Chapter 63 Sixty-three. The first mission, there is a monster in Bashan!

Li Ye and his seven companions successfully joined the Hall of Heroes.

Now in the Hall of Heroes, except Jia Xinglie, all the high-level combat forces are carrying out missions. Even the commander-in-chief Lu Shuyu has gone to the Spirit Realm to report on his work.

Li Ye and others stayed in the Hall of Heroes for a few days.

On the evening of the third day, the golden crows were rising in the west, the afterglow of the setting sun dyed the white clouds red, and in the distance was a gorgeous sunset. Li Ye sat cross-legged in the room meditating.

Suddenly I heard a sound coming from outside.

"Is Li Ye in there?" Jia Xinglie's flat and low voice came.

"Commander Jia, our boss is practicing." Gao Chong answered him.

"I have something to talk to your boss about." Jia Xinglie didn't waste any words and got to the point.

"Okay, I'll go call the boss." Gao Chong said as he was about to come in to inform Li Ye.

"No need, I'm coming out." Li Ye pushed open the door and walked in front of Jia Xinglie.

"General Li, I came to you this time because I have a mission for you. This task itself should not be left to you newcomers, but now the Hall of Heroes is weak and in a time of trouble. Most of the high-ranking officials of the Hall of Heroes are out on missions, and I must stay in the Hall of Heroes, so I can only come to you."

Li Ye listened and thought, "The Hall of Heroes is indeed very weak now, and it has come to this point."

"I understand. Please tell me the details of the mission." Li Ye nodded to show his understanding.

"According to Bawang Street Soul-Calming Street, there is a monster appearing in Bawang Street in the southwest. We don't know what it is, but its strength is at least at the Scorch level. Bawang Street Soul-Calming Street is unable to deal with it."

"Okay, I got it. I will go to Bawang Street to eliminate the monster tomorrow." Li Ye made a promise.

Jia Xinglie nodded slightly, then turned and left.

After he left, Li Ye said to the six people, "Pack up and set off tomorrow morning to attack Bawang Street!"

……

The next morning, before dawn, the Jade Rabbit lay across the sky, casting its bright light on the earth.

The seven people ran towards Bawang Street at lightning speed. Bawang Street is in the southwest area, with many mountains and rivers, winding roads, and fog all year round. Among the mountains and ridges, there are monsters and evil spirits everywhere.

The Soul-Suppressing General of Bawang Street has limited control over the area, because most of it is mountainous and there are many monsters and evil spirits. The only areas under his actual control are the plains, where he builds cities and settles the undead to resist attacks from monsters and evil spirits.

But recently, a terrifying monster appeared and attacked the gathering places of the undead many times. Each time, it wiped out the gathering places at a very fast speed. Before the soul-suppressing generals arrived, it had already escaped. No one has even witnessed this powerful monster with their own eyes.

……

A few days later, Bawang Street.

The mist was hazy, the sky and the earth were vast, the ancient alleys along the streets, the blue bricks and black tiles were all shrouded in rain and fog. The raindrops on the turquoise roofs gathered into rows and slowly flowed down along the eaves.

This is an ancient town located on the edge of a human settlement area. Outside, there are towering mountains, rivers, and lakes, filled with evil spirits and monsters.

Not far away, mist was rising from a large lake, and the black-sailed boats on the shore were hazy. Indistinctly, one could see the ancient street stretching all the way to the island in the lake.

Further away, there are green mountains and white clouds.

"There is such a strong fishy smell in this rain and fog."

A tall and handsome young man walked on the blue brick street that looked like a water town in the south of the Yangtze River. His face was slightly solemn, and he lowered his eyes to look at the clear lake water on the left.

The gurgling water flows around the houses, and the small rivers crisscross around the small bridges, winding and twisting, and their source is the large lake in the distance.

The person who came was Li Ye, who had become a general of the Hall of Heroes. He came to Bawang Street to carry out the first mission of his career in the Hall of Heroes.

Yang Tianyu and six others have dispersed and are looking for clues about the monster separately.

Li Ye did not find many evil spirits causing trouble along the way. The few that did exist could not cause any major trouble and were easily crushed to death by him.

But at this time, there was a strange phenomenon on Bawang Street. There were clearly ghosts in these houses with closed doors and windows, but when Li Ye asked the owners, no one dared to answer. Several families were like this, and they all hid in their houses and prayed silently, as if they were afraid. Li Ye stared at the clear lake water along the street. The water was hazy and clear, but it seemed that a black shadow flashed through it. When he looked again, it was clear again.

He slowly withdrew his gaze, but the dragon veins in his body were fluctuating violently, as if telling Li Ye that there were dirty things around.

"The dragon vein is a divine object born from the luck, will and will of a country. It is naturally able to restrain demons and evil spirits, and is very sensitive to such things. It fluctuates so violently, it seems that there is indeed a great evil around."

Li Ye continued to walk towards the center of the lake. It was early morning and the blue brick streets, which should have been bustling with people, were empty.

The huge Bawang Street was so quiet that it looked like a ghost town.

Not far away, the ruins of houses all over the ground caught Li Ye's attention.

At least seven or eight houses were left with only ruins, broken tiles and broken beams. The thick walls were destroyed by the brutal violence, leaving only large areas of dilapidated ruins.

There was a flash of coldness in Li Ye's deep eyes. He squatted down and pushed away the rubble at his feet. He saw that the blue brick ground under his feet, more than three meters wide, was completely crushed into fragments by the huge force.

"The debris is scattered all over the streets, and the evil aura in the air is thicker than in other places. It must have happened not long ago."

It seems that the black shadow I saw in the water just now was it. It just passed by it after it had just caused trouble!
"No wonder the people around here kept their doors and windows shut and were praying. It turned out that this evil beast was causing trouble. No wonder they were so scared."

Li Ye walked onto the rubble and could vaguely see the layout of the house. There was no trace of the front hall, only some deformed and broken pots, bowls, kitchen knives. The back should be a bedroom, only a section of the bedhead was left, and the surrounding walls were all rubble.

“It’s quite big!” Li Ye looked at the mess on the ground with a serious expression.

Judging from the traces on the ground, this evil beast should be a snake-like creature, at least hundreds of meters long.

Suddenly, from the big lake in the distance, a column of water suddenly emerged into the sky, splashing water all over the sky, and then a turbulent flood rushed out of the lake towards where Li Ye was.

The rolling waves directly swallowed up the plants and land on the shore.

Li Ye could neither retreat nor hide, he could only face the situation head-on, because behind him was an ancient town where many undead spirits lived.

"Luo Cheng!"

A figure wearing a silver crown, with a jade-like face, red lips and white teeth, a stern face and a serious expression appeared in front of Li Ye. He was wearing a white robe, covered with fish-scale silver armor, with a bow and arrows, a sword and a whip, and a five-hook flying spear, looking heroic! An ice-blue dragon surrounded him.

"Ice Flood!"

"Order!"

In an instant, the ice dragon roared, and an extremely cold air surrounded Luo Cheng. The ice dragon rushed towards the flood carrying boundless cold air.

The cold current collided with the flood, and the cold air accompanied by the severe winter froze the flood.

The flood gradually subsided until it was completely calm.

A dull roar like thunder came from the lake not far away, full of anger and violence.

Then the sound disappeared.

Yang Tianyu and six others rushed over.

"Boss, are you okay? We just saw a huge column of water coming out of the lake, so we knew something might have happened, so we quickly came to join you."

Li Ye nodded and said, "The water column and flood just now were caused by that evil beast, but I was busy dealing with the flood and it ran away."

"So should we chase them now?" Gao Chong asked.

"No need, it can't run away!" Li Ye looked at the big lake in the distance with a deep and distant gaze.

"What kind of monster is this?"

"Bawang Street, hidden in the big lake, good at water control attacks, is it this?"
