Chapter 61: Dongfang Yong's Dilemma
"Senior Brother Zhen, come here!" Xue Ruyu's expression was slightly excited, and he was hurriedly greeting Zhen Yinjian at this time.
Zhen Yinjian walked up, followed Yang Yan and his party to say hello, and then a group of five people marched towards the Brute Forest in the north of Tianhuang Mountain.
This mission lasted for one month, and the team composed of Zhen Yinjian's sect disciples was required to complete the hunting task of at least three white-headed innate realm beasts. This is not too much, but not too much, and it is not a small test for this team.
Under the leadership of Yang Yan, they drove towards the Brute Beast Forest at noon that day. The five-man squad wasn't moving fast, and they were always on the lookout for possible attacks.
Although Tianhuang Mountain, where the sect is located, has been swept many times and there are few fierce beasts, there are always some small beast groups that migrate from other territories from time to time, and sometimes there are large fierce beasts equivalent to the cultivation of the Innate Spirit True Realm in these beast groups, which is definitely a nightmare existence for ordinary disciples.
A few years ago, a team of the sect Xiaobi encountered a fierce beast attack, and finally all of them died, which caused a lot of impact in the sect. Later, several great elders of the sect and several true disciples of the sect swept away these fierce beasts with the elite of the sect, and once again cleared Tianhuang Mountain.
There has been such a precedent, and of course an old Jianghu like Yang Yan will be more wary of the terrifying beast group that may be encountered.
Departing at noon and arriving at night, Yang Yan's team arrived at the place where the mission was located - the Fierce Beast Forest. Zhen Yinjian stood in front of this dense and boundless forest, and felt that there were noisy sounds in the forest from time to time, and there were more poisonous snakes and beasts inhabiting the forest. The wild breath was swept by the south wind and hit his face, giving off a fishy smell. Looking at this green forest again, I saw some eyes that didn't know the roots, and the bloodthirsty feeling made people shudder.
Seeing such a situation, Zhen Yinjian's heart sank, and he knew that this mission might not be easy. Just looking at the number of beasts emerging in this forest, it can be expected that this is almost a paradise for beasts, a gathering place for fierce beasts.
"The situation is more difficult than imagined, everyone must be careful in this mission and follow my orders!"
The old Yang Yan was quiet and frightened at the moment, he looked at this forest from afar, and from time to time he jumped up to the towering trees, and jumped down soon after looking into the distance, and said such a thing.
A group of people nodded silently, everyone knew that the current dangerous difficulty of the Fierce Beast Forest must have exceeded their expectations, and if they want to obtain a good sect ranking, they will be put aside for the time being, and how to complete the task is the top priority.
"We moved back to back, cutting through long grass and vines with weapons in hand, and everyone remembered to move lightly. ”
Yang Yan gave the order, and the group silently carried it out. At this moment, Yuxia's body beside Dongfang Yong trembled, alarming Zhen Yinjian on the side.
"Don't be afraid, it'll be fine. Although this forest is large, the fierce beasts are afraid that they will not be dense, after all, it is only through cultivation and adventure that the fierce beasts can be achieved. ”
Zhen Yinjian whispered into the ear of Yuxia on the side, trying to comfort the girl who looked a little nervous.
"I'm not afraid, don't be nosy, take care of yourself. The maid Yuxia's face changed, and her expression towards Zhen Yinjian was obviously not good.
Shaking his head, Zhen Yinjian didn't want to say anything, he knew that this Yuxia girl had a deep misunderstanding of herself, and she was afraid that it would be difficult to make friends, let alone complete the task of conquest.
What would it be like if the mission of conquest failed? Zhen Yinjian thought about it while acting, he didn't dare to try rashly, if it was wiped out, it would be too much of a loss.
The five of them were marching in a ball little by little, and suddenly Yuxia let out a scream, and the sound pierced through the stratus clouds, stirring up the fierce beast forest I don't know how many undercurrents of ups and downs!
It turned out that a poisonous snake with a thick arm was stepped on by Yuxia, and it burst out and bit Yuxia's snow-white calf, but in an instant, a row of tooth marks appeared on the woman's smooth calf, and there was blue-black blood flowing out.
Yang Yan turned around quickly, and slashed at the black-skinned poisonous snake with a sword, cutting his body into three sections, and the third section of the poisonous snake in the fierce beast forest trembled violently, and he died in a short time.
Yuxia lay on the ground, squeezing the wound hard, trying to squeeze out the poisonous blood, and at this time, Dongfang Yong came over, he took out a piece of white yarn to cover Yuxia's wound, sucked a few mouthfuls hard, and spit out the poisonous blood.
At this time, I don't know if it was injured or what, Yuxia watched the man she liked personally suck blood for him to heal, and her face was red.
After bandaging Yuxia, Dongfang Yong made his request to Yang Yan:
"Senior Brother Yang, Yuxia is my close maid and grew up together. This time, because the mission hurt her calf, I am afraid that it will affect her movements, so I ask my senior brother to slow down and wait for her injuries to heal before moving forward. ”
When Dongfang Yong made such a request, Yuxia's eyes were even more grateful, and her heart was full of reverence and admiration for the man she loved at the moment.
"Dongfang Yong, I just promised to take care of you to complete the task of the sect Xiaobi this time, but I didn't promise to take care of her. Moreover, this woman's cultivation is low, and she is injured and has difficulty moving, so she can't be kept. If it's because she interferes with the completion of our mission, will you take this responsibility?"
Yang Yan's face was not good, and he looked at Dongfang Yong coldly, and he didn't seem to sell the face of the eldest son of the family.
"This ......" Hearing this, Dongfang Yong's expression was a little hesitant, and his face was even more struggling. Originally, with his relationship with Yuxia, he would not sit on her hand and ignore her. But this time the sect Xiaobi is very important to him, if he can't boost his status and strength in Qihuang Zhengzong, and fall in the small competition, I'm afraid he will lose the trust of the royal family.
Although he was born as the prince of Fubei Kingdom, but his father had eight sons, and the competition between the princes was still very fierce, he finally spent the price to enter the Qihuang Zhengzong, and even spent a lot of money to invite this sword-granting disciple Yang Yan to contribute to his sect Xiaobi, if because of Yuxia affecting the completion of the sect's Xiaobi task, he would be extremely difficult to accept.
"Dongfang Yong, you can think clearly, the absence of a miscellaneous disciple will not affect anything. If you delay time for this, I can't guarantee the results of your sect's small competition this time. ”
The corners of Yang Yan's mouth were grinning, and his laughter was dry and ugly. What he likes to see the most is the scene of abandoning his partner, because for him, such a painful experience also makes him understand a truth: only he is the most reliable!
"Childe, I'll go back by myself, there's no problem, this time the sect is too important, Yuxia doesn't want to affect Childe's plan because of herself!"
Seeing that her master was embarrassed, Yuxia's jade-like face was a little pale, she bit her red lips and made up her mind faintly.
"That's right, Brother Dongfang, your maid is very sensible. She found a safe place to hide first, and then returned to the sect when her injuries were healed. Although you have lost your status as a miscellaneous disciple, if you become a sword conferrer or even a true disciple in the future, it will not be a big deal to casually insert your cronies into the sect. ”
Yang Yan smiled noncommittally, he persuaded Dongfang Yong on his lips, but he was secretly laughing in his heart. Where is the sword teaching disciple or even the true disciple who is so good. Not to mention the top true disciple of the sect, let's just say that he, a disciple of the sword, doesn't know how much great merit he has made for the sect, and he has had a lot of opportunities to improve his cultivation, which is why he was reluctantly favored by an elder of the sect, and this is why he has his current status.
As for the true disciple, it must be a disciple with great qualifications and contributions to the sect to be able to obtain it, and there are only twelve places in the entire sect. Any disciple with sufficient qualifications can challenge the True Disciple in order to seize his position and resources.
The true disciple who can gain a firm foothold in such a cruel competition is definitely one of the best young masters in the sect, and can be called the best among the contemporary young disciples of the Qihuang Orthodox Sect.
This Dongfang Yong is just a cultivator of Zhen Yinjian's innate spiritual realm, and even Dan Xiu is born in martial arts, not to mention any big contributions and opportunities.
Among the twelve true disciples of the sect, only one is a disciple of Dan Xiu, and his combat power is still ranked last. Dan Xiu's difficulty in competing for true disciples in Qihuang Authentic Sect can be seen!
"Yuxia, I have wronged you this time, when you return to the family, I will take you into the sect as soon as possible in the future, now quickly recover from your injuries and go back." ”
Dongfang Yong hesitated for a moment, and finally made up his mind, smiling bitterly and comforting his maid Yuxia.
"Yes, Childe. Yuxia nodded, although she agreed, her eyes were full of humiliation, obviously she was not willing to leave Dongfang Yong like this, and she was not willing to look forward to the day when it might not be.
"Slow! Dongfang is fierce, I think this forest is quite dangerous, Yuxia girl has average kung fu, and she stays in the forest alone, I'm afraid she will not be able to defeat these fierce beasts." ”
Zhen Yinjian stood up at this moment, he realized that this was a good opportunity worth seizing, and hurriedly explained to Dongfang Yong.
Dongfang Yong didn't say a word at the moment, but Yang Yan raised the corner of his eye, looking at Zhen Yinjian with cruel eyes. And Yuxia, the maid on the side, who originally intended to stay, trembled, and her face turned pale with fear.
She looked at her master Dongfang Yong with expectant eyes, and at the same time looked at Yang Yan expectantly, and found that both of them were silent at this time, and her heart instantly cooled.
"Miss Yuxia, don't be afraid, I, Zhen Yinjian, still have the strength of two arms, just let me carry the girl on my back. When your injuries are healed, you will naturally not delay the team's trip at that time. ”
Zhen Yinjian smiled and showed eight white teeth at Yuxia.
"You don't have a problem with your shortcomings?" Yang Yan looked at Zhen Yinjian strangely, not understanding why he was helping a maid.
"If Brother Zhen can help, I am grateful. Dongfang Yong said a few polite words, and his face was a little ashamed.
If it weren't for the fact that he was a lowly Dan Xiu, how could he fall to the point of letting his maid be protected by others?
