Chapter 296: Arriving at the foot of the Red Dragon King's Mountain
Xia Jiang simply responded to the kind reminder of the service staff and received the mission, only then did he learn his specific location in the east of the Catherian Empire.
Jumping on the Frog King, he came to the sky with a jump, but Xia Jiang did not wait quietly as usual, but immediately summoned his next generation mount, the spirit beast ant "Xiaoqiang".
"Wow, what a big toad! Well, master...... Where are we going?!" Xiao Qiang was excited to find himself suddenly in the air and see a creature that was even bigger than himself.
"Go catch a big worm...... Xia Jiang listened to Xiaoqiang's "talk", feeling ridiculous, and couldn't help but half-jokingly.
Xiaoqiang thought that he didn't know that Xia Jiang was joking, but when he heard the "worm" and wanted to take it, he seemed a little nervous. That's right, under Xia Jiang's teaching, this Xiaoqiang thinks that the "worms" in this world should be extremely weak, but if they become strong, they may be even more terrifying than the powerful beasts.
It was also during the conversation between the two that the giant frog began to land for the first time. Speaking of which, the giant frog was originally only suitable for jumping and traveling far away in a very familiar terrain environment, but after so many rides, Xia Jiang has completely mastered the descending trajectory of the giant frog, so he can perfectly control the location of the giant frog's fall, so that even in unfamiliar places, the giant frog can be used.
The giant frog landed this time, and it landed in a small jungle, and a large number of trees were directly stepped on the ground, which was somewhat damaging to the natural environment. But this is harmless, because if it is a little more remote, it is the center of the academy, and there are countless low-level students like him at the beginning, and he doesn't want to become a murderer wanted by the empire for no reason.
Immediately after that, he flattened all the way, and after seven or eight consecutive jumps, he didn't encounter any places that were difficult to choose, and one of them even landed, trampling some fierce beasts in the forest that were besieging weak humans, and scaring those fierce beasts away.
It was also in the midst of Xiao Qiang's addiction that the last jump finally came to the target forest.
When he came to the edge of this forest, Xia Jiang suddenly felt that the atmosphere was extremely tense, because before him, hundreds of people had already gathered here, obviously all of them were taking over to assist in the mission.
Scanning through the hundreds of people, I found that most of them were excited, and they all felt like they were about to take one step to the sky, and at the same time get a huge task reward, maybe they could also get a dragon treasure or two!
When his gaze finally froze, he fell on a young man wearing a dark gold robe and a blood-colored crown on his head.
That's right, he is indeed a young man, at most two or three years older than him, but his momentum is much stronger than his Xia Jiang, extremely flamboyant, and almost all over his body are quasi-spiritual weapons or magic weapon suits directly equivalent to the spirit weapon level.
"Is it possible, the object I want to help is this...... Rich second generation?" Xia Jiang couldn't help but think of this word.
Xia Jiang's guess is correct, this young man is the only son of the greatest hero of the Kaiser Empire in the latest imperial war, because he has the title of the son of the first hero of the empire, even Emperor Cather favors him, often rewards him with various magic weapons, and attaches great importance to him. In this way, it has been praised by countless people, and the treatment even exceeds that of the imperial prince.
Gradually seeing that this is boring, Xia Jiang also began to feel that this task was not bad, it seemed that his predecessors let him get closer to this rich second generation called Lan Wang, gain the favor of the other party, and thus obtain benefits for their team?
I don't know if the predecessors think so, Xia Jiang thinks so by default, and his thoughts begin to shift to the dark forest as time goes by.
This forest, Xia Jiang also knew that it was a desolate beast-level forest in itself, surrounded by the kingdom's super guardrails, the purpose of which was to prevent the desolate beasts from running out and hurting people, in addition to that, it was naturally a spirit beast, but it was relatively rare. And this time, it was actually rumored that there was a spirit beast Red Dragon King Cun zĂ i, which was simply a big news.
It was also until the night came, and the young man of Lan Wang, who was surrounded and protected by seven or eight super strong people, gave the order: "Listen, now is the time for the dragon to rest, Ben Shao will give you more opportunities to make meritorious contributions, immediately search for it from the four breads and find out the dragon's lair!"
"Good!"
"Let's go!"
"We all listen to Lan Shao!"
Suddenly, these excited mercenaries responded one after another, and they immediately dispersed and entered the forest with a tacit understanding.
Xia Jiang was naturally no exception, but he chose to enter from the front, so that he could have the opportunity to show in front of this Lan King, and at the same time, he could also take care of him. To say that the spirit beast of the Red Dragon King is not an ordinary spiritual cultivator, it is definitely killed in seconds, so Xia Jiang does not dare to guarantee that the eight spiritual cultivators around this Lan King have the absolute ability to protect the lord.
It was also when all the mercenaries entered the forest that the Lan King set off and entered the forest.
Xia Jiang occasionally looked back, and when he saw King Lan's confident appearance, he naturally couldn't help but feel worried about this kid, he was wearing a superb treasure, and when the time came, I don't know if he went to seize the treasure of the Red Dragon King, or was he targeted by the Red Dragon and swallowed it in one bite?
The forest at night was dark and cold, especially the forest full of desolate beast-level beasts, which made Xia Jiang feel even more dangerous, much more terrifying than those ordinary forests where the roar of beasts resounded throughout the four wildernesses.
However, perhaps it is because of the courage of the people, those mercenaries who are obviously in the early stage of cultivating as a great cultivator, although they are nervous, but they are still more excited, and they have not encountered a beast for more than ten consecutive minutes, and they are even more enthusiastic on their faces.
Rustle -
It was almost the twentieth minute before Xia Jiang began to notice that there was a faint smell of dormancy in the trees, in the grass, underground, and even in the trunks of trees that seemed to be the most reliable and safe.
Sure enough, just as the team gradually dispersed, and the average distance between people reached more than tens of meters, the first muffled snort sounded from one place.
This muffled snort was followed by similar sounds from everywhere, as well as the occasional terrible scream or two, with no doubt the voices of the mercenaries.
"It seems that this kid of King Lan is so evil, does he actually know that if he wants to see the Red Dragon King, he must first fill the stomachs of the countless desolate beasts in this forest?" Xia Jiang couldn't help but think with disdain.
In the midst of his thoughts, a yellow giant python suddenly shot out of a deep grass he passed, with a body size of only more than twenty meters, but the ruining aura exuded from his whole body was probably enough to scare those hundred-meter-level giant beasts with a body shape to death.
That's right, the person targeted by this yellow python is Xia Jiang, it slammed out, and countless venoms erupted from its mouth, which spread out like spider webs, blocking the space around Xia Jiang for several meters, unless he could teleport, he would definitely be affected by this poisonous web.
After all, Xia Jiang is at the level of a spiritual cultivator, and in the face of this kind of sneak attack at the level of a desolate beast, it will not make him scramble, his dual nature shield is opened, his feet are on the ground, he punches the snake's head, and the blood gyro power explodes, and the explosive energy explodes when the giant python sprints in front of him, and the super strong body of the giant python that is comparable to the city wall level is directly blown into a puddle of rotten meat by him.
"If you don't mess with me, let's just mess with the well water and not the river water, don't blame me for being rude......" Xia Jiang didn't despise this wild beast, and left a message before leaving.
In Xia Jiang's view, the life of this world is almost equal, just say that these desolate beasts are equivalent to the bottleneck of the great cultivator to reach the impact of the spiritual cultivator, they are gradually enlightened, and they are not inferior to human beings, and the difference with human beings is only the difference in physical characteristics.
The so-called equality of all beings, after all beings cultivate into the spirit, it is almost the same, just like his spirit beast Xiaoqiang, when he reaches maturity, at that time there is no difference in IQ with his Xia Jiang, or even higher.
However, although Xia Jiang treated the desolate beasts killed by him like this, the desolate beasts would not show mercy to him because of this, and the ones who should have attacked were still sneak attacks, at most, some people who saw him were powerful, so they would quietly retreat and choose other targets.
Next, Li Xia Jiang rushed all the way to kill, and about 3,000 mercenaries, braved these lurking wild beasts, and marched towards the depths of this forest, and finally, he finally saw where the rumored dragon blood was.
It was a big mountain, thousands of meters high, and it was extremely eye-catching in this forest, especially compared to several other forest mountains, it still exuded the magic weapon aura and aura fluctuations that could not be concealed on its surface, and the plants within the range grew extremely strange and different.
Xia Jiang sprinted a few times and came to the foot of this high mountain, and saw more and more that at the foot of the mountain on that side, there were a large number of plants that were thicker than trees, but obviously strange and similar to weeds.
"Dragon's beard!"
Xia Jiang muttered almost with certainty.
"A few of you are not bad, you can actually rush here haha, okay, it should be the dragon's lair, you should go in and hunt for treasure now!" King Lan followed in the footsteps of Xia Jiang and the others, came behind them, and quickly discovered the suspicious dragon's lair area, and immediately ordered.
Xia Jiang listened to this Lan King's tone, obviously asking them to go in and send them to death, and saying this kind of thing, this guy is really so serious, it is extremely shameless.
However, Xia Jiang came here to express his feelings, so naturally he would not go against this Lan King, but immediately agreed: "Please rest assured that Lan Wang, I will definitely catch that little worm and give it to King Lan to drink!" Xia Jiang was also ashamed.
After all, Xia Jiang was naturally not ambiguous, and he immediately divided into two avatars, one left and one right, and approached that suspicious area in three ways.
The others were originally all spiritual masters, almost similar to Xia Jiang's thoughts, to show off in front of this Lan King, but at this time, they were preempted by this Xia Jiang and secretly depressed, but at this point, they could only follow Xia Jiang and immediately stepped forward.
"Damn, this kid doesn't know who it is, I've never seen it before, he actually dares to steal the limelight, hum!
But just waiting for these people to go away, the corners of the Lan King's mouth rose and fell: "Hahaha yes! When these masters are dispatched, they will definitely be able to lure the Red Dragon King out, and when the time comes, when the Red Dragon King solves them, I will suddenly attack, and strive to kill the Red Dragon King with one blow, and then seize all its treasures!"
