Chapter Eighty-Eight: One by One
In the evening, the sun was setting, and it was already time for dinner and rest, so it stood to reason that everyone should return to their caves, eat, rest, and prepare for the evening cultivation, but today it was the opposite.
At the place where the task of the Great Dao Natural Sect was taken, countless outer disciples and inner disciples in the early stage of Qi refining gathered outside, all with smiles on their faces, looking at the task at the top.
The later the task of the Great Dao Natural Sect is delayed, the higher the queue will be, so that everyone can see that you have not completed the task, and it will stimulate the person who receives the task to complete the task quickly.
This task at the top of the list is the one that has dragged on the longest.
"Today is the last day of this mission, I don't know if he can complete it. ”
"What do you think? We all took on this task at the time, not to mention a month, or even a year, and we may not be able to catch one, unless the blind cat touches a dead mouse. It's up to him how he ends. It's really overwhelming. ”
"I heard that Shao Nan of the Heavenly Spirit Root has been in the library for more than 20 days, and only went out yesterday to catch the ethereal wisp rat, and it is estimated that there is no possibility of even encountering a dead mouse. Ha ha. ”
"yes, yes, I heard he bought a whole bunch of turnips. It's ridiculous, although the ethereal squirrel is omnivorous, but I have never heard of anyone using radishes to attract the ethereal squirrel. ”
"Turnip? It's turnip? It seems that this Heavenly Spirit Root disciple is nothing more than that. ”
A group of slightly older outer disciples gathered together to discuss this legendary Heavenly Spirit Root disciple, and there was a hint of jealousy in their tones.
"I really don't understand, that Shao Nan actually gave up cultivating immortals directly, but still cultivated the useless body forging exercises, did he think that a good spiritual root could decide everything?"
"Whatever? I inquired, this task has never been completed by a disciple in the forging period, and even a disciple in the qi refining period is difficult to complete, and it is generally the senior brother in the foundation building period who helps the senior uncle catch a few to deal with. This Shao Nan will definitely be deflated this time, and he will be punished when the time comes, haha. ”
"Yes, Heavenly Spirit Root disciple, he was punished in the first month, this has never happened in our Great Dao Natural Sect, right? Ha ha. ”
"In one more hour, the final time to complete the task will pass, and I am really looking forward to it. It is estimated that after a while, he will come over in a gloomy manner and cancel the mission. Even so, if you don't complete the task for a month, you will be punished, haha. ”
"I've saved two hundred and forty points for this month's pruning mission, and if he wants to catch up with me, unless he catches twenty ethereal wisps, is that possible?"
"Twenty? I bet he won't catch any of them. Ha ha. I've also saved more than 200 points. Ha ha. ”
The pseudo-Linggen disciples who joined the sect with Shao Nan all gathered together, all with smiles on their faces, waiting for Shao Nan to make a fool of themselves.
"Hmph! You just can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour, and when Shao Nan returns, you will know. Zhou Yuliu's face was frosty, and he didn't expect so many people to say that Shao Nan was inadequate.
"You just wait for Shao Nan to come back with the ethereal wisp rat and slap you in the face. An Xiaoshan unexpectedly stood on Shao Nan's side.
Shao Jiashu and An Yuanwei didn't say anything, but stood behind Zhou Yuliu and An Xiaoshan.
Now the person in charge of the task is still Ji Liantian, looking at the task at the top that is about to reach a month, Ji Liantian felt a little remorseful, why didn't he stop Shao Nan at that time, didn't this hurt Shao Nan?
There is less than an hour left before the deadline, and if Shao Nan can't complete the task, the punishment will definitely not escape.
At that time, I thought that Shao Nan would not be able to catch it for three or five days, and he would definitely give up, but he didn't expect that a month would pass, and Shao Nan was still insisting, how could this be good?
There were more and more people in the area where the task was issued, and even all the disciples in the foundation building period rushed over, wanting to see if the first task of the disciple with the best talent in the Great Dao Natural Sect for hundreds of years could be completed.
No one thought that just because of a task that Shao Nan had received, thousands of disciples of the Great Dao Natural Sect gathered together, and they were all about to catch up with the momentum of the sect's grand event.
With so many people gathered together, they even attracted the attention of several Jindan real people from the Great Dao Natural Sect, and when several people heard the ins and outs of the matter, they were all helpless for a while, and they didn't expect it to be like this. At the same time, a trace of curiosity arose, can this Shao Nan complete the task?
After all, they are disciples of Tianlinggen, and several Jindan real people have already heard of it, but they didn't expect that the first contact would be such a thing.
Time passes, some people feel that time flies too fast, half an hour passes, and some people feel that time passes too slowly, so half a day, only half an hour has passed.
There is still half an hour left before the deadline of Shao Nan's mission, and if this half hour has passed, Shao Nan will have no skills to return to the sky, and it will be difficult to turn over.
Finally, with a quarter of an hour left before the deadline, the much-anticipated Shao Nan appeared.
Shao Nan's tall figure, the magic robe on his body became the appearance of a hunter, there was no trace of a smile on his honest face, but he frowned, his mind didn't seem to be on the road, and he almost bumped into the person in front of him.
Seeing Shao Nan like this, the people who had been mocking Shao Nan just now became more and more happy, and those who had some restraint before couldn't help laughing.
If Shao Nan really caught the ethereal squirrel, how could he still frown?
"Hmm, why are there so many people? Are you all waiting here to take on the task?" Shao Nan finally bumped into a person, only then did he react, and looked at the sea of people in front of him, and was taken aback.
"Shao Nan, they are all waiting to see your jokes. Have you completed your task?" Zhou Yuliu hurriedly squeezed over and asked in a low voice.
"See my joke?" Shao Nan asked rhetorically, and then reacted, "I see, since that's the case, let's let them take a good look." ”
After Shao Nan finished speaking, he strode towards Ji Liantian.
At this time, the outer disciples and inner disciples around them tacitly agreed to get out of the way, and they all wanted to see how Shao Nan would deal with it.
"Shao Nan, it's all to blame Senior Brother, Senior Brother should have stopped you at that time. I thought you would give up if you didn't work in three or two days, but I didn't expect ......" Ji Liantian didn't wait for Shao Nan to speak, and took the lead in blaming himself.
"Senior brother, I don't blame you. It was a task that I chose for myself, and it was something I had to stick to. It's not about you. Shao Nan smiled at the corner of his mouth.
"There's still a quarter of an hour left, so let's give up the mission. I'll give you a task that you can do right now so you don't get punished. Ji Liantian sighed.
The people around looked at Shao Nan with a smile on their faces, and their smiles all had an inexplicable taste.
At this time, if Shao Nan gave up the task and accepted Ji Liantian's task, although he would not be punished by the sect, his reputation among the outer disciples and inner disciples would probably be stinky.
"Senior Brother Ji, who said that I came to give up the task? Shao Nan looked around, looked at the expressions of the others, and suddenly spoke.
"What? Are you here to hand in the task?What kind of task?" Ji Liantian was stunned for a moment, and he didn't react at all.
"What did he just say? I don't seem to hear clearly?"
"He said he was here to hand in the mission. Did he really catch an ethereal wisp? It was a stroke of luck that the blind cat had touched a dead mouse. ”
"What's the use of that? 12 points a month. Haha, I have two hundred and forty points, which is exactly twenty times his. ”
"I guess he didn't catch the ethereal squirrel at all, he was bluffing. ”
It's not just Ji Liantian who doesn't believe it, almost everyone doesn't believe Shao Nan's words.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Shao Nan's body, wanting to see why Shao Nan dared to say this. Even the Zhuji disciples who rushed over after hearing the news and the Jindan Zhenren hidden in the air were all curious.
The voices of the people around him were all heard by Shao Nan, Shao Nan knew that there was no basis for what he said, and it was useless to say anything, so he took out a small bag directly from the storage bag and trapped the beast bag.
Ordinary monsters or other living creatures can't be put into the storage bag at all, only this trapped beast bag specially used to catch demon beasts can be put into the monster beast and then put it into the storage bag.
Shao Nan reached into the trapped beast bag with one hand, fumbled for a while, and took out a little mouse that was chirping.
The little mouse's body kept writhing in Shao Nan's hands, and it was even more looming, feeling erratic and about to disappear at any time.
It turned out to be really an ethereal squirrel, and looking at this head, it was still an adult ethereal squirrel.
"An ethereal squirrel, Shao Nan's mission is complete. Ji Liantian was stunned when he saw the ethereal wisp of the mouse, and then announced excitedly and loudly.
The task was completed, and the jokes that others wanted to see were not seen, and some people had long concluded that Shao Nan would not be able to catch the ethereal squirrel, and now it was even more self-defeating.
"Hmph, what's that? It takes a month to catch an ethereal squirrel. There are only twelve points. ”
"That's right, he patronized and caught the ethereal wisp of mice, he didn't cultivate, he abandoned his cultivation, and he couldn't be with us in the future. ”
Seeing Shao Nan complete the task, one by one still couldn't let go of the last fig leaf.
At this time, Shao Nan's right hand reached into the trapped beast bag again, and after a while, another ethereal squirrel was taken out.
"An ethereal squirrel, Shao Nan completed the task again. Ji Liantian continued to shout.
The people around them opened their mouths wide, and if it was a coincidence that one was caught, then it was not an accident that two were caught.
Sure enough, Shao Nan didn't say anything, continued to stretch out his right hand, and groped out an ethereal squirrel, from the trapped beast bag again.
Immediately after, Shao Nan no longer waited for others to speak, and the speed of his right hand increased.
The fourth ethereal squirrel.
The fifth ethereal squirrel.
Sixth, seventh, eighth......
Ji Liantian no longer shouted that the task was completed, and he felt a little numb, completely shocked by Shao Nan's ethereal squirrels one after another.
There was no sound in the entire place where the task was taken, and no one said anything cool, and they all watched in amazement as Shao Nan took out one ethereal wisp rat after another.
The scene was silent, except for the chirping of a few ethereal squirrels.
At this time, the people who had just made all kinds of remarks closed their mouths.
Shao Nan didn't say a word, and slapped the faces of the audience with this action.
Silent, but painful.
