Night.
Snow Eagle Territory, Snowrock Castle, Study.
Dongbo Xue Ying sat behind his desk, while Zong Ling and Tong San also casually sat down.
"Snow Eagle, why are you looking for us?" Tong San was somewhat puzzled.
"I went to look for the Great Daoist Master today. The Great Daoist Master agreed to accept Qing Shi as his personal disciple, but he made two requests. One was 50,000 gold coins. Or the Silver Moon Wolf King's heart. As long as he satisfies one of his requests, Qing Shi will be able to acknowledge him as his master. "Dongbo Xue Ying said.
"50,000 gold coins?" Tong San stared at him, "You're really black-hearted. Your Uncle Zong, Master and I risked our lives in the past, but we didn't get many treasures. After Master got pregnant, we had a big, unexpected gain! Otherwise, how could your father and the others buy the noble title and the Snow Eagle Territory? Did he just ask for fifty thousand gold coins? "
This amount was very exaggerated. Even if a Meteor Knight were to pour out his entire fortune, it would be hard for him to take out such an amount.
His parents were one of the few lucky ones when they were adventuring outside. Moreover, adventurers usually went to very dangerous places, and the death rate was extremely high. His parents were lucky enough to survive, so they could buy a title and a territory! Moreover, those who dared to become adventurers weren't afraid of death and were extremely fierce. This was also the reason why even though the nobles of Water Rites Town knew that Snow Eagle Territory was very rich, none of them dared to have any thoughts about it.
"The Silvermoon Wolf King's heart is even more difficult." At the side, Zong Ling frowned. "If it's just a simple fourth rank Silver Moon Wolf King, with Snow Eagle's current strength and our cooperation, there's still a chance of winning! But the Silvermoon Wolf King has a large pack of wolves under his command … When surrounded by a pack of wolves, it's even more terrifying than a single wolf king. "
The wolf king itself was not scary, but the wolf pack was!
Therefore, even though the Silver Moon Wolf King was a Class 4 Magical Beast, the value of its carcass was comparable to a Class 5 Magical Beast!
"I'm preparing to enter the Mountain Range of Desolation," Dongbo Xue Ying said.
"Don't —"
"Too risky!"
Tong San and Zong Ling were shocked.
What kind of place was the Desolate Mountain Range?
It was the largest mountain range in the entire world, and it connected four provinces! Countless magical beasts and even extraordinary life forms lived within it. Generation after generation, the entire human empire had not been able to completely eliminate this huge threat. In fact, the Empire's main defense area was around the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts! The army often carried out large-scale killings on the outskirts of the mountain range, and large batches of low-grade magical beast meat could only be bought outside.
Therefore, the first, second, and third grade Magical Beast meat was relatively cheap. But from the fourth level onwards, it suddenly increased explosively. This was because a Class 4 Magical Beast was not something that an ordinary army could hunt. It needed to be the elite of the elite.
"Even the army is mobilized on a large scale, and the area they sweep is only the outermost three thousand li." Zong Ling also said, "Even Silver Moon Knights and Legend Knights are unwilling to enter the Mountain Range of Desolation … There isn't much to gain in the outer three thousand miles. If you go deeper, you might encounter some terrifying magical beasts at any time!"
"That's right, Snow Eagle." Tong San also said, "When Master and I ventured into the Mountain Range of Desolation, we never thought of going into the Mountain Range of Desolation! Just like you, you want to hunt down a fourth rank magical beast, but it's impossible for you to encounter a fourth rank magical beast so coincidentally. Perhaps you'll encounter a fifth rank or even a sixth rank magical beast! Then you'll be dead! "
They were all very anxious.
The Mountain Range of Desolation?
That was the ultimate nest of the great enemy of mankind, the 'Magical Beasts'! If they went in, they would really be gambling with their lives.
"You didn't hear me out." Dongbo Xue Ying laughed, "I'm preparing to enter the Mountain Range of Desolation, but I'm only going to the outermost three thousand li. Hunting magical beasts is secondary, the most important thing is to hunt down the Bent Blade Union!"
"Bent Blade Union?" Zong Ling and Tong San's eyes lit up.
In the outer three thousand li, because the army frequently swept through, the stronger magical beasts had long since retreated. Generally, only a large number of low-level magical beasts remained. Every time they swept through, it was actually a large scale battle between the army and the low-level magical beasts … The low-level magical beasts were endless. Every time they swept through a group, there would always be more low-level magical beasts coming out from the depths of the Mountain Range of Desolation.
In the outer three thousand li, too many human soldiers had fallen, but it also allowed the army to hone many strong warriors.
"Bent Blade Union? These bandits are hidden in the Mountain Range of Desolation. They don't dare to go too deep, so they only stay in the outermost three thousand li. " Zong Ling lightly nodded, "Moreover, the leader of the Bent Blade Union, Ge Bin, is a Meteor Knight. He often plunders, so he must have a lot of treasures. Moreover, the entire bandit nest probably has even more treasures, so it won't be easy to attack. "
"The enemy is in the light while I'm in the dark. Uncle Zong, how do you think my strength compares to Ge Bin's?" Dongbo Xue Ying asked.
"You are much stronger than him. I can still hold on for a while if I fight with him, but if I fight with you … if you really use your full strength, I won't be able to hold on." Zong Ling laughed bitterly.
Normally, Dongbo Xue Ying would reach the peak of a Meteor Knight.
When he explodes, his strength would climb to the Silver Moon Knight level!
His spear skills were close to that of a Spear Master, and his dou qi circulation technique was taught to him by the 'Mysterious Ice Knight' Gu Yuanhan!
"Your only weakness is that you haven't seen enough blood." Zong Ling said, "Although some of the criminals in our territory were executed by you, your life and death experience is still too little. In the end, sparring with us is just sparring."
"I understand. Therefore, in this trip to the Mountain Range of Desolation … in the process of searching for the Bent Blade Union's nest, we will definitely meet many magical beasts, so we can train ourselves." Dongbo Xue Ying said.
"It won't be easy to find the Bent Blade Union's nest."
Zong Ling was a little worried, "In the process, we will meet magical beasts time and time again … and there's even a small chance that we will meet some powerful magical beasts."
Although in the outermost three thousand li, there would be Transcendents! Rank six magical beasts were unlikely to appear. But rank five and rank four magical beasts … would occasionally appear. Once the army swept through, they would see that the situation was not good and would retreat. But for a person like Dongbo Xue Ying, who was adventuring, these powerful magical beasts could ambush and kill him.
"My luck shouldn't be that bad." Dongbo Xue Ying said, "Moreover, my spear techniques are quite good at defense, so I have the confidence to stay alive."
"Moreover, if we don't go to the Mountain Range of Desolation … how are we going to earn fifty thousand gold coins?" Dongbo Xue Ying shook his head.
Don't want to take risks?
It was very safe for a Meteor Knight to be a guest guard for a big family, but their annual salary was only three to five thousand gold coins. Want to earn tens of thousands of gold coins? That was a huge risk.
"Alright." Zong Ling said, "I'll go with you. I've been to the outermost three thousand li of the Mountain Range of Desolation a few times."
"Uncle Zong, you've been there before?" Dongbo Xue Ying was shocked.
"Yes, after your parents bought the Snow Eagle Territory, I trained alone and went to the outermost area of the Mountain Range of Desolation to train myself." Zong Ling, as a member of the Serpent Race's royal family, had his own pride. He had always wanted to break through the Heaven Rank and step into the Meteor Realm.
"When you go to the Mountain Range of Desolation, listen to your Uncle Zong and don't be careless." Tong San reminded.
… …
After five days of preparation, in the morning, Dongbo Xue Ying and Zong Ling set off with a team of a hundred soldiers.
The castle's drawbridge had already been lowered.
"Brother, come back early." Qing Shi ran to the edge of the mountain and shouted. Tong San stood beside him.
"Qing Shi, don't worry. Be obedient and listen to Uncle Tong's words." Xue Ying, who was already far away, replied.
"I know."
Qing Shi nodded his head, but his heart was filled with reluctance.
Ever since he was young, he hadn't been separated from his brother for too long. This time, his brother was going out for ten days to half a month.
What he didn't know was that Dongbo Xue Ying was going out to earn his' school fees'.
*****
Dongbo Xue Ying and his team of cavalrymen traveled with ease. In the evening, they arrived at the edge of the Mountain Range of Desolation, which was nine hundred li away.
The cavalrymen began to set up camp.
They started to cook rice.
"Old Yang."
Zong Ling and Dongbo Xue Ying were together with a bearded man. This man was called Yang Cheng. He was an Earth Rank Knight and was loyal to the Dongbo Clan. He was also the captain of this team of a hundred soldiers.
Zong Ling said, "Tomorrow morning, the Lord and I will enter the mountain range. I will leave this place to you."
"Sir Zong Ling, Lord, please be at ease. I will definitely handle this small matter properly. Lord, you must be careful." Yang Cheng said worriedly, "When I was in the army, I had swept through the outer regions of the Mountain Range of Desolation. But that was when the entire army was mobilized. I had never gone out alone. Moreover, the magical beasts that covered the sky and covered the earth charged fearlessly … … Out of the ten brothers who joined the army with me, only three or four were able to retire safely. The rest almost all died in the Mountain Range of Desolation. "
Dongbo Xue Ying nodded.
The Mountain Range of Desolation … … was indeed a forbidden area. Those who dared to enter the outer regions were the army and some bandits. As for the deeper regions, there were even fewer who dared to enter.
… …
Early the next morning, the sky was just beginning to brighten.
Carrying the weapon box, Dongbo Xue Ying and Zong Ling quietly entered the Mountain Range of Desolation on foot. In the Mountain Range of Desolation, there was no way to ride a horse. Moreover, if the horse made any noise, it might attract some terrifying magical beasts.
"Lord, you must be careful." Captain Yang Cheng and the other soldiers looked at the black-clothed youngster and the silver-haired snakeman worriedly as they left. They disappeared into the distant forest of the Mountain Range of Desolation, never to be seen again.
