Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
At this time, the system's prompt suddenly sounded.
"You've touched the hidden side quest: Twisted Truth. Help the character Hajizar find his brother Granny in the Twisted Jungle. ”
"Do you accept the assignment, yes/no?"
If Granny disappears into the Twisted Jungle in pursuit of Elise, then they will face the world's most powerful plot character, the Hero!
Although I haven't really seen the power of heroes, according to my understanding of the original plot and the comparison with the monsters I have encountered in this world, it is certain that the strength of any hero is stronger than that of the Lizard Elder or the Ancient Golem, and the combined strength of Li Mo and Hajizar is not the opponent of a lizard elder.
However, in the face of this sudden hidden side quest, Li Mo chose to accept it without hesitation. After continuing to talk with the Akama priest and making sure that he could not find any other useful clues, he and Hajizar briefly repaired it, and once again stepped out of the gate of justice and plunged into the dark, twisted jungle.
Entering the twisted jungle again, both Li Mo and Hajizar seemed to be at ease, as long as they avoided encountering boss-level sustenance, ordinary monsters could not pose a substantial threat to them at all.
Li Mo leaned towards strength and body, and endured all the attacks alone, while Hajizar, a powerful archer, was undistracted in the back, and the four wisps of demon souls generated by magic were shot into a sieve and annihilated in the void.
Li Mo cautiously groped his way forward in the wetland, while thinking about the information about this task in his mind, one keyword after another was filtered out, and when he saw the vague truth gradually pieced together in an invisible thread series, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise a cold smile.
Originally, he was not sure about the crisis he was about to face, but an unexpected appearance made him see a glimmer of light, although this glimmer of light would be rendered by blood.
Compared to the Iron Ridge Mountains where Hajizar grew up, the area of the Twisted Jungle was not large, and the only thing that could bother them was the darkness that saw no light of day, and the environment that was extremely distorted by magic. However, when Li Mo took out the task item called "Despicable Tentacles", this qiē could no longer be an obstacle to their progress. This tentacle seems to have some kind of mysterious connection with a powerful being in the jungle, which accurately guides Li Mo and Hajizar in the direction of progress.
I don't know how long I left, when the atmosphere around me suddenly changed, and the monster that might have stored zài may not have appeared for a long time, Li Mo immediately knew that he was gradually approaching the destination, he keenly caught a clue that appeared in front of him, and suddenly stretched out his hand to stop Hajizar.
"You wait for me here, I'll go and check the situation alone."
Hajizar hesitated, nodded in agreement, and then found a hidden position on the side, and placed the arrow on the bowstring, so that he could immediately support the attack as soon as there was a situation.
Li Mo cautiously walked to the position of the clue in front of him, he squatted down and picked up a piece of rubble all over the ground at random, put it in front of his eyes and carefully examined it for a while, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes. He recognized what looked like stones had been broken from a statue, the remains of a part of the Elder Golem that had been killed here some time ago.
According to Hajizar, his brother Granny entered the Twisted Jungle a year ago in order to track down an evil being, and has not been heard from since, and judging by the fluctuations in the magic power on these fragments, the time of the death of the ancient golem was days ago!
At this time, Li Mo suddenly realized that he had made a strict mistake. Realizing this, he couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly and look at Hajizar behind him without revealing a trace, and secretly thought to himself: "This damn task may be more complicated than I imagined!" ”
But now there was no turning back, he gritted his teeth, got up from the ground and walked back to Hajizar's side, showed the rock in his hand, and said, "This is the remains of the Ancient Golem, I have encountered it in the Iron Ridge Mountains, so I can recognize the trace of magic fluctuations left on it. ”
Hearing this, Hajizar couldn't help but reach out and grab the rock, and after taking a closer look, he couldn't help but have a solemn look on his face.
Unlike the Lizard Elder, the Elder Golem is one of the monsters native to the Twisted Jungle, but what makes Hajizar so serious is the death of this powerful monster.
The Ancient Golem that Li Mo encountered in the Iron Ridge Mountain Range had just been freed from the seal, and its strength was only 1/3 of its heyday, but it was the Ancient Golem in a weakened state that caused the death of Dwayne Johnson, and even the sniper Conings almost died under the skill of rock throwing. Although the factor of Richard's betrayal cannot be ruled out, the power of the ancient golem cannot be denied.
The rock in front of him is the remains left behind by the ancient golem in its heyday, after death, according to Hajizar, the most dangerous and powerful monster in the twisted jungle is the ancient golem, but such a powerful existence was actually blasted to pieces.
At this time, Li Mo suddenly asked on the side, "Does your brother Granny have the strength to kill the Ancient Golem?" ”
Hearing this, Hajizar's eyes couldn't help but light up, and the stern sù on his face was also swept away, and he looked at Li Mo with hope.
Li Mo continued: "You'd better be mentally prepared, if this ancient golem was really killed by your brother, then what was the reason for him to stay alone in the twisted jungle for a year without being heard from. ”
Hajizar heard the meaning of Li Mo's words, and he said seriously: "Even if it is a Cun Zài, which is more powerful than the Ancient Golem, it will not stop me from looking for my relatives, and the warriors of the barbarian race will not succumb to any evil. ”
Getting Hajizar's determination, Li Mo nodded and said no more, and the two continued to move towards the depths of the jungle, and it didn't take long for the environment in front of them to change drastically.
Even the chaos of the twisted jungle could not hide the strong magic fluctuations that rushed towards it, and it was an incredible sight as far as the eye could see. The trees were magnified several times, and at least a few people could barely surround them. Funnel webs, silk sacs, spinning threads, and all kinds of spider silk are wrapped around the branches of these large trees, and the whole jungle looks like it has become a spider's territory.
Li Mo closed his eyes and pushed his perception to the extreme, and immediately felt that he was caught in a huge whirlpool, he forcibly resisted the dizziness and pain, and tried to let his consciousness find that trace of existence in the chaotic whirlpool. Just when he couldn't hold on, he seemed to sense his consciousness, and a faint but obvious fluctuation fluctuated in a corner, although it was only for a moment, but it allowed Li Mo to indeed capture his existence.
When Li Mo opened his eyes, the whole person seemed to have been fished out of the water, his whole body would be soaked with sweat, his eyes were bloodshot, and he couldn't hide the deep feeling of exhaustion.
Just as he was using his sense to find Granny's cun, an evil demon suddenly appeared from the shadows and attacked Hajizar, at which point Hajizar and the demon were fighting.
This demon soul was significantly different from what it had encountered before, not only was it even bigger in size, but even its strength was vastly different, Hajizar's sharp arrows could pierce through its body every time, but in the blink of an eye, the void would be restored, and it didn't seem to be able to deal effective damage.
Seeing that Li Mo had already opened his eyes, Hajizar shouted loudly to him while dealing with the demon spirits that were constantly entangled around him: "Fool, you go and find my brother first, I can feel that he is near here." ”
Li Mo didn't hesitate at all when he heard this, and directly pulled out his legs and ran in a certain direction in front of him, the demon soul saw this scene and wanted to catch up, but was stopped by Hajizar's arrows.
Li Mo ran in the direction of the faint fluctuation he had sensed before, but after a while, a shocked tree appeared in front of him. The tree simply stands out from the crowd, and no plant dares to approach the open ground around it. The huge branches are covered with silk sacs of different sizes, and each silk sac hangs upside down like a lantern, giving people a creepy and terrifying feeling from a distance.
Li Mo's gaze quickly scanned among the countless silk sacs, and soon locked on one of them, he climbed up on the tree with his hands and feet quickly, and when he climbed to a certain height, he stretched out his right hand, and did not aim at the silk sac, but directly aimed at the branch where the silk sac was hanging, and the hideous tongue thorns sprayed out to break the branch.
The silk sac didn't know how hard it was, and when it hit the ground, there was a heavy muffled sound, and it sounded like the sound of a big iron stone smashing.
Li Mo jumped down from the tree, took out the other leg of the weapon Werther (pseudo), narrowed his eyes slightly, and smashed it down fiercely towards the silk sac.
One, two, three! With the blessing of Li Mo's peak strength attribute, the leg-shaped weapon was like a heavy hammer, constantly bombarding the silk sac, and after several consecutive times, the silk sac finally showed traces of fragmentation, and when the last blow fell, the entire silk sac shattered like cracked metal.
A burly man with tangled muscles and a picture of animal blood on his face appeared in front of him...... As soon as Li Mo saw this big man, he immediately knew that this was the Granny that the mission was looking for, that is, Hajizar's brother.
At this time, Granny's eyes were closed, his lips were pale and his face was very ugly, and he looked very weak.
Li Mo pushed him tentatively, and as soon as his hand touched his body, under the bronzed skin, the muscles were abnormally soft and weak, and it felt like a symptom of muscle dissolution.
Seeing this, Li Mo withdrew his hand, with an unprecedented cold look on his face, he took out the despicable tentacle from the backpack space, aimed it at Granny's body, and stabbed it fiercely.
Poof!
The sharp tentacles pierced the skin without hindrance, piercing deep into the flesh. This blow Li Mo deliberately did not aim at the vital point, he pulled out the tentacles, and without looking at the wound where the blood was gurgling out, he aimed at another non-vital part and stabbed it.
At this time, Li Mo was like a cold-blooded executioner, cruel and ruthless with sharp tentacles, constantly causing wounds on Granny's body, when Granny's destroyed body was dying, he put away the tentacles, and then held the leg-shaped weapon with both hands and raised it high, aimed at Granny's throat and smashed it down.
Click! A throat-shattering sound sounded, Granny's body shook suddenly, his closed eyes also opened, a pair of eyes full of unwillingness and doubt, staring at the murderer who killed him, gradually, the luster of life completely disappeared from his eyes, and finally only a lifeless corpse remained.
