"Mayor Liu, what's going on with the Beast Mountain Sect?" Shi Mu asked.
"Well, it's a long story. In fact, our Linshan Town..." the old mayor shook his head and replied as he walked.
Through the old mayor's explanation, Shi Mu finally understood a little more about the Central Continent.
It turns out that Laishan Town is a border town belonging to the Song State, a small country in the east of the Lushan Dynasty.
The Beast Mountain Sect, a sect of the Song Dynasty, accidentally discovered that Pishan Mountain, which is backed by Linshan Town, actually has a spiritual stone vein, so it sent people to recruit residents from some nearby towns to go into the mountain to mine spiritual stones.
Since the Beast Mountain Sect offered very high rewards to those who went into the mountain to mine, the young and middle-aged townspeople rushed to go there, and the town prospered for a period of time.
But later, the residents of the town gradually discovered that only some of the people sent to mine could return safely, and most of these people died suddenly not long after.
Although the Beast Mountain Sect offered a large amount of compensation and kept increasing the remuneration, over time, as the number of men in the town decreased, no residents were willing to go there anymore.
Recently, it was said that as the Lushan Dynasty’s thirty-year grand ceremony approaches, the sects in the surrounding countries seem to need to pay tribute in large quantities of spiritual stones, so in recent years, various places in the Song Kingdom have been intensively mining.
As a result, the people who guarded this spiritual line began to send people to the town every now and then, and in the name of twice the reward, they forced strong men to go mining.
Because the Song Dynasty is not big, although the Beast Mountain Sect is only a small sect in the central continent, it has a considerable status in the Song Dynasty, so the people in the town have no way to appeal.
…
While talking, the two came to a two-story restaurant.
The old mayor turned to look at Shi Mu, sighed and said:
"Shi Yishi, there are many strong men in the Beast Mountain Sect, and the people guarding the mines here alone are much more powerful than Xiang Envoy. In my humble opinion, you should leave Linshan Town as soon as possible after finishing your meal!"
"Thank you mayor for your kindness," Shi Mu said.
The old mayor shook his head and said nothing more. He walked directly into the restaurant with the support of the thin man, and Shi Mu followed closely.
The restaurant looks quite clean at first glance, but the tables and chairs are a bit shabby.
Although they were all home-cooked dishes, Shi Mu hadn't had a good meal for more than half a year, so he and the parrot feasted. The amount of food was so large that the old mayor was surprised.
In the end, the old mayor refused to charge for the meal, but Shi Mu didn't force it.
After drinking and eating, Shi Mu stayed at a good inn in the town under the introduction of the old mayor.
The inn, like most buildings in the town, was quite grand. He lived in the upper room, and there was a large courtyard right outside the door.
There were three rooms in the entire courtyard except for the courtyard gate. However, the two rooms on the left and right were empty at this time, so the entire courtyard seemed very quiet, which made Shi Mu quite satisfied.
…
In a rather gorgeous courtyard in the town.
"Father, Master Bai will definitely not give up. When he comes to visit, this Shi Mu will never be his opponent. This matter started because of him. What should we do if Master Bai gets angry with us?" The thin man looked at it.
Looking at the old mayor sitting blankly in his chair, he said this.
"Zhi'er, accept your fate! Our Linshan town thrives because of the mountains, but it will eventually perish because of the mountains." The white-haired old mayor shook his head and sighed.
"My child, there is a way to avoid this disaster!" The thin man rolled his eyes.
"What can I do? Could it be that you..." The old mayor stood up and pointed at the thin man.
"Father, since Mr. Bai will never let Shi Mu go, we might as well take the initiative to report his whereabouts to Mr. Bai, which will make our position clear. They should not pursue the matter. In addition, I have heard someone mention that the warlock
He usually carries spirit stones with him. Since Shi Mu is a warlock, he might have a lot of spirit stones with him. When Master Bai is happy, it will not be a piece of cake to get rid of the mining quota in this town! After all, there are not many places around here.
We are the only town, and there is no shortage of more than a dozen people from our town." said the thin man.
"No, we can't repay kindness with hatred, otherwise we will be punished by God!" the old mayor denied.
"Father, this matter involves the interests of our entire Linshan Town. Many people in the town don't say anything, but they are like mirrors in their hearts. As far as I know, A Ming and the others have already gone to the mine to report the news."
The man lowered his voice.
"You guys..." The old mayor sat down on his chair. He was so angry that he couldn't speak for a long time.
Seeing that the old mayor didn't do anything else, the thin man smiled slightly and stepped back with relief.
…
That night, the moonlight was bright, and the entire surface of the gorgeous buildings in Linshan Town seemed to be stained with a faint silver glow.
Shi Mu was currently sitting cross-legged on the bed in the guest room, practicing with his eyes closed.
Suddenly, his heart moved, and a picture appeared in his mind.
But a group of sixteen beast-robed warriors with spears in their hands were pouring in from the inn door. A thin man and a dark-skinned young man stood aside submissively.
Shi Mu stood up, opened the door and walked out, standing quietly in the courtyard.
A moment later, a figure flashed at the courtyard gate, and a tall and powerful middle-aged man in a beast robe was the first to rush into the courtyard.
When he saw Shi Mu standing quietly in the center of the yard, he was slightly startled at first, then slowed down his steps and slowly approached Shi Mu.
Immediately afterwards, there was a crowd of people behind him, and fifteen beast-robed warriors suddenly poured in. The well-trained warriors were separated on both sides, and soon formed three small gun formations, with five people in each formation arranged in a plum blossom shape, surrounding Shi Mu.
Surrounded.
The middle-aged man in the beast robe has a strong aura, and he is clearly an early-stage innate powerhouse.
As for the beast-robed warriors surrounding Shi Mu, except for the three warriors in the late acquired stage who were leading the way, the rest were all mid-stage warriors.
The man with triangular eyes that Shi Mu had seen before was one of the three leading late-stage warriors, and he was currently behind Shi Mu.
"I really didn't expect that your Excellency is actually an innate warrior. No wonder you dare to interfere in the affairs of our Beast Mountain Sect. I'm Bai Shaofeng of the Beast Mountain Sect. I wonder which sect your Excellency comes from?" The middle-aged man in the beast robe said, but he didn't know.
He took a step forward animatedly.
Hearing this, the man with triangular eyes trembled.
"If you win, I'll tell you." Shi Mu said.
"Okay, it's settled!" Bai Shaofeng laughed.
As soon as he finished speaking, he stamped his right foot and rushed towards Shi Mu like a beast with a strong wind.
The silver light in his hand shone brightly, and the gun body was instantly enveloped in a thick layer of silver light, and then he stabbed forward suddenly.
A silver leopard, about ten feet long, sprang out from the silver light of the gun head with flying legs, and rushed towards Shi Mu with a ferocious aura.
At the same time, a ball of blue light appeared on the tip of each spear in the three spear formations, and then merged towards the middle. A half-foot-sized green wolf head appeared in front of each spear formation.
Then as soon as the formation moved, three green wolf heads made a "chichi" sound as they attacked Shi Mu from three sides, blocking all his escape routes.
Shi Mu stood motionless. A white light flashed in his left hand, and his body was immediately covered by a moon-white shield. At the same time, he moved his right hand, and a black shadow flashed behind him. A short meteorite stick appeared in his hand, and in the blink of an eye, the short stick was on the spot. A layer of green light emerged.
Shi Mu casually waved his hand, and a green stick came out like a mountain and hit the wolf's head formed by a spear formation on the left.
Almost at the same time, he turned his head, opened his mouth, and sprayed out five streams of white gas at the gun formation on the right.
There was a loud "boom" sound.
As soon as the silver leopard hit the moon-white shield, a dazzling silver light burst out. After the moon-white shield trembled wildly in the silver light, its surface dimmed a bit, but it did not break.
At this time, the mountain-like green stick shadow and five streaks of white energy also hit the heads of the green wolves on both sides.
A series of muffled sounds came!
The two wolf heads twisted for a while and then exploded. Ten human figures flew out to both sides like clouds and mist. They all rolled to the ground and fainted.
At this time, the green wolf head in front of the last spear formation had pounced behind Shi Mu.
There was an explosion of "boom"!
Blue and white light burst out, and the wolf's head collapsed. The runes on the moon-white shield flowed and became almost transparent, but it did not collapse in the end.
At this moment, Shi Mu suddenly turned around, opened his mouth, and five more white qi spurted out.
There was a loud "boom" sound.
The gun array where the man with the triangular eyes was located was too close and was dispersed by the white air waves. Everyone flew out and fell to the ground in a mess, unconscious.
At this moment, Shi Mu noticed a fluctuation of mana above his head, and then a black light flashed in mid-air, and a black beast cage appeared out of thin air around him, instantly covering him.
At the same time, Bai Shaofeng moved and rushed towards Shi Mu.
The silver light on the tip of the spear in his hand skyrocketed. In the blink of an eye, the tip of the spear exploded five times, becoming a brilliant silver light. It suddenly penetrated the black beast cage and stabbed towards Shi Mu.
At this time, Shi Mu was in a cage and could not escape at all.
At this moment, Shi Mu shouted "Kill!"
The short stick in his hand suddenly glowed with green light, and with a dance, layers of stick mountains appeared out of thin air in front of him, faintly forming seven mountains of green light stacked on top of each other, heading towards the huge silver spear head. .
As soon as the first layer of Green Guangshan touched the silver spearhead, terrifying power suddenly burst out, a dazzling green light lit up, and the silver spearhead trembled violently.
At this moment, the second heavy stick mountain and the third heavy stick mountain came one after another.
There was a loud "rumbling" sound.
The huge silver gun head finally broke apart, and a huge force surged down the gun barrel. Bai Shaofeng's chest felt tight, and he took three steps back before stopping.
Fortunately, there was a black beast cage blocking it, so the opponent could not pursue it. The remaining four layers of green light mountains all hit the black beast cage.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" A series of explosions.
Groups of green light exploded, and waves of extremely powerful power made the beast cage tremble. At this moment, countless black runes appeared on the beast cage. After a flash of light, the beast cage was found to be safe and sound.
"Haha, your Excellency is trapped by the Beast Talisman. You don't have late-stage innate strength, so don't think about it for now." Bai Shaofeng stood up and said with a smile.
