Lord of the Star Ocean

"Brother Tieshan, thank you for the Heichao pork you sent today..."

Nie Feng put down his wine glass and asked bluntly: "I heard from my sister-in-law that you need me for something?"

Tieshan rubbed his head and said, "Actually, Big Brother Wei is looking for you."

Nie Feng couldn't help looking at Wei Hongyi, who smiled slightly and said, "Brother Nie, I just received a big job, I don't know if you are interested."

A big job is a big task, and it is also a commissioned task with generous rewards. The big job that Wei Hongyi received was an escort task, guarding an astrologer to explore an ancient Qin ruins deep in the wild area.

Although Haoyuan Star is a barbaric immigrant star that the Xianluo Empire opened up less than a hundred years ago, Haoyuan Star had already been discovered in the era when the ancient Qin Empire ruled Xinghai, and there were immigrant cities.

It’s just that the vicissitudes of time, today’s city-state has long been reduced to ruins, covered by virgin forests, and for today’s new immigrants, these ruins have great exploration value.

Quite a few treasure hunters who changed jobs from hunters often go deep into the wilderness to search for these relics. If they are lucky, one harvest can make them live comfortably for the rest of their lives.

But the lucky ones are always very few, and most of the treasure hunters never come back after entering the wilderness.

In addition to treasure hunters, there are also some astrologers who hire hunting teams or even hunting groups to search and unearth lost ruins for various purposes. Such tasks occasionally appear in the star tower.

"The mission reward this time is very high..."

Wei Hongyi explained: "I originally planned not to enter the mountains this year, but I really don't want to bear this task. Our Bailing hunting team is also qualified to take this task!"

Nie Feng couldn't help asking: "What reward?"

Wei Hongyi said: "After the guards are completed, each person will have 300 star points and 50 contribution points!"

Three hundred star points plus fifty contribution points!

Nie Feng was taken aback immediately, no wonder Wei Hongyi was so moved.

Three hundred star points are already very generous, and fifty contribution points are even more rare, especially for Nie Feng who intends to improve his star card level, it has a great temptation.

What he currently holds is the lowest-level black iron star card, which has relatively few functions and a small capacity to store information. It is very troublesome to buy a large number of books from the star tower.

But if you want to upgrade your star card, in addition to having enough star points, you must also have a contribution.

Contribution degree is different from star point, it cannot be traded directly, and the difficulty of obtaining it is much higher than star point.

So far, Nie Feng has saved more than 200 star points, and the quest contribution is only a few. The last mission of the earth rhino horn that he took in the star tower has not been completed, and there is still a big gap between the requirements for upgrading the star card.

But now, as long as he completes this task with Wei Hongyi, the contribution is enough!

Nie Feng thought for a while, then asked again: "Is it long?"

In more than half a month, Nie Feng will participate in the star stage martial arts competition. If the task takes too long, he can only reluctantly give up, because he will never give up this important competition no matter what.

By winning the top ten positions in the Xingtai Martial Arts Trial, Nie Feng will be able to repay the karmic favor owed to Wan Shangzhi.

As for the contribution, if you miss this opportunity, you can still accumulate enough by doing more tasks in the future.

Wei Hongyi replied: "It will take about ten days. The ruins are in the Meteor Mountain Range, about five or six hundred miles away from Nanyuan City, and it takes about six or seven days to go back and forth."

Nie Feng focused his gaze: "It's a bit far away..."

The wild area of ​​Haoyuan Star is vast and boundless, and the immigrant cities are all built in relatively safe peripheral areas, which are actually considered peripheral after five or six hundred miles, but it is already very deep for the Bailing Hunting Team.

That means great danger. If you encounter a beast of the third or fourth rank, it is normal for the entire army to be wiped out!

Wei Hongyi smiled and said: "It's a bit far away, but they hire more than our hunting team, and the employer is an astrologer!"

Astrologers are Primordial Spirit cultivators, their number is much smaller than Star Warriors, and they are quite mysterious.

After an astrologer opens up the sea of ​​consciousness and condenses the primordial spirit, the spiritual power, the so-called power of the primordial spirit, will become very powerful, and he can use the ubiquitous star energy in the surrounding space to display various techniques.

Astrologers include astrologists, star array masters, alchemists, casting masters, etc. Among them, astrologers who practice magic arts have the strongest combat ability, but they are quite fragile and difficult to defend against close enemies, so they often need the protection of star warriors.

Going deep into the wilderness to explore the ruins, the astrologer must be inseparable from the guards of the star fighters!

Nie Feng pondered for a moment, then nodded: "Count me in."

Wei Hongyi smiled and said, "I'll just wait for your words!"

He didn't hide his urgency to want Nie Feng to join the mission, because the rewards of this mission are very generous, which means that it is very dangerous.

The escort mission must first protect the employer. Even if there are multiple hunting teams participating together, it is nothing at all in the dangerous and unpredictable wilderness. No one can guarantee a safe journey.

Under such circumstances, Wei Hongyi needed the support of Nie Feng's powerful combat power very much.

Nie Feng's performance in the last mission undoubtedly left a deep impression on Wei Hongyi, that's why he asked Tieshan to invite Nie Feng over today.

In fact, in Wei Hongyi's heart, he hoped that Nie Feng would really join the Bailing hunting team.

...

On the morning of the third day after meeting Wei Hongyi, Nie Feng packed up and left home again.

He joined the team at the gate of the west city.

When Nie Feng rushed over, many teams had already gathered at the gate of the city, a total of forty or fifty people, plus camel and beast pack carts, it was like a small hunting group.

Most of the star warriors are black iron warriors, most of them are advanced cultivation bases, four of them have reached the top level like Wei Hongyi, and there is also a silver warrior!

But Nie Feng did not see his employer in the crowd, that is, the astrologer.

"Sitting in the car..."

Wei Hongyi pointed to a cart parked on the side of the road not far away, and said in a low voice, "It's said to be two stars."

The realm of astrologers is divided from one star to nine stars, one star is equivalent to a black iron warrior, and two stars are a silver warrior.

In terms of battle, star warriors are naturally crushed against alchemists, casters and other astrologers, but it is very difficult to fight against astrologers and star formation masters of the same rank.

The two-star fortune teller is already an existence that should not be underestimated. In terms of status, it is definitely far above a black iron warrior like Wei Hongyi.

But on the other hand, with this second astrologer in the team, it would be much safer.

This is also one of the important reasons why Wei Hongyi is willing to take on this task!

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! !
