It was the first time for Ato to ride on a flying monster. When he saw the white clouds below him and overlooked the earth, he suddenly felt that the adventurous life was really wonderful. "Hahaha, it's so cool." Ato smiled, "Can Bingfeng go faster?
, speed up." Bingfeng heard the words and cried out clearly, the cold air surged on its big wings, and it flapped violently——
"Ahhhhhhhhhh-" The sudden acceleration almost made Oshio fall down.
Zhi Xing shouted: "Hold on tight!" So the five of them did not dare to be arrogant anymore, and stuck tightly to Bingfeng to prevent being thrown away. The huge acceleration did not last long, but the wind blowing in the face became stronger and stronger.
The sharper, or in other words, the sharper. "Hide behind me!" Zhixing lay on the back of the ice phoenix, holding on tightly to block the fierce wind, and the armor on his body made a sharp scream and shook.
"Is this... approaching the speed of sound?" Oshiro asked in surprise.
Before it was over, the ice phoenix's wings were about to vibrate violently with the cold energy, and Qiao Dian shouted: "Cover your ears!"
boom!!!!!!!!
With a loud noise that shook the sky and the earth, Bingfeng fell into a cloud of white mist, and then broke out of the fog in an instant. "This... is too exciting!" Bingfeng finally stopped accelerating, but maintained this slightly higher altitude.
At the speed of sound, at the same time, he uses his vitality to alleviate the oncoming supersonic wind resistance. Even so, he still has to block in front to resist it, and the others hide behind him. "My armor... is getting hot..."
Zhi Xing exclaimed in surprise, "This is real supersonic speed..." The loud noise caused by the friction between the air and the armor basically covered up his words.
Flying at supersonic speed, it crossed more than 200 kilometers of mountains, rivers and valleys in less than a quarter of an hour and arrived at its destination, Lugeng City.
Lugeng City is currently controlled by the Penjing Legion of the warlord government. It is the second largest city within its jurisdiction. It is located at the southeastern end of the Shuya Basin in the south of the Penjing Legion. There is a glutinous city emblem hanging at the gate of the city, near the mouth of the Maoyi River. It is often visited by
Known as the "Southern Capital of the Cleansing Legion". The city has a history of at least 3,000 years. The city's population is approximately 260,000.
The publisher of this mission is none other than the Jiao family that is entrenched in Lugeng City. The Jiao family dominates the sky in Lugeng City, mainly due to the deputy commander of the Penetration Corps named Jiao Zhe, who also has a mid-level escape from terror.
Under the prestige of the Jingjing Army, the Jiao Family naturally flourished.
There were few clouds in the sky that day, and the residents of Lugeng City were living their lives as before. A dark wind suddenly blew through, and a chill blew from the western suburbs of the city. A huge ice phoenix landed, and three men and two women fell down. The city guards were very
Quickly attracted: "Who is it?"
"We are here to deliver the mission of finding the ice phoenix issued by the Jiao family... ugh!" Oshio had not recovered from the ten-minute supersonic journey, and he vomited on the ground before he could finish his words.
"Jiao family's mission? Just wait and see, I'll go ask." the team leader ordered.
After a while, a young man with long red hair came, wearing a black tights and a bright silver sleeveless robe. The silver white dragon helmet only exposed his mouth and nose. He stepped forward with a smile: "Ah, brave adventurer
Guys, it's great that you have actually completed this difficult task. I am Jiao Xun from the Jiao family, and I would like to thank you on behalf of the Jiao family. Now you can go to the Adventurer's Guild to receive the rewards you deserve!" Then he said to the people behind him.
The servant said: "Come on, take this beast back."
The five of them were about to enter the city, but were stopped by Jiao Xun: "Stay here, may I ask what that is?" Shantou Chuang took a look and found Jiao Xun staring at the egg in her hand.
"Uh, this..."
"Is this the egg of our Bingfeng? You guys, this is not kind. It is obviously the egg laid by our Bingfeng, but you want to secretly take it for yourself?" Jiao Xun still had a smile on his face.
, but his eyes became cold.
"The mission only talked about retrieving the ice phoenix, but didn't mention the eggs." Judy casually took off the long bow on her back.
"That's wrong. When we issued the mission, how could we know that there was still an egg? Since this egg was laid by our ice phoenix, it should naturally belong to our family. Isn't this natural?"
Qiao Dian also took off his golden scepter from behind: "The egg should belong to its mother. This is justice, right? This mother gave the egg to us again. Whose is it if it's not ours?" Bingfeng cried in agreement.
He shouted twice, as if to express his approval.
Jiao Xun waved, and the servants gathered behind him: "Give it to you? Are you kidding me? A beast can only risk his life to protect the egg, how could it be given to others? Even if it is given, it is not his decision. It has the final say.
The whole thing belongs to our Jiao family, and so do the eggs we lay!"
Shan Chuang handed the egg to A Lao: "Watch it."
"good."
Then he rolled out a ball of fire with his little hands: "When it comes to this matter, it seems that I can only speak with facts."
"Haha, let me remind you first, if you take action, your reward will be gone; if you escape, you will be wanted."
"We adventurers are on the run, and the last thing we have to worry about is being wanted, hahahaha!" Zhi Xing smiled long and stretched out his hand to grab Jiao Xun.
Seeing that both sides were about to take action, the city guards couldn't sit still and immediately surrounded them: "Put down your weapons!"
Jiao Xun looked at the city guards and said coldly: "Why are you still standing there? This group of adventurers wants to seize my Jiao family's property, why don't you arrest them quickly? Don't forget who is supporting you!"
"Cut! Withdraw!" Shan Chuang suddenly retreated when he saw the large number of people on the opposite side.
Atsuo suggested: "Bingfeng hasn't been tied up by them yet, why not?"
"This will completely offend them." "Isn't it already offended? There is still a question of whether it is complete or not?" "That's right. Let's go!"
The five people quickly climbed onto the ice phoenix, "Catch them!" Jiao Xun became anxious when he saw it. He thought that with so many people, he could win even if his cultivation level was low, but he didn't expect this move. At the same time, he threatened
: "If you dare to run away, just wait until the Jiao family offers a reward for your capture!"
"Little Bing, let's go!" A'ao hugged the egg and ignored him completely. When Bingfeng saw that not only the egg was saved, but he could also regain his freedom, he cried with joy, spread his wings and flew out in the cold wind.
Everyone on the ground was in a panic.
Jiao Xun was furious: "Quick, find another ice phoenix and chase it!"
The five people who thought they had escaped didn't take long to see another ice phoenix approaching. "Damn, they actually have another one!" Zhi Xing said in annoyance.
Mody curled her lips and said, "Nonsense, Xiaobing can lay eggs, which means they must at least have a male ice phoenix, right?" Unknowingly, they had already recognized "Xiaobing" that Ao casually called out.
"The guy behind is probably still chasing his wife happily." Qiao Dian interjected: "If this is the case, it will be troublesome. I feel that Xiaobing has slowed down."
"...You mean?" "If the two of them fall in love, they will be used by the Jiao family to chase us."
Otsuo quickly crawled behind Xiaobing's head: "Xiaobing, is that your husband in the back?" Xiaobing whined. Otsuo frowned and said: "Xiaobing, I know you love him very much, but now he has a baby on his back.
The people in the Jiao family are chasing us. If we are caught up, you, us, and the egg will all fall into the hands of the Jiao family! If he knew your difficulties, he would definitely forgive you and not think that you
Abandon him!"
Jiao Xun was speaking inciting words to Bing Feng below him: "Yes, you saw it. Your lover is in front of you. Go and chase her. Your children are also there. They have been kidnapped by a group of bandits now. You
Only by catching up can I save her!" Hearing this, the male phoenix gave a high-pitched cry, the cold current on its wings surged, and it accelerated violently.
He took a look and said, "No, they're going to go supersonic!"
A Lao said in a hurry: "Xiao Bing! Drive supersonic speed, otherwise it will be over!" Everyone grabbed Bing Feng's body tightly, hid behind Zhi Xing, and prepared to speed up. Xiao Bing screamed sadly, and the cold current surged on his wings.
Accelerate suddenly.
Boom! Boom! Two sound explosions, two clouds of white mist, one behind the other, the battle royale begins.
"This is not the way to go!" Amidst the violent sound of breaking through the air, Mody had to scream to let her teammates hear her. "Xiaobing has been flying for so long before, and he will definitely not be able to last as long as he will later." Everyone knew it.
He knew it, but said nothing because there was nothing he could do.
Xiaobing suddenly started to cry continuously, and the distance between him and the ice phoenix behind him shortened. "Xiaobing!" Shan Chuang was also anxious.
"That's not right." Qiao Dian shouted, "They are communicating among their own kind!" Indeed, it was true that at some point the speed had slowed down and the two ice phoenixes began to communicate. Otherwise, the sound from behind would not be transmitted to the front at supersonic speeds.
of.
Jiao Xun shouted angrily: "What are you doing? Hurry up and catch up!"
Ao Ao hugged Dan tightly: "Everyone, calm down. There is nothing we can do now. We can only trust Xiaobing."
After communicating for a while, the two ice phoenixes began to accelerate in tacit agreement, reaching supersonic speeds again.
A volcanic crater with thick smoke appeared ahead.
A small amount of ice passed by.
Bingfeng behind him fell headlong into it.
Never came out again.
Together with Jiao Xun and his entourage.
The five people's eyes widened and they couldn't believe it.
Xiaobing slowed down, whined continuously, and flew around the crater. Oshiro reacted: "No, Xiaobing, you still have a child, you can't die in love!" After hearing this, Xiaobing seemed to calm down a little, and hovered at the foot of the volcano.
After landing, the whining did not stop. The five people descended to the ground silently without saying a word. Bingfeng whined sadly and miserably towards the crater, which made people feel heavy. After a while, A Lao slowly walked to Xiaobing
In front of him, he held up the egg and showed it to Xiaobing: "Xiaobing, please forgive me, you still have children to take care of. It is fate that we can meet this time. Now that fate is over, your children are returned to you, and you are free.
Find a place to live a good life." The ice phoenix eggs are actually very valuable and can completely compensate for the loss of this failed mission, but no one can bring it up on this occasion.
Just then, the egg moved.
"No way, at this time?" Oshi Lao took a look, cracks began to appear on the eggshell, and a trace of cold air seeped out. "Xiao Bing, look, your child is about to be born!" Xiao Bing quickly got down and let him know.
Ao held the egg in front of her eyes. The eggshell slowly broke open, and a small, finely carved ice phoenix with real ice muscles and jade bones appeared in Osa's hand. The little guy looked at Xiao Bing.
, looked at A Lao again, and barked twice happily.
"I guess you are regarded as its father." Mody said, holding her forehead. Sure enough, when A'ao put the little ice phoenix on the ground and walked a few steps away, he heard the little guy's anxious cry and looked back.
, the little ice phoenix flapped its wings hard and tried to fly, but then became unstable and fell down. It was very cute.
Ao could only pick it up again, looked at Xiaobing and said, "What should I do? I'm not its father." Then he saw that Xiaobing didn't say a word, but looked at him expectantly.
Lao was helpless: "Okay, okay, I'll be a father. But I still have to take risks. Are you going to follow me too?" Xiaobing and Xiaobing cried in unison, indicating their agreement.
So the five people and Xiao Xiaobing sat on Xiao Bing's back again and took off. This time they didn't dare to go supersonic speed. Xiao Xiao Bing was too weak. Even if he was carried by Zhi Xing, he would be shattered if he missed the edge.
An hour passed. A grey-headed and harried man crawled out of the crater. He gritted his teeth and said, "Duzhuang Adventure Group, I, Jiao Xun, and you are at odds with each other!"
"What should we do next? The Jiao family will definitely want us. And the characteristics of the target are so obvious that it's impossible to hide them." Mody pointed at Xiaobing.
"What can we do?" A Lao looked at Shan Chuang teasing Xiao Xiaobing, "Let Xiaobing land before we get to a place with people and hide ourselves. We can disguise ourselves and blend into the crowd."
"Ah, I hate disguises." Zhi Xing scratched his hair.
"I hate it too." Qiao Dian patted him on the shoulder.
In the evening, we finally arrived at Nianhun Town. This is a small town located in the valley of the Suhe Mountains. It is an interesting "enclave". It is nominally owned by the Shuxiao Guild of the West, but the entire territory is controlled by the Penguin Legion.
In the area. Because this town has no eye-catching resources, the Cleansing Corps has no interest in "recovering" it. The Xiaoxiao Guild is beyond its reach, and the folk customs here are fierce and difficult to manage, thus forming such a "three no matter" gray area.
, many wanted criminals and bounty hunters who are being hunted and killed gather here. The Danzhuang Adventure Group is currently wanted by the Jiao family, so it is appropriate to come here.
Xiaobing landed in an uninhabited mountain stream outside the town, while Xiaobing hid in A Lao's backpack, and the five of them went down the mountain into the town together.
From the outside, this is just an ordinary border town. If you look closely, you can also find the outlets of the Adventurer's Guild and the Killer's Guild. When you enter the Adventurer's Guild, you can see that the task of finding the Ice Phoenix is still pending. It seems that there is no news yet.
Passed it over. Originally I just wanted to find a small hotel to stay for one night, but I found a rare "Magicians Guild" outlet. "There is actually an outlet of the Magicians Guild here!" Shan Chuang was very excited when he saw it.
Oshiro was confused: "What is the Magician's Guild?"
"Haha, this is an existence that only experienced adventurers know about. You see, the basic principles of the classification of our cultivation levels are similar. They are all three stages: parenthood, escape from terror, and healing. But the specific internal strength cultivation
Where do the methods, as well as the various spells, physical skills, sealing spells, formations, and other weird little methods used in actual combat come from? Some religious fanatics certainly believe that they are given by God, but in fact
There are three main sources. The first is that adventurers, soldiers, killers, etc. accumulate experience in actual combat and have a flash of inspiration and accidentally create it. However, the probability of this situation is too low. The method of creation is of course exquisite and ingenious.
, but most of them are commonplace and very few in number. Occasionally, there are two special skills, but they are often unwilling to be passed on to others. In the end, they are taken into the coffin with others and completely lost. The second is that the cultivation sect is the main one, and other types of forces are supplementary.
Their research departments are often large sects with stable status and internal and external stability. They will have dedicated people to study new methods, including exploring prehistoric ruins. However, their research results are often kept secret for their own use, and only occasionally
Leakage does not constitute the main body. The main source of the methods used by our adventurers is an organization called the Magician's Guild. This guild is very mysterious and has a high threshold for membership, but the output of various methods is the highest.
, and spread the word without hesitation. Some directly send people to preach publicly, some secretly distribute the secrets of the exercises, and some sell them at outlets in various places. Outlet sales are the most important, but the problem is that there are very few outlets of the Magician Guild, and often
They are placed in remote areas, are expensive, and are often relocated. The result is that adventurers often have to save a lot of money, travel to various remote areas, try their luck to encounter an outlet, and then start spending money like this.
The harvest in big circles is generally satisfactory. Today we were lucky.”
"Isn't that right? Our mission failed. How much money do we have with us?" Oshio questioned.
"Oh," Shan Chuang immediately fainted, "Why do you have to say it so readily?"
"..." "No matter what, it's rare to meet a family. If you can't afford it, you can give it a try."
Due to frequent relocations, this Magician's Guild outlet does not look exquisite, but rather simple. It is more like a larger tent, about 10×7m. The tent is camouflage-colored, with the Magician's Guild's ??-shaped pattern painted on it.
. Entering the Magician's Guild, there are several counters inside, some with secret books and some with some magic props. Shan Chuang reminded in a low voice: "These people in the Magician's Guild are snobs. Don't let them see that we have no money.
Otherwise you will be laughed at."
"Is it so serious?" "Yes. Let's look at the inner strength skills first."
The internal strength training techniques displayed by the Magician Guild are all priced at 8K+, and are also marked with the difficulty, progress, risks, special requirements, etc. of the practice. The five of them have been practicing so far, and they have all the techniques for the mother period, and the techniques for the escape period.
Only A'ao has "Rose Chamber", but it is the secret biography of Master Liao Xin, and A'ao doesn't want to tell it to anyone else. All the exercises in the escape period are worth 20,000+, which are still suitable for humans. Birds like Xiao Bing
The Clan Fleeing Terror Stage Kung Fu even costs 50,000+, which is prohibitive. While browsing, Zhi Xing could not suppress his longing gaze.
The person guarding the stall was an old lady with light gray-blue hair and light gray-orange eyes. She was wearing a blue?? embroidered loose long-sleeved cotton coat. She looked at the five people in front of her and sneered: "If you can't afford it, don't look at it. I won't let you guys."
Poor people learned it secretly."
When Zhi Xing heard this, he became angry: "Who are you calling poor?" He reached out and grabbed the old lady.
"Have you rebelled against me?" The old lady waved her hand and sent out a wave of invincible energy, directly fanning the sword out. "No matter how weak I am, I can still sit here to escape from the horrors and deal with poor ghosts like you, haha."
"Let's go." Shan Chuang grabbed Mody and came to the combat skills booth again.
The old lady with dark gray hair and emerald eyes who was guarding the stall was wearing a navy blue printed cotton jacket. Watching these troublemakers come to her, she sighed: "My fighting skills are better than the cultivation skills of old lady Jian Liao."
It’s cheaper. If you still can’t afford it, let’s go check out those cheap magic props.” This is indeed a lot cheaper, the cheapest is only 20 yuan, and the most expensive is only over 1K.
A'ao struggled for a while, and then took out his copy of "Touch of the Curse": "Senior, how much is this combat skill worth?"
The old lady took a look at it and said, "Passive skills, they aren't worth much." She took them over and looked through them. Oshi was a little nervous. He saw that the price of combat skills was much cheaper than the cultivation skills, so he guessed that this "The Curse of the Curse"
"Touch" should be less precious than "Rose Bodies", so I decided to sell it. The old lady was very calm when she first saw it, and her eyes became brighter and brighter as she looked at it. She looked at A Lao and said, "Show me the show." Then she stretched out her hand.
He took out a hand with the inevitable flow of energy. Knowing that his cultivation level could not hurt her, Ao used all his strength to bring out the curse touch and pressed it against that hand. Chi - the corrosive power and the inevitable energy were consuming each other, and the inevitable energy was eroding each other.
It was obviously much thicker and motionless. After a few seconds, the old lady stretched out her hand: "It's incredible, this combat skill, as a passive skill to such a level, cannot be created without a peerless genius." She put away her contempt and even showed a bit of contempt.
Sincerely asked A Lao: "Xia Zorzao, may I ask which senior gave you this combat skill?"
"Uh..." Oshiro hesitated.
"Hey, I won't force you if you don't want to say it. Not for your master's sake, but just for the combat skill itself, I'll pay 1,100."
"So powerful?" Oshilao was also surprised. Most of the combat skills on the counter cost a hundred and ten yuan, but this passive skill cost thousands?
"But the idea contained in this combat skill is extraordinary. It can be said to be a unique approach. If you have relevant foundation, you can see it. Studying this combat skill will make our guild's research a big step forward. I won't cheat you, except for 1100.
I will personally give you another reward. You can choose any of the two items here, not necessarily those on my counter. I will pay the price."
"Hiss—" the four of them gasped.
Shan Chuang looked at A Lao: "Your skills are so powerful! You can't tell."
Otsuo scratched his head: "I didn't expect it either. The combat skills my master gave me were so precious. I regret selling them now."
Zhu Zao immediately said nervously: "No, there is no regret medicine in the world. You can quickly take your things and leave. I will accept this combat skill."
"Forget it, now that you've sold it, just sell it. I'll just spend money to buy that copy of "Bandage Traction". This one was bought with money, not counting the two quotas!" "That's no problem."
This "Bandage Traction" is the only combat skill on the counter that costs more than a thousand. Counting the money sold for "Curse Touch", it is completely affordable. Oshiro took the skill book and said: "There are two places left.
You can take your pick."
"Hey, is this good?" "Haha, we are in short supply of practice skills now, right? We should seize this opportunity."
Zhi Xing, who crawled in in embarrassment, happened to see this scene, and his eyes filled with tears immediately. He picked up A'ao and said, "Hahahaha, little brother A'ao is so funny. I will remember your favor this time. If you have anything to do in the future, just ask me!"
