Starting From Zero

Chapter 2 Heavenly Mission

I walked in front of everyone and opened the door to the reception room first. "Why did Erlang Zhenjun come to Essinger today?"

"Who are you?" Erlang Zhenjun looked me up and down. "Are you a relative of Ziri?"

"Really?" I nodded. Anyway, he couldn't explain it clearly, so he just thought it was true. "I'm Yin Yue, the deputy commander of the guild. Ziri is currently entangled in some troubles and can't see guests for the time being. If you have anything, you can tell me first." It feels really awkward to say your name like someone else. .

"Is it something important?" Erlang Zhenjun asked worriedly. "How long will it take him to finish the urgent matter at hand? If it is not a very urgent matter, I suggest you find him directly. I have more important problems here."

"I think you misunderstood what I meant. Ziri is not dealing with something, but is in trouble. In fact, we also hope that he can get out of it quickly, but we can't help with this kind of thing."

"Trouble? Can you take me to have a look? Maybe I can help." Erlang Zhenjun said it very sincerely, but I don't know if he is doing it for our friendship or because he really can't delay it because of the matter at hand.

I thought for a second and then decided to take him to have a look. He is not our enemy anyway. Erlang Zhenjun followed us to the auspicious and comfortable home. The big silkworm cocoon has been moved here. The lucky attributes of the two little guys can help me tide over the difficulties. If there is a probability calculation in the chrysalis stage, with them Now, the results definitely won't be too bad.

Erlang Zhenjun entered the room and looked around, then focused on the huge cocoon. He pointed at the big silkworm cocoon and looked at me in surprise.

"Don't doubt it, you guessed it right, Zi Ri is here."

"Is Ziri a Zerg?" Erlang Zhenjun asked in disbelief.

"How do you say this?" I thought for a while and said: "It should be said that this is a reward from the Zerg. But before evolution, a pupation period must go through. We don't know how long it will take to complete this evolution, so Ziri can't discuss anything with you for the time being. If you really have something urgent, you can tell me first. Now I have full authority to preside over everything in the guild on behalf of Ziri."

Erlang Zhenjun thought about it and said, "I am indeed very anxious about something, but I'm afraid no one else except Ziri can be of much help."

"What exactly is going on? How do you know we can't help you if you don't tell us?"

Lord Erlang nodded and said: "Okay then. Here's the thing. Do you know that a large number of demons ran out of the Qiankun gourd that was damaged last time?"

"Zi Ri has told me everything." I nodded to show that I knew.

"A few days ago, a mountain patrol god discovered the demonic energy, and the aura was quite huge. These monsters seem to be gathering, and they may be planning something. The immortal aura of us gods is too obvious, and no matter how stupid the demons are, they will know ours. Identity. So...!"

"So you want me to go check it out for you, right?"

"I don't want you to go." Erlang Zhenjun corrected: "I hope Ziri will go, but unfortunately it seems impossible now."

I'm not used to always pretending to be someone I'm not, and I accidentally said the wrong thing. Fortunately, Erlang Zhenjun didn't find anything wrong. "There are many masters in our guild. We can handle this matter for you. What do you think?"

"Since Zi Ri can't act now, this is the only way." Zhenjun Erlang took out a piece of jade and handed it to me: "This is the jade stone for communication. Place it in your guild. If you find anything, just tap the jade stone three times. .We will come here to meet you."

I took the jade and handed it to the rose. "Please rest assured, Zhenjun, we will complete the task as soon as possible. But...!"

Before I could finish, Zhenjun Erlang said first, "You are indeed a relative of Ziri, and even have similar personalities. Don't worry, Heaven will not let you work in vain, and you will be rewarded heavily after you are done."

"Haha. Zhenjun was joking. Actually, I just wanted to ask about the specific location where the evil spirit was found. But since Heavenly Court is so generous, we don't want to disgrace Heavenly Court, so I'll thank you in advance." Damn, gods are indeed all gods. Slippery.

Erlang Zhenjun smiled and clasped his fists at me: "Then I'll say goodbye first."

"Send it to Zhenjun."

After Erlang Zhenjun left Isengard, I finally breathed a sigh of relief. Rose came over and asked, "You really know how to rip off people!"

"This kind of rich man will get nothing if he doesn't give you anything. But I really can't tell what the demon world's plans are. I have to go and see for myself."

Eagle pointed at my body in surprise: "Is that how you're going?"

"I don't want to! But what can I do? Ziri's body is still in the cocoon, so we can only use this body."

"What if monsters attack you?" Hongyue asked.

"I don't know, I can only give it a try. Anyway, this trumpet is only level 107, so it doesn't matter if it fails once."

"Then don't you bring some equipment?"

I pointed to the big cocoon over there: "Everything is sealed inside. What do you want me to bring?"

"Then there's no way."

Rose asked: "How about I go with you?"

Seeing that everyone wanted to go with me after hearing what Rose said, I quickly reached out to stop them: "If the monsters admit my existence, then they don't need your help. If they don't admit it, it won't matter if you all go with me." How useful.”

Rose nodded: "Then be careful."

Ah Wei said jokingly from the side: "If you encounter a monster like a pervert, remember to stay away. The equipment you are wearing now can easily attract people to commit crimes."

"Don't 'force' me to use the Queen's Dragon Claw!"

After leaving Isengard, I went straight to the old site of Duling City, which has now become a monster nest. Last time, I let the monsters hide here to suppress the monsters with the help of the popularity of the city above. Now this place should become the monster headquarters.

After leaving the teleportation array, we first left the city and then walked to the cemetery outside the city. This is an urban cemetery. Most of the corpses in the city are buried here, so the scale is relatively large. Because most monsters don't like water very much, the entrance to the Duling has been changed to this cemetery. Keeping it under the moat is not an option.

There are no players on the road to the cemetery. That's not the leveling area. The monsters are very powerful and have low experience, and they don't produce many good things. So everyone is too lazy to go. It felt special to be walking alone on the road. The order suit on my body automatically changed into a robe form because of my mage profession. There is a golden magic tiara on the head, which can easily be mistaken for a girl's tiara if you don't pay attention. The half-cut breastplate hanging on the shoulders just reached the upper abdomen and disappeared. The mage's weak constitution caused the armor to automatically evolve into a short and thin shape. However, evolution has made the armor look a lot like women's equipment. If I had known I should have chosen a warrior. There is a wide golden belt around the waist. There is a circle of crystals hanging outside, which is a special treatment for senior members of the guild. Below the belt is a skirt like a miniskirt. The skirt armor is fine when worn on a warrior, but when paired with the white mage robe embroidered with red edges that I wear underneath, it feels like a skirt. The pair of angelic wings on the back are even more terrible, because the evil value has not been completely eliminated, and it is still pink.

The reason why Awei joked with me when we were in Essinger was because this outfit was really too feminine, but there was nothing I could do about it. After all, this appearance was too feminine, even if it wasn't a mage. The profession is probably also hardly considered that of a man. No. As soon as I reached the halfway point, I ran into a group of players coming from another path.

There are five people in this group, four men and one woman. Except for the woman who is a mage, the other four are all warriors. My appearance caused them to immediately turn their attention, and one of the tall warriors immediately walked over. "Excuse me, are you going to the city cemetery?"

I nodded but said nothing and didn't stop.

When he saw me nodding, he immediately said excitedly: "We are also going to the cemetery. Will you form a team with us? We have too few mages. Leveling up with multiple mages will be faster."

I shook my head: "I'm not here to practice. I will leave soon."

"Oh, that's it! Excuse me." The man stepped back politely, but the other male team members around him immediately laughed at him.

I walked in front. Five of them followed. As they approached the cemetery, the woman caught up with him. "Hello, my name is Flame Flying. Let's get to know each other."

"Silver Moon." I shook hands with her. This woman looks a bit like Hongyue, but not as beautiful as Hongyue. Wearing a red mage robe, he is obviously a very powerful flame mage.

"What are you doing in the cemetery alone?"

"secret."

Flame Flying took a look at me and knew that I didn't want to say anything, so she stepped back wisely. The few people behind started discussing with her. I ignored them and walked quickly to the cemetery. Although it was broad daylight, the entire cemetery was eerie. White mist filled the entire cemetery, making the light quite dim. It's super dangerous for me. Silver Moon's only specialty is charm, but undead creatures are immune to the mental system, and charm is ineffective against them.

Walking between the tombstones, I suddenly noticed a human-shaped black shadow shaking in the thick fog ahead. I took out my staff and leaned over carefully, but the black shadow suddenly disappeared. The sudden abnormal feeling behind me told me that it was standing behind me, but instead of looking back, I suddenly kicked back.

"Ouch!" The sudden scream made me turn around in surprise, only to see the player team just now standing behind me. One of them fell to the ground and rolled on the ground holding the most important part of the man.

"Sorry. So it's you!"

The guy on the ground endured the pain and sat up: "Wow. Miss, can't you be gentler? I just want to strike up a conversation, so I can't be so cruel, right?"

"I just saw a ghost. You guys appeared just then, and I thought you were it. Also, don't call me miss, I'm a man."

"Hahahaha! This is the funniest joke I've ever heard." The guy on the ground got up and said, "If the lady were a man, I would undergo gender reassignment surgery and become a woman."

The female mage said to him: "It would be better for you to undergo mutation surgery and become a pig."

"What is that?" A soldier discovered something was wrong.

I turned around and saw the black figure again. "That's what I was just saying."

"It's so scary." The female mage quickly hid behind the team members.

"Do you know how to dispel?" the big man asked me at the beginning.

I shook my head: "This kind of thing is not that troublesome." After saying that, I walked over under their shocked eyes. They watched in surprise as I walked up to the black figure and waved to them. They were still a little worried and slowly came closer, and finally got to my side.

At this time, I was standing next to a humanoid monster with a terrifying face and a blood-red body, waving to them. "What are you afraid of? It can't move anymore." To confirm what I said, I even slapped the monster a few times.

The soldiers came over fearfully. "He...he really can't move?"

I punched the monster hard: "Did you see it?"

The tall warrior swallowed his saliva and said, "Miss, you are really brave."

"Again, I'm a man. This thing is called an embalmed ghost corpse. It's a level 300 monster. It's not very powerful."

The female mage quickly stretched out her head and said, "But he is so scary." After saying that, she shrank back.

The tall soldier also said: "How did you stabilize it?"

I waved them to come behind the monster and pointed at the dagger stuck in the back of the monster's neck. "Just plug it in. It won't move until you pull it out."

"Then it just stands there for you to 'penetrate'?"

I put my finger into the ghost corpse's eye socket and turned it around: "See? It has no eyes. As long as you block your nose and don't breathe, it won't react. This thing is similar to a zombie. It chases Popular event.”

A relatively young-looking soldier said: "I would like to ask, do you work in a hospital?"

"No. Why do you ask?"

"I see that you are playing with the corpse like a mannequin. It seems that ordinary people can't stand it, right? I saw this guy's calf cramped, and it's still a little soft now."

The female mage also nodded desperately and said: "That's right! Living people are nothing, and I'm not afraid of skeletons. It's the ones that are a little bit rotten but not completely rotten that are the scariest. And this one is a bit mutated. Look at the growths on its back. The stab is coming."

"So you feel disgusted?" I knocked down the embalmed ghost corpse with a sweep of my feet, opened its jaw with a click, and stretched out a hand from its mouth. The five players next to him looked disgusted. I stretched half my arm in and finally 'touched' something hard, pinched it and pulled it out hard. It was a green crystal. As soon as it left the ghost corpse's mouth, the ghost corpse turned into a burst of black smoke and disappeared. "You're not afraid now, are you? Huh? Why are you vomiting?"

"Ugh~ I'm sure you've been a coroner before." The big soldier said as he vomited.

I stood up and said, "I own a restaurant and specialize in selling human meat buns."

The muscles on the face of the young warrior next to him were cramped: "Haha. What a bad joke!"

"Fenglong." As soon as I stretched out my hand, Fenglong appeared out of thin air and stood on my arm. "Put this away." I threw the green crystal to Fenglong. Fenglong caught the crystal and quickly disappeared.

"Your demon pet?" the female mage asked in surprise.

The soldier who was kicked by me said: "It's still a rare space system!"

I didn't answer, turned around and walked into the thick fog, and they quickly followed me. "Why are you following me?"

The pervert warrior said: "It's safer if we are together more."

"I don't need protection."

"We need it."

I smiled helplessly and shook my head. "It's up to you, but don't blame me if you die after a while. I'm going to find a group of very powerful things. I may not be a target. But you will definitely die."

"That's better than being scared to death."

"Why do you have to go to the cemetery to level up if you are so scared? Isn't there a ready-made leveling area in the forest?"

The young warrior said: "We are practicing the skill Corpse Poison Sword, and we must practice it in the cemetery."

I shook my head, turned around, and kept walking, still counting the tombstones in my mouth. "Three hundred and thirty-three, then turn left. There are three monuments apart. Haha, this is it." I kicked a tombstone hard, and the tombstone immediately moved back a long distance, a deep The secret passage with blue light was revealed.

"What is this?" The five people were all surprised and couldn't close their mouths.

"If you don't want to die, you'd better turn around and leave now, but if you want to follow, please keep it a secret for me."

"Of course." They nodded together.

I took the lead and walked down. When we all entered the secret passage, the tombstones above automatically came back to cover the entrance of the cave. This action made the five of them tremble again.

I kept counting as I walked down. Each step was a number, and when I reached three hundred I stopped. He reached out and pressed hard on the wall on the side. The wall sank down and then slid sideways.

"It turns out there is a secret passage!" the female mage said in surprise.

I explained as I walked inside: "The stairs are fake. If you continue to go down, you will pass through the illusion channel and enter the underworld. Don't expect to come out in the future."

As soon as we got into the wall, a sword was pressed against my neck. "I haven't seen such a beautiful creature in a long time. It will be very delicious."

The five guys turned around in fright and wanted to run away, but the door slammed shut. They all clung to the wall like frightened birds and did not dare to move.

Although I have a sword on my neck, I am much calmer than them. I said to the owner of the sword in the shadow in a commanding tone: "Go and notify the four guardians. Purple Sun is here."

"Who is Ziri?" The guy with the sword walked out of the darkness. This is a half-human, half-mouse monster.

Before I could answer, the guy was knocked down by a fist that suddenly appeared, and a man with red pupils walked out. "Are you the envoy of the Purple Sun Benefactor?"

"That's right. Are the four guardians here?"

"Protector Shuixu is here. The other three have gone out to do business."

"Then take me to see him. I have something urgent to ask him."

"Please follow me." This monster can already take the form of a human, showing that he is not a low-level member. He turned around and said to the rat who had just been knocked down: "If you ever neglect your benefactor's envoy again, I will beat you back to your original form."

The little demon nodded violently in fear and huddled aside, daring not to move. The five people behind saw this situation and quickly followed them.

I turned around and said to the rat spirit that was beaten just now: "Take five of them up to kill some zombies or something, don't let them get hurt, you know?" After that, I said to the five people: "He will follow you. Don’t worry, just go up and level up. I have other things to do, so I won’t accompany you.”

I turned around and followed this humanoid monster all the way through the long passage into Duling City. I asked the monster in front of me in surprise. "Why are there so few people? Where has everyone gone?"

"This... you'd better ask after seeing Protector Shuixu."

I saw that he seemed a little embarrassed, so I nodded and didn't ask any further questions. Following him, we soon arrived at the original Governor-General of the Spirits, which now became the command center of the monsters. After waiting in the reception room for a short while, Shuixu arrived. He looked at me first and then asked, "Have we met before?"

"I think I've seen it before."

"No wonder I feel a familiar aura." Shuixu gestured for me to sit down and then he sat down and asked, "I heard that you are the special envoy of Ziri. I wonder what's going on here this time?"

"Actually, I am Ziri." The next thing I want to ask is related to the secrets of the monsters. It is difficult to continue without clarifying the identity.

Shuixu is also an old monster, and his thoughts are very deep. He didn't show much surprise when he heard my words. "Can you explain?"
