......

......

Demon Barren Mountain Range, in the outer twenty-mile area, in a rocky mountain forest, more than a dozen people came here, the first one was a middle-aged man with a big face of the national character, wearing a black robe, bare forearms, between a line and a movement, the breath around the body floated, vaguely fitting the heaven and the earth, and the surrounding heaven and earth vitality gradually converged in his direction.

This is a quenching martial artist who is about to undergo the first awakening of the bloodline!

In the Dongxuan Continent, the Quenching Body Realm is called the "Martial Artist", and the Burning Blood Realm above the Quenching Body Realm is called the "Yuan Master".

In the quenching realm, only a quenching nine-fold martial artist with a pure strength of 10,000 jin can be called a quenching body master, while a quenching nine-fold martial artist with a pure strength of less than 10,000 jin is called an ordinary quenching nine-fold.

The Burning Blood Realm is divided into three stages, the middle and late stages, among which there are three levels of Yuan Shi, the first level is broken through by the Quenching Great Martial Artist, and it is also the Yuan Master who is most likely to awaken the advanced bloodline secret technique and multiple bloodline secret arts. The second level is broken through by ordinary quenching nine-fold martial artists, and this realm will awaken the bloodline secret art, but it is generally low-level and rare. The third level is some of the Ninefold Martial Artists who have no hope of breaking through, and they are forced to swallow some forbidden pills, although they finally enter the Burning Blood Realm, but they can only stop at Burning Blood for the rest of their lives, and they cannot advance an inch. And it won't awaken the bloodline secret art. Except for being able to use Yuan Force, other aspects are not much different from those of the Quenching Great Martial Artist.

And this middle-aged man was obviously the highest-level Yuan Master once he broke through the Burning Blood Realm, and his combat power was often far superior to the second and third levels.

More than a dozen people stayed in place, the middle-aged man frowned, and there was a faint smell of blood around him, which made him unconsciously vigilant.

"There's been a battle around, everyone be careful!" said the middle-aged man.

"It's okay, Commander, this is only the outer area, the highest level of fierce beasts is only a mid-level fierce beast, I will kill as many as I want, don't worry!" a young man with sword eyebrows said indifferently.

"Zhang Chao, you kid forgot what we were doing here! I don't know what happened inside the Demon Desolate Mountain Range, a large number of high-level and low-level fierce beasts have run out, in this area, it is very likely that there are high-level fierce beasts, and the task we received is to hunt down a group of Qingfeng wolf wolves, they are very likely to be dormant in this mountain forest, you must know that in the explanation of the task, it is said that the wolf king of this wolf pack is a ninth-order fierce beast, and the head of the regiment is the same level of existence, maybe at this time he is hiding in a bush, and he swallows you all at once when you don't care!" The one who spoke was a woman in a black suit, with a convex and concave figure, and at this time she said a lot of things, intimidating the young man.

They are the brave mercenary group, formed for more than ten years, the original team is these people, the head of the group Li Long is the head of this mercenary group, quenching the body of the realm of cultivation, in addition to him, there are two deputy head of the quenching body, it is the young man and woman who speak, the tasks completed in the past ten years are large and small, and they have participated in the activities of the hunter guild to clean up the wandering bandits and fierce beasts many times, it is a mercenary group with a lot of fame in the Eight Cities Alliance, and it also takes some tasks to escort caravans on weekdays, and it is a more senior mercenary group。

The others all looked at them with a look that came again, and it was obvious that they were often arguing like this, and the young man looked at the woman in front of him with a look of desire to speak, but in the end he did not say it.

"Click, boom!"

A huge beast roar suddenly sounded, accompanied by the collapse of trees, the cracking of rocks, and a faint roar towards a wolf.

"Wolves, Qingfeng wolf! The voice came from there, everyone is hidden, let's go over and take a look!" The middle-aged man's face changed suddenly, and his right hand motioned for everyone to silence.

"What a crow's mouth!" muttered the young man.

"Everyone be careful, if the situation is not right, we will retreat immediately, don't stay for a long time, our lives are at stake. Li Long said with a solemn face, the worst thing in the Demon Desolate Mountain Range is to encounter hordes of fierce beasts!

And a group of fierce beasts like wolves is even more terrifying, hundreds of Qingfeng wolves, plus a wolf king, Mo said that even if some early Yuan masters arrive, they can't get any benefits, and they may even be injured!

When they came, their warrior mercenary group took over many tasks to hunt and kill fierce beasts, including a task to clear the Qingfeng wolf pack, and now there are only prayers that there are not too many wolves in the wolf pack, and the wolf king's cultivation is not as terrible as it was introduced.

Li Long prayed in his heart!

Otherwise, once encountered, it is very likely that the dozen or so of them will be wiped out.

More than a dozen people cautiously lurked in the canyon where Qin Ming was.

Suddenly!

"Buzz!"

Heaven and earth seemed to tremble, and the minds of the Brave Mercenary Group were confused for a while, and the time lasted for more than an hour before the people of the Brave Mercenary Group came back to their senses.

"Do you feel it!" asked Li Long, with a palpitation.

The young man and the woman in the black suit looked at each other and nodded.

"What ......was that just now," the young man was about to ask, but he immediately fell silent halfway through speaking, and the people of the warrior mercenary group hid in the mountains and forests, not daring to move, and everyone's eyes revealed horror.

I saw that in front of me, not far from this place, a whirlpool suddenly appeared, from the whirlpool exuded a terrifying power, this place was also shrouded, the whirlpool was in the center of a gray cloud, this cloud kept centering on itself to emit dense and small blue lightning around.

I don't know if Li Long was too frightened or for other reasons, he actually felt that the space around the cloud seemed to be shaking, and the blue lightning that extended to the surroundings had the power to distort space.

"What a terrible power!" Li Long muttered as he stared straight at the mysterious cloud.

Fortunately, this coercion only lasted for more than a second, and after this suffocating force was withdrawn from his body, Li Long gasped heavily, and then he found that his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, this was the first time he had encountered such a terrifying thing, and at that moment, he felt that the blood in his whole body seemed to stop flowing.

Looking back, the others were no better, and a few members with lower cultivation even collapsed on the ground at this time.

Immediately afterwards, there were countless wolf howling sounds from the direction of the canyon, like the mournful cry before dying, Li Long's heart tightened, he intuitively felt that there was an extremely dangerous force ahead, if he stepped into the canyon, it was likely to kill him, and at the moment, he didn't care about any prey. He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:

"We have to get out of here, the canyon ahead must have undergone a great change that we can't imagine, if we go deeper, it is very likely that we will all die here, this mission is no longer something we can interfere with, go back and report to the Hunter Guild truthfully, let them send the Yuan Master of the Burning Blood Realm to investigate." ”

But there was a hint of unconfidence in his tone, although the Burning Blood Realm was powerful, it didn't have the terrifying power that made the space tremble, maybe even a top-level Yuan Master couldn't investigate the reason.

"Commander, there's someone over there!"

After calming down, the young man suddenly pointed behind Li Long.

Li Long was startled, looked back, and was shocked.

I saw that about twenty figures gradually emerged from the canyon, the first person was wearing a gray and white robe, wearing a blue and white scabbard around his waist, the sword body was hidden in it, and he was slowly walking out of the canyon.

This person is a Yuan Master of the Burning Blood Realm!

There was actually a powerhouse of the Burning Blood Realm on the outskirts of the mountain range! Li Long looked at the figure in the distance and couldn't help but think in horror.

......

Day 2,......

Early in the morning, the fog filled the entire Demon Barren Mountain Range, and under a secluded peak, it was white, and people's vision was blurred.

Out of the fog came a group of people, led by a man on a horse covered in a black cloth, and judging by the body wrapped in a black robe, it was a teenager.

It was Qin Ming, and behind him was the powerhouse [Sunset] from other worlds, who had reached the late stage of the Burning Blood Realm with a single body of cultivation, and awakened three bloodline secret techniques, even in the Eight Cities Alliance, there were only a few people who could compare with it.

Everyone is the ancestor of their own family!

Sunset was also wearing a black robe at this time, riding a horse, and her body and facial features were hidden under the wide black robe, and the whole person looked very mysterious.

Eighteen warriors in white armor followed, a dozen of whom survived the wolves, including three knights on horseback. However, only now it was time to walk, and the remaining horse was bitten in the throat by a sturdy male wolf yesterday, bleeding profusely and dying.

Since yesterday evening after the destruction of the Qingfeng wolf pack, many things have happened, because there is suddenly such a big master around him, Qin Ming took this opportunity to walk around the periphery of the entire Demon Desolate Mountain Range, and for some reason, the number of fierce beasts on the periphery of the entire Demon Desolate Mountain Range suddenly increased sharply, and in one night, they hunted hundreds of low-level fierce beasts, as well as dozens of middle-level fierce beasts, and three high-level fierce beasts, but they did not encounter a fierce beast that reached the ninth order like the Qingfeng Wolf King, but this also made Qin Ming really happy for a long time, and in one night, Qin Ming's cultivation was upgraded to the eighth level of quenching, and he was only six thousand experience away from being able to upgrade again, and most of the fighters behind him have been upgraded.

In the process of hunting fierce beasts last night, Qin Ming did not kill all the fierce beasts he encountered, and some of the lower level fierce beasts were handed over to these warriors to solve, Qin Ming planned to go to the Hunters Guild today to register the identity of a mercenary group for them, and the name was thought of, it was called the White Robe Mercenary Group.

In fact, Qin Ming planned to stay in this Demon Desolate Mountain Range for a few more days, but the task prompt from the system made Qin Ming have to give up this idea.

"Ding, detect changes in the surrounding environment of the host Qin Ming, and reissue the main quest (1) [Become the first place in the Qin family's competition]: Two days later, the Qin family will hold an annual competition in advance, and ten outstanding disciples will be won in the competition, and the host's goal is to win the first place in this Qin family's competition;

"Ding, issue a long-term mission: [Be the master behind many forces]: The task of building a base will be officially changed to a new long-term mission on September 30, and the new mission introduction: In this different world, form your own forces in various forms such as mercenary groups, sects, chambers of commerce, etc. (50% of the decision-making power is the name of the force, note: more than half of the strongest people in a force belong to the characters summoned by the host, that is, the name of the force!) The power level is divided into nine grades according to this world, the first rank is the lowest, the ninth rank is the highest, and the formation of the first rank force will receive a reward of 100 crystal coins, the second rank force will receive a reward of 1,000 crystal coins, the third rank force will receive a reward of 10,000 crystal coins, the fourth rank force will receive a reward of 100,000 crystal coins, and so on, and finally each force will be upgraded to a higher grade force, and the host will also get the corresponding level of rewards! In addition, the formation of a hundred forces will be called the king of the hundred potentials, and the reward will be 10 million crystal coins, the formation of a thousand forces will be awarded the title of the king of the thousand potentials, and the reward of 100 million crystal coins, the formation of 10,000 forces will be awarded the title of the lord of all potentials, and the reward of 10 billion crystal coins will be an additional task, and the power level must exceed four products, including four products, to be included in the data, and the current level of power has been reached: 0!"

Qin Ming, who was in the Demon Desolate Mountain Range, didn't know what kind of changes had happened to the Qin family, and the clan that had remained unchanged for many years was held earlier than the conference, which surprised Qin Ming, this was something that had never happened in the memory of the original owner, but no matter what, Qin Ming always had to go over, after all, the task rewards released by the system were very tempting, and a single Burning Blood Realm guard was enough to make Qin Ming walk sideways in the Ten Thousand Miles region of the Eight Cities Alliance, although at this time there was a top Yuan Master of the Burning Blood Realm by his side to protect him, but no one would dislike the strong people under him, right？

Walking all the way, after walking for nearly an hour, the sun had risen high at this time, and Qin Ming and the others finally arrived at the nearest city in the Eight Cities Alliance, Black Rock City.

Black Rock City is a very young city compared to the other seven cities of the Eight Cities Alliance, but it has been built for just a hundred years, and the Li family who controls Black Rock City is also a young family, but it is not a native family, but it has migrated from outside the Ten Thousand Miles region of the Eight Cities Alliance!

There are two ancestors in the late stage of the Burning Blood Realm in the family, which makes Black Rock City, which has been established for a short time, rank among the top three in the ranking of the Eight Cities Alliance, and the Li family ranks third among the eight major families, and the city level ranking of the Eight Cities Alliance depends on the strength of the family under control, although the Haoyuan City where the Qin family is located has been built for nearly a thousand years, because the strength of the Qin family is not high, it can only be ranked sixth.

From a distance, Black Rock City looked like a black beast with a huge mouth open, constantly swallowing and swallowing people coming and going.

Qin Ming and his group were quite eye-catching on the street because of their strange clothes, but Qin Ming ignored them and walked straight towards the Hunter Guild where Black Rock City was located.

Like Haoyuan City, the Hunter Guild is also in the center of the city, but because it is early in the morning, many bounty hunters and mercenary groups have begun to take on tasks, so the hunter hall is noisy, and there are hundreds of people coming and going!

Most bounty hunters and mercenary groups pick up quests early in the morning and come back at dusk. These two periods are when the Hunter's Hall is at its most populous.

"Alas, since yesterday, there have suddenly been many more fierce beasts on the periphery of the Demon Desolate Mountain Range, many of which have high-level fierce beasts, I don't know what happened, it is said that the Hunter Guild has sent a strong person from the Burning Blood Realm to investigate this matter, and I don't know if I can bring back good news?"

"Hopefully, you see that there are a large number of missions to enter the Demon Desolate Mountain Range to hunt fierce beasts on the task list this morning, it seems that the Hunter Guild wants us bounty hunters and those mercenary groups to hunt down these fierce beasts, for fear that there will be a beast disaster due to the large number of fierce beasts, and a major disaster will occur!"

"In other words, the last beast disaster of our Eight Cities Alliance was a hundred years ago, and it was said that even the city was destroyed by fierce beasts at that time, and the Zhang family almost fell out of the status of the eight major families because of that beast disaster, and now it can be restored!"

"Anyway, I won't take any tasks during this time, so I'll stay at home honestly, the current Demon Desolate Mountain Range is too dangerous, I may not be able to come back if I go!"

......

Qin Ming dismounted in front of the Hunter Hall, and beckoned a small servant standing in front of the Hunter Hall to take care of him, and along the way, most of the remarks he heard were about the sudden increase in the number of fierce beasts in the Demon Desolate Mountain Range!

Qin Ming listened curiously, he was also wondering why there weren't so many fierce beasts on the periphery the day before yesterday, how could there be so many fierce beasts yesterday, and there were also high-level fierce beasts, which made the periphery of the Demon Desolate Mountain Range also dangerous, and ordinary bounty hunters didn't dare to enter it at all.

......

"Huh, the mission list has changed!" In the hall where hundreds of people were, there was suddenly a commotion in front of them, and then more than a hundred people surrounded them, Qin Ming also wanted to go up and take a look, but there were too many people around, and this angle couldn't be seen at all!

The task list of the Hunter Guild is issued by a special Yuan Shi, and the information displayed on the task list is composed of Yuan Li, once it is picked up by an individual or a mercenary group, it can be displayed in time, but because it has to last a whole day, it consumes a lot of Yuan Shi on the guard, and it is generally controlled by two or more Yuan Shi at the same time.

"Can you see what it's written on? Tell me about it. Qin Ming looked left and right, and didn't find a gap to insert in, which made Qin Ming, who liked to watch the excitement, a little anxious, so he asked the afterglow on the side.

"Yes! Sunset nodded, Qin Ming was deceived by Sunset's appearance as a warm uncle at first, this Sunset was a quiet person, and he didn't say a few words last night when he helped Qin Ming catch the beast. At this point, he glanced in the direction of the task list and said:

"Heaven-level task list, the first one is to investigate the reason for the sudden increase in the number of fierce beasts on the periphery of the Demon Desolate Mountain Range, task introduction: ...... Reward: 500,000 taels, there are already eight mercenary groups, and more than ten bounty hunters have received it. ”

"The second is to explore the abnormal changes that occurred in the center of the canyon in the twenty-mile area outside the Demon Desolate Mountain Range yesterday evening....... Reward: 300,000 taels. ”

"Huh?"

Qin Ming was suddenly stunned when he heard the second one, wasn't this the vision that appeared when he summoned Sunset yesterday? Could it be that someone saw it at that time!

Sunset didn't pay attention to what Qin Ming was thinking and continued reading. The Hunter Guild branch in each place will divide the task into four levels, Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang, the highest level of heaven, and it is also the most difficult and dangerous task, which generally does not appear, and the day-level task is usually synchronized with other branches, depending on the region included in the task, such as once the heaven-level task appears in the eight-city alliance, then the hunter guild in the eight cities can see it. The heaven-level missions set up by the main guild of the Hunter Guild in the center of the continent will be synchronized with the entire Dongxuan Continent.

There are only two heaven-level tasks, and Sunset automatically reads the next earth-level tasks.

"The first task, hunting the ninth-order fierce beast black-veined python, mission introduction: There is a ninth-order black-veined python that appears on the periphery of the Demon Desolate Mountain Range, please go and hunt it. The reward is 100,000 taels. ”

......

"So many!" Sunset read more than forty articles in total, Qin Ming asked him to stop, he didn't come to take the task this time, curiosity and curiosity are over, you still have to get down to business first.

Due to the large number of people, many bounty hunters had to line up, and so many bounty hunters gathered every day, so the area where the Hunter Guild was located became a prime location, and shops like taverns, inns, restaurants, weapon pill shops and other shops appeared here, driving a commercial chain.

Qin Ming's more than 20 people were already a little crowded as soon as they came in, and at this time, they lined up behind the people, and they scattered far away.

Qin Ming secretly regretted in his heart, he had already known that he would have chosen another time!

However, he had to rush back in the afternoon to sign up for the Qin family meeting today, and if he missed the registration time, Qin Ming would only wait for the next clan meeting to open, in that case, the task would not be completed, this was not what Qin Ming wanted!

"Get out of the way of Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu is from the Tiger Hunting Mercenary Regiment, and he is here to hand in the task. ”

An extremely arrogant shout rang out at the entrance to the hall, accompanied by a commotion. Qin Ming was keenly aware of the horror and disgust on the faces of many bounty hunters! Although he was reluctant, his body was constantly retreating, as if he wanted to make way for it.

Qin Ming glanced back and saw a burly man with a knife, his face was fierce, and his whole body exuded a brutal momentum.

Character: Deputy head of the Tiger Hunter Mercenary Regiment

Race: Terran

Cultivation: Quenching the nine-fold peak

An identification technique was triggered by the system, Qin Ming looked at the information transmitted back curiously, this system's identification technique was not effective, if only it could be activated at will. It's a pity that I didn't master this skill.

Seeing that the burly man with a knife walked over with the crowd out of the way, Qin Ming pulled a young man who was dodging backwards and asked.

"Well, brother, what's that guy's name?"

The young man was still struggling at first, with a fierce face, but after discovering that Qin Ming's strength was greater than him, he became honest, and when he heard Qin Ming's question, he immediately said in surprise:

"You don't even know him, how did you mess up!"

Qin Ming was a little inexplicable when he heard this sentence, so he asked rhetorically.

"Why should I know him?"

The young man's expression was stunned for a second. "You're from outside, right! I don't think your cultivation is weak, at least it's a seven-fold quenching body! This person's name is Han Tu, and he is a deputy head of this Tiger Hunting Mercenary Regiment, and his cultivation was a nine-fold quenching body a year ago, and he has a brutal personality, and he often makes big moves at the slightest disagreement, and there are dozens of bounty hunters who die under his hands! You must not provoke him. The young man said with a look of fear.

Following the path of the bounty hunters, Han Tu with a fierce face walked to the counter, put a black half-human-sized bag in his hand to the side of the table, and opened the mouth of the bag, revealing the corpse of a fierce beast that had been dead for a long time.

"It's his mother's ninth-order fierce beast demon shadow wolf, that is comparable to the existence of the quenching body, and this fierce beast is the most famous for its speed, even if the quenching body is captured, it is difficult to catch, unless it is the Burning Blood Realm Yuan Master, could it be that the head of the Tiger Hunting Mercenary Group has made a move?"

"No, you see that the Demon Shadow Wolf has one leg socket curled up together, obviously a congenital disability, which will cause them to lose their talent and be caught by Han Tu. ”

"Damn, why haven't I encountered this kind of good thing, this demon shadow wolf is congenitally disabled and can still become a ninth-order fierce beast, how can I do it!"

Han Tu smiled disdainfully when he heard the voices around him, and secretly laughed at this group of fools in his heart.

"Damn, why don't you meet a demon beast and slaughter them all. ”

A voice sounded suddenly, and Han Tu turned around suddenly, and a pair of eyes with murderous intent swept towards everyone.

"Who said that, stand up for me, and I'll spare you a whole corpse!" he said through gritted teeth, finally fixing his gaze in one direction in the middle of the hall.

"What?" Qin Ming was obviously stunned, because the direction that this Han disciple was looking at was the position he was standing in, he looked to the left, and what he said just now was said by the young man he pulled, but at this time, there was still his figure there.

I'm fucking blocking guns!

Qin Ming's heart was on fire!
