"Ding ding..."
"Side quest: Four big lackeys released."
"Mission description: As a prodigal son, you must travel in style, and the more lackeys around you the better. Host, please find four lackeys within five years."
"Mission Reward: For every lackey you find, you will be rewarded with 500 exchange points. When you have collected four lackeys, you will be given a reward."
"Penalty for failure: None."
It was late at night and Chu Tianxiao was pondering the picture that appeared in his mind.
"At present, Liu Ling, Xue Yan, and two of the four lackeys have been obtained, but the mission description states that the deadline is five years, which is a bit too long..."
"Well, I'm afraid it just means that the remaining two lackeys are very difficult to find. Or... every time you find a lackey, the 'conditions' required for the next lackey will become more stringent?"
"But fortunately, this is just a harmless side quest. Since there is no penalty for failure, just take it step by step and let nature take its course."
"Hmm... Let me first think about what to redeem these 500 new exchange points for..."
Chu Tianxiao thought so and opened the "Tian Wu Jin Zang" and began to read. The long list was like a torrent, and suddenly, he caught a glimpse of something...
"Um?"
…
The next day.
A hysterical roar suddenly came from the outer edge of the Wilderness Mountains.
Looking ahead, he saw a huge ape-like beast about four people tall, with a sturdy body and covered with small wind balls all over its body. It opened its mouth and roared wildly! As its sound waves reached, a terrifying hurricane was formed. Wherever it passed, the grass and trees flew upside down. Several large trees with lush branches and leaves were broken and blown away in the hurricane.
However, in such a battle, a young man in white held a sword in front of his chest, his eyes were firm and unmoved! Like waves hitting rocks, although fierce, they could not destroy them!
"Roar! Roar! Roar!"
The monkey roared non-stop, and the young man in white gradually began to feel tired. He moved slightly backwards, leaving a long footprint. However, there was no change on his face. He looked at the monkey calmly, as if he had won the battle...
Right at this moment!
A chilling killing intent appeared behind the monkey. Before it could turn around, the black wolf claws had already passed through its limbs and bones eighteen times, hitting the target every time, and drawing blood every time! In just a moment, a shower of blood burst out from the monkey's thighs, lower abdomen, neck, etc.! Although the wound was not big and the blood loss was not much, this had completely aroused the monkey's ferocity!
It roared again, forcing the young man in white in front of it to retreat. Then, it turned around quickly, crossed its hands like a hammer, and smashed down!
whoosh!
The attacker reacted almost instantly, and dodged backwards. Although he avoided the frontal attack, he was still hit in the face by the dust at a high speed. Immediately, a stream of hot blood slowly flowed down his face.
The monkey refused to give up, but when it put its hands on the ground and ran with its feet, a ray of moonlight had already hit the back of its head hard!
Suddenly, blood gushed out!
"Die, you evil creature!"
In an instant, the young man in white seemed to have wings and approached the monkey. He pressed the Moon Sword against the monkey's neck, and a gorgeous half-moon ripple ten times more violent than before burst out, shocking the monkey back several steps. The monkey covered its neck and howled in pain!
"Stupid monkey! Stupid monkey!"
At this moment, the monkey heard this sound again. If it were in the past, with its determination as a low-level second-level beast, it would not be easily deceived. But at this moment, it was injured one after another and its strength was no longer as strong as before...
It growled angrily and was about to go find the source of the sound, but two people in front and behind approached it, forcing it to respond.
Swish!
The two men repeated their old tricks, one in front and the other behind, each using their own methods to gradually increase the monkey's injuries, while using their swift movements to avoid most of its attacks... In the end, this majestic monkey still fell to the ground in resentment, bleeding, deader than dead.
"Huff..."
After killing a Wind-Howling Ape that was comparable to a Mingyuan lower realm cultivator and was quite tough with its thick skin and flesh, the three of them were exhausted and out of breath, but everyone thought it was worth it.
"Haha... This Wind Howling Ape is considered very strong among the second-level low-level beasts, but we easily killed it! Hahaha, this is all thanks to me..."
"Um?"
"I... my brother Tianxiao and his lackeys are very skilled... is that ok?" Lu Meir stuck out her tongue.
Chu Tianxiao smiled slightly: "Okay, this Wind Howling Ape is full of treasures, let's divide it according to the old rules, um... this one should be worth 200 chips."
“Hey, hey, it’s only been a few days, and we’ve killed seven or eight first-level high-level beasts. Now we’ve even killed second-level beasts! With this result… Those people must feel uncomfortable training with you…” Lu Meir waved her hand, “You beast, now you have Ben… me as your teammate, and you inexplicably recruited a lackey to help you. Hey, is there anyone who can compare with you?”
"Hehe..." Chu Tianxiao did not comment. In fact, Lu Meir's thoughts were probably what the people who participated in this training were thinking. Chu Tianxiao also knew that... this training was basically a contest between him and Qin Yun.
"At this moment... My Mr. Right, you have temporarily gained a rebound in your luck. Isn't your gain greater than mine now? Haha... It doesn't matter. I will go to meet you after I complete the 'last step'!"
With this in mind, Chu Tianxiao stepped forward, took the core swiftly, and did a series of processing. Then he sat on the grass nearby and said, "Take a rest. Desolate Cloud Valley is just ahead."
"Um."
"Yes, young master."
The two of them responded and sat on the grass, but there was a small cushion under Lu Meir's buttocks.
Chu Tianxiao took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and sat cross-legged in meditation. Xueyan was in the same state. Lu Meir looked bored, so she took the initiative to talk to them.
"Hey, Ice Face, you're not bad. With you by my side, it's much easier to kill the beasts... You and my brother Tianxiao, one is the main attacker and the other is the sneak attacker, you're a perfect match."
"Brother Tianxiao, do you feel that the three of us are working together more and more tacitly?"
Xue Yan ignored her, and Chu Tianxiao was even less likely to pay attention to her given his unchangeable "Brother Tianxiao". Seeing this, Lu Meir felt very bored and stopped talking.
After a while, Chu Tianxiao opened his eyes and said, "Let's go."
…
Huangyun Valley is just an ordinary valley with a stream flowing outside. The valley is a bit narrow. After walking for a while, Lu Meir touched the little fox Ali in her arms, and then gently put it on the ground.
Ahri put his front paws on the ground and wagged his furry tail. After a while, he turned his head to look at the three people, made a whimpering sound, and then ran forward quickly.
“Follow me!”
Chu Tianxiao gave an order and the Feather Escape was deployed. The other two were also not slow, so the three of them followed closely behind Ahri. After a while, they passed through a pile of rocks and their vision gradually became wider...
"This is… "
Not long after, Ali stopped walking, and under the sunlight, he saw that this was an open area, surrounded by shallow water. In the center was an ancient tree with golden leaves that shone brightly.
However…
There were no fruits on the tree, only some broken branches...
