"Sorry, little brother, I had good intentions just now. You are a talented freshman from Baiyun Academy. It would be a pity to die in our Ning County. Our county master feels that you may have underestimated the difficulty of this task in Cangyu Mountain.
Therefore, the master of the palace has changed the mission level to level three and level seven. I am here to remind you, and I ask you to decide whether to give up. This is a mission magic weapon. Please accept it again, brother Yang An. You can choose
Giving up will not count towards the mission completion rate..."
"Is this still possible?" Yang An frowned.
"Ahem... Normally, the level of the reported tasks is lower rather than higher. After all, the county government's financial resources are also limited... But this time, the master doesn't want geniuses like you to make any mistakes..."
"Okay, that's all." Yang An took off his badge and put it into the groove of the mission artifact: "Is that all right?"
"Little brother, don't you give up?" the commander of Ning County said.
When the mission level changed, Yang An could give up the mission, and it would not count as a mission failure. However, after Yang An put the badge into the mission artifact, he still chose to accept the mission.
"There is no difference between the fifth and seventh dans to me. If there is nothing else, I will leave first."
The commander of Ning County frowned slightly: "I also want to go to Cangyu Mountain, and I also need to inform that Meng Beihe, why don't we come together?"
"You? It's too slow. Let's go first. Falsely reporting the task level to save money and line your own pockets? It's our Baiyun University students who are killed. I don't care, but it is fatal for others. Don't do this kind of thing in the future.
What a shame!"
Yang An waved his hand, and the person was already several feet away. After a few flashes, he disappeared into the mountains.
Originally, Yang An didn't have much resentment towards Ning County's guards or the commander who spoke harshly. After all, speaking harshly was really for their own good. After all, in their view, going to the second level of the Marrow Cleansing Realm meant committing suicide.
But at this moment, the mission level suddenly increased, and he tried his best to catch up and ask himself to re-register. Doesn't it mean that he was obviously dumping the blame?
Fortunately, it was him, but what about other students who came to perform the task? Two more paragraphs would definitely be fatal.
After all, many people do tasks for the sake of experience, and when they accept tasks, they are inherently challenging. Moreover, these people are basically geniuses who dare to challenge themselves.
This made Yang An a little unhappy.
…
The commander-in-chief of Ning County looked embarrassed.
Although what Yang An said is true, he is still at the ninth level of the Marrow Cleansing Realm, and is a master second only to the master of Ningxian County. But obviously, in the eyes of the genius from Baiyun Academy, he is nothing.
Just like what Yang An said before: "With all due respect, you are really useless!"
He who is on the second level of the Marrow Cleansing Realm does not put his ninth level of the Marrow Cleansing Realm in his eyes at all.
The last sentence is full of contempt and warning!
Have the geniuses at Baiyun Academy become so arrogant?
Do you think you can complete this task because of your speed?
Besides, they are not the only ones who falsely report mission levels...
You chased him with good intentions, but you didn't appreciate it and instead warned him?
The commander of Ning County had a gloomy face and was very unhappy. He wanted to see how Yang An completed the mission! Arrogance has to pay a price. It is unreasonable to despise evil spirit missions without even taking over a mission!
It would be best to die here, so as to teach those guys from Baiyun Academy with their noses turned upward a lesson.
Anyway, now that the mission level has been upgraded, it has nothing to do with Ning County!
Now, all he has to do is to notify everyone and find another Meng Beihe to take over the task as quickly as possible.
…
It was a hundred miles away, and with Yang An's divine skills at hand, even if he didn't go all out, it only took him less than an hour to reach the vicinity of Cangyu Mountain.
Cangyu Mountain is close to Panlong River, a large river that winds like a giant dragon. The main mountain is gentle, and the highest point turns into two gentle peaks. Viewed from a distance, it looks like a goshawk spreading its wings.
On both sides of the main peak of Yushan Mountain, there are dozens of miles in radius, dotted with some mountain villages that look like a paradise.
"Panlong River really looks like a dragon..."
Yang An stood on a high place, overlooking the Panlong River surrounding the entire Cangyu Mountain, and murmured.
"The focus is Xiaoniu Village, Lianhua Village, Chenjiazhuang, Berlin Village, Xiaotun Village, Zhangjiazhai..."
Yang An took the map obtained at the county government and verified it one by one with the mountain villages along the Panlong River.
"If there are many dead people, it must be a place where evil spirits are hiding. If I were an evil spirit, would I eat the grass beside my nest?"
The most difficult thing about evil spirit tasks is that evil spirits reside in human minds. Normally, they are no different from normal people and cannot sense any abnormality in their aura. If you want to catch evil spirits, the simplest and most direct way is to catch them when the evil spirits are swallowing them.
When humans are human, the evil spirit bursts out, locks onto the target, and crushes the host's head before it escapes from the body, so that it can be killed.
This is also the most commonly used method. Once an evil spirit devours a human being and finds a new host, it will not be able to completely hide the evil spirit's breath for at least half a day.
Secondly, the stupidest way is to activate the aura of the badge to cover any human who may be a host, and investigate them one by one. However, this method consumes too much mental power on the warrior's own body. The other party may have disappeared during your investigation.
The escape of sound.
"It's really too difficult for Lao Meng... to take on such a task with enough food? Isn't this a waste of time? Even if I didn't come, this task would not be difficult for Lao Meng to complete in a month or two, right? What's more?
, the third-grade and seventh-level evil spirit... can Lao Meng deal with it? What if it is a genius among the evil spirits? Look, it's been a day, and the task completion rate is still a big egg..."
Yang An can read the mission information through the badge at any time. At this moment, the 12 evil spirits are completely displayed. It is obvious that Meng Beihe has made no progress.
This number is unmistakable.
Moreover, the biggest flaw of evil spirits is that they cannot stay away from the place where they were born.
In other words, they cannot escape from Cangyu Mountain unless they devour enough humans. When the evil spirits become strong enough, the scope of their activities will increase.
Exactly why, Yang An didn't know.
Too lazy to think about it.
Moreover, through his senior brothers and sisters, although Yang An did not take courses specifically targeting evil spirits at Baiyun Academy, he also learned that the benefits that warriors can gain by killing evil spirits are not only mission rewards, but also the blessing of dragon luck!
This is the biggest gain!
This is simple to understand: kill evil spirits and gain merit.
The merits are there and there are many benefits.
…
At this moment, Meng Beihe was quietly hiding on the hilltop near Chenjiazhuang.
This is based on the map provided by Ning County, as well as detailed information such as how many people died in each village, the time of death, and so on. After detailed deliberation and searching for the patterns of evil spirits committing crimes, he positioned Chenjiazhuang as the target village to wait and see tonight.
.
According to the patterns he found, there is a 70% chance that it will be Chenjiazhuang tonight.
There are only about a hundred households in Chenjiazhuang. With his ability to sense, in the dead of night, if there is any movement anywhere, he can rush there as soon as possible.
"Evil spirits... 12 of them, below the fifth level of the Marrow Cleansing Realm. Kill them all. I should be able to get 12 points of dragon luck blessing, right? With the dragon luck blessing, it will be just around the corner to understand the meaning of the sword! Moreover, kill the evil spirits.
It can sharpen your state of mind and strengthen your mental strength! The danger is a bit dangerous, but I have a strong will, how can I be affected by such a low-level evil spirit? Hehe..."
Meng Beihe thought to himself, with a touch of excitement on his face. It was as if he had seen the huge gains he had made by killing evil spirits.
…
“No one has died in Cangyu Town. Let’s start from Cangyu Town!”
Yang An focused on Cangyu Town, which obviously had more buildings and a larger population, and was located in the center of Cangyu Mountain.
In Yang An's opinion, the most likely possibility for the evil spirit host is to hide in Cangyu Town.
As long as we focus on the humans who haunt Cangyu Town at night, it will be easier to detect evil spirits. It is good to save some effort, right?
However, as night gradually fell, Yang An suddenly felt that he was still too naive...
In Cangyu Town, countless villagers, including low-level warriors and ordinary people, left in various directions in the evening.
