Chapter 27: The Road to Rivalry is Narrow
"Huh... Bang..."
"Boom..."
"The sixth section of Xuandi... It seems that it is still a little difficult to kill the demon beast of the eighth stage of Xuandi. ”
In a gloomy forest, a ray of sunlight squeezed into this space, Lin Mu looked at the corpses of demon beasts all over the ground, a few sweat stains oozed from his forehead, and his breathing was a little disordered.
That day, he left Tianfeng, first went to mercenary town, got a few short knives, and then hurriedly came here from west to east, and then marched all the way to the southeast after entering the edge area, stopping and stopping along the way, after dozens of battles, and finally successfully advanced not long ago, until now, the demon beasts of the sixth stage of Xuandi can also be easily killed in an instant without manipulating the vitality, and the harvest of more than half a month can not be described as abundant.
After a slight adjustment, Lin Mu followed the route he had come, and went all the way to the north, going quickly.
When he came, he had already asked Chen Ye about the location and specific situation of the eight-stage demon beast, and he already had a ruler in his heart.
The big salty long snake is located in the north of the mountain range, and there is a big mountain with no grass.
The mountain is boxy, and in this mysterious barren mountain there is a strange snake called the Great Salty Long Snake, which is at least 800 feet long, and has hairs like pig's bristles.
This kind of snake screams not like the "hissing" sound of ordinary snakes, but more like the sound of a husband striking a wooden pole in the hazy night.
The skin and snake gall bladder on its body are one of the favorite medicinal materials of alchemists.
Because they can refine not only medicine, but also poison.
As for his demon core, it is one of the refiner's favorite materials, especially for the two-star refiner, this is the key to refining the second-grade spirit weapon.
The spirit weapon is different from the treasure weapon, just like its name, the spirit weapon has its own spiritual wisdom, although it is only the beginning of the spiritual wisdom, but it is also more precious than the flat plate treasure of the unknown grade.
If you want to refine a spiritual weapon, you must have the demon core of the demon beast that has opened the spirit as its core, and the demon beast that has opened the spirit is at least the sixth stage of the Xuandi, and no refiner is to kill the beast and take the core by himself, after all, the danger factor of fighting with the demon beast is extremely high, and they are more willing to exchange the items in their hands for the demon core, or even promise it, you know, a promise from the refiner can really be regarded as a promise.
Lin Mu left, it was another two days, and finally, at the end of the second day, he rushed to the mountain range where there was no grass.
Not only the mountain range, but also the radius of the mountain range, there is no grass, and it can be seen at a glance in the blink of an eye.
It is worth thanking that there are no demon beasts moving around here, probably because there is a giant long snake entrenched here.
The strange thing is that this mountain range and its surroundings are surprisingly quiet and lifeless, not at all like the West Stygian Mountains, but like the barren mountains and mountains that have been abandoned for a long time, and from where you look, you can't see that there is a huge long snake living here.
Lin Mu walked forward cautiously, the wild grass under his feet was "clicked" by his stepping, his dark eyes looked around vigilantly, and he didn't know when he had already held the short knife hidden in his body.
After walking for about half an hour, a hole in the ground with a circumference that could only accommodate one person gradually came into view of Lin Mu.
He walked slowly, pondered for a moment, and then plunged headlong into it.
As soon as he entered the cave, darkness instantly filled Lin Mu's eyes, he frowned, and without thinking about it, he urged the vitality in his body to give birth to a pinch of fire on the index finger of his right hand.
In the blink of an eye, there was some light in the cave, and the scene inside was reflected in Lin Mu's eyes in the flickering light and darkness.
There is no difference between this inside and outside, there is also no grass, and there is no sign of the survival of demon beasts, all of which makes this huge hole in the ground look particularly gloomy.
At a glance, it was pitch black, as if no matter how much you looked, Lin Mushen walked shallowly, I don't know how long I walked, and finally heard some sound at a certain moment.
“...”
Lin Mu listened quietly, but the sound never sounded again, and there was silence in the cave again.
"Could it be that I heard it wrong?" Lin Mu thought to himself.
"No, the sound did come from inside, there must be something in there. ”
The experience and intuition of the three years of the Heavenly Spirit Sect told him that it was definitely not that he had heard it wrong.
If nothing else, just looking at the desolate scene around this place is unusual, and it is not at all what a mountain should have.
Besides, there is not a single demon beast moving around, which is even more extraordinary.
Lin Mu continued to walk forward, only this time, he quietly activated the vitality in his body, vigilantly guarding the surroundings, ready to fight at any time.
After walking for a while, Lin Mu heard several sounds one after another, and one of them even heard the sound of fighting, which made him more determined, there must be something strange in the cave.
"Maybe, Brother Chen is here. ”
Thinking of the purpose of his trip, he guessed that it was very likely that Chen Ye and the others had entered this cave before him, and had already had several encounters with the long snake.
Thinking of this, Lin Mu once again sped up his pace.
"Bang..."
"Boom..."
"This brute! Everyone, get up together and surround this brute!"
It didn't take long for Lin Mu to hear the sound again, only this time it was no longer intermittent, but a complete conversation.
"Huh?"
Hearing the voice just now, a wave of doubt arose in Lin Mu's heart, and he gradually slowed down his pace of progress, and even extinguished the fire in his hand.
Lin Mu walked slowly step by step, his eyes gradually adapted to the darkness in the cave, he vigilantly observed everything around him, and his ears tried hard to catch the surroundings, trying not to miss a trace of abnormality.
"Lin Mu?"
Suddenly, Lin Mu heard a familiar voice calling his name on his left side, and he subconsciously looked to the left.
"Huh?"
"Come here!"
Again, two very short words.
It's just that Lin Mu didn't hesitate to walk towards the source of the voice.
"Brother Chen, what's going on in front of you?"
Lin Mu took three steps and two steps, and walked to the source of the voice in minutes, this speaker was the young master of the Tianfeng Mercenary Group, Chenye.
Seeing that Lin Mu was safe and sound, Chen Ye breathed a deep sigh of relief, and then continued: "Ahead, it is the people of the Sandstorm Mercenary Group. ”
Hearing the news that Chen Ye said, Lin Mu's brows moved without a trace, and he lowered his voice and asked, "They also took over the task of killing the eight demon beasts of Xuandi?"
The ambition of this Sandstorm mercenary group is not small.
"Looks like it should be. Tatsuya replied.
"What do you want to do?" Lin Mu continued to ask.
"Let's see, if the Sandstorm people take on this task, then we'll have to think long-term. After all, it's not so simple to kill demon beasts and dispose of them at the same time. ”
Speaking of which, Tatsuya's voice sounded even deeper than it had just been.
After a moment of silence, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in Lin Mu's dark eyes, and he curled the corners of his mouth to look at Chenye with a solemn expression in front of him, and laughed softly.
"It's not necessarily a bad thing to have someone clear the way for us, maybe we'll have to thank them when the time comes. ”
"Huh?"
Chen Ye looked at Lin Mu suspiciously.
"Thank you to them for helping us get things done. ”
After that, the smile on Lin Mu's face became even stronger.
"Shhhhh
Chen Ye is not a stupid person, Lin Mudu said it so clearly, if he doesn't understand it, he is not worthy of his title of genius young master.
"The demon beasts of the eighth stage of Xuandi are not so easy to solve, listening to their situation, this should be a scout sent by Sandstorm, and there must be a major event in the future. ”
After Lin Mu's perception, the group of people who were fighting in front of him, the highest cultivation was only a one-star Xuanshi, and the others were all middle-level Xuanshu, and there were not even a few high-level Xuanshi, so he guessed that this group of people should have come to explore the way, but this group of people was eager to kill this big salty long snake whose strength was comparable to that of a high-level Xuanshi by themselves.
"Hmph, I can't help myself. ”
"Brother Chen, let's quit first, after a while, there should be another group of people in the sandstorm, and then we will meet that group of old friends for a while. Now, we don't have to. ”
Lin Mu can think of it, obviously Chen Ye can also think of it, after saying that, Chen Ye nodded in agreement without hesitation, and then ordered, although everyone was puzzled, but they did not refute, and quietly returned along the way they came.
"Brothers, let's set up camp around here first, everyone can move freely within a radius of five hundred miles, pay attention to vigilance!"
After everyone withdrew from the cave, Chen Ye said a few words, and then walked in the other direction with Lin Mu, leaving everyone to look at each other on the ground.
"Brother Lu, what is Brother Chen's attention to this beating?" one of them finally couldn't help but ask.
"Let's just listen, this time it is estimated that the sandstorm people will suffer a big loss. ”
Although Lu Zhuo is not very shrewd, he can also hear some ways from the conversation between the two, and after his own guessing, he can also guess eight or nine.
"This little brother Lin Mu is not simple. ”
