Chapter 406: Sirius Claw
Upon hearing Ye Changsheng's words, Old Monster Feng and Xiang Zhili couldn't help but reveal a look of confusion on their faces.
"Is that old devil still on mission?" Xiang Zhili frowned and asked doubtfully.
Hearing this, Old Monster Feng shook his head repeatedly: "It shouldn't be. I saw this old demon when he went out on a mission last time. Calculating the time, he should be finishing this mission in the next few days and starting his half-year rest period!"
Xiang Zhili's expression became more serious after hearing this, as if he had thought of something, and he said with a somewhat unpleasant look on his face:
"Brother Feng, now that you mention it, I remember that I haven't seen him since the last time he went out on a mission!"
When Old Monster Feng heard this, his expression changed and he suddenly said in a lost voice: "Could this old demon have died while carrying out his mission?"
Xiang Zhili's eyes twitched, and he said slowly: "It's not impossible. Didn't the two of us also encounter several crises that almost killed us?"
"In Tianyuan City, you will encounter various dangers sooner or later. When Ye went out to carry out that mission before, most of his men were lost!" Ye Changsheng echoed, looking deeply emotional.
The three of them looked at each other, stood up, and flew outside.
After flying to a giant green tower and asking around, I found out that Hu Laomo had indeed died in the last mission.
His team was also completely wiped out and no one escaped.
"Could it be that they encountered an alien race at the Refinement Void level?" Xiang Zhili said with a frown.
“It’s hard to say. Under normal circumstances, even in a dangerous place like the Fuli Swamp, there are almost no alien races at the Refining Void level. After all, this level of strength is already considered the top of each race. Once one is discovered, Tianyuan City will immediately hunt him down with all their might!”
"But we can't guarantee that one or two aliens from the Void Refining Race will occasionally appear in these places and cause our Qingming Guards to suffer serious losses. This kind of thing is not without precedent!" Old Monster Feng said lightly.
"Forget it. From now on, the three of us should be . No matter whether they are aliens at the Void Refinement level or not, we still have to patrol!" Ye Changsheng said lightly.
Xiang Zhili and Feng Laoguai nodded silently after hearing what happened. After this happened, the three of them had no intention of continuing the party, so they dispersed one after another.
Ye Changsheng went to the market again and met Bing Feng. After the two of them had a conversation, he returned to his cave.
In this way, after several years, Ye Changsheng's hundred-year recuperation period finally ended, and his team reorganized and began to carry out the mission.
This time, there were many new faces, and the team members were expanded to ten people.
"Fairy Qianyu has also broken through to the middle stage, congratulations!" Ye Changsheng happened to meet Xu Qianyu on the way to the giant green tower. After taking a look at her, he smiled and said.
After Xu Qianyu took a look at Ye Changsheng, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she said quickly: "How can my progress in cultivation compare with that of the seniors!"
"Hahaha, you are too modest. As far as I know, you are less than 300 years old?" Ye Changsheng said with a laugh.
"I am two hundred and twenty years old now!" Xu Qianyu blinked her beautiful eyes and said her age.
"Oh? Just over two hundred years old? This aptitude is indeed extraordinary!" Ye Changsheng said thoughtfully after looking at the other party's star-like eyes for a few times.
Although it is indeed much easier for cultivators in the spiritual world to practice than cultivators in the human world, there are even cultivators who are three to five hundred years old and have reached the state of spiritual enlightenment.
But Xu Qianyu was in the Nascent Soul stage when she was about a hundred years old, and she had cultivated to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul when she was over two hundred years old. This talent is indeed rare.
“It shouldn’t be a problem for the fairy to break through to the God Transformation stage in the future. If she’s lucky, she might even have a chance to advance to the Great Dao of Refining Void!” Ye Changsheng said.
"Thank you for the compliment, senior!" Xu Qianyu said quickly.
Ye Changsheng smiled slightly when he heard this, and without saying much, he continued to fly forward.
Seeing this, Xu Qianyu hurriedly followed. This time, not only did her cultivation level break through, she also used the thousand-year-old black jade that Ye Changsheng gave her to re-refine several magic weapons, greatly increasing her strength.
It is no longer the same as when I first joined Tianyuan City.
However, even though her cultivation level had increased dramatically, she still felt that she could not see through her captain, who seemed to be becoming more and more unfathomable.
This made Xu Qianyu even more curious. She really wanted to know what the upper limit of her captain's current strength was.
After flying into the office of Team C34, Ye Changsheng got to know several new teammates, and then everyone received their tasks.
This time, they were patrolling a place called Dark Moon Forest, which was still a level one danger zone.
Ye Changsheng announced the content of the mission with an expressionless face, and then, amid the relaxed looks of the old team members and the nervous looks of the new team members, the team set off.
The old team members who have been carrying out missions with Ye Changsheng for several years know very well that as long as they don't carry out such dangerous missions like last time, this kind of patrol mission will be easy for Ye Changsheng.
Under his protection, everyone will basically not encounter any life-threatening dangers, but may even gain a lot of benefits.
A girl like Xu Qianyu, didn't she quickly break through to the middle stage of Nascent Soul by taking advantage of the benefits she gained from completing various tasks in those years?
As long as he and others follow Ye Changsheng safely, one day, they might get the opportunity to break through the bottleneck.
Following the fixed patrol route, Ye Changsheng and others walked in the Dark Moon Forest for a month, and finally one day they came to a small hill.
When they saw this small hill, everyone in Ye Changsheng's team showed a look of relief on their faces.
This is the last stop of this patrol mission. As long as we can safely get through the next section of the journey, we can complete this mission.
After Ye Changsheng looked around, he said to everyone around him: "Let's rest here for a day, and then set off again!"
All the team members nodded, walked up the hill, sat down cross-legged and recovered their magic power.
Ye Changsheng also walked to an open space, sat down cross-legged, took out an ancient book, and began to read it with relish.
This is a secret book of talismans, which Ye Changsheng bought at an auction in Tianyuan City. It is said to be a book on the true explanation of talismans left behind by Emperor Tianmiao Linghuang in his early years.
Of course, no one knows whether it is the work of Emperor Tianmiao Linghuang, but the content of this ancient book is indeed quite profound and extraordinary. Ye Changsheng has been comprehending this thing for a long time.
He had not spent much time on making talismans before. It was not until Mulan Shengqin comprehended the Taiyi Huaqing Talisman from the fragments of the Golden Palace Jade Book that he began to seriously explore this field.
The notes from the founder of the Tianfu Sect obtained from the Blood Forbidden Land helped him a lot, allowing him to make rapid progress in the field of talismans. In just a few decades, he had achieved deep attainments.
Later, after arriving in the spiritual world, he gained a deeper understanding of the field of talismans, and thus created the Taiyi Huaqing Talisman.
After comprehending this talisman, Ye Changsheng did not stop there. After all, the Taiyi Huaqing Talisman was only one of the four talismans in the Golden Que Jade Book.
He also needs to comprehend several other talismans and make them.
This required him to have a deeper attainment in the art of talismans, so Ye Changsheng bought this book on talismans at an auction and began to read it.
Although it has not been long since he got this item, Ye Changsheng has already gained a lot from it.
Just as he was watching with great interest, suddenly a fragrant breeze blew towards him.
Xu Qianyu hugged her knees and sat next to him. She smiled and said softly, "Captain, during this short break, you have never forgotten to comprehend the Dao. No wonder you have such strong cultivation skills today!"
"Perhaps the captain will be able to be compared with our Xu family's ancestors in the future!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Changsheng closed the book, a gentle smile appeared on his face, and he said, "How many people in this world can compare to a genius like your ancestor?"
"Fairy, you still think too highly of me! But then again, the disappearance of your ancestor is also a major unsolved case among the human race!"
Xu Qianyu sighed when she heard this and said, "Captain's description of this 'unsolved case' is really too polite. There is no unsolved case at all. In fact, we in the Xu family know it very well. Our ancestors are probably like those people who traveled to the wilderness and disappeared from the scene. I'm afraid they have perished!"
"What was the level of cultivation of Fairy Bingpo before she left the Xu family?" Ye Changsheng suddenly asked.
Xu Qianyu shook her head upon hearing this: "There are very few records about this matter in the clan, and I have no way of knowing it!"
Ye Changsheng looked at her, especially at her star-like eyes, where he stayed for a long time.
In the human world, he had seen the eyes of the Ice Soul Fairy, and he always felt that Xu Qianyu's eyes were indeed somewhat similar to the Ice Soul Fairy's eyes.
In fact, he was not the only one who felt this way, even Bing Feng had the same opinion.
She even suspected that this Xu Qianyu was the Ice Soul Fairy's sister or something like that.
"This girl... could it be that she has regressed to her ancestral state?"
Ye Changsheng had all kinds of speculations about Xu Qianyu in his heart, but with a warm smile on his face, he said with a hint of encouragement:
"Since Fairy Bingpo has disappeared, why not let Fairy Qianyu take over from Fairy Bingpo and support the Xu family!"
Upon hearing his words, Xu Qianyu was stunned, and then immediately said, "Captain, you are joking. How can Qianyu compare with our ancestors?"
"Haha, how can you be sure that you can't reach the same level as your ancestors? People should always have dreams. Everything is possible in this world!" Ye Changsheng said meaningfully.
Upon hearing this, Xu Qianyu shook her head repeatedly and a wry smile appeared on her face. When she was about to say something, she saw Ye Changsheng's expression suddenly change.
The book in his hand disappeared in the blink of an eye, and was replaced by a small black flag. He stood up, looked towards the dense forest in the distance, and shouted coldly: "Who is it?!"
Upon hearing his words, the ten team members immediately became alert, stood up and took out their magic weapons.
In this forest, their spiritual consciousness was suppressed, and they were unable to explore too far, nor could they find the abnormality that Ye Changsheng had discovered.
But they knew that the sharpness of their captain's spiritual awareness was far beyond that of ordinary psychic cultivators.
Since he discovered the problem, there must be something wrong here, so everyone became alert.
Ye Changsheng took out the strange spirit disk and took a look at it, but there was no response on it.
"Not an alien race? Or is it an alien race that has not been captured by the Alien Spirit Disk?" Ye Changsheng had guesses in his mind.
"Hehehe!" A cold laugh came from the dense forest in the distance.
"Your spiritual sense is sharp enough to have discovered my location from such a long distance. I have to say I admire you. It seems your spiritual sense is no less than mine!"
After the laughter died down, an old voice sounded, slightly hoarse and filled with undisguised malice.
The moment the words fell, a green light suddenly shot out from the dense forest at an extremely fast speed, carrying a chilling momentum, as if the green light could pierce through everything.
The moment he saw the green light, Ye Changsheng's heart trembled and he quickly waved the Black Wind Flag. A thick column of wind appeared out of thin air, moved quickly over and hit the green light.
"boom!"
The green light rotated and dispersed the black wind column, and shot over with its ferocious momentum without any reduction. When it got closer, it was discovered that there was actually a claw emitting a metallic luster in the green light.
As if it was made of some green metal, the green claws exuded a bloodthirsty murderous intent.
Ye Changsheng snorted coldly and slapped his forehead. A dark hill appeared above his head. At the same time, he rubbed his hands together, and a gray light flew out and hit the green light.
Suddenly, the flying speed of the claw in the green light slowed down, as if it encountered some delay.
At this moment, the dark hill suddenly became dozens of feet high and smashed down heavily, hitting the green claw.
“KANG!”
A sound like hammering iron was heard, and under the heavy blow of Yuancishan, the green claw was knocked away and flew back into the dense forest.
"Sirly Wolf Claw?!" The moment Xu Qianyu saw the green claw, she screamed in surprise.
"Captain, be careful, this magic treasure comes in pairs!"
As soon as she finished her words, a green afterimage rushed over from the other side and arrived in front of them in the blink of an eye.
Under this overwhelming momentum, Xu Qianyu and other Nascent Soul cultivators did not face it head-on. They were merely lightly brushed by the momentum carried by the green afterlight, and then they vomited blood and flew backwards.
Ye Changsheng's expression remained unchanged. He waved his hand and a gray light was scattered, blocking in front of himself. At the same time, Yuanci Mountain turned quickly and rushed towards the green light.
Under the obstruction of the Yuan magnetic divine light, the green light emitted from the wolf's claw became disordered, as if it could not remain stable, and its speed slowed down accordingly.
Then, Yuanci Mountain suddenly collided and knocked the wolf claw away.
"Hehe, this little girl has sharp eyes. She recognized the magic treasure in my hand at the first sight!" A cold laugh was heard in the dense forest.
