Chapter 458

The rest of the tasks, Xiao Zhan looked at it.

As long as the first or two layers of the Starlight Realm can complete the task, the reward is pitiful, basically only one or two grains of Star Sand.

Xiao Zhan looked directly at the tasks that could be completed by the sixth layer of the Starlight Realm.

Xiao Zhan is now at the seventh layer of the Starlight Realm, and there is still a little leeway to complete these tasks.

There are three such quests, and each quest has the same reward, which is a hundred grains of star sand.

In other words, Xiao Zhan would probably have to complete a hundred of such tasks before he could get a Star Stone.

But it's also the safest way to do it.

The first task was to go to a lake 90,000 miles away from Songcheng and kill a fierce beast inside, and the strength of that fierce beast was about the same as the sixth layer of the Starlight Realm.

The second task, which is even farther away, is to deal with a group of bandits entrenched there, the big boss of the bandits, and in the records is the strength of the sixth layer of the Starlight Realm.

The third mission is to find a woman named Blue Moon Spirit. Z.br>

This woman is the daughter of a master of the Starlight Realm, and this task was also entrusted by the master of the Starlight Realm.

Xiao Zhan glanced at the locations of the three missions and decided to set off immediately to carry out the first mission.

On the task list, the road map paper is also marked.

Xiao Zhan followed the route and hurried as fast as he could, and only two days later, he arrived at Forget Worry Lake.

Forget the lake, which has existed for an unknown number of years, was once a famous location, where young men and women often go to the lake together.

Since three months ago, a fierce beast suddenly appeared in the Lake of Forgotten Worries, swallowing hundreds of people in a row.

The local people reported the news to the City Lord's Mansion.

The City Lord's Mansion sent someone to take a look, and after confirming that the strength of the fierce beast was the sixth layer of the Starlight Realm, he decided to release this task.

Because the City Lord's Mansion really can't spare manpower to deal with this fierce beast.

After all, now all the places in the entire Tianlan world are busy searching for and purging outsiders from other worlds.

There is no boundary in sight of the lake.

The surface of the lake is filled with a layer of water vapor, and under the scorching sun, the lake reflects a dazzling light.

There are many stone paths by the lake, and they are also full of flowers and plants, which shows the prosperity and liveliness of the past.

But now it is very deserted.

At least Xiao Zhan has been here for half an hour, and he hasn't seen anyone yet.

There are a large number of small boats docked on the shore.

Xiao Zhan jumped onto one of the small boats, and with a gentle push of his palm against the surface of the lake, the boat slowly sailed towards the center of the lake.

The water vapor evaporates and collects on the surface of the lake, making it unusually humid and muggy.

A layer of fine beads of sweat also appeared on Xiao Zhan's body.

Xiao Zhan's gaze was always fixed on the lake.

For a whole day, Xiao Zhan drove a small boat and searched the lake, but did not find any trace of the beast.

But Xiao Zhan met some people who also came to carry out the mission.

Among these people, the strongest one has reached the ninth layer of the Starlight Realm, and the weakest one also has the sixth layer of the Starlight Realm.

It can be seen that the people who come to perform this task are very cautious.

Around the lake, there used to be many tea houses, restaurants, inns and other shops, but now, these shops have closed.

Xiao Zhan spent a short night directly on the boat.

The night in Tianlan World is very short.

Xiao Zhan sat cross-legged on the boat, and soon after breathing, the sky lit up with dawn.

Xiao Zhan drove the boat again and headed towards the center of the lake.

This time, Xiao Zhan slowed down.

But after searching for a long time, I still found nothing.

If it weren't for the fact that there were other people searching for the fierce beast on the lake, Xiao Zhan would even wonder if the fierce beast in the lake had been hunted and killed.

I don't know how long it took, one by one

The boats began to surround them.

Someone waved at Xiao Zhan and motioned for Xiao Zhan to go over with him.

Xiao Zhan thought for a moment, and then controlled the boat to sail towards that side.

There were more than two dozen small boats, most of which were alone.

An older man frowned and said in a deep voice:

"The day before yesterday, we had been searching in the lake for a day, yesterday for another day, and today for half a day."

"If this continues, if the beast doesn't show up, we'll just waste our time."

"If you want me to see, we have to find a way to let the beast show up on its own initiative, and then we will each rely on our abilities, and whoever kills the beast will be rewarded."

Everyone nodded.

It was suggested that:

"I heard that when the beast first appeared, it frantically pursued the people who were boating on the lake."

"It's murderous, to be sure."

"I guess the beast sensed our breath and didn't dare to show up because he was afraid."

Someone nodded, "I think that's the case, too."

Xiao Zhan listened to these people's discussions and didn't express any opinions, after all, Xiao Zhan didn't even know what the fierce beast in the lake was.

The older man shook his head:

"According to my experience, the intelligence of a fierce beast whose strength can reach the sixth layer of the Starlight Realm is not very high."

"So, I don't dare to show my face because I'm afraid, which doesn't make sense."

"But I can't rule it out."

"Otherwise," suggested the older man,

"Let's go find a few weaker people and let them be bait to lure the beast to appear."

"That's a good idea!" Someone agreed on the spot.

Xiao Zhan frowned.

Let the people with poor strength be bait, even if they can successfully lure the fierce beast to appear, but those few people who are bait are afraid that it will be difficult to survive.

The older man seemed to see what Xiao Zhan was thinking, but he didn't explain anything, but said to others:

"Let's split up now, and everyone will find someone below the third layer of the Starlight Realm."

Everyone nodded their heads and controlled the boat in different directions.

On the lake, only Xiao Zhan and the slightly older man remained.

A smile appeared on the man's face, "This brother, if you have a burden in your heart, you don't have to look for someone, just wait here."

Xiao Zhan said in a deep voice:

"Can you keep the weak people safe by using them as bait?"

The man glanced at Xiao Zhan deeply:

"If you can protect it, you can protect it, and if you can't protect it, you can't protect it."

"Don't you understand the principle of the law of the jungle, brother?"

"If you dare to come here, it should be at least the sixth layer of the Starlight Realm, but don't tell me that you haven't killed anyone or used others."

"Which of us who came to grab the task didn't lick the blood from the knife?"

"We are not like those people in the City Lord's Mansion, who receive the Star Sand distributed by the City Lord's Mansion."

"If we are still some kind and honest people, how can we survive in this world?"

The man seemed to have some disdain for Xiao Zhan, and continued:

"If we don't use others today, we won't be able to get more resources, we won't be able to become strong, and we will be used by others!"

"This is a bloody lesson for countless people!"

"Isn't it reasonable for me to take advantage of others instead of letting people use me?"

Xiao Zhan didn't speak, but controlled the boat and was about to leave.

There is a saying that different things don't conspire with each other.

Xiao Zhan didn't like this group of people.

Even if he gave up this mission, Xiao Zhan was unwilling to join forces with them.

Xiao Zhan didn't mean to despise this person.

I didn't underestimate this man

meaning.

It's just that Xiao Zhan feels that it is too dangerous to cooperate with this kind of person.

Because anyone can be the object of their exploitation.

Xiao Zhancai didn't believe what he just said, everyone has their own ability, whoever can kill that fierce beast will get that reward.

Xiao Zhan never felt that he was a decent gentleman.

He only pays attention to a clear conscience in doing things, and he kills the person he thinks he wants to kill.

If he thinks he shouldn't be killed, he won't kill.

For example, now, if there is a chance to kill that fierce beast in exchange for a reward, Xiao Zhan will definitely participate in the competition.

When the boat docked, Xiao Zhan jumped and stood directly on the shore.

Just as he was about to leave, Xiao Zhan saw a man hurrying over with a woman with a cloak.

This man was one of the people who had been searching for the beast on the river just now.

It's just that Xiao Zhan didn't expect that he would find a person to act as a decoy so quickly.

Xiao Zhan's gaze subconsciously looked at the woman.

Although her hair is disheveled, and the light blue skirt on her body is dirty, it is still difficult to hide her slender figure, only half of her small face is exposed, although it is also dirty, but she can still see her delicate facial features.

Seeing Xiao Zhan, the man laughed:

"Brother, you haven't found anyone yet?"

Xiao Zhan didn't speak, and turned around and left directly.

The man frowned, didn't say anything, pushed the woman into the boat, and took control of the boat towards the center of the lake.

At this time, Xiao Zhan was already ten miles away.

But he suddenly stopped, stood in the reeds taller than a man, and fell into deep thought.

The next moment, Xiao Zhan turned around and approached the lake as fast as he could.

Then Xiao Zhan jumped into a small boat and controlled the boat to sail towards the center of the lake.

There were only five people who came to Tianlan World: Xiao Zhan, Mo Chen, Zhuang Mochou, Shen Luoyan and Long Wan'er.

Now Zhuang Mochou has sacrificed.

Xiao Zhan knew very well in his heart that with only four of them, no matter what he did, it would be difficult.

But if you have someone available, it will be a lot easier.

Therefore, Xiao Zhan plans to see if there is a chance to save a few people and let the other party do something for him, which is also a win-win situation.

When Xiao Zhan arrived at the center of the lake.

All the people who left just now have returned.

Only six of them caught the person acting as bait.

Everyone else went home empty-handed.

The strength of these six decoys is not very strong, and the most powerful one is only the third layer of the Starlight Realm.

As for the woman in the blue dress that Xiao Zhan saw at the beginning, she was only on the second floor of the Starlight Realm.

Seeing Xiao Zhan come back.

The older man smiled.

He was the most powerful person present, the ninth layer of the Starlight Realm.

His name is Peng Quan, and those who know him know that he used to be a squadron leader under the command of the City Lord's Mansion, and there used to be a hundred and ten people under him.

But later, I didn't know what happened, he was removed from the City Lord's Mansion, and he could only be reduced to earning Xingchensha by taking on tasks.

Peng Quan looked at everyone and said with a smile:

"Six people, that's enough."

"Next, let's go to the shore and leave these six on the lake."

"As soon as the beast appeared, we immediately gathered around it and worked together to drag it down and prevent it from burrowing back into the lake."

A man who, like Xiao Zhan, was on the seventh layer of the Starlight Realm, suddenly hugged his fist at Peng Quan and said:

"Brother Peng Quan, there is a saying, I don't know whether to say it or not."

Peng Quan smiled and nodded, "But it doesn't hurt to say it."

The man took a deep breath:

"Brother Peng Quan also said earlier, let's join forces, and then each with their own ability, whoever can kill that fierce beast will be rewarded for whoever."

"But we all know in our hearts,

With Brother Peng here, it must be you who kills the beast."

"I have no illusions about the reward, I just hope that after the deed is completed, Brother Peng will be able to give us a piece of the pie."

Peng Quan smiled and looked at the others again.

The others clenched their fists, "Brother Peng, we all mean this."

Peng Quan said "um", "Since you think so highly of me, I won't be stingy."

"This task has a total of 100 grains of astral sand, and after the work is completed, each of you can get two grains of astral sand, and you will not be left to work in vain."

Hearing this, the hearts of the people present were a little unhappy.

Two grains of star sand are simply calling Hanako.

But they dare not speak out.

If they provoke Peng Quan, not only will they not be able to get a grain of star sand, but they may also have to lose their lives here.

"That's settled," Peng Quan nodded, taking the first step to control the boat towards the shore.

The others also dispersed.

A moment later, all that was left on the lake was a small boat and the six men who were acting as bait.

They are all aware of what they are going through, and they are all constantly struggling.

But the power in their bodies was all sealed, and their hands and feet were also tied, and the more they struggled, the greater the movement they emitted.

Only the woman in the blue dress, although there was some fear in her eyes, did not struggle violently.

She slowly closed her eyes, as if she had resigned herself to her fate.
