The first place we set off to this time was Qingshan Town. The third-level contribution task I received was to investigate the monster attack in Qingshan Town.
Since Qingshan Town is located in the far east of the Central Territory, close to the edge of the Five Elements Mountains, the distance from Tianlong City is relatively long, and the normal journey will take a long time.
In order to save time, after leaving the academy, the four of them took flying mounts directly to Qingshan Town in Tianlong City.
On the flying mount,
"Do you know anything about Qingshan Town?"
Bai Yuntao responded: "Qingshan Town is just a border town. There are neither crystal veins nor entrances to secret realms around it. Generally, such a small town will not have powerful cultivators sitting in it, and cultivators will not go to such a small town. Small town.”
Tieshan echoed: "Judging from the information given by Gongren Palace, this Qingshan Town is, to put it bluntly, barren, without any resources, and a place where birds can't poop."
"It seems that the task in Qingshan Town is not difficult, and it may be completed soon."
"Because the contribution points rewarded by this task are relatively small, and the distance is far, the place is poor, and there are no other benefits. This Qingshan Town task has been hung in Gongren Hall for a long time without anyone taking it."
The journey is long, even if you take a flying mount, it will take a long time. Ye Hong had nothing to do and was so bored that he yawned several times.
Seeing Bai Yuntao and the three of them practicing, he couldn't do anything. He could only look down at the scenery on the ground in a boring way, shaking his head to pass the time.
Ye Hong was envious of Bai Yuntao and the others. It was not that he didn't want to practice and improve his cultivation level, but it was just that he didn't dare to practice due to his current situation.
Other people's cultivation can improve their cultivation, break through realms and increase their lifespan, but your own cultivation can increase your life.
The more Ye Hong looked at it, the more envious he became, and he wished he could try to fuse the demon core immediately to relieve his current physical condition. But he didn't dare, and still wanted to be more stable.
Bai Yuntao and Tieshan were indeed concentrating on training, but Liu Yiyi was not.
At first, Liu Yiyi was still concentrating on practicing, but when she saw that Ye Hong was not practicing like them, she stopped thinking about continuing to practice, and instead secretly observed Ye Hong.
Liu Yiyi was very curious about what Ye Hong was going to do, but after observing for a long time, she found that Ye Hong was not doing anything, which made Liu Yiyi deeply puzzled.
"What are you doing?"
"Look at the scenery!"
"Looking at the scenery? What's so special about this scenery?" Liu Yiyi wondered.
Because Ye Hong was really bored, it would be much better to have someone to talk to to relieve his boredom, and he didn't care that it was Liu Yiyi.
"Because it is very high here, the scenery is very beautiful from here. It is very boring to watch the beautiful scenery for a long time."
"You're weird! Why don't you practice?"
"A genius like me doesn't need to practice at all. How lonely it is to be invincible! You won't understand."
Hearing Ye Hong's words, Liu Yiyi silently rolled her eyes at Ye Hong.
"Since you are lonely, would you like my sister to accompany you? I will help you relieve your loneliness~" Liu Yiyi turned to Ye Hong's ear and exhaled like a blue breath, which was charming, and her slender jade fingers gently caressed Ye Hong's chest.
Ye Hong grabbed Liu Yiyi's jade hand, causing Liu Yiyi to stop moving.
"You seem to be a good person on the outside, but why do you say so many dirty words and you are not serious at all? Can't you just talk properly?"
The corners of Liu Yiyi's mouth turned up slightly, and her other hand came over, and her fingertips traced Ye Hong's cheek, which was full of charm.
"Brother Ye Hong, what do you want your sister to say?"
Seeing Liu Yiyi moving like this, Ye Hong had no choice but to grab both of Liu Yiyi's hands.
"You are playing with fire! Be careful, I will punish you on the spot!"
Liu Yiyi smiled charmingly, "My brother wants to execute my sister on the spot. My sister is looking forward to it!"
Ye Hong suddenly showed an evil smile, pushed Liu Yiyi, pressed on Liu Yiyi, and brought his face close to Liu Yiyi. There was only a palm distance between the two, and he could clearly feel the other's breathing and heartbeat.
"Since you're looking forward to it so much, I'll make it happen now!"
Liu Yiyi didn't expect Ye Hong to suddenly change his personality. Being pushed by Ye Hong unprepared, she suddenly panicked. I usually take the initiative to charm others, and then control them through magic. Everything is under my control.
But Ye Hong's own spells were completely ineffective, and he couldn't control Ye Hong. Now Ye Hong suddenly pushed him, and the distance was so close, which made him feel like he was out of control for the first time, which was very bad.
Ye Hong saw the slight change in expression on Liu Yiyi's face and sensed that Liu Yiyi's heart beat abnormally for a moment. Knowing that Liu Yiyi must have been a little panicked, Ye Hong felt proud and smiled playfully.
Then he said: "You seem to be very nervous, it can't be your first time!"
Liu Yiyi pretended to be calm and still smiled charmingly, "Isn't it the first time that my brother has tried it? I will know it. My brother will not dare to do it!"
"You think I don't dare!" Ye Hong said and got a little closer to Liu Yiyi, preparing to kiss Liu Yiyi.
Seeing Ye Hong's actions, Liu Yiyi's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, the pupils of her eyes dilated a bit, and she activated her internal strength, preparing to take action.
Just when they were about to kiss him, Ye Hong suddenly raised his head and smiled evilly.
"This place is thousands of feet high in the sky. Do you really want to take action?"
Liu Yiyi pretended not to understand, "Why do you want to do something? You are not good at it!"
"You're so ugly that I can't even speak to you!" Ye Hong sneered, and when he got up, he touched Liu Yiyi's breasts and wiped the oil.
"You!" Liu Yiyi was extremely angry.
Ye Hong joked proudly: "You have a pretty good figure."
Being teased by Ye Hong, Liu Yiyi suddenly felt unhappy. She snorted coldly at Ye Hong and turned away angrily.
Bai Yuntao and Bai Yuntao didn't know whether they were too focused on cultivation and didn't notice Ye Hong and Liu Yiyi's actions, or they pretended not to notice and didn't open their eyes the whole way.
After a long flight, the group finally arrived at Qingshan Town.
Qingshan Town is said to be close to the edge of the Five Elements Mountains, but in fact it is not far away from the Five Elements Mountains. Moreover, there is a deep rift between the town and the Five Elements Mountains, which naturally isolates Qingshan Town.
If you want to complete the task, you first need to go to the Yao family in Qingshan Town. This task was jointly requested by several major families in Qingshan Town, led by the Yao family, to request Golden Dragon Academy to investigate, so you must go to the Yao family to learn the details.
The Yao family is considered a well-known wealthy family in Qingshan Town. After a little inquiry in the town, they found out their address, and then the four of them headed to the Yao family's mansion.
Arriving at the Yao family's mansion, Tieshan stepped forward and said to the gatekeeper: "We are from Golden Dragon Academy. We were invited by your Qingshan Town to help you investigate the monster attack."
It was Ye Hong's first time on a mission and he was not very familiar with what to do. Moreover, this mission was accepted in the name of Yi Tieshan, so Tieshan was responsible for all communication.
When the gatekeeper heard that Tieshan said he was from Golden Dragon Academy, he rushed into the house to inform.
Soon after, there was a person in Yao Mansion who walked quickly, three steps and two steps at a time, to the door to greet Tieshan and his party.
"I am Yao Qing, the master of Yao Mansion. Please come in quickly! Welcome to Qingshan Town!"
"Master Yao, this is the mission authorization letter. Take a look at it!" Tieshan handed Yao Qing a certificate.
Yao Qing took it and took a look, making sure it was correct, and greeted the four of them warmly, "Don't rush into the matter of monsters. Let's go to the mansion first. I will order people to call several other family heads, and then we will discuss it in detail in the mansion."
In response to Yao Qing's words, Ye Hong and the others had to go to Yao's house to rest for a while and introduce each other.
"Master Yao, please tell us about this monster first!"
Yao Qing was troubled and said: "To be honest, I don't know the situation very clearly. I have never encountered this monster before, so I don't know what kind of monster it is."
"I wonder what kind of monster it is?" Everyone was surprised.
"This monster only appears at night, and it is extremely fast. We have not seen its true appearance. Moreover, this monster is very good at hiding, and it is impossible to capture its location."
"Haunted at night, very good at hiding, and very fast?" Ye Hong frowned and muttered in a low voice, constantly searching in his mind for what kind of monster could fit this characteristic.
Bai Yuntao asked: "Hasn't anyone who was attacked seen it?"
Yao Qing was helpless, "Everyone who was attacked by the monster has been killed on the spot, leaving no one alive. Every time the monster appears, someone will die in the town. From the first time the monster appeared to now, there have been no less than A dozen people died.”
Everyone couldn't help but frown when they heard Yao Qing's heartbroken expression that more than a dozen people had died due to monsters.
"Master Yao, are you sure it was done by monsters and not humans?"
"The person with the highest cultivation level in Qingshan Town is me in the early stage of Jindan. If it was man-made, it is impossible that even I can't catch up. And I have checked that the wound of the deceased was not caused by a sharp weapon.
The victims who were attacked all had obvious claw marks on their bodies, and the wounds on their necks were also in the shape of monster fangs. "
Ye Hong said, "Master Yao, can you take us to check on the deceased? Only after we determine what kind of monster is it can we capture it."
Immediately, Yao Qing led Ye Hong and the four of them to a cellar, opened the stone door, and felt a blast of cold air.
Feeling the coolness, the four of them immediately frowned.
Yao Qing explained: "The preserved corpses are placed here. Since there is a hundred years of ice in the cellar, it will be relatively cold."
Following Yao Qing, everyone came to a corpse.
Yao Qing pointed to the corpses next to him and said to the four of them: "These are the corpses."
Everyone looked around and found that it was indeed as Yao Qing said. Several corpses were covered with claw marks, and the bones were deeply visible. The necks were bitten to pieces. Some of them were beyond recognition and were very disgusting.
Due to the centuries-old ice in the cellar, the body was considered well preserved and had not decomposed. However, it is still not possible to determine the specific monster from the claw marks on the corpse.
It can only be initially judged that it is a kind of monster with sharp claws and fangs. It uses sharp claws to attack. It is relatively ferocious and can bite its prey.
Judging from the distance between the claw marks, the monster is not very big. Considering that Yao Qing said that this monster is extremely fast, it is likely that it is an agile and petite monster.
There are many monsters that match these characteristics, and it is not certain which one they are.
When people from other families called by Yao Qing arrived, Ye Hong and the other four also made some inquiries to learn about the monster. But as Yao Qing said, they didn't know what kind of monster was responsible, and no one had seen it.
Some people don't know the details that Yao Qing knows, so it's better not to ask.
"Besides you, is there anyone else in the town whose family has been attacked by the same monsters as yours?"
Yao Qing took inventory and said: "Most of the family members who have been attacked by monsters are here. Only the Yuan family and the Zhang family are not here."
At this time, several family heads behind Yao Qing spoke.
"The Yuan family was afraid of being attacked by monsters again. I saw that they had moved out of Qingshan Town this morning and went to join their relatives."
"The Zhang family seems to be holding a funeral today, so I didn't come over."
