"Hello, Stone!"

Shen Mu smiled and looked at Shen Shi with a shocked face, although this childhood playmate of the former body has changed a lot compared to his memory, but his face still retains some childhood features.

And his nickname is Stone, and the younger generation who can still recognize him is no one else except Shen Shi.

The other party was still shocked, hesitated, and slowly walked to Shen Mu's side, constantly looking him up and down, refusing to let go of a detail.

"You, are you really Shen Mu?"

Shen Shi's eyes were slightly red, and he looked at the person in front of him in disbelief. Except for those eyes, Shen Mu was still the same as when he was a child, and his immature face had hardly changed.

"If it's fake...... Stone, long time no see! ”

Shen Mu walked over to Shen Shi and patted him on the shoulder.

"Well, really, long time no see."

Shen Shi still had a lot of questions to ask in his heart, but when the words came to his mouth, his throat felt like it had been scalded by boiling water, and he couldn't say a word for a long time, so he could only open his mouth dryly, and at the same time try to keep himself from blinking.

When a few people on the side saw their big brother's gaffe, they were also stunned in place.

Only the rather eccentric girl, Shen Miao, walked between Shen Mu and Shen Shi, and looked at Shen Mu with adoration on her face, "So, you are the legendary Shen Mu?" ”

At this time, the girl was a little clever and immediately sorted out the current situation.

"The legendary Shen Mu?"

Shen Mu looked at the girl, very puzzled by this strange statement, and then said, "Shen Mu, is your name, if you want to call Shen Mu brother, I am the biggest among all the people present." ”

In order to cover up Shen Shi's embarrassment, Shen Mu immediately pushed the girl aside, so that she could not see Shen Shi's ugly appearance of trying not to cry, and at the same time pretended to be fierce and gently knocked on the girl's head a few times.

As a human being in two lives, this ability to adapt to changes is still necessary.

"Where did I think you came from, an old man, who has rejuvenated yourself?"

Compared with the other three people, Shen Miao didn't recognize his life, and he no longer had a senior, and even began to be unkind in his tone.

"Am I old?"

In order to cooperate with her, Shen Mu deliberately lowered his voice so that his voice would become thicker and sound the same as the old man.

"Not old, not old, Brother Wood is the youngest of us who looks."

It looks like you're just over eight years old, can you not be young?

"Brother Wood?"

Shen Mu looked at Shen Miao and pointed at himself again.

"Me?"

"Well, I'll call you Brother Wood from now on."

After the girl finished speaking, she immediately stepped forward and grabbed Shen Mu's arm, I don't know if it was the girl's nature, or the reason why Shen Mu saved her, she suddenly stuck to Shen Mu.

"Looking for a fight, no big or small!"

Shen Shi finally calmed down his mood and came up to pull away his little sister. But the latter nimbly dodged him and ran behind Shen Mu to make a grimace.

This action made everyone laugh, and the people present were all young people, and for a while, a layer of thin ice separated from everyone suddenly shattered because of a series of innocent and funny behaviors of the girl.

……

"Why haven't I gotten old? Well...... That's a good question, but I don't know, maybe it has something to do with something I'm eating. ”

"What's that? Xiao Miao should also eat! ”

"Haha, how can there be so much for you to eat?"

Shen Mu pushed away this familiar little kid and walked quickly to the front of the team.

On the way back, everyone was very curious about Shen Mu, and kept throwing all kinds of questions at him.

Like what you have been all these years, what you have experienced, what realm you have cultivated, the spells you have just used, and even whether there are Taoist couples or not.

Shen Mu naturally couldn't tell them the true situation, but only said that he had strayed into a secret realm and stayed in it for a long time before finally finding his way home.

"Whew~"

Shen Mu, who came to the front of the team, sighed slightly, only then did he feel that he hadn't spoken for a long time, and he felt a little tired for a while.

Before this, he had simulated the scene of talking to the Shen family countless times in his mind, and he was originally worried about how to get along with the Shen family, but now it seems that everything is falling into place.

"What's wrong?"

Shen Shi saw Shen Mu's sigh and asked forward with concern.

"Ah, it's fine."

Shen Mu smiled slightly, and then as if he remembered something, he turned to Shen Shi on the side and asked about business.

"By the way, why are you being besieged in that village just now?"

"This matter is mainly related to a task I received a few days ago."

Shen Shi showed an expression of reminiscence, and told Shen Mu all the strange things that had happened recently.

It turned out that in the recent period, many villages near Changfeng City have often been infested by a kind of half-human and half-insect monsters, and many villagers and livestock have been attacked.

The villagers were miserable and sought protection from the major immortal cultivators in the city. In line with the belief of compassion for mortals, the major families have issued a large number of tasks to the young people in the clan.

And Shen Shi's team was one of the Shen family's teams, and they set off overnight and came to the designated point of the mission.

At first, they only found a few bugmen. Although these monsters are disgusting and their attack methods are also very weird, with the tacit cooperation of the team, they have also been able to get rid of these monsters without danger.

After the clearance, when Shen Shi and his party were about to go back to restore their lives, the villagers stopped them and invited them to participate in the celebratory banquet.

In the evening, after the feast, they took up their homes in the villagers' homes.

It's just that they didn't expect that in the early hours of the morning, they were alarmed by the strange noise outside the house, and when they looked out, they found that the outside of the house was already full of half-human and half-insect monsters.

"Actually, I didn't expect Xiao Miao to move back to the rescuers at that time, I just hoped that at least she could successfully escape, but I didn't expect her to find you."

"Hahaha, it seems that God doesn't want you to die, so he sent me."

Shen Mu made a joke, and then returned to seriousness, "Before, have you found a similar monster near Changfeng City?" ”

Shen Shi shook his head, "Probably not, I've never heard of such a monster before." ”

"Speaking of which, it's the first time I've seen it, and it feels like a person has been controlled by insect parasitism, and it feels like a cordyceps."

After seeing the strange insect man, Shen Mu couldn't help but think of the guillotine armor, but the guillotine armor was an armored demon, but there was no trace of demonic energy on the insect man.

In this way, the group chatted without saying a word, and finally came to the vicinity of Changfeng City two days later.

"I see you've been holding your stomach, what's wrong?"

Shen Mu walked to Shen Shi's side and asked with concern.

"I don't know, it hurts a little, but it's okay, I'm almost in Changfeng City, I'll look for the elders when the time comes."

Shen Shi covered his stomach and sweated profusely.

"Well, okay, let's speed up then."

With that, the group quickened their pace, and in a moment, the walls of Changfeng City had already appeared in front of them.

But when they saw the scene in front of them, they were all stunned.

Changfeng City, at this moment, seems to be rippling in a sea of green with insects and severed limbs. The waves crashed against the walls, leaving stains of tarnished green on them.

The surging waves swept white worms like snails, draping the mangled bodies of humans over their bodies and using them as shells, to the city walls.

The white tentacles on their bodies trembled, squirming their wet bellies, making a "snap~" sound, and kept climbing upwards, and then fell hard. Returned to the green sea of insects and people piled up below.

The waves rolled, revealing some of their huge bodies, like a fat snake with a bloated body that had eaten too much, and kept tumbling, spitting out a mixture of green from its mouthparts.

It was like a stomach pouch full of food, and after being stabbed several times, the wriggling wound gushed out a mixture of undigested residues.

"How so?"

Shen Mu looked stunned, but at this moment, a strange sound came from behind him, a sound that seemed to be the molting of some kind of creature, and like the sound of a skin bag filled with water being pierced.

The familiar green juice trickled to his feet, and he looked back sharply, only to see that Shen Shi's stomach had cracked open, and there was a fishy smell.

Among them, a centipede-like insect was revealed, which continued to grow and burrowed into Shen Shi's chest, and rose into the sky against the upper half of Shen Shi's body, which had lost contact with the lower half of his body.

Waving the jaws on both sides of his abdomen, he pressed towards Shen Mu.
