Chapter 218: A coincidence
The dark-skinned man said as he crawled backwards with his hands and feet.
The three of them were just late-stage foundation building cultivators, although they couldn't see the depth of Han Li's cultivation, but seeing his momentum falling from the sky, they also knew that they would definitely be able to crush their predecessors and masters with a single finger, where would they dare to stay here.
"Stop, who are you?" Seeing this, Han Li frowned slightly and asked in a cold voice.
"Small...... The little ones are three loose cultivators from Huayang City, and they don't know that their seniors are here, otherwise they would never dare to come here. When the three of them heard this, their bodies all stiffened, and the brown-clothed young man mustered up the courage to reply.
"Do you know what happened to this Sand City, how did it become like this?" Han Li asked again.
"Senior, you don't know...... Aren't you from a local Immortal Sect, but from overseas?" Hearing this, the brown-clothed young man was stunned for a moment before slowly raising his head, looking at Han Li, and asked with some confusion.
"Overseas Monk ......" Han Li was stunned for a moment, then understood.
For these low-level monks who live on an isolated island and may have spent their entire lives in the small area of Yunhu Island, they naturally think that the place they are located in is the entire continent, and the monks outside the island are not overseas monks.
"No more nonsense. Tell me, what happened here, and why was it slaughtered?" Han Li snorted coldly and asked sharply.
"Back to my predecessors, I heard that the long snake demon beast that lived in Yunsha Lake came out of the lake to forage for food again, and ate all the people in this city. The brown-clothed young man hurriedly said.
"Oh, what does this beast look like, have you ever seen it with your own eyes?" Han Li asked with a raised frown when he heard this.
"Senior, this ...... How dare this junior see it...... If you really saw it, it would definitely be the belly of the demon beast by now. However, it is said that this beast has cultivated here for an unknown number of thousands of years, and its body is extremely huge, almost the same as the Tushan Liangzi outside the city, and the core in its mouth must be hundreds of zhang long when it is spit out, and as for the venom in its belly, it is ......" The young man in brown said the rumors he had heard.
"Yes, yes...... Every once in a while, the monster would come out and make a fuss, and each time it would eat the entire city before it would stop......" The dark-skinned man also came to his senses and added.
"Does it only come out once every ten years, and each time it will only be active for seven days, and then it will disappear and not appear again for ten years?" Han Li asked with a move in his heart.
"So you've already heard those rumors, senior?" the dark-skinned man said with a cautious glance at Han Li, a little surprised.
Hearing this, Han Li's heart sank slightly.
Most of the long snake demon immortals in these mouths were the mirage beasts in the middle of the True Immortal Realm, and he hurried all the way, but he was still one step late.
In fact, he had been feeling strange on the way here.
According to common sense, the closer the island is to the central freshwater lake, the larger the size of the town, and the more people should gather in it, but the situation on this Yunhu Island is just the opposite.
On the edge of the island, near the ocean, there are majestic cities that enclose almost the entire island, but the further you go to the center of the island, the more the towns become more and more thin, and the terrain in which they are located has to be hidden.
Although this sunken sand city is still hundreds of thousands of miles away from Yunsha Lake, it is already the closest city to the lake in the western part of the entire Yunhu Island.
Now that I think about it, it is probably because of the relationship between the mirage beasts that people have moved the city farther and farther away from the center of the island, resulting in the current pattern.
"This beast is so calamitous, so no one will eliminate the harm for the people?" Han Li asked again as soon as he thought of this.
"Senior, it is said that a long, long time ago, there was an immortal who was entrusted by several nearby sects to take action to get rid of this demon beast, but the immortal fought with this beast for three days and three nights, and finally was seriously injured and defeated. And those sects involved in this matter were all wiped out by the demon beast in a few days, and no one dared to care about it from then on......" The brown-clothed young man said respectfully.
"Anyway, what are you guys doing here?" Han Li glanced at the three of them and asked lightly.
The three people, who had been kneeling on the ground and had never gotten up, looked at each other and refused to tell the truth.
"What, is there anything you can't say?" Han Li's face sank.
"Back to our predecessors, we ...... The location we are in now is where the main altar of the Luosha Sect is located, and this sect is the largest sect within a radius of thousands of miles in the vicinity...... The three of us want to ...... before the others arrive," the brown-clothed young man explained with a shudder and a cold sweat.
"Make a dead man's fortune first?" Seeing that he didn't say anything for a long time, Han Li added.
"Senior, we've just come here and haven't found anything yet, so you can check my storage bag. With that, the brown-clothed young man immediately took out his storage bag and held it high.
Seeing this, the dark-skinned man and the middle-aged beauty hurriedly did the same.
Han Li only swept his divine sense slightly, and he knew that they were not lying, all the items in the storage bags of these three people combined, not even five mid-grade spirit stones could be reached.
Han Li didn't actually feel disgusted by their behavior, the cultivators at the bottom, especially those who didn't have the attachment of the sect, had a particularly difficult path of cultivation, and he knew this better than anyone else.
His divine sense moved slightly, and he carefully explored the ruins of the Luosha Sect, but his brows couldn't help but wrinkle.
The scale of this sect is not small, but I don't know if it has been destroyed too thoroughly, and the magic weapons and artifacts left in the door are pitiful, and the grade is even more unsightly.
"There's something under the ruins on the east side, dig it out yourselves, get it out of here as soon as you get it. After Han Li dropped these words, his figure swept up and flew towards the eastern part of Shensha City.
As for the magic weapons and artifacts left here, he naturally didn't look down on them at all now, so it was better to leave it to these people, which could be regarded as a reward for telling him this information, or maybe it would become a big help on their cultivation path.
When the three of them heard this, they immediately froze in place, looking at each other, their eyes were full of surprise, and they forgot to get up for a while, and when they reacted, they could no longer see Han Li.
They walked in the direction of Han Li's departure, and after sincerely thanking them, they quickly stood up, ran to the ruins, and quickly dug up.
However, it was said that after Han Li flew to the eastern part of Shensha City, he did not leave directly, but picked a relatively intact mansion in the eastern part of the city, and flew down.
This mansion should have at least three courtyards, and it seems that it should also be a rather solid secular home, but now it has been ruined.
After Han Li came to the courtyard, he casually placed some simple restraints, then turned around and walked into the main hall of the main house.
He lit an oil lamp in the room and sat down at the table and chair.
With a slight flip of his wrist, a cyan bull's head mask appeared in his palm, which was directly worn on his face.
With the sound of chanting, a huge array of light and shadow appeared in front of him.
Before coming here, in order to hurry, he hadn't searched for too much news about the Mirage Beast in advance, and he thought that he would find a larger sect in Shensha City to ask for some news, but he didn't expect that when he arrived here, it would be like this.
Although he had already missed the opportunity for the Mirage Beast to go out this time, he had no intention of returning to the sect, but wanted to find out if there was any other way to complete this mission.
However, the mission information given by the sect was too brief, and he himself had limited knowledge of the Mirage Beast, and most of the information provided by the brown-clothed young man was just rumors, and there was no reliability at all.
He thought about it, and then he planned to try to find out some news about this beast through the Impermanence Alliance.
His earlier mission to find out where the giant egg and its feathers came from still hangs, and no one knows it.
He shook his head, and after some searching, his eyes lit up slightly.
There is a related quest within the Alliance, and it seems that it has been published for more than a thousand years:
"Kill a True Immortal Mirage Beast entrenched somewhere, reward: Thirty Immortal Yuan Stones. ”
Seeing this, Han Li was slightly stunned, how could there be such a coincidence?
Although mirage beasts are not rare, it is probably rare to cultivate to reach the true immortal realm, and what the other party wants to kill is not their own goal?
He pointed to the void with a groaning face, and through the mask he connected with the person who had issued the task.
After about a quarter of an hour's work, the cyan light array suddenly fluctuated, and immediately after, a stream of cyan light erupted from it, condensing in front of Han Li into a cyan figure wearing a deer's head mask.
"Are you interested in the mission you're posting?" the man asked, as he appeared.
"Yes, I'm a little interested in the Mirage Beast mission that Your Excellency has announced, I don't know where this beast lives, but what are the details about this beast?" Han Li nodded and asked.
"Since Daoyou has a heart, he will naturally not hide it. This beast is located in the eastern sea area of the Ancient Cloud Continent, a place called Yunhu Island. It has the blood of the ancient true mirage dragon in its body, so it is good at changing, and it is especially good at turning into a human form......" A hint of joy seemed to flash in the eyes of the Qingguang figure, and he hurriedly replied.
"I'm afraid this beast is not easy to deal with, otherwise Your Excellency's mission would not have been released for so long and no one has completed it. Han Li's heart moved, and his eyes flickered slightly as he asked.
"This ...... This beast has been cultivated in the middle stage of the True Immortal Realm tens of thousands of years ago, and it is cunning by nature, so it is indeed not easy to deal with......" The Qingguang figure froze slightly, and said so.
"True Wonderland mid-term...... Thirty Immortal Yuan Stones, but it's a little less......" Han Li said lightly.
"Fellow Daoist...... To tell you the truth, I can only take out so many immortal yuan stones now...... However, the spirit shell shed on the body of this beast is an excellent spiritual material for refining treasure armor, if Your Excellency can kill this fang......" Qingguang Shadow said with some anxiety.
"Okay. Han Li said with a deep groan.
"What do you mean...... Is this a mission?" asked the Qingguang figure as he looked a little disbelieving.
"I can't guarantee that I will be able to complete the task, so let's give it a try. Han Li said noncommittally.
"This ...... That's great. That's here, waiting for the good news of Daoyou!" Qingguang figure immediately said with great joy.
