Chapter 121: Missions

"Hmm, in that case, let’s take these."

"...are you serious?"

"Brother..."

"What?" Lin Xiao looked at the other two and grinned. "Aren’t these quite good for us?"

Wenren Yu: "..."

Looking at the two papers that Lin Xiao took, the other two didn’t know what to say aside from agreeing. The first mission was to eliminate a recent serial killer that was roaming on the small village not far from Feng Yi City. The second mission was for them to gather Cotton Flower Grass, which was a very common herbs found at the outskirt of a forest.

The forest surrounding Feng Yi City was quite vast, so it meant that they would need to travel a long distance to finish these two missions.

"What’s the reward, Brother?" Lin Yun asked.

"1000 gold and also Low Grade Spirit Stone."

"Let’s go then."

Hearing the reward, the other two got excited. Lin Xiao grinned and looked at the two missions in his hand. The serial killer was named Bo Wu and estimated to be around Body Training Rank 8 to 10. No one knew for sure but the description stated that he had powerful skill that allowed him to kill efficiently.

Handing the mission to the counter, the woman was stunned. She looked at the three brats in front of her in confusion.

"This man is Body Training Rank 8 at the lowest. Are you sure you want to take this mission?"

"Yes."

"Also, this one is far and there are a lot of beasts outside. Are you sure that you won’t need more members for your team?" the woman asked again.

Lin Xiao arched his eyebrows. "Can I buy a map?"

"Sure."

As the woman handed the map to Lin Xiao, he realized that he was very far away from the lake where he used to stay. It would take weeks for him to reach his hometown. In addition, the vast forest enveloped large distance which would definitely take around three days for them to reach the edge.

"How strong are the beasts?"

"There should be unranked beast until beast rank 3."

Lin Xiao’s hand quivered slightly when he heard the strength of the beasts. Mind you, beast rank 3 was equivalent to Foundation Establishment Cultivators. If he were to encounter beast rank 3 in his path, he would have no other choice but to run as far away as possible.

Hmm, wait.

Lin Yun and Wenren Yu were already Body Training Rank 10 and he himself was also Body Training Rank 9. It shouldn’t be too much of a big deal if they were to fight against beast rank 3, right?

"It’s fine, we’ll take the mission," Lin Xiao said after a while.

It was only now he realized why the reward for searching this herbs were so high. Traveling the forest safely at such long distance was difficult. If they were to encounter powerful beasts on their way, it would mean their doom.

"There are beasts rank 3?" Lin Yun was also hesitant after hearing the woman’s explanation.

Lin Xiao passed a glance at his brother and patted the latter’s shoulder. "Don’t worry and just trust me. We’ll be able to defeat them."

Wenren Yu sighed. How should they trust Lin Xiao? So far, they have only defeated beast rank 3 under Elder Wang’s watch. Without protection from Elder Wang, they might not be able to defeat beast rank 3.

"Anyway, we’ll take the mission."

The woman looked at the three stubborn brats in front of her and shook her head. Forget it. If they wanted to seek their own death, she would not meddle. There were already a lot of people dying because they took mission outside their league.

"Here’s the token. When you finish the mission, return the token to us along with the proof."

For assassination mission, they usually took the head.

For herbs gathering, well obviously they had to take the herbs back and submitted it to the woman.

"Got it."

"Good luck."

The three of them leave the association and directly headed to the gate. Wenren Yu furrowed his brows. "You’re not going to buy anything first?"

"What?"

"Food?"

"There are still a lot of meat," Lin Xiao said helplessly. Since they packed their meat into their bags, there were more than enough food for them during their stay in the city. He was not one to stay in one place, so obviously, he wanted to travel and search for more adventure.

"Medicine?"

"With the two of you around, is there even any lack of medicine?" Lin Xiao was speechless. Both Lin Yun and Wenren Yu had already prepared a lot of medicine yesterday until the room turned dirty. If it was still not enough, he would be very surprised.

"There’s nothing wrong with preparing more."

Lin Xiao shrugged. "I don’t think there’s any need. After we kill the man, we’re going to straight to the edge of the forest. Do you think there’s any need for me to worry about lacking in medicine?"

Wenren Yu thought about what Lin Xiao said. They were only going for a week’s journey so the amount of medicine they have was already more than enough. How many times would they engage themselves in battle anyway? Those beasts rank 1 and unranked beast could be defeated with mere slaps.

"Alright then, let’s go."

Seeing the determination in Lin Xiao’s eyes, the other two chose not to say anything else and they departed into the forest. The guards saw them getting out of the city and only gave a short glance before resuming his work as the guard. There were countless people who came out of the city and it was not their work to check on them unless there was some kind of emergency inside the city.

For example, an important person got killed so suddenly.

Unless that kind of accident occurred, there would be no one who cared for those who got out of the city.

In the forest...

Bang!
