Zhong Hou silently wiped his tears in his heart, and at the same time, his head was turning rapidly.

Since the matter is a foregone conclusion, he naturally has to try his best to turn the disadvantage into an advantage, and the worst thing must be minimized to the greatest extent.

Except for the quest related to the Wind Volcanic Forest, no other quest can be selected. For the fledgling Zhong Hou, there are too many unknown factors and too much risk, so don't lose your life when the task is not complete.

Even if it is a task related to the Wind Volcanic Forest, he can't just choose it, because his familiarity with the Wind Volcanic Forest is also very limited, and the risk is still not small.

Zhong Hou suddenly remembered that Xia Luoyi had the task information in his hand, and instead of trying his luck, it was better to study the information carefully before making a decision.

Anyway, in order to find clues about the problem with the monkey wine source, these tasks must be done sooner or later.

As for whether it will make the second generation of repairers misunderstand that he wants to delay time.

Zhong Hou can only hehe, how to think about love.

After figuring it out, Zhong Hou glanced at the second generation of cultivators, and then said loudly: "Originally, I came here to do a task, and I was just ready to study what task is suitable for me, and you appeared." Now I need to pick up on what I didn't finish, and you can wait here for what you can't, and take care of yourself if you can't.

But let me warn you, your bet has already been lost, so don't come to harass Charlotte and me in the future. ”

"Who says you've won, but you haven't won yet. ”

"That's right, if you don't dare to take on the task, it means that you are just quibbling, and that you are here to make trouble. ”

"Yes, don't think you'll get through the time by delaying, we'll just wait here. ”

"If you dare to take on the task, we will naturally admit defeat. Anyway, it's you who loses. ”

"Don't say I didn't remind you, don't think that taking on a task casually can be perfunctory, and if you don't complete the task, you will also be punished, this is set up by the sect in order to prevent some disciples from taking on tasks indiscriminately if they are eager for quick success and greedy for merit. ”

'Eager for quick success and greedy for merit' naturally meant something, but Zhong Hou ignored it and said, "Since you are willing to wait, then wait here, don't affect me." ”

After that, Zhong Hou stopped paying attention to the second generation of cultivators and began to look through the stack of materials that Xia Luoyi had just handed over.

The information book has been prepared, if it weren't for a group of second-generation cultivators who came out to disrupt the situation, Zhong Hou might have been studying it slowly at home.

And the two of them are now grasshoppers on a rope, even if Xia Luoyi has an idea in her heart, it is impossible to dismantle the thick platform at this moment.

There is a lot of information, and it took Zhong Hou a lot of time to single out the task information related to the wind volcanic forest.

According to the data, there are a total of 268 tasks related to the Wind Volcanic Forest, of which 267 tasks are of the same nature, either hunting a certain demon beast to obtain a certain material on the demon beast, or looking for some kind of natural treasure, both of which belong to treasure hunting tasks.

Since the water source problem is related to the water quality, the task of hunting monsters can be eliminated first, and it is not touched at all.

The remaining task of finding genius earth treasures, according to Zhong Hou's analysis and judgment, may not be related to the water source problem.

The genius treasures that need to be sent out to find have their own peculiarities, and they are not the kind of regular road goods.

Water problems are not a matter of a day or two, but a process that continues to decrease slowly. That being the case, there must be something that has always existed, but for some reason is slowly and continuously decreasing.

The amount of such stuff should be so large that it would not change the quality of a river.

With such a large number, this kind of thing should be very common, and there is no need to deliberately post a task to find it at all.

This is a conclusion that Zhong Hou summed up after reading all the information in his hand.

Among the two hundred and sixty-eight tasks, there is only one alternative, which is to investigate the mystery of the large-scale mysterious disappearance of demon beasts above level 2 on the periphery of the Wind Volcanic Forest once every hundred years.

Don't think about it, this must be related to the Quenching Yang Spring in the mouth of the lion.

Closing the information, Zhong Hou frowned dissatisfied, and came back to Xia Luoyi and asked, "Are there any other tasks related to the Wind Volcanic Forest?"

Xia Luoyi said a little strangely: "No, that's all." With so many tasks, you can't pick a suitable one? ”

Zhong Hou waved his hand, interrupted the other party's words, and said, "It's not that I can't pick it out, I just want to know if there are others." I have my reasons, if you know, please tell me. ”

Xia Luoyi thought seriously for a while, and then said uncertainly: "That's all for the free tasks related to the Wind Volcanic Forest, but I have the impression that there are still a few designated tasks of the sect related to the Wind Volcano Forest. I don't know the details, because I haven't done it, you can go back to the outer door and ask someone, maybe you know better. ”

Hearing this, Zhong Hou's eyes lit up, and after saying thank you, he was ready to turn around and leave.

"How? Want to escape?"

The second generation of cultivators waited for a long time, and they already had a fire in their hearts, where to allow Zhong Hou to escape under their noses.

Zhong Hou slapped his head and almost forgot about it.

He was too lazy to talk nonsense with these second-generation repairers, so he went directly to the task handover and went through the formalities with the service staff at the counter.

It's just that after a while, the second generation of cultivators saw that Zhong Hou hadn't finished it yet, and said impatiently: "It's a long time to go through all the formalities, you don't want to bribe, and you're going to collude with the other party to make perjury to deceive me." With so many pairs of eyes watching, you might as well save on such inferior means... ”

All eyes on the scene were on Zhong Hou and the service staff, waiting for their response.

However, the two seem to be in another world, and they are ignorant of what is happening in the outside world.

After another half a ring, the two exhaled heavily and said in unison, "It's finally good." ”

Hearing this, everyone at the scene widened their eyes and pricked up their ears.

Could it be that the two are really plotting something?

Bribery, collusion, perjury?

That's impossible.

It's because it's impossible, everyone wonders, what are the two of them doing for a long time just now?

"What happened to you two just now? Why did it take so long? What did he just do? Or were you just acting and didn't do anything at all?"

Zhuang Shisan didn't bother to wait for Zhong Hou to explain, and ran over directly to ask the service staff.

He was also afraid, if he asked two more words and was scolded by Zhong Hou, he would be embarrassed and thrown to his grandmother's house.

"Wait for me to slow down... The waiter just wanted to drink a sip of water, calm down, and then continue.

But before the water reached his mouth, he was beaten off by Zhuang Shisan: "What kind of water are you drinking, hurry up." ”

The waiter was frightened by Zhuang Shisan's momentum, his body trembled, and he almost fell off the stool without sitting firmly.

After taking a few deep breaths, he stammered, "He... He... He just ... Just... Eighty-eight tasks were taken at once. ”

"What?"

"Did you say it wrong, or did I hear it wrong?"

"Eighty-eight?"

"You're talking about eight, right? Don't stutter, repeat it seriously and clearly. ”

"I'm not wrong, you hear it clearly, it's not eight, it's not eighteen, it's eighty-eight. ”

After reconfirming this number, the scene immediately exploded.
