Chapter 25 Optional Task Triggering
Although a sword almost caused an oolong, it was not completely without effect. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
Although Shen Xia's attack cannot be effective against the invisible soul, it is also unable to maintain the attack on Li Ju in this state. Li Yi, who was almost unconscious, only felt that his body suddenly became lighter, and his survival instinct made him burst out of the potential in his body, and he shook off the monster behind him violently, and gasped for breath.
Seeing Li Ju successfully escape, Shen Xia was overjoyed.
However, before he could say anything, a piercing chill suddenly appeared around his body. Even the sunlight shining through the shade of the trees could not bring him the slightest warmth. Thinking of Li Ju's words before, Shen Xia still didn't know where the terrible soul that had re-entered the invisibility state had found him!
"Run!
Facing an invisible enemy, Shen Xia had no idea of confronting it at all.
God knows if there are more unjust souls nearby.
If there is only this one, the two still have a chance to save each other, but what if there are more?
If you don't stay wisely, you can only be a dead end!
Li Ju, who escaped death, has the fear of unjust souls in his bones, and he will not have any objections to Shen Xia's words. Hearing him shout, he ran faster than Shen Xia!
Unsure whether the ghost would be hunted down, the two of them ran wildly until they exited the abandoned woodland along the way they came, and only then stopped breathlessly when the scorching sun was shining all over their bodies again.
Wait a while, but there is no abnormality.
The frightened Li Ju only relieved himself a little at this time, knowing that most of the unjust souls would not catch up.
At that moment, he was almost desperate.
If it weren't for Shen Xia's resolute rescue......
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel strong gratitude in his heart, and opened his mouth to thank Shen Xia.
"It's nothing, they're all traversers, and they should be united and help each other in this hellish place." Shen Xia didn't make too much merit or boast about anything, and said calmly: "What's more, once you are entangled by that unjust soul, it will be difficult for you to break free, and only your teammates can help." When I save you, I save myself. ”
"Brother Shen is polite! In that situation just now, someone else might have left me and ran away. ”
Li Ju is not a fool, he has seen a lot of intrigue in the Dao courtyard in the past half a year, of course he knows that not everyone is as good as Shen Xia said. Otherwise, there wouldn't have been so much oppression and strife in the Daoist Academy. Thinking of this, he became more and more grateful to Shen Xia.
"I don't need to say anything more about thanks." Shen Xia waved his hand indifferently and said, "The key now is, what should we do next?" ”
Whether it is the map of Ginkgo Valley in "Legend", or the situation that the two of them found in the Taoist courtyard before they set off, they didn't mention that there were unjust souls on the road. Otherwise, they would have been dealt with by the aboriginal masters of the Daoist Academy. Although the unjust soul that can be invisible and not afraid of physical attacks is terrifying, Shen Xia does not believe that it is immune to magic and Dao attacks. Any professional above LV7 should be able to solve it.
In the face of this unexpected monster, Li Ju was obviously a little at a loss.
Let him continue through the abandoned woodland, obviously he didn't dare, and after thinking for a few seconds, Li Yi proposed: "Or, let's go back to the Taoist courtyard the same way, tell Daoist Zhu the situation here, and ask him to help." If you're lucky, you might even get a reward or trigger an optional quest or something. ”
Shen Xia was also jealous of this invisible monster, and after a slight sigh, he said, "It's okay, then let's go back to the Dao Academy first." ”
The decision was made, so the two of them stopped staying and rushed back to the Taoist temple as quickly as possible in the morning of the next day.
As they approached the Dao Academy, the two of them also met several new Taoists who had changed careers after them, apparently just leaving the Dao Academy. After learning about the situation in the abandoned woodland from Shen Xia and Li Ji, several Taoist disciples had no choice but to follow the two of them to turn around together. It's a bit of a waste of time, but no one wants to risk their lives.
………
Shen Xia's return caused a big stir in the Taoist Academy.
There must have been as many as seven or eight cases of Taoist disciples who had been transferred to Ginkgo Village, but the two of them were undoubtedly the first to return to the Taoist Academy after only two or three days of leaving. Not only did it make the guards of the Daoist Academy, who still had some impressions, a little strange, but it also made the traversers in the Daoyuan scratch their heads. No one could have imagined that in just a few days of going out, the two of them not only fought with the demonized scarecrow, but also encountered a near-fatal crisis!
The main hall of the temple.
Regarding Shen Xia and Li Ju's embarrassed return and asking to see them for the first time, Daoist Zhu was also a little surprised and agreed to the request of the two. When he learned about the situation in the abandoned woodland from Li Ju and personally checked the remnants of resentment on Li Ju's body, Daoist Zhu's face changed slightly.
He pondered for a moment, and only after half a sound did he speak: "Abandoned woodland, there used to be a village of hundreds of families, I don't know if you know?" ”
Shen Xia nodded, he had already inquired about this matter before he set off. Could it be said?
Daoist Zhu's next words were just like Shen Xia's guess: "According to what you described, if I am not mistaken, the remnants of the unjust souls should have been transformed from the dead in that abandoned village back then. ”
It turned out that as early as three years before the arrival of the traverser, a large number of unjust spirits had appeared in the abandoned woodland, killing dozens of people before and after. At that time, the two masters of the Taoist Academy, Zhu Daoist and Chen Daoist, not only eradicated nearly 100 unjust souls, but also left arrangements at the ruins of the abandoned village, and pasted six sacred talismans to prevent the regeneration of new unjust souls.
In the years since, there has been no movement in the abandoned woodland.
Unexpectedly, three years later, it happened to happen to Shen Xia and Li Ju.
I just don't know, is the unjust soul that the two encountered was the fish that slipped through the net back then, or is there a new unjust soul? There is obviously a huge difference between the two!
If it is the former, the Taoist priest only needs to give the two of them a sacred talisman to eliminate the fish that slipped through the net.
But if it's the latter...... That doesn't matter, he'll need to make a trip himself.
Thinking like this, Daoist Zhu made up his mind, his eyes swept over Li Ju and Shen Xia, and asked, "That unjust soul of the abandoned woodland is on the way to Ginkgo Village, and the Daoist Academy will definitely take care of it." But what exactly is going on is not known for the time being. I'd like to entrust the two of you to go on another trip to find out what's going on. ”
Before his words fell, the system in the minds of the two of them invariably triggered a new task.
【Exploring Abandoned Villages】
Description: Go to the village of the abandoned woodland, find out the relevant information about the unjust soul, and come back to report to the Taoist priest.
Acceptable?
At that moment, Shen Xia's face was slightly happy, but he didn't expect that the optional task was really triggered as Li guessed. Li Ju also had the intention to move in his heart, but thinking of the despair of being almost killed by the unjust soul at that time, he couldn't help but hesitate and be a little afraid, and hesitated to know whether to take it or not.
However, the system only gives them a short time to think about it.
In an instant, Li Ju didn't think about whether to take it or not, and the system decided that he would give up taking it. Optional missions quickly fade away as if they never existed.
Shen Xia took it in time, and only thought for a few seconds before agreeing: "I wish my lord, I am willing to go!" ”
His firm answer undoubtedly satisfied the Taoist priest.
