Chapter 111 Reward
Before leaving, Sun Zecheng deliberately released the sensing beads to check in, and then used magic to make it rain, completely destroying all traces on the ground.
Sun Zecheng then activated an invisibility talisman once again, turned into a transparent man again, and left silently, but he did not go far. There were three trees not far away. Sun Zecheng chose the shortest one and sat on it silently to observe the subsequent reactions.
A quarter of an hour later, a small group of demon monks rushed over from the surrounding area, and were dumbfounded when they arrived at this former battle site.
The punishment of the magic sect was severe. My team came to support as soon as we received the message. In less than two quarters of an hour, five people in our team were wiped out. There was also a rain at the scene, which was obviously caused by magic, destroying all traces of the battle. Apart from that, nothing was left.
The leader of this team is an elderly man in the late stage of foundation building and is very experienced. Even though everyone has a shield and even though he can't see any enemies, he still orders everyone to use defensive magic weapons, as if he is facing a formidable enemy.
Afterwards, more demon monks came from farther away. Even half an hour later, many monks from the demon camp arrived at the place where the battle had taken place.
Pang Long from the Yuling Sect was one of the monks who rushed over from the main camp. His beloved companion beast died, and now he has replaced it with a level two monster, the Iron-backed Green Wolf. The drastic drop in combat power has made him extremely unconfident. Fortunately, this Iron-backed Green Wolf has a talent of smell, which is very useful for tracking and guarding.
Pang Long, whose strength had dropped precipitously, naturally did not come alone. He came with two fellow disciples from the Yuling Sect.
To Pang Long's disappointment, the Iron-backed Blue Wolf sniffed the scene repeatedly but was unable to find the direction to track!
Not only could he not find his second-level monster Iron-backed Green Wolf, but even his two fellow third-level monsters Ghost-faced Eagle and Mountain-piercing Wind Flying Snake could not find the direction to track him.
After a few words of discussion, the three of them drove the monster to expand the circle to search for traces, but still found nothing. The three of them could only look at each other in bewilderment.
In fact, when they drove their spirit beasts to expand the circle to search, they were only a few feet away from Sun Zecheng's position. But it must be said that Xuanle's red scarf was really useful. Eagles flew by, wolves walked by, and snakes flew by, but none of them could find Sun Zecheng nearby. The Moon-shaking Sect had been suppressing the Spirit Beast Mountain for thousands of years, and it was not luck that counted.
Before they knew it, more than thirty demonic cultivators had gathered at the scene. They were all at a loss and the atmosphere was depressing.
Sun Zecheng continued to observe calmly. At this time, two more groups of people arrived.
Sun Zecheng looked around.
One group was led by a green-robed man and a masked teenager. Sun Zecheng saw that the green-robed man was dressed the same as the Twelve Ghost Guards of the Ghost Sect who were previously killed by Patriarch Linghu. He knew that this group of people was most likely the Ghost Sect's young master Wang Chan and his guards.
Another wave also had familiar attire, led by a gorgeous man with four pairs of men and women. This group was most likely Hehuan Souda Buque and his guards.
"What's going on?" Wang Chan, the young master of the Ghost Spirit Sect, asked first.
Yuan Lao Er from Songshan Sect sent a message saying that he met Sun Zecheng from Huangfeng Valley. When we rushed over, he was gone and we couldn't find any trace of him. "Pang Long felt embarrassed as he said this.
"Are you sure he is a person?" Hehuan Zongtian Buque asked.
"The summons only mentioned one."
"Why don't you chase?"
"We three couldn't find any trace."
Tian Buque didn't say anything else.
"Waste! The Madsongshan Sect is a bunch of waste! Five against one, they were wiped out in less than half an hour," Wang Chan, the young master of the Ghost Spirit Sect, cursed mercilessly.
"No wonder they are like that. The guy surnamed Sun from Huangfenggu is really strong." After Songshan Sect surrendered, they are currently working under Yuling Sect. Pang Long had to speak for them.
"I know that you were also defeated by him. Even your companion beast was killed by him." Wang Chan slapped Pang Long in the face without any hesitation and exposed his scars.
"You!" Pang Long of Yuling Sect was furious, but what the other party said was true, and his companion beast was dead, his strength was greatly reduced, so he had to swallow his anger. "It's nothing, I can kill these five pieces of trash!" Wang Chan said arrogantly.
"Damn it, this piece of trash can't even last half an hour. If he's dead, he's dead. We can't find any trace of him. Let's just disperse." Wang Chan didn't feel like wasting time here anymore, so he turned around and went back to the camp.
Seeing Wang Chan taking the lead, everyone dispersed.
Do you want to continue killing?
With Sun Zecheng's ability, it would be easy for him to chase them, launch a sneak attack, kill one or two, and then run away, but this would cause excessive panic to the enemy.
Sun Zecheng thought about it and decided to give up. He decided to take it slow, steady and not to overfish.
Sun Zecheng also quietly returned to the camp.
He returned to his residence, set up numerous restrictions, released the Taotie treasure chest, and was about to throw the bodies of several cultivators from the spirit beast bag into it, when he suddenly remembered that he had killed six cultivators from the demon sect and two reptiles in two days. Isn't this a military achievement?
Shouldn't meritorious service be rewarded?
No, I have to leave something behind to report my achievements to the sect and ask for rewards.
What should he keep? Sun Zecheng remembered that in ancient times, military achievements were recorded by cutting off heads first and ears later, so he cut off the right ear of each soldier, and then threw the six bodies into the treasure chest and quickly put away the treasure chest.
Sun Zecheng found a thin thread and strung six ears together, then walked into the room where the person on duty was in charge.
The person in charge this month is Master Li Huayuan.
"Killed six? I didn't expect that there would be such a powerful man under my Li Huayuan's tutelage." Li Huayuan was very satisfied when he saw Sun Zecheng handing over the string of ears.
"Well, what is the reward for killing six demons who are building their foundation?" Master Li Huayuan is a very practical person, and there is no need to be polite with him.
"Five hundred?" Sun Zecheng asked when he saw his master Li Huayuan stretching out five fingers of a palm.
"Five hundred? You think too much. Killing a foundation-building player will reward you with fifty lower-level spirit stones."
Only fifty low-level spirit stones will be rewarded for killing one enemy!
No wonder when I read the original novel, I always couldn't understand why Han Li killed more than a dozen foundation-building demon cultivators but still couldn't afford a few pill recipes, and had to sell two four-hundred-year-old elixirs to get enough spirit stones.
Speaking of which, the rewards from the Yellow Maple Valley have always been pitifully small, no wonder everyone was just slacking off during the battle of a thousand people.
"The reward for killing an enemy is only 50 lower-level gold. That's too little! Master, you have to tell them that there are brave men under a heavy reward."
"Who should I report this to? Do you think the ancestor doesn't know?"
That's not right! The head of Zhong Ling Dao might not understand the situation, but Linghu Patriarch is definitely not an unreasonable person! Last time he led me to rob the Yan family, he was rewarded with more than 10,000 yuan. So, the reward is so small, maybe Linghu Patriarch doesn't want the disciples of Huangfeng Valley to fight with the Demonic Path at all?
"Now that the spirit stone mines and spirit medicine gardens are destroyed, it's hard for the valley to cover daily expenses. Where can we get so many spirit stone rewards?" Li Huayuan continued to educate his apprentice.
"What about monsters? I killed two reptiles." No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat.
"No, everyone goes to the deep mountains and old forests to hunt monsters. The sect does not offer any rewards. The monster materials themselves are the rewards. How about you hand in the monster bodies and give me 50 lower levels?"
Well, even if it's a twisted logic, it's still reasonable. It's impossible to exchange monster materials for fifty yuan for a lower level one.
Forget it, Sun Zecheng just handed in the six right ears and received the three hundred yuan lower-level reward, and prepared to leave.
"Wait a minute," Master Li Huayuan called out to Sun Zecheng.
