The two walked into the hall and found that there were four extremely thick pillars standing in the Wanshi Pavilion. There were many words floating and flashing on them, and each of them was surrounded by monks.
Li Jinzhi looked at them one by one and found that the first pillar was surrounded by Qi training period, the second pillar was the foundation building period, the third pillar was the Jindan period site, and there were quite a few people around the fourth pillar, but all The cultivation base of Yuan Ying period.
Ye Yu pointed to the pillar with few people, and said through a voice transmission, "There are all the monks in the Nascent Soul stage, and all the tasks at the Nascent Soul level must be issued."
Li Jinzhi nodded, "Indeed, the task must be more difficult." There are also more rewards.
Since they decided to rely on tasks to comprehend supernatural powers, it was naturally impossible for the two of them to accept low-level tasks. They walked straight to the fourth pillar, and the two began to look for tasks that were suitable for them.
But soon, both of them discovered one thing.
The above tasks are actually similar, they are all going to the nether cave to kill insects. As for what type of insects, each task is different.
Nether cave
Li Jinzhi and Ye Yu looked at each other, and they both saw confusion in each other's eyes. All the maps and documents did not mention this Nether Cave.
Even the steward of the rented cave mansion had never mentioned any information about the Nether Cave.
Looking at the various insects mentioned in the mission, the two fell into contemplation. It seems that this underground city, which is separated from all forces, seems to have a very obscure secret
"Well, did the two fellow Daoists also come here to take up the mission?" A male cultivator's voice sounded from behind the two of them.
The two looked back and found that it was a tall young man with a square face and simple and honest appearance, but he was a real Beihan Yuanying cultivator.
Seeing that the two didn't answer, the man repeated it again, "Are you two going to take on the mission?"
"Let's just take a look." Ye Yu replied with a cold face, then turned his head back, and sent a voice transmission to Li Jinzhi, "My two people's magical powers are too secretive, and it is not suitable to bring other monks."
Naturally, Li Jinzhi knew the pros and cons. After nodding, he said to the man, "The two of us are just here to see what tasks are worth taking over, and we don't plan to take them right away."
The man seemed a little lost, but he didn't bother much, "Then don't bother." Then he turned and walked towards another light source cultivator.
As soon as the man left, a Guangyuan cultivator beside Li Jinzhi sneered, "Cut, isn't it because I'm worried that I can't complete the task alone, the dignified Yuanying cultivator is shy and trying to get in touch everywhere." Then the man turned his head to look at Li Jinzhi and the two of them. Said, "You two must not hook up with Guanghan cultivator, those are really notorious people!"
Li Jinzhi thought about it, and followed the man's words and asked, "Oh? What did they do?" After a while, he added, "The two of us retreated for too long, and after we came out, we found that there were many aliens around."
"Hey, fellow Daoist, you don't know, let's not talk about things outside of the inner city. There was a horrible thing that happened in the inner city." The cultivator was full of righteous indignation, "We here Treating foreign cultivators has always been fair, but last time, a group of Jindan cultivators from Beihan invited Guanghan cultivators to join them on a mission. As a result, a lot of Beihan cultivators came back, while Guanghan cultivators all died. Life."
"But that doesn't mean anything? It's normal to die during the mission." Li Jinzhi asked with a frown.
"It's nothing, but one of the Guangyuan cultivators who participated in the incident came back, and he said..." The cultivator approached Li Jinzhi's ear and whispered, "The group of Guangyuan cultivators were used as bait by Beihan cultivators to bring in them. In a dangerous place, for the sake of a very powerful female worm demon-"
Before he could finish speaking, Li Jinzhi's collar was pulled back, and when he looked back, it turned out to be Ye Yu.
The slender eyebrows were tightly twisted, and there was dissatisfaction in his eyes, "It's too close." Ye Yu was very confused in his heart. Recently, his mood is very wrong. He doesn't like to have anything to do with people other than him. Tight will also look awkward.
This emotion is more obvious after the seabed is removed.
He clearly knew that there would be no one closer and more trusted by Jinzhi, but he still felt that there was not enough.
Where is not enough
Li Jinzhi was not annoyed after being pulled away by Ye Yu. The distance just now was really too close. If the other party suddenly attacked, he would have no choice but to be vigilant in the realm of cultivation.
And he had no interest in the grievances between cultivator Guangyuan and cultivator Beihan, grabbed a few words and asked, "Mother worm? Fellow Daoist, to tell you the truth, the two of us are not local cultivators in the center of the earth, just outside. The war is about to start, the two of us are ascetic monks, and the city in the heart of the earth came only because we didn’t want to intervene.”
"Hey, so that's the case." The cultivator was the only one surprised and smiled, "Actually, what fellow Daoists want to ask about is the Nether Cave?"
"It's the Nether Cave. I've never heard of the Nether Cave in other cities." Li Jinzhi climbed up.
"The Nether Cave is the secret of the inner city. Do you have a monk token in your hand? This token is used to protect this secret." The monk took out a pale yellow token from his arms. , "Out of the Earth City, this token will wash away the memory of the Nether Cave in the cultivator's mind by itself, so the outside world does not know the existence of the Nether Cave."
"Why is this?" Ye Yu asked with a frown. He always felt that the existence of this city in the heart of the earth was related to the Nether Cave.
"The existence of the city in the center of the earth is to guard the nether cave." The cultivator had a mysterious face, "There are tens of thousands of Zerg with different appearances and signs living in the nether cave. If there is no one to guard, this Guangyuan desert will be destroyed. The zerg have taken over."
Tens of thousands!
Li Jinzhi and Ye Yu looked at each other in amazement, and they were shocked. It turned out that there was such a secret hidden under the Guangyuan Desert!
Ye Yu sent a voice transmission to Li Jinzhi, "It's no wonder that the materials under this desert are so poor, there is no spiritual grass for spirit grass, and no minerals for minerals, but so many Nascent Souls can be condensed under such difficult circumstances."
Naturally, Li Jinzhi also figured out the key points. If he used monster insects to exercise his supernatural powers, it would be better.
Moreover, the carapace of the monster worm is hard and can be used for refining weapons. The magic pill of the monster worm can be used to refine medicine, and if it cannot be consumed by itself, it can also be used to sell money.
Determined to pay attention, after the two thanked the enthusiastic monks, they began to carefully select tasks.
The two of them just started contacting the Zerg, and they didn't dare to be too aggressive. They chose two tasks with a low risk factor and ordinary salary, and then went to take the task.
The manager of Wanshi Pavilion was a fairly old foundation-building cultivator. He raised his eyelids and glanced at the two of them. He took the yellow token and swept it in the air. He said lazily, "Two intermediate tasks, you can get ten after completing them. Do you need to purchase a map of the Nether Cave for a middle-grade spirit stone?" He threw three or four jade slips of different colors at random.
"Are these map jade slips?" Li Jinzhi asked after picking up one.
"There are also "Introduction to Zerg Types", "Zerg Distribution", and "Introduction to Zerg Dead Gate", which are all experiences accumulated by monks in the Nether Cave in previous years, which can greatly improve the probability of survival. Of course, these are not forced to buy or not. "The old man finally got some energy when he saw the two asked about these jade slips. "Each only needs five low-grade spirit stones."
"Then you will get one point." Li Jinzhi took one piece of each kind of jade slip and asked Ye Yu to pay and then turned and left.
The two did not rush to the Nether Cave, but returned to the cave they rented earlier. The cave was extremely empty, with only one table and two chairs, and not even a bed.
After the two went in, they didn't arrange it, and they didn't understand the spiritual energy around them. After sitting down on the chair, Li Jinzhi poured the purchased jade slip onto the ground and was about to pick up the jade slip with the map on it, but was caught Ye Yu grabbed his wrist.
"I will look at this piece, and there is also "Zerg Distribution". You only need to look at the type of Zerg and the dead gate of Zerg." Ye Yu put the purple and blue jade slip in front of Li Jinzhi.
"..." Li Jinzhi looked at the two jade slips in front of him, "Why?"
Ye Yu held the hand of the jade slip for a while, looked at Li Jinzhi with strange eyes, and asked back, "Do you think that with your sense of direction, you can find the direction in the dark nether cave and identify the distribution of the Zerg? Huh?"
"..." Li Jinzhi was speechless for a while, then silently picked up the purple jade slip and put it on his forehead, closing his eyes and saying nothing.
Ye Yu looked at each other, and the corner of his mouth tickled slightly. If he mastered all the terrain of the Nether Cave, Li Jinzhi would probably be inseparable from him.
Will get lost after all...
After a stick of incense, Ye Yu took down the jade slip on his forehead, and couldn't help but ponder. Li Jinzhi took another cup of tea before taking the jade slip.
The two looked at each other and saw the solemn look in each other's eyes.
"The Nether Cave is divided into five layers, the upper and lower layers. The area on each layer is extremely vast. The further down, the stronger the ability of the Zerg. No monks have been to the bottom layer so far." Ye Yu frowned.
"There are really tens of thousands of Zerg species, it is not exaggerated, and the gates of death are different. Some can spray poisonous mist, and some can release clones. Some can create illusions, and some can even release large-scale corrosion. Objects." Li Jinzhi also pondered, "The Zerg breeds very fast, if there are monks who go in and kill all the year round, the consequences would be unimaginable."
"Although there are a lot of them, after so many years, the Zerg and the monks have reached a delicate balance. The Guangyuan monks need demon pills, and the Zerg need nutrients." Ye Yu said coldly, "The way of heaven is fair."
"Yeah." Li Jinzhi naturally understood the pros and cons, stood up and said to Ye Yu, "It doesn't matter if there is a mountain of swords or a sea of fire, since the two of us are here, we will go in and make a foray."
Ye Yu raised his head, looked at Li Jinzhi who was standing against the light, and said with a faint smile, "Okay." I will accompany you.
