CHAPTER XXXVII
Although there is a certain psychological preparation, but when the depressed sigh temple into everyone's sight, it still makes people feel a chill from the bottom of their hearts, the ruins of the temple in front of them are broken, occasionally blowing a gust of cloudy wind, rolling up some dust on the ground, there is no half of the popularity in all directions, and there is no greenery around, compared with the leafy sigh jungle outside, it is simply another extreme, barren to the extreme.
Ye Ran stood at the entrance of the dungeon, looking at the scene in front of him, and once again felt the familiar smell of the dungeon, which was not a fresh air, and occasionally there was a faint smell of blood.
"What are you thinking?" Lu Qi saw Ye Ran's solemn expression and asked curiously.
"I regret it, I should have charged more if I knew that you were going to open up the wasteland in the nightmare mode, so 100,000 gold is simply cheap, not enough for my medicine, even if I add a 0 after the amount, it is not too much."
“……”
A group of people walked towards the temple, and they didn't feel much from a distance, but the tighter they walked, the more creepy they felt, obviously the scene in front of them was not much fear, but it was a little uncomfortable that emanated from the heart, maybe this is the most primitive sense of crisis buried in the depths of the human soul.
When everyone was just about to enter the temple, the sharp-eyed Ye Ran found an NPC in the corner of the stone steps outside the temple door! I remember that in her previous life, she also came to the Temple of Sighs in Nightmare Mode, but she had never seen this NPC, there could be meaningless NPCs in the dungeon, this is a point that every old player knows, Ye Ran stepped forward lightly, and finally saw this NPC hidden behind a broken stone: this is an NPC with a human body and a snake tail, an old dragon clock, his eyes are cloudy, and a strand of silver hair is sparsely draped on his shoulders, and he looks at the Temple of Sighs with a blank expression, as if trying to see something from it.
This NPC...... Ye Ran seems to know his identity, once there are non-offensive NPCs in the dungeon, they will not be revealed, which requires players to speculate on the identities of these NPCs according to the background of the game and the setting of the dungeon, these NPCs often affect whether the completion of the dungeon is excellent, they generally only appear in the desolate dungeon, and can even help players better conquer the dungeon from the side.
Everyone stopped and looked at Ye Ran curiously, almost at a loss for this strange-looking NPC, only Qi Moyan looked at Ye Ran with a faint smile, it is estimated that he had already guessed the identity of this NPC.
"Dear Lord Folkus, my mentor O'Neill has asked me to greet you on his behalf." As soon as the words fell, Ye Ran found that the system reminded her that the "Exploration Sigh" jungle mission given by O'Neill had been completed, and now the task had become "Talk to Falkus".
"O'Neill, let me think about it, I've forgotten a lot of things with my friends for so long." The old and tired voice came out of the mouth of the NPC in front of him, and then Ye Ran found that the words "Forkus" were displayed on the top of his head, obviously her guess was not wrong, this NPC was the ancient sea god Forkus in Greek mythology, and he was also the father god of many sea monsters!
Ye Ran stood aside respectfully and did not rush to urge Folkus to recall, although the others didn't know what was going on, but the good quality of the elite group members made them impatient. After about fifteen minutes, Falchus gradually came back to his senses: "Young boy, you have the smell of Hermes, who are you?" ”
"He is my target and my division commander." For these "old monsters" in mythology, Ye Ran's attitude has always been respectful, NPCs, especially the NPCs that appear in the dungeon, are generally some transcendent big people, if you accidentally offend, the consequences can be said to be unimaginable.
"That's a brave boy, still weak, but a great hero in the War of the Gods!"
Clash of the Gods?! This is the first time Ye Ran has come into contact with this name in mythology in her life, but she knows that in the game's majestic quest chain, the battle of the gods is the most important and indispensable link, and even when the player level is generally upgraded to level 30, the myth also launched the first expansion pack, the name is "Battle of the Gods"!
"Since you are the inheritor of Hermes, then this thing should be given to you as a greeting gift." Falkus spread out his right palm, and there was a pair of studs with a black glow lying on it. Ye Ran took it curiously, and then there was a burst of joy.

A beam of golden light lit up from Ye Ran's body, and the task of "talking to Forkus" was completed, and a huge string of experience actually made her rise to another level, and now Ye Ran is already level 24, which is nearly 9 levels higher than the average level of mass players! And Ye Ran's upgrade made everyone else's eyes widen, Nima! This is fine, and it can be upgraded as well? And Qi Moyan raised his sword eyebrows slightly, with an unsurprisingly calm expression.
As soon as he put on the stud earrings given by Falkus, his hoarse voice came to his ears again: "Child, although I know that this is an excessive request, can you help me?" ”
Here it comes! It's a mission! Quests!
Ye Ran nodded without hesitation: "My lord, this is my honor, I will do my best to complete it and live up to my mission." ”
Falkus's cloudy eyes showed a look of relief, he nodded appreciatively, and then looked at the Temple of Sighs in front of him with a complicated expression: "My child Gorgon, who was tempted by the evil demon body, fell into a demon, for thousands of years they have been entrenched in it and done mischief, accidentally injuring countless gods and people, they raised poisonous snakes as their subordinates, absorbed countless primal spirits, they have fallen into hell and never recovered, I should have taken them in person, but my divine power has been almost exhausted in the battle of the gods, Can you help me eradicate this group of rebels? ”
Dare to love this is a righteous annihilation, although Ye Ran slandered in his heart, but his mouth was not ambiguous: "I must do my best, the people of Orlando are not afraid of death." ”
Ding-Falkus has +20 opinion of you
I'll give it a damn bit, that's okay, I've never heard of it in my previous life, and the opinion of the dungeon NPC can also increase.
Ding-Folkus asks you to destroy the evil forces that entrench in the Temple of Sighs, do you accept?
Accept!
The player accepts Forkus' request to go to the Temple of Sighs and eliminate the three Gurgon sisters and the evil leader of the serpents.
After Ye Ran accepted the quest, Falkus disappeared, and it seems that the reason why this NPC was not encountered when he came to Nightmare Mode before was because the same quest had been triggered by other players, so there was no Falkus.
Gorgon? The leader of the serpents?
Ye Ran remembered this copy that he had placed before, at that time he didn't have such a familiar understanding of the background as he is now, plus he was full of self-evident fear of this copy at that time, so he didn't think about it anymore, and now he met Falkus and accepted the task he promulgated, Ye Ran finally sorted out the origin and characteristics of the boss in the copy, combined with the original setting in ancient Greek mythology, she had a headache and found that this copy seemed to be a bad strategy. You must know that in her previous life, when she came to this nightmare mode copy, she had already been won by someone else for the first kill, and I vaguely remember that the completion of the copy of the original group of people was not very high, and because of this, the copy monster they faced was just a general nightmare mode difficulty, but now it is applied to the historical records related to Forkus, this copy of the wasteland is a degree of completion, and its difficulty is naturally better.
"Xiao Ran, what's wrong?" Jian Sha couldn't help but feel a little worried when she noticed her friend's increasingly serious expression, since she had spoken to that NPC before, she felt a solemn aura rise around Ye Ran.
"Before entering the temple, I would like to ask everyone a question, "Instead of unprepared and indiscriminately open up the wasteland, it is better to be prepared to respond to all changes," Do you know the three Gorgonne sisters? ”
Ye Ran's words made Qi Moyan restrain his lazy atmosphere, he knew better than anyone else what these six words represented, and then remembered that this copy was closely related to snakes from the previous task to now, and he felt relieved, indeed, when it comes to snakes, it is very suitable to contact the three Gorgonne sisters.
"The three Gorgons?" Lu Qi also frowned slightly, although he was not as knowledgeable as Ye Ran and Qi Moyan, it didn't mean that he didn't know anything, "You mean that the three Gorgons sisters here?!" ”
"Falkus is the father of the three Gorgonne sisters, and the NPC just now has a snake-tailed human body and an old man, which is completely in line with the appearance and characteristics of the ancient sea god Forkus recorded in mythology, so that NPC is Forkus, right?" Qi Moyan explained, "What task did you receive? ”
"Forkus's request, to destroy the evil forces entrenched in the Temple of Sighs." It's easy to talk to smart people, and you can guess a little bit.
"Righteous annihilation?" Long Che made a harmless joke, "If the boss here is really the three Gorgonne sisters, then isn't the mission issued by Falkus to let you kill his daughter?" ”
Seeing that the other members of the elite group were still at a loss, Ye Ran said with a straight face: "Maybe you will feel very strange to the three Gorgonne sisters, but if I am talking about Medusa, you should have heard of it, right?" ”
"You...... Are you saying that the boss here is Medusa? That female basilisan?! "Ke Ling Keli is a pastor, although he is usually not timid, but he is still afraid of things like snakes, this is nature, and he can't complain about anyone.
"Remember to drink a bottle of antidote before you go in." Others may not know, but Ye Ran knows very well that from the moment he steps into the temple, the player will be hit by a buff that continues to lose blood - 100 HP per second, and this buff cannot disappear unless the final boss is defeated.
And the effect of the Misty Shadow Grass Antidote is to increase HP by 100 points per second, this subtraction and one increase, just the same, but the effective time of a bottle of Fog Shadow Herbal Elixir is only 1 hour, and 2 bottles are 2 hours, from the moment they step into the temple, their lives have entered the countdown stage, and within 2 hours, they have cleared the Temple of Sighs in Nightmare Mode, which is not a light burden. Hand the remaining sulfur powder to Qi Moyan, Ye Ran knew that sulfur was useless to most of the bosses in it, but the little monsters in it were afraid of sulfur, and the hunter smeared the sulfur powder on the arrows, which would increase exponentially on the group of dungeon monsters, no matter how small things were, they had to be used on the blade, Ye Ran didn't plan to expose himself to the fact that he had exquisite grenades in front of too many people, so he could only rely on hunters, mages and other group attack professional players to solve the affairs of the mobs!
