Chapter 142: Three Flame Demons
There is a small level gap, and it is indeed easier than before for the candle to crush the muscle zombie Let Me Wave.
After the battle, Ye Hanjun arranged for Su Mei, Li Jingming, and Wang Xinfei to carry out training and revise their next growth plans one by one.
After that, Ye Hanjun asked me about some of my past experiences, and only then did he know.
The reason why this rookie king disappeared for half a year was entirely because he went out hunting and fell into a desperate situation of life and death, and was forced to recuperate for a long time in an unnamed valley.
It is precisely because of this experience that the muscle zombies broke and stood up, whether it was combat ability or the degree of tacit understanding of cooperation, it can be said that it has made rapid progress.
"Master Han, now that you have been promoted to the second rank, you also hold the status of an official mentor."
"Have you ever considered submitting an application and then going to teach at the Southern Academy?"
Ren I asked seriously.
Ye Hanjun shook his head and said bluntly:
"I don't know much about the situation in the South Courtyard, but I have heard countless times that the number of people there is far less than that of the North Courtyard, but the actual competitive pressure has increased several times."
"Especially the "Ten Prides" and "Three Heroes", it is said that they are the key to the inheritance of Canghai Pavilion to this day, which is both identity and glory, and all the students of the Southern Academy are chasing."
"That's true."
Ren I nodded wildly, and said yearningly:
"The title of the newcomer king of the North Courtyard can only be in the limelight in the North Courtyard."
"When I arrived at the Southern Academy, although this kind of title was not useless, as long as I didn't rank among the top ten, no matter how much I achieved, it was worthless."
"So, you go first."
Ye Hanjun said truthfully:
"No matter how eye-catching I am in the North Courtyard, I can easily control the field because of my own strength."
"Once I go to the South Courtyard now, the coaching has not yet begun, and as the source of the storm, there will only be a steady stream of troubles coming over."
"Then I'll be in the South Courtyard, waiting for Master Han's arrival."
Let me clasp my fists and salute with respect.
"It won't be too long."
Ye Hanjun glanced at Su Mei, Li Jingming, and Wang Xinfei, and muttered:
"With me taking care of them, the three of them have made rapid progress."
"When they're almost stuck at the tipping point of the second rank, I'll set my sights on the South Courtyard."
"And in this transitional stage, maybe you and I won't have too many opportunities to meet."
"If you have any confusion about your cultivation recently, take advantage of it now, and I will try my best to answer it."
"I will also make an exclusive growth plan for your authority and contract spirit according to my understanding."
"You can rest assured, I will not reduce the necessary grinding, but some irrelevant and meaningless detours, there is no harm in avoiding them in advance."
……
For a whole day, Ye Hanjun and the four disciples soaked in the training hall.
The disciples did not achieve a spectacular breakthrough or an important achievement.
However, the effect of getting along with each other and teaching seriously and accelerating the flow of authority is far ahead of the opening of a course for 100 ordinary students.
Such a fulfilling day lasted for three days.
Three days later, I went madly to the South Courtyard, which became a legend of the North Courtyard.
The night Hanjun, who has calmed down, carries out a "cooking" related class every three days on average.
In his spare time, he either instructed his disciples, taught flowers, or caught Guagua, learning human language.
Of course, he did not fall behind in the daily food and medicine supplements.
The ancient succubus Ajifra is still absorbing his life essence, all the time, like a trickle.
There is no better way to stop it, but with better quality supplements, ensuring that the input is greater than the output.
……
Half a month later.
The disguised Night Hanjun went to the Mission Hall again.
Walked to the window and showed the anonymous identity ring corresponding to the task client, and the staff handed over a sealed box.
"Sir, this is the latest intelligence information collected, a total of 16 copies, please take a look at it yourself."
"Hmm." Ye Hanjun stretched out his hand to take it, and didn't forget to ask, "How many spirit stones are there that have been paid in advance?" ”
"Sir, to date, you have invested a total of 3,000 low-grade spirit stones in this task."
The staff smiled, "At present, there are 210 pieces left, and according to the previous frequency of loss, it may not last for a few days." ”
"Here are 500 pieces, continue to issue commissions, and the task cannot be suspended."
"Yes."
The staff took away the spirit stone bag and handled the relevant services proficiently.
Holding the box, Ye Hanjun found a spare VIP lounge, locked the door and read the scroll.
[Intelligence 1: 500 miles north of Canghai Pavilion, in an area called 'Stucco Swamp', a batch of fossils has recently been unearthed, including demon horns, demon wings, ......]
[Intelligence 2: Recently, a caravan from the Red Frog Country passed through the Blue Frog Country, and the small talk between the merchants mentioned that in a hilly area in the east of the Red Frog Country, a group of "stone demons" suddenly appeared. These Hell's Spirits are said to live deep underground, and it is believed that someone was mining there and accidentally disturbed and destroyed their habitat......]
[Intelligence 3: Half a month ago, a young demon appeared in the "Slave Building", one of the four major chambers of commerce in the giant frog pond and marsh, with no wings on his back, a thin body, and two eyes...... Because the variety is unknown, the tentative "treasure" is expected to be auctioned in the royal capital of the Blue Frog Country in ten days......]
……
Seeing half of it, Ye Hanjun stopped for a moment.
This time, the value of intelligence is generally high.
For example, the "Stone Demon" is a demon whose whole body is made up of stones, and ordinary swords, guns, and halberds cannot even leave scratches on its body.
At the same level, the defense of the stone demon is comparable to that of the armored horse.
Otherwise, they move slowly, react slowly, and are afraid of water...... These are the weak points.
But it also has advantages, such as great strength and a murderous character...... Out of 100 points, how can the stone demon also have 80 points.
As for the young demons that are about to be auctioned......
It has no wings on its back, and its body is thin, with eyes and two mouths......
Ye Hanjun preliminarily determined that this was the "Monkey Demon".
Monkey Demon - When this demon grows up, it is still small and not good at hand-to-hand combat.
It is characterized by its flexibility, especially in forest-like environments, with the help of tree branches, vines, shrubs...... It's hard to catch it.
In addition, the monkey demon also has the skill of sonic nature.
If you roar unexpectedly, the enemy may be stunned.
In Ye Hanjun's mind, the value of the Monkey Demon would even be higher than that of the Stone Demon, almost 85 points.
However......
Just thinking about it simply, Ye Hanjun's brows still furrowed.
Fortunately, the giant frog Ponduma was able to find the demon, so that the power of the "Demon Attendant" would not stagnate for five years.
Fortunately, whether it is the royal capital of the Red Frog Country or the Blue Frog Country, the road is far away and there are many crises.
This is not an easy problem to solve at this stage.
After thinking about it again and again, Ye Hanjun suppressed his churning thoughts, preparing to read the remaining information in the scroll before making plans.
Unexpectedly, there were really additional surprises.
The 15th piece of information, which reads as follows:
[Intelligence 15: To the north of Canghai Pavilion, near the border of the Blue Frog Country, there is an inaccessible land. 】
[There is a mass grave mountain there, and in recent decades there have often been spirits such as dead spirits and demons......]
[At the foot of the mass burial mountain, there is a village of less than 100 people, the young ones are all mortals, and the adults are basically dependent ......]
[Because of the proximity to the Mass Burial Mountain, many people in the Mass Burial Village have hunted demons, and there are also individual lords whose contract spirits are demons......]
[I heard that there are more than ten demon varieties in the Mass Grave Mountain...... Among them, the more dangerous and powerful one must be the "Fire Demon......]
[Note: I heard this information mentioned by the elders in the family, and the elders returned from traveling many years ago, so they can only confirm that the mass grave mountain really exists, and the demons also really exist. 】
[Dan...... If time passes, and today's mass grave mountain has become a thing, please don't blame the task publisher......]
"Mass Grave Mountain...... Mass Grave Village...... Fire Demon ......"
The finger that grabbed the scroll unconsciously used a bit of force.
Ye Hanjun's eyes were scorching, compared to the stone demons and monkey demons in front of him, it was obviously this information that attracted his mind more.
First of all, the location mentioned in the intelligence is quite far away from Canghai Pavilion.
But compared to the royal capital of the Blue Frog Country, or going abroad to the Red Frog Country, the difficulty is halved, and there is the ability to try at this stage.
Secondly, there are different breeds of demons in the Mass Grave Mountain, and the environment there must be biased towards darkness, and there are undoubtedly many more potential options.
Finally, the most important thing is the "Fire Demon" mentioned in the intelligence!
Among the low-rank demon species, the Fire Demon must be of the high-quality type.
It has a fiery fire element, and it can cast spells, and it can also fight hand-to-hand, and its combat power is balanced.
Moreover, the stone demons and monkey demons do not have a natural way to ascend and evolve, and they need to find another way.
But Firedemon is different.
The second rank is promoted to the third rank, that is, the womb of Xia Zhao flies to the womb of the jade baby.
The Fire Demon can naturally evolve into a "Twin Flame Demon", giving birth to an additional head, and its power skyrockets.
Not only that, but if you can cultivate the Fetus of Extinction to the 5th rank, the Twin Flame Demon can also go up and impact the form of the "Three Flame Demons".
Three Fire Demons - That's a High Demon!
The three heads breathed fire together, that was the fire of the prairie fire, the hundred-meter-wide river dried up in an instant, and the herds of fierce beasts turned into charcoal, as far as the eye could see...... What a shock!
Ye Hanjun's heart plopped and accelerated.
He admits that his interest has been piqued.
The Flame Demon can reach a rating of more than 90 points!
The existence of such a high-quality demon species in the giant frog pond made him feel silent...... How can you not make waves?
As long as you can contract with the Fire Demon, the "Demon Attendant" will definitely develop steadily!
With the initiative "Demon Altar", it won't be long before you can rise to the second rank and quickly catch up with the progress of the coach.
It would be even more interesting to consider another initiative, "Enchantment".
Once the power of the fire demon's bloodline is added to the body, the Night Chill King should turn into a burning fire man.
At the same time, he spat flames, punched armor, and stepped on scorched earth...... It's not too difficult to think about.
……
Providers of information also choose anonymity and are reluctant to identify themselves easily.
Ye Hanjun had no way to ask for more details.
However, when he left the mission hall, he made up his mind.
It doesn't matter if the stone demon or the monkey demon are there.
But this mass grave mountain...... It's time to go anyway!
After making a decision, Ye Hanjun went to the main hall of class selection as soon as possible, and temporarily closed the cooking class after that.
Naturally, it is impossible for the tutors in the academy to exist wholeheartedly just for the sake of teaching.
They also need to cultivate, and they also need to grow.
Just make sure that you are dedicated to your duties and fully consider the college.
When necessary, taking time off from school is as simple as eating and drinking.
After this matter was settled, Ye Hanjun ran to Cross Old Street and made a purchase.
Since the destination is clear, there are two types of spirits, demons and undead, so you can make some targeted preparations.
For example, "Illumination Charm", "Radiance Charm", "Bright Light Charm", ...... The more light elemental runes these runes made by the rune masters, the more the better.
For example, "evil temptation grass", "fresh pig brain", "fresh human blood", ...... Trap materials that may be of interest to these dark creatures should also be purchased as much as possible.
After a busy afternoon, when he returned to Hutou Courtyard, Ye Hanjun contacted Su Mei in time.
The place where the Mass Grave Hill is located is too far away, and there are too many potential dangers along the way.
The goal of this trip is to contract the demon and start the cultivation of the demon attendant authority.
Looking ahead, the three disciples were not suitable to carry, and when one person went, he could ensure his own safety.
"Master Han, I see."
"I'll inform Xiao Li and Fei Fei tomorrow that we will work hard to cultivate before you return to the academy!"
"Su Mei, your ostrich should be about to be promoted."
Ye Hanjun pondered, "You don't have to follow my rhythm completely, I can't protect you forever." ”
"This trip out, why will it take ten days and half a month to come back, you can team up with Li Jingming, according to what I said before, the two of you go out hunting."
"What about Fei Fei? Always staying in the academy, her progress is limited after all. Su Mei worried.
"Her grounding order is a bit of a hassle."
Ye Hanjun considered it and said:
"But staying in the academy and training at high intensity every day, it is not a big problem to be promoted to the second rank."
"When I transfer to the Southern Courtyard, the affairs of the Four Ghost Mercenary Group have almost cooled down."
"When the time comes, no matter whether the people behind the scenes have frowned or not, it doesn't matter if they go out hunting with other elite students, or participate in bizarre trials, the main thing is a 'rebellion'."
"Okay, I'll tell them."
Su Mei nodded, "Master Han, when are you going to leave?" ”
"I will take advantage of the night to leave Canghai Pavilion today."
"Guagua was promoted to clay sculpture ten days ago, but he grew up a little, and he still didn't trigger metamorphosis."
"Maybe this trip can also follow the rising glow?"
……
It was late at night, and Ye Hanjun, who had taken a nap, woke up the six-legged cow and horse in a daze and drove it to the side door.
Fortunately, the ascension was carried out in advance, and if it was still an ordinary cow and horse with perfect clay sculptures, it would be impossible to waste much time if they really wanted to go to this place called Mass Grave Mountain.
Along the way, there is no hiding from people's eyes.
The six-legged cow and horse are now a well-known substitute for the North Courtyard, and seeing the horse is like seeing the cold master, and it is impossible to hide it.
However, after leaving the city gate, Ye Hanjun did not take the avenue, but shuttled through the muddy path, almost no contact with humans.
By the time a day had passed, Canghai Pavilion was already infinitely far away, and the probability of meeting one or two people from the academy on the road was extremely slim.
More are mercenaries, adventurers, merchants, and hunters full of the atmosphere of the rivers and lakes......
Many of them like to drink, and prefer to brag while jerking off while drinking.
Ye Hanjun, who changed his outfit halfway, has a pseudonym of Bai Wuchen.
He wears a white wig with a slightly modified appearance, leaning towards young and middle-aged.
Along the way, he obviously didn't cause trouble, and he was always very low-key.
But when the post station is resting, the six-legged cow and horse are often regarded as his contract spirits, and they are commented on behind their backs.
Occasionally, you will meet someone who is not long-sighted, and you will come over drunken to "point out the country".
At this time, Ye Hanjun will not tolerate it.
As long as you shout "Old Six", the six-legged cows and horses will moo, rushing over with six legs to serve.
In this way, these dependents, who are generally only the first rank and the fetus of clay sculptures, finally judged that "the idea is very hard, and if you continue to provoke, you are looking for death".
Ye Hanjun's ears were cleared up at once.
……
"Boom...... Moo!! ”
With continuous running and proper rest, the six-legged cattle and horses are always in good shape.
Because of the super-spiritual strengthening, Ye Han-kun was able to discern danger in time.
If you can fight, let Hua Zhu fight, and if you can't fight, let the six-legged cows and horses take a detour.
Along the way, it has been much smoother than expected.
The only three crises come from the birds of the womb of the three jade babies.
However, they all flickered through the sky, and the prey they aimed at was the more powerful Kasumi Womb.
The careful and adaptable Night Hanjun was not treated as lunch or dinner, and there was no danger to spend it.
"It should be nearby, a mountain, shaped like a tower......"
On the fifth day after leaving Canghai Pavilion, after repeatedly comparing information, Ye Hanjun thought that the destination was nearby.
Indeed, as mentioned in the description, the surrounding area is either a barren wasteland, or a dark and deep mire, and it is difficult to see even living creatures, let alone adventurers.
It took a whole day of work, and Ye Hanjun walked around.
Finally, he saw three peaks, the one on the far right resembling a tower, which was very apt to the description in the intelligence.
In order to rush to this peak, it took more than half a day.
Approaching the foot of the mountain, Night Hanjun slowed down and raised his vigilance to the highest.
"Boom—"
Between the two trees in front of them, there was a very thin silk thread, tough and sharp, which seemed to be some kind of improvised trap.
On the hillside in front of you, there is a hovering green-eyed owl, not flying irregularly, suspected of being a human contract spirit, and is working on a sentry.
In the distance, there were a few faint wisps of cooking smoke, which had just risen and were blown away by the strong wind.
A little closer, about 800 meters away, there were two people covered in paint, one riding a tiger and the other riding a lion, looking around with solemn faces.
"Who!"
Night Hanjun didn't choose to sneak in.
After he had already identified the traps, secret whistles, and bright whistles around him, the other party realized it and finally discovered his traces.
Suddenly, the lion tiger roared and warned the surroundings.
The two savage-like lords also raised their bows and arrows, and their sharp edges were aimed at the eyebrows of the Night Cold Monarch.
"I have no ill will."
Ye Hanjun stopped, did not show a trace of panic, and calmly shouted:
"I'm here to find some materials and study some creatures by the way."
"I heard that the mountain next to it is often haunted by undead creatures and demonic spirits...... Is there such a thing? ”
"Whoosh!"
Two arrows were shot, Ye Hanjun's eyes were slightly cold, and he exerted his strength with his waist, and the whole person leaned back.
"Roar!"
The Colorful Tiger screamed, but did not pounce forward.
The same is true of the toothed lion, which wanted to rush forward, but was appeased by its master, and its roar became more and more irritable.
"Whoa—"
A "great ape" arrived, carrying a spirited old man on his back, also covered in paint.
In a few seconds, a black canine-like monster burst out, with sharp teeth like a mouse, ears like a fox, a pair of orange eyes full of murderous intent and a dark and cruel aura all over its body.
Night Hanjun's eyes froze, staring at the monster for a full five seconds.
- This is the "Dog Demon".
Among the five spirits present, the colorful tiger, the toothed lion, and the green-eyed owl, all three of which are clay sculptures.
The old ape is Xia Zhao Xiaocheng, and it is estimated that the combat effectiveness is similar to that of Xia Zhao.
Only the dog demon is a success, without any decay, giving people the strongest sense of crisis.
Of course, what really makes Ye Hanjun care is ...... It's the devil!
Mass Grave Mountain, Mass Grave Village - you can really find the Demon Hell's Soul here!
The first contract mark corresponding to the demon attendant finally has a place to use!!
"It's been a long time since outsiders have been in our village......"
The spirited old man, with an eagle-like gaze, stared at Ye Hanjun's bright white hair.
Judging from his expression and breath, it didn't look like he wanted to communicate amicably.
"Who are you and why are you here?"
A strong man came from a distance, brushed aside the branches, and stood beside the dog demon.
Judging from the subtle movements of him holding a hunting bow, subconsciously sniffing his nose, and subconsciously glancing around, there is a high probability that this is an E-class "hunter".
"I want to go up the mountain, but I'm worried about the danger, and I want to ask you for some information."
"There are 1,000 lower-grade spirit stones in here, if you can...... How about making a deal? ”
Ye Hanjun took out a bag of spirit stones and said calmly.
Who knows, the old man sneered and said with a little disdain:
"We live in seclusion here, self-sufficient, and this spirit stone is of little use to us."
"If you have no ill intentions, then please go back."
"If you take another step forward and threaten the safety of the village, don't blame us for being polite."
"So detached?"
Ye Hanjun smiled:
"If I don't need money, I have some medicine here, and some delicate and small machine toys...... You're independent of the world, so you don't lack nothing, do you? ”
The old man's eyes were cold, and he was about to scold.
The strong man stretched out his hand to stop him, looked into Ye Hanjun's eyes, and asked directly:
"What is your authority?"
"Scholars."
The corners of Ye Hanjun's mouth lifted an arc, and he immediately replied.
"Scholars?!"
Whether it is a strong man, an old man, or a colorful tiger or a toothed lion, they are all stunned.
"You look like you're only thirty or forty years old, and you're a scholar?"
"Don't soak in the library, don't stay in the research room...... Are you exploring the wilderness alone? ”
"It's because I'm curious about demonic spirits that I went out to investigate."
Ye Hanjun bowed his head and said, "In addition, I also have miscellaneous knowledge. ”
"Your Excellency, I see that there is a hint of hesitation hidden between your eyebrows, but you are in trouble? Maybe I can give you some advice. ”
