Chapter 35: Investigating the Source of Zombies
York, the captain of Chaoyang City's city defense, took the initiative to find me, is it because Parson wants to thank me in person? He wouldn't be happy to suddenly pull out an artifact from behind his back and give it to me as a thank you, right?
Thinking of this, I immediately opened the large map of Chaoyang City with excitement, found the coordinates of the city defense captain York, and quickly rushed over.
Seeing me from afar, York immediately greeted me with a smile on his face, "Isn't this Longhu?" I haven't had time to thank you for your heroic intrusion into Merlot to rescue one of my patrol teams. ”
I waved my hand very gracefully: "It's a trivial matter, not enough to worry about." Anyway, are there any rewards? ”
York raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.
Well, I'll admit that maybe I'm asking too directly, so let's put it a little more tactfully: "I wonder how Captain York intends to commend me for this heroic act?" ”
York Falls Khan, "There is no reward, or I'll send you a certificate of honor." ”
This time, it was my turn to chill, and I hurriedly declared to the NPC, "You know, I don't care about names. ”
"It's true, according to reliable sources, there have been zombie waves in other towns, but our city guards have been unable to spare manpower to investigate this matter recently, so I came to you this time in the hope that you can help me with this." ”
"Ding~!"
System prompt: Do you want to accept the task [Investigation]?
The mission took the initiative to come to the door, it seems that I really broke out RP, I hurriedly nodded and agreed, "Okay, I'm willing to run this trip for you." "I accepted the request of the captain of York.
"Ding~!"
System Prompt: You accept the main quest [Investigation] (current quest difficulty: 600) Quest content: Accept the commission of Captain York, try to investigate the cause of the zombie tide, find out the leader behind the scenes, kill him, cut off the head, and bring it back to Captain York, you will get an unusually rich reward.
A previous task that mentioned a rich reward,Let me get a bronze-level necklace.,And the guò task was directly upgraded from level 20 to level 22 in one day.,This time it's an unusually rich reward task.,I don't know what kind of reward the NPC will give me after the task is completed.,Anyway, equipment should be indispensable, right?
If I want to investigate the cause of the zombie wave, I have already vaguely guessed that it must be the necromancer who turned Mayor Karn into an undead warrior. Maybe the necromancer isn't fighting alone, and has his own companions in other towns, but if I can find him, I should be able to find other undead hidden somewhere else.
I remember Karn bursting out of the woods outside the town, which meant that the necromancer who was hiding behind the scenes must have been nearby. I've looked at the system before, and I've learned that the most popular place for necromancers to stay is a place with a lot of yin qi like the cemetery, because there is only that kind of place that is most suitable for their cultivation, and can also provide them with a steady stream of materials to summon skeleton warriors.
In this way, the direction of the mission is clearer, as long as you try to find the cemetery near Merlot Town, it is possible to find the necromancer hiding behind the scenes, and then find a way to kill him, cut off his head and bring him back to the mission, and the mission is completed.
Just as I was about to leave, it occurred to me that little Jon was still waiting for me to rescue him, and he had no clue about it. As the captain of the city guard, York was well-informed and didn't know if there was any way to get rid of the plague toxin.
There's a way to resurrect little Jon from him, and I don't expect that.
I asked, "Captain York, do you know any way to successfully remove the plague toxin from your body?" ”
York smiled: "But you think more thoughtfully than me, you have to go deep into the area of those zombie activities this time, and if you accidentally rescue you from being infected with plague toxins, you really need to make some preparations in advance, I definitely don't have a way, but you can go to the owner of the pharmacy Speed, just tell him that I introduced him to him, I believe he will be very happy to help, Speed is an old friend of mine, we often drink together." ”
I thought to myself, since that's the case, there's no need to tell him about Jon Jon, it's better to know as few people as possible about this matter now.
I said goodbye to Captain York and went to the pharmacy to ask the pharmacy owner for help.
I heard that I was introduced by York, and the owner of the pharmacy received me very warmly. After coming into contact with him, I felt that he was a man to be trusted, at least if he refused to listen to me in the future, it would be easier to kill people, and his force was more than a little worse than that of Captain York.
I told Jon about it, and repeatedly emphasized that his eyes were different from other zombies, very clear, and that he could communicate with me without barriers, and maybe even be resurrected. At the end, he asked worriedly, "You shouldn't tell me about it, right?" ”
I had already clenched my spear when I asked this, and I was ready to kill him at once if he did not satisfy me.
"Oh, poor little Jon, I know this kid, I saw him when I was in Merlot on an errand before, and he was a very sweet boy." Said the pharmacy owner.
Hearing him say this, I was immediately much more relieved.
"Then you can help him, even if it's just to help him suppress the spread of the plague toxin on his body." I asked.
The pharmacy owner thought for a moment and said, "If he was infected with the plague toxin before he was killed and became what he is now, then I am fully capable of curing him, and if he has been killed before, at least he can completely remove the plague toxin from his body." ”
I immediately stretched out my hand and said, "Then what are you waiting for, hurry up, give me a pair of medicines." ”
The owner of the pharmacy said slowly: "Everything else is fine, but it is more difficult to blindly have materials, unless you can find a way to find them for me." ”
"What is it, tell me quickly."
"The heart of the dead is actually the heart of a necromancer."
"I'm about to cut off their heads, and then digging out their hearts by the way, killing two birds with one stone." I patted the pharmacy owner on the shoulder, "Wait for my good news." ”
By the way, I added some necessary potions, and now that I have more support skills, I also have to bring some blue potions, and then repair the equipment again, and I will go to Merlot Town again.
After a few hours, there were more zombies around the town of Merlot, and I had to kill them again.
After having an extra necklace around my neck, my current attack power is already on par with Lin Xiaoran, but because I don't have active attack skills, the monster killing efficiency is still incomparable to Lin Xiaoran, so I move very slowly.
I fought for two hours in a row, and I only advanced a little bit, but I was not in a hurry, there was no time limit for this task, I had time.
was killing, and suddenly received a message from Lin Xiaoran: "Idiot, what are you doing?" ”
Me: "On a mission." ”
"Soul light, why did you get the task again."
I replied, "This should be a sequel to the previous mission." ”
Lin Xiaoran complained: "It's really unfair, the task was completed by us together, why did you receive the follow-up task alone, but I didn't." ”
"No way, people are handsome, and they are taken care of when they play a game."
"Why don't you die?"
"I know you're jealous, so I don't know you like you."
"Cut, villain."
……
After seven or eight hours of fighting, I finally found a large cemetery in the north of the town, and I saw a miserable white skeleton wandering around aimlessly with a broken sword in his hand.
Lost a reconnaissance technique, but couldn't see the monster's qi and blood and other information, these skeletons are estimated to have reached level 29.
[Graveyard Guard] (Normal Monster) Blood: ???
Attack:???
Defense:???
Grade:???
Skills: Enhanced Strike, Bloodthirsty Slash......
What about the high level, the blood skin of the skeleton is no thicker than that of a zombie, and it shouldn't be a problem to break the defense with my current attack power, as long as I can break the defense, I have the confidence to kill them.
I quickly locked onto the nearest skeleton and rushed forward with my spear in hand, "Smack! A shot broke one of the skeleton's ribs. Attacked, the skeleton let out a high-pitched whistling, and a damage number floated over its head.
“377!”
It's good, it's a little bit better than I thought it would be.
The next moment, the skeleton swung the broken sword in his hand to counterattack, but his movements were a little sluggish.
I quickly moved into position, successfully avoided the monster's attack, and quickly came to his side, the spear was like a dragon going out to sea to attack quickly, and successfully took away 300+ qi and blood from the monster.
The monster turned around to find my location, of course I wouldn't stand in place and wait for him to find out, and quickly walked out of half an S under my feet, and continued to avoid the monster's sight, the power of the bull suddenly turned on, and the third shot after the strength skyrocketed, "Bang!" The sound broke the skeleton's two bones, and at the same time took him 521 points of qi and blood.
After three consecutive attacks, the monster's qi and blood have been reduced by 30%, and I judged that the qi and blood of these cemetery guards should be around 4500.
Soon, the first skeleton fell down with a miserable howl, and happily contributed nearly 1,000 XP points and 3 silver coins to me.
Using these thin-skinned skeletons to level up is significantly faster than killing zombies, and even if the target I'm looking for isn't here, there's every reason to stay here and continue to kill.
Before I knew it, another two or three hours had passed, and I had successfully cleared a corner of the cemetery, when suddenly three green-skinned zombies with kitchen knives appeared not far in front of me at the same time, and all three of them were elites, and I was startled.
But I soon realized that the three zombies weren't coming at me.
The sudden surging of three elite zombies at the same time from the skeleton-filled graveyard is telling, and it looks like I've found what I'm looking for.
