Peerless War God

Talking about things in the courtyard of Song Liao's group, there was no need to worry about others eavesdropping.    

The moment Chen Xiao and Song Liao sat down in the room, Chen Xiao started talking about the Red Lotus Fruit with Song Liao.    

Song Liao told Chen Xiao and the others that collecting the Red Lotus Fruit was a level three mission given by the Mercenary Union.    

After completing this quest, Song Liao's group would receive quite a bit of Soul Stones and Guild Points.    

Most importantly, if Song Liao's group could successfully obtain the Red Lotus Fruit and complete the mission of collecting the Red Lotus Fruit, their party would be able to level up from the third level team to the fourth level team and receive the fourth level mission.    

As such, the task of collecting the Red Lotus Fruits was of utmost importance to Song Liao's team.    

Song Liao's group had already been in the third grade for four to five years. Whether or not they could accumulate enough points to become a fourth grade team was up in one fell swoop.    

Originally, Song Liao's group wanted to complete the task of collecting the Red Lotus Fruit by themselves. However, a few days ago, they suddenly received two piece of bad news.    

Those two pieces of news made Song Liao's group give up on their plans to act alone.    

Right now, they urgently needed a strong partner who also knew how to cast spells.    

From Song Liao's point of view, this partner was none other than Chen Xiao.    

Three days ago, when Chen Xiao's strength exploded and he relied on Qing Yan and the formation to kill Rong Xia and Rong Hui, the vice-captain Gao Yuan was nearby.    

Gao Yuan saw Chen Xiao use the array with his own eyes.    

Chen Xiao was only at the peak of the divine soul and yet he had already set up an array formation that could trap someone at the peak of the Dao Emperor. From this, it could be seen that his talent in the field of array formation was extremely high.    

Team Song Liao was currently lacking people like Chen Xiao.    

"Wait a moment!"    

Chen Xiao interrupted Song Liao's group. He tilted his head and looked at them: "Why do you need to find someone who knows about formations after receiving two bad news? Those two bad news you received, what exactly is it? "    

"Brother Chen, don't worry, I was just about to tell you what the two bad news were."    

Song Liao smiled and comforted Chen Xiao for a while before continuing with his business.    

Chen Xiao and the others received two bad news, one was that there were berserk beasts near the Red Lotus Fruit, and the other was that collecting the Red Lotus Fruit was an unrestricted task. In other words, even if Team Song Liao had already received the task of collecting the Red Lotus Fruit, the other three parties could also receive this task.    

Too many monks and too few porridge ah!    

There was only one Red Lotus Fruit in the vicinity of White Tiger City, and that Red Lotus Fruit only bore one fruit every ten thousand years!    

Thus, no matter how many teams received the task of collecting the red lotus, only one team was able to successfully complete the quest.    

According to the rules of the Mercenary Union, after a mercenary team or single mercenary received a mercenary mission, they had to do their best to complete it. If they couldn't complete the mission, then giving up the mission would result in a deduction of points.    

How could they be willing to lose points when Song Liao's team was in such a hurry to join a fourth tier team?    

In short, to them, the mission of collecting the Red Lotus Fruits was a battle on their backs.    

They could only accept the result of their success and not their failure.    

"Fine."    

Chen Xiao shrugged and understood what Team Song Liao meant.    

But very quickly, he had a new doubt.    

"Why are you so anxious to upgrade to the fourth rank mercenary group?" Haven't you all been in the third class for years? Can't you stay a few more months? If collecting the red lotuses is really that difficult, you can give up this mission and go pick up some simpler ones. "    

"Although the rewards for the simple mission will be less, as long as you persist in doing it, you should be able to advance into a mercenary group of the fourth rank." Or could it be that you guys have already completed your normal quest, so you must complete a mission that's S level difficulty in order to reach your leveling target? "    

"Even so, you all don't have to complete the mission for the Red Lotus Fruit! "There aren't many third level S-Rank missions, but there will be one every year. As long as you have the patience to wait, you can always find a suitable one."    

"The problem is, we can't wait."    

Song Liao let out a heavy sigh, and his face unconsciously revealed an expression of pain.    

He was silent for a long time before he finally told them the reason why they needed to become a mercenary group of the fourth rank as soon as possible.    

Gao Yuan, the vice-captain of their mercenary group, was injured by a Saint Ruler while doing a quest to save his teammates.    

Currently, Gao Yuan's internal injuries were severe.    

Originally, Gao Yuan's cultivation had already reached the peak of the Dao Emperor, so as long as he had the right luck, he could immediately advance to the expert of the Sage Proclamation.    

But now that such an accident had occurred, not only was Gao Yuan's cultivation unable to advance further, he was even slowly retreating.    

During this period of time, Chen Xiao had already figured out the cultivation level of the Celestial domain.    

Above the Dao Emperor Realm was the Shapeshift Realm, above the Shapeshift Realm, above the Shapeshift Realm, the Everlasting Realm, and so on.    

Before Chen Xiao could continue thinking, Song Liao had already spoke up.    

"Half a month ago, Gao Yuan's cultivation had already dropped back to the late stage of the Dao Emperor."    

Song Liao spread out his hands and smiled bitterly at Chen Xiao, "Gao Yuan got injured in order to save us. We cannot ignore him and let his cultivation continue to decline like this. "If our party can be promoted to the level four team, then the Mercenary Union will reward us with a Wintertide Fruit."    

"Hui Shang fruit can cure the injuries on Gao Yuan's body, allowing his cultivation to instantly return to its peak state! If he was lucky, he would be able to use the Illuminate Fruit's medicinal effects to break through to the Rebirth Realm! Do you understand now why our team has to complete the quest for the Red Lotus Fruit? We can't wait. "    

So it was like this!    

After all this time, everything they did was for the sake of their brothers.    

Chen Xiao nodded in understanding as he knocked on the table.    

"Alright, Brother Song. With what you've said, I won't urge you to give up on the mission of the Red Lotus Fruit." "Tell me, what do you want me to do for the Red Lotus Fruit?"    

"We would like you to help us control a fierce beast with a peak Dao Emperor. It won't take too long, a quarter-hour is enough! The time it took for the Red Lotus Fruit to mature and fall off the plant was very short. It was only three breaths of time! Our team will get the Red Lotus Fruit in three breaths' time! "    

Song Liao sat up straight and looked at Chen Xiao sternly. "If the Red Lotus Fruit leaves the plant and falls to the ground, its efficacy will be greatly reduced! The Mercenary Union wouldn't accept this kind of Red Lotus Fruit! Even if we bring those Red Lotus Fruits back, the association will not give us any rewards. "    

They had already investigated and found that there were two fierce beasts at the peak of the Dao Emperor near the Red Lotus Fruit.    

One was a Flame Wolf, the other was Azurefox.    

Azurefox was of high rank, but her attack power was not strong. Song Liao and the rest had already thought of a way to deal with her.    

However, they were truly unable to deal with the Flame Wolves.
