C3 Dark rodent
The Mercenary Guild's quest rankings were divided into: Apprentice Ranking, Ranger Ranking, and Employment Ranking.
The trainee rankings were mainly for daily chores and other tasks. Because the tasks were simple and there was no danger, the commission was relatively low. For example, what Yang Junyi had previously accepted was a mission that belonged to the Apprentice Ranking.
Most of the tasks listed on the Ranger Ranking were to go to various dangerous forbidden areas, hunt demon beasts, obtain demon beast parts required by employers, or to search for precious herbs and spirit plants.
Most of the final list included bodyguard missions such as shipping items or protecting the safety of the employer.
Standing below the mission ranking, Yang Junyi's gaze directly landed on the Ranger Ranking.
He didn't have much money on him now. Although the missions on the leaderboard weren't life-threatening, the reward was too little. If he ate sparingly then he would barely be able to live with what he needed. However, this way, the tuition fees needed for the next semester would definitely not be sufficient. For this reason, Yang Junyi could only set his goal to be the Ranger Ranking.
Danger often goes hand in hand with gain!
The Ranger Ranking mission was indeed dangerous, but the reward was very generous.
Yang Junyi believed that as long as he was careful, coupled with his proficient battle skills, he wouldn't face much danger.
Thinking to this point, Yang Junyi's hesitant gaze turned resolute.
"How can one become an expert without experiencing the baptism of fire and blood?"
"Ranger Ranking. My path to becoming a powerhouse will start from here!"
Staring resolutely at the first ranking on the Ranger Ranking, Yang Junyi turned around and walked towards the mission receiving area.
Arriving at the task receiving area, Yang Junyi removed the mercenary badge from his chest and said to the administrator, "Hello, could I trouble you to help me to receive the first mission on the Ranger List."
"Number one mission on the Ranger Ranking?" The supervisor received the mercenary medal from Yang Junyi and took out a list of tasks from the table. He read, "Dark Demon Rat's extermination mission?"
"The Dark Demon Rats in the underground sewers are a plethora of disasters. In order to prevent the rats disaster that happened 300 years ago from happening again, cultivators who hunt and kill Dark Demon Rats will be rewarded with 20 silver coins each. Requirements: Cultivators whose strength has reached Stage Three or higher Bronze can accept, this quest will never be sealed, it will be effective for a long time! Are you sure you want to receive this mission? " the administrator asked.
Yang Junyi nodded and firmly said, "Yes, I will trouble you to register it. Also, prepare a set of detailed information regarding the dark demon rat for me."
"Alright, please wait for a moment!" With that said, the manager lowered his head and began to handle the tasks for Yang Junyi.
"Alright, here is your mercenary medal and the details of the mission. Please accept them!" After the segment, the manager passed the mercenary medal and the information regarding the Dark Bloodthirsty Rat to Yang Junyi and reminded him, "After you kill the Dark Demon Rat, please leave the tip of its tail behind. We will determine the quantity you kill based on the amount of tail you have."
"Thank you!" Yang Junyi nodded, thanked him, and left the Mercenary Guild.
Dark Demon Rat, social Demon Beast. What made people afraid wasn't its strength, but its huge number of them. If he didn't move, that was fine. But if he moved, that was tens of thousands.
"…" Ordinary Dark Demon Rats only had the strength of low-rank ones, but there were a small number of Dark Demon Rats that were able to advance to become demon guard rats. As a guardian of the Rat King, their strength had reached mid-rank. And the Rat King, as the supreme ruler of the entire Dark Demon Rat King, has reached a terrifying upper rank, equivalent to the strength of a human being at Stage Nine of Brass. "
Looking at the detailed information on the Dark Demon Rat in his hand, Yang Junyi's expression became somewhat heavy. "The Dark Demon Rat is very aggressive, very fast and very sensitive. It is often discovered before one can even get close to it." In addition to the unique terrain of the sewers and the large number of beasts, the Dark Demon Rat King has become extremely difficult to deal with. "
"Fortunately, the defense of the Black Goblin Rat is extremely weak. Even a third phase Brass Cultivator can easily kill it with the assistance of a battle skill." With that, Yang Junyi walked out of the Mercenary Guild and headed towards a nearby stall that was known as the "Treasure Shop".
If he wanted to do something good, he would make use of it. Yang Junyi needed to make more preparations in order to hunt the Dark Demon Rat. Plenty of flint was needed in the dark sewers, not to mention the healing drugs needed in battles.
Three flint stones, two bottles of Blood-Activating Powder, and one Energy Recovery Pill. After strolling around the Treasure Shore, Yang Junyi used up all of his remaining 10 silver coins.
"Ai, if it wasn't for the lack of money, buying another set of armor would be perfect. But forget it, with the 'Shield Armor' protecting him, the difference won't be too big. " Clutching his equipment, Yang Junyi turned around and walked towards the sewer entrance.
"Shield Protection" is a battle technique exclusive to Earth elemental cultivators, and it has a very powerful defensive ability. Previously, Yang Junyi had used 'Shield Protection' to block the sneak attack from the mercenary.
There were a total of twelve sewage entrances in the entire Tianyun City, and each entrance was guarded by heavy soldiers.
Three hundred years ago, the mayor of the city had neglected this matter, which led to millions of Dark Demon Rats attacking from the sewers. If it weren't for the large amount of cultivators from the nearby cities helping them, the city would have been completely liberated. Otherwise, Tianyun City would have already fallen.
Even so, he could only chase the Dark Demon Rat back to the sewer.
For the past three hundred years, the city lord of Skycloud City had sent troops into the sewers in an attempt to completely exterminate the Dark Demon Rat. However, the sewers had long since been transformed by the Dark Demon Rat into a dangerous place.
Every time they sent out troops, they would suffer heavy losses. The harvest they reaped was very small.
Because of this, the city lord of the Heavenly Cloud City could only issue a mission to the Mercenary Guild so that the mercenaries could consume the strength of the Dark Demon Rat and stop its growth.
One had to know that the growth period of the Dark Demon Rats was very short, and they could give birth to more than ten at a time. If they were allowed to develop, then the tragedy three hundred years ago would inevitably happen again.
"The Tianwu Mercenaries have recruited people with the strength of at least the third phase of the Bronze rank. Everyone is invited to join in and create glory together!"
"Bronze rank 2 mercenary, fire type explosive cultivator, please form a team!"
"I am a Bronze-ranked level 1 mercenary, and I have the Gale Battle Skill, Gale Slash, and other battle skills, please lead the way!"
"A fifth phase mercenary, a water element fourth phase cultivator. I have rich experience in hunting dark demon mice many times, so I only received the last three spots. My friends who have not formed a team yet have to come quickly to register!"
At the entrance, a group of guards wearing armor emblazoned with the insignia of the Sky Cloud Martial School stood around the entrance with weapons in hand, maintaining order in the area.
As far as the eye could see, countless mercenaries were shouting loudly, requesting to form a team.
Hua Li's armor shone brightly in the sunlight. Sword, Sword, Shield and lance intersected as they moved. The thick smell of blood wafted in the wind.
Yang Junyi stared blankly at the magical scene in front of him, his heart trembling uncontrollably.
He gently raised his head and slowly closed his eyes.
A gentle breeze blew past his ears. It was as if Yang Junyi could hear the sounds of battle.
The battle drum pierced through the skies. Saber lights and sword shadows intersected each other, and blood dyed everyone's vision red!
Yang Junyi's body trembled uncontrollably. Battle qi boiled uncontrollably as the orange battle qi condensed rapidly.
Everyone present sensed Yang Junyi's abnormality and turned their heads to look over. All they saw was an orange-colored glow shining brightly, illuminating the entire world.
