Chapter 134: Encounter with the Demon General
Shen Muke is no longer a novice mercenary, and in the face of uncertain factors, the most important thing is to rule it out. Slowly putting down the beautiful woman in his hand, Shen Mu tiptoed towards the bushes in front of him.
"There is neither spiritual power fluctuation nor anger, what the hell is this," Shen Mu thought to himself, his right hand had already touched the Yan Ji sword behind him.
"Huhu!" A low roar suddenly came from behind the big tree in front of Shen Mu, Shen Mu was startled, and as soon as the Iwahime sword was unsheathed, he was thrown to the ground by a black shadow.
"Damn, this speed is too exaggerated," Shen Mu wanted to activate the Holy Light Barrier immediately. His face was licked by the black demon beast.
"Whew!" two more growls.
"Haha, it's you, big guy, why didn't I say angry, I forgot that there was still you. By the way, why are you here!" Shen Mu was licked twice and immediately came to his senses, it turned out to be Xiuma.
Xiu Ma's wisdom is extremely high, although he can't speak, but the humanized eyes with the low roar and movements have already depicted the general meaning, and Shen Mu vaguely understands it.
"Are you saying that you were hunting demon beasts, and then came to see me after discovering me?" Shen Mu guessed.
Xiuma nodded, pointed at Shen Mu's lower abdomen with his front paws, took a step back, and a layer of purple qi came out of his body, and then put away the purple qi and stepped forward to "whirl" and roar twice.
"You said you felt my spiritual power, did you recognize me?"
Xiuma nodded again, and then ignored Shen Mu and walked towards Shen Mu's camp with graceful steps.
"Hey, slow down, keep your voice soft, don't wake up the resting inside. Shen Mu hurriedly caught up, and he didn't know what Xiuma was going to do.
When one man and one beast returned to the camp, Shen Mu unexpectedly found Lin Xue, who had been asleep before, sitting alone on the stake by the bonfire and adding firewood, "Xiaomu, you are back." Lin Xue smiled sweetly, and didn't seem to be particularly strange about Xiuma's arrival.
"Well, there were some situations just now, I went over to check, it turned out to be this big guy, Lin Xue, do you know it?" Shen Mu patted Xiu Ma who was lying by the bonfire enjoying the heat, Xiu Ma didn't seem to be disgusted by Shen Mu touching its head, just waved his ears symbolically to drive away.
"I don't know each other, I've heard people tell me before, it seems that the legend of the wandering Xiuma has a history of more than seven or eight years. There is no good or evil in this guy himself, and it also eats monsters, domestic animals, and occasionally attacks people, it seems that it all depends on its preferences. Legend has it that its cultivation is only a mid-level and mid-level demon beast, and it often moves in the west of the outer west of the Cangbei Forest, near the direction of Ratchet City. Unexpectedly, he has broken through to the level of a demon general now. Lin Xue fiddled with the bonfire and said flatly.
Shen Mu also understood a little, nodded, and patted Xiu Ma's forehead again: "Big guy, is what Lin Xue said right? It seems that you are not bad! If it wasn't for you last time, we probably wouldn't be able to come back." Thank you!"
Xiu Ma slightly opened his eyes and glanced at Shen Mu, but instead of answering, he gave a halche.
"Hehe, the big guy is quite arrogant, look at me!" Shen Mu tiptoed back to the small cave and took out a frozen hare, which was Huang Yixuan's masterpiece.
Skillfully melt the ice cubes with fighting energy, then peel and process them, skewer them with branches and start grilling.
"Xiaomu, do you have any ideas, is there a late-night cafeteria?" Lin Xue said with a smile.
"Hehe, Lin Xue, don't worry you have a share!" Shen Mu took the meat skewer in his hand with a little fighting spirit, and roasted it by the bonfire, adding Xu Yuyan's secret condiment while roasting, just ten minutes, the aroma of the kebab has begun to overflow, and the oil stains keep rolling on the surface, and with the continuous integration of the condiment, the golden meat begins to gradually glow with a layer of burnt yellow. At the same time, it also announced the success of this barbecue.
"Hehe," Shen Mu smirked, and two of the four skewers of barbecue were stretched out around Xiuma's nose, and shook it.
Poor Xiuma, who has always played the role of coldness, is still holding on not to open his eyes at this time, looking uninterested. Shen Mu persevered, and after another ten seconds, suddenly a puddle of unknown liquid was thrown out of Xiuma's mouth, which was its saliva.
Xiuma opened his eyes, and there was a little resentment in his eyes, "Huhu," and after two sounds, he quickly took two skewers of meat. Shen Mu almost didn't react, and the meat skewers in his hand were gone.
"What's the situation, my meat!" Shen Mu scratched his head with the hand that was holding the meat skewer.
"Poof," Lin Xue suddenly laughed, "I saw it eaten, Xiaomu come back, let it continue to pretend to be cold, don't stare at it, it's even more uncomfortable to hold the meat without chewing." ”
Shen Mu suddenly understood, hehe let out a wicked laugh, and sat down next to Lin Xue with the remaining two skewers of barbecue, "Lin Xue, here you go!" Shen Mu clenched his fists and slowly handed over the meat.
Lin Xue didn't doubt him, and directly reached out to take Shen Mu's thing, "Huh, how can this wooden stick have a ball on it?" After taking it, it didn't feel right, and Lin Xue immediately checked it. "Wow, Xiaomu, thank you!"
Shen Mu looked at Lin Xue with satisfaction with a colorful pearl, "This is my proud work, the only one in the world!"
Lin Xue looked at the bonfire with colored pearls between the two fingers of her left hand, and there were two words engraved in the pearls.
"Mu Xue. ”
"I'll definitely take care of it, this is the first gift you give!" Lin Xue took out a small silver chain out of nowhere, and then put it on the small button of the colorful pearl, and cherished the small pearl around her neck. "In return, I promise you one thing, anything. ”
Shen Mu was so overjoyed when he heard it, and Lin Xue blushed when she said a few words about anything at this time.
"Hehe, Lin Xue, this is what you said, then I made a lot of money this time, huh? I want to think about it, remember it first, and tell you when I think about it." ”
Facing Shen Mu's evil smile, Lin Xue didn't mind at all, but leaned up and kissed Shen Mu's cheek, "Well, tell me when you think about it." The atmosphere suddenly became a little charming.
Shen Mu hugged Lin Xue and didn't speak, Lin Xue wanted to ease the atmosphere, and suddenly said, "Xiao Mu, look at that black guy, and then secretly chew the barbecue just now." ”
Shen Mu habitually turned his head to see that Xiuma was caught, and just spit out two small wooden sticks with skewers, there was an embarrassed look on his big face.
"Hahaha," the two next door laughed.
"Huhu," Shuma seemed to feel insulted, and after a low roar, she got up and shook off the grass clippings on her body, and then glanced at the two of them and walked away without looking back, still walking gracefully, like a queen.
"This big guy has a big temper, is it the tsundere queen?" Shen Mu said to himself.
"Is Xiu Ma a mother?" Lin Xue's observation was quite strange, and Shen Mu was speechless for a while.
For some reason, this night was spent safely, and not even a single demon beast appeared again, so Shen Mu made some breakfast early in the morning, and then woke everyone up.
"Lin Xue, you eat first, mushroom stewed dry food, hehe, the taste is still good. Shen Mu gave Lin Xue a piece of food first, not for anything else, because only Lin Xue carried the tableware with him. There are several sets of cute tableware in the cabinet of that dimensional space.
A few other people were envious, they had always been either barbecued meat or dry food before, and they had never used cutlery at all. So Xiao Lori was the first to rush over, and asked for a set of cutlery with a dead face, and said that Huang Yixuan would be responsible for washing the dishes.
Huang Yixuan was not convinced, why did he want to wash the dishes as a middle-level water spirit master. But after Lin Xue generously shared a set of utensils with him, this complaint was immediately taken back by him, and said: "For the sake of the goddess, don't say it's washing dishes, even washing your feet is worth it!"
"Yixuan, you want to be beautiful, beg for a beating!" Little Lori stood up appropriately, defending Sister Linxue, and pulled out the Fire Dragon Pillar from her back, meaning that if you dare to talk nonsense, you will be abolished.
Huang Yixuan did beg to be beaten, and when he left, he glanced at Lin Xue's beautiful legs, and was slapped on the back of the head by Shen Mu.
Everyone was playing, and the Xu brothers and sisters later got the tableware, and Huang Yixuan released a water spell to wash all the tableware.
"Shen Mu, thank you for your hospitality, I didn't expect your cooking skills to be really good, I was so lucky last night, I had a good night's sleep, and the tension of the past two days has disappeared." Xu Yuyan praised while cleaning up the cave.
After being praised by the beauty, Shen Mu was not proud, and replied coolly, "It should be".
"Okay, Xiaomu, don't be complacent, record this location, we'll have to pass through here when we come back, and it's very good if there is a route with fewer monsters. Lin Xue reminded.
Shen Mu immediately came to his senses, found a big tree nearby, climbed up to find his current position, and then jumped down, "Everyone, there are two staggered peaks in front, let's go over and take a look, it happens to be in our north." Shen Mu observed the subsequent route while recording the location.
After packing their luggage, a few people rushed north for three hours, and finally encountered a big crisis when Cheng Yanyue proposed to rest.
A ghost tiger appeared on everyone's side without warning, and no one noticed.
"You're too careless, get ready to fight!" Lin Xue had obviously discovered the existence of this demon beast a long time ago.
"Shen Mu, what should I do, it's a demon general!" Xu Yuyan was obviously a little panicked, this was the first time she had encountered a demon beast of this level.
"Don't panic. Shen Mu, the Ghost Tiger is extremely good at stealth and speed, and his attacks are very deadly, so deal with them carefully. I'm not good at it!" Xu Yuyi saw the confrontation between the two sides and immediately reminded.
"Okay, it's easy to know its characteristics, I will do a good job of containment, and the Xu family brothers and sisters will protect the spirit master. Huang Shao, arrange the Frost Enchantment, slowing down its movement speed. Yue'er, cooperate with me to attack!" Shen Mu'er had already rushed out halfway through his words, because Huang Yixuan had already activated his magic power, and as soon as the ghost tiger noticed it, he immediately pounced.
