Time always flies, especially when people are engaged in work. The preparations for the promotion mission were completed in a hurry. A large amount of supplies were transferred to the small world by Le Yuan. The infinite space equipment that Le Yuan had been looking forward to was not found, but a small world with similar functions made up for this regret.
When the countdown to the promotion task reached zero, the figures of Huang Rong and the other two people who were looking at him affectionately in front of Le Yuan gradually blurred. Le Yuan was still in an empty sealed room.
"Is this here again? The place I remember coming last time seems to be similar to here. Am I the first?"
Le Yuan looked around in this room, which was almost exactly the same as the one he entered before the second-level promotion mission. The entire room was hundreds of square meters in size, and there was not a single piece of furniture in it. More importantly, Le Yuan did not see any other players at all.
Finding a random corner to sit down, Le Yuan began to wait for the player to appear. And after waiting for half an hour, Le Yuan was still the only one in the whole room, as if Le Yuan was the only one responsible for this promotion mission.
"The disguise props I prepared were really wasted. The system is planning to keep me alone until I die!"
Le Yuan's complaint is not unfounded. Apart from the sister-killing world prepared by Yu Jie Xueyan, Le Yuan has never met a player in a mission world after his rebirth in the other world. Of course, this also has nothing to do with his choice of mission world. It has a lot to do with it. However, the functions of the Leyuan panel have really been emasculated a lot, which is an undoubted fact.
And now that no players have arrived, it is both a good thing and a bad thing. The advantage is of course that there is no interference from outsiders, and Le Yuan may be able to obtain greater benefits in the world of promotion tasks. There are also many disadvantages. Le Yuan cannot get help from anyone, and he is also unable to take revenge on Luo Rou as expected.
When half an hour passed, a rotating blue light vortex appeared on one of the walls of the sealed room. Le Yuan patted his butt and stood up from the ground, then looked back at the empty room and stepped into the whirlpool resolutely.
He was still in the state of sleeping and waking. Although Le Yuan felt that his mind was very clear, he just couldn't get out of this chaotic state. When this feeling gradually dissipated from his mind, Le Yuan had already arrived in a deserted forest.
It was the tenth year of the great cause (AD 614). Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty conscripted troops to attack Goryeo again after March since his second expedition to Goryeo had to be abandoned due to a fire in the backyard. The Sui Dynasty, which was once prosperous in the hands of Yang Jian, gradually turned from prosperity to decline, showing signs of failure.
But people in the world don't think so. A ballad is enough to explain the current situation of the Sui Dynasty: Invincible in the world, Grand Master Yuwen, the demon pupil will never die, and the Sui family must not die. Legend has it that one man and one sword destroyed the rebellious grand master Yuwen Tuo of the Chen Kingdom, who was one hundred thousand in number. As long as he did not die or rebel for a day, Yang Guang's rule would not have the slightest problem.
Le Yuan's promotion task also started in March of this year.
After waking up from the teleportation, Le Yuan shook his head and immediately opened the mission panel.
Mission scene: Promotion mission world—ancient gods and demons scene
Mission world strength: A level
Mission Difficulty: Level A++
Mission format: camp confrontation
Restrictions: You cannot exit before completing the main mission or failing and dying.
Main mission one: Slaying demons with a sword
Mission description: Within one month, go to the ancient cave of Fumo Mountain, unlock the seal of the Fumo Mirror, and successfully kill Taotie, one of the four ancient evils.
The difficulty of the tasks and the strength of the world are unsurprisingly strong, and the form of the tasks is worthy of Le Yuan's consideration. Camp confrontation? Who is fighting against whom? Is it the camp of this world or the camp between players
"If it's the former, but I don't have any camp restrictions at all now, and this one is from Fumo Mountain and Taotie, what mythical world am I in?"
The mission information given so far is not enough for Le Yuan to understand the basic information of this world, so the willingness to learn from the world camp is minimal. On the contrary, if the player is fighting against the system's personality, it will be full of personality. Le Yuan, a unique player, was specially assigned to a camp, so the mission preparation space was empty and Le Yuan was alone.
The system was specially testing Le Yuan, or it was trying to kill Le Yuan. Camp confrontation means that Le Yuan needs at least 1VS? ? With players of the same level, if both sides compete equally, it is difficult to say that Le Yuan would be able to gain an advantage.
It was only then that Le Yuan noticed that there was a countdown at the end of the mission—344 days and 17 hours.
"To get help from a force that fights against an unknown number of players with unknown abilities in less than a year? What an interesting arrangement."
Closing the mission panel casually, Le Yuan chose one of the directions to move forward. Everything he said now was false and Le Yuan, who had not obtained any information, was blind and unable to judge how to act next.
Half a day later, Le Yuan walked out of the forest and searched downstream along a wide river and finally found a sparsely populated village. As soon as Le Yuan stepped into the village, he found that the village was lifeless. There were mostly dying old people and powerless women and children. There was not a single strong man who could fight.
Le Yuan walked forward along the only path into the village, and then came to an old man sitting under a locust tree and sighing. Although the old man in blue-gray linen clothes looked old with a cane in his hand, he looked very old. Revealing a temperament that is different from ordinary people.
Le Yuan cupped his hands and bowed slightly to the old man.
"Old man, I don't know where this place is? I'm new here and I'm a little lost. Please give me some advice."
The old man was a little surprised by Le Yuan's appearance. He raised his head and looked at Le Yuan's appearance, and then he was secretly surprised by Le Yuan's clothes and temperament. In such a small, lively and prosperous village, a man like Le Yuan suddenly appeared who was dressed luxuriously (the crescent white silk satin robe made of Xiaoyao Immortal Robe) and had a very noble face (how could a person from this other world be nutritious? Young people who are bad, depressed) and have unusual conversational skills (a basic politeness problem for modern people).
The old man slowly stood up from the stone, leaning on a cane and said to Le Yuan: "This young master is really a rare visitor. Our Yunling Village is not a big place. It is rare for an outsider to dress like this!"
"Yunling Village? I'm sorry for my ignorance, but I don't know where Yunling Village is. Are there any big towns or famous mountains and rivers around it?" The kindness and respect in Le Yuan's tone made the old man opposite hear clearly. He stroked his beard, nodded and smiled.
"Hahaha, you don't know that this Yunling Village is also natural." The old man laughed and pointed at the surroundings of the village. "Yunling Village is surrounded by mountains on two sides and water on two sides. It can be said that it is located in a remote place. Except for the merchants who collect medicinal materials, The only other people who come here are those nasty conscripts."
The terrain of Yunling Village is very strange. It is surrounded by mountains on both the east and south sides. Climbing over the mountains to the east and following the official road leads directly to Daliang City (Kaifeng). After climbing over the mountains to the south, you will find Yaowang Mountain, a holy place for medicinal production. People in the villages around the mountain live on this mountain.
It should be said that the life of Yunling Village was not bad at first. It was located in the north of Yaowang Mountain and could earn a lot of money and food every year from the medicinal herbs on the mountain. Although the people in the village could not be said to be rich and powerful, it was much better than other places. .
But since Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty conquered Goryeo three times, all the young men in this village were captured, and the whole village fell into ruin.
"Well, if that Grand Master Yuwen could take action, how could a mere Goryeo be unable to attack it for a long time? With just one strike of the legendary golden sword, it could have saved the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in our Sui Dynasty. What a pity. !”
The old man chattered endlessly when he talked about Yuwen Tuo's affairs, and he was more regretful about how many strong men in this village could successfully return from the battlefield.
Le Yuan also learned about the current situation during this conversation. He had come to the world of Xuanyuan Sword. And the current time is long before the plot begins, and even Yuwen Tuo has not yet realized that he is the reincarnation of the legendary artifact.
In the Sui Dynasty, which was suffering from internal and external troubles, although Yang Guang had conquered Korea three times, he was still not idle. Not long ago, it was rumored that Gong Shantie, a Taoist with "magic", led a massive riot. Yuwen Tuo went to suppress it and injured the Taoist with one blow. Yuwen Tuo also took this opportunity to stay in the area to help Prevent civil unrest.
And this Taoist Gong Shantie is the uncle of the protagonist Chen Jingchou. He originally wanted to save the people oppressed by the Communist Party, but he never expected that he was no match for Yuwen Tuo. , I'm afraid he would have died on the spot.
"Young master, if you want to visit famous mountains and rivers, you can go to Yaowang Mountain to the east or south. Although it is not a famous mountain, it still has a unique flavor. As for the northwest, it is better not to go!"
As the old man spoke, his expression changed, as if he thought of something bad, and he shook his head repeatedly.
"I wonder if my father-in-law has something to hide. Is there anything wrong with the west and north directions?"
As soon as Le Yuan heard the old man's words, he immediately thought of the key point. He wasn't interested in Yaowang Mountain or anything like that. Instead, he was interested in things that made the old man's face change color.
After Le Yuan's repeated questioning, the old man relaxed his tone and told Le Yuan about his worries.
"Sir, I'm not just talking nonsense. There are rivers on both sides of this place to the east and south, so only the east pier has boats that can sail to the other side of the river. After crossing the river, there is a small village in the east called Yuehe Village. I heard that there is There is a monster named River God, who is actually a river demon. I heard it is a man-eating monster!"
There was a look of horror on the old man's face. Seeing that Le Yuan had no strange expression, he thought that Le Yuan didn't believe it. He quickly continued: "This is not old nonsense. I have a relative who is from Yuehe Village. I heard that three years ago Suddenly a river god came and asked their village to sacrifice young girls every year. This Taoist priest went there a lot, but one by one he filled the teeth of the monster as a sacrifice, and the people in the village were also affected, not to mention how miserable it was. "
"Then why don't you move away? Do you just have to watch your loved ones being eaten?" Le Yuan didn't understand what the people in that village were thinking.
"Alas, people are cheap when they leave their hometown. Besides, the world is big and everything is different wherever they move. And who knows whether the monster will move with it. Most people move as early as they can, and the rest will be like that. "
Although the old man sympathized with the tragic situation in Yuehe Village, what could he do as a mortal? He could only express his sorrow by sighing from time to time.
"It's even more serious to the west. There is also a mountain to the west called Fumo Mountain. Rumor has it that it suppresses a peerless monster. However, although no one has seen this big monster, in recent years, the little monsters on the mountain have not Young Master, there are reports of passers-by being killed from time to time, Master, it’s better not to inquire about the news over there.”
"Fu Mo Mountain, Yue River Village?"
Le Yuan muttered these two names. He had decided to book these two places.
