I just want to be stable, I was hung up and became a Valkyrie

Chapter 173

The scroll in Shen Qian's arms is black and gold, with a pattern around the edge.

This is exactly the reward for the one star in the night that he quietly accepted.

The scrolls of most bounty missions will start to become hot when they approach the target area, so as to remind the warriors who are doing the mission.

Shen Qian wasn't quite sure what the reason was, but as early as the first candle snake just appeared, Shen Qian found that the scroll started to heat up.

This is also the reason why he was distracted at the time.

Otherwise, maybe he still has a chance to stop Gu Yungao.

It can only be said that the other party's life is not very good.

As time went by, the temperature of the scroll not only did not drop, but also gradually increased.

This confused Shen Qian even more.

He has been standing there without moving, why is the scroll getting hotter and hotter?

Before Shen Qian set off, he also opened the mission scroll to read the detailed information. Theoretically, the mission area is also in the east of the city, but it should be some distance away from Xiaowang Village.

When this happens, it only means that the task area or the task target is moving towards him.

Therefore, Shen Qian has always been vigilant, so that he can be the first to discover the approach of the snake group.

"Shen Qian, what did you mean by what you just said?"

Xiang Qi frowned, and then realized something from the dignified expressions of the Dark Star team, "Is there any other danger here?"

"High probability." Shen Qian nodded.

Xiang Qiwen said, jumped up from the ground in an instant, and greeted the other three members of the Panshi team, "Let's go!"

"The green hills don't change, the green waters flow forever, Shen Qian, I've made a deal with you as a friend, come back and drink, goodbye!"

Shen Qian looked at Xiang Qi and the others who disappeared into the distance in an instant without laughing or crying.

... This is too time-sensitive!

But after thinking about it, perhaps this is also one of the secrets of being able to survive in the restricted area for a long time.

Seeing the people from the Panshi team walking so decisively, He Weichen and Yuan You looked at each other and nodded at the same time.

"Let's leave as soon as possible, the reward mission in Xiaowang Village can only be temporarily given up."

He Weichen said.

Everyone naturally did not have any objections.

Among other things, Xiaowang Village did not have so many candle snakes gathering in the past.

This is no longer a place where ordinary slashing teams can set foot.

The members of the Dark Star Squad were about to leave, but Yuan You inadvertently glanced back but stopped, wondering, "Shen Qian, why don't you leave?"

"I won't go." Shen Qian shook his head.

"why?"

Everyone in the Dark Star Squad was stunned, He Weichen was puzzled.

"I still have some other things to deal with. You guys go first. Don't worry, I won't have any problems with Dao Jiu."

Shen Qian smiled, and didn't wait for the crowd to ask, and took Dao Jiu to the depths of Xiaowang Village.

He Weichen opened his mouth, but in the end he could only shake his head helplessly.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with Shen Qian's behavior, but the feeling that he had become a burden was really not that pleasant.

"Let's go."

He Weichen heaved a sigh of relief, took another deep look at Shen Qian's back, waved and led the crowd out of the village.

"Shen Qian, be careful!"

Gu Zifang yelled, and only after seeing Shen Qian waving in response did he, Ouyang Fei and others follow the team.

"Don't worry, he's fine."

Seeing Gu Zifang's dazed expression, Ouyang Fei comforted with a smile, "Even if there is any danger, they can definitely protect themselves."

"I'm not worried about his safety..."

Gu Zifang shook her head in disappointment.

"That……"

"I know he is very strong, but this is too much, how can I catch up with him?" Gu Zifang smiled wryly.

Ouyang Fei was silent for a while.

He knew that what Gu Zifang was talking about wasn't about Shanhai's bodyguards, but... Shen Qian's superficial martial artist's cultivation made Gu Yungao, a high-ranking warrior, helpless to fight back.

The three of them knew how shocking that scene was.

The speed of Shen Qian's progress... is really terrifying.

Desperate.

"team leader!"

At this moment, Yang Ni suddenly called out.

The team stopped temporarily, and He Weichen, who was still thinking about something, turned around and said, "What's wrong?"

"Where's Yuan You?" Yang Ni questioned.

Everyone looked around, they were all startled, because Yuan You really disappeared.

He Weichen's expression changed first, and then he thought of something again. He stopped and said with a complicated expression, "She should be looking for Shen Qian..."

"What... what does she want to do, isn't she holding back Shen Qian with her cultivation?" Yang Ni was startled.

"Who knows?" He Weichen was also helpless, "Woman..."

……

In the depths of Xiaowang Village, Shen Qian and Dao Jiu stood on a mountain wall, looking ahead with serious expressions.

It's getting foggy.

Just about a kilometer away, a thick fog is filling in, covering everything.

Feeling the increasingly hot scroll in his arms, Shen Qian was about to say something to Dao Jiu, when Dao Jiu's figure suddenly flickered on the spot, and when he reappeared, there was already a figure in front of Shen Qian.

Yuan You didn't seem to have expected that Dao Jiu would drag her out in such a brutal way, and was at a loss for a while.

But she quickly straightened her messy hair, and said before the stunned Shen Qian could speak: "There are three reasons for bringing me!"

"Let's listen to it." Shen Qian was noncommittal.

"First, I am a genuine senior scholar. In terms of knowledge, I can rank in the top ten in Jingcheng. The restricted area is mysterious and unusual. I can give you answers to many things!"

"Second, not only do I have a high IQ, but I also know how to advance and retreat, and I will never hold you back!"

Yuan You spoke quickly.

Shen Qian waited for a while, but couldn't wait for the next sentence, so he couldn't help wondering: "Then what about the third one?"

"third……"

Yuan You's eyes became bright again, she stared at Shen Qian, as if she wanted to see through all his secrets.

"The reward in the dark night, you accepted it, right?"

"Why do you say that?"

Shen Qian was startled, but asked calmly on the surface.

"I only thought of it when you left the team just now."

Yuan You said firmly, "You said you still have something to do in the restricted area, but what can you do?"

"Besides, you just said that there are other dangers here, and you are very sure, which means that you must have some kind of proof."

"The quest scroll happens to be the most suitable voucher."

"If I'm not wrong, it might be in your arms, isn't it?"

Seeing Yuan You staring straight at his chest and abdomen, Shen Qian felt a little admired, but he still said with a half-smile, "That's it?"

"Of course not." Yuan You smiled again, "My biggest reason is because of you."

"Me myself?"

"First of all, you are a hunter, and secondly, you are an alchemist and a scout, and you understand snake language, which means that you are very likely to be a beast master... The Martial Arts Association only stipulates that the establishment of a slashing team requires more than four sub-professions, but It never said four people were needed."

Yuan You stared at Shen Qian with complicated eyes, "So, you alone are already a complete slash-plowing team."

"You're really smart."

Shen Qian no longer concealed his admiration. Although he didn't hide it on purpose, he was able to draw a complete logic line in a short period of time based on these clues, and determined that he had accepted the reward offered by the night, but it was not something ordinary people could do.

"But... what does that have to do with your third reason?"

Before Yuan You could be proud, Shen Qian quickly changed his voice.

"Because even if you can win many divisions of labor, you still lack a very important assistant..." Yuan You smiled slyly.

"You mean navigator?"

Shen Qian had already thought of something.

"Not bad!" Yuan You said proudly, "Even if you can fight and kill, there must be someone to record your results. Don't forget, if there is no navigator, your results may not be recorded by the Martial Arts Association." admit!"

Shen Qian was speechless for a moment.

From a certain point of view, what Yuan You said made a lot of sense.

Probably there has never been a precedent for "one person forming a team", so the regulations of the Martial Arts Association did not specify whether a navigator is still required when a person performs a reward mission.

In general slash-and-plow teams, this position is also held by scholars who act as think tanks.

Shen Qian himself is also a scholar, but whether he can be his own navigator is unknown.

But seeing Yuan You's determined expression on her face, especially when she puffed up her chest slightly, Shen Qian felt that she couldn't be allowed to succeed so easily.

The great man once said the truth of "the wind from the east to the wind from the west", and Shen Qian, after making up some emotional theories, deeply believed it.

"What's the matter with the fog, I will let you stay if you explain it clearly within 1 minute."

Shen Qian pointed to the front and gave the test directly.

"Hello!"

Yuan You bit her red lips, but she still snorted arrogantly and stepped forward to look at the spreading mist.

"Two possibilities!"

I don't know if it was because of the strong wind or on purpose, but she deliberately leaned close to Shen Qian's ear.

"The first one is simply due to the weather, but considering that it hasn't rained in the past three days, the air humidity may not be enough. This possibility is relatively small."

"The second type is that there are creatures acting as monsters. Some plants or monsters recorded in ancient books have this ability, but if the fog in such a large area is a monster, I suggest that we run away now..."

"The third one is as likely as the second one, but it's not a good sign. You know the existence of the 'door', right?"

Yuan You breathed out again "unconsciously" into Shen Qian's ear.

... Shen didn't change his expression in front of him, coughed lightly and said, "I know."

"The appearance of the 'door' will always be accompanied by all kinds of weird weather. According to my knowledge, you can understand that it is like a projection, a projection from the world inside the door, which affects the surrounding weather, and sometimes even Not limited to the weather... ah."

At this time, Yuan You didn't know if it was because he didn't stand firmly, so he moved forward.

"..."

Shen Qian finally couldn't resist anymore, had to distance himself, and looked at Yuan You with a strange expression on his face.

"I didn't do it on purpose..." Yuan You also blushed a little.

"You said... a 'door' appeared here?" Shen Qian took the initiative to change the subject.

"It may also be the 'door' that has been closed. I am more inclined to have it before. If it is a new 'door', the fog is filled like this, and the strong of the human race must have appeared long ago."

"Okay, you pass the test."

Shen Qian nodded, and jumped down from the mountain wall with a wave of his hand, "Let's go, go in and have a look."

Dao Jiu also jumped down.

"Why don't you go?" Shen Qian, who was thinking about things, turned around, but saw Yuan You still standing on the mountain wall, and couldn't help but wondered.

"I can't fly. If I jump from such a high height, I'm afraid I will be seriously injured. Of course, if you want to wait for me to climb down, then you have to wait."

Yuan You looked at the nearly 30-meter-high mountain wall and said innocently.

Seeing that Dao Jiu didn't respond, Shen Qian had no choice but to shake his head helplessly, then skimmed up the mountain wall nimbly again, and hugged Yuan You down.

In order to save time, Shen Qian simply let Yuan You hang on his body, and rushed towards the thick fog not far away.

Full of fragrance, Shen Qian had to take deep breaths to adjust his body condition.

... I really don't blame him for his reaction. Due to the strong body function of the warrior, the demand in some aspects is also great. Shen Qian has been suppressed for too long, and he is already on the verge of eruption, but it almost sparked.

Maybe he also felt something, Yuan You was very honest and didn't dare to move.

When the fog approached, Shen Qian put Yuan You down.

"Show me the scroll first." Yuan You said immediately after landing.

Seeing Yuan You realized something, Shen Qian took out the black and gold scroll and handed it to her.

"The details of this task are really the simplest one I have ever seen, but judging from the temperature, it may really have something to do with the fog."

After reading it quickly, Yuan You returned the scroll to Shen Qian and shook his head.

The description on the quest scroll was very brief, even sloppy. It only stated that there was a creature called "The Prisoner" and the area where it might be active. As for what the "Prisoner" was and its origin, I didn't know anything about it.

Even the existence of the so-called "prisoner's tears" is not certain, as if the other party is just hearsay.

Fortunately, even if you can't complete the task, as long as you have explored a specific area, you can take one-third of the reward as a reward.

Probably this is also the reason why the Martial Arts Association approved the release of this mission.

Whoa!
While the two were talking, thick fog filled the air, submerging the area where the three were located.

The subconscious nervousness made Yuan You hold Shen Qian's hand, and when the fog in front of them dissipated, the expressions of both of them changed.

Yuan You is because of the scene in front of him.

And Shen Qian was because...

"Knife Nine!"

Shen Qian shouted the other party's name.

"He's gone?"

Yuan You came to his senses and asked quickly.

"Seems to be."

In order to avoid missing again inexplicably, Shen Qian held Yuan You's hand and looked around.

The fog that engulfed the two of them just now was no longer visible, and they were in an empty grassland, only then did Shen Qian understand why Yuan You exclaimed.

This place...is not Xiaowang Village.

In other words, the environment here has nothing to do with Xiaowang Village.

The shadows of some mountain peaks can only be seen in the extreme distance, and within a range of at least three to five kilometers, there are only endless grasslands.

It was as if they had come to another world.

In addition, Dao Jiu was also missing.

Shen Qian pondered for a while, and then took out the communication device he customized for him and Dao Jiu.

On the positioning display screen, the red dot representing Knife Nine also disappeared, and the signal in the upper right corner seemed to be disturbed by some kind of interference, and it was constantly flashing.

"How to do?"

Yuan You asked worriedly.

"It's okay, Dao Jiu will definitely find a way to reunite with us, it's just a matter of time, let's explore the vicinity first."

Seeing that the system didn't respond, Shen Qian wasn't too nervous, so he said something casually, and led Yuan You forward.

"Do you think this is the projection of the 'gate'? At least in my memory, there is no such a wide grassland near Jingcheng."

"It's very likely."

Yuan You recalled, "There are three closed doors to the east of Jingcheng City. Unfortunately, the information about those 'doors' is top secret, and I can't be sure which 'door' is the projection left behind."

Shen Qian was about to answer, but suddenly his eyes focused, and he pulled Yuan You to stop.

"what is that?"
