Chapter 129 Corpse Hanging at the City Gate (6000 Words)

The giant python is completely opposite to the large and small python. After this kind of spirit reaches the perfect state of clay sculpture, its body length is two and a half meters. The snake body is as thick as a bucket and extremely bloated.

The amazing thing is that its reaction is not slow. Whether it is biting or flicking its tail, it is like a flexible fat man, fierce and fierce.

"Yeah~~~"

"Eeyye~~~Eeyye~~~"

Guagua went crazy.

Since the "machine water cannon" smashed the python's teeth and aroused the python to become more ferocious, it jumped up and down and began to perform acrobatics.

It's obviously an ordinary "floating bubble", but here it looks like a spaceship, flying up and down.

In the end, the panting giant python drank a lot of water, felt that it was outmatched, and wanted to escape in despair.

"Eye?"

Seeing that Big Maggot was not playing with him, Guagua gave up temporarily.

It didn't understand the meaning of "hunting" or "killing" yet, so it tilted its head and tried to observe.

"Hua Zhu, come on."

For food and profit, the game of life and death is nature's way of survival.

But for the Pure Spirit, there may be a different understanding. Let nature take its course. Lord Ye Han is not in a hurry to change this part of Guagua's understanding.

"call--"

Flickering gently, it spanned dozens of meters in a snap.

With just one move of "Hurricane Scissors", Hua Zhu separated the head and body of the giant python, and the dark snake blood spattered all over the floor.

Curious, Guagua immediately approached the python's head.

But a creature like a snake will not lose its vitality all of a sudden even if its body and head are separated.

It opened its huge mouth and swallowed the pure white tadpole in one gulp.

After a while, Guagua emerged from its broken neck. There was no trace of blood on its body, and it was still translucent white, as clean as a piece of white jade porcelain.

"Eye..."

The only trace of surprise in his eyes, which had been upgraded from the size of a grain of rice to the size of a mung bean, disappeared.

Then, Guagua lost interest in the boa constrictor and went back to the kettle to play with bubbles.

Ye Hanjun let it play, while he began to deal with the body of the giant python.

Because the storage space of the dimensional space bag is extremely precious.

After peeling off the snake's skin and removing the most essence of the snake's gallbladder, Ye Hanjun cut off the tenderest piece of snake meat and discarded the rest.

Soon, dusk fell and smoke curled up.

Supplemented with several spiritual materials and several seasonings, a pot of snake soup is completed.

After Su Mei and Li Jingming tasted it, one marveled at how delicious it was, and the other drank the second bowl silently, expressing the joy of their taste buds with practical actions.

"The development and mastery of the three skills "Air Tread", "Tornado Kick" and "Psychic Sting"..."

"The capture of the supernumerary spirit "Mudblade Mantis"..."

"Guagua's promotion..."

"Everyone has gained a lot from this trip. There is no need to stay in the yellow mire and continue to endure the muddy and dirty mud."

"We will turn back tomorrow. We expect to officially leave the swamp the day after tomorrow, and then go straight to the academy."

After drinking enough, Lord Yehan decided.

Although I hope that the grimace moth and the pink ostrich will ascend to clay sculpture perfection as soon as possible.

But it’s really hard to force this kind of thing.

Especially Su Mei, her ostrich was promoted to the master of clay sculpture just twenty days ago.

At this stage, with the assistance of various resources, it is still a bit difficult to improve again.

"I'm finally going back..." Su Mei breathed a sigh of relief.

This week's experience, apart from not encountering the massacre by the Four Ghosts mercenary group, was far more dangerous than the survival trial.

Her and Li Jingming's nerves were constantly tense, and they were always on high alert, unable to relax at all.

Now that I heard that I am about to return, I first felt that this trip was worthwhile and fulfilling beyond imagination.

The next second, when the joy came over, strong anticipation arose spontaneously.

“咴咴……咴咴……”

The process of leaving the yellow mire was far smoother than expected.

The two bandits who escaped were never seen again.

The ghost flower girl wandering in the night has never really been seen.

Even Ye Hanjun found the "cattle and horses" he bought with money in the nearby forest.

This big guy only had a bulge on his head, as if he had been stung by a poisonous bee.

Other than that, it's in good condition and serves as a transportation mount without any issues.

Riding on a cow or horse, you are holding a mud-blade mantis like flying a kite.

Three people and four beasts were walking through the uninhabited jungle, and occasionally encountered a small village composed of dozens of people. They all chose to take a detour and did not disturb them rashly.

At night, a row of stretching blue bamboo forests comes into view, and the refreshing bamboo fragrance spreads for thousands of meters. Everyone who smells it is shocked and subconsciously slows down their running speed.

Canghai Pavilion - almost there!

This is a barrier outside Canghai Pavilion. By planting "blue bamboo" on a large area, it can effectively repel some harmful insects and ants and prevent them from damaging urban buildings.

"You go back first and don't worry about me."

"By the way, tomorrow evening, remember to ask Wang Xinfei to gather in the training room."

"There are less than ten days left before the freshman competition, and we can still make the final sprint before the competition."

"Yes, Master Han."

Su Mei and Li Jingming bid farewell to Lord Ye Han and entered the city gate separately along the narrow path.

In a dark place with no one around, Ye Hanjun took off his wig and makeup on his face, restoring his true appearance.

Then, after having a barbecue outdoors, he put on his own black windbreaker and a wide-brimmed hat, and rode a cow and horse leisurely towards the city gate.

"See, that's the leader of the Four Ghosts Mercenary Group!"

"What a miserable death. After all, he was a third-level strong man. He was unruly and unruly in life. I didn't expect that he would look so miserable after death. It's true that evil is rewarded, and he deserves it!"...

Whispers came from the crowd.

Lord Yehan's expression changed, and he couldn't help but raise his head and look at the city gate.

There are dozens of entrances and exits to Canghai Pavilion. Sumei and Li Jingming took a detour and returned from the second and third gates of the North Campus respectively.

But what he chose was the first gate.

This is the main city gate of the North Campus. The gate pillars alone are two hundred meters wide.

The frost-white door opens to both sides, and there is a blue-gold door plaque above it. On it are the three characters "Canghai Pavilion" with dragons and phoenixes dancing in them. Each stroke penetrates the metal, with the momentum of a giant leaping dragon, moving clouds and flowing water, magnificent.

but……

Different from the past, there are two more stone pillars erected in the center.

The one on the left has a figure tied to the top, naked, every inch of skin is torn, and dark red blood is constantly dripping down the stone pillar.

Judging by his appearance alone, Ye Hanjun is very unfamiliar, because he is a completely unfamiliar middle-aged man with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a chin like a tiger's neck.

But the other stone pillar was easy to identify. It was a bird that had been dead for a long time, with blood-red feathers all over its body. The permeating smell of blood couldn't be more familiar.

——Bloody Bird!

Unexpectedly, after returning from a hunting trip, the leader of the Four Ghost Mercenary Group, "Ghost Hand", had been killed.

"Who is this? He wants to hang it at the city gate, letting the sun shine and wild birds peck at it. What kind of crime requires the hospital to take such drastic measures?"

"You don't know this, right? This man did all kinds of evil. More than a dozen students and teaching assistants from the college died tragically in his hands. Even two official instructors were disabled because of him."

"If Canghai Pavilion doesn't deal with such a vicious and daring person with thunderous methods, outsiders will definitely despise him."

"This is a public deterrent to tell those with ulterior motives that those who offend our Canghai will be punished no matter how far away they are!"

The crowds of people coming and going are not as dense as a stream.

But the spirits that accompany the Lord range from tigers, cheetahs, wild boars...down to beetles, sparrows, mice...all kinds of strange things.

Almost everyone would raise their heads and cast a glance at the miserable person and beast.

Then, some people snorted, some lamented, some gossiped, and some remained silent.

"Who killed him? I heard that this person was a D-class "killer", and the Blood-Hand Bird was a Jade Infant. With such strength, most of the instructors in the academy were no match for him. Could it be that a big shot at the vice-dean level personally took action? "

"Hey, you were half right."

Some students snickered and responded:

"There is indeed a fourth-level big shot who will hunt him down personally."

"But the one who first found the hiding place of Ghost Hand and beheaded him was the famous Windrunner - Ji Yan!"

"You must have all heard of this person's name."

"According to my research, he was also a student of Canghai Pavilion before, and he was favored by mentor Tong Xuan."

"This time, Master Tong was crippled by ghost hands. He has very little life left and may not survive more than five years."

"Master Ji left the academy in anger, chased for thousands of miles, slaughtered many evil people, searched for all kinds of clues, and finally locked the location of the ghost hand..."

Ye Hanjun eavesdropped on the conversations of passers-by with great interest.

There may be some exaggerations in it, but the main part should be correct.

Ji Yan killed Guishou? interesting.

I just don’t know, has the person who hired the ghost hand been found?

Glancing at the knife marks all over the body, it seemed that such injuries were unlikely to have been triggered during the battle, but more likely to have been captured alive and tortured to extract a confession.

But the killer has a passive power called "employment agreement". Once he accepts employment, in addition to paying corresponding remuneration, the hired party must also passively abide by the confidentiality agreement.

This kind of restriction stems from authority, even if it is not a conventional method, it is difficult to pry words out of the killer's mouth.

"Is this a good thing?"

With a chuckle, Lord Ye Han asked himself secretly.

Killing the evildoers who provoke the hospital in a short period of time is a way of proving one's strength, which can undoubtedly maximize the deterrent effect.

Even if they fail to identify who wants to target the Wang family and who wants to take his life.

The person who coveted it behind the scenes would either pay several times the price and commit the crime against the odds.

Or stop for a while and temporarily die down.

No matter which outcome, it doesn't seem to be a bad thing for Lord Ye Han.

"Look, that XX is actually riding a cow and horse!"

"Hahaha, how could anyone contract with such a beloved spirit? I'll see you soon!"

Ye Hanjun, who covered himself tightly and restrained his breath, was not noticed at all.

However, riding an ox and horse still seems a bit strange, and sometimes it will attract the laughter of passers-by A and B.

They thought that the noisy crowd kept enough distance so that Lord Ye Han could not hear them.

However, Mr. Ye Han, who listened to every word accurately, went in with his left ear and out with his right ear, and didn't care about these strange looks at all.

“咴咴……”

After a while, the cows and horses followed Ye Hanjun to Hutou Courtyard.

Ye Hanjun patted its head, tied it to the big tree at the door, and said to himself:

"You idiot, if you can survive the next hunt, I will get some materials and help you get Kasumi Teru's fetus."

"If you don't have this luck, don't blame me. Serving delicious food and drinks these days is just like the last meal before death."

“咴咴……”

Cows and horses are cuter than pink ostriches. If you want to understand human language, you will probably have to wait for the next life.

But this cow and horse has "docility" as its core personality.

Ye Hanjun only needs to be fed food a few times, and he will behave very lovingly.

This is also an important reason why it is quite smooth to go there and back twice.

"Just stay."

With a beeping sound, Ye Hanjun opened the door, his first target pointed directly at the bathroom.

Although Guagua's rinsing service has become more and more skillful, the ice water it sprays is cold, and after all, it is not as exciting as the hot water filled with petals.

Along with the relief suppressed in the throat, it burst into steaming water mist.

Ye Hanjun took a bath for a full hour and felt refreshed when he came out, with most of the fatigue from the past week dissipated.

But this was not enough. Ye Hanjun did not think about anything. He lay on the bed in a blink of an eye, covered himself with quilt, and fell into the deepest sleep in less than three seconds.

So, the next day, it was not light yet.

Yehanjun woke up from his sleep, full of energy, and his fair skin was filled with a trace of blood.

"Yeah~~~"

The little tadpole, who also slept for a while, then changed from the stone state back to his true body.

Its two eyes are also shining brightly, and it seems that every day is full of expectations. It is difficult for emotions such as worries to really affect its mood.

Ye Hanjun played with Guagua for a while.

Then think carefully about what to do next, and plan step by step from the long term to the short term.

The missing life essence in the body has long been steadily restored to strength through a series of powerful drugs and foods.

At this stage, Hua Zhu does not need to be deliberately cultivated. Participating in death challenges every day is enough for her to gain hundreds or thousands of skill proficiency points.

"Coaches" are also about to achieve a breakthrough, which can take as little as ten days or as long as twenty days, just step by step.

Then, the remaining problems are nothing more than "Contract Demon" and "Blood Contract Ceremony".

In addition, it is necessary to confirm the death of Guishou and whether the hospital has obtained information about the employer.

If not, he would have to find a way on his own to find the person behind the scenes as soon as possible and make this potential threat... disappear as soon as possible!

After his thoughts became clear, Ye Hanjun first went to Cross Old Street to sell the materials obtained from hunting in the Yellow Mire Swamp in batches.

While earning spirit stones, replenish lost props and medicines to ensure that there are always abundant supplies in the dimensional space bag.

Then, Lord Ye Han, who had been working hard for most of the afternoon, went to the mission hall to check the "eyewitness mission" he had issued.

"Sir, I'm sorry, all the 500 low-grade spiritual stones you have stored here have been deducted."

The sitting receptionist handed over a sealed box after checking the information.

"This is all the information collected. There are 18 pieces in total. Please read it yourself."

"so much?"

Ye Hanjun was a little surprised. He found a VIP lounge, locked the door and read the scroll.

[Information 1: Someone excavated the skeleton of a suspected demon in the woods 700 miles south of Canghai Pavilion. The relevant bone fragments were identified and suspected to be authentic... This incident occurred a year ago. 】

[Information 2: Some students were in Hongshan Village near Canghai Pavilion and heard rumors that a hundred years ago, a pig-headed dog with bat wings broke into the village, a monster suspected to be a "pig demon". Later, they were jointly encircled and suppressed by the hunters in the village, but no one returned, and the whereabouts of the monster is unknown...]

[Information 3: Someone mentioned that an intact deviled egg once appeared in an underground auction house. It was later bid by an unknown buyer and its whereabouts are unknown. Mark, this incident occurred ten years ago...]

[Information 4: An anonymous teaching assistant provided information. He once saw a kind of black blood in the laboratory of a certain instructor. Although the variety is unknown, the label on it is "Devil's Blood". This incident occurred five years ago...]

…

It took Ye Hanjun a few minutes to read 18 pieces of information.

Then, he frowned slightly, playing with a few black bone fragments as "physical evidence" and remaining silent.

This information...is not reliable as a whole.

Although three people provided physical evidence, only one of the bones felt vaguely "friendly" when held in one's hands.

The other two were not demon bones at all, but belonged to certain dark-attributed spirits. Because they were too broken, Lord Ye Han could not identify them.

"It's all "suspicious" and "inference", or it's "a long time ago"..."

"If I were to track down the whereabouts of these devil eggs, devil blood, and devil bones myself, I don't know how much time and energy would be wasted..."

"This is not guaranteed. When we really find it, if the demon breed is too low-end, should I make the contract for now and find ways to strengthen the bloodline later, or should I never give up and give up immediately?"

After careful consideration, Ye Hanjun temporarily put away the information, left the VIP lounge, and found the staff again.

He continued to publish the task of "finding demons". This time, he paid 1,000 low-grade spiritual stones in advance, and asked to mark it on the task announcement. If he can provide enough high-quality clues that can help him find an unusual living demon body, he can leave a contact method, a large sum of spiritual stones will be added as reward during the introduction.

"Sir, your assignment has been issued."

The staff member smiled, signaled to Ye Hanjun that he could leave, and then asked the people in line behind him to step forward.

There are hundreds of new tasks released in the Task Hall every day, and there are hundreds of tasks that require payment after completion.

This kind of task related to the prison spirit is rare in ordinary times.

But among all the tasks, they can only be small tasks that are a bit curious. To say how special and special... they are not.

[Urgent mission (extremely low difficulty): Staff member Qian Granny’s pet spirit is lost near Xiangman Building in Beiyuan District. I kindly ask kind people to help find it... The reward is 5 low-grade spirit stones. 】

[Limited time mission (normal difficulty): Three days only. We are in urgent need of the fluff of the "Dollar Rabbit", the horns of the "Ice Rhino", the glands of the grass spider... The reward is 60 low-grade spiritual stones. 】

[Special mission (difficulty capped): wipe out all four ghost mercenary groups. If anyone can provide any clues about the employer behind them or other channels, and find the enemies who secretly covet the Blue Frog King’s family, the Wang family is willing to provide 10,000-50,000 low-grade spiritual stones. Serve as reward. 】

…

Come here, Ye Hanjun, who finished issuing the mission, took a look around by himself.

If he can find a task that pays extremely well and is difficult enough for him, he won't mind making some pocket money.

After all, there is still a huge gap in the materials needed for the Blood Pact Ceremony, and making money is something that can never be given up.

But it's a pity that Ye Hanjun is unwilling to accept some tasks that pay a lot of money but require the use of special formulas to help mutation or ascension.

Most of the remaining tasks are not even as good as going out to hunt by yourself. You can hone yourself and grow, and earn spiritual stones, which has multiple benefits.

However, he did confirm one thing. The Wang family behind Wang Xinfei and even Canghai Pavilion had released tasks, and other places would only cast a wider net and release more.

It seems that the death of Guishou did not expose the real employer. If the enemy cannot be found for a day, the Wang family must also feel a headache, right?

Thinking about it, the time is almost up.

Ye Hanjun left the mission hall, rode an ox and horse, and went straight to the No. 76 training hall.

Not long after he arrived, three fat and tall "strong men" knocked on the door of the super empty training room.

"Master Han."

Su Mei, Li Jingming, and Wang Xinfei saluted one by one.

Ye Hanjun glanced at them. After a whole night of adjustments, the fatigue hidden in the eyes of Su Mei and Li Jingming had almost disappeared, and both of them were in perfect condition, full of energy.

Only Wang Xinfei can only stay in the academy these days.

Although with her financial resources, there is no pressure to rent the training room 24 hours a day, and the materials and medicines she wants can basically be obtained quickly.

But her face didn't look full, and there was a hint of fatigue in her determination.

"Have you increased your training volume?" Ye Hanjun asked.

Wang Xinfei nodded lightly and said:

"Now I know that the actual effect of step-by-step and steady training is not as good as in the wild."

"But Master Han, please rest assured, I am not blindly seeking speed. I will customize the food for Helmet according to the content mentioned in your scroll."

"In addition, I also hired a student with the title of "masseur" to help relieve muscle fatigue every day so that he can better devote himself to training. "

"Summon it out and let me take a look." Lord Ye Han ordered.

With a swish sound, the armored horse appeared in the training room.

Its mental state is better than that of Wang Xinfei, but a lot of scales fell off its body. It is suspected that it suffered serious injuries during the battle with the beast.

"Qualification assessment."

——

[Race Name]: Armored Horse

[Chaos Seal]: "Barbarian"

[Major]: Physical Taoism

[Rank]: Clay Sculpture Fetus·Dacheng

[Chaos Spirit Pattern]: 40th pattern "Crash", 55th pattern "Back Kick", 60th pattern "Trample", 80th pattern "Iron Armor Charge", 65th pattern "Brute Force"

[Core personality]: "Self-esteem"

[Current status]: Fatigue/injury…

[Contractual relationship]: stable

It can be confirmed with the naked eye that the armored horse has not advanced and is still at the level of a complete clay sculpture.

But compared to eight days ago, it has mastered the additional skill "brute force", with a total of 65 lines.
