Chapter 128: The Hanging Corpse at the City Gate (6000 words)

The giant thick python and the giant and thin python are diametrically opposed, after this kind of spirit reaches the realm of clay sculpture, the body length is two meters five, the snake body is as thick as a bucket, and it is extremely bloated.

Miraculously, its reaction is not slow, whether it is a flutter bite or a tail flick, it is like a flexible fat man, fierce and fierce.

"Babble~~~"

"Babble~~~Babble~~~"

Guagua is playing crazy.

Since the "machine gun" smashed the teeth of the python and aroused the python's ferocity, it jumped up and down and began to play acrobatics.

It's an ordinary "floating bubble", but when it arrives, it's like a spaceship, carrying it up and down.

In the end, the panting giant thick python drank a stomach of water, felt that his strength was invincible, and wanted to escape.

"Babble?"

Seeing that the big maggot didn't play with him, Guagua stopped for the time being.

It still doesn't understand the meaning of "hunting", "killing" or anything like that, tilts its head and tries to observe.

"Flower candle, come on."

For food, for profit, life and death, this is nature's way of survival.

But for the Pure Spirit, there may be a different understanding, going with the flow is the king, and the Night Hanjun is not in a hurry to change the cognition of this part of Guagua.

"Whew-"

Flashing slightly, it crosses dozens of meters in a snap of your fingers.

With just one move of "Hurricane Scissors", the flower candle split the head and body of the giant thick python, and the black snake's blood splattered all over the ground.

The curious Guagua, immediately approached the head of the python.

But a creature like a snake, even if its head is separated, will not lose its vitality all at once.

It opened its bloody mouth and swallowed the pure white tadpole in one gulp.

After a while, Guaga came out of its broken neck, without a trace of dirty blood on its body, it was still translucent white, clean as a piece of white jade porcelain.

"Babble......

The only trace of surprise disappeared from the eyes that had risen from the size of a grain of rice to the size of a mung bean.

Then, Guagua loses interest in the python and returns to the kettle on his own, purring bubbles and playing.

Yehanjun let it play, and he began to dispose of the corpse of the giant thick python.

Because the storage space of the dimensional space bag is extremely valuable.

After peeling off the snake skin and removing the most essential snake gall gall, Ye Hanjun cut off the most tender piece of snake meat and discarded the rest.

Soon, the twilight was falling, and the smoke was rising.

Supplemented by several spiritual materials, as well as several seasonings, a pot of snake soup soup is made.

After tasting Su Mei and Li Jingming, one was amazed at the deliciousness, and the other silently drank the second bowl, expressing the joy of the taste buds with practical actions.

"The development and mastery of the three skills of "Air Stepping", "Whirlwind Legs" and "Mental Stinger" ......"

"The capture ...... of the supernumerary spirit "Mud Blade Mantis"

"Guagua's Promotion ......"

"Everyone has gained a lot from this trip, and there is no need to stay in the yellow mud swamp and continue to endure the muddy and dirty mud."

"Tomorrow I will turn back, expect to officially leave the swamp the day after tomorrow, and then go straight to the academy."

Drinking to his heart's content, Ye Hanjun decided.

Although it is expected that the grimace moth and the pink ostrich will rise into the clay sculpture as soon as possible.

But this kind of thing is really not easy to force.

Especially Su Mei, her ostrich was only promoted to clay sculpture more than 20 days ago.

At this stage, with the assistance of various resources, it is still a bit difficult to improve again.

"I'm finally going back......" Su Mei breathed a sigh of relief.

This week's experience, except for not encountering the slaughter of the Four Ghost Mercenary Regiment, is far more dangerous than the survival trial.

She and Li Jingming's nerves were tense continuously, and they were always in a state of high-intensity alert, and they couldn't relax at all.

Now that I heard that I was about to return, I first felt that this trip was worthwhile, and it was beyond imagination.

The next second, when the joy came up, a strong expectation arose.

"Boom...... Boom ......"

The process of leaving the Yellow Mire was far smoother than expected.

The two bandits who fled were never seen again.

The ghost flower girl wandering in the night has never really met her.

Even, in the nearby forest, Ye Hanjun found the "cow and horse" he bought with money.

This big guy just had a bulging head, as if he had been stung by a poisonous bee.

Other than that, it is safe and sound, and there is no problem with acting as a mobility mount.

Ride on a cow and horse, and lead the mud blade mantis like flying a kite.

The three people and four beasts shuttled through the uninhabited jungle, and occasionally came across a small village composed of dozens of people, and they all chose to take a detour and did not rush to disturb.

At night, a row of stretches of blue bamboo forest comes into view, and the refreshing bamboo fragrance escapes for thousands of kilometers, and the smellers are all shocked, and subconsciously slow down the speed of running.

Canghai Pavilion - It's almost there!

This is a barrier outside the Canghai Pavilion, and by planting a large area of "blue bamboo", it can effectively repel some harmful insects and ants and prevent them from damaging urban buildings.

"You go back first, and leave me alone."

"By the way, tomorrow evening, remember to call Wang Xinfei to gather in the training room."

"There are less than 10 days left before the freshman competition, and there is still a final pre-race sprint."

"Yes, Master Han."

Su Mei and Li Jingming bid farewell to Ye Hanjun and scattered along the sheep intestine path into the city gate.

In the dark of no one, Ye Hanjun took off his wig and makeup on his face to return to his true appearance.

Then, after eating a barbecue in the wilderness, putting on his own black trench coat and wearing a wide brim, he rode his oxen and horses leisurely towards the city gate.

"See, that's the leader of the Four Ghost Mercenary Regiment!"

"It's so miserable to die, no matter what, it's a strong man of the 3rd rank, he was unruly in his life, he didn't expect his appearance to be so miserable after death, it's really evil and evil retribution, he deserves it!" ……

Whispers came from the crowd.

Ye Hanjun's expression moved, and he couldn't help but raise his head and look at the city gate.

There are dozens of entrances and exits of Canghai Pavilion, and Su Mei and Li Jingming detoured and returned from the 2nd and 3rd gates of the North Courtyard respectively.

And what he chose was the first gate.

This is the main gate of the North Courtyard, and the gate post alone is 200 meters wide.

The frost-white door opens to both sides, and then there is a blue-gold door plaque, on which the three big characters of the Canghai Pavilion dragon fly and phoenix dance, each stroke penetrates the metal, there is a giant dragon leaping momentum, flowing clouds and water, magnificent atmosphere.

But......

Unlike in the past, there are two other stone pillars in the center.

On the left, there was a figure tied to the top, naked, every inch of skin was open and fleshy, and dark red blood was constantly dripping down the stone pillar.

Just looking at his appearance, Ye Hanjun is very unfamiliar, because this is a middle-aged man he doesn't know at all, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a swallow jaw and tiger neck.

But the other stone pillar was easy to identify, it was a long-dead bird, with blood-red feathers all over its body, and the smell of blood that permeated it, it couldn't be more familiar.

- Bloody Hand Sparrow!

Unexpectedly, when he returned from a hunting trip, the leader of the Four Ghost Mercenary Regiment, "Ghost Hand", had already been killed.

"Who is this, who is this, to hang at the gate of the city, let the sun shine, let the wild birds peck at it, what kind of guilt needs the hospital to make such a big move?"

"You don't know that, do you? This person did all kinds of evil, and more than a dozen of the academy students and teaching assistants died tragically in his hands, and even the two official tutors were crippled because of him. ”

"Such a vicious and bold person, if Canghai Pavilion is not dealt with by the method of thunder, outsiders will definitely despise it."

"This is a deterrent on the surface, that is, to tell those who have ill intentions that those who offend me will be punished even if they are far away!"

The crowd of people coming and going is not as dense as the river.

But the spirits that accompany the lord are up to the tigers, cheetahs, and wild boars...... From beetles, sparrows, and rats...... All kinds of things, all kinds of strange things.

Almost everyone would raise their heads and cast a gaze at the miserable death of one man and one beast.

Then, some people snorted coldly, some sighed, some gossiped, and some were silent.

"Who killed it? I heard that this person is a D-level authority "killer", and the bloody hand sparrow is even more of a jade baby, so most of the tutors of such a strength academy are not his opponents, could it be that the vice president-level big man personally took action? ”

"Hey, I guessed half right."

A student snickered and replied:

"There are indeed fourth-order bigwigs, who will hunt down and kill them in person."

"But the first to find the hiding place of the ghost hand and behead him under him is the famous Windranger - Ji Yan!"

"I'm sure you've all heard of this one's name."

"According to my research, he was also a student of Canghai Pavilion before, and he was favored by Tutor Tong Xuan."

"This time, Master Tong was abolished by the ghost hand, and there is very little longevity left, and I am afraid that he will not live for five years."

"Master Ji left the academy in a fit of rage, pursued for thousands of miles, slaughtered many wicked people, searched for all kinds of clues, and finally locked the location of the ghost hand......"

Ye Hanjun eavesdropped on the conversations of passers-by with great interest.

There may be exaggerations in it, but the main part should not go wrong.

Ji Yan killed the ghost hand? It's kind of interesting.

I just don't know, the person who hired the ghost hand - have you ever found it?

Glancing at the knife marks all over the corpse, such injuries were unlikely to be triggered during the battle, more like torture after being captured alive.

However, the killer has a passive power called the "employment agreement", once the employer accepts the employment, in addition to the corresponding remuneration, the hired party must also passively abide by the confidentiality agreement.

This kind of restraint stemming from authority, even if it is not a very conventional method, is difficult to pry out of the killer's mouth.

"Is that a good thing?"

With a chuckle, Ye Hanjun asked himself secretly.

Killing the villains who provoked the courtyard in a short period of time, this way of proving strength, can undoubtedly promote the effect of deterrence to the extreme.

Even if he couldn't find out who wanted to target the Wang family and who wanted to take his life.

The people behind this covet either pay several times the price and commit crimes against the wind.

Either stop for a while, and temporarily stop dying.

Either way, it doesn't seem to be a bad thing for Ye Hanjun.

"Look, that XX is actually riding a cow and horse!"

"Hahaha, how could anyone contract such a spirit, see you for a long time!"

Ye Hanjun, who covered himself tightly, restrained his breath and was not noticed at all.

But riding a cow and horse still seems a little strange, and from time to time it will attract the laughter of passers-by A and passer-by B.

They thought they were noisy crowds, keeping enough distance that it was impossible for them to be heard by Ye Hanjun.

However, Ye Hanjun, who listened word for word, went in with his left ear and went out with his right ear, and he didn't care about these strange eyes at all.

"Boom ......"

After a while, Niu Ma followed Ye Hanjun to Hutou Courtyard.

Ye Hanjun patted its head, and while tying it to the big tree at the door, he said to himself:

"You Hanhan, if you can survive the next hunt, I'll get some materials and help you pile up the Xia Zhao Fetus."

"If you don't have this luck, then don't blame me, these days of delicious and delicious service should be regarded as the last meal before death."

"Boom ......"

Cows and horses are even more stupid and cute than pink ostriches, and if they want to understand human language, they will probably have to wait for the next life.

But this cow and horse have "docile" as the core personality.

As long as the night Hanjun is fed a few times, it behaves very affectionately.

This is also an important reason why one trip and two trips are quite smooth.

"Stay put."

With a click, Ye Hanjun opened the door, and his first target was the bathroom.

Although the rinsing service of Guaga is becoming more and more skillful, the water it sprays is cold and cold, and after all, it is more exciting than the hot water full of flower petals.

With the refreshment suppressed in the throat, it erupted in the rising mist.

Ye Hanjun took a bath for a full hour, and when he came out, he was refreshed, and most of the fatigue he had dissipated for a week.

But this was not enough, Ye Hanjun didn't think about anything, and in the blink of an eye, he lay on the bed, covered with a quilt, and fell into the deepest sleep in less than three seconds.

And so, the next day, it was not yet light.

Ye Hanjun, who woke up from his sleep, was full of energy, and his fair skin was filled with a trace of blood.

"Babble~~~"

The tadpole, which had also slept for a while, followed it from the state of the stone and turned back into its real body.

Its two eyes are also shiny and shiny, and it seems that every day is full of anticipation, and it is difficult to have emotions such as worries that really affect its mood.

Ye Hanjun played with Guaga for a while.

Then think carefully about what you need to do next, and plan step by step from the long term to the near term.

The missing vital essence in the body has long been steadily restored in the direction of strength under a series of powerful drugs and foods.

At this stage, Hua Zhu does not need to be deliberately cultivated, and participating in the death challenge every day is enough for her to gain hundreds or thousands of skill proficiency.

The "coach" is also about to make a breakthrough, as short as 10 days, as long as 20 days, and it can be gradual.

Then, the remaining problems are nothing more than "contract demons" and "blood contract rituals".

In addition, to confirm the death of the ghost hand, the hospital has obtained information about the mercenary.

If not, after all, he has to figure out a way to find the person behind the scenes as soon as possible, and make this potential threat ...... Gone!

After his thoughts were clear, Ye Hanjun first went to Cross Old Street and sold the materials obtained from the Yellow Mudmarsh hunt in batches.

Earn spirit stones while replenishing lost props and medicines, ensuring that there are always abundant supplies in the dimensional space bag.

Then, after tossing for most of the afternoon, Ye Hanjun went to the mission hall to check the "Eyewitness Mission" released by himself.

"Sir, I'm sorry, but all the 500 lower grade spirit stones you stored here have been deducted."

The receptionist, who was sitting upright, checked the information and handed over a sealed box.

"This is all the information gathered, there are 18 in total, please take a look at it yourself."

"So much?"

Ye Hanjun was a little surprised, found a VIP lounge, locked the door and read the scroll.

[Intelligence 1: Someone excavated the skeleton of a suspected demon in the woods 700 miles south of Canghai Pavilion, and the relevant bone fragments were identified and suspected to be true...... The incident happened a year ago. 】

[Intelligence 2: A student was in Hongshan Village near Canghai Pavilion and heard rumors that a hundred years ago, a pig-headed dog with bat wings broke into the village, which was suspected to be a "pig demon". Later, it was jointly surrounded and suppressed by the hunters of the village, but no one returned, and the whereabouts of the monster are unknown......]

[Intelligence 3: It was mentioned that an intact demon egg appeared in an underground auction house, and was later auctioned by an unknown buyer, and its whereabouts are unknown. note, the incident occurred ten years ago ......]

[Intelligence 4: An anonymous teaching assistant provided information that he had seen a black blood in a tutor's laboratory, although the variety is unknown, but the label on it is "Demon Blood". The incident happened five years ago ......]

……

18 pieces of information, Ye Hanjun read it in a few minutes.

Then, his brow furrowed slightly, and he was silent as he played with a few pieces of black bone that were used as "physical evidence".

This information ...... The whole is not reliable.

Although three people provided physical evidence, only one of the bones was held in his hand, and he could faintly feel "kind".

The other two are not demon bones at all, they belong to some dark attribute spirits, because they are too broken, and the Night Cold Lord can't identify the belonging.

"It's all "suspicion", "inference", or "age......"

"For example, if I were to track down the whereabouts of this demon egg, demon blood, and demon bones, I don't know how much time and energy I would waste......

"This is not guaranteed, when the time comes, I will really find it, if the demon variety is too bottom, am I going to make a contract at this stage, and then find a way to strengthen the bloodline in the future, or will I never give up immediately?"

After thinking about it for a moment or two, Ye Hanjun temporarily put away the information, left the VIP lounge, and found the staff again.

He continued to post the task of "finding demons", this time paying 1,000 low-grade spirit stones in advance, and asked to mark on the mission announcement, if he could provide enough high-quality clues to help him find unconventional demon living bodies, he could leave contact information, and a large amount of spirit stones would be added as a reward.

"Sir, your assignment has been issued."

The staff smiled, signaled that Ye Hanjun could leave, and then asked the people in the queue behind to step forward.

Hundreds of new quests are released every day in the Hall of Quests, and there are hundreds of quests that need to be paid for completion.

This kind of mission related to the Prison Soul is rare on weekdays.

But among all the tasks, it can only belong to a small task that is a little curious, to say how special and how special...... Not really.

[Urgent task (very low difficulty): The pet spirit of the staff member Granny Qian was lost near the Xiangman Building in the North Courtyard District, and I implore well-wishers to help find it...... The reward is 5 lower grade spirit stones. 】

[Limited Time Mission (Normal Difficulty): Limited to three days, urgently need the fluff of the "Multi-eared Rabbit", the horns of the "Ice Rhino", and the glands of the Grass Spider...... The reward is 60 lower-grade spirit stones. 】

[Special mission (difficulty capped): The four ghost mercenary groups are all wiped out, if anyone can provide any clues about the employer behind them, or other channels, and find the enemy who secretly covets the Blue Frog King's family, the Wang family is willing to provide 10,000-50,000 lower grade spirit stones as a reward. 】

……

It's all here, and after posting the task, Ye Hanjun, took a walk around with him.

If you can find a task that pays a lot and is difficult and acceptable for him, he doesn't mind earning some pocket money.

After all, there is still a huge gap in the materials needed for the blood contract ceremony, and there is no way to let go of making money.

But it's a pity that some tasks that pay a lot of money but require special recipes to help mutate or ascend are unwilling to be accepted by Night Hanjun.

The vast majority of the remaining tasks are not even as good as going out to hunt by yourself, and you can sharpen and grow, and you can earn spirit stones, which has multiple benefits.

However, he confirmed one thing, the Wang family behind Wang Xinfei even issued tasks in Canghai Pavilion, and other places will only cast a wide net to release more.

It seems that the death of the ghost hand really did not reveal the real mercenary, and if the enemy cannot be found for a day, presumably the Wang family will also feel a headache, right?

Thinking about it, the time was almost up.

Ye Hanjun left the mission hall, rode a cow and horse, and went straight to the No. 76 training hall.

Not long after he arrived, three fat and tall "strong men" knocked on the door of the ultra-empty training room.

"Master Han."

Su Mei, Li Jingming, and Wang Xinfei saluted one by one.

Ye Hanjun glanced at it, and after a whole night of adjustment, the exhaustion that Su Mei and Li Jingming had hidden in their eyes had almost disappeared, and both of them were in a perfect state of radiance.

Only Wang Xinfei can only stay in the academy these days.

Although with her financial resources, there will be no pressure to rent the training room 24 hours a day, and the materials and medicines she wants can basically be obtained quickly.

But her face did not look full, and there was a hint of tiredness in her determination.

"You've increased your training volume?" Ye Hanjun asked.

Wang Xinfei nodded lightly and said:

"Now I already know that the actual effect of step-by-step and smooth training is not as good as in the field."

"But please rest assured, I'm not blindly seeking speed, I will customize the helmet food according to what you mentioned on the scroll."

"In addition, I also hired a student who has the authority of a "masseur" to help the helmet relieve muscle fatigue every day, so that he can better devote himself to training."

"Summon, I'll see." Ye Hanjun commanded.

With a bang, the armored horse appeared in the training room.

Its mental state is better than Wang Xinfei's, that is, there are a lot of scales falling off its body, and it is suspected that it was injured a lot during the battle with the beast.

"Accreditation."

——

[Race Name]: Armored Horse

[Chaos Seal]: "Barbarian"

[Major]: The Tao of the Flesh

[Rank]: Clay Sculpture Fetus: Dacheng

[Chaos Pattern]: 40 "Charge", 55 "Back Kick", 60 "Trample", 80 "Iron Charge", 65 "Brute Force"

[Core Personality]: "Self-esteem"

[Current Status]: Fatigue/Injury...

[Contractual Relationship]: Stable

It can be confirmed with the naked eye that the armor horse has not advanced, and it is still in the realm of clay sculpture.

However, compared to eight days ago, it has mastered the skill of "brute force", which is a full 65 lines.
