Chapter 35: Red Flame Ridge
Yun Fan suppressed the curiosity in his heart, now is not the time to care about others, now is the most important thing to quickly take the task and make money.
"Hello, I'm here to pick up the task. Yun Fan put the task list on the counter in front of the girl.
The girl looked at Yun Fan curiously, she already knew from the discussion just now that Yun Fan was the first place in this entrance assessment, but she didn't expect it to be a teenager who was only fourteen years old.
"Are you sure you want to take on this task?" the girl said with a little doubt, this three-star white-level task is generally only dared to be taken by martial artists above the middle stage of the quenching quadruple, I didn't expect this young boy to have this courage, should I say that he has commendable courage? Or is it a reckless personality?
Although the girl didn't say it explicitly, Yun Fan still heard the question in the girl's tone, and didn't take it to heart, and said smoothly and firmly: "Yes." ”
Hearing Yun Fan's answer, the girl nodded and didn't say anything, took the task list and made a record on the jade slip on the side. After handing the task list back to Yun Fan, the girl said softly: "Now that the record has been completed, as long as you bring the Cold Blood Fruit and Houtuzhi back to the mission hall, then you can get the corresponding reward, I wish you a smooth mission." ”
Yun Fan nodded, and walked out of the task hall under the different eyes of everyone.
......
Chiyan Ridge is about forty miles away from the boundary where Lingxiao Pavilion is located, not far and not too close, Yun Fan used to grow up alone in the barren mountains since he was a child, and he can be said to be quite familiar with the wild, which is also one of the reasons why Yun Fan chose this task.
Yun Fan went back to his residence, brought two sets of spare clothes, prepared some dry food and water, and set off towards Chiyanling.
This road didn't seem far, but even with Yun Fan's foot strength, it took more than half an hour to reach the foot of Chiyanling. As far as the eye can see, the eyes are full of greenery, and a whole mountain forest is like an ancient giant beast hovering between this heaven and earth, and there is no end in sight.
There are many fierce beasts and birds of prey in the Chiyan Mountains, and the strength of these fierce beasts is generally at the first level, but the fierce beasts of the second level are also often infested. These fierce beasts and birds of prey are ordinary quenching triple martial artists dare not be able to fight, it's not that they can't beat them, and there is no problem for quenching triple martial artists to deal with first-level fierce beasts.
But the crux of the matter is that this is the wild, the territory of the real fierce beast, when you are in a duel with a fierce beast, there may be one or more fierce beasts lurking on the side, so generally people who enter the Chiyan Ridge alone should avoid the fierce beasts when they see them, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble. And if you don't have some strength, you really don't dare to go too deep.
The thirty miles outside of this Chiyan Ridge are still a safe area, and most of the fierce beasts living in it are first-class fierce beasts, but after thirty miles outside this periphery, it can be regarded as a crisis, and the further you go, the more dangerous it is, and there are second-level fierce beasts inhabiting it.
Fortunately, Yun Fan's mission targets this time, the Cold Blood Fruit and Houtuzhi, have grown on the periphery, otherwise, the level of this mission would not be just a three-star white level, and in the face of the threat of a second-level fierce beast, the mission level would be at least a one-star gray level.
For most of the hour, Yun Fan was not idle, he had been observing the description and image of the two herbs on the task list in his hand, you must know that when you entered the Chiyan Ridge, you would not have the time to look for them one by one with the task list. Only by keeping in mind the image and habits of these two herbs can we search for them more efficiently.
Among the two herbs, Houtuzhi generally grows in an area with extremely lush vegetation, but the strange thing is that within the three zhang of Houtuzhi, there is nothing left, not only are there no trees, but even weeds do not grow, and it can almost be called a dead land. But in the midst of this dead land, there is a vibrant herb such as Houtuzhi, which can be described as a cathode and yang, which is extremely rare, so it is not easy to find it in this lush forest, even if it grows in a very special place.
At this time, Yun Fan had already come to the edge of Chiyan Ridge, and there were many small teams scattered at this edge, these teams were all mercenaries, a group of people who specialized in hunting fierce beasts to sell, and belonged to a group of people who licked blood from the edge of the knife. There are many fierce beasts and valuable herbs living in this Red Flame Ridge, and this place has naturally become a cash cow in their eyes, but people who died on this cash cow in the past also abound, but the huge profits always make them lose their minds. In addition to the two purposes of looking for herbs and exercising his actual combat experience, Yun Fan also had a purpose for these fierce beasts and the herbs growing in the Red Flame Ridge.
These fierce beasts and herbs are all good materials for alchemy, of course Yun Fan will not let go of this good opportunity in vain, and the things that cannot be used on the fierce beasts can also be sold and turned into money, which can be said to have a lot of benefits, which is suitable for the urgent shortage of money and cultivation resources at this time Yun Fan looked at the people around him, Yun Fan retracted his gaze and threw himself into a dense forest not far away, looking at the dense forest, Yun Fan's face couldn't help but be a little solemn, "This should be the Hundred Poison Forest, entering this Hundred Poison Forest can be regarded as truly entering the Red Flame Ridge." ”
"Little brother, are you also going to enter this Chiyan Ridge?" Just as Yun Fan was observing this Hundred Poison Forest, a burly man walked up to Yun Fan's side and asked with a smile.
Yun Fan turned his head sideways when he heard the sound, and saw a burly man looking at him with a smile, this big man was about thirty years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and bronze skin. Yun Fan's gaze finally fell on the hands of the burly man, each carrying a sledgehammer in the hands of the big man, the weight of the two sledgehammers together would never be less than three hundred catties, and with the burly figure of the big man, it looked like it was full of deterrence.
After staying on Dahan is hands for a while, Yun Fan nodded lightly.
Seeing Yun Fan nodding, the burly man smiled rudely: "That's really good, I think the little brother should be alone, in that case, why don't you join us? Our team just needs one person, what do you think?" After speaking, he pointed to a few people not far away.
Following Dahan's fingers, Yun Fan looked at a few people not far away, and after a little hesitation, Yun Fan nodded in agreement. Although he had experience in the wilderness, after all, it was the first time he had come to this Chiyan Ridge, and he was not familiar with it at all, so it would definitely be beneficial to be with these experienced mercenaries. As for if they see that they are young and want to pit themselves, then it is just a good time to verify how their combat effectiveness is, and they have experienced the improvement of talent and cultivation, and Yun Fan at this time can be said to be full of confidence.
Seeing Yun Fan nodding, the burly man smiled, with his eyes, he could naturally see that most of Yun Fan were disciples of the sect who came out to practice, and looking at Yun Fan's age and cultivation, most of them were disciples of Lingxiao Pavilion, and of course he was happy to have a disciple of Lingxiao Pavilion join.
