Chapter 207: The First Mission

Nan Xiao's studies continued as usual, and He Xuansheng could be said to have lived a four-point life, with dormitories, classrooms, canteens, and exclusive training from the elders every night.

Another week has passed, and the life of the Spirit Academy is still somewhat monotonous, every afternoon of the public lecture, except for Elder Tianqing's lesson on spirit beasts, the remaining four afternoons, He Xuansheng either chose to stay in the dormitory to practice, or to accompany Luoyang Qin'er.

Although it is a bit monotonous, everything is in order, and even in this order, He Xuansheng rarely feels comfortable.

On Saturday, He Xuansheng and Ling Lan both got up early in the morning, and the two glanced at each other, and from each other's eyes, they both saw an expectation.

Today is the day when the five members of their Southern Spirit Demon Slayer Team meet to register their names.

Each demon slayer team needs official audit statistics, and according to the cultivation of the members of the demon slaying team and the completion rate of previous tasks, the demon slaying team also has its own set of hierarchy.

The one-star demon slayer team, the two-star demon slayer team, and the three-star demon slayer team are simply divided into three levels, but the gap between each level is unimaginable to ordinary people.

To put it simply, there are a total of 431 one-star demon slaying teams, 37 two-star demon slaying teams, and four three-star demon slaying teams registered in the whole continent......

The level of tasks that can be accepted by different levels of demon slaying teams is also different, the one-star demon slayer team can only accept fifth-class and third-class tasks, the two-star demon slayer team can accept fourth-class and second-class tasks, and as for the three-star demon slaying team, they can only accept second-class and first-class tasks.

Generally, larger cities will have departments dedicated to registering demon slaying teams, and there are naturally also in Nanxiao Ling Academy.

The five of them walked around for most of the day, and a building that was not too big came into view.

Although the volume is not too large, the pair of demonic eyes depicted on its outer wall made He Xuansheng and the five of them couldn't help but shudder, and their hearts unconsciously gave birth to a little solemnity.

The registration process of the demon slayer team is still relatively cumbersome, and after a series of tests including age, general combat effectiveness, and psychological ability, etc., the registration process has finally come to the final step.

"Have you thought of the name of the demon slayer?"

A staff member at the desk carefully reviewed the reports of He Xuansheng and the five people, and asked.

Looking at each other, for some reason, everyone's hearts were a little more excited.

"Nan Ling Demon Slayer Team, Nan Ling of Nan Xiao Ling Academy!"

"Nanling...... The Southern Spirit Demon Slayer ...... Okay, registration is complete!"

"The Demon Slayer Team has been registered, go to the second floor to get their respective team uniforms and identity badges, remember, when performing the tasks of the Demon Slayer Team, everyone must wear a uniform and wear the assigned mask, and under normal circumstances, they cannot show their identity to others at will. ”

"Hmm...... The quest hall is on the third floor, and each person's badge has a special spirit weapon on it, and it is impossible to enter the quest hall without the badge. ”

"The levels and rankings of all the demon slaying teams are presented on the big screen in the center of the third floor, even the Southern Spirit Demon Slayer Team that you just registered has now been registered on the big screen!"

"Welcome, to the Demon Slayer family!"

............

I couldn't wait to come to the second floor to get their respective team uniforms, and quickly found a place to change their clothes, and when everyone finished changing their clothes and gathered at the staircase on the second floor, everyone had a hint of shyness on their faces.

The uniforms of both men and women are mainly black, with a black suit and a knee-length long black trench coat for men, and a black suit and a short black jacket for women, which is convenient but elegant.

Although it is more oppressive in color, black is often the best protective color for the demon slayer team who are accustomed to licking blood from the knife edge.

The badge was made of alloy and exuded a faint golden light, although it looked ordinary, but the five words of the Southern Spirit Demon Slayer Team engraved on the badge could make the five people present completely fall into excitement.

"Let's go to the third floor first!"

The space on the third floor is much larger than the two floors below, perhaps because of the weekend, and there are a lot of people in the mission hall, all dressed in black uniforms, looking for tasks on the big screen in front of them while discussing something with others.

"Look, the last one is our team!"

In this environment, the excitement of He Xuansheng and the others was also a little restrained, but when Chu Xuanji found his team, the joy on his little face was suddenly overflowing, and he said excitedly while pulling Luo Yangqin'er's arm.

"The Southern Spirit Demon Slayer Team...... There is only one star in front of us, which means that we are only a one-star demon slaying team!"

Saying that, He Xuansheng also turned his attention to the four teams at the top of the rankings, that is, the only four three-star demon slaying teams at this stage.

"Ten Thousand Miles Demon Slayer Team, Nine Heavens Demon Slayer Team, Blood Lotus Demon Slayer Team and Northern Hell Demon Slayer Team...... I'd love to see it!"

That being said, how can it be so simple to meet the three-star demon slayer team, at their level, they are more likely to accept the direct guidance of the Holy Palace, and basically will not come to this task hall to find tasks in person.

"It's all here, pick a task and try it first!"

Qi Lingxiao looked at another large screen densely packed with bounty tasks of various levels, and said, "Look at that, last night in Shanyan Village, two general-level demon clan's breaths were detected, and if they are confirmed, they will be immediately killed, how about it?"

Most of the tasks of the demon slayer team are time-limited, about 90% of the tasks will only be hung on the big screen for a day, once the day has passed and the team has not claimed it, the relevant departments will generally withdraw the task and turn to the reserve force to take over the completion.

"The general-level demon clan is probably the strength of our triple or so!"

He Xuansheng thought for a while, turned around and asked, "It seems that our Nanxiao in Shanyan Village is less than half a day's journey, how about it, can you try it?"

"Sounds good, although it is two general-level demon clans, but as a potential three-star demon slayer team, how can it be said that the first mission is not a little difficult?"

Everyone looked at each other and smiled, and the excitement that could not be suppressed in their hearts surfaced again.

There is a spiritual weapon in the mission hall that is specifically responsible for the reception of the task, as long as you scan it on the spiritual weapon with the badge, the specific mission details will be recorded in the badge.

The records of these missions also play an important role in the future ascension of the demon slayer team.

People have a certain enthusiasm for new things, and they don't have much rest, after recording the task, He Xuansheng and the five of them rushed to this small mountain village not far from the Nanxiao Ling Monastery non-stop, and began to carry out the first mission of their Nanling Demon Slaying Team.

Shanyan Village is completely a village built in the mountains, and each family is self-sufficient, guarding their own small world at the door of their home, so happy.

"What a beautiful village!"

Girls have a certain affection for pure natural nature, when they see such a world that has not been polluted at all, Luoyang Qin'er and Chu Xuanji both stood in place in a daze, their thoughts had already fled and ran around the village several times.

"This village ...... It's a little frighteningly quiet!"

Just when everyone was immersed in the wonderful scenery, Ling Lan on the side frowned, patted his head, and said, "Why is my perception ...... No one's breath ......"

Under Ling Lan's reminder, He Xuansheng and the others also reacted back.

"My perception...... It doesn't seem to have the breath of a human being!"

Among the few people present, except for Ling Lan, the strongest in perception belonged to He Xuansheng.

So when the two of them didn't perceive the breath of people, the faces of the rest of the people changed, and a trace of bad premonition gradually surfaced in their hearts.

"Let's go, let's see!"

The village is not big, and after about ten minutes, the five of them went around the entire village.

As they expected, there was no one in the entire village.

"Where have all the people gone?"

To be honest, for these novices, at this time, they only have confusion in their minds.

"Wait a minute, I seem to have sensed something!"

Ling Lan suddenly put her hand on her head, and while motioning for everyone to be quiet, she closed her eyes and quietly sensed the changes in the aura around her.

"About five kilometers to the left, there's a lot of activity there!"

Under Ling Lan's leadership, it didn't take long for everyone to travel about five kilometers to the left, and their horizons gradually broadened.

But when they saw the scene in front of them, the faces of the five people changed, and two of the girls even fell directly to the ground and vomited, their eyes full of fear.

The faces of the three boys were not much better, one by one they were biting their teeth, but their lips were trembling unconsciously.

In front of you, there is a river of blood!

More than fifty corpses lay on their backs in the wilderness, as if they had just died, and some of the corpses were still bleeding bright red blood, and even their bodies were trembling slightly.

Next to the corpse were more than a dozen children tied together and in a coma, and there were also two mysterious creatures nearly two meters tall and strange looking.

"That'...... That's ...... Demons!"

It was obviously the first time for Ling Lan to see a creature like a demon, and her voice at this time was trembling a little, and her palms were slightly pale because of the clenched fists for a long time.

"These beasts of the demon race...... Kill all the villagers?"

Qi Lingxiao was obviously much calmer, but perhaps under the urging of extreme anger, his eyes were red at this time, and the murderous aura seemed to overflow directly.

Looking back at Ling Lan and the second daughter, who were still in fear, Qi Lingxiao also set his eyes on He Xuansheng and said, "One person, how about it?"

At this time, He Xuansheng's heart, more than fear, was anger.

Is his mother just as innocent and tragic as these villagers who died at the hands of the demons?

"One by one, kill them!"
