Please give me a chance to be a straight man

The next day, when Shen Xu arrived at Baishou Mountain, Zhou Hang, the monks from the Zhou clan, and a few casual cultivators hired by them had already arrived.Seeing that Shen Xu was clearly late and still looked unhurried, everyone was a little dissatisfied on their faces.

Zhou Hang didn't want to cause everyone's unhappiness before he set off, so he quickly explained, "Actually, Fellow Daoist Shen told me in advance yesterday that something might be late, but I forgot it. I'm really sorry everyone."

The host had spoken, and the casual cultivators naturally didn't dare to complain, but the young man from the Zhou family was unhappy after hearing this, "Zhou Hang, you can't even do such a small thing well, how can you be my candidate for the head of the Zhou family?" Human responsibility? I think it’s better to let father think about it more.”

Zhou Hang's face turned pale when he heard the words, and said in a low voice, "Young Master taught me the lesson."

Hundred Beast Mountain is famous for its many monsters, so in order to prevent monsters from making trouble, magic circles were arranged at several entrances of Hundred Beast Mountain.Each magic circle is guarded by Jindan stage monks. If you want to enter the mountain, you must get a jade card to enter the magic circle in advance.What worried Shen Xu more was that not only was there a fee for this jade token, but it also required a hundred low-grade spirit stones.

Shen Xu rummaged through the storage bag to get enough eighty spirit stones, so he had no choice but to ask Zhou Hang to pay for it first with a shy face.It was the first time for Zhou Yang, the young master of the Zhou Clan, to see someone as poor as Shen Xu among the disciples of the Great Sect, and the expression of contempt on his face couldn't have been more obvious.

Shen Xu was too lazy to be as knowledgeable as a kid, so he walked at the end of the line and listened to a few casual cultivators gossip.

"Hey, have you guys heard about it? A while ago, puppet corpses appeared in the Beast Mountain, which hurt many monks in a row!"

"I know, I heard that even the disciples of Tianxuanzong were killed!"

"It stands to reason that the activities of this puppet are all controlled by the ghost cultivator. Could it be that there is a demon cultivator's lair in the Hundred Beast Mountain?"

The other casual cultivators shook their heads in disbelief.Seeing that they were having a lively chat, Shen Xu wanted to listen to them, so he moved over.

Seeing Shen Xu approaching, several people chose to ignore him tacitly.Seeing this, Shen Xu quickly turned on the mode of flirting and flattering, which made the complexions of several casual cultivators better.Among them, Chen Feng, the oldest one, started to call Shen Xu brothers and sisters.

After almost a day of driving, the group finally reached the middle of Baishou Mountain before sunset.The closer the Hundred Beast Mountain is to the center, the colder the climate and the greater the risk factor.So in recent years, even Jindan stage monks rarely dared to enter the interior of Hundred Beast Mountain.The three-headed green python that Shen Xu and the others wanted to capture happened to be at the intersection of the middle and the interior, so one could imagine the degree of danger.

Seeing that it was getting late, Zhou Hang arranged for everyone to rest, and began to set up defensive formations around himself.Seeing that Zhou Hang himself was busy there, but he was chatting with people here, Shen Xu felt a little sorry.So he got up and walked towards Zhou Hang.

After Zhou Hang completed the third magic circle, his spiritual power was running out, and he was planning to take some pills to rest before continuing.Suddenly a golden magic circle lit up beside him, and he looked in surprise, Shen Xu was scrambling to set up the magic circle while eating with puffed cheeks.Seeing Zhou Hang looking over, Shen Xu rolled his eyes and smiled.

Shen Xu was handsome and had a pair of peach blossom eyes. Every time he smiled, his eyes would bend into two small crescents, and the waves in his eyes flowed gently, making people feel close to him.

Zhou Hang was about to thank Shen Xu, when Shen Xu's face suddenly turned red and his expression became ferocious.

Zhou Hang thought he had been poisoned and hurried over, but Shen Xu just tugged on his sleeve, and it took him a long time to hold back a sentence, "Give me water...I'm a little choked."

In the early morning of the second day, Shen Xu and his party continued to march towards the interior of Baishou Mountain.This time they did not advance as smoothly as the first day, and encountered many monsters along the way.But fortunately, these monsters are of low rank, so it's easy for everyone to deal with them.

Zhou Yang looked at the corpses of many monsters on the ground, and put his sword back into its sheath with disdain, "I thought I would have a chance to practice in Baishou Mountain this time, but I didn't expect the fighting power of the monsters here to be so weak. disappoint others."

When Shen Xu heard it, his heart skipped a beat, the flag of a young man can't be set up randomly!

Shen Xu hadn't finished shouting in his heart when the temperature around him dropped suddenly, and layers of mist filled them from all directions.

Zhou Hang quickly ordered to the surrounding Zhou disciples, "Protect the young master!"

Zhou's disciples got the order and quickly formed a circle to protect Zhou Yang.

Compared to Zhou's disciples who were facing a formidable enemy, Shen Xu and several other experienced casual cultivators were relatively calm.Because they know what causes the fog.

"It's the Frost Wolf." Chen Feng said suddenly

Zhou Yang obviously didn't believe it, "Although the ice wolves pass by, there will be fog, but they have always appeared in groups and often moved in the interior of Baishou Mountain. Now it is only in the middle of the mountain. How could they appear here?"

"Maybe they felt that their lives were in danger and fled here?"

Zhou Yang looked at Shen Xu, "What do you mean?"

Shen Xu raised his chin in Zhou Hang's direction, "I'm going to ask him, is it really as simple as asking us monks to come to Baishou Mountain just to hunt three green pythons?"

Zhou Yang looked at Zhou Hang and waited for his explanation. Zhou Hang smiled awkwardly, and was about to speak when a dozen or so ice wolves suddenly appeared in the mist, heading straight for Zhou Yang and the others!

Zhou Hang drew out his saber, and shouted to the Zhou clan around him, "Lay out the array of light!"

The heavy light array can be regarded as the Zhou family's more effective array. If no one makes a array, gathering spiritual power on the person at the eye of the array can exert a power that exceeds five times.However, the disadvantages are also obvious. The person who activates this burst of eyes will consume a huge amount of spiritual power in a short period of time. If an accident occurs at this time, the consequences may be unimaginable.

Fortunately, Zhou Hang had asked Shen Xu and the others for help, so he was not unprepared.

Before Shen Xu came to Baishou Mountain, he deliberately found a lot of knowledge about monsters and various spiritual plants from the system, so he didn't panic when he saw a group of menacing ice wolves.

The Frost Wolf is an ice-type monster known for its swiftness and sharp minions.Although the ice wolves are not considered as monsters with high bloodline talent, because they always move in groups and the places they go are often filled with fog, so sometimes Jindan stage monks can't handle them when they encounter them.

It will take some time for Zhou Hang and the others to set up the formation, but the ice wolves will not be so stupid that when they finish setting up the formation, more than a dozen ice wolves stared directly at Shen Xu and the crowd with their scarlet eyes. Like a thunderbolt, the wolf rushed towards several disciples of the Zhou family with lower cultivation levels from all directions.

The disciples of the Zhou family were shocked when they saw this, but they were forming a formation and could not move. Seeing that the ice wolf's bloody mouth was about to bite their necks fiercely, a silver light suddenly flashed past, and several ice wolves The wolf immediately howled and fell to the ground.

All the disciples looked at their savior gratefully, who knew that this person ignored them at all, turned around and fought with other ice wolves, and shouted at other loose cultivators while fighting, "Hey, Brother Chen, Frost wolves' furs are very valuable, you should save yourself a few swords!"

"Li Daoyou, on the left! The ice wolf on the left seems to be a mutated ice spirit root, and its beast core is a good defense against fire attribute spells!"

"Friend Wang Dao..."

Several casual cultivators were so annoyed by Shen Xu that they couldn't kill him, so they had to vent their anger on the Frost Wolf.So much so that Zhou Hang and the others had just finished setting up the magic circle, and the Frost Wolves had been completely wiped out.

Zhou's disciples looked at Zhou Hang blankly, Zhou Hang had no choice but to shake his head and smile.

After carve up the bits and pieces of the Frost Wolf, Shen Xu felt that he was like a poor farmer turning over and going straight to a well-off life.

Zhou Yang looked at Shen Xu's happy face holding the storage bag, and snorted coldly, "You look poor."

When Shen Xu heard this, he didn't choose to ignore it like before, but walked in front of Zhou Yang expressionlessly.Seeing Shen Xu's serious expression and cold eyes, Zhou Yang subconsciously swallowed, took a small step back and then tickled his neck and said forcefully, "What do you want?! I'm your employer, do you still want to fight with me? !"

Unexpectedly, Shen Xu suddenly took out a piece of pine nut candy from the storage bag and put it in Zhou Yang's hands, "You are so young and have such an unforgiving mouth, I think it's better to eat a piece of candy to calm down."

After finishing speaking, Shen Xu unceremoniously stuffed pine nut candy into Zhou Yang's mouth.Zhou Yang frowned and patted Shen Xu's hand away. He lowered his head and wanted to spit out the pine nut candy, but found that the taste was not bad.

"How about it? Does it taste good? This is Guixiangfang's special pine nut candy. I bought it after waiting in line for a long time. If you like it, I have a few more."

Zhou Yang felt that Shen Xu's actions were obviously coaxing him into treating him like a child, so he gave Shen Xu a hard look, then flung his sleeves and left.

It was the first time for the disciples of the Zhou family to see their young master in such a desperate state but had nowhere to vent his anger. The admiration for Shen Xu in his heart was comparable to that of a Golden Core cultivator.

Seeing that Shen Xu didn't have any conflict with Zhou Yang, Zhou Hang heaved a sigh of relief, then took out the map of Hundred Beast Mountain and began to study it.

Seeing this, Shen Xu came over, "I said Fellow Daoist Zhou, it seems that you are about to enter the interior of Baishou Mountain, can you tell us your real purpose?"

The other casual cultivators also looked at Zhou Hang after hearing the words.When Zhou Hang invited them back then, they were not without doubts. After all, the reward Zhou Hang gave was much richer than hunting a three-headed green python.But there is no good thing in this world, and they have been wandering abroad for many years, so they naturally understand this truth better.

Seeing that Shen Xu and the others were looking at him with burning eyes, Zhou Hang was silent for a while and finally said, "This time we came to Baishou Mountain not only to hunt the three-headed green python, but also a real purpose, to find people."
