Chapter Eighty-One: Lady You, a New Mission
At noon, in the northwest direction of Tuofeng Mountain, above a hill, a cyan sword rainbow shot out from a distance.
Suddenly, Zhang Lie's figure flew out with a sword.
At the same time, nine rays of light flew out from the hills, and in a very short period of time, nine male and female monks dressed differently appeared in front of Zhang Lie.
"What's long."
"Senior Brother Zhang!"
A few slightly different salutations came from the mouths of the nine monks, but they were all extremely respectful, and they stood in mid-air one by one, waiting for the man's orders.
This is also a normal thing!
Anyone who finds that the rest of the squads that are carrying out the same task and patrolling the same area have suffered casualties one after another during the two years of carrying out the mission, and even all of them have been wiped out, and although their own team has also encountered many twists and turns, they have been lightly resolved by the people in front of them, and they will be extremely happy and convinced by this leader.
Of course, under the leadership of Zhang Lie, Li Xiong, Bai Ling and others also received a lot of rewards from the sect, and Wang Yue, who originally felt that he had no hope for the road, even sold his property to borrow debts after several rich tasks, exchanged them for Zhuji Dan, and hit Zhuji.
With such a safety factor and benefits, there is no Qi Realm cultivator who is not blushing. Therefore, the number of members of the 12th team in Region C has even been secretly fried to the point of 2,000 spirit stones, but no one is still willing to sell it.
"This time our mission is not to patrol, but to explore a nearby village and town, which was originally a town sheltered by our sect, but recently we suddenly cut off from the outside world, and the sect asked us to investigate, and it is best to be able to solve this matter directly."
Zhang Lie took out a jade talisman that he had already read and threw it to his companions present.
Completing a sudden unexpected task like this, because there is a certain degree of accidentality, there is a certain reward increase, however, in a border place like this, no one knows what the specific reason for the task is, and the reward that is raised may be inflated, but it is more likely that it will not make up for the drastic increase in the difficulty of the task at all.
"In the past two years, the border has become more and more unpeaceful, and the demon beasts have frequent activities, if it weren't for Zhang Shichang, Lao Xu, I wouldn't dare to continue to do this errand."
"Alas, what's so scary, with Zhang Shi Chang here, even if we encounter a powerful third-order demon beast, we can get out of the way."
"Li Xiong, you guy bragging, don't bring me with you. If you really run into a third-order demon beast on this mission, I'll leave you behind and let you be a bastard here. Zhang Lie snorted coldly when he heard this, and said with a flash in his eyes.
"Boss, don't say such heartless words, I know it's wrong, I really already know it's wrong, I have an eighty-year-old grandmother who has no one to take care of, and a young sister who is waiting to be fed and no one to take care of me, Boss!"
When Li Xiong heard Zhang Lie's words, he immediately screamed, causing his companions around him to laugh, and the team was filled with a happy atmosphere for a while.
"Li Xiong, you guy is really faceless and skinless, I'm ashamed of you." Xu Feijia, who was beside him, waved his sleeves, with a look of disgust on his face.
"Hahahaha......"
The laughter in the team was even louder, and even Zhang Lie shook his head and laughed, too lazy to pay attention to these two living treasures.
At this moment, the members of the 12th team of Region C who went to the mission site of Edgeworth did not know that a floating treasure ship that was far larger than the large spirit boat of the Golden Rainbow Valley was heading in the direction of the Sharpest Mountain after leaving the Golden Rainbow Valley.
Compared with the large spirit boat of Jinhong Valley, it is full of simple and practical atmosphere for transporting goods or resources.
This floating treasure ship, decorated with dragons and phoenixes, is extremely luxurious, the whole is dark gold, and there is a huge white light shield that completely envelops the hull of the ship.
On the deck of the treasure ship, the powerful man beats the drum, the beauty dances, the jade case silver cup, the spirit wine fairy fruit, and in the middle of the deck, there is a chaise longue similar to a big bed, the gauze curtain is falling, and the dark fragrance floats, although it is hazy, but it is still faintly visible that there is a beautiful female cultivator dressed in gold and red clothes, who is lightly supported by the jade arm, closing her eyes and contemplating.
After a while, she said with some regret:
"Nanyue is too small, and there is really no achievement in the kendo domain, except for that Qingyangzi is a little bit weather, it is lackluster, it seems that I have come to the wrong place this time."
"Madam, then let's return to the Middle Domain Dragon Continent? Or go to Qinzhou in the Eastern Regions to have a look? Around the curtain, a maid suggested this.
“……”
"Madam, the little maid remembered, some time ago the sword envoy Lou Hongyu reported, saying that he met a kendo monk with a lot of weather in Lifeng Mountain, but it seems to be a little immature, and the little maid did not report it to Madame, if Madame really thinks it is boring, let's go to Lifeng Mountain for a walk, maybe there will be any unexpected discoveries."
“…… Anyway, Lou Hongyu still has some eyesight. ”
Although he didn't say it, the waiters around him still understood the meaning.
It didn't take long for the entire floating treasure ship to slowly turn around and fly towards the northern Sharpedge Mountain, and at the speed of this giant ship, it obviously didn't take long to reach the Sharpest Mountain.
At the same time, Wanyi, the king of the Sharp Mountain, and Shen Pingchuan, another Purple Mansion monk, were also summoned by the sect's psychic jade book.
There is not much information that can be recorded in the psychic jade book, so the sect only explained that they must not slow down this mysterious lady and fulfill all her wishes, under this premise, if she proposes to fight each other, try to win a few battles.
It doesn't matter if you lose them all, but if you can win, this amazing lady will often have amazing treasures to give.
She was in the Dingjun Mountain Gate for a few days, sent down seven foundation building realm swordsmen, Dingjun Mountain foundation building monk only one person won the sword fight, was given a Zhu Guo, the service of the great benefit of cultivation for mana, can save years of penance.
In the cave mansion of the Purple Mansion Realm monk of Lifeng Mountain, Wang Wanyi and Shen Pingchuan looked at each other after they had seen the sect's transmission spirit rune.
"Mrs. You has also been in the mountain gate for several days, but the sect has not won a single victory, which shows that the swordsmen under her command have excellent swordsmanship. Although this is a great opportunity, I am afraid that you and I will not be able to catch it, so we must prepare, but we don't have to expect too much. ”
Gu Chen
Not long after Wang Wanyi was promoted to the Purple Mansion Realm, Shen Pingchuan was a sect refiner, and neither of them was good at fighting, so Shen Pingchuan, who was relatively old, said with a wry smile, and did not feel that there was any possibility of victory up and down the mountain.
"Even if the opportunity is not high, you should go for it. Such an opportunity may not be encountered once in hundreds of years, so I will issue a decree to order the monks who have built the foundation and practiced qi in the realm of swordsmanship to prepare, if they can defeat and enhance the prestige of the sect, in addition to the reward of Mrs. You's own merits, we, as the elders of the sect, will definitely not be stingy. ”
"That's fine." Listening to Wang Wanyi's words and looking at her somewhat expectant look, Shen Pingchuan sighed lightly in his heart, but he did not refuse.
…………
The autumn wind is bleak, and the withered leaves are falling, covering the courtyard with a beautiful yellow, but there are some people in the house who are worried.
Sun Jiheng, the mayor of Shiyi Town, has no intention of admiring the autumn colors now, but waits at the door of the house with a little apprehension, looking into the distance of the street from time to time.
Since two months ago, the thick white fog has covered the entire town, and then, the whole town has appeared a strange situation where you can enter but can't get out, in this world that is full of monks and demons, as the mayor of a mortal, Sun Jiheng quickly realized something.
He began to restrain civilians from fleeing without permission, stabilized the price of food, and then periodically sent prisoners out of the city.
This practice is not so much releasing people as "feeding", but he has no other way, this is already the best way to deal with it.
"My Shiyi Town is a town protected by the immortals, and after a long time, the immortals will definitely be aware of it, and we will be safe then."
Although he kept comforting himself like this in his heart, when Sun Jiheng stood back in his original position, the worry on his face did not decrease much, or the knife was on his neck, and the more he knew, the more frightened he became.
Finally, in the thick white mist, there was a sudden "click" sound of horses' hooves trampling on the stone slabs, and it didn't take long for the image of a horse-drawn carriage to appear at the end of the street, and gradually became clear from far and near.
When Sun Jiheng heard the voice, his face showed ecstasy, and he hurriedly stepped out of the door and stood still on the side of the street.
At last, the carriage with its cyan curtain came to a halt with the groom's long, episodic sound: "Hoo ......."
The sound of horses' hooves stopped, and a big red horse raised its head, and a white breath came from its nostrils.
The horseman who was driving was an old man who looked to be fifty or sixty years old, but his eyes when he looked at Sun Jiheng did not show any awe. On the contrary, there was a taste of looking down, and seeing this, Sun Jiheng's heart was a lot more stable.
As early as when the carriage had not stopped, Sun Jiheng had already greeted him, but Sun Jiheng did not lift the curtain as he imagined.
A slender but powerful five fingers opened the curtain from the inside, and then a figure stepped down from the carriage and waved his hand to refuse Sun Jiheng's hand that he wanted to support.
"Be careful not to make a noise, there are our companions behind us, and after entering the mansion, we will tell us the details of what happened."
"Obey the order, immortal ......" Sun Jiheng wanted to call himself an immortal master, but he was forced by the eyes of the Taoist in front of him, and his breath was instantly pressed on his chest, and he couldn't speak, and a cold sweat suddenly broke out.
The people who came were of course the 12th team in District C, Zhang Lie and his party.
Because Shiyi Town, which was sheltered by the sect, suddenly lost contact with the outside world, and as soon as the time was constant, the sect would of course notice the abnormality.
Zhang Lie and the others were ordered to investigate the matter, and as soon as they flew closer and saw the fog that enveloped the entire town from a distance, Zhang Lie knew that this was probably not the handiwork that the second-order demon could complete.
But it shouldn't be a fourth- or fifth-order great demon beast, because Shiyi Town is already too close to Forge Feng Mountain, and the wisdom of fourth- and fifth-order great demon beasts will not be inferior to that of adult humans, unless it is a full-scale war, their wisdom will not let them get too close to the gathering place of immortal cultivators, that would be too dangerous.
"Only a third-order or fourth-order insect demon beast would show this half-beast half-intelligent feeling, and it would seem so stupid. There is a high probability that it is a third-order demon beast, and the insect demon beast is often strong and strong in flesh, but the wisdom and spirituality are insufficient, and it is difficult to awaken such a fog-summoning spell. ”
"The twelfth team in Area C is now full of ten people, and after my selection, there are array mages, alchemists, and beast masters in the team, plus me, with mental calculation or unintentional, this vote is done."
After making this decision, Zhang Lie made it clear to the rest of the 12th team in Region C, as soon as they heard that they were going to be embarrassed by the third-order demon beasts, everyone was afraid at first, but they looked at each other but gradually became firm. Those who dared to join the Xuanjia Iron Guard were all monks who dared to desperately demand a lot of resources, and the confidence that Zhang Lie had brought to them in the past few years has also been strong.
And in Zhang Lie, the reason why he made this decision was because there was already some urgency, the situation in South Vietnam was gradually chaotic, but he was unable to comprehend the meaning of Jin Xing's law, since he had been practicing a thousand swords for two years and still couldn't get what he wanted, then life and death would bring more excitement and oppression.
In the battle of the Netherworld Abyss, he killed the old ghost of Yan Zangfengyan, a cultivator of the extreme peak of the Qi Cultivation Realm, and comprehended the dual elements of earth and fire, that guy was no weaker than many monks in the early stage of the foundation building realm, but he had grown over the years.
Shiyi Town, inside the mayor's mansion.
Through the human carriage, the twelve teams and ten people in District C have arrived, and the mayor of the town, Sun Jiheng, is talking about what has happened during this time.
As Sun Jiheng, who had not yet become a member of the immortal cultivators in the late congenital stage, he could not give much information, but Zhang Lie still listened very carefully, and kept asking again and again, not letting go of any information that might be valuable.
"You mean, someone shouted at the fox before they died?"
"Yes, it was a servant in our town, and he was also a famous master in the rivers and lakes back then, known as Ghost Knife Chen, but in the face of that terrifying demon beast, he just shouted twice and died, I still dream at night, and his screams are in my ears."
"Well, thank you for the information, it's important to us." After all, the help that mortals can provide is limited, and after getting the mayor to step down, Zhang Lie discussed it with the rest of the team.
Wang Yue, who was in the team, left the team in order to break through the foundation, and the four newly added people were Alchemy Master Angxiong, Array Mage Duan Yunle, Beast Master Pang Yi, and Jin Geng, a tenth-layer Qi cultivator with good personal combat strength and good at the front line of the battle, two men and two women.
Because Pang Yi was a beast master and was familiar with the habits of demon beasts, Zhang Lie's gaze fell on her first.
"Good at water spells, foxes, cannibals, it should be the Yunmeng Demon Fox or the Phantom Ink Fox, the latter is too rare, it should be the former."
