Chapter 263: Arriving at Jade Dragon Mountain (Second Watch, Asking for Recommendation, Asking for Collection)
When the Soul Eater Demon Venerable heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Silverfish, you're talking about dark demons. He's a good candidate, but he's also short on manpower in Kawaki. Originally, I was going to send him to Hemu Town to find out the news in the next few days!"
The silverfish shook the feather fan in his hand and said with a smile: "Why should your lord be in such a hurry, there is just a painted skin in Hemu Town." Anyway, there is still some time before the gap in the invisible barrier is opened again, so we can wait for the dark demon to hunt down Huo Xiu before transferring him to Hemu Town. β
The Soul Eater replied in agreement. Then, he glanced at the rockslide beside him.
"Call me the Dark Demon, I have something important to explain!"
The rockslide was already eager to get out of here, so after receiving the order, he immediately crawled out.
A short time later, a vague figure floated in.
"Lord Soul Eater, do you have something to do with me?"
The Soul Eater Demon Venerable nodded and said, "Yes, Dark Demon. We have just received reports that the landslide operation has failed. β
The Dark Demon snorted and sneered.
"I knew right now that guy was just a faΓ§ade. will only blindly pursue the realm, and ignore the polishing of strength. β
The Soul Eater Demon Venerable smiled and responded, "Dark Demon, now is not the time to criticize. Huo Xiu's kid suppressed my demon compatriots one after another, and he was really a thorn in his eye. So, this time, I decided to send you to the Jade Dragon Pass to end Huo Xiu's life. β
The Dark Demon immediately bowed down and said, "It's my honor to serve you, so I'll wait for my good news." β
The Dark Demon said, turning away. At this moment, the Soul Eater Demon Venerable suddenly stopped him.
"Dark Demon, this place is nearly a thousand miles away from Jade Dragon Mountain, I'll let Bai Hao give you a ride. β
"This ......"
The Dark Demon's body trembled, and he seemed to hesitate.
"My lord, those Terran hunts are becoming more and more frequent now. If the White Trumpet stays with you, it can take you away from them quickly. Otherwise......"
Before the dark demon could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the silverfish.
"Dark Demon, you underestimate my silverfish. With the formation and magic force I laid out, even if they were Terran Transformation Realm martial artists in person, it would be difficult to find this place. β
At this time, the Soul Eater Demon Venerable also continued: "Dark Demon, this action is very important, you better go and return quickly. After that, there are more important tasks waiting for you. β
When the Dark Demon heard this, he agreed.
And just as the Dark Demon and the others set off, Huo Xiu and the others also left the post station and headed towards Jade Dragon Mountain.
Unlike the rest of the Southern Regions, Yulong Mountain is covered in snow all year round. This is because its mountain is extremely high, thousands of feet long. As a result, the temperature is much cooler than elsewhere, and the rain is generally abundant in the south, resulting in a thick layer of snow accumulated over the years. If you want to get involved, you must be well prepared for the cold in advance.
It stands to reason that such a place with difficult conditions is not suitable for the survival of the human race, let alone a pass.
However, Yulong Mountain is held between Hemu Town and the neighboring Qinghe Town, and it is the only way for the two towns to travel back and forth.
Therefore, in order to facilitate control, Hemu Town set up a pass on the halfway of Yulong Mountain, and arranged for the local Haoqiang of four cities such as Cangshan City to be stationed there.
Now, it is the He family of Jiulian City who guards this place. It's just that because his old patriarch died and needed to go home for funeral, he was replaced by the Tantang in Hemu Town.
Along the way, Guo Wei gave a general introduction to the situation at the Yulong Pass. Most of them were first-time visitors, so they were very interested.
Only Ji Duyi clasped his hands, looking quite disdainful.
Although this action was not obvious, it was still captured by Huo Xiu.
He immediately quickened his pace and approached.
"What's wrong? Ji Duyi, it looks like you're quite familiar with this place!"
Ji Duyi didn't even look back, but responded coldly: "Huo Xiu, why are you asking this? I don't need you to worry about my affairs!"
Huo Xiu was not annoyed, but laughed.
"Well, I naturally can't take care of your affairs. However, you owe me 300,000 merit points, you should give an explanation!"
Ji Duyi's face suddenly tightened, and his mouth muttered.
"As the captain, how could I be in arrears. Besides, I can't pay you merit points right away. Let's wait until we're done with our mission and get back to Riverwood. β
"Mission?"
Huo Xiu touched his nose and looked down at the prompts of the super task system. It was written that the fourth phase of the mission of serving on the front line of the 100,000 Mountains for one year had been started, guarding the Yulong Pass, and the completion rate of the task was only 10%.
Huo Xiu raised his head and said, "Okay then, I hope you can keep your promise." β
Huo Xiu said, he had already stepped over Ji Duyi and walked to the front.
At this moment, Ji Duyi looked at Huo Xiu's figure gradually moving away, and a few hints of terror quietly appeared at the corners of his mouth.
"Stinky boy, that's a full 300,000 merit points, I'm afraid that you will want your life, but you won't have your life to enjoy it! Wait, I will never let you leave here alive. β
These were just Ji Duyi's secret thoughts, Huo Xiu naturally didn't know, not to mention, he was now attracted by the scene in front of him.
I saw that on the cliff in the distance, a pass made of black stone faintly appeared, which was unusually eye-catching in the snow.
Compared to Riverwood Town, this pass is much smaller, at most a tenth stronger.
However, it is in danger. On one side is a thousand-foot mountain, and on the other side is a canyon with no bottom visible. The only way to there was also guarded by this pass.
It can be said that if you want to cross the Jade Dragon Mountain, there is no other way than to pass through this pass.
This pass is the Jade Dragon Pass.
At this time, Guo Wei, who was walking in the front, also noticed it, and immediately shouted: "Brothers, we have been able to see the Jade Dragon Pass. Work harder and get there by the next hour. β
When everyone heard this, their spirits were lifted, and they did not feel that the road was rough and difficult. They took steps and picked up their pace.
However, the journey in the mountains seems to be very close, but it takes a lot of effort to get there, and they are moving forward in the snow. So, by the time we arrived, it was already two or three hours later.
Seeing this, Guo Wei straightened up and shouted at the city wall: "We are the warriors of Hemu Town, we have been ordered to come to the Yulong Pass to guard it, quickly open the city gate and let us in!"
However, what is paradoxical is that Guo Wei shouted a few times, but there was never half a figure on the city wall, let alone someone answering.
