Chapter 158 Dark Forest

Although the blacksmith shop was closed, the waves it had stirred up in Tiandao City had just begun.

In a restaurant in Tiandao City, the disciples of two sects had an argument and fought each other. The officers and soldiers of the City Guard House quickly arrived at the scene to control the situation: "You dare to fight in Tiandao City, arrest them all!"

The two sects stopped fighting and said arrogantly: "The City Guard House has a long reach? They dare to intervene in the affairs of the sects!"

Soon after, the immortal ropes were used, and the disciples of the two sects were tied up like kebabs. They were dragged back to the City Guard House crying and locked up in the prison.

The City Guard House struck hard and specially rectified the chaos in the sects. The City Guard House could be seen everywhere in Tiandao City.

Many elders of the sects relied on their high cultivation to go to the City Guard House to ask for people. They were arrested one by one, and the prison of the City Guard House became more and more full.

"What's the matter with that pitch-black iron chain? If I hadn't escaped quickly last time, I would have been trapped!" A certain sect's fusion realm elder was still in fear.

"My cousin who works in the city guard's office said that it was the immortal binding rope made by Zhang Ye, and the Tianbing Patriarch was tied up."

"Fuck, Zhang Ye really hurt people!"

For this reason, a group of cultivators gathered together and rushed to the blacksmith shop in a mighty manner. Since the immortal binding rope was made by Zhang Ye, Zhang Ye must know how to break it. If Zhang Ye refused to tell him, he would be beaten up!

But when Zhang Ye went out, the monks were turned away. They couldn't swallow this breath in their hearts, so they started to smash the blacksmith shop, but the blacksmith shop was not so easy to break. Before the commotion lasted long, hundreds of soldiers from the City Guard House came and said, "How dare you gather a crowd to make trouble? Arrest them!"

For a while, the three hundred sects in Tiandao City were in a panic, but the people all applauded. These lawless Tiandao sects were finally governed.

The status of the major sects was much worse than before, and they certainly couldn't accept it, especially those sects with industries in Tiandao City. They united and wanted to rely on their numbers to force the City Guard House to compromise.

But before they could make waves, a group called the "Tiandao City Alliance" surfaced. The alliance was formed by the major merchants and forces of non-sect nature in Tiandao City. There were many masters who assisted the City Guard House and directly suppressed those Tiandao sects.

At this point, Tiandao City completely changed...

Eighty thousand miles south of Tiandao City, there is a naturally formed canyon pass. Outside the canyon is the Shiwan Mountains where ferocious beasts reside. Once you pass this pass, life and death are entirely up to fate. Therefore, this pass is called Ghost Gate, the most dangerous place in the Eastern Region, without a doubt.

But inside Ghost Gate, there is a group of mercenary monks who hunt ferocious beasts for a living all year round, and many businesses also buy animal skins and crystals here. Over time, Ghost Gate has become extremely prosperous.

A Taoist with two small mustaches came to Ghost Gate. When he was sighing about the local customs and customs here, a group of people gathered around him.

"Do you want the beast whip that just came back from hunting? I guarantee you will regain your strength!"

"The latest map of the Shiwan Mountains, a must-have for hunting beasts!"

"Shangxian, do you want to stay? The environment is good, hot water is available all day, and there is a little sister..."

"No need." The Taoist is exactly Zhang Ye in disguise. The three hundred sects of the Heavenly Dao are looking for him. Although Ghost Gate is located in a remote area, it is inevitable that someone will recognize him. It is better to be careful than to be safe.

Zhang Ye revealed a trace of the power of the Jindan realm, and these soliciting monks retreated wisely and did not dare to entangle. By the way, Zhang Ye hid his cultivation to the middle stage of the Jindan realm, also to avoid attracting attention.

Not long after, Zhang Ye came to the employment center of Guimenguan, where tasks were issued and mercenaries completed the bounty. Zhang Ye came here to hire a guide. After all, the Ten Thousand Mountains were too complicated. There were not only dangerous beasts, but also guides.

Zhang Ye entered it and thought that there would be staff responsible for issuing tasks and recruiting personnel. He never thought that what to do was entirely up to the employer.

"Catch the cub of the red flame beast alive, fifty top-grade spirit stones!" A wealthy boss shouted from a high place, and the mercenaries immediately surrounded him.

"One beast core of the ancient relic species, thirty top-grade spirit stones!" Someone else issued a task, but no one took the order for this task. The person who issued the task kept raising the price to the top-grade spirit stones before the mercenary group took the job.

Zhang Ye did not immediately issue the task to find a guide, but learned from experience and estimated the market. Even if Zhang Ye had a few money, he was unwilling to be slaughtered.

After listening for a while, Zhang Ye roughly knew the bounty quotes for various tasks, and also learned some professional knowledge about fierce beasts.

For example, fierce beasts have low IQs, unlike human cultivators who can acquire various abilities through learning. Their strength is in their blood and is determined by nature.

Although fierce beasts and humans have different cultivation systems, humans still divide the strength of fierce beasts according to the realm of cultivators, such as Yuanying-level fierce beasts, Huashen-level fierce beasts, etc. In addition, people divide fierce beasts into three major categories according to the strength and longevity of their bloodline power, ordinary fierce beasts, ancient relics, and ancient wild species. Under the same realm, high-race fierce beasts can crush low-race fierce beasts.

At this moment, Zhang Ye also imitated others and shouted: "Hire a guide, a piece of top-grade spirit stone!"

The guide only needs to lead the way, and Zhang Ye's offer is already good.

There were few responses. After all, most of the people present were mercenary groups, and they were unwilling to move a piece of top-grade spirit stone, and the individuals willing to be guides had already been invited away.

Zhang Ye called out several times, but no one responded. At this moment, a fat man stepped forward and said, "Master Dao, please stop calling out. I am the only guide left. If you pay me two high-quality spirit stones, I will lead the way for you."

The guide asked for two high-grade spiritual stones, clearly rip-off him, but Zhang Ye couldn't find any other guide for a while, so he agreed. When he was about to pay, a group of monks in sect uniforms rushed over in a hurry. , handed two high-grade spiritual stones into the hands of the fat man: "Now you will be our guide and enter the Hundred Thousand Mountains immediately!"

The fat man looked embarrassed and said: "I have agreed to be this Taoist master's guide..."

Zhang Ye felt that the fat man was quite principled, and was about to praise him, but the fat man continued: "Let's do this, the one with the highest price will get it!"

Zhang Ye almost cursed others. He had always played tricks on others like this. He never thought that it would be his turn. It was a cycle of nature that always worked.

Before Zhang Ye said anything, the monk from the sect looked at Zhang Ye and said, "Three high-grade spiritual stones!"

The fat man's eyes were ecstatic, and he immediately encouraged Zhang Ye: "Master Tao, they have offered three high-grade spiritual stones!"

Although Zhang Ye didn't want to be taken advantage of, his time was more valuable, so he said directly: "Ten high-grade spiritual stones!"

One high-grade spiritual stone is equal to 10,000 low-grade spiritual stones. After hearing Zhang Ye's quotation of ten high-grade spiritual stones, the monks from the sect obviously hesitated and were a little reluctant to part with it.

The fat man flattered Zhang Ye a few times and was about to leave with Zhang Ye. The leader of the sect monks gritted his teeth and took out a flying sword: "Although this is only a high-grade flying sword, it is an early version of Master Zhang's flying sword." Made in time!”

"What? The flying sword made by Master Zhang!" Upon hearing this, the nearby monks came over and wanted to see it with their own eyes.

The knowledgeable monk recognized the mark on the sword at a glance: "Zhang Ye is so handsome, yes, this is undoubtedly a genuine product from Master Zhang!"

"Master Zhang's works are astonishing. I never expected to see them in person in a place like Guimenguan. I'm so lucky!"

Listening to everyone's admiration, the sect monk was very proud. He glanced at Zhang Ye and found that Zhang Ye was stunned with fright. He was even more proud of himself. What are you trying to argue with me for?

"Fat man, be our guide, this flying sword is yours." The monk from the sect said with great pride.

Many small groups became jealous and asked tentatively: "Shangxian, how about I be your guide?"

The fat guide immediately took the flying sword and put it into the Qiankun bag as if he was afraid that others would snatch it. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The Immortal wants me to be your guide. Why are you joining in the fun!"

Immediately, the fat man apologized to Zhang Ye: "Master Tao, I hope you can find a better guide..."

Zhang Ye was stunned before, not that he was scared, but because someone was showing off the flying sword he made in front of him, and he was a little speechless.

Zhang Ye pondered for a moment, then took out a flying sword: "Be my guide, and I'll give you this sword."

"Hmph, it doesn't matter how good your sword is, my flying sword was made by Master Zhang!" The sect monk held his head high.

The fat man didn't even look at Zhang Ye's sword, and politely refused: "Master Tao, although your flying sword is good, I have already agreed to it..."

But at this moment, someone recognized Zhang Ye's sword and exclaimed: "The best magical weapon? Zhang Ye is so handsome? Oops! Another work of Master Zhang!"

Although the sword that the sect monk took out earlier was the work of Master Zhang, it was only a high-grade magical weapon. The sword that Zhang Ye took out now was a top-grade magical weapon, equivalent to a low-grade spiritual weapon. The whole audience was shocked. !

Although a top-grade magic weapon is inexplicably precious to others, to Zhang Ye, a top-grade magic weapon is not as valuable as a low-grade spiritual stone. After all, he can set the price by himself, and the cost is zero. If he gives it away, he will give it away.

The fat guide was startled, and took a closer look at the "Zhang Ye is so handsome" mark on the sword. He felt the power of the top-notch magic weapon, and felt short of breath and about to have a heart attack. He took out the high-grade flying sword from the Qiankun bag and returned it to the monks of the sect as if throwing away garbage. He said flatteringly to Zhang Ye: "Although I promised you, as long as you say a word, I can go up to the sword mountain and get down to the oil pan. It’s okay to say no…”

"Okay, take me into the dark forest. This flying sword is yours." The fat man had no principles and was only interested in profit. Zhang Ye only made a deal with him and did not take the fat man's words of loyalty to heart.

The side mission requires Zhang Ye to kill a thousand Void-level ferocious beasts. After data analysis, only in the dark forest can there be enough numbers to complete the mission.

However, as soon as the words "Dark Forest" were spoken, the excitement in the whole place suddenly became silent, and the fat man's hand that was about to receive the best flying sword froze in the air.

The Dark Forest almost reaches the deepest part of the Hundred Thousand Mountains. The ferocious beasts there are at least at the Void Refining level. From time to time, there are also God-transforming and Fusion-level ferocious beasts that appear. It is called the mercenary forbidden area.

The fat man was just a foundation-building monk and did not dare to take Zhang Ye there, but he was reluctant to let go of the flying sword and asked painfully: "Master Tao, are you kidding me?"

Zhang Ye didn't know what the dark forest meant to the people behind the gate of hell, so he said categorically: "Why should I joke?"

The fat man sighed helplessly and chased after the previous sect team: "Exalted Immortal, please stay. I will leave with a piece of high-grade spiritual stone!"
