Ye Xian's eyes were full of suspicion.

She didn't quite believe the words of the king's steward.

If the monster in Yancheng is dead, why hasn't she heard the news before, and the related tasks are still on the list of the Mercenary Alliance.

But the king's steward would never say this for no reason, so what happened in between?

"It's a long story......"

The king's steward stopped talking.

Ye Xian saw that Steward Wang seemed to be scrupling about something, she thought about it and took out a golden dragon-shaped trinket from the storage bracelet and put it on the table.

This golden dragon ornament was given to her by Long Jiu, saying that if she was in trouble, she could give it to the people of the Golden Dragon Chamber of Commerce, and they would try their best to help when they saw it, Ye Xian had never had a chance to take it out before.

Wen Renyan glanced at it and silently withdrew his hand.

When the steward saw the ornament, he stood up and said in surprise: "This, this...... It turns out that the distinguished guest is a friend of Lord Long Jiu, and the villain is disrespectful! ”

After the steward sat down again, he had no previous worries, and told the truth.

"I'll start with the first time monsters appeared......"

There is a salt mine outside Yancheng that has been mined for nearly 1,000 years, and the mined salt stone is white and salty, which is quite popular, and the local residents of Yancheng also make a career out of it.

But fifty years ago, all the holes in the salt mines disappeared overnight, along with the hundreds of people who had been mined in the mines.

Yancheng sent many warriors to investigate, but not only did they not find the disappeared person, but they also made an even more amazing discovery.

The salt mine that the people of Yancheng relied on for their livelihood seemed to have undergone some kind of special evolution, and suddenly became extremely strong overnight, and the fourth-level martial artist could only leave a shallow white mark on the salt mine with a full blow.

The difficulty of the otherwise easy mining job is doubly difficult, and what is even more strange is that no matter what kind of passage is dug in the salt mine the day before, it will be restored the next day.

The passage could not be opened, and the salt stone could not be mined, which had a huge impact on the people of Yancheng, and the city lord of Yancheng couldn't sit still.

In the tenth year of the change in the salt mine, the city lord of Yancheng learned the reason for the change in the salt mine from the mouth of a spirit master with extremely keen mental power, and there was a strange demonic beast hidden in it, and if you want to restore the salt mine, you must first kill this demonic beast.

But even a spirit master who saw the truth couldn't kill that demonic beast, let alone the city lord of Yancheng who couldn't even find a trace of the demonic beast.

So this monster has been active in the salt mine, and after many attempts, the city lord of Yancheng can only reluctantly give up the salt mine and develop a new salt mine elsewhere overnight.

However, the newly mined salt stone, whether in quality or quantity, is far inferior to the old salt mine, so after so many years, the life of Yancheng has stabilized, but the city lord of Yancheng still did not go to the mercenary alliance to revoke the task, he is still thinking about killing the monster in the salt mine and retaking the salt mine.

When Ye Xian heard this, he dragged his chin puzzled and asked, "Then what did you just say that the monster is dead?" ”

Steward Wang's eyes lit up, "Don't hide it, I just received the news yesterday." It is said that a few days ago, a mercenary team arrived at the old salt mine, the monster problem has been solved, and a piece of salt stone has been successfully mined. ”

Although Steward Wang is not a native of Yancheng, he has lived in Yancheng for many years and has developed feelings for this place, and he also feels happy from the bottom of his heart when he hears the news.

Ye Xian was stunned.

It seems that they were stopped outside the city lord's mansion today, not by the order of the city lord, and he himself should still be at the old salt mine at this time.

However, if the problem of the monsters in Yancheng has been solved according to what Steward Wang said, then it doesn't matter if the city lord sees them or not.

But Ye Xian always felt that things would not be so simple.

She continued, "Does the Steward know what the configuration of that mercenary team is?" ”

Although the Golden Dragon Chamber of Commerce did not deliberately operate the news channel, there were not many things on the Lingwu Continent that could hide from them, let alone such a big event.

Steward Wang nodded again and again, "I know, that team is a standard mercenary squad configuration, there are a total of twenty-eight people, and the leader is a middle-aged man, and his strength is also the strongest, the seventh-level Martial King." There were also two young people in the team, a man and a woman, who were about the same age as the two guests, and their strength was about the same as that of a fifth-level martial artist and a sixth-level general. ”

"Only one Martial King?" Wen Renyan raised his eyebrows.

“…… Be. ”

Steward Wang hesitated for a moment, then nodded decisively, and the smile on his face unconsciously dissipated a lot.

When he received the news, he was only happy, but he didn't think about it, could such a team that was not weak, but not strong, really be able to kill the monster hidden in Yancheng?

You must know that the city lord of Yancheng is also a seventh-level martial king, and the mercenaries who took over the task before are also not lacking in the strength of the martial king and the spirit king, and they all returned in the end, and such a young team has achieved results in just a few days, and the results are not convincing.

Steward Wang looked at Wen Renyan in disbelief, "You mean I received fake news?" ”

Wen Renyan shook his head, "I didn't say that, but I do have doubts about this result, so please point us out the location of the salt mine, and we have to go over and see it in person to feel at ease." ”

Ye Xian echoed: "What my friend said is that I haven't seen a salt mine yet, and this time I just went to see it, and I hope that the king will make it convenient." ”

Steward Wang didn't bother too much, not only pointed out the location of the two, but also prepared to find someone to take the two over, but Ye Xian and Wen Renyan politely declined.

After the two of them left the Golden Dragon Chamber of Commerce, they went out of the city and went straight to the old salt mine according to the location pointed out by Steward Wang.

……

Old salt mines.

"City Lord Fang, the reason why we were able to quickly find the traces of this monster is all thanks to our young lady!"

City Lord Fang nodded again and again when he heard the man's words, but he couldn't take his eyes off the behemoth in front of him.

A gray-skinned, twenty-meter-tall coarse fleshworm lay lifeless on the ground, its body covered with a thin layer of salt crystals.

This is the monster that caused the mutation of the rock mine?

City Lord Fang looked at this fat worm, and for some reason there was not much joy in his heart, but there was a faint layer of worry.

The man who spoke just now didn't seem to expect City Lord Fang's reaction, he glanced at his own young lady, and said loudly: "City Lord Fang, this demonic beast is my young lady's trophy, after you finish reading it, my young lady will take it away." ”

No matter how sluggish the city lord Fang was, he could hear what the other party was saying, he looked up at the girl with a rebellious face beside the man, recalled the other party's previous introduction, and showed a polite smile on his face: "Miss Bian already has such good strength at a young age, and she is really a hero out of a young man." ”

Bian Qingyue bowed her head arrogantly, "City Lord Fang has a good reputation, this is the credit of our entire team, I don't dare to take credit." ”

Having said that, she was very complacent in her heart.

This time in the contest with Ye Xian, she won.
