If he hadn't known that this was just an NPC, he was afraid that Ye Xiaofei would have been startled by the appearance of the old man when he raised his head just now.

The face is dry and sallow, the skin is wrinkled and shriveled, the lips are chapped and black, the eye sockets are sunken, the eyes appear a little protruding, and the eyes are cloudy and dull. It's like a dead man who has just crawled out of a coffin.

Ye Xiaofei calmed down a little, and then said respectfully: "Hello, I am an adventurer passing by here. Senior, do you live here alone? But is there anything you need the kid to help with? ”

"Adventurer? Scold... Cough... Hearing Ye Xiaofei's words, the old man couldn't help but raise his head slightly, glanced at Ye Xiaofei again with the rest of his eyes, and then couldn't help coughing lightly. And the laughter he let out was as dry and harsh as a night owl.

It seems that this old man is indeed a man who has been half-cut into the ground and is about to die.

"Adventurer, this is not the place for you to come, my half-dead old man advises you, it is better to get out of here as soon as possible..." The old man said in a deep and dry voice.

It sounds like an old man telling ghost stories to children.

From the time he saw this old man, Ye Xiaofei had already determined that he should be the target he was looking for, and when he heard his words at this moment, how could Ye Xiaofei really leave?

At that moment, Ye Xiaofei couldn't help but say indifferently: "Thank you for the reminder of the elders, but although the kid is young, he is also confident that he has some strength, and ordinary ghosts are not afraid... ”

After a slight pause, he continued to speak: "Listening to the elder's tone, it seems that there are some terrible monsters and demons around here? If the elders don't dislike it, maybe the kid can help you... ”

"Hehehehehe..." The old man leaned on the goalpost with one hand, hunched over his back, and let out a burst of hard and ugly laughter.

"Boy, you're pretty confident. I just don't know if you have that strength. If the strength is not enough, I am afraid that you will lose your life for this... The old man spoke slowly.

Hearing the tone of this NPC old man, Ye Xiaofei hurriedly hit the railway while it was hot: "Elder, don't worry, maybe compared to the ancestors on the mainland, the kid's strength is not very good now, but the kid is confident that few of his peers can beat me... If you have something unspeakable, just talk to the kid, and the boy will do his best to do it for you! ”

Hearing this, the old man couldn't help but look up at Ye Xiaofei, then shook his head slightly, sighed in a low voice, and said, "Since you are so confident, it doesn't hurt to talk to you about this matter... ”

Hearing the old man's relief, Ye Xiaofei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. This is a hidden quest, and not all players can come and receive it, so you have to pay attention when talking to this old man. Otherwise, I'm afraid that if you talk about it, he may not be able to hand it over to you.

"Here's the thing... The old man began to speak slowly, and his face seemed to fall into some kind of reminiscence...

“。。。 In this way, I finally defeated the demon guarding the 'Heart of Life', and got the 'Heart of Life' to come back and heal my dear wife 'Mary', however, at the cost of half of my life, I integrated the 'Heart of Life' into the body of 'Mary', expecting her to recover from her injuries, but suddenly found that the person in front of me was not my wife, but the 'evil banshee' in the 'Evil Forest' pretending to be my wife, and deceived the 'Heart of Life' that I had so hard won and... Half of the life force ... ”

Speaking of this, the old man's face was already angry, and his body trembled with anger, and you can imagine how much anger and resentment he had suppressed in his heart at the moment.

"Because the heart of life was deceived by the evil banshee, and later, my wife, my favorite 'Mary', she did not recover in the end, and in the end, I had to sacrifice my life again, seal my wife's soul and the last shred of life, and let her completely fall into an endless sleep...

Taking a deep breath, the old man forced himself to calm down the anger and hatred in his heart, and continued: "Young adventurer, would you be willing to go to the filthy 'evil forest' ahead to find the 'evil banshee' and retrieve the 'heart of life' for me... ”

"If you can really retrieve the 'Heart of Life' for me, then I will give you my most precious treasure...

Hearing the old man's last words, Ye Xiaofei couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief in his heart.

'I've finally succeeded in receiving this task, phew... ’

Listening to the task information prompted by the system, Ye Xiaofei chose to accept it without hesitation.

"Dear Elder, please rest assured, I will definitely find the 'Evil Banshee' and retrieve the 'Heart of Life' for you..." Ye Xiaofei said solemnly to the old man.

"I hope so... Obviously, the old man is not very optimistic about Ye Xiaofei, and in his opinion, handing over this task to Ye Xiaofei is just a mentality of giving it a try.

"But I have to warn you that the 'evil banshee' has the power to deceive in a way that is true to the truth, and it will not be so easy for you to find her true body... In addition, the strength of the 'evil banshee' itself is also very strong. This is a treasure that I treasure, and it can have a strong restraint effect on the 'evil banshee', so I'll lend it to you to deal with the banshee for the time being... ”

As he spoke, a pendant emitting a faint blue light suddenly appeared in the old man's hand.

Taking over the dark blue pendant from the NPC old man, Ye Xiaofei couldn't help but check its attributes curiously...

Blue Dream Quality: None;

Attributes: None;

Additional: Immunity to all psychic and psychic magic, skills and effects;

Occupation: None;

Grade: None;

Note: This equipment is a mission support item and is only valid for the corresponding mission.

After seeing the attributes of this pendant, Ye Xiaofei couldn't help but smile a little speechlessly.

However, from the attributes of this pendant, Ye Xiaofei also knew that the 'evil banshee' he was about to face should be a monster who was good at spiritual magic.

In Ye Xiaofei's memory, the player who completed this hidden task in his 'previous life' only mentioned this task in a general way, and did not say the specific situation of the task, so Ye Xiaofei didn't know how many levels the 'evil banshee' was, what skills or weaknesses he had.

Equip this pendant to the 'Accessory Slot', and each player can equip a necklace and two rings, as well as two other Accessory Slots to equip some other Accessory equipment.

"Young adventurer, the forest in front of you is the 'Evil Forest', the territory of the 'Evil Banshee', and there are many of her minions in it, although the strength of her minions is not very strong, but they should not be underestimated, and there are many of them. I hope you can find the 'evil banshee' and take back the 'heart of life' for me ... The NPC old man said slowly.

"Elder, don't worry, the kid will do his best to help you regain the 'Heart of Life'!"

Bidding farewell to the NPC old man, Ye Xiaofei looked at the verdant and tender green forest in front of him, took a deep breath, and resolutely stepped into it...

After walking into the forest, Ye Xiaofei seemed to have stepped into another world, surrounded by fresh and green trees, and every branch and leaf of these trees seemed to be crystal glass, flashing a faint halo under the bright sun. . .

Walking cautiously between the trees, Ye Xiaofei was fully guarded around, not daring to relax in the slightest.

There was silence in the woods, and apart from the occasional owl or two perched on the trunk, Ye Xiaofei did not find any other living creatures.

"This forest is really a little weird, and I don't know where the 'evil banshee' is hiding...

Ye Xiaofei's eyes swept around vigilantly, and he whispered to himself.

Under such a strange atmosphere, Ye Xiaofei's heart gradually became a little depressed.

At this moment, Ye Xiaofei suddenly saw a green grass dotted with many yellow flowers in front of him, a girl who looked to be about seven or eight years old was playing in the bright sunshine, and the grass was surrounded by a section of white low fences...

"Huh? How could a little girl suddenly appear here? Seeing the girl, Ye Xiaofei couldn't help but be stunned. Then he seemed to think of something, and his face became a little strange: "From the words of the old NPC man just now, it seems that the 'evil banshee' can transform into the appearance of other people, could this little girl be the 'evil banshee'?" ”

"No matter, let's go over and have a look first." Ye Xiaofei muttered to himself, and then resolutely walked towards the girl.

Ye Xiaofei slowly approached the green grass, watching the girl ravage a snow-white rabbit in her arms with her little fleshy hands in the sun, pinching the white rabbit's pointed ears a few times from time to time, and rubbing the snow-white fur from time to time, and bursting 'giggle' laughter in her mouth...

The yellow wildflowers around seemed to bloom with the girl's laughter, and the scene was like in a fairy tale, full of beauty and innocence.

Looking at the little girl's innocent smile, Ye Xiaofei couldn't help but feel a little ashamed of his previous guess, how could such an innocent and lively girl in a fairy tale be pretended to be the evil banshee?

However, after all, Ye Xiaofei has experienced countless ups and downs, and his 'previous life' is a man who has stood at the peak, and he has seen many characters of all shapes and shapes, and his heart is not as easy to be confused by some superficial things as some young people, so he is still very cautious about guarding the girl, and the dark sword in his hand is also tightened, and he carefully stepped into the grass, and slowly approached the girl...
