Fire Monster

Chapter 18 Difficult Team Building

At this time, on a high platform in the center of the square, more than a dozen martial arts teachers were standing there, each holding a bright lamp in their hands. It was obviously also a kind of imperial seal magic weapon, but it was brighter and more advanced than the imperial seal oil lamp.

"Everyone, listen up. This bounty mission has been adjusted compared to the previous ones. In addition to the original two demon villages, a new demon village has been added."

"The bounty model of the original two demon villages remains unchanged, but a certain number of fourth-level demons will be released into the newly added demon village. At the same time, the bounty mission time is changed from one day to three days. Participants will spend two nights in the demon village, unless you choose to give up the bounty mission, or successfully kill a fourth-level demon on the first day and successfully complete the mission."

"In addition, the newly added Demon Village bounty mission does not allow single participation. All participants must form a team of ten. However, it is not limited to the three disciplines of civil and martial arts."

"In principle, each team will not meet other teams, nor will there be any competition between them."

"There will be some changes in the newly added Demon Village, which you need to explore on your own."

"The bounty will fluctuate. It is divided into the basic reward. That is, as long as the fourth-level evil demon is killed, each team member will receive two Dao Palace coins. On this basis, for each successful night in the Demon Village, an additional Dao Palace coin will be awarded."

"Finally, a solemn warning. If you feel exhausted, you can withdraw from the bounty program by ringing the bronze bell you were given. If a team member dies without accident, all the team's assessment rewards will be cancelled. Therefore, do not take risks! I suggest you think twice before acting."

"Wow, it has been adjusted. The rewards are more generous, but the difficulty is also higher."

Fat Song exclaimed, but he was more excited because the previous bounty mechanism was not difficult for him at all and he could pass it easily, so he dared to guarantee that he would take Zhao Guanshan through.

But now, it's completely different.

Theoretically, he could even earn four Dao Palace coins in three days!
Not only Song Xiaopang, almost all the martial arts students present were excited, only the liberal arts students looked at each other helplessly.

Because of this difficulty, it is destined to have nothing to do with them.

At this time, many military science students have begun to excitedly call their friends and form teams of ten with people they know well.

Lian Song Xiaopang received several invitations at this moment.

"Brother Zhao, I'm sorry, the assessment mechanism for bounties has changed, and there's nothing we can do about it, so I can't take your deal."

"Of course, I am a man of my words. Since you hired me for ten coins, and now I cannot help you fulfill the bounty, I should compensate you with ten coins."

After saying that, Fat Song stuffed a piece of energy storage spirit stone into Zhao Guanshan's hand and turned away.

This guy is really calculating. He makes a little money from it.

"Wait, maybe you need a liberal arts student! The liberal arts are not useless."

Zhao Guanshan shouted. Compared with other gloomy and helpless liberal arts students, he was more motivated and confident. He was also very envious of the reward of four Taoist coins.

Upon hearing this, Song Xiaopang hesitated for a moment and looked at the martial arts students who had invited him, but in the end, everyone, including Song Xiaopang, shook their heads at the same time.

"Brother Zhao, it's not that we don't want to help you. You probably don't understand what a fourth-level evil demon means. A fragile liberal arts student like you will almost die in a single encounter. If you die, we won't be able to live with it, and all our rewards will be reset to zero. So, please understand."

"Sorry! You can find someone to try the original bounty mode. If you succeed, you will get a reward of fifty small coins."

"All right!"

Zhao Guanshan nodded helplessly, this was also the fact.

But he had other ideas.

The newly added Demon Village bounty seems more like the academy is encouraging students to unite while increasing their teamwork experience.

However, the Taoist academy did not explicitly state that liberal arts students were not allowed to join, so the seemingly weak liberal arts students would definitely be able to play their due role in this new demon village bounty mission.

It’s like, in the entire Linjiang Prefecture, although the Qi-refining apprentices who graduated from liberal arts have the lowest status, who dares to say that this group is useless?

With this thought in mind, Zhao Guanshan felt that he should join the newly added bounty for the Demon Village, but after looking around, he found that almost no martial arts students were willing to accept him.

Not only him, but hundreds of liberal arts students here are in the same situation.

At this time, many liberal arts students had already turned around and left.

Because almost all military science students are unwilling to try the original bounty model.

Without a martial arts student leading the team, even if a group of liberal arts students formed a team, they would definitely lose in the original bounty mode.

"Zhao Guanshan, why are you here?" Yang Mao's voice sounded, very surprised.

"Yangmao, can you take me to the Demon Village?"

At this time, Zhao Guanshan could only place his hopes on Yang Mao.

"Sorry, we already have ten people, and this bounty is very dangerous, I won't take you with me." Yang Mao broke Zhao Guanshan's fantasy with just one sentence.

There's really nothing we can do.

Zhao Guanshan was speechless and could only watch groups of martial arts students enter the Demon Village. After a short while, the venue that originally housed tens of thousands of people was reduced to only a few dozen people.

Almost all the liberal arts students had left, and the only ones left were the martial arts teachers and a group of martial arts students who looked like they were scratching their heads.

They were begging the supervising teacher to let them in as there were only nine of them.

Seeing this, Zhao Guanshan's eyes lit up and he quickly stepped forward.

"Take me with you, that will make a total of ten people."

The nine martial arts students looked at the thin Zhao Guanshan, then at the ferocious-looking teachers, and found it unbelievable.

A short but exceptionally strong student of the military department asked.

"Teacher, can liberal arts students go too?"

"can!"

"That's great, we'll have ten of you. What are we waiting for? Let's go!"

"Shut up, Han Erzi, have you ever listened to the bounty rules? If anyone in the group dies, all bounties will be reset to zero. This guy is as skinny as a bamboo pole. If he encounters a fourth-level evil demon, how can you protect him?"

A martial arts student scolded angrily, with an air of disappointment. He was right, how good could the ones who survived from so many martial arts students be?
"I have a psionic crossbow, I can protect myself!"

Zhao Guanshan couldn't help it. If he didn't reveal his cards like this, these people wouldn't have the courage to take him in.

"Psionic weapons? I'm sorry, teacher, is this considered illegal?"

A martial arts student shouted, looking very excited.

"Not really. He assembled this himself. If you have the ability, you can also buy a psychic weapon to enter."

The martial arts teacher spoke meaningfully, but there was a hint of approval in his eyes when he looked at Zhao Guanshan.

A liberal arts student who could assemble a psychic weapon in the Taoist temple must be the best in the liberal arts department. What's more rare is that this kid has enough courage to participate in the newly added Demon Village bounty.

The nine military students continued to look at each other, still hesitating.

Zhao Guanshan had no choice but to remind them.

"Everyone, hurry up. If you delay here for a while longer, you will fall far behind others."

A word to wake up the dreamer!

The nine martial arts students instantly became anxious and nodded hurriedly.

"Are you sure? Then prepare to enter. Who is the captain? Take the bronze bell. Also, I'll remind you for free, don't be reckless or impulsive, think twice before doing anything, and remember everything I taught you on a daily basis. Only if you are bold and careful can you succeed."

"If it doesn't work, remember to ring the bell!"

The martial arts teacher rarely said a few more words. There was nothing he could do about it. He also felt that this team made up of misfits was not very optimistic.

After saying that, he waved the small flag in his hand, and a ball of gray-white mist appeared dozens of meters ahead. That was the entrance to the Demon Village.

You can vaguely see the outline of a dilapidated village and a broken stone tablet in the fog.

The cold breath hit Zhao Guanshan in his face, making him shiver.
