The following days were unexpectedly calm for Xiao Liu, and the bearded gang never came to make trouble again.

The small courtyard was cleaned by Xiao Liu and Xiao Yu together, and it was restored to its original appearance.

What made Xiaoliu even more surprised was the fact that Xiaoyu would make a good dish.

Originally, he thought that Xiao Yu must have been the kind of delicate girl who didn't know anything before, but when this Xiao Nizi made a simple but delicious meal for Xiao Liu, he realized that when Luo Jin was alive before, Luo Yu was responsible for cooking at home.

In addition, Luo Yu also has some kung fu, but compared to the mercenaries who lick blood from the knife edge, she is just a rookie who has never had actual combat experience.

Therefore, Xiao Liu will also pull her in her spare time and simulate a few battles with her, so as to enhance this girl's courage and self-preservation ability.

In the blink of an eye, a month passed in a hurry, and Xiao Liu understood the artistic conception of Hongquan in Mo Wu's illusion, and the rest needed to be practiced diligently in the real world to be able to figure it out.

And Xiao Liu's strength has also made significant progress, and now he has a preliminary understanding of cultivation, macro boxing is a kind of boxing method that lays the foundation, mainly used to improve the basic quality of the body, as well as expand the muscles and veins in the body, and prepare for entering the fairyland.

When the Hongquan cultivation reached the peak, it was actually equivalent to completing the cultivation of the ninefold body forging realm.

Hongquan was taught to him by Uncle Kui in the illusion realm, and it is different from the ninefold basic cultivation method of forging the body in the outside world, according to Mo Wu's analysis, this set of macroquan should be a rare kind of boxing method that can cultivate the forging body realm to the extreme.

After forging the body realm, he needs more advanced exercises to re-learn, and for this, Mo Wu can provide the "Illusion Demon Heavenly Codex" that he has studied before.

This set of exercises is a special exercise for tapirs, and normally humans cannot cultivate, but Xiao Liu's situation is a bit special, his divine soul is fused with Mo Wu, and it can be said that he is half a tapir.

The other aspects of this set of "Illusory Demon Heavenly Codex" are not much different from ordinary exercises, the only difference is that when cultivating this exercise created for tapirs, the power of the divine soul can be tempered at the same time, which can be said to be its biggest advantage.

Xiao Liu, who didn't know much about the power of the divine soul, didn't know what benefits he could bring to himself by refining the divine soul, but since it was something given by the fifth brother, he naturally accepted it gladly, and he had no better choice.

"Boy, the only problem you have now is that you don't have a suitable combat skill for you to cultivate. We tapirs are a race that majors in divine souls, so there are not many combat skills in our clan, and none of the few combat skills are suitable for you to cultivate. So you'll have to find a way to practice your own combat skills. ”

Mo Wu helped himself so much, and Xiao Liu also knew that he was not omnipotent, so he just secretly kept this matter in his heart, and when he had the opportunity, he would find a suitable combat skill to cultivate.

When Xiao Liu and Xiao Yu were living a peaceful life, a few people came to visit one day, these people were none other than the team members who had followed Luo Jin to the forest in the southern mountains that day to carry out a mission, and finally escaped with their lives!

"Why are you here late at night?"

Xiao Liu looked at the sky and didn't understand what these people were doing in the middle of the night.

He was answered by a middle-aged man standing closest to him, who seemed to have an unspeakable expression

"That...... Little Sixth Brother, we are all members of the original Third Brigade, and we are Captain Luo Jin's subordinates, we are here today to apologize to you and Miss Luo Yu......"

Luo Yu already knew a few of these people, and after hearing this, she lowered her head and didn't know what she was thinking, while Xiao Liu showed a sudden expression

"It turned out to be you, if you have something to say, let's talk to Xiaoyu, I'll go out and avoid it. ”

Xiao Liu said that he was about to go out, but Luo Yu immediately stretched out a white and tender little hand and grabbed the corner of his clothes, and the person who opened his mouth also hurriedly said after seeing this

"Little Sixth Brother, you don't have to avoid anything, we are here today for another purpose, just to thank you for saving Miss Xiaoyu. We already knew what Zhang Dabeard was doing, but we didn't dare to speak out against it, we were all too selfish......"

At this point, all of these people bowed their heads in shame.

"Xiaoyu, do you blame them?"

Seeing this, Xiao Liu didn't answer, but turned to look at Luo Yu and asked.

"I ...... I don't blame you, it's all over, Zhang is so bad, you should be afraid of him......"

Luo Yu knew that she had to say something, she timidly pulled the corner of Xiao Liu's clothes and said to the group of big men.

"Little Jade girl, thank you for your generosity. In order to cover our escape, the captain chose to lure the monster away alone, but we did not stand up to protect you when you were suffering...... In the past few days, my brothers have been condemned by their conscience, and they want to find an opportunity to apologize to you. Now that we can get your forgiveness, we are a little more steady. Oh, by the way, my name is Geng Zhong, and if I encounter any difficulties in the future, I will definitely not back down!"

As Geng Zhong expressed his position, the remaining few people also opened their mouths to express their attitudes.

Xiao Liu knew in his heart that the reason why this group of people chose the time of the night was probably because he was worried that they would be discovered by the bearded people and retaliate afterwards, so he didn't expect these people to really be able to help him and Luo Yu anything, so he spoke

"You don't have to be like this, everyone will be brothers in the future, maybe we will have to go on a mission together, and then you will have to give me more guidance as a newcomer!"

"By the way, we are here mainly to tell you that the regimental commander has already received a task entrusted by a person, and it is likely that someone will be assigned to carry it out tomorrow. This time, I heard that I was going to the Youquan Forest to find something! You have to be mentally prepared, don't be secretly calculated by the beard!"

Geng Zhong's words made Xiao Liu's eyes condense, is this kind of peaceful day finally coming to an end?!

After sending away these mercenaries from the original Second Brigade, Xiao Liu had a new plan in his heart

"I think these people still have some real feelings for Uncle Luo Jin, if I have a certain status and right to speak here, I might as well win it over. As long as I can form a circle of my own, then even after I leave, Luo Yu will be enough to gain a foothold here!"

There was nothing to say all night, and when Xiao Liu woke up the next day, he received a notice from the person sent by Shi Song, asking him to go to the council hall and say that there was action.

Before leaving, Luo Yu sorted out some food and drink for him with a worried face, like a little daughter-in-law who sent you on the expedition, Xiao Liu smiled when he saw this

"Don't worry, wait for me to come back"

Luo Yu squeezed out a smile when he heard this

"Little sixth brother, you have to be careful, don't have an accident, I only have you to rely on now"

After appeasing the little girl for a while, Xiao Liu walked away and walked towards the council hall.

After living here for a month, Xiao Liu had already figured out the architectural layout inside the mercenary group, and the head of the group, Shi Song, lived in a courtyard due north, in addition to him, the original iron-blooded mercenary group also had three captains, namely Zhang Kui, the bearded Zhang Kui, Luo Jin, and a person nicknamed the Iron Hand Judge named Li Tie.

Xiao Liu rarely went out before, so Li Tie never ran into it.

Soon, Xiao Liu walked into the spacious conference hall, and there were already many people sitting in it, in addition to Shi Song, Zhang Dabeard, and a few middle-aged and young people who had experienced a hundred battles at a glance, there was also an unfamiliar face.

This person has dark skin, a big bald head emits a black iron-like light, and his hands crossed around his chest are covered with calluses, Xiao Liu instantly understood the identity of this person, it is the iron-handed judge Li Tie who has never been seen before.

When Xiao Liu walked in, Shi Song smiled, and the murderous intent in his bearded eyes loomed, and Li Tie didn't look back.

From everyone's reactions, Xiao Liu probably figured out what these people were thinking.

"Captain, I'm sorry to be late, Luo Yu prepared some things for me to bring. ”

Saying that, Xiao Liu found a vacant seat and sat down, but at this time, the bearded man opened his mouth

"Commander, didn't you call a few of our captains and vice-captains to come over and assign tasks? This little six is just a member of our second team, why don't I remember when he became the vice-captain of our team? Boy, there is no seat for you here, you better stay cool!"

Zhang's bearded ear has been connected by someone, but it has left a hateful scar, he can't wait to kill Xiao Liu, the culprit, immediately, but in this mercenary group, there is no legitimate reason, and he doesn't dare to mess around.

At this time, when he saw that Shi Song had called him at a meeting that only the captains were qualified to attend, he immediately became angry.

But Xiao Liu didn't react at all when he heard this, as if he hadn't heard anyone talking at all.

"Zhang Kui, you don't have to be excited, Xiao Liu was personally approved by me to join the team, I don't know what his identity is? The reason why I called him here this time is because he has never been on a mission since he joined our iron-blooded mercenary group, and he is asked to come so that he can have a long experience, don't miss the right thing. If you don't think he's fit for this mission, can I let him go back and rest?"

Shi Song knew very well in his heart that Zhang Dabeard would never let Xiao Liu go back to rest, otherwise where would he have the opportunity to get rid of this obstructive thorn in his side?

Sure enough, Zhang Dabeard immediately became dumbfounded when he heard this, but he snorted angrily and stopped talking.

And Xiao Liu seemed to have expected all this, and sat in his place without saying a word.

His attitude aroused some people's ideas, and for the first time, the iron-handed judge turned his dark head and looked at Xiao Liu, as if he wanted to see through what this young man was thinking.

"Okay, now that the people are here, let's stop talking nonsense. This mission was dangerous, and I decided to lead the team myself, and the client asked us to go to the Youquan Forest to find a plant called 'Dream Eater'. The price they offered was high, so I thought it was worth it!"

When Shi Song said the goal of this mission, Mo Wu in Xiao Liu's mind suddenly burst out in surprise

"Dream Eater, who would have commissioned this to find this thing?......"
