Chapter 152 Ling Lan wants to test Hong Huang
"Okay, after my explanation, I believe you all have a general understanding of this hierarchy now, right? In that case, it's time to start completing your first mission! You know, this first mission at the rookie level is crucial. Back then, it was because I completed the assigned mission so well that I was able to be promoted from rookie level to full member level so quickly. And the mission assigned to you this time is..."
After Wu Rao finished speaking, Hong Huang and Ling Lan shouted in unison: "We guarantee to complete the task!" Their voices were loud, firm and powerful.
Hearing their decisive answers, Wu Rao nodded in satisfaction and continued, "Well, very good. However, considering that this mission is indeed quite difficult, and you are all newbies, I have decided to give you more time to carry out the task. How about this, you only need to successfully complete this task within a week."
"Thank you, Lord Wu, for your care! Don't worry, we will never let you down!" The two of them once again clasped their fists and saluted to express their gratitude.
Wu Rao nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Well, not bad. In that case, you can leave for now. I still have some urgent matters to deal with." After that, he turned around and walked away with steady steps until his figure disappeared from sight.
"Brother Di, we will be partners from now on, so you have to take good care of me." Ling Lan said with a smile.
"I understand. Let's go to the destination of the mission first." After Hong Huang finished speaking, he went straight back to the tavern.
Ling Lan looked at Hong Huang's departing back without saying much, but she was brewing a plan in her mind. She wanted to see whether the young man in front of her, who was disguised as a middle-aged man, had the same purpose as him.
After making preparations, Hong Huang and Ling Lan prepared to go to Jigui City. Their mission this time was related to Liu Lei, the lord of Jigui City.
The reason why the Liu family of Jigui City suddenly became the most powerful force in Jigui City was because they received help from the Demon Blood Cult. The city lord of Jigui City also broke through from the late Nascent Soul stage to the God Transformation stage because of this, but as a price, Liu Lei had to take the Demon Blood Cult's drugs for a long time.
Hong Huang and his team's mission this time is to provide Liu Lei with medicine while asking for some benefits from him. In the end, their mission evaluation will be related to the benefits they asked for.
Just as the two of them were rushing towards Jigui City like flying birds, suddenly, something unexpected happened. They were originally resting leisurely when they suddenly heard cries for help coming from not far away. The sound was like the cry of a night owl, echoing in the silent wilderness, which was creepy.
Just as Hong Huang was about to leave, he suddenly thought of the Demon Blood Cult member beside him. After a mental struggle, he finally stood up, turned to Ling Lan and said, "I'm a little curious, so I'll go over and take a look. But don't worry, I won't reveal our identities and purpose."
After Hong Huang finished speaking, he rushed towards the source of the sound at full speed. He did this to save the person calling for help before Ling Lan could react, and at the same time avoid being discovered by Ling Lan.
Linglan saw all of Hong Huang's little movements at the beginning clearly, and naturally guessed what Hong Huang was thinking. After a slight smile, Linglan made a gesture, and then a man in black appeared behind her.
"Uncle Ling, can you help me see what he's trying to do? You don't have to stop him, just observe his every move and tell me before he comes back."
"No problem, I will complete the task, Second Miss." After saying that, Ling Jue disappeared on the spot.
The scene slowly switched to Hong Huang, who had finally arrived at the destination of his journey after a long journey. However, the scene that came into his eyes made him instantly alert - a huge, ferocious-looking spirit beast was relentlessly chasing a trembling old man!
Hong Huang frowned, a hint of decisiveness flashed in his eyes. Without any time to think, he quickly took out the spear with a cold glow from his back, exerted force with his feet, and rushed towards the spirit beast like an arrow. At the same time, he suddenly thrust the spear forward. This attack was as powerful as a rainbow, and it brought a sharp gust of wind straight to the spirit beast.
The spirit beast was obviously no ordinary creature. It keenly sensed the threat from Hong Huang. At the critical moment, it nimbly dodged the fatal shot. Then, the spirit beast was not willing to be outdone. It waved its claws vigorously, raising a large cloud of dust. For a moment, sand and rocks flew everywhere, and the vision became blurred. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the spirit beast flashed and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Hong Huang looked at the direction where the spirit beast disappeared, hesitated slightly, but soon gave up the idea of continuing to chase it. After all, the most urgent task was to ensure that the frightened old man was safe and sound.
So, he quickly walked to the old man, carefully helped him to a relatively safe place, and gently comforted him: "Old man, don't be afraid, everything is fine."
After the old man's emotions calmed down a little, Hong Huang tried to communicate with him, hoping to get some information about the spirit beast from him. But no matter how Hong Huang asked, the old man kept his lips tightly closed and refused to utter a word. Finally, the old man just raised his trembling finger and pointed to a road sign not far away, indicating Hong Huang to take him there.
Although Hong Huang had some doubts in his heart, he saw that the old man was determined, so he didn't force him. He did as he was told and carefully escorted the old man to the road sign.
Before leaving, the old man thanked Hong Huang again, and then stood there quietly, gazing into the distance, as if lost in deep memories.
Hong Huang looked at the lonely back of the old man and couldn't help feeling pity in his heart. However, he still had his own tasks to complete and couldn't delay here for too long.
So, he took a deep look at the old man beside the road sign, then turned around and resolutely took big strides in the direction of Linglan and continued to move forward. Along the way, he would look back from time to time and look from afar to see if the mysterious old man was still safe.
Before Hong Huang turned around and left, Ling Jue told Ling Lan everything Hong Huang had just done, like pouring beans out of a bamboo tube. Ling Lan understood what he meant and smiled slightly. Then Hong Huang just happened to come back.
"Can we have a long talk, young man?"
