Chapter 225: Dark Cuisine

"Ding~!"

System prompt: Your squad completes the task [Escort Materials], and you get a reward of 5 million experience points, 20,000 reputation points, 2,000 gold coins, 2 luck points, and a reward item [Shadow Cloak].

An unprecedented sense of happiness arose, and after so many hardships, I finally completed this difficult team task, but I didn't expect the task reward to be so rich.

Not only did I have a lot of experience and reputation, but I also got a rare luck bonus of 2 points, and my previous luck value was only 6 points, but this time I got 2 points at once. In addition, there is also a cape equipment reward, is this really a private sponsorship of the Black Cavalry Commander Gunder? If the NPC didn't brag, wouldn't it mean that the personal wealth of the Black Cavalry commander was already rich.

As the task reward arrived, an upgraded golden light instantly lit up on my body with a brush, and I was directly upgraded to level 81 with mission experience.

At the same time, my five friends also lit up at the same time, and everyone's level was improved after receiving the task reward.

Then I immediately opened the package and checked the equipment stats of the mission reward.

I saw a pure black cloak lying quietly in the package, occupying a space in it, and the surface of the equipment exuded a faint purple-gold luster.

Cloak of Shadow (Purple Gold Weapon-Armor) Defense: 320 Strength: 90 Body: 80 Agility: 80 Level: 80 Additional: Increases the user's evasion rate by 20%.

Luckily, I got a piece of purple gold equipment in the mission reward link, and the additional attributes of the equipment increased the evasion rate by 20%.

I immediately replaced the level 50 gold artifact Deep Sea Blue Cloak on my body with the Shadow Cloak. However, the deep sea blue cloak can't be lost, and it can still play a role in the future if it is slowed down by a mage or archer.

In addition to me, Lin Xiaoran and Wanxi also got bonus equipment, Lin Xiaoran got an 80-level purple gold necklace, and the attack power alone directly increased by 230 points, and the last attribute of the equipment also added a 15% increase in attack power, which made the beautiful swordsman happy.

Wanxi's luck was also good, as she got a Priest's Cloth Armor Hat, which added 10% of her healing output, which made her healing ability even better.

Overall, it was me who gained the most from this mission trip, and I received the first piece of spiritual weapon equipment in the whole server, and it was also a breastplate.

After receiving the reward, everyone didn't leave immediately, they finally came here, and they hadn't heard about the development of the war in the area of the Black Blood Castle, so how could they leave casually.

The next moment, almost at the same time, we set our sights on the Black Cavalry commander Gunder again.

"My lord, it is said that the battle to recover the Black Blood Castle is about to start, and as a part of Lingyun City, we are very willing to serve the country at this time." I preemptively show my loyalty to the NPCs.

Several people immediately looked at me with grief; "Damn, we've left you alone with everything we want to say."

Then, the five of them said in unison, "So do we." ”

Gander was very satisfied with our appearance, and said happily: "If all the adventurers in the Lingyun Empire are like you, then the time for the Empire to successfully uproot the Black Blood Castle is just around the corner. ”

"Then you're welcome, if there is anything that is inconvenient for the Black Cavalry to do, or that can't spare manpower to do but needs to be done urgently, leave it to us to solve." I've got it all.

When Gunder heard me say this, he was no longer polite and said directly: "I really have a few things to trouble you to do right now. First of all, we received the news that the Undead Empire is likely to send reinforcements to the Black Blood Ciep in the next few days, and before that, they will send heralds to bring the news to the leader of the Black Blood Keep, and I need someone to intercept this information now. ”

"I'll go."

"I'll go."

"I'll go."

……

We scrambled to sign up.

Gunde stretched out his hand and pointed at me: "The cavalry is fast, so I'll leave this matter to you." ”

"Ding~!"

System prompt: You accept the task [Intercept Intelligence] (the current mission difficulty is 1300), the mission content, according to the information provided by the Black Cavalry scouts, set up an ambush in advance in the Crow Ridge, the place where the undead heralds must pass, and wait for the target to pass by to obtain the information he carries, and you will get rich rewards after the task is completed.

While accepting the task, the system also gave the coordinates of Crow Ridge.

At the same time, I received a mission reminder: It is estimated that there are still 30 minutes before the target arrives at Crow Ridge, so please hurry up and set up an ambush at Crow Ridge immediately.

Raven Ridge is a long way from the Black Cavalry camp, but at the speed of the Wolf King, if there are no accidents on the way, I should be able to get there early.

If you can't set up an ambush in Raven Ridge in advance, once the enemy succeeds in getting through Guò, there will be at least three ways to go directly to the Black Blood Castle, and if you want to intercept the other party at that time, you can only rely on luck by my own strength.

Without further ado, I immediately left the Black Cavalry camp and rushed away with the coordinates prompted by the Wolf Dynasty's quest. As for what kind of tasks Lin Xiaoran and they can receive next, I don't have time to ask now.

The system automatically prompted the target of the estimated arrival time every ten minutes, and I rode the green wolf king to hurry up, and finally arrived at the predetermined base list two minutes earlier than the target, and lurked in a bush.

One minute, two minutes, three minutes...... Ten minutes passed, and I finally realized that there must be something wrong with the route provided to me by the NPC, and the target didn't pass through here as scheduled.

NND: I said how can the task of 1300 difficulty points be so simple, run to a place to kill someone, and then get a letter of information and it will be completed.

The question now is whether the enemy's signal corps did not pass through here, whether they deliberately came late because they had a hunch that someone must be ambushing here, or whether they temporarily changed their route and bypassed from somewhere else, and did not take the road of Crow Ridge.

I immediately pulled out the big map and studied it.

After accepting the task of intercepting information, I was able to obtain some map information from NPCs, but this map was limited to the area around Raven Ridge, and I was still limited in what I could see from the map.

Judging from the map currently in hand, Crow Ridge is indeed the area that must be passed through to the Black Blood Castle in the Undead Control area. Of course, this is only for land, if you choose to take the waterway, there is a river running through the mountains about ten minutes to the north of Crow Ridge, and you can reach Black Blood Castle by boat without passing through Crow Ridge.

Deliberately delaying the time or diverting the waterway is theoretically both possible. It seems that I can only gamble on luck, and if I call someone to help now, it will definitely be too late. And this quest can't be shared, even if I can call someone to help now, if the target isn't killed by me, it shouldn't explode the quest item.

Soon I made a decision: to leave Crow Ridge and go to the waterway to stop the target.

Quickly urge the green wolf king to gallop towards the Weiming River in the north of the Crow Ridge, the speed of taking a boat against the current is definitely not as fast as riding a horse, if the other party really takes the waterway, it should not have crossed the canyon now, at this time, in the past, the river surface of the river flow Guò Canyon was blocked, the success rate was the highest, once the other party crossed the canyon, he could find a place to go ashore at any time, and it would be more difficult to find the target at that time.

In more than ten minutes, I rushed to the bank of the Weiming River, quickly changed into the boots of the water god and stepped on the surface of the river to continue to move forward, and soon arrived at the mouth of the canyon.

Due to the influence of the mountains on both sides, the river has a turn in the place where it passes through the canyon, so I can't see the entrance on the other side of the canyon standing on the river, and if the other party comes from that end, I can't see the situation on my side, and when the other party turns the river and finds me, it will definitely be too late to escape.

I just rode my mount and stood quietly on the river and waited.

More than ten minutes later, a canoe appeared in my field of vision.

The first time I saw the boat, I confirmed that the other party was exactly what I was looking for, and I couldn't help but feel ecstatic that Lady Luck was on my side again.

At the same time, the other party also found me, and immediately rowed desperately in the opposite direction to escape, and suddenly changed from going against the water to going down the river, his speed was indeed much faster, but my speed was faster, and the four hooves of the green wolf king quickly made a splash on the water, and quickly chased after it like Ling Bo's microstep.

When I got closer, I was surprised to find that my target wasn't a monster, but a player, the hidden undead knight dark cook.

Seeing me approaching quickly, Dark Cuisine sighed: "I didn't expect that the temporary change to the water route was still guessed, and Nima can still walk on the water, it's just too deceitful." ”

With that, he decisively threw away the oars in his hand, and quickly summoned his mount on the canoe to prepare for the battle.

The next moment, Dark Cuisine succeeded in summoning his mount before I could reach it, but his mount, the Bone Spirit Horse, couldn't stand on his feet on the bumpy canoe, and his body shook incessantly and almost threw him off his horse.

Dark Cuisine sighed again and simply canceled the mount status.

Then he looked at me with a slightly provocative gaze: "Do you dare to go ashore to fight?" ”

In fact, he didn't know that I also had my worries, although I could come and go freely on the water in the boots of the water god, but in case the boat under his feet could not withstand the pressure during the battle and broke and sank, and the people sank into the water together and were washed away by the turbulent river, where can I find the mission items?

He proposed to go to the shore for a decisive battle, which hit my heart, and he actually has more than 8,100 defense points and more than 27,000 attack power, do I still have to be afraid that I can't beat the other party?

"Why don't you dare?" I asked rhetorically.

"Well, there's a place on the other side of the canyon where we can land and fight a fair fight." Dark Cuisine said, turning around and pointing to the side of the river.
