Chapter 21: Zhu Yan
"And the content of the reward ......"
When he said this, Zhou Haochen deliberately sold off the guanzi and paused for a while, but after seeing Chen Xiaobei's impatient expression, he decisively accepted it, and then said: "The content of the reward is that those students will be listed as the key training objects of Mingkong City, and they will be sent to the main city for free!"
"The main city?" Chen Xiaobei couldn't hide his surprise in his eyes.
After being defeated by the demon clan 5,000 years ago, the human race retreated to major cities. In order to resist those top demon cultivators, the controllers of the human race at that time arranged nine unprecedented large arrays based on the nine major cities and the rest of the small cities as the formation nodes.
And these nine major cities are called the main city, and Mingkong City and others are naturally vice cities. The prosperity of the main city is naturally not comparable to that of the vice city, and all kinds of resources are also available.
The main city of the big array where Mingkong City is located is called Youzhou City, which is thousands of miles away from Mingkong City, which is not far for immortal cultivators, but in the meantime, it is easy to encounter the demon clan, which is very dangerous.
Therefore, the two cities often communicate with each other in teleportation arrays.
However, the price of each teleportation of the teleportation array is very expensive, and it is difficult for ordinary people to pay for it, even if these families in Mingkong City are not willing to use the teleportation array easily unless there is an emergency.
And if it is included in the key cultivation objects of Mingkong City, and is sent to the main city for free, it can indeed save a lot of transmission fees.
Chen Xiaobei frowned and said, "You mean...... Would Zhou Haotian keep hunting demon beasts in order to send them to the main city? If this is the opportunity you are talking about, I think I would have known about it a long time ago!"
Zhou Haochen smiled slightly and said, "Of course it's more than that! No matter how many ordinary demon beasts hunt, among the countless geniuses in Mingkong City, it is not surprising. The family has worked hard, and naturally it will not be all. My father didn't know where he learned that there was an ancient strange beast 'Zhu Yan' living in Shanyang Valley, so he secretly gathered a large number of masters and prepared to go deep into Shanyang Valley to kill it, as Zhou Haotian's trophy, so that it could be sent to Youzhou City for free. ”
"Zhu Yan?"
Chen Xiaobei was well-read, and when he heard this name, he immediately thought that there was a book that mentioned it, but he didn't remember it very clearly, so he looked at Zhou Haochen with an inquiring gaze.
Zhou Haochen seemed to intend to show off his knowledge, and he didn't sell it, and said directly: "There is a beast, its shape is like an ape, and the white head is barefoot, the name is Zhu Yan, and when he sees it, he is a soldier." This is Zhu Yan, it is recorded in ancient books!"
Chen Xiaobei's heart moved, and he blurted out and asked, "Where is this Zhu Yan, when is your family going to kill him?"
Zhou Haochen smiled slightly, and secretly said in his heart: The fish has been hooked!
......
In the dense forest, a small group of six men and one woman was moving slowly.
Although four of the men looked around from time to time, carefully guarding against the monsters that might rush out from behind the surrounding trees at any time, if someone else observed, they would occasionally glance imperceptibly over the three people who were talking in the middle of the crowd.
Among the three of them, one was a young man with a baby face, and he only listened to his mouth gushing: "Brother Chen, you just saw it, I didn't lie to you! Although that demon beast seems to be ferocious, it is actually only a qi refining and cultivating, with the joint efforts of the seven of us, it is effortless at all!"
The other two, a man and a woman, walked side by side, although they did not hold hands, but others looked like a husband and wife for many years, and they were full of tacit understanding.
The couple is Chen Xiaobei's parents, and after they were fired from the Zhou Group, they also found many companies in the city, but they were all rejected for various reasons.
was rejected a lot, and they also saw that this was someone behind them, no need to guess, it must have been done by Zhou Haotian.
Although they had already guessed the truth of the matter, they had no choice but to sigh and find another way.
However, they understand the reasons behind the matter, so they naturally will not go around looking for companies that have a relationship with the Zhou Group.
But the Zhou Group has too much power in Mingkong City, and other companies don't dare to risk offending Zhou Haotian, the future head of the Zhou Group, and take them down.
Chen's father and Chen's mother had no choice, thinking that Chen Xiaobei would need a lot of spirit stones when he went to high school or even college in the future, so he gritted his teeth and planned to devote himself to the demon hunter industry.
The Demon Hunter Association is also one of the largest forces in the entire human race, although the Demon Hunter Association of Mingkong City is only one of its branches, but the power should not be underestimated, and it is not afraid of the Zhou Group.
Moreover, the Demon Hunter Association had a charter at the beginning of its establishment, and it would never refuse any monk to join the association. In fact, it is also because the demon hunter industry has a high degree of freedom, and the demon hunter association has no way to refuse if it wants to.
It was precisely because of these two points that Chen's father and Chen's mother made up their minds to join the demon hunter industry.
And when they registered with the Demon Hunter Association, they happened to meet Xu Wentao, Chen's father's former classmate.
This Xu Wentao used to live in a community with Chen's father's family when he was a child, and often followed Chen's father and was his follower, until he graduated, they were separated and had little contact.
Xu Wentao was very happy to meet Chen's father by chance this time, and when he didn't plan to become a demon hunter until Chen's father, he immediately patted his chest and said that he would take Chen's father to become a qualified demon hunter.
Father and Mother Chen were of course very happy when they heard this. After Xu Wentao obtained the consent of the other members of the team, Chen's father and Chen's mother temporarily joined Xu Wentao's team.
It happened that this period of time was the practice before the junior high school entrance examination, so Xu Wentao planned to take this opportunity to take Chen's father and mother out to familiarize himself with the survival method of the demon hunter.
On the way, a group of them inadvertently bumped into a demon beast, and the seven of them worked together to kill it, and there was something Xu Wentao said to Chen's father.
Xu Wentao is the "baby face".
Father Chen now has a request for Xu Wentao, and naturally listened carefully to what Xu Wentao said, and when Xu Wentao looked at him, he nodded with a smile and agreed.
Xu Wentao was very excited to meet an audience who was so willing to listen to him, and then said: "In the past, if we went so far, we must be careful and careful, because if we are not careful, we may encounter a demon beast that builds a foundation and cultivates, resulting in the annihilation of the whole army!"
"But this time is different, all the students in the third grade and above will come here to practice at this time, and the foundation building monks in the whole city are all mobilized to protect those students, except for those who are in retreat, so it is very safe here, and it is almost impossible to meet the demon beasts that are cultivated during the foundation building period, and it has become the best time for us to hunt demon beasts!"
Hearing what Xu Wentao said, Father Chen's heart suddenly moved, and he said secretly: Xiaobei also participated in the pre-junior high school entrance examination practice in the third grade, and he also came here, I don't know how he is now? I would rather he not complete the task of hunting demon beasts, but also be safe.
Thinking of this, Father Chen sighed secretly, and a faint trace of melancholy appeared on his face.
In this way, the seven of them marched all the way to the intended goal, and not long after, they came to a lush hillside, and Chen's father was secretly surprised in his heart: Why did he come to this place?
At this moment, a talisman aura suddenly lit up on a towering tree in front of him, and Father Chen was suddenly startled and shouted, "It's not good! There may be an ambush!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately pulled Chen's mother to his side and was on guard.
And in the moment, a bright yellow transparent light mask suddenly appeared, enveloping the entire area.
Father Chen was secretly anxious in his heart, but when he saw that Xu Wentao was missing one of the five people, and they seemed to have expected it, they looked unhurried, he had a faint sense of foreboding in his heart, but he was more surprised, so he turned his head and asked Xu Wentao tentatively: "Wentao, what's going on?"
