Chapter 287: Inhumans

The defender's move made Xia Hao temporarily suppress the idea of summoning the divine guard.

The Divine Guard is Xia Hao's last card, which can only be used in an emergency, and now that there are guardians to make a move, let's see how effective they are.

"Give us strength!" As the guardians knelt reverently, the bodies of the fourteen guardians glowed with the same light at the same time, and then as the light blended with each other, the guardians gradually merged together, becoming a monstrous and huge guardian - the War Guard.

"Flying spear!" The War God Guard suddenly shot out a huge iron spear, instantly stabbing the tentacle that was slapping Xia Hao and them in two, rolling to the ground.

The Night King let out a shrill scream, and his tentacles flew and slapped at the War Guard. This level of battle is completely beyond the reach of existing players, and Xia Hao and them can only be spectators from the sidelines.

It's a pity that the system won't let the player be idle, and with the roar of the King of the Demon Night, monsters such as the Demon Night Wolf and the Demon Night Tiger have poured out around it, killing Xia Hao and the others with a fierce momentum.

After the appearance of monsters such as the Demon Night Wolf, there were also Lord Monsters such as the Demon Night Wolf King and the Demon Night Phantom Tiger King who appeared, with such a large number of monsters, plus those powerful lords, this is by no means an existence that Xia Hao and they can deal with at present, it is estimated that they will tear Xia Hao and the others apart in an instant.

"In the name of God, I bestow your blessings!" When the arms of the war god guard flew, one by one the halos emitting golden light appeared at Xia Hao's feet, and then Xia Hao found that they were!

"I feel that my strength is so strong that I can break the sky!"

"Haha, it's against the sky!"

After putting on the golden aura, players immediately found that their attribute values exploded, and the monsters of the night that originally needed to fight for a long time only needed to be cut a few times before they hung to the ground.

Xia Hao estimated that this attribute value can only be possessed by players after breaking through level 50, but they didn't expect that the aura blessing of the War God Guard would allow them to enjoy such a powerful attribute in advance, and they finally had the strength to fight with those lord monsters.

After Xia Hao's attributes were greatly improved, he secretly tried to attack the King of the Demon Night, and as he expected, his attack could not fall on the King of the Demon Night at all, and was directly dodged.

"The King of the Demon Night can't be beaten, so I have to deal with the lord monster first." Xia Hao thought secretly.

There are a total of fourteen lord monsters, and after Xia Hao and the others quickly cleaned up the ordinary monsters, they confronted these lord monsters head-on.

After Xia Hao's attributes were improved, it was not too difficult to deal with these lord monsters at the same time.

The battle on the other side was much more intense.

The King of the Demon Night and the War Divine Guard each showed their abilities and fought against each other, but Xia Hao could faintly feel that the Demon Night King had an absolute advantage, and every time its tentacles were launched, it would bring up earth-shattering power.

Although Xia Hao paid attention to the battle of the Demon Night King, he also knew that he couldn't interfere, so he bravely killed those lord-level monsters. The Demon Night Wolf King, the Demon Night Phantom Tiger King, and others were killed one by one, but unfortunately, these monsters didn't explode anything. This should have something to do with the aura improvement on Xia Hao's body, after all, they are not using their original strength now.

As time passed, Xia Hao and the others finally solved these lords, and then stood aside to watch the battle between the Demon Night King and the War God Guard.

Suddenly, Xia Hao noticed a strange scene, the tentacle that had been pierced by the War God Guard just now was slowly rolling on the ground, as if it wanted to get into a crack in the ground. There were cracks on the ground, Xia Hao was not surprised at all, the King of the Demon Night had just drilled out of the underground of the temple, so it would naturally leave a little crack.

But why did the tentacles want to burrow into the ground?

Xia Hao looked around, and the others didn't seem to notice this, he gritted his teeth, rushed up, and stabbed the tentacle with a spear, with a crisp sound, the huge tentacle disappeared like smoke, leaving a thin finger on the ground!

There was something strange about that finger, a little different from a human finger.

Xia Hao picked up this finger and unexpectedly received a prompt from the system: "You have obtained the index finger of the King of the Demon Night." ”

That tentacle is the finger of the Night King? How many fingers does this thing have? Xia Hao looked at the grass-like tentacles around the King of the Demon Night speechlessly, and complained secretly.

Why does this finger want to go back underground?

With such a question, Xia Hao found a slightly wider crack and peeked down.

"Huh, there's a glow down there?" After Xia Hao saw the bright light coming from the ground, his spirit was shocked, he greeted the others in the team, and quietly touched the place where the Demon Night King broke the ground just now, where there was a huge hole, but it was pitch black below.

Xia Hao didn't think about it, he jumped down directly, he was 100% sure that there was some secret hidden underground, maybe there were treasures collected by the King of the Demon Night!

Xia Hao fell directly into the pitch-black hole, and the sound of fighting above was instantly isolated. The silent and damp ground cave couldn't see his five fingers, but in the distance ahead, Xia Hao saw a bright light, he rushed forward, and soon reached the bright light, and a hidden wooden door appeared in front of him.

"Haha, hiding so hidden, there must be some treasure!" Xia Hao pushed the door in, and a musty smell immediately entered his nose.

The dilapidated room was full of messy items, and there was not even a place to put his feet, after Xia Hao entered the door, he saw at a glance the stone platform covered with black inscriptions in the left corner of the room, on which was placed an ancient and old half-human-high book alone, from the open page, Xia Hao saw that a monster was depicted on it, and its appearance was the king of the magic night who was raging outside, and next to this picture, there were tadpole-like words written.

"The King of the Night is too lonely, just draw yourself and play if you have nothing to do?" Xia Hao reached out and touched the ancient book, flipped it, and wanted to look at other pages, but he didn't expect to receive a prompt from the system at this time.

System: You flipped through the Dark Archive.

"The Dark Archive? I don't seem to have heard of this thing......" Xia Hao was talking to himself, when he heard a terrible cry from the side, and a black shadow suddenly pounced.

Xia Hao was not afraid, and directly stabbed with the war spear in his hand, and when the black shadow was stabbed, he let out a miserable scream again, turned around and wanted to escape, but he happened to be frozen by the bald strong frost ring.

Xia Hao's eyes widened as he looked at the short black shadow that opened its teeth and claws but couldn't move a bit, its height was only as high as Xia Hao's leg bend, there was a very ugly face, with a human arm, and the index finger of his left hand was broken at the root, and it was still dripping with blood.

How is this guy similar to the appearance of the Zhutian Clan? However, there are still some differences between the two, Xia Hao thought to himself.

"Human, you dare to offend my great Night King, prepare to bear my wrath!" The dark shadow shouted.

Ha? What does this thing say, it's the Lord of the Night? Did I hear me right? Xia Hao plucked out his ears in disbelief, and then looked at the short guy.

If Xia Hao had a choice, he would rather believe that the mollusk outside was the king of the night than that clown-like miniature creature was the king of the night.

But this voice, Xia Hao is very familiar, he clearly remembers that this sentence was heard once when the King of the Demon Night appeared just now, he thought it was said by the huge slime-like King of the Night outside, and now it seems that it is very likely to be said by the thing in front of him.

"You say you're the Lord of the Night?" Xia Hao looked at the pocket monster condescendingly, and the weapon in his hand smashed over like a storm, "With your appearance, you dare to pretend to be the King of the Demon Night, no matter who you are, kill you first!" ”

Xia Hao still has the aura given by the God of War on his body, and with the bonus of that aura, his attribute value is off the charts, and the terrifying attack directly makes the monster scream, and the attributes of this Demon Night King are very poor, just like an ordinary little monster, Xia Hao went down a few spears, and its blood volume bottomed out.

"Human, I, the Lord of the Night, will return! Then you will bear the wrath of me! When the monster's life was about to be emptied, he let out an unwilling roar, and his body suddenly turned into a dazzling blue flame, exploded, and escaped with lightning speed.

Almost at the moment when the monster fled, Xia Hao heard a system prompt that made him stunned.

System: You have successfully defeated the Night King.

Is that little man really the King of the Night?

And scared away by me?

After Xia Hao received the prompt that Wen Renxi's mission was completed, he still couldn't believe that the Demon Night King who was blowing up the sky almost died under his spear!

Why is there such a big difference in the strength of the Night King? It can't be because I cut off a finger, right? Although he still had doubts in his heart, Xia Hao had no way to pursue it, he searched the room, and finally only got the half-human-high ancient book, and Xia Hao couldn't get other items at all.

System: You have obtained the Dark Secret Book, which contains some forbidden dark secret methods.

Xia Hao looked through the so-called dark secret book, and found that the words on it were all tadpole scripts, he couldn't understand them at all, so he put them away, and then turned the hiding place of the Demon Night King upside down, but found nothing other valuable.

Back on the ground, Xia Hao found that the tentacle monster was long gone, and the War God Guard composed of the guardians had also disappeared. According to Wen Renxi, the tentacle monster burst like a bubble shortly after he entered the ground, and then the War God Guard, composed of guardians, also collapsed.

The War Divine Guard disappeared, and the aura of the blessed attribute on Xia Hao's body naturally disappeared.

"Our mission is to kill the Night King, and although we haven't killed it yet, the mission hint has been completed, and we will be forced to leave here in a few moments." Wen Renxi said.

Sure enough, as Wen Renxi said, they were quickly sent back to the main city, appearing in front of a diminutive NPC who was about the size of the Night King.

This person is the person who issued the task.

Wen Renxi talked to him and submitted the task, and Xia Hao and the others quickly received the reward from the system, which was nothing more than some materials and a level 30 bronze.

At this point, the task is completed.

Xia Hao felt a little strange, the task of the Demon Night Ruins seemed to be a bit too anticlimactic, the difficulty of the task at the beginning of their time was so high, but the task of the last level was extremely easy, and even the task rewards were a little unsatisfactory.

Or is it only the quest taker who gets a great reward? Xia Hao looked at Wen Renxi's satisfied expression and thought secretly.

"Maybe it's my delusion, right?" Xia Hao shook his head.

At the end of the task, in the warehouse of the main city, according to the previous agreement, Wen Renxi paid Xiao Ming several precious materials of extremely high value as the reward for the task, and then Wen Renxi and they went to get busy.

Xia Hao originally wanted to leave, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this mission was a bit strange, and in the end, the Night King escaped and was not killed, will there be a follow-up?

With such suspicions, Xia Hao came to the task publisher alone, and then took out the index finger of the King of the Demon Night.

"I seem to feel that this finger is emitting an extremely evil dark power!" The task publisher didn't wait for Xia Hao to speak, so he said murderously.

There is a door!

Xia Hao was secretly happy in his heart, and hurriedly explained: "This is what I cut off from the King of the Demon Night!" ”

"As I expected, the Night King used the secret method recorded in the Dark Secret Codex!" The person who issued the task looked serious.

Secret method?

That should be the real Night King's method of summoning that tentacle monster, right?

After thinking about it, Xia Hao took out the dark secret codex.

"It's the Dark Archive! You've retrieved the Dark Archive! The quest publisher was overjoyed, "Give me the Dark Vault in your hand, and you can choose one of these items as compensation." ”

As the task publisher spoke, a list of items popped up in front of Xia Hao.

At a glance, Xia Hao was suddenly a little surprised, these items in front of him were all gold! In front of Xia Hao, there were a total of three rows, nine columns, and twenty-seven dazzling gold objects, and the light on them was even more intoxicating.

Although Xia Hao is not an uninformed hillbilly, he was also surprised to see so many gold objects at one time.

"If you give me all these golden artifacts, I'll give you the Dark Archive." Xia Hao said tentatively.

The anger on the mission's publisher's face flickered, but he quickly suppressed it, "The Dark Archive uses ancient scripts, and you can't read them, so it's useless to keep them. Well, I'll be kind enough to allow you to compensate for three of these gold vessels! ”

Three pieces of gold!

If it is an ordinary player, it will definitely not hesitate to hand over the Dark Secret Book at this moment, after all, for ordinary players, it is a useless book, so it is naturally better to exchange it for a few powerful pieces of equipment.

But Xia Hao shook his head and rejected the proposal of the task publisher.

In fact, Xia Hao just opened his mouth to ask for all the gold artifacts, just to test the desire of the mission publisher for the Dark Secret Archive, and when he heard that he was allowed to choose three gold artifacts from them, Xia Hao was sure in his heart that this Dark Secret Archive must be a very valuable item.

"Since you won't exchange it with me, ask for more blessings for yourself! Don't blame me for not reminding you, the Night King must have obtained a lot of secret magic from the Dark Archive, and he will not spare you easily when he is humiliated by you in the ruins of the Night! The task publisher sneered and said to Xia Hao, and then disappeared with a single figure.

Xia Hao's face changed, the reaction of the publisher of this task seemed a little strange, it stands to reason that the Dark Secret Archive is so important, he shouldn't continue to negotiate terms with himself, why did he just leave?

Shaking his head, Xia Hao put away the index finger of the King of the Demon Night and the Dark Secret Codex, and then thought carefully about how to read the words recorded on the Dark Codex.

According to what the task publisher said just now, the Dark Secret Archive was written in ancient characters, and in Xia Hao's memory, it seems that there are really special NPCs in the game who specialize in interpreting ancient characters, that is, university scholars in every main city.

Soon, Xia Hao found a university scholar in the main city.

The university scholar was very happy when he heard that Xia Hao wanted to learn ancient characters, and then recommended a lot of books to Xia Hao.

Of course, these books are not free, and Xia Hao needs to spend money to buy them.

There are ten books in total, and each one requires dozens of gold coins, which is even more expensive than learning the skills of the system!

This is also fortunate that Xia Hao, who is not short of money, is an ordinary player, and he has no spare money to buy these useless books.

After buying a bunch of books about ancient characters, Xia Hao flipped through them one by one in the order given by the scholars, and every time he opened a book, there were systematic prompts for mastering special characters. As Xia Hao opened the last book, he finally heard the news that he had mastered the ancient script.

Bidding farewell to the university scholars, Xia Hao came to a corner where there were few people, and then took out the dark secret book.

Mastering the ancient characters, Xia Hao finally understood the content recorded in the Dark Secret Dictionary.

As the previous task publisher said, what is recorded in this dark secret book is indeed a kind of secret technique, and these secret techniques feel very evil at a glance, such as the tentacle monster that Xia Hao once saw, if you want to summon it, you not only need to use part of yourself as a medium, but also need materials such as eyeballs and brains, which makes people shudder.

"Isn't there a normal and simple secret technique?" Xia Hao muttered, flipping through the pages of the Dark Secret Archive, the various secret techniques he saw not only required a great price, but also required a wide variety of materials, but also very difficult to obtain, which seemed to be very troublesome.

"Huh? Is this the secret art of rebirth? When Xia Hao saw this secret technique, his heart suddenly moved, and he couldn't help but stop and examine it carefully.

Rebirth, this is Xia Hao's biggest secret, at this time, he saw the secret of rebirth on the dark secret book, he naturally had to study it carefully. However, Xia Hao soon discovered that this rebirth was not the rebirth of the other, and this secret technique should have nothing to do with his own rebirth, because this rebirth is to allow the player to reincarnate into a certain race in the game.

"This rebirth secret technique should be the easiest secret technique I have seen so far." Xia Hao looked at the conditions for casting the secret technique of rebirth, it only had one spell and a special sacrificial material.

"I'll give it a try for the time being, see if I can use the secret method on this dark secret codex, if I can really use it, then I will make a lot of money this time, otherwise I will spend so much money learning ancient characters in vain." Xia Hao decided to do an experiment.

Special sacrificial material, and must be part of a living being?

Xia Hao looked at the request for sacrificial materials, and suddenly glanced at the finger of the Demon Night King in the package, and immediately made a decision in his heart: "Just take this finger and try it." ”

The Night King's finger was placed on the Dark Secret Archive by Xia Hao, and then he opened his mouth and slowly spit out the obscure spell.

Just as Xia Hao's spell was finished with difficulty, a dazzling light suddenly erupted on the dark secret codex, and then engulfed the index finger of the Demon Night King, and then a pure black light was thrown into Xia Hao's body, and the next moment Xia Hao lost all vision.

I don't know how long it took, Xia Hao woke up faintly.

Well?

Where is this?

Xia Hao unconsciously groaned, rolled over and got up, looking around. This was a dark hole in the ground, and the damp and rotten musty smell penetrated into Xia Hao's nostrils along a slight breeze, and there seemed to be a bright light shining in the direction of the corner in the distance.

Walking up the stairs around the corner, a hole appears in front of you. Xia Hao shielded the dazzling sunlight with one hand, and looked up at the surrounding majestic mountains, which were oppressive in Xia Hao's eyes. From Xia Hao's angle, only a narrow gap could be seen in the blue skylight, and the continuous crack was like a giant mouth that wanted to be devoured.

Xia Hao noticed that something was wrong, he seemed to be a lot shorter all of a sudden.

"Hah! Are you awake? A slightly surprised voice sounded behind Xia Hao.

Xia Hao turned his head and saw a dwarf, only about thirty or forty centimeters, with a rough face that was very immature, like a miniature version of a child.

Zhutian Clan?

No, it seems that there is a clear difference with the Zhutian Clan, although the height of the two sides is about the same, but there is a decisive difference in appearance characteristics, but it belongs to the same race as the King of the Demon Night.

A race very similar to the Zhutian Clan?

Xia Hao thought about it, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, remembering another race, the Inhuman race!

The Inhumans, in fact, are a branch of the Zhutian Clan, and they are also proficient in utensils, but the field they are good at is completely different from the Zhutian Clan, and they like to make all kinds of daily tools, such as cars, rice cookers, and other items.

It was precisely because of this difference in ideas that the Inhumans broke away from the Xutian Race and formed a completely new race.

In the previous life, the Inhumans almost never appeared in the game, and it seems that only one player once used a very stylish sports car as a means of transportation in the game, so the Inhumans were short-lived, and Xia Hao didn't know much about this special race.

In retrospect, the Night King was also an Inhuman!

It seems that Xia Hao was reborn as an Inhuman because he used the Demon Night King's index finger as a sacrifice material.

In the state of the Inhuman race, Xia Hao completely has a new attribute panel, and he is an out-and-out new Inhuman race.

The secret methods on the Dark Archive can really be used!

After Xia Hao's surprise, he suddenly realized another problem.

How is this going to be the way it was?

Xia Hao was a little confused. (To be continued.) )
