Chapter 1: The City of Pointe-Noire
The Alliance of Hundred Ethnic Groups is located at the southern tip of the mainland.
Although its name is the Alliance of Hundred Races, in fact, there are ten thousand ethnic groups living in it, they are independent of each other, there is no absolute law, but they must obey the command of the hundred ethnic groups, because the hundred ethnic groups are the top 100 strongest ethnic groups determined by the grand ceremony of the "Ten Thousand Ethnic Alliance", which is recognized by all ethnic groups and can lead all ethnic groups to be strong.
The Ye clan is one of the hundred tribes, with a profound heritage, and its subordinates are in charge of five major territories, and there are twelve main cities in each territory, and there are countless people living in it.
Among the twelve main cities, there is a city called Black Horn City, which is extremely special because there are countless rare beasts here, such as a unicorn being reined to drive, a century-old turtle demon serving as a stone statue on the side of the restaurant, and even a little girl riding a three-headed demon wolf to play on the street.
Because Black Horn City is a city where demons coexist, and the vast majority of people in this city are beast masters, so there are so many demon beasts on the street, and of course, the five major families in power in Black Horn City are all beast control families, namely the Lin family, the Yu family, the Shang family, the She family, and the Zhong family.
At this time, in the Yu family, one of the five major families in Black Corner City, there was a seriously injured teenager who slowly woke up.
……
Yu clan, in a dimly lit room, Xu Mu opened his eyes, and suddenly a feeling of soreness hit.
"Where is this?"
Xu Mu got up with a painful expression, looked at the surrounding furnishings dizzily, and after finding that it didn't look like the Netherworld, he was sure that he was still alive.
"Uh, it hurts!"
He was about to stand up, but was stopped by a sharp pain in his chest.
"Shhh Xu Mu froze in place, gasped, his lips were chapped and his head was sweating, he lowered his head very carefully, lifted the unfamiliar cloth clothes, and then saw a bloody wound on his chest.
"Was that guy injured later, it's terrifying." Xu Mu grinned in pain, didn't dare to move anymore, and sat back on the plank carefully.
"Charles, what happened after I entered the Heavenly Palace, and, where is this?" Xu Mu asked into the air while looking inward to inspect the injury.
The answer to the "......" was a void of peace.
"When is it, you're still playing this set!" Xu Mu was a little helpless, thinking that this was Charles and deliberately ignoring him.
......After more than ten seconds passed, Xu Mu's helplessness turned into a slight anger, and he pretended to be angry and shouted, "I'll give you three seconds, and if you don't come out, your reshaping of the mechanical body will be nullified!" ”
"......" was already the most powerful threat he could think of, but Charles still didn't reply, as if he had really disappeared.
"No, it won't." Xu Mu was stunned and swallowed his saliva silently, "Could it be that Charles has really disappeared?" ”
The thought was terrible, and he lay back on the plank in pain, looking at the not-so-white wall in front of him, and the light shining through the paper with a pile of dust, and a sense of dazed and helpless rose in his heart.
"Where am I?" Xu Mu muttered softly, and then suddenly raised his voice, "Has anyone told me where this is?!" ”
"This is the Yu family!"
With a creak, the door to the dilapidated wooden house was pushed open, and a guard-like housekeeper entered.
"Don't shout, if you make a noise until the old lady rests, there will be no good fruit for you to eat!" The guard's face was not very good, and he shouted in a low voice.
"The Yu family?" Xu Mu was even more puzzled, because when he heard the tone of the guard, the Yu family seemed to be a very big family, but he thought about it for a long time and didn't expect that among the big clans in the Strange Night Domain, which family was surnamed Yu.
"Could it be that I have been brought back to the Taoist Temple by the wine fairy seniors?"
"Well, the Yu family." The guard took out a packet of potions from his arms and handed it to Xu Mu, and then said, "You are quite good at picking the time, originally the young lady planned that if you didn't wake up after this pack of medicine was used, I wouldn't continue to treat you, but you woke up." ”
Before Xu Mu could speak, the guard continued:
"Hey, brother, I'll ask directly, which family's genius disciple are you, will you help our Yu family fight for the beast mine!"
"Beast Mine?" Xu Mu was stunned, "What is that?" ”
"You don't know what a beast mine is!"
The guard's eyes widened, as if he had seen a monster, and he took three steps back.
"I don't know about the beast mine, is it worth your surprise?" Xu Mu was a little confused about the current situation, and he recognized the word beast ore when he opened it, but it was the first time he had seen it together.
"Of course, the beast mine is the greatest wealth in our domain, and we in Blackhorn City make a living from it!" The guard explained in amazement, and then seemed to guess something, and looked surprised:
"Aren't you from my Ten Thousand Beasts Domain?!"
"Ten Thousand Beasts Domain......" Xu Mu's face turned pale when he heard this, of course he was not from the Ten Thousand Beasts Domain, and he had never heard of this place, so where the hell was he?!
"It turns out that this is the Ten Thousand Beasts Domain." Seeing that the guard's expression was gradually wrong, Xu Mu hurriedly said with a dry smile:
"I'm from another region and grew up in the mountains, so I'm not familiar with the outside world, so please forgive me."
"I see...... the guard seemed to believe Xu Mu's words, nodded, and then continued:
"But it doesn't matter, you just need to know that you are in the Yu family in the Black Horn City of the Ten Thousand Beasts Domain, it was the Miss Yu family who saved you, and you need to repay the favor."
"Oh, I see." Xu Mumian nodded without waves, but he was very shocked in his heart.
"Since you don't know what the beast mine is, you must not know about the beast mine competition in Black Horn City." The guard asked.
"Naturally, I don't know, and I ask Brother Ren to solve my doubts." Xu Mu asked the man with the idea that what he had come would be.
"It's not a matter of common sense." The man waved his hand, and then said:
"The so-called beast mine is the spiritual mine needed for the cultivation of demon beasts, it is extremely precious, and it can directly establish the status of a family, and ten days later, Black Horn City will start the 'beast mine battle', and at that time, the five major families will reshuffle the number of beast mines owned by each family in the way of the younger generation."
"I see, it's going to be intense." Xu Mu cooperated with him and said.
"Of course, for this competition, all the families in Black Horn City have been preparing for a long time in advance and training geniuses, but the Lin family somehow knew the rules of the beast mine competition in advance, saying that the people who fought could not be the people of their own clan, so they first attacked the young strongest people within a radius of hundreds of miles, and almost all of them invited the Lin family to help."
The guard clenched his fists and looked solemn:
"And after the other families learned the news, they followed suit, but they all had little effect, and our Yu family, even a strong man, was not found! Now that there are less than ten days left before the 'Beast Mine War', many people think that the Yu family will fall this time, but at this moment, the daughter of the head of my Yu family, that is, the young lady, has brought back five young people from the outside world, making the entire Yu family see hope! ”
Xu Mu nodded when he heard this:
"It's a big world, and it's normal to be able to find helpers."
"No, they're not the helpers that Miss has found!" The guard looked at Xu Mu mysteriously, with a smile on the corner of his mouth:
"Those five people are not the geniuses that Miss found to help, but five unlucky people who have encountered a sandstorm! The young lady was just kind-hearted, so she rescued them and brought them home, and among the five people, one of them was in a coma for dozens of days without waking up, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead. ”
"That person can't be me." Xu Mu said weakly, and only then did he realize in his heart that he had encountered a sandstorm, and it was likely that he had been separated from the Jiuxian Daoist.
But why Charles disappeared, he had to wait for him to recover from his injuries and go to the Heavenly Palace to ask the gray pupils.
"Of course that person is you!" The guard laughed, then continued:
"This thing is very difficult to do, not only did the foreign aid not be found, but also let the family waste resources to heal people in vain, so the entire Yu family almost couldn't help but complain about Miss, and even some elders accused her in person, which once made Miss a laughing stock."
"That's miserable enough." Xu Mu said matter-of-factly.
"No, no, no!" Who knew that the guard shook his head again, and then smiled mysteriously:
"Maybe everyone has the same idea as you, but it turns out that we are all wrong, because among the five people who were saved, four of them all blew themselves up after their injuries, it turns out that they are all geniuses from other domains, and they are originally going to participate in the Ten Thousand Clans Alliance, and their strength is very strong, and they can completely fight against the strongest geniuses invited by other families, and even surpass them
! ”
When Xu Mu heard this, he was instantly stunned:
"In this way, the luck of your Miss Yu family is too good."
"Yes, our young lady is beautiful and kind, fortunately, God has reciprocated, she picked up a genius, which shocked the entire Yu family, and she raised her eyebrows all of a sudden!"
The guard sighed, with indescribable pride in his tone, as if the person who picked up the genius was not Miss Yu, but himself.
After hearing this, Xu Mu briefly combed through the news he had learned so far, and then suddenly found that the guard was staring at him with a hot eye, which made him creepy.
"What are you looking at?" Xu Mu asked.
"It's nothing, just see." The guard seemed to realize something, turned his head awkwardly, and then continued:
"Actually, you can also guess, Miss picked up five people, four of them are peerless geniuses, and you, as the only one who is the most seriously injured, your identity naturally attracts attention."
"Well, I don't know them." Xu Mu shook his head and said.
"Well, those four peerless geniuses also said that they didn't know who you were, and speculated that you were likely to be a loose cultivator, but because of the precedent, the entire Yu family and even Black Corner City began to be curious about your identity, and looked forward to your awakening day and night."
"Unexpectedly...... And that kind of thing. Xu Mu smiled helplessly for a while, he was not familiar with him, but he became a second name in a daze, which is not necessarily a good thing.
"So brother, can you help our Yu family fight for the beast mine!" The guard asked.
"You Yu family...... No one is available to you. Xu Mu hesitated for a moment and did not answer positively.
"What are you talking about!" The guard looked displeased, and then said, "My Yu family has many geniuses, how can there be no one available!" ”
"It's just that the Yu family is just the Yu family in Black Corner City, there are people outside the world, and other families spend money from other places to hire people to fight in the ring, my Yu family is honest and uses their own family to fight, isn't that a fool?!"
"That's just as well." Xu Mu nodded, then pondered for a moment, and then said:
"You've seen my situation, and it's hard to move, and it seems that I can't help you."
"But if you really need it, I can try, but don't rely on me if you lose." Xu Mu said to the guard.
In fact, he didn't want to get involved in these things, of course recuperating from his injuries was the most important thing, but the other party saved his life after all, and it was impossible for him not to help him in trouble.
"It seems that you are indeed just a casual cultivator." The guard smacked his lips, his tone seemed to be a little regretful, and then he suddenly slapped his head:
"Oops! My memory. ”
"Miss said that when you wake up, she wants me to take you to meet him, so let's hurry over now!"
"I'm ...... It doesn't seem to be convenient. Xu Mu pointed to the wound on his chest, his face pale, "Although I really want to thank your young lady in person, but there is an injury on my body, and I really can't do anything......
"Yes, then I'll carry you." The guard stepped forward and made a gesture to carry Xu Mu, but then he slapped his head again and said:
"Look at my memory, you are a wound in the chest, you can't carry it, you have to hug it!"
“???”
Xu Mu looked at his big hand stretched out to his legs and back, and three black lines appeared on his head, so he bounced off the wooden board and ran to the door with lightning speed.
The guard saw a black shadow rushing out, he looked back at Xu Mu in amazement, and his jaw almost fell to the ground:
"You...... Aren't you injured and can't move! ”
Xu Mu leaned on the door frame, his face solemn:
"What are you talking about?"
"Although I am injured, if my benefactor wants to see me, how can I excuse myself!"
"But you just said that there is nothing you can do." The guard's eyes were gloomy.
"One time, another time." Xu Mu's facial muscles twitched slightly, turned his head and said, "Without further ado, please lead the way." ”
"I want to see Miss Yu's heart, I'm already hungry and thirsty!"
