Thousands of miles of green mountains, thousands of miles of flowing water, is in the scorching sun.

By the stream, the water vapor rises.

syllable

A resounding slap in the face broke the silence by the stream.

"You said you, what's going on, it's been a few times, I obviously said that I wanted three spirit stones, but you can tell me how many of them are inside. A sturdy teenager shook the cloth bag in his hand and said.

"Yes, Demonfall, this is yours, what do you mean by letting us go home empty-handed. The little brothers below were gearing up one by one, punching and kicking at the Demon Fall.

During the beating, the Demon Fall never screamed, even though his hands and feet were bent to varying degrees, and his back was a little collapsed, he held back without saying a word, he knew that his howl would only make the beasts more excited, in exchange for a more stormy blow.

"Alright, okay, all stop. Lu Hong saw that the lesson was almost over, so he pressed his hand, and said condescendingly to the demon fallen: "If you still only have one piece next week, then you don't have to go back, it's not bad to make fertilizer for trees here, don't expect your cousin to come to save you, she has already forgotten you when she enters the inner door now." ”

After finishing speaking, Lu Hong and the others left laughing, leaving only the demon fall covered in bruises and the clear five fingerprints.

After a few people were far away, Demon Fall slowly got up and touched the five fingerprints with his hand, which hurt fiercely.

Looking at the direction they left, a determined flame ignited in the eyes of the demon fallen, and he swore in his heart, one day, I will let you taste all the humiliation I have suffered in the past, and repay it a hundred times, but now you still need to forbear.

He knows very well that this is a world where the strong are respected, the supremacy of force, the law of the jungle is vividly embodied, the weak have no right to speak, even the right to survive depends on the mercy of the strong, if you want to seek justice, you have to rely on your own fists, as for complaining to the elders of the sect, it is a joke, not to mention that Lu Hong also has an uncle who is an elder in the outer gate.

......

The continent where the Demon Fall is located is called the Chaos Demon Domain, there are many sects in the domain, there are countless dynasties, and from time to time there are strong men in the era of suppression who come out of nowhere to deter one side, and the sect he is in is only a second-rate sect, called the Magic Sect.

Although it is only a second-rate sect, it is also the overlord of this Qingmang Mountain, but not everyone can enter, if you don't have a certain talent, even if you give more money, there is no way to enter.

After the Demon Fall was defeated, his parents scattered all their wealth to let him in and mix with an outer disciple, which was still due to the fact that the talent of the Demon Fall was only a thin line.

Demon Fall limped and walked in small steps, thinking about the spirit stones, as the worst outer disciple of the kind, he only had one spirit stone to receive every week, which asked him how to gather the corresponding spirit stones in time.

This spirit stone is equivalent to money in the mortal world in the sect, and the gold is very expensive, in addition to being used for cultivation, if you want to exchange it for magic weapons or spirit pills, you have to rely on this thing, so everyone regards the spirit stone as their life, and it will not give people a chance to take advantage of it at all.

It is precisely because of the importance of the spirit stone that Lu Hong started the way to collect protection money, and every week, there are about a dozen disciples like Demon Fall who are exploited by Lu Hong, one or three, which is also a considerable number in the long run.

At the beginning, it was not that no one resisted, but Lu Hong has lived in an official family since he was a child, and he has a good grasp of flattery and bullying the weak.

He never messed with those hard bones, and he investigated everyone's background clearly through the uncle of the outer sect elder, except for those who couldn't be messed with, and the rest of the people who were as powerless and powerless as the Demon Fall were all on his list.

In the process of oppression, a disciple named Wang Cheng broke through to the second realm of enlightenment and planned to organize a rebellion.

The specific situation Demon Fall didn't know, but I heard that his final ending was very miserable, his hands and feet were abolished, and his cultivation was brutally beaten back to the first realm of enlightenment, if there was no adventure, I am afraid that it would be like this for the rest of his life, and because of this incident, their group of oppressed people knew that Lu Hong's true strength was not at all the second realm of enlightenment that they thought at the beginning, but the desperate third realm of enlightenment.

This matter is quite big, and even the elders who patrol the mountain are alarmed, but for Lu Hong's sake, he didn't punish too much, just handed over some spirit stones and finished the matter, it didn't hurt for him, and it didn't hurt his muscles and bones.

Because of this, those who were about to rebel were suppressed, and they did not dare to have different intentions.

Demon Fall was also one of the people who were about to move, if Wang Cheng's resistance was successful, then he was ready to join Wang Cheng's team and carry out the rebellion to the end, but unfortunately it failed, so he naturally gave up this thought.

In addition to Lu Hong's matter, there is another thing that also gives the demon a headache.

That's the big test in the near future.

The outer gate test is the most important test for all outer disciples, and if they don't, they will be directly cleared down the mountain by the master.

And this year is the second year that the Demon Fall has come to the outer gate, according to the assessment method of the slowest one year, if the Demon Fall can't break through to the second realm of enlightenment after a month, then he will have to go home.

Originally, according to the talent of the Demon Fall and the spirit stone of the sect, he could reach the second realm of enlightenment in two years, but who knew that there was the rise of the Lu Hong Gang, and he didn't use any spirit stones in the second year, and all of them were used to hand in.

Because of this, his talent judgment has dropped again and again, from being able to receive three spirit stones every week at the beginning to one a week now, which is not tragic.

Although it was difficult, life still had to be passed, and Demon Fall comforted himself back to his residence.

It was a dilapidated stone house, not even a room, just a mixture of stone slabs.

There is only one bed and a pair of chopsticks in the house, which is simple but does not lose the taste of life.

This is the living situation of most outer disciples, for the sect, they are basically dispensable, naturally they will not give too good living conditions, if it weren't for the sake of that large sum of money, there is no such thing as an outer disciple.

Demon Fall first lay down on the bed and rested for a while, the way back took all his strength, and when he slowly relaxed, the pain in his whole body completely exploded, he could only grit his teeth and persevere, with his current standard of living, he naturally couldn't afford those expensive healing elixirs.

After a while, it seemed like a few years had passed, and the pain faded like flowing water, and the mat under him was already wet, and it was all cold sweat.

His strength slowly recovered, and Demon Fall got up to make himself something to eat, and he had to go to work in the medicine garden in the afternoon, so he didn't have much time to rest at all.

......

In the medicine garden, the sun is scorching.

A thin boy was weeding, sweating like rain, his face was yellow and thin, and every swing seemed to use up all his strength, it was the demon who came to work in the medicine garden after eating.

Boom!

The sound of metal clashing suddenly sounded, and the huge reaction force shook the demon fall to the ground and sat down.

Demon Fall hurriedly looked around, and waited until it was confirmed before giving a sigh, fortunately this is an open space, otherwise it would not be enough to pay for sitting on the herbs for so long.

Then the Demon Fall got up in a huff and walked forward, wanting to see the culprit.

He threw the dirt away, and gradually the thing was exposed, and he picked it up.

"That's what knocked me down. Demonfall muttered to himself.

It was a small bronze tripod, blue all over, only the size of a palm, and it was engraved with various runes of the tooth, which was obscure.

Seeing that none of the runes on it were known to him, the Demon Fall put them in his pocket, anyway, it was an ownerless thing, so he should keep a souvenir.

In the evening, the senior brother in charge of the settlement came over, glanced at the results of the Demon Fall, and gave him a Xuanlian grass, which was the result of his two weeks, equivalent to a spirit stone.

At home at night, Demon Fall thought about how to get the spirit stone, and played with the small ding in his hand from time to time.

At present, he has almost two spirit stones with this Xuanlian grass, but there is still one short.

"Let's go to the mission hall tomorrow to have a look, I hope there is the kind of task that can get a spirit stone in a week. Thinking like this, he fell asleep, originally planning to practice at night, but the injury made him drowsy.

It's just that what Demon Fall didn't know was that not long after he fell asleep, the bronze Xiaoding on his chest glowed slightly, and it was actually repairing his body.

As the green light shrouded him, the scars on the Demon Fall's body were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye, which was a miracle.

......

The next day, Demonfall got up and stretched.

Why doesn't it hurt?

Demonfall wondered.

Obviously, he was beaten so hard yesterday, and according to the past practice, it was impossible to stop the pain without three or four days, but why did he not suffer from pain after only one day yesterday.

After thinking about it for a while, Demon Fall came to the conclusion that it should be that it has been beaten too much this year, and its body has developed resistance, which is why it will get better so quickly.

Thinking of this, Demon Fall was a little surprised, does this mean that his current physical body is stronger than that of other disciples, hmm?!

Don't think about this mess, Demon Fall took a sweet potato and went out, the tasks in the mission hall are all released in the morning, if you go late, those better tasks will have been robbed by others a long time ago.

Go out, turn left, and set off forward, all the way.

The Mission Hall is located in a canyon between two mountains, with high mountains on both sides, and only a stone path leads to it.

By the time the Demon Fall arrived at the Mission Hall, there were already quite a few disciples in it who were selecting tasks, all of them were low-level disciples like the Demon Fall.

Demon Fall stepped forward to check, but fortunately, there were not many people at this time, but it was still a little empty.

Scanning the rows down, one task after another comes into view.

Hey!

There is actually a guard task worth a spirit stone, and the most incredible thing is that the level requirement only needs to open a realm, and the only requirement is to be familiar with the nearby mountains and forests.

Intuitively, Demon Fall felt that this task was not as simple as it seemed, you must know that the general guard mission is only paid for one spirit coin, but this one is ten times higher.

But Demonfall finally accepted the task, because it was the most suitable and the only way to get a spirit stone in a week.

Take the task sheet to the counter, as long as you verify the cultivation, you can take the task.

While waiting, Demonfall was ready to see if there were any side quests to take on.

But at this moment, a sarcastic voice sounded from behind him, "It's really a big forest, there are all kinds of birds, just your skills still want to be a guard, and you are not afraid to laugh off people's big teeth." ”
