Reborn as Xiao in another world, targeted by the little red bird

Baili Ling walked into the room first, and the next moment, the sound of a door closing was heard behind him.

He turned around and found Duan Shan looking at him seriously.

At this moment, he realized that the other party had something important to say, and immediately set up a magic circle in the room that could block prying eyes.

"Ling," Duan Shan asked first, "Why do you think General Ye gave us this mission?"

That’s right, the so-called mission they were going to complete in Huozhou was actually to send Xiao to Huozhou.

Although the reward for this commission is quite generous, there is only one defensive magic weapon that can withstand three attacks from a god-level strongman.

If there is only one team, there are usually some unwritten rules for the distribution of such rewards, and there are rarely disputes about it. However, the survival supply escort team consists of five teams, and they are not familiar with each other. The captains of each team want this treasure.

In the end, the cooperation talks broke down.

The other four teams went back to their homes and looked for their mothers, and left Baihe City one after another. Baili Ling went to find Ye Lingchuan with this bad news, but he never thought that the other party still entrusted the task to his team.

Several days have passed since he set out from Baihe City, but to this day, he still hasn't figured out Ye Lingchuan's intention.

After hearing Duan Shan's question, Baili Ling did not answer, but asked: "What did you find?"

Duan Shan walked around Baili Ling, came to the table and sat down, saying, "Just now at the Adventure Association, I saw Xiao's mission history."

"I forgot to check at that time - what commissions has he completed?" Baili Ling also brought a chair and sat down opposite Duan Shan.

Duan Shan looked solemn. She stared into Baili Ling's eyes and spoke word by word, "He only completed one commission."

"Once?" Baili Ling raised his eyebrows, revealing a somewhat surprised expression, "With just one mission, your membership level has been raised from beginner to intermediate?

What is the mission?

"We have also done this task." Duan Shan paused here.

She deliberately kept it a secret for a while, and when she saw Baili Ling urging her with his eyes, she continued, "Escort the magic stone."

"It's this mission?!" Baili Ling was even more surprised when he heard this answer.

There are more magic stones discovered than the one near Licheng. Almost all expert adventure teams have encountered this task.

Since the magic stone will attract a large number of spirit beasts, and even some low-level beasts will come to snatch it, this mission can only be taken by special and expert-level adventure teams.

Due to the lack of strength in some areas, the requirements for acceptance will be lowered to high-level adventure teams, but in fact, only high-level adventure teams with very good mission records can accept it.

Logically speaking, it is impossible for Xiao, who has just become a member of the Adventure Guild, to be able to access this task.

The improvement of the adventure team's rating is not only based on the completed tasks, but also on the realm strength of the team members.

In other words, the participants of this mission usually have strength between Saint level and King level, but Xiao was only at the Venerable level at that time.

Baili Ling couldn't help but fall into thought: "The achievement of a single mission allowed the membership level to be upgraded from beginner to intermediate. This shows that Xiao played a huge role in the mission. For example, the mission did not fail because of one of his actions.

But he was only at the Venerable level at the time, what could he do in a situation of that level?"

Duan Shan said: "Besides this, in three years, he was promoted from three-star Venerable to three-star King. This talent is also very terrifying."

Hearing this, Baili Ling frowned slightly and looked at Duan Shan: "Are you saying that General Ye is not interested in our strength?"

The cultivation levels of both of them and Ren Liang are higher than Xiao's three-star king level, but after the Adventure Association learned about Xiao's talent, he did not dare to guarantee that he could defeat Xiao.

Baili Ling had heard of many forces where geniuses could defeat powerful enemies by leaps and bounds, and the process was even very easy.

He is not the kind of person who thinks highly of himself and looks down on others. Now, he has begun to doubt whether the five people in his team can take down Xiao together.

"Besides strength, what other advantages do we have?" Duan Shan answered Baili Ling's question with a question.

"Advantage..." Baili Ling kept repeating these two words and fell into deep thought.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration came to his mind and a look of joy appeared on his face.

"It's experience!" Baili Ling said.

"experience?"

"That's right." Baili Ling said firmly, "Xiao doesn't look very old, only about sixteen or seventeen. I don't feel the cunningness of a mercenary person from him. He probably hasn't experienced too much.

To become an expert adventuring party requires completing many commissions, so they have been to many places and seen many things. This is where we are better than him."

Duan Shan shook her head and asked, "Is it possible that General Ye just wants to hire a team of capable guides?"

"To...the guide?" Baili Ling was slightly stunned, then he understood.

Duan Shan’s guess was actually not wrong.

In order to complete the commission, they traveled to many places and knew many roads.

They know which roads are safe and which roads are fast, and they also know which dangers can be easily dealt with and which dangers are very difficult to deal with.

However, if they are only there to serve as guides, wouldn't it be a waste of their talents to ask them here?

Although he still had doubts in his heart, Baili Ling began to think further based on what Duan Shan said.

He unfolded the map and placed it on the table. He pointed his finger at the location of Lanyuan Town on the map, moved it to the left little by little, and finally stopped at Xuanchi Mansion, which was across the vast sea of ​​sand from Lanyuan Town.

After that, his finger did not continue to move towards the direction of Huozhou, but suddenly moved upwards and stopped at the area marked with the words "Xuanfeng Stone Forest".

"Xuanfeng Stone Forest?" Duan Shan held her chin and muttered softly, "I remember there was a fairy gate deep in the stone forest. It seemed to be called Yu..."

"Shh!" Baili Ling suddenly interrupted Duan Shan. After several seconds, he remembered that he had already taken measures in the room to prevent people from having ears through the walls.

Feeling Duan Shan's puzzled gaze, he coughed awkwardly a few times to cover himself up, pretending to be nonchalant, and said, "General Ye sent Xiao to Huozhou on the pretext that his friend from the Yufeng Sect fell into a coma and only someone in Huozhou could wake him up."

Duan Shan took over his conversation and continued, "It's normal for people to go in and visit a friend when they pass by him."

Baili Ling said, "If your guess is true, perhaps General Ye doesn't want Xiao to visit this friend.

To be precise, he didn't want Xiao to make any moves that would deviate from the right path on the way to Huozhou. It would be best to reach Huozhou directly.

So, he invited us because he hoped that we could use our rich experience to plan the route?

Why didn’t you say so earlier? "

A nameless anger surged up in him, and his tone became increasingly angry.

He really hates the client who doesn't make the requirements clear at the beginning and instead makes him guess.

Since he led the expert adventure team, he has rarely encountered such a party A. Now that he suddenly encountered one, he was a little out of control for a moment.

Duan Shan was not affected by his emotions, and her tone remained calm: "Should we change our route?"

Baili Ling took a deep breath to calm himself down and shook his head. "A sudden change of route might arouse suspicion. Tomorrow, find a chance to test Xiao's attitude and see if he knows that the Imperial Phoenix Sect is near Xuan Chi Mansion."

"it is good."

The two discussed some more specific arrangements, and then Baili Ling prepared to return to his room.

He removed the magic circle in the room, opened the door and was about to leave, but when he saw the handsome young man outside the door, he was suddenly stunned.

"elf?"
