Chapter 167: Interrupted Mission
With his original skills, Zou Xuan finally defeated the three ghosts. Just looking at their disappearing corpses, Zou Xuan found that he seemed to have gained nothing but victory. And for what to fight? A big question mark flashed in Zou Xuan's mind.
The previous battle with the rookie brother who killed the rookie was at least a hero saving the United States. And this time? Zou Xuan didn't even know why these three people were spying on him, and why they were facing each other with swords.
"What's wrong?" Wei Xi saw Zou Xuan's confusion on the side, so he couldn't help but ask with concern.
Zou Xuan smiled bitterly. "Just wondering why I'm fighting."
Wei Xi squinted at Zou Xuan, slowly understanding Zou Xuan's mood, for a long time, she realized it.
"Actually, it's not for nothing, at least you have transcended the shackles, and you have comprehended the original skills!"
"That's a reason." Zou Xuan smiled and nodded, although he was still unhappy, he was not so depressed. "Forget it, the soldiers will cover the water and the earth. It doesn't matter what the origin of those three people is, leave it to Ye Yun to worry about it when the time comes! Zou Xuan still thought that the three ghosts were coming for Ye Yun.
"Who is Ye Yun?" Wei Xi couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Huh?" Zou Xuan frowned, thinking about how to introduce himself to Wei Xi, but he soon found that he didn't need to bother so much. "It's the guy you used to drool and shout at the handsome guy."
"Oh! Little handsome man, I must meet him in the future. ”
"He's a famous grass and a flower." Zou Xuan showed a look of disdain. Although Zou Xuan couldn't see Wei Xi, he could guess that she must be there again at this time.
"What are you afraid of, this girl destroys the flowers with her hands and breaks all the tender grass."
Bursts of cold sweat oozed from Zou Xuan's back......
"I won't mess with you, it's the right way to finish the task quickly."
Originally, there was not much left in the task, Zou Xuan walked to the wolves and stopped, summoning the skeleton warrior, and at the same time opened the mission prompt to see how much was left.
However, when Zou Xuan opened the task prompt, he was stunned.
The current task is interrupted.
"What's going on?"
Zou Xuan was puzzled and immediately took a closer look.
——
Mission: New weapons. Status Interrupted. Mission Description: Due to the attack of unknown people in the process of collecting wolf claws, the mission has changed, so report this matter to the mayor and listen to his opinion.
——
"Uh...... What's the situation? Zou Xuan scratched his head, looked at the wolves in front of him, and looked at the skeleton warrior who was smiling with a bone knife beside him.
After thinking for three seconds, Zou Xuan quickly made a decision.
"Back to the city!"
In this way, Zou Xuan returned to the ancient town again.
When the mayor saw Zou Xuan, he smiled very brightly. Looking at him like that, Bacheng has prepared some painful tasks.
"O warriors!" The mayor took Zou Xuan's hand, and rubbed his tears and snot on Zou Xuan's body.
"Hey, you ......" Zou Xuan wanted to remind the mayor to pay attention to quality, but how could the mayor be so shrewd and give Zou Xuan this opportunity.
It was up to the mayor to put his arms around Zou Xuan. "O strong man!" "I didn't expect you to complete this task so quickly, you ...... Alas, I don't even know how to praise you. ”
"Don't jump to conclusions, in fact, this mission has been interrupted." Zou Xuan looked very sad on his face, but he didn't know why, and he flashed a trace of happiness in his heart! Maybe it's revenge.
"Huh?" The mayor was stunned, and his hand around Zou Xuan stiffened. Looking at the mayor's expression at the moment, Zou Xuan couldn't help but want to laugh.
"...... Interrupted? "At this time, the mayor's voice had a strong tremor, and if bel canto was sung with this voice, it would definitely be the sound, and it would be a pity to use it here.
"Yes." Zou Xuan nodded, and then reported the original situation and the description of the task.
Looking at the mayor again, he had fallen into a long silence at this moment.
As time passed, the mayor's expression became more solemn. After a long time, the mayor began to emit a strong chill from the outside.
The mayor looked at Zou Xuan seriously and asked, "Are you sure you saw those three people here?" ”
Zou Xuan nodded, Zou Xuan is still very sure of this, because the special playback ability can help Zou Xuan not let go of any details.
"Someone!"
The mayor of the town gave an order, and Zou Xuan's whole body was shocked. I saw two heavily armed guards walk in through the door. The two guards were both unsmiling and serious faces, which added to the fear in Zou Xuan's heart.
"What are they going to do, they can't be trying to arrest me, are they?" Zou Xuan was thinking uneasily in his heart. His eyes began to focus on the mayor's ice-cube face.
The mayor frowned, but his eyes never fell on Zou Xuan.
"Inform the whole town that the alert level is raised to the highest level, and be ready for battle at any time."
Zou Xuan was really stunned after hearing it. I didn't expect that what I reported was linked to the battle.
But no matter what, the mayor didn't want to catch Zou Xuan!
"Mayor Mare, you ......"
Mayor Mare's hand waved. "Warrior, I suspect that we have a traitor here, and I am afraid that the hostile forces will attack again soon!"
When Zou Xuan first entered the town, he could already see that this town was full of traces of war. And the subsequent understanding also confirmed this point, but there is a question that has been haunting Zou Xuan's mind, that is, who is the enemy?
Zou Xuan asked the transport soldier before, and the other party intentionally or unintentionally prevaricated with other topics. Now this question broke out in front of Zou Xuan, and by this time, Zou Xuan couldn't ignore it!
"Mayor Mare, who is the enemy?"
The mayor looked at Zou Xuan, and he couldn't say it until the end.
"Mayor Mare, what the hell is so hard to talk about!"
Zou Xuan felt like he was going crazy!
Zou Xuan knew very well in his heart that maybe this was another plan by the mayor of the town to capture him. Keep whetting your appetite until you promise to help in the war, and he's telling the truth.
But at this moment, Zou Xuan has reached the point where he is willing to be fooled.
"Why don't I help ...... too?"
Before the word "war" could be spoken, the door of the house was rudely pushed open.
A guard panicked in from the outside and brought a startling piece of news.
"Retribution! A large number of enemies have been spotted outside the city, and they are expected to arrive soon! ”
Unexpectedly, the enemy came so quickly, and Zou Xuan had to admire the mayor's extraordinary judgment.
"You go down first!" The mayor of the town did not change his face and asked the guards to retreat, in fact, he was not surprised, but his face was already so cold that it could not be colder any longer.
The mayor looked at Zou Xuan. "Do you want to know who our enemy really is? Then come with me to the city walls and have a look! ”...
Zou Xuan followed the mayor to the outside of the house and walked towards the city gate. Now the ancient town of Ji is a different scene.
Everywhere you look on the streets are soldiers running around, either alone or in groups. But no matter what, they are running instead of walking, and there is a sense of urgency in the hurry.
Perhaps affected by the actions of the soldiers, the players in the ancient town also seemed a little anxious. Because the change in the town was almost instantaneous, no one could say exactly what was going on. This agitation affects everyone.
Regarding the current situation, Zou Xuan swallowed his saliva heavily. looked at the mayor on the side, but he was extremely calm. Zou Xuan found that the moment the mayor came out of the house, he was much calmer than before!
It looks like this mayor is really a character who has experienced a big scene!
Zou Xuan followed behind the mayor and walked quickly towards the city gate. And at this time, many players saw the mayor and spontaneously followed him. I'm afraid that there are no players in this town who don't know the mayor, so everyone understands that if you want to find out what is going on, you just need to follow the mayor all the time.
A group of people hurried to the top of the city wall, and the moment they climbed the wall, all the players were stunned.
The Gobi, which was originally endless, suddenly had many unknown objects shaking on the horizon. Piece by piece, group by group moving this way!
Because in the game, it's dusk, and against the backdrop of the setting sun, no one can see those objects clearly, and most of them are shrouded in shadows.
"What are those?" Zou Xuan couldn't help but ask.
"You'll find out soon." Without much explanation, the mayor began to direct the city's soldiers to prepare for the defense.
"Rumble ......"
A heavy sound rang out, and at the same time everyone felt the walls tremble slightly!
"Don't panic, it's just closing the gates!" A master chief tried his best to explain everything, hoping to relieve the panic in everyone's hearts! But how can he do it, what is really frightening is the unknown that is approaching in the distance, and all the challenges that may be faced next.
The huge city gate finally closed, and then the sound of "clicking" metal twisting sounded again, through understanding, Zou Xuan knew that it was the iron gate of the city gate to lower the metal.
By the time all this was done, the distant objects were much closer.
At least with Zou Xuan's eyesight, he can already see their general appearance clearly.
It was a group of long-haired humanoid monsters with pointed ears, long beaks, fangs, and sharp claws.
Some of these monsters run on their feet, while others run on all fours, like wild beasts.
Looking at their appearance, a word quickly flashed in Zou Xuan's mind: werewolf!
"Wolf...... Werewolf? Zou Xuan looked at the mayor who was busy on the side in confusion, and the mayor was stunned, obviously hearing what Zou Xuan had just said.
"It's a wolf spirit." The mayor corrected Zou Xuan's statement.
Zou Xuan quickly summoned the information and searched for it.
——
Wolf Spirit: One of the evolved creatures of the wolf family, evolved from the wild wolf. The wolf spirit possesses intelligence that is not inferior to that of humans, but in the end it is still unable to escape the influence of the wild. They are only matched by their own desires, and the wolf spirits are the most murderous race of the wolf race, and they will take the initiative to attack other races, especially humans!
Wolf spirits have the ability to command wild wolves, and usually, they are in the company of wild wolves!
——
Seeing this, Zou Xuan only felt that he was being watered from head to end by a basin of cold water. It was at this moment that Zou Xuan understood the true meaning of the task he had accepted before.
What wolf meat, what wolf skin, what wolf claws and wolf teeth, those are just pretenses, and the real purpose of the mission is to combat the number of wild wolves.
But why didn't the mayor say it directly, but used it to cover up the truth.
Zou Xuan thought for a moment and seemed to understand the mayor's behavior.
Just before, Zou Xuan himself was not at the time of victory, and at the same time he was at a loss. It seems that people have to find some excuses for themselves after all, and simple killing is unacceptable after all. Hence the reasons for wolf meat, wolf skin, and wolf claws.
"Ding!" A message came from the system. "The player has received a new mission."
At this time, there will be a new mission! Zou Xuan didn't even look at it, and he already knew what kind of task this would be. It must be about this war!
Open the task panel, and sure enough.
——
Mission: Defend the ancient town of G. The ancient town of G has been attacked by wolf spirits, please join this war and do your best to protect the ancient town of G.
Objective: Successfully defend the ancient town of G.
——
After Zou Xuan quickly read the task prompt, he looked at the players around him and found that they were also checking the task at the moment. It looks like this quest is a regional quest that triggers whenever players are in the area.
At this moment, many players have drawn their weapons one after another, and one by one they have begun to prepare for battle.
Seeing that everyone had already expressed their stance with practical actions, the mayor laughed heroically.
"Hey, it's up to you this time! War is definitely not a matter of one person, but a whole, but this whole is also made up of everyone. Although you are very powerful, you are not a professional soldier after all, and I don't have too many requirements, only two points: try to kill the enemy, and try to save your own life! ”
The wolf spirits were getting closer and closer, and everyone found that it was not only the wolf spirits, but also a large number of wild wolves in this army, and in fact, the number of wild wolves was dominant.
Zou Xuan looked at the group of wild wolves, from the outside, they were not fundamentally different from the ones they had killed before, but Zou Xuan saw them in his eyes, but he always felt that they were much more vicious than before!
The mayor's words answered Zou Xuan's confusion.
"Everyone be careful, these wild wolves have become much more ferocious than before under the leadership of the wolf spirits!"
The wolves are approaching......
"Archer, shoot!"
In an instant, the rain-down feathered arrows shot down from the city wall in an instant.
The vibration of the bowstring, the mournful roar of the feathered arrows breaking through the air. These voices intertwine as if composing a prelude to the beginning of the war.
'Whoosh ......'
Feathered arrows are constantly hitting enemy troops, whether they are wolves or wolf spirits, and they let out a painful wail when they are hit by feathered arrows during this high-speed movement. But such a blow could not shake their determination at all, and the wolf clan troops barely had any pause, and continued to come towards the ancient town of G.
Soon, the wolf troops running at the forefront had arrived under the city. ...
