Chapter 1: The Forest of Despair

"Ups and downs" virtual online game, Jiuding Continent, the wild monster area in the southwest of the main city of Gale Valley - Desperate Forest.

"Let my brother follow me all the way like a thief, and these boys have finally arrived at the place." Level 5 mage player Xiao Ran hid behind a dense wild artemisia all night, squinting his eyes and muttering quietly.

Following his gaze, he saw four or five players talking about something in front of the woods not far ahead.

"Captain, now that you are the only one in our team to level 5, wouldn't it be too dangerous to come to the level 6 leveling area of the Forest of Despair to do tasks?" A level 4 priest player asked the level 5 Berserker player next to him with a gloomy face.

"What are you afraid of!" Without waiting for the berserker player to answer, the level 3 thief player next to him called "Knife Random Poke" rushed to say, "The boss is about to be upgraded to level 6 now, plus the black iron plate armor leg guards that we burst out from that paladin kid today, he is wearing a black iron suit!" Level 6 wild monsters are in front of our boss, that is a group of rookies! Right, Boss? ”

"Well, Knife is right. With my current 'measurements' (attributes), it shouldn't be a problem to deal with level 6 monsters. The captain of this player squad, a level 5 berserker player, "Please start heavier" confidently touched his tomahawk.

"But in addition to the level 6 wild monsters in the wild monster area of the Desperate Forest, there are also level 7 or even level 8 elite monsters, in case we are unlucky enough to run into one, wouldn't it be the rhythm of waiting for the group to be wiped out?" The priest player who just spoke "add you a face of blood" is still not at ease.

"It's okay." "As far as I know, the number of elite monsters in the Forest of Despair is extremely rare, and the chances of us encountering those 'evil stars' are very low. Besides, even if we run into elite monsters, we can fight if we can beat them, and if we can't beat them, we can run! ”

"The boss is the boss, wise!" The thief's knife stabbed him in the thigh and gave him a thumbs up. The two level 4 hunter players next to him also nodded their heads repeatedly.

"Ming, your sister!" The priest player rolled his eyes and scolded in his heart, "In our five-person squad, a berserker, a thief, two hunters, plus me, the priest. In case you run into an elite monster that can't be handled, a berserker has a charge skill and is gone, and a thief has a disappearing skill to forcibly get out of battle and sneak away, and the two hunters throw their pets in front of the elite monster and scatter the girl, and let the elite monster practice me alone A short-legged priest! ”

Just when you were secretly slandering yourself, the captain of this player squad asked to start and speak again.

"Brothers, it's not easy for us to receive this hidden mission. Not to mention anything else, the mission deposit just paid to that hidden NPC is three gold coins! That's all the savings that our team has worked on for more than a week! If the mission is not completed, the three gold coins will be fed to the dogs. Therefore, we can only succeed in today's task, and we must not fail! Everyone's cheer up! ”

After listening to the words of please be more serious, the priest and your face of blood have already scolded this kid in his heart.

"Spirit, your uncle! What are we doing, is it the hidden mission you received yourself, okay? Relying on the fact that he is the cousin of the president of our guild, this kid really thinks of himself as the boss! Damn, if it weren't for the president who promised me the position of head of the elite group, I wouldn't have bothered to be a wet nurse for you second goods! Bring practice and practice, it also depends on who brings it! With so many cattle leveling who don't operate, don't know, don't cooperate, and don't discipline, and bully other players under the banner of the guild all day long, it's okay to be aggrieved, the key is to fucking shame! ”

Add your blood to scold in your heart, but the president's face still has to be dropped! After all, his Easy Guild is also well-known in the ups and downs game, and the head of the elite group is a "feudal official" in the guild, and it is said that there is a bonus subsidy or something for a good job, and he is considered to be the top half of the professional players.

Thinking of this, your bloody face looks better. He said no more, and followed him without saying a word, and headed towards the Forest of Despair.

Seeing this guild team pulling out into the Forest of Despair, Xiao Ran, a mage player hiding in the wild artemisia bushes, immediately came to his senses overnight!

"Aha! Finally getting in? I have to hurry up and prepare......" Xiao Ran quickly drilled out of the wild artemisia bushes overnight. I saw him put the wide pointed hat of the robe on his head, and quietly touched into the Forest of Despair from another path.

Despair Forest, although the name sounds a bit crazy, this leveling area is actually a beautiful primeval forest.

After entering the Forest of Despair, Xiao Ran immediately rushed all the way to the depths of the forest overnight.

Swimming up a quiet stream, Xiao Ran came to a small waterfall overnight.

This small waterfall flows down from the cliff more than ten meters high, and falls into the small two-acre square pool at the bottom of the cliff. The mist stirred up by the splash of water is illuminated by the sunlight, turning into a beautiful rainbow that connects the cliffs and waterholes.

There are no aquatic monsters in the crystal clear waterholes. The turquoise aquatic plants are swaying at the bottom of the pool, schools of fish are leisurely swimming among the aquatic plants, the waterhole is lined with green trees, the wild flowers are fragrant, and butterflies and bees are dancing up and down among the flowers.

But Xiao Ran didn't come here to enjoy the mountains and rivers overnight. When the boy came to the waterhole, he was busy working on the grass by the pool.

I saw him quickly take off the gray robe on his body and stuff it into his backpack, and then took out a wide black cloak and covered himself tightly.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Ran took out a delicate white mask from his backpack overnight.

Looking at the white mask in his hand, Xiao Ran seemed to remember something all night, he raised his head and looked at the rainbow above the waterhole, and sighed lightly.

"The dead old man is really stingy, and he doesn't want to get me an epic god costume or something, a deceitful mask can be used for a fart......"

Muttering to himself, Xiao Ran slowly lifted the white mask in his hand overnight, preparing to put this thing on his face.

At this moment, there was a slight noise in the dense forest behind Xiao Ran overnight. I saw a pair of eyes shining with a faint green light flashing in the wild grass more than one person high!

Immediately afterwards, a huge hideous wolf head poked out of the grass, and above the wolf's head, which was larger than the brown bear's head, a row of bright red characters stood out!

Timberwolf King (Level 8 Elite Monster)!

At this moment, the Timber Wolf King was staring at his pair of bronze bell-sized dark green wolf eyes, staring at Xiao Ran's back all night!

Xiao Ran's one night this kid is really unlucky. Looking at the entire Desperate Forest Monster Area, there will definitely not be more than three level 8 elite monsters like the Timberwolf King, but he just ran into such a "big evil star" today!

I saw the Timber Wolf King tiptoeing out of the grass and quietly touching Xiao Ran more than twenty meters away.

When the Timberwolf King came out of the grass, its huge body with a height of more than 2 meters at the shoulder and a length of more than 5 meters made people shudder. I saw that the muscles of its whole body were tense, a large mouth full of sharp fangs was slightly open, and the viscous hara fell to the ground along the corners of the mouth, ready to pounce on its prey at any time.

The Timberwolves slowly approached Xiao Ran overnight, 20 meters, 15 meters, 10 meters......

"Huh? Why is the back of the spine suddenly a little cold? Xiao Ran shuddered all night and muttered to himself.

At this moment, the Timber Wolf King, who quietly touched Xiao Ran behind him overnight, suddenly attacked! I saw that its tooth let out a low roar, and it swooped towards Xiao Ran's back overnight!

Hearing a wolf howl behind him, Xiao Ran, a big grinning guy, finally reacted.

Say it's too late, then it's too soon! I saw Xiao Ran turn around suddenly overnight, and took out a thick and long white staff from his backpack at a lightning speed!

Xiao Ran seemed to have forgotten that he was just a level 5 little mage overnight. In the face of the Timber Wolf King, he was not afraid at all, and with a roar, he raised the white staff in his hand with a strange shape!

"Dare to sneak attack brother! Look at the moves! ”

There was no dazzling flame of the fireball, no blue light of the ice arrow, only a flash of white light in mid-air! The white staff whirled and swirled and smashed into the Timberwolf King's head!

it! I've seen a melee mage, but I've never seen a mage who uses a staff as a hidden weapon! What's going on with this Nima?

A minute later.

Xiao Ran, who was wearing a black cloak, stood by the waterhole unharmed all night. The guy seemed to have put on his white mask and was bending over to look in the "mirror" at the calm water.

And the Timberwolf King crawled motionless at his feet, and it seemed that this "big evil star" had been taken care of by Xiao Ran's kid in the night.

No way? A level 5 little mage threw out his staff and killed the level 8 elite monster Timber Wolf King in seconds! If this scene is seen by other mage players......

"Uncle's ...... As a colleague, will we be able to have fun together in the future? The tearful mage friends collectively gave up the treatment.

tilted his head to the water for a long time, and Comrade Xiao Ran, the "hidden weapon mage" who was so powerful in the sky, was finally satisfied.

"Hey! I said, it's almost time, I guess those adventurers should be there, shouldn't you foodie do something serious? Xiao Ran turned around overnight and raised his foot and kicked the "corpse" of the Timberwolf King next to him.

was kicked by Xiao Ran's kid all night, and the motionless Timberwolf King actually "cheated the corpse"! I saw it raise its huge wolf head and let out a low howl of dissatisfaction towards Xiao Ran.

"Whew......"

"What's the matter? I have given you the big bones that I have treasured for many years, hurry up and ......" Xiao Ran raised his foot impatiently and kicked the Timberwolf King again.

At this time, the timberwolf king reluctantly stood up from the ground. As soon as it let go, a large thick and long white bone fell to the ground.

I'll it! This, this, this...... Isn't this big white bone the "white staff" that Xiao Ran just threw out overnight?

I saw that the timberwolf king dug a pit with his front paws three times and two times, took the big white bone into the pit and buried it, and then raised his head and wagged his tail at Xiao Ran as if he was flattering all night, and then turned around and ran towards the dense forest. The back of the toa-and-pound trot, like a pug!

Belch...... Is this still the majestic level 8 elite monster Timberwolf King in the Desperate Forest?

This Nima ...... Can you call it "prosperous wealth"?

However, Xiao Ran seemed to be accustomed to this situation all night, and he stretched out a big lazy waist boredly, and slowly turned around.

I saw that Xiao Ran's originally young and somewhat small face had turned into an old man's face full of wrinkles and vicissitudes. What's even more outrageous is that the player game ID "Xiao Ran One Night (Level 5 Mage)" on this guy's head has now become:

"Master in Black Robe (Hidden NPC)!"

From the first step into the Forest of Despair, you have a bloody face and vigilantly watch the wind and grass around you. He followed closely behind him with his staff in hand, ready to deal with any unexpected situation.

As for the titular captain of their squad, please be more serious, this kid seems to be very confident in himself in a black iron suit. At this moment, he is walking at the front of the team with his head held high, once he sees the level 6 forest wolf monster, this kid doesn't say a word, burying his head is a charge skill to kill the past!

Along the way, they have been relatively smooth with the name of the "Easy Guild" leveling team. Except for the level 6 timberwolf monsters, they didn't even see a single hair on the elite monsters.

"What did I just say? Elite monsters are not cabbages in the vegetable market, where it is so easy to encounter! An axe slashed over a level 6 timber wolf with residual blood, and the golden light on his body flashed and he rose to level 6, please start and say more complacently.

"That's it! When did the boss's judgment go wrong? Besides, with the boss's current strength, even if he encounters elite monsters, those brutes are here to send experience and drops! Before the words fell, the thief's knife immediately followed.

This sycophant please start heavier Shu Tai he pretended to be modest and waved his hand at the knife indiscriminately, and then turned his head to give you a bloody glance.

Now that you have been promoted to level 5, you still have a gloomy face on your face. He symbolically brushed the Holy Healing Technique and continued to look around the environment, seemingly not taking the captain who had just been promoted to level 6 in his eyes at all.

In the leveling team, except for the "dead face" priest who added you a face of blood, the other three people are all more real-world followers. As a rich second generation, please start heavier, and I have long been accustomed to commanding and drinking. If it weren't for his cousin, the president of the Easy Guild, who repeatedly emphasized that this guy is a master with a bloody face, please start to do it again, and this faceless nurse would have been lined up a long time ago.

"Damn, what are you pretending to be in front of Lao Tzu! If it weren't for my cousin's face, I would have kicked you out of the team a long time ago. Master, high your sister! Seeing that he was being ignored again, he rolled his eyes and scolded in his heart.

But scolding and scolding, plus your bloody pastor operation, please start heavier or have nothing to say. Take the matter of being besieged by three level 6 timber wolves just now because he was careless, if you hadn't added blood to your face several times to give him blood in seconds, please start to fight hard in front of the wolf's teeth and wolf claws!

"Forget it, wait until Lao Tzu completes the hidden task and gets the hidden profession and then bother with this dead face. Hum! When the time comes, let's see who is the real master in our Easy Guild! Thinking of this, please start more and can't help but click on your task panel again.

I saw that among the many game tasks in his task panel, there was a bright red hidden mission listed!

Mission Name: The Trial of the Black-robed Master (HIDDEN).

Difficulty: ???

Task content: In order to select his own descendant disciples, the unfathomable black-robed master traveled all over the Jiuding Continent. If an adventurer wants to become a disciple of the black-robed master, in addition to being chosen by the master, he must also pass the difficult trials set by him.

Go to the dangerous Forest of Despair, collect twenty Forest Wolf Fangs and give them to the Black-robed Master, and you will be lucky enough to become the only disciple of the Black-robed Master.

Reward: After completing the mission, you will get the only "Totem Warlord" hidden profession in the Jiuding Continent, and the black-robed master will also give you a hidden suit that can be grown.

Note: This quest is in danger of death, so adventurers are advised to take it with caution. The consequences of failing the trial are borne by the adventurer himself.

Looking at the four words "Totem Warlord" in the task reward, please start harder, and suddenly your eyes will glow green!

The only berserker hidden class in the Jiuding Continent! It also comes with an exclusive set for Hidden Duties! it! This is the rhythm of becoming a god in the ups and downs game!

Please start with a heavier hand, I can't help but look forward to the wonderful scene in my mind that I will be admired and worshiped by players, especially sister players, in the future.

"There's no way, chasing a lone player in the wild can also run into the legendary hidden NPC along the way, brother's innate good luck is really incomprehensible! Hehe...... "Thinking of this, he looked at the sky with his eyes and grinned, and quickly wiped the halazi on the side of his mouth, turned to the people behind him who were adding blood and said loudly:

"Brothers, now we have collected 8 timber wolf fangs, the valley in front is the timberwolf's den, brothers work harder, and strive to collect 20 timber wolf fangs in one fell swoop!"

After speaking, please start heavier, and heroically raise your black iron level battle axe and point forward.

"Open the way!"

The Escape Guild team continued to walk deeper into the forest. But at this moment, in the dark dense forest not far behind them, a black figure flashed by......

PS: After some careful preparation after the completion of the old book, the new book of the old wilderness has finally opened the pit! Are your recommendation tickets ready? If you're ready, the target, Lao Huang's brain, smash it hard! Don't forget to collect it after smashing it! Thank you in advance!
