In the Taya City, in an extremely luxurious restaurant.
"Sir, Madam, your ' Deep Sea Demonic Whale Island' is ready." The waiter placed a large platter of food, which shimmered with a deep blue luster and looked like a small whale after being plated, on the table.
This dish looks very innovative, but it's the restaurant's specialty. It's said that the Deep Sea Demonic Whale is a special Saint-level beast ingredient imported from the Water Divine Plane, and its taste is extremely delicious.
Luo Ao smiled as he looked at the dish, " Echidna, still thinking about which Fiend Mission to take? Come and try this specialty dish first, and see how you like it."
" Luo Ao, isn't it a bit too extravagant for us? I remember this dish alone costs close to 20,000 Inkstone, right?" Echidna snapped out of her reverie and looked at the lifelike 'miniature whale' on the plate, instantly whetting her appetite.
It must be admitted that these top chefs from the Infernal Realm are indeed exceptionally skilled, capable of creating such tempting dishes.
"Don't worry, we won't lack Inkstone." Luo Ao smiled and casually picked up a glass of fiery red wine that was as clear as crystal. This bottle of 'Flame Dance Intoxication' was said to have originated from the Fire Divine Plane. It did indeed have a unique flavor, far superior to the wines of the Material Plane.
"The meat of this Deep Sea Demonic Whale is indeed very chewy, and the chef's skills are beyond reproach." After tasting the first bite, Echidna was instantly impressed by the chef's culinary skills from this Infernal Realm.
The two enjoyed a delicious meal and then rested for the night.
The next morning, the two went to the second floor of the Fiend Castle to choose their mission.
When the receptionist asked the two what kind of mission they wanted, Luo Ao only replied with one sentence, "A mission that will allow me to leave Redbud Prefecture!"
After Luo Ao stated his request, the receptionist at Fiend Castle said, "Then let's have an escort mission. It needs to leave Redbud Prefecture, and it's a two-star level mission. There are nine types."
Luo Ao and Echidna are currently only One-Star Fiend, and can only accept two-star missions at most. However, there are quite a few two-star missions that span several prefectures.
"This one will do." After a quick glance, Luo Ao randomly picked one of them.
Echidna leaned closer for a look and laughed, "To the Eternal Night Prefecture at the westernmost tip of the Muja Continent? Over a hundred billion miles away, that's quite a distance."
"It's more fun when it's far away," Luo Ao laughed, completely unconcerned.
Upon hearing this, the receptionist thought to himself, "They really don't know their place. Newly minted Fiend like you will die the fastest."
Over the years, the reception staff had seen this kind of thing countless times. Some people, having just become Fiend, couldn't wait to see the vast world of the Infernal Realm, unaware that...
In this Infernal Realm, even Six-Star Fiend can capsize during a mission if you're not careful.
Luo Ao and Echidna had no idea what the receptionist was thinking. After leaving the Fiend Castle, they were still discussing the mission they had just received.
"Although the distance is quite far, the employer is offering a reward of 800,000 Inkstone, which is quite generous." Normally, the reward for this kind of two-star escort mission is not very high. For short distances, it might be 50,000 to 60,000 Inkstone, and even for longer distances, it would be around 500,000 Inkstone.
Eight hundred thousand Inkstone is indeed a high price.
"To hire so many low-level Fiend of one or two stars from such a long distance, I wonder what the employer was thinking?" Echidna was also somewhat surprised by this.
Low-star Fiend are generally only at the level of God, but this mission requires them to traverse a distance of billions of miles. The fact that such a mission has invited a large number of God Fiend is indeed very strange.
"Hehe, why think so much? You'll know when you get there," Luo Ao chuckled nonchalantly.
He actually sensed something fishy was going on, but he was confident in his abilities. Wouldn't a more complicated journey be more interesting?
On the evening of the third day, Luo Ao and Ao arrived Taya City and met their employer for the mission, as well as a large group of Fiend who had accepted the same mission. Together, they boarded a bright silver Metal Lifeform and left Taya City, heading towards the distant Eternal Night Prefecture.
It's worth mentioning that during this mission, Luo Ao and Ao encountered quite a few acquaintances, including Aslan, who had recently been promoted to Six-Star Fiend, and the silver-haired youth Pero, who were also traveling with them. However, the two of them clearly did not recognize Luo Ao.
"Interesting, they actually invited so many high-level Fiend." Luo Ao realized that this mission was definitely not going to be simple.
There are so many powerful Fiend that set out from Taya City alone, and there are actually quite a few Fiend among these silver Metal Lifeform.
Clearly, the employer did not originate from Taya City, but was merely passing through and stopping here for a while.
" Luo Ao, look, there are almost thirty or forty Highgod Fiend here." The two were sitting by the window, Echidna lowered her voice, realizing that something seemed amiss.
"These Highgod Fiend are probably on a cross-continental mission. Their employer's destination is likely not just the Eternal Night Prefecture." Luo Ao had many guesses about this mission and found it increasingly intriguing.
" Echidna, if you encounter any danger, don't hesitate to use those blue droplets I gave you." Although Luo Ao didn't think Echidna would be in any danger under his protection, he still gave her this special instruction.
"Yes, I know." Echidna nodded solemnly upon hearing this.
Among the Metal Lifeform, a silver-haired, refined middle-aged man resembling an employer appeared. This silver-haired middle-aged man introduced himself as Feilan.
He looked at everyone and said with a smile, "Thank you all for accepting this Fiend Mission. If my family and I reach our destination safely, we will certainly reward you with generous gifts! Now, if you would like fine wine and food, the Metal Lifeform are equipped with servants and chefs. Please feel free to ask!"
Luo Ao glanced up at the silver-haired man casually, wondering about his background. Such generosity suggested he might come from a powerful family in the Infernal Realm.
This Feilan was polite and looked like a scholar, with a very approachable demeanor.
After saying these words in the rear cabin, he went to the front cabin, where there were two Six-Star Fiend and seven Five-Star Fiend.
He relies most heavily on these people to ensure a smooth journey to his destination.
The two Six-Star Fiend Gelan, an old man with blue hair and eyebrows who had originally lived in this Metal Lifeform, and Aslan, a burly man with a golden lion's mane.
The two remained indifferent, only occasionally responding to Feilan's greetings, and Nana Gelan didn't even bother to open his eyes.
"These two guys are indeed quite arrogant, but their arrogance stems from their strength. What's that saying again? The demeanor of a strong person?" At this moment, a black-haired youth not far from Luo Ao Luo Ao his companion suddenly walked towards them.
"If one day I can cultivate to the level of Six-Star Fiend, my life will have been worthwhile." The black-haired youth looked at Aslan and the other two with a look of longing on his face, as if he dreamed that one day he could sit there majestically like these two Six-Star Fiend, showing off his 'strong demeanor'.
