Chapter 120 Chapter 120
After completing the preliminary selection task in a matter of minutes, Xia Muqing didn't want to waste any more time. She waved to the man next to her who was still having a headache and said, "Thanks, uncle. I'm off now. Good luck!"
The uncle was stunned for a moment before looking at her in surprise: "You...got the mission?"
"It's so easy to grab," Xia Muqing said with a smile, "Not many people are taking the missions I've chosen."
This was true. She certainly looked down on those B-level and C-level tasks, but A-level and S-level tasks did not disappear as quickly as other tasks - giving up the tasks would result in point deductions, and it would also waste time and energy. Therefore, unless candidates were absolutely confident in their own level, they would tend to be conservative.
And after confirming that the assessment method is a points system, which not only does not allow beastmasters to attack each other but even encourages small-scale cooperation, Xia Muqing no longer needs to hide her shortcomings.
She patted the little hurricane dog's head and said, "Xiaofeng, evolve! We have to hurry."
The Gale Dog leaped up, a dazzling white light flashed, and the brave and mighty Feng Luo Lord appeared in front of the uncle.
Its pure white fur shimmered like snow, and its flowing navy blue lines seemed to come alive. The moment it appeared, the wind between heaven and earth stagnated for a moment, as if all things held their breath.
Mysterious energy overflowed, a whirlwind swirled around, and the momentum and grandeur instantly reached their peak. The uncle next to him was unable to react in time, his eyes wide open.
Why does this handsome big wolfdog look so familiar?
It's like, it's just been a while ago...
“Bang!”
The uncle slapped his thigh hard.
By the way, isn’t this the new mythical beast that was all the rage on the Internet some time ago?
Wow, the "school student" girl he had been chatting with for most of the day turned out to be a hidden beast user?
"I actually treated her like a rookie!"
The uncle's mood was extremely complicated. Thinking of what he had just said in front of Xia Muqing, he suddenly felt embarrassed and his face turned red.
Fortunately, fortunately he just complained too much and didn't really do anything stupid to bully the newcomers, otherwise he would not only be embarrassed, but would also be kneeling on the ground crying.
However, this is already the third Divine Beast Master to take the test...
"Hiss, this year's assessment is truly terrifying. It's no exaggeration to say there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers. I wonder if there's a fourth or fifth person hidden among the others..."
After mumbling a few words, the uncle remembered something and his face suddenly darkened again.
"Oh my god, doesn't that mean there are no more three spots?"
He's cracked!
…
While the uncle's mentality was collapsing, Xia Muqing took advantage of the fact that the others were still in a daze and quickly jumped onto the back of Lord Feng Luo with a few mysterious beasts.
“Ouch—”
Lord Feng Luo whistled softly, and activated his skill "Treading on the Moon". He stepped gracefully on the bright moon and breeze, and his figure rushed towards the sky in an instant.
By the time the other candidates reacted, they could only see a black figure in the distance.
The surging waves had only just begun to dissipate, demonstrating just how swift Lord Feng Luo was. The others shielded themselves from the oncoming wind with their hands, gazing admiringly into the distance. "Wow! When can I become a Divine Beast Master?"
Another person next to him interrupted him rudely: "Stop dreaming and get down to business! Hurry and grab the quests! If you wait any longer, you'll have to do S-rank quests with the Divine Beast Master!"
“!!!”
At the same time, Guan Yun and Xue Yao also noticed the distant light.
Both of them were very strong and had good eyesight. Although they did not see Lord Feng Luo appear, they were able to confirm the other party's strength at a glance by relying on the whistling Xuanliu.
"I didn't expect that there would be such an amazing number one among this year's candidates."
Xue Yao just sighed when he saw Guan Yun's lips curled up and his eyes became a little warmer.
"Yes, there is actually such a person."
She folded her sleeves up and down, pulling them up to reveal her smooth arms. Her whole body was filled with enthusiasm and excitement. "That mysterious beast looks very powerful. I really want to fight her... Hmm, is that the Colored Stone Beach?"
As he spoke, Guan Yun quickly scanned the task list, without carefully selecting them, and quickly accepted several of them with five fingers clicking.
Immediately, she clapped her hands and said, "Witch Shadow Beast!"
A shadow-like mist surged out from under her feet. The next second, Guan Yun's figure was wrapped by the witch shadow beast and rushed quickly in the direction where Xia Muqing left. The speed was so fast that it seemed as if he stepped on a jet.
Xue Yao was stunned by this scene: "No way, you want to fight her during the assessment period?"
"Hey, hey crazy woman, do you still remember our points race?"
Guan Yun's clear voice came from the wind, like a distant echo: "Absolutely - no impact!"
Xue Yao: “…”
"How could it not have an impact?"
Xue Yao was so angry that smoke came out of his nostrils. He shouted loudly: "You didn't take the competition I mentioned seriously at all? You ignored everything else when you saw the battle. You really haven't changed at all in all these years!"
He looked at the project list angrily: "Colored Pebble Beach... Ha, isn't it just Colored Pebble Beach? At worst, I'll take the task of Colored Pebble Beach."
"S-level mission, go ahead!"
…
After crossing a vast desert, the first thing that appeared in Xia Muqing's eyes was a mountain forest.
The sparse branches and leaves were a common coniferous forest in northern Blue Star. Flakes of white snow accumulated on the tips of the pine needles, and the terrain was steep and undulating. The Wind Luo Lord hovered above the forest, looking along the snow-white branches of the pine trees. Xia Muqing could see towering hills in the distance.
"The colored stone beach is over there on the hill," Ark Xiaoxue's indicator light kept flashing, pointing Xia Muqing in the direction, "Ten o'clock direction, go 5 kilometers and you will be at the foot of the hill."
Xia Muqing nodded and glanced at the locator. "There are quests in the forest that can be completed along the way, right? Let me take a look... A B-level quest, to obtain a blue parrot fighting bird feather?"
The task that Ark Xiaoxue selected for her was indeed the most suitable one.
There were many B-level quests, but the difficulty and time required were often inversely proportional. For example, next to this quest, Xia Muqing also saw a "Pick 100 Silver Pine Cones" quest. Picking silver pine cones was certainly much easier than challenging the Blue Parrot, but searching for all 100 of them one by one would take at least a day.
As for how to find the Blue Parrot Bird...
Xia Muqing touched her chin, looked up at the endless snow forest, raised her hand and patted the little koi beside her: "Xiao Jin, rapid impact."
The koi fish leaped up, and the water vapor around its body condensed, spraying out a torrent.
Now, the torrent's impact was far greater than before. The water meandered through the forest like a stream condensed in mid-air, sweeping away the snow in the pine forest along its path, revealing the original lush green of the coniferous forest.
Amidst the white light, a pale green bond emerged.
Wherever the water flowed, a mysterious energy filled with warmth and healing power lingered. The pine trees on both sides absorbed this energy and began to tremble and shake their branches, growing more than half a meter taller in an instant.
"Squeak—squeak—"
The branches and leaves grew taller, and a rustling sound was heard. Some mysterious beasts huddled in the branches and tree holes among the leaves curiously popped their heads out, sniffing the air with their sensitive noses.
...It's a strange smell.
It's an outsider!
Deep in the forest, a small, dark blue bird also sensed the presence. It shook its neck, its eyes suddenly becoming intense. Its body, freshly awakened from a deep sleep, didn't slack off in the slightest. It flapped its wings and soared high into the sky.
“Chiu!”
Outsiders! Come and fight, come and fight, come and fight!
The moment it took off, it was as if a meteor streaked through the snow forest, with shining fragments of light lingering around it, especially the three feathers on its head swaying in the wind. The azure color seemed like the deep sky, and there was a round false eye in the center of the feathers. At this moment, as the blue parrot was full of fighting spirit, it gradually began to shine, like the finest sapphire, or like the twinkling stars in the center of the night sky.
The aura of the blue parrot fighting bird is very conspicuous, and Xia Muqing can see it easily - this kind of mysterious beast is the most aggressive, and likes to fight when encountering a strange and powerful mysterious beast, so there is no need to search everywhere in the vast forest, just release your own aura to lure the opponent to appear.
Moreover, the Blue Parrot Bird has a magical property called "exchange".
This characteristic has affected their personalities, causing them to also like fair trade very much. If the mysterious beast fighting against it is defeated, it must agree to a request of the Blue Parrot Fighting Bird.
Correspondingly, if the blue parrotbirds lose, they will also agree to a condition of their opponent.
Of course, the prerequisite is that the aura of the mysterious beast must be strong, otherwise the blue parrot fighting bird will not be interested at all. It would rather bury its head in the nest and sleep soundly, and will not pay any attention to the movement outside.
When she thought of this, Xia Muqing couldn't help but sigh: "Xiaoxue is really amazing. She really picked the tasks that are most suitable for me."
"Come on, little blue parrot, let's fight. I have three mysterious beasts here, the Wind Luo Monarch, the Koi Fish, and the Yin-Yang Butterfly. Which one do you want to PK?"
The blue parrot flew in front of her, tilted its head, and a faint light flashed in its bright blue pupils as it glanced at Feng Luo Lord, the koi fish, and the Liangyi Butterfly one by one.
It is a second-level mysterious beast and is considered a very powerful existence in this forest. However, when the Blue Parrot Fighting Bird met the dark blue eyes of Lord Feng Luo, its whole body trembled, its pupils suddenly shrank, and it subconsciously turned away its little head.
The Blue Parrotfinch is aggressive, but it is not stupid.
Lord Feng Luo's aura is too strong, it's probably impossible for it to defeat him.
But as for the other two, one was an unevolved koi fish and the other was a tiny butterfly. After taking a few glances, the blue parrot bird felt bored.
“Chiu!”
You don't have many weapons.
Xia Muqing said with a smile, "Not necessarily. Take this little koi for example. If you really fight it, you might not win."
“Have you forgotten the breath just now? That was not the breath of Lord Feng Luo, but its.”
The blue parrot fighting bird was shocked when it heard this and looked at the koi fish in disbelief.
Take a closer look - you're not mistaken, it's indeed an unevolved koi fish.
If the koi fish were left on the colorful stone beach, they would be hunted by large mysterious beasts as food!
But the scent that had just lingered in the forest was vigorous and majestic, like a swirling deep current, and it also reminded it of rock-solid peaks. The blue parrot bird flew to the koi fish, carefully sensed it for a moment, and flapped its wings—yes, it was this scent.
“Chiu!”
It looked like a truly unique koi fish. As for a water-type mystical beast, it had surely come here for the "miracle" of Colored Stone Beach. Well, it admitted it had just made a mistake and decided to PK this koi fish.
Xia Muqing: “……?”
Wait, what did the Blue Parrot Fighting Bird just say?
The miracle of Pebble Beach?
