Chapter 33: Meritorious Service with Broken Horns (I)

On the morning of the third day, after another full day of rushing and a night of exhaustion and recuperation, the three people and one deer with a tired face finally arrived at the destination of the trip - the junction of the Kugoose River and the Tianyue Mountains.

There are less than two weeks left before the end of the month, and the open classes of each college will start at the end of the month, which is the second open class after the start of the new semester of the Star Academy. For their own reasons, Merge and Su Bai enrolled a month later than normal freshmen, and they had already delayed the first public class in each college.

The two of them didn't want to miss the second open class of the academy, that is, the first class since their enrollment, so after the three of them experienced the turmoil of the Bull Elder Demon Jiao, they immediately rushed to the confluence of the Tianyue Mountain Range and the Kugoose River. Except for the rest of the night and the rescue of the broken horn, the rest of the time, the three of them and one deer were on the road.

On the morning of the third day after encountering the broken horn, the three of them and one deer finally came to the outskirts of the Tianyue Mountain Range along the Kugoose River.

In the process of hurrying, the three of them and one deer also really enjoyed the taste of running a dead horse in the mountains.

Originally, yesterday afternoon, the three of them saw the towering silhouette of the peaks of the Tianyue Mountain Range from a distance, and for this reason, the three of them were excited for a while. But seeing it was not the same as arriving, until the three of them continued to run for another afternoon, they still did not reach the Tianyue Mountain Range, and then, the excitement in the hearts of the three finally dissipated.

Therefore, there was this scene of the three of them arriving at the edge of the Tianyue Mountain Range this morning, full of fatigue.

............

Approaching the Tianyue Mountain Range, the three of them could clearly feel the magnificent scene of the peaks of the Tianyue Mountain Range.

The endless mountain peaks are cascading and reaching into the clouds. Beneath the mist-shrouded peaks is an endless dark green mountain forest. The winding or sword-walking ridge is surrounded by white clouds and mist, and at first glance, the Tianyue Mountains are like a primitive fairyland, mysterious and majestic and exudes a strong ancient atmosphere.

Towering mountains rise majestically, and countless peaks are stacked on top of each other. Seeing this shocking scene of the Tianyue Mountain Range, Moge finally understood why this vast mountain range with many peaks was called the Tianyue Mountain Range.

However, this majestic and magnificent scenery was destroyed by a clearing on the edge of the Tianyue Mountain Range in front of him.

Looking around at the open space full of deep pits and dirt bags, the three of them were shocked, and the opening of their mouths was extremely exaggerated.

The messy earth pits of different sizes and shapes present a dilapidated scene of excessive land reclamation to everyone.

"Let's get started, guys!" Su Bai took out the shovel prepared by Senior Leon in advance, stuck the shovel on the ground, looked at the open space in front of him, sighed long, and said leisurely.

On the side, Merge and Leon were still in the shock of the desolate wasteland in front of them.

The majesty, mystery and antiquity of the Tianyue Mountain Range and the open space of the earth pit where the bitter spirit stone is located in front of him form a great visual contrast.

Although it is only a distance and a near difference, it is like a day and a place.

Leon had come to this clearing two years earlier in search of the Bitter Spirit Stone, and although the scene in this clearing two years ago was also desolate and dilapidated, it was not so dilapidated. Now, after a year, there are hundreds or thousands of pits in this clearing, and at a glance, people can even feel a deep sense of desolation.

It seems that in the past year, the number of Star Academy students who have come to find the Bitter Spirit Stone and plague this land has been several times more than Leon's estimate.

"Didn't you say that no one had received the task of the Bitter Spirit Stone?" Merge stared blankly at the dense dirt pit in front of him, and his voice was full of unbelievable taste.

"Yes, it's rare to see anyone claiming this task. Leon was also shocked when he saw the desolate scene in front of him, "It seems that a bitter spirit stone can be exchanged for a star coin, such a cost-effective and safe task, for the students of the Star Academy, the temptation is still too great." However, for the sake of face, these people plan to secretly look for the bitter spirit stones in the background first, and then receive the task after finding a certain number of bitter spirit stones......"

"Can you also perform a mission first and then receive it?" asked Merger, raising an eyebrow.

"Of course, there are many tasks that are carried out by students who are on other tasks, happen to encounter them, and then complete them easily, and then go back to school to collect the tasks, and directly exchange them for the Star Coins marked on the mission. Leon smiled bitterly and shook his head, it seemed that the importance of Star Coins to the students of the Star Academy was much higher than expected.

"It's not an option to complain, we've got here, so let's look for it first. ”

After some shock and complaining, Merge and Leon also took out their shovels and began to look for places that had not been excavated recently, and tried to dig deeper.

On the side of the open space, Broken Horn looked strangely at the three people in front of him who were digging in the soil like digging laborers, and was a little curious about what the three people were rummaging in the soil, but after looking at it for a long time, they didn't see the three people looking for what they wanted.

However, an hour passed, and in addition to becoming more and more disgraced, the three of them were still busy and fruitless, and they did not find a single bitter spirit stone.

"I said Broken Horn, don't just look at it, you can come and help. Su Bai, who had been digging for a long time, didn't see the shadow of half a bitter spirit stone, so he straightened up very irritably, stuck a shovel on the dirt bag on the side, jumped out of the dirt pit, and said to the broken corner that was looking at the three of them boredly in the distance.

Hearing this, the broken corner lying in the distance snorted, and got up and walked over to the three of them with a puzzled look.

"What's the use of you calling it a broken horn? A grazing-eating spirit beast like a giant horned spirit deer can't burrow into the ground. Seeing that Su Bai had only dug for a while, he couldn't bear to call Broken Horn to help, and Merge said a little angrily.

"If you look for it like this, when will it be a head......" Su Bai waved his hand, complained weakly, sat on the dirt bag, and struck directly.

Su Bai picked up a small clod of dirt and threw it on Merge's back. Merge straightened up and glanced at Su Bai who threw him with a clod of dirt with puzzled eyes, "What are you doing?"

"Didn't you say you had to trust your nose? Can you smell the bitter spirit stone?" Su Bai picked up a clod of soil again and threw it at Merge, but this time, the clod of soil was intercepted halfway by the shovel in Merge's hand, and it was suddenly smashed into pieces.

"It's all earthy, how do you let me smell it, you really think I'm an animal?" Merge looked around at the dense dirt pits, frowning helplessly, "Besides, at least let me smell the bitter spirit stone first, just by describing it, how do I know what the specific taste of the bitter spirit stone is." ”

"Found it!"

Suddenly, Leon, who had been digging in the earth, straightened up, raised his arms high, and kept waving them at the two people in the distance. The two looked closely, and saw that Leon was clutching a peculiar, translucent pale brown stone the size of a walnut.
