I tricked you into thinking you had the makings of an emperor, but you actually did it?

The disciples of the Xuantian Sect's nine mountain peaks each have different skills, from martial arts to daily duties.

Tongtian Peak is the main peak, and it contains the Hall of Rewards and Punishments and the Hall of Merit Transmission.

The disciples of the main peak generally want to join the Hall of Rewards and Punishments and become prestigious law enforcement disciples.

Shen Ming didn't have that kind of ambition. He came from a first-class family and didn't need to work hard to earn cultivation resources like other disciples.

However, the Xuantian Sect requires all inner disciples to complete seven days of duty each month.

Shen Ming disliked people who sought special treatment, so he didn't try to be special either, and obediently went to the Service Hall on the main peak.

"So you're Shen Ming? Go patrol the Spirit Beast Mountain."

The senior brother on duty at the Hall of Duty was named Li Liang. He took the token from him, saw the name on it, and smiled inexplicably.

Shen Ming didn't think much of it and asked what precautions to take.

"The spirit beasts of Spirit Beast Mountain are all in their own areas, and each area has restrictions. Your task is to ensure that the restrictions are intact. For details, ask your senior brothers and sisters who are with you."

"Thank you, senior brother, for clarifying my doubts."

Seeing his sincere face and attitude, Li Liang felt a little guilty.

"Yes, watch more and learn more."

Li Liang couldn't help but give a word of advice, then pressed the side with the name on it, stained with red mud, onto the wooden board that read 'Spirit Beast Mountain'.

"Having seven stamps means you've completed your duties for the month."

"Ok."

……

The Spirit Beast Mountain covers an area of ​​more than ten square kilometers. In Shen Ming's words, it is a large wildlife park, where spirit beasts live in different areas.

The restrictions placed in various locations act as invisible fences, ensuring that the spirit beasts cannot escape.

The task of the patrolling disciples is to ensure that everything is normal and to eliminate any potential hazards.

Such a large mountain wouldn't be visited by Shen Ming alone.

More than ten disciples from various peaks met at the foot of the mountain.

"Senior Brother Yang Hao, we have some things to take care of. We'll treat you to drinks tonight."

The three disciples appeared briefly, greeted their senior brother from Spirit Beast Mountain, and then left.

This is basically just signing in and then skipping work!

With fewer people, there's more work to do, and Shen Ming and the other disciples who stayed behind are the ones who suffer.

Observing the reactions of the other disciples, some were unsurprised, while others dared not speak out against their anger.

Shen Ming had no right to speak about others, because he, too, remained silent.

Yang Hao, the senior brother, is at the third level of the Innate Realm and is in charge of various affairs of the Spirit Beast Mountain.

Wherever there are people, there will be such injustice, even in another world!

Do you also want to leave with them?

Yang Hao had been paying attention to this area for a while and noticed the change in his expression.

"I don't want to," Shen Ming said.

If Yang Hao asked, "Are you convinced or not?", Shen Ming would directly answer, "No."

He couldn't understand sarcasm; he only thought that if he left, it would be even more unfair to the other disciples.

"..."

Yang Hao frowned. Shen Ming's serious expression made him unable to use his strength to launch an attack.

But don't worry, the main event is yet to come.

"This is your patrol route. Return to your original location before dark."

Yang Hao produced more than a dozen sheepskin maps.

If the three people in front of you hadn't left, there would be one card for each of you.

The three extra maps are now randomly distributed among the unlucky ones.

The three unlucky guys were in charge of two routes, and if they weren't fast enough, they wouldn't be back before dark.

"No wonder they didn't say a word; they were hoping they wouldn't be the ones to suffer."

Apart from the three unlucky ones, the other disciples all breathed a sigh of relief.

Including Shen Ming, he was not one of the three unlucky ones.

He was somewhat surprised; judging from Yang Hao's demeanor earlier, he had thought Yang Hao was targeting him.

"Go."

Yang Hao was not satisfied with just making Shen Ming walk a little further.

Shen Ming and his disciples dispersed and headed up the mountain.

On Spirit Beast Mountain, there are rare and exotic beasts everywhere, including giant pythons with two heads and fierce tigers with two wings.

On the lush green grassland, there are also magnificent dragon horses, which can travel a thousand miles a day.

Layers of restrictions divided the spirit beasts into different areas.

The so-called restrictions are runes containing strange powers, engraved on rocks and trees.

Shen Ming quickly found the first restrictive rune on his route.

It is engraved on a natural rock and emits a bluish-green light even in broad daylight.

Not far from the rocks was a pond, with a piece of dead wood floating on the surface.

Upon closer inspection, you'll notice two eyes on it.

The Tyrant Crocodile is an extremely ferocious creature among spirit beasts.

Shen Ming did not approach the water area, and after confirming that the restrictive runes were intact, he continued on his way.

Half a day later, he found himself in a lush jungle.

He pushed aside the bushes in front of him and found the restrictive runes on the tree trunk.

Ok?

Shen Ming's expression hardened. The restrictive runes resembled ink spreading out, their light gradually fading.

At the same time, he sensed a colossal creature rapidly approaching.

A gorilla hopped and leaped to the front of you in a few steps, creating a very intimidating atmosphere!

Shen Ming realized that the gorilla had been squatting not far away, motionless, and its enormous body had made him think it was a boulder.

Without saying a word, Shen Ming squatted down and lowered his head.

He recalled a science video he had seen before, which showed that although gorillas are large animals, they do not easily attack others.

Unless you keep staring into the gorilla's eyes, you'll be in for a bloody disaster.

Shen Ming wasn't 100% sure it would work, and it would be a lie to say he wasn't nervous.

The gorilla stood beside him, seemingly satisfied with his actions, and did not continue its attack.

Suddenly, the gorilla sniffed the air and began pacing back and forth, restless.

The restrictive runes were about to completely dissipate, and Shen Ming was secretly anxious, not knowing what to do.

The moment the restriction lost its effect, the gorilla shot out like an arrow.

Shen Ming was somewhat helpless; he encountered this kind of thing on his first day of patrolling the mountain.

Judging from the gorilla's reaction, it seems to be going to find its enemy to fight.

I wonder which unlucky person it was.

……

At the foot of the mountain, Yang Hao was lying leisurely on the grass, his eyes slightly closed, humming a little tune.

"Senior Brother Yang, the ancient ape won't kill him, will it?" The little follower was a bit worried.

He was the one who broke the restrictive runes; if something really goes wrong, he might be the one to take the blame.

"Do you think of the ancient ape as some other low-intelligence wild beast? It doesn't eat people, nor is it bloodthirsty. Even if it wanders into its territory, it will just beat them up," Yang Hao said.

He has never had close contact with ancient apes, but after years of observation, he is still confident in this.

Ok? !

Suddenly, Yang Hao sat up straight, pricked up his ears and listened for a while, his expression gradually becoming excited.

The little follower also heard the ground shaking!

"Little Gu!"

Yang Hao saw that he was rushing towards them from the mountain, disregarding everything!

Sure enough, his feeling was right; he and Xiao Hei had developed deep feelings for each other.

Yang Hao felt that the world had become a better place.

His lackey instinctively distanced himself; he sensed something was wrong.

"what?"

Yang Hao also discovered that his beloved Xiao Gu had no brakes.

He rushed in front of him and slammed his huge fist into his body.

In an instant, Yang Hao flew more than ten meters away like a kite with a broken string.

The ancient ape, still not satisfied, jumped onto the body and swung its fists, smashing it repeatedly.
