Ye Yun and Song Sitian sat on Zhang Hao's Raptor. At first, both girls felt it was very novel. They never expected that this iron lump could actually run.
Zhang Hao looked at the two women's dumbfounded expressions and secretly chuckled: Truly bumpkins!
What's so great about running on the ground? There are even things that can fly in the sky!
This mission has a duration of three months. Less than a month has passed now, so Zhang Hao still has plenty of time to go to Dragon Seeking Valley.
After several days of inquiries, Zhang Hao and Ye Yun finally found out that Dragon Seeking Valley is located in Flying Sky City of the Purple Firmament Empire.
The legend of Dragon Seeking Valley has a long history in the local area. It is said to have a history of over ten thousand years. Legend has it that in ancient times, a giant dragon that could cover the sky and sun had a fierce battle with its enemy in the void.
Both sides possessed immense divine abilities. That battle truly shattered mountains and rivers and changed the color of the heavens and earth.
Ultimately, although that dragon defeated its enemy, the dragon also died due to severe injuries. Later, at the place where the dragon died, batches of Martial Warriors went to search for the dragon's remains. This is because the dragon's remains also contained infinite treasures. However, after countless years passed, no Martial Warrior found the dragon's whereabouts. But generation after generation of Martial Warriors did not give up and continued to search tirelessly, so the place where the dragon was buried became the famous Dragon Seeking Valley.
Dragon Seeking Valley is located in the Ten Directional Mountain, in a very remote location. It was truly not easy for Zhang Hao to find Dragon Seeking Valley. After some thought, Zhang Hao decided to go to the Mercenary Guild to see if there were any Mercenary Groups going to Dragon Seeking Valley. This way, he could also use the strength of these mercenaries to enter Dragon Seeking Valley.
Flying Sky City is located in the extremely western part of the Purple Firmament Empire. Because this place is very remote, Flying Sky City is not large, but the streets are quite prosperous. Various shops stand in great numbers, and even various guilds are visible everywhere here. The vast majority are local Martial Warriors.
Zhang Hao and Ye Yun entered the Mercenary Guild. At this moment, within the Mercenary Guild, there were many Mercenary Groups waiting to go on missions.
As soon as the three of them entered the Mercenary Guild, dozens of gazes fell upon them. Most of the gazes swept past Zhang Hao and Ye Yun and finally lingered on Song Sitian. After all, Song Sitian was a genuine beauty. Moreover, her cultivation was only at the initial stage of Martial Master, which was at the bottom in this Mercenary Guild. Generally, girls like this cannot protect themselves in such a place.
Zhang Hao felt countless lustful gazes falling on Song Sitian and couldn't help but frown. He regretted not having Song Sitian disguise herself as a man at the time, otherwise, there would be less trouble. Of course, it wasn't that Zhang Hao was afraid of trouble, he just disliked it. If someone short-sighted caused trouble for his girl, he didn't mind letting the other party become his experience points.
The mercenaries in the Mercenary Hall looked at Song Sitian, some even whistling flirtatiously.
Song Sitian had never experienced such a scene and was scared, hiding behind Zhang Hao. Zhang Hao frowned. His Master was still here, yet the other party dared to be so reckless, clearly not putting him in their eyes. He let out a cold snort. A faint Killing Intent spread out.
Those mercenaries who still wanted to tease Song Sitian immediately felt a sharp Killing Intent locking onto them. They couldn't help but shiver. Their flirtatious expressions completely disappeared.
They all secretly thought: This person is not easy to provoke!
Zhang Hao walked to the counter of the Mercenary Guild and politely asked the staff member, "Excuse me, is there anyone going to Dragon Seeking Valley for a mission?"
Some mercenaries who were paying attention to Zhang Hao and the others were slightly surprised when they heard the words Dragon Seeking Valley.
The staff member of the Mercenary Guild looked at them in surprise and said, "You want to go to Dragon Seeking Valley?"
"That's right!" Zhang Hao nodded.
The staff member looked at Zhang Hao and said, "I advise you not to go. That Dragon Seeking Valley is a dangerous place. There is a more than fifty percent chance of death for those who enter Dragon Seeking Valley."
Zhang Hao frowned slightly, apparently not expecting such a great danger in Dragon Seeking Valley. But he still said to the staff member, "Excuse me, even so, I still want to go to Dragon Seeking Valley."
Seeing that he couldn't persuade them, the staff member sighed slightly and said, "Alright then! Actually, the Poison Wolf Mercenary Group is going to Dragon Seeking Valley to search for dragon flower."
"dragon flower?"
Ye Yun on the side seemed to be deep in thought.
"You know about dragon flower?" Zhang Hao looked at Ye Yun and asked.
Ye Yun nodded slightly and said, "Yes, this dragon flower is said to be formed from congealed dragon blood. It has the effect of strengthening the body. Of course, its most miraculous effect is detoxification. It is said that the Dan refined from dragon flower is a holy item for detoxification."
The staff member of the Mercenary Guild nodded and smiled, "That's right, what this Young Master said is correct. That dragon flower indeed has great detoxification effects. It is in short supply outside every year. Each dragon flower can be sold for the sky-high price of one thousand lower grade crystal stones. Therefore, most mercenaries going to Dragon Seeking Valley are looking for dragon flower."
"Poison Wolf Mercenary Group?"
Just as Zhang Hao was thinking about how to find the Poison Wolf Mercenary Group, a faint voice sounded from behind him.
"Are you looking for our Poison Wolf Mercenary Group?"
A Scarface, who looked about thirty years old, led more than ten mercenaries who appeared very fierce, and was looking at him indifferently.
This person was clearly a Martial King. He exuded a faint aura of authority, obviously someone who had been in a high position for a long time.
"Are you from the Poison Wolf Mercenary Group?" Zhang Hao asked.
"This is our Poison Wolf Mercenary Group's leader," a mercenary on the side pointed to the Scarface and said.
"I heard you are going to Dragon Seeking Valley?" Zhang Hao asked the Scarface.
Zhang Hao noticed that the Scarface's gaze had been fixed on Song Sitian's face next to him, and a strong possessiveness flashed in his expression. This made Zhang Hao slightly vigilant.
"That's right, we are going to Dragon Seeking Valley. Are you also planning to go to Dragon Seeking Valley?" The Scarface's gaze reluctantly swept away from Song Sitian's face and returned to Zhang Hao's body.
"Yes, we plan to go to Dragon Seeking Valley, but we don't know the location. Therefore, we want to find someone who knows to travel together," Zhang Hao said.
"Okay, but it costs ten lower grade crystal stones per person," the Scarface said indifferently.
Zhang Hao frowned slightly. This was simply asking for an exorbitant price. They were only asking to travel together, not asking for protection or food. Unexpectedly, the other party immediately demanded ten lower grade crystal stones. One should know that three people would be equivalent to thirty lower grade crystal stones, which converts to three hundred thousand taels of gold.
However, thinking about the importance of this mission, after weighing it, Zhang Hao still agreed. He looked at the Scarface and asked, "Okay, when do we set off?"
