Chapter Seventy-Two: The Alchemist's Wish
Just as I came to the north gate of Shaohui City and was about to leave the city, I found a middle-aged man nestled on the side of the street with the words 'alchemist' on his head, he looked around with a sad face, as if looking for help.
My heart moved, maybe there was a task, and I immediately walked over, anyway, if I don't take the task during this period, it's killing monsters, and taking the task is also killing monsters, so it's better to take the task, and there is a little reward.
As soon as he came to him, he could vaguely hear the middle-aged man muttering in a low voice: "Master, master, how are you......"
I was slightly puzzled, but the middle-aged man noticed me as a passerby, and immediately turned his gaze to me, and said, "Young man, are you a warrior who explores everywhere?" β
I nodded.
The middle-aged man saw me as if I was an oasis in the desert and said, "Great, you look reliable, can you help me get something done?" β
I was slightly stunned, did I really look that reliable?
I nodded again.
The middle-aged man immediately looked like he had finally found an aphrodisiac after many years of impotence, and said with a smile: "Here's the thing, my master is an alchemist, about three months ago, he suddenly proposed to go to the [Northern Desert] to find the forgotten ancient city back then, and find the materials needed for alchemy. This [Northern Desert] is already a famous 'human grave', it is said that the surface temperature in it is as high as more than 50 degrees, sandstorms are frequent, and it is a place where birds do not lay eggs. β
"Of course I persuaded him not to go, most of them can't come back after entering that kind of place, but the master has been contributing to alchemy all his life, and there is no force to stop him from traveling this time, so he finally took all the tools and equipment, and embarked on this road of no return alone."
"It's been three months, there is no news, and the food brought with me lasts for a maximum of ten days, and I have also commissioned some special personnel to go to the desert to do investigations, to see if I can see my master, even if it is just a corpse, so as not to worry about it all the time, but unfortunately the results are all uniform to disappoint me, they even said that they can't find the legendary forgotten ancient city in the desert......"
"My parents died when I was a child, and my master led me to grow up, he taught me alchemy, so that I could become an alchemist and be on my own, and now when it is my turn to honor him, I will be separated from him forever...... Warrior, please, if you pass through the [Northern Desert], help me find the whereabouts of my master, he is an old man of about 80 years, with a long white beard, wearing the same alchemist uniform as me, if he still survives, please say to him, 'Your apprentice has been waiting for you at home, come back quickly', if you find the bones...... Please bring this 'the other party gave me a utensil', help me bring back the master's bones, I want to bury him properly, but I firmly believe that the master is still alive, he... Will definitely come back alive! β
After speaking, the middle-aged man's eyes showed a sadness.
"Ding~!"
The system prompts: "Do you want to accept the [Alchemist's Wish] quest?" β
I clicked OK.
"Ding~!"
The system prompts: "You have accepted the [Alchemist's Wish] quest!" (Mission Level 50-60)"
Quest content: "Go to the [Northern Desert] to find the whereabouts of the client's master." β
β¦β¦
The mission level is as high as 60, which seems to be a big deal. After accepting the task, I rummaged through the package to see what exactly he had just given me.
γFlamethrowerγ
Type: Quest item
Description: A flamethrower made by alchemy, generally used to melt materials at high temperatures, and used as a cremation of the client's master in the mission, bringing the skeleton back to the client.
β¦β¦
I couldn't help but laugh, this flamethrow, my duck too, I knew to tell him, let him save this equipment.
Now that there is a task, there is also a goal, and he immediately walked out of the north gate of Shaohui City, and the picture flickered, and what caught his eye was a wasteland, and the place name displayed on his head: [Northern Territory Wasteland].
The noisy earth, a piece of earth yellow, messily distributed with cracks, like a broken walnut shell, I opened the map to check it, it obviously shows that the north of Shaohui City is a wasteland, and further north is a desert-like yellow, it is estimated that there is the middle-aged man's mouth of the [Northern Desert].
Seeing that not far away, a scorpion with a crimson body was wandering around, and a few level 40 players were fighting with the scorpion, but it was obviously a little powerless, and it took him half of the scorpion's blood to be removed for a long time, and he didn't know how many potions he had drunk.
I checked the information of these scorpions, and their strength is comparable to that of wild foxes, with toxin attacks, and they are not much of a threat to me, but my target is not these.
The names of those sporadic monster slashing players looked a little familiar, and I suddenly remembered that it was the first batch of ordinary players who entered the city in the blockade of Shaohui City that day, and it was estimated that they found me, and they must have been enthusiastic again, and the Venerable Master couldn't breathe in one go, although I was very happy to have their enthusiastic brothers, but it was not good to be too enthusiastic and delay time.
So I entered a stealth state, striding towards the north, passing through many players on the way, some in teams and some in solo practice, and the level did not exceed the limit of 42, which is estimated to be the highest limit among ordinary players.
There are many kinds of monsters in this wasteland, in addition to scorpions, there are also many monsters such as enhanced minotaurs, land walking fierce birds, etc., and their strength is slightly stronger than that of wild foxes.
In less than five minutes, I crossed a large area of wasteland, and on the border between the wasteland and the desert, I actually saw several squads of the Snakehead Gang, familiar faces did not exist, it was estimated that they were all a team of ten people composed of rookie members, and there were three teams at a glance.
More than a dozen berserkers of level 36 or so fought in groups, and after finally grinding a strengthened minotaur to death, they began to pour potions and chat.
These rookies have little sense of precaution, and it is impossible to detect the dim shadows of my stealth state of movement, and one of them seems to be the captain, and the highest rank is also him, level 39.
The captain threw all the money from the enhanced minotaur into his pocket, it is estimated that the inside of the Snakehead Gang is like this, the upper echelons are desperately pressing, and the Wrath of the Evil God can obtain such equipment today, it is completely by scraping from those rookie members, otherwise the Snakehead Gang would not have so many rookie frenzy who are still wearing blue or even white clothes, including the members of the three teams in front of me now.
The equipment of the three captains looks barely passable, judging from the luster, it is estimated that there are two or three green suits on the whole body, followed by blue suits, as for those team members, they must have been scraped by the captain every day, and the equipment on the whole body is dull and colorless, I really doubt that it is all white.
The captain scrapes the team members, the elders scrape the captain, the president scrapes the elders, I now have a thorough understanding of the internal structure of the Snakehead Gang, but as long as the members of the Snakehead Gang are not good birds, not to mention the low quality, and they also specialize in doing some disgusting things, which is really condemned by everyone.
Suddenly, one of the team members spoke: "It is said that in the blockade of Shaohui City that day, the proud army could not do the heavy rain and Zhantian, could it be said that the heavy rain and Zhantian have openly formed an alliance?" Even Shen Ao can't handle it, so what will we do in the future? β
The captain shouted: "Afraid of Mao, didn't you see a fiery post on the homepage of "Destiny" today, Shenao began to collect elite players on a large scale, obviously his own forces were threatened to do so, as for our Weiweiquan, we have always dealt with Shenao, if our snakehead gang and Shenao have formed an alliance, then it is estimated that the world is invincible." β
"That's right, the captain is really wise~!"
"Hahaha~!"
After listening to the words of the so-called captain, the team members all laughed wildly.
After a while, one of the team members said, "Do you remember the double sword kid who repeatedly spoiled our snakehead gang's good deeds, remember that it seems to be called a rainstorm or something......
The captain thought for a while and said arrogantly: "It seems to be called Rainstorm Jelly, that kind of nosy idiot will regret it sooner or later, he thinks that entering the rainstorm, and having the backing of Zhantian, it will be very remarkable, and when our snakehead gang becomes stronger, Lao Tzu will take someone to see him and kill him once." β
Just as they were talking wildly, I guess I didn't expect me to sneak around and listen to it really anyway, I wanted to pass by, even if it was more than one thing, but after listening to these words, it was really unbearable, and they didn't know how high the sky was and how thick it was.
To be honest, the rest of the team could almost ignore the thirty or so people, except for the three captains who could cause me a little damage, and I moved my direction and chose the direction with the most people in a straight line.
"Brake~!"
The black thousand birds and the white thousand birds suddenly appeared, and a swift wind broke through the enemies in the straight line like a skewer of mutton, and the damage number of "2465" appeared one after another, and eight people were killed on the spot.
It's a pity that none of these eight people is the captain, and the captain who spoke arrogantly just now was shocked and shouted angrily: "Damn, someone sneak attacked, who TMD ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, and actually dared to provoke the snakehead gang!" β
"Click~Click~!" Before I could finish speaking, I had already wielded my twin swords and killed the two rookie members next to me, and ten of them died almost instantly.
After the first round of assault, I raised the double sword in my hand and chuckled, "It's the nosy kid in your mouth." β
Seeing that one-third of his personnel were cleaned up at once, the captain suddenly turned pale, and said hatefully: "Damn, it's actually rainstorm jelly!" β
"Yes, it's me, didn't you just say you wanted to see me and kill me once?"
The captain suddenly jumped like thunder and yelled at the team members: "You are all rice buckets, hurry up and kill him!" β
Said that it was too late, and the rookie members around rushed up in a hurry, and after a round of attacks, my blood actually dropped by one-fifth, and I raised my hand to exchange blood for blood to fill up their health points that they had finally beaten down, and those rookies were dumbfounded.
The three captains winked at each other, then went berserk and rushed towards me. Of course, this brainless attack didn't work for me, and the greatsword was much slower than the one-handed sword, and one of the captains raised the greatsword to fall on my head, but I sent him back to the city with two swords before he could attack.
Then he used the duck's flame spray, and the tongue of fire spurted violently, burning another captain, after all, after entering the berserk state, the defense was as fragile as tissue paper, and even a pet attack could be easily killed.
The last captain of the remaining team did as he wished, slashed me in the back, and the berserk state directly cut off 865 points of my blood, almost half, which is really amazing.
However, there was no trace of joy on the captain's face, and with the fact that the berserk state could only cut less than half of my blood, he already knew how big the gap between our strength was.
A fierce tiger turned around, and the two sharp swords fell, only to see that his face was frightened, and he could only bend and turn into light and return to the city.
Twenty rookie frenzied and another round of attacks fell, several of them entered a berserk state, and several used skills to open the mountain, this time one round down to remove more than half of my blood, but after pouring a giant bottle of potion, it was still not life-threatening.
"Brake~!"
The cooldown time for Storm Break was up, so I broke out of the siege with one move, sending all the enemies in a straight line back to the city, and killing a bloody path.
A gust of wind blew, and I turned back half-sideways, and the remaining dozen rookies looked at me in horror as if they were looking at death.
My name has been in ashes, and the premise of "Destiny" is that killing thirty people will make me famous, but they have just thirty people here, so I said, "Get out of here, or do you want to deduct experience and let me send you back to the city?" β
The frenzied battle of more than a dozen snakehead gangs immediately did not say a word, knowing that the chance of winning was zero, and they used the return to the city roll to escape.
