"You little kid... are an adventurer? And you're carrying out commissions? How is that possible?" A man behind the swordsman stepped forward and questioned. He was one of the two mages. This is the same problem again... Qi Ji didn't want to argue, so he dodged and appeared five or six meters behind him in an instant: "I am a warrior, and I am quite powerful." "Uh... he is indeed a warrior, and his level is not low." The swordsman reacted immediately and explained in a low voice to the two people behind him. "Are you mercenaries? Or adventurers? It looks like you're going hunting or something." Seeing that the three people opposite believed what he said, Qi Ji asked casually. "We are adventurers who have been commissioned to do so," the swordsman seemed to be the leader of these people. He asked the others to put down their weapons and explained, "It is said that there is a temporary base of bandits in this forest. We have been commissioned to investigate." A temporary base for bandits? Qi Ji thought of the guys he met in the East District before and asked: "Robbers? Are they the same gang that have been attacking the city recently? They came in a carriage, and one of them had a blue turban?"
"Hey, how did you know?" The swordsman was surprised. "That's what was described on the order." Because they were just dealt with by me...you might have made this trip in vain. "It's like this..." Qi Ji briefly recounted his experience in the East District. "So that's it!" The three of them suddenly realized. "But we still need to investigate," said the female mage at the back of the team. She was a young girl with short brown hair. "We can't rule out the possibility that there are still remnants hiding in the forest." "Oh, then you guys continue, I'll leave first." Qi Ji didn't pay much attention, after all, everyone had their own commissions. "Well, then you should be careful and beware of encountering alien species." The brown-haired female mage reminded with concern, "It is said that there are B-level alien species that have appeared nearby and attacked caravans recently. You should also pay more attention." I was actually looking for it... "Yes, yes, I got it." She responded perfunctorily and continued walking forward. Before, Qi Ji was standing far away and in the shade, so the three of them couldn't see her face clearly. Now that she had walked out of the shade and was a little closer, the three of them suddenly seemed to be shocked by something, and their pupils suddenly shrank. “By the grace of God!” The brown-haired female mage was in a trance, as if her worldview had collapsed. “Did I see an angel?!” The swordsman and the male wizard were both staring with their eyes wide open, unable to speak. It’s that kind of reaction again… I’m tired of seeing it. Qi Ji was a little bored. He exerted a little force on his feet and disappeared as if by teleportation, leaving the three of them standing there at a loss. After a long while, the swordsman finally woke up and looked at his two teammates blankly: "Was that an illusion just now?" Hundreds of meters away. After separating from the three-person team, Qi Ji walked for another few dozen minutes and finally reached the "Second Trading Trail". Rather than an official road in the modern sense, it is more like a dirt path formed because people often walk on it. It is only wide enough for a carriage to pass through and it stretches in twists and turns into the distance. "Let's first go to the places where these alien species have appeared." Qi Ji sped up and ran along the path, so fast that he turned into a shadow.
"Huh? What's going on over there?" Suddenly, I heard a faint crackling sound coming from a certain direction, and at the same time I could sense a chaotic spiritual fluctuation, as if someone was fighting. "Could it be that the group just now had a fight with someone?" She discovered that there were three familiar waveforms in the spiritual fluctuations there, which were the three adventurers, two men and one woman. "Well...why don't you go check it out?" Anyway, it's near the trading path and on the way, so I just took a look. Letting go of his hands and feet, Qi Ji approached the place where the noise came from at an unimaginable speed. She moved very quickly, and in less than five minutes, she saw the three-person team from before. Sure enough, they were fighting. The three of them were spread out in an orderly manner, fighting with a ferocious and tall figure. It was a nearly four-meter-tall giant! Its body was pitch black, it had four arms, and its muscles were so thick and deformed. The most striking thing was its face: its huge mouth full of dirty yellow fangs did not grow horizontally, but was split vertically, from the top of the head to the chin. "Well, this looks like..." Qi Ji's heart moved, and he recalled the testimony of the survivors in the detailed information of the order, which indeed described the attacking creature as a "black giant" and "more than two arms". Could it be this?! That was really Qiaoer's mother opening the door for Qiaoer - Qiaoer was home! When Qi Ji arrived at the scene, the battle between the three-man team and the giant had obviously been going on for some time, but the situation did not look optimistic: The swordsman's long sword was broken, and he could only fight with his spare long dagger; the brown-haired female mage's hands holding the cane were shaking, and she seemed exhausted; the male mage was even worse, his clothes were torn and blood was oozing from the torn clothes, and he was obviously injured. "You go first and go back to the city to ask for reinforcements." The swordsman said solemnly, "I will delay it here, hurry up!" "Friion, you can't beat it." The male wizard panted. The swordsman named Frion chuckled and said, "Of course, but I can just fight you for a while and then run away. Don't worry, I can run away... probably." The four-armed giant would not give them time to negotiate. His eyes, as big as fists, suddenly lit up with a violent red light, and he pounced on them without any warning! "Boom boom boom boom!" Those pillar-like feet made the ground tremble with every step! Chapter 11: Giant Gog "hateful!" Frion quickly jumped to the side and barely avoided the giant's charge. At the same time, the brown-haired female wizard held her staff across her face and quickly chanted a long string of mysterious syllables. Ripples like water waves appeared behind her, and more than a dozen fireballs as big as fists emerged from the ripples, drawing curves and blasting towards the giant! "Boom, boom, boom!" All hit! Thunderous explosions followed one after another, with flames and loud noises, and the fireworks instantly engulfed the giant's burly body. "Boom boom boom!"
The raging flames suddenly dissipated, and the pitch-black, filthy four-armed giant rushed out, surprisingly intact! This wave of fireball bombardment seemed fierce, but it only left a layer of charred black on its already dark skin, which was not a big deal. "Hurry, don't waste time!" Friong yelled, nimbly avoiding the giant's grabs and collisions. He probably knew that he couldn't hurt it at all, so he was just dodging and luring it, and had no intention of actively attacking it. "Then you must be careful!" The two mages gritted their teeth, and without hesitation, they retreated. Unexpectedly, this four-armed giant seemed to have some intelligence. It didn't fall into the trap at all and ignored Frion who was jumping left and right in front of it to attract hatred. It turned around and rushed towards the two people who were about to slip away! "It seems there is no way..." The male wizard waved his staff with a wry smile. The ripples behind him shot out ice cones, which smashed into the giant with a clang. Fireballs, ice cones, sword blades. The three of them fought against the four-armed giant, and they were clearly at a disadvantage. It was unknown how long they could hold out. "Boom!" The four-armed giant leaped up, and a huge shadow instantly enveloped the brown-haired female mage. The latter was unable to dodge, and watched helplessly as the giant's four arms clenched into fists and smashed down with the force of thunder. "Lina!" the swordsman and the male mage exclaimed. "boom!" At the last moment when the female sorceress was about to be smashed into a paste, one of the four-armed giant's arms suddenly exploded from the base of the shoulder. Blood splattered everywhere, and the broken arm flew far away. The giant's body was also shaken off course by the recoil and fell to the side. "Ugh...ah?" The brown-haired female mage Lina thought she was going to die this time and was so scared that she turned pale. Suddenly, she saw the four-armed...three-armed giant falling heavily beside her, and she was unable to wrap her mind around it for a while. "Hiss, it was thrown in the wrong direction." Qi Ji held a stone in his right hand, walked out of the woods slowly, and pouted. The giant's arm was broken, but it was not fatal to him. Instead, it completely aroused his blood. As soon as he landed, he suddenly jumped up, completely ignoring the black blood gushing from the broken end, and rushed towards Qi Ji like a wild bull with his remaining three arms dancing wildly! Qi Ji remained calm and didn't dodge or evade. "Be careful, this guy is very strong!" The three of them recognized Qi Ji at once and were shocked by her motionless appearance. Lina warned anxiously. Qi Ji took a step back with his right foot, pulled the hand holding the stone behind his ear, and threw it hard at the giant rushing towards him! "Oh!" The air around the stone burst into a white mist the moment it slipped out of his hands, and at the same time a loud explosion-like sound rose from the ground. "Puch!——" With a sticky and wet sound that made one's scalp tingle, a hole the size of a washbasin suddenly exploded in the giant's chest, revealing the scene behind him. Black blood and wet minced meat flew all over the sky, and then fell to the ground, suppressing the raised dust. The giant's huge figure froze in an instant, then fell forward under the influence of inertia and never moved again. The hideous blood hole on its back was several times larger than the front, presenting an exaggerated trumpet shape. The jagged cross-section of the cave entrance had traces of burning, as if it was hit by an anti-aircraft machine gun instead of a rock. After a long moment, the dumbfounded Friang shouted, "Sunset! Did she smash the Gog giant to death with a stone?!" "There is no spiritual reaction, it's not a spell!" The female wizard Lina was so shocked that her jaw dropped, "Holy grace! It's really stone that was used, bare hands!" "Do you know what this alien species is?" Qi Ji ignored their shocking expressions. She was used to this kind of reaction. "My commission is to solve it." Hearing Qi Ji's question, Lina swallowed nervously and stammered, "This is a B-class alien Gug giant. We were about to return to Stio... and were attacked by it..." "Is it very good at fighting?" To be honest, Qi Ji couldn't tell the difference between its fighting power and that of the Skull Ghost. They were both quite fragile. "How does it compare to the psychic warrior?"
Compare with warriors? Swordsman Frion was a little surprised by this question, not because he didn't know it, but because he wondered why Qi Ji would ask such a strange question - you have already finished the fight, do you still need to ask others how strong the opponent is? "Its strength and defense are similar to those of a peak mindfulness warrior," he answered with a strange expression, "but its vitality is extremely strong. Even if it loses a lot of blood, it is difficult to reduce its mobility. If an ordinary peak mindfulness warrior encounters it for the first time...it is likely to fall flat on its face." "To put it simply, it's a little bit stronger than peak mindfulness, right? It's somewhere between mindfulness and spiritualism." "Well, you could say that..." Friong thought that this question was too stupid. How could such a powerful person ask such a low-level question? But even though he was confused, it was Qi Ji who saved their lives after all. The gratitude that surged up in his heart quickly overwhelmed his confusion, so he didn't ask any further questions. Lina, still in shock, asked, "Little sister... uh, what's your name, Miss?" "My name is Sharon, just call me by my name, you're welcome." Qi Ji continued to use a pseudonym, and pointed at the corpse of the Gug giant on the ground, "Can you guys deal with this thing?" If she wanted to prove that she had completed the commission, she had to provide evidence, and the specific evidence depended on the client's requirements. And the mission she took required her to hand over the spiritual body tissues of the alien species. For extraordinary creatures like transcendents and aliens, the spirits in their bodies will usually remain for a long time even after death, and usually serve as effective evidence for killing aliens. Qi Ji's inspiration is very sharp. She actually knows very well which part of the body of the Gog Giant has the strongest spirituality. But she is not a professional after all, and something might go wrong if she messes around. She decided to leave it to experienced adventurers like Frion. "Ah, no problem, we can help you with it." Frion immediately understood what Qi Ji meant and told the male mage, "Aio, come and help." The male wizards Io and Frion surrounded the giant, leaned over, drew out their daggers, and started cutting and slaughtering it. The skin of this Gug giant was very hard when he was alive, and even fireballs and icicles could not penetrate it. But after death, the flesh and blood of the giant was almost the same as that of ordinary livestock, and it could be cut open bit by bit with a sharp knife. "Little Sharon, don't you have any weapons?" Lina came over curiously. She seemed to be very outgoing and used a nickname right after they met. "Fighting with stones... This is the first time I've seen this method." "I usually just do it directly." Qi Ji thought there was nothing to hide, so he told the truth, "I threw the stone just now to test my aim." "Move?" Lina choked. She carefully looked at Qi Ji, a girl of about fourteen or fifteen years old. Her smooth skin, as smooth as cream, glowed with a thin golden glow in the thin twilight, and her whole body was shrouded in a mysterious and ethereal temperament. Such a delicate girl like a porcelain doll, beautiful but fragile, as if she would break if touched with the slightest force. If you tell an uninformed person that she is actually a transcendent, everyone's first reaction would be a mage or a clergyman, and they would never associate her with a warrior wielding swords or guns. It turns out that she is not only a warrior, but she doesn't even use weapons, fighting the enemy with her bare hands! How to fight? Tear apart with bare hands! ? The scene was so disillusioning that Lina could hardly imagine it. "Ladies, we're done." Frion came over. He and Io each carried a cloth bag soaked in black blood. "Miss Sharon, are you going back to Stio directly? In that case, let's go together." Chapter 12 The First Night Qi Ji and the other three members of the team returned to the Fearless Guild in Stio to report. After talking on the way, she knew that the three of them had already found the bandit stronghold in the forest, but it was empty. Judging from the traces of life, they should have left for only a few hours. It seems that all the people in the East District were mobilized at that time, and were caught by Qi Ji in one fell swoop. Now they are either in prison or in the underworld. "Little Sharon has solved a big problem for Stio," Lina and Qiji walked side by side. She seemed to be in a good mood, with curved eyebrows and a pretty smile. "I heard from people in the city that this gang of robbers is very brutal. They kill people every time they enter the city. They come every now and then, and the citizens are deeply harmed by them." "Just a coincidence." Qi Ji shrugged. The four of them didn't return to the Fearless Guild until the sun went down. Frion and Io went to the front desk to hand over the spiritual organization of the Gug Giant to Qi Ji. The front desk lady said that the transaction could only be completed after the client personally confirmed that it was correct, so she only gave Qi Ji 500 Ferums in advance, and the balance could not be paid until tomorrow noon at the earliest, so she asked her to come to the guild again at that time.
Qi Ji didn't care about the reward. The only purpose of accepting this commission was to fight and take this opportunity to evaluate his own strength. According to Frion, the Gug giant was slightly stronger in combat than the mind, but not as strong as the spirit. Qi Ji's comment on this is... that's it? It feels like even if there are hundreds of them, it will only take a few minutes longer. So, does that mean I am really invincible? At least in Stio, I have no rivals. No matter how powerful a psychic warrior is, he should not be thousands or tens of thousands of times stronger than a peak righteous warrior. "The confirmation of intelligence commissions requires face-to-face communication with the client. Our appointment deadline is tomorrow, and the transaction can only be completed after the client meets with us." While Friang was handling the procedures at the front desk, Lina came to Qi Ji, who had put on his hood, and said, "Little Sharon, will be tomorrow too? What a coincidence..." No, it just happened that I went to my grandma's house.
