Chapter 970: Flame Demon
After arriving at Feiyunduan, he walked towards the Wanxiang Palace while using the Shinto Order to select the sect mission.
Given that the Shattered Star Palace was about to open, and he did not have enough spirit stones to teleport to other states, his goal was preferably a task that was more certain and could be completed around the Shinto Sect.
After a selection, Duan Qing chose a sect mission that he liked.
Earth-level mission: Kill the Yan Yao and take the Yan Yao skull.
There is a strange beast Yan Yao in the stone forest of Pinghu Island in Shenzhou, causing trouble for the area. Kill the Yan Yao and take its skull as evidence.
Sect contribution, 3,000.
Earth-level mission, the contribution is as high as 3,000. Completing this mission is definitely enough for him to buy all the materials for refining small teleportation arrays and Qianji disks, and it is even more than enough.
The most important thing is that Pinghu Island is not far from the Shinto Sect. It is located to the east of the Shinto Sect. At his current speed, it will take at most two or three days to go back and forth.
And this kind of mission to kill strange beasts does not require dealing with outsiders, which is the most convenient.
After entering the Wanxiang Palace and accepting the task from the mechanical man in the room on the left, Duan Qing left the Wanxiang Palace without stopping for a moment and flew down the mountain.
In the bustling crowd outside the Wanxiang Palace, a skinny young man in gorgeous clothes looked at Duan Qing's departing back with a sinister look and hatred in his eyes.
...
One day later.
Duan Qing looked at the endless island group below, and his face was quite helpless.
There is such a big lake in the inland of Shenzhou!
When he saw the name Pinghu Island, he thought it was just a small island in the lake, and the scale of the island and the lake should not be too large.
However, it seems that he thought too much.
After arriving at Pinghu, he realized that Pinghu was the largest freshwater lake in Shenzhou, with a water area of thousands of miles.
Pinghu Island does not refer to a single island, but to the center of Pinghu, a general term for hundreds or thousands of islands of various sizes.
These Pinghu Islands in the center of Pinghu are developed by several immortal cultivation families and small sects around Pinghu as medicinal fields for growing spiritual medicines because of their abundant spiritual energy.
Any force of a certain size in the Central Plains has opened up some medicinal fields specifically for growing spiritual medicines.
Like the Shinto Sect, it directly opened up a separate realm and transplanted spiritual veins, mountains, rivers and rivers into it for growing spiritual medicines.
These small sects naturally cannot be as generous as the Shinto Sect.
Compared with opening up a special realm, it is definitely more cost-effective to find a ready-made place with abundant spiritual energy to grow spiritual medicines.
However, it is cost-effective. The spiritual medicine fields exposed to the outside world are definitely not as safe as special realms.
No, a flame monster appeared on Pinghu Island at some point and destroyed the spiritual medicine fields on the island, causing heavy losses to the surrounding small forces.
But the flame monster is quite powerful. Several small forces in Pinghu have joined forces to surround and kill it several times, but they have not been able to do anything to the flame monster.
In desperation, these small forces pooled together a considerable amount of spiritual stones and jointly asked for help from the Shinto Sect.
Duan Qing only glanced at these details in the detailed introduction of the sect's mission, and he didn't care about them.
His headache now was how to find the Yan Yao.
Looking at the scale of the Pinghu Island Group in front of him, it was probably at least hundreds or thousands of miles.
With such a large area and so many large and small islands, it would probably not be so easy for him to find the Yan Yao quickly!
Thinking of this, Duan Qing sighed deeply, opened his perception with all his strength, and began to search forward.
Perhaps because of the spiritual medicine fields on Pinghu Island, Duan Qing searched for half an hour, but did not find even an ordinary bird or beast. The island group was so quiet that it was frightening.
After half an hour of careful search, Duan Qing only advanced about a hundred miles forward, and the progress was very limited.
This was not because he was slack in action, but the island group was too scattered. In order not to miss a place, he flew a lot of wrong roads in the middle.
Another two or three hours passed, and as night was about to fall, Duan Qing searched four or five hundred miles forward and barely reached the center of the Pinghu Islands.
Along the way, many spiritual medicine fields on the islands were in a mess, and some were even burnt.
As they went deeper into the Pinghu Islands, the number of burnt spiritual medicine fields they found gradually increased.
It seems that the Flame Monster should not be far away!
Duan Qing thought so.
At this time, several spiritual power fluctuations appeared in his perception.
Duan Qing looked to the side and front, and flew in this direction decisively.
After flying for about several miles, a small island of a hundred feet appeared in front of him.
At this time, there were three middle-aged monks, two men and one woman, on the island, fighting fiercely with a beast-shaped skeleton floating in the air, burning with blazing flames all over its body.
The three middle-aged monks were all in the middle stage of the Spiritual Sea Realm, and were obviously at a disadvantage, and were suppressed by the flame skeleton.
The flames around the flame skeleton spun rapidly, forming a flame whirlwind, and flames shot out from time to time, almost turning the small island into a sea of fire.
The three middle-aged monks who were struggling in the sea of fire could not cause any substantial damage to the flame skeleton, whether they used flying swords or magic.
The flying swords of the three people could not even break the flame whirlwind on the surface of the flame skeleton.
Seeing this scene in the field, and thinking of the description of the flame monster in the sect mission, Duan Qing immediately determined that the flame skeleton was his mission target this time, the flame monster!
What puzzled him was who the three middle-aged monks were and why they would fight against the flame monster.
According to the description in the sect mission, the small forces around Pinghu should have given up on killing the Yan Yao on their own, otherwise these forces would not have asked for help from the Shinto Sect.
So, these three people are not from the forces around Pinghu?
Seeing that the three people were getting more and more unable to hold on, Duan Qing had no time to think about anything else. Without saying a word, he directly sacrificed a virtual sword and shot it at the Yan Yao on the island.
Under Duan Qing's control, the virtual sword had arcs on its surface, and it crossed a distance of hundreds of feet in almost the blink of an eye and flew to the Yan Yao.
At this time, the Yan Yao seemed to have finally noticed something, and immediately opened its big mouth with only white bones left, and spit out a red fire column at the virtual sword.
However, the red fire column it spit out did not stop the advance of the virtual sword. The speed of the virtual sword was almost the same. It instantly broke the red fire column, shot into the mouth of the Yan Yao, and shot out at the back of its neck.
The Yan Yao was hit hard, and the flames on his body suddenly weakened a little, but he did not die.
As if realizing Duan Qing's strength, the Flame Demon decisively gave up attacking the three middle-aged monks on the island, turned around and fled in the opposite direction of Duan Qing.
Duan Qing frowned slightly, and immediately his mind moved.
The Void Spirit Sword suddenly flashed with lightning, and a thunderbolt burst out, instantly hitting the fleeing Flame Demon.
