Through the array painter

"Excuse me, have you already registered for a team?" the woman asked.

An Qijin: "Not yet."

"In this case, let me take the two of you to register first."

After completing the tedious steps, the woman led the two of them to a row of seats and took out several stacks of books.

"Since the two of you are newcomers who have just registered, I suggest that you can take some simple tasks first, familiarize yourself with the environment, and when you are almost familiar with it, you can take some tasks that match your strength."

After hearing this, both of them remained silent.

The woman seemed to have seen such people a lot, so she didn't explain too much, and looked through the task book for them.

He Ze pointed to a page: "What is this?"

The woman looked at it and replied: "This is a task that has been released for a long time, and no one has been able to complete it so far. The reward at the beginning is not this, but the publisher of the task is very persistent and keeps increasing the reward."

An Qijin looked at the words on it: Looking for the fruit of life in the dense forest of Tekank.

"What's different about this mission?"

"First of all, the Tecank jungle is very dangerous. It is the top five dangerous forests in the mainland. Secondly, the fruit of life grows on the tree of life, and the owner of the tree of life lives in the core of the jungle, and there are a lot of traps inside. And ferocious beasts. Anyone who took this task either couldn’t come back, or came back and became insane. Over time, no one took it again.”

He Ze looked at this task thoughtfully.

The woman continued: "I'm afraid this task will be withdrawn immediately, because the person who issued the task needs to be treated soon... hey..."

An Qijin said, "We'll choose this."

"Ah?" The woman thought she didn't introduce clearly: "This task is very difficult. Although you two have very high levels of cultivation, it's better not to be reckless."

"That's what we need. Does it mean that after we take over the task, others won't be able to take it?" An Qijin asked.

Seeing that An Qijin was determined, the woman could only reply, "Yes, once you take over, you won't release it to others, but if you don't come back after three months, the task will be canceled automatically."

"Yes." An Qijin replied.

After confirming again and again, An Qijin and He Ze still received the task.

The quest doesn't provide anything other than finding the Fruit of Life.

An Qijin and He Ze were very well equipped, so they didn't take any rest and walked directly to the extremely rough and dense forest.

He Ze said to An Qijin on the way: "Jin, this task is not easy at first glance, or let's think about it."

An Qijin: "I've come here, so I should go and have a look."

"But I'm worried..."

An Qijin patted He Ze on the shoulder: "Don't worry, it's fine."

"Forget it!" He Ze stopped, and I had a bad premonition in my heart.

An Qijin looked at He Ze helplessly.

He Ze continued: "I know you accepted this mission because you found out that I wanted that prize, but that thing is not necessary, and I don't want to put us in danger because of it."

An Qijin walked back to He Ze: "Since you want that prize, let's go for it. It's not your style to give up without trying. What's wrong today?"

He Ze shook his head, "I just..."

An Qijin said sternly: "Xiaohe, I know that you are so worried because you think you are afraid of accidents, but you won't get hurt if you don't have experience. You are worried that something will happen to me because of this prize, but what I think in my heart is that I want to put things in the right place. In front of you. Besides, this matter is not my own business, you also have to help, don't hesitate, okay, let's face it together?"

After He Ze heard An Qijin's words just now, he immediately untied it. It was because he cared too much about An Qijin that he didn't know what to do, "You're right, since we met, we should There is no reason to give up, and we will succeed."

After speaking, he smiled and walked to the front.

An Qijin quickly followed.

They still drove the carriage, but the carriage could only go to the edge of the dense forest. Neither the terrain nor the vegetation inside allowed the carriage to pass smoothly.

After storing the carriage in a small shop dedicated to storing carriages at the edge of the dense forest, the two walked in.

The dense forest deserves to be called a dense forest. When I first entered, I felt that there were too many trees. After walking dozens of steps and looking back, I could no longer see the entrance behind me.

"This dense forest is so unique." He Ze said looking at the gurgling water.

Only in this dense forest can I feel the insignificance of people. Looking up, there are green leaves and unknown plants entangled with each other.

"Let's check around first, don't rush in." An Qijin said.

"En." He Ze thought the same way, after all, the more he walked inside, the more he couldn't find his way.

It would be nice to have a map, but the reason why this dense forest is dangerous is because the things inside it will change drastically after a period of time, and there is no exact base map to guide people.

An Qijin and the two were walking along a small path, when An Qijin suddenly grabbed He Ze and hid behind a big tree.

He Ze followed An Qijin's movements, carefully sensed his surroundings, and found someone's voice not far away.

"Brother, this little girl Pianzi has a lot of good things in her body, she alone is worth three people." A man with a thin voice said.

"Hahahaha!" Another hoarse voice sounded: "The people who come here are all stupid. They dare to barge in without knowing anything. Isn't this a fat sheep with a mouthful, so we can't blame us for being cruel and merciless."

"That's right, that's right~~" The man with a high-pitched voice responded, with a hint of flattery in his tone.

He Ze and An Qijin looked at each other, heard the footsteps gradually leaving, winked, and followed quietly.

Passing by the place where the woman was killed just now, I saw that the woman's neck was cut open with a sharp knife, and the method was extremely skillful and cruel. It seems that these two people did such things a lot.

Following carefully along the way, they found that the two had returned to a dilapidated cabin. He Ze and the others went around the back of the cabin and took a sneak peek inside. There were three other people inside.

When the two of them went in, the man with a hoarse voice was no longer as complacent as he was outside, and handed the things he had found to the man lying on the rocking chair.

The man glanced at it and said, "Not bad."

The husky man nodded and said, "It should."

It can be seen that the five-person group is centered on this man.

This man did not look or dress like a robber. He was wearing a dark blue long gown and held a paper fan in his hand. He looked like a literati.

A small man leaned forward and said, "Boss, if you have anything else to order, we'll do it right away."

The boss looked at the people in the room, and said: "Everyone has worked hard, wait for a short break at noon, and then go out for a stroll. There must be people who just came out, and they can make some money."

The other four responded one after another, saying 'no problem'.

In the afternoon, the hoarse man went out with a high-pitched voice, and He Ze and An Qijin, who had been squatting behind the room for a long time, hurriedly followed.

It has to be said that the cultivation of the two of them has far surpassed most people, and they followed the two robbers without being discovered at all.

After a while, another group of people who came out from the depths of the dense forest were followed by them.

He Ze looked at the group of people, their cultivation level was not low, but all of them were very weak, this situation is not normal.

Because the combat effectiveness of this group of people is basically zero, they are easily imprisoned after being targeted.

"Haha," the shrill voice was very satisfied with each one of them, and laughed unconsciously: "You guys, why go inside if you have nothing to do, aren't you waiting to give us money!"

"Hmph, they are just stupid, they haven't noticed this mutation for so long." The husky man also said with a smile.

The leader of this group frowned and looked at the two of them: "What do you want? We can give you everything on us, just let us go."

The thin voice seemed to hear something funny: "Let you go? How can we make money when you go? It's a whimsical idea. Today you will be the fertilizer in this dense forest."

"You..." The team leader's mind raced to think of a countermeasure.

With a thin voice, he sneered: "Let's leave it to you, me and me, today is your death day~" He raised his knife and walked towards several people.

The team leader stared, and shouted in the direction of An Qijin and He Ze: "Please help me! I will thank you dearly."

"Huh?" The husky man turned his head to look in the direction the team leader was calling.

"Your Excellency! We are from the Liuli Mansion. If you save us, you will be grateful for the rest of your life."

The thin voice was impatient with him talking all the time, so he raised the knife and said, "I'm the first one to cut you off, so you can talk too much!"

The team leader continued to shout: "I have a part of the base map of the depths of the dense forest here, which is the base map of the current terrain. If you need it, I will offer it with both hands."

The husky man saw that the leader's expression did not seem to be fake, so he was going to go over to have a look just in case.

An Qijin didn't wait for him to come over, and attacked first.He Ze followed closely behind, and while assisting An Qijin, he also threw a protective cover over the team leaders.

Originally, He Ze also planned to save them, but when he heard that there was a map, An Qijin also agreed with He Ze's idea.

"You guys!" Xu Shi hadn't fought anyone with a normal level for a long time, and the husky man and the high-pitched voice were a little flustered.

An Qijin didn't care about that, he beat the two of them to the ground and tied them up in a few strokes.

With a shrill voice, he shouted, "Who are you, let us go immediately, do you know who our master is! If you dare to do anything to us, you will be abolished!"

The husky man is also constantly resisting, but he is not stupid with a shrill voice. There is usually a principle in killing people, the loudest ones are killed first.

An Qijin stabilized the two thieves first, and let go of the team leader.

Without further ado, An Qijin stretched out his hand: "Map."

The team leader is also a sense of current affairs, so he quickly took out the map from his pocket and handed it over.

Several other people also kept thanking humbly.

An Qijin was very satisfied with their performance.He was also willing to say a few words, "How did you end up in this kind of situation? It seems that only one cultivation level can subdue those two young men."

The team leader smiled wryly: "We didn't expect that the boat would capsize in the gutter, and almost fell into the hands of these two people. It's just that this dense forest is too weird. We were fine when we went in. We went around and couldn't find a sure way, so we had to come out. But the moment they walked out of the core area, the whole team lost their energy, as if they had been emptied."

"Evacuated?" He Ze asked suspiciously, "Have you ever come into contact with anything, or fell into any formation? How could you be evacuated without knowing it?"

The team leader shook his head: "I don't know, we don't have a clue about this. I suggest you don't go in, it's too weird, and it may be too late to regret it."

He Ze thanked the team leader, but didn't say anything like he couldn't get in.

The team leader knew the attitude of the two people in front of him, and knew that the two had a sense of proportion. Maybe the two had their own means, so there was no need to say anything more.

The team leader also wanted to give An Qijin and He Ze money, array symbols and other things, but was rejected one by one.

An Qijin said: "Do you think we are people who lack these things? You should keep the things yourself, and don't meet anyone again when you go out, or we will save you in vain."

Seeing that An Qijin looked calm, the team leader put away his things.

However, he still left a sentence: "I know that you two are noble people and you don't need anything, but you must repay your life-saving grace. This is my token of Liuli Pavilion. If there is anything that can be used in my place in the future, I will definitely give it to you." If you want to come to Liuli Pavilion to find me, then you will go through fire and water, and it is your duty!"

An Qijin nodded, "I am determined, we will go if there is something to do."

After finishing speaking, he signaled the leader to take his people to leave.

After the leader of the group left, An Qijin turned to the two robbers.

"There is no one now, don't you want to say something?"

An Qijin's expression was too scary, giving them a feeling that if they didn't say something useful, they would be useless.

"I, I, I..." The shrill voice was obviously frightened: "What do you want us to say?"

"Tell me everything you know, why people who come out of the dense forest will be weak, who is your leader, and what other purpose is there. Tell me one by one!"

With a trembling voice, "I, I, I... I don't know. I'm here for money. How about it? I'll give you all the money and let me live!"

An Qijin chuckled a few times, "It seems that you don't know anything, so it's useless to keep it!"

After speaking, he waved his hand, and a fire blade shot out, killing the shrill voice.

"What about you, do you want to tell me what you know?"

The hoarse man's voice moved, and he was still thinking about what to say and how to say it.

"Oh, that's right." An Qijin continued: "It doesn't matter if you tell me or not, anyway, I know where your cabin is, so just ask your boss when the time comes, then you're useless~"

It's a pity that he glanced at the husky man, and raised his hand to repeat the previous action.

"Wait, wait a minute!!!" The husky man was not as calm as before, and shouted at the top of his voice, "I can answer what you ask, don't kill me!"

An Jijin put away his hands: "Okay, tell me."

"I don't know why the people who come out of the dense forest are weak. These are what the boss ordered us to do. I used to be a little thief, stealing things all day long, and one day the boss found me and asked me to work for him. I said I was going to make money, so I came. I haven’t encountered any hard problems in such a long time.”

"How long have you been here?"

The husky man thought for a while: "It's about three months, and I was the first one to come. The others were all brought in by the boss after I came."

"Who is your head?"

"This, I really don't know the real identity of the boss. I only know that he has a high level of cultivation and power behind him. He almost doesn't want the money we robbed. I think it's not for the money to let us do this. Others... ...I really don't know the rest...er...you..." He stared in disbelief, tilted his head, and swallowed his last breath.

An Qijin said: "This kind of person has committed a heinous crime and should have died a long time ago."

He Ze sighed and agreed with An Qijin's approach. Now that these people are spared, how can they be worthy of the so many innocent people they killed before.

He Ze said to An Qijin: "Now shall we go to the boss?"

An Qijin nodded: "It seems that the boss is not easy to mess with. Let's be careful and go find out what's going on. Why do I feel like there's a huge conspiracy coming?"

"Let's go. Just go and ask."

After speaking, He Ze and An Qijin ran over there together.

Coincidentally, they met two other people in the wooden house on the way. They knew about the same as the husky man. After killing them without hesitation, they continued to walk towards the wooden house.

Standing at the door, An Qijin raised his foot and kicked the door open.

The boss stood up, saw an unfamiliar face, and immediately assumed a fighting posture.

Without further ado, the two parties began to fight.

The boss is indeed the boss, and his cultivation base is much stronger than his four little minions.

There are endless array of talismans on his body. If it weren't for He Ze's wealth, he might not be able to determine whether he won or lost.

When the boss was tied up, he was no longer as calm as before.

An Qijin kicked over, "Tell me, why did you gather people here to kill?"

Although the boss was no longer calm, he remained silent.

Seeing that he hadn't spoken for a long time, An Qijin slapped him across the face: "Are you dumb? If you say something, I can spare you. If you don't say anything, see if I don't torture you to death!"

The corner of the boss's mouth was smeared with blood, and his eyes gradually turned gray as he looked at An Qijin.Head tilted, dead.

An Qijin felt as if he had punched the cotton with his fist, and was a little upset.

He Ze looked at the boss and said, "He's like a dead man. He doesn't say a word, and commits suicide if something goes wrong."

An Qijin: "Indeed." As he spoke, he stepped forward to look through the boss's clothes. He didn't even have a space pocket on him, let alone anything else.

"Oops!" An Qijin said.

"what happened?"

An Qijin looked at He Ze and said, "It suddenly occurred to me that if he is a dead man, there must be an ever-burning lamp somewhere, and if he dies, the lamp will go out."

"We've stunned the snake." He Ze was a little annoyed, "We must leave immediately!"

An Qijin glanced around and saw that there was no trace left in the house, so he dragged He Ze away quickly.

Not long after they left, a man in black came to the wooden house, looked at the dead boss inside, and looked around the wooden house. He left without finding any traces.

The boss's cold body has been in the wooden house, and it is estimated that he will always be with the wooden house.

After He Ze and An Qijin left quickly, they took out the base map and went straight into the dense forest.After all, things are changing too fast now, and they are afraid that more things will happen if they don't act.

Holding the base map in his hand, He Ze followed the sign and walked among the towering trees.

"It should be this way!" He Ze pointed to the position to the left.

"What's going on!" He Ze was a little impatient, "I've been walking for half an hour, why are you still walking around here?"

An Qijin said, "Be quiet and don't be impatient."

He Ze has checked carefully, and it is not a labyrinth here, nor is there any trace of human manipulation.

But in this dense forest, with their superb mental strength, how could they keep going around in circles!

Damn!

He Ze felt his feet sink, and something pulled him hard.

An Qijin threw a ball of fire, and He Ze saw a taupe plant retract at his ankle.

"what is this!"

Before He Ze could ask, more and more vines stretched out.Hold An Qijin and He Ze tightly together.

Although vines were afraid of fire, An Qijin didn't dare to use fireballs on a large scale in the deep dense forest, otherwise something more troublesome would be broken.

An Qijin dispersed the vines surrounding the two of them. Taking advantage of this moment, He Ze released a protective circle of earth to cover the two of them.

The rattan waved its hand-like body outside, beating the protective cover made by Heze hard.

Fortunately, He Ze has a strong skill and can persist for a while, but this is not a long-term solution, and he still needs to find a surefire solution to get out of the predicament.

"That's right!" He Ze's eyes suddenly lit up: "I have a few packs of bitter flocs in my interspatial bag. Most plants will shrink when they encounter it. You can find it and sprinkle it on the vines."

When An Qijin heard this, he quickly opened He Ze's interspatial bag.

He Ze had so many things that An Qijin searched for quite a while.

He Ze signaled An Qijin to open his things and get ready. After counting three, two, one, he left the protective cover.

At the moment when the protective cover dissipated, An Qijin used his skill to drive the bitter flocculation, and sprinkled it on the surface of the vine.

The gray-brown vines paused when the bitter flocs scattered on the surface, then frantically shook and retreated.

Seeing this, He Ze breathed a sigh of relief, it works!

He Ze, who had exerted too much force, collapsed on An Qijin's body the moment the vines withdrew. An Qijin didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly ran out with He Ze, fearing that the vines would come back again.

Running to a rare open space in the dense forest, An Zhijin put He Ze down and let him rest beside him.Choosing a relatively safe location next to a big tree, An Qijin set up a tent.

The sky is a little gray, let's rest here for now.

After setting up the tent, An Qijin wrapped He Ze inside. Seeing that An Qijin was by his side, He Ze rested and fell asleep in peace.

Taking this opportunity, An Zhijin took out some food from the interspatial bag, roasted what needed to be done, and warmed up what needed to be heated.When it's done, wake up with Heze and eat it.

He Ze woke up after resting for more than an hour.It was already dark at this time, An Qijin handed him some food and asked He Ze to eat quickly so that he wouldn't be so hungry.

The wind in the dense forest is very loud, but in fact the wind is not fierce.

Although there were only An Zhijin and He Ze in the empty place, they didn't feel lonely because they still had each other.
