The special forces soldiers who stayed there to be on guard soon discovered Chu Yuntian and his companions, and took them back to the temporary base.
Chu Yuntian also heard the voice of the system.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully protecting the employer from danger. The reward for completing the task is 0000 gold coins. The current number of gold coins is 40000 gold coins. Please improve your own strength as soon as possible so that you can better protect the safety of the employer." The system prompted. Chu Yuntian's tense nerves finally relaxed. During the few days in this underground tomb, his mind has always been highly concentrated. After all, the bet on one side is his own life and property. Now that the task is finally completed, he can be considered relieved.
However, Du Shiyun's danger this time also made Chu Yuntian consider whether to discuss with Du Shiyun to terminate the commission. After all, he has a lot of things to do now, helping Ye Wenli change the entire underground world of China, and may also need to face the impact of several top-notch sects, as well as compete for the number one young person. He does not have so much time to protect Du Shiyun's safety, and the contract with Du Shiyun is now a time bomb for him.
If he had received this mission when he was captured by Yin Yue, he would have been destroyed by the system space. But in the final analysis, it was because his strength was too weak. Chu Yuntian found the root of the problem. If his strength could reach the transformation stage, he would not have been captured by someone like Yin Yue, and he would not have become as weak as a chicken after performing the seventh needle of the nine needles of good fortune.
Thinking of this, Chu Yuntian decided to practice hard, but he also understood that one cannot become fat in one bite. He had just broken through to the Grandmaster level before, and if he was anxious to break through now, it would result in an unstable foundation, which would bring great trouble to his future practice. Chu Yuntian would not do such a loss-making business.
"Major General Chu, this knife was brought by a good friend who went down with us. Now he is dead. It is fate that you picked up this knife. I hope you can use it well." Chu Yuntian was thinking about whether to go to Du Shiyun to discuss the termination of the entrustment contract, when suddenly the voice of Dean Chen came over.
"Huh? This one?" Chu Yuntian then remembered the nearly 1.5-meter-long Tang sword on his back. He had originally intended to use it for self-defense. It seemed that Chen Shan thought he liked this Tang sword.
"Well, this knife is stained with a lot of blood. It is an ancient knife that can kill ghosts." Chen Shan approached Chu Yuntian and said in a low voice.
"Is there such a thing? Let me see." Chu Yuntian drew his sword out of its sheath. The blade was like a clear spring, reflecting the sunlight. The cold light on the blade seemed to tell of the sharpness of the sword. Chu Yuntian had received systematic training in elementary swordsmanship, and was equivalent to an old hand who had practiced swordsmanship for more than ten years. Now he did not feel unfamiliar with using the Tang sword. After swinging it a few times, he found that it was quite handy, so Chu Yuntian put the sword back into its sheath.
"Not bad, not bad, it's good stuff." Chu Yuntian said with a smile.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for discovering the remains of the sword array. This will trigger a hidden mission to collect seventy-seven forty-nine ancient swords. There is no time limit for the mission, and a reward of 1,000,000 gold coins will be given for successful mission. All the weapons in the sword array can be placed in the system space. You can take them out again when you need to use them. Do you need to store them?"
"Hiss! How many gold coins? No need to store them." Chu Yuntian took a breath and asked in shock in the system space. How could the stingy system give such a high bonus? And Chen Shan was still by his side, so he naturally would not put the Tang sword into the system space.
"The host heard correctly, it is 1,000,000 gold coins. As long as you can collect all 749 ancient swords, the host will be able to use the battle formation diagram, and your strength will be greatly increased."
Chu Yuntian took a few deep breaths to calm himself down a little.
"System, do you have any trace of these swords?" If he had 1,000,000 gold coins, he could do a lot of things. He would probably be able to learn the ultimate courses of various courses by then. Chu Yuntian became excited when he imagined the scene of himself launching a nuclear bomb alone.
"No, this task is a hidden task, and the host needs to find clues for everything." The system answered again.
"Then how can I know if this is the ancient sword you are looking for? Is its form the same as this Tang sword?" Although Chu Yuntian was a little disappointed, the answer given by the system was also expected.
"No, these forty-nine ancient swords were made by a master. They are forty-nine ancient swords of different shapes. When put together, they can be controlled using the most advanced sword-controlling style in swordsmanship to form a sword formation to fight the enemy. By that time, opponents at the grandmaster level will be no more than a match for them." The system said temptingly.
"Wow, so powerful! How can I know that sword is one of the ancient swords?" Chu Yuntian has calmed down now.
There is a reason why the system rewards him with 1,000,000 gold coins. Finding the forty-eight ancient swords in the vast sea of people is basically an impossible task because he has no information at all. In other words, finding the ancient swords depends entirely on fate. If he hadn't come to this ancient tomb to save Du Shiyun this time, he wouldn't have been able to get the Tang sword in his hand. After hearing the bright prospects that the system described for him, after collecting all the swords, the opponents at the grandmaster level would be no match for him. This temptation made Chu Yuntian determined to collect all the forty-nine ancient swords.
"This is easy. As long as the host holds one of the forty-nine swords and waves it, the system will be able to tell whether it is one of the forty-nine ancient swords." The system replied immediately.
Chu Yuntian was not feeling well. In other words, he would have to look for all kinds of swords in the days ahead. It was too much to look for forty-eight weapons without any characteristics. It seemed that he could only let it go. Chu Yuntian exited the system space and looked at the old man in front of him with a burning gaze. Maybe this old man knew some news about other ancient swords. This opportunity must not be missed.
Chen Shan, who was standing in front of Chu Yuntian, suddenly felt a chill. Chu Yuntian, who had just praised him for being a good knife, suddenly looked at him with the eyes of a big bad wolf looking at a little lamb. Chen Shan couldn't help but shudder. Hoping it was his illusion, Chen Shan was about to slip away, but was grabbed by Chu Yuntian.
"Hey, Mr. Chen, let's talk. Do you have any other information about swords like this?" Chu Yuntian asked with a smile.
"Ahem, my name is Chen Shan. Major General Chu, I can't bear it if you call me Old Chen. Just call me Uncle Chen." Chen Shan wiped the sweat from his forehead. He always felt that Major General Chu was a psychopath.
"Then I won't be polite. Uncle Chen, just call me Master Chu. Uncle Chen, do you have any information about swords like this?" Chu Yuntian asked straight to the point. (To be continued)
