Chapter 196 Shady

To be honest, Su Cheng really didn't know how to evaluate the task of "Mage's Request", but he was sure that this task was by no means simple.

You know, the goal of the mission is to get him to solve all the problems in the castle - but in fact, they already have a mission with similar requirements, and one mission rewards two rewards for such a good thing that the system goes wrong, Sioux City doesn't think he's going to be lucky enough to come across.

Then the problem arises, if all the problems mentioned in the "Mage's Request" did not overlap with his original mission, then presumably his original heroic mission was not intended to solve the problems in the castle.

Very logical inference. In this way, Su Cheng could even feel that the dark curtain behind the matter was like the veil of Lady Luck, slowly opening towards him, looming.

Although he still couldn't figure out what the "problem" in the mission meant, he was sure that if he hadn't received the task, he would probably have been included in the "problem" himself.

In fact, the rudimentary nature of the original mission made it completely unclear to them whether they were doing something good or not, or if they were changing things for the better.

The original mission publisher withheld some information, apparently for some shady secret. And that secret, Su Cheng guessed in his heart, was probably the "problem" that he needed to solve in the task of "Mage's Request".

Thinking about this important question, Sioux City single-mindedly led the two behind him down the hallway. At a slightly faster pace, Cindy even began to worry that her physical strength was declining too quickly. And at this moment, they finally came to a relatively wide hall.

At the junction of the hall and the corridor, dozens of pieces of knights' armor were stacked on both sides, and the armor was richly decorated. It doesn't look like equipment that can go to the battlefield, but more like collectibles, but these expensive collectibles are now in tatters like waste, and they are randomly piled up by their predecessors.

And even if it was covered in a layer of flesh and blood, it was enough for them to rest and prepare for the battle they might face after walking a long way. Sioux City thought so. At that moment, he raised his left fist and whispered to the two:

"You wait here for a while, don't raise your voice. I'll explore the hall now, and I'll talk about it when I get back. ”

The relatively obedient Pula nodded silently, while Cindy seemed slightly dissatisfied, but she also knew that the environment here was not pleasing to the protectors. Hence the wrinkled nose after that. He carefully sat down on a piece of relatively clean armor.

Seeing that the two of them agreed to this proposal, Su Cheng immediately bent down and walked briskly towards the depths of the hall. And when he landed his first kick, he was immediately frightened by the softer and smoother ground here. This kind of weird touch that seems to be stepping on jelly, if he hadn't spent a lot of time on the basic skills under his feet, he was afraid that he would have to lose face in front of a large audience.

And if it were the rest of Rox's company, not to mention fighting above, their ability to walk smoothly would be considered a meritorious part of their normal training.

The hand holding the halberd was slightly tense. Sioux City finally felt the difficulty of the heroic mission here - before stepping onto this nightmare terrain, in fact. He had always been suspicious of the water of this heroic mission. After all, whether it was a powerful evil spirit or a fast-moving xenomorph creature, it was basically to the extent that he could deal with it alone, far less than the level of [Eternal Night].

And this is not reasonable for a heroic mission of six people.

However, now Su Cheng only wants to say that the hero level is indeed the hero level, and he asked himself that if he encounters any kind of xenomorph in this kind of terrain, it is estimated that he will have to go all out to deal with it. And if you encounter those two evil spirits, you will probably have to use the buff potion on his body to fight desperately.

Walking slowly all the way forward, Su Cheng felt that his heart was beating a lot faster, and his nerves were too tense. He took a deep breath and made sure his heartbeat had stabilized again before moving forward again.

This may seem redundant, but in fact, Sioux City has to do it, because while excitement helps a little bit in the fight, it can also make people overlook some details, which is exactly what Sioux City needs in an unfamiliar environment.

Walking slowly and breathing slowly, Sioux City was as silent as a cheetah before a hunt. Due to the fact that the environment is too dark, even though he has the skill of [Dark Night Instinct], he can only see things more than ten meters away, and no matter how far away he is, he can't even tell the general appearance.

In this environment, Sioux City walked for another two or three minutes, but along the way, in addition to all kinds of strange xenomorph corpses, all that caught his eye were the corpses of those heavily armed troops of the Undead Realm.

According to the fierceness of the environment and the concentration of residual energy, the two races obviously engaged in an endless battle to the death, and when Sioux City casually approached and looked at it, almost none of the corpses were intact, and both sides went to the situation of life and death, and the corpses that were chewed and eaten were countless.

One of them was a particularly large body, and the energy concentration was still so strong that it was still dazzling beside the beast-type xenomorph, and even surrounded the corpses of several powerful professionals who had changed into human wolves, and finally was pierced through the head by an unknown creature with wings on its back, but before it died, it also slapped the lower half of the creature's body into flesh, and both sides were killed.

From what he knew, the battle that took place here was plausible, and it was inevitable from the point of view of the opposing aims of the two sides. And this is a great luck in Sioux City's eyes.

Because whichever side ultimately wins, it means that the battlefield is much less dangerous - of course, from the current intelligence, most of the victories are the xenomorphs, but even so, their numbers are estimated to be far lower than he expected.

Despite the upside, Sioux City remained calm and calm. At this time, he was more worried about the two people in the corridor, and only hoped that the two of them would not cause trouble.

It's just that when he thinks of his same pieces, Su Cheng suddenly felt a headache - Wu Feng and the two of them are fine, after all, one of them is lost, Wu Feng is afraid that he has to try his best to rescue Li Jia, and he has no time to get anything else. But Zhu Shubing and Chen Liu are in trouble enough, if these two people are not strong, it is nothing, but these two people clearly have the strength to interfere with the progress of this task, just now the system prompted the progress of the main quest to update, which is obviously the masterpiece of these two people.

Thinking about it carefully, he had the impression that although there was a lot of information in the hands of these two people, it was estimated that they did not have analytical skills, and they were easily affected by two opposite pieces of information. It's okay if you're cautious, but I'm afraid that they will continue to play that traditional online game and change the plot indiscriminately, which is the worst.

The thought flashed in his mind, but Su Cheng walked forward without hesitation. After walking for another two minutes or so, he finally saw what he was looking for in the shadows ahead.

A medium-sized red porcelain vase about one meter high.

Carefully looking around, after making sure that although the energy intensity in the vicinity was extremely high, it was all aimless and ownerless energy, Su Cheng quickly rushed forward to pick it up, and the next moment, the cold prompt sound of the system sounded in his ears:

"The player has successfully obtained the Evil Spirit Curse, and the task [Collection] has been completed 1/3, please place the other two items on the same character, otherwise the next stage of the task will not be triggered."

Holding the dark red porcelain vase tightly in one hand, Su Cheng cautiously and quickly scanned the surroundings, but he stood for a while, but the situation did not change in the slightest.

"Is it really that easy?" He raised his eyebrows and said to himself in surprise, "Really? ”

Walking back along the road in disbelief, I don't know if it was an illusion, Su Cheng suddenly felt that the air around him was cold, which made him realize a problem: this is the lair of xenos, and the evil spirit curse is the core of it, so he took the core here, whether there will be an unpredictable situation, although it is not yet known, and the system has not made a prompt, but he still feels that the situation is not optimistic.

Therefore, he consciously quickened his pace, and at the same time, when he was about to see the location of the hallway, he immediately put away the rather heavy task item in his hand.

It's just that the simpler and smoother the task, the more oppressive and uneasy he feels. In fact, the task with such an extreme difference between content and rating is the first time he has encountered it, and it is difficult to predict whether it will be good or bad.

And when the two sides were more than ten meters apart, Cindy's frightened expression confirmed that his concern was correct.

"Pula is gone! Disappeared without warning! ”

Cindy explained in a panic as she pointed to Pula's original location, "I don't know what's going on, I... I didn't do anything, she was here, but she disappeared in the blink of an eye! ”

Damn it! If someone or organization is behind all this, then Sioux City has to say that these people must have figured out their details and designed everything according to their weaknesses, waiting for them to fall into the net.

"Calm down first," Sioux City patted her gently on the shoulder and comforted her as she walked over to her side, "Don't worry, I can fix these problems." ”

......Although the relationship between the two was not good, when Pula was in danger, Cindy couldn't help but worry about her, and asked hesitantly, "Will it really be okay?" ”

"Rest assured, accidents don't happen often. And with her specialness, she should have an important place in the plot. Su Cheng stretched out his hand to Sindy and urged, "Come up, the movement with Pula just now was too slow, the time is a little short, and then we have to hurry." ”

Glancing at the location prompt that suddenly appeared in the [Collection] mission, Su Cheng's face was blank, but his heart was cold and he thought--

If you want to manipulate him as a puppet, you have to see if you have the ability. (To be continued.) )
