dawn of dynasty

Chapter 162 Favor, the seventh-level heroic spirit of the mountain and sea system—Deer Immortal!
Linjiang City.

As a famous fortress since ancient times, although it was attacked by the Jiandai clan, it did not leave many traces of the war.

It looked no different from when Shen Guanye came before.

In the city lord's mansion, Yang Jikang was talking to Shen Guanye with a kind smile.

As the general guarding Linjiang City, he does not need to participate in the battle for Tiger Cave. He only needs to guard Linjiang City's defense line and prevent the Jiandai clan from stealing the chicken.

This task is familiar to Yang Jikang and is not difficult.

The result is the same.

Although there were some minor accidents along the way.

For example, the appearance of the powerful Mo Dao warrior.

For example, one of his brigade commanders was assassinated by an unknown master.

As for the Jiandai Clan, they mobilized nearly two regiments of troops to attack a small position.

This is common in war.

In Yang Jikang's view, it was not a surprise.

In short, for Yang Jikang, the process was a little unexpected, but the result was good.

So, he was in a very good mood.

Shen Guanye was talking to Yang Jikang while observing his expression.

After some observation, he felt that Yang Jikang should be unaware of Lin Zhaohe's intention to trap and kill him.

Think about it too.

If "Lin Zhaohe is actually General Zhu's man" was not so secret.

Sheriff Bai and the others had warned him to be careful a long time ago, and there was no way they had not given any warning at all.

Since Sheriff Bai and others don't know this secret, it's not surprising that Yang Jikang doesn't know either.

"Battle Commander Shen, thanks to you for turning the tide. If it weren't for you, that line of defense would have been lost."

After a few pleasantries, Yang Jikang got to the point.

Compared with the superficial kindness and politeness when they met last time, Yang Jikang's attitude this time was much more sincere and he spoke a little more.

Shen Guanye endured the boredom in his heart and said politely:
"As for General Yang, I just helped him a little bit."

Yang Jikang stopped Shen Guanye from being polite and took out a contract from his sleeve.

"I won't say any more. You are going back today. This is a personal gift from me. Thank you for your support these days despite the danger."

Yang Jikang pressed the contract on the table, moved it in front of Shen Guanye, and clapped gently.

There were two snaps, and a figure wearing ancient Chinese clothes walked in from the back room.

This heroic spirit has a handsome appearance, with deer antlers on his head, and holds a peach wood staff with the head carved into the shape of a deer's head.

It is full of fairy spirit and extraordinary grace!

This is Deer Fairy!

A level 7 heroic spirit from the mountain and sea system.

Shen Guanye was really pleasantly surprised.

He never expected that Yang Jikang would give him a deer immortal.

I have to say that this person really has a knack for winning over people's hearts, and he will never be stingy when he should be generous.

Thinking about it, if Yang Jikang was really that stingy, he would not have been able to rule Linjiang City impregnably. He had been committing murder and corruption for so many years without even a single person reporting it.

If you only care about eating meat for yourself and don't even give the soup to the people below, how can you do it?

Thinking of this, Shen Guanye was not bought off by this small favor. He had always been principled in matters of right and wrong and was not easily shaken.

He just felt sorry.

Yang Jikang is the best choice in terms of ability and talent.

If he hadn't been so greedy for money and hadn't done such unscrupulous things to people's lives, he would have been a good boss and a good leader.

If he hadn't known about it beforehand, he would have been very fond of Yang Jikang by now.

It can only be said that human beings are really complex and contradictory animals.

"This... this is too expensive, I can't accept it."

Shen Guanye declined "hurriedly", looking flattered.

Seeing Shen Guanye's flattered look, the smile on Yang Jikang's face grew wider.

The reason why he was willing to spend a lot of money to send a deer immortal to Shen Guanye.

Firstly, it was because Shen Guanye really helped him a lot.

Lin Zhaohe's death was beyond his expectation, but the place where Lin Zhaohe was stationed was very critical. If it was captured by the Jiandai Clan, it would bring him a lot of trouble.

If you want to take it back, you will definitely have to pay a high price.

Secondly, it was because of the strength shown by Shen Guanye.

He originally planned to send a level 6 heroic spirit, but Shen Guanye had several level 7 and 8 warriors at his disposal.

It doesn't matter whether there is one more level 6 heroic spirit or one less.

If he really sends a level 6 heroic spirit, he will probably fail to win over people's hearts and end up reacting against him.

Therefore, after some consideration, Yang Jikang gritted his teeth and decided to give Shen Guanye a deer immortal.

Now seeing Shen Guanye's flattered look, he was certainly satisfied.

"Let's make the contract now, lest I regret it later."

In a good mood, Yang Jikang made a small joke.

"Then...then it's better to be respectful than to obey."

Shen Guanye hesitantly picked up the contract on the table and said.

The contract ignited without fire, and soon Shen Guanye had an extra connection with the deer immortal in front of him.

Shen Guanye said a few more words to Yang Jikang appropriately, and seeing that the time was almost up, he said goodbye.

Afterwards, Shou Siyuan and others held a small practice banquet for him.

In the afternoon, Shen Guanye left with the people from Hongdong Camp.

The rain and snow are beginning to fall.

It seemed that the war was coming to an end, and the snow that had fallen for many days stopped.

The sun shines on the snow, making it blindingly bright.

Shen Guanye stood on the bank of the river and looked back at Linjiang City.

Cangshan Mountain is covered with snow, and the towering Linjiang City is located on the mountain, covered with white snow. It is really a beautiful scenery.

Especially under this clear winter sky, it seems that the haze of war has dissipated and everything is developing in a good direction.

But in Shen Guanye's eyes, there are countless innocent souls wailing and roaring under this majestic stone city...

This time he was accidentally tricked, but fortunately he had several strong trump cards in his hand, so he didn't suffer much damage.

Not only was there no damage, but it was a blessing in disguise and I got a lot of benefits.

To break it down, the benefits include:

First, the night evil god was sealed.

This is the biggest gain, the Night Demon God is as powerful as Shang Kui.

His top combat power instantly doubled.

Originally, if he encountered a level 10 enemy, he would still be a little weak, but now he is completely weak.

Second, I got a Deer Immortal.

There is no need to explain this, there is an additional level 7 combat power.

Although having one more level 7 combat power is not a big deal to him.

But being able to get a Deer Immortal for nothing is the icing on the cake.

Third, he made friends with many people from Linjiang City.

Needless to say, Wang Lung, the whole camp had a good impression of him.

There are also Shou Siyuan and others.

These are invisible benefits that cannot be seen on a daily basis, but they may come in handy at some point.

Fourth, the merit money in the merit box exceeds half.

In the past, merit money was less than one-third.

So, half a year passed.

He still only has one level 4 god-type heroic spirit lair.

He assassinated Lin Zhaohe and helped Shou Siyuan and others repel the Jiandai clan.

A large amount of merit money fell from the sky, more than half of the merit box was filled at once.This gave him another five-sacrifice god house.

……

Turning around, Shen Guanye saw another corpse lying on the cart.

In this battle, the casualties suffered by Hongdong Camp were much greater than those in previous bandit campaigns combined.

Therefore, although the battle was not lost, the atmosphere in the team was very low and solemn.

"Let's go home!"

Back in Hongdong County, Shen Guanye didn't even care about his family's concerns. He first took matters into his own hands and arranged the pension arrangements.

He already took this matter very seriously, and after passing through Linjiang City, he sounded the alarm even more, fearing that the people below would fool him and steal his pension.

After that, he went back to Shenjiawu and replaced the Bamboo Spirit with a Huo Zhengyan slave.

During the battle in Linjiang City, he discovered an oversight on his part.

Previously, he thought that Shang Kui should maintain his full combat power as much as possible, so that when encountering emergencies, the upper limit of what he could handle would be increased.

Therefore, except for one of them, Huo Zhengyan, who was placed at home, the other two Huo Zhengyan disciples stayed with him.

But the battle in Linjiang City made him realize that he couldn't let Shang Kui show up in public.

In this way, if Shang Kui and Huo Zhengyan were hidden in China, they would not be hidden.

In this case, why not exchange Huo Zhengyan and Zhu Jing?
Bamboo Spirit had already appeared when Canglang Village attacked Hongdong County. The trouble was not big then, let alone now.

If the Bamboo Spirit is present when defending the position, they will have one more level 7 combatant on their side.

The people below can also suffer fewer casualties.

Although in times of war, countless people died every day.

But because of his own negligence and scruples, Shen Guanye always felt guilty.

Shenjiawu, inside the ancestral hall.

The heroic spirits recruited over the past six months have occupied the three floors inside and outside the ancestral hall.

Now if someone comes to make a surprise attack again, there is no way to destroy the nest without paying a heavy price.

A figure that looked like it was made of fire glass appeared out of thin air. After landing, he bowed respectfully to Shen Guanye.

This is the Huo Zhengyan follower transformed from the Thunder Fairy.

Its characteristics are that its attacks are as fast as lightning and it is a good hand in killing vegetables. It is quite suitable to be used to guard the ancestral hall.

In fact, considering the level of the lair in the ancestral hall, having an eighth-level combat power stationed there is already beyond the norm.

Huo Zhengyan, transformed from the Priest of Punishment, was placed at home by him.

For Shen Guanye, his family is definitely more important than these lairs in the ancestral hall.

As soon as Huo Zhengyan entered the ancestral hall, the bamboo spirit hiding in the cypress tree appeared in front of Shen Guanye and bowed to Shen Guanye.

Shen Guanye looked at the Bamboo Spirit and the Deer Immortal standing beside him, feeling in a good mood.

As a level 7 heroic spirit of the mountain and sea system, Lu Xian is quite strong.

He is good at spells and can use all kinds of weird spells.

In terms of positioning, it is more similar to the Academy Mage. It is a mobile turret.

The shortcomings are also the same as those of the Academy Mage. He is not good at melee combat and has thin skin and brittle blood.

Speaking of which, there is a strange pattern in the strength of mountain and sea heroic spirits.

That is the creatures with beautiful meanings in the hearts of Tianxia people, and their ranks are often relatively high.

Such as swallow spirits and rat monsters.

In terms of ecological niche, swallows can't beat mice, let alone wolves, wolves, and pythons.

But the rat demon is only a level 2 heroic spirit, while the swallow demon is a level 6 heroic spirit, the same level as the wolf demon and the water snake demon, and one level higher than the wolf demon.

Just outrageous!
Not only the swallow spirit.

Pine Fairy, Lotus Fairy, Bamboo Fairy, Chrysanthemum Fairy, Deer Fairy, Plum Blossom Fairy, Magpie Fairy...

The levels of these heroic spirits are very high, and these animals and plants have beautiful meanings in Tianxia.

Shen Guanye took the Bamboo Spirit and the Deer Immortal back into the Kingdom of God, and then activated the power of the lower Eight Scenery Gods to soar into the clouds.

Not long after returning home, I received an invitation.

Invite him to watch the contract ceremony in Tiger Cave.

This was sent by the provincial government. To be precise, it was specially arranged for him by Governor Bai.

The contract ceremony in Tiger Cave invited all important figures from the Bilong Clan and celebrities outside the Bilong Clan.

For an event of this level, without Governor Bai's special advice, no one would think of him as a small battalion commander.

Even if he has repeatedly accomplished extraordinary feats, he has always been recognized by Marshal Hong.

Shen Guanye was grateful for Governor Bai's kindness, packed up and set off.

The event was grand and grand. Water was sprayed and cleaned and the venue was leveled a few days ago. Many rehearsals were held, and great efforts were made in publicity.

A posture that does not care about the loss of manpower, material resources and financial resources.

However, this is not incomprehensible.

The Tiger Cave is of great significance to begin with, and since the Bilong Clan had suffered a hidden loss before, it was natural that it would have to regain its place in subsequent publicity.

As a guest at the ceremony, Shen Guanye and Bai Minyi walked through several cutscenes.

During this period, Bai Minyi introduced him to many young talents.

However, Bai Minyi's circle was extraordinary. The people he met were either rich or noble. Even with Shen Guanye's current status, he could only be ranked in the middle.

The focus of the conversation obviously revolves around the people with the highest status.

Fortunately, Bai Minyi's friends are all of good quality, so there is no such thing as looking down on others.

Shen Guanye is not a person who likes to express himself, so in a few days, he has really expanded a lot of contacts.

After a few days of tossing, the contract ceremony was finally held as scheduled.

God was also very generous. The wind was sunny and the temperature was a little higher that day.

Shen Guanye stood beside Bai Minyi and others, looking at the solemn and solemn but complicated and boring ceremony, and felt like yawning.

Especially when Governor Hong stood on the stage and read the manuscript and began to speak at length, which lasted for more than half an hour, he felt even more sleepy.

It seems that no matter which world they are in, most leaders cannot change the habit of long speeches.

Shen Guanye thought while resisting the urge to yawn.

Finally, Governor Hong's long speech ended, and Shen Guanye finally regained his energy.

Because the highlight of this ceremony is the Tiger Cave.

Finally it was brought to the stage.

Shen Guanye was not interested in other parts of the ceremony, but he was very interested in the Tiger Cave.

This was the first time he had seen such a high-level heroic spirit lair in reality.

The heavy iron box landed on the stage.

It has to be said that the Tiger Cave is worthy of being a 12th level heroic spirit lair. If nothing else, its size alone is not comparable to that of a lower level heroic spirit lair.

Low-level lairs, such as Demon Cave, Willow Ghost Forest, and Tomb of Yinzai, are no more than the size of a dressing box after being sealed.

But the iron box containing Tiger Cave in front of me was half a person tall and required four big men to carry it.

Marshal Hong stepped forward and somehow did something with it, and the iron box opened with a clanging sound like a machine box.

Then, the energy of the mountains and forests gathered together, and a forest seemed to appear on the stage, leaning against a cliff.

On the cliff, a striking white tiger appeared.

Tiger Roaring Mountain Forest!

There seemed to be a deafening tiger roar in the hearts of everyone present.

Many people were so frightened that their faces turned pale.

Then the vision on the stage disappeared.

Several tiger shadows began to roar and circle above the Tiger Cave.

It was only then that everyone had enough time to observe the sealed Tiger Cave.

Shen Guanye's eyes swept across the tiger shadow hovering above and landed on the tiger cave in the transparent glass box.

The layout of the 12th-level lair is indeed different.

When Liugui Forest, Yincha Tomb and Demonic Cave were sealed before, there was no abnormality at all.

Tiger Cave is more like a cliff, green and lush, in the shape of a crouching tiger, and the entrance of the cave is at the mouth.

Marshal Hong stood in front of the Tiger Cave, his face glowing red and full of ambition.

It's like a night of flowers and candles in the bridal chamber, when the gold medal is named.
