Chapter 285: The First Appearance
In the task hall, there is a surge of people, people come and go in the hall, some walk quickly to the task front desk, and some walk out of the door with the task list, which looks extremely harmonious in the crowded hall.
Lin Ye was also in the hall, and he was looking at the bulletin board in front of him, picking out the appropriate D-class mission.
Lin Ye spent a night concentrating on cultivating the Flame Knife in the Glowing Mushroom House, and barely practiced the Flame Knife to the point where it could be fired once in ten seconds, which had already met the minimum requirements for actual combat. When Lin Ye found that his cultivation could not go any further, he focused on merit points.
The Fire Spirit Fruit, born from the flames, is of the same origin as the flame herbs growing in the Blood Moon Lake, but the Fire Spirit Fruit has a special function that allows the user to increase their affinity for the flames. And the prop shop recently got a batch of fire spirit fruits, which can be exchanged for three merit points.
Counting the two merit points that Lin Ye can use for free in the prop shop, Lin Ye only needs to complete one more D-level mission, and two merit points plus one merit point of the D-level mission, Lin Ye can buy the Fire Spirit Fruit.
As long as he takes the Fire Spirit Fruit, Lin Ye can improve his control of flames in his human form, and maybe he can also improve his control of flames in his phoenix form.
"Master, if you have any questions, you can ask me! I've done some research on D-class missions!" Crescent Moon said with interest. He's a regular visitor to this mission hall, and he's taken on no less than thirty D-class missions, so he knows exactly what is good to do and what is not.
Lin Ye pointed to a task list on the bulletin board and said, "How about this." β
D-level mission: Defend the Red Grass Town against the beast tide, the task requires twenty people.
Description: In the pastures near Redgrass Town, food becomes extremely scarce during the cold season, and the predatory beasts that grow on the meadows go crazy with hunger and will attack the town in droves.
The deadline for the mission is required, and the entire winter season is required.
Reward: Each person is assigned one merit point. At the same time, the participants are free to distribute the resulting prey.
"This task is good, but for the master, the time to perform the task is too long, a cold season has a full three months, but the master will carry out the task with Deputy Captain Huang Gao in five days. Crescent shook her head and added.
"There are many tasks like this to resist the tide of beasts, and their characteristics are obvious, that is, the duration of the task is very long, but the task rewards few merit points. The benefit of this type of quest is that participants can sell their prey to merchants, a full velociraptor can be sold for one silver bar, and a whole Tyrannosaurus rex can be sold for ten gold bars, which is equivalent to two natural stones. β
"What about this?" Lin Ye pointed to another task list.
D-Class Mission: Kill a bloodthirsty and rampaging dragon 300 kilometers to the northeast. The dragon is brutal and elusive, and has killed hundreds of innocent people.
Quest Reward: One merit point.
It is used to describe a dragon's position in its kind, not the species of dragon. It usually has special abilities, and unless the dragon is a small chicken-claw dragon, the average temple family can't deal with it at all.
"Huh, why is this a D-class mission?" Crescent looked at the task list and touched her eyes. "It shouldn't be! No wonder no one took on this task. β
The difficulty of killing the dragon is generally above level C, and this task not only requires all the materials to be handed over to the dragon, but also only rewards one merit point, which is extremely cost-effective.
"Haha! You don't know about the dragon when you look at it. A stranger stepped forward and said, "This is not an ordinary task, but a prize matching task." β
There are usually natural stone veins in the places where the dragon haunts, and these natural stone veins are more than tens of thousands, and there are hundreds of few. However, if the person receiving the quest does not find a natural stone vein, then the quest is a blood loss. After all, it is difficult for a temple dependant to kill a dragon, and it is necessary to rely on various external tools purchased, bring sufficient gunpowder, and arrange traps to complete the task. These tools, flames, traps, and all kinds of powerful potions cost money.
"Well, I'm telling you, it's better not to take on this taskβhuh?"
Lin Ye nodded and said, "I took this task!"
"Are you crazy?" the man cried.
He obviously regarded Lin Ye as a member of the temple.
Lin Ye smiled and didn't speak. There was no need for him to argue too much with someone he didn't know.
Lin Ye was not a member of the temple, and his strength was much stronger than that of ordinary temple warriors. What he needed most now was time, and the dragon was not far from the temple, and it only took two days to get there. Come and go, just in time to complete the task five days before.
Lin Ye had just torn off the task list when there was a sudden commotion in the crowd. Through the doorway walked a strong man, laughing, carrying a strange creature covered in metal scales on his shoulder.
The dragonman had a short-handled axe hanging from his waist, and the blade was stained with blood. On his chest hung a coat of arms with half a bright star and a dark star. It is exactly the same as the coat of arms of Vice Captain Huang Gao.
The strange creature on his shoulders had tiger-like fangs, claws were unusually sharp, and the creature was bleeding from its mouth and nose, its scales were scattered in half, and its eyes were closed, and it had been dead for a long time.
The crowd of onlookers shouted one after another, "It's the forty-second ranked giant axe Chloe! What is he fighting on his shoulders?!"
A well-informed old family member could see at a glance what was on Chloe's shoulder: "This is an iron-scaled beast, its armor is dozens of times harder than steel! It is impossible for an ordinary temple warrior to pierce its scales." And Chloe did it!"
Everyone's eyes sharpened, and they saw that the dead ironscaly beast had a fatal wound on its back that had been slashed by an axe blade, and it was this wound that caused the ironscale beast's death.
The Ironscale is a ferocious beast that can continue to evolve. Depending on the degree of evolution, it can be divided into four categories. Iron-scaled, bronze-scaled, silver-scaled, golden-scaled. The original Ironscale Beast had no special abilities, but it was able to easily destroy a town with its indestructible scale armor. Even if it's a Temple warrior, you can do anything with it. But this is not the reason why the Ironscale Beast is dangerous, the reason for its danger is that it can quickly evolve into the Copperscale Beast, and once it evolves into the Copperscale Beast, only the captain can deal with it.
Chloe went on a rampage along the way, and everyone bowed their heads and avoided each other, looking like they were all used to Chloe's arrogance. But there was some resentment in the eyes of these people, but because of Chloe's status, they didn't dare to speak.
Lin Ye was right between Chloe and the bulletin board. Lin Ye frowned when he saw this, he thought about it and was about to get out of the way, but Chloe's interest was high, he stretched out his hand arrogantly, wanting to push Lin Ye away;
Chloe used a lot of strength, and if he pushed a temple dependent, then the latter would definitely be overthrown. Chloe's actions completely ignited Lin Ye's anger. Not only did Chloe not push Lin Ye away this time, but his arm seemed to hit an iron plate and bounced back.
He raised his head, and only then did he notice Lin Ye.
"You kid can't find death?" Chloe shouted when he saw that Lin Ye didn't have the slightest intention of backing down.
It's not just Chloe who thinks Lin Ye is looking for death, but even the people around him think that Lin Ye is finished.
"I'll go first!"
The person who originally introduced the dragon to Lin Ye also hurriedly avoided it and hurriedly broke off the relationship with Lin Ye.
"I'm afraid this person isn't a fool, right?" everyone discussed, looking at Lin Ye with gloating eyes.
It has been five years since the giant axe Chloe came to the Seventh Temple, and he has made a short-handled giant axe supernatural by him, and he has mastered a B-level combat skill. Out of three hundred temple warriors, he ranked forty-second. Not only did the temple dependents avoid him when they saw him, but even the temple warriors had to keep their heads down when they saw him.
Seeing that Lin Ye still had no intention of avoiding it, Chloe raised his right fist and smashed it into Lin Ye's chest. He poured almost half of his soul power into his fists.
Chloe's breathing method had been cultivated to perfection, and even if he only used half of his soul power, he could kill a temple dependent on the spot.
Lin Ye stretched out his palm and took Crow's fist, and the soul power on Crow's fist was released at this moment, knocking Lin Ye more than five meters away. Lin Ye raised his arm slightly, and felt an obvious tingling sensation coming from his arm. In this encounter, Lin Ye was obviously at a disadvantage.
"Your hand is not broken!?" Chloe said in surprise when he saw that Lin Ye had just touched his right hand.
Lin Ye touched his arm and said to Chloe, "Now, it's my turn!"
He clenched his fists and slammed Chloe's movements.
Chloe was caught off guard, he didn't expect Lin Ye to dare to fight back against him. He hurriedly stretched out his right hand and grabbed Lin Ye's fist. Chloe noticed that Lin Ye's strength was much smaller than his, and a trace of contempt appeared on his face, but soon Lin Ye asked him to put back his contemptuous expression.
Chloe suddenly noticed a scorching pain coming from the palm of his hand that was holding Lin Ye's fist, and this pain grew bigger and bigger as time went on!
Cloe's eyes widened, and he saw a scorching flame coming out of his palm.
Let go! Chloe instinctively wanted to let go.
Want to let go? Lin Ye raised his eyebrows and grabbed Chloe's arm, at this moment, Lin Ye once again increased the input of flames, and the flames immediately climbed up like maggots on tarsal bones, wrapped Chloe's right arm and began to burn.
Chloe burst out with a burst of force, finally pulling his right hand out, and the flames dissipated.
Chloe's right arm trembled slightly, and the skin on his right arm became charred and badly burned. He looked at Lin Ye with wide eyes and shouted:
"Flame, you're learning the Fire Breathing Method!"
The fire-changing breathing method is a very well-known breathing method. Those who learn the Fire Breathing Method can convert their soul power into flames, and it is also the best prerequisite for the Flame Knife Combat Technique. The Fire Breathing Method is a C-level exercise, which is easy to learn but difficult to master, and only talented warriors can master it. If a person can convert soul power into flames, then he has already cultivated the Fire Breathing Method to a small level.
"Who is this person, and how is it that he has never appeared on the leaderboards?"
The onlookers gasped, they only saw Chloe's strength, but they didn't find that there was actually a young temple warrior who dared to fight against Chloe and had strength beside them! These people exclaimed that they had looked away, especially the person who had introduced the dragon to Lin Ye, and even beat his chest, thinking that he had missed an opportunity to make friends with Lin Ye.
Chloe's right arm was burned, but it did not interfere with normal movement. The burning pain kept coming from his right arm, touching Chloe's furious nerves.
Chloe is used to being arrogant, where can he stand this situation?
His eyes turned red, and he threw the corpse of the iron-scaled beast off his shoulder, and stretched out his hand to grab Lin Ye:
"You kid is looking for death!"
"No brawls in the temple! Violators will be deducted ten merit points! Fifteen days of confinement!" At this moment, a man in a black robe walked over, and he released a momentum that was so powerful that it overwhelmed everyone present, and the scene was shaken down in an instant. Some of the temple dependents who couldn't bear the momentum passed out one after another, and even Chloe lost his mind for a short time, and his brain went blank.
But Lin Ye was not disturbed by this momentum. While everyone was stunned, the scene was controlled by the black-robed man. Seeing this, Lin Ye didn't stay here, he turned around and walked out of the gate, disappearing into the alleyway.
The black-robed man found that Lin Ye was not affected by the momentum he released at all, and there was a hint of surprise in his expression.
When Chloe calmed down, he suddenly found that Lin Ye had disappeared without a trace.
He gritted his teeth and roared in a low voice, "Boy, don't let me see you again!"
In the alleyway, the crescent moon said worriedly:
"Master, Chloe is a character who must be repaid, please be careful!"
Lin Ye shook his head and said to the crescent moon: "You are wrong, I have always been very careful. If Chloe hadn't messed with me, I wouldn't have had any conflict with him. β
"But some people are born to be cheap, if you don't mess with him, he will always mess with you. If you don't fight, what belongs to you will eventually be snatched away by him. Lin Ye smiled, and his tone became low.
Prudence is not a reason for cowardice.
Crescent Moon nodded, thoughtful.
In fact, Lin Ye still had a word in his heart that he hadn't spoken, he was silent and walked along the route of Yingguju.
The sentence is: "As long as you become strong enough, so strong that everything in the outside world cannot destroy you, do you still need to be careful?"
Lin Ye didn't say this sentence precisely because he wasn't strong enough. After this temptation with Chloe. Lin Ye found that he was still a long way from reaching the realm of Chloe. If calculated according to the ranking of the temple warriors, Lin Ye might be around seventy or eighty.
