Chapter Seventy-One: Gaining the Upper Hand

"I've only been in the sect for half a month? What does a newcomer do when he takes on this task, is he going to rush to feed the fire rock snake? Our team doesn't want to drag oil bottles, and we're not responsible for collecting corpses for people! The dark-skinned man's face sank and said unceremoniously.

"Senior Brother Yuan, what they said is not unreasonable, the danger of collecting fire jade is not small, and we may not be able to take care of you when we encounter an attack by a fire rock snake. It's better for you to cultivate with peace of mind for a period of time first, improve some strength and then take on the task. The beautiful young woman persuaded, with a hint of disapproval in her eyes.

"Thank you for the reminder from Senior Sister and this Senior Brother, although I am not talented, I still have the power to protect myself, and I will not cause you trouble." Yuan Ming nodded slightly at the beautiful young woman and the dark-skinned man, and said with a smile.

For Agoura, he didn't seem to see it.

The beautiful young woman raised her eyebrows, and the dark-skinned man snorted lowly, but he didn't say anything more.

At this moment, the face of Agoura, who was left out in the cold next to him, had turned into the color of pig liver, and Yue Zhong walked out: "The tone is not small, I want to join our team, let me see your strength!" ”

"Since Senior Brother Agoura wants to give advice, then please help." Yuan Ming said unhurriedly.

"Okay, take my arrow first!" Agoura pinched the trick and pointed out.

A stream of crystal water appeared out of thin air, bent and deformed rapidly, and instantly turned into a strange two-foot-long water bow, and a shiny water arrow was automatically born at the bowstring.

With a sharp roar, the water arrow burst out of the air and went straight to Yuan Ming's chest, far faster than ordinary bows and arrows.

Agoura secretly played tricks, and before he spoke, he secretly cast a spell, and when he finished speaking, the water arrow had already been shot.

"Water archery?"

Yuan Ming was not flustered, his right hand was launched into the void, and a rich green light emerged from his palm.

A thick wooden spike emerged from it, and the last one came first before the water arrow.

These days, Yuan Ming has been cultivating the Dark Moon Technique, and the power of the divine soul has not increased much, but the reaction speed has accelerated a lot.

There was a loud "bang", the water arrow shattered, and most of the wooden thorns were also shattered.

"What!" Agoura's expression froze.

He was the first to cast a spell secretly, and with the speed of the water archery technique, he would be stopped by the wooden thorn technique!

"Is it okay?" Yuan Ming said lightly, the green light in his palm surged, and the broken wooden thorns immediately returned to their original state.

Agoura's face was ugly, and his hands quickly pinched the trick, and the light on the water bow flashed, and a full five water arrows appeared in a flash.

Woohoo!

Five water arrows shot out of the string at the same time, strangling towards Yuan Ming.

"Five arrows in a row! When did Agoura's water archery skills reach this level? The beautiful young woman sighed softly.

The dark-skinned man and the triangular-eyed young man were also a little surprised when they saw this.

It is not difficult to practice water archery, but it is not easy to cast five at the same time, which requires a deep enough mana and strong mana control.

When Yuan Ming saw this scene, his face became a little solemn, but he still calmly cast the spell and pinched the trick.

The ground in front of him flashed with green light, and three thick wooden thorns burst out, each of which was about a foot in diameter, and stood in front of him side by side, instantly obscuring his figure.

Yuan Ming's mana was not enough, so he could only summon three wooden thorns at the same time.

The water arrow hit the wooden thorn and easily pierced through the five big holes, but Yuan Ming behind him was nowhere to be seen.

Agoura was shocked, and at this moment, a sharp wind came from the side, and Yuan Ming's figure appeared out of thin air, and there was already a herring fish sword in his hand, and he cut it off on the head.

The sword turned into a cold light, like a lightning thunderstone.

Agoura's face changed drastically, and his right hand crushed something, and a layer of cyan air appeared on the surface of his body, and he quickly dodged to the side.

However, there was a sudden pain in his feet, but a small wooden thorn came out without warning and pierced the soles of his feet.

For today's mission, Agoura wore a pair of special boots, which were made of the leather of a crocodile beast, which was extremely tough, and the wooden stabbing technique did not pierce the soles of the shoes, but it also made his body shake, and his dodging action paused for a moment.

The cold light of the herring sword swept down, already wrapping one of his arms, and he was about to cut it off.

At this moment, a silver light shot from the side, fast beyond everyone's eyes, and hit the herring sword with a "bell".

Yuan Ming's wrist was numb, the herring sword flew out of his hand, and the person was also shocked back two steps.

The silver light also showed the body, but it was a silver bracelet, which was the one on the wrist of the beautiful young woman.

Swish!

An ethereal figure flashed, and a beautiful young woman appeared between the two.

"Hehe, the five elements spells cast by the two of you are eye-opening, I have to carry out the task later, why don't you end the competition?" The beautiful young woman said with a smile, looking at Yuan Ming's gaze was no longer unusual, obviously recognizing his strength.

"Of course you can, Senior Brother Agoura and I were originally just fighting." Yuan Ming said with a smile, picked up the herring sword on the ground next to him, and put it away.

Agoura didn't say a word, his face a little pale.

"Senior Brother Yuan Ming's strength is extraordinary, joining the mission team, the two of you have no opinion if you want to come, right?" The beautiful young woman looked at the dark-skinned man and the man with triangular eyes.

"Senior Brother Yuan's cultivation is not bad, of course Mu is welcome." The dark-skinned man grinned, changing his previous arrogance.

The triangular-eyed man didn't speak, and nodded.

"In that case, let's get ready to go." The beautiful young woman nodded and said.

"Can you wait a moment for me, there's something in the accommodation, I'll go get it now, and I'll be back soon." Yuan Ming said suddenly.

"It's okay, I just went to the Furnace Hall to buy some things, and Mu Li and they are also going to rent the crane to hurry, so let's disband first, and gather near the mountain gate in a quarter of an hour." The beautiful young woman was stunned for a moment and spoke.

"Lease cranes? Are we going to take the Flying Crane to Tari Volcano? Yuan Ming asked.

"Naturally, Tari Volcano is a hundred miles away from the sect, and you can travel on two legs, when will you go?" The beautiful young woman said.

Yuan Ming's face was embarrassed, he had just entered, his whole body was clean and slippery, and his contribution value was not half of it, and he was unable to rent a spirit beast.

"Senior Brother Yuan, don't worry, you can ride with me later." The beautiful young woman saw Yuan Ming's embarrassment and said.

"Thank you, senior sister." Yuan Ming breathed a sigh of relief and thanked him.

"It's just a small thing." The beautiful young woman shook her head.

Yuan Ming nodded slightly to the others, left quickly, and walked towards the Fire Refining Hall.

He trotted all the way and quickly returned to his lodgings, taking out a gray bag from under the bed.

Here is the white ape, the black toad two fur animal skins, he is performing the sect task for the first time, there is no room for mistakes, bring two fur animal skins, just in case.

Although he is no longer a furry beast slave, except for the herring fish sword and the wooden thorn technique, there are currently no very good means of attacking and self-preservation, and the increase in combat power brought by incarnating as a white ape may play a big role at a critical moment.

Yuan Ming stuffed the burden into his arms, returned the same way, and walked quickly towards the mountain gate.

……

The main hall of the furnace hall.

The layout here is similar to that of the Xingzhi Hall, with a long stone table in front of it, in which four or five disciples of the Furnace Refining Hall are sitting, and then behind it are rows of stone counters, gray and white, tall and tall, and filled with various jade bottles and porcelain jars.

A medicinal fragrance filled the entire hall, and as long as you walked here, you would feel a lot more uplifted.

"I want a bottle of water Zedan." The beautiful young woman walked up to a short and fat young man and said.

"Ten contributions." The short and fat young man glanced at the young woman and said.

The beautiful young woman obviously knew the price of the pill very well, so she directly took out the identity plate and handed it over.

The short and fat young man took out a white jade talisman and tapped it on the young woman's identity plate, and a white light flowed out of the nameplate and submerged into the white jade talisman.

"Wait a minute, I'll go get the medicine." The stocky young man spoke, turning and walking to the counter behind him.

"Senior Sister Lan Ke, it's been a while." A woman in a red dress walked over, but it was Chen Wan.

"Senior Sister Chen Wan, are you also here to buy pills?" When the beautiful young woman saw Chen Wan, she greeted her in surprise.

The young woman was obviously older, but she was respectful in front of Chen Wan, as if she was the younger one.

"Can't I come here to see you?" Chen Wan said with a smile and took the hand of the beautiful young woman.

"Senior sister is promoted to inner disciple, and there are many opportunities, and senior sister doesn't dare to have this extravagant hope." The beautiful young woman pursed her lips and smiled.

"I was ordered by my master to come to the Furnace Hall to do some things." Chen Wan said with a smile.

"Need help? I'm pretty familiar with a few of the deacons in the furnace hall. The beautiful young woman rolled her eyes and said immediately.

She is a subordinate of the Beast Control Hall, she has no identity background, but her heart is quite high, she has been working hard to drill the camp, she is smooth in the world on weekdays, and has made a lot of contacts in the sect.

"No need, it's just a little thing, I heard that Senior Sister Lan Ke is buying Shui Zedan, is she going to do the task of collecting fire jade?" Chen Wan shook her head and asked in a changing tone.

The beautiful young woman was disappointed in her heart, but she didn't show any on her face, stroked the silver bracelet, and said, "Yes, I plan to add another rune to the silver snake chain recently, the contribution value is a little insufficient, and I need to raise some." ”

Speaking of this, Yuan Ming's figure suddenly appeared in her mind.

"Speaking of which, Senior Sister Chen Wan, is there a young disciple from the Central Plains named Yuan Ming from your Fire Refining Hall?" The beautiful young woman asked.

"Yuan Ming? Is there such a person, have you heard of him? Chen Wan nodded stunned.

"I gathered a team to do the task of collecting fire jade, Yuan Ming was among them, this person's strength is good, and after a few rounds of fighting with Agoura, he actually had the upper hand." The beautiful young woman said.

"Really?" A hint of surprise flashed across Chen Wan's face.

Agoura is a senior disciple of the Fire Refining Hall, he is not talented in refining weapons, but his cultivation is not weak, he has reached the sixth level of qi refining, but he did not expect to be defeated by Yuan Ming, who had just joined the sect.

She remembered that when she was in the trial task that day, Yuan Ming was only at the fourth level of qi refining, and he was only a furry beast slave, it had only been a few months, and his cultivation had improved again?

"Could it be that this person is extremely talented, so that Shizun personally took him to the entrance?" Chen Wan said secretly in her heart.
