"Ye Fan, you passed the tenth level of the Hezi Ship. I should give you a prize for this level."
Dean Cao did not expect anyone to reach the tenth floor, nor did he prepare any prizes for this level.
"Well, the wine in my wine gourd is called 'Huoyun Shao', and it can be regarded as the best wine in the third level. President Feng of the Chamber of Commerce made a bet with me yesterday and thought of a way to get me a glass of wine to drink. You'll get drunk as soon as you go down. I'll fill a small gourd for you, which will probably hold about ten small cups. If you drink it leisurely, you'll probably be able to drink it for half a year."
Dean Cao thought about it and soon came up with a great idea. He found a miniature gourd from the storage ring and poured a small gourd of wine to Ye Fan.
If it had been anyone else, he would have made up for it. He gave Ye Fan such a small gourd because he liked Ye Fan very much. If Ye Fan can make Ye Fan like the taste of this wine, he will have a drinking buddy who understands wine in the future.
"Thank you, Dean!"
Ye Fan also looked happy and took a palm-sized miniature gourd from Dean Cao.
The "Huoyunshao" brewed by Dean Cao himself is not ordinary expensive. The raw material cost of the large gourd wine in his hand costs thousands or tens of thousands of yuan stones.
This miniature gourd is smaller, but the wine inside is probably worth at least a hundred yuan stones. The most important thing is that this wine is not available in Donglai City, but it is the only one brewed by Dean Cao himself.
"President, there is also a combined token!"
"Oh, I almost forgot this token?"
Dean Cao took out a token and handed it to Ye Fan.
Ye Fan asked: "These ten tokens combined seem to be an adventurer's map. Does Dean Cao know the details of this map?"
"This adventurer's map is a map token that the president of the adventure guild found when he met a ghost clan warrior during his early training. He once went to investigate and found that it was a gathering of small ghost clans. The place. The danger is not great. The strongest one seems to be in the late stage of the Ghost Clan Martial Lord. It is still a place that you Martial Lord can go to. He later divided this map into ten pieces as a mystery of the 'Ten Boat Races' Reward. As long as you can pass the ten consecutive boat races, you should have some confidence in dealing with the ghosts there, and you can probably find a lot of useful things. As for the location, you need to follow the map to find it yourself!"
Dean Cao pondered for a moment and said. Martial Lord-level adventurer maps are not of much interest to Martial Lords, and are mostly used for the training of juniors.
"Disciple understands, leave!"
Ye Fan received a small bottle of gourd wine and the last piece of the compound token of the "Ten Boat Races", and then said goodbye to Dean Cao.
He and his team left the giant ship and took Jiang's boat to the east of the city on the Donglai River.
It was getting late at this time, and the Donglai City rafting party was about to be held in the east of the city. If the princess and Li Hao do not regret it, then nine people from the Luyang team will be able to participate in this rafting party.
On the deck of Jiang's ship, Qin Yuer excitedly put together the ten tokens obtained in the "Ten Boat Races" on a wooden table.
"This is indeed an adventurer's map, an underground palace! The president of the Donglai County Adventurer's Guild is a master adventurer. This kind of underground palace must be very valuable after being personally identified by the president of the Donglai County Adventurer's Guild. Value. Otherwise, he wouldn't use it as the most mysterious reward for the ten consecutive boat races."
Qin Yuer glanced at the map spliced together with tokens, looking surprised.
The ten tokens are all triangular and merged together to form a circular map. A map of the underground palace is drawn in the middle, occupying nearly two-thirds of the area.
The surrounding terrain is undulating mountains, with no particularly significant terrain. It is not easy to determine the location of this underground palace.
"Yu'er, can you tell where this is? Is it within the scope of Donglai County? If it is in or near Donglai County, then it will be easy for us to go! If it is too far away, I'm afraid it will be difficult to make the trip."
Lin Dan was excited and a little worried.
Qin Yu'er shook his head and said, "I can't tell now. I have to carefully compare the terrain on the map of Canglan Country and look for it."
"Even if you know where it is, can you go there?"
Ao Lie coldly poured a handful of ice water on everyone and said: "With our strength that has just broken through the first level of the Martial Master Stage, and we have only just begun to practice vitality combat skills, we dare to explore this ghost clan's underground palace?!
Dean Cao said that it was a gathering place for small ghost clans, and there were even late-stage ghost lords! As long as there is one late-stage Ghost Lord, it will be enough to kill us all. Without decades of hard work, our realm and combat effectiveness would not be able to grow at all.
The reason why we can pass the ten consecutive boat races is because Ye Fan is very knowledgeable, but it does not mean that our martial power is equally strong. If it was the princess's talented martial arts team, or Li Hao's team, they might still be able to give it a try. Forget it about our team.
Let's save our time and think about how to deal with tonight's rafting party! This rafting session is a real test for us. "
After Ao Lie's words, everyone suddenly remembered their current cultivation strength.
Most of them have just broken through to the Martial Master realm this year and do not have enough strength to go to those dangerous adventure places.
The excitement that had just been ignited in the crowd was immediately extinguished.
The thing that has the greatest impact on them now is tonight's rafting party. It will greatly enhance their reputation and help them gain a foothold in Donglai City.
"If I had known that this token would be of no use to us now, I shouldn't have fought with the princess and the young princess for this combined token. If I offend them both now, I'm afraid we will have a hard time in Donglai City in the future!"
"It's too late to talk about this now! We have offended both of their teams a long time ago!"
"Even without the princess and the young princess, the other talented warriors on the "Donglai List" still regard us as a thorn in their side! They are also difficult to deal with!"
...
After nightfall.
On the contrary, Donglai City is more lively than during the day. The main streets in the city are packed with people, more than hundreds of thousands of people.
During the day, on the Donglai River, the Mid-Autumn Festival "Ten Boat Races" co-sponsored by major guilds, anyone with Yuanshi can participate, which is more of a Mid-Autumn Festival entertainment. Although there were quite a few tourists boarding the ship, it was not exciting enough and not fully enjoyable.
But the "boating party" held by Donglai Princess Palace was completely different.
Rafting is not just a fun trip, but an extremely dangerous adventure, a hundred times more dangerous and a hundred times more exciting.
Because it is extremely dangerous, only the top 100 young warrior-level figures on the "Donglai Ranking" are eligible to participate in this highly anticipated event.
Tonight is the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the night of the big moon tide, the night when the biggest beast tide breaks out in a year.
Groups of sea beasts will surge ashore with tonight's big tide and even attack Donglai City.
This group of martial lords from the "Donglai Bang" will dance on the tip of the dangerous beast tide to show their bravery and courage and superhuman peak strength.
When night falls, countless people from all over Donglai City have flocked to the top of the city with a great view to watch this extremely exciting rafting party.
A large number of building boats gathered on the Donglai River to watch in the river.
Jiang's boat appeared on the bank of Donglai River at the ferry.
Soon, a steward of Donglai County found Jiang's boat and sent Jiu copies of invitations to the Donglai Boating Party, inviting nine people from Luyang Prefecture, including Ye Fan, Gu Hanjian, Mu Bing, Jiang Youxi, etc., to board the boat. Go up to the East Gate Tower and prepare to participate in the rafting party.
The county steward who sent the invitation letter was very surprised that he invited these people who were not on the Donglai list to participate in the rafting party.
But this was a matter personally ordered by Young Princess Li Hao, and he did not dare to ask any more questions.
"Let's go! We can go to the East Gate Tower!"
"I guess the rafting party will start soon!"
Ye Fan and the other nine people received the invitation letter and then went to the East City Gate Tower.
The East City Gate overlooks the endless East China Sea and is the eastern gateway guarding Donglai City. The city tower is huge and majestic, and the city guards have already been prepared with heavy armor and sharp swords to prevent sea beasts from attacking the city.
On the city tower, a heavy-duty city defense cannon was set up, a heavy crossbow that could fire arrows weighing thousands of pounds.
At this time, the city wall near the East City Tower was already filled with tens of thousands of people, noisy and lively.
Of course, those who are qualified to climb the city wall are at least mid- to late-stage warriors, or even martial masters. If sea monsters attack the city, they will also need to help the city guards to fight against it.
Ye Fan and the others walked through the crowd and quickly climbed up the tower with the invitation letter in hand.
Upstairs in the East City, Li Zhouying, the princess of Donglai County, Cao Hao, Dean Cao of Donglai County Courtyard, as well as the presidents of major guilds, Mr. Fan and Chairman Feng, and the heads of major aristocratic families, and many other adults are already here. .
In addition to these adults, there are also a hundred famous young martial masters on the "Donglai Ranking".
"Donglai Ranking" is not a combat power ranking, but a comprehensive ranking. Therefore, the people on the list are not all people with the best combat power. Many of them are martial lords with huge reputations and high overall strength. Even last year, Princess Ling Jiaojiao ranked 17th on the "Donglai Ranking" as a warrior.
Of course, most of the most powerful young warriors in Donglai City will also appear on this list.
Li Hao was also on the tower at this time, explaining something to Princess Donglai in a low voice.
Ye Fan and other nine people appeared on the East City Tower, which surprised all the martial arts masters on the "Donglai List".
Ye Fan glanced at everyone and quickly recognized some of the characters. Sitting at the top, Li Zhouying, the princess of Donglai County, has a burly figure and a square face, which is obviously different from Li Hao's gloomy and pale handsome face.
Li Zhouying frowned and said in a deep voice: "Hao'er, did you just say that you lost a bet with the princess, so you didn't participate in this rafting party?"
Li Hao nodded and said: "Yes, dad! In the Ten-Continent Boat Race, the kid's team met the princess's team, and they made a bet, and the winner could participate in the rafting party. As a result, the kid lost, so he had to give up this year's rafting event. meeting."
"But why did all the teams led by the princess give up the rafting party?"
Li Zhouying said doubtfully.
Li Hao's expression was stagnant, and he could only explain awkwardly: "She~she lost too! She lost to another team. Because of the bet, I specially invited them to participate in the rafting party."
These words shocked the dozens of adults on the city tower and all the talented warriors on the "Donglai List". They couldn't help but look at Ye Fan's team who had just stepped onto the city gate.
No wonder Li Hao's face was full of embarrassment.
If it was just a bet between him and the princess, there would be no shame in losing. After all, the team chosen by the princess was also a team of talented warriors and very strong. But this was a bet between him, the princess, and an unknown Luyang team. It was very embarrassing when both Donglai County teams lost.
