400. There are demons in the river
After choosing to turn on the special effect 2 'Soul of the Ancestors' of the Five Elements Yin and Yang Disk, the Night Stalker arrives in front of the iron door of the prepared space and chooses to join the game.
The picture went dark......
Then, the first sound of a melodious flute and the sound of waves crashing against the planks was heard.
A background narration emerges in an exhortatory tone:
"Entering the red dust is also a practice, you should be more pure-minded, hold the yuan and keep one, not be bewitched by demons, and save the people of Li from fire and water."
"Remember, there is nothing in the world that is beyond the five elements......"
"Go down, go!"
……
The screen lights up, and the night stalker enters the perspective of God who rotates and overlooks.
The scene of this script is surprisingly large, and you can't see the edge at a glance.
All you can see is rolling green hills, and a river stretches zigzag to the horizon.
Looking down was the great river, on which several ferries preached through the calm lake and approached a modest wharf not far away, beside a small village.
As far as the eye can see, about a few kilometers away from the fishing village of the pier, you can also see a majestic city looming in the early morning mist......
"The ancient style is strong...... Well, it's a new scene that doesn't make much of an impression. ”
Nightfall is a game with thousands of unique worlds, and even if the Night Stalker is a veteran of the game for many years, there will still be many scenes that have never been experienced.
"Combined with that verbal entrustment-like background narration, the theme of this script scene is likely to be 'Oriental Fantasy'."
This kind of theme is like the killer's Psionic Touch ability, which always involves some bizarre and quirky things, and these things are not easy to control in the game.
"It's a Taoist priest?!"
Although he had vaguely read from the narration that he might play the role of an immortal cultivator, when the bird's-eye view of God ended, the night stalker was still amazed by his outfit.
He saw that he was wearing a blue robe, black and white Shifang shoes on his feet, and in his right hand he was holding a banner with the words 'Look at the Fortune Counting', and he was holding a five-element yin-yang plate that had shrunk to the size of a bowl on his left and right.
What the hell is this dress? Fortune teller?
The Taoist priest character is standing on the bow of a ferry at this time, and the night owl is slightly leaning out of the boat, and his face is reflected in the turquoise lake below.
He wears a square scarf on his head, his eyes are slender, his face is white, and he has a long beard that is standard for a virtuous person.
"It doesn't look old, and it shouldn't be too old."
While thinking so, the night owl cut out the attribute interface.
Name: Mo asked
Age: 286 years old. (Revision...... Those who cultivate the Tao really can't be disguised)
Current identity: Xiaocheng monk of Shangqing Sect, currently in the process of going down the mountain to experience the red dust and travel in all directions......
Exclusive abilities: Imperial Sword Fighting, Daomen Fists and Feet.
Resist the sword: Harness your magic weapon 'Purple Crow' and make it attack demons from a distance.
Daomen fists and feet: Your attainments in fists and feet are extraordinary.
……
Let's see what treasures the Taoist has on his body;
【Five Elements Yin and Yang Plate】
[Quality: Legendary]
【Type:Magic Weapon】
[Special Effect 1: Sharp Gold, let your magic weapon 'Purple Crow' come with the aura of Sharp Gold when attacking demons.] 】
[Effect 2: The activation conditions have not been met.] 】
[Effect 3: The activation conditions have not been met.] 】
[Effect 4: The activation conditions are not met.] 】
[Effect 5: The activation conditions are not met.] 】
[Remarks: 'There is no need for many wonderful methods, the southern needle must be sharpened, don't ask the Sanqi Sect, and subdue the demons in the world.' ’】
"It's actually become a legendary quality, this thing really has a lot of origins!"
The greatly changed Five Elements Yin and Yang Plate made the Night Stalker look forward to the full form of this trap item.
【Purple Crow】
【Quality: Excellent】
【Type:Ritual Weapon】
[Special effect: Flying sword, use the sword to control this wooden sword, and attack demons from a distance.] 】
[Note: A peachwood sword that matches your spiritual sense.] 】
This wooden sword with a strange purple and black color was carried behind the Dao Chief, only a meter long, and Mo Wendao had the same heart, as long as he focused his attention on the wooden sword a little, he could immediately feel the standby meaning of 'attack at any time' transmitted from the wooden sword.
There are only these two kinds of equipment with attributes, as for the banner in Mo Daochang's hand and the Dao robe on his body, they are all ordinary quality and useless decorations.
"As a cultivator, you are poor like this?"
According to normal logic, no matter how poor you are, you must at least have a space-type prop that can hold items, right? Or a ring, or a bag or something.
Alas, forget it, at least the combat skills are clearly displayed - this Mo Daochang is still a cool sword cultivator!
Belch...... I can't even fly with Edgeworth, and I have to cross the river by boat, so I guess my strength isn't very good, right? Can you beat a youkai?
The Night Stalker expressed suspicion.
Further down there are the kill lists and the main quest.
The kill list is still the same as the script setting, with all 4 targets in an unknown state, and it's up to the killer player to find out their identities.
The main quest is: to destroy the 4 monsters entrenched in Qinghe County.
"Taoist demon extermination? Has the killer become a righteous man? ”
I have to admire the brains of the scene designer.
……
Just as the night owl finished checking his own attributes and other content, the ferry he was on also happened to slowly dock.
When the night owl stepped onto the dock, a description of the location appeared in front of his eyes - 'fishing village'.
"Is it troublesome to give this village another two-word name? In addition, the display of place names is also a relatively rare setting in the game. ”
Usually when the player arrives in a new environment, the system will not give a hint of the location, and the player will either make up a name for the location brain by himself, or learn about it from some scene props.
The name of the place is displayed, indicating that the name or place may be used in the game's storytelling.
"So, what information can be gathered in this fishing village related to the main quest?"
The night owl glanced at the fishing village in front of him, the houses here were all low thatched houses, and they looked poor and backward, but the bustling docks made the place not look depressed.
Since it is a fishing village, the residents here are naturally mostly fishermen, most of the people parked on the wharf are small wooden fishing boats, wafting a strong fishy smell, there are a lot of fishing nets drying on the shore, and the fishermen who have come back from catching fish are picking buckets of fresh fish to the shore, and the wharf is a compact and busy scene......
As the rest of the ferries docked, the passengers on board, dressed in ancient robes, lined up to walk up to the pier, and the passengers who were waiting at the pier to cross the river began to walk onto the ferry.
The night owl noticed that there was a simple tea house on the side of the road not far from the dock, which was a typical place in ancient times to spread news and inquire about news.
"Have you heard? The third son of the village chief's family was eaten by the monsters in the river! ”
As soon as he entered the tea house, the night owl heard a strong news, he swept his eyes around the tea house, and noticed that the speaker was a middle-aged man with dark skin wearing a hat, and he looked worried, and the two listeners around him showed a look of suspicion.
"Pure nonsense, how can there be monsters in this river."
"That's it, it's not that the little third son was entangled in a fishing net and drowned in the river."
"That's the statement deliberately released by the village chief, look at it, why haven't you seen the body for so long? If you live to see people, you can always see corpses when you die, right? The middle-aged man took a sip of tea and asked unhurriedly.
"This ...... The corpse may have been washed downstream? ”
"Downstream? Do you think the village chief didn't send someone to look for it? The middle-aged man's face froze, and he continued in a terrible tone: "When the village chief sent people downstream to search and rescue, I was present and told you that we didn't even find a single hair.
There is no other possibility than being swallowed by the monster whole. ”
The hat man's mouth was dry, he raised his head and drank the tea in the bowl, and then looked at the two partners' faces turned white by his words, and he couldn't help but look proud.
And while the tea house was talking about whether the children of the village chief's family were eaten by the monsters in the river......
Outside the fishing village, in the middle of the river, there was a sudden splash of water.
Then, the splash sped towards a ferry full of passengers that had just left the dock.
