Chapter Twenty-Six: The Road Encounters
The spider-shaped golem actually has a rather domineering name - "Terror Golem".
Don't look at the few corpses in Bronze Man Alley that don't even have the strength of the Dan Realm, to be precise, they are just the predecessors of this kind of machinery, and the real terrifying puppet beasts are the "guards" of the Colosseum.
The Colosseum of the Inner Courtyard of Carmon is one of the internal institutions dedicated to cultivating and training the true fighting power of students, which specializes in containing all kinds of powerful demon beasts and demonic beasts that have reached the fourth and fifth levels. To be able to be a guard in this kind of place, you must at least have the strength equivalent to the late stage of shattering.
And the "Horror Puppet Beast" is the most loyal caretaker here!
......
To be able to break through such a bronze mechanical encirclement, the strength will naturally not be as simple as it seems.
But of course he wouldn't explain this, and seeing that Wei Jiu had made up his mind, he waved goodbye to him and went to invite a new partner.
Wei Jiu stood in the cold wind downstairs, thinking back to what had just happened, and suddenly felt funny. Originally, he still suspected that the other party might have some unknown ideas, but now he found that he was too vigilant.
You don't even have more than a hundred gold coins all over your body, so how can people beat you? I'm afraid the thieves are richer than you.
Thinking helplessly, it seems that I did miss an opportunity to "make a fortune", a three-star task, the reward must be a rich one I can't imagine......
"Little boy, are you begging for rain?" Rat Xiaoqi's voice suddenly popped out of his mind.
Wei Jiu turned around, still looking up at the sky, but this time it was not the sky, but a black figure sitting in a window on the fourth floor.
"There you go. The look of missing the "One Million Gold Coins" just now suddenly disappeared, and he regained his passion.
......
The next day, the main hall of the mission.
After "observing" for a long time, and having a practical "grasp" of how to take the task, Wei Jiu also put his waist card on the counter under the crystal light curtain, where there is a special person responsible for managing the release and collecting the task.
The rewards for these inner court tasks were all issued in the form of "task points", and it was not the first time Wei Jiu had heard of it. Regarding this mission point, in fact, when he first went to see Wei Yun, the Cangyun Ju he rented was a mission point, but gold coins were also collected there, which allowed Wei Jiu to get out of the academy.
"May I ask how many gold coins can this 'contribution point' be exchanged?" Wei Jiu couldn't bear to ask.
I heard that this contribution point can be exchanged with Imperial Gold, although only within the Academy. He was very concerned about whether this thing could really be exchanged for gold coins, after all, the most scarce thing was gold coins right now.
However, he saw that this part-time disciple stopped what he was doing and looked at him in surprise, "You want to exchange gold coins?"
"Eh~ No, I just want to ask, can this contribution point be with the gold coin-" Wei Jiu's two hands opened and closed, and it should mean "exchange".
"Haha, of course you can. Is it the new senior brother?" he asked with a smile and implicitly.
The positions of these part-time disciples of the inner court were actually held voluntarily by some disciples of the outer court. Use a part of their cultivation time in exchange for some compensation, but this is not the most important thing, their willingness to do these jobs is actually related to some "public" cultivation resources in the inner courtyard...... In front of the genuine inner court disciples, they naturally have to call him senior brother.
"One hundred gold coins can be exchanged for one contribution point, but if you exchange contribution points for gold coins, it will be less, and one academy contribution point can only be exchanged for fifty gold coins. So, if you don't particularly need gold, don't exchange it for a good deal. He thought that Wei Jiu planned to earn contribution points in exchange for gold coins, and kindly reminded him.
Contribution points can be directly used to exchange for exercise cheats, weapons, magic weapons, elixirs, and even rare treasures like formations and puppets, no one will exchange this kind of thing for gold coins.
The more high-level martial artists are, the less they value gold coins, and the more they "regard money as dung".
After all, if something becomes readily available, it's worthless.
"If you exchange the contribution points for a hundred gold coins and exchange them back, you can only get fifty gold coins? This is how the academy 'made a fortune'?" Wei Jiu muttered, this Camon Academy is much more savvy than me, and it is good at making money. No, we have to learn something, we have to make money!
......
"Little boy, where are we going?" Rat Xiaoqi lay lazily on Wei Jiu's shoulder, and a pair of black ears were also drooping.
Since it evolved to the third level, its body has increased in size, and it can no longer curl up comfortably in that "nest". It was bumpy all the way, which made it very uncomfortable and felt a little "seasick".
"This red-blooded horse is really not as good as a cloud dog—"
"Dead Swamp, the task I received, it is possible to complete it there. Feeling the lovelessness in Rat Xiaoqi's tone, Wei Jiu's whip slowed down, "Go all the way to the west, and then pass through the three county towns." While comforting Rat Xiaoqi, he searched for the content of the "Dead Swamp" in his memory.
"The Far West, so far~ How long will it take?" When passing a fallen tree in the middle of the road, the horses under him rose and fell suddenly, and the little paws that Rat Xiaoqi grabbed Wei Jiu's collar and couldn't help but tighten again.
Wei Jiu could naturally hear that it was full of resentment at the moment, but he didn't know how to comfort it.
The money to buy this horse almost spent all the savings of the two of them, even if they were helpless and uncomfortable, they had to stick to their destination first.
The two chatted intermittently, and the bloody hooves of the horse's hooves kept hurrying on the road.
......
"It's almost there, hold on. Thinking about the marks on the map, it was estimated that there would not be a long way to go, Wei Jiu turned his head sideways and "rubbed" half of the body of Rat Xiaoqi on his shoulder, and encouraged.
In so many years of getting along, their "duo" really rarely used this way of rushing. The years in the dark forest were not necessary, after all, the lush forest was not suitable for horseback riding at all, and it was easy to expose oneself because of the sound of horses' hooves, and in the year of the Wei Mansion, it was rare to go far, and the farthest time was probably the one who came to the Camon Academy.
Rat Xiaoqi's small body was tossed and turned between the horses' running, like a round black ball, which could be shaken into a debut arc at any time, but it was tightly stuck there like a gummy candy with sticky teeth, allowing it to "blow and rain" and always "stand still".
It didn't respond to Wei Jiu, not because he didn't want to, but because he felt nauseous in his mouth, and he might be unable to help but spit out the nuts and barbecue meat a few days ago.
"The little boy is so poor, I don't know when I will be able to eat a full mouthful, but I can't just waste it!" Several long "whiskers" moved slightly with the corners of his mouth, and his face wrinkled into bitter gourd color.
Just when it was about to take it back, Wei Jiu was suddenly startled and hurriedly restrained Ma Jiu.
"Huh~!"
"What's that!" Unable to help but wonder, Wei Jiu slowed down and let the horse under him walk forward step by step.
Just before he stopped his horse, he seemed to catch a glimpse of something so fast that it almost dragged out the "afterimage", grazing his side and "flying" past.
It wasn't just its speed that was terrifying—Wei Jiu hadn't been able to feel any breath from it from beginning to end!
Dan Realm's "Responsive to Stress" seemed to have lost its effect at that moment!
"It should be right up ahead...... Can't get over it?" Wei Jiu didn't have time to see what that thing was, but he thought that it should be a very advanced martial artist - at least a big realm higher than him, maybe more than that.
At this speed, I'm afraid that ordinary Shattered Realm can't do it, right?
Wei Jiu didn't know, he hadn't seen it until now, the appearance of a powerhouse above the Dan Realm galloping at full strength.
"It seems to be a person, in black clothes? Forget it, it's none of my business, besides, if I don't stop at this speed, it's hard for me to meet it. ”
"What's the matter, have you arrived—where is this?" Rat Xiaoqi felt a "sudden brake", thinking that he had arrived at this second city, opened his eyes and asked blankly.
"It's nothing, it seems that a strong man flew over just now. He passed a "reassuring" emotion in his mind. "Xiao Qi, did you have any special 'feelings' just now?"
He was asking Rat Xiaoqi if he had noticed that figure in advance.
Such a fast way of rushing must have stimulated a lot of abilities, and maybe even cast some kind of "escape technique", it is impossible to emit energy fluctuations.
It's just that this speed makes the fluctuation not really emanate, and it goes to another place, so that the energy "shock" caused by the previous moment has no follow-up power, and it is almost natural "invisible" - making it difficult for a martial artist of Wei Jiu's realm to pay attention to him when he passes by.
"Hmm...... I still want to vaguely feel a powerful—dark power?" Rat Xiaoqi's uncertain voice appeared in Wei Jiu's mind, responding to him.
"Dark aura, dark ability?" Wei Jiu already believed it.
To say that before, when Wei Jiuqi Sea Realm and when he first arrived in the Dan Realm, Rat Xiaoqi's "detection" ability was far inferior to Wei Jiu's, maybe there was only one thing that could be compared, and that was the sense of smell.
But after discovering that Rat Xiaoqi belonged to the Warcraft group - at least it was not a "pure" demon beast, and after evolving to the third level, he found that what improved was not only the realm and strength - the sensitivity he had born from the interaction between Jindan and the outside world was almost unable to catch up with Rat Xiaoqi's own sensing ability.
The red-blooded horse paced, unhurriedly moving forward, and after discovering that the mysterious passer-by did not appear in the field of vision of the two, Wei Jiu raised his horsewhip again to enter the city as soon as possible.
He galloped two miles all the way, but he stopped again.
I saw that in the middle of the road ahead, there seemed to be a black figure lying down, motionless, just upside down, about 100 meters away from here, and there was no specificity.
The intention was moved, and the lower abdomen Jin Dan suddenly contracted and expanded, throwing out a touch of blue, and instantly disappeared into the dantian barrier and disappeared.
Thunder rushed into his eyes, and Wei Jiu opened them again......
