Xiangling:That Military Ration Pill looks amazing too! It can actually restore energy, and it's only twenty thousand points.
Keqing:Mm, after we redeem the Dual-Color Haki, we can get that next.
Hu Tao:Hey, you guys, look! There's a pet in the three-star treasures. It costs five million points, the same price as the Flame-Flame Fruit! Isn't that a bit of an exaggeration? It's just a tiny little ball.
Su Han:You fool, Koromon can evolve! When it reaches its Mega form, its combat power is terrifying.
Following his words, Hu Tao looked at the item description.
Sure enough, there was an evolution list below it.
Among them was Koromon's Mega form: WarGreymon.
Ningguang:Although it's powerful, the evolution cycle is a bit too long. It's not as fast of a power increase as the Flame-Flame Fruit.
Zhongli:Its appearance is quite majestic. If Liyue could raise one, I imagine it could deter many troublemakers.
Beidou:Why hasn't the mission refreshed yet? It feels like it's taking forever.
Su Han:Don't be impatient. The normal mission refresh is at eleven o'clock. It's only ten right now.
Hu Tao:Hehe, I see Captain Beidou can't wait to become the first Level 2 group member, can she?
Beidou:You saw right through me!
Time quickly passed as the group idled and chatted.
When the clock struck eleven, the mission finally refreshed.
[Ding! Mission cooldown has ended. A new Multiverse Mission is now being issued!]
[Mission]: Defeat the demonized Royal Jiangshi and ensure its complete death!
[Difficulty]: ★★★☆☆ (3-Star)
[Time Limit]: Thirty minutes to accept.
[Hint]: Originally a member of the frontier royalty, he was demonized by a lightning strike from the heavens, gaining an indestructible diamond body.
[Restriction]: The number of people killed by the jiangshi cannot exceed six, otherwise the mission reward will be downgraded.
[Note]: If the countdown ends before the mission is accepted, it will be considered automatically forfeited.
Hu Tao:It's a jiangshi mission again! I want to go, I want to go!
Last time, she had suppressed Mr. Ren.
Now that she had cultivated the Maoshan arts, she naturally wanted to take care of this royal jiangshi as well.
Beidou:Hey! Didn't we agree I would go? What's so great about an indestructible body? This old girl commands lightning!
Ningguang:You two, stop arguing. Let's hear what Su Han has to say and see who is more suitable.
Although Beidou was about to be promoted to a Level 2 member, this mission had a restriction.
They absolutely could not let the reward be downgraded.
If it was downgraded, it would become a two-star mission.
Su Han:This jiangshi was a member of the frontier royalty. It was transformed after being bathed in lightning during a thunderstorm on a high slope, gaining a nearly indestructible body. Defeating it isn't actually that hard. First, you can destroy it from the inside. Second, you can kill it with brute force. By the way, Hu Tao, your talisman arts will be useless against it. This jiangshi is immune to low-level talismans. It's better to let Beidou go. Her natural lightning has a certain advantage against jiangshi.
Hu Tao:Sigh, how boring. I wanted to show off a little. Besides, I have a lot of points now, too. (╥_╥)
Beidou:It's fate! I'll treat you to a meal later, big sister. I'm off!
Time waited for no one. The mission had to be completed as soon as possible.
After accepting the mission, Beidou vanished from The Alcor.
The view shifted, and she had already appeared in the world of the jiangshi.
A torrential rain was falling from the sky.
Suddenly, Beidou felt something and looked up.
"The lightning is about to appear."
Possessing an Electro Vision, she was naturally sensitive to lightning.
And the mission description had said that when the lightning descended, the jiangshi would be unleashed.
She had to be quick.
Beidou took a deep breath and began to run swiftly through the forest.
On a distant hillside, soldiers were transporting a coffin.
However, due to the rain, the ground had become incredibly slippery, making it very difficult to move forward.
Daoist Master Crane watched as the ink markings on the coffin dripped away, his heart filled with panic. He hurriedly said to the official in charge, "The inked threads are coming off! Can we let the jiangshi take shelter first?"
"No."
"But if we wait, then…"
"Waiting is fine, but not right now." The eunuch looked at the Daoist priest with contempt, completely ignoring his anxious expression.
The Little Prince had already been waiting in the rain for a long time and was soaked to the bone.
What did a jiangshi matter?
However, just as they went inside, the rain stopped.
Master Crane hurriedly directed the soldiers.
"Quick! Move the coffin into the tent!"
"Yes, sir!"
Four soldiers struggled to pull the coffin. Just as they were a few steps away from the tent, a bolt of lightning struck down.
The four soldiers died instantly on the spot.
What horrified Master Crane even more was that the coffin had burst open.
Crack. Crack. Crack.
The inked netting was torn to shreds.
The jiangshi slowly appeared before Master Crane.
"Not good! Quick, get the corpse-binding ropes!"
"On it!"
Several apprentices coordinated with Master Crane to temporarily restrain the jiangshi.
But they didn't know that this jiangshi had already become sentient and was practically indestructible.
It killed one of the apprentices with a single blow. Just as the jiangshi was about to continue its rampage, a figure appeared before it.
A massive greatsword slammed into the royal jiangshi, sending it staggering back.
Beidou looked at the dead people on the ground and let out a sigh of relief.
"Just in time. It almost reached the limit of six people."
This damn place had nearly gotten her lost. If not for the lightning strike, she really wouldn't have known where the enemy was.
How disgusting.
