Thank you for the reward of the book friend "Dragon Sword World", thank you for your support!

****************************************************

Now Zhu Yan's experience has been upgraded to 98% of the eighth level, and if he fights one more at most, he can be promoted to the ninth level.

After cleaning up the bits and pieces dropped by the monsters, there are more than a dozen pieces of gray and white quality equipment, five or six pieces of green quality equipment, and three pieces of blue quality equipment.

The explosion rate here is quite high, but the surname of the item is very average, most of them are increased surname points, however, the equipment dropped is all **-level, and there should be no problem selling dozens of gold coins.

After cleaning up, Zhu Yan walked to the front of the cross and looked up, the bound NPC was motionless, his eyes were closed, and the battle just now didn't seem to attract his attention.

Reaching out and touching it, I was able to touch it, and the system also gave a hint.

System: Would you like to rescue the NPC Naughty Hunter?

After choosing to agree, a progress bar appeared in front of Zhu Yan's eyes.

Motionless, after the progress bar was finished, the rope binding the NPCs on the cross naturally fell off, and the naughty hunter slipped down from the cross, and Zhu Yan hugged it.

"Wake up, are you okay?" Zhu Yan shook slightly.

The naughty hunter's blood is still more than half, even if Zhu Yan doesn't put him down, he can support it for a long time.

The naughty hunter looked a little weak, slowly opened his eyes and glanced at Zhu Yan, and said, "...... Thank you, thank you for rescuing me, outsider! My name is Naughty Hunter, and I was caught here by the evil Alice! ”

System: You have saved the "NPC] Naughty Hunter, gain his favor, you have opened up with his reputation, current reputation: normal;

The level of the naughty hunter is only level four, the hunter profession, the helmet, cuirass and leggings on the body, the shoes are all white quality, the wrist is a green quality equipment, there are no shoulders, leggings and belts, rings, necklaces, and accessories, and there is no one, the free NPC upgrade speed is very fast, it has only been a few days, the gentle thief who was originally about the same level as Zhu Yan, the level has been pulled down by Zhu Yan a lot, and this free NPC called the naughty hunter is only level four, it seems that he has been arrested for a while.

After saving the Naughty Hunter, his HP was still slowly decreasing, and it didn't stop because he was rescued, and the wounds on his wrists and thighs were still grumbling with blood.

Zhu Yan frowned, it seems that putting him down has not been completely saved, and he must be allowed to recover completely.

"My wound has been anointed with poison by the evil Alice, it will make the blood unable to clot, the wound will not heal, outsiders, can you please help me kill the evil Alice and get the antidote from her?" The naughty hunter looked at Zhu Yan and said.

System: [NPC] The Naughty Hunter has issued you a mission to destroy Alice, do you accept it? Requirements: Kill the evil Alice, get the antidote, and save the life of the [NPC] naughty hunter! Rewards: Gain 800 points of experience for upgrading, gain 800 points of intimacy with [NPC] Naughty Hunter, Fail Mission: [NPC] Naughty Hunter dies! Note: This quest may have a serious impact on the Unholy Alliance forces, and if you fail, it may reduce your reputation in the Unholy Alliance's faction, so choose carefully!

Being able to meet free NPCs and make friends with them is an unavoidable thing in the game, as for the impact of failure, in Zhu Yan's dictionary, there is never the word failure! Zhu Yan smiled slightly, ignored the bright red note on the back of the task, and happily chose to be sure.

"Do you know anything about that Alice?" Zhu Yan asked.

Since he was captured by Alice, he must know some of Alice's situation, at the very least, Alice's level, occupation, blood and skills, and other information, should know something.

"Three days ago, I tried in the Black Mist Forest, and when I walked to the depths of the forest, I was attacked by an ancient tree, and that ancient tree was made by the evil Alice, and the difference in strength between me and her was too great, and I had no power to fight back, and I was quickly knocked out by her, and when I woke up, I found that I had been hung here!" The Naughty Hunter said weakly.

Can you transform into an ancient tree? What kind of profession is this?

Zhu Yan was a little puzzled.

"What are her means of attack?" Zhu Yan then asked.

"She has transformed into an ancient tree, she has a winding skill, which can stretch out the roots of the tree from the ground and entangle people, causing continuous damage while not being able to move, the duration is about three seconds, and at the same time, she will also throw some medicine bottles, which will cause range damage at the same time, it will produce all kinds of bad effects, and more, I don't know, as for whether she has other means of attack, you need to find out by yourself." Naughty Hunter said.

Transform into an ancient tree and entangle.

I wish Yan a flash of inspiration, the druid profession will be able to learn the skill of transforming into a tree man in the future, could it be that this Alice's profession is a druid?

Zhu Yan took out two pieces of bread and traded them to the naughty hunter.

As a free NPC, he is able to consume recovery items such as bread and milk, but unfortunately there is no primary life potion, otherwise he can replenish his life by giving him a few bottles.

However, looking at the weak appearance of the naughty hunter, even if his life is replenished, I am afraid that he will not be able to recover his combat strength immediately, and he will have to take action himself in the end.

"I'm going to destroy that evil Alice, you're waiting for me here!" After Zhu Yan finished speaking, he walked towards the small wooden house with green smoke on the chimney in the depths of the plantation.

"You must kill the Guardians of the Plantation in order to destroy Alice, or they will besiege you in the battle with Alice!" The naughty hunter hurriedly said.

Zhu Yan originally meant to kill Alice, and then go back and slowly clean up those guardians, and after hearing the words of the naughty hunter, he quickly stopped.

"The outsiders, the humans bound to the cross, are also a bunch of poor people, can you save them when you destroy the guardians?" Naughty Hunter said.

System: [NPC] Naughty Hunter issues a mission to you to save. Requirements: Save at least three humans, task reward: gain 100 points of friendship with [NPC] Naughty Hunter, for each human rescued, gain 10 points of friendship with [NPC] Naughty Hunter, and if the mission fails, reduce the friendship with [NPC] Naughty Hunter by 100 points;

This task is just easy to do, it is easy to do, and the task reward is not very rich, however, it can improve the favorability with free NPCs, Zhu Yan still intends to complete it.

After the choice was confirmed, Zhu Yan began to sweep up the "Plantation Guardians" in the plantation.

Summon a dark bird of prey and transform into a wolf

Lure them out one by one, and then surround them, as long as you are careful not to draw out more than two at a time, Zhu Yan can kill them.

The skills of the guardian are already familiar to Zhu Yan, as long as you pay attention to them, you can easily dodge them.

After killing a Guardian, Zhu Yan's level was increased to level nine, his family name was increased a bit, his HP and mana were restored, and the upper limit was slightly increased.

Continue to farm monsters, at the beginning, these guardians can also drop some items, but the further they go, the lower the value of the items dropped, and in the end only a few copper coins are dropped, and no more items are dropped, and in the last few, they don't even drop copper coins.

Every time he destroys a monster around a cross, Zhu Yan rescues the bound NPCs, however, these NPCs are obviously not free NPCs, and they can't talk to Zhu Yan normally, every time Zhu Yan talks to them, they say back and forth: "Thank you for saving me from the evil Alice, warrior!" The other sentence is, "Don't fight Alice until you have wiped out these monsters!" ”

These two sentences are a reminder to the player, however, Zhu Yan has already learned about this information from the naughty hunter, so he doesn't care much about it.

These NPCs can't use milk and bread like free NCPs, so Zhu Yan had to put them under the cross for the time being, however, since the NPCs were put down, the speed of life loss has been greatly reduced, and they can support it for a long time, which also makes Zhu Yan feel at ease, lest they die one by one and make his second mission fail.

However, there are more than a dozen crosses, and the monsters have to be printed out one by one to knock them out, which is very time-consuming, and the HP of the NPCs that have been put down in the end has been reduced to one-tenth, and I am afraid it will be difficult to hold on until Alice is killed and the antidote is obtained.

This is also a matter of no choice, unless Zhu Yan can add blood skills, otherwise, these NPCs will only have a dead end in the end.

After clearing the guardians in the plantation, Zhu Yan's experience had increased to 58% of the ninth level, and in just a few hours, he had actually increased his experience by half of the ninth level, which made Zhu Yan feel happy, and at the same time made him greedy to find a few more secret realms.

There was only one boss left, Zhu Yan walked quickly to the hut, and before he could get close, he heard a shrill shrill laugh from the small cabin in the middle.

"Hahaha, someone is too self-sufficient to come and provide nourishment for my plantation!"

The door to the hut opened, and an old woman dressed as a witch stepped out of it.

This old woman with gray hair, a wrinkled face, a purple outfit, a pointed wizard's hat on her head, and a pair of shining silver claws on her two withered arms, this old woman is none other than Alice, the biggest boss in the secret realm.

"Little guy, I feel that your blood is full of surging vitality, quack quack~, I can't wait to use your blood to water my lovely plants."

After Alice finished speaking, she took out a blue potion from her arms and threw it at Zhu Yan.

Bang~

The potion bottle smashed less than a meter away from Zhu Yan, and a puff of blue smoke rose up.

Zhu Yan's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly stepped back, but he was still stained with some smoke.

Suddenly, Zhu Yan felt that his movement speed had become a little slower.

Looking at the status bar, there is already a "5% movement speed reduction" bad status.

"Quack~" Alice's voice was sharp and harsh, and then, she threw out several potion bottles, which exploded around Zhu Yan.

Each potion bottle caused a certain amount of magic damage to Zhu Yan, however, the damage caused by this large-scale magic was very low and almost negligible, but the adverse effects caused by these potions made Zhu Yan feel a headache.

Now, in Zhu Yan's status bar, there are seven or eight undesirable effects.
