Gao Wu: My Dragon Valley System

Chapter 354 Petition
Main Line 1: Investigate the truth behind the supernatural! [Task Rewards: Level +200, Skill Points +100, Gold Coins X10, System Backpack +50, Title: Ancient Spirit Detective (Title Effect: Ghost/Ghost Attack Resistance +5%, All Attribute Attack +10%, Critical Hit Damage +1%, Hero Title Effect: Permanently Increase Attack Power by % Based on Level)]

Zhang Junmo looked at the main line in the task bar that was always in an unfinished state and his expression was a little solemn.

Based on current experience, the main quests are obviously issued based on his own situation, and will not be far beyond his ability.

Even the side quests are similar, and there is an option to refuse them.

What is the truth behind the supernatural?
Based on the known information, Zhang Junmo could only confirm that this matter was closely related to the underworld and the ghosts of the Hidden Spirit Clan.

As for the fundamental reason for the appearance of supernatural beings, all he could speculate was that ghosts were using humans as feed to cultivate supernatural beings, thereby obtaining a good food source.

To put it bluntly, it's like raising pigs in a pen.

But is it really just like that?
How are evil ghosts cultivated?
Are the so-called ghosts really the same as the ones Zhang Junmo knows through movies, TV shows and legends?
The main task is obviously what the system wants Zhang Junmo to complete, and it is also what Zhang Junmo is obligated to complete as a member of Dragon Court.

However, when these thoughts flashed through Zhang Junmo's mind, Gao Shengzhong on the side was staring at him in shock.

"Nima! Jun Mo, are you crazy?"

"Investigating supernatural secrets? There are naturally strong people in Longting to investigate such things, right? Is it your turn?"

Gao Shengzhong’s eyes almost popped out of his head.

To be honest, even though he had experienced several supernatural events, he was still a little scared.

This is human nature.

The unknown always brings fear to people.

In addition, the word "supernatural" has left a deep impression on people. Humans are almost instinctively afraid of such things.

Even an atheist who claims to abandon superstition.

When they encounter supernatural events, they will behave even more unbearably than those who believe in ghosts!
Because the impact on this kind of people's world views is greater than that on other people, their emotions will naturally be more unstable.

Fortunately, Gao Shengzhong, who was once a typical fat otaku...

Well, it is still the same now.

In fact, he is more inclined to believe that the legends about gods and ghosts in the world are true.

After all, there are cultivators in this world!

But the problem is that even cultivators know very little about ghosts.

"What? Are you scared?"

Zhang Junmo had no expression on his face and just looked at him silently.

"Fuck! Would I be afraid? Would I be afraid?"

"It's just that, in the previous few encounters with those things, it seemed that my abilities had no effect on them!"

At first, Gao Shengzhong stiffened his neck and wanted to say a few tough words.

Unfortunately, I have had a stiff neck in the past few days, and my neck is a little sore and I can’t straighten it up.

Zhang Junmo felt helpless.

"makes sense."

No one forced Gao Shengzhong anymore.

The reason why he invited him before was because he trusted him. Plus, this kid was quite powerful. If they really started fighting, Zhang Junmo estimated that except for the magic breaker, no other profession would be able to win for sure.

As for the Illusion Swordsman, I'm afraid he will only have a chance if he has the enhanced version of Illusion Explosion.

However, the enhanced version requires 6 points of self-power, and you need to use skills to accumulate self-power points.

However, Gao Shengzhong has the Chrysanthemum Sword that has evolved into a sword net, which is responsible for long-range attack and defense. Now he has the Peach Blossom Sword for close combat, so he is really in a difficult position.

As his practice improved, the terrifying power of Gao Shengzhong's S-level supernatural talent gradually became apparent.

It's not just his training speed that's terrifying. As a sword summoner, his Chrysanthemum Sword itself is more powerful than the swords of ordinary sword summoners!
The pure realm combat power is comparable to the mid-stage D-level.

And his killing sword will is now comparable to Zhang Junmo's, and his combat power is even close to that of most late-stage D-level psychics who have comprehended the power of will.

In addition to his Thirty-two Styles of Ju Bao, oh no, after upgrading, it should be called Sixty-four Styles of Ju Bao, and White Tiger Sword Technique.

When these methods are coordinated with each other, they are enough to fight against Zhao Feiyun!

As for the outcome, it is difficult to judge.

But this is enough to prove how amazing Gao Shengzhong's growth is and how strong his combat potential is!
However, there is no reason in the face of the supernatural.

No matter how powerful the combat capability is, unless there is absolute suppression of the realm, the attack will have little effect on the evil spirit.

"That's okay!"

In this case, Zhang Junmo decided to set off on his own.

He originally didn't know where to go to find out the truth about the supernatural.

But in the early morning when he broke through to level 31, he found that the system seemed to have changed again.

Well, in other words, the taskbar has changed.

An arrow appeared on the main task!
Zhang Junmo was very familiar with this arrow.

This is the direction that will be given for tasks in the Dragon Nest game!

In other words, with this direction guidance, he knows where to go to complete the task.

Moreover, the distance is given under the arrow.

In this way, Zhang Junmo avoided a lot of trouble.

After all, if the mission required him to run to the other side of the star and he didn’t know the distance, he might not be able to think of that.

At this time, the distance displayed under the arrow is 80 kilometers.

The direction points to the south.

"With this direction and distance, we should be at the seaside."

Zhang Junmo had just walked out of the college gate when he heard someone calling him from behind.

"Wait, Jun Mo!"

Looking back, I saw Gao Shengzhong catching up with me.

"What? You're not going?"

"Hey! What's that?"

"I just stated some objective facts. But I didn't express any subjective attitude!"

Gao Shengzhong patted his chest and said, "When have I ever been afraid of anything?"

Zhang Junmo glanced at him and couldn't help laughing.

This idiot who usually behaves in a disorderly manner is sometimes more reliable than anyone else.

"Let's go! Let's go!"

"Got it!"

……

Due to the special geographical conditions, part of the urban area of ​​coastal cities is located on an island.

And at the southernmost tip of the island, there is a thousand-year-old temple that is famous far and wide!

Nandopu Temple!

The history of this temple can be traced back thousands of years ago, and it is rich in history and culture.

According to legend, most people who burn incense and pray here have their wishes come true. In addition, there is no entrance fee here.

So on weekdays, there are many pilgrims here.

It is precisely because of the lack of commercial atmosphere here that piety is fully revealed.

No tickets are required, incense is given as a gift.

Although there are many people, the Buddhist tranquility and far-sightedness are still impressive.

All of this has attracted many people to come here frequently to burn incense and make petitions.

However, in recent times, for unknown reasons, the temple suddenly closed its doors and refused to allow visitors.

It aroused the curiosity of many people.

During these days, even though they cannot enter, there are still some pilgrims praying devoutly at the door.

The only difference from before is that for some reason, this temple has inexplicably become a bit eerie.

"Hey? Why do I feel a little chilly here?"

At this time, a man who was pulled over by his girlfriend tightened the collar of his coat.

It's not even December yet, and this is a southern coastal city in the Celestial Empire, so it's not that cold at all.

You won't feel anything when wearing a coat.

He raised his head and looked at the sky. Looking at the dark clouds above his head, he muttered in frustration, "It's strange. The sky around here is clear and bright, but only the sky here is covered with dark clouds, and it feels gloomy and gloomy."

The man didn't believe in gods or Buddhas. He originally thought that his girlfriend asked him out on a date, but he didn't expect it to be a temple. He didn't take it seriously.

However, his unintentional words were heard by the young woman next to him.

"What are you talking about!"

The woman gently pinched the man's waist, then clasped her hands and bowed towards the temple gate, saying, "Please forgive me, Bodhisattva. My boyfriend was ignorant and spoke nonsense, which offended you. I hope you will forgive him!"

After bowing several times, the woman looked at the man and said, "Do you know? The Bodhisattva here is very powerful! When I was a child, I was unconscious for unknown reasons. My parents took me to a nearby hospital, but they couldn't find the cause. I was foaming at the mouth and my condition was extremely bad. My mother happened to meet a monk who was sending pilgrims to the hospital. Maybe she was desperate and wanted to seek medical help everywhere, so she came to this temple to ask the Bodhisattva to bless me and wake me up soon."

"What was unexpected was that she had just returned to the hospital after petitioning and saw that I had woken up. Even the doctors on the scene found it incredible. After the examination, they found that my physical condition had completely returned to normal, and afterwards, I never fainted again like I did when I was a child. Later, when I heard my mother talk about this incident while chatting at home, I realized that the Bodhisattva in this temple saved my life."

"real or fake?"

After listening to the woman's description, the man was somewhat skeptical.

"Why would I lie to you? If it weren't for the blessing of the Bodhisattva in this temple, how could you have a girlfriend as beautiful as me now? Humph!"

The man wanted to say something, but when he saw his girlfriend's expression, he had no choice but to go along with her.

"Looking at you, what you said must be true. I didn't expect it to be so magical!"

As he spoke, he also clasped his hands together and bowed towards the temple gate.

Of course, only he himself knows what he is thinking.

At this time, the woman stood there again, with her eyes closed and her hands clasped in front of her chest, probably praying to the Bodhisattva.

After the petition, he prayed devoutly several times.

Then the two of them left the temple gate.

However, when they left, they saw two young men staring at the woman intently.

The woman seemed to have noticed this as well and thought she had met two hooligans, so she grabbed her boyfriend's arm tightly.

The man was also a little nervous.

Although the two young men next to them didn't seem to be very old and didn't look very strong.

But he felt an inexplicable sense of oppression just by looking at it.

It was as if I couldn't breathe just by being stared at by the other person.

So in the end, he didn't say anything, but just hugged his girlfriend and walked quickly away.

"Wait!"

However, before the two of them walked far, they heard a voice coming from behind.

Hearing the voice, the two paused, but instead of stopping, they walked even faster!

Unfortunately, before she had walked far, the woman felt a hand suddenly grabbing her shoulder.

The tension that had accumulated earlier caused the woman to scream in surprise.

The two finally turned around at this moment, and their faces changed when they saw the two young men in front of them.

The man mustered up his courage and pushed away the young man who had his hand on his girlfriend's shoulder.

Perhaps the man found himself so timid and embarrassed, so he shouted angrily: "What are you doing? You want to tease my girlfriend in broad daylight?"

Hearing this loud shout, people around immediately gathered around curiously, wanting to see what was going on.

After all, I heard someone say the word "teasing".

Seeing people watching, Zhang Junmo helplessly stretched out his other hand holding a wallet.

"Hey big brother, you must have misunderstood me. I just saw your girlfriend's wallet dropped and I wanted to return it to her."

"Ah... ah?"

The man saw that Zhang Junmo's tone didn't seem to have any malice and was rather kind. Most importantly, he seemed to have misunderstood him and was a little confused for a moment.

The woman reacted first. She said with some embarrassment and shame, "Sorry... I'm sorry! Hey, little brother, we misunderstood you as hooligans just now. We are so sorry!"

"Also, thank you for returning our wallets!"

The woman took the wallet and she and her boyfriend apologized to Zhang Junmo and Gao Shengzhong repeatedly.

After Zhang Junmo repeatedly said it was okay and rejected the two's invitation to dinner, the two men embarrassedly said goodbye and left.

After realizing it was just a misunderstanding, everyone stopped watching and dispersed.

However, Zhang Junmo and Gao Shengzhong looked at each other and looked at the strange figure in Zhang Junmo's hand, whose body was pale and whose face was covered by long hair!

Earlier, Zhang Junmo patted the woman's shoulder, actually catching the strange figure lying on the woman!
"Fuck! Can't these people see it?"

Gao Shengzhong widened his eyes and said in disbelief.

Zhang Junmo shook his head slightly.

"This place should be full of ordinary people, so it's normal that they can't see this thing."

But Gao Shengzhong was a little bit incredulous. He glanced at the Buddhist temple next to him and said, "This is a Buddhist temple? How dare this thing appear here? Isn't it afraid that the Bodhisattva inside will come out and turn it into ashes?"

Zhang Junmo sneered, "Come on! Do you believe this?"

"No... Didn't that woman say that the Bodhisattva here is very powerful? And the temple gate is closed, and there are so many devout pilgrims outside the door. It must be the Bodhisattva's blessing, right?"

Gao Shengzhong looked at Zhang Junmo's expression and said with some uncertainty.

Zhang Junmo looked at the strange figure in his hand, and then a ray of fire suddenly appeared in his palm.

"what!!!"

The strange figure suddenly let out a shrill howl, and almost in an instant, it was burned into nothingness by the flames and completely dissipated.

The previous screams and flames disappeared in just an instant.

The people around didn't even hear the shouting and continued to move about.

However, feeling the gloomy atmosphere around him and the dark clouds that always covered the sky, Zhang Junmo understood.

I’m afraid this temple is really as the man before described!
