After killing Kuluni, there were no more monsters in front of Zhang Yang. After walking through a narrow mountain path, he came to the top of the mountain, where there was a large tile-roofed house. Outside the tile-roofed house, there stood a slender middle-aged man with his upper body bare, practicing boxing, revealing his well-built muscles.
[Joe Smith] (Gold-level leader, humanoid creature)
Level: 85
HP: 1.7 million
Armor value: 1500
Note: The chief of the Baishi Mountain Bandits.
The boss had a huge hatred field. Without saying a word, he rushed over and swung a big fist at Zhang Yang.
"Kana!" Zhang Yang shouted.
The boss was stunned, and his attack stopped abruptly. He showed a trace of solemnity and asked: "Who are you?"
Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Kana Job, the son of Old John, hid his identity and became a bandit leader 20 years ago, right?"
In front of Zhang Yang, the name on the boss's head suddenly changed to "Kana Jobe", and the relationship status also changed from red to green. It was obvious that this fight could not take place.
Kana's brows furrowed even more and he asked, "Young man, how did you know that?"
"Schroelder, he told me!" Zhang Yang said.
Kana was silent for a moment, with murderous intent still in his eyes. He asked, "What is your purpose?"
"I need something from you, the same as this—" Zhang Yang took out a fragment of the Key of the Void from his backpack and shook it in front of Kana.
"Hey, how come you also have soul fragments?" Kana showed obvious surprise.
Well, Alonsus said he didn't know what the Void Fragment was, Tiffany said it was an ancient fragment, and now Cana said it was a soul fragment! It seems that over the past thousand years, the true name and function of the Void Key have been lost in the long river of history, and the descendants of the Seven Ministers have given it various other names.
Zhang Yang smiled and said, "So, you and I have some connection! Kana, I need this fragment in your hand to complete a mission. What do you want in exchange for giving me the soul fragment?"
Kana looked thoughtful and said, "Although this soul fragment has considerable magical power, it is of no use to me. It's not that I can't give it to you! However, it's impossible for you to take it away for free!"
He slowly paced in front of Zhang Yang and said, "I want to see your strength first! So, go to Crow Ridge first and bring me the head of the leader of the army stationed there, Xue Shura Maota!"
"Ding! Kana Job has issued you a mission: Kill the Blood Shura Maota. Do you accept it?"
accept.
Zhang Yang said: "Okay, I will bring you Maota's head right now!"
Kana laughed loudly, paused for a moment, and said, "You were able to get here, probably because you killed all my men?"
"That's right! Will you cause me trouble?"
“No!” Kana shook his head happily. “Those people are all undeads, real bandits. I recruited them just to use them to fight against those dirty mercenaries. It’s just dog-eat-dog. If they die, they die!”
Damn, that’s cruel!
Zhang Yang summoned the big white bear and ran down the mountain path.
[Kill the Blood Shura Maota] (Mission Difficulty: Level B)
Mission description: Kana Job wants you to kill Blood Shura Maota! He is a small leader among the mercenaries. He is bloodthirsty by nature, but his strength is not simple. You'd better bring some friends with you! Tip: Blood Shura Maota is stationed in Crow Ridge in the east.
Completion: Deliver the head of Blood Shura Maota to Kana Job 01
After speeding all the way, Zhang Yang soon arrived at Crow Ridge.
This is a mountain that is even more desolate than Baishi Peak. From afar, you can see graves everywhere on the mountain. Red-eyed crows are squatting on the tombstones, croaking from time to time and flying up to the sky.
This Crow Ridge is not high, the mountain is very flat, just like a small mound. Starting from the hillside, a high wall was built around the mountain, and there is only one passage on the mountain road for entry and exit.
Zhang Yang looked from afar and saw that the mountain was heavily guarded, with fully armed soldiers everywhere. These monsters were all elite, with a level of 82, and were extremely ferocious!
There were hundreds of them just outside. If we counted the ones that were not in the barracks, the number would be much higher! Moreover, these monsters were crowded together in groups of three or five. It was simply impossible to pull them out and clear them out individually!
Even Zhang Yang would have to think twice before facing so many monsters at once!
… Forget it, let’s avoid these monsters and go straight to the boss! .
Zhang Yang thought to himself and started the earth escape technique!
As soon as the skill was activated, the soil under his feet softened like running water, and Zhang Yang sank into the soil. Just like swimming in water, he broke through the soil and "swam" all the way up the mountain.
The art of earth escape is very magical. Even if Zhang Yang is deep underground, he can still see the scene on the ground. The soil does not affect his vision at all!
Although the movement speed will be reduced by 50% when burrowing underground, Zhang Yang's movement speed is still very fast because he does not need to fight monsters. The ten-minute skill duration is enough for him to travel to the middle of the mountain!
When the underground burrowing effect ended, Zhang Yang was forced onto the ground and appeared in a tent.
Suddenly, the monsters that the three soldiers were fighting surrounded and attacked them.
[Raven Hill Guard] (Elite, Humanoid)
Level: 82
HP: 82000
Armor value: 450
Zhang Yang blocked once and slashed once, and after gaining enough rage, he sent out a shock wave, knocking the three monsters into coma at the same time. He then used this time to summon out the big white bear.
"Ah—" As soon as the big white bear appeared, it launched a fierce attack on a guard monster. Zhang Yang turned over and rode on it, and his attributes suddenly soared.
He could burrow underground, but his pet couldn't, it would only run on the ground above his head. So Zhang Yang had previously summoned the white bear to avoid being beaten by the monsters.
Although these three were elite monsters, they were no match for Zhang Yang. He defeated them in no time and dropped several pieces of silk.
After leaving the tent, Zhang Yang continued to walk up the mountain. At this time, he was only a quarter of the way to the top of the mountain.
"Intruder!"
As soon as I walked out of the tent, a white axe came towards me and a strong wind was howling.
Zhang Yang looked intently and saw that the attacker was still an elite soldier, the same as the one in the tent, not very powerful, but very ferocious!
Ping pong, pong. In front of Zhang Yang, all elite monsters were paper tigers. They were knocked to the ground in an instant, and dozens of pitiful copper coins exploded.
"How poor!" Zhang Yang sighed. In order to maintain the value of gold coins, this system has really restricted the output of coins.
While sighing, he continued to walk up the mountain. Although he avoided at least three quarters of the monsters, there were still many monsters to fight. After another round of slaughter, Zhang Yang finally reached the top of the mountain half an hour later. He looked back and thought that if he didn't have the earth escape technique, it would take at least 2 hours to get up here!
A huge tent appeared in front of Zhang Yang. There were four guards guarding the front of the tent. However, the tent was closed and Zhang Yang could not see the situation inside. He also didn't know whether the Blood Shura Maota was here!
It is better to summon the Black Water Turtle first. You cannot change pets when in combat!
After Zhang Yang summoned the Black Water Turtle, he threw the Broken Spear at one of the guards.
-2567!
"Who did you come from, you thief? How dare you come to Crow Ridge to seek death? Don't you know that our master is the Blood Shura Maota?" The four guards rushed over with weapons in hand.
Zhang Yang climbed onto the black turtle and said, "Brother is here to kill Maota today! Big turtle, charge!"
The Black Water Turtle immediately moved its limbs at the fastest speed, but as if in slow motion, the leg that was raised high did not come down for a long time!
"Damn, you really embarrass my brother!" Zhang Yang laughed and swung the Xuanming Sword at the four guards who were rushing over.
"Big turtle, big turtle, look, others have run dozens of meters to the destination, but you haven't even taken a step. What's going on!" Zhang Yang teased the Black Water Turtle while attacking the four guards.
Fortunately, Xuan Shuixuan would not protest and would not slap Zhang Yang to the ground.
Ding ding dang dang, after a fierce battle, the guard with the least HP suddenly yelled, "Master Maota, there's an assassin! There's an assassin!"
"Which blind little thief dares to assassinate me!" A burly man suddenly opened the tent and walked out, his upper body clothes were open, revealing his hairy chest and several hideous scars!
He held a saber in his right hand and a wine bottle in his left hand, and he was drinking from it in big gulps as he spoke.
[Blood Shura Maota] (Gold level leader, humanoid creature)
Level: 84
HP: 1.68 million
Armor value: 1500
The guard who shouted immediately fell to Maota's feet and said, "Sir, there is an assassin!"
"You useless trash, you can't even deal with an assassin. What use do I have for you!" Maota glared and swung his saber at the guard's head and neck.
"Puff—" The guard's head was immediately cut off by the saber, drawing an arc in the air and falling into the pile of rocks nearby. A large amount of blood gushed out of the headless corpse like a spring.
Bang! The guard fell to the ground like a golden mountain or a jade pillar.
Damn, so cruel, he really deserves to be called Blood Shura, he is so vicious to his own people!
"Ha ha ha ha, Lord Kazaro asked me not to go out to do business these days. I was just feeling bored and someone unexpectedly delivered a toy to my door. I'm going to enjoy it!"
Mao Ta shouldered his saber and strode towards Zhang Yang. The blade was still dripping with blood, dripping all over the ground!
