Chapter 260: Shadow Demon (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
After the five of them left the square, they went straight to the City Lord's Mansion.
All the governing bodies of the True City are in the Lord's Palace.
This time they're going to rent a house.
After all, when you leave the newcomer area, you will no longer have a place to live with survival points a year.
After arriving at the Castle Lord's Mansion, the staff pointed to the rental information hanging on the wall.
"It's up to you to choose where you want to live."
The five of Ye Cheng looked at it carefully.
The houses in this real city are divided into five main levels.
The highest level is the cave house, and it costs 1,000 survival points a year.
The lowest level of the courtyard is twenty survival points a year.
The price difference is fifty times.
Ye Cheng directly chose the lowest courtyard.
Ten survival points a year is equivalent to four survival points per person per year, which is four times more expensive than in the newcomer area.
Don't look at it too much, in fact, the pressure of survival has increased greatly.
Simple mining can really only meet the most basic survival needs, and if you want to improve your life strength or something, don't even think about it.
"Choose this courtyard first, and then improve it when there are conditions in the future."
Ye Cheng said.
The five Hongchen people have no opinion.
After leaving the City Lord's Mansion, the five of them came to the rented place.
The location is very remote too.
It's all the kind of old courtyards that you can see at a glance, densely distributed.
But it's not bad, at least the environment is good, and the greening rate is quite high.
There was no noise either, and it was very quiet.
Slightly better than the house in the newcomer area.
The layout of the courtyard is also one hall and five rooms, plus a courtyard.
After choosing a room for each, Ye Cheng said, "You guys tell me how much longevity they have, in this case, I can arrange it." ”
Now that you've passed the rookie test mission, it's time to think about real survival.
"Captain, I still have more than two hundred and forty years left."
Hongchen True God said.
"I'm more than 180 years old."
"I've been for more than one hundred and forty years."
"The way I have been for 300 years."
Obviously, the longevity of a few true gods is not much.
"Well, then let's continue mining first, and then we'll try to do the hunting mission after all of you enter the Leaf Realm."
Ye Cheng nodded and said.
.....
Time flies, and decades have passed in the blink of an eye.
Also mined for decades.
Everyone also entered the Leaf Realm one after another.
Not to mention Ye Cheng, he had already entered the Seven Leaves Realm, and the True Seed was close to nine feet.
For him, mining is actually the best way to practice self-harm.
It's just that survival points are coming too slowly.
At this moment, the four Hongchen have taken on a new look, and they are all equipped with armor and weapons.
Although the most ordinary.
But he also spent almost all his savings.
There is no way, if you want to participate in a hunting mission, you naturally have to be well prepared.
The five of them came to the mission hall.
This mission hall is the liveliest place in the real city.
After all, if you want to participate in the hunting mission, you have to pass through the mission hall.
Just as the five of them were about to enter the mission hall, suddenly, the crowd split, and then many True God teams became commotionous.
"Chang Mingjun is out."
"I really don't know how strong Chang Mingjun is."
"I heard that I have broken through to the realm of fruits."
"Isn't that qualified to go on the path of truth?"
"The real road is too dangerous, I estimate that Chang Mingjun should stay up for a while."
"Hey, I'm only in the realm of three leaves, it's so difficult to cultivate here."
"Yes, I really don't know how Chang Mingjun cultivated?"
"Hmph, you don't want to think about it, Chang Mingjun has a high completion rate of their hunting tasks, they are all spelled out."
....
In the midst of many people's discussions, five figures walked out of the mission hall.
The first person is handsome, with silver hair and a strange silver armor, giving people a sense of extreme coldness and extremely powerful momentum.
And the four people who followed him were all extremely extraordinary.
These five people are obviously of the same race, very similar to the human race, that is, there are some differences in hair color, child holes, and skin.
Feeling the invisible aura emanating from these five people, Ye Cheng couldn't help but hold his breath.
Because the breath is too strong.
Even if these five people didn't exude it on purpose, this kind of thing is obviously caused by the fact that they have not dissipated after a fierce battle.
"Fruit Realm?"
Ye Cheng muttered to himself.
Like the other four, they must all be from the realm of high-level flowers.
Each one is much stronger than him.
In fact, in the past few decades, Ye Cheng has been able to feel the level of strength in this real city, most of which are in the Ye Realm, and they all stay below the six leaves.
With his cultivation in the Seven Leaves Realm, he is no longer too weak in the True City.
After all, it had only been more than a hundred years since he entered the True City.
The realm of flowers is relatively rare.
He didn't meet a few either.
Not to mention the realm of fruits, this is the real elder existence in the real city.
Soon, the team where Chang Mingjun was located quickly walked away, leaving a lot of discussions.
"Captain, I remember that this Chang Mingjun's team is on the rookie test rankings, it seems to be ninety-fourth."
The true god of Chimeng said suddenly.
"With the talent and strength of the captain, the future will definitely not be worse than this Chang Mingjun."
Hongchen True God said.
In a sense, it was the four of them who dragged down the captain.
"That's for sure."
The true god of Chimeng said.
Ye Cheng was pondering, thinking about the situation of the real road, which was a way to leave the real city and enter the real world.
It's tough, though.
In fact, so far, he has doubts about the relationship between the so-called real city, the real alliance, and the real world.
At least in his rookie test mission last time, those people in the real world, although many of them have good strength, are only relative.
If he participates in that rookie test mission now, he can penetrate the entire Yulin Town alone.
It also means that people in the real world are not necessarily strong.
Even if there are powerful beings, most of them are very ordinary.
But why is the true god detached and setting such high conditions?
He always felt that there must be a secret in it.
However, this is still a little early for him to say.
At his current cultivation speed, if he wants to enter the realm of fruits, I am afraid that it will be impossible to do it without more than a thousand years.
In fact, in the real city, a thousand years is not too long.
The five of them walked into the mission hall.
On the huge wall, a lot of hunting information is refreshing.
It's easy to pick the right one, and you're good to go.
However, there are requirements for hunting tasks, and if you can't complete them after that, although you won't deduct survival points, it will affect the next hunting mission and rewards.
Therefore, to ensure the success rate of the hunting mission, you can better take the next hunting task, otherwise the impact will be very large.
These tasks are divided into five levels of difficulty.
The most difficult task is the first-class mission, and the lowest is the fifth-class mission.
If you want to take on a higher mission, you must have a certain amount of hunting experience and success rate.
If you have just taken on a hunting mission, you can only start with the lowest level 5 mission.
Soon, Ye Cheng chose a fifth-class hunting mission.
In Yulin Town, there is a shadow demon lurking, please find the shadow demon within five days and hunt it down.
"Captain, it's really a coincidence, wasn't our last rookie test mission in this Yulin Town?"
Hongchen said in surprise.
"Well, that's why I chose this."
Ye Cheng nodded and said.
"Everyone should know the information about the Shadow Demon."
Ye Cheng said.
"Captain, the most basic low-level monster, we have all known about it, but we haven't seen it with our own eyes."
Chimeng laughed.
There is a special place to buy these materials in the real city.
After all, if you want to participate in a hunting mission, how can you not know the goal of hunting in advance.
Mainly based on monsters.
It is said that there are even more powerful evil things.
However, it is difficult to reach for the time being.
"The shadow demon, mainly can hide in the shadow of other life, like a shadow, slowly absorb the vitality through the shadow, and eventually the person who is absorbed the vitality will slowly dry up and die, and then the shadow demon will look for a new target, so where the shadow demon appears, there will always be an inexplicable death, which is not obvious at first, but as the number of deaths gradually increases, it will cause panic."
The Red Dust True God went on to talk about the characteristics of the Shadow Demon.
"Well, this shadow demon is not difficult to deal with, the main thing is that it is very cautious, once it is alarmed and escapes, it will be difficult to lock it again."
Ye Cheng nodded and said.
It's not a difficult task.
At least for Ye Cheng's team.
After all, he owns the Seven Leaves Realm.
The general fifth-level quest is the lowest hunting quest, and the monsters that need to be hunted are all low-level, and there are few accidents.
After taking the task, the five of them entered the teleportation house.
......
The real world.
Changguk.
Outside the town of Yulin.
The five people of Ye Cheng appeared here.
When they swaggered into Yulin Town, the locals, although they were a little wary, did not besiege them as they had been decades ago.
"We only have five days, which means that we can only stay in the real world for five days, which should be the maximum time for a pre-citizen to stay."
Ye Cheng said, "Next, we will split up and look for traces of the Shadow Demon. Remember, once you find the Shadow Demon, don't just alarm it, wait for the others to come, and if the Shadow Demon is disturbed, send a message as soon as possible. ”
After agreeing on the plan, the five of them separated.
Yulin Town is not big, it is not small, there are thousands of people, and it is difficult to find the hidden shadow demon among so many people.
After all, this Shadow Demon doesn't have any good ways to investigate.
It can only be judged by the breath of the parasitic person's body.
At this moment, suddenly an official messenger came over and saluted Ye Cheng, "May I ask if Your Excellency is the hunter who came to exorcise demons?" ”
"How do you know?"
Ye Cheng was surprised.
"Yesterday we received a notice that hunters came to exterminate demons, so I see that Your Excellency is very angry, and in our Yulin Town, there are very few outsiders to come."
The official immediately said, "Please come with me, we have been waiting for Your Excellency for a long time." ”
Ye Cheng nodded, and then followed this catcher to the town guard mansion.
The head catcher in Yulin Town is basically the strongest person in the local area, and he is responsible for public security.
In the last rookie test mission, the five people of Yecheng were besieged by the head catcher of Yulin Town with many officials and almost trapped.
It can be seen that this small town still has strength.
When he arrived at the Yamen of the Town Guard's Mansion, Xu Ming, the head catcher, was already waiting outside, and said, "I don't know what Your Excellency is called?" I'm Xu Ming, the head catcher in Yulin Town. ”
"Ye Cheng."
Ye Cheng said.
"It turned out to be Mr. Ye."
Xu Ming, the head catcher, was very enthusiastic, and took Ye Cheng to the yamen.
After sitting in the lobby, Xu Ming sighed and said: "Don't hide it from Mr. Ye, this town is now panicked, and the shadow demon is hidden among the residents, although I have checked many times and found no traces, but people die every day....."
"Xu Zhutou, how are you sure it's the Shadow Demon?"
Ye Cheng asked.
"Judging from the situation of the deceased, these deceased will suddenly be sucked dry of their vitality overnight and become a dried corpse..."
Xu Ming, the head catcher, briefly explained the general situation.
Ye Cheng knew that this was indeed a sign caused by the Shadow Demon.
Generally, after the shadow demon possesses the shadow, it will only absorb it slowly at first, and when it is time to sleep at night, it will kill the person.
"Xu Zhutou, please gather everyone in the town."
Ye Cheng pondered for a moment and immediately said.
He felt that the efficiency of covert investigations was too slow.
This mission is only five days long.
When the time comes, they must return to the real city, or they will be wanted.
"Mr. Ye, do you want to gather everyone and investigate them one by one? This... I'm afraid it's also difficult, the characteristics of the Shadow Demon are difficult to detect in normal times. ”
Xu Ming, the head catcher, said.
"I've got my own measure."
Ye Cheng said.
Seeing Ye Cheng's calm expression, Xu Ming's heart moved, could it be that the other party had a special way to find the shadow demon?
Thinking of this, he immediately said, "Then I'll report to Lord Townsman first." ”
"Okay."
Ye Cheng nodded.
Soon, the head-catcher Xu Ming left.
A few minutes later, Xu Ming, the head catcher, came back and said, "Lord Town Guard agreed. ”
So, the two left the town guard mansion, and the officials of the town guard mansion also went out one after another, and began to call the townspeople out door to door and gather in the town square.
on the town square.
The four Hongchen True Gods also gathered one after another.
"Captain, you're going to gather everyone and find out the existence of the Shadow Demon?"
Hongchen True God asked curiously.
"Well, this is the most straightforward way, if you investigate slowly, the efficiency is too low, and it is easy to be negligent."
Ye Cheng nodded and said.
More than an hour later, thousands of townspeople had gathered in the square, and it was very noisy and black.
"Mr. Ye, the people in the town have basically gathered here."
Xu Ming, the head catcher, said.
"Basically? That is, there are still people who have not come? ”
Ye Cheng asked.
"Yes, either you're bedridden or you're immobile."
Xu Ming, the head catcher, said.
"Why didn't I see the Keeper?"
Ye Cheng asked.
"The town guard has been in retreat."
Xu Ming, the head catcher, hesitated for a while before telling the truth.
"Carry all the people who didn't come, don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case."
Ye Cheng said.
As for the fact that the town guard of Yulin Town did not come, it was not a big problem.
Generally speaking, those who can serve as town guards must not be weak.
If the shadow demon wants to possess the shadow of the master, it will cause alarm.
Therefore, the Shadow Demon will choose a life that is not too strong.
"Hmm."
Xu Ming, the head catcher, immediately recruited a subordinate to come over to handle this matter.
In this way, after another half an hour of waiting, everyone in the town finally arrived.
