After walking for about five minutes, there was no different scenery in front of her, Lin Xi was still in the woods, but if she heard correctly, there seemed to be a sound of bells in front of her. When he got closer again, Lin Xi was even more sure that there was indeed the sound of a bell ringing, and although he didn't know what was in front of him, he still didn't hesitate to speed up his pace and walk forward.

It's just that this time she didn't go smoothly as she wanted, and a humanoid called the Eight Tails suddenly appeared on the path ahead, and there was more than one, roughly looking at the past, there was one every ten meters or so. And in this way, Lin Xi is relieved, if it is a problem that can be solved by fighting monsters, then it is not a problem.

After seeing the attributes of the Eight Tails and knowing that it was only a level eighty monster, Lin Xi was relieved to pull out the streamer twin swords and face the Eight Tails who was holding a soft whip.

But what is a little surprising is that although the weapon of the Eight Tails is a soft whip, it is obviously better at attacking with spells, and has a certain immunity to physical attacks, and six out of ten moves are either miss or are in a state of immunity. After knowing this, Lin Xi tried to use swordsmanship as little as possible, and kept his spiritual power to cast spells and enable spells, although some of them could not achieve the desired damage, but they would not fall behind in front of the monsters of the same level.

But what surprised Lin Xi even more was that this eight-tailed was not a monster that could be killed, when its health was less than 5% left, it suddenly retreated rapidly, and then disappeared with a "bang" like a smoke bomb.

The monster is not dead, naturally there is no experience to gain, Lin Xi put away his sword a little depressed, looking at the eight-tailed monsters in front of him who were still unmoved, even if he had no choice but to continue to move forward and confront another eight-tailed monster.

With the first time, there is a second time, and seeing the scene of the eight-tailed monster escaping when he can't beat it again, Lin Xi was too lazy to be surprised, and he didn't even frown and looked for the next one. In this way, one after another eight-tailed monsters ran away, although they wasted a lot of medicine and spells for Lin Xi, but they didn't get any experience and silver, and the signs of the task still didn't appear.

However, Lin Xi firmly believes that whatever she has lost, she can be doubled back later, whether it is experience and money or one of the two, if not, she doesn't mind complaining, or going to the game forum to make a fuss.

Of course, it's too early to think about this, so let's drive away all these eight-tailed monsters that stand in the way according to the game's arrangement, and it's okay to endure for the sake of the mission.

Lin Xi sighed secretly, and after a short rest to recover, he threw himself into the battle again. And slowly she also learned to be obedient, trying to use low-cost primary charms, anyway, it doesn't take a few dollars, and the Sword Rain Pavilion also needs more advanced group attack charms, which are better than consuming spiritual power and then constantly taking drugs.

However, this choice naturally led to a long time, and seeing that it was almost dark, Lin Xi cleared the eight-tailed monsters blocked in the woods one by one, and came out of the woods and came to a place that resembled a valley. The valley is surrounded by mountains, and the ground is still paved with a thick layer of flowers, but fortunately, a path has been specially opened for people to walk, otherwise Lin Xi really can't bear to step on the flowers and plants.

And solving the eight-tailed monsters does not mean that you can live in peace, Lin Xi looked at the figure in front of him with a body similar to that of an ordinary eight-tailed monster, and he was also holding a soft whip in his hand, but his expression was quite vivid, and his face was full of provocative expressions of young men who had not yet grown, and his name in the attribute was also eight-tailed, but there was one more - note: Seniority, does it mean that he is a small boss?

Lin Xi looked at him slightly, although he didn't see any tricks, but he also knew that since the system prompted, he couldn't underestimate it. So when the two sides fought, she did not take a radical approach, but tried to protect herself and left a way back, once she found that something was wrong, she tried to retreat, so as not to hurt the other party but hurt herself.

And it turns out that she is quite right, this eight-tailed attack hit her accurately, and it was still a critical hit, and it went to 20% of her health at once, and it would definitely be a waste of a life if you came a few more times. Lin Xi hurriedly jumped up and stepped back, the whip fell on the left half, and his coat was neatly torn, although he didn't see any external injuries, he could understand from the pain that could not be ignored, this blow was a trick, it seemed to hit the body, but it really hurt the inside, causing a lot of internal injuries.

He was ruthless the first time, Lin Xi didn't blindly back down, and the movements in his hands kept throwing spells to trouble him, and after the health value was almost restored to 10&, he didn't care about the physical attack and the useless state of opening the spiritual power unity, and the sword qi volatilized by the single attack sword technique rushed towards the eight tails who were coming here in the next second.

And it's also good luck, this time's immunity and miss chance are very small, almost every sword qi comes in handy, coupled with the existence of the state of spiritual power unity, it is very conscientious to cause twice the usual damage to the eight tails. If the previous spell attack was a small fight, this time it really hit the eight-tails who thought that Lin Xi could only be a defeated general, and after receiving more than a dozen sword qi attacks in a row and tasted the power, he no longer chased after Lin Xi, but shook the whip to block those sword qi, and quickly retreated backwards.

Lin Xi naturally took advantage of the victory to pursue, and after beating the Eight Tails to the point of defeat and embarrassment, he took advantage of the spiritual power unity state to retreat sharply before dissipating, and only after a distance away from the Eight Tails did he stop and take a medicine that replenished spiritual power. However, to her disappointment, Yao did not provoke and rage because of this, and then wanted to kill him in turn, but took advantage of the situation...... Fled.

Standing in place, Lin Xi was stunned and watched the white mist slowly dissipate, and then reacted with tears and laughter, this seems to be the eight tails of the small boss, in fact, it is just to give people a little fear at the beginning, but in fact, it is not so worthy of the name, and if she didn't go out in advance to launch the spiritual power to unite and deal with him desperately, I am afraid that it will be the same as those previous eight tails who need to be entangled for a period of time before escaping.

At this time, the sky had completely darkened, and the moon hung in the sky like a jade plate, emitting a soft white light.

Lin Xi had consumed a lot of physical strength after a short battle, and even if he saw that there was no obstacle in front of him at this moment, he was reluctant to raise his feet to move forward, but simply took advantage of the moonlight, went to the flowers on the side, and after breathing a sigh of relief, he sat up and prepared food for himself to recover his strength.

After eating, Lin Xi opened the task interface with anticipation and took a look, and then turned it off in disappointment. The most difficult task is not to know how much difficulty awaits you in front of you, but to not know what to do at all, what will be in front of you, and then in the process of constantly suffering, worrying about some unclear things, not encountering anything, but destroying your fighting spirit in advance.

Lin Xi sighed, stood up and patted the hem of his clothes stained with a lot of grass clippings petals, and then continued to walk into the valley.

As if he couldn't bear to continue torturing her, as soon as he walked around a piece of grass that was two people high, Lin Xi didn't have time to be surprised by what he saw in front of him, and a girl in a pink dress suddenly stepped forward and blessed her, and said, "Guests from afar, the lord has an invitation, please come with me." ”

There is no need to fight monsters, just invite her over, there is naturally a task in the special mission map, Lin Xi first breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and then said happily: "Okay, you lead the way." ”

And when she followed the girl and walked slowly, Lin Xi took the time to express her surprise at everything around her, this is a place that seems to be an artificial garden, no longer a large area of flowers, but a few flower beds are clearly enclosed, all the same flowers are not mixed together. Then there are the rockeries that look strange at first glance and clever up close, which seem to be continuous, but in fact there are paths in between, paved with smooth and hard cobblestones, and the roadside is also tended to be pruned wildflowers and weeds. In the middle of the garden, there is also a small pond with blue waves, which draws water from the spring and flows slowly into the pool, and the water seems to be still warm and bubbling with wisps of mist, which makes people want to go down and soak at a glance.

However, all of this is secondary, it can be regarded as a foil, what really surprised Lin Xi was not these, but the ubiquity in this garden, or wandering or rolling or frolicking, playing or lying down to sleep...... Cat herd.

Yes, all cats.

If the girl who led the way is too, plus her, then this is completely a cat world, more like the territory of the cat demon clan than the place where the race elders stay.

The girl who walked in front didn't know what Lin Xi was thinking behind her at this time, and she didn't want to turn around and say, yes, you guessed it, I'm also a cat, so Lin Xi could only secretly guess, and then withdrew his eyes and honestly continued to walk inside.

It was only when she walked to a stone table surrounded by strangely shaped leaves and grass that the girl stopped, and then Lin Xi watched her bow to the white cat sleeping on the round cloth mat on the stone table, and said respectfully: "Lord, the guest has arrived." ”

Sure enough, they were all cats.

After this thought first came to mind, Lin Xi focused on the white cat, and very naturally, the first place that attracted her attention was the tail.

It's not how strange and beautiful the tail is, but this cat does have nine tails, and the plush ones are crowded together, which is not weird at all but very cute, so that Lin Xi is a little itchy when he looks at it, and he can't wait to pounce on it and touch it one by one to see if it is a real tail.

Then she suddenly remembered that she had the title of the nine-tailed cat demon, so she did come to the territory of the real cat demon clan?

After some thought, the girl had retreated unconsciously, and the other cats did not dare to approach, and there was silence all around, only the sound of Lin Xi's gentle breathing and the sudden "meow" of the white cat.

Meow? Can't speak?

Lin Xi looked at the pair of amber pupils in his open eyes, hesitated for a moment before he spoke, "Are you looking for me?" Is there anything I need to do? ”

"Meow?"

It's a meow again, and it seems to be the third sound, is it the meaning of expressing doubts about her words?

Just as Lin Xi hesitated whether to continue to say a few words to Niu Danqin, the white cat "meowed" again, and then in the blink of an eye, the white cat disappeared, replaced by a young man wearing a white brocade robe, who was only seventeen or eighteen years old.

Being able to transform into a human form means being able to speak, so were you teasing her just now?

Lin Xi looked at him with a smile and a smile, and then simply said with the name of the task: "Do you need me to fulfill a wish for you?" ”

The young man tilted his head to look at her, then shook his head and said, "No, I fulfilled a wish for you...... Say, what is your desire? ”

As soon as his words fell, Lin Xi had an extra interface in front of him, with three choices on it, A is a level up, B is a random treasure chest, and C is a magic weapon.

Lin Xi wasn't very interested in random treasure chests and magic weapons, so he simply chose A without thinking much about it, and then clicked OK next to cancel...... If there is a cancellation, can you still not make a wish, if you don't allow it, it would be too stupid, right?

Lin Xi shook his head, and after watching the interface disappear, he looked at the young man named Nine-Tails again.

Nine-Tails' expression was flat, and after receiving the instructions of the wish, he didn't blink his eyes, he directly raised his hand and clicked it out of thin air, and then said, "Okay, I'm going to sleep, you can come back to me in three days." ”

After saying that, he turned into a white cat again, closed his eyes and calmed down, and looked like he was sleeping peacefully.

Then the girl in pink suddenly appeared again and said to her, "Guest, please come with me." ”

Lin Xi followed her back to the garden in a daze, and was arranged to sit down in a gazebo, and after serving fruit cakes, the girl disappeared again.

What the hell is this going to do? Since the mission is a wish, and the Nine-Tails also said that it was to fulfill one of her wishes, and now that she has been upgraded, why do she need to wait three days to see him again, instead of completing the task and going out from the map? Lin Xi looked at the unchanged task interface with an inexplicable face, and then looked at the very tempting pastries and various rare fruits, and then turned off the task bar with a sigh, and casually took a strawberry with a full shape and beautiful color to eat. The setting of some tasks in the game is really not something that ordinary people can understand, so just let it be, after all, she still knows that she can go to see the Nine-Tails again in three days, and she can stay here, instead of going outside to wander around and look for clues.

And she still underestimated this task, the three days that the Nine-Tails said are the three days in the game, which will not fast forward or blink an eye, but need to be solid for three days.

This point was realized by Lin Xi who stayed in this pavilion for a long time without seeing any changes, and he was a little resigned to his fate while being powerless, and then saw that it was time for lunch, so he simply ended the game and went offline to eat. Fortunately, it is still possible to go offline.

And since she has to wait for three days, she will change the trumpet later, so as not to waste time sitting there.

Although Lin Xi is now familiar with everyone else in the studio, she still habitually sits with Qiu Wan to eat, and then says anything casually, and so does Qiu Wan.

Seeing her eating sullenly and sighing from time to time, Qiu Wan naturally asked, "What's wrong?" Did you encounter any difficulties in the game? Do you still have to worry about having a boss? ”

Lin Xi was already immune to her jokes, after all, she herself often teased her through Shen Qing from time to time, so she didn't pay much attention to Wen Yan, but sighed and said honestly: "We are all doing our own race tasks, I don't know what he encountered, as for the ...... I encountered, Alas, it's depressing to say it, and there are really a lot of weird tasks in the game. ”

"Oooh?" Qiu Wan was very interested in all kinds of strange tasks, and when she heard this, she didn't care about eating, turned her head and looked at her excitedly: "Let's talk about it, what kind of task is it, maybe I can help?" ”

There was nothing to hide from her, Lin Xi didn't want to say the name of the mission, as well as what happened after entering the mission map, and focused on the conversation after meeting the Nine-Tails, as well as the desire to be promoted to a level.

"Wow, so you're eighty-one now?" Qiu Wan became more and more excited, and said: "This task is very good, I was promoted to one level at once, but unfortunately we couldn't receive it." ”

Lin Xi held his forehead and said, "It's really good to be promoted to one level, but I have to wait for three days to find him, and it doesn't mean that the task can be successfully completed after three days." ”

"Is that so?" Seeing that she was really distressed, Qiu Wan also became serious, and after thinking about it, she said, "Speaking of which, your experience is a bit similar to a story I heard before. ”

Lin Xi raised his eyes to look at her, "Really? What's the story? "Now she doesn't have any clues, and it's better to have a similar story than to know nothing.

After Qiu Wan pondered for a while, she said as simply as possible: "That white cat has nine tails, right?" The story I heard is the story of the nine-tailed cat, the legend is that not every cat has the opportunity to grow more than two tails, and the cats that can grow are all cats that need a long period of cultivation, and as long as they grow nine tails, they can be ranked in the immortal class, and they don't have to cross the catastrophe. And there is another condition, that is, you need to meet a wish of a destined person, but what, every time the nine-tailed cat satisfies a wish of a destined person, it will lose a tail and turn back into an eight-tailed cat, and then continue to cultivate the ninth tail, and then continue to lose, all the time of reincarnation, it is said that there are very few nine-tailed cats that can become immortals. ”

"......" Lin Xi was speechless, and continued to hold his forehead: "And then?" ”

Qiu Wan said: "Then I think, is your task the same, on the surface it is to fulfill one of your wishes, but in fact, it is to meet the greatest wish of the nine-tailed cat, that is, to become an immortal." ”

"So?" Lin Xi had the spirit again and looked at Qiu Wan.

"So, ah......" Qiu Wan looked at her with a smile, deliberately dragging her tone and satisfying her appetite before continuing: "You just make a wish for him to grow a ninth tail again?" ”
