Lord Xue Ying's

Chapter 16 – Mountains Range Desolation

Nightly.

Snow Eagle Territory, Snow Rock Castle, study room.

Dong Bo Xue Ying was sitting at his desk, Zong Ling and Tong San were sitting nearby.

"Xue Ying, why are you calling us?" Tong San asked, a little confused.

“I went to visit a great mage today. He agreed to accept Qing Shi as his personal disciple, but mentioned two requirements: we should bring him the Silver Moon Wolf King's heart or 50,000 gold coins. If we meet the requirements, he will accept Qing Shi. ”Say Xue Ying.

“50,000 gold coins?” Tong San frowned. “He was really black-hearted., Your parents, Uncle Zong and I risked our lives many times, but only obtained a few pieces of treasure. If not for the windfall after your mother got pregnant, how could your father have bought the title of Earl and Snow Eagle Territory? And this great magician dared to ask for 50,000 gold coins as if it was nothing? ”

This amount is completely excessive. Even a Meteor Knight was generally only able to afford this amount by selling all of his earthly treasures.

Adventurers often visit dangerous places, so the death rate is very high. Old man Xue Ying had the good fortune to survive, and they even managed to buy the peerage and the land that came with it! The reason that the other nobles in the Water Rite City never dared to plot against the Snow Eagle Territory, regardless of the possible advantages, was because Xue Ying's parents were adventurers; no adventurer was afraid of death, and they were all extremely ruthless.

"Getting the wolf king's heart is even harder." Said Zong Ling with a frown. "If it was only a rank four Silver Moon Wolf King, with Xue Ying's current strength, he might be able to take it down if we help him .. However, the wolf king led a large group of weaker wolves ... Their group's attacks were much more terrifying than the king's own attacks!

The wolf king is not particularly formidable if fighting alone, but his strength lies in the fact that a pack of giant wolves follow his every command!

Although the Silver Moon Wolf King was only a rank four magical beast, his corpse was no less precious than a rank five magical beast!

"I'm preparing to go to the Mountain Range of Desolation." Said Xue Ying.

"No-no"

"That's too dangerous!"

Tong San and Zong Ling shouted in unison, worried by his words ..

What is Mountain Range of Desolation?

It is the largest mountain range in the world, and connects the four provinces! It housed many magical beasts and even some transcendence existences. Even after several generations and generations of trying, the entire human empire still failed to completely wipe out this great threat. Moreover, the main defense forces were stationed around the magical beast mountain range! His troops often slaughtered large-scale low-ranking beasts at the edge of the mountain, so large-scale low-ranking beasts could be sold in the market.

As a result, ferocious beasts from first to third rank were relatively cheap, but from rank 4 and higher, the prices would start to rise exponentially! This was because rank 4 magical beasts could not be killed by ordinary soldiers. Only the elite elite could kill them.

"Even if large-scale troops were sent, the furthest distance they would get was just beyond the 1,500 kilometers perimeter of the mountains." Zong Ling continued to say. “Even the Silver Moon Knight and the Legendary Knight were unwilling to enter the Desolation Range Mountain Range. There is not much to be gained from entering the mountains, the deeper you go, the more likely you are to be able to meet a terrifying ferocious beast at any time! ”

"That's right Xue Ying." Tong San interrupted. “In our past adventures, we didn't even think of entering the Quiet Range Mountains! We also want to kill a rank 4 magical beast just like you, but you might not be lucky by chance for just meeting a rank 4 magical beast; You can even find rank 5 or 6 magical beasts! You will lose your life for sure if that happens! "

They're both very worried

The Mountain Range of Desolation?

It was the ultimate lair of the greatest enemy of all mankind, the 'miracle beast'! Entering it would truly risk one's life!

"You two don't let me finish." Xue Ying replied with a smile. “I intend to enter the Desolate Ruins Mountains, but only the outer 1,500 kilometers perimeter of the mountain range. Hunting ferocious beasts was only secondary; my main goal was to go hunting the Bent Blade Union! "

"Bent Blade Union?" Zong Ling and Tong San both opened their eyes in surprise.

Since the army regularly exterminated magical beasts in the perimeter, the magical beasts had already been pushed back. In general, only a large number of low-ranked magical beasts remained. Every time they were annihilated, it was actually a fight between soldiers and beasts, because there was always a never-ending flood of low-level beasts .. They would only appear in greater numbers from the depths of the Mountains. Desolation each time they were destroyed.

those 1,500 kilometers were the graves of many fallen soldiers, but they also served to make the soldiers into formidable experts.

"Bent Blade Union? The bandits were also hiding in the Mountain Range of Desolation, but they did not dare to venture deeper than the dividing line. ”Zong Ling nodded lightly. "In addition, the Head of the Crooked Blade Union was the Meteor Knight. He often greedily plundered, so the amount of treasure he stored should not be small. I'm afraid the more treasures there are in the bandit's lair, the harder it is to attack them. ”

“The enemy is out in the open while I am out of sight. Uncle Zong, how does my strength compare to Ge Bin? ”Xue Ying asked.

"You're much stronger than he is. I'll be able to stand on my ground only for a while if we fight, but if you fight with me, I won't even be able to hold my ground. ”Say Zong Ling with a bitter laugh.

Normally, Xue Ying possessed strength that reached the peak of the Meteor Knight.

When he used his explosive power, his strength would rise to the Silver Moon Knight realm!

His spear technique was approaching the Great Master realm, and the DouQi circulation was passed on by 'Mysterious Ice Knight' Gu Yuan Han!

"Your only weak point is that you see too little blood." Zong Ling reasoned. “Although you have executed all the villains in the Snow Eagle Territory, you still haven't experienced enough life or death battles. When you play with us, it's just sparring. ”

"It won't be easy to find Bent Blade Union's hideout."

Zong Ling was feeling uneasy. "You will definitely find many magical beasts during this task ... There's even a small chance that you might meet a formidable magical beast."

Although it was the outer limit of 1500km, they were extremely powerful - for example Transcendent! or a rank 6 magical beast would never appear. Yet rank 5 or 4 magical beasts ... Once upon a time one will definitely show up. The magical beasts would know that they would have no chance against the army and escape whenever the army tried to exterminate them. But if it was Xue Ying who went on an adventure in the mountains, a powerful magical beast would be able to ambush and kill him!

"My luck shouldn't be that bad," Xue Ying said. “After all, my spear technique is rather good for defense. It should have saved my life. ”

"After all, if I want to get 50,000 gold coins ..... how else would I get it if I don't head to the Mountain Range of Desolation?" Said Dong Bo Xue Ying while shaking his head.

If I don't want any risk?

If a Meteor Knight became a high ranking bodyguard for a wealthy family, he was perfectly safe. However, one's annual salary was also only around three to five thousand gold coins. If he wanted to earn a few thousand gold coins? Then he must definitely take a big risk.

"All right then." Said Zong Ling. "I'll go with you. At least, I've been to the perimeter a lot. ”

"You were there before Uncle Zong?" Xue Ying asked, his eyes widened in astonishment.

"Ens. After your parents bought the Snow Eagle Territory, I went to the outer regions of the Desolation Range Mountains to furiously cultivate myself. ”As a Serpentman noble, Zong Ling has her own pride. He was extremely hard on himself, and he had always wanted to break through from the Heaven rank to the Meteor rank.

"When you go to the Desolation Range Mountain Range, you should listen to your Uncle Zong, and don't be careless." Ordered Tong San.

　　……

After five days of preparation, Xue Ying and Zong Ling brought 100 soldiers and set off in the morning.

The castle bridge has been taken down.

"Sister, get home soon." Shouted Qing Shi from the top of the hill while Tong San stood by his side.

"Qing Shi, don't worry. Stay home and listen to what Uncle Tong has to say. ”Xue Ying yelled from a distance.

"I already know."

Qing Shi nodded heavily, but in his heart he was reluctant to part with Xue Ying.

Ever since she was young, she had never parted with her elder brother for too long. This time, his brother had to leave for at least ten days and up to half a month!

However, he did not know that this time around Xue Ying was for the sake of getting the 'college fee'.

Xue Ying and his cavalry division were extremely relaxed during their journey. When night fell, they were already only about 50 kilometers outside the edge of the Mountain Range of Desolation.

The cavalry began to set up camp.

They started hanging pots for cooking.

"The Old."

Xue Ying and Zong Ling were currently with someone whose face was a huge beard. This person is called Yang Cheng. He was an Earth Knight loyal to the Dong Bo Clan as well as the captain of this hundred-man army.

Zong Ling said, “Tomorrow morning, sir and I will enter the mountains. I'll leave this camp for you. ”

“Mr Zong Ling, Sir, you can leave it to me without worry. I can definitely handle this small matter to your satisfaction, but my lord, you must be careful. "Yang Cheng was worried. “When I was in the army, even though the army exterminated the ferocious beasts in the outermost area, it was the entire army that was sent. No one ever goes anywhere by themselves. Moreover, magical beasts that could hide the heavens and cover the earth without fear would come forward and kill the enemy ... Of the ten brothers who joined the army with me, only three or four retired safely. All the others died in the Desolation Range Mountains. "

Xue Ying nodded.

The Mountain Range of Desolation. Only exiled soldiers and bandits dared to enter his outer region. Just a little more daring effort!

　　……

The next morning, the sun began to rise.

While carrying the weapon box, Xue Ying secretly entered the Range of Desolation Mountain Range with Zong Ling. It was impossible to ride a horse in the Desolation Range Mountain Range, because even a slight sound from a horse would attract a terrifying magical beast.

"My lord, you must be careful!" Captain Yang Cheng and all the other soldiers anxiously watched the distant figure of the black-clothed young man and the silver-haired man leave. They continued watching until the two figures disappeared into the forest of the Range of Desolation.
