Chapter 501: Abandoning the Mission

"Brother, I've never been so depressed as I am today, really. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info my God, this slut, there are more people who come to her than there are more people who buy my tomato noodles, how can I bear it! ”

Take Tom to the lumberyard and the first part of the chain is over, but that's not the end.

Compared with his wife becoming a bus, Tom is more concerned about his ugly deeds and whether it will be spread out, and begged: "I am in the eastern district of the city, and I have been selling tomato noodles for more than ten years, and many people know me." Please, don't spread this thing, I'm willing to give you a good thing, as long as you can forget about it. ”

"Didi: The first ring of the chain of quests is over, agree to Tom's request, and start the second loop quest..."

There was a hint of a golden finger in his ears, Wu Ming's eyes flickered slightly, and he said without hesitation: "Of course, I am a mercenary, and it is my responsibility to keep secrets for my employer, and this matter will never be spread." ”

"Okay, I believe you, you can take this thing." Tom took out a black ring from his pocket and handed it to Wu Ming very solemnly.

Wu Ming took the ring and saw that this black ring was very peculiar, non-gold, non-silver, non-copper, non-iron, and there was a faint coolness in his hand.

Feel it carefully, this coolness is like a kind of energy, and it gives him a very eerie feeling.

"My second uncle is a night watchman at a mass grave outside the city, but he disappeared last week. I went to the mass grave to look for him, but he didn't find it, but he found the ring, and now it's yours. Tom explained casually, listening to Wu Ming's ears, but it was the opening lead of the second part of the mission.

"Didi: The second ring of the chain quest opens, explore the mass graves outside the city, find the missing night watchman, and the quest rewards 50 points of experience."

The first mission is to investigate an extramarital affair, and the second mission is to find the missing administrator.

Wu Ming stroked the ring on his hand, and instinctively sensed that he was walking into a larger vortex from a small matter.

Perhaps, this is the charm of the chain quests, where the difficulty gradually stacks and the rewards become more and more generous, and no one knows what the final quest will be.

This feeling of finding the truth in the unknown and slowly unraveling the fog is like playing a game of peek-a-boo, which can satisfy people's desire to explore.

"The mission reward for the second ring is equivalent to killing half a wanted criminal, and this is only the second ring! If there is a cycle of tasks such as four rings and five rings in the future, how huge the rewards should be! Wu Ming pinched the black ring and couldn't wait to leave.

The city of Tiprague is an important town of the Holy Light Empire, with a large population base.

The mass grave site is located 20 miles west of the city, in an ancient forest.

In the past, wanted criminals who were hanged, gangsters who died in street fights, and unclaimed corpses would be left in this place.

Over time, it became a place where no one could enter, and only one night watchman was in charge of it.

"Mass graves!"

Coming to the mass grave in the west of the city, Wu Ming looked up at the sky.

It was the afternoon, and according to the time, it should be 5 o'clock in the afternoon.

Retracting his gaze, Wu Ming put on his hood and began to walk towards the forest, his steady pace as if there were no obstacles that could stop him.

"Wow wow, wow..."

Stepping on the thick fallen leaves, Wu Ming raised his head slightly, and found that it was his own intrusion, which alarmed a group of crows.

In ancient times, the crow represented bad luck, its cry was harsh, and legend has it that it was the embodiment of bad luck.

Wu Ming walked in front, and the crows lingered behind, refusing to disperse for some reason.

Sensing this special phenomenon, Wu Ming stopped, his eyes thoughtful.

There are only two possibilities for crows not to be afraid of people, one is that these crows are raised by people, and the other is that these crows have attacked people and are used to eating human flesh.

Here are mass graves, there is never a shortage of dead people, and the second may be larger than the first.

Thinking that in the eyes of this group of crows, it was food delivered to the door, Wu Ming was also a little crying and laughing, so he simply ignored them.

"Crunch..."

After walking a few hundred meters through the woods, pushing open a decaying fence gate, this is the heart of the mass grave.

Especially near the fence gate, there is a dilapidated log cabin, which is presumably the home of the night watchman.

Pushing open the wooden house and walking in, a bed, a table, a stove, an oil lamp, and an axe for chopping wood, it was all there was in the room.

Wu Ming stretched out his hand and touched the table, his fingers were covered with dust, sure enough, as Tom said, the night watchman had been missing for a long time, looking at the dust on the table, no one had cleaned it for at least a week.

"The missing night watchman, the black ring with a cool feeling..."Wu Ming knew that the night watchman was missing, and it was impossible for him to be lost, so he rummaged through the room to see if he could find some clues.

It was surprising that Wu Ming really found a diary from under the bed.

I flipped through the pages of the diary, and this diary was left by the night watchman, and it wrote what I had done every day, and some of my own expectations.

"On June 9th... Last night, I heard a very strange sound coming from the mass grave, and I searched around and found nothing. ”

"On June 11th... The strange noises have been going on for three days, and as soon as I walk out of the room, they will disappear, and when I come back, the sounds will ring, hell. ”

"On June 12th... I decided to lurk in the graveyard tonight to see who was doing the hell. ”

The diary is written here, and there is no follow-up to it.

Wu Ming closed the diary and guessed that Old Tom was dead, dead under his own curiosity.

It is said that curiosity can kill cats, and legend has it that cats have nine lives, all of which can be killed by their own curiosity, let alone an ordinary night watchman.

However, the mission is not over here, as the saying goes, life is to see people and death to see corpses, and he still needs to find old Tom.

"Who the hell is doing the ghost in the mass graveyard, is it Count Cullen's people, performing the ritual here?" Wu Ming thought of Count Cullen and felt that it should have something to do with him.

You must know that Count Cullen is a believer in evil gods, and he believes in the evil gods of the undead plane, and the sacrifices to evil gods are usually very evil.

In the city of Tiprague, various forces are intertwined, the Thieves' Guild, the Temple of Wealth, and the Temple of Holy Light are all large forces that are no less than the City Lord's Mansion.

If it is safe, this inaccessible mass grave is definitely safer than the City Lord's Mansion. After all, there are many people in the city lord's mansion, and every move is under the noses of all forces, and many things are inconvenient to do.

"Boom..."

Drawing the sword from his waist with one hand, Wu Ming strode towards the depths of the mass grave.

As far as the eye can see, all the lonely graves are new, as if someone has filled the grave with soil, and there are obvious traces of passivity.

Wu Ming frowned slightly, and the sword in his hand suddenly slashed out and slashed hard at a lonely grave.

With a bang, the tomb was split in two by the long sword, and Wu Ming raised his eyes and looked down to find that there were no bones in the grave.

One, two, three...

The sword swung continuously, and the lonely graves were cut open.

Seven graves were broken in a row, but no bones were found, and by this time Wu Ming could already be sure that this mass grave had been hollowed out.

"In a mass grave, there are thousands of bones, where are all the bones?" Wu Ming continued to walk into the depths, wanting to see the secret of the disappearance of the bones.

Ten minutes later, Wu Ming found clues.

This is the deepest part of the mass grave, and in addition to the traces of the grave, even the ground under his feet seems to have been renovated.

Sensing this change, Wu Ming slashed out three times in a row, blasting a large pit on the ground.

Beneath the ground was a place full of bones, and countless skeletons had been pieced together as if they had formed a strange thing.

Because it was only the tip of the iceberg, Wu Ming couldn't see what it was composed of, so he continued to dig and forcibly blasted the surrounding land away.

Eventually, an altar of white bones appeared, and countless skeletons formed a huge altar, which was buried deep under the loess.

On the altar, there was still a corpse that had not decomposed, and this man looked to be sixty or seventy years old, and he could barely tell that it was old Tom.

"Didi: The second ring of the chain quest has been completed, inform the major temples of this news and start the third ring quest."

Finding Old Tom's body, Wu Ming's second ring mission has been completed, and 50 experience points have been obtained.

Looking at the task prompt that was refreshed again, Wu Ming hesitated, because he was already sure that the altar must be the handiwork of Count Cullen, and he didn't want to spread the matter.

"As I thought, this is really the handiwork of Count Cullen. However, once the news of the White Bone Altar spreads, it will definitely attract the attention of the major temples, and it is likely to ruin Count Cullen's plan. I'm not in the same league as Count Cullen, but what he's going to do is in my favor, and I have no reason to hold him back! "The invasion of the undead clan is a disaster for mankind, but it does more good than harm to Wu Ming.

He is not a Virgin, much less a savior, and has no ambition to save humanity.

On the contrary, after the invasion of the undead clan, the war of the gods that may start will give him the opportunity to fish in troubled waters and break the pattern of a pool of stagnant water.

"Others say that there is much help for the righteous and little help for the unjust, but when it comes to me, it is the other way around. Count Cullen, you owe me again, and you owe me, but you have to pay it back! Wu Ming's eyes flickered, he glanced at the white bone altar in front of him, and ordered: "Give up the serial mission..."
