Chapter 12 Xilin Mountains

After half a month, Ma Wen finally received news.

"Yan Jin, get ready and leave tomorrow." Amon said.

"Okay, I'm going to become a soul master soon." Yan Jin cheered excitedly.

Lei Yin and the other children were also happy for her and gathered around her, chattering away.

"Eldest sister has become a soul master. Shouldn't we celebrate and have a good meal?" Morey, a slightly fat girl, said.

"Eat, eat, eat, you know how to eat. You have to save money for my eldest sister to go to school." Lei Yin rubbed her head.

"Hey, when I get the soul ring and come back, we will go to the restaurant to have a big meal." Yan Jin waved his hand and said very proudly.

Amon put down the book in his hand and said softly: "It's best not to set up such a flag, it's very unlucky."

"Huh? Flag?" She said this pronunciation awkwardly, with a look of confusion on her face.

"Before doing something dangerous, you make a promise to others and promise to do what you will do when you come back. Usually in this case, the person will not be able to come back. For example, before a soldier goes off to war, he tells his fiancée that he will come back when the war is over. Married and then died on the battlefield."

Amon shrugged, "Although this is just a superstition, I think it's better to be cautious. There is a force driving the development of destiny."

"Why are you so angry all of a sudden?" Yan Jin approached Amon and stared at him for a while.

Amon slapped the book on Yan Jin's head and walked out of the room, "You may not believe it, it depends on you."

Yan Jin hugged the book, rubbed his head, and said, "Then let's go have a big meal today!"

"Oh!" Morey cheered.

…

Frostleaf City is adjacent to the Xilin Mountains. It stretches for hundreds of kilometers, straddling the sky and the earth like a giant dragon, separating the provinces of Northland and Edfu.

There are a large number of soul beasts living in the Xilin Mountains, which is the first choice for soul masters in Frostleaf City to obtain soul rings.

Amon and Yanjin were waiting at the city gate for the people sent by Ma Wen to assist them.

A man wearing brown leather armor, a black robe, and a black cloth covering his face quietly walked up to them, "Are they you two brats?"

His voice was dry and hoarse, as if there was something blocking it in his throat.

Yan Jin was startled, took a step back, and looked at the ghost-like man in front of her with uncertainty. She was very sure that she was not distracted. Being alert to her surroundings at all times was the secret to her survival until now.

But he suddenly appeared less than two steps in front of him!

"Are you Ms. Ma Wen's?"

"Yes, Glenn, a thirty-level agility attack soul master." Glenn introduced himself according to the etiquette of meeting a soul master.

Amon was stunned. This man was quite polite. This was also the first time someone greeted him according to the official soul master meeting etiquette.

"Amon, a level 12 auxiliary soul master."

"If you're all ready, let's go."

Walking on the vast frost-leaf plain, the green grassland can be seen as far as the eye can see. The mountains in the distance are looming, and animals such as horses and elk gallop by from time to time.

"The summer in the North is very short. You have chosen a good time. If it is winter, you will have to brave half a meter of snow for a long journey, which is very dangerous." Glenn said.

"It's just luck." Amon smiled, "Mr. Glenn, what kind of job are you doing under Ma Wen?"

"Killer." Glenn said coldly, "For example, kill those who made her lose money."

He glanced at the two of them, and the indifference in his eyes made Yan Jin shudder. As if she felt this was a bit embarrassing, she opened her eyes wide and stared back.

Amon didn't care and said easily: "That's great, we won't be your target."

"hope so."

The three of them walked all day and finally came to a small market at the foot of the mountain.

This is a campsite formed spontaneously due to the mountain goods trade, and the people coming and going are mainly merchants, hunters, and mercenaries.

Amon discovered that the proportion of soul masters in the camp was not high, and many of them were ordinary people. Moreover, the goods on the street stalls were basically the furs of ordinary beasts, with only a few exuding soul power fluctuations.

He couldn't help but ask: "How dare you go into the mountains to hunt without being a soul master?"

"There are fewer soul beasts in the outer areas. Most of them are ten-year-old soul beasts. Even ordinary people can deal with them." Glenn replied, "After all, there are only a few soul masters in this world."

"Want to take a ride? Does anyone want to take a ride? The carriage back to Frostleaf City only costs one Gintama Coin."

In the distance, someone was shouting.

"Perhaps, we should come here by carriage. This can save a lot of time and effort." Amon said while holding the lens.

Glenn's steps stagnated. He was only thinking about how to leave a strong and cold impression on these two brats, and forgot about this.

After a moment of silence, he said calmly: "I have said that I am a killer under Lord Ma Wen, and it is necessary for me to keep my whereabouts secret."

At this moment, a rugged man walked by and greeted enthusiastically: "Isn't this Glenn? I heard that you are going to take two little ghosts to hunt slimes? Is that them? We just happened to enter Do you want to go hunting in the mountains?"

Yan Jin murmured in a low voice: "Didn't you say that you want to keep your whereabouts secret? Why do I feel like everyone knows it?"

Glenn's forehead twitched and he refused: "No, I'm not used to acting with too many people."

Then, he looked at Yan Jin and said, "The man just now is called Collier. He is one of the suppliers of our Ice Thorn Chamber of Commerce and has some strength. In order to help you find the slime with fire attribute, Lord Ma Wen issued a reward for information a while ago. It is not surprising that he knows it.

We will rest here for one night today, and go into the mountains to hunt soul rings tomorrow, so as not to let those slimes run to other places or die in accidents after a long time. If everything goes well, it can be done in one day."

Amon nodded, "Listen to you."

Glenn stopped in front of a shop and rented two tents.

He took Amon to the edge of the camp and started to set up.

While Glenn hammered the ground nails into the soil with a hammer, he reminded: "Don't sleep too deeply at night. It's not just wild animals that can bring danger, but also people. Although the most basic order is generally maintained in the camp and no one will act arbitrarily, this is not absolute."

"I never lose my vigilance." Amon said with a chuckle.

Knowing that entering the Xilin Mountains was dangerous, how could he not make any preparations? He came here with only his original body and two clones, and the other two clones were far away in Frost Leaf City.

Even if his original body died due to an accident, it would not affect his continued survival. He is Amon, and all the Amons together make him complete.

After his original body died, his consciousness and personality would be transferred to any clone to form a new original body.

But the price of death is a bit high. The original body is at least ten levels higher than all other clones. If the original body's status is transferred and the new original body's level is not enough, the soul power level of the other clones will also decrease accordingly.

So Amon will not take risks with his original body casually.
