After rushing out of the hut, Jiang Beiran was shocked. He found that the billowing black smoke around him almost completely blocked his sight, which made him a little confused. He thought the mine had exploded, but now it looked like someone was setting a fire.
Burn the mountain!?
After thinking for a while, Jiang Beiran quickly ran back to the hut and took out a soaked towel. The smoke was really too strong. If he rushed into the black smoke rashly, he was afraid that he would be choked to death before he could escape down the mountain.
Covering his mouth and nose with a wet towel, Jiang Beiran stopped thinking about anything else and started running down the mountain!
With the help of the cover of billowing black smoke, Jiang Beiran went all the way down without encountering a single supervisor on the road.
'Did everyone go to put out the fire?'
Although he didn't know why this happened, it didn't stop Jiang Beiran's mood from getting better and better, and his steps getting lighter and faster. He believed that the simplest option was indeed the right one, and he was finally going to escape from this ghost place.
However, just when Jiang Beiran broke through many unguarded checkpoints and was about to reach the foot of the mountain, a rough man carrying a long knife suddenly ran into him head-on.
The rude man was stunned for a moment, then shouted loudly: "You bitch! You actually want to escape!?"
'My life is at an end!'
Looking at the gleaming sword, Jiang Beiran, who didn't even know how to hide, could only squat down with his head in his hands, feeling completely despaired.
One second...two seconds...three seconds passed. Jiang Beiran, who had cursed the system several times in his heart, found that he seemed...not to be chopped?
Jiang Beiran swallowed his saliva and mustered up the courage to look up and saw that the man holding the long knife had a big hole in his chest. He coughed out several mouthfuls of blood and fell to the ground with his eyes wide open.
'Dead...dead!?'
Jiang Beiran was not afraid of the dead man at all. After all, he had seen too many in the mines in the past two months, and the death scenes were far more miserable than the one before him.
What surprised him was why such a reckless man died when he said he would die.
"Little brother, are you okay?"
Just when Jiang Beiran didn't know what to do, a hand suddenly put his shoulder, scaring him so much that he almost sat on the ground.
"Who!?" Jiang Beiran shouted and turned his head, only to see a man in white clothes standing behind him with a smile.
He has a head of black vertical hair, slanting handsome eyebrows, slender and sharp black eyes, thin and pursed lips, sharp outlines and a tall but not rugged figure, and his whole body has an outstanding temperament.
Chivalrous and heroic.
At the same time, three options appeared in front of Jiang Beiran.
[Option 1: Shout: "Don't come over!". Completion reward: Lihuo Dragon Song (yellow level top grade)]
[Option 2: Turn around and continue running down the mountain. Completion reward: Thirteen-section chain gun (low-grade yellow grade)]
[Option 3: Shout: "Hero, save me". Completion reward: Random basic skill point +1]
Without any hesitation, Jiang Beiran directly chose three, and shouted affectionately: "Hero...save me!"
With his smoke-red eyes and the lines of dust-filled tears, Jiang Beiran looked so pitiful now.
Seeing Jiang Beiran calling for help so decisively, the man in white was stunned for a moment. After all, he had just killed someone in front of him. Most of the young people he had saved before would have shouted, "Don't kill me.
Don't kill me." He backed away continuously.
That's why he deliberately put on a smile, just to avoid scaring Jiang Beiran, but now it seems that the young man in front of him seems to be much more courageous than he imagined.
"Okay, I'll take you down the mountain now." After saying that, the man in white came up, picked up Jiang Beiran and ran down the mountain.
Later, after Jiang Beiran was settled, he slowly learned the whole story.
The man in white who rescued him was called Lu Bogui, a disciple of the Guixin Sect. This time he brought several junior brothers and sisters down the mountain to do a trial mission, and the content of the trial mission was to eliminate the black mines on Lingmao Peak.
But because the few junior brothers he brought with him were too arrogant and thought that those on the mountain were just ordinary people, they did not notify him of the Iron Seal who was responsible for leading them, and committed suicide on Lingmaofeng alone. As a result, they were discovered by the supervisors and turned on directly.
The entire mountain was set on fire due to the large formation guarding the mountain.
According to Lu Bogui, this mountain defense formation is very vicious. Its main function is not to resist foreign enemies, but to burn all traces on the mountain with a fire so that no one can investigate anything.
Hearing this, Jiang Beiran couldn't help but feel a chill on his back. If he had chosen to stay in the room or put out the fire, he would probably be 90 percent more familiar by now.
After a series of simple choices, Jiang Beiran successfully joined the Guixin Sect under the recommendation of Lu Bogui, and he had a place to stay from then on.
…
Putting away his memories, Jiang Beiran said with emotion: "If it hadn't been for Senior Brother Lu back then, I would have died on Lingmao Peak long ago."
Lu Bogui smiled and shook his head: "It's my fault, senior brother, because it brought back bad memories for you. I'll punish myself with a drink."
Seeing Lu Bogui drink down the Hanchun wine in front of him, Jiang Beiran picked up the cloth bag in front of him and said, "Senior brother, this is really costing you a lot."
"You're being polite to senior brother again. Do you think I should be fined a drink?"
"Yes, it deserves punishment, it deserves punishment." Jiang Beiran smiled and drank a glass of cold spring wine in one gulp.
"Open it quickly and see if you like it."
"I definitely like what my senior brother gave me." Jiang Beiran said as he opened the bag and took out a round bronze mirror with a protrusion in the middle.
"This is...a heart mirror!?" Jiang Beiran said in surprise.
"Well, the quality is not very high. It's just a top-grade one. You can make do with it for now. I'll see if I can get a better one for you when I go to Lujiazhuang next time."
"Senior Brother, what are you talking about? The high-grade breast protection mirror is already very good. I'm a little embarrassed to accept it."
After coming to Guixin Sect, Jiang Beiran realized why his few tasks that rewarded Huang-level martial arts or weapons were so miserable. That was because in this world called Xuanlong Continent, Huang-level refers to
Magical weapons that already have spirituality are something that most people would never even think about, and some low-level sects would even use them as treasures to suppress their sects.
When he first learned this knowledge, Jiang Beiran really wanted to find out the system and ask what grudge it had against him, and to trick him into death.
Because the magic weapons of the four levels of Heaven, Earth, Xuanhuang, etc. are too high-end, not only ordinary people cannot afford them, but also some young disciples of large sects cannot afford them.
Therefore, under the Xuanhuang of Heaven and Earth, there are also some weapons and armors created by famous masters, which are classified from bottom to top as ordinary grade, good grade, top grade, top grade and unrivaled grade.
And this high-grade treasure is already considered a pretty good treasure. Giving it away to others is definitely a generous act among the disciples of the sect.
"Don't say that. The reason why senior brother gave you this breast shield is actually because of your gratitude. The bottle of Yingxiang Pills you gave me last time was very effective. Did you really practice it yourself?"
"Yeah." Jiang Beiran nodded without hiding anything.
"Then junior brother, you are really talented. How about I introduce you to Rongcaotang? Anyway, you have no intention of practicing martial arts. If you can make some achievements in alchemy, your status may rise faster than mine in the future."
