Chapter 247: Moyu Xia'er

Moyu, Xia'er.

An ancient castle kingdom, hidden among the snow-capped mountains.

In the evening, the night curtain was like a glutton, gradually swallowing the setting sun on the horizon.

On the plateau, thin mist began to rise, gently covering the green wilderness.

On the road leading to Xia'er, a human youth covered in dust walked slowly.

This youth wore a pointed hat, held a wooden staff, and his eyes revealed persistence and determination.

This youth was Zhang Xingyu.

It had been a month since he left the holy mountain Ospia.

For a month, Zhang Xingyu slept in the open and traveled day and night, finally arriving at the foot of this Dor-Dosis Mountain.

Passing through a dense pine forest, he climbed up a low hill.

Ahead was an endless wilderness, and a small blue river flowed happily forward.

At the end of the field of vision, a quiet white castle appeared and disappeared in the mist.

Soon, lamps lit up one after another in the castle, like fireflies dancing in the summer night.

The air was good, the scenery was beautiful.

Xia'er, this place, is really not bad.

If it were in his previous life, it should be a tourist holy land.

I must rest here for a few days.

Relax my tense nerves and restore my exhausted body.

Only by restoring myself to the best state is it possible to complete the mission.

A mission, an almost impossible mission.

Difficulty coefficient, ten stars.

That day, in the Holy Fire Hall.

The god-man transformed from the holy fire said to Zhang Xingyu: "Innate holy fire, cannot be passed on lightly."

Zhang Xingyu heard this and was secretly happy.

Cannot be passed on lightly, in other words: as long as you pay a sufficient price, it can be passed on.

Freebies won't work, it must be an equal exchange.

Just like when Tang Sanzang was seeking scriptures at the Great Leiyin Temple in the West in "Journey to the West," the Buddha said: "The Dharma cannot be passed on lightly."

Therefore, Tang Monk took out the golden bowl he used for begging for food to exchange for those few volumes of true scriptures.

This approach reflects the Buddha's insight into human nature.

In the cognition of mortals, the easier it is to get something, the less they know how to cherish it.

Therefore, the more precious something is, the less it can be given directly; the difficulty of obtaining it must be increased.

The god-man transformed from the holy fire issued a mission to Zhang Xingyu.

"On the top of the Alps Holy Mountain, the holy fire in the temple of the Goddess of Love, Alice, has gone out. The creatures of the Moyu Continent cannot receive the illumination of the divine light and are gradually being eroded by evil and darkness. Mission: Go to Alice's temple and light the temple's holy fire. If the mission succeeds, you will obtain the true meaning of the innate holy fire; if the mission fails, your divine fire will go out."

After the mission was issued, the god-man moved his finger, and a wisp of holy fire shot out from his fingertip, instantly disappearing into Zhang Xingyu's brow.

Zhang Xingyu immediately felt an indescribable comfort in his divine soul.

He sank his mind into the divine sea.

In the center of the divine sea, above the divine spring, a wisp of holy fire swayed gently.

This wisp of holy fire was deep red and scorching, like the bright sun of summer.

In the center of the holy fire, there was a bean-sized flame.

The flame danced and jumped in the holy fire, like a cute elf.

Damn.

How did my divine fire get into this wisp of holy fire?

Besides this wisp of holy fire, the flame god also gave Zhang Xingyu a map.

The map outlined a road to the Goddess of Love's temple.

When he saw the place names marked on the map, Zhang Xingyu only felt his scalp go numb and his back go cold.

If he wanted to reach the Love Goddess Peak where the Love Goddess's temple was located, he would need to pass through five famous dangerous places in the Demon Realm along the way: the Eternal Night Forest, the Giant Canyon, the Endless Sea of Blood, the Evil Dragon's Nest, and the God-Demon Cemetery.

Eternal Night Forest, dark and sunless.

Rumor has it that few Demon clansmen who enter it can walk out.

Giant Canyon, the habitat of ancient giants.

Since ancient times, the Demon clansmen who entered the Giant Canyon have become their food.

Endless Sea of Blood, extremely evil.

I heard that the Demon clansmen who went to explore the Sea of Blood all turned into blood in the sea.

Evil Dragon's Nest, the home of evil dragons.

Evil dragons are violent in temperament and love to cause destruction; they are mobile flame throwers.

God-Demon Cemetery, the resting place of ancient gods and demons.

Rumor has it that the Demon clansmen who disturbed the rest of the gods and demons all became their slaves.

Ten-star mission, the legendary ten-star mission.

How did I win the prize?

In his previous life, as a gamer, what he most hoped to encounter was such a high-difficulty mission.

As the saying goes, the greater the risk, the greater the reward.

Unfortunately, this is not a game.

There is no chance of rebirth after dying.

It can be said that the greater the risk, the smaller the chance.

With a restless heart, Zhang Xingyu descended from the holy mountain Ospia.

Finding a restaurant and spending all the magic stones on his body, Zhang Xingyu finally recovered from the huge blow.

Although it is not a game, although it is ten deaths and one life, there is still a glimmer of hope, right?

Thinking of that flame god, a big shot in the divine realm, he wouldn't do a losing business.

If he really had no possibility of completing the mission, he wouldn't have spent that wisp of holy fire on him.

Looking at the empty money bag, Zhang Xingyu thickened his skin and took out a token.

This was the token Bai Xiaosheng gave him.

Relying on this token, he borrowed ten thousand low-grade magic stones.

Having returned to the ranks of the poor, he once again realized the sadness of having no money.

Along the way, living frugally and suffering cold eyes, he finally arrived at the edge of the Eternal Night Forest.

Xia'er, this ancient and mysterious kingdom, is the throat guarding the way to the Eternal Night Forest.

It is said that there is a secret path to the Eternal Night Forest in Xia'er City.

As long as you have a pass token issued by the king, you can go through the secret path to explore the Eternal Night Forest.

Every March, countless adventurers gather here to compete for the qualification to explore the Eternal Night Forest.

This day is March.

Passing through that towering city gate, along a stone street hung with lanterns, Zhang Xingyu arrived at a noisy bar.

Eternal Night Bar.

Bar, as the name suggests, is a place for drinking.

The bar has strong liquor and ladies; it is a good place to vent excess energy.

Zhang Xingyu was exhausted and had no extra energy to vent.

He came to this bar mainly to collect information.

Lifting a smelly bear skin curtain, what came into view was a high bar counter.

"Give me a large glass of rye beer."

Zhang Xingyu gently slapped three low-grade magic stones on the bar counter.

Taking advantage of the waiter pouring the wine, Zhang Xingyu looked around the bar.

The bar's lobby was not big, with a dozen low wooden tables scattered sparsely.

A group of drunks gathered around the tables, either talking loudly, joking, or drinking heavily.

In the corner of the lobby, a youth in gorgeous clothes sat, sipping the red wine in his glass in small sips.

This youth had golden hair, a powdered face, and red lips, enchanting enough to surpass a woman.

Demon King Hali!

Although the lights were dim, Zhang Xingyu recognized him at a glance.

Perhaps feeling Zhang Xingyu's gaze, Demon King Hali turned his head and cast a glance at the bar counter.

Zhang Xingyu quickly turned his head and picked up the beer handed over by the waiter.

His heart was beating like a war drum, thumping hard.

Hopefully, this old demon didn't discover him.

Picking up the wine glass, he gulped down a large mouthful of beer.

The iced liquid went straight down his throat and into his chest and abdomen, making his whole body feel frozen.

The waiter smiled at him.

This guy probably hasn't had a drink in a long time.

In the corner, the Demon King didn't pay too much attention to Zhang Xingyu.

He turned his head and continued to slowly taste the red liquid in his glass, his eyes full of memories and nostalgia.

Zhang Xingyu's heart slowly slowed down.

He finished the liquid in the glass in large gulps, then walked out of the bar. ===== CHAPTER 248 =====
