Escort mission
The next day, Tang Jin went to the east of the city first. After delivering the letter, he asked the recipient to sign a receipt. Then, he went to the Hunter's Association.
"Hello, how can I help you?" The receptionist looked at Tang Jin with a smile and asked politely.
Tang Jin took out his Hunter Badge and handed it to the receptionist. "Mission submission."
"Alright." The receptionist took Tang Jin's Hunter Badge and operated it for a while. Then, he said to Tang Jin, "Mission 1744 * 57: Delivering a letter from Fixed Sky City to Southern Glory City has been completed. Reward: 50 copper coins. Hunter Points: 2 The reward has been issued. "
He then handed Tang Jin 50 copper coins and his hunter badge.
Tang Jin nodded after receiving the Hunter's Badge and the fifty copper coins. He thanked the receptionist and left the counter.
Standing in front of the Spirit Screen and looking at the rows of missions on it, Tang Jin began to have a headache again. It seemed like the Red Rank Mission was the best no matter where it was.
Suddenly, Tang Jin saw a mission with a white label.
"Escort Mission: From Southern Glory City to Dong 'an City of Tian Xian Province. Requirements: Xiantian Realm Level One and above. Reward: 3 gold coins. Hunter Points: 50 points. "
In the mission column of the Hunter Association, different levels of missions would be marked with different colors. However, some special missions would be marked with different colors. For example, this white-labeled mission was called a mandatory mission. Normally, the mission with the Rainbow Emblem required players to reach the designated Hunter level before they could complete it. On the other hand, the white-labeled missions did not require a specific Hunter level. Instead, the employer would set the requirements. No matter what your Hunter level was, you could complete the mission as long as you met the requirements.
The Idle Sky Province was located south of Southern Glory City and was two provinces away from Southern Glory City. In other words, if one wanted to reach Idle Sky Province from Southern Glory City, they would have to cross two provinces: Tian Kui Province and Tian Gang Province. With such a long escort distance, it was no wonder that the reward was so high. However, Tang Jin didn't mind because the route required for this quest was exactly the same as his own.
After accepting the mission without hesitation, Tang Jin walked out of the Hunter Association and headed to the Duan Yun Inn in the south of the city where the employer was located.
Outside Duan Yun Inn.
Tang Jin looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and handed his hunter badge to him. "I'm a bounty hunter who accepted an escort mission."
The middle-aged man looked at Tang Jin in confusion and took Tang Jin's Hunter Badge. After checking it, he confirmed that Tang Jin was here for an escort mission. Then, he looked at Tang Jin and asked doubtfully, "Do you know that the mission's requirement is to be at least at the Xiantian stage?"
The mustached man could not believe that Tang Jin had already reached the Xiantian stage at such a young age.
Tang Jin smiled and raised his right hand. Xiantian spiritual energy gushed out and he used his strength to prove that he was indeed a cultivator at the Xiantian stage.
The mustached man was shocked when he saw the thick Xiantian spiritual energy in Tang Jin's hand. How old was this young man? Sixteen? Seventeen? He was already at the Xiantian stage. Obviously, the mustached man did not know that Tang Jin was only twelve years old.
"Your mission this time is to escort our Miss safely to Dong 'an City in Tian Xian Province. I'm the person in charge. You can call me Mr. Hu. If you have any questions or requests, you can talk to me." After confirming that Tang Jin was at the Xiantian stage, Mr. Hu's serious expression eased a little. He told Tang Jin about the person they were escorting and his name.
Tang Jin nodded, indicating that she understood. Then, she said to Mr. Hu, "My name is Tang Shi."
"Alright, Tang Shi. We'll leave this afternoon. Come back this afternoon. We'll meet in front of Duan Yun Inn. "Mr. Hu smiled and said to Tang Jin.
"Alright."
In Tian Kui Province, on the official road from Lan Yun City to Zishan City, a group of about a hundred people was moving slowly on the road.
Tang Jin was among them!
"Tang Shi, what's the point of you riding in front? Come over here and let's have a chat." A burly man behind the group shouted to Tang Jin who was riding in front.
Tang Jin turned the horse around and galloped in the direction of the burly man. With a smile, he said to the burly man, "Wang Laoliu, if you want to ride my horse for a while, just say it. Why do you have to find such an excuse?"
When the burly man called Wang Laoliu heard Tang Jin's teasing, he was not embarrassed at all. Instead, he laughed and said, "I, Wang Laoliu, didn't mean it that way. You say, you ride a horse all day and trot in front. Isn't it boring? You might as well come and chat with us. That's more refreshing. Don't you think so? "
After saying that, Wang Laoliu looked at the people around him. The people around him also smiled slightly.
Tang Jin smiled and did not reply. Seeing that Tang Jin did not say anything, Wang Laoliu continued to chat with the people around him.
Tang Jin turned his head and looked at the carriage in the middle of the group. He frowned thoughtfully.
After a few days of interaction, Tang Jin had already learned some basic information about the mission from Mr. Hu.
The person escorting this time was the eldest daughter of the Su family from Dong 'an City in Tian Xian Province. As for her name, Tang Jin did not ask and Mr. Hu did not tell him.
The Su family was already considered one of the top families in Dong 'an City. However, in Tian Xian Province, they could only be considered as a second-rate family. In the entire Tang dynasty, they could only be considered as a third-rate family.
According to Mr. Hu, the eldest daughter of the Su family came from Dong 'an City to Southern Glory City to visit a close friend of the family head who was an official in the imperial court. After visiting, she would return home. As for why she needed so many people to escort her home, Tang Jin tactfully did not ask.
Among the group of more than a hundred people, about ten of them were from the employer's family. The remaining ninety or so were bounty hunters. Among them, there were more than seventy of them who were at the Innate Stage and more than ten who were at the Qi Refining Stage.
Even so, this group of people was considered strong in the eyes of ordinary people. Hiring so many people to escort her for no reason just to show off? Tang Jin did not believe it. The other bounty hunters also did not believe it. Therefore, although the bounty hunters appeared to be laughing and fooling around nonchalantly, they were secretly vigilant to prevent any accidents.
One had to know that if the employer was injured or killed, their mission would be considered a failure. The reward for completing the mission was great, but the punishment for failing was even greater! The bounty hunters did not want their years of hard work to go down the drain.
Tang Jin still walked in front on his horse alone. This was not because Tang Jin was arrogant.
In the beginning, Tang Jin also walked with the other bounty hunters. However, when they saw Tang Jin's luxurious clothes and his expensive Snowstrider Horse, other than the careless Wang Laoliu, all the other bounty hunters subconsciously distanced themselves from Tang Jin. It was not that they disliked Tang Jin or looked down on Tang Jin. It was just that they were not from the same world.
Just like that, after a while, Tang Jin simply walked in front on his horse and did not join them.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh
The sound of something breaking through the air came from afar, attacking Tang Jin and the others.
Dozens of arrows shot towards them like dozens of black stars. They were so fast that no one could react in time.
Among them, two were actually shot towards Tang Jin!
Looking at the arrows flying towards him, Tang Jin had goosebumps all over his body. His scalp seemed to have jumped up.
As expected, the bird that sticks out gets shot. Because Tang Jin was riding in front of everyone, two arrows were shot towards him together.
One arrow was shot towards Tang Jin's head, and the other was shot towards Tang Jin's chest. As for the Snowstrider Horse that Tang Jin was riding, it was automatically ignored by the enemy. Who would be willing to shoot such a precious horse to death?
Looking at the arrows that were constantly approaching him, getting closer and closer, Tang Jin felt that the space and time around him had stagnated. He could even clearly see the trajectory of the arrows in the air. Tang Jin tried his best to dodge, but he could not move. He could clearly feel the arrows getting closer and closer, but he could not move at all!
Tang Jin tried his best to circulate the spirit energy in his body. He tried his best to move his body, hoping to dodge the two arrows! At this moment, the spirit energy in Tang Jin's body circulated at a speed a hundred times faster than before. The muscles on Tang Jin's body squirmed rapidly.
But it was still too late.
The moment before Tang Jin was about to dodge, the two arrows had already hit Tang Jin's body.
Ah ah ah ah
Waves of screams rang out. The hunters behind Tang Jin also fell one by one. All of them were shot in the heart and head by the arrows.
What the crowd did not notice was that Tang Jin, who was shot, did not explode like the other Hunters and then fall to the ground. Instead, she was "knocked" away by the arrow!
After the rain of arrows, other than the carriages that were deliberately avoided by the enemy, there were only hunters who had reached the Qi Refining stage and had already cultivated Qi to protect themselves outside the carriages.
When a cultivator reached the Qi Refining stage, they would be able to cultivate their own attribute of Qi. When facing an enemy, Qi could be used to protect the cultivator's body. Qi could be used like armor to protect the cultivator. Its defensive capabilities were extremely strong.
"Hahaha, Miss Su, please come out. I, Ran, have been waiting here for a long time. "Suddenly, a loud laugh came from the forest around the road. Then, a middle-aged scholar slowly walked out from the depths of the forest.
After the middle-aged man with the surname Ran came out, black-clothed men slowly jumped down from the trees in the surrounding forest. The black-clothed men were holding crossbows and arrows and had sabers at their waists. They stood neatly behind the middle-aged man with the surname Ran.
"Hmph, who are you? Why did you attack our Su Family's carriage? " There was no movement in the carriage. Instead, a man with a handlebar mustache angrily glared at the middle-aged man with the surname Ran and asked angrily.
This man with the handlebar mustache was Mr. Hu. He did not expect that the originally unremarkable man with the handlebar mustache, who looked like a steward, was actually a Qi Refining stage cultivator. The flickering blue Qi around him indicated that he was a Water Spirit cultivator.
The middle-aged man with the surname Ran glanced at Mr. Hu. His smile didn't fade as he enthusiastically said, "Me? My full name is Ran Quan. You must be Mr. Hu, right? I've heard a lot about you. I've heard a lot about you. "
Ran Quan's gentle smile made it seem as if he wasn't the one who had been hiding in the dark and wanted to kill Mr. Hu and his men.
Mr. Hu didn't reply. Instead, he looked at Ran Quan with a gloomy expression and murderous intent.
Ran Quan maintained his smile and didn't say anything else. Instead, he waved his hand. The black-clothed men behind him ran out from the left and right sides and surrounded Mr. Hu and his men. The black-clothed men took out the sabers at their waists and pointed them at the men.
Mr. Hu's expression turned even colder when he saw the cold saber light and the fifty black-clothed men releasing their Qi.
"Forget it, forget it."
