The Exiled Lands Chapter 11: The Blood of the Turtle
The morning light sprinkled on the ground, and Du Xuan walked on a street. The streets are lined with shops and pavilions. The traders who make a living set up their stalls early, with delicacies of pills and thick armor and iron swords, which are dazzling. The streets are bustling with people, horse-drawn carriages passing by, and most of the people passing by have hollow-eyed eyes, like walking corpses. Most of the people living in the Western Barbarians live a hard life, rejecting the demons in the north, resisting the beast soldiers in the south, and guarding against the borderlands, in a vicious environment, people often die in the twilight of life, lifeless.
The monks who got up in the morning showed their magical powers, and for a time they spent their lights and their spirits were soaring, and they extended into the distance towards the morning sun. This city of Cypriots has a bit of hazy poetry.
Walking through the streets and alleys, I came to a pavilion. People in front of the door came in and out, and the heavy gate was made of unknown animal bones, and there were still some traces of fighting on it. In front of the hall are two towering stone pillars, on which are carved all kinds of strange beasts. There is a plaque hanging on the door eyebrow, with four big characters on the bounty union, which is vigorous and powerful.
Yesterday, after Xu Qingqing took Du Xuan's spiritual liquid, he locked himself in his room and studied it all day and wrote a prescription. There was just a lack of a few key herbs, so she arrested Du Xuan as a hard laborer so that she could carry out her plan to make a fortune.
Du Xuan walked into the bounty union, and everyone in the lobby was talking in a whisper. Rows of signs are hung with bounty on them, and there should be clues to some elixir here.
After looking around, I finally found some traces of Zhu Guo and Po Yuan Cao.
Zhu Guo grows in an extinct volcano outside Sanchuan City, not far from Poyuan Grass. It's just that both grow outside the city and are near the borderlands, so there is less inventory in the city.
At this moment, a squad of hunters approached. One of the green-clothed girls carefully looked at the bounty and said:
"Found it, here. ”
Everyone immediately gathered around, and the man at the head was carrying a mountain opening knife, nearly two meters tall, with solid muscles and powerful muscles. The other was like a group of people's lieutenants, holding a curved bow in his hand and his eyes sharp. The remaining two are in the outfits of a physician and a formation mage.
The man with the knife looked at the bounty and said, "The bounty order requires six people to be satisfied, but we only have five people, and we need to find another person." ”
"It's just an eighth-level task, and you still need six people, and Brother Zhao can solve the Xuan Turtle alone. One of them said.
"Maybe it's because of the proximity to the Borderlands, so the number of people has increased a bit, I heard that the last time the Borderlands Flame Demon went on a rampage, a lot of people died. ”
The girl in green tilted her head: "But now that time is pressing, where can I find the sixth person." ”
At this time, Du Xuan also happened to be holding a reward called the blood of the turtle, and the Zhu Guo was the staple food of the Xuan Turtle, so where there was the Xuan Turtle, there were often Zhu Guo.
The girl in green saw that Du Xuan was holding the same bounty, and there was a sixth-level hunter's badge on his chest, and said happily: "Brother Dao, you also have to do this task, there is just one person in our team, this task cannot be done alone, I still have a map here, it will be much more convenient." ”
Du Xuan was originally reluctant to join them, he didn't come to do the task in the first place, he just needed to find the clues of Zhu Guo and Po Yuan Cao. But after hearing that they had a map, I still agreed, and it was better to have a map to guide me than to look around.
Du Xuan nodded: "It's okay."
Physician Chen Er was disdainful: "A sixth-level hunter is just a spirit channel, what's the use of one more and one less?"
The man with the knife glared at Chen Er, turned to Du Xuan and said, "Brother, don't care, this mission is not dangerous, you just need to follow us." Zhao family, Zhao Wu, get to know each other. ”
The Zhao family, like the Wei Family Chamber of Commerce, is a three-grade family of the Bifang Empire, and Zhao Wu said that when he was born in the Zhao family, his face was obviously a little complacent.
"Du Xuan"
Du Xuan nodded slightly.
Seeing that he was not the surname of any family in the city, the doctor was even more disdainful, and muttered in a low voice, "Little white face, straw bale." Although the voice was small, everyone present heard it.
Du Xuan was unmoved, and his words were small, and he could only talk about it. Then he looked at the doctor, and saw that he was wearing a seventh-level hunter badge on his chest, and his cultivation should be at the peak of the Spirit Channeling Realm. The array mage is an eighth-level badge, Zhao Wu and Na Gong are both ninth-level badges, and only the girl in green is a sixth-level badge like herself.
That is to say, among the people, Zhao Wu and the person with the bow have the highest cultivation, they should be in the Four Elephants Realm, the array mage should be the Four Elephants Primary, and the rest of the people, including Du Xuan, are all in the Spirit Attraction Realm.
Zhao Wu snorted, hid his embarrassment, and then turned to the mage and said, "Ah brother, have you checked the siege formation? That Xuan Turtle is very fast, and it is difficult to catch it." ”
The array mage checked the box he was carrying, and returned: "The spirit trapping array, the trapped beast lock, they are all brought, there is a cousin here, and I can't escape." ”
Zhao Yong shook the bow in his hand and said to Du Xuan: "Brother, if there will be a fight, you don't want to participate in the war, pick more fruits, where are there a lot of Zhu fruits." After the deed is completed, the bounty is divided equally. Looking at Du Xuan's level 6 badge, there was a trace of disdain in the corner of his eyes that couldn't be hidden.
Du Xuan smiled slightly: "I'll hide away for a while" but secretly calculated in his heart that a few punches could kill him.
The six of them took the task, and in a blink of an eye, everyone followed the map to the vicinity of Wanshi Mountain.
In the Wanshi Mountain, there are many strange and strange stones, pit caves and forests, there are three or three Zhuguo trees growing on the mountainside, the Xuangui lives in the hole, feeds on the Zhuguo, although it is a turtle, but the speed is extremely fast.
"It is recorded in the codex that most of the turtles here are in the middle of the four elephants, they like fire, they can escape to the ground, and the shells on their backs are very hard. The array mage looked at the Codex and said.
Chen Er smiled: "How hard can it be? Brother Zhao's big knife is a heroic hero who has been in the Dragon Pool for five hours, and the top ten existences on the Dragon Monument." The first person in his generation to forge a body!"
The girl in green exclaimed: "I have long heard that the Zhao family's mountain collapse is extremely fierce and fierce, and it is the best at forging the body. I didn't expect Brother Zhao to leave his name on the dragon monument, Brother Zhao is really strong. ”
Zhao Wu was leisurely and proud: "It's all your peers who give face." Can't get on the table. ”
"Hmph"
Zhao Yong on the side turned his head and snorted coldly, everyone could see along the way that the two brothers, Zhao Wu and Zhao Yong, were interested in the girl in green. Although she took the task, it was more like a tour of the mountains and rivers, and the two of them took care of her in every way along the way, for fear of bumping into her. But the sycophants were all shot on Zhao Wu's side, which made Zhao Yong a little unhappy in his heart, although both of them were from the Zhao family, but who made Zhao Wu the eldest son.
The girl in green had a flexible mind, rolled her eyes, pulled Zhao Yong and said, "Brother Zhao Yong will protect others for a while." ”
Du Xuan felt sick in his heart, so he simply went to the side to watch the formation mage set up.
As soon as the spirit luring array was formed, a burst of Chinese light flowed, and a spiritual power turtle appeared, the turtle opened its mouth and whimpered, the voice was long, very penetrating, and it turned out to be the courtship sound of the turtle.
The sound of the rope on the mountain came, and the turtle in the cave scrambled to crawl out, whimpering in response to the turtle outside the cave.
Many holes had already set up trapped beast locks, and after the turtle stretched out its head, it immediately tightened and trapped the turtle. However, there were still some turtle holes that did not have lock clips, and they were crawled out of the holes.
A turtle probed its brain, and after coming out of the hole, it suddenly felt bad, fell for it, and turned its head to crawl into the hole.
The corners of Zhao Wu's mouth grinned, and he smiled: "You still want to run?!"
He stepped out in one step, smashed the ground, jumped more than ten meters in the air, and the mountain opening knife warehouse behind him screamed, pulled out, and raised it above his head. Performing the Zhao family's unique combat skills, I saw a blue-green aura spread along his arms into the mountain opening knife, the sword light rose sharply, and the blade was cold and cold.
"Click!"
Although the speed of the Xuan Turtle is fast, after being locked by Zhao Wu, it is already unavoidable. Hit by a knife, Zhao Wu's Four Elephant Realm immediately expanded, and the Xuan Turtle only felt as heavy as a mountain on its back, and the turtle shell was crushed and cracked like a spider's web.
Zhao Wu slashed in the air, causing Yu Ying to exclaim, and stars appeared in her eyes.
"Wow, is this the power of the mountain?"
Zhao Yong, who was on the side, was unwilling, and pulled out a black iron arrow from the quiver behind his back, hung his fingers on the string, and his arms were tense. Shout:
"Open!"
The mountain collapse power opened the mountain crack for the fourth time, and the spiritual power of the fingertips gushed out, dyeing the iron arrow green.
"Whew!"
There was a sound of breaking through the air, and the arrows were like shooting stars, bringing a gust of fresh wind. The Zhao family's mountain collapse is restrained and violent, and the spiritual power is layer after layer, and the more you go to the back, the more powerful it becomes.
The black iron arrow was blessed by the mountain collapse energy, and the speed was getting faster and faster.
"Boom"
There was a soft sound, and puffs of smoke and dust were raised, and another turtle, which had no time to run, was pierced by an iron arrow and fixed on the stone wall, the gravel collapsed, and the mouth whimpered, and it was dying and struggling.
Yu Ying pinched the corners of her clothes, ran in small steps, and said with a smile: "What is the second brother's Four Elephant Domain? ”
Zhao Yong's face was overjoyed, and he said with a smile: "Little trick, fifth-level realm - resisting the wind"
"What about Brother Zhao?"
Zhao Wu smiled slightly: "Level 5 Realm - Thousand Heavy Mountain." ”
Chen Er, who was collecting blood, turned his head and said, "The two cousins of the Zhao family are both Junjie of Sanchuan City, and they are strong in battle skills, Miss Yu Ying may wish to consider it." ”
Yu Ying pretended to be shy: "People are still young, and parents have to decide major marriages." ”
The twisted posture was a little contrived, which made Du Xuan sick to his stomach for a while, and he simply went to pick the zhu fruit. I filled a full bag, but when I turned my head, I felt that it was not enough, so I stuffed my pocket again.
Chen Er sneered contemptuously: "Poor ghost"
The two brothers of the Zhao family were hunting the turtle that had slipped through the net like a competition at this time. For a while, the sword roared and the arrow roared, and the turtle cried blood. In fact, the blood of the turtle only needs three or two to be enough, and the two of them are just showing off their combat skills in front of the beauties.
Zhao Yong was a little unhappy when he saw that the turtles he hunted were two fewer than his brother, but at this time, the turtles were hiding, and it was difficult to hunt them. He didn't want to lose face in front of the beautiful woman, so he opened his bow and pulled the string full, and the mountain collapse broke out heavily, and a black iron arrow shot into the turtle cave.
"Boom"
The Turtle Cave was collapsed by his arrow, raising puffs of smoke and dust.
"Hiss, hiss"
Two giant beast roars that did not resemble turtles were heard, and then a giant lizard with a body length of nearly five meters broke through the smoke and dust, and a black iron arrow was stuck in its tail.
The array mage gasped: "Tianfu-level lava salamander!"
"Let's go!"
Zhao Wu's figure flashed, and he ran down the mountain with Yu Ying in his arms. Zhao Yong's eyes suddenly flickered, but he also followed.
Chen Er threw away the tools in his hand and shouted anxiously: "Wait for me"
The mage was the earliest and the fastest to discover, and at this time he had already escaped hundreds of meters.
I saw that the salamander was nearly five meters long, with green eyes, barbs on its neck, sharp claws like sharp blades, and its whole body was covered with a layer of volcanic ash, forming a natural armor.
The salamander was resting in the cave, but was hit by an arrow for no reason, and was in a rage at this time, looking for the murderer.
Everyone at the bottom of the mountain fled for their lives, Du Xuan came from behind, and ran in front of a few people, after the treasure body was completed, the phantom step could already be a hundred meters in an instant, and several people behind him were stunned.
The salamander's eyes were full of smoke, lying on the top of the mountain and spitting letters, and then he saw the longbow behind Zhao Yong, and the salamander suddenly became angry, driving a fire cloud, and swooped down.
The Tianfu Realm can already fly in the sky, and even if a few people under the mountain have escaped for thousands of meters, they can't keep up with the speed of the fire cloud.
"Poof, smack!"
A mouthful of lava shot at everyone, and the Zhao brothers hurriedly pounced forward and crawled with a blank face.
"Poof, poof, poof"
The salamander spat out three times in a row, forcing Du Xuan at the front to come back, and Du Xuan got up and down and stabilized his body. The heart is racing fast, sending spiritual power to all parts of the body, reaching the best state.
"I'm afraid I can't be good. Du Xuan said secretly.
Seeing that everyone had stopped, the lava salamander jumped off the cloud and approached them with a letter spitting out.
Salamanders are a mixed-race relic left over from ancient times, and adult salamanders can reach the Sanyuan Realm with only racial talent, but because there are too many mixed bloods, they have no intelligence and only animal nature.
Chen Er ran the slowest and fell behind the group, and at this time, the salamander was approaching step by step, so frightened that he sat on the ground with weak legs. A snort sprayed on his face, and his body trembled, and he actually peed his pants.
"Big brother, save me, big brother, help me..."
The doctor's voice trembled, and he couldn't stop crying.
Yu Ying grabbed Zhao Wu tightly, for fear that he would leave him alone and escape, Zhao Yong's eyes on the side were cracked, and his nails pierced deep into the flesh.
"Brother Zhao, let's run away, I'm so scared. Yu Ying's hands trembled a little.
"Big brother, help me..."
Chen Er was held down by a salamander's claw, his life hung by a thread, and feces and urine flowed together. The salamander probably thought he stinked and didn't want to eat him.
At this time, Chen Er's intestines were repentant, and he knew that he was lying in the hospital hall leisurely, so why bother to go out to this troubled water for the sake of patting his ass. Zhao Wu was unmoved by his call for help, and said to Zhao Yong with a heavy face: "Ah brother, you and I are united, and there is still a glimmer of life." ”
Zhao Yong also knew that this was not the time to be jealous, and his life was at stake right now, so he immediately pulled out an iron arrow and pointed it at the salamander, but he didn't shoot it.
The panicked array mage finally came back to his senses and shouted: "Crack its stone armor, quickly break the stone armor on its body, this salamander is not yet an adult, he is molting! As long as the stone armor is broken, it will have to go back to the ground!"
