Chapter Ninety-Three: Recruitment Mission
The conscription hall, which seemed to be the most worthy place in the entire deserted village, was guarded by a column of soldiers from the Frontier Legion, and the hall was full of people, most of them were bounty spiritualists and wandering mercenaries. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Yo, it turns out that someone from the Academy of All Souls has arrived, welcome!"
A fat man in a bloated officer's uniform walked over, looked at our group with a smile, and said, "Spiritual Instructor Lant, it seems that your students have changed again, what kind of task are you going to take this time?"
Rand smiled: "Hello General Hai, what are the tasks for me first, can you? ”
General Hai was shy, his eyes suddenly narrowed, and he lowered his voice: "Do you know that a major event has happened recently, the life wall near Cuo Mountain has partially collapsed due to the impact of the heavy rain, so there are not only some mysterious beasts in the nearby villages, but also many barbarians from the outside...... You've come at the right time, come on, and show the list of tasks to the Lant Guide. ”
"Yes, sir!"
A clerk walked over, holding a booklet in his hand, and said, "Your Excellency, the details of the latest tasks are here." ”
"Bu Yixuan, you guys take a look, and then choose to complete the task. ”
"Good. ”
I took the booklet, and it was very clear that the bounty tasks issued by the Recruitment Office of the Desolate Village were divided into three levels: heaven, earth, and people, among which there were only a few heaven-level tasks, and they were very vague, so it was more rational to choose the prefecture-level tasks, and turned the second page, which clearly read-
The first task, there is an unnamed river five miles south of the desolate village, recently there is a Jedi salamander inhabiting by the river, there have been a number of nearby villagers, Orions are missing, the task requires killing the Jedi salamander, bringing back its head, a bounty of 100,000 dragon spirit coins, a bounty of 700 points, it is recommended that the spiritual realm is cultivated above, more than ten people, there are currently seventeen teams or singles have accepted, not completed.
The second task, there is a frost wolf cruising on Cuo Mountain, ten miles north of the Desolate Village, attacking the nearby garrison many times, killing it, and bringing back the wolf's teeth, with a bounty of 150,000 dragon spirit coins and a reward of 850 points.
The third task, the wall of life collapsed, a team of at least twenty barbarians entered the Gale Domain, found them, and killed them, and returned with their heads, with a bounty of 300,000 dragon spirit coins, bounty points: 1800, no suggestion, so far eighty-seven teams or single people have accepted it, and it has not been completed.
……
There's a lot of numbers to follow, and the prize money is huge, so it's no wonder that it attracts so many mercenaries and spiritualists, but what's the deal with the bounty points?
As if seeing my doubts, Rand explained with a smile: "We need to rely on bounty points to complete this experience, and your team will be considered to have completed this trial if it has accumulated 10,000 points." ”
Su Yan pursed his red lips and said, "The Jedi Salamander and the Frost Blue Wolf are both fifth-order mysterious beasts, and the Frost Blue Wolf may be stronger, so let's take these two tasks first, right?"
"Hmm. ”
I nodded: "Do the rest of the people have any objections?"
The other three mms shook their heads in unison, agreeing.
Rand was a little stunned: "Why don't you take on the mission of this wild team?" 1800 points." ”
Su Yan frowned and said: "The barbarian clan and we are all human, but the race is different, if it is not necessary, I don't want to kill people at will." ”
"Hmph, those bounty spiritualists and mercenaries don't think so. ”
That's natural, otherwise that mission wouldn't have been accepted 87 times, but ...... It also made me realize how chaotic and barbaric the border zone is, and what is the difference between this kind of mission and wanton killing?
……
After signing the task list, we left the recruiting office, and after spending a hundred dollars in the hands of the vendors outside to buy a detailed map of the neighborhood, I was the leader of the squad to complete the first mission.
Out of the deserted village, walking five miles to the south, a muddy river appeared in front, the river flooded, the river here is always full in the rainy season, we walked along the muddy ground by the river, fortunately the college's boots are not dewy, otherwise I am afraid it will not be very comfortable, but Rao is so everyone is still not very happy, and soon there are some mud stains on the body.
We didn't go far, a seven-person mercenary team passed by us, all of them were strong men, with heavy armor on their bodies, and their weapons were also some bulky guys such as broadswords and battle axes, and the strongest one in the group was about the late stage of the Tianchong Realm, at first they still had frivolity in their eyes, but soon found that we were wearing the uniforms of the Ten Thousand Souls Academy and left without saying a word.
As Rand said, for weaker opponents, the four words of the Ten Thousand Souls Academy itself have a strong deterrent power.
At least dozens of people along the way were looking for the Jedi salamander, but no one found it, as if the mission was a fake one, until we reached the end of the river and found no salamander.
"Could it be that there are no Jedi salamanders at all?" Su Yan frowned.
I shook my head: "Impossible, since the mission must have been seen, but the Jedi Salamander is alive, the mission is dead, it must have left the river, you think the Jedi Salamander is a fire-attribute beast, and the fire-attribute beast is reluctant to approach the river except for drinking water, it must have gone somewhere else, a dry place." ”
Almost at the same time, everyone turned to look at the barren mountain on the side, and it was only possible to be in this mountain.
Following the path into the mountain, not far away, Tang Que suddenly seemed to be alert to something, jumped down on a hillside, reached out and touched the blades of grass on the ground, and said, "The grass has been burned by the high temperature, it should have climbed over from here." ”
"Check the footprints. I said.
She looked at it, then put out her hand and pointed ahead, and said, "Go that way." ”
"Let's go, let's take a look. ”
Ten minutes later, we tracked all the way to the front of a cave about half a man high, the entrance of the cave was scorched, and my spiritual aperture could even sense the power of fire in the depths of the cave, yes, the Jedi salamander was right underneath!
"The hole is too small, and it's hard to spread it out when you go in. Tang Que said.
"Don't go in. ”
I said: "Que Ran, you stand back, look for the best place to attack, Xiao Yan and Ah Yao also stand back, Tong'er and I stay here, the Jedi salamander has a violent temperament and greed, as long as it smells the breath of a living person, it will crawl out and attack, as long as we stay here, it will come out in less than ten minutes." ”
"Hmm!"
As expected, within five minutes, flames appeared at the entrance of the cave, and then a bloated body crawled out of the cave, where it looked like a lizard, it was almost like a huge crocodile, covered in fiery red scales, and pounced on it with a hideous face.
"Tong'er, defense!"
Liu Tong'er gritted her silver teeth, suddenly condensed the Xuanlong Shield, and smashed the shield to the ground, the dragon breath power around her body surged, and she actually cultivated to the seventh layer of dragon breath gong!
"Peng!"
The Jedi Salamander opened its mouth and bit on the Xuanlong Shield, but was shocked by the solid Xuanlong Shield and took a few steps back, while I took the opportunity to sweep and block the hole so that it could not go back, and at the same time, the Moon Blade trembled violently, and a sword full of lightning power fell in the air, directly slashing at the Jedi Salamander's tail, splitting a piece of scales and blood.
"Hiss ......"
It trembled violently under the pain, and at the same time hit Tang Que Ran with two arrows on its body, obviously Tang Que Ran's cultivation has improved a lot recently, and the arrows and arrows have pierced through the scale armor of the Jedi Salamander, and blood is splattered.
At this time, the most fatal came, Su Yan, who had sacrificed the Nine Heavens Flame Dragon Dance, swept through like a flame, and the huge impact force actually lifted the Jedi Salamander from the ground entirely, and then under the flicker of the sword light, the Jedi Salamander's abdomen was split out one after another, and even the internal organs almost burst out.
"Bang ......"
After falling to the ground, the Jedi salamander snorted miserably, and actually died!
In less than ten seconds, the dignified fifth-order mysterious beast was hacked to death by us!
Compared to the last trip to the Spirit Fall Mountain Range, it is obvious that everyone has improved a lot, especially Su Yan, whose strength has increased by at least 50%, which I can clearly feel.
After cutting off the salamander's head, I picked it up and said, "Go back and hand in the mission first, and then go find the frost wolf?"
"Good. ”
Four mm gladly agreed.
……
In less than two hours, the clerk of the recruitment office looked shocked and signed the task for us.
Depart again and head to the northern Cuo Mountain.
An hour later, ascending Cuo Mountain, the four mm around him were already drenched in sweat, everyone looked into the distance together, on the mountainside, a stone wall stretched into the distance, this stone wall is very majestic, nearly twenty meters high, the wall of life, this steel barrier that protects the human beings on the Dragon Spirit Continent from attack, but now because of the impact of the flood and the wall root rotted, collapsed for up to two miles, far away, there are troops there to guard, and the people repair the figure of the wall of life.
Through the broken wall of life, I looked out over the boundless expanse of the Outer Realm, my brow furrowed.
"What's wrong, something on your mind?" asked Su Yan understandingly.
I took a deep breath and said, "I hope to repair the wall of life as soon as possible, otherwise I'm afraid the desolate village will not be safe, let's go, let's go to the frost wolf, I can almost smell a wisp of blood on it." ”
She chuckled, "Are you a dog's nose?"
Tan Tai Yao said: "Be serious, the strength of the Frost Blue Wolf in the fifth-order Xuan Beast is also considered to be at the peak level, we can't be too careless, if we can't get hurt, don't get hurt." ”
"Hmm. ”
Cuo Mountain stretches for hundreds of miles, and it looks vast from a distance, and no one knows how many crises are hidden under this vastness!
