Ke'er's appearance was originally beautiful. She had just come out of the bath and was covered in water vapor, like a lotus in water. She was also beautiful and exuded a touching charm.

"Junior Sister Ke, I didn't mean to peek at it, but I happened to hear the sound here and thought there was an enemy, so I..." Shi Mu explained awkwardly.

"I have been hiding in the base for many days and haven't taken a bath for a while, so I came here to clean my body while it was still dark." Ke'er's pretty face turned red and she said shyly.

As she said that, she waved her hand and the black vine quickly penetrated into the ground.

Shi Mu glanced at the black vine, and the thoughtful look flashed in his eyes.

The two looked at each other and didn't say anything for a moment, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.

"Cough... it's going to dawn soon, so go back soon." Shi Mu coughed dryly, put his knife into the sheath, and said first to break the silence.

Ke'er's face turned slightly red, she did not object, she tidied up her hair a little, and followed Shi Mu towards the stronghold.

In the early morning in the forest, the warm sunshine shone slanted from the trees and fell on a man and a woman walking forward one after another.

The man is tall and burly, with his arms swaying like the wind, while the woman is delicate in shape and looks like a bird dependent on others.

"Senior Brother Shi is outside at this time. Did you come out to practice again last night?" Ke'er's beautiful eyes flashed, and she suddenly accelerated a few steps, and advanced with Shi Mu, asking.

"That's right." Shi Mu nodded and said.

"Senior Brother Shi is really hardworking. No wonder he is so extraordinary and can also practice magic skills. My younger sister is far from enough. As far as I know, there are few young disciples of Miaoyin Sect who can compare with Senior Brother Shi." Ke'er said softly with a gentle look.

"Junior Sister Ke has been awarded too much. Your wood-type magic is also extremely clever. The vine just now shouldn't be an ordinary thing, right?" Shi Mu asked casually.

"That's just an ordinary wood-type magic. How can it be compared with Senior Brother Shi? By the way, my little sister doesn't have many talismans on her body. I want to ask Senior Brother Shi to help refine a few fireball talismans, but I wonder if Senior Brother Shi is free?" Ke'er asked with a change of words.

"As long as the junior sister provides the materials, there will naturally be no problem." Shi Mu agreed.

The two of them talked and laughed, and the atmosphere was much more harmonious. They soon arrived near the big tree stronghold under the cliff.

At this moment, the bushes in front of him rattled, and a man walked out.

The girl was shocked and saw clearly that the person coming was Bai Yuxiu, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.

Shi Mu frowned slightly.

"you……"

Bai Yuxiu looked at the two of them, his face suddenly turned pale, and he looked at Shi Mu viciously.

Shi Mu glanced at Ke'er beside him, then looked at his body, and felt a little surprised in his heart.

Ke'er's hair was not dry at this moment, and it was obvious that the traces of water just came out of the shower. Because he sat outside for a night, his body was covered with dew, as if he had just taken a bath.

The situation between the two is indeed very easy to misunderstand at first glance.

Ke'er obviously thought of this at this moment, but when she recalled that Shi Mu saw her bathing body, her face couldn't help but feel a little hot again.

Bai Yuxiu felt even more jealous when he saw Ke'er's shy expression.

"What's wrong with Senior Brother Bai? If there is nothing to do, I'll say goodbye first." Shi Mu said lightly, walking towards the big tree.

He knew very well that it was useless to explain what he would do at this moment, and he didn't plan to explain anything at all.

Ke'er then bowed slightly to Bai Yuxiu, walked around him, and followed Shi Mu with lotus steps.

Bai Yuxiu looked at the backs of the two of them walking towards the big tree by the cliff, and a trace of viciousness flashed in his eyes.

Shi Mu returned to his residence in the mine and sat down with a deep look on his face.

Bai Yuxiu has always been hostile to him and has often stumbling to him over the past few months, but he is not too out of line when he is concerned about his identity as a talisman master.

But this happened again today. The two of them were probably completely turned against each other, and they need to be more careful about Bai Yuxiu in the future.

However, in front of other people in this stronghold, he habitually hid most of his strength, and he also had many killer tricks on his body. I believe that even if Bai Yuxiu had any conspiracy, he would be confident enough to protect himself.

Of course, if this person used any vicious means to target him, he would naturally not be lenient.

In the following time, Shi Mu sat cross-legged, groped in his arms for a while, and took out a black bone piece, which was the bone piece of the martial arts of the Great Power Demon Ape's Rebirth Art.

A look of regret appeared on his face.

He still cannot practice this powerful demon ape's birth technique.

After the Astronomy Power advanced to the fourth level, Shi Mu exchanged a bottle of demonic energy and some ape essence and blood at a stronghold in the Human League. He once tried to practice the Great Power Demon Ape Rebirth Art, but unfortunately the true energy in his body still seemed too weak to withstand the invasion of demonic energy.

It is estimated that it will take until the Astronomy Power has advanced to the fifth level before it can start practicing the Great Power Demon Ape Rebirth Art.

Shi Mu sighed, carefully put away the bone pieces, and immersed himself in the practice of the Astronomy Technique again.

According to convention, you can take a few days off after going out for a task.

Two days passed in a flash.

Shi Mu practiced the celestial power in the mine in the daytime and went out to practice the moon-swallowing style at night. Bai Yu Cultivation never found any fault.

However, early in the morning of the third day, Shi Mu returned from practicing the moon-swallowing style. As soon as he stepped into the mine, his face changed slightly.

I saw more than a dozen people in the stronghold, all sitting solemnly at the stone table.

"Junior Brother Shi, I'm waiting for you, come and sit down." The young Taoist priest who asked Shi Mu to refine the golden armor talisman before stood up and greeted Shi Mu.

"Why are we all gathered here, but what happened?" Shi Mu asked slowly.

At this time, Ke'er in the crowd smiled at Shi Mu Zhanyan and pointed to a stone bench beside him.

Shi Mu thought about it and then walked over and sat down.

The shadow flashed deep in Bai Yuxiu's eyes, and the blue veins on his neck appeared and disappeared.

"Since everyone is here, I won't talk nonsense. Let's take a look at this first." He took a deep breath, without looking at Shi Mu and Ke'er, and took out the white disc. A white light flashed and condensed into a white light curtain in the air. A line of red text appeared on it.

Shi Mu's face changed slightly.

The colors used for the alliance are used for tasks issued by the colors. The ordinary tasks are white and the special tasks are black. Only particularly important tasks will be displayed in blood-colored text.

When others saw the red text, they were also shocked.

"This is the alliance mission I just received this morning. We want to sneak attack a barbarian food and grass base fifty miles away from the mountains and burn all the food and grass there." Bai Yuxiu looked around and said.

"The food and grass base near the mountains... is it the barbarian base near Yingchoujian?" A disciple of the Fenghuo Sect asked in horror.

"That's right, it's exactly there." Bai Yuxiu nodded expressionlessly.

"How can this be done? I have visited Yingchoujian's stronghold. The terrain is dangerous, with hundreds of barbarians guarding and many totem warriors. How could we, a dozen people, deal with it?" The disciple of the Fenghuo Sect said anxiously.

"No matter how dangerous the blood-word mission issued by the alliance is, it can only be executed." Bai Yuxiu glanced at the man and said lightly.

Everyone present felt a sank when they heard this, but no one said anything else.

The alliance punished the disciples who refused to obey orders very severely. At the least, they sealed their cultivation and sent them to various places to serve hard labor. At the worst, they directly abolished their cultivation and demoted them to trash servants. They were not allowed to leave the mountain gate for life.

"Although this task is difficult, the reward for merit points after completion is also very generous, with a total of 800 points. Of course, it will be distributed fairly according to the amount of your efforts." Bai Yuxiu glanced over everyone and said slowly.

When everyone heard this, their faces looked a little better.

"Since everyone has no objection, let's discuss the specific arrangements first." Seeing this, Bai Yuxiu took out a piece of plain paper from his arms, and drew a topographic map of the valley on it.

"I have been to Yingchoujian before, which was originally a mountain village occupied by bandits and robbers, and the location was quite secret. After the barbarians invaded, the robbers abandoned the village and fled, and the barbarians used this as a stronghold for storing food. I roughly remember some of the terrain there and have drawn it for your reference." He said, spreading the paper on the table.

Shi Mu looked up and saw Bai Yuxiu drawing the map of Yingchoujian in detail, and the terrain around the valley clearly marked out.

Some buildings are simply outlined in the gourd-shaped valley, which looks like a hamlet, and can be roughly seen to be divided into two floors inside and outside.

He glanced at the Fenghuo Sect disciple who had been to Yingchoujian, and saw that there was nothing unusual about it, so he felt relieved.

It seems that this terrain painting should be a big problem.

"As Junior Brother Zheng said, the number of barbarians stationed in Yingchoujian is large and powerful, and it is absolutely impossible for us to fight hard." Bai Yuxiu said solemnly with his face.

"Senior Brother Bai has come up with some clever plan?" Ke'er asked after hearing this, her voice smiling crisply.

"Haha, I dare not take the trick. My junior brothers and I discussed it and decided to split the troops into two groups. One of them pretended to attack the mountain village and lure the enemy to attract the attention of the barbarians as much as possible. The other team sneaked into Yingchou Spark in the chaos and waited for an opportunity to burn the barbarian food and grass." Bai Yuxiu smiled at Ke'er and explained slowly.

As soon as Bai Yuxiu said this, everyone around the stone table fell silent.

Many people frowned, while others showed a thoughtful look on their faces.

This strategy is not a clever plan, but it is also quite standard. If nothing unexpected happens, there are still many opportunities to complete the task.

After thinking for a while, no one raised objections.

"Since everyone has no objection, let's discuss the allocation plan next." Seeing this, Bai Yuxiu showed a rare smile on his face. (To be continued.)
