I Have 10 Training Avatars Novel - Chapter 158
Chapter 158: First Mission, Hungry Ghost Village
The Secret Service Division of Kosaka City did not occupy a large area.
From the outside, it looked no different from an ordinary apartment.
If not for the address Murata had given him, Poison Blade would not have been able to find this place.
When he arrived, there were two guards at the door. They were both Third Realm martial artists.
Due to his [High-Level Perception], he could hear their conversation from afar.
“What’s going on in the Sixth Realm mystic realm, Hungry Ghost Village? I heard that the hungry ghosts have been rioting without stopping.”
“I’m not sure. Recently, there have been riots in many mystic realms. Didn’t the burning earth demons appear in the Third Realm mystic realm, the Hirano Plains? They even deliberately burned the crops! The food production this year will probably decrease greatly.”
“By the way, I heard that Lord Tianyu’s daughter is missing? I haven’t been able to find her for a few days.”
“Shh, let’s not talk nonsense about important people. If others hear us, our career will be over!”
Poison Blade was amused.
They were just two guards. What kind of career did they want?
Those who had a real career path were already secretaries of Eighth Realm martial artists when they first joined the High Heaven Plains. After one or two years, they would be able to leave the city and become the deputy section chief of a certain city’s Secret Service Division. After another year or two, they would directly be promoted to a section chief.
This was what it meant to have a future.
However, could the Lord Tianyu they were talking about be one of the deputy leaders of the High Heaven Plains, Forger Tianyu?
The disappearance of the deputy leader’s daughter was not a small matter.
The two guards noticed Poison Blade’s approach and immediately stopped talking. They were solemn and serious.
“Stop, token.”
The martial artist on the left stopped him.
Poison Blade explained his identity. The martial artist on the right sized him up suspiciously. “Wait, I’ll ask Lord Murata.”
Four minutes later, the martial artist returned and nodded slightly. “Lord Murata wants you to enter.”
Poison Blade nodded and strode into the Secret Service Division of Kosaka City.
He walked upstairs and quickly found Murata.
At this moment, Murata was handling official business. When he saw who it was, he was very puzzled. “Didn’t I ask you to come tomorrow morning? Why are you here now?”
Poison Blade chuckled and said, “Since I’ve already joined the High Heaven Plains, I naturally have to contribute to the organization. Since I have nothing to do, I might as well come early.”
When Murata heard this, he nodded in satisfaction.
Although Mu Qiang was greedy, his loyalty was still commendable.
As soon as he arrived in Kosaka City, he did not interact much with his daughter and immediately came to the Secret Service Division.
Poison Blade smiled and said, “What mission do you have for me now? Although I’m not powerful, I’m still a Seventh Realm martial artist.”
As a traitor of the Construction Division, it was naturally impossible for him to casually enter Reed Country.
Moreover, ever since the news of India invading Little Spirit Mountain through the Sun Key spread, the various large organizations had increased the scrutiny of their large mystic realms.
Everyone had to register their basic information.
Every few days, Eighth Realm martial artists would patrol everywhere.
Under such circumstances, even if he used the Sun Key to open the door of light and sneak into Reed Country, he would be discovered in a few days.
Unless he immediately hid in a very hidden place and did not interact with anyone.
However, in that case, how could he find the place where Xiang Qiankan was imprisoned?
The higher-ups of the Construction Division thought about it and realized that the only way was to give them fake identities.
What Poison Blade needed to do now was to increase his favorability. It was best if he could immediately increase his favorability, battle merits, and even obtain the favorability of a Ninth Realm martial artist in the High Heaven Plains.
In this way, he could naturally enter the mystic realm of Reed Country to train.
“Mission… Recently, there have been many riots in the mystic realms, but those mystic realms are all at the Fourth Realm and Fifth Realm. Isn’t it a little wasteful for a Seventh Realm expert like you to go?”
Poison Blade smiled. “It’s fine, it’s fine. I don’t care.”
Murata pondered for a moment. “By the way, something happened in the Sixth Realm mystic realm, Hungry Ghost Village. The hungry ghosts rioted at night. At least ten Sixth Realm martial artists were trapped in various parts of the Hungry Ghost Village. However, many Seventh Realm martial artists are busy dealing with the demon beast riot in Reed Country. The remaining portion of martial artists are also dealing with the other Sixth Realm mystic realms. They are unable to free up their hands for the time being.”
“Can you go to the Hungry Ghost Village to save those Sixth Realm martial artists?”
Murata raised his head. “Rescuing a Sixth Realm martial artist will reward you with 50 battle merits. If you find out the reason for the Hungry Ghost Village’s riot, I will request the section chief to reward you with more battle merits.”
Lin Xuan cursed in his heart.
How freaking stingy.
Saving a Sixth Realm martial artist only earned him 50 battle merits.
However, he naturally did not show any displeasure on his face. Instead, he immediately nodded. “I’ll go now!”
Murata nodded in satisfaction. “The mystic realm door of light in our city is in the center of the city. You will naturally see it if you walk over there.”
“By the way, this is your identity token. In the future, just come in and show your token. The guards won’t make things difficult for you.”
Poison Blade took the token and put it away before turning to leave.
Murata looked at his back and was increasingly satisfied.
“The Section Chief gave me the thankless task of saving people. I was just worried that no one would do this difficult job when this Mu Qiang came. Not bad, not bad. I can nurture him as a trusted subordinate in the future.”
Soon, Poison Blade arrived at the center of the city and entered the Sixth Realm mystic realm, Hungry Ghost Village.
As soon as he arrived at the Hungry Ghost Village, he felt a terrifying and miserable atmosphere.
The black clouds pressed down, and the air was cold.
There seemed to be all kinds of undisguised malice everywhere.
However, when he looked over, he saw nothing.
The place where he stood was a rural dirt road, and behind him was a dense fog.
This was the edge of the mystic realm. He could not go any further. This fog was equivalent to an air wall.
The country road extended forward into the misty mountain village.
A low wooden house was hidden in the fog like a silent ghost, waiting for the ignorant travelers to approach.
Poison Blade had only taken a few steps when he saw a corpse lying on the ground.
The corpse was lying face down with three huge and deep wounds on its back.
He turned the corpse over and saw that these three wounds had directly pierced through the front of the chest from the back.
His heart, lungs, and trachea had been torn apart the moment he was attacked.
This person was deader than dead.
Based on the direction his head was facing, this martial artist had probably been attacked from behind when he was running towards the mystic realm’s door of light and had instantly died.
“This Hungry Ghost Village is quite interesting.”
Poison Blade continued forward.
This place was terrifying and very terrifying for a Sixth Realm martial artist.
However, to him, it was no different from child’s play.
He could even instantly kill a Seventh Realm ghost.
Moreover, the other party was only a Sixth Realm hungry ghost.
The hungry ghosts here were different from ghosts. Ghosts did not have corpses and had extremely high physical resistance.
However, hungry ghosts had physical bodies.
They would crazily search for all living things in their sight and devour their prey alive.
Therefore, they were called “hungry ghosts”.
Poison Blade followed the dirt road and arrived at the village entrance.
As expected, he saw many figures wandering aimlessly in the fog.
Poison Blade could not be bothered to waste time and did not want to consume the durability of his equipment. He directly put on the Shadow Cloak and sneaked along.
The night and the fog itself made his presence much weaker. Coupled with the Shadow Cloak, it was as if he was a drop of water that had instantly fused with the sea after entering it.
These wandering hungry ghosts did not realize that a living person had slipped past within a three-meter radius.
As Poison Blade advanced, he activated his high-level perception to the maximum.
However, to his surprise, there were no living beings here.
Lin Xuan could not help but curse, “Murata didn’t trick me, did he? Are there really survivors here?”
He continued for a while. The dirt road continued to extend until he reached the village ahead.
The houses here gradually became larger. Clearly, the villagers living here were also richer.
At this moment, he suddenly heard a voice in the wind ahead through his high-level perception.
“Eh?”
Poison Blade increased his speed and quickly advanced.
Soon, he saw a scene that surprised him.
“Please come out. My hungry ghost will find you soon anyway.”
“What’s the point of hiding? Why don’t you just give up your life? You’re the only one left. As long as I kill you, no one will know my secret.”
“Come out quickly. Please don’t cause me any more trouble.”
A slender figure stood on the roof.
His face was filled with abnormal fanaticism and incomparable confidence.
At his feet were three hungry ghosts. They seemed to be following orders and searching for living people.
“This guy can command hungry ghosts? What’s his background?”
Poison Blade used a High-Level Observer skill.
His avatar had inherited all the skills other than the [High-Level Avatar Technique], so Poison Blade could also observe other people’s information.
“Yamamoto, level five Seventh Realm. His profession is Corpse Tamer. This profession is interesting. Although it’s only a blue profession, it allows him to control corpses.”
“Yes, but he can only use 20% of the ghost’s strength before it dies. Moreover, he can only control three Seventh Realm ghosts at most.”
After Lin Xuan finished reading, he was deep in thought.
Why would a Seventh Realm martial artist run into the Sixth Realm Hungry Ghost Village?
The other party was clearly not here to save people like him, but to kill.
Could it be that the riot of the hungry ghosts in the Hungry Ghost Village’s was related to this person?
Poison Blade used the night and the fog to quickly circle around.
Soon, he felt extremely faint breathing in the basement of a house.
The other party had already hidden very well, but Poison Blade still heard his breathing.
The three hungry ghosts were already approaching.
Hungry ghosts were even more sensitive to living creatures. After all, they had been born to devour living creatures.
If nothing unexpected happened, something would soon happen to the person in the basement.
“Saving a person gives 50 battle merits. Now… it seems that there’s only one person left.”
Lin Xuan was very helpless.
He originally wanted to hurry over and save more people. In this way, he could obtain more battle merits and be one step closer to entering Reed Country.
In the end, he was faced with this. Just what the hell was this?
The three hungry ghosts’ noses twitched crazily as they approached the house.
Bang!
The basement door was shattered by a slap.
The scream of a young girl could be heard.
Yamamoto laughed. “I found you!”
Poison Blade quickly shuttled through the night and appeared ten meters behind Yamamoto in almost a few seconds.
However, even after appearing at this distance, Yamamoto did not notice him at all.
“I found you too.”
Yamamoto was laughing wildly when he suddenly heard a faint voice from behind.
The next moment, a short sword was placed on his neck.
Yamamoto was shocked!
