588. Chapter 588 Savior (1/2)

(Xiao Yan, look! It's the red flame leaf!)

(Heavenly vine grass!)

(And that one over there is the resurrection flower?!)

Wan Yao Mountain Range, Xiao Yixian saw through Xiao Yan's sight that there were countless medicinal herbs growing in the forest in front of him. Any one of them could be sold at a sky-high price. How could there be so many here? !

Xiao Yan couldn't help but open his mouth and exclaimed when he saw the clusters of precious medicinal herbs. It was worthy of Danta's sphere of influence. Precious medicinal herbs here were like weeds on the roadside.

Then Xiao Yan lowered his head slightly and looked at the three items in his hand, a map of the Wan Yao Mountain Range, a space stone to return to Danta, and finally a task list, all of which were given by the elders of Danta after entering the space. After that, all the participants were immediately teleported to various places in the Wan Yao Mountain Range.

The map of the Wan Yao Mountain Range is needless to say, and the space stone is a safety measure given by Danta to the participants. When the participants feel that their lives are in danger, they can crush the space stone at any time and return to Danta to ensure that their lives are safe.

However, on the contrary, participants who return to Danta in this way will lose their qualifications, which is also reasonable. In order to survive, they have to admit that they have lost the competition.

The last task list is different for each participant. Some people only list some very basic medicinal materials on their task list, while others list quite rare materials on their task list. Only after collecting the task targets listed on the list and submitting them to the designated location can they pass the exam.

As for whether the task list in hand is easy or difficult to complete, it all depends on luck.

Fortunately, Xiao Yan's luck is pretty good. Although the targets on his task list are also slightly rare, it is not too difficult to collect them all in this Wanyao Mountain Range.

"Then quickly collect all the mission targets and submit them." Xiao Yan put away the three items, with a little worry in his eyes, "By the way, is Ye Xinlan okay?"

You should know that the elders of the Alchemy Association have already explained in advance that casualties are inevitable in the Wanyao Mountain Range. In previous Alchemy Associations, almost no one could return home. Although Ye Xinlan is a sixth-grade alchemist, her own strength has just broken through Dou Wang, which is really not good enough among all the participants at the Dou Zong level.

Although Xiao Yan was so worried, Xiao Yixian comforted him softly.

(Don't worry, that girl is better at judging the situation than you, not to mention that she participated in this competition with the mentality of going through the motions. If there is any danger, she will definitely crush the space stone without hesitation.)

Xiao Yixian said this, and at the same time, she looked down on Xiao Yan without hiding it. After all, Xiao Yixian had never seen anyone who was so arrogant as Xiao Yan.

(Uh)

Xiao Yan also heard the unhappiness in Xiao Yixian's tone, smiled awkwardly, and then shrugged his shoulders. He believed Xiao Yixian's judgment in his heart, temporarily put Ye Xinlan's safety behind his mind, and began to collect his mission targets.

It must be said that the medicinal materials in the Wanyao Mountain Range are really sufficient. In less than half a day, Xiao Yan has found half of the targets on the mission list. It seems that it won't take much effort to find the rest.

During this period, Xiao Yan also collected some medicinal materials that he might use in the future. The elder of Danta also said that as long as it is not excessive to the point of coming to the Wanyao Mountain Range to purchase goods, all the medicinal materials outside the mission targets can be put into his pocket.

Even the organizer agreed, Xiao Yan naturally would not be stubborn.

"Heavenly Silk Dragon Blood Ganoderma. Purple Heart Grass."

Xiao Yan counted the medicinal materials he collected outside the mission targets, and couldn't help sighing in his heart.

Xiao Yan had planned to buy these herbs before, but he never had the free time. He didn't expect to collect them by the way when he came to attend the alchemy meeting. If he bought these herbs outside, he would definitely not be able to get them without 10 million.

Even Xiao Yan was like this, not to mention Xiao Yixian. If she was not just a soul body living in Xiao Yan's body at this time, she would probably drool from the corners of her mouth.

Money, money, money! Money is everywhere! If Xiao Yixian entered the Wanyao Mountain Range while alive, she would definitely plunder wherever she went, and no grass would grow wherever she went!

This is not the Wanyao Mountain Range, isn't this the pure Wanjin Mountain Range? !

At the same time, Xiao Yixian felt sad for the countless times for her past poor thoughts. She and Boss Yao had worked so hard to run the Wanyaozhai before, but even if it was multiplied by ten, it couldn't afford a herb that could be seen everywhere on the roadside here!

"Hmm?"

Xiao Yan, who was collecting medicinal herbs, suddenly felt something, raised his eyebrows, and looked at the sky covered by the lush green forest.

Why did I suddenly feel a very annoying breath?

Just as Xiao Yan was thinking this, he suddenly turned sideways without any warning, and then the hand knife mixed with sharp fighting spirit just brushed his chest. Xiao Yan, who dodged the attack, had a cold light in his eyes, and his fist hit the attacker's chest with a lightning speed. Then the attacker flew out heavily like a kite with a broken string, fell to the ground and twitched all over, and didn't stand up for a long time.

Xiao Yan looked at the fallen attacker with a cold face, not worrying at all whether he had hit too hard or accidentally injured him.

The attacker just came to take his life, Xiao Yan could feel this very clearly, and Xiao Yan would not be merciful to such a person.

Three-star Dou Zong said, is this person a contestant?

Xiao Yan frowned, and flashed to the attacker, bent down, grabbed his collar and lifted him up, and asked coldly.

"Who are you? Why did you attack me?"

The attacker seemed to have been hit by Xiao Yan for a long time and couldn't recover. He was breathing rapidly. Xiao Yan was not in a hurry, and waited for his answer quietly.

After a long time, the attacker recovered, but did not answer Xiao Yan's question. With a scarlet light in his eyes, he stabbed his hand into Xiao Yan's heart again.

Crack!

"Um"

Seeing that his hand was broken in an instant, the attacker's eye sockets bulged, and before he could scream, Xiao Yan grabbed the lower half of his face tightly with one hand, and forcibly stuffed back the scream that he had not yet uttered. The cold voice also rang in the attacker's ears.

"I'll ask again, who are you? Why did you attack me?"

After asking this question, Xiao Yan took back the hand covering his mouth. The attacker finally understood the difference in strength between him and Xiao Yan from the bottom of his heart. He gave up the idea of ​​attacking and his head was confused.

This kid is just a one-star Dou Zong? How can he be so strong? !

The attacker was still thinking, his eyes met Xiao Yan's unfriendly eyes, and he was frightened and immediately came back to his senses. He shuddered and spoke quickly.

"I am the Soul Envoy of the Soul Palace!"

Soul Envoy, the lowest status in the Soul Palace. To be honest, a three-star Dou Zong in the Northwest Continent can at least get a guardian, but in Zhongzhou, the Dou Zong level can only be a Soul Envoy.

"Soul Palace?"

Xiao Yan was slightly stunned, and then his unfriendly eyes became more fierce.

His mentor was harmed by the Soul Palace to become what he is now, and there were also the things about the Jia Ma Empire, Xiao Yu, and the things that forced Yun Yun to almost kill Yun Xiao. These things Xiao Yan has always kept in mind.

Xiao Yan had no good feelings towards anyone in this organization. However, Xiao Yan did not vent his anger immediately, but took the lead in asking what he should know most now.

"Why did you attack me?"

The soul envoy did not want to answer Xiao Yan's question. Just by looking at Xiao Yan's eyes, he could guess that the man in front of him had a big grudge with the Soul Palace. He could guess what would happen if he told the truth.

However, when he met Xiao Yan's eyes, the fear in his heart made him have no time to think, and he answered immediately.

"The Palace Master asked us to come! Let us kill anyone who is not from the Soul Palace in this Wanyao Mountain Range!"

"We?" Xiao Yan noticed this word and felt something was wrong. He asked sternly, "How many people are there besides you?!"

"I don't know too much! All the soul envoys of our branch halls are here! About thirty or forty!"

Are all thirty or forty Dou Zong?

Xiao Yan was stunned. He heard Yao Chen say that Danta and Soul Hall were mortal enemies from ancient times to the present. Soul Hall was well aware of this and rarely had direct conflicts with Danta. Now they actually sent so many Soul Halls to Danta's territory to slaughter the contestants at once? !

And the Soul Envoy was talking about their branch halls, which means that there might be more than just these thirty or forty people coming!

". Got it, thank you for your information."

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Yan thanked the Soul Envoy in this way. Although it was such a polite expression, the cold light in his eyes made his face change suddenly.

"Spare"

Puff!

The brilliant fire ignited from Xiao Yan's hand and instantly swept the body of the Soul Envoy. In the blink of an eye, it burned it into nothingness, and even the soul was not left.

Xiao Yixian was not moved by the miserable state of the Soul Envoy. She frowned and asked in her heart.

(Xiao Yan, why did Soul Palace suddenly come in here to slaughter the contestants?)

(I don't know. Judging from the expression on this guy's face just now, he probably doesn't know why he gave this order.) Xiao Yan grabbed his wrist and twisted it gently, his eyes narrowed slightly, (but now, it seems that it is not the time to collect herbs leisurely.)

Damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it!

Why did the people from Soul Palace appear in the Wanyao Mountain Range? !

In the dense forest, Ye Xinlan's expression was extremely tense, her eyes were full of fear and panic, she carefully hid her body, and her whole body was trembling.

Just a dozen minutes ago, Ye Xinlan was still happily collecting herbs in the forest. Looking at the precious herbs that her family could not afford one after another, Ye Xinlan was so excited.

After just this trip, even if she couldn't participate in the next project, the herbs she collected were enough for her to practice for a long time.

Alchemists are very expensive, not only because the materials themselves are expensive, but also because the learning of alchemists is to gain experience by burning a large number of medicinal materials. Except for a few geniuses such as Cao Yingdanchen, most alchemists actually have to pile up money.

Anyway, Ye Xinlan didn't expect to pass this project from the beginning. The other contestants were Dou Zong and seventh-grade alchemists. How could she, a Dou Wang-level sixth-grade alchemist, have the capital to fight?

Do as much as you can. Ye Xinlan has always been very self-aware of this.

However, just as Ye Xinlan was humming a little song and doing her best to collect materials that she could use in the future, she was happy that she would no longer lack medicinal materials for practicing alchemy in the future. Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of a contestant in the distance through the layers of tree trunks.

Ye Xinlan knew that contestant, Yu Qian from the Yu family, was not familiar with her, but she had met him before. She was a Dou Huang-level sixth-grade alchemist.

Ye Xinlan didn't intend to get close to others and make things boring. Everyone here is a competitor, and the other party might look at her with the mentality of excluding her opponent.

It doesn't matter if she loses, but the key is that she can't continue to collect medicinal materials happily after leaving the Wanyao Mountains.

So Ye Xinlan turned around and left decisively, trying to avoid the other party.

However, at this moment, Ye Xinlan saw a chain suddenly falling from the sky, piercing Yu Qian's head directly! Yu Qian died there without any reaction! If Ye Xinlan hadn't covered her mouth tightly at the first time, she would have screamed long ago.

Then Ye Xinlan didn't dare to stay any longer, and lay down on the ground carefully, completely ignoring the soil on the ground, and moved away from the murder scene little by little, and didn't dare to spill her fighting spirit and soul power at all.

While Ye Xinlan was hiding herself on thin ice, she met many contestants who had the same experience as Yu Qian. Most of them died on the spot without even the chance to take out the space stone and escape. Wherever Ye Xinlan went, she could see the bodies of the contestants with her. Until now, she was hiding in the lush grass and didn't even dare to breathe.

Ye Xinlan was holding the space stone tightly in her hand, but she never crushed it.

It was not that Ye Xinlan coveted the medicinal materials here and didn't want to leave, but that Ye Xinlan had seen a few of the contestants who were killed before. They took out the space stone and crushed it before being killed, but they still stayed in the same place and didn't return to Danta at all. Then they were killed by those mysterious people with despair in their eyes.

Seeing these scenes, Ye Xinlan came to two conclusions.

One is that the space stone in the contestant's hand happened to be broken, and the other is that everyone's space stone is unusable.

The first reason can be ignored directly, Danta will never go wrong in this matter.

As for the other one, the probability of everyone's space stone having problems at the same time is even less likely, so it can only be that someone blocked the space here.

In other words, if she crushed the space stone now, not only would she not be able to escape, but she might also cause a commotion and expose her position!

Dad, your daughter just wanted to come here to buy some inventory honestly, why did she encounter such a thing?

Ye Xinlan was very sad, and tears flowed from the corners of her eyes, but she didn't dare to cry.

"Hey, there's a mouse hiding here?"

This voice was like ice that sent Ye Xinlan into hell, making Ye Xinlan's hair stand up. She turned her head suddenly and saw a man standing beside her at some point, with a moving chain wrapped around his arm.

Without saying a word, the spiked chain pierced straight at the frightened Ye Xinlan, and Ye Xinlan instinctively closed her eyes, and even lost the consciousness of crushing the space stone to gamble.

Boom!

The expected pain did not come, but a loud bang replaced it, causing Ye Xinlan to open her eyes suddenly. What she saw was the majestic figure that she had often seen in the Black Horn Region, standing in front of everyone like a savior.

The evil leader, Xiao Yan! (End of this chapter)
