Chapter 140: A Strange Land

"I heard that the thief is quite powerful, and I want to see how powerful he is."

An old man with no hair on the top of his head and wrinkles on his face walked out with a sinister smile.

"Count me in!" It was a woman who spoke, and if it weren't for the fact that her lips were slightly thin, making people look a little snarky, I am afraid she would also be a beauty.

"And me!" This time, it was a young man with a white face and beard, holding a white paper fan in his hand, and if you look closely, you will find that the fan bone is actually made of metal.

"Okay, the seventh brother, the fifth uncle, the third aunt, and the eleventh brother, by the four of you to build the foundation, this trip will be foolproof!"

…………

Three days later, Hou Jiuming's flying boat finally landed.

Getting off the boat and looking at the unfamiliar environment in front of him, he was a little lost.

"What kind of place is this, not the place of the last trial?"

A group of people disembarked unhurriedly, and there were already people waiting outside to answer them.

After that, they followed them to a well-established village and town, and arranged a place to live.

By the time everything was done, it was already approaching night.

In the late stage of Qi training, they naturally didn't need to see the deacons in the station or anything, they just needed to follow orders.

So, they all had a good rest in the town that night.

The next morning, just after dawn, they were gathered in a clearing outside the village.

I saw that in front of everyone, an old man in a gray robe, after seeing everyone, first coughed, and then said loudly.

"Next, I shouted the name of the queue~"

"Qian Yu, Liu Ping, Ma Liang, Zhao Shang......"

After the old man finished shouting to the seven, he stopped, and the seven people obediently walked to his side.

"The seven of you will be a team in the future, and you will be on duty in rotation to guard the ground crack, if you patrol during the day, there will be a senior brother in the foundation building period to lead the team, and go to the mission hall to take over the task."

The seven people didn't seem surprised by this, and after the old man finished speaking, they bowed their hands to him, turned around and left together.

After they left, the old man began to take the roll call again.

Team by team of people was assigned, eight or nine hundred people, and it didn't take an hour to get it all done.

And Hou Jiuming also has his own teammates.

Among them, there are two that he still knows, and it was when he entered the sect with him that Wang Qiongyan was surrounded by two licking dogs.

One is named Liu Yingfeng, and the other is Huang Qi.

Liu Yingfeng didn't look special from the outside, but that Huang Qi was pretending to be forced, and he actually carried an umbrella without wind and rain.

The remaining four people are all from different peaks.

A female cultivator of Chaofengfeng, Pan Yuping.

A male cultivator of Baodan Peak, Wen Li.

A male cultivator of the Treasure Refining Pavilion, Zhang Chuang.

The last one is Hua Ying of the Divine Beast Peak.

With the addition of Hou Jiuming himself, there are just seven people.

After assigning the team, the seven left the square and introduced themselves.

When Hou Jiuming reported his name, it unexpectedly attracted the attention of Liu Yingfeng and Huang Qi.

As for the reason, it is naturally the scene during the assessment.

I believe that as long as you haven't boarded the ship at that time, you will hardly forget him.

"Brother Hou, I didn't expect to meet here!" Huang Qi, who was carrying an umbrella, greeted him with a smile, and didn't seem to look down on him at all because he was from a casual cultivation background.

As for Liu Yingfeng, he nodded and stopped talking.

"Brother Huang, Brother Liu," he hugged his fists at the two of them, which was a response, and then looked at Huang Qi and said, "I didn't expect such a coincidence, since the day of farewell, three years have passed now, and Brother Huang and Brother Liu's demeanor is better than in the past." ”

"Where~Where~" Huang Qi smiled humbly.

Seeing this, Zhang Chuang, the big man of the Treasure Refining Pavilion, asked with a puzzled expression, "The three of you knew each other before?" ”

As he spoke, the other people gathered their gazes.

"It's not just acquaintance, we are the sect that entered at the same time......" Huang Qi seems to be very good at dealing with each other, and it doesn't take a while to make it easier for everyone to get acquainted with each other.

With him as a concoction, the strangeness between the seven people was also slightly diluted.

After chatting for a while, everyone was familiar with each other, and Huang Qi opened his mouth to break the atmosphere.

"Let's go and see the mission first, it's best to be able to receive the daytime inspection mission."

For the two tasks of arming at night and patrolling at night, Hou Jiuming knew something before he came.

Comparatively speaking, the patrol tasks during the day are much better.

Not to mention the leadership of a special captain during the foundation building period, there will be a lot less fighting.

I don't want it to be at night, the Earth Splitter Beast will be killed and dispatched, attacking the defense line, and if you don't get it right, your life will be in danger.

Everyone had no opinion on Huang Qi's proposal and went to the mission hall together.

The town runs from north to south, and although there are no more mortals, shops are still open on both sides of the street.

It is understood that they were all opened by the disciples and deacons stationed here.

After all, there must be a place for buying and selling with so many people.

And the Mission Hall, located in the center of the town, is a huge stone hall rising from the ground.

Looking at its grand scale, it should have been established after the Huating Sect came.

Because the stone wall has no gaps in the whole thing, mortals can't get it out.

By the time the seven of them arrived at the main hall, there was already a long queue at the door.

At the same time, there are people who keep coming out of it.

Some of these people were full of excitement, while others were depressed.

"Your luck is too bad, I knew I was on it."

"Then why didn't you say it then, what's the use of saying it now?"

"Okay, don't make any noise, it's night, it's sooner or later."

"Just stick to it for a month, and then you won't be drawing lots."

Regarding what these people said, Hou Jiuming listened to it for a while and understood what was going on.

It turns out that the newcomer assigns the task not by himself, but by drawing lots.

If you're lucky, you'll be able to catch patrolling during the day, and if you're unlucky, you'll only be on duty at night.

However, after a month, the team on duty at night will be directly switched to daytime patrols.

Those who patrol during the day are on duty at night.

After that, it's time to swap things around.

After learning of this situation, Huang Qi couldn't help but turn his head and discuss with them.

"Which of you is lucky?"

"Actually, I feel like it's the same day and night, but it's just a matter of time and night." Liu Yingfeng couldn't help but say after he asked.

"yes, it's the turn of the night anyway, so why do you have to patrol it during the day for the first time?" Wen Li of Baodanfeng is not very old, and he should have been adopted by Huating Sect since he was a child.

In addition, being in Baodan Peak, the conditions are a bit good, so the whole person looks round.

"What do you know, it's the first time for us to participate in the ground rift guard, if we are stationed directly at night, we won't even be mentally prepared at all, and if there is a good thing at that time, it will be over,

The daytime patrol is different, not only are there few ground crack beasts, but there is also a captain in the foundation building period to lead, which will give us time to adapt. ”
