Chapter 257: Trial Mission
Just when the middle-aged man was teaching the glorious history of the city lord's guard to his subordinates, Ling Xiao and the others were chatting happily with the silver armored junior general at the city gate.
"I'm really sorry that guard is so difficult for you. The level of this guard was actually not like this before, and it was because the management of our city lord's guard was not strict enough recently, which caused such a hidden danger. Please forgive me. ”
As the saying goes, be polite and give three points, and don't reach out and don't hit the smiling person. Seeing the young general of the silver armor talking to him so politely, Ling Xiao was embarrassed to look at him coldly, eased his expression, and asked him: "The guard told us that if we want to enter Shanyang City, we need the Qiankun Seal as a certificate, although we know about this, we don't know how to enter Shanyang City if there is no Qiankun Seal." ”
"This confirmation of entering Shanyang City is that the Qiankun seal is good, but those who come for the first time have a chance to enter Shanyang City. They want to take the trial task of Qiankun Seal in Shanyang City, if this task is passed, they can freely enter and leave Shanyang City in the future, if they don't pass, they can only wander outside Shanyang City. ”
"Oh, did that brother know where the Qiankun Seal Trial task is?"
"Haha, this place is what everyone in this Shanyang City needs to know, come with me, I'll take you there. The silver armor junior smiled and beckoned to Ling Xiao and the others, leading them towards the place where they took over the Qiankun task.
Straight through the blue stone paved streets, around several quaint courtyard walls, there is a black hall. This is the place in Shanyang City where the Qiankun Seal Trial Mission is received. Ling Xiao looked up, the black building gave people a heavy feeling, and two huge stone lions were squatting at the door.
Several heavily armored guards guarded the gate firmly, and one of the cultivators was suddenly thrown out of the gate of the black hole. "Obviously I didn't reach the trial task of the Qiankun Seal, and I came to collect the Qiankun Seal with a dead face." The guards threw him out for me. ”
With a crisp voice like a yellow bird, a girl with thick eyebrows and big eyes also walked out of the door. As soon as the silver armor general saw the girl, his face turned slightly red. hurriedly greeted him. "Yingying, I just met a few new cultivators at the city gate, and they wanted to do the trial task of the Qiankun Seal, so I brought them here. ”
After that, a pair of big eyes looked straight at the girl, as if they wanted to get the girl's praise. The girl didn't look at him, but turned her eyes to Ling Xiao and the others, "You are the ones brought by this idiot to take over the task, come with me." Then he turned and walked into the door of the black hole. Ling Xiao and the others took a few steps forward and caught up with the girl's pace.
The silver armor general was a little disappointed when he saw the girl turn away, lowered his head and walked out. The girl's voice rang out from inside the door again: "Idiot, come in too, and I will also take credit for this matter." As soon as the silver armor general heard this, the depressed figure immediately disappeared, turned around and smiled and rushed into the door.
After Ling Xiao and the others followed the girl in, there was a burst of cheerfulness in front of them, no longer the black hole they saw at the door just now, but a sunny day, and several teenagers and girls of the same age as the girl were busy shuttling in the courtyard.
"This is the place where people usually come to do the task of Qiankun Seal, called Qiankun Hall, and everyone who comes to Qiankun Prefecture has to rely on Qiankun Seal to walk here. Only those who possess the Qiankun Seal can prove that they are qualified to walk on this land. For the sake of the nerds.
"I'm kind enough to give you some advice, this Qiankun Seal task is extremely difficult, if you are not sure, it is best not to take it. After taking it, you have to leave Shanyang City immediately, and you can't enter again until the mission is completed. Every year, many people die because of the mission. ”
Ling Xiao was naturally prepared to face all kinds of difficulties and dangers on this trip, but the girl's words couldn't scare him. Ling Xiao nodded firmly, "I have made up my mind, girl, you don't have to persuade me anymore, thank you for the kindness of the girl, Ling Xiao I understand." ”
"Since you are so persistent, I won't persuade you anymore, you go there, and it's the place where you will receive the task. I couldn't afford to accompany me, so I left first. The girl pointed to a house in front of her and said to them. Then he and the silver armor junior left.
Ling Xiao and the others watched them leave, so they walked towards the house firmly.
"You're here to take on the trial task, right?" Seeing the figure of Ling Xiao and the others, an old woman sitting in the room said in an old voice, as if because of physical exhaustion, she coughed violently without finishing a sentence. Ling Xiao just wanted to go to help the old woman, but she waved her hand to stop her, "I'm fine, it's all an old problem." Don't come here. ”
Ling Xiao, who heard the old woman's words, took a few steps back, and the old woman raised her head and looked at the four people, "You are here to do the task together?"
"Back to the seniors, the four of us are together. ”
"The four of you only need to take one task after another, and then complete it in four parts. This is a quest sign, let's see who comes. The old woman's sleeve waved, and a huge bronze tripod appeared in the room. There was a gurgling sound inside, and the heat distorted the air a little.
Seeing the steaming bronze tripod, the four of them swallowed their saliva in unison, knowing that this task was difficult, but they didn't expect the connection task to be so difficult. "It's not going to cook people. It's too difficult. Who would dare to go there? Ling Tianfang muttered quietly.
"I'll go, I'm a good person here, if I go, I'm still a little sure. Ling Xiao looked at the other three and said seriously. He walked towards the bronze tripod, but was pulled by his clothes. "No, I'll go, my exercises just happen to withstand the cold. "I'd better go, I can't keep you coming for anything." "I'll do it, I'm rough and thick, and it won't hurt." ”
All four of them rushed towards the bronze tripod, but they were restrained by the other three.
looked at the other three people, and their eyes were red. I'll go, I'll go, I'll go, the four of them argued at the door for a long time, but no result came to a result. The old woman who was pretending to sleep in the chair became impatient.
"Don't argue any more, let me go. The old woman waved her sleeves again, and the four of them felt that they were being suppressed by a heavy force, and the bones of their bodies rattled. There is a possibility of climbing down at any time. "You all go forward, and whoever walks in front of me will go and draw the task. Hearing the old woman's words, all four of them tried to walk towards the front. Hopefully I can draw this task myself.
After some hard work, Ling Xiao finally walked in front of the old woman first, panting and said, "Senior, can I draw the task now?" The old woman looked at Ling Xiao, who was full of embarrassment, and a trace of appreciation flashed in her eyes. Just as Ling Xiao walked in front of the bronze tripod and was about to put his hand in, the old woman stopped him. "I just remembered that I still have a Qiankun Seal task, but it is quite difficult, I don't know if you are interested, young man. ”
Ling Xiao looked at the old woman for a long time without speaking, and a teasing light flashed in the old woman's eyes, and she directly threw the sign into Ling Xiao's bad. "If you don't speak, the old body will assume that you are acquiescing. With a wave of his big hand, he directly sent Ling Xiao and the others to the door, and as soon as the door was closed, he no longer spoke.
Ling Xiao, who was sent outside the door by the old woman, was dumbfounded for a while, and after a while, Ling Xiao lowered his head and looked at the task in his hand. "Since the senior just said that this task is a bit difficult, I didn't want to take it, but now I have taken it. Let's take a look at what the mission is. ”
Ling Xiao was dumbfounded when he saw the task. This task turned out to be to hunt down the Ten Rank Fierce Beasts. "Now that we've taken on this task, there's no turning back. Let's take advantage of the time in the city to hurry up and buy some medicine. When you're ready, we're going to go on a mission. ”
After listening to Ling Xiao's words, the group scattered around Shanyang City to purchase the necessary medicine for injuries. After half a pillar of incense, the four of them gathered together again and set off towards the outside of Shanyang City.
"The city lord's guard stipulates that within three miles of Shanyang City, it is not allowed to move, if it does, no matter the reason, there will be no forgiveness. When Ling Xiao and the others appeared at the gate of Shanyang City, the middle-aged man was still telling his subordinates how powerful the guards of Shanyang City were. "Boss, I seem to have seen that kid just now. A little brother suddenly said loudly. "Don't interrupt me, listen patiently to what I have to say. The middle-aged man continued unsatisfied, and as soon as he said a word, he found something abnormal: "What did you just say?" "I said that kid came out of Shanyang City. "Why didn't you say it earlier?" "I said it just now, but the boss is telling a story, so you ignored me. The younger brother whispered, looking at the middle-aged man's angry face, and did not speak again. Instead, he lowered his head and belly and sneered.
"Boss, when are we going to attack that kid?" said the female voice who had been asking questions again.
"Stupid, didn't you hear what I just said. Now they are still within three meters of Shanyang City, we can't do it, otherwise we will definitely die at the hands of the city lord's guard." They had to wait more than three miles out of the city before they could attack him. ”
"Oh, I see. The woman looked at Ling Xiao and the others, waiting for them to walk out of Shanyang City, three miles away. After less than half a minute, the woman asked again, "Why haven't they gone out yet?" It's too slow. ”
"You just look at it, why are you talking so much. The middle-aged man knocked the woman on the head impatiently. He turned to look at Ling Xiao and the others.
Ling Xiao and his party finally stepped on the land three miles away from Shanyang City. As soon as the middle-aged man's hand moved, the masters of the bloody sect quickly got up, and a puff of smoke and dust drifted by, protecting the middle-aged man to the center in the shape of a plum blossom. As soon as the middle-aged man's fingers moved, the figures of the masters of the Bloody Demon Gate changed, and they appeared in front of Ling Xiao and the others.
"On that day, with a compassionate heart, I asked the disciples in the sect to practice with you, but you were ruthless and let him die in Huangquan. At that time, you were lucky enough to let you go, and I said I wouldn't let you go. Today I'm going to make you pay with blood. As soon as the middle-aged man's fingers moved, the masters of the Blood Demon Sect set up their positions and prepared to rush forward to fight.
"This cultivation realm is originally the law of the jungle, life and death. If it had not been for your men, they would have killed me. If it was me Ling Xiao who died in him that day, not only would you not be compassionate, but you would clap your hands and applaud, now that my life is great, I have not died at the hands of others, and it has been a few days, and you still do not give up on chasing him. You want to take my name. I'm not here for you to bully at will, if you want to stand, I'll fight you. ”
Ling Xiao and his entourage took out their weapons one after another, and rushed towards the masters of the Blood Demon Gate. In the distant forest, the howling wind set off a wave of green, and the battle began.
