Chapter 337 Thick-skinned

In the blink of an eye, it has been more than half a month since we arrived in Outland. Apart from taking a small step away from Uncle Long, there is no news about Chang'an and Xiaoman. This made Lu Xiaoguo a little worried. There is also a reward building, which is somewhat similar to the Tianji Pavilion in Jiutian, but the reward building is a more advanced existence.

When Lu Xiaoguo first heard Jiumolong mention it, his eyes were full of astonishment.

Whether it is the guest who posted the task or the person who went to the reward building to pick up the task, he had to register his name in the reward building, and then get a storage compartment in the reward building.

The guest who posted the task will put the task reward in his storage box in advance. When someone accepts the task he posted and succeeds, the reward he gave will automatically appear in the storage box of the person who received the task.

Lu Xiaoguo couldn't help but think that the master behind this was so powerful that he could control such a large formation, and he immediately admired him very much, envious of the fees he earned in the process.

Speaking of which, Lu Xiaoguo has been looting around all these years. It stands to reason that there is no shortage of money to spend, but this outer domain does not need gold, silver, or moonstones, so her things are worthless here. Sisi Lingqi, commonly known as Lingyu, she doesn't have one piece, but fortunately, Jiumo's family often comes to give Lingyu.

But those people didn't have many hands, so they could barely get by. Occasionally, she also wanted to buy something, and she also wanted to go to the reward building to post tasks to find Xiaoman and Chang'an.

"Many rewards in the reward tower are given directly to Lingyu. With your cultivation, you can take on some simple tasks." Jiumolong suggested very kindly. Lu Xiaoguo has been struggling these few days, and he has had a hard time. It's refreshing, then Lu Xiaoguo doesn't open a room for him like before, so he basically sleeps in the open, or just sits at the door.

Of course, the most important thing is that he didn't tell Lu Xiaoguo that it was the first time he went to the reward building to pick up the mission, because he was a newcomer and had no guarantee, so he could only accept the low-level tasks, and the low-level tasks were usually to kill some fierce monsters. Beasts, those with bad luck, usually go and never return.

Since he couldn't get rid of Lu Xiaoguo, it could only be that Lu Xiaoguo died before him.

When Lu Xiaoguo heard his suggestion, he really thought about it seriously, and went to the reward building in Yucheng that day.

The reward building is next to the square in the center of the city. It is a towering stone building. At the entrance are two stone statues of lion-headed human-bodied gods and beasts. They are more than five feet high. Many people gathered on the stone steps at the entrance of the hall. Lu Xiaoguo is almost the same, they are all around level [-], and the highest level is no more than level [-].

Most of the women in Yucheng like to wear colorful veils, only their eyes are exposed, a string of tassels is uniform on their foreheads, their clothes are also extremely hot, and their slender, white and tender waists are all exposed outside. Few people wear shoes, most of them They are bare feet, with silver bells on their ankles, which make clear and crisp sounds whether they are walking or dancing.

Lu Xiaoguo was still not suitable for bare feet, so he reluctantly learned to wear a veil, and his clothes were improved, so that standing in the crowd was not so out of place.Because it was the first time here, and seeing that everyone was in twos and threes, I wanted someone to do the task together, which would indeed be more effective, so I glanced around and saw a few people with higher cultivation in front of me, so I moved over.

Before she could speak, one of the group of people glanced at him, "Do you have any skills?"

Lu Xiaoguo was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't expect the other party to be so direct, and immediately replied: "My cultivation level is three..."

Before the words were finished, a woman in orange clothes beside the other party sneered, "I said, this little sister, who came here to pick up the mission, who doesn't trade his life for resources, we are not obliged to give away our spoils Give it to you."

"I..." Lu Xiaoguo was about to explain that she was more useful than they imagined, but before she could speak, the young man who spoke before said coldly: "Xue Ji is right, if you don't have the ability, don't delay Our time." As he spoke, he turned his face away.

Lu Xiaoguo looked embarrassed. She didn't expect that the first time she struck up a conversation was so difficult. Then she asked several teams, but because she was only level three and dressed very ordinary, she didn't have any treasures on her body that the other party would like , so of course she was rejected.

Just when Lu Xiaoguo was depressed, a voice came from behind him: "Little girl, I have been following you for a long time. I think you are also a third-level cultivation base. This is the first time you have come to the reward building to accept tasks. How about the two of us?" Together?" A voice came from behind Lu Xiaoguo.

She subconsciously looked at her outfit, did she look very poor?Maybe I'm here to post a mission?He turned around and greeted that person: "Exactly, is this senior brother too?"

This young man looks handsome, but he is extremely talkative, and he immediately eloquently said: "Exactly, a cultivator like me, who doesn't have any resources, can only come to this reward building, and today is a free registration to receive storage Ge, so I came here early in the morning, but looking at the situation, I don't know when I will be able to line up."

It was only then that Lu Xiaoguo suddenly realized that the people standing on the steps were all here to queue up for registration?It was also the first time I came here to pick up the mission, one by one showing off some old man's scores... Suddenly the young man gave her a hand, "When are you standing here before it's your turn to register, come here quickly."

Therefore, Lu Xiaoguo joined the team logically, but there is no such thing as a pie in the world, and soon Lu Xiaoguo got to know him well, and also learned that although he is already a third-level practitioner, his spells sometimes work and sometimes don't work. He dared not act alone at all.

Lu Xiaoguo was surprised at his frankness, he simply didn't need help, he just needed someone familiar with the situation, so he didn't refuse.

After queuing for two hours, they finally arrived. Because today is a free registration to receive storage compartments, Lu Xiaoguo also registered his name separately.But still the same sentence, where does the pie fall from the sky?This storage compartment is only free for one month. After one month, it needs to be renewed, and the fee is charged according to the size. For example, the smallest storage compartment like Lu Xiaoguo now costs 30 yuan of Lingyu per month.

After registration, Atu got the token to open the storage compartment from the waiter in the reward building, and Atu took Lu Xiaoguo to the lobby to receive the task.

"Xiaoguo, let me tell you, you must not go to those above the second floor. Starting from the second floor, it is an intermediate task. First, our qualifications are not enough, and they will not let you go up. Second, I heard that the above The task is extremely perverted, if you are not careful, you will lose your life, why do we cultivate, isn't it just to live forever?" A Tu explained seriously, but seeing that the tasks on the stone tablet in the hall on this floor are basically to catch monsters , or killing monsters or something, he suddenly felt bitter.

While listening to him, Lu Xiaoguo looked at the rewards behind the missions. As for the missions, she didn't look at them at all. Just the moment Atu talked to her, she took ten missions at once, and suddenly found that A task gave 40 Yuan Lingyu, his eyes lit up immediately, and he was about to accept it, but was reminded of the task and the upper limit, and immediately took his task token from A Tu's hand, and took the task.

A Tu was talking eloquently, but suddenly realized that his hands were empty, turned his head, and saw the task that Lu Xiaoguo accepted with his token, his cheeks turned pale with fright, "Xiaoguo, you are crazy!"

But Lu Xiaoguo said indifferently: "I'm full. I think Lingyu has given you a lot. You can lend me your token. Then I'll be eight and you two." While she was talking, she took four more tasks in a row.

A Tu was already frightened, until Lu Xiaoguo accepted a few quests of 50 Yuan Lingyu again, and there reminded him that the quests were full, and he suddenly realized, "You...you are crazy." Scratching his head and blaming himself, "It's all my fault that I didn't make it clear to you. With our cultivation level, we can only accept the task of five pieces of spiritual jade. Why... hey, what can we do now?" Can't complete the task within the stipulated time , then the compensation will be doubled.

Lu Xiaoguo also understood these rules clearly, seeing his frustration, he couldn't help explaining: "Don't worry, just lead the way."

A Tu was not as happy as she was, and he had already started to calculate in his heart how much Lingyu he would have to pay.

The two were still standing here when they heard a familiar voice saying in surprise: "Hey, just now I clearly saw that the reward for several tasks was 50 Yuan Lingyu, why is it gone now?"

Lu Xiaoguo looked back and met the eyes of the woman named Xue Ji. She saw the two tokens in Lu Xiaoguo's hand at a glance, and saw A Tu beside her, and couldn't help but sneer: "Little Younger sister is really a newborn calf and is not afraid of tigers, tsk tsk, you probably don’t know, even if you die before completing the task, but anyone who is related to you by blood will still be compensated by the bounty building, you are harmful Harm yourself." After saying that, Yingying smiled, then turned and left.

"Is it so powerful?" Lu Xiaoguo didn't know, and couldn't help but look at the dumbfounded A Tu: "Is what she said true?"

A Tu also listened to Xue Ji's words, and now his face was pale, and he muttered in his mouth: "It's over, what if they go to find my mother if I die?"

Seeing this, Lu Xiaoguo thought it was true, but they can't go to the six realms, to find their mother in the human realm, right?However, there should be no chance of her mission failing.Immediately patted A Tu on the head: "Let's go, I have accepted all the tasks, I have to give it a try, in case we are lucky."

A Tu was full of worries at the moment, followed Lu Xiaoguo out of the reward building like a walking corpse, and said with a look of despair: "I want to say goodbye to my mother, let's meet at the gate of the city tomorrow."

"..." Lu Xiaoguo looked at the two tokens in his hand. The task of giving 50 Yuan Lingyu was nothing more than catching a level [-] monster. Why did A Tu look like he was dying?

After he left, Lu Xiaoguo had no choice but to go back to the inn. This Jiumolong was her slave now, he didn't have a half-length cultivation base, and he was worried about being caught by the Jiumo family, so he hid in the inn all the time.After a boring day, seeing Lu Xiaoguo finally came back, he hurriedly asked, "Did you accept the mission from the reward building?"

"En." Lu Xiaoguo responded, and threw the token to him, "Tell me, where are these things." In this way, it will save you from asking Naa Tu again tomorrow, and it is said that the faster you complete the task, there is a certain probability. Rewarded.

When Jiumolong saw the task above, the more he looked at it, the more excited his eyes became, and he felt as if he had received Lu Xiaoguo from heaven.On the one hand, he told her the location of the monsters on the mission verbatim.

The next day, Lu Xiaoguo was waiting for A Tu at the gate of the city early. During this time, she met Xue Ji's group, and the others gloated when they learned that she had accepted those fatal tasks.

They were a group of five people yesterday, but now there was one more person wearing a silver mask. The moment Lu Xiaoguo saw Yinlang in a daze, he was surprised for a moment.

Maybe it was because her eyes were too straightforward, so that the man looked over coldly, but his eyes were indifferent, without any emotion.

It's just that Xue Ji was displeased, and said in a strange way: "Little sister has beautiful eyes, even we Jinghong treat you differently."

When she said this, the masked man called Hu Jinghong suddenly turned cold, and showed murderous intent towards Lu Xiaoguo.

Lu Xiaoguo couldn't help complaining in his heart that he was sick, so he turned his face away and ignored them.

It didn't take long for them to leave when they saw A Tu coming. He was wearing several sets of thick leather armor, and he was as dead as a ball. If it wasn't for the spear behind him that was too eye-catching, Lu Xiaoguo wouldn't have recognize him.

"You can't do that, can you?" When he got closer, Lu Xiaoguo couldn't help being surprised when he saw that he was wearing three pairs of leather gloves on his head and hands.

A Tu looked frustrated, and seeing that Lu Xiaoguo didn't even bring a weapon, he sighed even more, untied a leather armor from his body, and handed it to Lu Xiaoguo: "I'm dying anyway, so I bought all the leather armor , can be regarded as a luxury before dying."

"..." Lu Xiaoguo was dumb for a moment, took the leather armor and put it on silently, and explained, "What if we are lucky..."

Both Lu Xiaoguo and A Tu's tokens are full of tasks, a total of [-]. According to A Tu's words, in order to live longer, so don't do the following tasks unless it is absolutely necessary.

The simplest task was taken by Lu Xiaoguo before, collecting first-class wind sharp grass. This kind of grass is very common and can be found on the mountains, but it is a pity that this grass is as famous as it is not only as sharp as a blade, but also can run away. As soon as someone approached, they quickly ran away. Their speed was so fast that many people with a cultivation level of three could not catch up, so very few people accepted this task.All in all, a thankless task.

"Three miles ahead, there is a piece of wind sharp grass, let's be careful, don't disturb them." At a mountainside, A Tu began to carefully remind Lu Xiaoguo that it was the first time for Lu Xiaoguo to do the task, and he just thought it was interesting When he said it like this, it was even more mysterious.

Especially when he saw a net in A Tu's hand, he couldn't help asking curiously: "What are you doing?" Didn't it mean that it was extremely sharp, and the net would not be scratched?

But I heard A Tu explain: "My mother borrowed this from my ancestral home yesterday, specially to catch Fengruixao." When he mentioned his ancestral home, a look of powerlessness flashed in his eyes.

Seeing this, Lu Xiaoguo didn't ask any more questions, but moved her steps cautiously just like this A Tu.

After much difficulty, the two slowly climbed the hillside for half an hour, and finally saw a green blade in the valley. It was the first time that Lu Xiaoguo saw this wind sharp grass, his eyes were inevitably shining, and he couldn't help asking excitedly: "Is that the one?"

As soon as she made a sound, those Fengruicao suddenly became commotion. Seeing this, A Tu quickly got up, and rushed towards the nearest Fengruicao with the net in hand.

The net quickly caught a Fengrui grass that wanted to escape, but before Ah Tu could heave a sigh of relief, the net was cut off, and he was dumbfounded immediately, and said angrily: " I knew how they could be so kind, and I was afraid that this time they would blackmail my mother into paying them back."

Lu Xiaoguo definitely did not expect these wind sharp grasses to be so sensitive. Seeing them running away quickly, he didn't care to comfort the frustrated and angry A Tu. With a flash of beauty, he rushed over and grabbed one of the inconspicuous wind grasses. Sharp grass, then threatened with a sneer: "You guys run one and try to see if I don't crush it to death."

Almost at the moment when her words fell, the Fengrui grass that had migrated and fled suddenly stopped, and the Fengrui grass in Lu Xiaoguo's hand was twisting in her hand unwillingly.

A Tu, who was extremely frustrated at first, saw that the wind sharp grass stopped, and was dumbfounded for a moment, and looked at Lu Xiaoguo dumbfounded: "Xiaoguo, this...what's going on?"

Lu Xiaoguo didn't know what was going on, anyway, he intuitively felt that these grasses, like ants and insects, belonged to a matrilineal society, but as long as this mother grass was under control, other grasses would not dare to act rashly.

In fact, as expected.Immediately explained to this A Tu, that A Tu immediately admired him, especially that Lu Xiaoguo could grasp their mother weed so accurately.But what shocked A Tu even more was that Lu Xiaoguo was holding the Wind Sharp Grass with his bare hands, and he didn't take any damage, "Xiao Guo, why aren't you afraid of the Wind Sharp Grass?"

"This... this Fengrui grass is not as mysterious as you said." Lu Xiaoguo said, pinching a leaf of the mother grass, and beckoning him to quickly get the storage bag, and picked two plants from it, and then Let the mother grass go.

As soon as she released it from her hand, the numerous wind sharp grasses embraced the mother grass and fled, and the speed was the first time Atu had ever seen it.

Feng Ruicao was caught easily, and then went to find the third-level monster.

But A Tu persuaded her worriedly: "Then let's not go to the next task. Let's save these spiritual jades slowly, but we only have one life. You see, you have the ability to grasp the wind and sharp grass. We will specialize in it in the future." It would be nice to take over the task of Wind Sharp Grass."

"Then when will I be able to save the spirit jade to release the mission?" If Lu Xiaoguo is not in a hurry to use the spirit jade, she is too lazy.Immediately without further ado, according to what Jiumolong said yesterday, he found a place where there was a flying triceratops.

After all, it was the first time for A Tu to do a mission, and of course it was also the first time he saw this three-angled flying snake. It was as thick as a bucket and coiled together in groups. It looked very harmful, and he was immediately frightened. His legs went limp, and he squatted in the grass tremblingly, trembling even with the voice: "Xiaoguo, let's run away quickly..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a blur in front of his eyes, and something heavy was thrown down in front of his eyes one after another, while Lu Xiaoguo asked, "Quickly see how many are here?"

A Tu rubbed his eyes in disbelief, thinking that he must be dazzled, but there were indeed three or four half-dead flying triangle flying snakes in front of him, and he touched the mission sign with trembling hands, "Four... four..."

After that, A Tu became an accountant, specializing in counting and bagging. By evening, his whole body was numb.It always feels like a dream, and there is a feeling of floating when walking.

In a blink of an eye, there were only a few missions that paid fifty Lingyu. He did some calculations. Although the sum of these missions was not enough to compensate those missions, if they were saved together, it might be enough.So he persuaded Lu Xiaoguo again, "Let's go back and hand in the quests, and we're picking up a few small quests, look..."

Before he finished speaking, he felt the wind blowing from the soles of his feet, and the whistling sound was even louder in his ears. When he woke up, he was already in a gloomy old forest.

Even the wind here is full of bloody smell. He has lived for so many years, and it is the first time he has stepped into such a deep mountain, so his face turned pale again, and he tightly grabbed Lu Xiaoguo's sleeve and trembled: "Xiaoguo, you Are you crazy, there may be level [-] monsters here, if we are discovered, we will die."

Lu Xiaoguo caught a lot of third-level monsters today. If the cultivation base of these monsters is compared with those of the demon world, they are about tenth-level monsters. She is not even afraid of Taixu monsters. monster?

Just as they were speaking, a gust of wind suddenly blew in front of them, and at the same time a scarlet fang beast appeared in front of them.

The other party obviously also noticed them, and suddenly a transparent liquid flowed out from the mouth along the fangs, exuding a stench, and then rushed towards them suddenly.

The balls of Ah Tu's eyes were about to pop out, if it wasn't for Lu Xiaoguo's quick movements, he might have fainted from fright.

But at the critical moment, Lu Xiaoguo jumped up suddenly, kicked the fang beast flying, and broke seven or eight thick old trees on the table before stopping.

While A Tu was still in shock, she had already rushed over to bag the fang beast. At this moment, a familiar figure came to her.

This woman is Xue Ji, she obviously didn't see Lu Xiaoguo between the tree stumps, she saw the Fanged Beast lying on the ground, her eyes were surprised, she thought she really hit it, and she was about to pack it up in a bag immediately.

"What are you doing?" Seeing that she was about to snatch his spoils, Lu Xiaoguo immediately jumped out to block her.

Xue Ji was taken aback, she didn't expect Lu Xiaoguo to be here, "I didn't expect you to have the courage to come here, it's beyond my expectation." Seeing the fangs beast on the ground, she laughed mockingly : "I forgot, you seem to have accepted this mission, but I killed this fang beast, I think no matter how thick-skinned you are, you won't be able to snatch something from my Xue Ji, right?
