One step, two steps, three steps......

Zhang Xiaofei calmly walked towards the dilapidated fountain, at the same time his waist began to bend slowly, his body leaned forward slightly, and his hands clenched the end of the sand crab war staff behind him, with his right hand behind and his left hand in front.

Then the right leg took a big step forward, from the leg to the hip to the waist to the pectoral muscles to the shoulders to the arms, and finally to the clenched hands, in turn, and at the same time with a loud roar, aimed at the bottom of the dilapidated fountain and threw it heavily.

And the brocade rat realized that something was wrong, and screamed to get into the depths of the fountain, but it was useless, Zhang Xiaofei's purpose was to lift this thing uprooted, and it was useless for you to run anywhere.

"Boom!"

The huge fountain rose into the air, lifting up the layers of dirt below, and the brocade rat was naturally lifted away with the fountain, and it was constantly struggling at the bottom of the fountain.

But what can it do with the only one bit of power it has?

In this regard, Zhang Xiaofei smiled disdainfully, thinking that the fountain would definitely fall to pieces when it landed, and the brocade mouse would be crushed under the fountain (this guy is very hard, don't worry about being stoned to death), then he can slowly rummage and pull it out.

And things were indeed as Zhang Xiaofei guessed, the huge fountain fell to the ground and was smashed, and the brocade rat was also crushed under the ruins, and could only squeak over there.

There was a plea in his voice.

However, Zhang Xiaofei was unmoved, put away the sand crab war staff, rubbed his hands, and walked towards the ruins of the fountain with a smile......

Boom!

The sound of water gushing suddenly came, Zhang Xiaofei turned his head to the position of the original fountain in disbelief, and the details of the game were so awesome, after the dilapidated fountain was knocked away, spring water would gush out from underneath......

Maybe it should have been like this.

But in Zhang Xiaofei's eyes, he saw that one after another purple "big soap bubbles" were slowly rising from the ground and bursting half a meter above the ground, and a little purple liquid fell into the big pit on the ground.

After a while, it slowly accumulated a large pool.

Although it is said that this place is in the game, Zhang Xiaofei's intuition tells him that the fountain in this illusory world will probably not be like it is now.

And just when he was stunned, suddenly, it was dark...... No, it should be said that a huge curtain covers the sky above Zhang Xiaofei's head, and it is the light that isolates everything.

There is a change!

There seemed to be a figure flickering in the darkness, and Zhang Xiaofei's reaction was also fast, and he drew out the sand crab warstick again and was alert, but after a while, the mysterious comer did not take the opportunity to sneak attack.

At this point, Zhang Xiaofei did not dare to relax his vigilance...... It wasn't until a moment later that when the curtain fell, a guy dressed in a long black robe with a large black hood that seemed quite suspicious at all glances appeared.

It's definitely not a good person.

"It's been a long time, my young brave!"

Before Zhang Xiaofei could do anything, the guy in front of him who looked very good began to speak, Zhang Xiaofei was surprised to find that his body couldn't move, it seems that this is a special plot implanted in the game, and there must be something involved behind it.

"I've been waiting here for countless years......"

Suddenly, the guy short-circuited his speech, and then a note appeared in the void, and the guy in front of him, who seemed to be good, sucked the note into the pitch-black hood.

Could it be that this guy has forgotten the words?

Although people can't move, their consciousness can still think, and the mysterious man's strange behavior really caught Zhang Xiaofei's attention.

“…… I have waited here for countless years, just waiting for the man whom fate has pointed to appear, and today, when this black curtain descends on this purple fountain, I will meet you. ”

"You! This is the man to whom fate directs! ”

What an impassioned and provocative statement, even a guy like Zhang Xiaofei, who has been through games, anime and novels, almost felt excited about it.

"The task that the Lord once assigned to me is finally being completed today!"

"Ding! 【Mystery Man??? I hope you will take on the hidden quest [Cradle of Suffering], do you accept it? ”

Mystery man? What a name that I think is problematic no matter how you look at it!

Zhang Xiaofei looked at the name over and over again, and after making sure that he was not mistaken, he looked up at the guy in front of him who felt very suspicious no matter how he looked at it, and finally looked at the task name [Cradle of Suffering], swallowed lightly, and forcibly suppressed the soul of complaining that was about to explode in his heart.

It's so suspicious, everything is too suspicious, whether it's the person who posted the task, the name of the task, or this weird place, there is a very bad feeling everywhere.

If he refuses, will he kill me?

After all, this is an existence that even the system helps hide its name, and its real body must be extraordinary.

"You...... What reward will I be rewarded? ”

Slowly, he opened his mouth and asked in a tentative tone, already thinking about how to reject him later.

"+5 for all stats."

The mysterious man replied with a smile.

"The reward is too bad, I refuse to ......"

He answered directly without thinking about it, but when he was about to finish speaking, Zhang Xiaofei suddenly reflected......

What the? This guy says the reward is +5 for all stats?

The temptation of this reward made Zhang Xiaofei unable to refuse, but his words had already been released, and he could not be withdrawn at this moment, and Zhang Xiaofei's heart suddenly regretted it.

What if there is a problem with the NPC with such a reward (+5 for all stats is equivalent to adding 25 talent points, and upgrading to one level only gives a total of 3 talent points, so the reward for this quest is equivalent to adding more than 8 talent points)?

And the mysterious man in front of him stopped talking after Zhang Xiaofei said this, and a rather bad aura slowly came out of his body, obviously, his mood was very bad.

"All attributes +10, do you take it or not?"

The mysterious man's words were full of threats, and there seemed to be some different emotions mixed with them. But Zhang Xiaofei didn't care about this, he never expected that because of his little "mistake", the reward would be doubled!

And under the temptation of such a reward, how could Zhang Xiaofei refuse again?

"I accept!"

said so magnificently, under the temptation of 10 points of all attributes, Zhang Xiaofei abandoned all the doubts in his heart, suspicious? What's wrong with being suspicious? It's a game here, what's impossible, even if it's suspicious, it's rare to be able to scrape the earthly giant spirit clam that took eight hours of shaving?

And the suspicious mysterious man also showed a relieved smile after hearing Zhang Xiaofei's words, although it was deeply hidden under his big hood, but Zhang Xiaofei could feel it.

"Ding! The hidden quest [Cradle of Suffering] has been completed, and [Mystery Man??? Reward: +10 for all stat points! ”

What the? That's it? 10 points of all attributes in white hand?

Busy is to pull out the task panel and look at the task called [Cradle of Suffering].

【Cradle of Suffering】

Requirements: The so-called suffering is born from evil thoughts, so you must show the evil thoughts in your heart to the mysterious person and make him feel bad (1/1).

Zhang Xiaofei was shocked, and secretly said that this guy really had a problem, looking at such a personalized task, he only felt that he seemed to have been seduced by something good to get on a certain incredible thief ship...... But so what? There are so many good things on the thief ship, look at me and pull them all out for you!

It's really a good thing to have such a mentality, as for whether he can pick it out smoothly...... Let's wait and see.

"It's really good to be the one fate points to! Just ......"

The mysterious man did not hesitate to blow his praise, and then said, "...... Then I don't know if you dare to take on the next trial? ”

"Ding! 【Mystery Man??? I hope you will take the task [Humble Demon Seed], will you accept it? ”

Looking at the word demon seed that suddenly popped out of the system sound, Zhang Xiaofei knew that his task was definitely quite unbelievable, and it would be quite dangerous in comparison, but he couldn't give up at this point.

In fact, Zhang Xiaofei didn't plan to run away like this.

"Accept!"

Hearing Zhang Xiaofei's reply, the mysterious man nodded lightly, and then said slowly: "There is a territory of stinging snakes on the edge of the endless desert, countless years ago, they used to be the first demon king in the world, the subordinates of the dead poison master, at that time, the stinging snake tribe was strong, enough to rival the masters of the gods, until a batch of mortal powers appeared......"

As if it had evoked some sad past, the mysterious man in front of him sighed softly, and then said slowly: "Poor Demon King and his subordinates, who can know that they are not bad people?" ”

"Although it is said that he has committed an unpardonable sin of heaven and earth, it is just that...... There is a powerful Duke Slime in the tribe of stinging snakes, and killing him will free the ancient stinging snake patriarch who was devoured and sealed by him, and bring it to me. ”

After that, he turned to look at the purple bubbles behind him that were getting brighter and brighter, and ignored Zhang Xiaofei anymore.

And Zhang Xiaofei didn't plan to talk to him more, since he had already explained his mission, he had no reason to stay here, just to leave with his legs up.

He also knew about the Thorn Snake Tribe, both of which were level 20 monsters, but the location was very different from the Giant Frog Territory, which was to the east of the Adventurer's City, while the Snake's Tribe's was to the west of the Adventurer's City.

As the "gatekeeper" on the edge of the desert, although the Thorn Snake Tribe is said to be the same level 20 monster as the giant frog, its strength is much stronger than the giant frog.

But that's it, after all, Zhang Xiaofei can single brush the existence of a level 25 ultra-rare boss.

……

With Zhang Xiaofei's current speed of 122 points, it takes less than five minutes to walk from the city of adventurers, and the monsters in the west are stronger than those in the east, but the experience is the same, so there are many more people in the east than in the west.

Now he is standing on the edge of the desert looking at the undulating sand dunes and piles of stones in the distance, and he has some emotion in his heart, if it is calculated according to the calculation method in the game, this stinging snake tribe stretches out dozens of kilometers from east to west, north and south.

It is indeed a bit unbelievable that a level 20 monster race can have such a large territory.

Standing on the edge of the desert and looking inside, strangely shaped cobras with long hands covered in spikes wandered among the piles of rocks that were actually their old nests.

【Stinging Snake】

Synopsis: Countless years ago, it was just an ordinary sand snake tribe, and after being handpicked by the Demon King, it became the most terrifying Warcraft tribe at that time, and the most powerful warriors among them were even able to rush to the heavens to kill the gods.
