Chapter Seventy-Four: On the Mission (1)
With the huge drum wings erected on both sides flapping, the large wooden spirit boat shuttles and flies through the sea of clouds in the sky.
In the process, a few small black dots flew down, and when they landed at a certain low altitude, Edgeworth flew up and headed towards the southeast.
It was the twelfth team of District C of Lifeng Mountain, a group of seven monks led by Zhang Lie.
The Forge Peak Mountain is located in a remote area, and if it weren't for the discovery of a large spiritual iron ore vein here, Jinhong Valley would not have made great efforts to relocate the population to manage this place.
However, even if it has been in business for a hundred years, the farther away from Sharpedge Mountain, the more monsters and spirits will be entrenched and survived, and the migration of monster beasts from time to time will bring a huge threat to the villages, towns and counties around Sharpedge Mountain.
Therefore, the elite of the Iron Guard Army of Fenfeng Mountain must frequently go to the surrounding borders to explore, and whether they can solve the problem is secondary, at least to avoid being caught off guard.
"Cloud Flag, up!"
Wang Yue, a female cultivator who had already changed into a dark robe, took the lead in casting spells after standing on the flying sword.
A small white ash flag under her control, with the entry of the mana spirit technique, continued to spread out rolling clouds and mist, and soon several people present were wrapped in.
When you go out, no one is sure how high-level demon beasts you will encounter, so compared to combat power, hiding is actually the most important thing.
Wang Yue's Cloud Mist Banner has the effect of concealing the breath, slightly speeding up everyone's flight speed, and slightly reducing everyone's mana consumption, which can be said to be a very high-quality second-order magic weapon.
Just like what Zhang Lie stepped on at this time, it was a cyan sword light, because at this time, there was no need for the explosion of the fire flying sword or the sharpness of the metal flying sword, but it needed to be flexible and long, stable and low consumption, so the wood attribute flying sword was the most suitable choice.
Knowing that he lacked relevant experience, Zhang Lie rarely took the initiative to give any orders along the way, and most of the suggestions of others were accepted.
This made the atmosphere between the seven members of the 12 teams in Region C more and more harmonious. A boss who is capable and willing to listen to the opinions of his subordinates is undoubtedly respected.
It is said that it is a border exploration, but in fact, it is a fixed-point patrol to monitor whether there are signs of a large group of demon beasts migrating in the direction of Mt. Forge in the wilderness outside.
After each of the seven people flying to the designated area of the mission, they must take out the shadow stone to reflect the surrounding scenery, and hand it over to the general affairs hall after returning as a certificate to complete the task.
The work of ten people is now done by seven people, which is a little hard, but the thought that seven people can share the remuneration of ten people, everyone endures it.
Most of the time the frontier exploration mission was nothing, and during Edgeworth's flight, the seven of them naturally started chatting.
or anecdotes or some weird and bizarre stories, Zhang Lie didn't speak to this, just listened to it.
But in the process, he gradually got to know everyone in his team:
Wang Yue, the deputy captain of the 12th team in District C, is now fifty-seven years old, practicing Qi at the ninth level of cultivation, and once married a disciple of the inner sect of the sect, but within a few years, her Taoist companion died in a mission.
Although the sect gave a bereavement pension, this kind of comforting bereavement cannot be compared with a big living person after all, whether emotionally or financially, after the death of her husband, she supported the family of two people alone, because she was already the highest cultivator of the two families.
That cold female cultivator's surname was Bai Mingling, she was a water-based spiritual root immortal cultivator, who practiced the Qi Eight-Layer Realm, majoring in ice-based spells, and had some means.
The tall and thin old man in the yellow robe, who called himself Huangshi, was born in a loose cultivation and brought art into the sect, and had already married more than a dozen wives and concubines in the sect, and gave birth to dozens of children, several of which had spiritual roots. The seventh-layer realm of Qi cultivation is fighting for his dream of establishing a family of cultivating immortals.
Grains
The other three people have a surname Xu, a surname Zhang, and a surname Li, all of whom are in the late stage of Qi training, two Qi training eight layers and one Qi training nine layers.
"Okay, it's time to a designated area again, Li Xiong, Bai Ling, Xu Feijia, Zhang Leshan, Wang Yue, the five of you take the Shadow Stone to the designated place, be careful with each other, and send a communication spell immediately if there is an emergency."
"Subordinates obey."
"Yes."
Zhang Lie took the old Dao Huangshi to stay in place, and arranged for five subordinates to go to different positions to enter the shadow to reconnoitre.
Li Xiong and Xu Feijia are going all the way to the area, because the two of them have moved forward together in the early stage.
"He is also a loving instructor, and he assigns us all the work to do, and he enjoys leisure there." Seeing that it was far enough away, Li Xiong said with some complaints.
"Okay, it's better than Boss Ma back then, he loves to command people, and he also harasses Wang Yue and Bai Ling, at least he really has the ability. Moreover, people don't do things for the sake of being lazy, they stay in the middle point, and once something happens, they can support them as soon as possible. ”
"Hey, I'm just a cheap mouth, how can you still be serious, our new chief is really capable, and I'm not deaf or blind."
Zhang Lie took the old Dao Huangshi to stay on the middle point and slowly fell, landing on the trunk of a big tree to hide his body and recover his mana.
Zhang Lie closed his eyes, maintained his spirit and was silent, and the old man Huang Shi took out a compass and cautiously glanced around.
The older the rivers and lakes, the less courageous they are, and they are talking about people like Huangshi, but this is not derogatory.
An hour later, nothing happened, and everyone flew back one after another.
Looking at the already gloomy sky, Zhang Lie said, "It's late today, and everyone is already tired, so let's rest here." ”
"Subordinates obey."
So I set up camp and did not do anything all night.
In the ancient years when sword cultivation was rampant in this world, the immortal cultivators of that era were really clear and breezy and immortal.
In the deep mountains and valleys, one or several old sword immortals only included one, two, or a dozen disciples per person, and then included some servants with spiritual roots and qualifications to seek immortality, sheltering tens of thousands of people in a village.
The basic materials are provided by the village, and the spiritual fields are cultivated by servants, although some simple methods are also taught, and occasional classes can be sitting.
But only two or three or even one person actually teach the true transmission. At that time, the sword cultivation, the flying sword went out of the mountain, everywhere he went, he was looking for secrets, and wherever he went, he was slaying demons and killing evil flying swords to refine demons!
Not now, even a small foundation-building family in the border wasteland realm blesses a population of more than a dozen or hundreds of thousands, and a Jindan sect manages millions of people at every turn.
But that's it, there are still large areas of land in this world that have not been reclaimed and utilized, and there are still a large number of demon beasts entrenched in the deep mountains and old forests, competing with the human race for living space:
It can be seen how exaggerated those ancient sword immortals were ten thousand years ago, they really only wanted to attack and neglect to operate. Of course, there are also some reasons for the revival of the demon clan due to the internal attack and internal friction of the immortal cultivators.
