Chapter 288 It’s hard to avoid the demon star, so don’t avoid it
Xiao Jie let I Want to Become an Immortal and Ye Luo move freely first, and he and Ying Baiyu came to the gate of Xiaoyue Palace together.
Looking at the palace in front of him, Ying Baiyu was so excited that his whole body was trembling.
I finally came back, I never thought I would come back one day...
"Come on, Brother Ying, I'll take you to see the real person." Xiao Jie said hello to the guard, and the two of them walked in directly.
It's great to have such a high reputation. No notification is required to enter Xiaoyue Palace.
The journey was smooth until they reached the door of the inner hall, only to be stopped by the Canglang guards.
"I have something important to report to the real person, please pass it on to me."
The guard nodded and was about to leave, but he glanced at Ying Baiyu again. The wings on Ying Baiyu's back were really eye-catching, and he looked like he had been a monster before.
But fortunately, the recruitment notice has already taken effect. Now the system has determined that Ying Baiyu is an NPC, and no conflict has been caused.
Soon the guard came out. "The real person wants you to go in immediately - and you, Captain Ying."
The two entered the main hall, and Master Xiao Yue sat on the throne as usual.
When Ying Baiyu saw it, he knelt down on one knee and paid homage without saying a word.
"Master Xiaoyue! Tianyu Military Academy Lieutenant Ying Baiyu has come to see you."
Master Xiaoyue put one hand on his face, looked at Ying Baiyu and sighed, "I have heard about you, but I feel sorry for you..."
"Real person..." Ying Baiyu's words brought tears to his eyes and he was choked with sobs.
Just when Xiao Jie thought he was going to stage a show of being a polite corporal, Master Xiaoyue's tone suddenly became stern: "Why didn't you come to me when something happened? But you had to rely on your bravery to do that reckless thing Something?”
"Real person - I was wrong."
"It's okay to know that you are wrong. Killing is not wrong. What is wrong is that you acted rashly. If you came back and informed me at that time, I would issue a warrant to you. So what if you kill a rich man? You can even kill his entire family to avenge your father. You did it. You caused me a lot of trouble by doing things without permission.
Alas, forget it, everything is over. You contributed a lot this time. Even if you have made up for it, I will take you to the southern front to defend the border. ”
"Thank you, Master." Ying Baiyu bowed solemnly and finally returned.
Master Xiaoyue looked at Xiao Jie again: "As for you - haha, I have to say, you really surprised me. I didn't expect that there are people like you who can do things like you among the returnees. You completed my work in just two days." "
Xiao Jie was a little surprised. He hadn't handed in the task yet, so how could someone know about it?
"Does the real person know that I completed the task?"
"Of course you know, I have been paying attention to you."
ah? Xiao Jie said in his heart: Why do you pay attention to me?
However, I saw that Master Xiaoyue did not explain, but just said: "Give me the head."
Xiao Jie hurriedly opened his backpack and right-clicked to submit the task item.
A strangely deformed white-headed skull suddenly appeared in the hands of Master Xiaoyue.
"Yes, he is indeed a bastard from the Demon Star Tower. He can't hide his evil aura, and he looks like a ghost." Master Xiaoyue looked at the two bloody pupils on the head with disgust.
"Don't think that everything will be fine if you die. If you fall into my hands, the dead will have to speak - Military Master Wu."
Just behind him, in the darkness, a man wearing a black feather robe walked out, holding a staff and wearing a bamboo hat to cover his face. A black beak could be seen under the black curtain of the bamboo hat.
‘Crow Taoist’ Wu Yong (Detao Black Crow): Level 44. HP 3400.
"What are your orders, Master?" the Taoist Crow asked in a hoarse voice.
"Pull out this guy's soul and torture him carefully. I want to know what the hell the Demon Star Tower is doing."
"I obey the Master's instructions." The Taoist Crow took the head and headed towards the back of the palace.
"As for you, you have done a good job this time, so you should be rewarded greatly. This "Phoenix Mind Sutra" was promised before. Just keep it yourself. Tell me, what else do you want? As long as I Don’t hesitate to reward whatever is convenient for you.”
System prompt: Complete the mission [Hunting the Demonic Star Tower Messenger] and obtain the basic reward [Phoenix Heart Sutra]. Master Xiaoyue's favorability towards you will increase by 10 points.
Xiao Jie was overjoyed and said that it was just as he had guessed. It was really cool that he could actually collect the reward for this mission by himself.
And it actually increased the favorability of Master Xiaoyue, which is a bit strange. Could it be said that the favorability of the leader of this camp can also be maxed out?
Let’s put away the third volume of the Heavenly Book first. Now the purpose of coming to Canglin Prefecture will be fulfilled.
As for extra rewards, Xiao Jie had already thought about what he wanted before coming.
At present, he still lacks a lot of things, including monster inner elixirs, advanced internal skills, epic weapons, powerful magical weapons, elixirs, and Taoist scriptures that increase understanding...
"Does the real person have a large amount of monster inner elixirs in his hands? Will you give me ten or twenty of them?" Xiao Jie also opened his mouth and asked for prices.
The master Xiaoyue looked helpless, "Haha, you are so bold. This monster inner elixir is the most important thing for monsters. It is not a big cabbage. It's okay to say two or three, but there is no more."
Sure enough it's not that easy.
Three monster inner elixirs are still missing.
"Can you have a peerless internal skill and teach me one?"
Master Xiao Yue shook his head: "I don't use any internal skills myself, so I can't teach you. I have a few internal skills secret books in my hand, but there are no peerless magic skills... there are three good internal skills here. If you are interested, you can Choose one as your reward
With that said, he waved his hand and three secret books appeared in front of Xiao Jie.
An option bar suddenly popped up in front of Xiao Jie's eyes.
Option 1: I want this book "Dragon Subduing Heart Technique" (Rare and Miraculous Skills), please give me the book from a real person.
Option 2: I want this book "The Secret of Immortality" (Rare and Miraculous Skills), please give me the book from a real person.
Option 3: I want this book "Magic Magic" (Rare and Miraculous Skills), please give me the book from a real person.
Option 4: I think it’s better to think about it again….
Xiao Jie scanned the three secret books. It has to be said that these three secret books are quite good. If they were placed in an auction house, they would cost hundreds of taels of silver.
The problem is that I have spent so much effort and trouble, and have used up hundreds of spiritual energy, so why not exchange it for a rare book? I always feel a bit shortchanged.
Let's think about it more carefully.
Decisively chose 4.
"Zhenren, I think it's better to think about it again."
"It's up to you. Just tell me when you think about it. If it's convenient, I can reward you. If it's inconvenient, it's useless for you to ask for it. By the way, I want to see the results of the torture. Do you want it? Let’s take a look together?”
"That's exactly what I meant."
Of course Xiao Jie wants to see the result, maybe it can trigger a special task or something.
At the very least, it would be good to know some game information.
Master Xiaoyue glanced at Ying Baiyu again, "You don't want to come anymore. Go find your general to report."
Ying Baiyu agreed and retreated. Xiao Jie followed Master Xiaoyue into the back hall, and saw that in the dark hall, Taoist Crow was using the secret technique of soul-searching on the head.
More than a dozen dark green crows were flying in the air, swooping down from time to time, and biting the soul of the man. These crows seemed to be some kind of ghost spell, and they could directly cause harm to the ghost. It looks very powerful.
With each peck, something like misty black gauze was torn off from the remnant soul, floating in the air, turning into three-dimensional pictures, which seemed to be some memories of the past.
Xiao Jie thought to himself that it seemed that the crow's natural magic was a ghost spell, which was a good match.
The soul of the man-faced man was being tortured, screaming repeatedly, but the soul did not have a normal appearance like ordinary monsters or humans. Instead, it was like a ball of erratic black smoke, sometimes like a human, sometimes like a huge giant The bat is constantly changing its form, twisting and squirming.
Master Xiaoyue looked disgusted and explained: "The monsters in the Monster Star Tower are all such monsters. Even if they die, they don't look like human beings. How can you be a strategist? There will be results."
"Don't worry, real person. Under my spell, if you discipline it obediently, even if you don't say anything, you can extract some memories and piece together the answer." As he spoke, he waved his staff again, and several shadow crows swooped down. Next, there was a burst of carving and biting, and the remaining soul screamed repeatedly.
"Stop biting, don't bite, I said, I said."
"Tell me, what exactly is the purpose of Yao Star Tower sending you here? If I explain it clearly, I will give you a happy life. If I don't understand it, I will keep peeling the results out of your soul."
The broken soul regrouped into a human face and squeezed out a twisted smile.
"Master Xiao Yue, I never thought I would be lucky enough to meet you. Please listen carefully. The Demon Star Tower sent me to contact the rebellious demon kings in various places, cooperate internally and externally, and defeat Canglin State."
"Oh, how to do it specifically?"
"I summoned all the demons and worked together to build a 'sky-stealing formation'. Using my demon star tower's secret method of stealing the sky and exchanging the sun, I opened a door leading to the demon star tower. At that time, the army of the demon star tower will pour into the Canglin through the gate. State, the southern wall defense line will be destroyed without any attack, hahaha, now you know, how about it, are you satisfied?”
“Where is the Heaven Stealing Formation?”
"In the Abyss of Hellfire."
"It turned out to be in that ghost place. How many monster leaders did you recruit in total?"
"Twelve of you, as well as hundreds of big demons and thousands of small demons, are all gathered in the Abyss of Hell Fire. The sky-stealing formation can be built in less than a month. When the time comes, I will kill you all. Jing, hehehe.
Why should Master Xiaoyue be stubborn? Why not join me in the Demon Star Tower? Our demon clan should aspire to conquer the Nine Provinces and dominate the world. You are also a monster yourself, so why bother to block the general trend of the world for those humans?
The fourth disaster has come, this is..."
"What a fuss!"
Master Xiaoyue waved his hand suddenly, and a piercing cold light shot out. The black mist let out a scream, and instantly disappeared.
Crow Taoist was speechless for a moment, "Master, he may be lying to you. Why don't you let me ask for a while?"
Xiao Jie also said at the side: "This guy said it so easily. Is there some conspiracy?"
This Ren Mian Zhe surrendered too easily. He hadn't even resisted for ten minutes. I always felt that an inhuman creature like Ren Mian Zhe didn't give in so easily.
He finally told the truth, obviously with some purpose.
"No, what he said is true." Master Xiaoyue said with a very solemn expression.
"I have received a lot of information before. In addition to attacking villages and towns everywhere, monsters are bluffing, and many monster leaders have disappeared. The Abyss of Hellfire... Not long ago, a group of returnees discovered some monsters there. Signs..."
"Humph, although there is no conspiracy, there is a conspiracy."
Xiao Jie asked in confusion: "What do you mean, real person?"
"Thousands of monsters have gathered in the Hellfire Abyss. The ordinary local defenders are useless. A large army must be dispatched to exterminate them.
But now that Canglin Prefecture’s army is defending on the southern front, it is already quite difficult to resist the attack of Yao Star Tower. If I deploy troops, there will be loopholes in the defense line. When the time comes, the Yao Star Tower army will take advantage of the opportunity to attack. Once the south wall is broken, Canglin Prefecture will be defeated. It's dangerous. ”
"Then why not dispatch the army of Giant Wood City?"
"Haha, there is no army in the giant wooden city. There are only a few hundred people left to survive. Otherwise, why would I have such a headache to deal with the monsters and bandits everywhere? I really don't have the skills to do all the work."
Xiao Jie was also worried for Master Xiaoyue after hearing this.
From what she said, it seems that the situation in Canglin Prefecture is full of crises and stretched thin. "What should I do?"
Master Xiaoyue's face was solemn, "This matter can only be dealt with by me personally, and it can be resolved quickly. As long as we act fast enough and deal with the monsters in the Abyss of Fire within half a day, this crisis will be resolved naturally."< br>
"Master Xiaoyue wants to conquer Mingling Peak alone?"
Xiao Jie thought to himself: Do you want to be so fierce? Even if you are level 59, it feels mysterious to be able to fight thousands of monsters alone.
They are also led by monster leaders. According to Renmenzhe, there are twelve BOSS level monsters.
It is precisely because of this that Xiao Jie himself does not dare to ask for help. How many people will it take to defeat him?
Master Xiao Yue smiled sweetly, "Haha, of course I won't be so reckless. I'm afraid I have to ask for help this time. Military advisor, please send a crow messenger to send a message to my old friends."
After saying that, he looked at Xiao Jie.
"This time I will ask some experts to help. Little brother, you can be considered an insider in this matter. As the saying goes, if something is not kept secret, one will lose one's identity, and if one does not keep it secret, one will lose one's ministers. Before this crisis is dealt with, I'm afraid you Can't leave.
It's not that I don't trust you, but the stakes are too high to be careless. Will you stay here and wait for me to come back, or will you go with me? ”
A dialog box suddenly popped up in front of me.
Option 1: I’d better stay in Xiaoyue Palace and wait for the real person to come back.
Option 2: I am willing to go to the road with a real person (accept the task: bravely enter the Abyss of Hellfire).
Xiao Jie thought for a moment and said: "Master, I am also willing to help."
This time it was Master Xiaoyue's turn to be surprised, "Are you sure? There are so many monsters in the Abyss of Fire, they are extremely dangerous. With your skills, I'm afraid you won't be able to help."
Xiao Jie said with emotion: "Even the meager power can still be of some use. Although the conspiracy of the Demon Star Tower is against Canglin State, if they really succeed, the entire Jiuzhou will be in danger. I am determined to conquer demons and eliminate them all my life." Devil, let this world be restored to its original glory, how can you stand by and watch when something like this happens?
Even if you throw your head and blood, you still have to go through it.
If it really doesn't work, I will naturally find a way to escape. ”
There is naturally a reason why Xiao Jie wants to follow. In such a big scene, how many monster inner elixirs will be revealed. Picking up a few at that time will be worth the price of admission.
It's definitely not enough to fight head-on with your own strength, but if it's just to protect yourself, it should be fine. If it doesn't work, you can still use the light-escape talisman to escape.
Of course, there is another reason, but it is because of the hexagram left by the crazy Taoist.
It's hard to avoid the demon star, so don't force it... Now that I think about it, could this demon star refer to the demon star tower? Otherwise, how could I have faced off against the Demonic Star Tower while doing this mission?
Since you can't avoid it, you might as well face it head on, and you might gain something unexpected.
Master Xiaoyue couldn't help but show admiration after hearing this, "I didn't expect that there would be a hero like you among the returnees... Well, then you can come with me."
System prompt: Accept the mission [Bravely Entering the Abyss of Hellfire], and Master Xiaoyue’s favorability towards you will increase by 10 points.
