"This year's batch of mercenaries, only ten of them can be left." Li Qiu had a thought in his mind, and glanced at the shocked mercenaries in Lan Yuetian. So many died at once, and there was no movement for a long time. He was so scared that he was trembling on the spot.
"You guys, why are you still dawdling?"
Li Qiu urged: "There is only one and a half days left in the collection time. This is the best time. If I don't reach the quantity required by His Highness Ninth Prince, won't I be punished?"
Zhao Fan raised his head and asked with an anxious look: "Master Li Qiu, I wonder how many orchid moon grass His Highness the Ninth Prince wants? Seventy-two mercenaries have fallen now. In the remaining day and a half, twenty-eight of us will also die." Not much can be collected..."
"Yes, we have few people, so how can we collect it?"
"Sigh, I've heard a long time ago that the failure rate of this desperate mission is high. I really regret it."
"I didn't expect that the accident was man-made."
The mercenaries complained after Zhao Fan finished speaking.
Li Qiu stared at the plain-looking white-robed figure below and said, "When I came here, I told you not to ask questions that you shouldn't ask."
Then, he moved his fingers to take the scattered bags in the Orchid Moon Field in front of him and put them away, "I, Supervisor Renyi, the fallen mercenary, the Orchid Moon Grass collected by me shall be in your name."
Upon hearing this, many mercenaries' eyes lit up, and their anger towards Li Qiu suddenly subsided.
They were not related to the fallen mercenary, and they were able to get two to three Orchid Moon Grasses for free, which was equivalent to submitting the mission two or three times!
Hongxue sent a message and said: "Brother Zaixuan, please stop saying a few words. Li Qiu may decide what tricks he will play next, and he will not stop until more than half of our remaining mercenaries are killed. You must not Got targeted.”
"Well, thank you for the reminder." Zhao Fan nodded, picked up the shovel, and started collecting step by step.
Many mercenaries also began to invest in a new round of collection, as if nothing had happened.
And at this moment.
Li Qiu felt the imperial palace token on his body vibrating, and then his thoughts moved. Then, he respectfully conveyed: "Your Majesty the Ninth Highness."
"How's it going over there at Lan Yuetian?" His Highness Ninth Prince's voice was as cold as the ice and snow of endless years, chilling the bones of Li Qiu Capital.
"Your Highness Ninth Prince, everything goes well." Li Qiuhui reported: "So far, seventy-eight of the one hundred mercenaries have died in accidents."
"Are you still satisfied with the spirit of the Demonic Origin Flower?"
His Highness Ninth Prince asked again.
"It is quite satisfied." Li Qiu responded with a smile: "Probably, it will be fed tonight, so I will terminate the mission early, and after dispatching the remaining mercenaries, I will invite the Demonic Origin Flower back to your hall. "
"Well, I hope there won't be any mistakes." His Highness the Ninth Prince warned: "I spent more than a hundred years and used 10,000 mercenaries as a guide. This year is the most critical one. Do you understand?"
"Understood!" Li Qiu nodded repeatedly. As a loyal loyalist trusted by His Highness the Ninth Prince, he had supervised dozens of Orchid Moon Grass missions. This couldn't be clearer. The techniques practiced by His Highness Ninth Prince came from the tomb of an unknown emperor.
Since more than a hundred years ago, during this period of every year, it is necessary to use the Heavenly Demon Source Flower to assist in cultivation. But this year, if nothing unexpected happens, you will be able to perfectly control that powerful technique, and you will be able to achieve the top level of accuracy in one fell swoop. emperor!
The appearance of the Heavenly Demon Source Flower is very different from that of the Orchid Moon Grass. Without the eyesight of a quasi-emperor, one cannot perceive any difference at all.
In the entire inner chaos, dating back to the present day, there are only five Heavenly Demon Source Flowers in existence!
Once you take this flower, you can become a demon, even a mortal, comparable to a quasi-emperor!
Not only that, the Demon Source Flower can be refined into an imperial weapon!
This Heavenly Demon Source Flower hidden among the Orchid Moon Grass was brought back with the technique from the Tomb of the Unknown Emperor by His Highness the Ninth Prince. It is an indispensable part of practicing that technique, but it needs to be used when using it. Absorb sufficient blood.
Especially at the moment when the skill is perfectly controlled, it can be directly transformed into an exclusive imperial weapon. Based on this, there is basically no threat to the Emperor!
"Then I will wait for you to return with the Heavenly Demon Source Flower in the palace." After His Highness Ninth Prince finished speaking, he interrupted the communication.
Li Qiu was in the sky, thinking, "If His Highness the Ninth Prince becomes the strongest quasi-emperor, then as her confidant, wouldn't it mean that my status and reputation will rise with the tide? Speaking of which, I have to thank that idiot Yu Liang, not him If you fall, how can I have a chance to take over this secret mission?"
There were more than a hundred orchid moon grass missions, and the previous dozens of them were supervised by the imperial palace guard named Yuliang. However, because the demon source flower did not absorb enough blood, His Highness Ninth Prince became demonic and was chopped into pieces. mud……
"Tonight is the end." A smile spread on Li Qiu's face.
…
below.
Among the orchid moon fields.
The scattered mercenaries swung their shovels slowly.
"Um?"
At this moment, Zhao Fan's eyes locked on a plant of Orchid Moon Grass not far away.
At first glance, it looks like normal orchid moon grass, with no difference.
But Zhao Fan, who has a keen spiritual sense, always feels that the Orchid Moon Grass seems to be different because of this unintentional glance.
After all, he possesses the quasi-emperor's artistic conception, and with the blessing of the quasi-emperor's artistic conception, his whole body, including his perception, has surpassed the height of invincibility.
Even if you don't consciously sense it, you will feel something is wrong just by scanning it casually.
Zhao Fan stared at the Orchid Moon Grass, quietly releasing his senses, wanting to penetrate into it to find out.
The next moment.
Zhao Fan found that when his perception touched the other party's surface, it actually triggered a surge of repulsion, and he pushed him away directly with his perception!
"This is... such a strong demonic energy."
Zhao Fan was startled for a moment, and he tentatively sensed other orchid moon grasses, but found nothing unusual.
Zhao Fan did not act rashly, but carefully compared the appearance of that orchid moon grass with other orchid moon grasses.
The buds, leaves, and stems are exactly the same.
Only the small section very close to the soil is covered with a layer of fine fluff.
"Could it be a mutated orchid moon grass?"
Zhao Fan thought for a moment, then gave up the orchid moon grass he was digging, stood up curiously, and walked towards the target.
at this time.
Invisibly, a frightened and angry voice reached Li Qiu's ears floating above: "Stop him! Stop him!"
It’s the voice of Tianmoyuanhua!
Li Qiu suddenly trembled and almost fell from the air. This was a very important thing for His Highness Ninth Prince. If anything went wrong, he would die miserably!
Li Qiu's eyes fell on the Heavenly Demon Source Flower mixed among the Orchid Moon Grass, and found that it was the white-robed monk who had made him extremely unhappy before, and he actually walked closer to the Heavenly Demon Source Flower...
"stop!"
Li Qiu came to Zhao Fan with an angry look, "If you don't collect the Orchid Moon Grass, what are you going to do? Do you want to violate the regulations of your Chaos Mercenary Alliance and abandon the mission without authorization?"
"I...I have an urgent need to urinate." Zhao Fan rubbed his lower abdomen, feeling depressed.
"Urgent urination? After all, it's the Seventh Tribulation Supreme. So what's the problem if you don't poop for endless years? There's only one day left. When the three days are up, you can do whatever you want!" Li Qiu said with a gloomy face, "I'll tell you back. Continue collecting at the location and don’t move around.”
"oh."
Zhao Fan turned around and thought about it as he walked. Previously, he only thought that the orchid moon grass had mutated and had nothing to do with Li Qiu or the death rate of this mission. But now, he had just taken a few steps closer to the orchid moon grass, and Li Qiu moved as fast as he could. Speed interception even brought out the banner of the Chaos Mercenary Alliance!
Abnormal indeed!
Even if Zhao Fan wanders around, there is no need for Li Qiu to land. Can he just drink from the sky and stop?
This means that there is an unknown relationship between the Orchid Moon Grass, which contains powerful demonic properties, and Li Qiu!
Not only that, the causal connection between Li Qiu's continuous avoidance of mercenary medals and the killing of many mercenaries may not be a spur-of-the-moment fun, but maybe it's because of the magical Orchid Moon Grass...
"His Royal Highness Ninth asked Li Qiu to issue the Orchid Moon Grass mission, and he killed more than half of the mercenaries. In the end, the number of Orchid Moon Grass successfully collected was greatly reduced, and he couldn't meet the deadline at all. Since he did this, he didn't worry about being punished. .”
Zhao Fan pondered in his heart, "It should be the order given by His Highness the Ninth Prince. The drunkard's intention is not to drink, but to collect orchid moon grass? Otherwise, how could Li Qiu have the courage to disobey his master!"
"This idiot almost ruined His Highness Ninth Prince's important matter. If there is an accident with Tian Moyuan Flower, even my life will be at risk! However, he is the Supreme Lord of Seven Tribulations. He should not have noticed any clues. It is just a coincidence. ." Li Qiu returned to the sky, and most of his attention was focused on Zhao Fan all the time, lest he wander around again.
below.
Zhao Fan picked up the shovel and dropped it on the soil. He was thinking about how to "make trouble".
After a while, Zhao Fan thought of a clever plan.
"That's it!"
Zhao Fan raised the shovel in his hand and stabbed the extremely hard soil hard.
One after another.
Li Qiu sneered in her heart: "The range of movements is so large, any mistake may cause the orchid moon grass being collected to be poisoned, please die quickly!"
finally!
Zhao Fan's seventh shovel fell suddenly, and his hand slipped!
The rebound force when it came into contact with the soil caused the shovel to be released, and the shovel shot towards the magical orchid moon grass like a stream of light! ! !
Not only that, Zhao Fan's most powerful and invincible power is implicitly integrated into the tip of the shovel, and there is even a hint of coercion from the Chaos Beast King!
This moment.
Li Qiu, who was floating in the sky, looked at Zhao Fan's shovel and its direction. He sneered and froze, replaced by a look of shock.
He subconsciously released his instantaneous means, trying to intercept the Heavenly Demon Source Flower before it was tackled!
Click!
boom! ! !
The first sound was as clean and crisp as a knife cutting tofu, without any sloppiness. The Heavenly Demon Source Flower was cut off at the sound. The demonic nature in it was suppressed by the great emperor's power. The whole root was absorbed by the power of the shovel tip. , destroyed into a complete mess, reduced to a fragmentary mixture of silk powder!
The second sound was Li Qiu's instant source technique, which intercepted Lonely, penetrated the afterimage of the shovel in the void, and landed on Lan Yuetian's ground!
The invincible power of the Ten Tribulations, although it was not a full-scale effort, but just a reasonable way to intercept the shovel, still shook a large area of Orchid Moon Grass in the surrounding area and turned it into poison!
Within the range, in addition to Zhao Fan, there were fifteen mercenaries including Hong Xue!
"seal up!"
Zhao Fan had already made a thought and placed a blind barrier on the surface of the mercenaries' bodies to isolate them from the permeating poisonous fragrance. Even if he only cares about Hongxue and doesn't care about the life and death of other mercenaries, he doesn't want to harm innocent people because of himself.
And Li Qiu looked at the Heavenly Demon Source Flower that was destroyed to the point of being lifeless, and fell into a daze, completely unaware of Zhao Fan's series of deliberately concealed actions.
"died……"
"The Demonic Source Flower is dead!"
"The shovel that bounced past was just a shovel, and I... didn't stop it!"
"I am done!"
Li Qiu's face turned pale, and her consciousness was in chaos.
The mercenaries within the poisonous range of Lanyue Grass were all terrified, even Hongxue was no exception.
But after one breath, two breaths, and ten breaths later, they were pleasantly surprised to find that they had no signs of poisoning!
"I...am not dead?"
“I don’t know what’s going on, but it’s definitely a good thing!”
"It scared me to death. At this moment, I realized how precious life is..."
The mercenaries cried with joy.
Hongxue said with a smile: "Everyone, we are really lucky, but it is best to leave the poisoned area first."
After they reacted, they all escaped into their respective space treasures and retreated to other areas of Lan Yuetian.
"Brother Zaixuan, hurry up." Hongxue shouted to Zhao Fan.
"I was so scared that my hand slipped and the shovel flew away, which almost killed you."
Zhao Fan patted his chest in "fear", turned into a stream of light, and retreated to a safe area. Then he looked at Li Qiu in the sky, who looked like his parents were dead, and a smirk flashed at the corner of his mouth.
Immediately, he said loudly and ashamed: "Master Li Qiu, I also accidentally let the shovel fly. Fortunately, no innocent casualties were caused. I hope you can forgive me..."
