Kirigakure Town is not that big, with only a few thousand residents.

The town is located on Jiming Mountain. Due to the high altitude of Jiming Mountain, it is shrouded in thick fog for almost half a day every day, and is only revealed under the sunlight at noon.

That’s why it’s called Kirigakure Town.

There are only three or two casual cultivators with relatively low cultivation levels in the town, and they were the ones who reported the Iron-backed Cang Xiong incident to the Beast Control Sect.

As a member of the Yushou Sect, the Yushou Sect will naturally send people to solve problems if they arise.

So this is how Zheng Yu and the others got their mission. The Beast Control Gate radiates within a radius of several thousand miles, and there are many large and small missions.

Upon learning that someone was coming from the Beast Control Gate, the casual cultivator from Wuyin Town hurriedly went out to greet him.

The person in charge is a casual cultivator who looks older, and his cultivation level is at the fifth level of Qi collection.

In the early days of the establishment of the Beast Control Sect, all the monsters around the towns within the sect were cleared, and either killed or tamed into the Beast Control Sect's spirit beasts.

Therefore, this kind of casual cultivator at the fifth level of Qi collection can lead Kirigakure Town to survive, and of course there are not without exceptions.

This time the iron-backed bear incident was obviously quite unexpected.

The manager was originally very polite, but when he saw Zheng Yu, he was stunned and even forgot to say hello.

He still remembered this disciple of the Beast Control Sect named Zheng Yu, who rushed over from the Beast Control Sect in high spirits, asked a few questions and then entered Jiming Mountain.

Half a day later, Zheng Yu escaped from the mountain with blood all over his body, pale face and a broken arm. Zheng Yu's miserable appearance at that time left a deep impression on him.

Without saying a word, the other party fled back to the Beast Control Gate in despair. Half a year passed in the blink of an eye.

Fortunately, the iron-backed bears rarely come out of Jiming Mountain, otherwise Wuyin Town would not be able to withstand the impact.

Although the Iron-backed Gray Bear did not come down, none of them dared to go up to look for the elixir.

Now the savior has finally arrived!

The chief thought that the Beast Control Sect would definitely send a more powerful person this time, but the result was that he was beaten half to death last time.

For a moment, he was stunned on the spot and even forgot to say hello.

It only took a moment for the host to come to his senses and greet Zheng Yu with the most enthusiastic attitude.

Because only then did he see a stranger a few meters away from Zheng Yu. He thought it was the helper Zheng Yu had invited.

However, this helper wore a black scarf to hide his face, and there was no sign of it from his clothing, so he was probably not a disciple of the Beast Control Sect.

But with help, it won’t be like last time, right?

Zheng Yu declined the warm hospitality of the head of Wuyin Town and took Xiao Ling directly to the depths of Jiming Mountain. Time was running out, so he had to complete the task first.

Last time I was here like a bereaved dog and fled back to the sect. This time I must avenge my shame.

Summoning the spirit beast, Zheng Yu sat down and the black tiger jumped lightly and ran towards the depths of Jiming Mountain. Seeing this, Xiao Ling had no choice but to fly behind.

The two of them were walking through the foggy Jiming Mountain. Judging from Zheng Yu's appearance, he must have known where the iron-backed bear was hiding, so he didn't hesitate at all on the road.

Xiao Ling followed Zheng Yu as he ran at top speed for about a stick of incense, when he noticed that Zheng Yu was slowly slowing down.

My heart tightened, it looked like I was somewhere.

Zheng Yu said that there are two iron-backed bears, one of which will hide in the dark and attack.

Hiding in the dark and making a sneak attack is not something that ordinary monsters would do, but it seems like someone is commanding them.

He was extremely cautious in his heart, guarding against sneak attacks that might come at any time.

Zheng Yu's progress became slower and slower, and finally he stopped in front of a mountain col, and he seemed to be listening to something.

Xiao Ling was about ten meters away from Zheng Yu, but not too close.

In this way, no matter what happens, he can react in time, whether to attack or retreat.

The mountain col was silent, the sun shone from the sky slowly dispersing the dense fog in the mountains, and the field of vision became wider.

There was a hint of confusion on Zheng Yu's face. He encountered the iron-backed bear here last time. Why didn't he see it when he came here today?

Could it be that he has already left?

Riding on the black tiger, he slowly moved forward, using his spiritual sense to check the surrounding situation at any time.

The eight-story iron-backed bear with two walls open at both ends is no joke. Not many people can bear a slap from it.

Last time, he was attacked by one of the Iron-backed Gray Bears. He was hit with a palm and was seriously injured and flew backwards. He almost died on the spot.

If the other party hadn't had any intention of pursuing him, Xuan Hu would still have had a problem escaping.

The further inside, the more Xiao Ling felt that something was wrong.

Coupled with the slight pain in his mind, it seemed that Zheng Yu had a little difficulty in getting the jade slip on how to cultivate spiritual beasts.

If things couldn't be done, he decided to leave first even if he didn't want to cultivate the Fa.

The two groped their way from the mountain col, and after walking a certain distance, a strange smell seemed to be floating in the air.

This smell was a little fishy and a little strange. The two smells mixed together and floated in the air, making him frown slightly.

The introduction to a kind of elixir in the "Collection of Miraculous Medicines" suddenly flashed through my mind.

Yin Ning Cao: The best medicine for refining yin-cold elixirs. It can increase the medicinal properties of the elixir by three points. The longer the age, the better the medicinal properties of the elixir.

Yin Ning grass matures for hundreds of years. After maturity, Yin Ning grass will emit a fishy and fragrant smell that can be smelled for miles around.

Xiao Ling's frown became even more serious. Are the two iron-backed bears really controlled by someone?

And the purpose is this "Yin Ning grass" that is about to mature?

No wonder Zheng Yu was able to escape last time. It was probably because the other party was afraid that killing Zheng Yu would attract more disciples from the Beast Control Sect, so they simply let Zheng Yu go.

He hoped that it would take some time to get the elixir safely, but unfortunately the other party did not expect that Zheng Yu actually found helpers in order to complete the task.

In other words, there may be more than two iron-backed bears on Jiming Mountain, and there may even be an unknown cultivator!

The person who can make a contract with two iron-backed bears is definitely not a mediocre person, and he will definitely not be inferior to the two of them in terms of cultivation.

After thinking about this level, Xiao Ling instantly felt like retreating. The method of cultivating spiritual beasts might be good, but it must be done with a life.

Zheng Yu, who was sitting on Xuanhu's back, also smelled the strange smell and looked puzzled.

There was no such smell last time he came here. What is this coming from?

Xiao Ling's footsteps behind him seemed to have stopped, so he had no choice but to stop and turn to look at Xiao Ling.

His eyes were full of doubts, as if he was asking Xiao Ling what he meant.

Xiao Ling shook his head slightly, motioning for Zheng Yu to leave first, and slowly retreated towards the back.

Zheng Yu felt anxious, seeing that Xiao Ling actually wanted to leave?

Now there is only more than a month left before the mission deadline. If Xiao Ling retreats, he will have to find someone again, and the back and forth will waste all his time.

If he pays the price but doesn't even complete the task, wouldn't he suffer a big loss?

Zheng Yu suppressed the anger in his heart and said through Xiao Ling: "What do you mean?"

"Since you agreed to help me complete this task, why do you want to back down when you get there?"

Xiao Ling glanced at Zheng Yu, thinking that the two were cooperating, so he kindly reminded:

"The situation has changed. Let's leave first."

"There may be more than two iron-backed bears here, and there may be other cultivators."

Zheng Yu's expression changed, and Xiao Ling's words made him tense up.

After the original mission changed from one iron-backed gray bear to two, he notified the sect mission hall and hoped that someone else could complete the mission.

But he was rejected by the task hall on the grounds that he could find someone to complete the task together. This was not the first time that this happened, so Zheng Yu had no choice but to grit his teeth and accept the task.

As a result, Xiao Ling now said that there are actually other cultivators!
Chapter completed!
