Chapter 224 Reward? punish?
"Captain Long, thank you." Li Hongche made a knightly salute to Long Dangdang.
On the battlefield at that time, Long Dangdang even gave up his companions to rescue him first. This friendship deeply moved the mithril pedestal knight.
It can be seen from the subsequent battle that if Long Dangdang chose to join forces with Ling Menglu, Ling Menglu might not have to pay such a high price, and they would also be able to defeat the eighth-level deceased. For Li Hongche, if he continued to use the sacrifice skill for a longer time, he would probably not be able to interrupt the skill and would have to really sacrifice. It can be said that Long Dangdang saved his life.
“You’re welcome, aren’t we demon hunters all Paoze? You can choose to sacrifice yourself and your teammates to protect us, and of course we will do our best to help you fight against powerful enemies.”
Yes, Long Dangdang was moved by Li Hongche. If it was purely selfish, it would be the safest and most likely option for him to join forces with Ling Menglu and use the Power of Light Pill to instantly eliminate the powerful enemies on his side and then help Li Hongche. Knock off opponents. But in that case, Li Hongche might not be able to keep it.
Therefore, Long Dangdang's tactic was to help Li Hongche complete the surprise attack, and then let Long Kongkong absorb the power of the eighth-level deceased and feed it back to himself. On the other hand, Ling Menglu's explosion of Light Power Pills could at least temporarily control the enemy. In fact, there were more to come. Yue Li and Tao Linlin assisted her, and Long Dangdang had enough time to come back. But he also didn't expect that the power of the Light Power Pill to destroy the soul was so powerful, and the eighth-level deceased was killed directly by Ling Menglu. If it were a level 8 human being or a level 9 monster, it would definitely not be possible. But undead creatures are too dependent on their souls, so this is the reason why such a scene occurs.
There is nothing left to clean up on the battlefield. The Praise of Light and the Elemental Storm have turned the remains of the abducted heroic spirits back to dust. Theoretically, they have completed this mission.
"Go to Qingpeng, everyone, return." Li Hongche gave the order. It was time to go back and resume his life.
After a moment, four huge green rocs rose up again and returned to the Holy City.
"Meng Lu, you are really amazing! The way Sang Liuying looked at you just now was wrong. Hee hee. She seemed to be quite shocked." Ming Xi sat on Qingpeng's back Shang said with a smile.
Ling Menglu smiled and said: "It's just a fluke. I didn't expect that the Holy Hammer Spiritual Furnace and the Light Power Pill could have such a strong attack effect on undead creatures."
Ming Xi stuck out his tongue and said: "If you reach the eighth level and can truly master this epic killer weapon, you won't be able to sweep thousands of armies in front of the undead creatures. Hey, Captain, why are you a little unhappy? ?”
Long Dangdang was indeed frowning slightly. Hearing this, he said: “This is not a good thing. If Monroe kills the eighth-level dead warrior, the undead creatures will definitely pay attention to her. Still Kongkong, his own abilities can restrain the undead creatures to a great extent. I am afraid that the undead strong ones will not give up. You have said that if Monroe reaches the eighth level, he will be able to kill everyone, and the undead creatures will definitely be able to think of it. ”
Ling Menglu immediately recalled the scene when Long Kongkong was attacked and killed, and her heart tightened slightly. As their strength increases, the threat to undead creatures will undoubtedly become greater. So, if we target them again, we don’t know what kind of powerful undead creatures will appear to attack.
They are different now from the past. In the past, they were in the Spiritual Furnace Academy. There were many powerful people in the academy. As long as they did not leave the Spiritual Furnace Academy, their safety would not be a problem. No matter how powerful the undead creatures are, they would not dare to kill people in the Spiritual Furnace Academy. The Spiritual Furnace Academy has many spiritual furnaces of wisdom and many powerful people to protect them. It is also next to the Temple Alliance headquarters. This kind of power is enough to protect them.
But now that they are demon hunters, they will inevitably have to carry out missions in the future, and they will also lose the protection of the academy.
“After we go back, report it to the headquarters. Based on this performance, we will see if the headquarters can think of a solution. With the strength that Monroe showed today, she shouldn’t actually become a demon hunter. That’s it. It’s time to retreat and cultivate in the priest’s temple until the day you become a saint.” Wang Changxin said a few words.
Ling Menglu smiled casually and said: "According to the tradition of the Six Great Temples, no top powerhouse has ever grown up in a greenhouse. Pressure is also a driving force. As long as they can't kill me once, I will grow. Once. We try our best to be fully prepared, but we must not be afraid."
At this moment, she is still in a weak state, but she looks heroic.
It didn’t take long and Qingpeng returned.
Li Hongche went to hand in the task, and the other teams could leave first. After the task is settled, it will naturally appear on the child spirit crystal. Mission rewards will be distributed by the Meritorious Headquarters.
"Monroe." A cold voice sounded. Ling Menglu knew who was calling her without even looking.
She turned around and looked at the good sisters who had grown up together and grown strong together, "What's wrong?"
Zisan Liuying looked at her with complicated eyes and said, "Is it epic equipment?"
"Yes." Ling Menglu nodded gently.
Zisang Liuying was silent for a moment before saying: "Congratulations."
Ling Menglu smiled and said: "It's just a coincidence. You have also become a lot stronger. Can you control six elements at the same time?"
Zisang Liuying said: "It's still a bit reluctant. Wait until I reach the seventh level, it should be It's under control."
"Well, come on," Ling Menglu said with a smile.
"Well, you too." Zisan Liuying looked at her and then at Long Dangdang beside him. An unspeakable emotion suddenly surged in his heart. He opened his mouth, but in the end, he turned around and left without saying anything.
She regretted it, yes, she really regretted it.
If I hadn't been so proud back then, if I had worked hard to find a way, maybe now I should be on the same team with Monroe, plus Long Dangdang, who has great potential, and Long Kongkong, who has strange abilities. . If the seven of them formed a demon hunting team, they would probably become a legend.
But now she and she are drifting apart. When she was with Long Dangdang and Long Kongkong, it didn't get worse but got better and better. The Demon Hunting Group, which he had originally looked down upon, was now always above him.
During the nine months when Long Dangdang and Long Kongkong were banned, I tried my best to distance myself from them, but today, nine months later, the distance does not seem to have been closed. . This was the first time in her life that she had such an emotion as regret. She didn't like this emotion very much, but she had to admit that she really regretted it!
Long Dangdang and his friends returned to the station near the big auction house. Except for Ling Menglu, everyone else was in good condition. Long Kongkong filtered out the eighth-level dead through the Yuanvortex Spirit Furnace. All the spiritual power was shared with everyone. Although this kind of spiritual power cannot be directly converted into part of one's own strength, the supplementary consumption is excellent, and it can also produce a certain transformation to a certain extent.
Long Dangdang and Long Kongkong practiced together with Ling Menglu. With the blessing of the God Praying Cangyue Angel, their recovery speed would definitely be much faster. In the blink of an eye, two days have passed, and Ling Menglu's condition has recovered by half, and her mental injuries have basically stabilized. With the help of Long Dangdang and Long Kongkong, she will be able to recover in about four or five days.
Everyone has summarized the merits obtained by completing the emergency mission. Except that the mission rewards have not yet been distributed, killing undead creatures all has merits. Among them, Ling Menglu was equivalent to killing an eighth-level dead warrior alone and received an astonishing 30,000 merit points. Long Dangdang assisted Li Hongche in killing an eighth-level warrior. Because he played a decisive role, he was allocated 18,000 Thousands of meritorious deeds. Others participated in killing the seventh- and sixth-level dead, and received more than 5,000 merit points.
Previously, the merits of upgrading to the general-level Demon Hunting Group were almost exhausted, but now the total merits of the 19115897 Demon Hunting Group have exceeded 50,000. You know, this amount of merit is at least enough to add another piece of brilliance-level equipment to everyone.
What's more, the merits for the emergency mission have not been distributed yet. They were ambushed by the enemy. The difficulty of the task had already exceeded the original level but they were able to win. In the eyes of everyone, they should get more merit for such a task.
"Brother, it's been two days, why haven't there been any merit rewards? We have turned the tide this time and failed! Why should we be rewarded with 100,000 or 80,000 merits?" I'm making a fortune. Can I be promoted to the commander-level demon hunting group?" Long Kongkong said happily.
Long Dangdang glanced at him, "No rush, just wait."
At this moment, the Ziling Crystal on his body made a slight buzz, "Ding."
At the crisp sound, everyone's spirit crystals were slightly shaken.
Long Dang subconsciously focused his spiritual consciousness on his own child spirit crystal.
Zi Lingjing: The 19115897 Demon Hunting Group encountered a strong enemy ambush during an emergency mission. It was able to cooperate with the 112117 Demon Hunting Group to repel the enemy and performed well. However, team member Ling Menglu and Zi San Liuying, the leader of another general-level demon hunting group, deliberately destroyed the remains of heroic spirits, seriously violating federal regulations and were prosecuted by the Acropolis Temple federal government for desecrating heroic spirits. The headquarters protested and finally decided that the merits should be balanced against the faults, no reward would be given, and Ling Menglu's 10,000 merit points would be deducted as punishment.
At this time, only Long Dangdang and Long Kongkong were in the courtyard of the station. Naturally, Long Kongkong also saw the message from the Ziling Crystal. He looked up at Long Dangdang and couldn't help but open his mouth wide and murmured: " Is the Federation crazy? ”
He found that Long Dangdang's eyes were changing, not with anger, but with a calm and cold feeling.
"Bang!" The door opened, and a figure rushed out fiercely.
"What is this? What does this mean from the headquarters? We obviously did a great job, so why are we punished? Where is the justice?" Ming Xi roared indignantly.
The other doors also opened, and Wang Changxin, Tao Linlin, and Yue Li also walked out.
"Why is this happening?" Tao Linlin said with a frown.
Yue Li pursed her red lips and said, "This is not fair. We were almost wiped out during this mission. Aren't you afraid that we will be disappointed if the headquarters decides like this?"
At this moment, Ling Menglu, whose face was still a little pale, came out of the main entrance of the north room. She looked very calm at this time, "Don't worry, everyone. I'm sorry that this incident has affected everyone's ability to complete the mission and obtain merit."
She came to everyone, sighed softly, and said: "Actually, when we did that, Zisang and I both thought that such a situation would happen. Now the debate is very fierce. Regarding the heroic spirit How to deal with the remains. Nowadays, cemeteries everywhere, especially those where heroic spirits are buried, have become the main targets for attacks by undead creatures. Once the attack is successful, we will not only have to work hard to protect them. We also have to face the heroic spirits who have been resurrected and turned into the dead. "
"The strong men of the older generation have a deep obsession with the remains of these heroic spirits. However, the undead creatures are constantly expanding, and the threat is also increasing. It is getting bigger and bigger. The reason why Zisang and I did this was to show our attitude. We are considered the leaders of the new generation of magic temples and priest temples. Only by re-cremating the remains can the ancestors and heroic spirits be truly undisturbed. They sacrificed everything to protect mankind. If there are spirits in the sky who know that they will become a part of the destruction of mankind, I think they will never be willing. . The punishment this time should be the pressure brought by the older generation, and the headquarters can’t do anything about it.”
"You are right, I support you." Long Dangdang expressed his stance without hesitation.
Ling Menglu smiled, her eyes a little more charming, "I knew you would support me."
Long Kongkong said unwillingly: "Then forget it. ? We clearly have merit, but now it has become a fault. Even if we don’t give rewards, our merits will be deducted. Isn’t the headquarters afraid of us feeling cold? ”
Long Dangdang said: "Of course we can't just let it go."
Ling Menglu's eyes narrowed, "Dangdang, this matter is too sensitive. It is not suitable to do anything at this time."
Long Dangdang smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry, I am sensible, but no matter what, I can't let you be bullied in vain."
"That's right, justice must be upheld. We are not wrong!" Ming Xi said with an excited voice.
Taolinlin said: "It's too irritating, captain, just tell me what to do. I listen to you."
Long Dangdang whispered a few words, and the eyes of the others suddenly changed. Something has changed.
Long Kongkong couldn't help but said: "As expected of you! If you are playing dirty tricks, you still have to be cautious."
Long Dangdang glared at him angrily, "You talk so much, you can do the preliminary work. Ready.”
