After hunting in the area where the Ankylosaurus was infested for more than half a month, Liu Yuan followed the same method and killed more than thirty adult individuals using the same method, harvested a large amount of materials, and obtained five more crystal nuclei.
However, not long after, he discovered a fact to his dismay: the remaining Ankylosaurus suddenly disappeared, as if they had evaporated out of thin air.
The smell coming from the underground was obviously still fresh, but there was no trace at all. Liu Yuan received a confusing message from the cat demon. The ant army searched underground for a long time, but there was still no clue.
Although Liu Yuan could still hunt down some lone monsters in Erdaoliang with the help of cat monsters and ant colonies, and made some scattered gains, the efficiency was obviously lowered. Calculating the contribution points, it is enough to apply for the Tianpai, but there is still half a gap between using the spiritual spring.
Do you want to enter Sandao Liang? He now faces a choice.
Although the contribution points are enough, he is not very sure whether his own strength can play well.
It's better to go back and exchange the scales, improve your strength in Fangshi, join Zheng Jing's team, or find Liu Yanshi to accompany you, and first get familiar with the situation in Sandaoliang.
The return journey was smooth sailing. Liu Yuan first came to Gongdefang in Wubao, which was still the busiest place besides Fang City.
"I'll hand in the task." Liu Yuan was stunned when he saw the list of earth characters. He immediately found the steward of Gongdefang, "Why is the task of collecting the scales of the Earth Armored Dragon missing?"
"Oh, that's right." The steward smiled professionally, thinking that you were not the first to ask. "Erdaoliang's Dijiaosaurus has encountered some situations recently. Now Master Mu has properly placed the remaining Dijisaurosaurs, so the mission has been temporarily cancelled."
Liu Yuan was shocked, and his volume increased involuntarily:
"Can the completed tasks still be redeemed?"
"Don't worry, Master Mu has given you a three-day buffer. The materials you hunted before can still be redeemed within three days. It's the last day now. If you have any scales, hurry up." The steward looked sideways at Liu Yuan. , I thought to myself, do you really have the seventh level of cultivation? "Boy, I have my word first. I don't have to accept the incomplete scales."
"I have a lot of complete ones. Can you lend me a moment?" Liu Yuan looked around and saw that there were still many disciples who were studying the lists and redeeming their contributions. It was really hard to take them out now.
"Have you ever?" The steward saw that he was of low rank and seemed to be hesitant to speak. He couldn't help but slam the table and said angrily, "You kid are here to entertain me."
This attracted more curious disciples, and the crowd gradually gathered. Those who joined behind were still asking the people in front of them what was going on. The good-hearted disciples in front not only patiently explained, but also bought one and got one free to educate everyone about the armored dragon. Task exception.
Just when Liu Yuan and the steward were in a stalemate, everyone was already whispering to each other, and the hot topic shifted from the matter at hand to the mystery of the disappearance of the armored dragon. All kinds of speculations have popped up, such as an invasion of natural enemies or an explosion of ground fire. They are getting more and more outrageous. There was even one person who let his imagination run wild and swore that he had inside information: the armored dragon clan secretly dug up the forbidden medicine and was wiped out by Master Yuanying.
"Eh? I remembered that this disciple had previously sold the bones of an Ankylosaurus in Fangshi!" the onlookers said loudly, and everyone looked at Liu Yuan again and began to discuss.
"You saw it wrong, this is only level eight."
"I think I've seen it before."
"You said he could hunt an armored dragon?"
"This is absolutely impossible."
"Maybe he picked up a ready-made body of an armored dragon."
"..."
Liu Yuan kept silent as the situation developed until everyone began to question his qualifications to hunt the Ankylosaurus, and some even pointed at Liu Yuan as if he was appraising a dish.
Liu Yuan was angry.
I don’t keep a low profile anymore.
He suddenly took out the storage bag and threw it on the table in front of the steward.
There was a bang. The bag silenced the crowd of onlookers.
"A thousand scales."
Liu An took out a heavy bag from the space storage bag.
The eyes of everyone onlookers widened. Everyone understands that with so many scales, not one Ankylosaurus can gather enough.
"A thousand scales." Liu Yuan took out a second bag of the same size.
The manager is no longer calm. He looked at Liu Yuan, then at the bag, then at Liu Yuan...
"A thousand scales." Liu Yuan took out the third bag.
Time seems to have stopped.
Except Liu Yuan.
He took out a fourth bag.
Then the fifth.
sixth……
…
Many years later, when the steward welcomes a new batch of trial disciples, he will recall that distant afternoon again. And that number.
He would never forget that number.
Thirteen thousand six hundred and fifty-eight scales.
…
On the other side, Liu Yuan received the Tianpai and pushed aside the crowd under the gazes of everyone with various meanings. He arrived at the new residence assigned to him, a familiar one-person residence.
Impulsive. he said to himself.
However, it was really enjoyable.
He recalled the scene just now. When he pushed aside the crowd, everyone took the initiative to make way for him and paid attention.
At that time, a poem sounded in his heart again:
Laughing up to the sky and going out,
How can I be a Penghao person!
…
At the same time, Tianqin Peak.
Ren Xiaowen came to the door of his master's room, arranged his clothes as usual, and then knocked softly.
"Come in." Mu Yuandi's voice was joyless and carefree.
Ren Xiaowen pushed the door open and came in. He looked at his mouth with his nose and his heart with his mouth. He lowered his eyebrows and stood with his hands lowered.
"I recently got some clues from the book. I am going to southern Xinjiang for a while to look for opportunities. It may take a year or two. You can come with me."
"I respect my master's orders." Ren Xiaowen's voice was calm and his face was full of respect.
"Raccoon slave."
"Old slave is here." After a gust of wind, Li Nu appeared out of nowhere. He glanced sideways at Ren Xiaowen who was standing by and raised his eyebrows.
"While we are away, I will ask you to take care of all the matters up and down Tianqin Peak."
"No matter what the master says, the old slave should do his best and live up to the master's trust." The raccoon slave nodded quickly.
"Besides..." Mu Yuandi looked at Li Nu, seeming to think of something, but hesitated. "...That's all. Xiaowen, go back and pack up. Let's set off today."
"Old slave... I wish Master that this trip will be a success." Li Nu also had something to say, but in the end he didn't say it out, and just replaced it with a blessing.
On this day, two rays of light appeared on Tianqin Peak and headed south.
Mu Yuandi stood on his magic weapon Liuyun Flute, his clothes fluttering. Xiaowen followed closely with the lotus leaf magic weapon, and his escape speed was not slow. He saw Tianqin Peak behind him getting smaller and smaller.
With the wind roaring under their feet, the two crossed the Trial Valley and passed the Ren family's ancestral pavilion.
Mu Yuandi looked back at Xiaowen. I saw her holding the spell in her hands, her eyes not squinting, the boundless wind blowing over her young face and her supple green hair, making her feel as if she were a fairy for a moment.
It's just like when I was young, Mu Yuandi thought to herself. She lowered her head and glanced at the Ren family's ancestral pavilion under the clouds, and started to speed up...
