Chapter 23 The Snipe and the Clam Fight
The quiet moonlight filled the vast land, and cold winds blew through, mixed with several roars of beasts. The night in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountains made people feel uneasy.
There was a faint light of fire in an inconspicuous cave.
Mu Yan and others sat around the bonfire, their expressions very excited under the flames.
From Mu Yan's perspective, there were six eggs lined up here. There were exactly six people in the team including him, one for each person, and everyone was happy.
But until now, no one has spoken about the assignment, so Mu Yan can't talk about it first.
Finally, Xie Zhishu said: "Stick to the old rules and distribute according to merit."
Mu Yan's heart was filled with joy, and he distributed the gifts according to their merits, so it would be great to have love.
Apart from anything else, Mu Yan risked his life to lure away the silver-winged ice dragon, which definitely deserves the most credit.
Then, Xie Zhishu said: "Of these six monster eggs, three for me and two for the vice-captain. The rest should be divided equally among the rest of the team."
As soon as these words came out, Mu Yan was stunned.
Hey, is this all done?
In the end, there was only one egg left, and the rest of the team shared it equally. Since I was not from this team, wouldn't that mean that I couldn't even get a piece of eggshell?
Thinking of this, Mu Yan's eyes cast a haze, and she said in a deep voice: "Senior, when you invited me here, you agreed that you would share some of the flesh and blood of monsters with me."
"After returning to Zixiao Palace, I will give you the remaining eggshells. Boil them and take them to get some Dou Yuan." Xie Zhishu said.
Depend on! You really gave me eggshells!
Anger flashed in Mu Yan's eyes, but it didn't break out.
Xie Zhishu chuckled lightly and reached out to grab all three monster eggs.
"Wait!"
A cold light streaked through the void and stabbed hard.
"What do you mean?" Xie Zhishu retracted his hand, only to see Leng Mang plunge into the rock wall of the cave, and it turned out to be a fierce flying knife.
The person who made the sneak attack turned out to be Feng Xiaowen.
"Why do you two get five, and the three of us get one?" Feng Xiaowen said coldly without any fear on his face at this moment.
At this time, Leng Feng, who had been silent all this time, appeared next to Xie Zhishu like a ghost. With a shake of his hand, a meter-long fist blade appeared, glowing with bloodthirsty luster.
"You might as well say it directly if you have something to say, or should you three have already discussed something?" Leng Feng also stared at Feng Xiaowen closely.
Sure enough, the next moment, Zhou Yan and Xiong Dazhuang were also standing next to Feng Xiaowen.
"I don't mean anything else. It's just that every time we work together to kill monsters, you two take the lead and the three of us get the soup. This is unfair!" Feng Xiaowen said.
"They are all distributed according to merit. Do you think that the strength of a high-level knight will be the same as that of a little mid-level knight like you?" Xie Zhishu said.
"You look down on people. All I know is that if you two hadn't been too greedy in the past few years, the three of us would have reached the senior level long ago!" Zhou Yan also said angrily.
At this time, Xie Zhishu turned his attention to Mu Yan.
"Junior, what do you think?" he asked.
Now, if they two high-level knights faced off against three mid-level knights, even if they could win by chance, they would suffer a loss of eight hundred in the end. Mu Yan, who had never spoken, became very important.
Mu Yan seemed to be in trance at this moment, silent.
"Junior?" Xie Zhishu patiently asked again.
"Ah!" Mu Yan cried out suddenly, as if he had woken up from a dream.
Both groups of people looked contemptuous. Was this kid frightened?
They were fighting like snipes and clams, but they never imagined that at this moment, three of the six monster eggs were empty, with only one eggshell left.
What's the best part of it?
Behind the monster egg that is as tall as a person, hidden where the firelight cannot find it, is a hanging wooden sword.
At this moment, the wooden sword was still in the small hole poked in the egg, absorbing the energy inside.
It was Mu Yan who used sword control skills to control the wooden sword to come and go freely.
After Xie Zhishu said he wanted to give Mu Yan eggshells, Mu Yan's remaining good thoughts were all forgotten.
"Since you treat me like this, don't blame me for being ruthless."
So, this scene happened.
However, Mu Yan did not expect that this group of people would actually start an internal strife.
Taking advantage of the chaos, the wooden sword absorbed the essence of the monster egg a little faster.
"Consume the demonic beast egg from the commander-level silver-winged ice dragon to gain some fighting energy."
"Consume the demonic beast egg from the commander-level silver-winged ice dragon to gain some fighting energy."
…
Unknowingly, Mu Yan's accumulated fighting energy exceeded 200 points, and he suddenly transformed into a high-level knight!
But the movement absorbed by the wooden sword did not stop.
Unexpectedly, Xie Zhishu's words interrupted Mu Yan's sword control skills, making him angry and annoyed.
But Mu Yan didn't show any displeasure. He was also afraid that this little trick would be discovered and he would end up being criticized.
"What do you think?" Xie Zhishu's patience reached its limit.
Mu Yan first observed everyone's expressions, and as his eyes flew across, he actually caught a subtle picture.
That is Zhou Yan.
The way she looked at her was not with any expectation at all, but with a kind of indifference, as if she were looking at a dead person!
what happened?
He felt something was wrong, but he couldn't explain the reason. He just subconsciously stayed away from these people, and then smiled and said: "I don't have any opinions. No matter what the outcome of our discussion is, I will not object."
Xie Zhishu was not surprised by Mu Yan's neutrality.
For Xie Zhishu, it would be the best situation if Mu Yan didn't interfere.
Two high-level knights versus three mid-level warriors, even if they suffered a total loss of 800, it would be better than being killed directly.
"After taking these monster eggs, I will be the strongest student in the entire Shonan High School!" Xie Zhishu was having a big dream of Spring and Autumn, and his mind was a little erratic.
Unexpectedly, the next moment, Leng Feng's fist blade came down and struck hard.
Xie Zhishu instinctively hid, only to hear a scoff, and a long blood mark was drawn on his robe and abdomen, and blood spattered for a moment.
"You..." Xie Zhishu endured the severe pain and looked at Leng Feng angrily.
Leng Feng dodged and came to Feng Xiaowen's side. He said coldly: "You have always suppressed me these years. Today, you, the captain, should give way."
"So you are the mastermind!" Xie Zhishu's eyes turned red. He was almost cut in half by Leng Feng just now. This was a beating to death.
Feng Xiaowen smiled: "Without the vice-captain, how can we have the confidence to fight with you as the captain? You think we are fools."
Then, he looked at Mu Yan triumphantly: "What do you think, junior fellow student, join forces with us, and we will give you a monster egg when the time comes."
Join forces?
Mu Yan sneered in his heart, you just think I'm a fool.
Thinking of Zhou Yan's look just now, Mu Yan finally understood. It turned out that these four people had colluded together to kill Xie Zhishu. How could they mind killing one more Mu Yan?
In just a moment, Xie Zhishu applied some ointment to the wound, and the bleeding stopped!
He said: "Junior, after all this, do you still believe their lies? Leng Feng and I have known each other for three years, and he dares to be cruel to me, let alone an outsider like you!"
