When Qiu Kuier saw the task card in Su Chen's hand, rejection was written all over her face.
The reason is that Su Chen's mission is to go to a place called "Eight Tomb Mountain".
Legend has it that there was an ancient battlefield there.
There were eight great sages and powerful men who defended the country from foreign enemies and eventually died for the country.
Therefore, in order to commemorate them, the people of that country built eight large tombs for them on the mountain. This is where the name "Eight Tomb Mountain" comes from.
This task is not difficult. You only need to go to Bafeng Mountain to find a herb called Yefenxiang.
This "night grave incense" is a specialty of Bafeng Mountain.
And it only appears at night. ?.?????.???
The key difficulty of this mission lies not in this night grave incense plant, but in the Eight Graves Mountain at night!
It is said that because that place was a war-torn place, countless monks died after fighting there.
So every night, it can be said that hundreds of ghosts walk in the night, which is extremely terrifying!
Okra'er naturally didn't want to come into contact with these ghostly things.
"Why would you want to take on this kind of mission? This mission has been pending for a long time and no one is willing to take it."
Su Chen smiled and asked, "Senior sister, is there any problem with this? How can we, the practitioners, be afraid of monsters and demons?"
"Who said you're scared? I'm not scared, I just think those things are a bit disgusting."
Seeing that Su Chen insisted on doing this task, Qiu Kuier changed the subject and immediately said, "I suddenly remembered that I can't do the task with you, junior brother. I have something very urgent to do, and I almost forgot about it." Got it!"
As she said that, she muttered "Look at my brain" and walked away quickly.
Seeing Okra slipping away, Su Chen was not disappointed, but instead felt happy.
He was not happy to let Qiu Kuier follow him. After all, having one more person by his side would make it inconvenient to take action and there were many restrictions, but he was too embarrassed to refuse.
Now that Qiu Kui'er left on his own initiative, Su Chen was also happy.
Su Chen took the mission card and went to complete the procedures for leaving the sect.
In the process of going through the formalities.
Su Chen saw Elder Di coming towards him.
"I heard you were attacked?"
Su Chenxin said, "You don't know yet whether you have been attacked or not?" But on the surface he said it seriously.
"Yes, I don't know who attacked me in the bamboo forest. I lost, but the strange thing is that he didn't really hurt me in the end."
There are eight hundred minds between these two people. They know each other well, but they still pretend to be dumbfounded as if nothing has happened.
"I will investigate this matter."
Elder Di revealed this matter with just one sentence.
Then he looked at the pass token in Su Chen's hand and asked seemingly casually, "Do you want to leave the sect?"
"Well, I'm going to do a mission. I also want to make some contribution to the sect."
Su Chen came up with such a high-sounding reason.
Elder Di couldn't refute it at all.
You can't say, don't go, the sect doesn't need your contribution, right?
"Where to go?"
"Eight Tomb Mountain."
Elder Di frowned slightly.
"That place is often haunted by strange things. Are you sure you want to go there?"
Elder Di actually wanted to dissuade him.
He didn't want anything to happen to Su Chen.
For some reason, when he knew that Su Chen was leaving the sect, he felt faintly uneasy deep in his heart.
But Su Chen was determined to leave, "I am upright and not afraid of weirdness."
Elder Di hesitated to speak, because when he saw Su Chen's determined expression, he knew that this guy couldn't be persuaded at all.
"In that case, be careful yourself."
Elder Di is not related to him, nor is he his master, so naturally he can't control him too much.
Su Chen insisted on leaving the clan, so he could only let him go.
Elder Di patted Su Chen on the shoulder and left.
Su Chen didn't hesitate and walked directly towards the door.
The moment he walked out of the sect.
Su Chen felt something special in his heart.
This is the first time he has left the sect since he entered the Shushan Sect.
It's like a bird in a cage that suddenly escapes from the cage one day.
Of course, if, as a caged bird, he could become a ninety-thousand-mile Kunpeng in the future, Su Chen would still be happy to stay.
Didn't think much about it.
Su Chen left the sect immediately.
And not long after Su Chen left the sect.
Soon a pair of eyes stared at him.
That man was also dressed in black and masked.
But his figure is slim and exquisite.
It was obvious that she was a woman.
She took out a portrait and made sure again and again that the person she just saw was the same as the person in the portrait.
His eyes suddenly sparkled with light!
Then he set off, following Su Chen from a distance.
The body is like a phantom, elusive.
…
When Su Chen came to Bafeng Mountain.
It happened to be darkening.
Many people began to come down from the mountain.
Su Chen did the opposite.
But since Su Chen hid his whereabouts after arriving at the Eight Tombs Mountain, no one saw his abnormal behavior.
The person who was originally following Su Chen was shocked when he saw Su Chen disappear in front of her eyes.
After searching to no avail, the message was quickly passed on.
…
Soon after.
Su Chen's figure quietly appeared in front of the graves.
This is the Forest of Steles in Bafeng Mountain.
The tombs where the eight great sages are buried are not here.
That place has been sealed off and ordinary people cannot enter at all.
Here are the tombstones erected by the descendants of those soldiers who died in the war. Because the war was so tragic at that time, later generations could not find the bodies of their ancestors.
So I found a random place and set up a tombstone.
Later, more people followed suit and erected monuments, and this forest of steles was formed.
When Su Chen's figure appeared in front of this forest of steles.
Suddenly I felt like I was punched in the face.
Someone kicked me in the stomach.
Someone scratched my back.
Most people would go crazy on the spot if they were suddenly hit like this in a place like this.
Not to mention so many times.
But Su Chen was very calm.
“These ghosts can already cause real harm to people, which shows that they have successfully cultivated.
At the very least, he has the strength of a ghostly soldier. "
but.
These attacks were insignificant to Su Chen.
despite this.
He won't let these things go unchecked. It's not his character to be beaten in vain.
He immediately opened his eyes.
When he entered his eyes, he saw two unrecognizable fierce souls showing off their power in front of him.
Look back again.
Densely packed soul bodies were floating, one next to another, almost all stuck together, and it was impossible to count them.
It can be said to be an absolute nightmare for patients with trypophobia.
Su Chen turned around and saw another Li Hun. At this time, they all seemed to know that Su Chen had seen them.
For a moment, their mouths opened wide at the same time, almost reaching the back of their ears.
However.
The scene where Su Chen was scared to the point of pissing his pants as expected by the powerful souls did not appear.
Su Chen calmly stretched out his hand and activated his soul-devouring body, absorbing the nearest spirit that had just punched him on the spot and turning it into his own nourishment!
This scene.
The remaining two spirits were shocked.
After they reacted, they wanted to escape one after another.
But Su Chen was faster than them!
Using his hands in tandem, he pinched their necks accurately, and activated his soul-devouring body to absorb them all!
The two fierce souls each let out a howl of ghosts and wolves, and then disappeared without a trace in an instant.
And these two ghost cries also made more souls notice Su Chen's existence!
To the souls in this area, Su Chen's arrival is like a wolf entering the sheepfold!
And he’s a wolf that never has enough to eat!
Su Chen started his harvest feast!
But not all souls will be absorbed by him.
Su Chen would always walk around those loyal and brave soldiers who defended their home and country but were homeless themselves.
The remaining souls in this area are enough for Su Chen to "eat" enough.
…
The night sky was covered in ink, and a bright moon hung high.
In the Bafen Mountain, under the moonlight, three figures were walking in the sparse forest.
"We have been searching for three days. Is there any Nether Vine here?"
The tall and thin man on the right among the three said with a hint of resentment in his words.
They patrolled the Eight Tombs Mountain at night.
The purpose is to find a treasure called "Netherworld Vine Beard".
The Nether Vine is a living vine that actively attacks people.
Behead it and remove its roots, which can be used as medicine.
It is one of the formulas of many high-level elixirs.
Someone at the foot of the mountain is offering a high price.
And spread the news that this kind of treasure is hidden in this mountain.
The Netherworld Vine grows in the place where Yin Qi gathers. It is not surprising that this thing is hidden in the Eight Tombs Mountain.
Since some people say they have seen it and are willing to spend a lot of money to buy it.
Naturally, many people went up the mountain to look for it.
The combination of these three people is one of the teams.
The three of them are a brother-sister combination, the eldest brother Fang Yishan, the second brother Fang Qianyuan, and the younger sister Fang Yuanyuan.
But this Netherworld Vine seems not as easy to find as imagined.
The three of them searched the mountain for three days and three nights, but could not find any trace of this thing.
Fang Qianyuan, who had the most irritable temper, was the first to show impatience.
"Be patient. If it's so easy to find, why would the person offering the reward pay such a high price?"
Fang Yishan next to him sounded quite dissatisfied, and he was quite speechless about his second brother's temper.
If the other party hadn't insisted on following him, he would have wanted to go up the mountain alone.
If it weren't for the fear that the second brother would go up the mountain alone in anger.
He really didn't want to take it.
After the second brother said he wanted to go up the mountain, the younger sister also wanted to follow him.
He had no choice but to take them up the mountain with him.
After being told by the elder brother.
Fang Qianyuan finally stopped.
He was just complaining. He still didn't dare to be too presumptuous in front of his elder brother.
The three of them continued walking forward for a while.
Fang Yishan suddenly stretched out his hands to stop them.
And made a silent gesture!
Neither Fang Qianyuan nor Fang Yuanyuan spoke.
Fang Qianyuan wanted to ask, but Fang Yishan glared back.
Fang Yishan motioned for the two of them to follow him, slowed down and moved forward.
The three of them walked forward cautiously.
After pushing aside a patch of thorns, a thick black vine came into view.
The roots of this black vine are buried deep in the ground.
But on the other end, it stood tall and danced like a long snake in the moonlight.
It was the Nether Vine they had been searching for for many days!
Fang Qianyuan was so excited that he rushed out immediately.
