It was just dawning, and a group of spectators gathered around an open plain at the entrance to the Black Beast Valley.
Most of the onlookers were wearing crude chain armor, durable light heavy crossbows, and short swords. These people were low-level mercenaries who made a living by hunting mysterious beasts near the Hundred Beasts Mountain.
They are willing to do anything unless they risk their lives.
This period on weekdays should be when the mercenaries replenish fresh water and medicinal materials and prepare to set off, but today, the situation is a little different.
Under a eucalyptus tree that only three or four people could hug together hung a naked man with a smelly sock stuffed in his mouth and only a fig leaf covering his lower body, which was covered in blood.
"It's Qi Feng from the Shadow Rat Mercenary Group. Why did he look like this?" Someone among the mercenaries recognized Qi Feng.
The early morning sun shone on Qi Feng's face, and he stared in horror, squeaking and whining.
No one stepped forward to put him down. The Shadow Rat Mercenary Group was used to stealing in this area and had a very average reputation.
"Get out of the way," after an angry scolding, a mercenary standing in the front row was roughly pushed away.
"Seeking death..." Before the word "death" came out of his mouth, after seeing clearly the powerful profound energy emanating from the person who came, the mercenary of the third level of human mystery, whose strength was similar to that of Qi Feng, suddenly became silent.
There is a faint red mysterious light emanating from the visitor's body. The red mysterious light means that the visitor is practicing fire-attribute mysterious skills. The five-element mysterious skills can only be practiced by practitioners above Yu Xuan.
On the outskirts of the Hundred Beasts Mountain, a place where only elementary-level mysterious beasts can appear, the appearance of the Yuxuan warrior is comparable to that of an intermediate-level mysterious beast. With just one hand, it is enough to sweep away dozens of human-level warriors.
.So this group of Xuanwu practitioners were all silent.
Walking out of the crowd was the female mercenary who disappeared last night. She had changed her outfit.
After a good sleep, she rushed to the Free Market early in the morning just to see "Yue Jinghua" in embarrassment, but unexpectedly she saw Qi Feng looking like this.
With a wave of his jade palm, the wind shook the eucalyptus leaves, and the rope on the tree immediately broke. At that moment, the place where the female mercenary landed collapsed into a hollow.
The female mercenary was shocked. The ground turned into a big hole. Dozens of sharpened wooden stakes were standing in the cold hole. Fortunately, she was calm enough. A beautiful harrier turned over and stood on the ground.
It passed over a sharp stake and landed on the ground.
If the female mercenary's reaction had been even half a minute slower, she would have been turned into a hornet's nest in an instant.
The woman was so angry that she threw the dagger in her hand, and the rope tied to Qi Feng's hand was cut immediately. She was about to catch Qi Feng.
The dense eucalyptus leaves trembled strangely, and several black shadows quickly sprang out like poisonous wasps, attacking the female mage's throat, chest, navel, abdomen, and knees.
"Hidden weapon!" Knowing that something was wrong, the female warrior had no choice but to drop Qi Feng. Under her wide sleeves, she used her hands and feet to shoot out several mysterious blades.
In an instant, there was a blazing red light under the tree, and the hidden weapon and the mysterious blade collided together.
Poor Qi Feng got no response and fell into the big hole. He didn't even have time to scream before he was stabbed to pieces.
The female warrior also had extensive knowledge. While resisting attacks from multiple angles, she also saw clearly the true identity of the hidden weapons attacking from all directions. The poisonous weapon was made from a kind of poisonous wood in Baishou Mountain - iron thorn wood.
Arrows, these poisonous arrows seal their throats with blood and are extremely lethal.
Dozens of arrows covered many vital parts of her body. If she hadn't already broken through the Human Mystery and her five orifices were clear, she might have been plotted against.
Even so, the female warrior still fell down in a miserable state, her robe already torn in several places.
Yue Jinghua? It couldn't be Yue Jinghua, she was just a piece of trash who couldn't even condense her profound energy. There was absolutely no way she could capture Qi Feng, let alone set up such a vicious trap.
Someone must have saved her.
The female warrior stared coldly at Qi Feng, who had long since expired. She quickly glanced at the crowd and found no suspicious person, let alone the grimace of "Yue Jinghua".
Failed, next... the female warrior pondered for a moment, and the beautiful face under the mask immediately returned to normal.
The Mountain of Hundred Beasts is huge, and it is obviously not easy to find Yue Jinghua who has been separated from the school's trial team, but it doesn't matter, as long as that person is still in Xuanji Academy, Yue Jinghua must be admitted to Xuanji Academy
, if she wants to enter the Mysterious Academy, she must obtain the second-level Mysterious Beast Mysterious Pill or the Plant Spiritual Core. Mysterious Pill or Spiritual Core is not so easy to obtain.
Yue Jinghua, let's wait and see. I want to see if you can return to the royal capital alive.
The female warrior dropped Qi Feng's body and walked away.
Several onlookers, out of consideration for the mercenaries, dragged Qi Feng out of the hole and buried him hastily in a wasteland outside the Beast Valley. The mercenaries who died in this area every year
There are as many as a thousand people.
After the crowd dispersed, there was a person hiding in a cluster of bushes not far away.
From the appearance of the female mercenary to her departure and the entire process of breaking the trap, Yue Jinghua hid aside and concealed her presence. No one discovered her whereabouts.
The unidentified female mercenary was much more powerful than she imagined. If Qi Feng and others who died under her hands were toddlers, and she was a child who had just learned to walk thanks to her martial arts skills in her previous life, then
The Yuxuan Nuxuan is a child who can already run.
Today's Yue Jinghua is definitely no match for the opponent.
But sooner or later, she will retaliate against that person tenfold or even a hundredfold.
After interrogating Qi Feng to no avail last night, Yue Jinghua only forced out the news that the real mastermind behind the frame-up of "Yue Jinghua" might appear at the free market at dawn.
After using the limited time to set up a trap, she waited aside to sort out the remaining memories in "Yue Jinghua"'s body.
The continent where "Yue Jinghua" lives is called Canglong Continent. Canglong Continent is a mysterious ancient continent. There is endless mysterious spiritual energy floating in the sky above the continent. Under the influence of this mysterious spiritual energy, ordinary residents of the continent
The lifespan of a person can reach eighty years. There are still a small number of special groups of people on the mainland who claim to be the sons of gods.
The sons of the gods have an innate physique that is different from ordinary people. They can convert the mysterious spirit energy floating in the sky above the continent into their own mysterious power. They are respected as Xuanwu by the residents of the continent.
In addition, due to the existence of spiritual energy in the sky above the continent, the plants and animals on the continent are also different from the creatures on the earth. Some of them are advanced beings that can even take the form of humans and possess human intelligence. Regardless of high or low, these creatures are unified
They are called mysterious beasts and spiritual trees.
"Yue Jinghua" was originally one of the "Children of the Gods". "She" was born into the aristocracy of the Dragon War Empire, a powerful country in the Eastern Continent. Over the years, she has been deeply loved by her family, because "she" has great skills in profound energy.
She has some talent, and "she" has received the same Xuanwu education as men since she was a child. However, most of this education is just textbook knowledge, and "she" has never really practiced it.
The reason why she entered the Hundred Beast Mountain where mysterious beasts gathered was because "she" was unable to condense the mysterious energy, and her family suffered bankruptcy. After defecting to the Shang Kingdom where her grandfather's family was located, she could only enter the Royal Xuanji Academy.
Seek a cure.
In order to gain admission to the Royal Xuanji Academy this time, "Yue Jinghua"'s mother sold part of her dowry to raise "her" equipment and expenses. "She" must pass the trial.
The requirement is to obtain a second-level mysterious elixir or spiritual core.
While sorting through his memories, Yue Jinghua also discovered that there were many secrets hidden in this seemingly garbage body.
First of all, "Yue Jinghua" is not really a waste. "She" is very smart. "She" clearly remembers that she learned all the basic martial arts on the Canglong Continent before she was eleven years old. For some reason,
Ever since she was poisoned at the age of thirteen, she has been unable to condense her profound energy.
Secondly, and the most important discovery, "Yue Jinghua's" Dantian was not damaged, "her" Dantian was just unable to be used.
In order to find out the secret of "Yue Jinghua"'s body, the reborn Yue Jinghua, also known as Yue Xiaoqi, walked into a grocery store in the Free Market.
As the main supply point outside Baishou Mountain, the Free Market has complete facilities, including weapon shops selling various weapons and armors, restaurants providing food and accommodation, medicine shops supplying medicinal materials, and specializing in purchasing all kinds of mystical medicines.
Grocery store for beast tokens.
These shops have a common feature. They are all built on trees, which can effectively defend against sneak attacks by some ground beasts at night.
"Lao Xia Grocery Store" is a very inconspicuous ordinary grocery store in the Liberty Market. Its store is located in a somewhat remote location and is built on a century-old pine tree in the northernmost part of the Liberty Market.
When the female customer walked into the grocery store, Lao Xia, the owner of the grocery store, wiped a shabby book that was placed in the most conspicuous position of his store as usual. This book was a book he had recently acquired.
Come.
The wooden door of the grocery store was pushed open, "Boss, I need a set of silver needles for acupuncture."
Lao Xia raised his reading glasses on the bridge of his nose. He was over sixty years old and a bit presbyopic. After seeing the appearance of the person clearly, Lao Xia asked enthusiastically.
"Dear guest, what are the silver needles used in acupuncture that you are talking about? I have never heard of them?" Lao Xia was embarrassed. He had been running a grocery store for so long, and this was the first time he heard anyone talk about silver needles for acupuncture.
"I forgot that there is no such thing as acupuncture here, so give me a set of embroidery needles, from large to small, in every size. In addition, give me a bottle of strong liquor and a few flints, as well as waterproof ones.
Oil paper, water bladder, salt, insect repellent powder." When "Yue Jinghua" was robbed, except for a self-defense deerskin armor and a fancy dagger, she didn't have any equipment for survival in the wild. It seemed that she
The cheap mother, like "Yue Jinghua", is an aristocratic lady without any knowledge of survival in the wild.
Lao Xia agreed and hurriedly found all the items the guest needed.
While waiting for Lao Xia to find something, Yue Jinghua wandered around the grocery store.
There are everything in the grocery store, but the most diverse items are related to various low-level mysterious beasts, such as lizard grass seeds, fire wolf furs... The goods in the grocery store are very complete, and each item is marked with a corresponding price.
From dozens of silver coins to one gold coin, among them, the mysterious beast's mysterious elixir is the most expensive. Just an ordinary first-level magic core of wood thorn grass is worth fifty gold coins, and a second-level wind fox is worth 50 gold coins.
The mysterious elixir was as high as two hundred gold coins.
"All the things you want are here. There are twenty-one gold coins in total. Do you need anything else?" Prices are very high in the Xuan Beast Valley area. Twenty-one gold coins are not considered a big guest. But the old man
Xia entertained him as warmly as ever, which made Yue Jinghua feel a little fond of him. After she gave him the money, she started chatting with him.
"It must be the first time for the guest to go out for a trial. The reason why the price of Xuandan is high is because Xuandan is rare. It takes ten mysterious beasts and sometimes even twenty or thirty low-level mysterious beasts to obtain one Xuandan.
"Lao Xia was not optimistic about this kind of new trialists who entered the Mysterious Beast Valley, but after Ting Yue Jinghua skillfully reported a bunch of items for survival in the wild, he changed his mind slightly.
"I have one more thing to ask, why is the price of that book so high?" Yue Jinghua changed the subject. The book she was referring to was the book with a dilapidated cover that Lao Xia had been cleaning earlier. The price was as high as
Thousands of gold coins.
Lao Xia looked back, with a bit of pride in his eyes: "Because this is not an ordinary book, that is a summoning book that can only be used by the Wu Zhao clan."
