The sky had just dawned, and a group of onlookers surrounded the open ground at the entrance and exit of Xuanshou Valley.
Among the onlookers, most of them were wearing rough chain mail, durable light heavy crossbows, and short swords. These people were all low-level mercenaries who made a living by hunting mysterious beasts near the Hundred Beasts Mountain. They are willing to do anything if they don't risk their lives.
This time period on weekdays should be when the mercenaries replenish fresh water and medicinal materials and prepare to set off, but today, the situation is a little different.
Under a eucalyptus tree that could only be hugged by three or four people, hung a naked man with a stinky sock stuffed in his mouth and only a fig leaf on his lower body, the cloth was dripping with blood.
"It's Qi Feng from the Shadowmouse mercenary group, why did he look like a ghost?" Someone among the mercenaries recognized Qi Feng.
The morning sun shone on Qi Feng's face, he stared in horror and groaned.
No one stepped forward to put him down. The Shadowmouse mercenary group was used to thieves in this area, and their reputation was very mediocre.
"Get out of the way," after an angry reprimand, a mercenary standing in the front row was pushed away roughly.
"Looking for death..." Before the word "death" came out, the mercenary of the Xuan Sanzhong who was about the same strength as Qi Feng suddenly fell silent after seeing the powerful profound energy emanating from the person who came.
There was a faint red mysterious light all over the person who came. The red mysterious light means that the person who came is practicing the fire attribute profound art. The Five Elements Mysterious Art, that can only be practiced by profound practitioners of Yuxuan and above.
On the outskirts of Baishou Mountain, this kind of place where only low-level profound beasts can appear, the appearance of Jade Xuanwu practitioners is comparable to middle-level profound beasts. With just one hand, it is enough to sweep away dozens of Renxuan warriors. . So this group of Xuanwu practitioners are all silent.
Walking out of the crowd was the female mercenary who had disappeared last night, and she had changed into another outfit.
After a good night's sleep, she rushed to the free market early in the morning just to see "Yue Jinghua" in distress, but unexpectedly she saw Qi Feng's ghostly appearance.
With a wave of the jade palm, the wind from the palm shook the leaves of the eucalyptus tree, and the rope on the tree broke immediately. At that moment, the place where the female mercenary landed collapsed into a hollow.
The female mercenary was taken aback, the ground turned into a big hole, and there were dozens of sharpened wooden stakes in the hole, but fortunately she was calm enough, a beautiful harpy swallow turned over and fell on the ground. It passed a little over the picket and fell to the ground.
If the female mercenary's reaction was half a minute slower, she would be trapped in a hornet's nest in an instant.
The woman panicked, threw the dagger in her hand, and the rope tied to Qi Feng's hand was cut immediately, she was about to catch Qi Feng.
The dense eucalyptus leaves trembled strangely, and a few black shadows rushed out like poisonous bees, attacking the female mage's throat, chest, below the navel, abdomen, and knees.
"Hidden weapon!" The female warrior who knew something was wrong had to leave Qi Feng behind, and with her hands and feet together, several black blades shot out.
In an instant, the red light under the tree was blazing, and the hidden weapon collided with the black blade.
Poor Qi Feng got no response and fell into the big hole. He didn't even have time to let out a muffled cry before he was poked to pieces.
The female warrior is also very knowledgeable. When resisting attacks from multiple angles, she also saw the true face of the hidden weapons attacking from all directions. Arrows, this kind of poisonous arrows are extremely lethal when they see blood seal their throats.
Dozens of arrows covered many vital parts of her body. If she hadn't already broken through the Human Profound Realm, and her five orifices were clear, she might have been plotted against.
Even so, the female warrior fell down in a state of embarrassment, and her robe was torn in several places.
Yue Jinghua? It couldn't be Yue Jinghua, she was just a piece of trash that couldn't even condense her profound energy, there was absolutely no way she could catch Qi Feng, let alone set such a vicious trap.
Someone must have saved her.
The female warrior stared coldly at Qi Feng, who had already passed away, and took a quick look in the crowd, but found no suspicious person, let alone the grimace of "Yue Jinghua".
Failed, next. . . The female warrior pondered for a moment, and then the beautiful face under the mask returned to normal.
The Mountain of Beasts is huge, and it is obviously not easy to find Yue Jinghua who got separated from the school's trial team, but it doesn't matter, as long as that person is still in Xuanji Academy, Yue Jinghua must be admitted to the law school , if she wants to be admitted to the law school, she must obtain a second-level mysterious beast pill or a plant spiritual core, which is not so easy to obtain.
Yue Jinghua, let's wait and see, I want to see if you can return to the capital alive.
The female warrior left Qi Feng's body behind and walked away.
Several mercenaries onlookers saw the affection of fellow mercenaries, dragged Qi Feng out of the pit, and buried them hastily in a wasteland outside the Valley of Beasts. The mercenaries who die in this area every year There are as many as a thousand people.
After the crowd dispersed, there was a person hiding in a cluster of undergrowth not far away.
From the appearance of the female mercenary to her departure, during the entire process of breaking the trap, Yue Jinghua hid aside, concealing her breath, and no one found her whereabouts.
The unidentified female mercenary was much more powerful than she imagined. If Qi Feng and others who died under her were toddler babies, and she was a child who had just learned to walk with the martial arts in her previous life, then Yuxuan Nvxuanzhe is a child who can already run.
Today's Yue Jinghua is by no means an opponent of the opponent.
But sooner or later, she will retaliate against that person ten times or even a hundred times.
After interrogating Qi Feng to no avail last night, Yue Jinghua only pressed for the news that the real black hand who framed "Yue Jinghua" behind the scenes might appear at the free market at dawn.
After using the limited time to set up the trap, she waited aside and sorted out the remaining memories of "Yue Jinghua".
The continent where "Yue Jinghua" lives is called Canglong Continent. Canglong Continent is a mysterious ancient continent. The sky above the mainland is filled with endless mysterious spiritual energy. Under the influence of this mysterious spiritual energy, the lifespan of ordinary residents in the mainland can reach eighty years old. There are still a small number of special people on the mainland, who claim to be the sons of the gods.
The innate physique of the sons of the gods is different from that of ordinary people, and they can transform the mysterious spirit energy floating in the sky above the mainland into their own mysterious power. They are honored by the residents of the mainland as Xuanwu Zhe.
In addition, due to the presence of aura in the sky above the continent, the plants and animals on the continent are also different from the creatures on the earth. Some of their higher beings can even take human form and possess human intelligence. No matter how high or low, these creatures are unified. They are called Xuan Beast and Spirit Wood.
"Yue Jinghua" was originally a member of the "Son of the Gods", and "she" was born as an aristocrat of the Dragon War Empire, a powerful country in the Eastern Continent. For many years, she has been deeply loved by her family. Because "she" has some talent in profound energy, "she" has received the education of a mysterious warrior from an early age, which is no different from that of men. However, these educations are mostly just textbook knowledge, " She's never really practiced it.
The reason why she entered Baishou Mountain where mysterious beasts gathered was because "she" was unable to condense profound energy, and suffered family bankruptcy. Seek a cure.
In order to obtain the entrance qualification to the Royal Xuanji Academy this time, "Yue Jinghua"'s mother sold part of her dowry to raise "her" equipment and expenses. "She" must pass the trial, and the requirement of the trial is to obtain a second-level mysterious core or spiritual core.
While sorting out his memory, Yue Jinghua also discovered that there are many secrets hidden in this seemingly garbage body.
First of all, "Yue Jinghua" is not really a waste, "she" is very smart, and "she" clearly remembers that before she was eleven years old, she learned all the basic martial arts that existed on the Canglong Continent. For some reason, after she was poisoned at the age of thirteen, she could no longer condense her profound energy.
Secondly, and the most important discovery, "Yue Jinghua"'s dantian was not damaged, "her" dantian just couldn't be used.
In order to find out the secrets in "Yue Jinghua", the reborn Yue Jinghua, also known as Yue Xiaoqi, walked into a grocery store in Liberty Market.
As the main supply point outside Baishou Mountain, the free market has complete facilities, including a weapon store selling various weapons and armor, restaurants and restaurants providing accommodation, a pharmacy for supplying medicinal materials, and a store specializing in the purchase of various mysterious weapons. A grocery store for beast tokens.
These shops have a common feature, they are all built on trees, which can effectively defend against the sneak attacks of some ground mysterious beasts at night.
"Old Summer Grocery Store" is a very inconspicuous general grocery store in Liberty Market. Its store location is somewhat remote, built on a century-old pine tree at the northernmost point of the Freedom Market.
When the female customer walked into the grocery store, the owner of the grocery store, Lao Xia, as usual, was wiping an old book that was placed in the most conspicuous place of his store, which was newly purchased by him.
The wooden door of the grocery store was pushed open, "Boss, I need a set of silver needles for acupuncture."
Lao Xia raised the reading glasses on the bridge of his nose. He is over sixty years old and a little presbyopic. After seeing the appearance of the visitor, Lao Xia asked enthusiastically.
"Dear guest, what do you mean by silver needles for acupuncture? I haven't heard of them?" Lao Xia was in a dilemma. It was the first time he had heard of silver needles for acupuncture since he had been running a grocery store for so long.
"I forgot that there is no such thing as acupuncture here, so give me a set of embroidery needles, from large to small, in every size, in addition to a bottle of spirits and a few pieces of flint and steel, and waterproof needles Oil paper, water sac, salt, and insect repellent powder.” When “Yue Jinghua” was plundered, she had no equipment for survival in the wild except for a buckskin armor for self-defense and that gaudy dagger. His cheap mother, like "Yue Jinghua", is an aristocratic lady who has no common sense of survival in the wild.
Lao Xia agreed, and hurried to find all the things the guest needed.
While waiting for Lao Xia to find something, Yue Jinghua wandered around the grocery store.
There are everything in the grocery store, but the most diverse types are all kinds of low-level mysterious beasts, such as the seeds of lizard grass and the fur of fire wolves. . . The goods in the grocery store are very complete, and each item is marked with the corresponding price.
From dozens of silver coins to a gold coin, the price of the mysterious pill of the mysterious beast is the most expensive. Just an ordinary first-order wood thorn grass magic core is worth fifty gold coins, and a second-level wind fox is worth 50 gold coins. The Xuan Dan he got was as high as two hundred gold coins.
"All the things you want are here. There are twenty-one gold coins in total. Do you need anything else?" The price of goods in the Xuanshou Valley is very high. Twenty-one gold coins is not considered a big guest. But Lao Xia still warmly entertained him as always, which made Yue Jinghua feel good about him. After she gave him the money, she started chatting with him.
"The guest must be going out for the first time to try. The reason why the price of Xuan Dan is high is because Xuan Dan is rare. Only ten Xuan Beasts and sometimes even twenty or thirty low-level Xuan Beasts can get one Xuan Dan. "Lao Xia was not optimistic about this kind of newcomers who entered the mysterious beast valley, but after Ting Yue Jinghua skillfully reported a bunch of items for survival in the wild, he changed his mind a little.
"I have one more thing to ask, why is the price of that book so high?" Yue Jinghua changed the subject, and the book she was referring to was the one with the old cover that Lao Xia was cleaning earlier. million gold coins.
Lao Xia looked back, with a little pride in his old eyes: "Because this is not an ordinary book, that is a summoning book that can only be used by the Wu Zhao clan."
