Chapter 8 Be Careful and Cautious
"roar!"
Bai Long was even happier after hearing Zhang Changsheng's words.
While stroking the white dragon's head and showing affection to it, Zhang Changsheng checked the white dragon's information.

Bloodline Evolution 2: Simultaneously feeding this warhorse a second-tier white dragon fruit, a second-tier ice core, and a third-tier dragon beast heart will advance it to a second-tier ice horned dragon horse.
"It can even evolve! I feel like I can use this information-viewing ability to train mounts and battle pets."
"For every point of intelligence, you can contract a monster as a mount or battle pet. I currently have 5 points of intelligence, so I can contract 5 monsters."
"I feel that if I have enough money in the future, I might try my hand at being a summoner."
After reading Bai Long's message, Zhang Changsheng thought to himself.
"Let's go, White Dragon."
Zhang Changsheng mounted the white dragon and galloped towards Baima Village.
The white dragon, now an Ice Scale Horse, has an agility of 6 points, making it much faster than Zhang Changsheng. When it runs, it's like a high-speed train, with the scenery on both sides rushing past.
Guided by the magic map, Zhang Changsheng was not afraid of going the wrong way.
……
At the entrance of Baima Village, several young men sat under a big tree, drinking cheap liquor and boasting loudly.
"You have no idea how awesome I was yesterday. I utterly annihilated those goblins."
boom!boom!
A group of young men were boasting when they suddenly heard a sound like muffled thunder coming from afar, growing louder and louder.
Several young people looked in the direction of the sound, then turned to look into the distance.
A black dot was getting closer and closer; its shape was indistinct, and it was moving too fast.
A final gust of wind blew, causing the young men to stand up from the ground and stumble backward a few steps.
With a loud thud, a small crater was created in the ground, and a huge creature appeared before them.
The young men stared wide-eyed in shock at the enormous creature before them; they had never seen such a large warhorse before.
Moreover, this warhorse was covered in scales, making it look like a tough opponent.
"This is an extraordinary monster!"
The group was quite shocked, thinking to themselves...
"Luckily he has an owner, otherwise he would be dead."
Some people looked at the knight sitting on horseback with relief and envy in their eyes.
"I am an adventurer, and I have accepted the mission to exterminate ghouls."
Do you have any intelligence?
"If we have any information, these silver coins are yours, one for each of you."
Zhang Changsheng took out a few silver coins from his money bag, tossed them around, and then asked.
"So, you've come to exterminate the ghouls, sir. Yes, you have."
A dark-haired young man spoke up and stepped forward.
"Sir, do you see that mountain?"
The young man pointed to the distant mountains and said, "Those ghouls are on that mountain."
"Up in the mountains?"
"Weren't your villages attacked?"
Zhang Changsheng looked at the young man with some doubt. The mission sheet had a picture of a ghoul.
According to the information in the encyclopedia, ghouls love to eat people, so they should theoretically attack villages.
"Something's strange. Could my luck be that bad that I've run into such an odd mission as soon as I step out the door?"
Zhang Changsheng narrowed his eyes, a thought of retreating forming in his mind.
He's a man with a cheat code; as long as he develops steadily, becoming a god or ancestor isn't impossible, so there's no need to take any risks.
"Uh, they didn't attack our village."
After thinking for a moment, the young man scratched the back of his head and said, "If it weren't for a few hunters encountering ghouls on the mountain, I'm afraid no one would know that ghouls had appeared on the mountain."
"I understand, these silver coins are yours."
Zhang Changsheng nodded slightly, flicked the silver coins in his hand, and they fell into the hands of everyone, one for each person, no more and no less.
"From what I understand, ghouls like to eat people, but since they haven't come down to attack you, they are most likely being controlled by someone, probably a necromancer or a higher-level monster."
"So you'd better be careful and report this to your village chief."
Good luck to you!
After saying this, Zhang Changsheng pulled on the reins and rode the white dragon towards Iron Furnace City.
"this?"
The young men looked at each other, their expressions changed drastically, and they ran into the village.
Meanwhile, deep within the mountains, ghouls emerged one after another from a black magic circle.
After the ghouls came out, they didn't move around randomly, but stood in an orderly manner, like an army.
Some ghouls even wore armor and had bright, intelligent eyes; they were clearly not ordinary ghouls, but extraordinary ones.
……
Zhang Changsheng returned to the Adventurers' Guild.
"Lord Changsheng, you've completed your mission? So quickly?"
Leia looked at Zhang Changsheng in front of her and asked in surprise.
"I didn't complete the task; rather, the task was rather strange, so I gave up on it."
Zhang Changsheng shook his head and said.
"There's something strange about the mission. Could you tell me why?"
Leia frowned and asked,
Zhang Changsheng is a first-tier wizard; a few ghouls are nothing he can't handle.
Zhang Changsheng actually abandoned the mission, which is obviously very wrong.
"I learned from the villagers that the ghouls were on the mountain and did not come down to attack the village."
"This doesn't fit the habits of ghouls. Ghouls have an excellent sense of smell; they can smell the scent of humans within 100 miles."
"Once it smells it, it will relentlessly pursue and launch an attack."
"But there were no ghouls on that mountain, even though the village was two or three miles away from the mountaintop."
"Therefore, those ghouls are most likely being controlled. They could be powerful magic-based superhumans or powerful superhuman monsters, but either way, they are extremely dangerous."
Zhang Changsheng spoke softly and briefly recounted the events.
"Man-made ghouls?"
"I understand. These kinds of unusual missions won't deduct points." Leia nodded and began recording, saying as she did so, "Lord Changsheng, I will report this mission as unusual."
"If what you said is true, the higher-ups will verify it and you will receive points as compensation."
"However, if you lie, you will lose 10 times the points, which is 80 points."
"Then I'll trouble you, Leia." Zhang Changsheng nodded and said with a smile, "By the way, don't call me 'sir' anymore. Your brother and I are friends. Just call me Changsheng."
"Okay, Brother Changsheng."
Leia agreed with a smile, very happy.
