Chapter 282 Xuanming Mountain
Chapter 282 Xuanming Mountain
Ying Baiyu was not surprised by the result, but Xiao Jie laughed in his heart.
Not bad, not bad. With so many unruly monsters, it seems that this wave of monsters can give us a lot of experience.
Most of the monsters that chose to stay could not fly, and the big rooster was one of them.
Ying Baiyu said: "Okay, then you guys just take care of the family business, and the rest of you follow me to meet the envoy of the Monster Star Tower, follow me!"
As he spoke, he flapped his wings and flew into the air, immediately transforming into a monster beast, which turned out to be a giant black-winged eagle, extremely majestic.
Xiao Jie flew up more than 20 meters like a flying cloud chasing the moon and then fell towards the ground. Seeing this, Ying Baiyu stretched out his claws and grabbed Xiao Jie firmly.
Combat skill - Eagle soars across the sky!
This skill is a throwing skill. Under normal circumstances, it can lift a target into the air and then throw it down to kill it.
However, when used at this time, it became a disguised carrying skill, carrying Xiao Jie and flying towards the south.
The other bird monsters hurried to follow.
"Where are we flying?" Ying Baiyu asked while flying.
Xiao Jie said: "Keep flying south, and when you see a dirt mountain, descend. There is a cave at the foot of the dirt mountain, and you can find out what they are there."
"understood."
Ying Baiyu flew in front, and the bird monsters followed closely behind.
Soon the dirt hill appeared in front of them. When the group passed by before, they cleared out an elite bear monster in the cave. Now it became a good place for an ambush.
Seeing Ying Baiyu swooping down, all the bird monsters followed. The crow monster seemed to feel something was wrong and quickly flapped its wings and followed.
"Hey, where are you going, my king?"
"The messenger from the Demon Star Tower arranged to meet in the cave ahead. Look, we're here."
The bird monsters looked at the cave with some uneasiness. After all, once the bird monsters landed on the ground, only 50% of their strength would remain.
I am somewhat scared about the idea of drilling into a cave.
But seeing Ying Baiyu fall to the ground, turn back into human form and walk towards the cave, the bird monsters could only follow him down.
The crow spirit looked at the dark cave in front of him and felt a little uneasy. "My king, why don't we meet outside?"
Before Ying Baiyu could think of how to explain, Xiao Jie had already spoken: "You don't understand such a simple truth? Of course, secret meetings must be kept secret. There are spies of the Tianyu Army everywhere in Canglin Province. If we meet in the wild and the Tianyu Army finds out, how can we get away? How stupid.
Besides, with the king here, why would we be afraid of him even if the envoy from the Demon Star Tower has some conspiracy?"
This statement was flawless, and all the monsters nodded.
Ying Baiyu also said calmly: "If you don't have the courage, it's still not too late to go back now. Such powerful strength is naturally only worthy of being possessed by the truly strong." After that, he went straight into the cave.
Seeing Ying Baiyu taking the lead and entering the cave, the bird monsters did not doubt him and followed Ying Baiyu into the cave.
The crow spirit had no choice but to follow in.
Soon all the monsters entered the cave.
However, there was nothing in the huge cave.
The monsters looked at each other.
"Where is the envoy from the Demon Star Tower?"
"Could it be that I'm late?"
"My lord, what should we do now? How about we go out first?"
The monsters were talking about it, but they heard a clear laugh coming from outside the cave, "Since we are here, why are we in such a hurry to leave?"
"That's right, we have specially prepared a great gift for you."
Then Haomiejiu, Jianxian Anran and others suddenly appeared at the entrance of the cave, blocking the exit completely.
"what?"
"Oh no, we're ambushed!"
"Kill out quickly!"
The bird monsters were all shocked. They were really caught in a jar.
"Don't be afraid, we are many! We have the king!" the crow spirit shouted. Suddenly, a cold shout came from behind: "Why, you remember I am the king now? I thought you wanted to be the king yourself."
What? When the crow spirit turned around, he saw Ying Baiyu raising his wings high and waving them violently, and the eagle feathers flew up!
With a flap of its wings, countless black eagle feathers shot out like a rain of arrows, shooting towards the bird monsters.
On the other side, An Ran also took the lead in launching an attack. Although she was not very good at swinging weapons, she was the best candidate for melee combat in such a small map as a giant bear.
The Bull Demon's Earth-Splitting Wave—shakes the mountains!
A second-stage charged Bull King Earth-Splitting Wave directly shocked all the bird monsters into a state of dizziness - he didn't dare to charge it to the third stage, mainly because he was afraid of collapsing the cave.
Then he started to fight and kill like a tiger entering a flock of sheep. His pair of bear paws tore apart these bird monsters as easily as catching chickens.
A sea of blood was flowing! The Drunken Sword Immortal used his bloody sword energy to kill people.
Shock wave! Haomie punched out with one fist, and the fist force blasted out layers of sound waves, directly shaking the bird demon's feathers to scatter and shattering its bones and flesh.
I want to become an immortal, wielding a giant axe and sweeping wildly.
The fondant steamed cake was shot with arrows from behind.
This group of bird monsters that fell to the ground were slaughtered completely one-sidedly.
"Damn it, I don't accept it, I don't accept it!" The crow spirit's eyes turned bloodshot as he looked at the one-sided scene, and the feathers on his body exploded.
Ghost curse—the wronged spirit is seeking revenge!
The several ghost servants surrounding it were instantly ignited, turning into three skull-shaped green ghost fires, which blasted towards the person blocking the door.
Zishan paddled for a long time, and when he finally got his chance to show off, he shouted excitedly, "Hey! This little monster can actually cast spells, let me do it!"
Spiritual cloud protects the body!
A ball of white mist instantly covered the cave entrance, and the emerald green ghost fire flew into the spiritual cloud, like a fireball entering water, and disappeared one after another.
The crow spirit was shocked and wanted to cast a spell again, but suddenly a knife flashed from behind and slashed at him.
Cut it in two with one stroke! Xiao Jie naturally stopped pretending at this moment, and launched a series of moves as smoothly as flowing water...
The battle lasted less than three minutes, and before long, the entire cave was filled with corpses.
It was a one-sided massacre, with high-level enemies attacking low-level monsters and the boss turning against them.
A flash of white light appeared, and Xiao Jie upgraded again.
Hehe, it feels so good. This kind of leveling up by closing the door and beating the dog is really comfortable.
At this moment, the battle was finally over, and everyone gathered around while touching the monster's body.
Ying Baiyu looked at everyone, still keeping a little alert. Fortunately, Xiao Jie had already greeted them, so no one took action. "Are these your companions? They are indeed warriors, but..."
"Why, is it still not enough?" Xiao Jie asked.
Ying Baiyu shook his head. "Although I have never seen the Monster Star Tower envoy, since he was sent alone, his strength must be strong. It is very likely that he is the strength of Monster King Ji. I am afraid he is not that easy to deal with."
Xiao Jie deeply agreed with this. Many times, what the NPC said was actually the background setting arranged by the system. If Ying Baiyu said so, it would mean that it would not be easy for their team to defeat the envoy of the Demon Star Tower.
But it seems that it is not impossible to fight.
"No hurry. I still have one day left. I will improve my strength first. Then I will be able to capture it easily. Brother Ying Baiyu, I still need your help. Can you give me a ride?"
"Where?"
Xiao Jie smiled and said, "Xuanming Mountain."
Xiao Jie had accepted a professional mission before, but he never dared to do it.
This is mainly because the ruins to be explored in this mission are located in the vast mountains of Canglinzhou. It is a high-level adventure map, and the system recommends an adventure level of 28-35.
Who knows what kind of monsters are there.
Xiao Jie wouldn't dare to explore alone.
Asking teammates for help is naturally one solution, but no one owes him anything. So why should you ask them to accompany you in such an adventurous endeavor?
Unless you spend a lot of money or do a huge favor.
But Xiao Jie naturally would not do such a thing.
So this task will have to be put aside for now.
I thought I would have to wait until I reached a higher level before doing it, but I didn't expect that I would have a great opportunity now. With Ying Baiyu, a BOSS who can fly and "carry people", I naturally don't have to worry about safety issues on the road.
Ying Baiyu was surprised when he heard this, "Xuanming Mountain? But the Xuanming Mountain in the Savage Mountains?"
"Yes, how come you know that place?"
"Of course I know. One of the main tasks of our Tianyu Army is to patrol Canglin Province. The Savage Mountains is one of the most dangerous areas in Canglin Province. There are countless mountains and hundreds of high mountains and rivers. Xuanming Mountain is one of them. In ancient times, it is said that there were Qi cultivators there to cultivate immortality and explore the way to become immortals... What are you going there for?"
"Of course it's to improve my strength and learn immortal techniques. This is also for Master Xiaoyue's mission. For the sake of the overall situation, Brother Ying, you won't refuse to help, right?"
Ying Baiyu sighed, "Do I have any other choice?"
Then he walked outside.
"You want to go on a mission alone?"
Ye Luo and I Yu Chengxian were both a little surprised.
“I have no choice. I either have to do this mission now or wait until I reach a higher level. To defeat the Emissary of the Demon Star Tower, I must improve my strength as much as possible. The more trump cards I have, the better. So I have to do this mission.
You guys should get ready, because tomorrow we're going to have a tough battle."
Everyone nodded. Seeing that Xiao Jie had actually subdued a BOSS was an eye-opener for everyone.
No matter how strong this BOSS is, its health alone is enough to confront the Messenger of the Demon Star Tower head-on.
At that time, it feels safer to let the BOSS fight the BOSS in the front and everyone else output in the back.
Being able to kill a BOSS higher than its level, the drops are absolutely amazing.
You have to be fully prepared.
Xiao Jie said goodbye to everyone and left the cave. Ying Baiyu used his fighting skill again - Eagle Flying in the Sky!
He grabbed Xiao Jie and flew towards the southwest.
Xiao Jie was looking at the map, indicating the flight direction, and checking the mission introduction.
Career mission: Explore the ruins.
Mission content: Deep in the ancient mountains of Canglin Prefecture, there is a long-lost mysterious valley, which is said to be one of the Taoist temples where ancient Qigong practitioners cultivated immortality and practiced Taoism. Although the Qigong practitioners in this temple did not achieve anything and eventually disappeared in the long river of history, according to the research of this association, the ruins still have great academic research value, and it is very likely that the secret method of using spiritual energy for ancient Qigong practices will be found in the ruins.
Please find the ruins and explore them in depth.
Mission reward: Qi Refining Secret Method x 3.
Three secret methods of refining Qi, the reward for this task is absolutely awesome.
Xiao Jie currently knows a total of three secret methods of refining Qi, all of which are the most basic, namely Qi healing, Qi spirit wave, and controlling Qi to protect the essence.
He had only used these three skills a few times, mainly because they consumed spiritual energy. It was not easy for him to accumulate this little spiritual energy, and it was not enough even for upgrading, so he couldn't just waste it.
However, the effect of this Qi-refining secret technique is still very good. If used at a critical moment, it can actually turn the tide of a battle.
This time, if you want to kill monsters above your level, you must learn it.
At this moment, Xiao Jie was flying towards Xuanming Mountain on the giant eagle.
Looking down, you can see the vast mountains, treacherous jungles, towering ancient trees, and even the occasional giant monster wandering in the forest.
Xiao Jie thought to himself that it was a good thing that he had found such a free laborer. If he had just relied on himself to slowly explore the map, he would have suffered a lot.
As the mark of the ruins on the map got closer and closer, Xiao Jie became excited.
"Go east a little, then west a little, and you'll find the mountain ahead. There we are, right here! Let's go down."
Xuanming Mountain is a circular mountain with a lush and crisp bamboo forest on the mountain, which looks particularly refreshing in the deep green.
Ying Baiyu slowly descended, and when he was still more than ten meters from the ground, he threw Xiao Jie down.
Xiao Jie immediately took a defensive posture along the way, but there were no monsters around. Instead, he saw several dilapidated bamboo buildings standing in the bamboo forest.
Surrounded by mountains, it seems quite quiet.
"Where is this place?" Ying Baiyu also landed and looked around vigilantly.
"This is the place where the ancient Qi cultivators practiced."
"That legend is actually true?" Ying Baiyu was obviously a little surprised.
"Of course it's true. Let's go and see if there are any treasures left here."
The two of them strolled along the path in the woods and first took a walk around the bamboo houses. Unfortunately, these bamboo houses had been abandoned long ago and there was nothing valuable inside.
Then he wandered around the bamboo forest and found some scattered herbs.
Unfortunately, they are all very common and their value is much lower than what were dug out in Konglao Mountain.
As they walked, Xiao Jie casually asked, "Brother Ying, how did you know about Qi Refiners?"
"Of course it was taught by the teacher. It is also recorded in the Canglin Prefecture Annals."
Oh! Xiao Jie was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the education level in Canglin Prefecture was quite good.
"What does the book say?"
"In ancient times, all the Qigong practitioners were noble and vain. They sought immortality and participated in the way of the immortals. In order to achieve immortality, they would do anything to hide in the deep mountains and old forests, eat clouds and dew, wear feathers, and act like wild men...
However, most of them ended up in failure in the end. Thousands of years of practice were in vain. How are ordinary mortals any different?
Occasionally, there are one or two who achieve immortality, but they often no longer consider themselves human, and they go up to heaven or down to earth, hiding their heads and tails, so that even a person cannot be seen. Even if they have great abilities, they are ultimately of no benefit to the great cause of mankind."
