NOVEL NEXT Chapter 33 The First Mission
Chapter 33 The first mission
Zhuo Bufan said something that made sense. They had just arrived at the August Tower and needed someone to lead them.
Although "Twelve" doesn't look very interesting, at least he came a few years earlier than Zhuo Bufan and the others, and he is more familiar with tasks than Zhuo Bufan and the others.
After teaming up with "Twelve", they came to the mission wall.
Looking at the dazzling array of bounty tasks posted on the five large panels in front of him, Duan Xinghe's eyes flashed with gold. These were all money!
"Wow, this Class A mission has a bounty of three million?"
Duan Xinghe took his first look at the bounty mission that ranked first on the Class A list.
There is a huge portrait on it. The man in the portrait has a face like a knife point, wearing a black cloak and showing two fangs.
Bounty target: Xue Wugou, deputy island owner of Blood Demon Island, the Seventy-two Demonic Islands
Cultivation: Peak of Silver Pill, Sixth Level of Divine Soul
Weakness: Afraid of light, usually only appears at night.
…
On the task list, there is some basic information about the bounty target, including identity, cultivation level, and weaknesses.
Duan Xinghe was shocked after reading the information.
"Xue Wugou, the thirty-sixth deputy island owner of the Seventy-Two Demon Dao Islands. I didn't expect that Shiji Shanhe would even dare to kill such a person!"
After the shock, a sense of excitement arose spontaneously.
Dare to kill the demonic elites, this Four Seasons Shanhe is worthy of being the number one killer organization in the world.
"The target is a strong person at the peak of Silver Core. It seems that I can't take on this task. Let's find another one." Duan Xinghe pondered.
"Don't think about it, that's not something a rookie like you can attempt. Well, I've already chosen a target, look at this."
Just when Zhuo Bufan and Duan Xinghe were debating on which task to choose, the "Twelve" ran under the E-level tasks, pulled out a task list, and showed it to Zhuo Bufan and Duan Xinghe.
"No way, level E? I thought no matter how bad it is, it should be level C."
"You don't know how to live or die, how dare you accept a C-level mission? You are just looking for death." Twelve shouted towards Duan Xinghe.
"I have been eyeing this task for a long time. The reward is generous, and the other party is a heinous bad guy with not very good cultivation. The three of us can easily kill him by joining forces."
"Then take this one, it's safer." Zhuo Bufan agreed with Twelve.
They are there to kill people, not to have fun. If you kill someone, it's either him or me who dies. Act within your capabilities.
"Tch, let me see what the mission is."
Duan Xinghe was a little dissatisfied with such an unchallenging task. He picked up the task list and looked at it.
The portrait on the task list is of a man as fat as a pig. He has a pointed head, a big face, black mouth and yellow teeth, and he looks a little disgusting.
Reward target: Zhu Biao, leader of Blackstone Village
Cultivation level: middle stage of body refining, third level of soul
Physique: Black pig body
Weaknesses: Greed, strong on the outside but weak on the inside
Bounty: 30,000 spiritual stones
After seeing the basic introduction of the task list, Duan Xinghe nodded slightly and said.
"The third level of the soul, as long as I join forces with Lao Zhuo, we can easily kill him. Is it too stingy for three people to take on this task?"
"Didn't you see, this guy is the leader of Blackstone Village. Besides him, there are many bandits. I am responsible for taking care of those bandits."
After Twelve finished speaking, he looked at Zhuo Bufan. He seemed to have figured out that Zhuo Bufan had more say than Duan Xinghe.
Seeing this, Zhuo Bufan sighed and said.
"Then let's take this!"
"Okay, I'll go get Sister Su Hong to register right away."
The twelve excitedly ran to the counter with the task list in hand.
Behind the counter, a woman with long red hair sat.
"Sister Su Hong, I want to take over the mission."
Twelve excitedly placed the task list on the counter.
After hearing this, Su Hong took a puff of old cigarette.
Then he puffed towards Twelve and the others, and the three of them were suddenly enveloped in the throat-piercing smoke.
"Cough cough cough..."
Everyone coughed and saw the woman in red lazily opening her eyes, looking at Zhuo Bufan and the others casually and saying.
"Are you sure you accept this mission?"
"Of course, sure, hurry up and register." Twelve couldn't wait.
After hearing this, Sister Su Hong stopped asking questions, took out a red book, found Zhu Biao's mission, and then wrote Zhuo Bufan's code names on it.
"This is the target location, I wish you success."
After the registration was completed, Sister Su Hong took a map and handed it to Zhuo Bufan and the others, and then the mission officially began.
"let's go!"
Twelve became inexplicably excited, took Zhuo Bufan with them, and headed to the negative floor.
The first floor below is not only the living room, but also the storage room for Fu Baozhou.
Because at sea, you can't drive the entire August Tower ship when you go on a mission.
Therefore, there are more than ten talisman boats in the August Tower Boat. This kind of talisman boat can accommodate up to three people, and only requires one level of soul to drive it.
Because they are located in the West Sea, the land is in the east. So the three of them headed straight towards the eastern coast.
"Hey, Twelve, who is Sister Su Hong? She shouldn't be a 'Risheng', right?"
Duan Xinghe, who was sitting on the bow of the boat, asked Twelve.
"Call me Senior Twelve." Twelve said angrily.
"Okay, okay, Senior Twelve, I just want to ask, do you know who Sister Su Hong is?" Duan Xinghe changed his words.
"Sister Su Hong is the person in charge of managing all the tasks of the August Tower, just like Sister Mo Qiu is in charge of managing the Sutra Pavilion. As for their identities, I don't know either."
"I only know that they were already on the ship before the first batch of Risheng arrived."
Zhuo Bufan listened at the stern and suddenly felt that these two people were not simple.
In the Four Seasons Mountains and Rivers, there is a strict hierarchy. The highest leader is the Holy Lord. Under the Holy Lord is the Four Seasons Hall Master, then the Twelve Floor Masters, and finally the 366 Risheng.
And Sister Mo Qiu and Sister Su Hong are neither Risheng nor the Moon Tower Master. As for the Four Seasons Hall Masters, there are only four in total, and it is impossible for both of them to be on the August Tower ship.
However, one of them controls the Sutra Pavilion and the other controls the Mission Hall. These two places are the most important institutions of the August Tower. Obviously, their identities are not simple.
"Don't guess blindly, or pay attention to the task in front of you! We are almost at the coast."
Twelve said, stood up and pointed to the distant east, and appeared in front of them as soon as they reached the coastline.
After arriving at the coast, the rune boat was hidden in a cave, and then the three of them took out the mission map and headed towards the destination.
One day later, they came to a place called Fugui Town.
And their target, Black Stone Village, was on a "Wild Boar Mountain" behind Fugui Town.
"Okay, in the next few days, we will collect information about the target in this Fugui Town. After sufficient preparation, start assassinating the target."
Twelve brought Zhuo Bufan and Duan Xinghe to an inn and said.
"What are you still investigating? Isn't it enough to just kill Black Stone Village?" Duan Xinghe said speechlessly.
"Stupid. We are assassins, not reckless men. Remember the three rules of assassins: one, the enemy is bright and we are dark; two, the enemy is weak and we are strong; three, the enemy is stupid and we are smart."
"Remember, no matter whether the opponent is strong or weak, we must fully understand him. Never underestimate your enemy, he may hide a secret skill that you don't know."
"As an assassin, you fight for your life. If you are not careful, you may lose your life in vain."
Twelve's words benefited Zhuo Bufan a lot.
When a lion fights a rabbit, it also uses all its strength. An unarmed person may have a killer weapon that you don't know about.
Just like Zhuo Bufan and the Crow Taoist. The Crow Taoist thought Zhuo Bufan was a harmless mortal, but he regretted it after his head fell.
"I understand. Well, we will each start collecting information about the target tomorrow, and then go back to the inn to sort it out at night."
Zhuo Bufan said to Twelve.
After hearing this, Twelve smiled and patted Zhuo Bufan's arm, saying, "Chu Ba, you are a guy, I like you."
Then he glanced at Duan Xinghe on the side and said, "Unlike some people, who do things without thinking and rushing around, they will lose their lives sooner or later."
"You, what do you mean by looking at me and saying some people? Are you talking about me?" Duan Xinghe screamed.
"So what, silly Chu Jiu, lulu lulu!" Twelve stuck out his tongue at Duan Xinghe, and then got into the inn.
"Ah, ah, stop right there. I'm going to beat you up."
Duan Xinghe immediately chased after him.
