C12 Reward of the Man in Black
Ling Tian once again dodged Wang Ba's saber as he thought to himself, "With this Dragon Scale Armor, if this goes on, I will definitely die under his blade!" Using his peripheral vision to scan the surroundings, he realized that he was being surrounded like a metal barrel. However, when his gaze landed on an attic, Wang Ba's angry face no longer wanted to continue wasting time with Ling Tian. He immediately ordered, "Attack!"
In an instant, dozens of spears and swords flew towards Ling Tian. A long spear appeared in front of Ling Tian as he shouted, "Good timing!" With a leap, he stepped onto the spear and stepped on the guard's shoulder, heading straight up to the pavilion.
When they reached the attic, he turned around and said with a smile, "I won't be accompanying you then!" He immediately started running towards the west.
Seeing that he had run away like this, in a fit of anger, Wang Ba stabbed his saber into the chest of the spear guard. The rest of them were scared to the point that their faces turned pale, unconsciously backing up a few steps.
Looking in the direction that Ling Tian ran in, he said angrily, "Let's see where you can run to! Chase after him!"
Ling Tian quickly drove away and soon arrived at the western city wall. He saw that the walls of the mountain were firmly surrounded by lush weeds. "But, looking carefully at the gap behind a long, tree-like plant, he dived in without hesitation.
Wang Ba's group chased them all the way to the west side of the city, but they did not find Ling Tian. Wang Ba looked around and found traces of blood on the ground, so he squatted down to touch it. Keep chasing! We must catch them! "
Ling Tian ran out of the secret passage and found the blood drops on the ground as well. He followed the trail of blood and arrived at the back of the mountain. However, if he thought about it carefully, "That's good. Wang Ba definitely doesn't know which direction she escaped in." He could be considered relieved.
Seeing the menacing torches approaching from behind, he didn't dare to stop and ran towards a large mountain. Soon, he disappeared into the dark night.
Wang Ba followed the trail of blood all the way to where Ling Tian had been. Squatting down in silence for a while, the guard behind saw that Ling Tian had disappeared, and walked up to him asking, "Head Steward, what should we do now, should we still chase?"
Wang Ba stood up, looked at Big Mountain and said: "Today is your lucky day! Next time, if you let me meet you again, hmph! " The saber landed on a large tree.
After running into the mountain, Ling Tian had exhausted too much of his energy. Leaning against a tree, he panted heavily. Looking back, he did not see any torches. His heart relaxed as he sat upright on the ground. This night was really too tiring. As soon as he sat down, he immediately fell asleep.
In the early morning, a flock of birds were chirping in the forest, Ling Tian used his hand to cover his eyes that had been pierced by the sun, slowly opening them, standing up and looking around, opening up the map, seeing that there was a mountain nearby the imperial city, he found a small stream, washed his face, drank a little, then felt that his stomach was too weak, after walking around the mountain, the food was already in his hands.
In an empty space, Ling Tian was eating barbecue, his mind still wondering about what happened last night, "Where did Leng Xingmeng flee to? Why is there no trace of blood on the ground? With her speed, how can she run so fast? Who could this person be? How could he be at the back of the mountain and even save Leng Xingmeng? "
After filling his stomach, he didn't think too much and sighed, "As long as she can leave safely, I will be at ease. Right now, I just need to hurry to Lin Huang City and inform City Lord Xiao Jingpeng, and see if there are any mercenary groups going to Fenghua Mountain." He stamped on the fire and quickly left for the next mountain range.
After entering the mountain range, due to the exhaustion of his physical strength, his speed returned to normal. At this time, a black-clothed person suddenly appeared in front of Ling Tian. Ling Tian was startled as he held his two swords and asked, "Who are you?"
The black clothed man did not turn back as he laughed at Ling Tian, "Haha! Boy! I admire your courage, you even threw away your life for the sake of a beautiful woman, yet you actually managed to escape from the hands of Wang Ba, not bad, haha! It's really not bad! " From the sound of it, it was probably an old man.
Ling Tian then asked, "Senior, are you the one who saved Leng Xingmeng last night?"
The black-clothed person did not answer him. He only said, "Knowing who I am is not good for you, so there's no need for you to ask any further. Seeing your courage worthy of praise, I specifically came to give you something. After saying that, he threw down a brocade box and flew away on the tree.
Ling Tian went over and picked up the embroidered box. Opening it, he saw a golden colored pill. Absorbing a large amount of spiritual energy from the divine medicine can instantly raise a character's level and attributes. "
Looking at the Primeval Pill, Ling Tian said in shock, "In the past, I had to obtain a Primeval Pill and do a very difficult mission in order to exchange for one from Leng Tiexin. Could it be that the person in the dark just now was... Leng Xingmeng's father, Leng Tiexin! No wonder it could save Leng Xingmeng, that's not right! Didn't his pill forging go berserk? Why would he appear here? Could the legend be fake? "
Looking at the embroidered box, he thought about how there were so many mysterious things appearing recently. However, when he saw the Primordius Pill, he did not think too much and said with a smile, "This can't be fake!" After consuming it, he felt an inexhaustible energy in his body. After several notifications, he slowly recovered.
He opened up his attributes: Ling Tian, Human Level: 19, Assassin HP: 17600, Magic Value: 9600, Attack: 435, Magic Strength: 8400, Defense: 320.
He opened the skill window: Grasping an active skill, Qing Gong, can only be used in the Swift Walk state. It consumes a lot of stamina.
Active Skill, Stealth. Master the art of Assassins. Enter the formless state. When taking the initiative to attack, the user will be revealed.
Active skill, doppelganger. Using one doppelganger to sneak attack the enemy, one could also switch positions with the doppelganger.
Seeing that he had suddenly learnt so many techniques, Ling Tian was overjoyed. He ran at a fast speed and separated himself from the ground, flying in the air to check out the forest before him. He discovered a wild wolf descending and activating its stealth state, slowly approaching the wild wolf without it noticing, and thought to himself, "What a heaven-defying skill!" He controlled one of his doppelgangers to attack the back of the wild wolf. With a Shadow Clone Technique, the wild wolf fell down unconscious.
After a moment of secret joy, he kept his two swords and flew towards the imperial city.
Because Qing Gong had consumed too much energy, his level was not too high. After flying for a while, he could no longer endure it. He landed on the ground, turned around and sighed: "Qing Gong's speed is much faster than his speed."
After walking for half an hour, they finally saw the Imperial Palace.
After arriving at the city gates, they once again entered the city, but there were many more guards than the Beheading City. On each side there were eight guards, and they also brought a captain, who was to search in two rows. Ling Tian, who was at the back, entered the city in a short while, and after entering the city, he found a repair shop to repair his equipment, then after finishing his meal, headed towards the palace.
Arriving at the entrance of the palace, before Ling Tian could approach, a group of guards had already surrounded him, shouting, "Who are you!? What are you doing in the palace? "
Ling Tian cupped his hands and said, "I found Xiao Jingpeng's faction at the Floating Cloud Mountain and came to report."
A soldier with a dignified appearance walked in front of Ling Tian and asked, "Are you talking about Sean's son, Xiao Jingpeng?"
Ling Tian said, "That's right!"
The soldiers ordered the rest of the men to retreat before saying to Ling Tian, "Please follow me!"
Arriving at the main hall, the soldier ordered Ling Tian to wait at the entrance as he himself entered to report. In a moment, Gao Chengwu came out wearing a dragon robe and sat down.
The soldiers had just come out and respectfully invited Ling Tian into the hall.
Ling Tian then entered the hall and cupped his hands, "This humble one pays his respect to the mayor!" However, he did not kneel down.
Seeing how bold Ling Tian was, the soldier at the side shouted out, "Why don't you kneel before the mayor!"
At this time, Gao Chengwu said, "No need! "You can leave first. Brave Warrior, explain the situation in detail."
Ling Tian then told the whole story to Gao Chengwu. Upon hearing Ling Tian's explanation, Gao Chengwu frowned and said angrily, "So this thief is hiding at the Floating Cloud Mountain and still wants to restore the country? Hmph! Someone come! "
The soldier who had just entered the palace knelt down on one knee and said, "His subordinate is here!"
Gao Chengwu said, "Pick all the elites from the army and post a copy of it in the city. We will set off from Floating Cloud Mountain in the next day and kill Xiao Jingpeng!"
The soldier replied, "Yes! Your subordinate will do it right away! " With that, he bowed and left the hall.
At this time, Ling Tian opened his mouth and said, "Since the mayor already knows about this, I will take my leave now." She turned to leave as well.
Seeing that Ling Tian was so indifferent to fame and fortune, Gao Chengwu did not even ask for a reward. He shouted out, "Warrior, please wait!"
Ling Tian then turned his head to look at Gao Cheng, "What else does the mayor want?"
Gao Chengwu walked down from his throne and stood in front of Ling Tian. After sizing him up for a while, he patted Ling Tian on the shoulder and said, "Not bad! A talented person! "What's your name?"
Ling Tian then replied, "I am called Ling Tian!" May I know what the City Lord wishes to do? "
Gao Chengwu nodded and smiled, "En! Good! Someone! Go to the Treasure Vault and get the Gold Threaded Armor! "
When Ling Tian heard this, he was stunned. He thought to himself, "It's just a report. To actually give me the Golden Silk Armour, isn't that too magnanimous?"
After a while, a maid walked over to Gao Chengwu and bowed. Gao Chengwu took the golden mail and walked over to Ling Tian with a smile, "Come to Ling Tian! Change it! "
Ling Tian took over the golden silkmail and said emotionally, "Thank you for your gift, City Lord!" Open Attributes Bar: Golden Silk Armour uses tens of thousands of golden spider webs, it has magic properties, will rebound when attacked by physical attacks, is immune to ice, and is ineffective against fire.
After changing, Ling Tian was truly a frog turning into a prince. At this moment, his hair was already medium and long, and he looked slightly old, but his face was still cold and handsome.
When Gao Chengwu saw Ling Tian put on the gold-threaded armor, he was filled with admiration and wanted to give it to him as an official. Ling Tian rejected him on the spot, "Ling Tian only wants to have a peaceful life under the heavens, he never wanted to be an official."
Gao Chengwu felt as if he had a compulsion. Seeing Ling Tian's refusal, he continued, "Then I'll give you the title of an unofficial without any facts, hmm …" After thinking for a while, he smiled and said, "Then I'll seal your mind. In the future, you don't need to report. You can enter and leave the palace freely, but don't refuse."
Seeing that he had no other choice, Ling Tian cupped his hands and said, "Then Ling Tian can only obey."
Gao Chengwu smiled and said, "That's more like it. If you need anything in the future, just come find me!"
Ling Tian cupped his hands, "Many thanks City Lord, if there's nothing else, then Ling Tian will take his leave." With that, he walked out of the palace.
After exiting the palace, Ling Tian arrived at the Mercenary Group and checked the rankings. He saw a team going to Fenghua Mountain tomorrow to register and pay the silver and find an inn to stay for the night.
