The task of the Green Flame Skull Chen Mian only took three days to complete, and after a short night's rest, Chen Mian decided to start the second mission of the month, "Dread Devourer", as soon as possible.

Chen Mian woke up on time in the early morning and practiced routinely, and after the end of the mana reached 134.8, according to her calculations, there was still 5.2 points left to upgrade to level 5, and it would take about 13 days.

After eating a Divine Berry to fill his stomach, Chen Mian entered his personal transit space, opened the taskbar of the character panel, and chose to start the quest "Eater of Fear".

"Eater of Fear: One hundred and twenty years ago, the Abyssal Demons invaded the Polar Night Plane, and the race war between humans and the Abyssal Demons lasted for hundreds of years.

Ten years ago, the overwhelmed Terran powerhouse cut off his arm and abandoned most of the land occupied by the abyssal demons of the Polar Night Plane, allowing it to disintegrate with the invaders and fall into the void, leaving only the now fragmented world, the Small Polar Night Plane.

Since then, the surviving humans have spent another seven years cleaning up the scattered demons within the Lesser Polar Night plane.

Three years have passed, the land that has experienced the war is in ruins, the number of human races has been greatly reduced, the civilization as a whole has regressed by hundreds of years, and there has been a fault line among the professionals, but fortunately some inheritance has been preserved.

But the surviving top powerhouses have all disappeared into the small polar night plane, no one knows where they went, and the human race lacks the experience and guidance of their predecessors, so they can only explore on their own according to the written inheritance, and the progress is slow.

At this time, the hidden shadow demon gradually became stronger, and gradually revealed its traces on the mainland.

After the demon clan dies physically, the soul essence will generally return to the bottomless abyss to reshape the body, but after the demon retreats, the last group of demons to die in the small polar night plane are hindered in the process of returning.

Some of the demons that cannot be resurrected have survived in another obscure form due to magic, the so-called Shadow Demons.

They can completely disappear in the dark, and wriggle silently, capturing their targets with their non-physical claws, and then gnawing away their prey's inner memories, doubts, and even fears.

The Shadow Demon has been dormant for ten years, and has gradually grown stronger, from secretly devouring the natural fears of humans at the beginning, to creating fear, and then feeding on them.

The polar night plane has short days and long nights, which is very suitable for the shadow demon to lurk, and the Terrans of the small polar night plane have ushered in another desperate winter.

As a mage in the City of Light, you will accept the Torch Tribe's request for help and go to clean the Torch Tribe's hidden shadow demons.

Deal with a Shadow Demon. ”

Chen Mian carefully read the brief description of the mission that appeared in front of him, the nearly 100-year history of the Polar Night Plane is a history of a failed race war and a broken tail to survive.

Bluestar is now also facing the invasion of shapeshifters, and if the Terrans don't get the upper hand in the end, maybe Bluestar will also disintegrate into a shattered world.

However, thousands of years ago, Blue Star was dragged into the primordial layer by the combined efforts of the human race powerhouses, and it can be seen from the murals of the nameless dungeon before that the aperture of the primordial layer is at the core of the desolate world.

When the shapeshifters lurked in before, most of them were wiped out by the protective aperture of the primordial layer, and there were not many intruders who infiltrated them.

Blue Star's situation is actually better than the situation that the fragmented world he encountered in the mission has faced, and the transformation monster camouflage ability is very powerful, but the individual strength is not strong, as long as the human race can find a way to identify the transformation monster disguise, the crisis will be solved.

Chen Mian wasn't very worried that Blue Star would usher in the end of the Polar Night plane, but he also had to do his part, not only for Blue Star, but also for the only task he accepted to "guard Blue Star".

However, in the mural I saw before, the Great World of the Flood Wilderness seemed to be divided into three layers, and from the inside to the outside, the protective light of the aperture became more and more dim.

The most core position is called the primordial layer, which Chen Mian deduced from his own character information, the source column, "Source: Primordial Layer Galactic Universe Blue Star." ”

As for the two outer floors, Chen Mian didn't know what they were called.

It's useless to think too much about these things now, it's better to do the current task first, Chen Mian temporarily put aside his conjecture about the world network, and once again briefed the task, and then chose to enter the task.

Chen Mian appeared in the darkness, and the moment she arrived here, she put on the mage armor on herself, and the information in the mission brief made her prepare for the time to enter the Little Polar Night Plane.

It was a plane with short days and long nights, and it was indeed very likely that it would be night as soon as she entered, but she had not expected such a dark night, only slightly better than the dark night of the Arar jungle infested by corpses.

It was a clear night sky, unobscured by clouds, but there was no trace of the moon, only sparse stars in distant galaxies dotted the sky, and no light had ever been sprinkled on the ground.

The faint light of fire in front of him was the only light in Chen Mian's field of vision, and the Shadow Demon was good at hiding its form in the dark, and such an environment was really too favorable for them.

Chen Mian put on the worm-eyed night vision goggles, rode the witch's flying broomstick, and flew towards the firelight in front of him.

As the distance narrowed, Chen Mian saw clearly that the flames were moving torches, which reminded her of the torch tribe mentioned in the mission description.

Although it was night, it did not seem to be the time for these people to sleep, and everyone who walked alone carried at least one torch, and those who gathered together shared the torch, and everyone was shrouded in the firelight.

It is a large village, or tribe, surrounded by wooden spiked fences and stone walls, with large and small round stone houses sits within the protected boundaries of the fence and wall, and is topped with thick thatch.

A small river flows outside the village, and most of the people work in the fields by the river with torches, which are stuck in sticks like lampstands, so that they do not interfere with their work.

"Ah~, the demon is here again", a scream rang out.

As if they had been rehearsed countless times, the laborers ran quickly close to each other with torches in two adjacent fields, forming small groups of five to six people.

They planted their torches on a tall pillar in the center, and the gathered light of the fire illuminated the position within a few meters of them.

All of them used their farm tools as weapons, their backs against the torch pillars, and they stared at the darkness around them vigilantly, as if a man-eating monster was hidden in the darkness.

As soon as the scream rang out, Chen Mian locked on to the source of the sound, a farmer hoeing grass in a field at the far edge of the river.

When Chen Mian looked over, he saw a black unidentified object that seemed to have wings flickering within the illumination range of the torch beside him.

The farmer's face turned pale, and he drew his torch almost with his eyes closed, and instinctively ran towards the meeting place at the edge of the farmland.

Chen Mian stared at the darkness intently, if it weren't for the insect-eyed night vision goggles, she would definitely ignore the wisp of black flocculent that almost merged with the darkness.
