The NPCs who originally seemed to be planning to leave the lord's hall all paused after hearing Qin Ling's words, and then looked at Qin Ling one by one.

Just when Qin Ling was a little unsure, all the NPCs, including the guards outside the door, directly took out their weapons and aimed them at Qin Ling!

Seeing this scene, Qin Ling also stayed directly in place, what are these guys going to do?

"Who are you?! Why do you know the standing stone of the source water? The Marcus City Lord at the head glared at Qin Ling and asked.

The city lord of Shanshui City is called Marcus, and unlike the city lord of Tianfeng City, he is not an old man NPC, but an extremely strong middle-aged man, looking at the equipment on his body and the giant sword behind him, he should be a warrior.

Qin Ling is also a little unsure, so, what is this standing stone of source water? Why did you make these NPCs so nervous just by saying a word?

That's right, Qin Ling saw tension in these NPCs, as if this Standing Stone of Source Water was very important to them.

"That...... I've only heard it heard from others...... It seems that those undead creatures outside the city are here for this? Qin Ling said cautiously.

Hearing this, all the NPCs frowned and sighed one by one, as if something bad was about to happen.

No one spoke, and the scene fell into silence.

After a long time, Marcus, the city lord of Shanshui City, said slowly: "You are an adventurer, and it is normal to not know what the Standing Stone of Source Water is. But in any case, this thing can't be given to those undead creatures! ”

Without waiting for Qin Ling to speak, Marcus continued, "How did you communicate with those undead creatures before they were killed? ”

Qin Ling was also stunned for a moment, he really didn't know how to answer this question. Wouldn't it be better to tell him that he was an undead creature?

However, after being in the game for so long, Qin Ling also knew that undead creatures were definitely not a good thing in this game world. Although there are not many head-on conflicts yet, he can also see from the clues in some quests that the undead creatures are definitely in opposition to these NPCs.

"That...... I also heard someone talk about it by chance. Qin Ling snorted, hoping to fool the past.

Marcus frowned tightly, and a pair of eyes stared at Qin Ling, as if he wanted to see through him.

Qin Ling was also covered in cold sweat, this city lord's level was very high, with level 80. Although he may not be able to see through his undead disguise, who knows what this guy will do to himself.

If he could do it directly, Qin Ling felt that he was definitely not the opponent of these NPCs.

Not to mention this city lord, even if those guard NPCs give him a treat, he can't stand it!

Guardian NPCs are also considered to be growing, and will increase their level according to the average level of players in the main city.

It can't be that the players in the main city are already level 100, and these guard NPCs are only level 40, so how can they suppress the players? How do you keep players from fighting in the main city?

Therefore, at this stage of the game, the level of all the guard NPCs in the second-level main city has reached level 60, which can still be regarded as suppressing players.

After a while, Marcus said directly: "Everyone, get ready to fight!" Although the undead creatures outside the city have not yet made any moves, they are definitely not just here to visit, and the battle will start at any time! You! Come with me to guard the Standing Stone of the Source Water! ”

Qin Ling was stunned, looked at Marcus, and asked, "Guarding the Standing Stone of Source Water?" Why? Could those guys really be able to storm the city? ”

Qin Ling hasn't said a word yet, you can't beat it, won't you ask for help? Why are you so good at dealing with players, and so hard at dealing with undead creatures that are only a few thousand in number?

Without giving Qin Zero a chance to continue to think more, Marcus left the lord's hall directly, and Qin Zero also left with Marcus under the close guidance of a group of guard NPCs.

This is a naked threat and kidnapping! I just said something casually, and I ended up going with this city lord to guard the standing stone of the source water?

Walking on the streets of Shanshui City, Qin Ling also felt the tension between players and NPCs.

However, fortunately, only Linlang Jiutian Guild dominates in Shanshui City, and it is not a problem to transfer between players. Even if it really fights, it should have the power to fight.

In fact, Qin Ling had always been a little puzzled by the fact that the number of those undead creatures was obviously not very large. Even if there is a level 80 lord-level boss leading the team, it should not pose a threat to a main city of tens of millions of people.

Even if the player can't deal with these undead creatures because of their level, what about the NPCs in the city? Managing a main city of tens of millions of people, if there are only a few thousand guard NPCs, Qin Ling will never believe it.

Even if there are only 10,000 people, is it still a problem to deal with tens of millions of spirit creatures?

Although he had such thoughts in his heart, Qin Ling still followed behind Marcus silently.

There's no way, if you don't follow him, maybe those guard NPCs will do it to themselves.

After a period of turning around in Shanshui City, a group of NPCs and Qin Ling all arrived at the easternmost part of Shanshui City, that is, the other side of Shanshui City, which was completely built on the mountain.

What Qin Ling didn't expect was that although there were mountains within the range of Shanshui City, he had always thought that this mountain range was just an environmental scene, and he didn't think that he could enter it.

But now it seems that it is really possible to enter the mountains, not on the top of the mountains, but on the inside of the mountains.

At a very hidden entrance, Qin Ling followed a group of NPCs into the interior of the mountain range.

The space inside the mountain range looks very large, and there are all kinds of facilities, but it seems that all of them are some military facilities, but in just a few minutes, Qin Ling saw countless army guard NPCs here, and the level is also high and terrifying, all of them have the same level as the city lord Marcus, level 80!

At first glance, this army has not tens of thousands but thousands of people, isn't it good to send these people out?

Suppressing the suspicion in his heart, Qin Ling still followed behind Marcus.

After about half an hour's walk, the passage in the mountain turned sharply, no longer parallel in a straight line, but continued downward from a bend.

And after turning into the passage below, Qin Ling also found that this passage was actually opposite to the one above. The upper passage leads to the east into the mountains, while the lower passage leads to the west.

That is, the channel is like two parallel lines, one above and one below.

After walking for another half hour, Qin Ling felt as if he had returned to the direct underside of the entrance that had originally entered the mountain range.

But the passage has not yet reached the end, and it still stretches into the distance.

When he got here, there were almost no NPCs in sight, only Qin Ling and those NPCs who had been by his side were advancing in this passage.

After walking for about half an hour, Qin Ling felt as if he was already in the very center of Shanshui City.

Here, however, there is an even larger underground space. The space is simple, there is hardly anything, only five corridors of different colors that lead in the wrong direction.

One of the aqua blue passages is a high platform that connects to the center of this underground space.

On this high platform, there was a mass of water floating in mid-air. It looks no different from a normal water mass, but it can float in the air, which is very unusual!

Moreover, the aqua blue passage connected to it is also full of water, and it smells like seawater, but it doesn't seem to be, and I don't know where this waterway leads.

Except for the passage itself, which connected to the water mass, one of the other four was gray. It didn't seem to be this color originally, even Qin Ling, who came here for the first time, could see that this gray seemed to be the color of death.

This passage seems to be dead. He didn't know what color it was, but it was strange that a passage that was originally a dead thing gave him the feeling of death.

Except for these two passages, which look more special, the other three are not the same color. One is pale cyan, another is reddish, and the last one is dark brown.

The three-day passage looked like it was all alive, giving Qin Ling a feeling of being alive.

This feeling was still quite amazing, at least Qin Ling hadn't felt any breath of life on such a dead thing before.

Didn't care about these passages, Qin Ling also looked at the water mass on the high platform, if he guessed correctly, this should be the standing stone of the source water.

In this entire space, Qin Ling could feel an extremely special power, very wet, but not the feeling of dampness. This feeling is even more fantastic, and I am afraid that it cannot be felt at all in reality.

"This is the standing stone of the source water?" Qin Ling asked.

Marcus nodded and said, "That's right, as the name suggests, this is the power of water. It's also ......."

Halfway through his words, Marcus stopped, which also made Qin Ling a little curious, but no matter how much he asked, Marcus stopped talking, but stood quietly next to the standing stone of the source water, closing his eyes and recuperating.

After a while, it seemed that he was a little irritated by Qin Ling's chattering words, and Marcus said lightly: "No matter who you are, even if you are a spy of undead creatures, you can't do anything with me here." But if you don't have anything to do with the undead creatures, I'll let you go alive when the battle is over. ”

With that, Marcus stopped talking and stood still.

Hearing this, Qin Ling also shut up directly, and if he continued, would he be killed by these NPCs?
