Mu Xue and Mu Xue

Lin Mo couldn't help but find the scene before him a bit absurd. His silly sister was actually conversing with a tiny insect; the sight was hilarious. If someone else had seen this, they'd probably burst out laughing. Yet, for children, such innocence was perfectly natural. They were always filled with boundless imaginations, fantasizing about communicating with small animals and insects.

"Xue'er, I have completed the arrangement of the formation, we can set off!" Lin Mo shouted loudly, reminding Mu Xue who was talking to the insects.

"Okay!" Mu Xue replied cheerfully. She finished chatting with the bugs and turned to run towards Lin Mo. Before leaving, Mu Xue pulled out some food from her bosom, gently placed it on the ground, and said gently to the bugs, "Okay, these are for you to enjoy. I'm leaving now. I'll come to play with you next time! Bye!" With that, Mu Xue stood up and skipped along to catch up with Lin Mo.

Mu Xue followed her brother away, and Lin Mo didn't realize that after they left, the insects seemed to understand Mu Xue's words and worked together to move away the food Mu Xue left behind. Maybe it was just a coincidence, but it also might mean something...

After returning to the city, the two randomly found a noodle shop that Lin Mo didn't recognize and sat down in an empty corner. They each ordered a bowl of noodles. After the waiter left, they looked around to see if there was anyone around, then took off their headscarves that concealed their identities and began to eat their noodles.

After finishing the meal, seeing that nothing unexpected had happened, Lin Mo finally felt relieved. After the two of them disguised themselves again, they returned to their residence.

After returning to their residence, Lin Mo continued to work on his magic circle, while Mu Xue found a new hobby - reading Journey to the West. To be more precise, she became fascinated by the character of Sun Wukong, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven.

Sun Wukong's fearlessness captivated her. He was fearless, daring to take on all odds and challenges, even wreaking havoc in the Heavenly Palace and challenging the gods. This courage and daring evoked a yearning in Mu Xue, as if she had glimpsed a deep desire of her own.

Mu Xue also admired Sun Wukong's unwavering loyalty. He devoted himself to Tang Sanzang, protecting his master on his quest for Buddhist scriptures, and despite all the hardships he faced, he never once flinched. This loyalty and perseverance only endeared Mu Xue to Sun Wukong even more.

Just like that, little by little, a week passed quickly. During this week, Muxue finished reading Journey to the West. She finished the whole book in a week, and she felt a sense of accomplishment.

Lin Mo would set up the magic circle he had prepared every few days. Even if there was no beast tide to attack the magic circle, it could still be retrieved.

At noon that day, Mu Xue was bored and looking for other books to read, but suddenly, she felt the ground shaking violently, as if the whole world was about to collapse. Lin Mo also immediately noticed the abnormality, quickly disguised himself, and took Mu Xue away from the house to prevent the house from collapsing and burying them.

At this moment, a man dressed in soldier's uniform ran while shouting loudly: "Everyone be alert! Everyone be alert! A large number of demons have appeared outside the city! A large number of demons have appeared outside the city! Be prepared! Be prepared..."

Lin Mo frowned and sighed in his heart: "The beast tide has finally arrived!" He turned his head to look at Mu Xue beside him, but was surprised to find that she had already walked towards their predetermined defense point.

Two days ago...

"Everyone, remember, if a beast tide attacks, go to the designated location as I indicated and resist the demons." Lin Mo drew a circle on the ground to represent the city wall and marked five points where defenses needed to be deployed. Then he said, "Two people in a group. Mu Xue and I will be in one, and the rest of you can form your own teams."

After Lin Mo found out that Mu Xue had left, he immediately followed her. When he caught up, he realized that it was no longer Mu Xue, but her sister Mu Xue!

When the two men arrived at the city wall, they found that there were many soldiers on the wall holding bows and arrows and shooting at the bottom of the wall.

Mu Xue jumped onto the city wall in three or two jumps, and Lin Mo followed closely behind. They didn't have time to slowly climb the ladder to the city wall.

After climbing up the city wall, both of them were shocked by the sight before them - some of these monsters had human heads and snake bodies, some looked like a big bear with thick skin and flesh but had a long tail, and some were actually werewolves like the Red Wolf, but he was gray... All kinds of strange-looking monsters gathered together, which was creepy.

After climbing onto the city wall, he discovered that the sword-killing formation had been activated. Within the formation's range, sword energy was constantly dancing. The sword energy of the sword-killing formation was not flying one by one, but a terrifying fifty sword energies that were constantly dancing back and forth! Although Lin Mo had killed demons before, he had never seen such a tragic scene, and it immediately gave him goose bumps.

The weak demons in the formation were cut into pieces by the flying sword energy, while the slightly stronger ones kept jumping around to dodge, and those who failed to dodge had their limbs cut off by the sword energy. Some only had some minor scratches, and used their physical fitness to withstand the sword energy to pass through the sword killing formation. Some were even smarter and passed through the gap between the sword killing formation and another one.

Mu Xue summoned the Purple Thunder Holy Bow and shot it at the demons who were trying to penetrate the sword killing array because of their high physical strength. Mu Xue's attack on these demons was simply a dimensionality reduction attack. Every time he pulled the bow and released the arrow, a demon would die. Sometimes he could kill two or three demons with one arrow.

Lin Mo took out his sword and kept waving it. Several sword energies flew towards the same demon. The demon targeted by Lin Mo's sword energy was instantly broken into several pieces!

These demons seemed endless, and they kept coming out from the woods behind him. They were running and roaring, as if they had great resentment in their hearts that they wanted to vent in this way.

Suddenly, a pool of red liquid flew towards the city wall from a distance, so fast that it caught people off guard. One of the soldiers holding a bow and arrow was hit by the red liquid before he could even react.

The soldier who was hit immediately began to make a crackling sound, as if something was eating away at his body. He screamed in pain, clearly having suffered great damage.

Fortunately, the pool of red liquid only hit one of his legs. If it had hit his torso or head, Lin Mo couldn't imagine how tragic the scene would have been!

Lin Mo quickly ordered a nearby soldier to take him down for treatment. Then, he quickly pulled out a healing array from his pocket and threw it toward the inner city wall. Instantly, the area was enveloped in a pink light.

"Hurry up and help him into the light below. His injuries can be healed there!" Lin Mo said anxiously to the soldier beside him. He then turned around and plunged into the fierce battle with the demon once again.
