"Jiejie..."
Mo Ying screamed and charged straight towards Jiang Xiaofan. The mercenaries around him all turned pale with fright. This Mo Ying was a level four monster, and it was definitely not something that the white-striped mercenaries like them could deal with!
Seeing the appearance of these mercenaries, Jiang Xiaofan could only sigh. They were used to support the scene and fight in groups, but in the face of powerful monsters and enemies, these people were almost useless.
But since Jiang Xiaofan agreed to join forces with everyone and advance and retreat together, he naturally had no choice but to take action against this monster!
Jiang Xiaofan and Yixia looked at each other and nodded. Over such a long time, the two had experienced life and death several times, and they already had a tacit understanding. With just one look, Yixia understood what Jiang Xiaofan meant.
As soon as Yixia raised her hand, the soul-locking spirit bow appeared in her hand. She picked up the bow and nocked an arrow, and the flaming arrows instantly condensed on the bow string. Jiang Xiaofan also had the beast mad sword in his hand, and the sword clanked.
The martial body was instantly activated, and Jiang Xiaofan secretly raised the martial spirit in his body to the extreme. Now he has reached the realm of earth martial arts, and he is not afraid to face the fourth-level monsters!
"Jie..."
Mo Ying rushed towards Jiang Xiaofan in an instant. Before Jiang Xiaofan could attack, Yi Xia had already struck first!
The arrow shot directly into the eye of the goshawk with a "swish" sound. The rapidly flying goshawk was actually hit in the eye with one blow, which is enough to show that Isha's archery skills have reached a very precise and sophisticated level!
Being attacked by the soul-locking arrows, Isha was not polite at all. He kept pulling the long bow, and the arrows condensed instantly. On average, he could shoot an arrow every two seconds or so. The attack frequency was not unpleasant!
At this time, Jiang Xiaofan's arms were filled with a large amount of martial energy, and the Wind Blade had already accumulated. As he raised the blade, three sword energy blasted out instantly, directly submerging Mo Ying!
A series of attacks only lasted for more than ten seconds, but the energy that exploded instantly was absolutely incomparable to these mercenaries!
Originally, everyone was dissatisfied that they were assigned to Jiang Xiaofan's team instead of following Zhao Jin, a blue-striped mercenary, but now looking at Jiang Xiaofan's strength, he is definitely better than Zhao Jin!
The sword energy dissipated, and now Mo Ying's wings were damaged, dangling in the air, as if he would fall to the ground at any time.
Seeing that he couldn't beat him, Mo Ying was so smart that he turned around and flew directly into the distance. Who would have thought that the arrow was like a life-threatening iron chain, catching up directly and piercing his head directly from the back of his head.
.
Seeing Mo Ying's body fall to the ground, Jiang Xiaofan also received a system prompt
"System prompt: Congratulations on killing the monster [Black Eagle] and receiving the reward [Black Eagle Feather]*2."
"System prompt: Congratulations on killing the monster [Black Eagle] and receiving the reward [Black Eagle Soul Stone]*1."
"System prompt: Congratulations on killing the monster [Mo Ying] and receiving the reward [Mo Ying Bloodline] (Level 2)."
…
Black Eagle is only a physical monster with no elemental power, so its bloodline level and soul stone are considered relatively low-end.
When Mo Ying landed, these mercenaries rushed forward and dragged the body back. Jiang Xiaofan looked at their backs, each one more anxious than the other, and smiled bitterly.
The monsters that were killed by others are indeed worth grabbing. However, the monsters that Jiang Xiaofan killed had no soul stone bloodline. Even if they were snatched, it would only be a useless expelling shell, and there would be no valuable items.
Jiang Xiaofan came to Yixia's side and handed her the soul stone. Yixia pursed her lips and smiled, and with a thought, the soul-absorbing jade pendant instantly sucked up the soul stone.
Not long after, everyone dragged Mo Ying's body to Jiang Xiaofan and said, "Captain, you killed this, and everything that belongs to this monster belongs to you."
Jiang Xiaofan waved his hand: "I'm not interested in these, you can allocate them among yourself and don't start a fight."
"That won't happen~"
With Jiang Xiaofan's words, everyone gathered around and cut open Mo Ying's body. However, what made them speechless was that they didn't find anything useful. The only thing that was of some use was the feathers on his wings, which could be sold for weapons.
The shop is used to make arrow fletchings.
Jiang Xiaofan and Yixia were waiting aside, and he was not in any hurry to search the Bixia Valley.
After taking a short rest, everyone continued their search.
Since this place is a ruin, there must be an entrance or some signs. This is what everyone is looking for. As long as it is not something that can be formed naturally and is obviously man-made, it proves that there was once someone here. If you look for it nearby, it must be
Relics can be found!
After an afternoon of searching, no one made any progress. Many monsters died, and even more mercenaries died.
At dusk, when everyone gathered to camp, there were more than 240 mercenaries, and nearly 60 of them were buried on the road or in the Bixia Valley.
This search lasted for about two days, and the search area in the entire valley was less than one-fifth, and the number of personnel was also reduced sharply.
However, at noon two days later, a signal flare with a long and sharp whistle echoed in the jungle, shocking everyone!
This means that someone has found a clue!
Everyone immediately gathered towards the team that sent the signal. In about half an hour, everyone arrived!
Jiang Xiaofan was at the outermost edge, one behind Zhao Jin, and was almost the last one to arrive. When Jiang Xiaofan saw the clues discovered by the mercenaries, he was secretly delighted!
This is a huge semicircular stone door, but only two broken pieces of knee-high stone are left. However, the patterns on the stones are exactly the same as those in the stone chamber of the Ice God Soul Box.
This also made Jiang Xiaofan more certain that this place must be the Ice God Temple mentioned on the Treasure Map!
Nangong Huan stood in front of the stone gate at this time, stretched out his hand to touch the pattern on the stone, and said: "It is recorded in the wind and snow map that the semicircular patterned stone gate is the entrance to the holy temple, and inside is the outer courtyard.
For believers who come to worship, the inner courtyard is a palace of great power."
As he said that, Nangong Huan took out an old and yellowed map from his arms and carefully compared the direction of the stone gate to make guesses.
Nangong Huan asked everyone to rest where they were. At the same time, Lin Han, Zhao Xin'er, Li Jue, Qin Rong...these gold and silver pattern mercenaries were all summoned by Nangong Huan to discuss how to enter the Ice Sacred Temple.
, and how to search at the same time.
Lin Han said on the side: "The mark on this map shows that the temple's area is not very large. The inner and outer courtyards are together. We also searched according to the previous method. It only takes one day to inspect all sides. First, check whether there is an entrance.
, if we don’t plan again.”
"This holy temple was used to worship the gods thousands of years ago, and the Bixia Valley was officially formed due to large-scale collapse. The main body of the holy temple is buried deep underground. Now that hundreds of years have passed, there is no entrance anywhere." Li Jue
retorted.
Qin Rong nodded aside, obviously having no objection.
Qinghu and the people from the Silver Wind Knights didn't talk much along the way and didn't express any opinions.
At this time, Zhao Xiner saw Jiang Xiaofan sitting not far away, so he turned around and shouted to Jiang Xiaofan: "Brother Xiaofan, do you have any opinions?"
Jiang Xiaofan shrugged and said, "I am a little mercenary, can you listen to what I say?"
Nangong Huan smiled: "This exploration is a team effort. If you have any opinions, you can express your opinions and brainstorm."
Hearing what the young city lord said, since the holy temple has been found, Jiang Xiaofan couldn't wait to get the Ice God veins in the holy temple, so he stood up and patted the weeds behind his butt, then released his mind and suddenly felt
The approximate range and direction to the temple.
After all, he has the veins of the Fire God and the Water God, so Jiang Xiaofan can also roughly perceive the spiritual veins of other main gods.
Jiang Xiaofan pointed at the map and said: "The holy temple faces southeast and north faces northwest. Taking the stone gate as a symbol and the map size layout, we can go through the stone gate and walk about 800 meters northwest to reach the inner courtyard, and then go straight down.
Just open a channel and that should be enough."
After hearing what Jiang Xiaofan said, Nangong Huan chatted about his interest and asked with a smile: "Are you sure?"
Jiang Xiaofan picked his ears with his little finger and said indifferently: "Since it is a holy temple, how could the good things be placed in the outer courtyard? It must be in the inner courtyard. Since this place has collapsed, it means that the underground here was empty before, so naturally it was placed in the inner courtyard.
The space collapsed over time."
With that said, Jiang Xiaofan turned around and walked away. Seeing Jiang Xiaofan's attitude, Qin Rong was furious and scolded: "You'd better be polite when talking to the young city lord!"
Nangong Huan raised his hand to stop him and said: "What he said is not unreasonable. It is indeed possible to go directly to the northwest to find the inner courtyard and directly access the underground of the temple."
Nangong Huan is also a straightforward person. After confirming the feasibility of Jiang Xiaofan's statement, he immediately dispatched the team and started to let everyone take action, heading directly to the northwest!
At this time, Nangong Huan found Jiang Xiaofan, smiled at Jiang Xiaofan and said: "This little brother knows people well, why not just follow my team, and I can protect you."
"Thank you Young City Master for your kindness, but I have teammates to take care of, so I can't escape." Jiang Xiaofan smiled and rejected Nangong Huan's kindness directly.
Jiang Xiaofan knew that there must be a secret hidden in Nangong Huan's body, but this secret had nothing to do with him. After all, the Nangong family, the royal family of the Southern Region, had a relationship that Jiang Xiaofan had nothing to do with him. As long as he did not offend him, he would hardly have anything to do with the city lord.
The government has something to do with it.
Seeing that Jiang Xiaofan did not accept his kindness, Nangong Huan was not angry at all. After a few words of explanation, he transferred the teams of Jiang Xiaofan and Zhao Jin directly to the vicinity of the soldiers of the City Lord's Mansion!
You know, this is a special treatment for a large mercenary group like them. I never thought that Jiang Xiaofan would be highly regarded by the young city lord. If he was allowed to perform more, I am afraid that his rise to prominence would be just around the corner.
