"Whew, it's finally out, the outside world, I'm here at Ye Ling", and then Ye Ling opened his arms, closed his eyes and greedily breathed the air around him, and at the same time, after Ye Ling came out, the door behind him began to slowly collapse.

At this moment, the dragon pattern jade pendant on Ye Ling's hand began to glow, and then flew into the air, and after stopping somewhere, after a while, the jade pendant floating in mid-air shot an illusory figure from inside.

"Ling'er, if you can see me, it means that you have survived and have left the Ye family, and after you left, I announced to the public that you have died in the dark prison, so now you are no longer the son of the four elders of the Ye family on the surface, but just an ordinary person with the same name and surname as the son of the four elders of the Ye family. ”

"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing, you kid likes swords, and his kendo talent is not bad, so I have opened up a space in this jade pendant that can only store swords, so solve the problem of money by yourself, if you can't solve it, then starve to death outside, and finally cherish the sword left by your mother." ”

After the figure finished speaking, it dissipated, and the dragon-patterned jade pendant also fell towards Ye Ling's right hand, slowly merging with it. After the fusion was completed, a dragon pattern appeared on the back of the right hand. The wound on his right hand was also slowly healed as he fused with the jade pendant.

Ye Ling looked at the sword in his hand, "From today on, you will be called Xiao Ling."

As soon as his mind moved, the sword in Ye Ling's left hand was included in the jade pendant space in his right hand.

"Hell, why don't you heal my left hand too", looking at his left and right hands, Yeling couldn't help but complain.

Complaining is complaining, the movements of his hands did not slow down, Ye Ling tore off a few strips of cloth from the clothes on his body, and simply bandaged the wound on his left hand.

Then he found a tall and straight tree, and after standing still, he began to look at the surrounding environment, surrounded by jungle, in the depths of which there were occasional unknown monster cries, startling the birds in the forest, and the sound of swords and soldiers faintly coming from the forest in the other direction, mixed with the sound of adventurers full of various emotions.

And in the middle of the forest, there is a mountain that I don't know how someone used to cut off the body of the mountain that is more than halfway up the mountain, it is said that in the Dark Ages, when the Daoist chased and killed the blood refining demon master, it was caused by the leakage of the sword pressure of the Hundred Tribulation Sword in his hand.

No matter how many years have passed, its cross-section is still smooth as a mirror, and when the sky is clear, there are occasional thunderstorms, and its power is very amazing.

Of course, these are just anecdotes written by Ye Ling in his library and found the "Mixed Yuan Kyushu Lu" written by someone for unknown reason.

According to the record of "Mixed Yuan Kyushu Lu", this should be the crime forest on the outskirts of Qingyuan City in Cangzhou, if you pass through the periphery and travel 854 miles along the official road, you can reach Mingliu City, which is the closest to Qingyuan City.

"Fortunately, I'm not bad luck this time, this place belongs to the periphery, and the coordinates of this portal opening are not in the depths of the forest, otherwise I'm afraid I can only complete my dream that I haven't started in the belly of the demon beast." Ye Ling couldn't help but reach out and wipe the cold sweat that broke out on his forehead.

In the "Mixed Yuan Kyushu Record", it is also mentioned that the current division of the mainland cultivation realm, and the cultivation of the great realm is divided into three realms: heaven, earth, and man. It is commonly known as the three heavens, the six earths, and the nine people, and the nine people refer to the nine realms of mortals, servants, scholars, teachers, generals, kings, sects, kings, and emperors; the six earths refer to the six realms of respect, spirit, Tao, Tao, the Tao, the true way, and the emperor; and the three heavens refer to the three realms of God, the saint, and the Tao.

Now that he is on the outskirts of the Punishment Forest, with his sword servant Yae's cultivation, there is no problem in coming out of the periphery safely. After picking some wild fruits nearby, Yeling began to hit the road.

Along the way, Ye Ling didn't encounter any demon beasts, let alone any chaotic team of adventurers composed of mercenaries, so it didn't take long for Ye Ling to walk out of the outskirts of the Forest of Punishment.

At the same time, because of the geographical location of the two cities, merchants come and go more frequently, and people dressed like Ye Ling enter and leave the city every day, and the soldiers at the city gate don't care too much about Ye Ling, and when they arrive in Qingyuan City, they first ask the people in the city about the location of the mercenary guild. Then he came to the guild hall of the Mercenary Guild.

"Hello, I want to register as a mercenary, what are the requirements?"

"Hello, this gentleman, register as a mercenary, the cultivation needs to reach the waiter or above, and the registration fee is 20 gold coins; if the funds are not enough, you can choose to complete the registration task selected by the guild for you to complete the registration as a mercenary, and the task reward after completing the task, the guild does not take a penny, and at the same time register for you for free, but the time limit of the task is only three days, and a person only has one chance in his life; The front desk showed a professional smile and carefully explained to Yeling.

Ye Ling nodded, "Then I'll choose the second way"

"Okay, this is the task you need to complete this time, please take a look" The front desk held the task list in both hands and handed it to Ye Ling.

Ye Ling also took the task list with both hands, looked at it, and put the task list into his arms. After leaving the guild hall, they headed in the direction of the Forest of Punishment.

When he arrived near the mission's destination, Yeling found a shelter and began to scout his surroundings.

This place is relatively open, there is a small cliff not far away, and the mission goal of this trip is that the second-grade lion scorpion beast in the cave under the cliff is equivalent to the human service realm, and there is a small pond not far from the entrance of the cave, if you fight with it, it will be unfavorable to you.

Demon beasts are naturally powerful, and if they fight alone in the same realm, humans can't fight demon beasts. In contrast, before the demon beast transformed, the intelligence was generally low. Therefore, most of the defeats against demon beasts depend on outwitting.

According to the record of "Records of Strange Beasts", the lion and scorpion beast has scale armor on its belly and back, and the scorpion tail is one foot long, and the tail hides poison, and it dies in the middle; it likes yin and smell, and is good at living alone, and is irritable and angry; the male has a mane, and the mane is strong and hairy, and takes its life within three zhang; and the female grows and roars, and it is a hundred miles away. In the past, it was heard that there was an emperor in ancient times, who took the evil land of the Nine Shadows, struck the emperor with a sword, and cut off the tail and head of the owl, so that the people were saved from the disaster of evil beasts.

Groaning slightly, Ye Ling had the answer in his heart, thinking that this second-grade lion scorpion beast is not a complete body, some of the abilities recorded in the "Alien Beast Record" are not possessed by the current lion scorpion beast, and he still has to fight with his current combat strength, but this process may not be easy.

Later, Ye Ling got up and left there.

On the way, Ye Ling walked on the cloud walk, constantly shuttling through the forest. After familiarizing himself with the surrounding terrain, he returned to the vicinity of the scorpion's cave.

It was almost evening, and the time for the scorpion to come out to feed was getting closer, and Ye Ling crouched in the tree and stared motionlessly at the entrance of the cave.

Finally, the lion scorpion came out, but at this moment Ye Ling did not mean to make a move, because now is not the best time to attack, if he attacks now, he will spend a lot of effort to take down the lion scorpion, so the best time to do it is the fleeting moment when the lion scorpion beast relaxes its guard and starts eating.

In the forest, Ye Ling restrained his breath and hung behind the lion scorpion beast without hurrying.

At this time, after killing its target, the lion and scorpion beast in front of it first cleared a clearing near the food, and then pressed its right paw to the target, roaring from its mouth, and after startling the nearby birds, it looked around and was ready to start enjoying its spoils.

At the same time, Ye Ling summoned the Xiao Ling Sword from the jade pendant space, and slowly clenched the hilt of the sword with his right hand, his whole body tensed, and he did not press the sword, focusing all his attention on the every move of the lion scorpion beast, striving to kill with one blow.

Just as the lion manticorpion was about to open its mouth to bite down, at this time, the lion manticore suddenly raised its head and looked around, Ye Ling, who was hiding on the side, almost rushed out because of the lion scorpion beast's actions just now, but fortunately, Ye Ling controlled himself in time.

At this time, the lion manticore began to prepare to eat, opened its mouth and bit down.

The opportunity came, and at the moment when the lion manticorpion bit the food, Ye Ling moved, drew his sword and slashed at the lion scorpion's neck.

Seeing this scene, the lion scorpion beast that had just bitten the food didn't have time to let go, so it had to flash to the side with the food, and hurriedly dodged the fatal blow.

"Tsk, damn it, it's a bit of trouble" Seeing that the lion scorpion beast was not killed by his own blow, Ye Ling couldn't help but smack his lips.

A man and a beast jumped backwards at the same time, their eyes facing each other, slowly facing each other in this clearing, the injured lion and scorpion beast roared towards Ye Ling from time to time, and at the same time, the scorpion tail behind him kept slapping the surrounding land beside him, stirring up dust all over the ground, ready to make a last stand.

Seeing this, Ye Ling tightened the sword in his hand, his body was slightly lower, his left foot stretched forward, his lower body made a lunge, and the tip of the sword was submerged into the ground under his feet, and he rushed towards the lion scorpion.

"Roar", the lion scorpion beast saw this figure slightly sideways, raised its claws, and dodged the momentum of Ye Ling's sword upward, and then immediately used a scorpion tail sweep.

At the same time, Ye Ling saw that the lion scorpion beast had dodged his sword-flirting style, and he did not panic, but took advantage of the situation, and the lower half of his body also made a lunge, waiting for the sword to be exhausted, and used the remaining momentum of his body to use the sword splitting style.

In an instant, the scorpion tail, the lion beast, fell to the ground in unison.

Ye Ling then pulled a sword flower and returned the sword to its scabbard.

"Pap, papa, pap" Ye Ling followed the prestige, three people appeared in front of him, two men and one woman, the bald man with a scar on the left eye in the middle was carrying a big axe; looking at the man with two knives pinned to his waist next to him, looking more feminine, Ye Ling's intuition told him that this person was a little dangerous; as for the woman with the bow on her back, it was ordinary, if you really fought, you must first get rid of the woman who made the bow.

I'm afraid it's not realistic, even if there are three people on the other side, they can get out of the way; cooperate? Alone, these people can't see any value, and it's worth cooperating with them, thinking of this night Ling can't help but have a big head.

"Your Excellency, good swordsmanship, I heard the sound of demon beasts here just now on the way, and I was curious, so I walked over here to find out. At this moment, the bald man with a scar on his left eye interrupted Ye Ling's thoughts.

"Your Excellency, I sincerely invite you to join our team and fight together against the lion and scorpion beast in the cave ahead." As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand to Yeling.

This task is a registration task, and it stands to reason that the guild will not hand over the same task to multiple people before the mission deadline expires, let alone this kind of solo mission.

Tsk, these people are clearly bullying themselves and pinching themselves as soft persimmons, which makes people angry.

"Heh, what if I don't want to?" Ye Ling ignored the bald man.

The bald man slowly withdrew his outstretched right hand. At the same time, he beckoned his left hand, and for a while the three of them set up a position, the bald man and another man with two knives surrounded Ye Ling in the middle, and the other woman found a tree far away, ready to support at any time.

Suddenly, Ye Ling moved, his body slightly to the left to avoid the attack of the man with the double knife from behind, and his right foot jumped back slightly, dodging the heavy slash of the bald man, and at the same time raised his sword across his chest, using the blade of the sword to block the arrows flying not far away.

Then Ye Ling leaned forward slightly, made a cloud step, and galloped towards the woman who made the bow, the woman was also calm, aimed at Ye Ling and shot three arrows in succession, and then prepared to jump towards the depths of the forest, trying to contain Ye Ling with the changeable and complex terrain of the forest.

It's a pity that Ye Ling had already touched her surroundings thoroughly, and after Ye Ling dodged the arrows she shot, he approached her at a very fast speed, ending her fragile life.

Ye Ling stood where the woman who had made the bow before, looking condescendingly at the two people below.

"Heh, murderer, people will always kill", after saying that, he rushed to the more feminine-looking man among the two, because Ye Ling's intuition told him that the feminine man in front of him was more dangerous than the man who wielded the axe.

Although Ye Ling's speed was fast, Ye Ling's attack was still avoided by the feminine man. Not far away, he looked at Ye Ling viciously.

At the same time, the bald man held the axe in both hands and slashed towards Ye Ling, Ye Ling's body sank slightly, and he used a horizontal sword strike to block the bald man's attack, Ye Ling also borrowed his strength and jumped above the bald man, ready to solve it.

At this moment, the feminine man not far away threw two poison darts at Ye Ling, helplessly, Ye Ling had to give up this opportunity and swing his sword to shoot down the two poison darts that shot at him in the air.

As soon as his left hand touched the ground, he immediately used his force to leap backwards, dodging the other two poison darts that came at him again. After landing smoothly, Ye Ling squinted slightly at the feminine man.

At this time, the bald man took a step forward to block Ye Ling's vision. They looked at each other speechlessly.

Ye Ling moved, first feinted a sword at it, and then bypassed the bald man at a very fast speed, and rushed towards the feminine man.

"Be careful Wangshe, that kid is running at you. The bald man yelled anxiously at Wang She, and at the same time chased after Yeling.

Seeing this, Wang She vaguely felt in his heart that things were not as he saw, but the movement in his hand did not slow down, and he threw three poisonous darts towards Ye Ling.

The Wang She's attack was also expected by Ye Ling, after Ye Ling swung his sword and shot down the poison dart that shot at him, he suddenly, with his left foot, stopped his body, and immediately turned around, and at the same time kicked hard with his right foot, and the whole person shot towards the bald man behind him.

At the same time, when Wang She saw Ye Ling stop his figure, he knew Ye Ling's intentions, and in an instant, he hurriedly shouted at the bald man: "Liu Zhuang, run away, this guy's real target is you." ”

Liu Zhuang was also confused by the sudden change at this time, and when he saw the approaching Ye Ling, he had to hurriedly raise his axe to meet it.

"You Yun Heng Sword Strike," Ye Ling said softly.

"Ding", Liu Zhuang was cut off by the waist with an axe, Ye Ling didn't look at Liu Zhuang, and immediately turned around and rushed towards Wang She.

Wang She kept throwing poison darts at Ye Ling while distancing himself from Ye Ling, and all the poison darts thrown were shot down by Ye Ling with his sword.

Wang She reached out and touched the pocket tied to his right leg, and found that the poison dart had been used up, so he drew his two knives and met it.

"Ding", Wang She raised his double knives over his head, blocking Ye Ling's attack. At the same time, his right foot kicked towards Ye Ling's armpit. There is also a sharp weapon hidden in his right shoe.

Seeing this, Ye Ling pressed his sword against the double swords of the Wang She, and used this as a fulcrum to jump towards the back of the Wang She. At the same time, after waiting for Ye Ling's sword to leave his double sword, Wang She threw the knife on his right hand at Ye Ling in the air.

Ye Ling spun in the air to avoid the knife thrown by Wang She, and another sword slashed towards Wang She. And Wang She, who only had a knife left in his hand, naturally couldn't block this blow.

Sure enough, Ye Ling took Wang She with a sword and flew not far away.

Wang She hurriedly got up, ready to flee, but Ye Ling did not wait for him to turn around, and quickly rushed forward, stabbing his sword through Wang She's heart, nailing it to a tree behind him.

Blood kept spilling from Wang She's mouth, "Ahem, you kill...... Got it...... Ying, cough, you ...... too You won't survive either. When he finished speaking, he tilted his head to the side, and he lost his life.

Ye Ling didn't say anything, and with his right hand, he pulled out the sword stuck in the tree, shook off the blood from the sword, and returned the sword to its sheath.

In the evening, Ye Ling sat by the fire, eating the flesh of the lion and scorpion beast while counting the belongings of the three men.

"Hey, this murder is really a profitable business, the ancients said that they don't deceive me."
