Meiluo City, Jie Ning and Zi Jing came to the Demon Fortress settlement task of Meiluo City with the enthusiastic support of Gnev.

"Show your voucher." Demon Fortress's staff looked at Gnev and said.

Then he looked at Jie Ning and other Demon who had accepted the mission, "You also give me your respective Demon Badge."

Soon, Gnev completed the formalities and was brought to Jie Ning and others by the staff to pay for the task.

To publish a task on Demon Fortress, you need to pay the reward of the task to Demon Fortress first. After the final task is completed, you can complete the task at any Demon Fortress and Demon who took over the task.

The local Demon Fortress will return the amount of the remuneration after deducting the handling fee to the task issuer, and the employer will pay the remuneration to Demon under the supervision of Demon Fortress staff.

As for why Demon Fortress did not pay on his behalf, it is because after all, Fiend Mission's mortality rate has always been high, and in many cases the employer can save a lot of remuneration...

Of course, the employer can also choose to secretly submit a mission to lie about Demon's casualties, if he is not afraid of being pursued by Demon Fortress.

This kind of task will be released directly by Demon Fortress, with a high bounty, and even Seven-star Demon will be tempted by the high bounty.

"Master Jie Ning, Master Zi Jing, this is your reward." Gnev took the lead and handed the two Space Ring containing the mission reward to Jie Ning.

The two took Space Ring directly, Zi Jing didn't care, and Jie Ning used his spiritual consciousness to roughly glance inside Space Ring.

Jie Ning looked slightly startled, and he found that the amount inside seemed to be far more than the original reward of one million Ink Stone.

Seemingly noticing that Jie Ning had discovered the difference in the number of Ink Stone, Gnev quickly explained in a flattering manner, "Thanks to the protection of two adults, my caravan arrived at Meiluo City safely and smoothly without any loss."

"I took it upon myself to give each of the two adults an extra five hundred thousand Ink Stone. I hope the two adults won't dislike it."

In fact, caravans like Gnev sometimes do not necessarily fight when they encounter bandits.

Occasionally they would choose to pay a certain price in exchange for the bandits' withdrawal.

It's just that this time with the presence of Jie Ning, this expenditure was completely saved...

Hearing this, Zi Jing then looked into his Space Ring and found that there was indeed a Ink Stone worth of one and a half million Ink Stone stored in it.

Although he didn't care about the little money, but looking at the little old man Gnev, Zi Jing also felt that this guy was more pleasing to the eye.

Zi Jing was satisfied with the other party's attitude.

On the side, the other people who took on this task did not show any strange expressions. They had already guessed this result.

"Okay, then we will accept it." Jie Ning was not polite and naturally accepted this Space Ring.

Seeing the two people accepting Space Ring, Gnev was relieved.

There are two extremely strong men in the team, so it is indeed safe on the road.

But he was also worried about whether he would offend these two adults if he was really given only one million Ink Stone as the reward for the task.

But he was afraid that adding too many Ink Stone would be regarded as an insult by the two strong men, and he would easily offend them.

After some thought, I decided to increase my reward by 50% as a thank you.

It not only shows respect, but if the other party is dissatisfied and you have this behavior, you can also add some Ink Stone as a reward later without looking out of place.

Seeing Jie Ning put away Space Ring without any care, Gnev felt as if a stone had been dropped in his heart.

The current result can be said to be the best result for Gnev.

Gnev and others also settled their rewards one after another.

After getting paid, these people came to express their gratitude to Jie Ning and then left in groups.

This is the easiest Fiend Mission they have ever done.

Finally, Gnev also left after saying goodbye to Jie Ning. He was in a hurry to deal with his goods.

As for Jie Ning who were still staying at Demon Fortress, they first browsed around Fiend Mission around Meiluo City under the reception of Demon Fortress staff, and after getting a general understanding, they walked out of Demon Fortress side by side.

Jie Ning looked at Zi Jing, "Zi Jing, do you have any ideas?"

"The next step is to take on a few nearby missions at Meiluo City and play for a while, or just stay here at Meiluo City for some time."

Zi Jing smiled, "Jie Ning, don't think about doing tasks when you first come here."

"Since this is our first time coming to this Meiluo City, of course we should find a hotel to stay for a while."

"Okay, let's do what you said." Now that Zi Jing has made the decision, Jie Ning naturally has no objection. Anyway, he can practice anywhere.

Ever since, the two of them found an elegant hotel to stay near Demon Fortress.

Jie Ning directly spent 9,000 Ink Stone to rent a courtyard in the hotel for ten years.

There is a small garden in this courtyard. There are two exquisite small buildings on both sides of the garden. Jie Ning didn't choose one, they just chose one and moved in.

After arranging a place to stay, the two of them chose to rest directly at their residence for two days.

It wasn't until the third day that the two of them walked out of the hotel and walked around the city.

It's just that Hell's city is as huge as ever. After walking for a while, both of them lost interest.

Suddenly, Zi Jing seemed to remember something?

"Jie Ning, didn't that Gnev give us a note introducing this Meiluo City?"

Jie Ning also reacted and quickly took out Gnev's notes from Space Ring.

At first, Zi Jing glanced at it and threw it to Jie Ning. After he accepted it, he subconsciously threw it into his Space Ring.

"That's it." Jie Ning held the notebook, "We just want to see if there are any interesting places recorded in Gnev's notebook."

"Since we want to study the characteristics of this Meiluo City."

"Then let's go to a restaurant and sit down first. We can also eat something and see if the dishes here are more unique." Then, Zi Jing took a fancy to a restaurant at a glance and walked over directly.

In this regard, Jie Ning had no choice but to quickly keep up with Zi Jing.

The two walked into the restaurant and found a seat to sit down under the waiter's reception.

The waiter handed each of them a menu.

After taking the menu, Jie Ning looked at the various dishes on the menu and couldn't help but sigh, 'Sure enough, no matter which city Hell is, agriculture and animal husbandry are really the most adaptable industries. '

The 'food' on this menu is basically produced by some Saint Domain Magic Beast, some of which Saint Domain Magic Beast Jie Ning has also seen in other cities.

Obviously the highest quality ingredients, the breeding of these kinds of monsters has spread in Hell.

In Jie Ning's view, whether these farmers belong to agriculture or animal husbandry basically depends on whether the monsters they breed are plants or animals...

Maybe it's mixed culture.

Unlike Material Plane's low-grade ingredients, the processing of these materials takes some time. The waiter told Jie Ning that it would take about eight hours for the two of them to serve all the dishes.

'I wonder if Life God Avatar can cultivate some Saint Domain Magic Beast that are naturally delicious and can be eaten. This should be a good business. 'Jie Ning's mind suddenly came to an idea about 'The Prisoner of Food-Coiling Dragon Limited Edition'.

The waiter left, Jie Ning put aside his meaningless thoughts and looked through the notes in his hand.

While looking at the notes, Jie Ning discussed with Zi Jing.

"Zi Jing, there is a Rainbow Valley near this Meiluo City. It seems pretty good. There will be a colorful glow over it for one month every thousand years."

"It's a pity that it's only been more than a hundred years since the last time the glow appeared..."

Jie Ning said with some regret.

Zi Jing didn't care, "It will only take more than eight hundred years. Then we can come here when the glow appears. Anyway, it doesn't take much time to come here."

Jie Ning was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

He suddenly realized that Zi Jing was a Overgod. As long as she wanted to, even if she had to cross Hell, it would only take half a day.

Shaking his head secretly, Jie Ning continued to read.

"This is not bad. In the west of Meiluo City city, there is a stone carving museum opened by the Earth Element high god. It is said that the owner of this museum has seen many Divine Beasts, and he displayed all the Divine Beasts in stone sculptures."

"Divine Beast's stone sculpture? It sounds interesting..." Zi Jing nodded with interest.

"Huh?" A piece of information instantly attracted Jie Ning's attention, causing him to let out a low groan.

"What's wrong?" Zi Jing heard Jie Ning's voice and looked over curiously.

Jie Ning raised the note in his hand, pointed at a piece of information and said to Zi Jing, "Look at this."

Zi Jing followed Jie Ning's hand and looked over. This is a long description.

"Stone Drum Mountain, the mountain is basically composed of a yellow-black rock." Zi Jing looked at the information on the note.

"The hardness of this rock is comparable to most Mid-grade Divine Artifact."

"There is also a smooth mirror-like Stone Wall in the mountain."

"Whenever someone launches an attack on Stone Wall, Stone Wall will make a drum sound, and then the same move will appear in front of Stone Wall to counterattack. The power of the counterattack move is basically maintained at around Strike of a Lesser God."

"It's just that this Stone Wall can only withstand attacks from Middle-God at most. Once the attack exceeds the endurance strength of Stone Wall, Stone Wall will be damaged and cracked, and it will temporarily lose this special reaction."

"But as long as you don't continue to attack Stone Wall, Stone Wall will slowly repair itself."

"Stone Drum Mountain is also named after this. This Stone Wall is exactly the drum head of this Stone Drum Mountain."

"In front of Stone Wall, a large number of powerful people have lived here all year round, trying to understand the mystery of Stone Wall."

Zi Jing's eyes lit up.
