The "important task" mentioned by the old village chief seemed to Duan Qing to be no different from the tasks just now, because the name of this task was "sacrifice", and the content was to transport several sacrifices to the top of Hulan Mountain, where they were located.

“…… That's it? ”

"Yes, yes, there's an altar there, you just need to put what we've prepared there......"

"Altar? Is there really an altar in that place? We've just come down from there...... Well, what is this sacrifice of yours for? ”

"Please, adventurers! Our whole village will thank you! ”

The old man who had been putting on a smiling face didn't seem to have any intention of revealing other details, but just nodded and pushed Duan Qing out of the village, and the smiling faces of other villagers from the village were also piled up with the packages handed over to him, revealing a strange feeling inside and out, and he hesitated for a long time, Duan Qing finally took all these task items into his pocket, and then walked towards the village again, while opening the letter from Tris that the village chief handed him before: "Forget it, It's a big deal to put this task first, I'm not obsessive-compulsive, the kind of ...... that won't leave until I finish the task."

His steps paused slightly, and then continued with the letters that kept spreading out in the wind and snow: "I'm sorry to contact you in this way, adventurer, but ......"

"If you see this letter, it means that you have taken over the task given to you by the village chief."

“…… Scold. The voice then rose upward, and Duan Qing let out a slight exclamation: "It seems to be getting more and more interesting." ”

"Dadel Village is one of several villages from Anderson's side, and they still have a lot of history and traditions, many of which deserve our respect, but also some of which reveal incomprehensible mysteries. I don't know what the commission before you really is, and I don't have much interest or time to study it, but even if you have enough time, I don't recommend that you prioritize this task. ”

"There's still so much to deal with around the Windflower Plains, and I don't want you to waste too much time...... and life. The sturdy font, which does not match the image of the magician, becomes clearer here, as if the writer has used great force: "As adventurers, I believe you will make a wise choice." ”

"The next stop in the plan is Han'an, where I will be waiting for you."

“……”

Slowly taking the letter back into his arms, Duan Qing stood in place and was silent for a while, but finally opened his package and looked at the "sacrifices" that were full of white bones: "Do you want to go?" ”

“…… What are you doing? ”

A cold female voice then echoed in Duan Qing's ears, accompanied by the figure belonging to Xue Lingphantom Ice who came out of the woods: "These ...... And what is it? ”

"Some quest items I just got, no big deal." Duan Qing shook his head indifferently, and at the same time replied indifferently: "If there is no problem, we will continue with the previous ......"

"What kind of quests will use these things as props and materials?" Before Duan Qing could finish speaking, Xue Lingphantom Ice, who was gasping slightly, withdrew his gaze looking at the package: "It seems that there are still those bones you just took back, right?" ”

"According to the village chief, it was a sacrifice for sacrifice." So Duan Qing spread his hands helplessly: "Although in the end, he didn't make it clear what this so-called sacrifice was for......

“…… Is this our next goal? ”

His eyes lit up slightly, and Xue Lingphantom Bing pulled up his long hair, which had become scattered due to the long swing of the sword: "When will you leave?" ”

"Don't worry, I haven't made up my mind yet." Duan Qing reluctantly put away his package: "Or ...... Do you have any good comments and suggestions? ”

“…… Judging by the look on your face, it doesn't seem like an easy task. Xue Ling's eyes stayed on Duan Qing's expression for a while: "Is there something wrong here?" ”

"Looks like you're feeling superior...... It's not just about swordsmanship. ”

Yu raised his head in the wind and snow, and Duan Qing looked at the slope of the mountain next to him, pointing diagonally upward: "Exploring the unknown is the virtue of adventurers, but the current situation is quite special, so ......"

"This multiple-choice question is actually not very easy to do."

The cold wind mixed with wind and snow continued to pass through the white ground, and finally flew to an unknown distance again with the flying snowflakes, and the figures belonging to Duan Qing and Snow Spirit Phantom Ice also appeared on the top of Hulan Mountain in turn, and the snow that did not stop for several days brought great difficulties to mountaineering, and the snow that was enough to be meters deep often evolved into a deadly trap, but with the powerful attributes and equipment that the game characters have, The two of them managed to climb to the place they had been brought by Freya.

Of course, this place is also the farthest distance they can reach in their current exploration records, and they still don't have a clue about the existence of the so-called Hulan Mountain Peak and Tingslin.

"Didn't you say you wouldn't come to complete this task?"

"This is called Shunlu, do you understand Shunlu? It's not like we didn't go to Han'an Village, but who would have guessed that there was such a similar mission there......"

"These villages here have strange names...... Did they all come from the Anderson Independent State? ”

"You know that Anderson thing, too? I heard that it is a place where ethnic minorities live, and there are all kinds of strange people and strange things, and it is jaw-dropping......"

Panting and putting down the large package behind his back, Duan Qing moved his sore body, and while confirming that the clear shadowed parts of his adventurer's map had not yet been explored, he sighed loudly at the wind and snow: "Considering the perverted level of the old thief Christo and his studio, I won't be surprised that there are any witchcraft and strange ghosts in this game, even things like trains can suddenly appear, and there may be more supernatural phenomena such as the arrival of gods in the future......"

"It's even stranger that there are no gods in a fantasy world." Xue Ling, who was following him, replied lightly, "Maybe after we finish this task, we can meet gods and the like......"

"There is only one god who appears in the free world at the moment, and that is the god of fate." Duan Qing shook his head slowly: "If you can summon her, then it will be called the number one news in the free world." ”

“…… I'd love to see the more powerful enemies of this world. Xue Lingphantom Bing pulled the hood on his head: "Without actual combat drills, those things that were practiced before have no effect at all......

"Hey, if you're looking for an opponent, you'll find a suitable one." Duan Qing immediately turned around and reminded, "It's not like I haven't told you about the previous situation...... Don't get along with yourself. ”

"Ever since I was coached by you, I've been honing myself with stronger opponents." Xue Lingphantom Ice lowered her head indifferently: "Didn't we do the same when we were in Freedom City before?" ”

“…… Well, you like to let the system send you home for free, and I don't object to it. Duan Qing sighed and replied, "Anyway, there will probably be no accidents on this mission, and the so-called gods are just our own imagination......"

"And what exactly are we climbing up for?"

"Of course it's cleared."

In the sky infinitely close to the clouds, the two people who were temporarily speechless looked at each other for a while, and Duan Qing, who was dragging up the heavy package, then showed a meaningless expression and started the previous exploration journey again: "Although they are all doing tasks, you can't keep dragging so many bones all over the place, right?" It's a free world, and we don't have any four-dimensional backpacks......"

“……”

"Why, why are you looking at me like this?"

“…… You're going in the wrong direction. ”

The black dots representing the two men swirled back and forth on the white mountain tops for a while, and finally found their target again after a period of discussion, and the falling snow then completely covered the trail they had just passed, and once again the scene around them turned completely indistinguishable white. Struggling to discern their surroundings, the two men walked and stopped and crossed the ridges between the snowy peaks, and as the two men talked less and less, the sound of the wind and snow around them began to gradually occupy their hearings.

"The next mountain should be it."

Climbing over a seemingly towering mountain again, Duan Qing whispered to the woman behind him, and I don't know if it was the first time that Xue Lingphantom Bing, who had heard this sentence for the first time, seemed to have lost interest in answering, and just looked at the other party silently with silent eyes. Looking up at the sky that was becoming extremely dark, Duan Qing, who had stopped, also began to show a sad face, he looked around at the snow white that still stretched to the end, and finally sighed: "Forget it, we can't find that ghost place today, let's find a cave where we can rest first, and then make do with a night's rest......"

He turned his head, but what he saw was a surprised look that belonged to Xue Lingphantom Ice, and Duan Qing, who was facing these eyes, then also noticed that something was wrong, and the body carrying the package on his back suddenly turned to the side: "What......"

Bang!

A loud crash then sounded in front of him, accompanied by a certain giant shadow swept over the top of the mountain and echoed in the wind and snow, and the woman who was in front of Duan Qing in a hurry then flew out towards the bottom of the snow slope like a boat that was hit by a huge wave, and the giant shadow that suddenly appeared from the wind and snow then grabbed two long marks at the original location of Duan Qing and the two, and the body that was not afraid of the cold wind then returned to the sky, and the crisp hissing sound was followed by Duan Qing's figure that rushed out together, Rolling down the side of the slope: "I said don't be strong......"

"I'm so active in seeking death, but I'm the one who is unlucky in the end."

Hugging the package on his body, Duan Qing quickly slid to the side of the snow spirit phantom ice that was still rolling down, and then reached out and grabbed each other's bodies at the moment when the two figures missed, and hugged each other's bodies cleanly, and the violent wind then sent out from the giant shadow above the snow slope, blowing all the avalanche signs that were about to form here to the far side of the hillside, and the huge snowball that wrapped Duan Qing and the two people also rose into the air with the sky-covering wings stretched out by the giant shadow, and finally fell heavily on the rock on the edge of a certain cliff.

"Chirp—"

The loud birdsong then cut through the snowy night that was about to end again, and swayed again with the hovering of the giant shadow, and the bird-like creature from where it circled around this snowy peak a few times, and then gradually pulled the proud low song to the distance of the sky, and observed for a while in the snowstorm that had regained calm, Duan Qing, who was half buried in the snowdrift, then blinked his eyes, and finally exhaled with a little relief, and at the same time pushed the cold snow-white armor out of his arms: "It's dangerous, it's dangerous, it's dangerous, It's almost chicken feed...... Ouch! ”

“…… I'm sorry. ”

Retracted the slap he subconsciously swung, Xue Lingbing whispered, but the body that wanted to pull away forgot the shackles of the snow that was also half buried, and almost fell into Duan Qing's arms again, and the two entangled figures then struggled in the snowdrift on the edge of the cliff for a long time, and finally got out of the dangerous area, but the speechless atmosphere that was completely different from before was dispersed in the endless wind and snow again with the silence of the two people: "That ......"

"You, are you alright?"

“…… Well. ”

"Anyway, it's okay, remember next time...... Belch...... What kind of creature was that? ”

“……”

As if sensing the embarrassment in the other party's state of mind, Duan Qing, who was covering half of his face, laughed a few times, and then suddenly turned his eyes to the side, pointing in the direction that the creature was far away from just now: "...... Hey? ”

"Look."

Like glass that had been cleaned by a huge rag, a huge hole appeared in the sky that was originally covered by the white of wind and snow, and a touch of emerald green that did not belong to this winter scene at all then appeared behind the hollow, and appeared in the eyes of Duan Qing and the two people in the form of trees erected on the top of the mountain, through the distance, they were connected into a lush forest surrounded by snow-capped mountains and dim sky, and then countless birds and beasts that should belong to a forest neighed, Faintly back into the ears of the two players.

“…… What is this called? ”

Retracting his mouth that had opened wide because of surprise, Duan Qing glanced at the snow spirit phantom ice beside him, and while pulling out the package in the snow next to him, he pointed to the hollow that was about to disappear into the wind and snow again: "If you don't die in a big disaster, there will be a blessing in the future?" ”

“…… Let's go. ”

Suppressing the excitement in his eyes, Xue Ling's Phantom Ice voice replied dryly.
