Chapter 51: The Root of the Curse
I am naturally happy to be able to let go of the output of my hands and feet.
The two buddies behind him were even more ecstatic.
I thought that today's task would have to be delayed for a day to be completed, but the current progress speed is not twice as fast as just now.
"Big guy! I'll pull three more! β
"I'm here too!"
"Well done, you two just step back and add a [Broken Army]."
These two people are very happy, under my output, as long as the wandering corpses are disabled, and then handed over to them to mend the knife, it is completely OK, for me to talk about better than no experience points, but they are so happy that they can't close their mouths, and the return of the 4th level of fighting monsters makes them unimaginable.
"Big guy, I've got enough of the task." After a while, the Overlord God of War shouted at me with a happy smile.
As if he was afraid that I would misunderstand, this guy hurriedly added: "I won't see profit and forgetfulness, and I will continue to blame the big guy!" β
"I can trust you, hurry up and go to the little Japanese monster."
"Big guy, don't call me Little Japan, okay? I just love anime, and my name is pronounced 'SAMA', which means 'adult'. β
The different title makes the Japanese name a little unpleasant.
I didn't mean anything else, though, just joking with him.
"Big guy, there's a little broken house in front!"
We who kept shifting places to farm monsters had unconsciously left the original place, and the overlord god of war, who ran to explore the way ahead, suddenly found a house behind a charred wood.
The location of this house is a little too secretive, the pitch-black house is exactly the same color as the charred black woods on the side, if it weren't for a few wandering corpses here to attract the overlord god of war, we would never be able to see it in the distance.
The woods were too obstructive to the view, and I cut off a large area directly with a [broken army], so that the dilapidated house behind it was completely presented to us.
"You two wait, I'll go in and have a look."
Motioning for the two of them to wait at the door, I took the Changhong sword and cautiously walked to the front of the room.
The house is not big, just an ordinary house, except that it has windows and doors, and it looks decent.
The room was charred black, but the door was not damaged, just tightly closed.
I tried to push it, but it didn't push away.
"Drink!"
With a loud roar, I kicked the door open.
Walking in, there were wandering corpses crawling on the ground inside, but they were already completely dead.
I looked left and right, and on a table next to me found a thick book with a cover, like a diary.
Somewhat curious, I reached out and picked it up and looked through it in my hand.
"Uhhh~"
But just as I picked up the diary, the wandering corpses lying down suddenly deceived the corpses, got up one after another, and rushed towards me with their teeth and claws.
"Big guy!"
The two people outside the door saw this and shouted at me anxiously.
There are at least seven or eight wandering corpses in this room, and the door has been tightly blocked, and it is impossible to get out.
But I'm not afraid of the high attributes, because of the position of each other, I only need to bear the damage of three wandering corpses at most, and no matter how many of them can't attack me.
A skill sound effect of [Breaking the Army] sounded at the door, and the two outside were pulling hatred and seducing some of the wandering corpses outside.
"No, you two can make sure they can't get out, I'll close the door and beat the dogs."
With honey confidence, I wielded the Changhong sword and slashed left and right.
β-109β
A jet-black slap slapped me in the face, and I was a little confused.
Like, it hurts a little!
Sensing that something was wrong, I hurriedly stepped back and leaned against the wall, checking the properties of these wandering corpses.
γGhost Lake Demon Corpseγ:
Level: 25
HPοΌ7100
Physical Attack: 450
Magic Attack: 0
Physical Defense: 290
Magical Defense: 300
Speed: 18
skill
[Poison Strike]: A strong body that causes them to deal more damage to the target and has a chance to trigger Poison.
I see, it turned out to be some slightly more powerful monsters.
Although these monsters are far from being able to compete with the overlords, for me, they are just the right level for me.
With these numbers, I can fully stretch my muscles and fight a bit.
Dodging the attack from the side, I frantically output towards a demon corpse in front of me, the long sword swung left and right, and the sharp blade cut a wound on the demon corpse, slashing its charred body skin open.
The amount of blood that goes down, you can pull up a part of it with [Forest Light], but the attack that already has some effect can't be completely avoided, and after hacking a demon corpse to death, I was a little reluctant to take out a blood medicine to supplement my state.
Outside, the two of them were struggling with a demon corpse, chirping at each other to share the damage.
"Break the army!"
The cooldown turned better, and an arc of light sword blade slashed in a half-circle, rippling through the small ruined house, and the successful critical hit made orange numbers float in front of my eyes.
In the face of monsters of the same level, the passive skill [Rigid Body] of the warrior system is simply a magic skill, and after calculating it before and after, the damage that this passive helped me reduce is already a very considerable number.
If you change to another profession, in such a situation, I am afraid that you have died several times.
After clearing the demon corpse in the house and swallowing my two bottles of blood medicine, I hurriedly rushed out of the house to meet the two silly boys.
β-68β
β-67β
The weapons in the hands of the two of them were like tickling, tickling back and forth on the demon corpse, but the demon corpse attacked with a backhand, directly slapping SAMA miserably.
"I can't do it! I can't bear it! β
"Poof!"
The Changhong Sword pierced through the heart of the demon corpse from behind, and the blow to the weak part caused me to cause 800+ damage to it, and the hatred that was successfully pulled over also made the two who were struggling to resist breathe a sigh of relief.
"Ding."
The corpse fell down after my thud as a crisp thud rang out beside it.
"It's shipped!"
Ignoring the surprise of the two of them, I bent down and picked it up and checked it in my hand, a level 21 bronze short sword.
"Big guy! Give it to me, my weapon is still black iron, and I just upgraded it just to bring it. β
Before I could say anything, the Overlord God of War hurriedly approached, his eyes full of longing.
"But ......"
The market price of bronze weapons is not very pleasant, and I am not short of money now, so it would be okay to give it to him for the sake of forming a team together.
It's just that SAMA on the side is still watching, and he blatantly gave it to the overlord, I'm afraid it will lose trust.
Seeing that I had no idea, the overlord thought for a moment, and stretched out three fingers: "3 silver coins." β
I looked at SAMA, who was about to speak in the distance, a little embarrassed, "SAMA, what do you think of the price?" β
IT CAN BE SEEN THAT SAMA ACTUALLY WANTS IT TOO, BUT HE HAS BEEN STANDING ASIDE AND SILENT.
Hearing my inquiry, he nodded slowly.
I patted the overlord on the shoulder and said, "Deal, go and give him the money." β
THE ANSWER MADE THE OVERLORD A LITTLE STUNNED, AND HE LOOKED AT SAMA AND THEN AT ME, AS IF HE HAD MISHEARD SOMETHING.
"The goods are shipped, the three of us have a share, and I don't need it anymore, so you two can take this thing and store it separately, if you take the goods, then SAMA should always have some financial compensation to be fair."
I don't know when I started to be a person, and I will selectively avoid many things that can be taken care of in exchange for trust.
I'm glad they understood what I meant, the overlord nodded, smiled and went over to give the money to SAMA, although SAMA shirked a few times, but he couldn't resist the overlord's hard stuffing.
"Big guy, you are really courageous, I will mess with you in the future!"
"I'm going to mess with the big guy too!"
The two of them expressed their determination to take care of themselves, but I had no intention of doing so.
"Just make friends, there's nothing to mix with or not with whom, feng shui still takes turns, what are the benefits of the two of you in the future, just think about me."
Although I have lost a lot of time to upgrade, I feel very fulfilled today.
Vanity and its satisfaction.
After the tedious stuff, I pulled out the diary I had just gotten out of my backpack to see if it had any potential value.
But there is nothing too useful in the thick diary, and I simply flip through it, and many of the times it is narrating daily life in the first person, which day I planted the land, which day I went out to sell goods, which day I met a beautiful girl, and which night there was a party in the village and town.
Turning over too many useless chapters, the last page of the diary, a few big blood-red characters were on it.
It's not so much writing as it is the blood of your fingers.
"I ...... It's uncomfortable! Painful ......"
As if calling for help, the blood stains scratched a long trail on the paper, giving people the feeling of desperate struggle written to the end.
On the previous page of the diary, it was recorded that one day they had dinner in the village, and everyone gathered around the lake to see the beautiful halo floating on the surface of the lake.
"Big guy! Something is wrong here! β
Closing the diary, the voice of the overlord came from the house where the battle had just begun.
SAMA AND I HURRIED TO GO.
The corpses in the house had been moved aside by the Overlord, and a handle on the floor was clearly visible.
"It's like a cover." SAMA SAID HER JUDGMENT.
"yes, I think so, too." Overlord rubbed his chin with his hand, pretending to be deep thoughtfully.
I squinted at him, "Why are you running back and moving these corpses?" β
The sudden inquiry made him a little flustered, he wandered his gaze left and right, and hesitated: "What are you doing...... come back and see if there is anyone who pretends to be dead, I will make up the knife......
It's the first time I've heard such a refreshing explanation.
Didn't you just see the equipment dropped outside, and you ran back to see if there was anything missing, so high-sounding.
Hypocrisy.
However, who would have thought that this little greed would have additional gains.
Pulling the handle open, a cover plate that barely made a gap in the ground was pulled up.
"Who!?"
In the hole under the cover, a frightened cry was suddenly heard.
This was a bit of a surprise to the three of us, could it be that there were already other players who had already taken the lead?
"Friend, we have no ill will, we just stumbled upon this place." I tried to talk back inside, trying to see who the other person was.
"You! Are you human? You're not one of those terrible demons? The voice on the other side was a little surprised, as if they had found something they had been waiting for for a long time.
The Overlord rolled his eyes, patted his head, and came up with a very likely idea.
"Maybe it's an NPC! Eighty percent is what the task is! β
At critical times, this guy is still somewhat useful.
SAMA CLEARED HER THROAT AND REPLIED IN A DEEP, MAGNETIC VOICE, "YES FRIEND, WE ARE HUMAN, NOT DEMONS, WE ARE HERE TO DESTROY DEMONS!" β
The sound is pretty good.
"Hehe", SAMA scratched his head a little embarrassed, "I like anime, so I often give voice actors to anime characters at some comic conventions." β
"Oh, I can't see it! It's also a voice actor.,Isn't it a cool profession?? β
Looking at the obscene smile of the overlord, I knew that this vulgar guy was taking things out of context again, and in his impression, the estimation with the word "excellent" had to be associated with characters in the other direction.
"Great! I'm finally looking forward to you! β
The voice inside was extremely excited, and it was as if it was about to cry.
Then we heard the sound of a hurried crawl and the sound of clods of earth falling from many walls.
Around the corner of the cavern, a jet-black face appeared in front of us.
"Mom, the demon corpse has become a spirit! I can also speak human words! The overlord closest to the entrance of the cave was frightened by the hideous face, and fell backwards.
I really didn't expect that there would be demon corpses in this cave!
I picked up the Changhong Sword in my hand, and gathered enough strength to prepare to pierce the head of this demon corpse.
"Don't! Don't do it! I am human! It's human! β
When the demon corpse saw our vigilant move, he was so frightened that he squatted down with his hands over his face, explaining in a panic.
Looking at his frightened reaction, we realized that this guy was not a demon corpse, or rather, he just looked like a demon corpse.
"You say you're human, why do you have such a terrible appearance?" I didn't put away the Changhong sword, but coldly questioned him, to see if he could give a reasonable answer, the heart of defense is indispensable, in case this thing is really a wise demon corpse, letting him out is equivalent to luring a wolf into the room.
"Woo woo woo woo ......" Hearing my question, the demon corpse actually cried bitterly.
"My name is McHan, and I was originally a villager in a village by the lake, and I have been living here in an ordinary way, but suddenly one day, a black beam of light suddenly appeared on the surface of the lake, and the beam of light shone through every corner of the village and town, and the people who were irradiated were cursed by the beam, and gradually became irrational, and became zombies who drank blood."
"I happened to be out at the time, and I was lucky enough to escape the beam of light, and when I came back, I found that many people in the village began to become abnormal, and within a day, the village was engulfed in zombies, and then it became a dead and silent place."
"When my family became zombies, I had nowhere to go, I could only hide in the hole under the floor and dare not go out, there were zombies everywhere outside, I thought I would die here alone, but I found that after the accumulation of contact, I actually began to be eroded by the curse, and slowly became what I am today."
"I know I'm going to die, but I beg a few adults to bring the news of my death to my daughter, I miss her so much, tell her that I love her so much......"
As he spoke, the man began to whimper uncontrollably, and his sadness was hard to tell.
"Come out, let's see if we can help you."
Hearing our friendly words, the half-ghost, half-human McHan slowly raised his head and slowly crawled out of the hole.
Unlike the ragged demon corpses outside, MacHan's clothes were shabby, but they were quite neat, except for the jet-black face on his face, most of his body was still the color of a human being.
"Isn't there a way to lift this curse? I think the three words 'I love you' that your daughter would like to hear are the ones you told her personally. β
SAMA is very sensible, and he has learned words of encouragement from the anime, and these words also moved McHan a little, his already scorched eyes turned back and forth, and he couldn't see the eyes, but the tears couldn't stop flowing.
"Are you really willing to help me?"
"Does the player Xingyu accept the mission: [Cursed Roots]."
When the quest prompt sounded, I looked at the two of them and got an affirmative answer.
"Yes."
γRoot of the Curseγ
Mission Description: Find the root of the curse, crack the curse, and save McChan.
Requirements: Collect [Diary of a Wanderer]*200.
"The task is accepted by the team, and you can get a copy of the task materials as much as you have." Looking at the task prompts in the team chat, I asked the two of them.
"16 copies"
"I have 24 copies here"
After taking their materials, plus the ones in my backpack, I was able to make up less than 80 copies.
"There is no time limit for the task, now that we have enough tasks, let's go back and hand in the transfer task first."
The two of them agreed to my suggestion, and the three of them returned to the city in a dazzling dazzle.
