Chapter 170: Chapter 123: Mysterious Turtle King Lake
Translator: 549690339
The task of escorting Ji Changfeng was a three-star task.
This meant that on the way to Tianyun City, there was a high possibility of encountering a Xuan-level Great Monster.
Su Nan was not too fearful, as he still had 16 uses of foreknowledge left!
“This is actually a good opportunity to head to Tianyun City.”
Due to Lang Thirteen’s role, he was destined to go to places with more players.
If there was a place with the most players, it would without a doubt be Tianyun City, the most important place in the entire Tianyun County.
Moreover, Tianyun County’s Tiangong Pavilion has a Divine Power Vein, which he needed, and the Bloodline Servant Imprint could also be purchased there.
Su Nan did not hesitate and made a swift decision.
But before that, he had one more thing to do.
With a flip of his hand, he took out the Li Fire Essence.
He hadn’t fed the Li Fire Essence with his fire power today, and once he went to the Demon Hunting Bureau, he might not have time to do so.
Wanting to refine the Li Fire Essence, it was clear that it could not be done in one or two days. Su Nan was prepared for long-term feeding.
One to two minutes later, most of his fire power had been swallowed by the Li Fire Essence, yet it showed no change.
Fortunately, he could faintly sense that his connection with the Li Fire Essence had grown stronger.
He could feel the joy coming from the Li Fire Essence, as if it was very satisfied with his fire power.
“I wonder if I can refine it now?”
Su Nan’s eyes flickered and he couldn’t help but try again.
[Under the nourishment of your fire power, the connection between you and the Li Fire Essence further strengthens, and you once again attempt to refine it.]
[You break the crystal containing the Li Fire Essence and then use your fire power to wrap it up, preparing to swallow it.]
[The Li Fire Essence consumes everything in its path, and its high temperature is unbearable. Even with the protection of your fire power, you struggle to withstand the heat while your fire power is rapidly consumed.]
[Not wanting to delay, you immediately swallow the Li Fire Essence.]
[However, the moment the Li Fire Essence enters your stomach, it struggles violently.]
[Your luck is terrible. The Li Fire Essence throws a tantrum inside you, burning you all over.]
[You died.]
Failure once again, even though he was prepared, Su Nan was still somewhat disappointed.
Helpless, he could only put away the Li Fire Essence, transform into Zhang Yang’s appearance, and head towards the Demon Hunting Bureau.
Upon seeing Zhang Yang again, the two guards at the gate didnt ask too many questions and immediately went inside to report.
Before long, Su Nan was invited into the Demon Hunting Bureau.
The guard led Su Nan to the lobby in the South Courtyard, where Ji Changfeng, still pale-faced, sat despondently in a Taishi chair.
Although he had changed into clean gray clothes, it couldn’t conceal his weak demeanor.
Feigning concern, Su Nan asked, “Senior, are you alright?”
Ji Changfeng forced a smile and said, “I’ve embarrassed myself in front of you, young friend. That pig demon was too strong. I was too arrogant and underestimated it.”
“Senior, you shouldn’t say that. Compared to demons, us humans are naturally at a disadvantage.”
Ji Changfeng sighed and shook his head, saying, “That’s true, but a defeat is a defeat. There is no excuse. It’s just a pity that my Demon Hunting Bureau is lacking in manpower.”
A task has arrived!
Su Nan immediately said, “Senior, while my strength and realm may not be high, I am at the Spirit Level. If there is anything I can do to help, please just give me the command.”
“Oh?” Ji Changfeng looked surprised and took a closer look at Su Nan.
As if just noticing Su Nan’s realm, he sighed, “For someone so young to already be at the Spirit Level, you definitely have a promising future.”
After saying this, Ji Changfeng hesitated for a moment before saying, “Actually, there is something I need your help with.”
“Please tell me.”
“Do you know what the Black Cloud Pig Demon stole from my Demon Hunting Bureau?” Ji Changfeng asked.
“I’m not sure.” Su Nan shook his head, pretending to know nothing.
Ji Changfeng explained, “The pig demon stole a treasure called the Green Gold Stone. This is related to the safety of Dongchen State and is of great importance. We must retrieve it as soon as possible.”
“Since the pig demon is a subordinate of the White Water Demon King, it would be much harder to retrieve the Green Gold Stone once it falls into the hands of the White Water Demon King.”
“I’m heavily injured right now and can’t accomplish this on my own. There are no powerful people in the surrounding counties, so the only option is to head to Tianyun City as quickly as possible and report the matter to the County Magistrate.”
“Young friend, would you be willing to escort me to Tianyun City?”
Su Nan had been waiting for this question.
He immediately said, “With Senior placing so much trust in me, how could I let you down? I will definitely ensure your safe arrival at Tianyun City.”
Ji Changfeng, instead of being happy at Su Nan’s words, looked serious and solemnly said, “You must think carefully about this. The journey from Nine Pavilion County to Tianyun City is long, and anything can happen along the way. One misstep could lead to death in the mouth of a demon.”
Su Nan declared righteously, “For the safety of our human race in Dongchen State, even at the cost of my life, I will make sure you reach your destination.”
Hearing this, Ji Changfeng’s eyes filled with gratification, and he laughed heartily, “Good! With you by my side, I can be at ease!”
“Once this matter is settled, I’ll definitely speak to the County Magistrate on your behalf. If you want to join our Demon Hunting Bureau, I can assure you that I’ll secure a good position for you.”
“In that case, I’ll have to thank you, senior.” Su Nan did not hold back either.
If Zhang Yang could join the Demon Hunting Bureau with this identity, it would certainly have a positive impact on his future actions..
