Chapter 112 Late Night Communication
The eighteen people quickly arrived at the first survey site, which was located near an old neighborhood. After starting the survey equipment, everyone looked at the surrounding environment with a serious expression.
The operation of the surveyor will attract demons with keen hearing, and it takes a full three hours to complete the survey, which means they must resist continuous demon attacks during this time.
Fortunately, most of the demons in Jinlin City had already left, and the evacuation route was planned in advance, so the three-hour defense was not too difficult for everyone.
"Ouch~!"
“Ooooooooooooooooooooooooo!”
“Oh my god, we’ve attracted two three-eyed demon wolves.” Zhao Manyan exclaimed, and waved to Xu Mu and the others, “Xu Mu, Mo Fan, come and help me deal with these demon wolves. I, a tortoise shell mage, don’t have any offensive capabilities.”
"Thunder Seal~"
"Fierce Fist~"
As soon as Zhao Manyan finished speaking, a chain of lightning and a ball of blazing flaming fist shadow shot out from both sides of him, instantly destroying the two three-eyed demon wolves.
There are a lot of one-eyed magic wolves in the old block, and there are also quite a few three-eyed magic wolves, but fortunately, everyone is strong, and it is not difficult to hold on for three hours.
Three hours passed quickly, and when the red light on the surveyor turned green, everyone immediately followed the predetermined retreat route and evacuated the scene without looking back.
At the next survey site, the eighteen people followed suit, made a retreat plan in advance, and then activated the survey equipment. After the survey was completed, they immediately left the place.
After completing the two surveys, it was almost six o'clock in the evening. The night was getting darker, and the night in the wild was more dangerous than the day. Everyone returned to the church and stopped the survey.
"Same as usual, three people in a group, taking turns to guard." Xu Mu said.
"Understood. Lao Zhao, remember to call me when the time comes." Mo Fan said, then fell down to rest.
He was really tired today. In order to allow the little loach to absorb enough residual soul to condense a soul essence, he put all his strength into killing monsters. Even his fire magic energy was dried up. Despite this, he could only barely condense a soul essence.
Zhao Manyan, who was standing nearby, also fell asleep immediately. Although the others were still asleep, their faces showed signs of fatigue, and they were obviously not suitable for the task of keeping watch.
Therefore, Xu Mu, Mu Ningxue and Bai Tingting were responsible for the first shift of night watch.
The three of them came outside the church, lit a bonfire and sat down.
"It seems like you have never used the third-level magic." After a brief silence, Mu Ningxue broke the silence.
"Oh, that's right. Since the exchange competition, you, Xu Mu, have been using lightning and space magic. What exactly is the third system?" Bai Tingting suddenly realized and asked curiously.
"It seems that you have observed very carefully, but I have not yet awakened the third series of magic." Xu Mu replied with a smile.
"Why don't you awaken?" Mu Ningxue asked doubtfully.
For mages, mastering additional magic will greatly enhance their strength. Take Xu Mu for example, he currently lacks effective means of movement. Once he awakens wind or earth magic, his combat effectiveness will be significantly improved.
"No rush, I'll go back and awaken after this training is over." Xu Mu shook his head and said.
"After the disaster in Bo City, how are you and Uncle Mu's lives?" Xu Mu suddenly asked with concern.
Mu He and Yu Ang, one is Mu Zhuoyun's biological brother and the other is his adopted son. They are both members of the Black Church. No one knows how Mu Ningxue is doing now in the Mu family, a den of greed and cruelty.
"Although public opinion has some impact on my father and me, it is not a problem." Mu Ningxue responded calmly.
"After all, it's just a small county town, and the number of victims is relatively small. It makes sense for the Mu family to continue to support you."
Xu Mu sighed softly. He knew that the death toll in Bo City had been counted, which was approximately 20,000, which was 10,000 less than the more than 30,000 in the original work.
Although the outside world was talking about the disaster in Bo City, the impact was ultimately limited and not enough to affect Mu Ningxue, or even touch the core interests of the Mu family.
Mu Ningxue remained silent. This was a cruel fact. Although 20,000 people died in this disaster because of Mu He, she and her family were not greatly affected. "So you are all from Bo City?"
Bai Tingting looked at Xu Mu and Mu Ningxue with a little surprise. She only knew that Mo Fan was from Bo City, and didn't know that Xu Mu and Mu Ningxue were also from Bo City.
"Yes, she, Mo Fan and I are all from Bo City. We have been playing together since we were young." Xu Mu replied with a smile.
"No wonder Mo Fan keeps calling Mu Ningxue his wife. It turns out they are childhood sweethearts." Bai Tingting muttered, her eyes sparkling with curiosity. She then asked impatiently:
"Since you grew up together, do you know who Mo Fan's 'little wife' is?"
"His sister Xinxia." Xu Mu said.
"Yuan Moukong?"
Bai Tingting's eyes widened. Mo Fan was such a beast. Not only did he marry two wives, but one of them was his own sister, and he even made his sister his mistress!
It's a pity that she still has a crush on Mo Fan!
Block, block!
"Mo Fan is a bit of a dog, but not such a beast. Xinxia is Mo Fan's stepsister who was brought into the family after his father remarried." Xu Mu clarified.
"So that's how it is. I thought she was his biological sister." Bai Tingting suddenly realized.
“Although Mo Fan is a bit of a scoundrel, he’s still a very nice person.” Mu Ningxue said.
"That's indeed good. If I hadn't stopped him, your father would have dug up the ground in Bo City." Xu Mu nodded in agreement.
Hearing this, Mu Ningxue glanced at Xu Mu in dissatisfaction. Why was he still bringing this up after such a long time?
Wasn't it just that when he was a child, he was dissatisfied with the control of his family and wanted to run away from home, so he asked Xu Mu for help. Xu Mu disagreed, so he went to Mo Fan, but Xu Mu was stopped.
"Tingting, you should go back and rest first. It's enough for her and I to be here." Xu Mu said to Bai Tingting.
"You are the only healing mage in the team. We can do without anyone but you."
Without waiting for Bai Tingting to refuse, Xu Mu continued to say that the importance of a mid-level healing mage was even greater than that of a high-level mage, and he was not exaggerating.
"We agreed that three of us would keep watch." Bai Tingting refused.
"You also know the strength of Xu Mu and I. You can't help if you stay here. You should go back and rest." Mu Ningxue also advised.
"Well... okay then."
Since the two masters had already said so, Bai Tingting hesitated for a moment, then stood up and walked towards the interior of the Vatican.
After Bai Tingting left, only Mu Ningxue and Xu Mu were left by the fire. Mu Ningxue stared at Xu Mu with confusion in her eyes. She didn't understand why Xu Mu wanted Bai Tingting to leave.
She could see that Xu Mu was deliberately sending Bai Tingting away.
"Ning Xue..." Xu Mu paused and said, "Find an opportunity to leave the Mu family. You can pay back the resources in return slowly in the future. The Mu family is not a place suitable for you."
Mu Ningxue did not respond. It was impossible for her to leave the Mu family.
Mu Ningxue is a strong woman who longs to become even stronger and become a supreme magician, and her family also needs her protection.
Only by staying in the Mu family can she obtain the necessary resources to support her own path of cultivation, whether it is the ice bow or any other resources.
"If my aunt were still alive and saw you like this, she would definitely not let you stay in the Mu family." Xu Mu continued.
"But mother has passed away. None of us knows what she would do if she were still alive." Mu Ningxue replied calmly.
"The Mu family is a den of tigers that eat people without leaving any bones. Mu He is still alive, and Saran is still alive. The public opinion in Bo City is not serious enough. What about next time?" Xu Mu said.
"Mu He is your uncle, and Yu Ang is your stepbrother. This is an unchangeable fact. Saran is known as the most talented terrorist in the past hundred years. The next time she takes action, the impact on public opinion will definitely not be as simple as the Bo City disaster."
