The Five Elements Mountains, the path of stone steps leading to the temple

At this time, a team of dozens of people was walking towards the stone steps, they were dressed in animal skin clothes, and they were covered with thick battle armor, their skin was the same color as the battle armor, and they were all as strong as tigers and leopards.

At the head of the line were more than a dozen teenagers, who looked to be sixteen or seventeen years old, although their bodies were as strong as those of a bull and a lion, but the resoluteness in their eyes was still a little insufficient.

At this time, it is not only the lack of fortitude, but also the fear and begging for mercy in the eyes.

"Don't send us there. A strong young man with short hair in length said softly with his legs, "We have just become a cultivator, and we can't stand the test of the guards." ”

More than a dozen other people also cried:

"Daddy, spare me, my cousin has broken through to the Venerable Master, but he has been lying down for a month because of the task of the caretaker, and if he were me, he would definitely die. ”

"Am I my own? It's pushing me into the fire pit. ”

"Patriarch, you grew up watching, can you bear to let us suffer?"

......

In the center of the crowd, there is an old man in a white robe holding a golden and bronze dragon head cane, he looks old, the skin on his face is very dry, like the bark of a century-old tree, but his eyes are very bright.

Hearing the boys' pleas for mercy, the white-robed old man had a straight face, knocked the ground a few times with his cane, and reproached: "You little cubs, don't be in the midst of blessings and don't know the blessings, the task of the caretaker will be of great help to your future, and you can suffer more sins now, so as to avoid being swallowed by the beast in the future." ”

At the signal of the white-robed old man, more than a dozen teenagers were driven to the stone steps one after another. Although they were extremely reluctant, how could they withstand the force pressure of their elders. And they are only cultivators, they don't have the ability to fly, and they can't run if they want to.

More than a dozen teenagers huddled in a ball, shaking all over, looked dramatic. The white-robed old man and the others were respectful, as if they were waiting for something.

After a while, the white-robed old man said happily: "The task has been issued." ”

As he spoke, he himself knelt directly on his knees and kowtowed heavily. At the same time, the rest of the people also knelt down and bowed.

Although the teenagers on the stone steps had sad faces, when they saw that the elders were kneeling on the ground, they also immediately knelt on the stone steps, and their heads collided with the stone face, and there was a "bang" sound.

――――――

The mountains are densely forested, and the wet forest wind blows in a canyon, and many colorful centipedes, colorful snakes, and unknown poisonous insects poke their heads out of the thick grass on both sides of the canyon from time to time, as if looking for prey.

At this moment, there were several thunderous birdsong sounds in the sky, and the shadows of more than a dozen giant birds quickly swept over the grass on one side, making the poisons inside disappear in an instant.

In the center of the canyon, there is no grass here, and the stones on the cliff face are completely dry gray-black, as if they have been split by lightning.

However, in this place, there are huge nests, and the branches that build the nests are twisted together like dark iron chains, and there is a faint thunder light on them.

"Woo ......"

More than a dozen giant birds nested and roosted, they were six or seven meters long, their wings could reach fifteen or sixteen meters, their backs were streamlined, and their scales were shining with thunder and lightning.

......"Shh

Soon after the giant birds landed, a flash of lightning flashed from time to time in an area of thousands of feet, and wherever it slashed, it was scorched.

That's the reason why there is no grass.

Below, a faint sound came out, and the group of people who had appeared on the stone steps in front of the temple before reappeared.

The white-robed old man holding a golden-bronze dragon head cane glanced at the tall nest flock, then pointed to an empty nest at the edge, and said to the surrounding teenagers: "The task assigned by the caretaker is for you to climb into the empty nest and take out the peach pit inside. ”

Hearing this, the legs of this young man couldn't help but tremble, facing the group of giant birds above, it is estimated that even if the Venerable Master goes, he will be electrocuted into charcoal.

"Go. The white-robed old man urged, "Be careful, don't be discovered by the Thunderbirds." ”

Chasing ducks on the shelves, more than a dozen teenagers can only stubbornly approach the target, although they are very scared, but they have been living in the wilderness for a long time, and their actions are more flexible when danger is shrouded.

The dark lines on their bodies appeared, hooked with the lush grass, climbed the vertical cliff wall as if walking on the ground, and even with a twitch of their nose, they could smell the presence of poison around them, and solve them first.

Whew!

A bolt of lightning struck a teenager's hand, only two inches away, and a strong tingling sensation instantly conveyed the teenager's whole body, and the teenager felt that his brain was blank and almost fell. He gritted his teeth, and although one hand was completely blackened, he saw that the rest of the people were struggling to move forward, so he had to continue to go up.

The father of the boy below was shocked to see that although the person who took over the caretaker's mission had never been fatal, there were some who were seriously injured or even disabled.

The ptarmigans not far away poke their heads out of their nests from time to time, and every turn of their eyes made the teenagers' hearts tremble, and if a ptarmigan spotted them, the mission would end in failure.

"The teenagers who live in the Great Wilderness have very good cultivation qualifications. ”

High in the sky, a pair of eyes are staring at the teenagers climbing the cliff below, he is the night sky search.

At this time, ten days had passed since Ye Tianxun left the Forbidden Land of Death, and during this time, in addition to cultivating and waiting for the development of the plan, he spent his spare time observing what kind of experiences the cultivators who received the Guardian Mission.

Under the observation of Ye Tianxun, the thunderbirds used to train the teenagers are very strange, and there is a feeling of non-flesh life.

In the past ten days, he also observed two missions, the first time when the low-level master encountered the four-hoofed one-horned thunder beast, the second time when the middle-level master encountered the humanoid thunderbolt creature, and this time it was the thunderbird.

Energy Body Life?

Ye Tianxun made a bold guess, perhaps this explanation is the most reasonable. The life of the energy body can change, but the essence of the energy does not change, so they have commonalities.

"The treasure of the caretaker must be the source of thunder and lightning. ”

Ye Tianxun was almost 100% sure, and although he had been here for the Thunder and Lightning Origin from the beginning, this coincidence still amazed him.

If you really succeed in establishing the five major systems and embarking on the road to perfection, how far will your qualifications go against the sky?

As the teenagers continued to approach the lair, the thunder and lightning of "snort, snort!" also intensified, and some teenagers were even directly hit by the lightning and rolled down in black.

"Looks like they're going to fail this mission. Ye Tianxun shook his head regretfully, and at this time, his eyes suddenly moved, and he raised his eyes to look into the distance.

Just now, Yu He's soul has been transmitted, and the task has been completed!

"It's finally time to get started. ”

The monstrous battle intent erupted from the body of the night sky......
