After checking his condition, Ye Li left the underground cave and quickly returned to the ground.
Ye Li, whose physical strength has reached the late stage of the Lingdan period, has increased his speed again and is extremely fast when traveling.
After returning to the ground, he immediately ran back to the camp outside Dark Mountains as fast as he could, then took away the electricity and ran towards the Imperial City.
Now Ye Li no longer relies on hunting monsters to earn contribution points. What he wants to do now is to go back to the city to forge something.
After such a long period of casting practice, Ye Li's skills have basically enabled him to cast Xuan-level talismans at will, and he can be considered a Xuan-level weaponsmith.
Just as he returned to the Imperial City and was about to buy some talisman materials to make a mysterious talisman, a bell suddenly rang loudly in the Imperial City.
Ye Li, who had been in the Imperial City for ten months, naturally knew the meaning of the bell. It could mean either an enemy attack or an urgent mission.
Ye Li briefly assessed the situation and realized that the bell sound definitely did not mean an enemy attack, so it could only be that an emergency mission had occurred.
Ye Li was very curious about the sudden emergency task and couldn't help but wonder what it was about.
After hearing the bell ringing, many disciples on the streets of the Imperial City rushed to the place where the tasks were issued.
As soon as we arrived at the task handover point, a deacon stood there and said to all the people who had gathered, "Everyone, we just received news that a monster disaster has appeared in the fourth fortress in the north, and we need disciples above the Divine Descendant Stage to go and provide support.
However, this mission is the same as in the past, it is all voluntary, you will be able to come back in two months, and we will reward you with certain contribution points.
The current situation of the four northern fortresses is not dangerous. It is similar to the several monster disasters we have experienced in the past. The monsters from Qilin Ridge in the north were just symbolically attacking our four fortresses and causing some self-consumption.
If there are disciples who are interested in participating in the support, they can get a map and then go to the Fourth Base in the North on their own.
The fortress that we in the Imperial City are responsible for is in the far east, so don’t go to the wrong location.”
As soon as the deacon finished speaking, the disciples gathered around him immediately began to talk to each other with great interest, and most people reacted enthusiastically to this matter.
However, the way Ye Li looked at them, he didn't seem to be concerned about the battle situation at all. Instead, he looked like they were just watching the fun.
While he was thinking, Huang Jian and Mu Tianzhi suddenly appeared behind him and patted him on the shoulder.
Ye Li turned his head and saw that it was Huang Jian and the other two. He was surprised for a moment but then showed joy and said, "Hey, why are you two here? Didn't Brother Huang go hunting?"
Huang Jian chuckled and said, "I haven't gone hunting yet. I have been practicing in seclusion in the city these two days.
When I came here to check out the situation just now, I happened to meet Brother Mu, so we came here together.
Brother Mu has sharp eyes. He saw you as soon as he came over."
Mu Tianzhi looked at Ye Li and said, "Ye Li, how about it, do you want to go to the Northern Fourth Base to check out the situation?"
Ye Li heard Mu Tianzhi's question and said, "Brother Mu, Brother Huang, I still don't quite understand what's going on. What exactly is this Northern Four Fortress? And what about the monster disaster?"
Mu Tianzhi looked at Ye Li with some surprise and said, "Ye Li, don't you know that the Four Northern Fortresses are the four fortresses we humans built outside Qilin Mountain to defend against the monsters of Qilin Mountain.
Qilin Ridge, like the Monster Mountain Range, is the largest gathering place for monsters. It can even be said to be a complete monster world.
However, there is one difference between the two, and that is that the Monster Mountain Range is relatively peaceful, and the monsters inside will not attack human territory without reason, or the attack is much weaker.
But Qilin Ridge is different. The monsters inside will launch a beast attack on humans every once in a while.
After all, the lifespan of monsters is generally longer than that of humans, and their reproductive capacity is stronger, so the number of monsters in Qilin Ridge will increase.
In order to ensure the survival interests of the majority of monsters, a small number of monsters will be driven out to attack human territory.
Their purpose is very simple, either to defeat humans and expand their territory, or to be defeated by humans and sacrifice this small number of monsters.
The society of monsters is different from that of humans. Low-level monsters have a natural fear and obedience to high-level monsters. Therefore, the sacrificed monsters will not be too high-level so that they will not resist the control of high-level monsters.
However, the monster disasters nowadays are basically just for show. The monsters that are usually driven out are old and weak monsters in the divine descent stage or the foetus stage, and no more than the original fetus stage.
The combat capabilities of these monsters are average, and can even be said to be relatively weak compared to humans of the same level. Even if they exist in large groups, they will not pose much threat to humans.
The four holy places jointly built four fortresses outside Qilin Ridge, each guarding an area. There are many camps near the fortresses, which can be used for the children of our Imperial City or other forces to set up a line of defense to resist possible attacks from monsters.
This line of defense is basically like a wall, blocking the junction between Qilin Ridge and human society.
The area under the jurisdiction of the Imperial City is the easternmost section.”
After listening to Mu Tianzhi's explanation, Ye Li finally understood the situation of the four northern bases.
As a child of a small family in a remote area, he had never heard of these things at all. To him, the Qilin Ridge in his impression was basically the same place as the Monster Mountain Range.
Ye Li looked at the disciples who were grinning around him and said, "I was just wondering why everyone seemed to be watching the fun when they heard about the monster attack.
It turns out that there is nothing to worry about. No wonder everyone seems to be indifferent.
So, Brother Mu, Brother Huang, are you planning to go to the Northern Fourth Base?"
Huang Jian thought for a moment and said, "I am planning to go and take a look. After all, I have been here for two years and have never encountered a monster disaster before, so I have not been to the Northern Fourth Base to take a look.
After this action, the sect will issue some contribution points as rewards to the disciples who participated in the mission, as well as increase the disciples' contribution to the sect.
This kind of large sect-based mission generally has fewer contribution points but a higher contribution degree, which is very important for those who want to avoid being eliminated or want to advance.
But for ordinary disciples, it is not very meaningful, which is why most people are not interested in it."
Ye Li knew that every task, including hunting tasks, had a corresponding contribution degree, and the contribution degree indicated how much a disciple contributed to the sect.
This means that disciples are not only drawing cultivation resources from the sect, but also giving back to the sect.
