There are three, six, nine and so on, and the spirit beasts in the spiritual realm, according to the different power of the bloodline, are also divided into several levels: end, mortal, human, demon, immortal, god, and saint. The spirit beasts at the bottom level are the lowest, and they are also the most distributed spirit beasts in the spirit realm, they have no race to which they belong, they do not have the power of the bloodline inherited by the race, and their cultivation in their lifetime will not exceed the Ning Yuan Realm.

And from the mortal level, they are all spirit beasts with heads and faces, at least they can trace the race. For example, the Earth Flame Beasts that often haunt the Forest of the Eastern Expedition contain extremely thin bloodlines of the Heavenly Fury Divine Flame Beasts, and they are a side branch of the Heavenly Fury Divine Flame Beasts that cannot be far away, but they only have a trace of racial inheritance, and they have already thrown off a large number of ordinary spirit beasts. As for the human-level demon level in the back, and so on.

And the existence at the god level, that is, most of the orthodox races of the royal family, such as the four fierce beasts, the four divine beasts, and the previously mentioned Heavenly Fury Divine Flame Beast body, are god-level spirit beasts, they are extremely powerful, and they are often monstrous and roaring in the sky. And above the god-level spirit beasts, there is the mysterious race that lives in the legend, and the starry sky giant beast clan known as the guardian of the Heavenly Dao.

Wan Ning's goal here was to absorb an innate eighth- or ninth-rank earth fire beast. First, the body of the Earth Fire Beast is relatively strong, and the meridians will be relatively tougher, and secondly, the probability of the Earth Fire Beast being infested is among the best among mortal-level spirit beasts, and it is relatively easy to catch.

Because Wan Ning couldn't capture the target spirit beast by himself, he could only choose to hire mercenaries. And this kind of easier task needs to pay much less, and the price is still within the range of Wannings.

"Young Master Wan, why did you get here?"

Suddenly, someone behind him patted him on the shoulder, and Wan Ning turned around, only to almost hit the strong chest muscles in his back. Wan Ning hurriedly took a few steps back, looked up at the giant man, and didn't recognize who it was for a while.

"Don't you remember me, young master? I'm Li Haolong, Li Haofeng's younger brother, and the second brother of the Li family who used to come to the house to eat and drink. ”

The giant man patted his chest and said with a smile.

"Oh oh! It turned out to be Second Brother Li, disrespectful and disrespectful, since Brother Li was promoted by my father three years ago, I rarely see the two eldest brothers, but I don't know why Second Brother Li came to this Eastern Expedition Town to work hard. ”

Although he hasn't seen him for a few years, Li Haolong's appearance has changed a lot, but after a closer look, he can still recognize it. This Li family brother turned out to be a servant of the Mujiang Mansion, and the two brothers were not highly talented, and they were not accepted as disciples by the sect, so they served under Wan Canghai and had a very good relationship with the Wan family.

But after all, the two of them can cultivate spiritually, and after accumulating years of cultivation, they have finally made great progress, and the two brothers have stepped into the innate realm, plus they are serious and responsible for their work, so they were transferred by Wan Canghai to the checkpoint of managing the Lin'an Mansion of the Shogunate Prefecture, and the two brothers went to the mansion to thank Wan Canghai before taking office.

"There's nothing going on over there, my eldest brother can handle it alone. I was bored, so I brought a few good brothers to the Forest of the Eastern Expedition to work hard, and I worked for a year or two, and the effect was good, I don't know what Young Master Wan has to do here. ”

Li Lao Er touched his chin and thought about it, and then asked out loud.

"To tell you the truth, I want to capture an Earth Fire Beast with an innate eight-stage realm, but because my father and I have different opinions, I can only come here alone to try my luck. ”

Wan Ning said, but concealed things related to the meridians.

"You see, this is a coincidence, I just received a task yesterday, to go to the central area on the outskirts of the Eastern Expedition Forest to collect a Diyang comfrey. Diyang comfrey takes root in fifty years, sprouts in fifty years, and blooms in fifty years, and is a medicinal material that is very hot for fire-based spiritual cultivators or pill medicine masters. And there are three earth fire beasts entrenched there, and they can't handle it easily, so they hired us. You're following us, we're on a mission, and you're holding an Earth Fire Beast. ”

Li Lao Er suggested.

"It's... This is too troublesome Second Brother Li... I don't know how Second Brother Li receives his remuneration. ”

Although Wan Ning was quite moved to hear it, he was still reserved on the surface.

"What kind of remuneration to talk about, what trouble is not troublesome, my two brothers of the Li family have followed Master Wan for seven or eight years, fortunately with the guidance and support of adults, today can be regarded as barely mixed up with the appearance of individuals. Without further ado, you come with me, and we'll leave right away. ”

Li Lao Er seemed to be a person who did things vigorously, solved the problem in three or two sentences, and then pulled Wan An, who was embarrassed, to the outside of the tavern.

"This little friend, do you still need to publish your registration task? ”

The young man at the counter asked Wan Ning, who was half-dragged away.

"No... No need, ahhh

Wan Ning replied with a wave of his hand, only to nearly trip over the threshold.

"Brother Li, who is this person. ”

Wan Ning followed Li Lao Er to the station, there were four men sitting in the small courtyard, playing mahjong with grass and cigarettes, one of the thin men took out a handful of spirit stones and threw them to the others, scolding in his mouth, and then looked at the two Wan Ning who walked into the small courtyard, and asked out loud.

"Skinny Monkey, this little brother is my nephew, and he is on a mission with us this time, taking an earth fire beast away. ”

Li Lao Er took out a grass cigarette from the thin monkey's pocket, lit it for himself, and then replied.

"It's not good, the materials of an earth fire beast are worth a lot of spirit stones. ”

The man called Skinny Monkey pursed his lips and said with some reluctance.

"Besides, I'll unscrew your monkey's head, have I ever treated you badly with me for so long? Now I will be reluctant to let you do my nephew a small favor. It's okay... Shaojun, these people don't speak well, but they are good brothers brought out by me, so you don't need to meet them. ”

Li Lao Er said a little angrily, and then made a compensatory note to Wan Ning, but almost spit out the word young master.

"Second brother, why is your nephew's surname Wan not surnamed Li. ”

Another white-faced young man teased.

"You know a fart, this is my mother's person, don't say so much, hurry up and pack up your things and get out of with me, and start working." ”

Li Lao Er looks very informal, but he is very thoughtful and speaks without leakage, and it is precisely such a person who dares to become the leader of a mercenary group, with a few or even dozens of people in the Eastern Expedition Town to do the work of licking blood from the knife edge.

Although these people looked like stragglers, they were extremely disciplined, and several people quickly packed up and set out on the road of the task under the advice of Li Laoer's three orders.

"Boss, a little to the west, to the east is the territory of the cold python, it has been in estrus recently, it is very dry, for the sake of caution, it is better for us to take a detour. ”

The short man leading the way in front of him held the map in his hand, observing his surroundings as he walked, when he suddenly stopped and suggested to the people behind him.

"Okay, the premise of everything is safety first, let's take a long detour, don't disturb it. ”

Li Lao Er thought for a while, then nodded in agreement.

"The eldest brother who leads the team even knows these things clearly. ”

Wan Ning, who was walking in the middle of the line, sighed.

"I see that the little nephew has just come to the Forest of the Eastern Expedition to take risks, as a professional mercenary group, you must have a clear and clear understanding of the territorial overlords in the forest, otherwise you will suffer a big loss, our group has spent a lot of money to collect very valuable information from various places. ”

The thin monkey, who walked leisurely at the end, said, with a sneer in his words. He wasn't deliberately hostile to Wan Ning, it's just that he owed a sum of money in the casino before, and he wanted to use today's mission to collect a little more spirit stones to pay off the gambling debt, but Wan Ning was going to pull away an earth fire beast as soon as he came, which made him very dissatisfied.

"I see, Wan was taught. ”

Wan Ning didn't care, he was very clear about his definition, he was not the son of the Lord of Wanfu in this forest, but he was just an acquired nine-stage small spiritual cultivator who was easy to die without a corpse if he lacked the protection of a few scattered cultivators, plus he did have a request for others, so his posture was naturally very low.

Seeing Wan Ning's respectful attitude, the thin monkey could only snort impatiently, but he also felt that it was boring to make it difficult for Wan Ning, so he stopped talking.

"Xiao Zhouzi, why haven't we arrived yet, it's still early, why don't you rest first?"

Half an hour passed, and a few people were a little tired from walking, so Li Lao Er wanted to beckon everyone to sit down and rest.

However, at this moment, the short man who took the lead suddenly motioned to the others to hold their breath, and he tiptoed to the bush in front of him, carefully breaking the grass, and the sight that greeted him made everyone exclaim in low exclamation.
