Chapter 102: Black-robed Emissary, Intermediate Source Stone
When Xu Hao saw the tall man in black robe standing at the exit of the canyon, the prompt sound of the Demon Hunting Emblem sounded in his mind at the same time-
"No. A0365 successfully passed the first stage of this A-level mission, rewarded with 300 points, rewarded with 30 low-level source stones, obtained a bronze-level reward, and obtained two low-grade Yuan Spirit Pills. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"Since the number A0365 is the first three demon hunters to complete the first stage of this mission, an additional 200 points will be rewarded, 20 low-level source stones, and an additional bronze-level reward will be obtained, and five catties of spirit rice will be obtained."
……
After listening to the prompt sound of the Demon Hunting Empalette, Xu Hao smiled slightly, and was not surprised by what he had obtained from the two bronze level rewards.
After all, it is the lowest level of reward, and naturally it cannot be compared with the gold level reward. It is already good to have two low-grade Yuan Ling Pills plus five catties of Ling Rice.
If these two things are bought with points, they will get at least five or six hundred points, which is equivalent to the harvest of killing an ordinary boss-level demonic creature.
Xu Hao didn't ask Leng Xiaogang what reward he had received, but walked directly to the black-robed envoy opposite.
Leng Xiao came back to his senses just now, and hurriedly followed up and asked, "Boss, what is Lingmi?" Is it delicious? He also got five catties of spirit rice and two yuan spirit pills.
Xu Hao seemed to have expected him to ask this, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he said lightly: "One pound of spiritual rice, you can exchange it for five canned meat or ten packs of instant noodles here, you can choose yourself." ”
Hearing this, Leng Xiaogang suddenly smiled, and as he walked, he counted his fingers and said: "Five canned meat for one catty, Xiaogang has five catties, you can change more than one..."
Xu Hao shook his head and smiled, if he directly told Leng Xiaogang that the spirit rice was delicious, or directly said that half a catty of spirit rice could fill his stomach, it was estimated that the few catties of spirit rice in his hand would be eaten up immediately, which was not something Xu Hao wanted to see.
Lingmi can not only quickly fill hunger and restore physical strength, but also has a certain effect on treating injuries and diseases, and is a kind of post-war supplement often used by demon hunters in the future.
If Leng Xiaogang eats it all like ordinary rice, it will be too wasteful, and Xu Hao naturally won't let him do it.
The two of them walked one after the other, and stopped about three meters in front of the tall black-robed man standing at the exit of the canyon.
Xu Hao looked at the black-robed man opposite him with his eyes closed and standing motionless like a sculpture, his expression was slightly solemn, and his eyes became deep.
Similar to when he met the purple-robed envoy, a mysterious force distorted Xu Hao's vision, and he couldn't see the other party's face clearly, and he couldn't even feel the slightest breath of the other party.
If it weren't for the black-robed envoy who appeared in advance, Xu Hao's current perception would not have been able to sense his existence at all; Closing your eyes to perceive where he is is no different from a dead man without the breath of life.
He is the black-robed emissary, at least a powerful existence at the level of a brigadier general, and he is the existence that is the best at fighting among the five-color emissaries.
In addition, the black-robed messenger is also the executor of various important instructions issued by the Demon Hunter Emblem, and is endowed with the power of life and death, as long as a demon hunter does something that violates the rules stipulated by the Demon Hunting Crest, then it will not be long before the black-robed emissary will appear by his side and punish him accordingly.
Therefore, in their previous lives, most demon hunters were in awe of black-robed emissaries.
Although all the actions of the black-robed emissary must be done according to the instructions of the demon hunter crest, his duties determined that he would often deal with the demon hunters in the future, which was completely different from the other four messengers who were elusive and rare.
In addition, his strength is so strong, so every demon hunter will try to have a good relationship with him as much as possible, at least not to leave him with bad feelings.
Finally, the black-robed envoys were also the largest number of five-color envoys, and there were more than ten black-robed envoys with different breaths that Xu Hao had personally contacted in his previous life.
There are also strong and weak among them, the strongest black-robed envoy Xu Hao has ever seen, and his strength has reached the terrifying general level, which is already a super existence that can easily pinch him to death in his previous life with one finger.
Facing the black-robed envoy in front of him with unfathomable strength, Xu Hao also felt a little more pressure in his heart, maintained a calm look on his face, and said solemnly: "Messenger." ”
Hearing this, the black-robed envoy who was originally still suddenly opened his eyes, and at the same time, a terrifying coercion that condensed into a substance immediately enveloped the bodies of Xu Hao and Leng Xiaogang, and the two of them were soon shocked to find that their bodies were actually unable to move.
At that moment, in the eyes of Xu Hao and Leng Xiaogang, the body of the black-robed envoy seemed to suddenly be enlarged a hundred times and a thousand times, giving people great spiritual oppression, making them involuntarily feel a sense of powerlessness and ant-like humility.
Leng Xiaogang panicked, and there was even a hint of fear in his eyes.
Xu Hao gritted his teeth and snorted, his eyes were still staring at the black-robed envoy without blinking, there was no nervousness, no fear, only firmness and fearlessness.
This will coercion came and went quickly, not even for a second, but it gave Xu Hao and Leng Xiaogang a feeling as if a century had passed.
"Not bad."
The black-robed envoy looked at Xu Hao, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
His voice was magnetic, and it sounded like it should be a middle-aged man.
The will that shocked the soul disappeared, and while Xu Hao breathed a sigh of relief, he secretly said in his heart: "It's so strong, at least at the level of a lieutenant general..."
Cold sweat was already breaking out on Leng Xiaogang's forehead, and he looked at the black-robed envoy nervously.
The black-robed man in front of him just glanced at him, giving him an incomparably terrifying feeling.
If it weren't for Xu Hao not moving, he would have run away a long time ago, and the farther away from this black-robed man, the better.
At this time, the black-robed envoy suddenly waved his hand, and dozens of colorful rays of light shot out, turning into different items, levitating beside the black-robed envoy, and automatically rotating slowly around his body.
"You're the first witcher here."
The black-robed envoy looked at Xu Hao and said coldly: "According to the rules, you can use the corresponding points to exchange two things from me for your use, so let's start now." ”
Xu Hao was a little surprised when he heard this, but he quickly reacted, and while he was slightly happy in his heart, his eyes fell on the dozens of items that revolved around the body of the black-robed messenger.
Compared with the various precious items provided by the purple-robed envoy for exchange, the value of these dozens of items of the black-robed envoy is much worse, whether it is weapons, protective gear, martial arts spell scrolls or some other special props, they are all relatively low-level, and there are no lethal items, but Xu Hao still saw what he wanted in it, and he quickly made a good choice.
He pointed to a small pile of glittering source stones and said, "I want them all, can I?" ”
"Yes."
The black-robed envoy replied lightly: "One intermediate source stone costs 100 points, and there are twenty here, which is 2,000 points." One more thing, let's say. ”
Hearing the affirmative answer, Xu Hao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi stored in the Intermediate Source Stone was more refined than the Low-level Source Stone, and the effect of absorbing one Intermediate Source Stone was equivalent to absorbing ten low-grade Source Stones, which could greatly increase his cultivation efficiency.
At the beginning of the Scarlet Era, the Demon Hunting Emblem was only available for low-level source stones, and the appearance of medium-level source stones at this time was already a relatively rare item.
This kind of good thing that can speed up the improvement of his own strength, of course Xu Hao will not let it go.
He originally thought that he would definitely not have time to open up the fourth dantian qi pocket tomorrow, but now that he had these twenty intermediate source stones, the situation would be very different.
"That's a bottle of Yuan Ling Pill, I want it." Xu Hao pointed to a small turquoise bottle with the three small characters of Yuan Ling Pill engraved on it.
No matter when, Yuan Qi is the most important reliance of a demon hunter, as long as he buys this bottle of Yuan Spirit Pill again, plus the dozen or so Yuan Spirit Pills he harvested from killing boss-level demonic creatures before, Xu Hao basically doesn't have to worry about his lack of vitality for the next task, and he can let go of his hands and feet to give full play to his strength.
The unit price of the two things Xu Hao chose is naturally not the most expensive, but the total value of each item exceeds that of other single items.
"A bottle of lower grade Yuan Ling Pill is ten pills, each capsule has 100 points, one bottle is 1000 points, plus twenty intermediate source stones, a total of 3000 points are needed, are you sure to exchange these two things?" The black-robed messenger asked.
"Confirm the exchange." Xu Hao said.
As soon as the words fell, Xu Hao's mind sounded the prompt of the Demon Hunting Emblem:
"No. A0365 consumes 3,000 points, and successfully exchanged twenty intermediate source stones and a bottle of lower-grade Yuan Spirit Pill (10 pills) from the black-robed messenger, the points are successfully deducted, and the items have been transferred to the storage space, please check them yourself."
At the same time, among the items that swirled around the black-robed envoy, there was no longer the bottle of Yuan Spirit Pill and the pile of intermediate source stones.
Seeing that Xu Hao successfully paid 3,000 points, the corners of the black-robed envoy's mouth raised an arc, glanced at Xu Hao meaningfully, and said, "Boy, you have a lot of potential, this envoy is optimistic that you can complete this task alive." ”
Hearing this, Xu Hao was a little surprised in his heart, but he quickly nodded and smiled: "Then accept your auspicious words from the messenger." ”
"Here's your supplies for this mission, free."
The black-robed messenger magically took out a silver iron box and threw it to Xu Hao.
"Alright, next."
The black-robed envoy looked at Leng Xiaogang expressionlessly, and his tone was obviously much more indifferent: "According to the rules, except for the first demon hunter who arrived here, other demon hunters can only exchange points for one thing here in this envoy, big guy, you can choose one." ”
Leng Xiaogang was obviously a little afraid of the black-robed envoy, so he didn't answer, but looked at Xu Hao and whispered: "Boss, Xiaogang doesn't like him, let's go..."
Xu Hao held a small iron box in one hand, and pointed to something rotating around the black-robed messenger in the other, and said with a slight smile: "It's okay, you just choose that one and listen to me." ”
"Oh." Leng Xiaogang hesitated for a moment before nodding and saying, then looked at the black-robed envoy with a nervous face, and pointed to a faint yellow light mantra scroll in the suspended object according to Xu Hao's request, "Xiao Gang wants that." ”
The black-robed envoy raised his eyebrows, glanced at Xu Hao, and then said, "Junior Martial Arts Curse Scroll: Tiger Roar, you need 500 points, are you sure to exchange this item?" ”
Leng Xiaogang looked at Xu Hao again, and the latter nodded before he said, "Xiaogang wants this thing." ”
successfully deducted Leng Xiaogang's 500 points, and the spell scroll also disappeared, and the black-robed messenger also took out a small iron box and threw it to Leng Xiaogang, looking at the two of them and saying coldly: "Okay, you can find a place to rest nearby, as long as it is within the specified range, there will be no demonized creatures attacking you." Tomorrow at eight o'clock, the second phase of this A-class mission will start on time, so let's get ready. ”
"Remember, it is forbidden to leave the location of this messenger for a kilometer, otherwise you will bear the consequences!"
"Understood."
Xu Hao didn't talk nonsense, greeted Leng Xiaogang, left from the exit of the canyon quickly, and walked outside.
Behind, the black-robed envoy looked at their distant backs, his eyes flickered slightly, he didn't know what he thought, and the corners of his mouth raised a strange arc.
……
Xu Hao and Leng Xiaogang left the canyon and officially entered the boundary of the Western District.
There is a large residential area in front of it, there are no commercial buildings, and they are all relatively low residential buildings, which look a little old.
By this time, it was already approaching evening, the sky was gradually darkening, the wind was stronger, and the temperature had dropped significantly.
Xu Hao and Leng Xiaogang walked along the main road for a few minutes, the streets were very quiet all around, except for the stinking and rotting remains of dead corpses, there was not a single survivor in sight, and they couldn't sense the existence of any demonic creatures, just like a dead city, so quiet that people panicked.
"Boss, Xiaogang is hungry..."Leng Xiaogang covered his stomach and said sullenly.
"Don't make any noise, we'll eat later." After Xu Hao finished speaking, he climbed to the top of a three-storey residential building next to him, carefully observed and perceived the surrounding environment on one side, and finally his eyes fell on a small ancestral hall built by the mountain about 500 meters in the northwest direction, and then went downstairs to meet Leng Xiaogang and rush there.
After a few minutes, they came to the bottom of the stone steps leading to the ancestral hall above, and from here, there were about seventy or eighty stone steps, and the two of them quickly climbed to the highest point and came to the outside of the ancestral hall.
Xu Hao didn't sense the breath of a living person or a demonic creature inside, so he beckoned Leng Xiaogang to go in together.
This ancestral hall is very old, the four walls are carved with many murals of people working in ancient times, the wooden tables and chairs in the lobby are very messy, and even the tablets on the ancestral hall have been messed up, and it can be seen that no one has taken care of it for a while.
There are also a few rest rooms in the back hall, and the house is fairly clean because there are no rotting bones.
"Well, just rest here for the night."
Xu Hao and Leng Xiaogang returned to the spacious lobby, quickly cleaned up, and then each took out the cooking tools from the storage space, and began to boil the fire and water to prepare dinner.
Don't look at Leng Xiaogang's usual brain is not very bright, but he is very skilled in making food and cooking on fire, and along the way, he basically doesn't need Xu Hao to do anything, he can do it alone.
Of course, he was the one who ate the most in the end.
Xu Hao was depressed to find that the food he had prepared before the outbreak of the end times that could be eaten for more than a month was now running out after Leng Xiaogang joined.
Especially canned meat, it is estimated that it will be gone after eating this meal.
Now in his storage space, there is only a bag of 30 catties of raw rice and two boxes of instant noodles.
According to the speed at which they consumed food in the past two days, it is estimated that these foods will not last long - Leng Xiaogang can eat two catties of rice in one meal, and he can't eat enough.
Next, they had to find a way to replenish their food.
An hour later, it was completely dark.
The smell of rice overflowed and wafted out of the ancestral hall.
In the lobby, Xu Hao and Leng Xiaogang sat around the burning charcoal fire, each eating cooked rice and canned meat.
Xu Hao just lowered his head and drank a sip of broth, suddenly his heart jumped, and he suddenly looked up at the gate of the ancestral hall.
There, his gaze met a pair of inky black pupils... (To be continued.) )
