What If I Can't Die?

"Aren't you afraid of death?"

The Vajra Saint did not understand. He had already said that it was very dangerous. Why would he still go?

"I'm not afraid."

Song Shi did not care. "I've even been to the Devil Refining Ground. It's not like I haven't dealt with the devils before."

"It's not the same."

The Vajra Saint was speechless. "The people in the Devil Refining Land are all young demons. How can they compare to those who have fought on the battlefield?"

"All the more reason for me to go. Only the powerful demons can help me grow."

Song Shi said righteously, "Vajra Saint, you don't have to persuade me. I'm not suitable for normal cultivation."

"Sigh, it's up to you. I realized that you're quite strange. Others avoid the demonic cave as much as possible, but you actually took the initiative to go."

The Vajra Saint shook his head helplessly. "If you want to patrol the demonic cave, you have to prepare quickly. We will set off in three days."

He considered for a moment. "I'm not in charge of patrolling the Demon Cave for the time being. Be careful. This is some information about the Demon Cave."

The Vajra Saint handed over a Jade Slip.

Song Shi was a little touched. This person was not related to him, but he took good care of him, making him feel a little embarrassed.

"Thank you."

Song Shi took it and felt a little emotional.

Ever since he entered the cultivation world, he had basically encountered mutual deception and indifference. Even those who treated him well mostly wanted to win him over.

He could sense that the Vajra Saint indeed wanted to help him. As for the matter of him cozying up to someone powerful in case he became rich in the future, there was barely such thoughts behind his actions. After all, who knew if he would die midway?

Song Shi took the Jade Slip and returned to his residence. He used his identity token to register for patrolling the demonic cave. Then, he began to browse through the information recorded in the Jade Slip.

After reading it, Song Shi felt that the so-called demonic cave was actually similar to the underground caves and tunnels in mortal wars. It was a place to hide from the enemy's attacks.

There were many of these things. Although many of them had collapsed due to the changes in space, the demons kept moving in the dark. The demon cave had actually become one of the hidden places of the demons.

The purpose of the patrol was to intimidate the demons and also to understand the situation in the demon cave at any time.

Song Shi planned to find a demonic cave to die in and return to Black Wind Canyon to cultivate.

However, on second thought, if he returned, wouldn't he have to give up on this place?

"If it really doesn't work, I will set up a backup resurrection point here."

Song Shi was a little conflicted. The backup resurrection point was in the lower realm. If he were to switch to this place, it would be troublesome to go home.

"There's no need to do this. The Heaven Patrolling Hall definitely knows the location of the Boundless Continent. When I become stronger in the future, I should be able to return at any time."

After some thought, Song Shi decided to change the location of the backup resurrection point.

Otherwise, it would be wasting the value of the spare resurrection point if he set it home.

After thinking it through, Song Shi directly signed up for the special Quests and continued cultivating for three days. Then, he gathered in the square in front of the Heaven Patrolling Hall according to the information.

He had just arrived and found it quite interesting. He hummed along the way.

In the end, his relaxed expression formed a sharp contrast with the solemn atmosphere in the square. Many gazes looked over.

Song Shi smiled awkwardly. He was surrounded by unfamiliar faces. All of them had solemn expressions, as if they were about to rush to the battlefield.

He looked like he was going on a trip. He was really out of place with these people.

"Ahem, hello, everyone."

Song Shi waved his hand in response to everyone's gazes.

In the end, all he received were cold faces, as if someone owed him money?

"Are you new? I've never seen you before."

Someone still replied to Song Shi.

"I am the new guy."

Song Shi nodded.

"No wonder. Once you go, I believe you won't be able to smile anymore."

The latter chuckled and was just short of mocking him.

"Perhaps. Did you all take the initiative to apply for this Quest?"

Song Shi asked casually.

"There aren't many who take the initiative to apply. Basically, these are people who lack resources. There are also people who have been arranged. Every Heaven Patrolling Hall guard has to carry out a special Quest once a year."

The latter glanced at Song Shi. "If you can come back safely this time, you won't have to worry about this mission for a year."

Song Shi kept talking to this person, and as they chatted, he learned the latter's name.

Zhang Yili was a late-stage Soul Transformation cultivator. Just like him, he was a fourth-grade Heaven Patrolling Guard. He could be considered a veteran here.

After learning that the other party was a native of the Black Spirit Realm, Song Shi took the opportunity to ask about the internal affairs of the Black Spirit Realm. However, the other party did not say much, as though it was taboo to talk about him.

Song Shi only asked if the other party's hometown was in the Spirit Domain where the humans were. Zhang Yili shook his head and said, "Stop talking. The Purgatory Great Sage is here."

Song Shi turned his head, and a burly man in a fiery red robe walked out of the hall.

The other party's entire body was emitting magma-like energy. He did not seem to be a human. There were Fire patterns between his eyebrows, and his aura was very Berserking.

Behind him were ten True Saints, but there was no Vajra Saint among them.

"Purgatory Great Sage, one of the ten commanders of the Fire Spirit Clan. I didn't expect this team to be led by a Great Sage."

Song Shi had also learned about the Heaven Patrolling Hall. Information about this Great Sage popped up in his mind.

"Hmph. If it weren't for the Great Sage, we might have all been wiped out by the demons."

Zhang Yili snorted. "Don't make a fuss."

At this moment, the Purgatory Great Sage swept his gaze across the entire venue and said with a buzz, "Everyone is here. As usual, we will act according to the distribution situation. A team of one hundred people will set off now and investigate the situation in the demon cave as soon as possible."

He didn't say anything else. He raised his hand and threw out a fiery red boat. It quickly enlarged and turned into a huge fire boat. It was a large-scale flying Dharma treasure that could accommodate tens of thousands of people.
