Xiuxian: But It's Not a Game

Chapter 336 Northern Dragon Cliff, the Mission to Compete for the Grand Commander

Wild beasts are monsters that are over level 300 but have not undergone the Heavenly Tribulation or gained intelligence. They are generally not very intelligent, but they have thick skin, thick flesh, and very strong vitality, making them very difficult to deal with.

The fourth rank corresponds to a Celestial Immortal, the fifth rank to a True Immortal, the sixth rank to a Mysterious Immortal, and the seventh rank to a Golden Immortal.

"It's good that Yu Jun isn't alone. His cultivation can't be improved in a short time, so sending him on a mission is not bad."

Moreover, there are so many fourth-tier wild beasts in Shenxingyuan, so it's a good opportunity to eat some to replenish one's body.

However, just as he agreed, Bei Ming Ao Qing, who hadn't replied in a long time, suddenly came over and said to him:

"After several discussions, the leaders have agreed that you, representing Dragon Girl Ao Run, will join the competition. There are three tasks here. You can choose one to complete, and you will gain everyone's approval to become the Grand Commander of Beiming Dragon Cliff."

Su Yu's expression was serious as she said in a deep voice:
"Please say."

Ao Qing waved his hand, and a light screen unfolded in front of him, displaying three different tasks. Su Yu looked closely and saw that it showed—

Task 1: Hunt down the Snake Man. The Snake Man clan, also known as the Heavenly Serpent, has hunted down no fewer than ten dragons. Find and kill him, or capture him alive.

Mission Two: Destroy Shenxingyuan. Shenxingyuan in the North Sea wants to join the Sea Serpent Clan. Destroy Shenxingyuan and kill at least three city lords. You must kill the Lord of Shenxingyuan.

Task 3: Drive away the wild beast. There is a fifth-tier wild beast wandering north of Beiming Dragon Cliff. Drive it away or kill it.

At this moment, Ao Qing's voice rang in his ears:

"The Nether Serpent is extremely powerful. Not only has its cultivation reached the Ninth Grade Celestial Immortal level, but it has also awakened the Void Python bloodline and mastered the laws of space. It is incredibly elusive, and even True Immortals find it difficult to track down. Moreover, it has a history of escaping from the hands of Profound Immortals. If you do not have sufficient strength, do not rashly accept this mission."

“There’s nothing special about Shenxingyuan. Neither the five city lords nor the twenty-odd wild beasts are particularly powerful.”

"The fifth-tier wild beast north of Beiming Dragon Cliff is a giant Kun. It roams north of Dragon Cliff and often devours the patrolling naval forces nearby. We once tried to send experts to besiege it, but the result was that two Celestial Immortals died in the mouth of the Kun. We have also tried more than a dozen methods to drive it away, but we have never succeeded."

After explaining the details of the three tasks, Ao Qing looked at Su Yu and said in a deep voice:
"You can try all three tasks, with a time limit of one year."

"However, it should be noted that you must complete all three tasks on your own and must not ask for help from others."

Su Yu immediately asked:

"Aren't my men good enough?"

Ao Qing glanced at Ao Run, who was sitting next to Su Yu, and replied:

“Miss Ao Run is fine, or any spirit pet you have tamed is acceptable.”

At this moment, Ao Run asked:

"Uncle Ao Qing, these three tasks are too difficult, aren't they? It's almost impossible to do them alone."

Ao Qing smiled and said:

"If it's not difficult, how can we win people's hearts? My Beiming Dragon Cliff has billions of naval troops, more than ten celestial immortals, and many immortals who have received favors from the Sixth Prince. How can they be convinced?"

"but."

Su Yu raised her hand to stop Ao Run from speaking, and said with a smile:

"One year is fine, I'll take on this test."

"Good, that's bold."

Ao Qing said with a look of admiration:

"You can take action at any time without notifying us; simply use a recording spell to document the mission."

"it is good."

Ao Qing didn't say anything more and turned to leave.

"Husband!"

Su Yu raised her hand to stop Ao Run from speaking, and said with a smile:

"Just as Commander Ao Qing said, if it's not difficult, how can we win people's hearts? That's inevitable."

Su Yu recalled the information she had previously purchased about the Northern Dark Dragon Cliff and realized that the difficulty level was not exaggerated.

Commander Ao Qing was being conservative. The strength of Beiming Longya was even greater than he had just mentioned. Not to mention the billions of naval troops, most of whom were cannon fodder, there were very few truly elite naval troops left. However, there were indeed more than a dozen genuine Celestial Immortal-level commanders, as well as dozens of tamed fourth-order wild beasts and two fifth-order wild beasts comparable to True Immortals.

Moreover, one of these two fifth-tier wild beasts is the Eight Desolate Dragon Turtle, which is level 498 and is on the verge of advancement. It was once the mount of the sixth prince of the previous generation.

Just like the giant tortoise that Ao Ying had before, there was a palace built on its back, which was once the residence of the sixth prince of the dragon.

Speaking of which, the dragons all like to use turtle-like wild beasts as their palaces. Ao Ying has one, the Azure Dragon King has one, and the Sixth Prince of the Dragon Clan also has one.

The above is the current power of Beiming Longya. In addition, there are many demon immortals who were once subordinates of the Sixth Prince of the Dragon King but withdrew after the Sixth Prince of the Dragon King's death, as well as many demon immortals who once received favors from the Sixth Prince of the Dragon King. This is a huge force.

Once he acquires such a massive force, he will immediately become a third-rate power even in the Azure Immortal Realm, making it worth his all-out effort.

Don't underestimate the seemingly low rank of third-rate; it depends on who you compare it to.

To put it simply, the Dragon Clan and the Sea Serpent Clan of the Azure Immortal Realm are considered first-rate forces, the Xuanqing Upper Sect, which Su Yu joined, is considered a second-rate force, and third-rate forces are equivalent to the bottom-ranked major sects in the Azure Immortal Realm.

The Xuanzhen Immortal Sect, located far away in Blue Mountain, wouldn't even be considered a third-rate power in the Azure Immortal Domain.

"So now the question is..."

Su Yu pressed her temples firmly:
Which task should we do?

Or rather, it's either the first or the third mission, because the second mission, destroying Chenxingyuan, has already been taken by Ao Ying.

His army has already been assembled, he has already hired celestial experts, and he has already spent money; there's no way he'll give up now.

"Well, I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint Brother Ao Ying this time."

Su Yu pinched the bridge of her nose and gave a wry smile.

He promised to be his underling, but then he turned around and went to cling to Bei Minglongya's coattails. I wonder how Ao Ying felt when he found out.

"I'll just have to make it up to him later."

Su Yu shook her head, having made up her mind:

"Let's go check out the Northern Dragon Cliff first."

There was really no other choice. The Nether Serpent was elusive and difficult to track down. Only the fifth-tier giant Kun was fixed in that sea area and could be found by going there.

He left without hesitation, sending Ao Ying a message:

"I have something to do and need to go to Beihai first. You go ahead and I'll be there shortly."

Ao Ying laughed heartily:

"No problem. It will take at least a month for my army to set out and launch an attack on the enemy. We have enough time."

"Then it's settled."

After shutting down the communication, Su Yu headed straight for the Dragon Fortress teleportation array.

Several hours later, he appeared in the Northern Underworld Immortal City.

Instead of leaving the city immediately, they wandered around inside.

The Northern Underworld Immortal City is built on an underwater plateau. Although its area is not as large as the Dragon Fortress, it still has a diameter of over 100,000 kilometers. Within the city, there are numerous mountains and spiritual veins. The central main spiritual vein is of the sixth-grade middle level, there are three sixth-grade low level spiritual veins, more than twenty fifth-grade spiritual veins, and several hundred fourth-grade spiritual veins.

The defensive array of Beiming Immortal City is of a lower grade than that of Dragon Fortress, only a sixth-grade high-quality array, but it is still enough to withstand the siege of several Xuanxian.

As long as Dragon Fortress stands, Northern Dark Dragon City will not fall.

Not far from the Northern Dragon City, there is also a super water eye of no less scale than the Dragon Fortress, from which a continuous stream of aquatic spirits pours out of the abyss and flows to the four seas.

Su Yu circled the outer perimeter of Beiming Dragon City before flying towards the inner city. He soon spotted a colossal tortoise with a shell diameter exceeding six hundred kilometers, its back covered in rugged mountains that supported a vast palace complex stretching for hundreds of miles. Eight Desolate Dragon Tortoise (Mythical): Level 498, Desolate Beast, Guardian of Beiming Dragon City.

This Eight Desolate Dragon Turtle is of a higher level and larger size than the Eight Desolate Dragon Turtle under the Azure Dragon King of Dragon Castle. I wonder where the Sixth Prince of Dragons got it from.

Su Yu didn't go over; she just watched from afar for a while before turning around and leaving, heading straight outside the city.

However, not long after he left, three figures suddenly appeared on the back of the Eight Desolate Dragon Turtle, the one in the middle being Ao Qing.

The silver-robed man on the left watched Su Yu's departing figure and asked in a deep voice:
"You chose him?"

Ao Qing nodded:

"Yes, that's him."

"The true form has not yet undergone the great tribulation of heaven and man to become an immortal."

"This is not a big problem. His original body comes from the Heavenly Mandate Civilization. With the blessing of Heaven, his cultivation speed is very fast. He can become an immortal in a few hundred years at most. In addition, with the resources provided by Dragon Cliff, it is not a big problem for him to become a true immortal in the future. Even a Xuanxian is possible."

"But we are dragons."

Ao Qing glanced to the left, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face:
"I saw him in person last time, and it gave me a very strange feeling."

"What does it feel like?"

"When he transformed into a true dragon, he gave me a kind of oppressive feeling that made me afraid to look directly at him. I suspect that his bloodline may have signs of atavism."

"???"

Not only the man in the silver robe, but even the man in the blue robe who had been silent all along looked at him with a shocked expression.

"That's impossible. Since the primordial chaos was shattered, our bloodline has never been able to revert to its ancestral form."

"Don't look at me like that. Normally it would be impossible, but now we are in a new calamity, and the Heavenly Dao is manifesting in the world again. Anything is possible."

"Moreover, it belongs to the Destiny Civilization. You've all witnessed the wonders of the Destiny Civilization, so it's not impossible for bloodlines to revert to their ancestral form."

"This"

Are you sure?

"It's not certain yet, but it's worth a try, isn't it?"

"And even if that's not the case, the potential he's showing right now is enough to make it worth the gamble."

The other two remained silent, but at that moment, silence was tantamount to acquiescence.

On the other side, after leaving Beiminglong City, Su Yu headed straight north to a certain area.

The location of the fifth-tier giant Kun, which was tasked with driving away the wild beasts in the third mission, was easy to find. This creature was enormous, made no attempt to hide itself, and remained in a fixed area. You could find it by simply going around in the area.

More than three hours later, Su Yu arrived at a sea area more than 50 million kilometers north of Beiming Dragon City. He then wandered around this area for more than two hours and finally found the giant Kun above a sea eye.

Giant Kun (Myth): Level 495, a deep-sea beast.

This giant Kun looks like a whale, with a large head and a small body. Its exterior is gray and covered with rough wrinkles, but its size is extremely large, estimated to be over a thousand kilometers long when its head and tail are combined.

At this moment, it is suspended above the water eye, its giant mouth opening wide to swallow the sea.

"Swallow the sky and the earth!"

An incredibly powerful attraction emanated from its mouth, causing the millions of aquatic creatures that were constantly being drawn into the sea eye to disappear into its mouth due to the immense gravity.

It seemed that there was an independent space inside the giant Kun. In just a few dozen seconds, it devoured a massive number of monsters that were larger than the giant Kun itself, but it did not react at all and continued to devour them.

"This thing is a bit outrageous."

There's no way we can beat them in a fight; there's a gap in every aspect. Even if we maintained our Ancient Dragon Primordial Spirit Dharma Form state, we still couldn't defeat them.

There's no need to even consider killing him; with his current strength and resources, he's definitely no match for us.

The only option is to try to expel them.

"Hmm, maybe we can offer a bounty when we get back and see if there's a way to get rid of them."

Su Yu didn't linger for long; she looked around for a while and then returned.

Upon returning to Beiming Dragon City, he immediately posted a bounty on the local regional channel:
"A reward of 100 Immortal Coins is offered for finding a way to drive away the giant Kun in the North Sea. Note: The following methods have been tried and have failed."

He marked all the dozen or so failed expulsion methods that Ao Qing and his team had tried, so that others wouldn't use the same methods.

About two hours after the bounty was posted, a human female immortal named Lü Suning accepted the bounty.

"I have two methods here, but your bounty is too low."

Su Yu immediately replied:

"Money is no problem, as long as the method is effective. So, I'll give you 100 Immortal Coins regardless of whether it succeeds or not? If it succeeds, I'll add another 1000 Immortal Coins."

"can."

Three seconds later, Su Yu received an attachment. She opened it and saw that it contained two methods.

The first method: Determine the gender of the giant Kun, find the aura of a female giant Kun, and then use a secret method to make the giant Kun go into heat in advance, luring the giant Kun away from this sea area.

The second method: There is a special demon-attracting incense in Tianzhu Mountain that can attract all kinds of demons and wild beasts in the world. It can reliably lure away the giant Kun. One pillar of demon-attracting incense in Tianzhu Mountain costs 2000 merit points. If you want to lure it far enough, you need at least three pillars.

"Well"

Su Yu tapped her fingers lightly, pondering the feasibility of these two methods.

To be fair, both of these methods are indeed very feasible.

It is indeed possible for a giant Kun in heat to be lured away.

He had heard of this special demon-attracting incense from the Heavenly Court; it was extremely effective against uncivilized wild beasts, and could be said to be 100% effective in attracting them.

However, this demon-attracting incense is very expensive, requiring 2000 Heavenly Court merits to exchange for one stick. Based on the ratio of Heavenly Court merits to Immortal Coins of 1 to 10, it is equivalent to a value of about 20000 Immortal Coins.

Three sticks of demon-attracting incense cost 60000 immortal coins.

Three sticks might not be enough; to draw them far enough, five or ten sticks might be needed.

Of course, money is not an issue. If 100,000 immortal coins can complete the task, Su Yu will not hesitate.

The key point is that he has some doubts about whether these two methods will be effective.

According to the information provided by Beiming Longya, they had previously used more than a dozen methods to expel the dragon, including many similar methods to the two mentioned above, but all of them had failed.

Normally, if it were any other wild beast, it would have been driven away long ago after using so many methods.

This giant Kun has been lingering in this sea area and won't leave no matter how much we try to drive it away. There must be some special reason for this. If we don't find the reason, we probably won't be able to drive it away no matter what we try, unless we kill it once and for all.

But if we could kill him, none of this would have happened.

"We still need to conduct an on-site investigation and observe the condition of this giant Kun."

Seeing that there was still plenty of time left before meeting Ao Ying, Su Yu left Beiming Dragon City again and returned to the sea area where she had previously discovered the giant Kun.

It was still the same sea eye, but the giant Kun was gone. The sea eye had returned to normal, and countless monsters rushed out of it, surging in all directions.

Su Yu circled around the area and quickly found the giant Kun wandering aimlessly in the sea.

He transformed into a wisp of smoke and followed behind the giant Kun, observing from afar.
