Chapter 669: Into the Mountain

At ten o'clock in the evening, Dan Xuan was practicing cross-legged in the room, and at this time, he suddenly remembered a knock on the door.

Slowly opening his eyes, Dan Xuan called, "Who?"

Guo'er's voice sounded outside the door: "It's me, Guo'er!"

Dan Xuan sighed helplessly, this girl is really not ordinary difficult, slowly got off the bed, he replied loudly: "Come in!"

Guo'er pushed the door in, and when she saw Dan Xuan walking to the table, she also walked over and sat down.

Dan Xuan poured himself a glass of water, and didn't care about the girl, and asked in a low voice: "If you still want to talk about teaming, you don't have to say it!"

Guo'er Liu's eyebrows furrowed, and she glared at him fiercely while Dan Xuan was not paying attention, and when Dan Xuan raised her head, she put on a mischievous smile again, and said: "Don't be so ruthless, in fact, I want to tell you that when I enter the giant beast mountain range, I don't need your protection! I have a special physique, and I carry a strange fragrance on my body, and ordinary spirit beasts dare not approach me!"

Dan Xuan pouted and said, "Special physique? Carry a strange fragrance? You say this to the ghost, maybe the ghost can believe it!"

The girl glanced at Dan Xuan fiercely, pouted and said, "You are so annoying! I didn't lie to you, really, I don't believe you smell it yourself!"

As he spoke, Guo'er leaned towards Dan Xuan, and if it was really a strange fragrance, Dan Xuan frowned and looked at the girl in front of him, this strange fragrance was indeed very strange, seeing Guo'er's calm expression, Dan Xuan also seemed to be a little suspicious in his heart! Could it be that this strange fragrance really has the effect of driving away spirit beasts!

Her eyes swept over the girl's body, and Guo'er suddenly felt a little weak, feeling as if she was naked and exposed in front of the other party. In the end, Dan Xuan fixed his gaze on the cyan jade worn on Guo'er's chest, the jade is not big, but it exudes a faint fluorescent light all over the body, if Dan Xuan is not mistaken, this whimsical must be emanating from this cyan jade, and it is not that the girl said that she has a special physique, Dan Xuan believes that the reason why the girl said this is probably because she is afraid that she will rob her treasure, after all, a spirit stone that can drive away spirit beasts is definitely a rare treasure in the world!

Dan Xuan knew in his heart that there were many things in the world that were difficult to fathom, just like the red jade he wore on his chest, remembering that this piece of jade was still in the Great Xia Kingdom of the Nanchuan Continent, when the mother of the Xia Kingdom gave him something, saying that wearing this jade could help her resist the poison of Tianzelan! And Dan Xuan faintly felt that this piece of red jade was definitely not as simple as just suppressing the toxin of Tianzelan, it must have other undiscovered uses! Since you have such a strange stone, it doesn't necessarily mean that it is impossible for someone to have a strange stone that can drive away spirit beasts!

Guo'er saw Dan Xuan staring at his chest in a daze, and while his heart was weak, his face couldn't help but flush, and he hurriedly covered the stone on his chest with both hands, and said, "What are you looking at!"

Dan Xuan woke up, coughed lightly, hesitated for a while, but asked out loud: "I'm very strange, seeing that you are only sixteen or seventeen years old, and now you are already a one-star spirit general, your talent is naturally extremely rare, but obviously, you must not have been born in an ordinary family, and you must have eaten a lot of pills and spirit herbs! However, why do you have to go into the mountains with an irrelevant person like me, don't you know the danger?"

When Guo'er heard this, the big expression on her pretty face suddenly froze, as if she remembered something sad, her face flushed with gloom, and she whispered: "I, I just want to save someone with my own efforts! I want to make money, I know that you are a good person, we will cooperate to accept the employment task, and we will divide the money we earn equally, besides, I am much more familiar with a place like Beast City than you as a newcomer, don't you need a guide?"

When Dan Xuan heard this, his mind was slightly enlivened, he really needed a guide, if this girl didn't appear, he originally planned to spend a lot of money to hire a guide.

Seeing the pleading expression on the face of the girl in front of him, Dan Xuan's heart softened, and he said helplessly: "Although I still don't approve of you going into the mountain with me, if you insist on going, I can't stop you! But you must remember that you can't make an assertion without my order at any time!"

When the girl heard this, her face turned happy, Dan Xuan's statement was equivalent to acquiescing that she could join him, and said in ecstasy: "Great! Great! We can enter the mountain tomorrow!"

Dan Xuan looked at the girl's dancing appearance, but he didn't know why the girl was so excited.

"It's not early, let's go back and rest early, tomorrow morning we will go to the Beast King Hall to receive the mission!" Dan Xuan got up and said.

......

In the early morning of the next day, in front of the gate of the Beast King's Palace, there were already many hired people waiting outside the door.

Dan Xuan and Guo'er stood in the distance, looking at the many hired people in front of the temple gate. Guo'er pointed to the people at the front of the palace gate and said, "Brother Xuan, you see, they are the members of the Wolf Sealing Mercenary Group, the second largest mercenary group in the Beast City after the Demon Dragon Mercenary Group, and the bald thin man standing in front is the deputy head of the Wolf Sealing Mercenary Group, Liu Wanshan, nicknamed Iron Head!"

Dan Xuan followed Guo'er's gaze, and really saw a team of mercenary groups, but he frowned and said, "Are just a few people the second-ranked mercenary group in Beast City?"

Guo'er pouted and smiled, "How is it possible? They are just responsible for receiving the task, it is said that the wolf sealing mercenary group has a mercenary group of nearly a thousand people, and their leader is a real seven-star spirit king, and his strength is very strong!"

"Seven-Star Spirit King......" Dan Xuan was indeed a little surprised, this kind of strength should be able to be a general in the Imperial Pole City!

At this time, another team of mercenaries came, but Guo'er unnaturally hid behind Dan Xuan, Dan Xuan looked over in surprise, and then suddenly it turned out that the team of people who had just come was the burly man who clashed with him yesterday, and he was a member of the Steel Tooth mercenary group.

"They're also here to receive the mission?" Dan Xuan asked aloud.

Guo'er nodded and said: "It should be, I heard that the No. 1 Demon Dragon mercenary group in the Beast City yesterday has already taken away the task list of the spirit beast Huoyu, and I am afraid that the two mercenary groups will not be able to sit still today, but the task of the spirit beast Huoyu is too difficult, and the two of us can only watch it with greed!"

"Can't we directly receive the task list of the spirit beast Huoyu?" Dan Xuan asked with some surprise.

Guo'er looked at Dan Xuan with a hopeless expression, and said, "Let this girl say what is good about you! How can you receive such a task as Spirit Beast Huoyu casually! Whether it is an individual employer or a group of employers, before you want to receive the task list of the Beast King Palace, you must first evaluate the employment level of the Beast King Palace, and only those who have a similar level can receive the task of the Beast King Palace! You and I have just formed a team, and we haven't even rated the level yet, how can we get the task!"

Dan Xuan looked stunned, and said with a wry smile: "It's so troublesome, I knew that I would go to the assessment yesterday!"

Guo'er seemed to be speechless for Dan Xuan, so she had to continue to explain: "How can it be so simple! The Beast King Palace's rating of more than two mercenary groups is based on the strength of the strongest person in the employing group, I see that although your strength is quite strong, your cultivation level is not necessarily high, or I will be rated later!"

"Are you on?" Dan Xuan looked at the fruit who was eager to try, but his face couldn't hold back his joy.

Guo'er was looking forward to showing her amazing talent in public, but when she saw Dan Xuan there, she couldn't help but smile, her face was angry, and she said angrily: "What are you laughing at, underestimate my strength!

As she spoke, Guo'er clenched her fists and made a threatening gesture at Dan Xuan.

Dan Xuan couldn't hold back a smile and said, "Are you going to go up?"

Guo'er's originally excited expression was all extinguished by Dan Xuan's wanton ridicule, and she said slightly angrily: "You, you, how can this person be so annoying!"

Guo'er just wanted to raise his little fist to intimidate Dan Xuan, but at this time there was a noise in front of the palace door, and the two looked up, and when the hour came, it was the Beast King Hall that opened on time!

"Let's go!" Dan Xuan's face regained his solemnity and he said loudly.

All the hires entered the main hall, Dan Xuan and Guo'er also walked in, looking around, the main hall is very spacious, high in front of the hall, there is a long table, several old men sit in front of the table.

An old man in the center softened his throat, knocked the table with a small hammer, and said, "Quiet, quiet!"

Everyone was silent, and the old man's gaze swept over His Highness's people, and he said slowly: "According to the daily routine, if there are employees or teams that need to be rated and certified first, we will rate them first!"

Dan Xuan was overjoyed when he heard this, this Beast King Hall is very humane, and he is afraid that some employers or groups will delay receiving the task because of the rating and certification!

"Shall I go up?" Guo'er looked at Dan Xuan with a look of hope, but when she saw Dan Xuan, she shook her head and said, "If you go up for the rating, we really won't have a chance to receive the task of the spirit beast Huoyu!"

There were a total of nine people who needed to be rated, and Dan Xuan followed the grading team, first completing the registration of names and related information, and then followed everyone to a device above the main hall.

Dan Xuan took a general look at the device, the grading device was composed of a load-bearing disc and a simple pressure receptor, but a simple refining device, it was not a complicated inscription formation that could be done, and even Dan Xuan himself could make it!

His eyes swept over the eight people in front of him, but Dan Xuan felt a little embarrassed, only to see that among the few people in the front, except for the old man with gray hair, he was a big man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, only Dan Xuan, who had a young face, and a thin and weak body, where did he look like a mercenary who fought with spirit beasts all year round!

"Eh, look at the kid at the back, it's too funny, he came here to be a mercenary before he was weaned, I really think that anyone in our business can do it!"

"Is that kid here to be graded and certified? It's hilarious, I think he's probably going to get the lowest hire grade ever!"

......

Many others also noticed Dan Xuan, and laughter spread throughout the hall. The white-haired old man in the center of the hall knocked on the table again with a small hammer and said coldly: "Silence, old man keep your mouth shut!"

The old man's face was majestic, and everyone quieted down, and then the old man looked at the rating information handed over by another person, and glanced up at the first person in front of the rating team, who was a burly man about forty years old.

"Are you the rator of the Shenhuo mercenary group?" the old man asked out loud, seeing the burly man nodding, the white-haired old man bowed slightly, and said indifferently: "Let's start!"

The lower part of the hall was also much quieter, Dan Xuan also looked up, only to see the big man of the rating slowly walked to the front of the rating device, first took two deep breaths in a row, and then began to brew Xuan Qi, until the momentum reached its peak, he slammed his fist and bombarded the load-bearing plate of the rating device, everyone only heard a boom, and on the spar of the inspection device, a red light kept climbing, until it climbed to the third grid, and then stopped!

In front of the table, the white-bearded old man looked at the number of grids on the inspection spar, and said indifferently: "Level 3 mercenary group!

The third-level mercenary group, Dan Xuan roughly counted it, there are seven grids on the entire inspection crystal, that is to say, there are seven levels of classification, I don't know which category the so-called three mercenary groups in the beast city belong to.

Dan Xuan thought like this, and the rating continued in turn, but most of these hires were some second- or third-level mercenary groups, and only one of them had reached the fourth-level standard!

In the blink of an eye, Danxuan began to rate. The bottom of the hall began to be noisy again, and the laughter sounded again in His Highness. However, Dan Xuan didn't seem to hear it at all, his eyes looked down, and Guo'er clenched his fists towards himself and made a cheering gesture!

On the main hall, most people looked at Dan Xuan with a lively attitude, and they all wanted to see if this teenager would be rated as a "levelless" mercenary group, it is said that if the rater does not reach the one-star Lingwei, it will be rated as classless, and the classless mercenary group is actually a rating failure!

In front of the table, the old man looked Dan Xuan up and down in some surprise, and confirmed, "You, are you indeed here for the rating?"

Dan Xuan nodded and said "yes" calmly, but the old man was a little surprised by Dan Xuan's age, and asked again: "Are you the rater of the Xuantian mercenary group?"

Dan Xuan nodded again. The old man bowed his head slightly, and said slowly: "Let's start!"

Dan Xuan slowly walked towards the rating device, running the Xuan Qi around his body, as the Xuan Qi walked all over his body, the momentum on Dan Xuan's body was also rising, and in the next second, Dan Xuan suddenly punched!

"Boom!"

In the main hall, after everyone only heard a deafening loud noise, the red light on the rating spar rose all the way under everyone's dull gaze, and rushed directly to the sixth grid!

Level six! It turned out to be level six! Everyone was in an uproar! The hires who had mocked Dan Xuan before were even more stunned, they had never dreamed that this seemingly weak young man would be rated like this.

In front of the table, the old man, who was originally careless, raised his head in shock, and looked at the grade displayed on the grading device in disbelief, the surprise on his face was obvious!

After a brief moment of shock, the bottom of the main hall began to be noisy again.

"No, it's level six!

"Good boy, level six! Could it be that in addition to the three major mercenary groups in the beast city, there is another sixth-level mercenary group?"

"Is this kid cheating? How old is he, can he have this kind of strength? You must know that without the strength of the Spirit King, it is impossible to assess the sixth-level employment level!"

......

On the main hall, the old man took a deep look at the young man in front of the inspection device, took out a sixth-level mercenary rating badge from under the table, threw it to Dan Xuan, and said, "Sixth-level badge, take it!"

Dan Xuan took the badge and looked up at the shocked eyes of everyone below, but he sneered in his heart, he hadn't used all his strength, these people were surprised to be like this? Dan Xuan had a feeling, if he used all his strength, I am afraid that he might be able to get to the seventh level!

Walking down the main hall, Guo'er ran over excitedly, dancing happily, and said: "It's amazing! Brother Xuan, you are really amazing! Level six! From now on, we will be the same level mercenary group as the three major mercenary groups! I think any of them dare to bully me!"

Dan Xuan shook his head with a light smile, and said in his heart, what is the use of a high level, there are only two people in his mercenary group, and compared with one or two thousand people from other people, it is not at all in an order of magnitude.

In front of the main hall, everyone from the Gangya mercenary group looked at Dan Xuan and Guo'er, all of them in shock.

"Brother Feng, isn't that kid the little white face and that dead girl from yesterday? I didn't expect this little white face to be so powerful that he could be rated as a sixth-level employment certification!" Lin Feng's side, the sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked mercenary pointed at Dan Xuan and Guo'er and said.

Lin Feng stared at Dan Xuan with squinted eyes for a long time, and said: "This kid is not simple, let's let them go for the time being, but at first glance, he is a water duck who has never entered the mountain, and when he enters the Giant Beast Mountain Range, it will not be so easy, and when the time comes, the two of them will not let our brothers play casually!"

Lin Feng had a cold smile on his face, and the younger brothers also had a cold face, they believed that even if Dan Xuan's strength was strong, they still had the boss and brothers, so many people, they couldn't believe that they couldn't clean up this hairy boy!

"Okay!" Above the main hall, the old man stopped the noise below, pointed to a huge list hanging on the main hall, and said: "You can choose the tasks on the list of beastmasters, you need to sign the name of your mercenary group or individual behind the mercenary task you are about to choose, we will compare the task level you choose with your own level, if you find that there is not a level requirement, we will directly invalidate your task, even if you complete the task, we will not recognize!" I don't need to say more about the rest of the rules, so let's start choosing now!"

The mercenary groups began to choose tasks, and when Dan Xuan and Guo'er chosen, the mercenaries in the entire hall had basically been selected, Dan Xuan walked to the huge list hanging in the main hall, and his eyes moved up in turn, until he stopped looking at the position of the eleventh task, after the eleventh task, there were roughly more than a dozen mercenary group names, Dan Xuan roughly swept it, and the names of the three major mercenary groups in the beast city were all listed!

Picking up the pen, Dan Xuan did not hesitate, picked up the pen and wrote down the name of the "Xuantian Mercenary Group", and there was immediately a beautiful woman next to him who was making notes, and then someone sent the task list to Dan Xuan.

The so-called task list is nothing more than a card with the name of the mission and the name of the mercenary group, as well as the time of accepting the mission!

"Brother Feng, you see, what they accepted was the task of the spirit beast Huoyu, and their courage is really not small!" Lin Feng's side, another subordinate pointed at Dan Xuan and said.

The corners of Lin Feng's lips curled slightly, and he said coldly: "I can't do anything! When they enter the mountain, they should know that their whims! Let's go, let's go back and take orders from the boss!"

Lin Feng left with his younger brothers, and Dan Xuan turned his head to look, but the corners of his lips hooked up a dangerous arc.

Walking out of the Beast King Palace, Guo'er seemed to be a little excited, constantly chattering beside Dan Xuan about how to complete the task, to put it bluntly, it was all longing!

"Okay, okay, I'll prepare things today, and we'll be in the mountains tomorrow!" Dan Xuan said with a squinting gaze as he looked at the towering mountain range in the distance.

Guo'er cheered, still excited.

In the afternoon, Dan Xuan and Guo'er purchased some dry food, and then Dan Xuan took Guo'er to buy some local beef noodles in the medicine store.

Guo'er looked at the earth cow powder in Dan Xuan's hand, and asked suspiciously, "What is this thing used for?"

Dan Xuan smiled mysteriously and said, "This, keep it secret for the time being!"

......

The next morning, Dan Xuan and Guo'er began to march towards the Giant Beast Mountain Range. In the evening of the same day, the two of them finally arrived at the foot of the Behemoth Mountain Range, preparing to rest for the night and enter the mountain range again tomorrow.

In the col near the periphery of the Giant Beast Mountain Range, Dan Xuan and Guo'er raised a fire, sat opposite each other, Dan Xuan lifted the lid of the iron pot hanging above the flame, observed the color of the soup, and then sniffed the smell wafting out, and said with a smile: "It's done, come, I'll serve you a bowl!"

Dan Xuan picked up Tie Wan beside him, filled a bowl of thick soup for Guo'er with a spoon and handed it to Guo'er, and said, "Oh, try it!"

Guo'er was already eager to try, so she hurriedly took it, blew it gently, and then took a sip, but she put on a look of extreme enjoyment, and praised: "I didn't expect that such an inconspicuous Dun'er flower here can be boiled so deliciously, Brother Xuan, you are really amazing!"

Dan Xuan smiled slightly, also filled himself with a bowl of soup, sat on the side, and said: "Actually, it's nothing! In the Nanchuan Continent, there is also this kind of thing, but it is only in a small country that is extremely southern, I heard that hundreds of years ago, this kind of Dun'er grass was also used as a tribute to the Guyin royal family, most of them are preferred by some concubines, because it has a beauty effect!"

"Really?" Guo'er raised her eyebrows, seeing Dan Xuan nodding in confirmation, she couldn't help but take another big sip, looked up at Dan Xuan, but saw that the other party seemed to have something on her mind, just looked at the soup in the bowl and was a little stunned.

Guo'er wiped the juice from the corners of her lips with a silk silk and asked aloud: "Brother Xuan, have you ever been to the Nanchuan Continent?" I heard my father say that the Nanchuan Continent is a very rich place, the land there can be used for farming, and the people will not starve to death, is it true?"

Dan Xuan reluctantly squeezed out a smile when he heard this, and said slowly: "Nanchuan is also bad for Nanchuan, and the people there are too greedy for power!

The girl looked at Dan Xuan's somewhat gloomy eyes, although she didn't understand why when she mentioned the Nanchuan Continent, he who was in a good mood suddenly became unnatural as if he had lost something, Guo'er thought to herself, maybe there was something in the land of Nanchuan that he didn't want to mention.

"Eat quickly, eat well and rest early, I will keep vigil tonight, this place has reached the periphery of the Behemoth Mountain Range, we must be careful!" Dan Xuan finished speaking, and drank the soup in the bowl.
