Chapter 247: Growth
Because the Demon Clan had no plans to launch a large-scale war against the Human Temple Alliance in the near future, even though Yue Shen and the demon hunters who were under the protection of the Alliance were out of the city to fight, there was not much danger.
Although it is said that because this is the front-line battlefield between humans and demons, there will inevitably be demon gods here, but the exorcism pass is not vegetarian either. You must know that this is the headquarters of the Assassin Temple, as the Assassin class among the six major professions, which is known for its extreme attack, how could it choose to blindly defend?
Therefore, when Yue Shen and the other demon hunters went out of the city to perform their tasks, the Exorcism Pass was not idle, and the Xia Yin Hall, to which the Assassin Temple belonged, would send a king-level assassin master every time to take care of the demon hunters who were on their mission, so that they would not be attacked by the demon gods who were sitting on the battlefield of the Exorcism Pass.
On the battlefield, months passed quickly.
In the past few months of training, Yue Shen and the people of the handsome No. 61 Demon Hunting Group have also benefited a lot.
The biggest harvest from coming here is Shi Qi, who not only successfully completed the absorption of the Returning Soul Furnace, but also completed the first evolution of the Spirit Furnace, and his strength has been greatly improved, and he has also been recognized by the predecessors of his own Templar Hidden Hall.
Although the others have spent most of their time on missions in the past few months, they don't have much time to cultivate, so that the improvement in spiritual power is not too large, but on the basis of the original, they have only increased their spiritual power by two or three levels.
But fortunately, the purpose of their coming here was not to cultivate, but to hone their combat skills and earn meritorious deeds.
Unconsciously, Yue Shen and their handsome No. 61 Demon Hunting Regiment's total merit value came to about 500,000, saving a lot of merit. Not only that, but in this months-long battle, both the actual combat experience and the proficiency of the newly mastered skills have been greatly improved.
Then there was Yue Shen, although he had deliberately suppressed the natural growth rate of his spiritual power, since he had entered the late stage of the sixth order since he came here to perform the mission, he still inevitably came to the peak of the sixth order, and he was only one step away from breaking through the seventh order.
Fortunately, Yue Shen's bottleneck of breaking through from the sixth order to the seventh order had not been loosened for the time being, so Yue Shen was not in a hurry to break through, but continued to lead the team to continue to carry out the task together.
In the past few months, the handsome No. 61 Demon Hunting Regiment led by Yue Shen has also made a name for itself in the Exorcism Pass, and almost all the soldiers who are responsible for guarding the Exorcism Pass are familiar with their deeds during this time.
In particular, Yue Shen, who is the commander of the 61st regiment of the handsome level, relied on his strong personal strength to obtain the recognition of the Exorcism Pass, and as a demon hunter, he was recorded by the Exorcism Pass military with many military exploits.
They also promised that as long as Yue Shen was willing to sit in the Exorcism Pass on behalf of his Knight Templar after ending his career as a demon hunter, they would let Yue Shen save a series of promotion steps, appoint him as the deputy head of the Templar Order, and directly let him join the military leadership of the Exorcism Pass.
Know that these conditions are not as simple as they seem, as the ranks conferred by the six temples are common among the major temples.
In other words, if Yue Shenzhen went to serve in the Exorcism Pass after ending his career as a demon hunter, when he could apply to change guards with others, he would be able to return to the Knights' Temple as the deputy head of the Templar Order, and he would not have to start from the grassroots level like other demon hunters who ended their careers in the Demon Hunter Regiment......
It's a pity that Yue Shen didn't plan to end his career in the Demon Hunting Group prematurely, and he wasn't very interested in joining the military, so even if the Exorcism Pass military said it wildly, Yue Shen didn't take it too seriously.
Calculate the time, it's time, right?
Using a coarse cloth to wipe away the long sword in his hand, the goddess of light sighed all kinds of blood stains on the sword, Yue Shen thought secretly in his heart.
After burning down the demon clan's grain convoy, it's time to return to the exorcism level and let everyone rest for a while, right?
Yue Shen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he glanced at his teammates who were busy checking the wagon transporting grain from the Demon Clan not far away, and then destroying it.
In fact, they have not been so smooth in the past few months, and there are many times when they encounter dangers that are enough to reduce the number of personnel in their team. After all, their handsome sixty-one is not only famous in the military of the Exorcism Pass, but also among the demons in the Exorcism Pass battlefield, they have also received great attention.
Not to mention the number of times they encountered the demon ambush on the way to the mission, the number of times they were attacked by the demon god who was sitting on the battlefield of the exorcism pass was as high as five times.
If it weren't for the assassin seniors in the Hidden Hall of Heroes to take over, they might have suffered casualties during their mission.
After all, no matter how significant their growth during this period of time was, the Demon God level powerhouse whose spiritual power cultivation had already entered the ninth order and had been carrying the Demon God Pillar with them was not at all something that their team with only sixth-order cultivation could resist.
Of course, they weren't so lucky to be able to get a response from the Assassin Templar Hidden Hall seniors every time they had an accident and were hunted down by the demon gods who were sitting on the battlefield of the Exorcism Pass.
Therefore, Yue Shen has been hiding from everyone that he holds the secret of the Tower of Eternity, and it was also made public during this period of time when he was on a mission.
After discovering that the team was being chased and killed by the Flame Lion Demon Demon An Luo, who ranked fifty-second among the seventy-two Pillar Demon Gods, Yue Shen didn't care about keeping his secret, so he directly led everyone in the team and brought everyone to the Tower of Eternity through the transmission of the Eternal Melody.
After all, after this period of getting along, Yue Shen actually knew that his teammates were trustworthy and would help him keep this secret. So it was also the opportunity to be hunted down by the demon god that time, and led everyone into the Tower of Eternity.
Speaking of which, after coming to the Tower of Eternity at that time, the most surprised member of the team was naturally the player member Xue Meng who mixed into his team.
Thinking about it, she shouldn't have been able to believe it, this original world line should have belonged to Long Haochen's Tower of Eternity, but it was actually in my hands, right? Thinking of Xue Meng's surprised expression at that time, Yue Shen still couldn't help but want to laugh.
Although he had already let everyone know that he was 'forced' to inherit the 'evil' necromancer inheritance, Yue Shen had no intention of leading everyone to explore the Tower of Eternity together.
Not to mention that with everyone's current spiritual power cultivation, they can no longer be improved by absorbing the spiritual power light group rewarded by defeating the Necromantic Creature of the Tower of Eternity, just let a few members of the team know that the Shura Slash and Shura Thorn that they had taught them to learn and master earlier were from the 'reward' of exploring this Tower of Eternity......
But fortunately, after everyone understood what happened, they didn't continue to ask Yue Shen too much about the Tower of Eternity. After all, according to Yue Shen, the only role of this place for him is to use it as a 'safe house'.
However, Xue Meng should not believe her words at all, but Yue Shen has said it to this point, not only is it not good for her to say anything more, but she also has to keep her persona in front of everyone from the perspective of their priest's temple, and try her best to persuade Yue Shen not to be confused by the power of the necromancer......
In addition to this, there is good news. That was the letter that Yue Shen had sent to Elder Ling of Zhennan Guan, who was at the headquarters of the Priest's Temple, before they were all still in the Holy City and had not set off to carry out the mission at the Exorcism Pass, had finally received a reply.
In order to fulfill his promise that he would equip all members of the team with a spirit furnace for fusion and absorption, Yue Shen also asked the other party to be a priest member of his own team, Xue Meng, in the letter he sent to Ling Lao, with a spirit furnace suitable for her type of priest to absorb and absorb.
Of course, with Yue Shen's temperament, he would definitely not be cheeky to ask for it, so he also said in his letter that he would definitely return the favor of the priest temple in the future. It's just that Yue Shen didn't have much expectations for this matter at that time, after all, he and Ling Lao could only have a slightly better relationship.
But what Yue Shen expected was that Ling Lao not only directly promised to equip Xue Meng, a priest member of his team, with a spirit furnace, but also did not mention anything about the return gift mentioned by Yue Shen in the letter, and the highlight was a free gift.
The free ones are the most expensive, right...... Yue Shen couldn't help but feel a chill when he thought back to the picture when Ling Lao and Ling Xiao, the two priests of the temple hall, were riveting enough to poach themselves from the knight's temple.
It's best to find a chance to return this favor as soon as possible...... At this time, Yue Shen could be said to have no joy in his heart, but felt that the pressure on his body suddenly became greater.
"Boss, do we have any other unfinished tasks at hand now?"
When Yue Shen reviewed what had happened during this time, after setting fire to the grain carriages sent from the territory of the Demon Clan to the Demon Clan's camp to support the Demon Clan, Lin Xin trotted to Yue Shen and asked.
"No, this is the last one." Yue Shen shook his head, his eyes swept over the members of the team who were all a little tired, "It just so happens that it's time for us to go back and recuperate, let's go back to the exorcism level first." ”
After listening to what Yue Shen said, everyone also breathed a sigh of relief, and then cheers from the bottom of their hearts sounded.
After all, after experiencing this months-long war mission, everyone's previous sharpness has been almost worn out. The high-intensity task, even those demon hunters whose physique was far above ordinary people, now only felt deep fatigue.
"Let's rest for a while, and the task will be over first." Yue Shen coughed lightly twice, and after pulling back everyone's thoughts that they no longer knew where they had flown to, he continued to speak: "We have also saved a lot of merits during this time, which is enough for us to spend for a while. And I only recently learned that the Demon Hunter Mission Tower in the Holy City may be reopened to us Demon Hunters of the rank and below for missions that need to enter the territory of the Demon Race after a while. ”
"Really?" Jin Ruchuan's voice was a little excited.
Yue Shen nodded and replied, "I think it's quite reliable, after all, the number of 'Demon Hunting' composed of high-level demon elites will definitely not be too many, and it is those king-level and emperor-level seniors who are responsible for solving them, and those Demon Hunting Demons will not be their opponents." ”
"And even if the Demon Hunters are not completely wiped out, their threat to our team is actually very small, and what really affects us is whether the mission tower will reopen to us for missions." Yue Shen beckoned everyone to ride on the horses that had been separated from the demon clan's grain convoy, and continued: "After all, we can disguise ourselves as the Moon Demon Clan, and with our strength, we can still deal with ordinary demon hunting. Besides, no, we still have 'safe houses'. ”
"That's right, if you want to say that in the handsome-level demon hunting group now, it's safest to enter the territory of the demon clan to carry out tasks, isn't it our team?" After listening to Yue Shen's words, Lin Xin also showed an expression of sudden realization.
"And the boss can almost start preparing to break through the seventh order, right? At that time, the strength of our team, looking at the entire handsome level, is also extremely high in terms of comprehensive strength. Chen Ying'er blinked her eyes and said with a smile on Yue.
"It should be about the same." Yue Shen chuckled and nodded in response.
That's it, and it's easy to die quickly......
After seeing the Exorcism Gate City not far away, Yue Shen and his party also tacitly changed into a heavy cloak symbolizing the identity of the demon hunters, making them look as ordinary as the other demon hunters who were entering and exiting the gate of the Demon Exorcism Gate.
It's not a good thing to be too famous, this is what they felt during the period of their mission.
After entering the city in a low-key manner, Yue Shen also asked everyone to return to their respective rooms to rest first, and he went to the temporary task center to deliver the task first.
Lin Xin originally planned to go with him, after all, he was not a combatant, so he was relatively not as tired as others. However, after seeing Chen Ying'er who was following Yue Shen, he was also very interested in not following, and walked towards the direction of the barracks with the rest of the team.
"Boss, after we finish delivering the mission, are we going back to the Holy City to rest?" Chen Ying'er asked in a whisper on the side.
"Hmm." Yue Shen replied lightly, and then noticed that Chen Ying'er seemed to have something on her mind, "What's wrong?" Yue Shen asked with some concern.
"It's nothing, it's just that I want to take a leave of absence and go to my grandma's for a while." Chen Ying'er simply told Yue Shen directly.
Then, as if she was afraid that Yue Shen would be angry, she hurriedly explained: "But don't worry, boss, the matter of cultivation will not fall." ”
