"I can't continue to wait here, if I continue like this, the trees in this forest will be eaten by those ghosts......"

"Captain, didn't you send someone back to deliver the message and ask the city lord to add more men to us? It's been two or three days, and I can run back and forth many times back and forth back and forth in Seven Star City, why hasn't anyone come yet......"

"I don't know, those ghosts are getting more and more active during this time, even if we are here to watch, even if we double the number of people, they will still eat the maple trees unscrupulously......"

"If I say it, I'll gnaw it, such a big dark forest, can it still be gnawed? Besides, those ghosts are so cruel and not afraid of people, so it won't work for us to stay here like this......"

……

After Xia Yu and He Xiaoyi heard a few words of NPC conversation, Xia Yu couldn't help but smile and said, "There must be a mission......

"I can hear it too~"

When Xia Yu and He Xiaoyi approached those NPC soldiers, they immediately grabbed the weapons on the ground, stood up with a bang, pointed at Xia Yu and He Xiaoyi, and said loudly: "What people!"

"We are adventurers from Seven Star City, and we just heard that a few of them seem to need help......," Xia Yu said.

Several NPC soldiers saw the city badge on Xia Yu and He Xiaoyi's shoulders, so they nodded, "It turned out to be an adventurer from Seven Star City, please forgive me for offending...... You're right, we do need help here......"

"Oh, what do you need us to help you with......" Xia Yu continued to ask.

The NPC soldier thought for a moment, and before he could speak, another NPC next to him interrupted: "Captain! Even if these two adventurers are willing to help us, we can't do anything with those things...... There are tens of thousands of those ghosts, and they can't be killed......"

Xia Yu was stunned, "Tens of thousands? What the hell is ......?"

Half a minute passed, and several NPC soldiers discussed for a while, and then one of them lit up with his eyes and said, "No, I know how to do it...... Adventurer, can you help me? ”

"You say, you're willing to serve." Xia Yu replied.

"To the south of the dark maple forest, there is a plant that grows, they are called snake scorpion fruits, and those fruits are highly poisonous, and they are good things for those ghosts...... In this case, you go to the south and help us collect a thousand snake and scorpion fruits, do you think it's okay? ”

"System prompt: Do you want to take the "Collect Snake Scorpion Fruit" task? ”

Determined to take the task, Xia Yu directly took He Xiaoyi to the south direction that the NPC said.

Along the way, Xia Yu took the time to look at the mission introduction.

Mission: Collect snake and scorpion fruits

Difficulty: Grade B

Requirements: Femme Fatale (0/1000)

……

"Why is there a B ...... in the difficulty of a task of collecting materials?" He Xiaoyi wondered.

"You think that the materials are where you collect them, and you don't have to do anything else, right...... As an alchemist, I have encountered a lot of tasks like this to collect materials, and I dare to conclude that these snake and scorpion fruits must be guarded by monsters...... If you want to collect, you have to kill the monster first, hehe, you don't know this, right? Xia Yu said to He Xiaoyi with a smile while hurrying.

"Oh......" He Xiaoyi nodded.

……

Soon, Xia Yu and He Xiaoyi arrived at the place that the NPC said, the south of the Dark Maple Forest.

Compared to the desolate scene where NPCs set up their military tents, this place is much more vibrant...... The trees are lush and reach into the sky.

"Where is the fruit to be gathered?" He Xiaoyi looked around and asked.

"Look for ......"

The speed slowed down a lot, Xia Yu and He Xiaoyi walked, but a cliff appeared in front of them.

"It's so beautiful......," He Xiaoyi exclaimed, "and ...... waterfalls."

Xia Yu pouted, "In the game, if you pay attention carefully, you will find that many places are beautiful...... Let's find the mission materials......"

After speaking, Xia Yu looked at the time, it was almost five o'clock.

"There, I found ......," He Xiaoyi shouted, pointing to a cliff.

Xia Yu looked at her hand, and sure enough, in the cracks in the stones on the cliff, there was a very beautiful and colorful plant, with green leaves, but the top fruit was blood-red, as if it was about to drip blood.

"Growing on the cliff, how are we going to get over......" He Xiaoyi muttered.

"Go down slowly, be careful, these protruding stones should be able to stand people, I'll try it first~" Xia Yu said, and then slowly climbed down.

He Xiaoyi looked a little afraid of heights, clenched her fists and looked at Xia Yu, she didn't dare to climb.

"It's okay, Xiaoyi, come down, this is in the game, it's just a big deal to hang up a level...... Xia Yu had already climbed next to the gorgeous fruit and shouted at He Xiaoyi.

But suddenly, a strip-shaped object squirted something unknown at Xia Yu.

“－211……”

“－211……”

"Battle Tip: You have been attacked by the Venom of the Stone Serpent, taking 1% of your Max Health per second."

The system prompted that he had been attacked, and Xia Yu saw that the snake and scorpion fruit beside him had a poisonous snake of the same color as the surrounding stones coiled at the root.

Xia Yu has a little more than 4,000 qi and blood, and 1% of the maximum health is more than 400, fortunately, Xia Yu has a spiritual barrier, so Xia Yu is reducing the amount of blue by 211 every second.

Xia Yu had no choice but to hold on to the rocks protruding from the cliff with one hand, and with the other hand waved the staff of sunset, attacking the stone snakes with the spirit of water - spirit waves.

Another mouthful of venom sprayed over, and Xia Yu was just about to turn sideways, but suddenly, he broke out in a cold sweat.

With such a move, he almost broke free and fell off the cliff.

"I'm going, and I'm not allowed to dodge yet? can only be tough, hey, it's annoying......" Xia Yu was speechless, so he could only throw a spiritual wave again and smash it at the stone snake.

Fortunately, Xia Yu lost almost ten spiritual waves, and those stone snakes lost half of their qi and blood.

Xia Yu estimated that its qi and blood should only be fifteen or sixty thousand, very brittle!

After resisting the stone snake for more than a dozen mouthfuls of venom again, Xia Yu smashed out a spiritual wave and finally killed the stone snake.

With a bang, the stone snake's body exploded, and then more than a dozen gold coins scattered in the air, followed by ...... All fell off the cliff......

"Hey, hey, hey......" Xia Yu was speechless for a moment, "What the hell is the setting, the money has fallen off the cliff, who dares to pick up ......"

"Haha, this is simply torturing you......" Behind Xia Yu, He Xiaoyi carefully held on to the stones, laughing, "I can't pick up the gold coins when I explode, haha......"

Xia Yu: "......"

Xia Yu was so depressed that he didn't want to speak, so he directly reached out and grabbed the snake and scorpion fruit beside him.

A 10-second progress bar appears.

"System Prompt: You have obtained Femme Fatale X19."

In the bottom box of the package, there is a red fruit icon directly, which looks like hawthorn, and the number is displayed as 19.
