In the early morning, on the large square of the main courtyard, the students lined up in two neat long lines, and the boxes for drawing lots were placed in the front of each column.

In the waiting queue, a fat man was noticed, holding a snowy battle axe in one hand, a solid shield in the other, the runes on the two pieces of equipment were not ordinary goods, and a large package was placed next to him, which exuded the aroma of food, and in the jealous and envious eyes of the people around him, he also smiled and posed in various poses.

Ye Chen looked at this living treasure with black lines on his face, and felt that he was hasty.

"Brother Ye Chen, you also take out the war knife and wipe it, you must make all preparations."

While the fat man attracted much attention, he did not forget to point out loudly to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen finally couldn't help it, and poked the fat man's ass with a scabbard: "Can you stop for a while, what's going on with this big bag of food?" ”

Hearing this, the fat man stopped, but the feeling of unfinished meaning was overflowing: "Brother Ye Chen, as the captain, of course I have to lead by example, this food is enough for us to eat for four or five days, don't praise me, I will be proud." ”

Ye Chen's eyelids jumped when he heard this, and he admired the fat man's parents from the bottom of his heart, it must have cost a lot of money to feed this goods.

"By the way, the lottery will be held by Brother Ye Chen in a while, you must have been very lucky when you killed Han Wanglong recently, am I right, Lin Da Beauty?"

The fat man smiled and expounded his point of view, and did not forget to ask Lin Jing for advice.

At this time, Lin Jing was in a trance, and when she heard the fat man's inquiry, she was a little nervous, and replied softly: "Okay, okay." ”

In the case of two votes, Ye Chen could only reluctantly accept the facts.

It didn't take long for Ye Chen's turn to draw lots, and just as he was about to put his hand into the box, the mentor next to him smiled and said, "I wish you a good task." As he spoke, he patted the other side of the box.

Ye Chen didn't care, just smiled and nodded in response, grabbed a scroll from the box and took it out, spreading it out at the urging of the fat man.

Mission: Destroy the monster to get the mission voucher, you need to get at least two.

It's a short note, but the fat man on the side looks at it with a discolored face, because the map under the annotation is full of red circles, which are all markers of danger areas, and the markers of the mission pass happen to be in these circles.

Ye Chen took the task scroll and looked at the mentor with a frown: "Isn't this task a little too difficult?" ”

"This is a little higher, it's clearly the wrong box, it's almost the same for those intermediate students to complete, I ask for a new lottery."

Without waiting for the tutor to speak, the fat man hurriedly shouted loudly.

The tutor still smiled and said unhurriedly: "No, we have all strictly checked how to make mistakes, you better hurry up and teleport with me, don't delay the time of the students behind." ”

This kind of answer made Ye Chen suspicious, and he thought about it secretly, but the fat man was not so calm, and shouted directly: "What are you kidding, you can teleport in by yourself, if you don't let us change the task, I will give up the trial, and it is a big deal to deduct credits for you." ”

Only Lin Jing was still in that trance, not knowing what she was thinking.

The shouts quickly attracted a lot of attention and caused quite a commotion.

On the high platform of the square, all the big people were chatting, but they all noticed the commotion in the field, and when Luo Lao found that Ye Chen and Lin Jing were in the center of the commotion, he hurriedly said: "What's the quarrel over there, should we deal with it." ”

Qin Wu didn't care about it originally, but when he heard Luo Lao's words, he also frowned, Han Zhen noticed this, first glanced at Luo Lao, and then smiled and said, "Let Lord Qin see and laugh, I'll deal with it immediately." ”

Qin Wu didn't speak, just nodded slightly.

Soon, the instructor in charge came to the high platform and narrated the situation, focusing on the attitude of Ye Chen and other students.

After listening to the report, Luo Lao glanced at Han Zhen suspiciously, and took the lead in speaking: "The difficulty of the task is indeed a little higher, why don't you draw it again, this team has two good seedlings from the Beast Control Branch, it would be a pity if something happened." ”

Han Zhen seemed to have been prepared, and immediately retorted, "The tasks are all strictly inspected, and there will be no mistakes, since they are all good seedlings, they should be even more demanding." ”

The more Luo Lao listened, the more wrong he became, but just as he was about to speak, he was preempted by Han Zhen: "Lord Qin, you think this is good, let's increase the reward of this task a little more and mobilize the enthusiasm of those students, but this attitude of giving up when encountering difficulties cannot be promoted." ”

A person like Qin Wu would not bother with such a trivial matter: "Then do it, if anyone proposes to give up, they will be expelled directly, and the empire will not cultivate waste." ”

Seeing that this matter was a foregone conclusion, Luo Lao had to smile bitterly, but Han Zhen was full of smiles, and a cold light appeared in his eyes.

When the results of the handling were announced, the riot stopped, and Ye Chen and the fat man could only accept the reality, and were led by the mentor to the teleportation pavilion.

The teleportation pavilion is a three-story building with a small footprint, Ye Chen and his party entered the first floor, and the empty room was only the teleportation array on the ground, which was a stone slab of special material, with complex rune arrays outlined on it, and six crystals inlaid at the edges.

The mentor handed over the task scroll to the staff, and then explained to Ye Chen: "You can only teleport three people at a time, and the soul beast also occupies the quota, after completing the task, use the task voucher to trigger the teleportation back, if you don't complete the task, you have to wait for fifteen days after the teleportation array will be automatically opened, and if you need to rescue in case of an accident, use this to send a signal." ”

In the end, the mentor handed an ornament to Ye Chen, but before Ye Chen could take it, he was snatched away by the fat man with a sad face, and kept it in the name of the captain.

Soon, the crystal on the teleportation array lit up, and Ye Chen's team teleported away twice, until they were all teleported away, and the mentor left with a smile, and the staff on the side secretly praised this person for being really responsible.

In an open field, Ye Chen's team sat on the ground to rest and relieve the discomfort caused by teleportation, and behind them was the departing teleportation array.

Lin Jing leaned on the soul beast, his expression was complicated, and he didn't know what he was thinking, while the fat man drooped his head and sighed with a bitter face, this made Ye Chen's head look big, how to complete the task with this appearance.

After thinking for a while, Ye Chen picked up the war knife beside him and said to the fat man: "Don't sigh, fat man, tell me what are the benefits of this battle knife, and your battle axe and shield will also talk about it, Lin Jing will also introduce your soul beast, or how to cooperate in a fight." ”

Under Ye Chen's intentional mobilization, the fat man gradually became energetic, and the war knife he gave to Ye Chen was blessed with the fire magic "Flame Burst", the battle axe was the wind "tear", and the shield was the earth "tenacity", but the level was not high.

Subsequently, Lin Jing also introduced her soul beast "Thorn Demon Tree", which has two and external skills, "vine entanglement" is a very simple control skill, and "throwing seeds" is a bit interesting, this kind of seed can parasitize into biological wounds to absorb blood growth, but the effect is a little slower.

As for Ye Chen, he took the iron egg out of the wrap around his waist, and explained the situation in an embarrassing and humorous way.

After some conversation, the fat man and Lin Jing were in much better condition, and then set off for the nearest marking point.

According to the map, this place of trial is composed of several landforms, Ye Chen's team first entered the nearest dense forest, and after a period of searching, they came to a marked point, which was a large earth cave that sloped downward, and the sound of beasts humming came from it.

The fat man stared at the soil cave with a very nervous expression: "This captain thinks that he can let the Thorn Demon Tree lure out the guys inside, and if he feels that he can't beat it, he will run away immediately." ”

But Lin Jing frowned after hearing this, with a reluctant face, and just as he was about to open his mouth to refute, he heard Ye Chen say: "Fatty, what do you think, can you still come out if you go in with the speed of the demon tree, can you still have a face as a warrior." ”

Ye Chen really wanted to kick this fat man a few times, but this guts was too small.

Hearing this, Lin Jing looked at Ye Chen gratefully, and the fat man was anxious when he heard it, and his head shook like a rattle: "That's not good, the soul beast can still contract again after it dies, if there is any ...... this young master!" ”

Before the fat man finished speaking, Ye Chen looked at him with a dark face, and at the same time pulled out his war knife to deter: "Fat man, I know that you are unreliable, but it doesn't matter, if you don't go up, I will help you lose weight, you know how Han Wanglong didn't." ”

The fat man remembered the scene he saw that day, and suddenly felt dry, swallowed his saliva hard, and said with a smile: "Brother Ye Chen, if you have something to say, you put down the knife first, can't I go, but you can't stay too far away from me." ”

Seeing the fat man compromise, Ye Chen and Lin Jing looked at each other and smiled.

The fat man cautiously approached the entrance of the cave, but as soon as he reached the edge of the hole, he hesitated, and looked back frequently, and under the encouragement of Ye Chen's fierce eyes, he gritted his teeth and rushed in, but he shouted loudly just a few steps into the hole, and then immediately urged the battle qi, and ran out quickly with the cyan light on his feet, and rushed past the minister in an instant.

Before Ye Chen and Lin Jing could react, the ground under their feet began to shake.

Then, a big wild boar rushed out of the hole and crashed into the two, Ye Chen saw that the situation was not good, kicked the thorn demon tree, and hurriedly pulled Lin Jing to dodge away, the big wild boar hurriedly turned around as soon as he hit it, stared at them with pig eyes, tense and ready to attack, Ye Chen also drew his war knife to confront him.

This wild boar has a huge body, three earthy yellow stripes on its back, two thick and strong fangs, and a rich earth element wrapped around it, it is a third-order thick earth demon pig.

Ye Chen looked at it and sweated, this thing has rough skin and thick flesh and strong strength, and if you don't get it right, it will be torn apart by fangs.

The thick earth demon pig didn't give the two of them much time, the two fangs shone brightly, and the earth element surged out, instantly condensing into two stone cones and shooting out, Ye Chen stared ahead, waved the war knife in his hand and split one, and pulled Lin Jing to help him dodge the other, and then jumped out and rushed towards the demon pig.

Lin Jing has a weak physique and poor mobility, which is a common problem of most beast masters, Ye Chen can only be busy dealing with dodging attacks when standing with her, it is better to attract the attention of the demon pig to himself, and he is more flexible alone.

Ye Chen began to condense the soul needle while running, and after closing the distance, he cast the soul suppression thorn, and then jumped up and swung the knife to slash, the long knife slashed at the pig's head with dull eyes, and the moment the knife body was touched, the fire of the knife body flashed and a slight explosion sound, after a few breaths, the demon pig howled and shook the pig's head, and the wound on his forehead was full of burnt flesh.

Ye Chen succeeded in a blow, and hurriedly swung the knife again to chase after the victory, at this moment, the eyes of the demon pig became red very fast, and the fangs were forcefully picked at Ye Chen's lower abdomen, and at the last moment, the long knife blocked in front of the fangs, and Ye Chen flew out with a muffled snort.

The thick earth demon pig roared again and again, and frantically rushed towards Ye Chen, who fell, but just a few steps away, the vines growing on the ground entangled the pig's legs, and the green vines were full of toughness, even if the demon pig was strong, it was difficult to break free for a while.

Ye Chen stood up with a knife, rubbing his aching stomach with his hands, a trace of blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth, and in the field of view, the demon pig had been bound by vines, and the thorn demon tree beside Lin Jing was shaking the canopy, sprinkling dense seeds, and slowly floating towards the demon pig.

In the madness, the demon pig struggled more and more fiercely, and after a few crisp sounds, he broke free from the shackles and turned his head and rushed towards Lin Jing.

Looking at the big guy rushing in, Lin Jing was so frightened that he forgot to run away, at this moment of life and death, the thorn demon tree took a few steps forward and stretched out its hand to block the fangs, and with a loud "bang", the demon tree was knocked back again and again, and the demon pig also took a few steps back.

At this time, Ye Chen was still in pain all over his body and had difficulty moving, so he hurriedly yelled when he saw that his behavior was not good.

"Fatty, if you don't come to help, I'll cut you into thin people."
