The half step forwards, after turning around a corner, immediately sees the source of sound. 石牧心中一动。快步向前,在拐过一个街角后,立刻看到了声音的源头。 Four wear the person of beast robe.

An old man of full head white hair, under supporting by the arm of thin and small man, passes through from Shi Mu anxious hurriedly. 就在此时。一个满头白发的老者,在一个瘦小男子的搀扶下,从石牧身边急匆匆走过。 Eyes that slope outwards man complexion sinks, turns the head to look at the gray-haired old man, on the face completely not the anti- color. 三角眼男子面色一沉,转头看着头发花白的老者,脸上满是不耐之色。 „To the envoy, please spare and not punish too severely, put their horse, this town/subdues already did not have many young adult male, if they walked again, perhaps this remaining town/subdues family members, must starve to death.” The senior mayor of full head white hair points at the young man who was tying up, with entreaty language gas channel/angrily said. “向使者,请你高抬贵手,放了他们一马吧,本镇已经没多少青壮男丁了,如果他们再一走,这剩下的一镇老小,恐怕都得饿死啊。”满头白发的老镇长指着被捆绑住的青壮男子,用哀求的语气道。 „Old thing, this reward we were already provided according to two times, one point will not be short of you, now above urges tightly, the these person I must carry off!” The eyes that slope outwards man said. “老东西,这报酬我们可是已经按两倍发放了,一分也不会少你们,如今上面催得紧,这些人我必须带走！”三角眼男子道。 „I do not want your money, gives back to me my husband!” “我不要你们的钱,把我的丈夫还给我！” „Do not take away my son!” “别带走我的儿子啊！” ...... …… The senior mayor of full head white hair implored urgently again, surrounding old and weak woman ru was also weeping sound one piece. 满头白发的老镇长再次苦苦哀求,周围的老弱妇嬬也是哭声一片。 The eyes that slope outwards man actually remains unmoved slightly, shoves open to grasp several women of his thigh, while urged several other people to lead the person to start off a bit faster. 三角眼男子却是丝毫不为所动,一边推开抱住他大腿的几名妇女,一边催促另外几人快点带人上路。 „To the Sir, has to be in the way!” Suddenly, a beast robe man said. “向大人,有个挡路的！”突然,其中一名兽袍男子道。 The eyes that slope outwards man is startled, raised the head to proceed to look. 三角眼男子一怔,抬头往前看去。 Sees only tall and sturdy, on the shoulder is standing a Parrot black garment youth, does not know when appeared on the paths of several people of leading the way, unemotional visits him, was Shi Mu. 只见一个人高马大,肩膀上站着一个鹦鹉的黑衫青年,不知何时出现在了几人前行的道路上,正面无表情的看着他,正是石牧。 The senior mayor of full head white hair stunned looks at Shi Mu, these kneel down old, weak, sick, and disabled, with a face angry tied up young also somewhat is startled the god. 满头白发的老镇长愕然的看着石牧,那些跪倒在地的老弱病残,和一脸愤怒的被绑青壮也有些怔神。 „Your excellency is seemingly unfamiliar, is external?” The eyes that slope outwards man sized up Shi Mu, exploratory asking. “阁下看起来面生,是外来的吧？”三角眼男子打量了一下石牧,试探性的问道。 „Lets loose them!” Shi Mu has not spoken, Parrot of shoulder actually opened the mouth. “放开他们！”石牧没有说话,肩头的鹦鹉却开口了。 „I advised politely your excellency should better, no matter our beast mountain sect others 's business, invited trouble carefully.” The eyes that slope outwards man is startled, immediately the corner of the eye twitches, the tone raised several skip roads. “我奉劝阁下最好不管我们兽山宗的闲事,小心惹祸上身。”三角眼男子一怔,随即眼角一抽搐,语气抬高了几分道。 „Go away!” Had Shi Mu still moved, said: “滚！”石牧仍是一动未动,道: „Courts death!” “找死！” The eyes that slope outwards man flies into a rage, washes one's hands of the long spear/gun, on the spear's/gun's body shines azure light immediately, the spear head shivers rapidly, suddenly sound air-splitting rings out, the swift and fierce astral wind heads on. 三角眼男子勃然大怒,一抖手中的长枪,枪身上立刻亮起一阵青光,枪头急速地颤动起来,一时间嗤嗤的破空声大作,凌厉的罡风扑面而来。 Spear head place azure cold glow in three chi (0.33 m) space strange flashes to keep, forms a giant azure wolf head quickly, the eyes that slope outwards man figure proceeds to throw, the wolf head bit to Shi Mu. 枪头处青色寒芒在三尺空间内诡异的闪动不停,很快形成一个巨大的青色狼头,三角眼男子身形往前一扑,狼头就向石牧咬了过来。 The behind three beast robe men also threw to Shi Mu, in their hands long spear/gun sharply trembles, forms three small 1st hammers quickly.

Piece of white light sends out from him on hand, condenses shell at the same time in outside the body pale blue protects the shield instantaneously. Protects the shield above innumerable White Rune circulations continuous. 石牧在枪头离自己不足咫尺距离时,嘴唇微动。一片白光从他手边散发而出,瞬间在体外凝聚成一面贝壳般的月白护盾。护盾上面无数白色符文流转不休。 „Rumble” an explosive! “轰隆隆”一阵爆响！ Four ruthless in pale blue protect on the shield to hit, immediately explodes, dozens cold glow stroke unceasingly on protecting the shield, the air wave scatters in all directions to start. 四个狠头在月白护盾上一撞,立刻爆裂开来,数十道寒芒不断击打在护盾上,气浪四散而开。 Pale blue protects the shield is actually calm. 月白护盾却是波澜不惊。 Has not waited for four people to make other actions, Shi Mu mouth, four white clouds shot, flashes to strike toward four people of chest positions that passes. 未等四人做出其他举动,石牧口一张,四股白气就射了出来,一闪即逝的朝四人胸口位置击去。 This is his tried to find out all the way the Qi Bursting Technique latest usage, saves certain Magic Power in within the body.
