Chapter 16: Ambush
Zhang Xiaotian shrunk his neck, and as a result, he saw the wooden man jumping down.
This guy is too bold!
Zhang Xiaotian hurriedly followed.
The wooden man had lit the torches, and the two looked around.
It's not big, it's even smaller than the top, but it's the same, there's a strange altar in the middle, but it's empty, and the difference is that there's a dark figure next to the altar, leaning against the edge of the altar.
The two of them were on full alert, one left and one right, and attacked from both sides.
The black shadow did not move at all, as if there was no breath of life at all.
The two walked past the altar, and in the flickering flames of the torches, they finally saw the true face of the black shadow.
It was an extremely pale corpse, with stitching marks all over its face, and one of its arms seemed to be the claw of an oschael.
The corpse appears to have been dead for a long time, but it is still lifelike.
Combined with the previous clues, Zhang Xiaotian concluded that this should be a puppet refined by the owner of the map with the Shadowless Assassin.
But how could the puppet be here?
The two continued to search for other clues, and finally found a few crooked words on a smooth wallβ
What is the essence of life, the body? Or the soul?
What does that mean?
The name of this quest is Paris's Eye, and the eyeball picked up in the upper cavern must be it, so this is probably Paris's retreat.
It's not hard to guess that it was Paris who brought the body of the Shadowless Assassin here, but why did she do it, isn't it against the owner of the mysterious map?
Also, the presence of the map suggests that the mysterious man apparently discovered Paris's location and drew the location on the back of the diary.
Could this be what caused Paris's transfer? But why not take the body of the Shadowless Assassin?
There are too many doubts, and Zhang Xiaotian has a little headache.
At this time, news came from the mercenary group channel. Yes, at noon, the guild has automatically become a mercenary group, and of course the name is still "House of Gods and Demons".
The two looked down at the message, and the message was drunk and sad.
"Pit Bo and the fox have been discovered, and Piao Yi and I will be there immediately, but it seems that the people of Hell and the Mayan tribe are gathering at the gate of Stormwind City, and it is said that they are going to the Hidden Mist Swamp to find a hidden mission."
At this time, another message also popped up, which was ethereal and ordinary.
"Something is wrong, you guys will leave when you get it!"
It's really wrong, Hell and the Mayan tribe have been secretly doing hidden missions, and with the efforts of the House of Gods and Demons, they have lost the initiative in the mission, could it be that they released the news in anger? Just for the sake of the fish dying and the net is broken, can't I get it and won't let you get it?
No! The presidents of the two guilds are not fools, and they will not do things that have no interests.
The two searched again and determined that there were no other clues, and immediately returned to the surface.
At this time, the tide of the ebb bay had almost receded, and I was drunk and sorrowful and stood on the shore for a long time.
"How?" A drunk thousand sorrows asked.
"As you go, let's go pick up those two goods first!" Elegant Mortal Dust Suggestion.
Zhang Xiaotian told the two of them the clues he had just gotten in the underground cave, and he was drunk and sad, obviously without a clue.
"Perhaps, we should go to the Hidden Misty Swamp and look for clues." Drifting Fan Chen said after a moment of silence.
"Why?" Zhang Xiaotian was puzzled, the big mulberry tree had been turned upside down, and even the tree hole had been dug up, did he still have to cut down the tree?
"Don't think too much about this task, just analyze it simply. Many questions are like this, and there will be various clues in front of you to mislead you, so that you will not pay attention to the most obvious and probable clues. Drifting Dust continued, explaining, "Following the map's guidance, we came to the underground cavern, the first layer of the cave is Paris's Eye of the Eye, which must be an important mission item, and the more hidden second layer has two messages, the corpse of the Shadowless Assassin, and the writing on the wall. It is difficult for the corpse to get other definite clues, and the text should be the point, the body or the soul, obviously this is the hint. The body was already here, but Paris was still nowhere to be found, and it was obvious that she had gone to find the soul of the Shadowless Assassin, and the soul of the Shadowless Assassin, of course, was in the Hidden Mist Swamp! β
"It's elegant!" A drunk and a thousand sorrows.
"Call me mortal!" Drifting mortal protests.
It's that simple! Zhang Xiaotian was dumbfounded when he heard this, what a logical genius, and now he really believes that this elegant mortal may be a genius scholar!
"Moreover, Paris is looking for the Shadowless Assassin in the Hidden Swamp, since it is a search, it is definitely not a place, so you should focus on the female NPCs around the Hidden Swamp, or the buildings."
"Wait a minute!" As soon as he was drunk, he screamed with sorrow, lowered his head and began to collect news.
"There it is!"
After a while, a drunken thousand sorrows brought the news, "There are a total of three NPCs in the Hidden Mist Swamp, two men and one woman, and the location of the female NPC is not far from the big mulberry tree!" β
"Wait, I'll look for the information of the female NPC again!"
"I found it, at the southern end of the big mulberry tree, on the edge of the mist-mist-swamp, there was a small thatched hut, and outside the house sat a young girl, named Lost Ann Li, who asked every person, 'Have you ever seen a ghost?' β
It's so strong! That's the power of money! Zhang Xiaotian was envious.
"The word Anli happens to be in the names of Andrew and Paris, it seems that this is the mystery!" Drifting mortal dust analyzed.
Finally, we are getting closer to the final mystery! The four of them are very excited, as long as they get the final reward, the hard work ahead is worth it!
"Full speed ahead, everybody! Don't let people get ahead of the curve! β
Everyone began to rush as fast as they could, regardless of physical exertion.
At this time, the distance between several people instantly widened.
The one who took the lead was of course Zhang Xiaotian, who had been promoted so many levels, and the full agility points made him more and more advantageous in speed.
Then there are the wooden people, needless to say, add points and equipment.
As a thief, he is not much faster than the fluttering mortal dust, all because he is a full attack plus point, always between seconds and seconds, and the game experience is exciting.
By the time the last ethereal mortal dust had not yet walked half of the bay, there was only a drunken sorrow left in his vision, andβ
A line.
As we get closer, the line becomes more colorful.
Terrans, orcs, elves, gnomes, and various professions, and their outfits are even more varied. It's the first time I've seen so many people in the game, and the other party seems to have been waiting for him.
"We're in an ambush!" Zhang Xiaotian rushed to the front, having already crossed this blockade line, "Although I successfully rushed over, there are still many pursuers behind, and there are enemies in front of me who are constantly rushing over!" Moreover, I seem to see Xiaoyao and Fox surrounded by each other. β
"I'm in a similar situation, dozens of players near the blockade line have surrounded me." The wooden people were also treated with great hospitality.
"I'm invisible, but there's a lot of anti-stealth equipment ahead, and I can't get by." It's a drunken and sad situation.
At this point, the six generals of the House of Gods and Demons completely fell into the enemy's ambush.
It's a bit tricky!
But Piao Yi Fanchen smiled slightly, and casually sent a message in the mercenary group.
"Then kill! Kill them all! β
The Drifting Mortal Assassin wanted to lick the sharp blade in his hand, but he was helpless, he was just a mage, and he only had a broken staff in his hand, and it was too cheap to lick a broken stick in battle.
