The ore vein Xiao Mo was still where the demon beast was being held, and he faintly felt that there was an unusual aura here. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

As his feelings moved forward, Xiao Mo finally discovered the source of that unusual aura.

It was a large shadow leopard, lying limply in a huge iron cage, and under it was a pool of bright red blood, its dark black fur had lost its luster and suppleness, and its eyes were gloomy.

Xiao Mo's eyes were firmly fixed on the Shadow Leopard's arms, where there was a baby Shadow Leopard that had just been born.

The little shadow leopard's fur is not dark black, but a faint silvery-white.

When it was born, its eyes had not yet opened, and it curled up in the arms of the female shadow leopard, which looked like it gave people a cute feeling.

The mother shadow leopard looked at Xiao Mo with gloomy eyes, and Xiao Mo saw the begging in its eyes, it was a mother's begging for her child.

Looking at this scene, an indescribable emotion surged in Xiao Mo's heart. In his previous life, he was an orphan and had never experienced the warmth of family affection, and the scene in front of him made him feel strongly shocked.

Xiao Mo slashed open the door of the iron cage with a sword and walked in, looked directly into the eyes of the mother shadow leopard, and said in a low voice, "I will take care of it." ”

I don't know if the mother shadow leopard understood what Xiao Mo said, or read Xiao Mo's meaning from Xiao Mo's eyes. lowered his head, arched the little shadow leopard in his arms with his head, and then closed his eyes in reassurance.

Xiao Mo squatted down and picked up the little shadow leopard, with a rare trace of warmth in his eyes, and said softly: "You are also an orphan, let me take care of you in the future." ”

Holding the little shadow leopard in his left hand, Xiao Mo, who walked out of the demon beast detention place, looked at the guards, slaves, and demon beasts who were fighting together in the Colosseum, and rushed forward with the Yilong Sword in his right hand.

With Xiao Mo's current strength, it would be easy to kill all the people and demon beasts here. He rushed straight towards the gap, and the guards and demon beasts in front of him were all slashed by him with a single sword, and he couldn't slow down his speed at all.

Those slaves looked at Xiao Mo who rushed towards the gap, and they didn't need anyone to organize, they all spontaneously followed behind Xiao Mo.

It didn't take long for Xiao Mo to rush out of the Colosseum through the gap, and there were only ten slaves behind him, and all the rest remained in the Colosseum forever.

Xiao Mo turned around and looked at the guards and demon beasts who were still entangled, and a blasting talisman was struck.

"Boom!"

The sky was full of fire and smoke.

"Come with me. ”

Xiao Mo glanced at the trembling slave standing aside and spoke.

From the time Xiao Mo played the first blasting charm to the end of the second blasting charm, the time was only a few tens of breaths.

After taking ten slaves into the woods next to the Colosseum, and after advancing for about ten minutes, Xiao Mo found Shi Yi, who he had arranged here.

"You've all seen him. Xiao Mo pointed at Shi Yi and said to the slaves, "I will use a talisman to cover up the slave marks on your body, but this is only temporary, if you want to completely get rid of the slave status, follow him for me and listen to his command." ”

The slaves who have seen Xiao Mo's strength, where dare to oppose it, not to mention that they also heard the meaning of Xiao Mo's words, if they serve him well, they will have the opportunity to completely eliminate the mark of slaves and get rid of slave status in the future.

Seeing that no one objected, Xiao Mo nodded with satisfaction. Then he took out nine hidden qi charms and shot them at the slaves one by one, leaving only a bald man standing in place.

The bald man is the strongest of all the slaves and can be a good helper.

Xiao Mo took out another purification talisman and hit it at the bald man.

"Your slave mark has been completely erased by me, and you will be the deputy leader from now on. Xiao Mo said to the bald man.

Hearing Xiao Mo's words, the bald man was ecstatic, and the rest of the slaves also looked at him with envy. Then the envy in their eyes turned into firmness, and they secretly made up their minds that they must serve Xiao Mo well and strive to completely eliminate the mark of slavery as soon as possible.

"Shi Yi, you take them to Qingjiang City, and when the matter of Lingfeng City is over, I will go to you again. Saying that, Xiao Mo handed over the remaining hidden qi talisman to Shi Yi.

"Yes, sir!" At night, a group of people disappeared in the woods.

When Xiao Mo returned to the inn, the sky was already white, and it was already dawn.

The next day, the news of the attack on the Colosseum quickly spread through the streets and alleys of Ridge Wind City.

In the hall of the Su Mansion, Su Yang immediately said after hearing the news: "Su Mu, you are looking for someone to spread the news, just say that the Chen family attacked the Colosseum with a grudge because they lost the control of the Colosseum to our Su family." ”

In the afternoon of the same day, the news of the Chen family's attack on the Colosseum began to spread, and for a while, the Chen family's prestige in Lingfeng City plummeted.

"Su Yang, my Chen family and you are incompatible!" Chen Qiu listened to the butler's report, his eyes were full of anger, "And that damn mercenary, I will definitely break you into ten thousand pieces!"

The initiator, Xiao Mo, was not suspected at all, and when he heard that the Chen family carried the black cauldron for him, a faint smile curled into the corner of Xiao Mo's mouth, and everything was under control.

"Dang dang dang", there was a knock on the door.

"Thorn Shadow, come here. Xiao Mo said to the little shadow leopard rolling on the bed.

Shadow is the name that Xiao Mo gave to the little shadow leopard. This is the third day that Xiao Mo has adopted this little guy, and this morning the little guy opened his eyes, because the first thing he saw was Xiao Mo, so he was very affectionate to Xiao Mo.

Thorn Shadow's fur was obviously different from that of an ordinary Shadow Leopard, and coupled with the unusual aura that Xiao Mo had felt from it when it was born before, Xiao Mo deduced that Thorn Shadow was probably a mutated demon beast.

Thorn Shadow staggered up from the bed and slowly crawled into Xiao Mo's arms step by step.

Xiao Mo picked up the thorn shadow, opened the door, looked at Tang Jin standing outside the door, and asked suspiciously, "Brother Tang Jin, I don't know what to do with me?"

"You come with me first, it's a big deal, you'll find out later. Tang Jin grabbed Xiao Mo and walked outside with a roar.

Sword and weapon shop, in the hall of the backyard, Su Yang and Tang Cheng were sitting there, their faces looking very serious.

Seeing Tang Jin and Xiao Mo coming in, the two of them first glanced at the thorny shadow lying in Xiao Mo's arms strangely, but immediately put this matter behind them.

Tang Cheng said: "Jin'er, close the door." ”

Xiao Mo didn't speak, just looked at Tang Cheng and Su Yang suspiciously, he could feel the solemn atmosphere, waiting for the two of them to explain for him.

"Amer, we came to you because we believe in you, and what we are going to talk about next is very important, and you must not leak it out. Tang Cheng looked at Xiao Mo seriously and said.

"Uncle Tang, you have something to say. Xiao Mo nodded understandingly.

"The Su family discovered a vein in Chamoling in the north of Lingfeng City two days ago. ”

"Vein?" Xiao Mo let out a low exhalation in surprise.

"Yes, veins. And it's a precious vein of energy!" Even if he was the head of the Su family, he couldn't hide the excitement in his heart.

"Energy Vein!"

This time, Xiao Mo was completely taken aback. The importance of energy is undeniable in any world, in any era.

The ore in the energy vein is called the source stone, so it is also called the source stone vein. There are many uses for source stones, but the most used are the two types of people, rune masters and forges, because the power of runes needs source stones to activate.

The energy of the runes mainly comes from the free energy between heaven and earth, but other energy sources are needed to activate the free energy between heaven and earth.

If the rune is compared to a circuit, and the free energy is the energy source, then the source stone is the switch! Of course, the source stone is not the only switch, and the internal energy can also be used as a switch. However, in some aspects, the usefulness of the source stone cannot be replaced by internal strength.

This was also the biggest reason why Su Yang immediately came to the sword weapon shop to discuss with Tang Cheng after learning the news.

"However, the reserves of this source stone vein have not yet been discovered, but even so, once this news leaks out, it will definitely cause the Ling family and the Chen family to covet it. When the time comes, a big war between the four major families is absolutely inevitable. ”

"To prevent this from happening, we can only find trustworthy people, so we decided to turn to you for help. Su Yang said with a serious face.

"Looking for my help?" Xiao Mo couldn't think of anything he could do to help.

"Yes, the Su family and the Talisman Forger Guild can't transfer people in large numbers, otherwise the Ling family and the Chen family will definitely be suspicious. Tang Cheng said in a deep voice.

"It's not that you're going to explore the veins, it's for you to escort the prospectors sent out by the Charmsmith's Guild. The mountains of Chamoling are high and dense, and there are many demon soldiers and demon beasts at the level of demon generals living in it. Prospectors generally have no cultivation, so someone must protect them. We've thought about it for a long time, and we think that only you are the best suited for this task. Su Yang finally said the purpose of finding Xiao Mo.

Xiao Mo lowered his head, quickly weighed the pros and cons, and after a long while, he raised his head and said, "Okay, I agreed, when will I leave?"

"Without further ado, set off immediately, Tang Jin will go with you. Su Yang said.

To the north of Lingfeng City, there is a winding mountain range, and Chamo Ridge belongs to a high mountain on the periphery of it. At an altitude of 3,450 meters above sea level, the entire mountain is covered with various trees and plants, making it a paradise for low-level demon beasts.

Xiao Mo and Tang Cheng escorted two prospectors from the Forge Master Guild, plus the disciples of the Su family who discovered the ore vein, and the group of five people officially stepped into the range of Chamoling.

The sunlight shone through the gaps between the dense leaves, and Xiao Mo walked in front of the group, holding a machete in his hand, wielding it from time to time to clear the plants that stood in his way.

"Amer, it's getting late, we should find a place to camp. Tang Cheng said to Xiao Mo.

Xiao Mo nodded, stopped, and looked at the Su family disciple named Su Yi who was traveling with him.

Su Yi immediately replied, "I know that there is a place not far ahead that is more suitable for camping. ”

Su Yi, a disciple of the younger generation of the Su family, is twenty-three years old, a low-level imperial master cultivator, and has rich experience in survival in the wild. The source stone vein was the one he accidentally discovered when he entered the Chamo Mountains to hunt demon beasts.

Under the leadership of Su Yi, the group found a place to set up camp.

"I'm going hunting. Xiao Mo said to everyone, and then ran out with the thorn shadow.
