"You country bumpkin, you don't even know what the Nine Netherworld Fire Beast is!"
You can tell who's speaking just by listening to their voice, without even looking.
Lu Yuan ignored Ye Shengnian, that idiot, and instead stared intently at Gong Yuehan.
This is to signal the other party to answer.
Gong Yuehan felt a little embarrassed and blushed as Lu Yuan stared at her like that.
I also felt a slight heartbeat.
"The Netherfire Beast is a D-level magical beast that lives on the Red Cover Mountain, which is over 100 kilometers away."
"The Nine Netherworld Fire Beast is a social magical beast, but it is only a D-rank. As long as we don't go too deep, we are basically not in any danger."
"The mission is to collect twenty heads of the Nine Netherworld Fire Beasts."
"Moreover, the reward is quite good, with ten soul crystals. Most importantly, it's a repeatable mission. As long as you can kill the enemy, you can submit the mission repeatedly."
Duplicate submission? Lu Yuan thought of a word: bug!
"So, are there many people taking on this task?"
At this moment, Zhao Qiang, whose pet egg had probably stopped acting up, came over and asked a question.
This is also the question Lu Yuan wanted to ask.
Gong Yuehan shook her head and began to explain.
"There shouldn't be many people to pick up. To get to Chigai Mountain, you have to pass through a county town, and that county town hasn't been captured yet."
"Therefore, you might encounter mutated beasts or zombies."
"That's why the rewards for this mission are so generous!"
The mention of zombies immediately changed Lu Yuan's expression, reminding him of the time when the apocalypse had just begun.
He was so close to being eaten by a zombie; if it weren't for Zhao Qiang, he would be...
That's right, the apocalypse had just broken out that day.
Lu Yuan was drinking at Zhao Qiang's place when the apocalypse suddenly struck.
Unaware of what was happening, Lu Yuan, having drunk too much, went to relieve himself. As soon as he stepped outside, he encountered a half-naked woman who pounced on him.
Lu Yuan thought he had a romantic encounter, but he realized something was wrong when the female zombie got closer.
The woman was in a terrible state; half of her body was gone, and her face was a bloody mess. He was completely stunned.
In his nervousness, he, who hadn't wet his pants in nearly twenty years, wet himself in fear.
If Zhao Qiang hadn't heard the commotion and run out, Lu Yuan might have turned into a zombie long ago.
From that moment on, Lu Yuan would tremble at the mere mention of zombies.
Although he had seen zombies countless times during the year since the apocalypse, he would always recall his first experience.
This has become a normal reaction.
"Coward, wimp!"
Lu Yuan tolerated Ye Shengnian again and again, not because he was afraid of causing trouble, but because he didn't want to bother with such a petty person.
However, in Ye Shengnian's view, Lu Yuan was afraid of him.
That's why they keep mocking and provoking us.
"Ye Shengnian, why are you everywhere?"
"We're talking to each other, what are you doing here?"
Ye Shengnian was so embarrassed by Yu Huanshui's retort that his face turned red.
Ye Shengnian really couldn't refute this, but he had his own way of doing it.
His eyes darted around, and then he looked at Cai Zhiying, who was following behind him eating farts.
"Cai Zhiying, why don't we team up and take on this mission?"
Cai Zhiying was overjoyed; she had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, so she nodded her head like a chicken pecking at rice.
"Brother Nian, I'm willing!"
"However, this Nine Netherworld Fire Beast is a D-level monster, and I'm afraid I can't handle it."
Ye Shengnian quickly patted his chest.
"It's okay, I've got your back!"
"I'm not like some men who are afraid of zombies."
Ye Shengnian spoke meaningfully, then glanced at Lu Yuan.
"Yes, Brother Nian is the best."
Cai Zhiying's eyes were full of admiration, and her little stars were twinkling.
Lu Yuan ignored this idiot, guessing that Ye Shengnian probably used a lot of 2B pencils when he was in school.
Lu Yuan will kill this idiot sooner or later, but now is not the time.
Ignoring Ye Shengnian, she looked at Gong Yuehan again.
"How many of us should take on this mission?"
Gong Yuehan originally wanted to say it was just the two of them, but considering that Lu Yuan would definitely bring Zhao Qiang along, she changed her mind.
Yu Huanshui will definitely be going too, so it's good that there are four of them.
"How about the four of us then?"
Four people, no more, no less, which was exactly what Lu Yuan wanted, so the two hit it off immediately.
"Okay! It's decided then."
"We can see if there are any other jobs along the same route that we can take together."
"After all, it's over a hundred kilometers, and it takes some time to get there."
"Huanshui, you take Zhao Qiang to purchase supplies now. Yuan and I will see if there are any good missions along the way."
So, Yu Huanshui and Zhao Qiang were sent away.
The two then looked around casually, with Gong Yuehan doing most of the talking and asking questions, while Lu Yuan listened and occasionally offered some suggestions.
Watching the two of them chatting and laughing, Ye Shengnian's eyes gradually turned vicious.
Ye Shengnian's expression only returned to normal after he saw Lu Yuan and Gong Yuehan leave.
"Let's go and get ready."
After Ye Shengnian finished speaking, he left the mission hall without waiting for Cai Zhiying.
Yu Huanshui was quite efficient; they returned shortly after Lu Yuan and the other man went back to their residence.
After checking everything out, the four of them ate something quickly and then set off.
Not long after the four left, Ye Shengnian set off with Cai Zhiying.
"Brother Lu, your pet is really beautiful. Is it a mutated male?"
"Brother Lu, how old are you this year?"
"Brother Lu, you..."
Along the way, Yu Huanshui kept asking questions, and Lu Yuan could only give them vague answers.
Unable to listen any longer, Lu Yuan decided to change the subject.
"Qiangzi, has your pet hatched yet?"
Zhao Qiang shook his head.
But that's not important; Lu Yuan's main purpose was to interrupt Yu Huanshui's incessant chatter.
The four walked and talked, thankfully this place had been reclaimed by humans.
There was basically no danger along the way. Gong Yuehan rented a minivan, which made the journey much faster.
We finally arrived at the outskirts of Ping'an County in the evening.
This Ping'an County is not the Ping'an County of Li Yunlong, so naturally there is no Second Battalion Commander and Italian cannon.
"Brother Yuan, Ping'an County is just ahead."
"This car can't be driven, otherwise it will definitely attract zombies."
Gong Yuehan stopped the car and pointed ahead, explaining.
Lu Yuan had a question he didn't understand, so he wanted to ask him to clarify it.
"Since this place is so close to the Tai'an settlement, why not take Ping'an County?"
"Given the strength of the Tai'an settlement, taking Ping'an County shouldn't be too difficult, right?"
Gong Yuehan nodded, then shook her head.
"It's not difficult to take it down, but they won't actually do it."
"The reason is actually very simple: the military has not many weapons and ammunition left, and it also has to guard against being stabbed in the back by other three forces."
"So there was no attack here, but that has its advantages."
Lu Yuan was taken aback.
"Benefits? What benefits?"
