Ascension

Chapter 143 Three Fire Demons
There is a small level difference. It is indeed easier than before to crush muscle zombies with Hua Zhu.

After the battle, Lord Ye Han arranged for Su Mei, Li Jingming, and Wang Xinfei to start a training session, and revised their next growth plans one by one.

Later, Mr. Ye Han asked about some of Ren Wo Kuang's past experiences, and only then did he find out.

The reason why this new king disappeared for half a year was entirely because he was in a desperate situation while out hunting and was forced to rest in an unknown valley for a long time.

It is precisely because of this experience that the muscle zombies have broken down and stood up again. Whether it is combat ability or tacit understanding of cooperation, it can be said that they have made rapid progress.

"Master Han, since you have been promoted to the second level, you also hold the status of a formal mentor."

"Have you ever considered submitting an application and going to teach at South Campus?"

Ren Wokuang asked seriously.

Ye Hanjun shook his head and said bluntly:

"I know very little about the situation in the South Campus, but I have heard countless times that the number of people there is far less than that of the North Campus, but the actual competitive pressure has increased several times."

"Especially the "Ten Heroes" and "Three Heroes", which are said to be the key to the inheritance of Canghai Pavilion to this day. They are both status and glory, and all the students in the South Campus are chasing after them. "

"Indeed."

Ren Wo nodded wildly and said with longing on his face:
"The title of the newcomer king of the North Campus can only be in the limelight in the North Campus."

"When it comes to South Campus, this kind of title is not useless, but as long as you are not among the top ten, no matter how many achievements you make, it is of no value."

"So, you go first."

Ye Hanjun said truthfully:

"No matter how eye-catching I am in the North Campus, if I rely on my own strength, it's easy to keep the place in check."

"Once I go to the South Campus now, and the coaching has not started yet, as the source of the storm, there will only be a steady stream of troubles coming."

"Then I'll be in the south courtyard, waiting for Master Han's visit."

Let me clasp my fists and salute with all due respect.

"It won't be long."

Ye Hanjun glanced at Su Mei, Li Jingming, and Wang Xinfei, and said thoughtfully:

"With me taking care of them, the three of them have made rapid progress."

"When they are almost stuck at the critical point of the second rank, I will set my sights on the South Courtyard."

"And in this transitional stage, maybe you and I won't have too many opportunities to meet."

"If you have any confusion about your cultivation recently, please raise it now and I will try my best to answer it for you."

"I will also make an exclusive growth plan for your authority and contracted spirit according to my understanding."

"Don't worry, I won't reduce the necessary training, but there is no harm in avoiding some insignificant and meaningless detours in advance."

……

For a whole day, Ye Hanjun and his four disciples spent time in the training hall.

The disciples did not achieve amazing breakthroughs or important achievements.

But just by getting along with each other calmly and teaching seriously, the effect of accelerating the flow of authority is far ahead of teaching a hundred ordinary students.

Such fulfilling days lasted for three days.

Three days later, Ren Wo Kuang went to the South Campus and it became a legend in the North Campus.

Ye Hanjun calmed down and held a "cooking" related course every three days on average.

In his spare time, he either mentors his disciples, teaches Hua Zhu, or catches Guagua to learn human language.

Of course, he did not miss out on daily dietary supplements and medicinal supplements.

The ancient succubus, Ejifula, is still absorbing his life essence, like a trickle all the time.

If there is no better way to prevent it, we can only use better quality supplements to ensure that the input is greater than the output.

……

half a month later.

Lord Ye Han, in disguise, went to the mission hall again.

I walked to the window with ease and showed the anonymous identity ring corresponding to the task entruster. The staff handed me a sealed box.

"Sir, this is the recently collected intelligence information. There are 16 pieces in total. Please read it yourself."

"Yes." Lord Ye Han reached out to take it and asked, "How many spiritual stones are there left for the prepaid spirit stones?"

"Sir, to this day, you have invested a total of 3000 low-grade spirit stones in this mission."

The staff member smiled and said, "There are currently 210 pieces left. Based on the past loss frequency, it may not last a few days."

"Here is 500 pieces. Continue to issue commissions. The mission cannot be suspended."

"Yes."

The staff took away the bag of spiritual stones and handled related services in a familiar manner.

Ye Hanjun, who was holding the box in his arms, found a free VIP lounge, locked the door and read the scroll.

[Information 1: 500 miles north of Canghai Pavilion, in an area called the 'Grey Mud Swamp', a batch of fossils were recently unearthed, including devil horns and devil wings...]

[Information 2: Recently, a caravan from the Red Frog Country passed through the Blue Frog Country. During the chat among the merchants, they mentioned that in a hilly area in the eastern border of the Red Frog Country, a group of "stone demons" suddenly appeared.This kind of hell-loving spirit is said to live deep underground. Someone should be mining there and accidentally disturbed it and destroyed their habitat...]

[Information 3: Half a month ago, a young demon appeared in the "Younu Tower", one of the four major chambers of commerce in Giant Frog Pond. He had no wings on his back, a skinny body, one eye and two mouths... Because the species is unknown, it is tentatively determined " "Treasure" is expected to be auctioned in the capital of Blue Frog Kingdom in ten days...]

……

Halfway through, Ye Hanjun stopped temporarily.

The value of the information this time is generally on the high side.

For example, the "Stone Demon" is a demon whose whole body is made of stones. Ordinary swords, guns, swords and halberds cannot even leave scratches on its body.

At the same level, the stone demon's defense is comparable to that of an armored horse.

In other aspects, slow movement, slow reaction, and fear of water spirits... these are weaknesses.

But it also has advantages, such as great strength and ferocious personality... With a perfect score of 100, the Stone Demon has 80 points.

As for the young demon that is about to be auctioned...

There are no wings on the back, the body is thin, with one eye and two mouths...

Lord Yehan initially determined that this was a "monkey demon".

Monkey Demon - This kind of demon remains small in size when it grows up and is not good at physical combat.

It is characterized by flexibility, especially in environments such as forests. It is extremely difficult to catch it with the help of branches, vines, shrubs...

In addition, the monkey demon also masters sonic skills.

The unexpected roar may stun the enemy.

In Lord Yehan's mind, the value of the monkey demon is even higher than that of the stone demon, almost 85 points.

however……

Just thinking briefly, Lord Ye Han still frowned.

Fortunately, the devil was found in Giant Frog Pond, and the power of the "Devil's Attendant" was not stagnant for five years.

The misfortune of luck, whether it is the capital of the Red Frog Kingdom or the Blue Frog Kingdom, the journey is far away and there are many crises.

This is not a problem that can be easily solved at this stage.

After thinking about it again and again, Lord Yehan suppressed his turbulent thoughts and prepared to read the remaining information in the scroll before making any plans.

Unexpectedly, there was an extra surprise.

The 15th piece of information contains the following information:

[Information 15: To the north of Canghai Pavilion, near the border of Blue Frog Country, there is an inaccessible land. 】

[There is a mass burial mountain there. In recent decades, spirits such as the undead and demons have often appeared...]

[At the foot of Mass Burial Mountain, there is a village with less than a hundred people. The young ones are all mortals, and the adults are basically family members...]

[Because it is close to the Mass Burial Mountain, many people in the Mass Burial Village have hunted demons, and some of the sworn spirits contracted by certain lords are demons...]

[I heard that there are more than ten types of demons existing in the Mass Burial Mountain... Among them, the more dangerous and powerful ones must be the "Fire Demons"...]

[Note: I heard this information mentioned by the elders in the family, and the elders returned from traveling many years ago and could only confirm that the Mass Burial Mountain is real and the devil is also real. 】

[But...if time has passed and today's Mass Burial Mountain has become a different place, please don't blame the mission issuer...]

"Mass Burial Mountain... Mass Burial Village... Balrog..."

The fingers that grabbed the scroll unconsciously exerted some force.

Lord Yehan's eyes were blazing. Compared to the stone demon and monkey demon in front of him, this information was obviously more attractive to him.

First of all, although the location mentioned in the intelligence is quite far away from Canghai Pavilion.

But compared to the royal capital of the Blue Frog Kingdom, or leaving the country to go to the Red Frog Kingdom, the difficulty is half that, and I have the ability to try it at this stage.

Secondly, there are different kinds of demons in the Mass Burial Mountain. The environment there must be darker, and there are undoubtedly many more potential options.

Finally, the most important thing is the "Fire Demon" mentioned in the intelligence!
Among the low-level demon species, Balrog must be a high-quality type.

It possesses the blazing fire element, can cast spells, and can fight hand-to-hand, so its combat power is balanced.

Moreover, there is no natural way for stone demons and monkey demons to ascend and evolve, so they need to find another way.

But Balrog is different.

The 2nd rank is promoted to the 3rd rank, that is, the womb of Xia Zhao flies to the womb of Yuying.

The Balrog can naturally evolve into a "Two-Headed Balrog", giving birth to an extra head and increasing its power.

Not only that, if the embryo of annihilation can be cultivated to the fifth level, the two-headed Balrog can move up to the form of the "Three-headed Balrog".

Three Balrogs—that's a high-ranking demon!

The three heads spit out fire at the same time, which was a prairie fire. The [-]-meter-wide river dried up in an instant, and the groups of beasts were turned into charcoal. As far as the eye could see... what a shock!

Ye Hanjun's heart thumped faster.

He admitted that his interest was piqued.

Balrog's score can reach over 90 points!
There was such a high-quality demon species in the Giant Frog Pond, which made him feel calm... How could he not make waves?
As long as the Balrog can be contracted, the "Demon Servant" will surely develop steadily!

With the active power "Devil Altar", it won't take long to be promoted to the second level and quickly catch up with the coach's progress.

It would be more interesting to consider another active power, "enchantment".

Once the power of Balrog's bloodline is added to the body, Lord Yehan should turn into a burning fireman.

Breathing out flames, punching armor, stepping on scorched earth...it's not too difficult to think about.

……

The informant also chose to remain anonymous and was unwilling to identify himself easily.

Ye Hanjun couldn't ask for more details.

However, when he left the mission hall, he made up his mind.

It doesn't matter whether it's the stone demon or the monkey demon.

But this Mass Burial Mountain... you should go there anyway!
After making the decision, Ye Hanjun immediately went to the course selection hall and temporarily closed the subsequent cooking courses.

Naturally, it is impossible for tutors in the academy to exist solely for the purpose of teaching.

They also need to practice and grow.

Just make sure you do your job with all your heart on weekdays and give full consideration to the college.When necessary, taking time off from school is as easy as eating and drinking.

After settling this matter, Ye Hanjun ran to Cross Old Street to do some shopping.

Now that the destination is clear and there are two types of spirits, demons and undead, we can make targeted preparations.

For example, "Lighting Talisman", "Glory Talisman", "Strong Light Talisman"... The more light element talismans made by these talisman masters, the better.

For example, "evil lure grass", "fresh pig brains", "fresh human blood"... these trapping materials that may be of interest to dark creatures should be purchased as much as possible.

After a busy afternoon, when he returned to Hutouyuan, Ye Hanjun contacted Su Mei in time.

The mass burial mountain is too far away and there are too many potential dangers along the way.

The goal of this trip is to contract with the devil and start practicing the duties of a devil's servant.

Looking forward and backward, three disciples are not suitable to carry. Going alone can ensure their own safety.

"Master Han, I understand."

"Tomorrow I will inform Xiaoli and Feifei that we will work hard to practice before you return to the academy!"

"Su Mei, your Ostrich should be promoted soon."

Ye Hanjun pondered: "You don't have to follow my rhythm completely. I can't protect you forever."

"It will take ten days and a half to come back after this trip. You can team up with Li Jingming. As I said before, the two of you go hunting."

"What about Feifei? If she stays in the academy all the time, her progress will be limited after all." Su Mei worried.

"Her grounding is a bit troublesome."

Ye Hanjun thought about it and said:
"But if you stay in the academy and train intensively every day, it won't be a big problem to be promoted to the second level."

"By the time we move to the South Campus, things in the Four Ghosts Mercenary Group have almost cooled down."

"When the time comes, no matter whether the people behind the scenes have any eyebrows, they can go hunting with other elite students or participate in weird trials. The main focus is 'rebellion'."

"Okay, I'll tell them."

Su Mei nodded, "Master Han, when do you plan to set off?"

"I will take advantage of the darkness and leave Canghai Pavilion today."

"Guagua was promoted to Clay Sculpture Perfection ten days ago. He just grew up a little, but it still didn't trigger his abnormal development."

"Maybe on this trip, I can also follow the rising Xia Zhao?"

……

It was late at night, and Ye Hanjun, who had taken a short nap, woke up the six-legged cow and horse and drove it to the side door.

Fortunately, I ascended in advance. If I were still an ordinary cow and horse with perfect clay sculptures, I don't know how much time would be wasted if I really wanted to go to this place called Mass Burial Mountain.

Along the way, there is no deception.

The six-legged ox-horse is now a well-known traveling companion spirit in Beiyuan. Seeing the horse is like seeing Master Han, and cannot hide it.

But after leaving the city gate, Mr. Ye Han didn't take the main road, but shuttled along the muddy path, with almost no contact with humans.

After one day, Canghai Pavilion was already infinitely far away, and the probability of meeting one or two people from the academy on the road was extremely slim.

More of them are mercenaries, adventurers, businessmen, and hunters who are full of martial arts atmosphere...

Many of them like to drink, and even more like to play skewers and brag while drinking.

Ye Hanjun, who changed his clothes midway, adopted the pseudonym Bai Wuchen.

He wears a white wig, his appearance is slightly modified, and he is inclined to middle-aged and young people.

Along the way, he obviously didn't cause any trouble and kept a low profile.

But when he was taking a nap at the inn, the six-legged cow and horse were often regarded as his contracted spirits and commented on behind his back.

Occasionally, I will meet someone who is short-sighted and comes over drunk to "point out the country".

At this time, Lord Ye Han will not tolerate it.

As long as you call "Old Six", the six-legged cow and horse will moo and rush over to serve you with six legs.

In this way, these dependent masters, who are generally only first-level and clay sculptures, finally judged that "the idea is very hard, and continuing to provoke them is courting death."

Ye Hanjun's ears were immediately clear.

……

"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally!!"

With continuous running and proper rest, the six-legged oxen and horses have always been in good condition.

Because of the strengthening of super spirituality, Lord Yehan is able to identify danger in time.

If you can win, let Hua Zhu fight. If you can't, let the six-legged cow horse take a detour.

The journey has been far smoother than expected.

The only three crises come from three birds born with jade babies.

However, they all flashed across the sky, aiming at the more powerful Kasumi's fetus.

Ye Hanjun, who was careful and adaptable, was not treated as lunch or dinner, and passed without any danger.

"It should be nearby, a mountain, shaped like a towering tower..."

On the fifth day after leaving Canghai Pavilion, after repeatedly comparing the information, Mr. Ye Han believed that the destination was nearby.

Indeed, as mentioned in the description, the surrounding area is either a barren wasteland or a dark and deep swamp. It is difficult to see even living creatures, and it is even harder to find traces of adventurers.

It took a whole day for Mr. Ye Han to wander around.

Finally, he saw three peaks. The one on the far right looked like a tower, which was very close to the description in the intelligence.

It took more than half a day to get to this mountain peak.

As he approached the foot of the mountain, Ye Hanjun slowed down and became more vigilant.

"Srustling——"

There was a very thin silk thread hidden between the two trees in front. It was tough and sharp, and it seemed like some kind of simple trap.

On the hillside on the right front, there is a hovering green-eyed owl. It is not flying irregularly. It is suspected to be a contracted spirit of human beings and is doing sentry work.

In the distance, there were a few very faint wisps of smoke, which were blown away by the strong wind as soon as they rose.

A little closer, about 800 meters away, there are two people covered in paint. One is riding a tiger and the other is riding a lion. They are observing the surroundings with solemn faces.

"Who!"

Ye Hanjun did not choose to sneak in.

After he had clearly identified the traps, hidden whistles, and open whistles around him, the other party finally discovered his traces belatedly.

In an instant, the liger roared and warned the surroundings.

The two savage-like servant masters also drew their bows and raised their arrows, aiming at Lord Ye Han's brows with a faint edge.

"I have no malice."

Lord Ye Han stopped, without showing any trace of panic, and calmly shouted:

"I came here to find some materials and study some creatures."

"I heard that undead creatures and demonic spirits often appear in the nearby mountains... Is this possible?"

"Whoosh!"

Two arrows were fired. Lord Yehan's eyes were slightly cold, and he used his waist and body to lean back.

"Roar!"

The colorful tiger shouted, but hesitated to pounce forward.

The same is true for the toothed lion. He wanted to rush forward, but was comforted by his master, and his roar became more and more violent.

"Ow, ooh, ooh—"

A "big ape" arrived, carrying a vigorous old man on its back, also covered in paint.

Within a few seconds, a pitch-black dog-shaped monster sprang out, with rat-like teeth and fox-like ears. Its orange eyes were full of murderous intent, and its whole body exuded a dark and cruel aura.

Ye Hanjun's eyes froze and he stared at the monster for five seconds.

——This is the "Dog Demon".

Among the five spirits present, the colorful tiger, the toothed lion, and the green-eyed owl are all clay sculptures.

The old great ape is Kasatsura Kosei, and his combat power is estimated to be about the same as Kasabsa Xuyin's.

Only the Dog Demon is a great success without any decline, giving people the strongest sense of crisis.

Of course, what really makes Lord Yehan care is... this is a demon!
Mass Burial Mountain, Mass Burial Village—you can really find demonic hell spirits here!
The first contract mark corresponding to the demon servant finally has a use! !
"No outsiders have come to our village for a long time..."

The energetic old man fixed his eyes like an eagle on Lord Ye Han's bright white hair.

Judging from his expression and breath, it didn't look like he wanted to communicate in a friendly manner.

"Who are you and why are you here?"

A strong man came from a distance, pushed aside the branches, and stood beside the dog demon.

Judging from his subtle movements of holding a hunting bow, subconsciously sniffing his nose, and subconsciously glancing around, there is a high probability that this is an E-rank "hunter".

"I want to go up the mountain, but I'm worried about the danger, and I want to ask you some information."

"There are 1000 low-grade spiritual stones here. If you can... make a deal?"

Ye Hanjun took out a bag of spirit stones and said calmly.

Unexpectedly, the old man sneered and said slightly disdainfully:
"We live here in seclusion and are self-sufficient. This spirit stone is of little use to us."

"If you don't have any ill intentions, please come back."

"If we take another step forward and threaten the safety of the village, don't blame us for being rude."

"So aloof?"

Lord Ye Han smiled:

"If you don't need money, I still have some medicines here, as well as some exquisite and small mechanical toys... You are independent in the world, so you don't need everything, right?"

The old man's eyes were cold and he was about to scold him.

The strong man stretched out his hand to stop him, looked into Ye Hanjun's eyes, and asked directly:

"What is your authority?"

"scholar."

The corner of Ye Hanjun's mouth curled up and he immediately answered.

"scholar?!"

Whether it was a strong man, an old man, or the owner on the back of a colorful tiger or a toothed lion, they were all stunned.

"You look only 40 or [-] years old, but you are actually a scholar?"

"Don't spend time in the library, don't stay in the research room...you explore the wild alone?"

"It was precisely because I was curious about demonic spirits that I went out to investigate."

Lord Yehan nodded and said, "Besides that, I also possess miscellaneous knowledge."

"Sir, I see a trace of hesitation hidden in your eyebrows, but you are in trouble? Maybe I can provide you with some suggestions."
