The three Taoist temples participating in the treasure hunt this time sent two teams each according to regulations. Yuyang Taoist Temple sent eight disciples like Shenji Taoist Temple. Only Xuanguang Taoist Temple had two more people, with a total of ten disciples.
.
During the preparation time before entering the Duanyang Forest together, twenty-six disciples gathered with their team members and discussed what to do after entering the Mingyang River.
The same was true for Su Xing and others. They stood in a corner of the open space, surrounded by four people, talking in low voices.
"The terrain in the Mingyang River is dangerous and full of dangers. If we can discuss the strategy in advance, the progress of the treasure hunt will be much faster."
The first person to speak was captain Han An. As the leader of the team, he had absolute majesty.
Everyone nodded, agreeing with Han An's statement.
So Han An continued: "Although the dean and the Law Enforcement Hall told us that this mission is to investigate the birth of an exotic treasure, there are no hard requirements for the mission, so our operation itself is divided into two parts: treasure hunting and experience.
After entering the Mingyang River, we have many opportunities to fight against level six or even level seven beasts. This is a valuable opportunity for you warriors with little actual combat experience.
Therefore, we have two options after entering the Mingyang River this time. I would like to hear your opinions.
1. Focus on enriching combat experience, supplemented by searching for treasures. After entering the Mingyang River, I will accompany you to challenge ferocious beasts of different levels and attributes to help you... and also help me increase combat experience, which will be helpful for the hospital at the end of the year.
Trying can also help.
On the contrary, we focused on searching for treasures. After entering the Mingyang River, we tried our best to avoid those ferocious beasts that would waste our time. We raced against time. We did not fight unnecessary battles. The whole process revolved around searching for clues and doing our best to find the final
treasure."
After listening to Han An's words, Su Xing and others fell into silence, looking thoughtful.
After a moment, Zhao Yiyun asked: "Senior Brother Han, in your opinion, which path should we take?"
Su Xing and Zhou Qinghan immediately turned their attention to Han An, and after he pondered for a while, he said:
"I'm not afraid of the three jokes. Among the captains leading this team, Lin Qi and I are the weakest. I'm afraid we don't have the ability to lead everyone to the end of the treasure hunt.
I am relatively familiar with the area in the Mingyang River and know where to avoid the more dangerous beasts. Therefore, if we focus on experience, I am confident that everyone will gain something.
And if you choose to hunt for treasure... the treasure must be located in the most dangerous area of the Mingyang River. With the strength of our team, it is difficult to penetrate deep. And if we forcefully break in, we will encounter dangers for our lives. The progress will definitely lag behind that of Shenji and Xuanguang.
team."
After hearing this, the three of them already had an idea in their minds.
Facing Han An's touching speech, Su Xing and the others did not have the slightest contempt in their hearts, but were filled with high respect.
Unexpectedly, this senior brother, who was considered the strongest in Yuyang Taoist Temple, had no airs about him. On the contrary, he spoke to them with heartfelt words.
Not to mention the plan one he proposed, which substantially improved the combat experience of the three people, making people know that Han An was sincerely considering them.
Thinking of this, Zhao Yiyun, who valued love and righteousness, even had a sore nose and tears began to well up in his eyes.
Su Xing, Zhao Yiyun and Zhou Qinghan looked at each other and knew that the three of them were thinking about the same thing.
Therefore, the eloquent Zhao Yiyun responded to Han An: "Brother Han, let's take the first path as you said!
It’s best to be able to search for the whereabouts of the exotic treasures. It doesn’t matter if we don’t have any information. Anyway, for us, being able to fight against level six ferocious beasts is already a huge gain.”
Han An nodded vigorously, his face full of gratitude, as if he was moved by the trust that his junior brothers and sisters had in him.
After deciding on the plan to enter the Mingyang River, Han An, who shouldered the responsibility, came to the side of Lin Qi's team and asked Lin Qi:
"After entering the Mingyang River, have you decided where to go? Do you want to go with us?"
Unexpectedly, facing senior brother Han An's invitation, Lin Qi actually chuckled, shook his head and said, "Thank you very much, senior brother Han An, for your kindness, but the four of us have decided to head towards the east side of the Mingyang River."
Han An, who didn't expect to be declined, was slightly startled at first, then smiled awkwardly and returned to his team.
But Su Xing, who heard these words, kept an eye on it and recorded in his mind the direction where Lin Qi was going.
The tea time passed quickly, and the three lecturers began to invite everyone to gather together. They first walked through Duanyang Forest together and then dispersed.
So a large team composed of elite members of the Third Avenue of the Wanjian Sect entered the Duanyang Forest and began to walk towards the Mingyang River ahead.
On the way, Han An, who was already familiar with his junior brothers and sisters, began to introduce to them the leaders of the two Taoist temples, Shenji and Xuanguang.
"This time, the old students sent by Shenji, in addition to You Yaqin who you have already met, there is also the sixth king of the Earth Ranking, Spear, who is also famous on the Earth Ranking.
Looking at the outer mountains, You Yaqin and Wang Mao are considered to be the most powerful swordsmen. They have already understood the power of the sword half a year ago. In addition, they are also very powerful in martial arts, and they are well-deserved Shenji Taoist Academy.
A model figure."
Su Xing had an impression of Wang Mao's face. During the monster slaying ceremony, he represented the Shenji Taoist Academy and killed a vicious beast that had accumulated five points.
"The disciples sent by Xuanguang Taoist Academy are also very famous. One is Qiu Hansong, who is seventh on the Earth Ranking. He is an alchemist who specializes in elixirs that increase the combat power of warriors. He can often refine the level of top-grade ordinary elixirs.
of drugs.
The other one is Fang Yu, who ranks one place behind Qiu Hansong. She is a weapon refiner. The last time I saw her doing it, she had already condensed five spiritual patterns. Her talent in weapon refinement was only a hundred miles behind Xuanguang Taoist Academy.
Yang Qiu is alone."
Su Xing followed Han An's gaze and saw Qiu Hansong, who had also participated in the demon-slaying event, and Fang Yu, whom he had never met before.
His eyes stayed on Fang Yu's delicate and beautiful face for a moment, and he felt a very familiar feeling.
"Fang Yu...Fang Xueyu..."
He looked behind Fang Yu and found Fang Xueyu following closely behind.
After seeing Fang Xueyu, he suddenly remembered why Fang Yu's face felt so familiar.
After just a few brief looks, Su Xing discovered the similarity in appearance between Fang Yu and Fang Xueyu.
He immediately let out a sigh, attracting Zhao Yiyun's attention.
"Fang Yu and Fang Xueyu are both descendants of the Fang family in the imperial capital. She is Fang Xueyu's cousin."
"As expected." Su Xing nodded.
At this time, Han An continued to explain to everyone: "Although the name Mingyang River comes from a long river that leads directly to the Demon Juden Cave, there is not only one river there.
The Mingyang River is actually a vast area, surrounded by rich terrain, including jungles and broken walls, and I have seen deserts and canyons before.
If you just walk along the Mingyang River, most of the ferocious beasts you will encounter along the way are only level six ferocious beasts. But once you go to the four directions of the river, you may encounter level seven ferocious beasts."
"Most of the seventh-level ferocious beasts in the Mingyang River will occupy a fixed area and regard it as their own territory. As long as they don't cause wanton trouble in their territory, these ferocious beasts will generally not take the initiative to cause trouble for us.
Because our trip this time is mainly for experience, we don’t need to go far away from the river. We only need to move near the river bank and select some level six ferocious beasts as targets. Of course, if we can find clues to the exotic treasure, we can
It’s okay to go a little deeper.”
Su Xing nodded, thinking that what Han An said was a relatively safe choice.
"But no matter where you go, remember to follow me closely. Once you break away from the team and find yourself lost, you must use the communication charm as soon as possible."
Han An turned his head and looked at everyone seriously, "I don't want any of you to suffer injuries that will damage your Taoist base because of this experience. If such a thing really happens, not only the sect will not be able to
Even if you forgive me, I will never forgive myself."
Han An's words made people's hearts warm again. Even some disciples from other Taoist temples couldn't help but look sideways with surprise on their faces after hearing his words.
