The dunes at night are not dark, and even without a bonfire, you can see the surrounding scenery in full view.

Shen Mu is the first shift tonight.

The first shift is usually more variable, so the team will choose the strongest person to keep vigil. At nightfall, all the nocturnal demon beasts began to swish as if they had just woken up.

Lin Xue didn't sleep in the tent, but worked side by side with Shen Mu around the bonfire, adding some firewood from time to time, and some didn't have to talk a word.

Since Shen Mu was keeping vigil, he didn't practice cross-legged, but quietly hugged Lin Xue, looking into the distance, as if thinking about something.

"Xiaomu, it's so noisy that I can't sleep. The quiet Lin Xue suddenly said inexplicably.

Shen Mu, who was in a daze, came back to his senses and looked at Lin Xue in his arms, with a trace of doubt in his eyes. He only heard a rustling sound in the distance, which was obviously the sound of some low-level demon beasts crawling, but it was not noisy.

"Lin Xue, are you dreaming?" asked Shen Mu in a low voice tentatively.

Lin Xue opened her eyes slightly, and muttered sleepily, "Xiaomu, it seems to be a little noisy in the north." ”

"North?" Shen Mu muttered to himself, and then looked back, the sky in the north was actually a little red, a little different from other directions, and it looked foggy.

After Lin Xue muttered, she fell asleep on her own, her breathing gradually becoming soft and even. Shen Mu looked at her dotingly, and gently took off the corner of his clothes to cover her.

Ten minutes and half an hour had passed, and something seemed wrong about the quiet night.

"Why are all the nearby insects and scorpions going south, and there are more and more!" Shen Mu didn't care about these details at first, because it was also the first time he had spent the night in the desert, but now it seemed that the situation was a little unusual.

At this time, the beautiful woman in her arms suddenly woke up from her dream with a humming sound, "Xiao Mu, the north is getting noisier and noisier, it seems that something is approaching!" Lin Xue straightened her bangs, although she didn't speak very clearly because she had just woken up, but Shen Mu still understood.

Although Lin Xue's cultivation was suppressed, her body's instinct was still there, and she felt abnormal.

"Lin Xue, I'm going to wake everyone up, you wait for me here!" Shen Mu made a decisive judgment, first of all, he had to wake everyone up. So he didn't delay, straightened Lin Xue and put on half of his clothes, and quickly ran to wake up everyone in the three tents.

Lin Tian was very vigilant, and as soon as he heard Shen Mu's call, he didn't care about putting on his coat and rushed out of the tent directly, followed by Xu Kai.

"Brother Shen Mu, what's going on!" Lin Tian was a little serious, he knew that Shen Mu was not the kind of person who liked to joke.

"Lin Tian, there seems to be a situation in the north, I don't know the specifics, at least I feel that the danger is approaching, look at the sky over there!" Shen Mu got straight to the point, pointing to the north with one hand.

"What!" Lin Tian and Xu Kai hurriedly looked. "Red sky, what's going on, hurry! Pack up and we'll go!"

Xu Kai was halfway through speaking, Shen Mu scratched his head a little, and Lin Tian continued: "Last time, I listened to the seniors of the mercenary group chatting, and when I said that the appearance of a red sky at night in the desert means that a sandstorm is coming!"

"Ahh

"Shallow, Xiaomei, help tidy things up, put out the campfire, and tidy up the food. Brother Shen Mu, we put away our tents and can only leave at night, we must find a bunker that can hide from the sandstorm, otherwise we will be swallowed. Lin Tian had a straight face, and they were very serious together.

Shen Mu immediately returned to Lin Xue's side without delay, "Lin Xue, the sandstorm is coming, let's pack up and get ready to leave." ”

"Well, no wonder I think it's a little noisy in the north, hehe, Xiaomu, you go get busy, I can take care of myself. Lin Xue said with a slight smile.

"Well, I'll be right back!" Shen Mu gave a reassuring look, and then turned away.

"Brother Shen Mu, it's too late, just take two tents. Lin Tian picked up his luggage and greeted a few people.

In less than ten minutes from getting up to cleaning up the tent, everyone still clearly felt that the vibration around them was getting stronger and stronger, and the wind in the air was also flowing rapidly.

"Snow, let's go. Shen Mu took the burden on his back, took Lin Xue's hand and hurried to the south with everyone.

"Xiao Mu, follow those low-level demon beasts, they know where to avoid this disaster. Lin Xue reminded.

Shen Mu was overjoyed, Lin Xue's identity as the head of the regiment was not an ornament, so he immediately reminded everyone. Lin Tian was also an experienced person, and as soon as Shen Mu mentioned it, he immediately beckoned everyone to follow the few lizards in front of him again.

"Huhuhu~" After a while, the wind began to sweep around everyone, and the sand and dust on the ground began to diffuse, "In another fifteen minutes at most, the sandstorm will completely catch up with us," Xu Kai reminded everyone.

"Xiao Mu, don't worry, even if you are swallowed by the sandstorm, I have a way to keep you safe, hehe," Lin Xue couldn't help but laugh when she saw Shen Mu's worried look when she was holding her hand.

Shen Mu was speechless, I'm afraid Lin Xue can still laugh, with her cultivation in her heyday, let alone flying over this sandstorm, I'm afraid even if it is more than enough to cut through this sandstorm.

"Xue, don't mess around, you know what your situation is," Shen Mu reminded again and again.

Lin Xue winked playfully and stuck out her tongue, "Don't forget that I still have Snow Shadow, as long as I input Dou Qi, it will activate its Spirit Protector." It won't affect the seal in my body, but the spiritual power color of the spiritual weapon needs to be warmed up at ordinary times, and my current cultivation can't warm it, I'm afraid that using it once will make its spirit fall into a deep sleep. ”

Shen Mu was curious for a while, it was the first time he had heard of the Spirit Weapon Protector, so he asked again: "Xue, last time you said that Luomei has a character weapon spirit, what about your Snow Shadow?"

Lin Xue's little eyes rolled and she laughed, "Hehe, Xiaomu, guess!"

Shen Mu's face was full of black lines, and he came out like this at such a critical juncture, so he had to guess helplessly: "Is it better than character?" Shen Mu felt that the grade of Snow Shadow was higher, but helplessly, he didn't know what grades the spirit weapon had, and he hadn't been to the class.

"Hehe, Xiaomu, I thought you would guess the Heavenly Steps, but you guessed correctly. Lin Xue looked a little surprised.

"No, isn't that the same level as Falling Plum, but I feel that Snow Shadow is stronger than Falling Plum. ”

"Xiaomu, don't be surprised, it's not long since the Snow Shadow was forged, it's my natal spirit weapon, that's why it's so powerful, and its tool spirit age is only a teenager, maybe it will grow to a higher level in the future. ”

"Will the machine spirit grow?"

"Of course, the growth of machine spirits depends on killing a large number of demon beasts, or devouring other machine spirits. ”

Shen Mu was surprised and asked if these were all taught by the academy tutor. As a result, he was ridiculed by Lin Xue again.

"That, boss, can you find a way out, I can't stand you two flirting like this. Although the wind was strong at this time, others could still vaguely hear the laughter of Shen Mu and the others.

"Xiao Mu, the aura of the demon beasts in the front right is very strong, and many demon beasts are gathered over there, compared to what terrain can shelter the sandstorm, let's go and see. Lin Tian had outstanding perception ability, and he guided Shen Mu in the direction while hurrying.

Shen Mu didn't doubt it at all, and told everyone about the situation directly, everyone thought that the martial artist's sensing ability was strong, and they didn't doubt it, and the group ran straight to the right front.

"At this rate, we'll be in time, haha." There was still a black shadow of a gundam in front of him, and now everyone could see it, Lin Tian breathed a sigh of relief and laughed.

Shen Mu still remembered that the aura of the demon beasts over there was strong, so he reminded everyone not to be careless and prepare for a big battle, and everyone was also holding their weapons tightly and preparing to attack.

In less than two or three minutes, Shen Mu's team swept into the tall boulder building together.

"Wow, why are there so many demon beasts!" Wang Bin was startled as soon as he entered, less than five meters in front of them, there were three sand wolves and several monitor lizards.

"They also seem to be scared, and they just bared their teeth at us. "Xiaomei is still very careful as a girl, and she reminds everyone of the unusualness at this time.

"It seems that this is the case, and at the same time avoid trouble here, the sandstorm is coming, and driving them out should cause them to resist desperately, so it's better not to provoke them. Lin Tian said.

"Lin Tian is right, this stone house is so huge, I don't know how many low-level demon beasts there are in it, at this time they are trembling with fear, but once their ferocity is stimulated, it will definitely be us who are driven out. As a martial artist, as soon as the momentum on Shen Mu's body radiated at this time, the low-level demon beasts nearby leaned even closer to the darkness of the stone house.

In this way, a few boys sat on the periphery, the girls inside, and everyone leaned against the wall of the inner room. After sitting still, there was a sudden wind outside, and a trace of starlight was obscured by the darkness, and the whole world seemed to fall into the apocalypse.

"Xiao Mu, what do you think of the outside world now?" Lin Xue hugged something from behind, leaned her head on his back, and asked softly.

Shen Mu pondered for a while and then replied, "It's like the Hell King has descended. ”

"Hehe, Xiaomu, you underestimate the Hell King too much. Lin Xue chuckled and continued, "I once heard that the Demon Emperor of the Vast Road directly destroyed a giant city with just a wave of his hand. ”

"How about that compared to the Demon Monarch?" Shen Mu had seen the Demon Monarch, so he had some concepts.

"Compared to the Demon Monarch?" Lin Xue seemed to be looking for an adjective to describe the gap between them. "The Demon Emperor is also vulnerable in front of the Demon Emperor, not much stronger than the wild boar, the Demon Emperor is an existence that transcends everything, and even the human being is the chief judge cannot compete with it. ”

"No, wouldn't it be a matter of a thought that he wanted to rule the entire continent?" Shen Mu was surprised.

"It is said that he has long ruled the entire continent, and our Cangnan Continent is only less than one percent of the entire vast road, and the current human beings deceive themselves and do not disclose the existence of the vast continent to the outside world. ”

"Are the Demon Monarchs all from the Vast Continent, why hasn't the Demon Emperor appeared here?"

"I just heard that our Cangnan Continent was actually sealed by a human powerful predecessor, the purpose is to protect us humans, the great power hit the demon emperor back then, so that it has not healed until now, but it has also fallen, and the blood sacrifice seal before the fall, and the demon beasts above the demon monarch cannot pass the seal, so as to preserve the last bloodline of our human race. But the Demon Emperor will always recover one day, and there will be a deadline for the survival of human beings, unless..." "Unless someone can kill the Demon Emperor!"

"Hehe, Lin Xue, you're joking, whoever can have such a great ability, the presiding judge can only fight against the demon monarch, according to what you say, the demon emperor is invincible, who can compete." Shen Mu smiled dryly.

Lin Xue's tone still returned to normal, and she said softly in Shen Mu's ear: "Who said that no one can compete with it, the demon beast said that the genius who awakened the dual talents." ”

Shen Mu was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

"Heavenly reincarnation, human beings will not be destroyed. Lin Xue's words seemed to open the door to Shen Mu's inner world, could it be that she was really the choice of Heaven!
