Chapter 163: Mammoth Grotto
The terrain is steep and full of strange rocks.
From time to time, a few dull roars made Xia Yu can't help but lift his spirits.
Xia Yu first came here, and the map showed the name: Mammoth Grotto.
Xia Yu looked around, except for some stones and trees, there was no sign of human habitation.
Without NPCs, there are no quests, and simple monster farming is very slow and boring.
Xia Yu doesn't believe in evil and continues to wander around here, one is to find a gathering place for monsters, and the other is to see if there are any NPCs.
Huangtian lived up to his wishes, and finally, let Xia Yu see an NPC.
It is said to be an NPC, that is, an old man with a hat and a wine gourd hanging from his waist, and his clothes are still tattered, and he looks very sloppy, like a beggar.
Xia Yu tries to talk to NPCs.
"Old man, what are you doing here?" Xia Yu stepped forward and asked.
The NPC old man looked nervous: "Who are you?" Is it the people of the Empire? Damn, I'm hiding so far away, won't they let me go, a bad old man? It's coming so fast! ”
Xia Yu was stunned, people from the empire? Could it be that this NPC is in opposition to the Empire?
At this time, you must not be stupid enough to admit that you are an adventurer in Seven Star City, Xia Yu said: "No, I am just a nobody wandering around, old man, you can rest assured ......"
The NPC nodded reassuringly, and then breathed a sigh of relief, "Old man, I hid everywhere just to prevent those officials of the empire who eat people and don't spit out bones from finding me...... Hey, think about the old man, I'm this age, I should enjoy my old age in peace...... My son...... Granddaughter...... I don't know if it's affected...... Hey......"
The more I listened, the more wrong it became. Xia Yu heard that there was a story in the NPC's words, so he continued to ask: "Then old man, what is the reason for you to hide and wander around...... Perhaps, I can help you......"
"Old man, I was an ordinary person in the mammoth town ahead, but I accidentally dug up a strange object in my old house...... It led to death...... I don't know who leaked the news, but the news of my treasure spread to every corner of the town...... The lord of the town was overjoyed when he saw Hunter, and ordered me to hand over the treasure to him within three days, otherwise I would ......," the NPC sighed.
"And what did you get? More important than life? Isn't there so much to do if you hand it over to him? Xia Yu suddenly said curiously.
"Do you think I want to? I've been cowardly old man all my life, when did I ever have such a backbone? I plan to pay tribute to the treasures, and I don't want to be knighted, at least I can exchange some silver, which is enough for my family to eat and drink for a while...... But since a few days ago, that thing suddenly took off from my arms and flew away...... Do you believe it? A dead thing, just flew away out of thin air......" the NPC said with a sad face.
Xia Yu was speechless, "It's so evil ......"
He has nothing to believe it, this is the game, the body is like a big mountain, the dragon himself has seen, what is the big deal that a mysterious thing can fly?
"That's how evil it is......" the NPC slapped his thigh, then added, "The thing flew away, and I realized I was going to be finished...... Maybe I'll be put in prison, I'm in a hurry...... I'll chase after you......"
The NPC said that he was dancing, and he looked like a beggar in the market, and Xia Yu couldn't help but laugh when he saw it.
"You're still laughing? ...... I'm going to die in a hurry, and you're still laughing? The NPC said with a sad face.
"What does it matter...... It's a big deal, just tell the owner of the town truthfully...... Let's just say that things are flying away......" Xia Yu thought to himself that this NPC was really smart, and talking to him by himself was like talking to a real person, which was also interesting!
"Do you believe that a dead thing will fly on its own?" The NPC said with wide eyes.
"I believe it......" Xia Yu nodded dryly.
"You can't have a brain, do you think the town lord has a brain like you?"
"! Your sister! Xia Yu was dumbfounded, this NPC would actually damage himself.
"I don't have a sister...... There is only one son and granddaughter, and the daughter-in-law died early, and when she gave birth to her granddaughter, she died in childbirth......"
Xia Yu: "......"
Xia Yu coughed a few times, and finally returned to the topic, "It means that the town lord doesn't believe it and wants to arrest you, so you fled here?" ”
"yes...... But this is only one aspect, and the other thing is that when the thing flew away, I was in a hurry, so I chased after it, and I chased here, but I didn't find any trace of that thing...... I think it's around here...... As long as I find it, I can't go back to my family......" said the NPC.
"Then did you find ......?" asked Xia Yu.
"Hey...... Good boy, why don't you have a bad brain...... If I find it, why am I staying here? ”
……
Xia Yu's eyelids jumped, and he suddenly wanted to knock this NPC bad old man to death with a cane......
"For the sake of the mission...... For the sake of the task...... For the mission ......"
After reciting it silently three times in his heart, Xia Yu finally calmed down and wanted to kill.
"I searched all the hills, old man, and I couldn't find the, but there was one place I didn't dare to go...... Perhaps, that thing is in there......"
Seeing that the NPC finally said something about the mission, Xia Yu lifted his spirits and asked, "Where is it?"
"It's a mountain stream behind the mountain, there is a cliff there, and there is a mysterious cave, the old man, I have inconvenient legs and feet, and I dare not go down, why don't you help me go down and see?" The NPC suddenly looked at Xia Yudao.
"Uh...... Okay......"
"System prompt: Do you want to take the quest: "Looking for the "Void Spirit"? ”
Xia Yu suddenly looked confused, Void Lingjie? What is that? Could it be that mysterious thing that the NPC said was about running away?
Still clicked to confirm, Xia Yu suddenly looked at the task introduction.
Mission: Find the "Void Spirit" (main story)
Difficulty: S
Unable to share.
Quest requirements: Go to the mysterious cave behind the Mammoth Grotto, find the "Void Reisuke", and bring it to the Lord of Seven Star City, after completing the quest, the system will give a very rich reward.
……
S-Rank main quest? Isn't it, Xia Yu was dumbfounded, ran around by himself, and casually ran into a bad old man, so he took on a main quest? It's S-class......
Is it in the cave, the monster level is high or the boss is too perverted, he is only level 33, can he fight?
You can't share tasks, so if you can, you can find some helpers, hey......
Xia Yu was helpless, but the task was accepted, and it was not his style to do it, so he had to grit his teeth and go to the location said by the NPC with his staff.
"Oops, there's sand and dust up there, could it be the town's army coming? No, I need to run...... Let's go to the Seven Star City to hide for a while, it's really not good, I just kneel at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion for three days and three nights, and let him be the master for Xiaomin......" The NPC old man suddenly said to himself, and then ran away and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
"Is this Nima leg inconvenience?" Xia Yu was speechless. "Obviously faster than a rabbit......"
