After Gao Xingyu and others left, in the grass about a mile away from where they had just stayed, a long-beaked bird that was very common in the wild boar forest suddenly tilted its head and died mysteriously in its nest. After a while,
, a small insect emerged from the bird's curved beak.
The little bug is only the size of an adult's little fingernail. It is completely black and its head actually accounts for more than half of the entire body, making it look very weird.
The little insect stood up in the direction where the human monk left. The two long tentacles on its head opened and trembled constantly, as if it was trying its best to sense something.
After a while, the little bug landed on its front feet and fell back to the ground. It turned its big head left and right a few times and stared at a beast-level goshawk flying in the sky hundreds of meters away for food. The goshawk's body shook violently.
After a few times, it seemed to be under control and landed in an extremely uncoordinated flying posture.
The little insect walked over leisurely, climbed up the body of the goshawk very naturally, and hid among the fluffy feathers on the goshawk's neck.
The goshawk struggled again, then waved its powerful wings as if resigned to its fate, and returned to the sky with a short run-up.
The goshawk circled in place for several times, and then flew rapidly towards the opposite direction of the human monks' direction - Cangyuan Linhai.
…
Gao Xingyu and others returned to Qunyu City, and met a small team of city guards on the way. They were reinforcements who rushed in after receiving a signal for help.
The two sides joined forces and returned to Qunyu City smoothly.
Since Chen Honghui had previously sent a signal for help, which led to the dispatch of the City Guards, they first went to the joint inspection station of the mission hall and the City Guards at the south gate to explain what happened during this trip.
After leaving the checkpoint, everyone said goodbye to each other and was about to leave, when suddenly a monk ran out of the checkpoint.
"Senior Xu, Senior Chen, Senior Master, and Master Tian of the Mission Hall have just sent word. Several elders in the alliance are very interested in your experience in this operation. If it is convenient for the three of you now, please go to the headquarters of the Mission Hall.
The elder wants to know more about the situation."
Gao Xingyu and the other three looked at each other and nodded. Since the alliance boss summoned them, let's go.
Gao Xingyu glanced back at the checkpoint. He had just discovered inside the checkpoint that a "Mirage" formation had been deployed there.
This formation is a child-mother formation, which is very similar to the surveillance system in the secular world, but more advanced. The mother formation is located in the mission hall headquarters, and the sub-arrays are located at the checkpoints of the four city gates, as well as in the inner city and living areas.
task release station.
Through the mother array, not only the sounds and images in the sub-arrays can be monitored in real time, but even the breath and subtle energy fluctuations can be clearly and accurately perceived.
Gao Xingyu knew clearly that they must have been targeted by people from the mission hall headquarters when they were being questioned just now.
Thinking about it, this group of low-level monks from the Earth Realm seem to be left alone, but as they hope to increase the base of human monks in the Miaoji Realm, they are silently watched by the alliance's top brass.
The fact that Yi Youxin Wenxin was appointed as the leader of Zhang Encai's team and accompanied them through the transition period when they first arrived in the world is proof of this.
In the same way, for a simple trip out of the city to be escorted by a powerful team of adventurers like the Flame Team, it must not be because of the high mission rewards.
Therefore, if their team is in danger when they go out, it will naturally attract special attention from the league's top brass.
The three of them said a few words to their companions, then boarded the carriage at the checkpoint and headed to the mission hall headquarters.
The mission hall headquarters is also located in the outer city, not far from the east gate of the inner city. The carriage only used a stick of incense to transport several people to the place.
The Mission Hall has sent people waiting at the door to take them into the headquarters and into a quiet courtyard at the back.
"Several fellow Taoists have returned from traveling. They should have gone back to settle down and rest first. Unfortunately, several seniors are very interested in your experience during this trip, so I have to ask you fellow Taoists to stay here overnight. I hope you will forgive me for any offense I have offended.
"
Tian Xingye, the on-duty leader of the mission hall, was a fat middle-aged man with a friendly face. He stood in the middle of the courtyard waiting for Gao Xingyu and others. He apologized as soon as he opened his mouth, not caring about his identity as the leader of the mission hall.
"I don't dare. Hall Master Tian has summoned you for something, and we must obey." The three of them bowed together and saluted.
Gao Xingyu did not know this Hall Master Tian, but Xu Zhibiao and Chen Honghui often dealt with him.
Tian Xingye is a rising star in the alliance with outstanding talent. He is just over 100 years old and is already at the mid-level foundation stage.
Moreover, he is not the kind of monk who is busy in asceticism. He is good at communication and well-rounded. He is the best candidate for a department like the Mission Hall that deals with people all the time.
It is said that the upper echelons of the alliance are very optimistic about him and have been focusing on training him. If he can form a false core, he will definitely have a place among the three leaders of the alliance in the future.
Tian Xingye accompanied the three people into the main room, where two old men were drinking tea.
"These two seniors are Elder Wu and Elder Mo from the alliance. They want to know more about your experience during this trip. Fellow Daoist Xu, please introduce it in detail."
Tian Xingye and others took their seats, arranged for the maid to serve spiritual tea, and then went straight to the topic.
Xu Zhibiao was called by name. He organized his words and told his experience of this trip in detail.
Gao Xingyu was thinking while listening.
There are nearly a hundred elders in the alliance, all of them are foundation-building monks who have served as directors or above in various halls, but are too old to be promoted to the rank of false elixir.
The Presbyterian Council formed by them has certain real power, and the Presbyterian Council participates in voting when the alliance makes major decisions.
Due to their short lifespan, most of the elders spend their days entertaining their grandchildren at home and recuperating behind closed doors. However, there are also those who like to sit idle and take the initiative to apply for the status of inspectors from the alliance to supervise the work of various departments and use their spare energy.
At present, these two elders should be the patrols arranged by the alliance in the mission hall.
It is estimated that they just saw the process of explaining their travel experience through the "Mirage" formation, but they just don't know where their focus is.
The two elders listened patiently to Xu Zhibiao's narration. They didn't ask questions about several details until he finished speaking.
Xu Zhibiao and Chen Honghui answered respectively, and about half an hour later, the two elders ended their questioning.
Elder Wu, who was tall and lanky, turned to Gao Xingyu and asked eagerly: "Little friend Gao, according to what Xu Daoyou said, it was you who predicted the exact location of the two Fengxing raccoons in advance, and they were able to easily kill the Fengxing raccoons.
I am very happy to see the hunter, so I asked the mission hall to invite you to come with me. If it does not involve inheritance of secrets or personal privacy, I hope that you will not hesitate to give me some advice."
Only then did Gao Xingyu realize that it was his acquisition of that trace of true spirit power that caused a qualitative change in the power of the soul, which attracted their attention.
However, the power of the true spirit is the foundation of Taiyuantian's inheritance and cannot be revealed. And the fact that the true artifact of the Dingshen Bell exists must not be told to others. Gao Xingyu fell into deep thought.
