Chapter 23: The Calm Before the Tribulation
The sun was setting, and at this moment, it was dusk.
The mercenary town at night has long since lost the shadow of the busy and noisy day, only the horror of the quiet.
It borders the Western Stygian Mountains, and it is not safe at night.
There are always a few naughty monsters in the mountains who like to go out in the evening and go to crowded places to carry out activities.
Of course, this kind of thing depends on luck.
In case someone with the best luck is looked at by the demon beast, then they can only mourn.
In order to avoid being attacked by monsters as much as possible, each mercenary group will form a team of several people, and take turns to keep vigil in the evening, without exception.
The strong are respected, whether it is a demon beast or a human, this world has always been the same. And these small towns surrounded by monsters vividly interpret this point of view.
"En, Tianfeng?"
Just when Lin Mu's mind was still traveling in outer space, an open space surrounded by camping entered Lin Mu's sight, and a big eye-catching sky blue maple word hung next to each camping bag, there is no doubt that this is Tianfeng's camp!
It was already dusk, but at this moment, it seemed to become brighter, and four days of non-stop travel, constant searching, finally paid off.
The black-robed young man suppressed the excitement in his heart, and strode towards the camp in front of him in three steps and two steps, and the curvature of the corners of his mouth gradually spread.
Brother Chen, I'm here!
Approaching the encirclement of the camp, the first thing that entered Lin Mu's eyes was two teams of nine people patrolling back and forth outside the entrance of the encirclement, and there were two people guarding there at the entrance.
They are all in black coats, and a fiery red maple leaf on the left chest is particularly eye-catching, and a maple character on it is even more ingenious. It's completely different from the first time you meet, but it's the same.
"Excuse me......"
"You're little brother Lin Mu, right? Brother Chen has been waiting for you for a long time. ”
Just as he was about to speak, the sharp-eyed goalkeeper suddenly blurted out, grabbed Lin Mu and said in surprise.
Seeing that the goalkeeper could recognize him instantly, Lin Mu's heart rippled again.
He is a careful person who has only one side, what a careful person, it turns out that the agreement between them has always been in his heart.
"My name is Lu Zhuo, the captain of the seventh squad, if you don't mind, just call me an old brother, I often hear Brother Chen mention you, I thought you were a three-headed and six-armed person, but now I look at it, it turns out to be a handsome young man. ”
Perhaps, this is the gathering of things by like, and the division of people by groups. Chenye is hearty, and there must be some free and easy people around him.
"Brother Lu Zhuo!"
People who are free and easy must do things freely, hiding or beating around the bush, and Lin Mu doesn't like it.
"Hahahaha, your kid's character, I like it! Go, I'll take you to Brother Chen." ”
Hearing Lin Mu's refreshing response, Lu Zhuo seemed to have found a brother again, and grabbed Lin Mu, that feeling was so unhappy!
"Our brother Chen has been muttering recently, saying that you should be coming soon, let us all pay attention to the details, and the details of your description from hair to toes are almost not painted for you and pasted in front of our eyes, for fear that we will miss it or admit it wrong. Brother Chen was afraid that he happened to be absent when you came, and he didn't go out of the door all day long, and he didn't know who he thought was the eldest daughter of his family. ”
"Brother Lin Mu, I'm wondering, what kind of ecstasy did you give our young master, how can you let you 'bend' like this?"
Without waiting for Lin Mu to answer, Lu Zhuo kept talking to himself along the way.
"Young master?"
Lin Mu listened to Lu Zhuo's fragmented thoughts, and when he heard these two words, his steps suddenly stopped, and he asked suspiciously.
"Brother Chen is your young master?"
That day's dramatic acquaintance and chivalrous shot, Lin Mu only regarded it as the righteous indignation of everyone and the bloody nature of the young man in Chenye, guessing that he was at most a squad leader or relying on a certain blood-related elder and had a certain amount of weight to speak, but he didn't expect him to be ......
"You don't know?"
Seeing Lin Mu's slightly stunned expression, Lu Zhuo was stunned and said with a smile.
This little brother is really .........
"Ahem, don't be sneering at me, I've always grown up in a small town, and it's normal to not know.
Besides, I'm still a child, I don't know it's normal......" Lin Mu scratched his scalp in embarrassment, muttering cheekily.
At this moment, he, who had always wanted to grow up quickly, suddenly felt that there were still many benefits to being a child, for example, he could use age as an excuse.
"Forehead ........."
For Lin Mu's scoundrel, Lu Zhuo was speechless for the first time, so he had to look at him with contempt, and then silently drew an equal sign between Lin Mu and Chen Ye in his heart.
Someone is really looking for someone, two scoundrels get together, God knows what will happen in the future.
A child who looks so kind on the surface, how can he be so shameless in his heart.
After comprehending Lin Mu's little scoundrel, Lu Zhuo was calm on the surface but had already roared wildly uncontrollably in his heart.
Yes, their young masters, like this, often play scoundrels, and the victims are all of them.
Despite this, Chenye was still the pride of their Tianfeng mercenary group.
The genius young master Chen Ye is a new star that everyone looks up to and strives to chase, and it is the pride and faith of all of them.
"Seven-Star Xuanshi... Hey, there's still a certain gap between us......"
At the age of sixteen, he was already a seven-star Xuanshi, a genius young master, and he deserved it!
Talking freely will always make people lose track of time. With some talking, Lu Zhuo had unconsciously led Lin Mu to the clearing where Chen Ye was.
There, bonfires burn and laughter is heard.
In the vast dark night, a young man dressed in white was highlighted as particularly dazzling. Just like the stars in the night sky, bright ones can always easily catch people's eyes.
Under the light of the bonfire, the gray eyes bloomed more and more bewitchingly, and the hard lines of the face became more angular.
"Brother Chen......"
I haven't seen him for half a year, but his hearty smile is still the same, and he can easily enter people's hearts, and then quickly occupy a place.
At this moment, Lin Mu only watched quietly not far away, and the face that had not been seen for half a year was so clearly reflected in front of his eyes at this moment.
After a while, Lin Mu moved his excited and somewhat stiff legs, and slowly walked towards him.
"Brother Chen, the party here, add me alone, okay?!"
Putting away all his emotions, Lin Mu's voice suddenly resounded throughout the open space without warning.
And the white-clothed young man sitting on the ground was also slightly stunned at that moment, and even his vision gradually became blurred.
Chen Ye turned his head slightly, saw the familiar figure, and then, the clear voice blurted out.
"Good!"
Sometimes, one word is enough to say everything. Between brothers, there is no need to say more!
Everyone was also slightly stunned when they saw this sudden "uninvited guest", but in that moment, the enthusiastic voice burst out.
"This is the little brother Lin Mu that our brother Chen misses? It's good, no wonder our brother Chen waits in the camp like a big girl all day long, and he doesn't step out of the gate, it turns out to be such a cool brother. Hahahaha!"
"Okay, Brother Chen's brother is our brother. Brother Lin Mu, you're welcome, eat whatever you want. ”
“.........”
With Lin Mu's chaotic entry, the atmosphere of the party seemed to have reached a boiling point, and for a while, it completely ignited the cheerful atmosphere here.
Now they don't notice at all that the calamity is approaching them step by step!
"Brother Chen, you ........."
"Don't listen to their nonsense, I just happened to be in the camp, and the mercenary group had a mission recently, so I didn't leave. ”
"Mission?"
It can be seen that Chen Ye attaches great importance to this mission, which makes De Lin Mu interested.
What kind of task is it, so many people are needed, and he has to personally lead the team, and it would be nice to send a few teams to ordinary tasks.
"Well, our Tianfeng is ready to challenge the A-level mercenary group, and in a month, we will carry out the A-level mercenary mission. The specific content of the mission is to hunt a demon beast of the eighth stage of the Xuandi. Chen Ye wrinkled his handsome forehead, and explained everything to Lin Mu with some solemnity.
Hunting the demon beasts of the eighth stage of the Xuandi, this task is really perverted, and it is no wonder that no one has dared to take this A-level task for so many years. The first reaction of a normal person when he encounters the demon beast of the eighth stage of Xuandi is to run, who would think that he is too moist to find death.
