Chapter 4: Keep Rising!

"Wait, I almost forgot the mission."

Xi Mu paused, turned around and took the blue Nether Flame that had fallen to the ground, hesitated slightly, and tried to lean towards the center of his eyebrows.

Unexpectedly, a greedy desire came from the center of his eyebrows, and the white flame that existed in his skull immediately swallowed the blue Nether Flame, and a burst of pleasure suddenly came to his mind.

"Ding! Congratulations to the player for devouring the Blue Flame Nether Fire, with sufficient soul power, and being promoted to the Blue Flame Skeleton, please keep up the good work, the mission completion degree [1\/4], and get the stage experience reward. ”

Killing skeletons doesn't seem to give you experience, but the quest rewards make the experience bar rise a lot, and it's only a few steps away from level 1.

Done a quarter so quickly? That mysterious hidden profession isn't at your fingertips?

Xi Mu became a little excited, picked up the big bone stick and continued to explore forward, at this time he was promoted to the Blue Flame Skeleton, his attributes have increased slightly, but his figure has become more human-like.

Soon, a blue flame skeleton appeared in front of him again, and without waiting for him to react, Xi Mu took a wild hammer and succeeded again.

I tried to absorb the blue Nether Flame again, but this time the feeling was far less intense than the last time, and the attribute was also illusory for a while, but in the end it did not rise.

"Yes, it was a cross-level absorption before, so the effect is obvious, and the soul power provided by the same level of absorbing the Nether Flame is far less than that of cross-level absorption. Isn't this SSS-level quest going to ask me to keep absorbing Nether Flames and be promoted to a top-tier skeleton within 24 hours? ”

"Could it be that ... Mysterious hidden class rewards or an ugly big skeleton to die for? The difference is that the color of the Nether Flame has changed? ”

When Xi Mu thought about it, his face turned slightly green.

But it's useless to think too much at the moment, completing the task is the only way out, otherwise when the time comes, there will be a dead end, he believes in the power of the curse on his body, and all attempts to resist its power will be futile, so Xi Mu entered this game to try to crack it.

His gaze searched for a moment, and suddenly locked on another swampy forest in the distance, where the skeletons were obviously smaller and more agile, and most importantly of all, their skulls were yellow flames.

"Come, it is your honor to be the nourishment of death."

With the desire to be promoted as soon as possible, Xi Mu smiled lightly and quickly approached, as if a hunter was looking at his prey.

Ten minutes later, however.

A figure with a large bone club in his hand ran back in a daze, and only a trace of blood remained on his head.

"The setting of this mission is also too weird, the second-level Yellow Fire Skeleton is actually an elite monster? The attribute is still so high? ”

Xi Mu's face was twitching, a little embarrassed.

The elite monster deserves to be second only to the boss, and he almost didn't hang him up and beat him, but fortunately escaped its hatred range.

After a while, Xi Mu regained his composure, and just dragged the big bone stick in the direction he came, where the Blue Fire Skeletons gathered.

If you let those twelve guys with flowers on their faces know about this, I'm afraid they will have to laugh secretly for ten years, and the dragon head of the dignified ghost pupil was actually slapped in the face by a level 2 elite monster?

No, that thing must be slaughtered as soon as possible!

As soon as this thought came to mind, a subtle blood red immediately appeared in Xi Mu's pupils that even he had never noticed, and he began to frantically slaughter the blue flame skeletons in the dark swamp.

A trace of health rose as the Nether Flame absorbed.

Ordinary people may think it is ridiculous when they see it, thinking that this little thing does not need to be taken to heart.

But if he let his twelve poker players know about this, he will certainly not be surprised, because this "Azrael", the "Grim Reaper", whose leader has been deeply feared by governments around the world, has always been a complete eccentric who will be retribution.

Those enemies who had provoked him, even the "Colonel K" who had made them all dead and desperate, without exception, all died at the hands of the one in front of them.

However, they all understand that after all, those guys who stand at the top of human strength will always have some quirks.

For example, the former "Colonel K",

is like the oriental youth in front of him.

...

Two hours passed.

Slain more than one hundred and twenty Blue Flame Skeletons lurking in the swamp.

"Ding! Congratulations to the player for absorbing the Blue Nether Flame, filling the soul power, and being promoted to the Yellow Flame Skeleton"

"Ding! Quest completion progress [2\/4], stage experience rewards have arrived! ”

The feeling of pleasure came, his whole body was comfortable, and two golden rays of light came at the same time, and his level was directly promoted from two levels to the second level, plus the promotion effect, Xi Mu's skeleton appearance was smaller again, but the color became darker and darker, and more and more solid.

...

"Ding! Congratulations to the players for absorbing the Yellow Nether Flame and absorbing a large amount of soul power! ”

"The old problem is committed again, and I am always emotionally unstable when I am slightly offended, and it is a big taboo for killers."

A stick smashed the corpse of the Yellow Flame Skeleton, Xi Mu sighed slightly and shook his head, as if he had cleared up a little because of this.

The blood red under his eyes quietly faded.

...

continued to kill the Yellow Flame Skeleton, but the attributes of this group of second-level elite monsters were already much higher than those of the second-level him, and with his strong skills, he could only barely deal with them.

It took six hours, and more than a hundred elite monsters were ambushed.

Elite monsters are scarce in the outside world and have a lot of experience, and if these skeletons could provide experience, they would have been promoted to level five or above.

"Ding, congratulations to the player for absorbing the Yellow Nether Flame and absorbing a large amount of soul power!"

"Ding, congratulations on the player's promotion to Golden Flame Skull!"

"Ding, the progress of the task completion [3\/4], the stage experience reward has arrived!"

A wave of experience came again, and he was promoted to level 3 as he wished.

Originally, his big skull skeleton had become about the same size as an ordinary person at this time, about one meter eighty-five, and even a little flesh and blood appeared on the bones, which looked very terrifying.

But it made him happy.

"Isn't the apex of skeleton evolution pure skeletons?"

Glancing at his profession at this time, the Golden Flame Skeleton, Xi Mu's heart became a little lively.

There were fifteen or so hours left, and without thinking about it, he looked ahead.

One swamp forest after another has come to an end, it is a dark mountain in the black fog, and the mountain road winds as if there is no end.

"Actually, even if it's a skeleton, it's quite worthy of the title of Death."

Xi Mu suddenly smiled, and looked down at the creature tattoo on the skeleton of the skeleton, you forced me here to let me get this hidden profession, what is your purpose?

...

Going deeper and deeper, after walking for a long time, a golden flame skeleton appeared, sitting in place, Xi Mu did not move, and observed for a while.

Soon, he discovered that the Golden Flame Skeleton was completely different from the bone slag of the Yellow Flame and Blue Flame before, this difference was not only the body, but also the consciousness.

Consciousness, yes, it is thoughtful!

"Destiny can even create minds with random mobs? How much computation does that require? No, I always feel that something is wrong. ”

Xi Mu shook his head in shock.

It's not uncommon to have intelligent NPCs in virtual games that can think independently, but those NPCs are of public value, and it is impossible to set mobs as intelligent at will, because such a huge amount of computing is not yet able to be borne by human technology.

But the facts were in front of him, and he couldn't deny it, not to mention that "Destiny" was obviously not a game from the beginning, otherwise it wouldn't have been associated with that curse.

After observing for a long time, the Golden Flame Skeleton did not move much.

Taking a deep breath, Xi Mu lifted the big bone stick and cautiously stepped forward to take the lead.

“-23!”

This blow failed to trigger a weakness attack.

“-34!”

“...”

The battle lasted for a long time, and Xi Mu realized that he had actually ignored the attributes of this monster, although it was still only an elite monster, its blood volume and defense were terrifyingly high, and its speed was not comparable to that of the Yellow Flame Skeleton.

It took a full half an hour for him to slay the Golden Flame Skeleton and absorb the Nether Flame.

Time is running out, each step takes longer and longer, Xi Mu's heart sank slightly, and he could only seize the time to immediately move forward and continue to challenge the Golden Flame Skeleton.

Two..

...

Four-headed...

...

Eight-headed...

...

A full ten Golden Flame Skeletons took him five hours of time, and they also brought an extremely large amount of soul power.

The winding mountain road comes to an end, and this is the top of the dark mountain.

"Ding! Congratulations to players for gaining enough soul power to be promoted to Black Flame Skull! ”

The majestic soul power seemed to be sublimated at the moment when the system sounded, and at the same time, his skeletal body was also transforming.

The streamlined dark black muscles covered the whole body in an instant, and at a glance, it made people feel dormant with explosive power, and it was simply a body that countless men had dreamed of, but it lacked skin.

Before he could be happy, another piece of news poured cold into his heart.

"Ding! Quest completion progress [3.99\/4], great warrior, you have proven your strength, and the final trial of the Forsaken Protoss is about to begin. ”

"Challenge: Rakshasa Protoss, Lord-level Boss!"

"Countdown 3, 2.."

WTF...
