Chapter 4: Experiencing Alone
Lin Ze didn't go to pick up the task immediately, but went back to his residence directly, if he couldn't find someone to form a team, he needed to prepare carefully.
Early the next morning, Lin Ze got up early, and after washing, he stood in the courtyard to practice swordsmanship.
It wasn't until late afternoon that he finished his sword technique cultivation, took out a basic formation book from his bosom and read it carefully.
He was not only a martial artist in the late stage of the Strong Body Realm, but also a second-level formation mage.
Because of the severance of spiritual power in the Wind and Thunder Continent, the power of the formation is not one in ten, but some formations are still very helpful to martial artists, especially in the wild, for example, there are two formations in the second-level formation that are very useful, one is the phantom cloud array, and the second is the phantom array.
Both of these are basic formations, the former one can raise a cloud of mist to obscure the vision within the enveloped area of the formation, and the latter one can make people have a faint illusion, so that they cannot find the set goal.
These two formations, Lin Ze can now be easily arranged, but not with the formation flag, but the things that can be seen everywhere around, such as stones, wood, etc., the power is naturally not comparable to the formation arranged by the formation flag.
It's not that he doesn't want to use the array flag, it's that he can't.
After a martial artist's cultivation reaches the Bone Refining Realm, the extremely rich blood qi can swim freely in the meridians, and it can also be attached to the weapon to strengthen the attack.
It can also be attached to the legs, allowing the warrior to burst out with unimaginable speed.
Attached to both fists, it can wield tens of thousands of catties of huge force.
Condenses on the surface of the body to increase its own defense and resistance to blows.
In addition, it can also condense into a flame-like red mist outside the body, which is the main means of refining qi and alchemy or refining array flags.
At present, Lin Ze wants to refine the array flag, but he is still far away.
It wasn't until Lin Danian asked him to finish eating that Lin Ze ended his comprehension formation.
Late at night, Lin Ze took out the leather scroll from under the pillow, grabbed the hand scroll on both sides with both hands, slowly opened it, and with his movements, a complete treasure map emerged from the scroll.
"Be sure to raise your cultivation to the Skin Refining Realm as soon as possible, and then go treasure hunting. Lin Ze's eyes flashed with a strange light, and the two words Xiuzhen on the leather scroll stimulated his nerves all the time.
It was because of these two words that his father Lin Sicheng took his mother to break into Fenglei Gorge, and a full ten years have passed, and he has never come out again.
After checking the treasure map repeatedly, it was not until the second half of the night that Lin Ze reluctantly put away the leather scroll and put it back in its original place.
Early the next morning, Lin Ze said goodbye to his grandfather and came to the mission hall again.
Today's popularity seems to be higher than yesterday's, and the hall is extremely noisy and there are a lot more people.
"This big brother ......" Lin Ze was just about to ask the people around him what was going on, when he heard a cold snort from the person next to him.
When I looked up, I found that this person had a familiar face, and it was actually the subject of the first inquiry yesterday, the black-faced man in his thirties.
Lin Ze walked away with a smile, his eyes no longer looking around, but looking at the task release screen on the left.
I watched the above tasks back and forth several times, and after repeated deliberation in my mind, I finally chose four tasks.
"Task 1: Collect the silk of thirty regiments of silverfoot spiders, and the task rewards one fire berry. ”
"Task 2: Collect eighteen mist soul grasses, and the task rewards one bottle of marrow cutting liquid. ”
"Mission 3: Capture 32 golden loaches in the underground spring, and reward two bottles of marrow cutting liquid. ”
"Task 4: Collect three vials of poisonous wolf's heart blood, and the task rewards one body-strengthening pill. ”
"Among the three tasks, except for the fourth one, which is a bit dangerous, the other tasks should not be a big problem as long as you are careful. Thinking so, Lin Ze came to the circular array under the mission screen, took out the identity token, and covered it on the selected four tasks.
Then, these four tasks disappeared from the big screen.
"I don't know whether to live or die!" Just as Lin Ze turned around, a cold voice came from his ears, and when he looked up, he found that the black-faced man before was looking at him sarcastically.
Seeing him, he snorted coldly again and turned to leave.
"Inexplicable!" Lin Ze touched his head and came to the center of the hall.
At this time, the person behind the circular counter was not a young girl he met yesterday, but a middle-aged uncle.
In the corner of the hall, the black-faced man from before stood in the crowd, looking at Lin Ze's background and frowning.
"Captain, what's wrong?" asked a pretty girl beside him, concerned.
"It's nothing, I just saw a junior who wasn't afraid of death, and in the later stage of the strong body realm, I went to take on the task of killing the poisonous wolf, I really don't know how the word death is written. The black-faced man said in a deep voice.
"Although the strength of the poisonous wolves is not high, they are all social demon beasts, even if they are smaller, there are more than twenty of them, a small strong body realm martial arts cultivator, taking on this task is no different from looking for death. The girl's face was worried.
A short man suddenly came out of the side, leaned over with a flattering face, and said, "Sister Rou is just too kind-hearted." ”
A hint of disgust flashed in the girl's eyes, and she ignored the short man's words. Then there was a thick melancholy on his face, looking at Lin Ze's departing back, he let out a long sigh, as if he really cared about him.
Lin Ze didn't know this, but went straight back to the grocery store.
He was going to spend three days making some preparations, and if he still couldn't form a team, he would have to go to the outskirts of Longjiao Mountain alone.
His original plan was to keep guarding the grocery store until his grandfather was old, and then focus all his thoughts on martial arts to pursue the realm of martial arts, but now because of a treasure map, his heart rose with the determination to become stronger.
Three days later, Lin Ze led a yellow horse, carried a package, and stood alone at the gate of Xicheng.
He said to his grandfather that he had joined a team led by a strong person in the late stage of the Skin Refining Realm, and the other party reluctantly brought him because he was a little familiar with the formation, and the departure date was set today, which was a rare opportunity.
Although Grandpa Lin Danian was still very worried, he still agreed, and he also understood in his heart that if he wanted to achieve something in martial arts, it was necessary to go out to practice.
From Linfan City to Longjiao Mountain, it takes at least five days to ride a horse.
It was not the first time that Lin Ze had gone far away, and he used to go to nearby villages and towns with his grandfather to buy some materials and sell them in his grocery store.
Although this is the first time to go to Longjiao Mountain for training, he is still alone, but he also seems calm outside the pavilion, and does not show the hesitation of ordinary teenagers.
His confidence is not that he has had the experience of going far away before, but that he has obtained a parchment scroll, has a detailed map of the entire Wind and Thunder Continent, and has studied the route map to Longjiao Mountain many times, and has firmly remembered it in his heart.
The road west of Linfan City to the Longjiao Mountain Range is not very smooth, occasionally there are first-order demon beasts infested, and there is hardly a village in sight, so you can only sleep in the wilderness along the way.
Turning over and getting on his horse, Lin Ze turned around and glanced at Linfan City behind him, and rode away.
