Chapter 54 - 54 Sudden Situation
54 Sudden Situation
After tasting the sweetness of destroying an evil faction,
Xiao Shi then planned to eliminate the next evil force. Now, he desperately wanted to become the strongest Martial Entry-Level expert and wear the Martial Emperor Mask. He had such a supreme treasure in his hand, but he could only look at it. This made his heart feel like it was being scratched by a cat. It was very uncomfortable.
“The next target will be the Black Water Gang.”
Xiao Shi had an idea. According to the information he had investigated, the Black Water Gang was much stronger than the Sandstorm Stronghold. There were two ninth-stage Martial Entry-Level martial artists.
He believed that the gains from eliminating the Black Water Gang would be even more abundant than the Sandstorm Stronghold. However, he would only have time to take action the day after tomorrow.
He will receive a new round of missions tomorrow.
Xiao Shi had already thought it through. If he received a relatively time-consuming mission, he would exchange it with other night patrollers in exchange for a mission that could be completed in a day. This way, he would have plenty of time to slowly clean up the evil forces around him.
The next morning, Xiao Shi arrived at the gathering place of Team D. However, the atmosphere today was a little strange.
Many people looked worried.
Xiao Shi had only seen such a scene when newbies like them were on their first mission. However, now that most of the night patrollers of Team D had such faces, Xiao Shi felt that something was wrong.
“What happened?” Xiao Shi came to Yang Zhen and Wang Changhuan’s side and asked the two of them in confusion.
Both of them looked worried.
“We’ve received news that evil spirits have been appearing frequently around Golden Cloud City recently. Team A’s night patrollers alone can’t clean them up. Next, our Team D might have to clean up the evil spirits!”
“Evil spirits?” Xiao Shi was stunned.
When he first transmigrated to this world, he had heard how terrifying evil spirits were. Back then, his good friend Fu Chen, who was in the sect, had encountered an evil spirit when he was out on a mission and was harmed by it.
Although he knew that evil spirits were terrifying, he had never encountered one so far.
“Evil spirits are very difficult to deal with to begin with. Even the night patrollers of Team A often have a certain number of casualties in the cleanup of evil spirits. If we go to clean up the evil spirits… the casualties will definitely be greater!” Yang Zhen said with a heavy expression.
“What’s the strength of an evil spirit?”
Xiao Shi was very curious about this.
“The weakest type of evil spirit has strength comparable to the fifth level of the Martial Entry-Level. Most importantly, these evil spirits usually appear in groups and are rarely alone. If you’re unlucky and encounter a half-formed evil spirit, you’ll be finished!” Wang Changhuan explained to Xiao Shi.
“Half-formed evil spirit?”
Xiao Shi knew very little about evil spirits. He did not know what a half-formed evil spirit was.
“Evil spirits are usually divided into young spirits, half-formed evil spirits, and adult evil spirits. A young spirit is equivalent to the Martial Entry-Level of us humans. A half-formed evil spirit is comparable to the Qi Martial Realm. An adult evil spirit corresponds to the Blood Martial Realm.” Wang Changhuan added.
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Shi felt terrible. “You mean… we might encounter evil spirits comparable to the Qi Martial Realm?!”
“That’s right.” Yang Zhen nodded. “Not only is it possible to encounter half-formed evil spirits, but even adult evil spirits have appeared before. Once you encounter such an evil spirit, there is absolutely no hope of survival.”
Xiao Shi’s expression turned ugly.
It was too dangerous!
This was too f*cking dangerous!
Originally, he had thought that with his current strength, if these evil spirits were only comparable to the Martial Entry-Level, he would not have to worry about any danger at all. At the Martial Entry-Level, nothing could threaten him anymore.
However, he did not expect there to be evil spirits comparable to the Qi Martial Realm or even the Blood Martial Realm.
That was too dangerous!
At the same time, Team D’s captain also arrived at this moment. In the past, the squinty-eyed man had always been smiling. But today, his expression was slightly heavy. He looked around at everyone. He said in a deep voice. “I’m sure you’ve heard that evil spirits have been appearing frequently recently. We four teams of night patrollers will do our best to eliminate the surrounding evil spirits. Therefore, your next mission will be to kill the evil spirits around Golden Cloud City.”
As the squinty-eyed man spoke, many night patrollers’ expressions darkened.
Xiao Shi could not help but say in his heart. F*ck!
What he cared about the most was his own safety. In his opinion, this operation was extremely dangerous. If he had a choice, he would definitely not carry out such a dangerous operation.
However, it was obvious. This operation was mandatory for all night patrollers.
Soon, the squinty-eyed man told everyone the specific operation arrangements.
This time, Team D was mainly in charge of wiping out the evil spirits in the area south of Golden Cloud City.
Relatively speaking, this area also had the least number of evil spirits.
Later, the night patrollers of Team D would move out collectively and set off for this area. All night patrollers above the fifth level of the Martial Entry-Level had to participate. Although this operation was relatively dangerous for Team D’s night patrollers, they would also give more contribution points.
Just killing an evil spirit comparable to the fifth level of the Martial Entry-Level could obtain 300 contribution points. If it was an evil spirit comparable to the sixth level of the Martial Entry-Level, it would be 400 contribution points.
And so on.
This was also an opportunity to obtain a large number of contribution points.
Danger and opportunity had always coexisted.
Under the arrangements of the squinty-eyed man, many night patrollers of Team D left Golden Cloud City one after another and set off for the southern area.
Along the way, Xiao Shi’s mood was very heavy. After his investigation, he learned that the probability of a half-formed and adult evil spirit appearing was very low.
However, there was still such a threat.
“With my current strength and the many items on me, I should still have a chance to survive if I encounter a half-formed evil spirit. However, if I encounter an adult evil spirit, I will definitely die.”
Xiao Shi looked melancholic.
This sudden situation not only disrupted his plan to destroy the surrounding evil forces, but it also made his situation no longer safe.
After a while, the night patrollers of Team D quickly arrived at their destination. This was a relatively open plain. After arriving, they quickly built a camp here.
“You can form your own teams now. At night, you can officially begin your operation!” The captain said to everyone.
They would form a team to eliminate the evil spirits this time. The number of people in each team was limited to six. Everyone could form teams freely.
“Old Xiao, don’t worry too much. We’ve already found a powerful backer. It’s still very safe for you to come and team up with us.”
After Yang Zhen and Wang Changhuan saw the worried Xiao Shi, they comforted him and brought him to a burly night patroller.
“Brother Luo, the three of us and the two on your side can form a team of six. How about that?”
