Chapter 5: The Escape Gate
"Young man, please stay. A crisp voice came from behind him.
Ye Lan paused, looked back, and a pretty face came into view.
It was a girl of about seventeen or eighteen years old, with long fiery red hair scattered behind her, and two strands of sideburns hanging down her chest. The aqua blue dress wraps her bumpy and delicate body, and the color vision contrast of the blue dress and red hair gives people a huge visual impact. With her delicate face and outstanding figure, she attracted the attention of everyone in the hall as soon as she appeared.
Seeing the much-anticipated girl floating like a butterfly, Ye Lan's eyes were still as waveless as a dry well.
Although this girl's appearance is considered to be top-notch here, at the beginning, any woman among the eight saints of the Ye clan could be pressed on her appearance, not to mention the fairy-like woman who had been by Ye Lan's side all the year round...
However, in the fairy land, in fact, many people have both appearance and talent.
The ancestors of geniuses are often top masters, and the spouses sought by such masters will certainly not be ordinary, and their descendants will often inherit their outstanding talents and appearances, which also leads to some powerful and long-lasting forces that come out of any person who is handsome and beautiful, especially the top geniuses, and this is the case with the original Ye clan.
"What's the matter?" Ye Lan didn't even look at the woman with straight eyes, her eyes drooped slightly, still immersed in amazement.
"Shaoxia, you don't seem to have a place to go home for the time being, why don't you join us at the Easy Gate?" Su Mengxuan said.
When she first entered the hall, she suddenly had a strange feeling in her heart, and when she looked at it, she saw Ye Lan talking with the sweet girl.
After hearing some of their conversations, she felt that the strangely dressed man seemed to have some story, and the sense of desolation that erupted from the man made her confirm her suspicions.
As the daughter of Su Bin, the manager of Xiaoyao Gate in Lize City, she has always regarded it as her responsibility to recruit talents for Xiaoyao Gate, and now that she sees such a mysterious person, she naturally wants to include him in the door.
Although Xiaoyaomen is a loose organization, there are also some people who are tired of the world, live in Xiaoyaomen for life, and reproduce in it, and such people will also become the high-level of Xiaoyaomen, protecting Xiaoyaomen to prosper in the local area. And Su Mengxuan's father, Su Bin, is this kind of person.
Ye Lan groaned slightly, now he didn't even know where he was or what era he was, joining a force could indeed help him understand these better. And his trip was originally to join Xiaoyaomen to learn martial arts. It's just that my mind was chaotic just now, and I just wanted to find a quiet place to calm down, but since someone had already invited me, it didn't hurt to join in.
"Since this is the case, it is better to be respectful than to obey the order. Ye Lan clenched her fists slightly, and although she said respectful words, her flat tone seemed to say that this was just a polite cliché.
Su Mengxuan glanced at the person in front of him strangely again, and then asked, "Since you have joined us, then we will be friends in the future, I don't know what your name is?"
After hearing this question, Ye Lan groaned again. He didn't know anything about the place he was in now, what if those mysterious enemies of his were nearby? If he walked around under the name of Ye Lan again, it would inevitably attract the attention of those people and bring disaster to himself, so it was not appropriate to reveal his real name before he was fledgling.
Thinking of this, he replied lightly, "Dilan." ”
"Di Lan, the name is quite strange," Su Mengxuan blinked, and then said, "Under Su Mengxuan..."
When Su Mengxuan was still about to explain something, a girl dressed as a maid ran over and whispered something in her ear.
Su Mengxuan's face changed, then he glanced at Ye Lan apologetically, and said, "I'm really sorry, there are some urgent matters that need to be dealt with, Shaoxia should first learn about our sect on his own, and then talk about it later." After saying that, he hurriedly left with a few warriors who seemed to be guards.
Looking at the departing shadow, Ye Lan didn't think about what Su Mengxuan was going to do, but thought about his current situation: he had nothing to do now, and he didn't have enough contribution points to exchange for the martial arts in the Xiaoyao Gate for the time being, so it was better to do some tasks to get contribution points.
Ye Lan thought about it, walked to a counter, and swept his gaze over the task on the notice board in front of the counter.
One-Star Mission: Collect 20 Flame Flowers. Reward: Fifty contribution points. Requirements: Black Iron.
One-star quest: Obtain 10 green snake gall bladders. Reward: 60 contribution points. Requirements: Black Iron.
Two-star mission: Kill the bandits of the Black Moon Mountain Range's Warrior Realm. Reward: 100 contribution points per person. Requirements: Black Iron.
Two-Star Mission: Dig up the Red Crystal. Rewards: Every two or twenty contributions. Requirement: Bronze.
After Ye Lan read the content of the notice board, she asked the staff behind the counter about the rules related to the bounty task:
Everyone who joins the Joy Gate can get an identity card, and people of different realms can get different levels of cards, and the level of the cards can also increase as the holder completes the bounty task or the realm increases.
Each person can only receive at most one task at the same level as their own brand and three tasks one level lower than their own brand at the same time, with Ye Lan's current realm, he can only receive a black iron card, that is to say, he can only receive a task that requires a black iron card.
The star rating refers to the difficulty of the task, and the task of the same level may be of different difficulty, so the star rating is different. Just like killing a thief in the Martial Realm realm, theoretically anyone in the Martial Realm can do it, but because the reality is more complicated, the difficulty is not small.
"Then choose this. After receiving the black iron card, Ye Lan did not hesitate too much and took on the task of killing the bandits, this task not only has the highest single reward, but can also be completed many times, and this difficulty is actually not much different from collecting flame flowers for Ye Lan, a former emperor-level genius.
"Boy, you're new here, the boss of that group of bandits has the cultivation of a martial artist, if you provoke him, you don't know how to die. At this moment, a sarcastic word came from Ye Lan's side, and he saw a stout young man looking at him with a sneer.
Ye Lan glanced at the man lightly, but did not make any statement, turned around and left, leaving only the young man staring at the spot.
...
In the silence of the forest, from time to time, some wild beasts would pass by, and the slightest sound of wind they carried would attract the alarming gaze of those who walked.
Sizzle......
Somewhere in the forest, a small snake about a foot long with a blood-red body suddenly pounced out of the blind spot and bit at the young man who was walking slowly.
The little snake's body had already opened its mouth while it was still in the air, two hideous fangs were exposed, and a fishy wind followed.
Ye Lan seemed to have expected it, and turned her head to stare at the red snake that was rapidly dilating in her pupils, but there was no panic on her face. As the red snake got closer, his left and right hands suddenly stretched out at the same time.
In his left hand, he held a stone, and as his left hand stretched out, the stone was ejected.
The speed of the stone was astonishingly fast under the impetus of Yuan Li, and it hit the red snake accurately in the blink of an eye. The stone with huge kinetic energy smashed the red snake out of balance, and the original momentum of the downward pounce was instantly broken.
However, Ye Lan's right hand only held a slender branch, even if it was stabbed out by Ye Lan, it didn't look lethal at all.
The branches seemed to slowly move forward, but when they reached their target, it was just after the red snake had been beaten off balance by the stones.
Poof...
The branches that originally looked slender and soft ran straight out of the red snake's body, bringing up fluffy blood flowers, and the red snake's body fell to the ground weakly, and it lost its life without even struggling.
Ye Lan pulled up the large leaf of an unknown plant from the side, wiped the blood stains on the branch repeatedly, and continued to move forward without even looking at the red snake again.
......
"It is said that this area is often infested with bandits. ”
In a relatively dim mountain forest, Ye Lan's eyes were closed, and her eyebrows were slightly tight, as if she was sensing something.
Although his cultivation is completely lost now, his soul strength is even better than when he was at his peak, even if he can't use too strong soul power because of the limitations of his body, it can still be used for detection.
The aura of all creatures within a radius of one mile was in his perception, and as his soul power increased and injected, this range continued to increase.
"Finally found it. Ye Lan's eyes suddenly opened, the corners of his mouth raised, and then ran in one direction.
......
On a mountain path, a strong man with a rough face was fighting a tiger.
He wielded a large knife, but the heavy broadsword became free in his hand, and the sword that he brought with him as he danced would occasionally leave a deep blood stain on the tiger on the opposite side.
As the battle continued, the tiger had more and more blood marks on its body, and its movements became more and more weak.
"Gravel Chop"
The battle went on a little longer, and the tiger's pace was already a little faltering. At this moment, the strong man's eyes lit up, a golden yuan force burst out, and the big knife in his hand slashed down angrily in an even more violent attitude.
Click...
A sound of bones breaking came from the tiger's body, and the big knife slammed into its back, and the force brought up actually pressed the tiger to the ground.
Looking at the dying tiger, the strong man didn't have time to be complacent, and suddenly turned to the side.
Shout... Cha...
There was a sudden sound of breaking wind, and then a branch flew fiercely towards the position where the strong man had just been, and then smashed into the dirt.
"Who is it?" the strong man roared, but he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when he caught a glimpse of Nayou's slightly trembling branches.
If it weren't for the extraordinary intuition he had developed on the verge of life and death all year round, that branch would have pierced his heart.
"Quite alert. ”
An unwavering voice came, as if the failed sneak attack had no effect on him, and then a man with long hair came out from behind a large tree not far away.
