Chapter 366: Kunlun Mountains (1)

After Lin Fan's group was chased out, they came back down to the first floor.

The first thing Lin Fan did was not head out, but rather he went over to the receptionist desk.

As Lin Fan walked through the hall, he could feel all kinds of strange gazes looking at him.

Finally, Lin Fan came in front of the receptionist desk, but before he could say a thing, Xiao Ling spoke first.

She said, "So you chose to accept the mission after all."

Lin Fan was confused when he heard this and he asked, "How did you know about that?"

Xiao Ling revealed a smile as she pointed at the crystals that were placed by the desk and said, "These are special signal crystals that are connected to the upper floor rooms. Those rooms are only used when special missions are given, generally all of which are S rank missions. For the sake of privacy, we use these crystals to communicate. They will shine green when the mission is accepted and they will shine red when the mission is rejected. We received a green glow just now, so we know that you accepted the mission."

Lin Fan looked over at the crystals with interest, but he also quickly lost interest since they were just simple crystals sitting there.

Lin Fan turned back to Xiao Ling and asked, "Since you know about the mission, can you please explain what the details are? The client up there didn't really tell me anything."

Xiao Ling revealed an awkward smile as she said, "I don't know what the details are either. Since S rank missions are all special missions, we just record them as S rank missions without actually getting the details, that's one of the special perks that is offered to those that want to commission a S rank mission. Of course, there are those that do share the details, but they weren't shared this time."

Lin Fan thought about it and felt that this did make sense. Those that could offer S rank missions definitely didn't have normal identities, so it was normal for the Seekers Guild to offer them this perk where they could hide certain pieces of information, or even all the information.

But of course, if they did, the people who offered the mission would have to give the information to the seekers personally since the seekers can't do anything if they didn't know what they needed to do.

Lin Fan didn't continue with this topic and took out the map that the woman had given him back in the room before asking, "Do you know any place that has an area that is similar to this."

Xiao Ling looked over the map and she was confused for a bit, but then it was like she recognized something as she said, "This!"

Lin Fan wanted to see if she would say anything else, but then she quickly turned around and began rummaging around in the area behind the counter. It didn't take her long to find what she was looking for and she quickly spread it across the counter in front of Lin Fan.

Lin Fan looked down at it and found that it was a detailed map, along with an area on the map that was just like the area on the map that he received upstairs.

Lin Fan revealed a confused look as he looked at Xiao Ling and asked, "What is this place?"

But Xiao Ling acted like she didn't hear this as she muttered to herself, "For her to send you to this place…Just what is she thinking?"

Lin Fan took note of these words and judging by the way she was reacting, it was clear that Xiao Ling knew something.

Lin Fan then asked, "What do you know about this?"

Xiao Ling was pulled out her thoughts when she heard this and she realized her mistake. She quickly covered her mouth, but then knew that there was no point since she had already said what she had already said.

She revealed a difficult look as she looked back at Lin Fan and said, "Please, don't make this hard for me. I can't tell you this."

Lin Fan looked at her for a bit before asking, "Alright, then what is this place?"

When Xiao Ling heard this, this time she didn't hesitate.

"The place that you're being sent is called the Kunlun Mountains, they're one of the special resource areas, just like Green Mist Forest that you went to before. This is a mountain that is filled with dangerous beasts, but there are also plenty of resources to obtain. However…"

After saying all this, it seemed like Xiao Ling was hesitating to say something.

Lin Fan said, "However?"

Xiao Ling gave a sigh and then said, "The location on your map is a place that isn't quite well known in the Kunlun Mountains, but recently there have been more reports coming in from there. It's because there's been reports of an Embryo Soul Realm beast that has taken up residence there that has been causing trouble for people."

Lin Fan immediately asked, "Embryo Soul Realm, are you sure it's in the Embryo Soul Realm?"

Xiao Ling misunderstood his words and gave a nod as she said, "That's right, it's in the Embryo Soul Realm. Even though it's only in the low Embryo Soul Realm, it is still an Embryo Soul Realm beast." After saying this, she didn't forget to mutter, "I really don't know what that crazy woman is thinking, sending my honey there."

Lin Fan felt like he had heard something strange, but he chose to ignore it.

It was too bad that Angela didn't ignore it.

She ignored most of the other things that Xiao Ling said, but she did pick up on the words "honey"...

It seemed like Lin Fan would be suffering a few more days…

But what Lin Fan was feeling right now was actually relief.

He had been worried that it might be a Child Soul Realm beast or a Nascent Soul Realm beast that he was being sent after, but now that he found out it was only an Embryo Soul Realm beast, he felt much more relaxed.

If the people around him were to know what he was thinking, they definitely would have cursed him until he drowned in a sea of spit.

Only an Embryo Soul Realm beast?

Unless one was from one of the twelve great factions, Embryo Soul Realm Experts were extremely hard to meet. Just a single Embryo Soul Realm Expert was already enough to support a small family that could control an area of the city, like the Xu Family.

Yet Lin Fan was saying "only" an Embryo Soul Realm beast?

Lin Fan actually had a misunderstanding of the power structure of the upper realm.

Experts gathered with other experts and those that were weak would fight over the scraps.

Naturally in a realm that was filled with crouching tigers and hidden dragons, it was the safest idea to find some form of backer. That was why it was impossible to see a single Child Soul Realm Expert that wasn't affiliated to a faction.

So in this kind of situation, it was rare to see an Embryo Soul Realm Expert that was on their own.

Lin Fan was the outlier since he was strong enough to fight a Child Soul Realm Expert and was wandering alone.

Unless he offended one of the twelve great factions, it was very unlikely he would even meet a Child Soul Realm Expert, not to mention a Nascent Soul Realm Expert.

So in the end, all of Lin Fan's worries were for nothing.

Lin Fan was much more relaxed now that he knew how strong his opponent would be and the fact that it was weaker than him was just a bonus.

He might even throw his pets at this Embryo Soul Realm beast to see how strong they were.

After confirming this, Lin Fan wanted to head off right away to finish this mission as soon as possible.

Since this was a place that had an Embryo Soul Realm beast, there must be other Soul Realm Beasts around that he could attack. He still needed more corpses to increase his rank as quickly as possible.

So Lin Fan wanted to leave, but Xiao Ling suddenly called out to stop him, "Lin Fan, why are you in such a rush? Did you not hear what I just said? This is an Embryo Soul Realm Beast."

Lin Fan wanted to leave, but he also didn't want to ruin his relationship with Xiao Ling by suddenly ditching her. After all, she had given him quite a bit of information, information that wasn't in the scope of her job.

Since she had treated him well, he would at least try to treat her well.

Lin Fan said, "I have my ways of dealing with these beasts."

As he said this, Lin Fan also revealed what he considered his "bad" face.

But Xiao Ling was completely stunned when she saw this as a blush quickly came over her face.

After a few seconds, she quickly covered her face and said, "Un, I believe you. But when you come back, do you have time to…"

Before she could even finish, Lin Fan felt a sudden pain coming from his ear.

He could only reveal a bitter smile at this as he allowed himself to be pulled away.

Just like this, Angela pulled him out of the doors of the Seekers Guild by the ear, dragging him into the distance in front of a stunned Xiao Ling who was complaining deep down.
