Four Skills for All.

July 18th, early morning.

With departure imminent, Mo Xiu packed his things. There was a lot to prepare for this trip into the beast territory, but it was best to travel light.

Neither Xi Bei nor Tang Lao gave any instructions. This time, the group had to figure out almost everything on their own.

Carrying too much stuff would inevitably arouse suspicion, so Mo Xiu only brought that bottle of medicine, kept Black Phosphorus and Tang Lao's diary close to his body, and nothing else.

As for food and other consumables, there's no need to bring them. You can easily buy them in human territories along the way. Once you enter the territory of wild beasts, you'll have to adapt to local customs, otherwise how can you lie in wait?

Mo Xiu went directly to the rooftop connected to the bronze mirror to wait for the others to arrive, as arranged beforehand.

A person stood on the rooftop, glanced at the time, and realized there was still half an hour left; it seemed they had arrived too early.

Reaching the edge of this enormous rooftop, one can survey the entire royal family from here. I was quite awestruck by the sight when I first came here.

Looking back now, I still feel shocked, but this time the reason for the shock is different.

Previously, I was awestruck by the grandeur of the royal palace. This time, I am amazed that such a large royal space, with buildings that can be refreshed, is actually Lao Bai's skill.

According to her mother, before she escaped from the royal family, the royal family space was not like this; there weren't so many tall buildings, and the exits weren't so well hidden.

In other words, over the past ten years, Lao Bai's skills have been upgraded.

What kind of motivation is supporting Lao Bai?

His body should have run out of oil long ago, yet he's still honing his skills and continuously improving the royal space.

This time, Tang Lao came back not only to see himself, but also to visit his three old friends who are in charge of management.

When Tang Lao explains everything, and when the entire royal family is mobilized to fight the enemy, how long can Lao Bai and Lao Du hold out?

What will Old Master You do after losing his dearest friend?

Mo Xiu guessed correctly; Old Tang had three things to do upon his return this time.

The first thing to do is to meet Mo Xiu and hand over the diary to him.

The second thing was to visit old friends and catch up.

There's a third thing that Old Tang is currently doing...

"Mo Xiu! You're here so early!"

Mo Xiu snapped out of his daze, turned around, and saw Xi Jinping and Wang Qishan.

Xi Jinping's education and personality are perfectly suited to fighting wild beasts, and he has likely been preparing for this since childhood.

He always considers human interests in everything he does, even in his battle with Mo Xiu, he considers who is stronger when fighting beasts.

He was the person Mo Xiu trusted and relied on the most in the entire team. Mo Xiu even felt that sometimes his decisions were more correct than his own.

Because he considers many things and takes into account various factors, while Xi and Wang do not; they only do things that benefit humanity.

Mo Xiu anticipated that once they entered the beast's territory, the group of seven would be a rather large target, and they would likely split up in the early stages. Xi Wang was the best candidate to lead the other team.

Like Mo Xiu, Xi and Wang traveled light, seemingly carrying even less than Mo Xiu.

Xi and Wang are good teammates, but not good friends. People like him, who have almost no selfish desires, are boring and difficult to communicate with.

The two stood side by side, not chatting, and Mo Xiu and he didn't have much to talk about.

The third person to arrive was Rongbang.

Rongbang is key to this mission; he can become completely invisible, and as long as one is careful, it is difficult to be detected.

He was the most convenient person to gather intelligence.

The fourth is Nong Zhang.

Nong Zhang shaved his beard and cut his hair, looking like he had dressed up carefully. He not only didn't look sloppy anymore, but he also looked quite handsome.

Rongbang and Nongzhang both chose to travel light, with Nongzhang taking nothing but the bottle of medicine.

Rongbang carried a small backpack. He could become invisible, so carrying a backpack was nothing unusual for him.

Next up are Li Ling'er and Zhuge Zhong.

The two came together, and seeing Li Ling'er's satisfied expression, Mo Xiu didn't know what to say.

Zhuge Zhong was carrying a backpack, which was said to contain all the necessities, but Mo Xiu didn't ask any further questions.

Although Li Ling'er was a woman, she carried nothing. As an assassin, agility was ingrained in her bones.

Bailey was the last to arrive.

Unlike everyone else, Bailey came up with two suitcases.

Mo Xiu looked on with a headache, and as Bailey approached, he asked, "What's in those two suitcases? We shouldn't be bringing too much stuff!"

Bailey nodded and said calmly, "I know, that's why I've reduced my workload to this level."

Mo Xiu said, "Bringing so many things is definitely not going to work. We're not going on vacation. If you're carrying two suitcases, we'll be exposed as soon as we enter the beast territory."

Bailey still harbored resentment about Mo Xiu kicking her butt, but in this situation, Mo Xiu was the captain, and she could tell what was more important, so she didn't retaliate.

She said, sounding aggrieved, "These are all my spare clothes and useful things. How about this, I'll bring less, one suitcase, okay?"

Mo Xiu shook his head; clearly, it still wouldn't work.

Bailey had a tearful face and hesitated for a long time, seemingly after making a difficult decision.

"Then I'll just get a backpack like the one Zhuge Zhong carried, okay?"

Mo Xiu shook his head again, pointing at Rong Bang and saying, "You can carry a backpack like Rong Bang's."

Bailey, unable to bear it any longer, pointed at Mo Xiu and cursed, "Mo Xiu, you brat, I've already given you a lot of face, don't push your luck! Zhuge Zhong can carry a big bag, why can't I? Rong Bang's bag can only hold one piece of clothing."

Mo Xiu replied, "Zhuge Zhong is our doctor, which is also our logistics officer. He's bringing extra supplies just in case. What's the use of you bringing so many clothes? We're on a mission outside the wild beasts' territory, which is extremely dangerous. It's not like we're going to a beauty pageant!"

Bailey persisted, saying, "Are you saying I'm ungrateful?"

Mo Xiu smiled and nodded, saying, "That's roughly the idea!"

"I disagree!"

"Okay, since some team members and the captain have differing opinions, let's hold a vote."

······

High in the sky, Mo Xiu summoned the Holy Sword and carried several people, while Xi Wang and Nong Zhang could fly on their own.

This time, they chose to fly over to avoid the possibility of spies within human territory spreading the news.

It can also evade the sight of wild beasts and directly enter their territory.

Few wild beasts can fly; the main group, the Phoenix Clan, lives in the south, and the probability of them being spotted in the air is very small.

The seven people were filled with anticipation for the mission, as wild beasts were very mysterious to this generation.

Only one person was unhappy, and that was Bailey, who was carrying a small bag.

The more she looked at the small bag in front of her, the angrier she became. In the vote just now, not a single person supported her; they all supported Mo Xiu's decision.

She felt isolated!
