Chapter 191: Star City·Moonlight Chamber of Commerce
Five days later.
The second floor of the Holy City Demon Hunting Tower.
A gray-haired old man hurried to the exploration mission counter.
The staff working here today is still the middle-aged man who entertained Lin Feng before.
See someone coming.
The middle-aged man with a beard asked, "Deacon Li Jing, are you in such a hurry? Is there some mission that needs to be expedited?"
The deacons of the Demon Hunting Tower are the unit that specializes in issuing various tasks.
However, the deacon called Li Jing was feeling a little anxious at this moment.
Still at a distance, Deacon Li Jing said hurriedly, "I'm here to cancel the mission. Hurry up and cancel the 'Howling Cave' mission I posted a week ago. The intelligence is wrong. There may be level 8 or even level 9 monsters in the Howling Cave, and there may even be some ancient ruins. The difficulty of the mission needs to be readjusted!"
"The mission merit reward has been increased to 200,000 points, and the mission difficulty has been increased to King level!"
Li Jing finished speaking in one breath without even stopping, which shows how serious this mistake was.
"King-level mission!" the middle-aged man repeated with a slight frown.
"Yes!" Li Jing smiled bitterly, "The Howling Cave of Fear was originally discovered by a general-level demon hunting group. At that time, they were completing another mission and two people in the team were seriously injured, so they did not go in to explore. They simply judged the situation in the cave, but recently another general-level demon hunting group brought back more accurate information. There was a terrifying spiritual power fluctuation erupting inside, and there might be a treasure. The demons have also sent people in to investigate. According to the situation in the cave, there may not only be ninth-level monsters, but also powerful demons!"
After hearing Li Jing's explanation, the middle-aged man smiled bitterly and said, "But the mission was taken over by a general-level demon hunting group five days ago..."
The middle-aged man did not hesitate and explained everything to Deacon Li Jing, whose face gradually darkened.
Lin Feng also took this matter into consideration. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, after discussing with Long Haochen, he set out with two demon hunting teams early the next morning.
After explaining the situation, the middle-aged man asked, "Do you want to arrange for someone to go and pick him up..."
Deacon Li Jing pondered for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "Forget it. They are just a general-level demon hunting group. I'm afraid they can't even enter the heartland of the demon clan. When they understand the difficulty of the mission, they will naturally come back. Then you can deduct 10,000 points from my account and give them to them..."
The middle-aged man wanted to say something, but Deacon Li Jing rejected him, "Okay, stop talking. The fewer people who know about this, the better. After all, this is a mistake made by you and me at work. It will be hard to bear the punishment when the time comes..."
……
at the same time.
After four days of bumpy journey.
Lin Feng and his group finally arrived at the first stop of this trip.
"Starseeking City."
Lin Feng led Cai'er down from the carriage.
After everyone arrived.
Lin Feng looked at Long Haochen and said, "Haochen, we will stay in Xunxing City today. You guys go buy supplies for a month first. We will meet at Windesa Hotel in the south of the city in the evening."
Long Haochen nodded.
However, Wang Yuanyuan suddenly said in confusion: "Captain Lin, as far as I know, this place is only 300 miles away from the Southeast Fortress of the Warrior Temple Headquarters, and the Southeast Fortress is also the closest place to the Demon Tribe border. Why don't we rush to the Southeast Fortress to stay overnight? It's still early now..."
Lin Xiaoxiao, who is also a soldier, is also a little curious.
After all, they do have a sense of belonging to their own temple headquarters.
I also want to go and see it.
In response to Wang Yuanyuan's question, Lin Feng explained carefully.
"I believe everyone has done some homework in the past few days and knows that we need to pass through three of the 24 provinces of the Demon Race, and one of them is very close to the province where the Demon King is located."
With the coming of the Dark Ages, three quarters of the territory of the Holy Demon Continent has been occupied by the demons, and the demons have divided these territories into 24 provinces, each of which is guarded by a demon god.
The rest of the demons are scattered around.
Lin Feng continued, "We have a large number of people in this operation. If we directly break into the demon clan's territory, we may be exposed before we go far. Let alone advancing 2,300 miles, I am afraid that the elites of the demon clan will come to encircle and suppress us as soon as we reach the first province." "Not to mention that outside the Southeast Fortress, there are demons everywhere."
After hearing Lin Feng's words, Wang Yuanyuan suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
"Sorry, I didn't think it through." Wang Yuanyuan said with a hint of apology.
However, in response to Wang Yuanyuan's apology, Lin Feng's tone suddenly became serious and he glanced at everyone.
"Before heading to the demon territory, I must warn you not to act on your own and don't take things too lightly. This mission is more dangerous than you think!"
Hearing Lin Feng's somewhat serious tone, Wang Yuanyuan frowned slightly.
She couldn't help feeling a little unhappy inside. Although Lin Feng was the strongest among these fourteen people, she had only asked casually!
At this time, Long Haochen on the side coughed lightly and said, "Wang Yuanyuan, Brother Lin is not targeting you..."
Wang Yuanyuan gritted her teeth and said angrily, "Then tell me how we should get in?"
Although he also understood that Lin Feng was warning everyone, he still felt unhappy that she was using her question to speak.
Seeing this, Lin Feng did not argue with Wang Yuanyuan who was acting like a spoiled child, but just continued speaking.
"There is an organization active in Starseeking City that can freely travel to both the human and demon realms. They are called 'Free Merchants'."
"As long as we blend into their team, we will save a lot of trouble along the way."
Wang Yuanyuan was stunned for a moment and frowned slightly. She really didn't know that such an organization existed.
But I was still subconsciously curious and asked, "Then how can I get into their team?"
"I have a friend who is a free trader. She should have arrived in Xunxing City by the agreed time. I will go to her to check on the situation. We will meet at the Windesa Hotel in the south of the city in the evening."
Hearing Lin Feng's words, Wang Yuan was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that Lin Feng had already planned to this point.
Suddenly I felt that I was being unreasonable...
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
Long Haochen, the leader of the No. 2 Demon Hunting Group, coughed and said, "Well, Brother Lin, I'm going to take them to buy supplies first. We will be back to the hotel before the sun sets."
Seeing Lin Feng nod, Long Haochen took Wang Yuanyuan and others away.
Looking at Wang Yuanyuan who looked a little ashamed, Long Haochen said softly: "Wang Yuanyuan, you don't have to think too much. Brother Lin is not the kind of person who cares about every little thing. He is right. After all, we are going deep into the heart of the demon clan this time, and we can't take it lightly..."
Wang Yuanyuan nodded.
However, Han Yu at the side suddenly asked curiously, "Have you noticed that the girl named Funina in Captain Lin's team looks a bit like the god awakened by Captain Lin?"
"It does seem that his appearance is a bit..." Everyone couldn't help but ponder.
But then Wang Yuanyuan suddenly retorted: "Impossible."
"Why not? I feel like they look alike," said Chen Ying'er, who is also a woman.
“It may be a bit impolite for me to say this…” Wang Yuanyuan paused and continued, “But don’t you find that Fu Fu is a bit silly? Of course, I’m not saying that she is really silly, but I feel that her personality is a bit silly. And compared to the Water God, the difference in their personalities is really too big…”
Wang Yuanyuan whispered, "And compared to the Water God, Fu Fu is cuter..."
Everyone: "..."
It seems to be the case. Although Fu Fu is very cute, if Fu Fu is the water god.
The calm and reliable figure of Fucaros emerged in everyone's mind.
Suddenly, Funina's mischievous character popped out.
Everyone was immediately frightened and trembled.
