At this moment, seeing that Huo Xiu had no intention of retreating, the red-faced steward was slightly relieved.

However, his hands were not slow at all, and he was still rapidly turning through the pages of text.

Finally, the red-faced steward finally found the task promulgated by Yue Du. I saw that he immediately cleared his throat and began to read the content of the task to Huo Xiu according to the fixed procedure.

"Mission No. 9626 was promulgated by Yue Du, an advisor to the Alchemy Hall and an elder of the outer gate. We are now looking for an outer disciple to serve as an alchemy assistant, working no more than three times a month, and no more than one day each time. A minimum of 3,000 contribution points will be given as a reward every month. ”

Listening to the red-faced steward reading the content of the task, the surrounding martial artists all had gloating expressions, but Huo Xiu did not have the slightest intention and waited for the red-faced steward to issue this task to him.

But as he read it, the red-faced steward's voice suddenly rose sharply, and he almost roared out.

"This quest has been claimed and is currently being tested. Once the test passes, this task will disappear. If not, the ban will be lifted and others can continue to receive it. ”

Seeing that someone had already received the task first, the red-faced steward immediately became furious. He finally met an idiot, and was expected to fool him into a lot of money. Now that other stewards have taken the lead, how can he not be angry!

Compared with the extreme fury of the red-faced manager, Huo Xiu's face was much calmer. He had long known from the mouths of everyone that this task was very difficult, and almost no one could complete it.

Even now, this task is preempted, and it is estimated that it will be difficult for the guy who received the task to complete it. So, this should just be an accident.

Although he comforted himself like this, Huo Xiu was still afraid that there would be extraneous branches, so he raised his head and looked around uneasily.

At this time, Huo Xiu also found that the surrounding warriors began to make noise again.

"This red-faced steward is really unlucky, he finally deceived an idiot, and he didn't want someone to take the lead. ”

"This kid's life is really hard, and there is already a fool who has taken the tank for him. ”

"Why don't he leave quickly, why stay here?"

Just as everyone was at a stalemate, suddenly, there was a miserable cry from the back door of the hall in the distance.

It seemed that the long-awaited show had finally been staged, and after hearing the screams, the outer disciples immediately turned their heads, craned their necks, and stared at the back door of the hall.

I saw a small fat man with round limbs, crying and rushing out of the back door.

When the fat man rushed closer, everyone was surprised to find that this guy's skin seemed to be burned, and blood bubbles were layered one after another, all over his body.

What's even more terrifying is that these blood bubbles are constantly expanding and growing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and after reaching a certain level, they explode violently. The pus and blood that spurted out of it even corroded small holes in the nearby bluestone floor.

Seeing this situation, the nearby outer disciples avoided it one after another, lest they be affected by the pond fish. At the same time, some well-informed disciples also began to whisper.

"The blood in the body can corrode the bluestone floor, it seems that this kid is not lightly poisoned. ”

"The whole body is covered with blood bubbles like burns, and the blood in the body is extremely corrosive, which should be the heat poison of the Sun Grass. ”

"This kid is dead, the poison of the Burning Sun Grass is so strong that even those inner disciples are difficult to resist. ”

What happened next was just as these outer disciples said. I saw that the poisoned little fat man hadn't run a few steps, and his body was like a molten candle, quickly melting at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The first to melt were his legs, which made the little fat man instantly incapacitated. Rao was like this, he still grabbed the ground with both hands and crawled forward desperately. At the same time, the screams in his throat were even more miserable.

Although the scene was unusually bloody, not a single disciple stepped forward. Because they know that this is the path of martial arts. One wrong step and you will never recover. Moreover, this little fat man was already terminally ill, and only those legendary third-order or even fourth-order elixirs could save one of his lives.

Gradually, the little fat man's body melted more and more. Finally, with a heart-wrenching scream, he turned into a puddle of pus, leaving no trace of anything else.

Seeing that the show was over, the onlookers also dispersed, and many even left the hall directly. It's no wonder that they stayed here just to watch this good show, and now they have feasted their eyes, and there is no point in staying any longer.

At this time, Huo Xiu also came back to his senses. At this time, his face kept twitching, obviously stimulated a lot.

"If that little fat man's next task is the mission issued by Elder Yue, then will I end up miserable like him? ”

Asking himself, Huo Xiu also began to be a little afraid, and even wanted to leave. But thinking of his plan, he had to bite the bullet and stay. Now, the only thing he can do is to look forward to someone else taking over Yue Du's task.

However, Huo Xiu's luck didn't seem to be very good. Because at this moment, he clearly heard the red-faced steward shouting excitedly: "The recipient of Mission No. 9626 failed to pass the test, and now the ban is lifted, and other disciples can receive it freely." ”

Immediately afterwards, the red-faced steward said cordially to Huo Xiu: "This little friend, Mission No. 9626 can already be collected, please hand over the identity card to me, and I will take over this task for you now." ”

Before Huo Xiu could react, the outer disciples around him immediately turned their heads and looked at Huo Xiu in unison, and even many disciples were called back by their companions to watch this good show together.

looked at Huo Xiu again, but he was standing in front of the counter in a daze, as if he was stimulated by the scene just now, and he hadn't come back to his senses yet.

Seeing this, the outer disciples who were watching also began to make noise.

"Why is this kid motionless, shouldn't he be scared stupid!"

"He didn't give up the task quickly and leave here, the little fat man just now was a lesson from the past. ”

"Hmph! That red-faced steward is notoriously difficult, and once he is entangled, he will have to shed a layer of skin, and this kid will probably not be able to escape. ”

At this time, the red-faced steward was also afraid that Huo Xiu would regret it, so his face sank, and he threatened sharply: "You kid is really unreasonable! I finally found Mission No. 9626 for you, but now you are motionless, are you teasing me!? It seems that I have to teach you a lesson!"
