Every city has a gathering place for adventurers, and for those martial artists who have not worshiped the Initiation School, it has become their only way out to come here on weekdays to find some tasks to earn cultivation resources.

Qin Hao's burly man is here at this time, he has no family now, he is wanted and hunted down by the Luoxia Sect, and he doesn't dare to worship other sects, for fear of being found out of his true identity, so he can only come here to see if he can find some tasks to do.

After all, he hadn't eaten a meal of meat for several days, and in addition, the auxiliary things needed for the cultivation process, such as pills, bath liquids, plasters, etc., were all large expenses.

Ji Jiu lay leisurely in the ring, watching Qin Hao look away from one task after another, his expression was a little playful, he could have taught Qin Hao to refine medicine, but he was afraid of trouble, and he was not a good person, he would teach everything. Qin Hao's cultivation of the "Recipe for Cultivation and Creation" actually did not need to worry about the progress, because it was several times faster than other exercises.

After a while, Qin Hao suddenly turned to a task, and his face showed joy, "The Gu family of Beichuan City now needs five martial artists of the thirteenth layer of Qi to help collect medicine, and they will set off in three days, at the wharf outside the city, and each person will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold and silver." ”

As soon as the task was issued, few people saw it, Qin Hao hurriedly took it over, this reward was extremely generous, and it was already able to impress the martial artists in the release period, but for some reason, he wanted five martial artists who were at the peak of his feelings.

It's pie in the sky.

Qin Hao didn't think much about it, and then took the task and went to inquire about the origin of the Gu family, only then did he know that the Gu family in this Linchuan City was an extremely famous pill family, and there were many alchemists in the family, and it was said that there were also strong people who had entered the spiritual realm.

......

......

In a blink of an eye, it was the day of departure, Qin Hao went to the dock outside the city to meet the other four people, three men and one woman, all middle-aged people around thirty years old.

The five of them waited for a meeting, and the person in charge of the Gu family led more than a dozen guards to walk slowly, a young man with a wooden face, wearing a wide gray robe.

The four people except Qin Hao seemed to recognize this man, and their expressions were a little stunned, and they said tentatively: "Gu Ershao?"

The man nodded at them, as if he said hello, and another guard stepped forward to explain to them: "This mission is to go to Turi Beach to collect scale grass, there is a demon beast in the beach that is sleeping, except for the martial artist in the Qi Sensing Period, other martial artists will wake it up." ”

When the middle-aged woman heard this, she asked with some uncertainty, "Tu Ritan, is that the place where corpses are accumulated?"

The guard nodded and said, "It's there, it's up to you to go or not." ”

The other three also struggled a bit, apparently not very much wanting to go there.

Qin Hao was puzzled and hurriedly asked the reason.

The middle-aged woman glanced at him, as if surprised, but still replied: "Water burials are popular in nearby villages, and the dead in the village are thrown there, and over time, a place of corpses has been formed, and it is said that there is an extremely unknown place, and many warriors have not died well after going there in the past few years, or died suddenly, or died of a serious illness." ”

Qin Hao was also a little hesitant when he heard this, and wanted to ask Ji Jiu's opinion, but Ji Jiu ignored him.

Gu Ershao and a group of guards watched them make a choice, and they didn't bother, the five of them discussed, and finally chose to go, after all, people die for money, birds die for food, and the remuneration is so high, it is really difficult to give up.

Inside the ring, Ji Jiu seemed to think of something when he heard the place where the corpses were accumulated, and he had a look of interest, the corpses of ordinary people are not so evil, and the unknown there should be caused by other reasons.

They got into a small boat and went all the way along the river, passing through a branch into a narrow channel, with trees and shrubs on both sides, green hills, and a rushing river.

After about half a day, everyone arrived at a wide shore, stopped the boat, Qin Hao jumped down in one step, looked around, and saw a desolate mess of stones, overgrown with weeds, several vultures hovering in the sky, and a cold smell in the air.

The surrounding mountains are high and densely wooded, forming a sunken basin, in addition, it also covers a large area of sunlight, which makes the place a little shady, and the white bones are exposed from the weeds from time to time, and some of the corpses that have not yet decomposed even have maggots wriggling, which is extremely disgusting.

"Is this Tu Ritan?" Qin Hao asked.

"Exactly. One of the guards answered, and the rest of the people looked a little vigilant, looking around carefully, there were wild beasts running around the rocks from time to time, and it was actually a few scavenging wild dogs, and in the distance there seemed to be a group of villagers carrying corpses towards here.

Gu Ershao, who looked wooden, covered his mouth and nose at this time, and said: "The scaly grass grows in a damp place, go and see if there is a cave, there may be one inside." ”

It was as if he hadn't spoken in a long time, and his voice was a little dry and hoarse, like sand rubbing against him.

Qin Hao glanced at him when he heard this, and on the way here, he also heard a few other people talking in a whisper, knowing that this Gu Ershao seemed to be the same as him before, he was also a "martial arts waste", he had no martial arts cultivation, he was not treated by his family, and he was relatively withdrawn.

......

......

Everyone began to look around for the cave, but this beach was very large, but it seemed that the people were not very strong when they were scattered, so they went all the way to the depths.

Qin Hao stayed away from the others, and drew his knife to split the weeds along the road, wanting to see if there would be a cave in it, after all, beasts and the like like to make holes.

In the ring, Ji Jiu also poked out a few wisps of divine soul, spreading out like silk threads, covering rocks, weeds, bones, beasts, and torn clothes...... Try to find something. Even everyone in the beach also felt a trace of coolness blowing on themselves at this time, and they broke out in a cold sweat inexplicably, and after a few breaths, Ji Jiu's eyes suddenly narrowed, and then he smiled.

"All the way east, there are a couple of low hills with some good stuff in them that will work for you. ”

Qin Hao suddenly heard Ji Jiu's voice, his face was suddenly happy, but he quickly returned to normal, and sighed in his heart that it was really good to have seniors.

He then rushed to the east, and the middle-aged woman seemed to be about to explore the east, slowly following behind Qin Hao, constantly stirring the grass with a wooden stick.

"Oops, how I feel like something is biting me. ”

The middle-aged woman was not very far away from Qin Hao, and suddenly shouted, her tone a little panicked.

When Qin Hao heard this, he saw that the middle-aged woman was scratching her earlobe, as if she had been bitten by some insect, and from time to time she picked it with her fingers, and her face looked very ugly.

He was a little confused.

At this time, that Gu Ershao walked over from a distance with a group of guards, and the other three martial artists followed behind, also seemingly scratching their earlobes, with a rather depressed expression.

"There are a lot of insects in Turi Beach, and it's normal to be bitten, just apply some potion when you go back. Gu Er Shaomu grimaced, and said expressionlessly: "I've seen other places, but now only the east is left." ”

Qin Hao and the middle-aged woman followed behind everyone.

The crowd then walked towards the east, picking up the rocks and weeds along the way, and easily disposing of a few panicked wild dogs, and the four people who had been bitten by the insects all looked cautious, drew their weapons, and waved them around.

Qin Hao didn't care about the performance of a few people, it was just a few bugs, but Ji Jiu smiled playfully and said to him: "You have to be careful of this bug, if it is bitten, I can't save you now." ”

It's not that he can't be saved, it's that he is reluctant to save.

Qin Hao's face changed instantly, as if he wanted to ask a question, but he couldn't help it, but fortunately, he walked behind everyone and no one noticed.

Slowly leaving the team, Qin Hao asked in a low voice: "Senior, do you mean that this insect is very powerful?"

"No, if you catch it, ordinary people can pinch it to death with a little strength. Ji Jiu said casually: "However, if you can't catch it, it will burrow into your brain and gnaw it clean." ”

"They've got worms in their heads. ”

This is a kind of insect bred by people in the Demon Dao, called brain nematode, for ordinary martial artists, extremely vicious, Ji Jiu encountered it a few years ago, and I don't want to meet it again today.

Hearing this, Qin Hao only felt a cold air rushing straight to his back, and in broad daylight, he also felt a little gloomy, he looked at the four martial artists who were bitten by insects, his eyes were full of sympathy.

"But why didn't Gu Ershao and the guards he brought with him ever been bitten by insects?" Qin Hao suddenly thought about it and was extremely frightened.

Could it be ...... He felt a chill in his hands and feet.

"Because these bugs are raised. ”

Ji Jiu's eyes narrowed and said.

The so-called pie in the sky is actually just a trap for five people to raise bugs.

Qin Hao figured this out at this moment, subconsciously held the long knife at his waist, and looked at the young man in front of him with a wooden expression with cold eyes, revealing killing intent.

"Young man, are you sure you can beat them?" Ji Jiu frowned and asked: "Those dozen or so guards are all ten-level qi, you can deal with eight or nine, but don't really think that you are invincible, if they have other means?"

Since cultivating the "Determination of Living, Creation, and Transformation", Qin Hao has many times not considered the consequences as long as he has killing intent, and acts like a reckless man, which makes Ji Jiu have a headache, and he knew that he would change the door and pass it on to him at the beginning.

"It's me who was reckless, senpai. Qin Hao also realized that something was wrong, took a few deep breaths, and gradually calmed down, but the eyes that looked at the Gu family were still not good.

Ji Jiu had a headache on his face and said, "Since you can't kill them, then find a way to get the other four people to make a move, although they are useless, they are also martial artists at the peak of their feelings." ”

Qin Hao hurriedly humbly accepted the teaching, and sighed that he was still a resourceful predecessor, and he was too stupid.

Ji Jiu was also a little skeptical at this time if this product was the real protagonist, but looking at the name, it didn't look like a fake.

......

......

Falling a long distance from the people in front of him, Qin Hao quickly caught up, picking at his earlobes while complaining: "That damn bug, don't let me pick it out." ”

When the middle-aged woman heard this, she stopped and glanced at Qin Hao, seemed to smile, and asked, "The eldest brother was also bitten by that bug?"

Her tone was a little ridiculous, everyone is like this, they don't suffer from unevenness, they are like this, and others are like this, so it is much better.
