#2245 - Do you think you are the long-silent Hajime?
The third-level area of the Secret Realm is distinctly different from the second-level area.
After Jun Wuxie and the others entered this vast area, the quality of the heaven and earth's Yuan Qi was much higher than that of the second-level area, and the concentration was also slightly higher.
In order not to attract attention, they all changed their appearances and flew along the route on the map.
The next day, they saw a magnificent and ancient city on the horizon.
Obviously, that city should be the central city of the third-level area.
This vast third-level area is called Hanzhou.
Activating his pupils, across the distant distance, he could clearly see the name on the city gate — Hanzhou Ancient City.
Its city walls are much taller than the original Qingfeng City, and the area is more than ten times that of the original Qingfeng City.
Compared to the current Junyue City, it is also much larger.
After all, Junyue City is still under expansion, and it will take a long time to complete.
Outside the city, there is a very wide moat, and a bridge crosses the moat, connecting the open city gate.
On both sides of the city gate stood two rows of guards with knives, all of whom were powerful experts in the eighth level, equivalent to the late stage of the Tyrant God Realm to the peak realm.
Many people could be seen coming and going.
It has been more than ten days since the opening of the third-level area.
Many adventurers have gathered here to practice in Hanzhou and obtain resources.
Jun Wuxie and the others headed towards the city, and did not attract the attention of others along the way.
They, who had changed their appearances, looked unremarkable and very ordinary.
The streets in the city were very wide and flat, and the streets were very lively, with shops lining both sides.
The streets were bustling with people, in addition to the adventurers from the outside world, there were also a large number of aborigines.
They went all the way to the central square of the city, and heard many people talking along the way.
Many people mentioned the same thing.
"Are you really not going to take a look? If we are lucky enough to succeed, we will definitely get unimaginable benefits!"
"You better stop it. Is that place something people like us can get close to?
The City Lord's Mansion has been offering rewards for these days, and you know how many people have gone, and none of them have come back alive.
Even if there is a Substitute Talisman, dying once also has the possibility of dropping an exclusive divine artifact. It's just a loss, not a profit, unless you're out of your mind to go!"
"That's right, not to mention us, how many powerful people have those big forces gathered, but without exception, they were all wiped out.
That place is too terrifying. Even the Emperor and the Chosen Son of Destiny were defeated and died there, resurrecting in the City's Life Crystal.
They went there twice in a row, and the ending was the same.
Since then, those two geniuses who were hailed as being more dazzling than Shi have given up, let alone you and me!"
"Hehe, that... I was just saying.
The reward for that bounty mission is so perverted, I wonder how rich it is.
It's a pity that no one can complete it."
"No one dares to accept a task that the Emperor and the Chosen Son of Destiny cannot complete?
Not only is it a waste of death, but it also wastes a lot of time and money. Substitute Talismans and Divine Travel Talismans are not cheap.
It's better to put your mind on other secret realms.
As long as you go to the Odd Goods Merchant to buy a Seal Breaking Talisman, you can break the seal of some secret realms.
People like the Emperor and the Chosen Son of Destiny have been picking up resources in the secret realm these days until they are sick of it.
Speaking of which, it has been a long time since there was any movement about Shi. It is really like a flash in the pan, brilliant and short-lived.
It seems that Shi's luck has come to an end. Now he has been distanced by the Emperor and the Chosen Son of Destiny. In the future, if he wants to catch up, it is almost hopeless under the ebb and flow."
...
Along the way, Jun Wuxie heard many topics about bounty missions.
Without exception, everyone who mentioned the bounty mission was extremely afraid of it.
From it, he obtained a lot of information.
The place where the bounty mission is located is extremely dangerous. A large number of powerful people from various forces went there, and all failed.
The Emperor and the Chosen Son of Destiny had been there twice, both were defeated, and finally chose to give up.
What surprised him was that the Odd Goods Merchant in this Hanzhou Ancient City actually directly sold Seal Breaking Talismans?
However, it can be learned from the discussions of passers-by that the Seal Breaking Talismans sold by the Odd Goods Merchant are not able to break the seals of any secret realm, but can only break the seals of some secret realms.
Even so, directly selling Seal Breaking Talismans undoubtedly accelerated the speed at which adventurers obtained resources in the Secret Realm, and accelerated the progress of the Secret Realm era.
The central square in the city is very vast.
In the middle of the square, a huge crystal floats in the air three feet above the ground, flowing with crystal light.
The crystal is covered by a life energy barrier, forming a罩子 of thousands of meters in radius.
Jun Wuxie and the others entered the barrier and left a mark in the Life Crystal.
There were many people coming and going in the square, and the location of the Life Crystal was the same.
His eyes swept over, and in the area near the edge of the square, he saw many people gathered.
There was a notice board there, and a large number of adventurers gathered in front of the notice board.
There were many guards with knives standing on both sides of the notice board.
From a distance, Jun Wuxie saw the bounty notice posted on the notice board.
It's just that someone is blocking the line of sight, and the specific content of the bounty notice cannot be seen clearly.
"Let's go and take a look."
He was still very interested in the bounty content.
The difficulty is very high, indicating that the reward is rich.
Most importantly, what exactly is in that area that people talk about with fear? This is what he is very curious about.
Arriving at the notice board area, Jun Wuxie squeezed in, and then he could see the bounty content above clearly.
It did not clearly write out what the bounty mission was, but only said that it was searching for warriors in the entire region to solve the disaster of Hanzhou. The specific matters can only be known by meeting the City Lord. Those who have confidence can take down the bounty notice.
It also stated that the bounty notice was set with a restriction, and those who were not outstanding in ability could not take it down.
There were many people watching, but no one took down the bounty notice.
A small number of people were eager to try, but hesitated.
Jun Wuxie took a few steps forward and came to the bounty notice.
Everyone was stunned. Was he going to take down the bounty notice?
"Another one who overestimates his abilities.
Even geniuses and supreme beings like the Emperor and the Chosen Son of Destiny were defeated and eventually gave up. It is simply an impossible task at this stage.
Someone is blindly inflated, thinking that they are stronger than the Emperor and the Chosen Son of Destiny, hahaha!"
"I said, fellow Taoist, what are you doing with him? As the saying goes, it is difficult to persuade a ghost who deserves to die.
If he wants to take it down, let him take it down. We'll just watch it as a joke.
Not to mention going there to complete the mission, I think he is ordinary and afraid that he doesn't even have the strength to take down the notice!"
"Hahaha, that makes sense. This bounty notice is not so easy to take down.
That requires a genius, a dragon among men, to be able to resist the restriction on it and take down the notice.
In the past few days, how many people have come to take down the notice, but most of them were shaken by the restriction on the notice and fell to the ground, unable to get up for a long time.
The world is never short of people who inflate themselves and want to show off to prove themselves.
Everyone thinks that they are unique and the chosen one, but in the end they become a joke."
...
Many people around mocked.
Mainly, they have seen too much these days.
Especially at the beginning, there were many people who wanted to take down the notice, but few who could really take it down, and most of them ended up with bruised faces, making people laugh.
"Fellow Taoist, you should take it down. Whether you can succeed or not, I admire your courage and confidence."
"Yes, take it down quickly, we are waiting to see a good show."
People followed suit, wanting to see this person who overestimated his abilities make a fool of himself.
Jun Wuxie smiled faintly, and did not bother with the crowd. He reached out and grabbed the upper right corner of the bounty notice.
Suddenly, the bounty notice lit up, and pieces of rune power spread out.
People were waiting to see a joke, thinking that this person would be blown away immediately.
As a result, the smiles on their faces froze.
I saw that the young man completely ignored the restriction of the bounty notice and actually tore it down at will.
No matter how the rune power on the bounty notice impacted his body and hands, it could not shake him in the slightest.
"How is that possible!
He is so relaxed, he didn't even release the Law True Qi to resist!"
"I'm going, I admit that I was blind and misjudged!
I thought it was bronze, but I didn't expect it to be a king!"
"This is a master, stronger than most of the people who have taken down the notice in the past, and he is performing more easily!
It seems that he should be on the list.
It's just, why does he look so unfamiliar.
We have seen almost all of the top 100 on the list, right?
Where did this fierce man come from!"
"Strong is strong, there is no doubt, but the probability of completing the bounty mission is zero.
The Emperor and the Chosen Son of Destiny could not complete it, let alone others.
No matter how excellent he is, can he compare with the Emperor and the Chosen Son of Destiny?
It's not that I despise him, but the Emperor and the Chosen Son of Destiny are too strong.
In contrast, this strong man is probably very different from them.
In the end, he will just go to that area to die, and then resurrect in the Life Crystal."
"Adventurer, you have taken down the bounty notice and passed the preliminary test of the warrior bounty.
Now, you can take the notice to the City Lord's Mansion to meet the City Lord, at which time the City Lord will inform you of all the information about the bounty mission."
A guard captain walked up to Jun Wuxie and said.
Jun Wuxie nodded and turned to leave.
The crowd who had originally mocked him couldn't help but give way, no longer daring to despise him, and even showing fear.
Being able to take down the bounty notice is enough to show that he is a stunning genius with amazing strength.
Not to mention the powerful backing behind such a person, their own strength alone is not something they can afford to offend.
Wan, Qingyue, Qinqi, Shuhua followed him as he left, quickly disappearing from the plaza.
"You wait for me here."
Upon arriving at the City Lord's mansion, he informed the guard about the bounty. The guard glanced at it and led him into the mansion, taking him directly to the entrance of the City Lord's study.
"Reporting to the City Lord, another brave warrior has come to answer the call."
"Enter."
The City Lord's voice was very calm, lacking the anticipation of previous days.
In the beginning, his heart was full of expectation, especially when the Emperor and the Son of Destiny arrived.
He originally thought that these two geniuses, who were recently the most dazzling on the rankings, would be exceptionally capable and blessed with great fortune, perhaps capable of resolving that hidden danger.
But unexpectedly, even those two suffered setbacks twice and ultimately gave up on the mission voluntarily.
He is very worried now, seeing that the hidden danger there is constantly increasing with the passage of time, but he can't find a solution.
He has lost hope that the trainees can solve the hidden danger.
But since he can't find other ways, he can only continue to post bounty missions.
"You can go in."
Outside the door, the guard said to Jun Wuxie.
Then, he took two steps back and hurriedly left.
Pushing open the door, Jun Wuxie saw at a glance the Lord of Hanzhou Ancient City sitting behind the desk in the room.
This is an old man with white hair and beard, appearing to be around seventy years old, but in reality, no one knows how many years he has lived.
The lifespan of creatures in the Secret Realm, at this realm, is far less than the lifespan of strong individuals in the outside world in their own realms.
But living for ten thousand years is still not a problem.
The City Lord of Hanzhou Ancient City has obviously reached his twilight years, his life essence is declining, and his life has reached its final stage.
"Close the door."
The City Lord of Hanzhou stood up from behind the desk. From his expression, it could be seen that he was in low spirits.
"Since you have posted the bounty notice, this City Lord will follow the procedure and tell you about the bounty mission.
By the way, what is your name?"
The City Lord of Hanzhou stood behind the desk, not even in the mood to walk out.
He had no hope for this trainee at all.
"City Lord seems to be lacking in enthusiasm. Do you think I have no chance of completing the bounty mission?"
Jun Wuxie smiled and walked to the chair next to him and sat down.
The City Lord of Hanzhou couldn't help but frown slightly upon seeing this.
This trainee is too presumptuous.
In front of him, he dared to be so casual, taking a seat without his permission!
Even the most dazzling Emperor and Son of Destiny on the rankings recently had never been so casual when they saw him.
"Young man, this City Lord admires your courage and boldness for posting the bounty notice.
But young people still need to know how to be low-key and humble, and they also need to understand the rules."
The City Lord of Hanzhou came to Jun Wuxie, exuding an aura of majesty, his eyes staring at him sharply.
"City Lord, which do you think is more important, solving the hidden danger or the so-called rules?
These rules also depend on the person.
Could it be that treating a brave warrior who can help you solve the hidden danger, merely taking a seat would break the City Lord's rules? Then the City Lord's sincerity is too perfunctory."
"You actually dare to contradict this City Lord like this!
Even the Emperor and the Son of Destiny would not dare to be so presumptuous in front of this City Lord.
Do you think you are the long-silent Shi?
Young man, this City Lord can let it go.
If you want to take on the mission, you need to tell this City Lord, what is your name!"
"Coincidentally, my name happens to be Shi."
As Jun Wuxie spoke, the Eight Nine Profound Light flowed around his body, restoring his previous appearance from Qingfeng City.
The City Lord of Hanzhou was shocked.
His pupils suddenly contracted, his eyes staring at him fixedly.
Immediately, he strode forward and grabbed his arms, "Are you really Shi?"
"Speak nicely, don't use your hands and feet."
As soon as he finished speaking, he moved his mind, and the Heaven-Given Battle Garment covered his whole body.
"It's really you!"
Seeing the Heaven-Given Battle Garment, the City Lord of Hanzhou was full of surprise.
At this moment, of course, he no longer had any doubts.
The Heaven-Given Battle Garment is the exclusive artifact that the Heavenly Dao rewarded Shi.
As the City Lord of a third-level city, how could he not know that the Heaven-Given Battle Garment recognizes its owner and cannot be transferred to others.
Therefore, the one who can wear the Heaven-Given Battle Garment must be Shi, there can be no other possibility!
"Now that the City Lord believes it, can you let go?"
Jun Wuxie lowered his eyes and looked at the City Lord's hands grabbing his arms.
"Ah, I'm sorry, this old man was too excited."
The City Lord of Hanzhou hurriedly released his hands, and no longer referred to himself as This City Lord, his face full of embarrassment, but his heart was incomparably excited.
Although Shi has been silent for a while.
During this period, the Emperor and the Son of Destiny were honored, and they have surpassed Shi on some rankings.
But in his heart, Shi's strength will definitely not be weaker than those two.
After all, Shi has created many legends of killing high-grade evil demons across realms with his bare hands!
