But it didn't take long for the door of his room to be opened again, and Shen Mu, who naturally had his key, appeared, and the old man was not surprised, obviously this was not the first time.

"Old man, your story is about yourself, right? I remember you told me that your name is Cames, can you tell me about it? ”

"I didn't expect you to be smart, but this is a story I made up, do you believe it?" The old man laughed

"Of course I believe it, only a fool wouldn't believe it." Shen Mu rolled his eyes and said, but he thought in his heart, what is the difference between believing and not believing? And it won't shed a single hair.

"Hmph, it should be that only a fool would believe it, and play tricks on my old man, but thank you, I am willing to believe this story." The old man snorted angrily and said

Then the old man took off a lacquer pendant from his neck, took the young man's hand and said: "As a reward for believing in this story, this thing will be handed over to you for safekeeping, remember that except for you and me, I can't let the third person know, understand?" The old man said solemnly to the young man

"Haha, don't worry, me, aren't you still at ease? Only I can pit others, and others can't pit me. Shen Mu carefully hung the pendant around his neck, and hid it with his clothes before joking with the old man

"This is the precious stone you brought out of the underworld, right? It's so small, you can't be fooling me with something randomly, right? Shen Mu touched the pitch-black pendant and said

"Take good care of it, whether it is or not, it will be a gift from my old man, and you don't have to come to me again..."

A few days later, when the boy returned to the old man's house, he found that the old man had died.

.....

A few years later, a team of six young mercenaries marched through a small forest, six people and two pickup trucks commonly used by mercenaries.

"Wood, this is the first mission of our mercenary team since it was formed, be careful in everything, although it is just to catch a very ordinary elk, but be careful, since 15 years ago, these animals have become more and more powerful."

A slightly older white man with some beard on his lips admonished his team members in the car.

"Okay, captain, don't worry, we'll be careful, the beast is getting stronger, but I've heard that the strong men of our human race are also getting better." The boy nodded in response.

"Although what you said is not bad, just like me, I was originally an ordinary martial artist, but in the past few years, my martial arts have also made a lot of progress, but even so,

The mercenary team I was in was not extinguished, only I ran fast and escaped with my life. You know, our captain was a mid-level martial artist, and we were only performing general tasks at that time.

Who knew it would be against a mutated animal. The world seems to be undergoing great changes, so it's better for everyone to be cautious, and if you lose your life, you will have nothing. The captain said with palpitations

Three of the six people are young people who have just entered the society, Shen Mu, Quis, Namir (female), the captain's name is Meredith, he is a somewhat tall and strong guy, the former mercenary team is finished, and he himself brought some newcomers out to form a mercenary team by himself.

The other two also did some logistical work for the other mercenary teams, one was a little skinny yellow hairy named Syrt, and the other black guy called him Charcoal,

At this time, the vehicle passed through the grove and climbed over a hill to a plain: the Dickens Plains, which was close to the small town of Biansai, so there were no too fierce beasts, most of them were common deer, sheep, dogs, bison, lions, tigers, etc

It belongs to the range that ordinary warriors can deal with, so the active ones on this plain are some very weak mercenary organizations.

Coming to the plain, after the captain Meredith assigned the task, Shen Mu was excited to set up a trap, this trap was arranged in front of the deer, when there are lions, tigers and other carnivores to chase the elk, these elk will enter the trap by themselves, so this task is a very ordinary and ordinary small task.

Nothing happened on the first day, everyone was busy with their own affairs, and after having dinner together, they arranged the order of night duty, and then they rested and moved freely, and at this time it was almost dark at dusk

The setting sun sank to the end of the grassland, dyeing a small cloud yellow, and all kinds of animals calmed the noise of the day, and there was silence under the dark sky.

Shen Mu was out of the city for the first time, and it was the first time he came to the grassland, and he saw the survival posture of these animals, and the emptiness and tranquility of the wilderness brought him a different experience.

The next morning, sure enough, the carnivores began to hunt early in the morning, but the only one who preyed on the elk was a male lion, and under his pursuit, sure enough, two elk were caught in the trap.

These two elk are obviously not the target of the lion, they just need to wait for the lion to pass, and then they can go and collect the prey.

The lion also lived up to expectations and pounced on a stag and began to eat on the spot. The lion was agile in its predation, and it took only seven or eight seconds from the time it pounced on the grass to the time it pounced on its prey. The total distance is no more than 200 meters, and you must know that the deer on the grassland are very capable of running.

"Captain, is the lion hunting alone? No, and this lion seems to be a little too powerful," Namir asked Namir, who was holding a telescope in the grass, a little strangely

"Yes, ordinary lions should be hunted together in a family style, unless this is a lone lion without a family, of course, no matter what kind of result is not bad, as long as he is full and walks away, we will go and collect the prey." Captain Meredith said

Half an hour later, the well-fed lion slowly walked towards a grove with the remaining prey in its mouth. When the mercenary team saw this, they stood up and walked towards their prey.

The two deer also fled in the direction of the grove, and at this time the distance from the grove was only about a hundred meters, and several people tied up the two deer with their hands and feet, and walked back with them, and everyone felt relaxed for a while.

A small task like this is as if it is not difficult to come out to play a tour, and Shen Mu, who was walking, suddenly felt that something seemed to be approaching behind him.

When I turned around, I found that the lion was approaching at high speed at this time, and it was almost behind his buttocks, so I didn't have time to do other actions, so I threw the wooden stick carrying the deer, protected my head with both hands, and squatted slightly.

"Whew!!" The male lion pounced directly, Shen Mu was instantly numb by the roar, only to feel that his head was in pain as if he had been hit hard by a hammer, and then he was pounced on by the male lion,

The lion's paw pressed against his chest, and the claw had popped out, and with one claw he grabbed the clothes and the flesh of his chest, and bit him down with his head.

Fortunately, the captain Meredith reacted in time, and stabbed the lion with a knife, and the lion was focused on Shen Mu, so the knife stabbed to the end smoothly, directly piercing the lion's neck

After eating this sturdy knife, the male lion fell to the side weakly, his mouth fell crooked one centimeter in front of Shen Mu, and the lion was drenched in Shen Mu's blood

At this time, Shen Mu's pupils on the ground shrank sharply, his face was pale, his chest was bleeding nonstop, and his mind was in a state of shutdown, if he didn't still breathe, he would be no different from a dead man.

Everyone hurriedly helped him bandage it, but because the injury was on the chest, it was very troublesome to bandage, and he had to go back to the city and go to the hospital.

On the way back, everyone was not happy because there was one more prey, everyone was full of depression, they didn't expect that there was a problem with the first small task, and this was obviously the loss caused by the sudden attack of this male lion.

An ordinary lion has changed its habits, but what about a more powerful animal? I can't think about this question, it seems that the mercenary profession is no longer suitable for those of them who can only do three-legged cat kung fu.

Unlike everyone's depression, Shen Mu, who was lying in the back seat, was full of messy things in his mind at this time
