Chapter 80: Darkness in the Sky, Eternal Night
"Personnel confirmed 12/12, copy scene loading"
"The Great Founding Father, St. Joyce I! This powerful magician who became the first king in history, his military prowess was as outstanding as his magical prowess, and the army he led won for him in a short period of time! However, this can only be the end of his territory. ”
"St. Joyce I's enemies, fearful of his mighty force and invincible legions, have finally chosen to use an ancient magic item called the 'Dark Canopy'! At this point, in the vast and boundless Arctic Desert, the ancient heroic spirits began to recover, the dark sky obscured the night sky, and the undead army from the abyss of death occupied this desolate land! ”
"The boundless darkness gives the best protection to the undead, and neither the great mage-kings nor the foolish initiators can do anything about them! At the same time, the expansion of the Duchy of Joyce was finally successfully curbed! St. Joyce had no choice but to establish a majestic city on the far northern frontier of the country, known as the city of glory of the nation and the front line of the kingdom against the undead! ”
"Welcome to the dungeon 'Eternal Night'! You belong to the Red faction, and you are the defender of the Duchy of St. Joyce's garrison in the sentry camp outside Beiyao City! ”
"You have obtained the main quest 'Glory' (Tier B Master): Explore the Arctic Desert and rescue the missing Beiyao City Exploration Team. Mission time: 24 hours. ”
"You have obtained the team side quest 'Destroy the Undead' (Tier A Grandmaster): Kill 1,000 Tier D Undead, 500 Tier C Undead, 100 Tier B Undead, and 50 Tier A Undead."
"You've been awarded the team side quest 'Exploration' (Tier B Master): Find out why the Northern Yaocheng Exploration Team often goes missing in the Arctic Desert."
"You've been awarded the team side quest 'Amazing Discovery' (Tier S Heroic): Find the source of the undead and destroy it!"
As the quest introduction ended, Wan Yi and the Xuanyuan Guild appeared in a humble sentry camp.
Xuanyuan Yu checked this task twice and frowned: "Strange! Why is this mission different from the previous ones? ”
When Wan Yi heard this, he asked curiously, "Have the warriors explored this secret realm before?" ”
"I've come in twice before, but I failed! 1" Xuanyuan Yu nodded and replied, "However, the first two side quests were relatively simple, and this time the difficulty is quite large, and they have even reached the S rank hero level!" ”
For this change, Xuanyuan Yu's first thought was to take it for granted that all these changes were due to the addition of Wan Yi, an NPC, which triggered the system plot of this dungeon, and finally triggered the change of the task and a significant increase in difficulty!
After discovering this, the players of the Xuanyuan Guild were not worried but happy, often this kind of dungeon change will bring huge rewards, and they are the ultimate beneficiaries!
Immediately, Xuanyuan Yu said loudly: "Mr. Archmage, our team has been to this secret realm before, so it is relatively familiar, so we will lead the way!" ”
"Okay!" Wan Yi agreed to Xuanyuan Yu's plan: "Where you need me to make a move, just let me know." ”
After hearing this, everyone secretly rejoiced in their hearts, in their opinion, the current situation is exactly the same as the plot copy in traditional online games. Even the NPCs are already under their command, which means that the golden finger of the dungeon has been obtained, and then it is enough to rush forward and get the reward!
At this time, Wan Yi obviously didn't know that he had become the "old man" and "golden finger" in the hearts of players! He's thinking about a very important question, he's not a system NPC! Wan Yi is only one of the majority of players, so why did the dungeon change drastically after he joined? Could it be because he has the advanced quest scroll of "Eternal Night's Border"?
With this suspicion, Wan Yi slowly followed Xuanyuan Yu and his party out of this humble camp and explored towards the depths of the extremely northern desert. With the consideration of letting Wan Yi, a killer feature, save mana, Xuanyuan Yu didn't let Wan Yi make a move along the way. Wan Yi also played his NPC identity with peace of mind.
Because it was a fixed copy, the people of the Xuanyuan Guild who had been here twice seemed to be at ease, and the small undead troops that appeared along the way could not stop everyone's progress at all.
These skeleton frames holding bone weapons only have basic attributes that match their rank, and they don't have any other extra special abilities, and they don't have much cooperation with each other, and their combat power is really low!
After beating another wave of skeleton soldiers into a pile of bones, Xuanyuan Yu and the others stopped and said, "Sir, one kilometer ahead, there will be a wave of undead troops with a number of about three hundred ambushing us, and there will be three A-rank leader-level undead among them. When the time comes, I hope that Mr. can take action to clean up these undead miscellaneous soldiers, and the leader will have us to deal with it! ”
"Okay!" Wan Yi responded: "The skeleton miscellaneous soldiers will be handed over to me!" ”
So, the group moved forward again. As Xuanyuan Yu said, Wan Yi and the others really encountered an ambush of three hundred skeleton troops. However, with Wan Yi's move, several huge flame boulders crushed the chaotic skeleton army. Before the two sides fought, there were very few skeleton legions left in the size of three hundred.
Xuanyuan Yu and the others were overjoyed when they saw this, quickly eliminated the remaining miscellaneous fish, and began to besiege the three A-rank skeleton leaders. And what made Wan Yi frown was that these three skeleton leaders were too weak! They can be said to be useless except for the power attribute of Rank A! was completely suppressed by players whose attributes were two levels lower than them! In the end, these three high-level trash fish turned into a pile of broken bones after holding on for half an hour!
"Sir, shall we take a break or continue on our way?" Xuanyuan Yu excitedly watched his subordinates pick up the loot dropped by the skeleton leader, with Wan Yi's "golden finger" here, the skeleton legion that could have caused some trouble to everyone now became no difficulty. In the eyes of these players, the quest clearance is already an ironclad thing, and it depends on how much they can gain from this quest journey!
The few flame rolling rocks just now didn't consume much of Wan Yi's spiritual power at all, so naturally they didn't have to stay and rest, and the group continued to set off excitedly.
After annihilating the first wave of skeleton ambushes, the strength and number of monsters on the road have increased slightly. But for the players who broke into the dungeon, the bothering caused by these skeletons was nothing more than the difference between "effortless" and "hands-on"!
But Wan Yi's expression hidden under the mask became more and more solemn! He really couldn't figure out how these skeletons could hold back the kingdom's army led by St. Joyce I, a powerful master of space magic.
At this time, everyone had already spent more than two hours in the dungeon. Wan Yi subconsciously looked up at the sky, and it seemed that it was not far from night
