Chapter 9: The First Mission

"This is the task in the new mode?"

When she heard the system reminder, Cheng Ying immediately understood that she was in contact with the task, the system's prompt was very simple, but the content contained in it was worth pondering, obviously it had already been said that the task reward was the deceased's ring, but added that it was to give up the task reward to trigger follow-up tasks.

That is, either choose this ring or abandon the ring to choose to continue with the follow-up mission.

"Brother Yang is really right, wait until you complete this task and tell him about it."

After thinking about it for a while, Cheng Ying finally decided to complete the task first, and then tell Yang Chao when he really needed to choose - after all, the contact device has to be used many times, and if it can be used less once, it will be used less once.

Although the system has issued a mission, this elder named Gates, that is, the palace summoner, is still tirelessly explaining to Yang Chao:

"There's something called the 'Ring of the Dead' in the underground hall between calls, and this ring is on a stone statue in the hall, could you please find it and come back to me?" Just look at the ring to see if you're the 'opener'. ā€

Cheng Ying nodded slightly and said politely:

"I see, I'll bring the ring back."

Cheng Ying first observed, and found the corridor that the elder said - this is not difficult, because there are only two roads between this summons, and the one on the left seems to be the exit.

Walking along the only road, Cheng Ying soon met a heavily armed armored knight, and when he saw Cheng Ying, he immediately knew her intention, pointed ahead and said to her:

"You follow the road to the left, and when you turn left at the fork in the road, you will see a soldier and a nurse, and that is the entrance to the underground mourning hall."

After thanking him, Cheng Ying quickly walked through the cloister and found the soldier and nurse he had spoken of, and of course, the entrance to the mourning hall.

After careful observation, Cheng Ying took a deep breath and walked through the entrance into the mourning hall, which was similar to a basement.

As soon as he stepped into the mourning hall, Cheng Ying felt that something was wrong.

The air around him seemed to become a little viscous in an instant.

As a martial arts practitioner, this feeling was all too familiar to her - crisis.

"Is there an enemy here? But the elder didn't mention it just now. ā€

Cheng Ying is a cautious person, especially when she comes to an unfamiliar environment, and she is even more reluctant to encounter some dangers that could have been avoided because of her carelessness.

However, what gave Cheng Ying a bit of a headache was that unlike the only road just now, the roads of the underground mourning hall were crisscrossed, and Cheng Ying, who had just gone down to the mourning hall and had not walked a few steps, found that she was already at a "D" junction.

"Probably this is the so-called test, right?" Cheng Ying carefully looked around, trying to identify the direction, but found that this could not be done in this dim basement, so he could only walk in the left direction first.

Try your luck, if you choose the wrong path, you can only go back.

Fortunately, nothing happened along the way, and soon, Cheng Ying came to the end of the road, and an iron gate blocked the way, and in front of the iron gate stood a heavily armed soldier - the same as at the entrance of the mourning hall before.

"I'm the palace soldier Idairu, are you here to challenge this labyrinth?" Cheng Ying hadn't spoken yet, but the soldier spoke first after seeing Cheng Ying.

Challenge? Maze?

Cheng Ying was slightly stunned.

Just as Cheng Ying was thinking about how to answer him, his head was already shaking like a rattle, "No, no!" It's dangerous! It's going to be miserable if you go in now! ā€

"The ......"

Cheng Ying's words were interrupted by him before he could finish speaking.

"Go back and wait until you're stronger!"

"Well, I'm not here to challenge the maze."

The current Cheng Ying is no longer the girl who just left the Condor dungeon, after going through several task dungeons with Yang Chao, combined with the context, she immediately understood that this was probably also a task, but she had not yet met the trigger conditions of the task.

Judging from the soldier's words, it seems that his strength is not strong enough.

"If it's Brother Yang, there must be no problem."

After secretly writing down this matter and planning to tell Yang Chao about it in the future, Cheng Ying said to Idairu: "I'm here to find a ring called the dead." ā€

"I see, you didn't say it earlier!" As soon as Cheng Ying said this, Idairu reacted immediately, and a smile appeared on his face, "You must have just been summoned to this world, right?" ā€

"Yes."

Cheng Ying nodded.

"His Majesty has summoned hundreds of people like you from another world to come here, because among so many people from other worlds, there must be a 'opener' who can save this world. Actually, soldiers like us believe in the legend of the brave, but it's a bit rude to call you here in this way......"

It's the opener again!

At this time, even if the system did not remind her, Cheng Ying knew what this title meant, and after secretly remembering the information revealed in the soldier's language again, she asked very politely:

"Do you know where the dead's ring is?"

"This ......," the soldier named Idairu had a look of embarrassment on his face, "You know, this was originally a test for you otherworldly people, and according to the rules, I can't tell you. ā€

Seeing the embarrassed look on Idailu's face, Cheng Ying also knew that he wasn't lying, "Since that's the case, I'll go and find it myself, but thank you anyway." ā€

After finishing speaking, Cheng Ying planned to turn around and leave.

"Wait!"

Just then, Idairu stopped her again.

"Anything else?"

Cheng Ying asked suspiciously.

Iteru's face showed a look of struggle, as if he was engaged in a struggle of thoughts, but finally said to Cheng Ying:

"I can tell you where the dead's ring is, but you have to promise me one thing."

Cheng Ying was vigilant in his heart, but he asked:

"What's the matter?"

"Some time ago, I don't know why a labyrinth suddenly appeared under the mourning hall of the palace, and the palace specially sent an investigation team to investigate this matter, who knew that several successive investigation teams lost contact after entering this labyrinth, and many soldiers of the kingdom have been severely damaged......"
