Chapter 53

The sandstorm lasted for a very long time, and the Shen Mu team decided to take turns keeping vigil and resting first.

The group of low-level demon beasts in front of him were deterred by the momentum of Shen Mu's martial artist, and they would not become a threat for the time being, but it was difficult to say after the sandstorm was over.

"Lin Tian, you can arrange to rest first, I will keep watch, and we will leave here as soon as the sandstorm stops. Shen Mu said to everyone.

"Okay, Brother Shen Mu, thank you for your hard work. Lin Tianyi arched his hand and beckoned Xu Kai to rest cross-legged in the corner together, Su Qianqian and Xiaomei didn't speak after looking at each other, and went to rest next to Lin Tian.

"Xiaomu, why don't you rest for a while? Lin Xue still held Shen Mu's hand, and when she saw that everyone had gone to rest, she whispered.

"It's okay, even if I don't practice cross-kneeling, the exercises in my body will regulate their own pranayama. Shen Mu whispered the Twin Spirit Yin and Yang Technique to Lin Xue, and then carefully explained the wonderful use of this exercise, which made Lin Xue blush for a while.

"Then why don't I try to practice too? I will be able to double cultivate with you in the future, hehe. Lin Xue blushed, but her answer was as cunning as a fox.

Lin Xue mentioned this, and Shen Mu only reacted, although the Twin Spirits Yin and Yang Technique would not have much effect on individual cultivation, it could also improve cultivation faster than normal cultivation when cultivating, so it was said that it was one of the exercises that everyone at the top of the Judgment Council must learn. Without delay, he took out the exercises from his underwear pocket and handed them directly to Lin Xue.

Lin Xue didn't hesitate when she saw Shen Mu, her face suddenly turned red as if she was about to drip water, and said in a low voice: "Xiao Mu, since you think so, I won't shirk." "It seems that what was said later, it was as thin as a mosquito and I couldn't hear it clearly.

Shen Mu was embarrassed for a moment, knowing that Lin Xue had misunderstood, so he explained to her that he didn't want to double cultivate, but just talked about the benefits of this exercise.

"Oooh. Lin Xue also knew that she had misunderstood, and she blushed and stopped talking, but just took Shen Mu's hand and shook it to hide something.

Although the sandstorm came quickly, it did not go slowly, and the roar of the wind did not gradually subside until the second half of the night.

Shen Mu immediately noticed the weakening of the sandstorm, and beckoned everyone to wake up and run away.

"It's dangerous to travel at night, but it's really unwise to stay in this stone house where I don't know how many monsters there are. Shen Mu gave everyone an analysis.

"Boss, we all listen to you!" Wang Bin was very good.

The rest of the people had no opinion, and in less than ten minutes, the wind was much less and they were on the road.

"Everyone try to cover their noses and mouths, and don't inhale the dust!" Lin Tian shouted, "Now that the dust has not completely faded, there is no starlight, everyone should try to deter the poisonous insects underground." ”

That's right, there are poisonous insects all the way back, and these poisonous insects are not afraid of sand and dust, and will hide underground.

Shen Mu and the others had to clean up the poisonous insects while rushing to the road, all the way to dawn, and finally rushed back to Tieshi Town half a day later.

Ironstone.

This mission was extremely difficult, and Lin Tian also reflected a lot on it. "I'm sorry, this time it's my Lin Tian's dereliction of duty, I didn't expect the wolves to be so ferocious, if it wasn't for Brother Shen Mu to kill the wolf king, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to come back alive." ”

"It's not just a mission, if my boss hadn't discovered the sandstorm, I guess we'd all be buried over there by now. Wang Bin saw that the boss showed his might, and he was even more dog-legged.

"Hehe, at least we're back safely, let's rest early. Shen Mu didn't think so, and put the credit on luck, in fact, it wasn't that he was modest, if it weren't for everyone's sight being blocked by the wolves, he wouldn't have been able to cast a spell. If it weren't for the soul of Mu Bai in his body to help him, he wouldn't have advanced to the rank of martial artist to kill the wolf king. At that time, the fighting spirit was exhausted.

"Why don't we go back to the headquarters of the Boulder Mercenary Group together, although we are only a B-level mercenary group, but there are guest rooms for entertaining guests. Lin Tian suggested.

Shen Mu and Lin Xue glanced at each other and felt that there was nothing wrong with it, so they nodded and agreed.

The headquarters of the Boulder Mercenary Regiment is located in the northeast corner of Ironstone Town, near the official town entrance.

Lin Tian took the lead in showing the badge of the members and smoothly entered the headquarters.

"Xue, look at the mercenary group, there is a reception anyway, should we follow suit? Shen Mu asked Lin Xue in a low voice.

"Hmph, they said that they were afraid of idle people and other people breaking in, but our headquarters is different, whoever trespasses will be killed. Lin Xuejiao snorted and said.

Shen Mu's head was full of black lines, what is it called a random break-in and killing, "cough cough," Shen Mu had to cough lightly twice to relieve the embarrassment.

"Brother Shen Mu, what's wrong with you, is there anything uncomfortable?" Lin Tian heard Shen Mu's movements, turned around and asked.

"Oh, nothing, it's just a little hot, hehehe. Shen Mu smiled awkwardly.

"Is it hot?" Lin Tian looked at Shen Mu's torn shirt and trousers, looking puzzled. "Then why don't you go back to the guest room to rest first, and the dinner will be delivered to you later, and we will discuss the affairs of the academy tomorrow morning." ”

"Okay, okay," Shen Mu immediately glanced at Lin Xue.

"One room!" Lin Xue understood and said immediately.

Wang Bin and the two of them were coaxed again.

Shen Mu didn't pay attention to the others, and came to the guest room under the guidance of a housekeeper.

It is not uncommon for a B-level mercenary group to have a butler and reception, in this situation where more than 10% of the population is ordinary people, the identity of the warriors is even more unusual, and the source of funds they get for doing tasks is much higher than that of ordinary people, like reception and housekeepers actually don't cost much.

"Lin Xue, I'll first breathe and consolidate my cultivation. Back in the guest room, Shen Mu breathed directly on the side.

Lin Xue responded, went to bed by herself, and opened the martial arts that Shen Mu gave him with the Imperial Spirit Technique. The corners of his mouth smiled slightly, and he said to himself. "It turns out to be called the Twin Spirits Yin and Yang Formula, so let's try it, you can't waste Xiaomu's thoughts. ”

Shen Mu has not consolidated his cultivation since he advanced, and at this time, he was also very happy when he looked inside, the original blood-colored mist had condensed into a small blood crystal, and the fighting qi emitted by the small cyclone was absorbed by the blood crystal. "The power of this blood crystal is so pure," the power contained in such a small piece must not be underestimated, under the compression of the blood crystal fighting qi, the original blood-red fighting qi is darker in color, almost red and purple.

Shen Mu was actually a little surprised, because he had seen Captain Huang's battle, although the color of Commander Huang's fighting spirit was close to purple, it was still in the blood-red ranks, and at this moment, the color of his fighting spirit was actually close to the color of Commander Huang's fighting spirit. Legend has it that only after reaching the peak of the Martial Emperor will the color of the fighting spirit condense into purple, and the power is even more incomparable.

"Could it be that my fighting spirit is also born mutated, and I am born a grade higher than others?" Shen Mu thought to himself, he must find Lin Xue to confirm later.

After confirming the situation of the blood crystal, Shen Mu looked at the demon group in his body again, although the cultivation of the demon group has never stopped, it is still impossible to advance, and now he can't feel the saturation of the demon group's energy at all, only when the energy reaches saturation, can he feel the bottleneck of advancement. However, Shen Mu is indeed a little unfamiliar with the word bottleneck, several of his advances were completed unconsciously in battle, and even the martial artists who are very difficult to break through are actually achieved in a handful, and it is unbelievable that they are smooth.

"Could it be that Mu Bai's breakthrough experience has been transformed into his own body?" Shen Mu thought, planning to wait for the next time the spirit master breaks through.

The time of cultivation always passed quickly, and Shen Mu felt that it had only been a short while, but it was already dinner time.

"Shen Mu, I'm not here, papapa. There was a knock on the door of the guest room, and a girl's voice came in. "Shen Mu, it's time to eat, open the door quickly. ”

Shen Mu was speechless, and withdrew from the cultivation state faintly, "Shallow girl, can't you be gentle?" got up to open the door while complaining, and glanced back at Lin Xue, there was a gauze curtain on the bed, and there was no movement inside.

Open the door.

"Okay, you Shen Mu," Qianqian turned around and entered the guest room with a plate, "So you're here." Hee-hee," said with a wicked smile as he glanced at the bed with the curtain drawn.

Shen Mu was full of black lines, "Shallow, what are you talking about, I'm cultivating!"

Su Qianqian continued to laugh evilly, "Double cultivation? hehe!" said as he brought the plate to the table, with three side dishes and two bowls of rice inside. "Okay, I won't tease you, Shen Mu, I've brought you the food, and I'll take a look at your situation by the way. ”

"Oh, what's the situation with me!" Shen Mu walked to the side of the bed to wake up Lin Xue to eat, and opened the curtain only to find Lin Xue cross-legged, covered in blue and full of fighting spirit, "I'm cultivating, then I won't bother," Shen Mu muttered to himself, returning to the table.

"Shen Mu, we reported the situation of this academy mission with the head of the group, the head of the group is very interested in you, and said that I will come to visit you later, our head of the group is Wu Zun. Qianqian was obviously a little proud, "You can't be rude when the head of the meeting comes." ”

Shen Mu smiled, "Is the leader of the Giant Stone Mercenary Group?" Okay, then I have to eat first, hehe." "Shen Mu still has more respect for the mercenary group in his heart, after all, they are all demon beasts and guardians of human beings.

"Well, you can eat quickly, and ask me any questions, hehe. "Shallow sat on the side, a little well-behaved.

Speaking of what was wrong, Shen Muzhi really remembered something, "By the way, do you know someone named Lin He?" I used to be escorted by them on the way to the academy, so I met me, and I always felt embarrassed if I didn't say hello." Shen Mu scratched his head, remembering the one who beckoned him to join the Boulder Mercenary Group Lin He.

"Oh, you said Brother Lin, I said that he would escort us to the academy, of course I remember, I went on a mission with him not long ago, Brother Lin is already a high-level martial artist, and I respect him very much," Qian Qian recalled, "Brother Lin is at the headquarters now, I'll go and say hello." After speaking, Qianqian walked out of the guest room like a butterfly.

Shen Mu smiled, glanced at Lin Xue in the bed again, and after seeing that there was no movement, he ate dinner by himself.

In less than half an hour, there was another knock on the door: "Shen Mu open the door, we are coming." "Shallow knocked on the door this time and was obviously a lot gentler.

"Squeak," Shen Mu opened the door and invited the three figures outside into the house.
