Chapter 41: The Battle of the Rock Beasts
Early the next morning.
Shen Mu still got up early, and there was really only Hu Mei cooking breakfast in the kitchen downstairs, and after saying hello, Shen Mu went directly to the top floor, Lin Xue's room.
"Lin Xue, get ready to get up for breakfast. Shen Mu politely knocked on the door, but found that the door was not locked.
"Oh, Xiaomu, come in. A slightly lazy voice came from inside.
Shen Mu was not polite, and went straight to the door, "Lin Xue, you've gotten up!"
"yes, you can see that. Lin Xue was lying on the bed with her clothes on, not knowing what she was fiddling with.
"Well, you're dressed in bed, and a fool can see how well you're getting up. Shen Mu was speechless.
"Hehe, Xiaomu, come here, I'll give you a good thing. Lin Xue beckoned to Shen Mu on the bed and said.
Shen Mu didn't doubt him, so he just walked over and sat on the bed honestly and unceremoniously.
"Xiaomu, you put away this box, the martial arts box I bought last time. I have stored a small martial art in it, a small mantian. If you encounter a group of low-level demon beasts, you can use it, and you can activate it by infusing it with fighting energy and living mana. ”
"And this kind of good stuff. I'm afraid it's going to cost a lot of money, right?"
"No, the martial arts box is very cheap, mainly because it is difficult to store martial arts, and you need my strength to do it. ”
Shen Mu suddenly understood. This is actually a kind of skill work to control the fighting spirit.
"Xiao Mu, you must get the Earth Spirit Fruit, it's very good for you. ”
"Then I won't be able to use it until I enter the spirit master, and it will be a long time. By the way, Lin Xue, do you have any other good things in your dimensional space? Shen Mu seemed curious about this ability.
"Then see for yourself," Lin Xue didn't hide it either, and slowly waved her hand to tear the void.
"This release speed is too slow, and it can't be used against the enemy," Shen Mu also found a shortcoming.
"I need to use it now because my cultivation is suppressed, but at the peak, I can take the contents around my body with a single thought. ”
"Awesome, let me see what's inside?" Shen Mu looked at the crack curiously. "It's a cabinet in there, I thought it was pitch black. ”
"This is already the space that I have opened up with all my strength, it is only so big, I heard that those high-level martial emperors can open up the space to the size of Saint Laurent City, I don't know if it is true or not. ”
Shen Mu looked at the small cabinet in the space, there were only a few books and some picture scrolls, as well as a few bottles of milk. "You have this book too. ”
"Hehe, otherwise how can I cook. Alright, almost, let's go down. Lin Xue unexpectedly had some beads of sweat overflowing from her head. Seeing this, Shen Mu hurriedly asked her to close the space.
"Lin Xue, you consume a lot. Feel like you can take a break. Shen Mu regretted his curiosity a little.
"Hmm. You can help me get my shoes, you kicked me under the bed. ”
"Oh. Shen Mu was speechless, Lin Xue's focus was completely different from his. Then he thought of something and said: "By the way, Lin Xue, it is estimated that our trip will not be back in three days at the earliest, why don't you go back to Yves Saint Laurent Academy first, and find Liu Ru and ask her to help you suppress your injuries." ”
"Well, I'll take care of myself. ”
"And don't cause trouble. Shen Mu stared at the beautiful face in front of him and reminded him emphatically.
"Hee-hee, I didn't cause trouble, let's go. Lin Xue smiled playfully, put on her little leather shoes and went downstairs.
Everyone finished breakfast together and waved goodbye to each other.
"Lin Xue, I'm leaving, you take care of yourself. Shen Mu said goodbye at the end, he found that it seemed that since he met Lin Xue until now, they had almost never separated, and at this time they suddenly had to separate, and his heart felt a little different, but there was no way, Lin Xue couldn't leave Yves Saint Laurent Academy for too long, and couldn't leave Liu Ru for too long.
"Hmm. Lin Xue stood in front of everyone, dressed in white, and waved her hand at Shen Mu.
Shen Mu and the six people still rented a carriage and walked to the Gobi Mountains after traveling to Tieshi Town. Two hours after entering the mountains, the sky began to darken.
"Let's find a sheltered mountain wall and set up camp, the Gobi Mountains at night are not peaceful, this side is the periphery, there will still be some poisonous insects, don't stop the bonfire at night. "The flying squirrel arrived quickly.
Without delay, the three of them took turns to keep vigil and then set up camp for dinner.
One night was safe and the next day went.
"Today we will spend most of the day going to the sand scorpion lair, from there to the lair of the rock beast, because the sand scorpion lair is also an underground cave, so there is not much difference between our actions during the day and at night, if we are lucky, we can rush back to Saint Laurent City on the third night, everyone always pay attention to the poisonous insects. The flying squirrel continued to arrange.
The Gobi Mountains are actually only the periphery of the Gobi, the altitude in the depths is very high, and they are all composed of loess and deserts, among which there are many high-level demon beasts, and the task of crossing the Gobi Mountains has so far been out of the S-level mercenary group, and no one dares to take it.
"Brother Flying Squirrel, I heard in the academy that among the three major academies, Huangqiu Academy is on the other side of the Gobi Mountains, right?" Shen Mu asked curiously as he hurried along.
"Yes, the Gobi Mountains divide one-third of the Cangnan Continent, and the mountains are expanding every year, no one knows why. The flying squirrel replied.
"What?," Shen Mu was a little surprised.
"How can it be alive, even the ancient divine beast giant perch is not so huge, not to mention that the giant perch still exists in the endless sea. At present, the two trips between the mountains mainly rely on the teleportation circle, unless it is a particularly large caravan, which cannot be transported by the teleportation circle, and can only cross the mountain range.
"Brother Mu, I heard that the God of Wealth Regiment has this kind of caravan two or three times a year, and they are all personally escorted by the leader of the Eternal Night Mercenary Group, and the pomp and circumstance are really huge. Xiongzi said at this time.
"Then in case the teleportation array can't run, that means that the mountain range will be completely cut off twice?" Shen Mu suddenly asked at this time.
"This. That's probably it, after all, hundreds of thousands of years ago, the scale of the mountain range was about half smaller, and the difficulty of crossing was very low, and there were not as many demon beasts in it as there are now. The flying squirrel replied.
Halfway through the afternoon, everyone finally came to the sand scorpion lair, which was actually close to the desert terrain, and the loess on the ground was already extremely loose, as if something would pop up at any moment.
"Everyone pay attention to the sand scorpions that will come out and hurt people at any time under your feet, try not to sting on your back, it will be poisoned, although the healing technique has an effect on this low-level toxin, but Xiao Mu's magic power is precious. "Everyone is also an old mercenary, knowing that spirits and warriors are different, warriors can rely on physical fitness and combat skills to attack after they don't have fighting spirit, but although the spirits have great spell power and special effects, they basically have no combat power after the magic power is consumed.
The three of Xiongzi took out their shields to protect Shen Mu, and after the swallow broke, the flying squirrel looked for the mark left last time and walked all the way forward.
Although the opponent said that the low-level demon beast, but it is still not easy to deal with, the position that appeared is elusive, everyone spent more than three hours according to the expectation and finally came to the depths of the sand scorpion lair, the sand scorpion level here is slightly higher, but even if the sand scorpion leader is only a middle-level low-level demon beast, it has no effect except for the large number, and the two high-level martial artists and three middle-level martial artists in the team came to the depths that the flying squirrel said, outside the cave of the demon general rock beast.
Since they were going to face a big battle next, it was more appropriate for everyone to stop and recuperate and take action.
"I will fight later, Yanzi and I are responsible for the main attack, Yanzi has a snow shadow, the attack should be able to penetrate the defense of the rock beast, I am responsible for interference, Xiongzi, you and Fat San pay attention to be sure to fight the rock beast head-on to attract their attack power, Niu Si, you must protect Xiao Mu inch by inch, with him is the bargaining chip for us to dare to fight the enemy head-on." The flying squirrel quickly arranged the task for everyone, and everyone began to act after no objection.
After the team walked through for more than ten minutes, the eyes were bright, and the scenery in front of them was a natural grotto, very huge, and the two rock beasts were seen by everyone at a glance.
"Up, I'm on the left and you're on the right. After saying hello to the others, Xiong Zi took out a mountain shield and burst out with blood-colored fighting spirit, and rushed forward directly.
Fat San followed, and his blood-colored fighting spirit also exploded, and he rushed forward with a small shield.
"Swallow, let's deal with the fat three's rock beast first, and the bear's side can withstand it for a while. Flying Squirrel said.
"Leave it to me!" The moment the swallow pulled out the snow shadow, the green fighting energy surrounded the whole body, and the snow shadow was also surrounded by fighting energy, making a buzzing sound. "Kill!" the swallow snorted and suddenly disappeared in place.
Although the flying squirrel is good at physical skills, his long-lasting burst speed can't be exaggerated as disappearing on the spot.
"Bang," there was a loud bang, followed by the wailing of the fat three, "This beast is too fierce, I'm afraid that no one can carry it, and I almost vomited blood." ”
"Wind Shadow!" Suddenly, a figure appeared behind the rock beast, and with a green fighting wind shadow striking out, half of the back of the rock beast was actually slashed off a large piece of stone skin, "Afterimage!" The swallow attacked continuously, the sword light turned into a thorn, and the afterimage sword technique was quickly released.
"Bang," there was another loud bang, and the afterimage was blocked by the rock beast's side with its arm.
"How is it possible," the flying squirrel looked at it incredulously, and the rock beast's hands were obviously blasting in front of him.
"Be careful!" Swallow appeared next to the flying squirrel and pushed the flying squirrel away, and at the same time as the flying squirrel was knocked away, it was actually a Iwate in the previous position.
"The rock beast has four arms, you should be careful!" Shen Mu knew that the few people in the battle must not have seen clearly, the rock beast was huge after all, but he could see it clearly when he stood far away.
"No, I can't stand it, fat man," the fat three's shield was deformed by the hammer, and the whole person flew out upside down.
"Healing Technique!" Shen Mu directly treated Fat San, "Holy Light Bullet!" Another small light bullet was casually shot.
"Xiao Mu, you can't do this holy light bullet, it's just a beginner, I heard that the archbishop can shoot thousands of holy light bullets at once. Swallow teased while helping Fat San attract the attention of the rock beast.
"Brother Mu, thank you, Yanzi, you are my goddess, I will help you. After the fat three rolled to the ground, a carp stiffened up, and rushed up again to take the hatred of the rock beast.
"Come on, little fat man!" Swallow actually had time to reply to Fat San's words.
"Okay!" Fat San seemed to have received the signal from the goddess, and he was brave enough to avoid the attack of the rock beast in a few clicks.
"I said that you guys should hurry up over there, it's been more than ten minutes, and I can't bear it here, and my right hand is almost numb. "On the other side, although the bear who was carrying the rock beast to attack was not less taken care of by Shen Mu, he was still beaten to the ground.
The flying squirrel's dagger could hardly cause damage to the rock beast, and after hearing Xiongzi's call for help, he did not hesitate and went to the other side to assist Xiongzi.
