Chapter 19: The Devil's Trail (Chapter 6)
After taking the task, Chen Fan didn't say anything to anyone, and came to the Imperial Beast Pavilion of the Martial Academy alone.
As a disciple of Mingyue Tower, Chen Fan can apply for a special mount when he goes out.
He listened to his senior brother's words, and did not inform anyone of his mission, and this time he applied for a demon beast in order to arrive at the designated place faster, so as not to be targeted by others.
And the Imperial Beast Pavilion is the place where the martial arts academy raises mounts.
Demon beasts are bloody and difficult to keep in captivity, but some beasts with demon beast bloodlines are much easier to train.
Chen Fan selected for a long time and selected a good horse, called the Lion Horse of the Night.
It doesn't look much different from a normal horse, except that it has a more vigorous mane.
But it's quite powerful in nature, and even has the ability to walk at night, even in the Imperial Beast Pavilion, it's also an extremely fast type.
You can return to Yandu City in less than two hours!
This is still Chen Fan is just a disciple of Mingyue Tower, if he becomes a disciple of Haori Tower, he can directly take some eagle vulture spirit beasts in the martial arts academy, and fly thousands of miles in an hour.
……
Chen Fan rode alone and left the martial arts academy alone.
After that, he quietly brought a human skin mask on the road, which was also a special item purchased in the martial arts academy.
He rode fast and did not take the main road to ensure that he would not be targeted.
It's just a pity that after he left the martial arts academy, he changed his disguise and changed his way, and no one knows where he went.
But there were always people who saw him leave the martial arts academy.
With or without intention, Wan Qing and others always stared at him.
Wan Tianbao immediately went to see Wan Qing: "Chen Fan took the task and finally left the Martial Academy!" ”
"It's a pity...... Even the people in the family around the martial arts courtyard don't dare to get close at will, and he is riding a demon horse, fast enough, I don't know where he is going now......"
Wan Qing squinted his eyes: "Have you gone to the mission hall, can you confirm what task he has received?" ”
Wan Tianbao hurriedly said:
"My ranking is similar to his, I have been staring at the refresh of the mission hall task for the past few days, after learning that he left the martial arts academy, I immediately went to check, and then locked more than a dozen tasks that he might take, two or three of them are near Yandu City, which is very likely!"
Wan Qing clenched his fists when he heard this:
"Very good, pass on the news immediately, so that the family can make a plan and start acting as soon as possible...... Remember, you must be careful, Chen Fan's accident can only happen in his mission, and no one can see the connection between this matter and our Wanjia! ”
Wan Tianbao immediately nodded and said, "Don't worry!" ”
With that, he immediately turned and left.
Wan Qing slowly sat on the chair and breathed a sigh of relief:
"It's only been two months, and I still don't have the confidence to rank higher than Chen Fan in the next assessment, but I finally waited for him to leave the Martial Academy...... Is this fate? ”
"Don't blame me, Chen Fan, blame you for being too talented and blocking my path of martial arts."
The two had no grudges, and they hadn't even met, but Wan Qing wanted Chen Fan to die.
……
On the other side, Chen Fan rode a lion horse that shone the night, galloping all the way.
It's blazing fast.
And horses are no better than carriages, and any rough road can be galloped at will.
All the way, Chen Fan set off in the morning, and before lunch, he had already arrived in Yandu City.
He led the horse into the city, and after a stick of incense, he returned to the hall, still dressed in disguise, and went to see his master Dong Guzhi.
It wasn't until I saw the master himself that the disguise was removed.
The master is naturally a person he can trust.
Dong Guzhi was also quite surprised.
Since Chen Fan participated in the assessment of the Martial Academy, he went straight to the Martial Academy, and in the next few months, this was the first time.
The master and apprentice exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Chen Fan mentioned the reason why he returned.
"Martial Yuan Yuandian, this ...... If you lack silver taels or some basic pill resources, the master can provide you with them at will, but the yuan points cannot be purchased with silver money, you can only earn them by yourself. ”
Chen Fan smiled:
"The strength of the disciple, master, don't you still believe it, after these five tasks are completed, it will be another two thousand yuan points, which is enough for me to cultivate."
Dong Guzhi didn't ink, and immediately mobilized the power of the Baiyun Dao Pavilion and began to help Chen Fan's task to complete and collect information.
Chen Fan's five tasks, all of which are to kill people or kill demons.
Dong Guzhi Baiyun Dao Hall opened to several counties around Yandu City, and its power radiated hugely.
Half a day has passed, and the intelligence has been collected clearly, and even a course of action has been formulated specifically for Chen Fan, when and where to complete which task, and the arrangement is clear.
Chen Fan was also emotional, having a reliable strength to belong to is really too much of an advantage.
Dong Guzhi is even more concerned:
"I see that your tasks are not simple, and there is one that seems to be dealing with a suspected demon beast of more than five layers, isn't it a little too dangerous, do you want the master to accompany you?"
Chen Fan shook his head when he heard this, and smiled: "Master, you look down on me too much, with my strength, let alone a five-fold demon beast, even if it is a six-fold one, I can deal with it!" ”
In the assessment of the Vientiane Void Realm, Chen Fan was holding an ordinary weapon, and he was able to hover with the sixfold demon beast for a long time two months ago.
And now that his cultivation has reached the fifth level, even if he doesn't have a treasure weapon to protect himself, he is confident that he can kill the sixfold demon beast one-on-one.
It's just a five-fold demon beast, he naturally doesn't care about it.
And even if there is an error in the information of the martial arts, it is at most within one weight, and it is impossible for a demon beast equivalent to the sevenfold realm to emerge.
"Besides, this is the assessment figure given to the disciples by the Martial Academy, you accompany me, what's going on?"
Dong Guzhi didn't insist anymore when he heard this.
The master led the door to practice personally, and he Dong Guzhi also knew that some roads always had to be stepped out by Chen Fan personally.
And Chen Fan accompanied the master to have lunch early, then rode the night lion horse again, and went out according to the formulated action track.
……
In less than half an hour, the sky was just a little dark.
After changing his appearance, Chen Fan came to the location of his first mission goal.
This is a remote village called Chengshan Villa, surrounded by mountains and rivers.
Some people around found traces of wild beasts being killed in the nearby mountains and forests, and the beasts that were killed ranged from black bears to tigers were all sorted, and according to the corresponding traces, it was also preliminarily determined that the predator was likely to be more than five demon beasts!
"Such a trivial matter, the surrounding government and yamen don't care, and they have to wait for the martial arts academy to issue a task, and a disciple will take care of it, it's not troublesome enough!"
Chen Fan was also speechless.
Although the Daqian Dynasty was huge, it had developed to this point, and the system was bloated, and it was impossible to ensure that the low-level officials fulfilled their responsibilities, and it was the ordinary people who suffered hardship.
The bottom is like this, the more you can see that the current state of Daqian is all supported by the strong wrist of the current emperor, but as his health becomes worse and worse, the county yamen are becoming more and more detached.
Chen Fan shook his head.
Now fortunately, this demon beast has not invaded the human territory, otherwise, this is just a mountain villa, I am afraid that it will be eaten by the unknown demon beast in a few days.
Under the radiation of the power of the Baiyun Dao Pavilion, there have long been experienced hunters and others to take Chen Fan, who is thirty or forty years old, but he is also a martial artist who has practiced kung fu.
However, the foundation is average, and he is just a pseudo-martial artist of the Triple Realm.
"Take me into the mountains."
Chen Fan didn't ink either, and after understanding the general situation, he followed the hunter directly into the mountain.
After all, monsters are no better than humans, although they have a higher IQ than ordinary beasts, but they are only beasts after all, and they don't know some counter-reconnaissance methods, and they will leave many traces whether they are acting or eating.
Chen Fan and the others were both martial artists, and their speed of movement without scruples was naturally fast.
Following the traces of the demon beast, he gradually chased after it before dusk.
……
"What a heavy smell of blood......"
Chen Fan frowned slightly.
"My lord, that demon beast should be around here, the sun is about to set, you must be careful, the night vision of ordinary demon beasts is far more than that of humans."
Chen Fan also noticed that the hunter's voice trembled slightly, and he knew that he was also very scared.
Chen Fan nodded, "You wait here first, I'll check the specific situation!" ”
Saying that, Chen Fan immediately leaned in the direction where the smell of blood came not far away.
The sound of rustling in the mountains and forests kept ringing.
Chen Fan walked like a fly, faster than the woods and mountain grasses, and held the black sword tightly with both hands.
Trample.
landed steadily, looking at the bloody scene in front of him, but couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
He had thought about the possible demon beast shapes, and he had also expected the bloody appearance of the other party's eating, but he never thought that what appeared in front of him was not a huge demon beast.
Instead, his whole body was red, and he gnawed wildly at the bloody beast skeleton in front of him.
