Ke'er's appearance was originally beautiful, and she had just come out of the bath at the moment, and she was full of water vapor, like a hibiscus out of the water, and she exuded a touching charm in addition to being beautiful. ∽↗∽↗，

"Senior Sister Ke, I didn't mean to peep at it, I just happened to hear a sound here, and I thought there was an enemy, so I ......," Shi Mu explained with some embarrassment.

"I've been hiding in the stronghold for a while, and I haven't bathed for a while, so I come here to wash my body before it's dark. Ke'er blushed and said quickly shyly.

With a wave of her hand, the black vines quickly burrowed into the ground.

Shi Mu glanced at the black vine, and the thoughtful color in his eyes flashed.

The two glanced at each other and didn't speak for a while, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.

"Ahem...... It's almost dawn, so let's go back quickly. Shi Mu coughed dryly, put the knife into the sheath, and took the lead in breaking the silence and said.

Ke'er's face was slightly red, she didn't object, she straightened her hair a little, and followed Shi Mu towards the stronghold.

In the early morning in the forest, the warm sunlight spilled obliquely from the trees, falling on a man and a woman walking forward one after the other.

The man is tall and burly, with his arms swinging like the wind, while the woman is delicate and looks like a bird.

"Senior Brother Shi was outside at this time, did he come out to practice again last night?" Ke'er's beautiful eyes flashed, and she suddenly sped up a few steps, and advanced with Shi Mu, and asked.

"Exactly. Shi Mu nodded and said.

"Senior Brother Shi is really diligent, no wonder his strength is so extraordinary and he can also cultivate the way of magic, and the little sister is far behind. As far as I know, among the young disciples of the Miaoyin Sect, there are very few who can be compared to Senior Brother Shi. Ke'er looked at her gently and said softly.

"Senior Sister Ke has won the award. Your wood technique is also extremely skillful, that vine just now shouldn't be an ordinary thing, right?" Shi Mu asked casually.

"That's just an ordinary wood-based technique, how can it be compared to Senior Brother Shi. By the way, the little sister doesn't have many talismans on her body, and she wants to ask Senior Brother Shi to help refine a few fireball talismans, I wonder if Senior Brother Shi is free?" Ke'er asked sharply.

"As long as the junior sister provides the materials. Naturally, there is no problem. Shi Mu agreed.

The two of them talked and laughed, and the atmosphere was much more harmonious, and soon they arrived near the big tree stronghold under the cliff.

At this moment, there was a "bang" from the bushes in front of him, and a man walked out.

The girl was startled, and saw that it was Bai Yuxiu, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

Shi Mu frowned slightly.

"You ......"

Bai Yuxiu glanced at the two of them, his face suddenly turned a little blue, and he looked at Shi Mu viciously.

Shi Mu glanced at Ke'er beside him. I looked at my body again, and my heart was a little abrupt.

Ke'er's shawl hair was not dry at the moment, and it was obvious that he had just bathed in water, and he himself was covered with dew because he had sat outside all night, as if he had just taken a bath.

The situation of the two of them is indeed easy to misunderstand at first glance.

Ke'er obviously thought of this at the moment, but recalled that Shi Mu had seen her body bathing before. My face couldn't help but get a little hot again.

Bai Yuxiu saw Ke'er's shy expression, and his heart burned even more with jealousy.

"Senior Brother Bai, what's the matter? I'll take my leave first. Shi Mu said lightly, and walked towards the direction of the big tree.

He knew very well that it was useless to explain anything at the moment, and he didn't intend to explain anything at all.

Ke'er then also bowed slightly towards Bai Yuxiu, walked past him, and followed behind Shi Mu with a light move.

Bai Yuxiu watched the two of them walk towards the back of the big tree on the edge of the cliff. A hint of malice flashed in his eyes.

Shi Mu returned to the cave residence and sat down, his face groaning.

Bai Yuxiu has always been hostile to him, and he has often stumbled on him in the past few months, but he is afraid of his identity as a talisman. It's not too out of line.

It's just that this incident happened again today, and the two of them may have completely turned their faces, and they need to be more vigilant against Bai Yuxiu in the future.

However, in front of the others in this stronghold, he habitually hid most of his strength, and he had all kinds of talismans on his body, and there were a lot of killer weapons, I believe that even if Bai Yuxiu had any conspiracy, he would have enough confidence to protect himself.

Of course, if this person used any vicious means against him, he would naturally not be relentless.

In the following time, Shi Mu sat down cross-legged, groped with his hand in his arms for a while, and took out a black bone fragment, which was the bone fragment of the Great Demon Ape's rebirth technique.

He couldn't help but have a look of regret on his face.

He still hasn't been able to cultivate this powerful demon ape's rebirth technique.

After the Celestial Phenomena Gong advanced to the fourth layer, Shi Mu exchanged for a bottle of demonic qi and some ape essence blood at a stronghold of the Terran Alliance, and once tried to cultivate the powerful demon ape rebirth technique, but unfortunately the true qi in his body was still too weak to withstand the invasion of demonic qi.

It is estimated that it will not be possible to start cultivating the Mighty Demon Ape Rebirth Technique until the Celestial Phenomena Gong has advanced to the fifth layer.

Shi Mu sighed, carefully put away the bone fragments, and immersed himself in the cultivation of the Celestial Phenomena Gong again.

As a rule, you can rest for a few days after a mission.

Two days passed in a flash.

Shi Mu practiced the Celestial Phenomena Gong in the mine during the day, and went out to practice the Moon Swallowing Style at night, and Bai Yuxiu never found fault.

However, in the early morning of the third day, Shi Mu came back from cultivating the Moon Swallowing Style, and as soon as he stepped into the mine, his complexion changed slightly.

I saw more than a dozen people in the stronghold, all sitting solemnly at the stone table.

"Senior Brother Shi, I'm waiting for you, come and sit down. The young Taoist priest who had asked Shi Mu to refine the golden armor talisman stood up and said hello to Shi Mu.

"Why are they all gathered here, but what happened?" Shi Mu asked slowly.

At this time, Ke'er in the crowd smiled at Shi Mu and pointed to a stone bench beside him.

Shi Mu's mind moved, and then he walked over and sat down.

A shadow flashed in the depths of Bai Yuxiu's eyes, and the green tendons on his neck disappeared as soon as they appeared.

"Since everyone is here, I'm not going to talk nonsense, let's take a look at this first. He took a deep breath, didn't look at Shi Mu and Ke'er, turned over his hand and took out the white disc, the white light flashed, condensed into a white light curtain in mid-air, and a line of red text appeared on it.

Shi Mu's face changed slightly.

There are certain standards for the colors used in the tasks issued by the Alliance, ordinary tasks are white, special tasks are black, and only particularly important tasks will be displayed in blood-colored text.

When the others saw the red text, they were also shocked.

"This is the alliance mission we just received this morning, asking us to sneak attack a barbarian grain and grass stronghold fifty miles away from the mountain range, and burn all the grain and grass there. Bai Yuxiu looked around and said.

"A stronghold of grain and grass near the mountains...... Could it be that barbarian stronghold near the Eagle Sorrow Stream?" a disciple of the Wind and Fire Sect asked in shock.

"That's right, exactly there. Bai Yuxiu nodded expressionlessly.

"How can this be done? I have explored the stronghold there in Eagle Sorrow Stream, where the terrain is treacherous, guarded by hundreds of barbarians, and there are many totemic warriors, how can we deal with a dozen of us. The Fenghuo Sect disciple said urgently.

"The blood-lettered mission issued by the alliance, no matter how dangerous it is, can only be carried out. Bai Yuxiu glanced at the man and said lightly.

When the rest of the people present heard this, their hearts sank, but no one said anything more.

The alliance punishes the disciples who disobey the order very severely, ranging from sealing the cultivation and sending them to various places to serve hard labor, and directly abolishing the cultivation and demoting them to miscellaneous labor, and not being allowed to go out of the mountain for life.

"Although this task is difficult, the reward for merit points after completing it is also extremely rich, a full eight hundred points, and of course it will be distributed fairly according to the amount of effort you have contributed. Bai Yuxiu's gaze swept over everyone and said slowly.

When everyone heard this, their faces looked a little better.

"Since everyone has no objections, let's discuss the specific arrangements first. Seeing this, Bai Yuxiu took out a piece of plain paper from his bosom, on which he drew a topographical map of the valley.

"I've been to Eagle Stream before, which was originally a cottage of bandits and robbers, and the location is quite secret. After the barbarian invasion, the robbers abandoned the village and fled, and the barbarians used it as a stronghold for storing grain. I have a rough memory of the terrain and have drawn it for your reference. As he spoke, he spread the paper on the table.

Shi Mu raised his eyes and looked over, Bai Yuxiu drew the map of the Eagle Sorrow Stream in great detail, and the terrain around the valley was clearly marked.

In the gourd-shaped valley, some buildings are simply outlined, and it looks like a walled city, which can be roughly seen to be divided into two layers.

He glanced at the Fenghuo Sect disciple who had been to Eagle Chou Stream, and when he saw that there was nothing abnormal about him, he was relieved.

It seems that this terrain should be a big problem.

"As Senior Brother Zheng said, there are a large number of barbarians stationed in Eagle Chou Stream, and the strength is strong, and it is absolutely impossible for a dozen of us to fight hard. Bai Yuxiu said solemnly.

"Senior Brother Bai has come up with a clever plan?" Ke'er asked when she heard this, her voice crisp.

"Hehe, I don't dare to do it. I discussed it with a few juniors and decided to move in two ways. One of the teams pretended to storm the cottage to lure the enemy and attract the attention of the barbarians as much as possible, while the other team took advantage of the chaos to sneak into the Eagle Sorrow Stream, waiting for an opportunity to burn the barbarian grain and grass. Bai Yuxiu smiled at Ke'er and explained slowly.

As soon as Bai Yuxiu said this, everyone around the stone table fell silent.

Many of them frowned, while others had thoughtful expressions on their faces.

It's not a clever plan, but it's a decent one, and if nothing else, there are plenty of chances to get the job done.

After thinking about it for a moment, no objections were raised.

"Since everyone has no opinion, let's move on to the distribution plan. Seeing this, Bai Yuxiu showed a rare smile on his face. (To be continued.) )u
