The arrow struck the shield with a wisp of fire.

The ripples exploded, and a wave of heat instantly invaded Xiao Li's body. Wind Shield can absorb physical damage, but there is no way to take elemental damage.

Health -87!

It's actually a special arrow with fire damage, isn't the cost of killing yourself a level 20 mage a little higher?

Without hesitation, he dismounted, and rolled around on the ground the moment the next arrow arrived.

Arrows grazed the scalp.

Xiao Li rolled and crawled, running towards the small slope next to him, and then, another arrow hit the waist.

The impact of the arrow knocked Xiao Li forward, and with this force, he quickly ducked behind a tree.

The attack in this lightning flint made Xiao Li's life hanging by a thread, and he knew that the arrow that could be launched from this angle was definitely not an NPC bandit......

Combat stats open instantly.

"An unknown player unleashed an ambush arrow on you, with a shield negating 364 damage and dealing 87 fire damage."

This damage was excessive, if he hadn't opened the shield earlier, this arrow would have been able to send him directly to the Reincarnation Hall.

Unknown player means he's still an old coin of a killer organization!

The Killer Organization is an organization established by the Sand Scorpions in the Forgotten Desert that players can join through quests. The advantage is that you will not reveal your identity when attacking, and the disadvantage is that you will not be able to receive the blessings of the Light. Generally speaking, only Assassins and Archers with strong solo farming and life-saving abilities will consider joining and become killers who walk in the night.

The Forgotten Desert is a level 40 area, and now someone has run over it?

"Brother, it's too much!"

Xiao Li shouted at the mountain behind the mist, and at the same time turned the spell tome to the page of the wind shield technique.

The opposite mountain was silent for a few seconds, and a voice that was obviously suppressed came out: "Are you a player?" ”

"Nonsense!"

"I'm sorry, you can go over." apologized very perfunctorily, and there was no more sound on the other side.

Although she called herself over, this girl—Xiao Li knew that she was a woman who deliberately suppressed her voice—meant that she seemed to recognize the wrong person. Or rather, her goal is not the player.

So who does she want to squat? Do tasks?

And even if she called Xiao Li to go over, Xiao Li wouldn't dare......

The Wind Shield Technique still has nearly two minutes to recover, and if this woman deceives herself, she will get GG if she eats an arrow herself.

After flicking a cigarette, Xiao Li hid behind a tree and smoked while waiting for the Wind Shield to cool down.

The eyesight on the other side was obviously much better than Xiao Li's, and seeing that Xiao Li didn't come out for a long time, he couldn't help but sneer and said, "You are such a timid man?" ”

"Sister, it's not that my brother is timid, it's really that you hurt too much." Xiao Li spat out a smoke ring, and whispered a spell to summon the wind wolf: "If I can't find you, I'll have to eat the extra damage of the ambush, and you can kill me with one move." ”

Seeing that Xiao Li heard his gender, the archer no longer deliberately concealed it, and snorted: "Love can't go." ”

Xiao Li patted the wind wolf's forehead and motioned for it to search to the right rear: "Speaking of which, sister, who are you squatting here?" ”

"It's none of your business."

"Why is it none of my business...... As soon as you hear I'm a player, you stop immediately, which means you're crouching an NPC. There was a tiger merchant a while ago, did you kill it? ”

"It's not."

"Then who are you squatting?"

"Long-winded...... Oh, that's smart. ”

Sensing the message from the wind wolf, Xiao Li spit out the cigarette butt, reawakened the wind shield, and then turned out of the tree trunk.

In the conversation just now, the wind wolf had already discovered the girl's hiding place with his perception - she actually hid in the tree, hiding herself tightly through the leaves and mist.

The wind wolf crouching under a tree indicates that it has no desire to attack.

"People's hearts are not ancient, and it is always good to be cautious."

Summoning the wind wolf and riding the radish, Xiao Li walked back into the fog. This archer girl should have the task of the killer organization, otherwise she won't have any eggs to hurt, what is it to hide here and squat NPC.

Since people have a task and apologize fakely, there is no need to worry about it anymore.

The valley is quiet again.

But after not taking a few steps, Xiao Li suddenly stopped.

A guess popped up in my mind for some reason.

Since the teleportation to Blackwater City was opened, this mountain path has hardly been visited by players. And even if it's an NPC, only a trader like a tiger man will go.

Besides...... It's just the hippopotamus that lives on the watchtower.

After a few steps back to the first place, Xiao Li shouted at the tree: "Sister, is your mission target a hippopotamus?" ”

The girl obviously didn't expect Xiao Li to come back, and said for a moment: "Who is the hippopotamus?" ”

"That'...... Is it a halfling mage? ”

The girl was stunned again: "...... How do you know? ”

“……”

Xiao Li took a breath softly! Who did the old man hippo recruit and provoke whom? How could they be designated as mission targets by those bastards of the Sand Scorpions!

You know, the hippopotamus is a master of inscriptions! And it's also a mage's title assessor! This kind of NPC has an invincible aura in any game and is immune to attacks.

Seeing Xiao Li's silence, the girl couldn't help but be curious: "Do you know this NPC?" When will he show up? ”

"Girl, I advise you to give up this task. Scorpions stay in the neutral zone and tear apart without meeting the player, but they're not good birds! And if you do kill the hippopotamus, I promise you'll become a mage enemy! ”

was scolded by Xiao Li's head and face, and the girl was obviously unconvinced: "Blow you!" Also the mage public enemy. ”

"Blow?" Xiao Li sneered: "Hippo is the title evaluator of junior mages and the master of inscriptions. ”

The girl suddenly stopped talking - as a player, of course she knew what it meant to be a title evaluator, and even more so what it meant to be an inscription master.

But she was still unconvinced: "So what? Just wait for the refresh. ”

"Refresh? I advise you to take a look at the forums, the NPCs of the second dimension will not be refreshed after they die, and they will be gone when they die. Not killing NPCs is now everyone's consensus - are you hiding somewhere without an internet connection? ”

After speaking, Xiao Li stopped talking nonsense, turned over and left.

In his past and present lives, old friends in two lifetimes, Xiao Li has a lot of respect for the old man. He also thought that when the expansion of the academy was completed, he would fool the old man to the academy and ask him to help him engrave the inscription!

But the scorpion man dared to send a mission to kill him! How can this be endured?

took out a small notebook and made a note for the sand scorpion man, Xiao Li quickly jumped out of the mountain road and ran in the direction of due north. After passing the Tigermen's trading post, they had a meal, fed their horses, and after a short rest, continued along the avenue, finally arriving at Icewind Dale just before sunset.

Icewind Dale is already close to Winterfell, a frozen city perched on an ice cliff that will serve as a gateway to the Underworld Valley once the player embarks on a rebuild mission. According to the historical background of the system, Winterfell is the front line of the southern tribes uniting against the invasion of the demons of hell.

Icewind Dale is the logistics base camp of the Hundred Clans Alliance, which is stockpiled with all kinds of supplies from the rear.

However, at this time, Icewind Dale has been reduced to a ruin, quietly waiting for the player to open it.

Icewind Dale is a huge valley with huge stone walls standing on both sides, narrowing the entrance to the valley to a width of only one zhang.

Facing the wind, Xiao Li walked into the stone wall.

Not far ahead, near a dead tree, several horses are hiding in shelter from the wind to keep warm, and not far away, five players are struggling to attack a snow troll.

This...... These people are fools, don't you know that snow trolls can get around?
