Today is definitely not peaceful.
It has been a rare thing for more than ten years for strong men to fight in the city during the day. It is even more unexpected that someone is so bold that someone sneaks into the Black Horn Castle in the middle of the night and directly blows up the Dark Corner's nest. No matter who it is, anyone who can do such a feat can no longer be described as a madman, it is simply lawless!
Leaving aside the laws of Zhonghai City, no one in Zhonghai City knows what role the Dark Corner plays.
To put it bluntly, this is a mafia organization.
In the eyes of ordinary civilians, an ordinary mercenary is already a high-ranking master. Where is Black Point Castle? That is the core headquarters of the Level 4 mercenary group. There is a high-ranking Heavenly Spirit strongman sitting in charge, plus hundreds of Earthly Spirit-level strongmen!
Ordinary people don't even dare to think about it.
The incident occurred less than an hour ago.
There was an uproar on the Internet in Zhonghai City, and some businessmen and civilians who had been bullied by mercenaries felt relieved.
An insider revealed that the two earth spirit masters who died in the city today were actually elders of the Dark Corner. Everyone couldn't help but guess that there might be an inevitable connection between the two things. The Black Horn Mercenary Group must have offended a ruthless character, so they were seeking revenge.
The law enforcement bureau quickly intervened, but the criminal was extremely cunning and clever. He left no breath that could be used for tracking, and at the same time, no blood, smell, or even hair was left at the scene. Even with advanced technological equipment and powerful tracking spells, there was no trace. If there are no traces, there is no way to trace them.
Dark Corner demands that the intelligence agency release surveillance photography. Cameras are very popular on Earth. Zhonghai City is only equipped with automatic photography equipment on some of the main streets, but it is not very common, because in the magical world, it is extremely easy to deceive such things. The Dark Corner still refused to give up and insisted on extracting images. The result was obvious and no suspicious person was found.
Word reached the top.
Deputy City Lord Lelio called in relevant personnel overnight to consult on the specific situation.
"When Black Horn Castle was attacked, did a gray phantom appear?"
"Yes, this is exactly the same as the phantom fog that appeared when Zhang Mu was assassinated."
Lelio frowned slightly, "This guy is not simple. He can actually find the Corner of Darkness. How did he do it..."
This subordinate said: "Zhang Mu's strength seems to be beyond imagination."
"No, it's impossible!" Lelio shook his head: "I sent someone to ask, Zhang Mu is still at level 38 in the clan rankings. This level is not even in the realm of Tianling. How could he have the ability to sneak into the Corner of Darkness? His lair, and when the Dark Corner made a huge noise, he retreated completely without leaving any traces?"
"What the deputy city lord means... is there an expert protecting and helping in secret?"
Lelio pondered for a moment, "Yole from Black Horn has fought against the opponent, which at least shows that this person has the strength of the heavenly spirit. It is currently impossible to determine who it is, and the possibility cannot be ruled out." He frowned, "Could it be Jose? Bei’s people…”
"what should we do?"
"Let's wait and see." Leo paused and continued: "We can find out the clues, and so can the Dark Corner. When it is discovered that the methods of killing the killer and those who attacked the castle are similar, what do you think the Dark Corner will do? ?”
"The vengeful people in the Dark Corner are very famous. They will definitely take revenge on Zhang Mu, and even take revenge on humans. Not to mention Zhang Mu, even the ordinary members of Huangquan will probably die."
"Yes, the Dark Corner is quite powerful. If it is really attacked, the mercenaries of Huangquan will never be able to resist. We only need to sit back and watch, and understand the situation first before taking action."
"The deputy city lord is wise!"
“…”
Although it was destined to be a sleepless night, the top mercenaries of Noire were furious and searched the streets for the murderer, which also caused an undercurrent among the city's top brass. However, all this seems to have nothing to do with the Huangquan mercenaries living on the outskirts of the city.
Zhang Mu returned with a full load, changed his disguise and said to Xie: "Thanks to your help for Xie's great achievements, otherwise it wouldn't have been so easy!"
Scorpion looked indifferent, without raising his head, just playing with a pair of sharp blue curved blades.
Zhang Mu has been with Xie for almost a year. Of course, he knows exactly what kind of character he is, and naturally he won't be angry. He laughed twice: "But it's surprising. You are obviously a killer. I didn't expect that your stealing skills are not necessarily bad at killing people." . The value of the items stolen today is comparable to that of an entire public warehouse. Your worth is probably higher than mine!"
Xie had no expression and silently took out the items, leaving only the weapon [Yin Touch Double Blade] and the skill [Great Dark True Art]. The rest of the items were left alone and handed to Zhang Mu.
"Although I am the boss, what is yours belongs to you, and I will not covet a word."
"It's my thing." Xie raised his head and said in a hoarse voice, "So I have the right to control it."
Of course Zhang Mu would not be pretentious, "Okay, since you are willing, I will write it down and make up for a large mercenary contribution for you." As he said that, he selected one item from the items, "This Thousand-Year Moon Essence is A good thing that can be used now, just in time for its use.”
The Millennium Moon Essence was put into a crystal container, which was about the thickness of an arm and about a foot long. It was filled with a silvery substance, whether it was a gas or a liquid, which emitted a dazzling light, as if the moonlight had been put directly into the container.
This is a very precious treasure.
The number is small, worth nearly ten million gold coins.
This was a big loss to the Dark Corner, but it was not enough to make Nangle furious.
The Millennium Moon Essence is extremely rare and cannot be bought with money.
Millennium Moon Essence is very mild, so it can be used directly. It not only greatly improves experience, but also increases strength. The strength of Ye Qianqiu, Xie, Leng Yun, and Lei Ming has already reached the late stage of the Earth Spirit. With the help of the Millennium Moon Spirit, they can achieve a huge breakthrough. With the help of the Chaos Inscription, they may become powerful Heaven Spirits in the near future.
Zhang Mu personally divided a tube of thousand-year moon essence into twelve branches.
"I'll try it first."
Zhang Mu opened it, leaned forward and sucked hard, and part of the thousand-year moon essence in the crystal test tube was sucked out. Zhang Mu felt an unprecedented sense of coolness and comfort, which first penetrated into his lungs and then spread throughout his body. Zhang Mu held his breath and felt that the pores all over his body stretched and silver light emitted from his body.
Thousand-year moon essence contains huge energy, but it does not cause any discomfort. It is easily absorbed by the body and converted into enhanced energy.
"It's so comfortable. It's a hundred times better than smoking the best tobacco!"
Zhang Mu not only felt physically and mentally comfortable, but his experience points were also increasing at a rapid rate.
When you finish sucking up a small tube of Millennium Moon Essence.
Zhang Mu directly rose to level 39, reaching 39% at the same time, and his strength has improved a lot. Thousand-year moon essence has miraculous effects on the realm of heavenly spirits, so it must be more ideal to use it on the realm of earthly spirits. Zhang Mu predicts that giving Xie, Ye Qianqiu, Lei Ming, and Leng Yun 2-3 will help them reach level 40.
This will at least save half a month of hard work in fighting monsters and upgrading.
When a character reaches level 40, all attributes will be greatly improved, and it will be much easier to reach the realm of Tianling. Although the human race has bottlenecks in the Tianling realm, it is much easier to break through the bottleneck than the alien races. As long as there are enough resources and certain adventures, every human has the opportunity to become a strong Tianling.
Zhang Mu gave Xie, Ye Qianqiu, and Lei Ming three Millennium Moon Essences, and Leng Yun gave two. Because Leng Yun had more experience than the three, two would be enough to reach level 40.
The four of them drank the Millennium Moon Essence that night, and as expected, they collectively rose to level 40, and were all ranked in the top ten of the human race ranking list. Zhang Mugao had just upgraded to a level, so he didn't lose much, so he stayed within the 15th place. . When the four people reached level 40, their strength improved significantly and reached the peak of the earth spirit.
Zhang Mu used the chaos inscription to make several people understand, and at the same time, he prepared a large number of pills and treasures to smash. Soon, like Zhang Mu, he would become a strong heavenly spirit.
At present, among the human race group, except for Huang Quan, there is probably not a single powerful person from the heavenly spirit.
Not only was one born in Huangquan, but there were several quasi-celestial spirit masters, who were also close to the realm of heavenly spirits.
"Old Ye, this gun is called [Dragon Killer] and was given to you by Xie Xie." Zhang Mu handed a blood-red spear to Ye Qianqiu, "It is a good gun, far better than the Glacier Sword by several levels. I think there aren’t many weapons in Zhonghai City that can surpass it!”
Ye Qianqiu unceremoniously equipped himself with the dragon-slaying spear, which was about nine feet long. It was red all over, with the faint roar of a dragon, and was surrounded by a heavy layer of murderous aura. The room was filled with the smell of blood, as if he was on a battlefield where corpses were everywhere. This is definitely a magic weapon at this stage. Ye Qianqiu's damage ability is higher than Zhang Mu's. With this gun in hand, no one can defeat it.
"Thanks."
Ye Qianqiu said something blankly.
Zhang Mu was a little surprised. Ye Qianqiu, who had always been cold and arrogant, actually said thank you, which was impressive. It showed that he loved this gun very much. Scorpion is also equipped with a level 40 dark gold weapon [Yin Touch Double Blade]. As a high-grade dark gold equipment worth more than one million, its power is unquestionable.
The two of them reached level 40, and accidentally obtained the best weapons. Although they were at the peak of the Earth Spirit's strength, their combat power was stronger than that of the Third Rank of the Snow Alliance. If they teamed up, they could completely compete with a strong Heavenly Spirit.
Lei Ming said to Zhang Mu: "Things were too big today. It is said that you also had a fight with the leader of the Black Horn mercenary group, Nile, in Black Horn Castle?"
Zhang Mu nodded: "That guy is in the middle stage of Tianling. He has some abilities and is slightly stronger than me. But if he uses his trump card and goes all out, he may not be able to beat me."
"Your combat characteristics must have been mastered by the Black Horn mercenaries." Lei Ming frowned and said: "After a brief analysis by the Black Horn mercenaries, it is not difficult to connect them to you."
"So what?"
Zhang Mu is not afraid of the Dark Corner, because the Dark Corner itself has many shady places, and he does not dare to be too presumptuous in Zhonghai City. Zhang Mu already knows who is behind the scenes, and he also knows the dark corners of darkness.
In fact, there are many ways to deal with the Corner of Darkness.
It's just that the Dark Corner is nothing but a gunman.
The deputy city lord behind him is too troublesome.
"I will report to the Investigation Bureau tomorrow." Zhang Mu said to everyone: "My position is the detachment leader, and I can probably manage an investigation detachment. According to the rules of Zhonghai City, the official position reaches the level of detachment leader, and two people are recommended to join the army. Quota. Xie, Ye Qianqiu, you will join the investigation bureau."
Zhang Mu took his two strongest subordinates into the investigation bureau.
Xie Xie and Ye Qianqiu can fight against a strong Heavenly Spirit. Zhang Mu is a strong Heavenly Spirit himself, but it is really incredible that he can succumb to a small investigation detachment.
"As for the others staying in Zhonghai City, Lei Ming is responsible for buying a large amount of materials so that everyone can directly improve their strength without hunting monsters for the time being. We must hide our capabilities and bide our time and gradually improve the overall strength of the team."
