Mortal: Fight monsters and upgrade, I will enjoy immortality!

The innocent girl was startled. She took the jade pendant, examined it carefully, and then solemnly returned it in even numbers.

"Team Eleven Shishi, greetings to the captain!"

"Wei Shan meets the captain!"

……

When the other four people saw that Ye Ming's identity was confirmed, their faces changed and they hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

The square-faced middle-aged man at the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage was called Wei Shan. The other three were a big man in black named Qing He, a simple and honest young man named Ge Jie, and a middle-aged Taoist priest named Ni Daocheng.

"Well, is it just you few? What about the other fellow Taoists?" Ye Ming nodded slightly.

A patrol team usually consists of ten Black Iron Guards and one Blue Sky Guard. Zhao Wugui said that this team lost some people, but he didn't know how many people were lost.

"Friend Wang and Fairy Jiang are meditating in the quiet room. Captain, would you like to call them out next time?"

The square-faced middle-aged man asked respectfully.

"Go ahead. After we meet, the tasks from above will also be handed down."

Ye Ming said calmly.

"Yes, Captain!"

After receiving the order, the square-faced middle-aged man immediately exchanged a glance with the pure girl, and then they fled to two quiet rooms separately.

Not long after, another man and a woman appeared in front of Ye Ming. As expected, they were both cultivators in the late Nascent Soul stage.

The patrol missions in Tianyuan City carry varying degrees of danger, but even in the areas with the lowest danger level, the probability of encountering alien spies is low.

And no matter how low the probability is, once you encounter it, it is 100%!

Therefore, the Black Iron Guards in the patrol team generally have to have the cultivation level of the late Nascent Soul stage. There are also cultivators in the middle Nascent Soul stage, but they are relatively rare.

"I'm Wang Huaixin, a casual cultivator, nice to meet you, Captain Ye." The person who just came out was a skinny man.

"I'm Jiang Han, a disciple of Baihua Valley. From now on, I will rely on Captain Ye's care." While saluting, the woman also threw a coquettish glance at Ye Ming.

Ye Ming ignored Jiang Han's seductive eyes, nodded calmly, and said lightly: "I have just arrived in Tianyuan City not long ago, and I don't know much about patrolling. Can anyone introduce it to me?"

"Yes, sir! Since the senior has given the order, I will naturally tell the truth." Upon hearing Ye Ming say this, Jiang Han reacted the fastest and answered first.

The others looked at Ye Ming curiously. They had heard that the new captain would be an ascended monk.

They had already heard about the advantages and disadvantages of the ascended monks, so they were full of expectations for Ye Ming, the new captain.

But after seeing Ye Ming, they found that this senior was not at the late stage of the Spiritualization Realm as the legend said, but was only at the early stage. They were inevitably a little disappointed. However, after thinking about it, they didn't care anymore. Even if he was at the early stage, he would probably be much stronger than the local cultivators.
In the following time, the woman first gave a general introduction to the members of the team, and then introduced the patrol tasks that their team often performed.

Just as Ye Ming was listening calmly, suddenly a golden light flashed in from outside the temple door and shot straight towards the three people.

Seeing this, Ye Ming immediately used his mind to guide the golden light, causing it to spin in the air and fall between his fingers.

Then the golden light dissipated, revealing a small golden sword with a groove in the middle filled with a red jade slip.

The golden sword sends letters, which is the unique communication method of Feiling Palace.

Ye Ming immediately took out the red jade slip and read the contents with his spiritual sense.

"Dead Swamp? Can anyone tell me about this place?"

"What? How could it be this place?" When Shi Shi heard this, she immediately screamed in shock, her face pale with fear appearing on her innocent face.

Wei Shan, Jiang Han and six others also had similar expressions on their faces.

"Seeing your reaction, is this place dangerous?" Ye Ming frowned and asked slowly.

"It's more than just dangerous! This is the area where those alien spies are most likely to appear, and it's one of the most dangerous areas. The last time we went there for patrol, the previous captain, Senior Xing, unfortunately died in a sneak attack by the Shadow Clan, along with three other fellow Taoists. If it weren't for the timely rescue by another patrol team, I'm afraid all of us would have to stay there." Shi Shi let out a deep breath and said with a look of fear on his face.

"Yeah, we originally thought that since we just encountered a major setback, the higher-ups wouldn't let us go to the Undead Swamp anymore, but we didn't expect that they would still arrange us to go there. It's really hateful!" A trace of resentment flashed across Jiang Han's charming face.

"A place where aliens often appear?" Ye Ming was not afraid when he heard this, but rather looked forward to it. "There are more than just one team patrolling this area, right?"

"Yes, in dangerous areas like the Undead Swamp, four teams are usually arranged to patrol." This time it was Wei Shan who took over.

"In that case, there is nothing to complain about. Let's pack up and set off in one stick of incense." Ye Ming said lightly.

"Captain, our team hasn't been fully staffed yet, you see..." Seeing Ye Ming so enthusiastic, several people looked at each other in bewilderment. Is this new captain ignorant and fearless, or is he confident?
"No need to go to such trouble. Just the few of you. Go early and come back early."

"Captain Ye, the previous captain, Senior Xing, is a mid-stage Spiritualization cultivator..."

"Stop talking so much nonsense. Just get ready when I tell you to. Why are you wasting time here?" Ye Ming's face suddenly darkened and he scolded.

"Yes, Captain!" Everyone was startled and nodded in agreement without daring to say anything else.

Then he flew to his quiet room with a worried look on his face.

"Shi Shi, you stay." Ye Ming called out to the innocent girl who wanted to go back to the quiet room.

"Captain?" The woman looked at Ye Ming in confusion.

"Please give me a detailed introduction to the Undead Swamp." Although Ye Ming was not afraid, he still needed to understand the situation inside. He would not rush in recklessly without knowing anything.

The innocent girl was delighted. It seemed that the new captain was not completely unreliable. So she quickly introduced him: "Okay, Captain. The Undead Swamp is outside Tianyuan City..."

A stick of incense passed quickly and the seven people returned to the hall.

"Now that we are ready, let's go."

Ye Ming did not hesitate at all. He gave an order and ordered everyone to leave the hall and head straight to a nearby teleportation stone palace.

When they arrived at the teleportation stone hall, Ye Ming handed over his identity token, and then the group of eight split into two groups and stood in the teleportation array.

As a result, in the white light, all eight people left Tianyuan City and appeared in an unfamiliar place.

Ye Ming, Shi Shi and others were teleported out together. After the teleportation light dissipated, they looked around.

This is a small stone chamber with a one-way teleportation array underfoot. Various runes are flashing on the surrounding walls, as if it is completely covered by restrictions.

Ye Ming walked down the teleportation array calmly. After Shi Shi and the other three got rid of some dizziness, they also followed him down.

Immediately, the teleportation array flashed white light, and Wei Shan and four others were also teleported over.

At this time, Ye Ming had already observed the surrounding situation clearly. After waiting for a while for everyone to adapt, Ye Ming walked to the door of the stone chamber in a few steps, took out the Qingmingwei jade pendant and waved it at the door.

Suddenly a beam of green light shot out, and the runes on the stone door fluttered and slowly opened, revealing a passage about ten feet wide that led diagonally upwards.

Ye Ming said nothing, and with a flash of golden light, he turned into a shocking rainbow and shot out.

The seven men behind him immediately used their escape techniques and followed closely.

Not long after the last person left the stone chamber, the stone door flashed with light and slowly closed automatically.

After escaping from the passage, there was a flash of inspiration, and several people appeared above a hill. They paused slightly and looked around.

This is a rather desolate hilly area. At a glance, it is surrounded by hills of all sizes, lush and green, and a quiet and peaceful scene.

Is this the wilderness? Ye Ming looked around for a while, then looked behind him, and saw that in the distance, hundreds of miles away, huge sections of city walls were clearly visible. The city walls were in a white light, with various runes floating on them. Even from such a distance, they could still be seen flashing with amazing aura.

According to previous understanding, Tianyuan City faces a giant wall of the wild world and has no "city gate" at all. Both humans and demons must rely on the teleportation array in the city to enter and exit the wilderness.

In this way, with the coordination of dense prohibitions, Tianyuan City has avoided the possibility of foreign races infiltrating to the greatest extent.

Ye Ming looked at the city wall with flashing eyes for a moment, then turned his head to look in another direction. According to Shi Shi's introduction just now, the Undead Swamp was 20,000 miles away in this direction.

Because of the special terrain there, it can conceal the scanning of divine thoughts to a certain extent, so alien races often lurk there, serving as a bridgehead to monitor Tianyuan City.

Whether it is to advance and scout Tianyuan City, or to retreat from Tianyuan City into the wilderness, this is a good hiding place.
