Chapter 8: Hidden Mission: Searching for Elves
"Ye Feng, which novice village are you in?"
"Qinghe Village, are you there too?"
"Hmm."
In the information revealed by the "Phantom World", there are a total of twenty novice villages in the Huaxia region, and Mo Wuchen and Ye Feng can be assigned to the same novice village, which can be said to be quite lucky.
"Let's not talk about it first, I'll find a way to go out first, I have a grass, 20 novice villages share, and there are still so many people...... Don't squeeze the one next to me, what, boy? Want to fight? ”
The voice of the intercom stopped in Ye Feng's unhappy complaints, Mo Wuchen hung up the phone, and mourned for three seconds in his heart for Ye Feng, a bitter child, and then continued to explore the depths of the forest, with two silver weapons, even if he met the elite demonic beasts of the ghost wolf level again, Mo Wuchen already had the strength to fight, not like before, the sky should not be called the earth, not to mention how embarrassed it was.
However, I believe that there should not be a second ghost wolf in the gloomy forest, this kind of big killing weapon, even if the player turns 1, it is not necessarily its opponent, it stands to reason that this thing cannot appear in this kind of place, this thing thrown into the village is almost completely at the level of slaughtering the village, too ferocious.
The Gloomy Forest, as its name suggests, grows more eerie the atmosphere becomes, the melodious birdsong of the former is long gone, and all that remains is the graveyard-like lifeless gloom and the disgusting musty smell of rotting and fermenting dead branches and leaves accumulated over the years.
Along the way, with the power of the silver weapon, Mo Wuchen killed dozens of brown bears, but the experience bar only rose a little weakly, and with the increase of the level, the experience points required for upgrading also increased geometrically.
Unconsciously, Mo Wuchen found himself in an unknown area, at this time, the surrounding tree trunks and the ground were covered with sparse and slippery moss, and the sky had become gloomy and dark at some point, and dense dark clouds were rolling violently, as if a rainstorm was coming.
"Ding, you've entered the danger zone 'Moss Forest'."
The sudden sound in his ears almost scared Mo Wuchen enough, Mo Wuchen opened the game information, entered the moss forest, and quickly found the information he wanted.
"Moss Forest: A vast primeval forest deep in the dark forests of Qinghe Town, which is somehow covered with moss, hence its name. This forest is shrouded in clouds and mist all the year round, and it is said that it is a relic of ancient times, and there were many strong people who stepped into this forest with a sense of curiosity and adventure, but they were never heard from in the end, and over time, this place was given the name of a forbidden place, and was gradually forgotten by the world. ”
The level of the mossy forest is not indicated, but since it is called a danger map, it must be full of dangers, and if you are not careful, you may not even know how to die. Generally speaking, when encountering a dangerous area that is obviously not something that can be set foot at this stage, it is the clearest and wisest choice to turn around and leave, but Mo Wuchen decided to go here to find out with two silver weapons.
Continuing to walk inside, the strange smell of moss and ** intertwined in the air became stronger and stronger, forcing Mo Wuchen to temporarily lower the system's olfactory perception, otherwise, he would be smoked to death before he was killed by the monster.
Suddenly, Mo Wuchen stopped, and through the thin mist, Mo Wuchen found a slowly swaying shadow, nearly two people tall. The block of this shadow looks like the stump of an ancient tree, but unfortunately the visibility around it is too poor, and the level of the other party may be very high, so Mo Wuchen only reads out the data "??? ”。
However, the big man moved slowly, and with his agile skills and powerful attack power from the silver weapon, it was not impossible to hang it with a kite flying tactic, and kill it like a blunt knife cutting through flesh.
Generally speaking, most of the slow-moving monsters have a relatively low evasion rate, and sometimes even if there is level suppression, the chance of hitting will be greatly improved, which is also the reason why Mo Wuchen dares to provoke, otherwise, if he encounters a magical beast that is known for his agility, Mo Wuchen will definitely not hesitate to turn around and leave.
Getting closer, Mo Wuchen found that the big man was actually a large dryad covered with moss, the branches had already withered for a long time, and two blue rays of light could be seen from the tree hole, like a ghostly fire in the graveyard on a summer night, making people shudder, approaching this dryad, and the musty smell of the abscess came to his nose, choking Mo Wuchen couldn't help coughing, but soon Mo Wuchen felt bad.
Sure enough, the tree demon trembled slightly, obviously having discovered Mo Wuchen's whereabouts, Mo Wuchen had a thrill in his heart, ready to immediately use lightning to raid the flash people, and the next moment, a hoarse and dry sigh suddenly came into Mo Wuchen's ears, making Mo Wuchen's thoughts about leaving slightly stagnant.
"How many years have passed, and finally saw a living life, a little guy from afar, you are not small, such a meager strength actually dares to break into this cursed moss forest, it is your luck to be able to survive until now."
The voice of the dryad could not be heard by men and women, and it was hoarse and weak like an old man in his last years. Mo Wuchen glanced out of the corner of his eyes and found that the name on the head of this dryad was yellow, it belonged to a neutral unit, and if it was not provoked, it would generally not launch an active attack on the player.
"Hello, I'm an adventurer who got lost and strayed here, I'm sorry to disturb your cultivation, I look like you're distressed about something, is there anything I can do to help?" Mo Wuchen said respectfully, in the "Illusory World" world, the intelligence of NPCs is very high, and the intelligence of some high-grade NPCs even exceeds that of humans, and that dryad can communicate with humans normally, which is obviously not an ordinary person.
Moreover, the more high-level hidden NPCs, the greater the chance of receiving hidden tasks, which is an ironclad law that no online game will break!
[Anawin]: ???
Except for a name, he couldn't read any useful information at all, but it also made Mo Wuchen's heart feel a pang, it seems that this thing is definitely a very strong existence, proper, and he didn't run away.
However, the faint smile from the dryad made Mo Wuchen's tempting idea of wanting to take on the hidden mission suddenly cool in half: "Hehe, what a warm-hearted little guy, it's a pity that your strength is too weak to help me at all, even if you have a silver weapon on your body, get out of here quickly, this is not the place you should come before those damn things come out now." ”
Sure enough, the more advanced the hidden mission, the more demanding it is for the player, and it seems that if you don't reach a certain level, you can't accept this hidden mission.
However, although I didn't accept the hidden mission, as long as I remember this place, it will be the same if I come back in the future, this place is too hidden, and listening to the words of this dryad, it seems that the monsters here can't please even if they have silver weapons, which shows the ferocity of this place.
"Thank you for your teaching, then I'll go first." Mo Wuchen sighed in disappointment, sure enough, the hidden task would not be so easy to take. However, just as Mo Wuchen was about to leave following the route he had recorded, the dryad suddenly stopped him.
"There is a very peculiar breath in your body, which makes me feel unusually kind, clear from the dust, as if ...... Those innate beings of ancient legends, but faintly feel that there is a fairy aura that purifies all things. Although your strength is too weak, my intuition tells me that there will be a lot of extraordinary blooming in your body. Maybe you can't help me in terms of strength, so run an errand for me. ”
After that, Mo Wuchen suddenly felt that there seemed to be something more in his hand, and when he looked down, he found that in his hand, he had somehow been stuffed into a rough and dull ancient wooden staff, which was inlaid with a fist-sized luxurious purple gem, but this gem was covered with several cracks that penetrated the body, destroying the beauty of this gem completely.
[Unknown Ancient Wooden Staff]: An unknown ancient wooden staff from Anawin, which is so badly damaged that it can no longer feel the slightest fluctuation of power, only a dead silence like stagnant water.
"This ancient wooden staff is an ancient artifact left over from ancient times, and although it has been devastated, it still has a few interesting abilities, such as the ability to test the purity of the elven bloodline. If you find a purebred elf who can make the gems on the Ancient Staff glow a dazzling purple light, then please bring her to me. ”
"Ding, do you accept the mission from 'Anawin' [Finding the Lost Elvein]?"
"Of course I do!" Mo Wuchen was ecstatic and hurriedly said, only a fool would refuse this kind of pie-in-the-sky beauty.
"Thank you so much, my time is running out...... Well? ”
At this moment, the dryad suddenly let out a soft sound, and then said with a little solemnity, "I feel the breath of the creature, so I came here?" Little one, that guy has found you, and it is not advisable to stay here for long, so I will send you out of this place at once. If you find a purebred elf, use the magic branch I left you on the outskirts of the moss forest to avoid 'it' and come directly to me, go. ”
With that, a finger-long dead branch suddenly flew down from the dryad's branch and fell into Mo Wuchen's hand, and then Mo Wuchen felt a magical power envelop his body, and soon took him to a distant place.
Almost the next second Mo Wuchen was teleported away, a dark aura suddenly descended on the vicinity of the ancient tree demon, and then wandered around the ancient tree demon nearby, as if looking for something, and the ancient tree demon fell silent again, looking from a distance, it seemed to be just an inconspicuous dead tree, and the dense blue-gray moss on the trunk seemed to be silently telling the little-known story of this ancient tree's life......
The teleportation effect of the magic did not last long, and in less than a breath, the magical power that pulled on him dissipated. In an instant, the fresh air mixed with the smell of grass rushed to his face, so that Mo Wuchen couldn't help but take a greedy breath, only after experiencing the indescribable harsh environment of the moss forest can he appreciate the preciousness and beauty of the fresh air.
In the distance, there was a faint noise of people, as if to tell Mo Wuchen that the ancient tree demon had sent itself out of the moss forest.
When Mo Wuchen opened his eyes again, suddenly, several wild pheasants covered with colorful feathers broke into Mo Wuchen's field of vision, and when Mo Wuchen looked around, he was stunned to find that he had actually returned to the Wild Pheasant Ridge where he had almost abused himself into a dog.
"I'll go, this teleportation ability is pretty good, if you can have such a skill, you can save the money to buy the city scroll." Mo Wuchen rubbed his nose, suddenly raised his hand, glanced at the ancient wooden staff that was almost completely destroyed, and opened the task he had just received by the way.
[Find the Lost Elves]: Use the [Unnamed Ancient Wooden Staff] to find the purebred Elves and bring them to Anawin, bringing them back to the Elves to complete the quest, but the quest reward will be reduced by half. The duration of the mission is 3 months, and the reward of the mission is unknown. Failure Penalty: None.
In the player's race, the spirit race is an inferior branch of the elf race, of course, because it is a pure-blooded elf race, so it is naturally impossible to find a random elf to bring back, but fortunately, the task time is 3 months, so there is still plenty of time.
But for now, it's better to improve your strength first, in the "Phantom World", finding a purebred elf clan is definitely a very difficult journey, and it is far from enough to rely on the two silver weapons in your hands.
At this moment, there was a strange commotion in the distance, Mo Wuchen looked at it, and found that it was a few players wearing novice three-piece suits who were walking in groups not far away, as if they were talking about something, Mo Wuchen pretended to walk a few steps casually, and quickly understood what they were saying.
"I heard that a level 3 elite fire pheasant has been spawned there in Wild Pheasant Ridge (4453, 6742), and many people are surrounding and killing it there."
"Really? But the current players are not the opponents of the level 3 elite at all, and I can't even beat ordinary wild pheasants. One of them said embarrassedly, scratching his head.
"This level 3 elite seems to have been discovered by a leveling detachment, and the leading one seems to be called 'Maple Language', a very bullish person, who has killed a lot of people who want to get a piece of the pie."
"Cut, no matter how powerful it is, the strength of novice players is there."
"In order to snatch this elite, the people of the 'Demon Dragon Guild' have now started a fight with the team of the 'Maple Language', hurry up, hurry up, you can't even drink the soup when it's over."
"Uh-huh, hurry."
Hearing this, Mo Wuchen's original joy at getting the Silver Weapon and receiving the hidden mission disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by a fury and gloom as if a thunderstorm was coming.
"Is the 'Demon Dragon Guild'? Oh, it seems that this game is not just boring as constantly leveling up and taking on tasks. You'd better pray that my brother won't be touched by you before I arrive, and that not a single hair of his hair is more precious than your life. “
