Chapter 525: Join the team
After hesitating for a moment, Fang asked carefully: "But I am just a monk in the Foundation Establishment Stage, and it is my first time to come to the Ziwu Sea. Why did you think of coming to find me? Also, is your intermediate mission dangerous?"
Jiang Chen decided to first understand what the intermediate task Yang Maoqing took was. If there was no danger, he wouldn't mind acting with them. After all, he was a little worried about going to the depths of the Purple Misty Sea alone.
After hearing this, Yang Maoqing sighed: "If you want to talk about danger, there is no unsafe task after coming to the Purple Mist Sea! The intermediate task that Yang took was to go to the Black Stone Island in the Purple Mist Sea, the Misty Waters, where to kill a ninth-level monster white-headed black bear, and obtain its demon pill. The defense of this white-headed black bear is very amazing, and ordinary five-element spell attacks are difficult to work. However, its defense against ghost magic is extremely poor, so I hope you can go with us..."
Speaking of this, Yang Maoqing paused for a moment, and then continued: "Brother Jiang, I know that there are three primary monster hunting missions on the way to the place where the white-headed black bear is located, and they are all tasks that are easier to complete. You can also take on these three tasks and everyone will complete them together."
"It sounds pretty good, but why did you think of finding me? I am just a late-stage cultivator in the foundation building stage. Can my ghost magic really hurt the ninth-level monster?" Jiang Chen asked in confusion.
After all, he also knew that monsters of the same level were often more powerful than monks of the same level. His cultivation level at the late stage of foundation building may be able to defeat the early stage of Jindan cultivators, and he can compete with the middle stage of Jindan cultivators. But the late stage of Jindan cultivators may not be able to beat them... let alone the ninth-level monsters equivalent to the late stage of Jindan cultivators. He had previously killed the Fire Wolf, who was also a ninth-level monster with Xu Jing, but it left a profound impression on him.
"This is absolutely fine! Even if you only have the late stage of foundation building cultivation, you are definitely qualified to help us complete the task." After Yang Maoqing said this with confidence, his eyes seemed to be glowing green, and he sat next to Jiang Chen. He had the intention of Jiang Chen not letting him go if he didn't agree.
Jiang Chen was amused and crying. At this time, he and Yang Maoqing were sitting next to each other, and the two looked at each other. Jiang Chen saw anxious and hopeful eyes from Yang Maoqing's eyes, without a gloomy or cunning look.
Jiang Chen sighed and thought to himself that this guy must really want to invite him to go with him.
So he withdrew his gaze, but said cautiously: "Brother Yang, you haven't finished answering me yet."
"Oh, I'm sorry. Yang was a little excited just now. The main reason is that it's too difficult to find a ghost cultivator now... In fact, little brother, you can rest assured that the white-headed black bear has a poor defense against ghost spells. Generally, ghost spells cast by monks in the middle stage of foundation building can cause damage to it. It's even better if you are in the late stage of foundation building."
"Of course, its attack power is also amazing. If you hit you, you will probably be seriously injured... So, I will attract its attention at that time. Just hide behind and use ghost magic to attack. If it turns around and chases you, the rest of our monk team will protect you. Please rest assured! Even if Yang Maoqing's life is gone, it will never let the white-black black bear hurt you!" Yang Maoqing's words were said firmly, making people unquestionable of his sincerity.
However, Jiang Chen did not agree to him immediately, but thought for a while and said, "Fellow Daoist Yang. I may have to consider this matter. It will be this time in three days. Let's meet in the Commercial Alliance. I will give you a clear answer at that time!" Jiang Chen said after thinking for a while.
"Okay! I will definitely wait for you then!" Yang Maoqing was a little disappointed that Jiang Chen did not agree immediately after hearing this. However, he nodded and agreed.
After Jiang Chen left the gate of the Shang League, he went straight to an inn on Ziwu Island, where he found a local snake named Wanshitong. He learned about Yang Maoqing's situation. This person was the contact person at Ziwu Island stationed at the Magic Sect Training Camp.
The result of understanding proves that Yang Maoqing did not lie to him. He is indeed a casual cultivator and has been in the Ziwuhai for many years. Moreover, according to the news of the world, this person is quite confident and loyal, and will not do anything to break up bridges across the river. He is just a little stubborn, so his casual cultivator team has always been very small, and now there are only five or six people.
"Well, it seems that Yang Maoqing is a good person. I can go to the fog area together." Jiang Chen thought to himself after reading the information.
Three days later, Jiang Chen arrived at the Demon Sect Business Alliance again, and saw that Yang Maoqing had been waiting there. Jiang Chen readily agreed to go to the Youwu Waters with him, but he refused on the grounds that Yang Maoqing had not yet formed a pill, saying that he was thinking about how to form pills, and he needed to focus and worry.
Under the guidance of Yang Maoqing, Jiang Chen took on three primary tasks of hunting monsters, and then the two made an appointment to meet at the dock on the island the next morning.
Yang Maoqing also gave him a list of essential items to carry to the Yuwu Waters. This surprised Jiang Chen. He did not expect such a carefree and arduous person to have such a careful and meticulous place. It seems that this person can be a casual cultivator and have been in the Ziwu Sea for so long.
Early the next morning, Jiang Chen came to the dock of Ziwu Island. As soon as he showed up, he saw Yang Maoqing greeting him, and then said with a smile: "Brother Jiang, you are finally here... Come here to sit here! Let me introduce it to you!"
After saying that, he led Jiang Chen to a table. Jiang Chen looked at it and saw three people sitting next to the table. One was a thin man in his thirties, carrying a golden hard arm bow and an arrow pouch, and he looked like an archer.
Yang Maoqing introduced: "This is Luo Tiegang from our team. He is a monk from Feng Linggen and is good at using bows and arrows to defend against enemies!"
It seems that Yang Maoqing had already mentioned Jiang Chen to Luo Tiegang. Luo Tiegang immediately stood up and smiled and said, "Hello, brother Jiang! If you have this ghost monk help you, we will be much more relaxed."
Jiang Chen also quickly smiled back.
At this time, another person also stood up and introduced himself to Jiang Chen, "Hello Fellow Daoist Jiang! My name is Xu Shengrui. I am a thunder cultivator."
When Jiang Chen heard that the other party was a thunder cultivator, he carefully observed it because they were the ghost cultivators who were the most afraid of the thunder cultivators.
He glanced at him and saw that Xu Shengrui was a young man in his twenties. He looked ordinary and wore a tight leather armor. He was not too tall. He had a dagger and storage bag hanging around his waist. There was also a lightning sign engraved on the leather armor. He was dressed as a standard thunder monk.
After Jiang Chen and Xu Shengrui also greeted each other, they turned their eyes to the last person.
He looked closely and was stunned for a moment. The last person was a girl who looked seventeen or eighteen years old. She had a beautiful appearance, but there was a lack of coldness and tenderness in her eyebrows. Moreover, he actually knew this woman. She was Bingyu Ling who had lost a move in the finals and was the second place in the training camp rankings. Unexpectedly, she also got involved in this casual cultivator team.
At this time, when the two of them saw Yang Maoqing leading Jiang Chen over, they both smiled and nodded to him.
Bing Yuling also recognized Jiang Chen, but he pretended to know him for the first time, and then secretly sent a message to him: "Yang Maoqing said that he had found a very young ghost monk to act with us. I was still wondering who it was. I didn't expect it to be Jiang Chen, a famous genius in our training camp!"
"Hey, Miss Bing, you'll kill me if you say that. Who doesn't know that Hu Xuesong and you are the first two geniuses in the training camp? I'm far behind you." Jiang Chen quickly replied with a modest voice.
"No need to mention that pervert Hu Xuesong. That guy is probably a monster that only took thousands of years to produce. Most people cannot compare with him. However, what you don't know is that all the trainees in the training camp actually recognize that you are the number one pervert in the training camp. Hu Xuesong has the qualification of the Holy Spirit Root. It's not enough to have this talent, but you are just the qualification of the spiritual root, and it's so powerful that everyone can't help but look at him with admiration!" Bing Yuling obviously has regarded Hu Xuesong as an alternative, but Jiang Chen is even more alternative among other alternatives in her opinion.
"Okay! I'm here, I'll talk about our route itinerary!" Yang Maoqing was also very happy at this time.
He suddenly pulled a ghost monk and an ice monk. Although he was only a temporary franchise, it was something he had never experienced since he founded this casual cultivator team.
Then he pulled over a chair and sat down at the table, and then told the four of them about his arrangements...
It turned out that although it was very close to the Purple Island to the Youwu Waters, Yang Maoqing believed that the number of monsters in this area was greatly reduced due to too many monks from various areas of the Demon Sect, and it was already at the point where there were too many monks and fewer porridges. It was difficult to complete the task there, hunting a large number of monsters.
So he proposed to go to Suyan Island, another small island a thousand miles away, and enter the misty waters from there.
There is no teleportation array from Ziwu Island to Suyan Island, so you need to fly over.
Yang Maoqing felt that it was a waste to fly over like this, so he took on an escort mission in the name of the team. He escorted a boat of Qingyoumu to Suyan Island, and after he was sent, he could earn a lot of spirit stones. After arriving at Suyan Island, they flew south again and entered a dangerous place in the western waters of the Ziwu Sea - the Youwu Water.
According to Yang Maoqing's previous investigation, there should be white-bred black bears appearing in the misty waters. There are also many monsters such as golden sand sharks, black squids and other monsters appearing along the way, which can just complete two of the three primary tasks they took.
It seems that Yang Maoqing is really good at calculating. Jiang Chen thought to himself.
Then, Yang Maoqing explained to him and Bing Yuling in detail some key points for team combat cooperation and precautions in the mist waters, and then took everyone on the road. (To be continued...)
