A few days have passed, and the beast tide outside Cangbei City has finally ended.

The headquarters of the Twilight Xue Mercenary Group has been very quiet in the past few days, Shen Mu is practicing every day in addition to cultivating, he can obtain Lin Xue's body and martial arts when he reaches the martial master, and he can use the earth spirit fruit when he reaches the spirit master, and all kinds of temptations are waiting for him. However, how could it be so easy to improve his cultivation, even with the help of a small cyclone in his body after a few days, Shen Mu still felt that his cultivation progress was very slow.

"Xiao Mu, why are you frowning, do you have anything on your mind?" Lin Xue, who was sitting on the side of Shen Mu's room, woke up and found that Shen Mu, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, had been frowning.

"It's nothing, I just feel that the cultivation speed is too slow. Shen Mu sighed.

"I don't think it's slow, Xiao Mu, you're only fifteen years old, you're already a high-level spirit and martial artist, you're already a super genius, okay. Lin Xue woke up and smashed her mouth, as if she was starting to eat something.

"Lin Xue, why don't you sleep or eat? ”

"No, I can control the burning of the fighting energy with the excess energy. ”

Shen Mu was speechless. I had to change the topic again, "Lin Xue, when did you reach the martial artist?"

"I don't know, I was already a middle-level martial artist when I was about sixteen or seventeen years old, and I can't remember the memory before, I heard my father say that I used to live in a small fishing village near Linshui City, and then my father disappeared after sending me to the Saint Laurent Academy. ”

"Your father is so irresponsible, what about your mother?"

"My father said he was going to find my mother, and I hadn't seen my mother. ”

Shen Mu felt as if he had touched Lin Xue's sadness, and after apologizing, he stopped mentioning it, ready to further appease Lin Xue.

"Hehe, it doesn't matter, it's been so many years that I can't even remember my father's face. You don't have to feel guilty. Lin Xue did show an attitude of indifference. "Okay, when are we going back to the academy, you haven't handed over your mission yet. ”

"Oh, yes, I almost forgot if you didn't mention it. Shen Mu took out three Black Eagle Eggs from under the bed. "It's good that they're still there, hehe, let's go down for dinner, and go back to the academy early tomorrow morning." ”

"Xiaomu, aren't you afraid that the outer courtyard will trouble you first?" Lin Xue suddenly thought of something.

"Of course I'm not afraid, after he knew that you were my person, I would have run away a long time ago, and I didn't bother to duel with those so-called No. 1 in the outer courtyard. Shen Mu got up and pulled Lin Xue to go downstairs, but he didn't see Lin Xue's little face flushed a little after hearing what he just said.

"Lin Xue, Xiao Mu, you guys come down, come and sit down," Xiao You beckoned the two of them to sit down, and Li Meiniang was busy over there.

"Xiaoyou, haven't you had anything going on lately, are Guangkan and his party okay?" asked Shen Mu.

"Guang Tang has had a very smooth journey, after all, the hedgehog is a high-level martial artist, although he is a stuffy gourd, but he is meticulous in his work. Xiao You took out the communication spirit weapon from her pocket and raised it towards Shen Mu, meaning that she had this to keep communicating. But then he said, "But there is something wrong with Cangbei City." Xiaoyou's tone was obviously a little heavy.

"What's the problem?" Shen Mu asked, and Lin Xue also looked at it curiously.

"This beast tide lasted for four days, the longest in history, and six demon generals cooperated with the raging beast tide to launch a fierce attack, and the Eternal Night Mercenary Group suffered heavy losses this time. ”

"Why the Eternal Night Mercenary Regiment, what about the Sacred Flame Mercenary Regiment, aren't they the first?" Shen Mu was a little surprised.

"That's right, the headquarters of the Holy Flame Mercenary Regiment is mainly on the side of Huang Qiu City, and this side is not their main development area. However, the headquarters of the Eternal Night Mercenary Group was directly in Cangbei City, as the only S-class mercenary group east of the Gobi Mountains, they immediately entered the battle after seeing that there were six demon generals, and the deputy head of Huangyan rushed directly from Saint Laurent City to support. ”

"I remember that Leader Huang is the strength of a mid-level Martial Emperor, how could it become like this with him in charge?" Shen Mu suddenly thought of the amazing strength of Leader Huang of the Beast Tide last time.

"The problem is here, the Beast Tide went to Huangqiu City a week ago, and he hasn't returned yet, but he just replied to us that he had something important to discuss with the Holy Flame Leader. Although Xiao You was wearing a maid outfit, her serious tone made people feel that she was not joking, "It seems that there is probably a problem that is difficult to solve over there, and it is necessary to dispatch a strong man with the strength of the Martial Emperor." ”

"Xiaoyou, have you learned about the loss of Cangbei City this time?"

"The materials for defending the city were exhausted in three days, the Eternal Night Mercenary Regiment lost at least ten martial artists, and more than twenty warriors, and many of the rest of the small mercenary regiments were killed in battle, and now the pension collection office of the mercenary union branch in Cangbei City is overcrowded. Xiao You said that he was a little sad here, and seemed to recall something. "The city defense army lost more than half of the number of people in this beast tide, a full seven or eight hundred people died, most of them are just ordinary people, they have no ability to join the mercenary group, they can only retreat to join the city defense army to guard their own families, my father died in Cangbei City back then!"

When the girl said this, she was already in tears, and Shen Mu had no choice but to trot over and hug Xiao You, who was like a child at this time, leaning on Shen Mu's not strong chest and sobbing.

"Don't worry, Xiaoyu, Twilight Snow will be strong and will shoulder the burden of guarding everyone's families. Shen Mu spoke categorically at this time, clenching his fists.

Lin Xue also seemed well-behaved and sensible at the moment, hugging him from behind Shen Mu, although her tone was not strong, she revealed a strong confidence, "Xiao Mu, I will protect you." ”

At this time, Mei Niang had already prepared dinner, and greeted everyone in the kitchen, "Come and help serve the dishes, I'm ready." ”

"It's coming," Shen Mu responded, touched Xiao You's little head twice, and got up to leave.

"Leader, sit down, I'll serve the food," Xiao You saw Shen Mu leaving, leaving Lin Xue blinking her eyes at herself, a little embarrassed by her gaffe.

"Hmm," Lin Xue replied lightly with one hand.

The dinner of the mercenary group was as always, and Xiong San and the others took the lead in drinking and chatting, and the atmosphere was lively.

Early the next morning, Shen Mu and Lin Xue left the headquarters after eating early, and Shen Mu took Lin Xue to the headquarters of the God of Wealth Regiment to get some milk until it filled Lin Xue's dimensional space.

"Xiao Mu," Lin Xue took Shen Mu's hand.

"What's wrong, Lin Xue?" Shen Mu was a little surprised.

"It's nothing, I just think it's good to be with you. ”

"Fool!" Shen Mu rubbed Lin Xue's hair vigorously.

"Your hairstyle is messed up by you!" Lin Xue pretended to be angry.

"You're not long-haired, you can't mess it up, hehe,"

"You like long hair?" Lin Xue seemed to notice something.

"Ah, there's nothing I'm just talking about. Shen Mu pretended to reply leisurely, but in fact, he remembered another red-haired little Lori in his heart, I don't know how she is now, is she still practicing in the Cangbei Forest?

"Xiao Mu, are you listening to me?" Lin Xue found that Shen Mu was absent-minded.

"Yes, hehe, let's go, go to the academy early to say hello to Liu Ru, and then take the task and set off," Shen Mu said.

"Oh, let's go. Lin Xue said, as if thinking about something.

Shen Mu didn't notice it, and after the two walked a long way away, Lin Xue suddenly said again: "Xiao Mu, if you have someone you like, you must tell me, I can help you." After saying that, he smiled again.

"Lin Xue, what are you talking about, it's still early, I'm not even fifteen years old!" Shen Mu was rarely shy.

"It's not small, the local nobles have fathers at this age, hehe. ”

Shen Mu was speechless, so he had to stop talking.

Yves Saint Laurent Mission Pick-up Place.

After Shen Mu successfully submitted the task, he lost a Black Hawk egg and gained forty points.

"Lin Xue, there are still two Black Eagle Eggs, why don't you sell them in exchange for points?" Shen Mu suggested.

"Yes, I know where to sell it, you come with me," Lin Xue directly took Shen Mu's hand and walked towards the small commercial street where Zhang Peng took her last time.

"Lin Xue, it seems that you are more familiar than me, hehe. ”

"Of course, I'm going to have fun somewhere. Lin Xue was a little proud.

"Well, I thought of a good way, Lin Xue, why don't you help me sell it? I'll go shopping and see if there's anything good, hehe." Shen Mu obviously said the first half of the sentence was true, and the second half of the sentence was pulled out at random.

Lin Xue also understood. "Hmph, it seems that Xiaomu has also learned to cheat people, forget it, I'll betray Hue once. After speaking, Lin Xue found an open place and took out two eggs and put them on the ground, then found a stool to sit on, put her hands on her cheeks, and said with her eyes Shen Mu, you can go shopping.

There is Lin Xue selling things, Shen Mu is very happy, now he has to earn a lot of points, and he no longer hesitates, and goes shopping directly.

In fact, Shen Mu is not very interested in the things here, but even if he is interested, he can't afford to buy things. This time, it's mainly to see the situation of the academy, after all, as a student, it's rarely embarrassing to be asked about the situation of the academy.

"Brother Mu!" suddenly shouted in the distance. "Hey, Brother Mu, I'm here!"

Shen Mu finally found the source of the voice and walked over, "Yo, Wang Bin, what's the situation, be the boss, haha."

"How can it, hehe, Brother Mu, I just came back from the mission a few days ago, our team did a mission in the Gobi Mountains, killing sand scorpions, you see me, I have harvested a lot of sand scorpion stingers, which are materials for many pharmacists, so I set up a stall here." Wang Bin was clearly excited.

"Yes, the sand scorpion is still very difficult to deal with, just you and Su Qianqian?" Shen Mu has also seen the sand scorpion, and the ability to drill into the ground is very annoying.

"And Lin Tian and a few people, we have a good relationship now! And they are from Iron and Stone Town, they have all joined the Boulder Mercenary Group a long time ago, I am very envious, Lin Tian took me, Su Qianqian and Xiaomei to join the Boulder Mercenary Group. Wang Bin said with his eyebrows fluttering. "By the way, boss, are you interested, join in. ”

"I'll forget it, I'm used to doing solo missions. Shen Mu covered up.

"The boss is the boss, it's amazing. "Wang Bin is dogged, and he doesn't care if it's suitable or not. "We will continue to do the mission in the Gobi Mountains early tomorrow morning, the specific task has not yet been accepted, Lin Tian will come later, we need to evaluate the strength of the team before choosing the task, boss, why don't you come too?" Wang Bin looked forward to it.

Shen Mu's heart moved, thinking that it was also an experience anyway, and if he formed a team, he could take on slightly more difficult tasks, which did not conflict with Shen Mu's wishes, after all, although he could also experience in the Dusk Snow Mercenary Group, Shen Mu's Dou Qi cultivation was also stuck in a bottleneck, and he needed the academy's experience to break through.

"Okay, then I'll just wait here. Shen Mu simply agreed, patted Wang Bin's shoulder and sat down.
