Chapter 180: Chaotic as Hemp.

Xiao Fen took the quiver, pulled out seventeen or eighteen arrows, his left hand glowed slightly, he smeared those arrowheads, handed them back to the little eunuch beside Wei Zhongxian, and said: “Please, Lord Nine Thousand Years, aim at only one spot on the Monster’s body.”

Although Wei Zhongxian did not remove his hand from the bow, his ears and eyes were sharp. Hearing Xiao Fen’s suggestion, the corner of his eye raised slightly, and he said: “Heh, does a kid also want to examine my standard?”

After saying that, his right hand took arrows one after another and fired them casually. In just a few breaths, he emptied all the arrows that Xiao Fen had smeared with the Armor-Breaking Poison Agent.

Xiao Fen calculated secretly, then smeared all the remaining arrowheads in his hand with Paralytic Poison Agent, then turned his head to look at that Monster.

Suddenly, 15 seconds passed. Large-scale decay appeared on that Monster’s body. Several of the arrows fired by Wei Zhongxian had already penetrated the Monster’s armor and nailed onto the Monster’s body. However, this Monster seemed to have a layer of inner armor. Although blood water occasionally flowed out, it could not cause effective damage.

Xiao Fen took out two daggers from his backpack and held them in his hands. He counted silently in his heart. Seeing that Wei Zhongxian was about to fire all the arrows in this quiver, he faintly heard the old man behind him panting heavily. Obviously, this kind of continuous firing was also a huge consumption for the Head Eunuch.

As for that Monster, it seemed to feel that Wei Zhongxian’s random arrows were not as power ful as before, and the accuracy was not as precise as just now. It suddenly turned its head to look in Xiao Fen’s direction, making cooing sounds from its mouth, seemingly preparing to rush up and attack Xiao Fen and the others when Wei Zhongxian completely fired the last shot and his strength was failing.

Xiao Fen gritted his teeth slightly, his body slowly crouched down. He was waiting, waiting for that small probability.

Even if it was just 1 second, as long as it could ensure this Monster was paralyzed, it was enough for Xiao Fen.

Just then, Xiao Fen suddenly saw that Monster’s body stiffen after being hit by a carved feather arrow. Obviously, although the Monster’s poison resistance was high, it was not some high-level poison resistance after all. There was always a certain probability of being paralyzed. Now was the time it was paralyzed.

At this moment, Xiao Fen did not even have time to think. His body already sprang out like a slingshot. The two daggers in his hands constantly glowed in the air, emitting strange colors. In an instant, they transformed into two completely different weapons.

One was pitch black as ink, the other was brilliant as light. Both looked somewhat unusual.

Xiao Fen’s body suddenly fell. Although it was just a second, it was enough for him to cross the distance of ten meters. At the same time, the blade light in his hand flashed. With a “hiss”, the Heart of Yarlann suddenly activated, completely piercing through this Monster and nailing it dead onto a stone.

Subsequently, the Flower of Corruption in his left hand also flashed, sticking tightly to the tiny crack created by the Heart of Yarlann, and suddenly stabbed into the Monster’s body. Xiao Fen suddenly let go and waved his hand at the Monster. Huge flames suddenly erupted on the Monster, completely surrounding it.

By this time, Xiao Fen’s Energy was completely exhausted. His head was dizzy. He completely ignored the data in the corner of his eye. His whole body swayed and slowly fell backward.

Just then, his body was suddenly supported. From behind Xiao Fen, Daoist Yuan turned out, looked at the Monster that was still struggling repeatedly in the sea of fire and blades, sneered, and said: “For big matters, Old Daoist me still needs to finish the job.”

Xiao Fen gave a bitter smile, said nothing, and in his dizziness, he suddenly went black and passed out completely.

He did not know how long he rested this time. When Xiao Fen opened his eyes again, he still felt dizzy. He shook his head slightly, only to see the whole room flickering vaguely. It was not his eyes blurring, but because the candles in the room were constantly jumping.

He struggled to prop up his body. Before he could speak, new data appeared before his eyes. It was the quest reward that the World Tree had not had time to give before.

“Congratulations, you have completed the quest, Blood Dragon King.”

“Blood Dragon King.”

“Quest Completion: 100%.”

“Reward: 700 Gene Points.”

“Reward: 1 Skill Point.”

“You have triggered a new quest: Gravedigger.”

“Gravedigger: Besides those Filth Creatures underground, on the surface there are also many Human companions of these creatures. These Humans, crushed by Reality, blindly dig up various hidden secrets, and in the process, bring Filth Life out of the ground. Find them, kill them, and Seal them before new digging sites appear.”

“You have 72 hours. In this time, you must find these Gravediggers.”

“Kill them, this is easy for you, yes, easy as can be. Just be a little careful, even Gravediggers, occasionally some will become powerful due to exchanges.”

Xiao Fen let out a long breath, suddenly remembering the previous quest of Bhaisajyaguru Vaiduryaprabha. It seemed there was also a 72-hour time limit. He had already used 24 hours in the house of Third Under Heaven at Dongzhi Gate. Now that the quest at Guangde Gate was done, but it was already night, so another 12 hours or more had passed. The time left for him was not much, and until now, he did not even know where that Bhaisajyaguru Vaiduryaprabha was.

Various matters were as chaotic as hemp, but Xiao Fen could not retreat even half a step. At this point, he was already deeply involved. Besides fighting with all his might, there was no other choice.

Thinking of this, Xiao Fen felt a sweet taste in his throat and started coughing violently.

The door was pushed open, and Lycaon walked in, saying with an unhappy face: “Palin, I heard about it. You went off on your own today. Listen, this is not a good thing.”

Xiao Fen smiled and said: “You need to take care of your sister. As for the mission reward, it is only 700 Gene Points, at most plus one Skill Point, and no physical rewards. Compared to this, your sister’s body is more important.”

Lycaon shook his head and said: “No, this has nothing to do with the reward. Since we are in this Trial World and have already triggered the Main Quest, we must help each other. Otherwise, none of us can complete the final mission, and we cannot leave this world. To survive and leave this world, you must learn to trust your companions.”

Xiao Fen nodded and said: “Okay, okay, I will remember. Alright, tell me now, how much time is left before the next mission?”

Lycaon thought for a while and answered: “The mission of the Pan Family was triggered on the night of May 2nd. After that, you triggered some Buddha statue mission. On May 3rd, we found my sister. Now it is the evening of May 4th. There are less than 28 hours left before the deadline of your Buddha statue mission.”

Xiao Fen nodded and was about to speak when he suddenly heard a sound from the door again. After a while, Wei Zhongxian walked in from outside. He looked at Xiao Fen with a gloomy face and said in a low voice: “His Majesty wants to see you.”

Xiao Fen was stunned for a moment and asked: “Why?”

Wei Zhongxian answered in a low voice: “Do you remember that man who died in the monster’s mouth? His surname was Hou.”

Xiao Fen frowned and asked again: “Surname Hou, what does that have to do with the Emperor seeing me?”

“His Majesty has a wet nurse. You should know that before entering the Imperial Palace, this wet nurse was married. The man she married was called Hou Er, a rascal. This military officer surnamed Hou has some connection with Hou Er. Through a tangled relationship, he has some ties with the wet nurse. Now this military officer surnamed Hou died a miserable death, so the wet nurse naturally refuses to let it go. She has been pestering His Majesty. His Majesty ordered me to invite you to enter the palace immediately to explain today’s events and put an end to this grudge.”

Xiao Fen nodded and said: “That is fine. Anyway, too many people saw what happened today. It is always good to clarify things face to face. But looking at you now, it seems you are somewhat unwilling for me to see that wet nurse?”

Wei Zhongxian glanced at Xiao Fen, paused, and said: “That wet nurse is called Ke Shi. She was originally my companion in the palace, which is fine. But this wet nurse has an extraordinary secret identity. Thinking back, I left my home and job with empty pockets to enter this palace, originally to monitor Ke Shi from close by. As for being companions, that was also part of the intention. There are various things that I cannot explain clearly for now. If you can come out of the palace alive, I will naturally have time to explain it clearly to you. But right now, there is no time to elaborate, so I can only remind you to be very careful.”

Xiao Fen frowned and asked: “Does it have anything to do with the White Lotus Sect?”

Wei Zhongxian glanced behind him to make sure no one was there, lowered his voice and said: “Today my subordinate secretly investigated and reported back. The residence at Dongzhi Gate is secretly controlled by Ke Shi. From beginning to end, for over ten years, I actually knew nothing about it.”

Hearing this, Xiao Fen could no longer describe his shock. In his mind, various missions, various bizarre past events, and various characters spun like a revolving lantern. For a moment, he did not know where to start thinking, nor did he know what to do.

Standing up in a daze, Xiao Fen thought for a moment and asked: “What can I bring into the palace?”

Wei Zhongxian gave Xiao Fen a meaningful look and said: “Do not bring swords.”

Not bringing swords meant he could bring anything other than swords. Xiao Fen immediately understood this meaning. He nodded, put his Staff into his backpack, threw all the excellent-level weapons he had drawn onto the bed, and asked: “Can I bring companions?”

Wei Zhongxian shook his head slightly and said: “Your companion had better stay with me and disguise himself as a strong servant. If he is by your side, it might be even worse.”

Xiao Fen did not know exactly what this “worse” referred to, but he knew that entering the palace this way was likely more dangerous than safe, with more trouble to follow. Thinking of this, he turned his head and asked Lycaon: “Do you have any armor?”

Lycaon shook his head, casually pulled out a necklace from his ring, and said: “Wear this. It can block 2 lethal attacks for you. Other than this, I have no other treasures.”

Xiao Fen asked: “How much is it worth?”

Lycaon waved his hand and said: “It is worth your two bottles of Healing Potion.”
