Divine Seal: From a Heavy Sword to Slicing Through the Holy Demon Continent

After paying ten merit points, I patiently began to look at the many exploration tasks on the counter.

Soon, Long Haoyu's attention was focused on the Fearful Howling Cave quest.

Mission: Explore the Cave of Fear and Howl.

Mission reward: 20,000 merit points.

Mission risk level: Unknown...

Upon seeing this task, Long Haoyu's lips curled into a faint smile.

"The mission is still there, and everything is exactly as I remember it."

"With this in mind, we can say that we've secured the opportunity in this mission."

Long Haoyu thought to himself, too lazy to even bother to find out the exact location of the mission.

Once you have a general idea of ​​what's fair, there's no need to waste your merits anymore. After accepting the mission, none of this will be a secret.

"Hello, I have decided to accept this mission to explore the Cave of Fear and Howl."

Long Haoyu took out his guild leader's token and walked straight toward the middle-aged man behind the counter.

The middle-aged man, a staff member, looked slightly surprised at Long Haoyu's young appearance: "General-level Demon Hunter Team No. 21, mission accepted: Investigate the Cave of Terror and Howling. Mission reward: 20,000 merit points. No penalty for mission failure. General-level Demon Hunter Team No. 21, mission completion..."

The middle-aged man stared in disbelief at the final message, looking at Long Haoyu with an expression of utter astonishment: "Your Demon Hunter team has only zero completed missions?"

“That’s right, our Demon Hunter Team is a newly formed team this year, so we don’t have any mission completion targets. Please help our Demon Hunter Team accept this mission!” Long Haoyu said very politely.

"This task is quite difficult. Are you sure you've thought it through?" the middle-aged man asked again.

Long Haoyu said firmly, "Thank you for the reminder. We will be careful."

"The mission has been successfully accepted for you. There will be a planned optimal route in the mission, but you will still encounter demons, so please be careful."

The middle-aged man continued, "Find a suitable general-level demon hunter team and share the mission. Although the final merit will be less, survival is the most important thing."

"Thank you!"

"We will find a suitable team to contribute."

Long Haoyu continued to answer, and everything went along with what the middle-aged man had said.

The Demon Hunter Quest Tower doesn't mean that they can accept any quest they choose.

If the staff believes that their demon-hunting team is unable to complete a corresponding task, they can refuse to issue the task, in order to ensure the safety of the demon-hunting team.

after all……

Every member of each demon hunter team is an elite among elites.

Although there will inevitably be casualties during the mission, ensuring the safety of the demon hunter team to the greatest extent possible is also a priority for the staff.

Before long, Long Haoyu returned to the Demon Hunter Group's villa area with the registered information on his leader's token.

Soon, in the white villa, Long Haochen and the others saw Long Haoyu return and gathered around him.

"Boss, I heard you went looking for missions? Did you find any suitable ones?" Lin Xin asked hurriedly. "Our Demon Hunter Team is really broke right now. If we don't get some missions, this housekeeper can't keep up!"

"It's already been found."

As Long Haoyu spoke, he announced the mission to explore the Howling Cave.

All eyes turned to the mission details, and when they saw that the reward was 20,000 merit points, their eyes widened in surprise.

"Holy crap, boss, a reward of 20,000 merit points? Are they not going to clear the mission tower? With so many merit points, they're going to make a killing!" Lin Xin exclaimed.

Long Haoyu smiled and said, "Rewards and risks go hand in hand, so we can't be careless."

"I know, but didn't you say, boss, that the bigger the storm, the more valuable the fish? We all know we can afford a reward of 20,000 merit points."

Lin Xin patted his chest and said, "I just never expected that after using only 10,000 merit points to upgrade the Demon Hunter Team, I would get a quest that costs 20,000 merit points. It's definitely worth it!"

Long Haoyu smiled without saying a word, watching Lin Xin's lively antics to liven up the atmosphere. His gaze fell on the mission details, and he thought to himself:

"This time, the storm will indeed be quite big."

"Of course, the Aion's catch this time is also quite impressive."

He analyzed these matters thoughtfully.

Long Haoyu continued to look at the optimal route planned on the mission details, and saw that it mentioned passing through a city like Xingxun City.

A brilliant light flashed in his eyes.

"Based on our current time, and after resting, we should be able to travel to the Demon Realm, which should match the time in our memories."

"So, barring any unforeseen circumstances, I should be able to return to the Demon Realm in time for the Moonlit Merchant Guild. Does that mean I'll be able to see my aunt during this mission?"

As Long Haoyu pondered these things, the smile on his lips widened even more.

During the journey to exorcise the demon, I finally met Ah Bao's uncle a few times and even fought him several times. My grandfather even made a special appearance in my life.

This mission involves meeting that aunt again, as well as the daughter of the Moon Demon God.

Chapter 318. Little guy, get up and get to work!

A few days later.

Starseeker City is a very special city.

Long Haoyu and his team rushed to this location as soon as they set off from the Holy City.

This is a very special territory, but it can be said to be the only place they can rest and resupply during this mission.

Once you continue deeper into the demon realm from this city, you will be completely isolated and helpless.

We must be wary of the demons' hopes at all times.

If they are not careful, they will face utter ruin.

Having abandoned their horses and changed into new clothes, Long Haoyu led his group to the Wenlam Hotel without hesitation once they entered Starseeking City.

Long Haoyu was in charge of arranging most of the things.

Long Haochen and the others followed without asking any questions.

but……

They didn't ask many questions during the journey, but after settling into the Wenleym Hotel, they finally voiced their doubts.

"Brother Haoyu, we could have rested outside Starseeking City, why did we choose to come here?"

"You don't seem to be the type to indulge in pleasure, so it seems unnecessary for us to resupply in a hotel like this!"

"Besides, we abandoned all those fine horses. What a waste!"

Li Xin asked with great confusion, explaining that the group had traveled from the Holy City to purchase a batch of fine horses.

To enter Starseeker City, these fine horses had to be abandoned outside the city.

Li Xin, who was a knight herself, was still quite reluctant to do this.

With a smile on his face, Long Haoyu had already guessed that Li Xin would ask this question. His expression turned serious as he replied, "Sister Xin'er, have you forgotten that I made you wait for me for half an hour before we set off?"

Li Xin nodded: "I remember, you seemed to have gone to the Fourth-Rank Demon Hunter Team and said you had something to talk to them about."

Long Haoyu explained, "That's right. I went to find Brother Dianyan from the Fourth-Rank Demon Hunter Team. I have some inside information that his uncle is a traveling merchant between our human race and the demon race."

"So, I asked the other party to give me some contact information. Next, we need to use the other party's uncle's connection to eventually join the merchant caravan of traveling merchants here and set off together."

"We are just venturing into the demon lands alone, without any cover. In fact, the mission is extremely dangerous. Even if we follow the best route in the mission details, there will definitely be many dangers."

"Therefore, within the limits of the rules, this is the only way we can gain more room for error."

Li Xin listened thoughtfully. They all knew about traveling merchants, and when she heard what Long Haoyu said, a look of sudden realization appeared in her eyes.

"I see. So, after entering the city, the person you were looking for, Haoyu, was delivering a message to Dianyan's uncle?" Li Xin asked again.

Long Haoyu nodded: "That's right, the Wenlam Hotel is the best place. We just need to wait for them to come to us."

"This is not a safe place after all, so we have to be careful and not take any uncertain risks lightly."

Everyone listened to Long Haoyu's methodical analysis.

One by one, they all began to admire Long Haoyu's analysis from the bottom of their hearts.

At first, they hadn't thought about this matter carefully, but now that Long Haoyu had said it, they were all completely convinced.

Their meticulous thinking truly earns them respect as their leader.

To follow such a commander, who is also so talented and has extraordinary personal strength.

It's really hard for it not to take off!

……

Not long after.

A knocking sound came from outside the hotel room.

Long Haoyu opened the door and immediately saw Dianyan's uncle who had come to visit.

“Brother Long, I am Dian Xuan, Dian Yan’s uncle, the manager and head guard of the Moonlit Merchant Guild. I heard that you were looking for a high-paying job, so I came here in person.”

Dian Xuan was a tall, vigorous old man who winked at Long Haoyu as he spoke.

Long Haoyu nodded: "Uncle Dian, these are my friends. There are eight of us in total. We really want a high-paying job, so please help us arrange it."

Seeing that Long Haoyu was very cooperative, Dian Xuan said with great satisfaction, "Our merchant group still needs some odd jobs. You can be responsible for guarding the wagons. Each person will receive two silver coins per day."

"If everything goes well, I can give each of you an extra gold coin as a reward when we get back."

Long Haoyu nodded quickly, a happy expression on his face: "Thank you so much, Uncle! This is wonderful, thank you!"

A barely perceptible glint flashed in Dian Xuan's eyes as he said calmly, "Alright, that's settled then. The merchant corps will be setting off in three days. I will inform you of the meeting point then."

Long Haoyu watched Dian Xuan leave before turning his gaze back to Cai'er and the others.

"Haoyu, isn't this decision too hasty?" Cai'er said with concern.

Long Haoyu explained, "No, the Demon Hunter Team's selection process is very reliable, so we can have complete confidence in Brother Dianyan."

"However, this matter is not as easy as imagined. There is an unspoken rule among traveling merchants that the members they hire will not exceed the sixth rank."

"The uncle who just sold cigarettes didn't ask us any questions, but we still have to be careful about this."
