The sky was dark, and the terrifying forest at night, under the faint mist of the early morning and the fragments of sunlight through the branches and leaves, looked pure and shy, like a beautiful girl in a white veil, teased by the naughty golden light, dyed with a touch of pink.

The animals who had been hustling all night seemed to be tired, and the drums subsided, everything returned to its previous normal state, and a small number of hard-working players also stepped on the dew and began their day's fighting life.

And deep in the forest, in a clearing that is not usually set foot by the player, one ghost after another, panting and puffing at each other.

"Don't chase it."

"You don't run!"

"Can you run away if you don't chase me?"

"If you don't run, can I chase after me?"

Well, the two guys, who are already too tired, have a very unnutritious conversation.

"You can't destroy me anyway, so can't we stop and talk peacefully?"

"How do you know I can't destroy you? Persistently, I can always kill you! ”

"But why do you have to kill me?"

Sycamore froze and looked at the faint ghost in front of him, barely able to maintain its shape, yes, why did you have to kill it?

Wutong, who felt that he was surrounded by ghosts, shook his head: "No! You scared me first! So I'm going to kill you! ”

The ghost fluctuated violently: "You ran to my place in the middle of the night to rummage around, can't I even ask?" ”

The sycamore is fluted again, it seems to be yes?

"And you blew me to pieces with a damn spell as soon as we met, and it didn't affect me, but was it my fault?"

Well, that seems to be true

"Alright" Sycamore admitted that he was wrong, and the ghost breathed a sigh of relief, and then squirmed as it tried to get close to the mound in the middle of the glade, and was shattered by a golden ray.

Wutong was very curious to take a look at the ghost whose recovery time was getting longer and longer, sat down on the spot and began to meditate to recover the energy value consumed, and after entangled with this guy all night, Wutong actually upgraded his [meditation] specialty to a higher level.

He also found that this ghost didn't seem to have any ill will towards him, and it was obvious that this ghost was of a very high level, so high that he couldn't kill it, otherwise, what monster would have been bombed by him for a night and not killed?

You must know that in addition to his super high magic damage, the eternal wand in his hand has the surname of "ignoring any type of defense of undead creatures", which is why he can hurt disembodied ghosts.

Spirits are monsters that are not accessible to players during the trial period at all, so it should probably be a special NPC, not a boss used to be overturned, and besides, Sycamore doesn't think that the temper of that boss will be good enough to be bombarded by him all night, and he won't be angry.

Wutong found that the ghost didn't attack him once, it seems that either because the ghost didn't plan to attack him at all, or it couldn't attack itself at all, just like if he hadn't coincidentally learned the necromantic spell of [Strike Necromancy], there would be no way to attack it.

After five or six minutes, the ghost regained its form, but in the brighter light of the day, it became very dim, and if you didn't look closely, you could hardly see it.

Ghost: ""

Due to the peculiar biological clock, and Wutong, who is very sensitive to time, prepared a [Strike Necromancy] in his hand at the same time that the ghost regained its form, and seeing that the ghost did not react this time, Wutong asked curiously: "Why don't you speak?" ”

"Say what?"

The ghost said angrily, "Anyway, no matter what you say, you're going to break me again." ”

Wutong thought for a moment and canceled the spell of the ready state: "Why can't I kill you?" ”

"No one can destroy me! Although your [Strike Necromancy] can hurt me, the ghost is immortal, and even if you destroy me now, it doesn't mean that I am dead. The ghost was a little triumphant: "Young man, the wonder of this world is not something you can imagine. ”

Sycamore is confused and can't be eliminated? Is this a special surname for an imaginary creature?

I remember that it seems to be mentioned in the official information that the number of species in "Endless" is unimaginable, even if it is the same creature, there will be a large number of subspecies, variants and hybrids, but each type of creature, no matter how they change, its main surname will not change.

For example, "virtual creatures" such as ghosts are immune to any physical attack and most spell damage, and although they don't like light, they don't die instantly under the light, and even the Sycamore's positive energy rays only weaken it, not really hurt it.

And Sycamore found that as he stopped attacking, the ghost's dim form was also recovering rapidly, and solidifying, a terrible recovery speed, no wonder Sycamore couldn't kill it, he had a spell in the past, maybe the damage was not as fast as anyone recovered.

This does not mean that the Void creature is invincible, because others can't beat it, and it can't touch others, although the evil Void creatures often have very terrible abilities to hurt the enemy, but they must also have a very fatal weakness.

The ghost is very proud to say that it can't be destroyed, there must be a reason, Sycamore doesn't feel like it's talking big, because its smug attitude is too fearless, if it weren't for the fact that Sycamore can't completely threaten it at all, it won't compensate Sycamore for "playing" for a night of "shooting".

"Alright! In that case, can I ask you, why are you here? ”

The ghost said seriously, "I'm waiting for someone!" ”

"Wait for someone? Who? ”

Wutong's eyes widened, he was busy all night, could it be that he almost killed the mission target, right? There's nothing else around here except this weird ghost, not even monsters.

"Wait for someone who can help me get my things back." The ghost said seriously, its form becoming clearer and clearer in the slightly dim environment of the forest, and the sycamore could even see its face clearly, and even the robe on its body gradually revealed its style.

"What are you looking for?" Sycamore patted the blades of grass on his body and stood up.

"My corpse." The ghost sighed, "Do you know why you couldn't destroy me?" Because no matter how many times you kill me, I will be reborn from the corpse in a matter of hours. ”

Wutong sweated and pointed at himself: "What do you think of me?" ”

"You?" The ghost said with contempt: "You can't even kill me, how can you reach the depths of the temple that is entrenched by evil monsters and snatch my body back from them!?" ”

"How do you know if you don't try."

Despised by NPCs, to be precise, Wutong, who was despised by an NPC ghost, said depressedly: "How many people do you think will be so bored that they come to this inaccessible ghost place to spend the night with you?" ”

"There's no other choice," the ghost said bitterly, glancing at the homeless man who was still asleep on the moss-covered broken rocks, "Can't these fools even find a great guy?" ”

"By these homeless people, I mean the homeless people who sell 'magical adventure gear' in the bars of every village." Wutong was curious: "They are all your subordinates?" ”

"Them?" The ghost arrogantly said with contempt: "They are not worthy! I'm noble Lord Hadron, and these guys are just my employees! These fools have spent too much time waiting, won't they take the initiative to complete the tasks I tell them? When I get back, I'll definitely fire them! ”

The self-proclaimed "Lord Hadrun" ghost complained about his dissatisfaction with his subordinates, and Sycamore asked with a headache, "Then do you want me to help you recover your bones?" "He felt like he was wasting too much time here with this chattering guy.

"Bones!? What bones!? The ghost Hadron said dissatisfiedly, "It's my corpse!" ”

"Alright! Your corpse" Sycamore looked at him, "You look like you've been dead for a long time, are you sure your body hasn't turned into bones yet?" ”

Hadron said triumphantly: "Of course, how could the great Lord Hadron not have the slightest means to protect himself!" As long as you can bring back my corpse, I will be able to resurrect, and my business empire will become the largest business organization in all worlds and countries under my leadership! ”

"Business empire?" Sycamore was curious: "Are you a businessman?" ”

"You don't know me?" Hadron looked at Wutong in astonishment: "Haven't you even heard the name of Lord Hadron, the founder of the most famous "Isles Chamber of Commerce" in the Endless Islands?" ”

"The Chamber of Commerce of the Islands?" Wutong looked confused: "I really haven't heard of such a chamber of commerce in the Endless Islands"

"It can't be!" Hadron shouted, "My Isles Chamber of Commerce operates shops in every village in the Endless Islands! ”

"How long have you been dead?" Sycamore looked up at the small patch of sky peeking out between the foliage above his head, he had wasted too much time here.

"Uh, for a long time? 3 days? Maybe 5 days? I don't think it took much time" The ghost Hadron gave a confused look, apparently because it had become a ghost, it seemed to have lost some of its memories, or rather, it remained in the memories of its death.

"I don't think so"

Wutong pointed to the homeless man lying on the rock: "If it doesn't take long, do you think that a member of the Chamber of Commerce with shops in every village on the islands of the Endless Islands will fall into this way?" I've been to Ogarus IslandIf you know that there is such an island, I've been to every village on this island, but I haven't found a single village that has a shop from the Isles Chamber of Commerce, not even the main city of Ogalus Island, Ogarus City! ”

After a pause, Wutong glanced at the sluggish ghost sympathetically: "If you don't guess wrong, your chamber of commerce has closed down due to poor management!" Say, how did you command your men to save you? ”

"I left them an order to hire a large number of adventurers and mercenaries to save me if I don't go back in three days! I forgot to leave them the cost of hiring adventurers! Hadron suddenly screamed in panic.

“”

Speechless for a while, Wutong comforted him: "It's okay, your men are very smart, they probably sold your Chamber of Commerce and then raised money to hire adventurers, and they are very loyal, they should continue to do this for a long time, because they are now so poor that they can sell their backpacks to raise funds." ”

"Backpack? You mean convenience bags? Hadron waved his arms angrily: "Damn it! What did they mean by me? Haven't they found the heir of the Chamber of Commerce until now? ”

In Hadrun's incoherent shouting, Sycamore always understood what was going on, a few years ago, Hadron hired a group of mercenaries to take them to this forest ruins for an exploration activity, just in case, it left a "suicide note" for his subordinates, that is, those homeless people, if he did not return in 3 days, recruit mercenaries to save himself.

But this stingy guy, when he left, forgot to leave his subordinates the cost of hiring mercenaries, and mentioned in his "suicide note" that if the rescue operation failed, let them find a business-proficient successor for the "Islands Chamber of Commerce", run the Chamber of Commerce, and use the money earned to persistently hire adventurers and mercenaries to save himself, until he rescues himself, the successor can really obtain the inheritance of the "Islands Chamber of Commerce", otherwise he will not get anything.

To become a shrewd businessman, you must not only have enough capital, that is, 5 gold coins to buy "magical adventure equipment", but also have enough vicious eyesight to pick out something truly valuable from a large pile of rags.

Wutong was very skeptical that he was planning to make another sum of money through this method, because it was mentioned in the "Raiders" that during the closed technical surname test of "Endless", the testers did not spend less money on this task of pit people, and they were deceived a lot of gold coins.

"By the way, how could you, the owner of a chamber of commerce, come to the ruins of this bird that doesn't lay eggs and die here?" Wutong was puzzled, your good chamber of commerce boss is not appropriate, what kind of risk does the scholar take, and it seems to be a more dangerous adventure, otherwise he would not have left a "suicide note" in advance, and ordered his subordinates to organize mercenaries to save himself, since it is so dangerous, why do you want to come by yourself?

"Because I got a treasure map, and it says that underneath this ruin, there are astral merchants left behind!"

Instinctively stating the purpose of coming here, Hadron suddenly realized that he had leaked an important secret, he swallowed back the second half of his words, and looked at Wutong nervously: "You didn't hear anything, did you?" ”

Sycamore observed the creature to determine if it had really inadvertently told the secret or if it had been said on purpose in order to lure him back to bring back its corpse.

However, as a former businessman, Ghost Hadren's acting skills are obviously Oscar-level, and Wutong can't see it at all, so he can only give up and shake his head: "Okay, I'm willing to try, but what benefits are you going to give me?" "Whether what this guy says is true or false, there is no way for Sycamore to give up this task.

"Oh my God! As a man of high morals, you are asking for payment from a poor man who needs your help!? You"

Hadron exclaimed exaggeratedly, but when he saw Sycamore turn around and leave, he changed his words: "I have a lot of good things on my corpse!" You know, I'm a rich man! If you can bring my body back, it's all yours! ”

That's pretty much it! Wutong nodded with satisfaction: "Now tell me, how to get your body back!" ”

"Underneath this mound, there's a passage to the underground ruins" Hadron looked at Sycamore, "If I'm not mistaken, I left a replica of the key to open the passage for these fools!" ”

"You mean that?" Sycamore took out the bronze medal that the homeless man had given him with a scale-engraved on it.

"Yes, go to the mound! There's a stone slab on it, lift it up," Hadron chattered after the sycamore, and when he saw that the sycamore had lifted the slate, and inlaid the bronze plaque into the circular groove under the slate, he suddenly said in surprise, "You don't plan to go alone, do you?" ”

Wutong was stunned: "Isn't it okay?" ”

"You know how many men I took with me when I went down myself," Hadron shouted, "a mercenary group!" A full 100 people!! None of them managed to get out of it! ”

"Uh" Wutong hesitated, but still put the bronze medal into the groove under the stone slab, go down and take a look, anyway, it's not that he can't be resurrected, and he came to Bahadiga Island alone, where did he go to find a team?

As the bronze medal was inlaid up, the mound suddenly shook violently, and a crack cracked in the middle with a bang, splitting in two to reveal a downward staircase, looking at the dark passage, Sycamore took a breath, released a [Dancing Light Technique], and stepped in.

The dark passage was filled with dampness and the smell of [***], and there were even a large number of bones left on the ground, which should be the mercenary who died here at that time.
