The blood and qi of a martial artist was especially important. Especially for Martial Entry-Level martial artists. After all, even the nine levels of the Martial Entry-Level were determined by the strength of one's blood and qi.
If this [Blood Corrosion] poison could corrode one's blood and Qi, it could indeed have a huge lethal effect on Martial Entry-Level martial artists.
Merely corroding the blood was not fatal to Martial Entry-Level martial artists.
At the same time, there was a certain difficulty in using it. It had to touch blood or wounds to trigger it. This made it difficult to poison them with food and wine.
He looked at the corpse on the ground.
After pondering for a while, Xiao Shi began to create some large and small wounds on the corpse. At the same time, he punched himself and left various injuries on his body, deliberately making himself look messy.
"This way… they probably won't be able to see the real battle situation."
He did not want to reveal his true strength now. Such a disguise was necessary. Otherwise, while he was unharmed, a hole would have appeared in the prisoner's body.
Anyone who saw this would understand that this was a battle between the strong and the weak. Right now, he looked as if he had experienced a huge battle. He was covered in injuries and looked extremely miserable.
After doing all this, Xiao Shi knocked on the iron door of the cell. His voice was hoarse and filled with fatigue.
"Senior Brother Yang, Senior Brother Wang, please open the door."
Outside, when Yang Zhen and Wang Changhuan heard Xiao Shi's voice, their eyes revealed surprise. They quickly opened the cell door.
"Junior Brother Xiao, are you alright?"
The two of them looked at Xiao Shi, who was covered in blood and looked exhausted. Then they looked at the body on the ground. They discovered that the entire corpse was covered in wounds. Just from these wounds, they could imagine the intensity of this battle.
"A Martial Entry-Level Five martial artist is really powerful! Fortunately, he's not at his peak. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to defeat him." Xiao Shi sighed.
"Junior Brother Xiao, you're already very powerful to be able to defeat and kill him. With your strength, I believe you'll definitely succeed in the mission later." Yang Zhen patted Xiao Shi's shoulder.
Xiao Shi immediately bared his teeth in pain.
"…Sorry!" Yang Zhen thought that he had touched Xiao Shi's wound and quickly moved his hand away.
Wang Changhuan laughed. "Come, let's go and drink. Congratulations to Junior Brother Xiao for successfully killing him."
The three of them walked out of the prison with a smile. As they drank and chatted, Xiao Shi also learned more about the night patroller mission from the two of them. It was just as the short-haired night patrolman had said.
The missions of the night patroller were usually randomly assigned. What kind of mission one could receive depended on luck.
"Actually, for us night patrollers with certain qualifications, even if we're unlucky and receive the most difficult mission, we don't have to be too desperate because we can exchange missions with each other." Wang Changhuan said to Xiao Shi as he drank. "For example, if I receive the most difficult mission, I will look for the experts in Team D to make an exchange."
"The missions can be exchanged?"
This was something Xiao Shi did not expect.
"Actually, the four teams of our Night Patrol Division have fixed mission indicators. Usually, our Team D's mission indicator is that we have to complete at least a thousand missions in two months.
"Among these 1,000 missions, there will be about 50 level one missions, which are the most difficult missions. 100 level two missions, 150 level three missions, 300 level four missions, and 400 level five missions.
"Then the captain will assign these tasks to us. As far as I know, the other three teams allocate missions according to the strength of each night patroller in the team. The strong ones are responsible for the missions that are more difficult, and the weaker ones will carry out the missions that are less difficult.
"But in our Team D… the captain usually randomly assigned the mission."
Yang Zhen explained to Xiao Shi.
"Why is that?" Xiao Shi was puzzled by this. He did not understand the captain's actions. It was clearly the most reasonable to assign missions according to their strength.
"Because our captain's management philosophy is different from the other three teams. The captains of the other three teams are well aware of the strength of their respective members. After all, the members were personally chosen by them. As for our Team D, the other three teams actually don't like us, so they gathered together in Team D.
"Therefore, our captain won't be like the other three captains who will nurture, manage, and engage.
"Our Team D are all on our own. The captain won't pay too much attention to us, nor will he waste time testing each of our strengths. He will let us develop on our own. Therefore, in terms of missions, we will also be randomly assigned.
"In any case, team members can exchange missions with each other. The weaker ones will naturally exchange with the stronger ones. It's just that for you newbies, it depends on luck. After all, you newbies don't know each other well. It's not easy to exchange missions. You can only carry out whatever mission you receive.
"This is also one of the reasons why the death rate of newbies in Team D is so high."
Xiao Shi finally understood. Compared to the captains of the other three teams, the captain of Team D was a little lousy.
But it was normal.
The members of the other teams were personally chosen by the captain, but Team D consists of members that were looked down on, so they were gathered here. Naturally, he would not spend time specially nurturing and managing them.
However, there was one thing that Xiao Shi did not understand.
"Are strong people sure to exchange difficult missions with others? Aren't they afraid of accidents?" Xiao Shi asked.
"The reason why powerful people choose difficult missions is not only because they are more confident in their own strength, but also because they can obtain more contribution points." Wang Changhuan explained.
"Usually, the harder the mission is, the more contribution points you'll get after completing it. Besides being able to exchange contribution points for powerful cultivation techniques, weapons, and medicinal pills, it's also the key to becoming an inner sect disciple.
"The condition for becoming an inner sect disciple is to increase your contribution points to 20,000 within three years of being a night patroller! To become a core disciple requires 80,000 contribution points!
"If it's just completing an ordinary mission, I can only become an inner disciple even if I risk my life. If you want to become a core disciple, you have to complete the most difficult mission."
Xiao Shi nodded.
He finally understood Team D's mission.
In terms of probability, the probability of receiving a Level 1 mission under the circumstances of randomly accepting a mission was not high. However, with Xiao Shi's personality, as long as there was such a possibility, he would definitely make sufficient preparations.
Xiao Shi quietly looked at the prison.
It was rare for him to find a place where he could obtain Martial Entry-Level items. He felt that he could continue to stay here and kill prisoners to obtain more Martial Entry-Level items.
