Chapter 356: Favorite Gold Strike Activity (1)
As the sun sets, the last afterglow is left on this land.
In front of the four gates of the outer city of Jingshi, there were long queues, some entering and some leaving, all of them wanted to rush into or out of the city before the city gate closed.
At this time, a team of about a dozen people appeared at the gate of Xicheng.
These people, one by one, had gloomy eyes and cold faces, without the slightest expression. The clothes on their bodies are incomplete, some of their tops have been torn off, some of their trouser legs have been scratched off in half, and they can also see blood marks, which are scratched by the claws of demon beasts.
And in their hands they all carried a sword, a sword, a spear, a spike, and an axe...... In short, eleven or twelve people, the weapons in everyone's hands are different from others.
As soon as this group of people stopped at the team entering the city, there was immediately an aura of killing iron and blood.
Those who were in front of them were a little trembling and did not dare to look back, while those who came later than them stood far away and did not dare to come near.
Everyone who had paid the entrance tax and had been inspected ran out for a while before he came back to his senses out of breath and glanced at them from a distance.
For this group of people, the people and merchants of Jingshi may not know who they are, but they can all recognize what they do.
This is a very typical team of bounty hunters.
The so-called bounty hunters refer to those monks who earn spirit stones and silver taels by completing tasks on the bounty list. Every time, they will first find the bounty task they want to do next on the stone pillar behind the West City Gate, and then recruit companions, purchase equipment and medicines, complete the task as needed, and then come back to receive the bounty, and then look for the next bounty task by the way.
At the gate of the west city of the Great Departure Division, there is a stone pillar dozens of zhang high. The surroundings of this stone pillar were surrounded by ancient forbidden powers, and they were filled with the aura of formations.
There are several stone pillars like this in almost every dynasty. Some cities were built because of the existence of such stone pillars.
These stone pillars are all products of the era of great cultivation, according to research, there were originally a total of 129,600 on the Central Continent, which is secretly the "number of one yuan". However, after a whole period of the end of the law, most of the stone pillars have been destroyed, and there are less than 4,000 such stone pillars that can still be activated in the entire Central Continent.
And these stone pillars are exactly where the continent's wanted bounty list is.
How these stone pillars are connected to each other, and how the information on them are updated synchronously, the mystery of each has not yet been completely deciphered.
Since the princes revolted that year and broke through the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Great Zhou royal family fled one after another. Since then, these stone pillars have been used by people on the Continent of Middle-earth to issue various bounties and quests, and gradually, they have evolved into the current "Continent-wide Wanted Bounty List".
The mystery of this stone pillar lies in the fact that they can not only communicate with each other in a special way, which can be updated in real time, but also can distribute rewards on behalf of bounties after the completion of the task.
If you want to post a bounty task on the stone pillar, it's very simple, as long as you have the cultivation of the Condensation Realm. Because only liquefied spiritual power can be converted into written information on the stone pillar.
After leaving the bounty task, as long as you put the reward you set into the ancient formation in front of the stone pillar, the release of a bounty task will be considered complete.
Next, there is no need to worry at all, as long as a bounty hunter completes the task, go to any stone pillar to write-off, and you can get the rewards marked on the bounty list.
Fang Wai forces have always wanted to get their hands on the Central Continent, and a large part of Cheng Dùshang is to completely control these stone pillars left over from the Great Cultivation Era and crack their mysteries.
There is no doubt that this scarred and dusty team of bounty hunters is back to receive the reward after the mission is completed.
"Wang Lu, this time you have made another big deal, right?" The city gate official who was sitting at the city gate drinking tea, obviously recognized this group of bounty hunters, and when he saw them coming up, he greeted one of them with a grin.
"TOEFL, no one died. The man called "Wang Lu" smiled rarely, and asked casually, "During our absence, we didn't produce any 'treasures', did we?"
This is a slang phrase among bounty hunters, and "treasure" means a mission that is extremely rewarding, usually either extremely difficult and dangerous, or undesirable.
The city gate official took a puff of cigarette, smashed it and said, "I just saw Meng Wushao - ahh ”
"Fifth Marquis Meng?" the man named Wang Lu was stunned for a moment.
The city gate official explained with a smile: "That was half a month ago, and it's been three months since you left, so it's normal to not know." The fifth young master of the Meng family has now been named the 'Marquis of the Mountain' by His Majesty, and his young master friends have also earned a knighthood - tsk, the young man is knighted, my son doesn't say knighthood, as long as I come back with a show, I will wake up laughing in my dreams. ”
"It's the loser. Wang Lu nodded and smiled at him, "Thank you, brother! If you really pick up the 'treasure' in a while, I will invite you to drink!"
"That's a good feeling, let's go and see it. The city gate official smiled, "If the fifth marquis of Meng really releases any tasks, the oil and water will definitely be abundant, brother, I will wait for you to invite you to drink haha." ”
A group of eleven and two people soon paid the entrance tax, and after checking that it was correct, they entered the west city of the Beijing Division.
The man named Wang Lu walked directly towards the mysterious stone pillar with the team.
"Meng Wushao's task, I hope it won't be robbed. He muttered to himself, "With his generous hand, I can't figure out how much bounty for a mission can top several ......."
As he spoke, he had come to the stone pillar.
Wang Lu had been a bounty hunter for some years, and he was very familiar with the rules here, so he walked straight to the top of the formation, embedded a low-grade spirit stone in a groove of the formation, and then stretched out his hand and pressed it on the surface of the stone pillar.
Suddenly, the formation under his feet lit up, and the spirit stone he had just embedded was reduced by half in the blink of an eye.
These companions behind him all looked distressed for a while, but they also knew that this was the rule, and they only waited for the stone pillar to transmit the reward for this mission, and then pulled out the remaining spirit stones as soon as possible.
"This is?!" Wang Lu suddenly exclaimed.
As usual, he took advantage of the short period of time when the stone pillar verified the completion of the task, and hurried to scan the bounty tasks on it with his spiritual sense, hoping to be lucky and directly find the one released by Meng Siao, accept it, and later, there is no need to waste the remaining spirit stones and reopen the prohibition on this stone pillar.
Then, he saw that Meng Siao's name appeared in the third position on the continent's wanted bounty list-
Of course, it is the identity of the publisher, and the reward price he issued is actually "100,000 yuan" of low-grade spirit stones!!
