Chapter 11: The Mystery Box
"Mom, Mom, don't go, I'm so scared." The little girl cried out.
"My child, my dear little sand, stay here and you'll be fine." Mother reluctantly squeezed out a smile and comforted.
There was a terrifying tearing sound outside, "Grab those children, kill the others." β
Fighting, killing, screaming, fear.
"Mommy don't die, don't die." The girl curled up in a wooden barrel covered with sand and watched through the cracks as her mother was killed by the "demons".
The dying mother squeezed out her last words, "Don't speak, hide in the sand, you'll be fine......"
Suddenly, there was a loud explosion outside.
"What's that?" A demon asked in alarm.
"He's protecting the bugs, killing him." Another answer.
As soon as the words fell, countless missiles struck.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! β
Coke, scorched earth, ruins.
"Come out, kid, you're all right." It was a vague golden figure, he said to the little girl who had just lost her mother.
"Mom, I want Mommy." The little girl cried out sadly.
"She's dead, come with me!" Jin Ren picked up the little girl and walked towards the dust after the explosion.
β¦β¦
"What is this?" Ye Lan asked.
"The story, the source of the events of this mission." Tianxue replied.
"I don't understand."
"Once upon a time, this was a desert inhabited by a group of indigenous people. One day, fear befell here, and the demons from the other world killed and plundered, snatched their children, killed their people, and plunged the originally peaceful village into purgatory. β
Speaking of this, she paused for a moment, and her originally expressionless cheeks were filled with a little sadness, as if this story touched the deep sore spot in her heart.
"And then?" Ye Lan asked.
"Later, he appeared, he drove away the fear, destroyed the demons, and saved which child."
"Who is he?" Looking at the blurry hologram, you can't see what it looks like at all.
"The owner of this temple ......," she said at this point, she suddenly stopped again, and then denied what she had just said, "No, it should be said that it is the owner of this ancient tomb." β
Tumulus?
"Are we robbing tombs?" Ye Lan suddenly had such an idea.
Tianxue couldn't deny Ye Lan's idea, although it was just a game, but this kind of thing was really unacceptable.
After the image is broken, the metal ball returns to its original state, and at the same time, an opening opens, protruding a black metal box the size of a palm, with a three-eyed cat face on the top of the box.
"What's the mission?" Tianxue asked.
Ye Lan opened the message and read it out, "Collect the information fragments, fill the savings box with energy, and return to the temple again to play the next fragments." β
After speaking, he looked at the box with a suddenness, which should be the energy box with a hint.
Just as he was about to reach out to take it, Tianxue warned, "Our actions are blaspheming the dead." β
Maybe it is, but Ye Lan doesn't care, "What are you talking about, we are creating wealth, if you don't want to share the reward, I won't force it." β
Although Tianxue said this, in the face of the trend of interests, how could he not agree.
Ye Lan put away the box and was about to leave.
Suddenly, the light on the ground converged at one point and slowly became three-dimensional, forming a civet that emitted a blue light.
Three-Eyed Greycat Phantom, Level 8, Elite. The virtual stand-in of the three-eyed civet has 100% of all the attributes of the three-eyed civet.
The main goal of the special mission.
"A level 8 elite monster with 800 HP and 50 Attack Power. Comes with a passive and an active skill. Tianxue on the side reminded Ye Lan.
Ye Lan was not ambiguous, and attacked directly.
At this time, Ye Lan is level 7 and has 6 skills that players of the same level cannot have.
His level 5 skills, just like the system told him, are automatically learned, and even the initial skills are automatically upgraded as the level increases.
Neutralizing Form, [Light and Shadow], has a chance to blind enemies in daylight when activated, and goes invisible in the dark, consuming mana when activated.
The Night Form, [Exorcism], is used on the target of death, which can be resurrected and enslaved, inheriting 50% of its attributes until death. (can only have one enslaved pet at a time) releashes the enslaved corpse, killing it and absorbing 50% of its strength and agility.
Day Form, [SΓ©ance], drains the soul of the dead target, converts it into a shield of 50% of the target's health, and shares it with all nearby teammates, and the shield lasts until the end of the battle.
Light and shadow, this special two-sided skill, depends on the way it is used, such as the environment, where Ye Lan is now, it belongs to the dim night environment, when he uses light and shadow, his body escapes into the shadows.
Stealth is also an advanced skill of the Assassin, and the degree of invisibility is several levels higher than stealth.
The three-eyed civet cat, who was originally confronting, was a little overwhelmed when he suddenly lost his target, and before he could react, a 30-point damage appeared on his head.
The level 7 Ye Lan can deal 30 damage against the level 8 elite monsters, which makes him very satisfied.
However, he was only lucky, and with the added skill of stealth, he was able to go around the back of the three-eyed civet cat and use a backstab attack.
Many ordinary players will think that backstabbing attacks are a unique damage method for assassins, but in fact, all characters have this damage mechanic, but the damage multiplier is completely different.
The assassin is 100% harm, but the priest is only 10%, which is quite inconspicuous, and the priest's damage is already low, so it is almost ignored.
Characters backstab with decreasing damage, Assassins> Warriors> Hunters> Mages> Knights> Priests.
Moreover, the triggering of the backstab is extremely difficult, and it is only effective if you attack from behind without being detected by the enemy. The only way to go undetected is the stealth and stealth of the assassins.
Now that Ye Lan has stealth skills, coupled with his understanding of the mechanism of damage, this three-eyed civet phantom was killed by a sneak attack without even discovering Ye Lan's location.
Sneak attacks are not a good fight, but they are one of the most efficient and safe ways to fight.
With the death of the three-eyed civet ghost, Ye Lan did not receive any rewards, not even experience.
Fortunately, he didn't spend too much effort, and it wasn't worth complaining about.
At this time, the energy storage box in his backpack suddenly flew out, emitting an extracted light energy from a small opening, sucking the soul of the civet cat into the box, and returning to Ye Lan's hand after completion.
Tianxue walked over, "Show me the box." β
Ye Lan was a little stunned, so she could only hand the box to her.
Tianxue stared at the box for a while and said, "I absorbed 1, and there are still 9 missing." β
"Worse than nine? You mean we still need to kill 9 three-eyed civets? Ye Lan asked.
"Hmm." Tianxue nodded.
9 level 8 elite monsters, it's not difficult to say, but if it's someone else, either form a team of more than 5 people, or dare to go to a single brush after level 10.
"Let's go, the big army hasn't reached the center of the forest yet." Snow tips.
Monsters are indeed not difficult to kill, but when the player level comes up and starts to shoot monsters, they may not be found.
"Wait a minute." Ye Lan said that he walked up to the corpse of the Phantom of the Spirit Cat, transformed into a night form, and used [Expulsion] on the corpse.
With an infusion of black energy, the dead three-eyed civet phantom stood up again.
Level 8 elite monsters, even if they only have half of the attributes, are stronger than ordinary level 8 monsters, at present, elite monsters are hard to find, and Ye Lan naturally will not let them go.
He decided to use it for the time being until he found a better monster corpse.
After the three-eyed civet cat was completely resurrected, the light of the phantom on his body disappeared, revealing his true face.
Ye Lan glanced at it, and felt disgusted.
Sure enough, it was an exorcism, this corpse was almost decomposed, and even some flesh and blood blurred places could see the bones inside, and it seemed that there was a smell of corpse festering.
Fortunately, Ye Lan is also a person who has seen big scenes, and in previous games, he has also entered the realm of mutants, which is a special copy that will make people sick for a month once he enters.
"Skills?" Tianxue asked with some disgust.
"Not bad, though it's only fifty percent of the attributes." Ye Lan didn't feel Tianxue's disgust at all, and wanted to show off her new "pet".
"It's okay, let's get out of here first." She didn't want to be with this disgusting thing, and hurried to the exit.
