Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Cliff
"Hello senior brother, I'm here to collect the task." Duanmu Yi said politely to the deacon disciple who was dozing next to the ninth-level task pillar.
The deacon disciple didn't raise his head, still squinted his eyes, and said listlessly: "I'm a ninth-level task, I'm afraid it's not suitable for you, go next to it!" ”
Duanmu said angrily: "I just want to receive the ninth-level task. The voice was not loud, but there was no one next to the ninth-level task pillar, and at this time, a person who was not afraid of death suddenly appeared, and everyone who received the task in the task hall looked sideways.
"Which of the four categories are you going to do?" Deacon disciple said.
"Except for the thorns, all three types must be done." Duanmu Yidao.
"What? Do all three? "The deacon's disciples couldn't believe their ears.
"You have to do all three, you see what tasks have been released today." Duanmu is easy to be authentic.
"What? Did you hear it wrong, this guy is going to get three level 9 missions at once? ”
"It's three missions, yes!"
"Is this guy dead?" A woman with beautiful eyebrows in the crowd said. There seemed to be a hint of regret in his tone, such a handsome young man was about to turn into a cold corpse.
"It's terrible!"
"Young and vigorous, blood boiling for a while, I really don't know how thick the sky is."
The crowd was discussing, all shocked and regretful. It was as if Duanmu Yi was already dead.
The deacon disciple ignored everyone and said lightly: "This treasure hunt mission is to go to the cave and pick ten purple spirit grasses. ”
"Grotto?" A stout young man in the crowd let out an exclamation, the infamous forbidden place of death.
"Purple Spirit Grass! Ten more! A tall young man sighed. The Purple Spirit Phantom Grass is a precious elixir of the middle grade of the spirit level, even one plant is priceless, let alone ten plants, where to find it?
"Little brother, listen to me, you can't go to that cave." The one who spoke was a lean young man, slightly older than Duanmu Yi. When everyone looked again, where was there a complete hand on one of the arms that the young man had raised? The mutilated half of the hand had only two fingers on it, which was shocking, and the other sleeve was empty, floating in the wind. "The arm and half of my hand that I lost were bitten off by the monster in the cave, and I ...... what the monster looks like I, I didn't figure it out all the time. I'm afraid it's a ghost...... Hmmmm...... "The lean young man warned Duanmu Yi while telling about his tragic experience, and after talking about it, he couldn't help but tremble in his voice, as if he was still creepy when he remembered it.
The deacon disciple looked at Duanmu Yi and said, "Do you still take it?" ”
Duanmu Yi was unmoved, and said calmly: "Pick it up, why don't you take it!" ”
Wow –
There was a commotion in the crowd, and there was a consensus in everyone's hearts, that is, this son would die.
The deacon's disciple took off the task wooden card from the task pillar and handed it to Duanmu Yi, who reached out and took it and put it directly into the blanket, not caring at all. Then he said, "May I ask Senior Brother, what are the next missions of conquest and exploration?" ”
The deacon disciples have never seen such a person who is so trusted, no, it is not so much the conceit of the great, but the self-confidence and strength against the sky. Looking at Duanmu Yi's determined eyes, he said, "Your second task is to explore the Ancient Demon Domain. ”
"Do you mean the Ancient Secret Realm Ancient Demon Domain in the depths of Youdu Mountain?" A handsome young man in the crowd asked the deacon disciple. This Junxiu young man was originally queuing up in front of the seventh-level task pillar, and when he heard the deacon disciple next to the ninth-level task pillar talking about the Ancient Demon Domain, his eyes flashed with a fine light, and he seemed to be very interested.
"You're right! It was in the Ancient Demon Realm in that Ancient Secret Realm. The deacon disciple replied. Then he looked at Duanmu Yi and continued: "I heard the news in the sect that there have been abnormal movements in the Ancient Demon Domain recently, I am afraid that the legendary Corpse Blood Divine Soldier was born, your task is to enter the Ancient Demon Domain and explore the truth and truth, if it is really the Corpse Blood Divine Soldier who was born, be sure to kill all of them, and collect the weapons used by them as much as possible and bring them back." ”
When everyone heard the deacon's disciple explain the task, they all shut their mouths and remained silent, as if they were already in a dead place, with a chill on their backs and hair standing on end. After a long time, someone finally broke the silence and said: "It is rumored that the ninth-level task is not something that can be completed by idle people, and I heard it today, and it really deserves its reputation." Suddenly, the crowd was full of sighs.
Duanmu Yi set his eyes on the handsome young man who had asked before, and said kindly: "Why is Brother Tai also interested in the Ancient Demon Domain?" ”
Seeing Duanmu Yi asking him, the handsome young man walked out of the team in front of the seventh-level task pillar, came to Duanmu Yi and said, "I wonder if Brother Tai can allow me to join your team and go together?" ”
At this time, Ghost Elder and Bing'er were already standing behind Duanmu Yi, Duanmu Yi looked at Bing'er, Bing'er's eyes were as clear as water, and he had no opinion, and looked at Ghost Elder again, and Ghost Elder nodded cautiously.
"If you have the guts and courage, we welcome you to join us." Duanmu Yi looked at the handsome young man in front of him, judging from the aura emanating from his body, this person's cultivation should be in the late stage of the seventh order of the Qi Refining Realm, and if he encounters any danger, it will also be a good help.
Duanmu Yi turned around and politely asked the deacon disciples, "Is there a limit to the number of people in the mission?" ”
The deacon disciple said: "There is no limit, but when you turn in the task, everyone who participates in the task will share the task reward equally." ”
Duanmu Yi said: "It's okay, give me the task." Duanmu Yi spread his hands in front of him.
The deacon's disciple took off the two task cards from the task pillar and placed them in Duanmuyi's palm. Duanmu Yi grabbed the task wooden card, also put it into the blanket, and said to the ghost elder, Bing'er and the handsome young man: "Let's go, the task has been picked up, and then we have to work together to complete the task, I don't want any casualties." ”
Not long after Duanmu Yi and the four of them left the mission hall. In the sect hall, the deacon disciple knelt in front of an old man with gray hair. The old man's originally cloudy eyes flashed from time to time, and after listening carefully to the report of the deacon disciple, he said slowly: "Youyi, you pay close attention to the whereabouts of these four people, and secretly send people to protect their safety, but you must not show up until the last moment of death. Got it? ”。
The deacon disciple named Youyi said respectfully: "Obey the master's orders!" ”
The old man said, "Stand down!" ”。 Yu Yi bowed and bowed respectfully. The old man muttered to himself: "If you can complete the task and come back alive, you will definitely change the sky in the future." Ay...... I hope you can come back smoothly. ”
Duanmu Yi led the three of them to leave the island in the middle of the lake by boat, and walked all the way to the gate of the Netherworld Holy Sect. There are not many old words, leading the way on the side, and glancing at the handsome young man and Bing'er from time to time. Bing'er followed closely by Duanmu Yi's side, saying a few witty words from time to time, making everyone laugh.
Everyone walked all the way, chatted all the way, went out of the mountain gate, and went straight to the depths of Youdu Mountain.
The handsome young man introduced his situation in detail, and it turned out that the handsome young man's name was Huang Ji, and he was a disciple of the yellow-clothed holy envoy.
There are six holy envoys in the Netherworld Holy Sect, which are the Tsing Yi Holy Envoy, the Yellow Clothed Holy Envoy, the Red Clothed Holy Envoy, the White Saint Envoy, the Black Clothed Holy Envoy, and the Purple Clothed Holy Envoy.
The first of the six holy envoys, the Tsing Yi Holy Envoy, was killed by Qi Sixian, the first great disciple of Tiantai Mountain, in the battle of Tiantai Mountain Canyon, so the six holy envoys were vacant by one, and the yellow-clothed holy envoy was originally ranked second, but now he has actually become the head of the five holy envoys. Among the five holy envoys, the purple-clothed holy envoy had fought with Duanmu Yi in the Holy Hidden Kingdom. The black-clothed holy envoy once captured Duanmu Yi and almost killed him. Duanmu Yi knows a lot about these two people.
As for the yellow-clothed holy envoy, the red-clothed holy envoy, and the white-clothed holy envoy, Duanmu Yi had never seen it. Huang Ji gave a general introduction to the situation of the Master Huangyi Holy Envoy, and it sounded like a clear stream of the Netherworld Holy Sect. For the yellow-clothed holy envoy, Ghost Lao and Bing'er also have no bad impression. So Duanmuyi, Bing'er, and Ghost Lao had a little more trust in this new Huang Ji.
On the front of the mission plaque is the mission's name, level, and reward. On the back, detailed mission information is depicted, as well as a simple map. Duanmu Yi Bing'er and the other four people followed the instructions of the map, and went straight to the place where the cave was located, gradually getting deeper and deeper, and unconsciously, they had gone hundreds of miles deep into the Youdu Mountain.
The four of them traveled for two whole days, and came to the bottom of a cliff, which stood thousands of miles and stood abruptly, as if reaching into the sky, stretching endlessly, like a huge barrier, lying in front of everyone. Duanmu Yi took out the task wooden card, and when he turned it over, the map showed that the cave was in this cliff, but as far as the eye could see, there were only birds, ancient trees and strange stones, and there were no caves and caves.
Duanmu Yi said: "The map shows that the cave is nearby, everyone scattered to look for it." ”
Bing'er said: "I'm a little scared, I always feel that there will be fierce beasts in this place. ”
Duanmu Yi said: "In this case, then we will divide into three ways, keep in touch at any time, and come to find each other at close range." Bing'er, you can come with me. ”
The ghost elder had no opinion, and Huang Ji agreed, and the three of them quickly dispersed, carefully searching for the grass, shrubs, boulders and other hidden places under the cliff.
The four of them were busy for a long time, but they still didn't see any shadows of the caves, everything seemed very calm, and they didn't see a single demon beast, not even a snake, not a single eagle. The sun of the king is about to sink in the west. The light faded. The hearts of the four couldn't help but get nervous. There is nothing terrible about the barren mountains and mountains, but the mission map shows that the cave is near here, this cave is notorious, and the four of them invariably thought of the lean young man with only half a hand on one arm that they saw when they received the task, Bing'er stretched out a pair of jade hands and glanced at it, as if he was about to lose this hand.
Duanmu Yi said: "Don't resist, everyone, I'll send you to my space ring." The three of them all nodded, there was no suitable place to stay, and the space ring was a safe place. Duanmu Yi's thoughts enveloped the three of them, and the three of them did not resist, and were instantly pulled into the pitch-black ring space.
Duanmu Yi took the ring off his hand and found a hidden stone crack, stuffed the space ring into it, and covered it with some grass before he moved his mind and entered the ring space.
