22. Sacrifices, NPCs
"Sizzle, sizzle......"
In the ball of light, a miniature version of the illusory black snake phantom was swimming inside, frantically rushing around.
But always, it can only hovering in the air.
【Black Serpent Spirit】
Grade: The first order of metamorphosis
Grade: Perfect Sacrifice
Description: The spirit of a cruel mortal-level black snake, because it has devoured some Terrans recently, sacrificing it should be able to resonate with the souls of the Terran heroes!
"Sure enough, the sacrifice is out!"
For the first time, Himeya's face showed a look of real excitement.
Because, sacrifice, which is actually the same as "meritorious", is a new buzzword that appears on forums these days.
Once the "player" completes the stronghold mission, then among the loot, there will inevitably be an item with a "sacrifice" in the attribute.
According to the name, it is known that it was used for sacrifice, and as for the process of sacrifice, it needs to be carried out in the stronghold of the race or civilization.
"Moreover, it turned out to be a sacrifice of perfect quality, and theoretically, it would be able to maximize the effect of the sacrifice."
"If I'm not mistaken, the Chinese who completed the stronghold mission first only got excellent quality sacrifices."
"It seems that the level of the sacrifice should be affected by the evaluation of the completion of the task, and it has nothing to do with the time of completing the stronghold task sooner or later!"
Ji Ye said.
That's why he's thinking about it.
Because, on domestic forums, there are some experts who believe. The criteria for judging the Stronghold quest may be similar to that set out in some online game novels, where the first group to complete it will receive additional or even hidden rewards.
Therefore, call on domestic players to try their best to finish as soon as possible to grab places!
And for this, Ji Ye completely disagrees.
Since the task is given a ten-day deadline, it is theoretically a success as long as it is completed within the task time.
And it's not necessarily something to be praised for, because it's probably done through reckless risk-taking, rather than careful planning and implementation!
Now, since he still obtained a perfect level sacrifice, he naturally proved that the latter was right.
However, the attributes of this sacrifice also seem to reveal a certain information.
"Have you devoured some Terrans lately?"
Looking at the black snake in the ball of light, even if it was a shrunken illusion, it was still full of tyrannical and ferocious intent, Ji Ye's brows couldn't help but wrinkle.
He has been spying on the Black Snake for a long time lately, and has not found any humans nearby. In this case, the only explanation should be ......
Himeya turned her head and looked at the fog area about fifty meters away.
"Whoa!"
At this time, there was a sudden gust of wind and clouds between the high mountains, and the layer of fog that had been shrouded in the south side of the mountain peak was actually blown away by this strong wind.
"The fog has lifted!"
And in the scattered fog, first came the shouts of people.
When the fog cleared completely, a group of men in short clothes wearing shabby antique costumes were revealed, holding slightly rudimentary knives, guns, bows and arrows, and flaming torches.
"I saw it, the snake was there."
"Everyone rushed up to kill the demon snake and avenge the two cows."
These people, at first, looked at the fog that had suddenly dissipated with a little apprehension and surprise.
Then, when they noticed the black snake on the rocky ground, they all gritted their teeth and rushed towards this side with a scream!
"No, Demon Snake...... Looks like it's dead! ”
Because of the distance and the fact that the sun had completely set, it was already dark.
Therefore, when these people looked from a distance, they did not notice the strange appearance of the black snake, and only when they got closer did they realize that the black snake had died.
Moreover, there were several bronze crossbow arrows that were the thickness of a baby's arm, and the body around one of the silver crossbow arrows was even burned to the ground, the head was broken, and even the bones of the whole body seemed to have been sucked away, and the death was extremely miserable!
"It's dead...... Who killed it? ”
"Did the two dogs come up before us through the fog area? No, this is not our copycat arrow! ”
"Is it ......?"
Then, after a moment of confusion, two men turned and ran back with startled faces.
"Old Hu, the demon snake has been killed......"
Report to an old man who had just climbed the mountain, a little skinny, wearing a blue robe that didn't fit well, and was panting against the rock because of his lack of strength.
"What!"
After hearing this, the old man in the green shirt was obviously shocked.
didn't care about resting, panting and running to the side of the black snake, after seeing the black snake's death state clearly, his face turned slightly pale.
"It's really been killed...... Who did it? Could it be ......?"
"It's me!"
A voice rang out, but Himeya stood up from behind a rock behind the side of the group.
The "mantis invisibility suit" on the upper body has been taken off by him, although the dress still looks a little weird compared to these people.
"Who!"
Ji Ye's sudden appearance obviously startled these people, and the weapons they were holding in their hands involuntarily turned in his direction.
It wasn't until he saw clearly that his face belonged to a human before he breathed a sigh of relief.
"He said he killed the demon snake!"
"It's not our copycats."
"Such a weird outfit...... Wait a minute, this can't be the 'Chosen One' mentioned in the oracle! ”
However, after thinking about the meaning of his words, there was a commotion after a while, and all of them looked at Ji Ye with surprise and strangeness, and there was a lot of discussion in their mouths.
"Silent ......"
The old man in the green robe obviously had a certain authority in a pile of short clothes.
After he spoke, the voice of the discussion suddenly became much quieter, but he still stared at Ji Ye with his eyes one by one, with curiosity and some awe!
"Hero, did you really kill this demon snake?"
After drinking and stopping the rest of the people, the old man in the green shirt asked Ji Ye with a shocked and somewhat apprehensive face.
"Of course ......"
Ji Ye raised his hand, revealing the Brute Bull Heavy Crossbow in his hand that was the same color as the crossbow arrow on the black snake's body!
"Ah, he really did it!"
"In this way, he is the 'Chosen One', and he really killed the demon snake by himself."
"It turns out that the Chosen One looks the same as us, not three heads and six arms......"
Then, there was a commotion among the simple man in the short shirt opposite, but the weapons in his hands took the initiative to put down.
"Sure enough...... As long as you don't take the initiative to provoke, won't there be conflicts? ”
An inaudible word from Himeya's mouth.
The reason why he showed up, and he did not deny and cover up the reply.
Because, he already knew the identities of these people, the "aborigines" of the only Terran stronghold on this mountain.
In other words, the land of inheritance is based on human civilization, and thus evolves into an "NPC" belonging to the side of the earthlings!
The Coalition Government has announced the latest important information on the pinned post: these natives should already know about the arrival of the Chosen One, so players can successfully join it without clashing with it as long as they find a stronghold, and even take a bit of a chance because of their special status.
However, it's just a favor, and if you want to have power or more in the base, you need to fight for and manage it yourself.
Because, although these people are the land of inheritance evolved according to various ethnic civilizations, they are almost no different from the player, and they belong to the real life of this world.
Looking at this situation, it is obvious that this black snake should have eaten the person in the stronghold, so it was found on the mountain for revenge.
Now, Ji Ye has killed the Black Snake, and he will definitely be able to gain the favor of these "aborigines" to a large extent, and he will be able to get off to a good start after entering the stronghold!
As for why he ducked behind the rocks in the first place.
Because Ji Ye suddenly thought that he was wearing a "mantis invisibility cloak" that even covered his face, in the eyes of these ancient people, he was likely to be regarded as a monster.
When the time comes, the benefactor didn't think about it, and it would be a joke to be killed by an arrow first.
However, what happened next was completely beyond Himeya's expectations.
"Old decay Hu Feng, I've seen the owner of the village!"
And when he heard Ji Ye's reply, he clearly saw under the firelight that the crossbow arrow in Ji Ye's hand was comparable to the barbarian bull heavy crossbow used on the chariot.
The old man in the green shirt looked excited, and suddenly bowed down to Ji Ye, and shouted loudly.
