"Hello, adventurer. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info" However, the little merchant who loved the holy artifact didn't seem to be too intelligent, and began to speak according to the routine he had designed, "Congratulations on finding me. What I can offer you is a chance to complete the task. ”

Completing quests and special trades are still separate, which means that there must be more than one NPC named [Merchant Who Loves Hallows].

"So, what's the mission?" Li Hei asked.

System: [Merchant who loves holy weapons] issues a quest to you, do you accept it?

To be honest, Li Hei has always felt that this process of accepting tasks seems a little unfriendly: the system will only ask you if you accept the task, and the content of the task must wait until you accept the task to see it from the taskbar. But now doesn't seem to be the time to dwell on this problem, Li Hei directly clicked to accept, and a new task appeared in the taskbar.

【Protect the Merchant (Event)】Help the Merchant who loves the Hallows fight off the 100 monsters that attack him and protect him from dying. Reward: One piece of equipment of a random type, Hallows. Time limit: 30 minutes. Released NPC: Merchants who love artifacts.

Li Hei had never seen this kind of task, but he quickly reacted that the essence of this task was to farm monsters. Such a mission should not pose much of a threat to him.

Five seconds after Li Hei accepted the task, various monsters began to appear out of thin air in the past four weeks. First of all, a swarm of spiders, ten spiders encircled Li Hei and the merchant.

Li Hei skillfully began to chant the incantation, finishing the chant before the group of spiders was about to start gnawing, and a fire element condensed from the top of Li Hei's head and fell to the ground with a bang.

The flame blaster brought up a gust of hot wind, "-1020! ”“-1046！” “-997！” Pieces of damage jumped up, burning the spiders to ashes.

"Huh? Why doesn't this wave of monsters even have a thousand blood? Li Hei was puzzled, but he had already seen another wave of Shar Pei dogs attacking, and hurriedly continued to launch the [Summoning Ice Element] to fight.

The fire elemental's fireball attack was very sharp at this time, two fireballs could knock down a Shar Pei, and similarly, the damage did not reach a thousand points.

The ice elemental itself has a high amount of health, and the cold wind shockwave brought by it when it lands will clean up all the Shar Pei dogs that have come nearby. But the next wave of monsters followed, a flock of vultures, flicking their wings and bypassing the two elements from above, heading straight for the Artifact Merchant!

“-18！” “-49！” “-107！” It is also a vulture, and the damage caused by each one to the merchant is somewhat different, but Li Hei can see at a glance from these damage figures that the damage number is getting bigger and bigger!

"Hey! Help me get rid of all these pesky species! The merchant screamed, the holy light flashed in his hand, and he actually released a [Advanced Healing Technique] to himself, replenishing the amount of blood that had been knocked out in one go.

But even if the businessman can recover on his own, the situation is not optimistic. If it's not wrong, the merchant's damage mechanism should be that the more times he is attacked, the greater the number of damage he receives, which means that his limited HP can only support him to withstand a certain number of attacks, and if he can't destroy the monster in time before the monster attacks him, the damage number will accumulate more and more, until he can kill the merchant in one hit.

"Why did it become a tower defense game...... Li Hei thought bitterly, seeing that the vultures were still hovering over their heads, they simply detonated the ice elemental.

The huge explosion radius also has damage to the vertical Z-axis, and those fragile vultures and a group of cobras that have just attacked are all wiped out by this terrifying damage.

The quest progress prompt in the taskbar reads: "Number of monsters killed: 43/100." This gave Li Hei a bit of a headache, just less than half of the monsters, let his [Elemental Burst] enter the cooldown, how to resolve the offensive after that?

Before he had time to think about it, a swarm of huge bees had already flown in front of Li Hei's eyes, and he hurriedly began to chant [Summoning Thunder Element].

These monsters have the weakness of low HP while moving fast. For Li Hei, who lacks AOE, he must rely on the fire and thunder elements that can be exported remotely to attack and reduce the number of monsters from the moment they appear.

However, Li Hei obviously miscalculated - this swarm of bees can actually use long-range attacks! Before they could get into the range of the thunder elemental, they raised their bellies and shot their chelates out!

"Damn!" Li Hei was caught off guard, and there was nothing he could do to stop this attack, so he could only try to use his body as a shield to block the side of the Sacred Weapon Merchant.

However, those chela needles actually passed directly through Li Hei's body and accurately pierced the body of the holy weapon merchant.

“-268！” “-304！” “-353！” Suddenly, a large number of damage figures soared up on the head of the Sacred Artifact Merchant, the largest of which had reached 730 points!

The Sacred Weapon Merchant screamed in pain, the [Advanced Healing Technique] seemed to have no cooldown time in his hand, and the holy light flashed twice, "+3639!" ”“+1725！” still restored the Artifact Merchant's HP to a temporarily safe level.

Although the chelates that could penetrate Li Hei's body made him fully feel the unscientificity of this game, the swarm of bees after shooting the chela still landed one after another and disappeared very reasonably.

But the next wave was not an animal, but several humanoid ghosts condensed from purple flames.

Seeing this, Li Hei quickly pointed out the [Void Breakpoint] in the direction of the two ghosts that were very close to him, and in the next second, the two ghosts were sucked into it and disappeared.

At the same time that Li Hei had eliminated two of them, the other ghosts had already begun to attack—they flailed their arms frantically, and one after another purple fireballs flew towards the Artifact Merchant.

In the past, monsters were supposed to only have one attack each, but now the difficulty has increased dramatically, and each ghost throws several fireballs. Li Hei had every reason to believe that this fireball would also penetrate his body like the chela just now, and hit the merchant directly.

At this time, Li Hei had to start to congratulate himself on being the owner of the Void Magic Guide Book, and backhanded a [Void Breakpoint] on the top of the merchant's head, and those fireballs that were about to attack him were absorbed by this inconspicuous gray spot one after another.

At this time, Li Hei finally had a chance to take a breath, waiting for the two elements to slowly clean up these ghosts, and at the same time he took out some blue medicine to recover.

"When will I be able to get the equipment to return mana......" Li Hei sighed as he drank the bottle of blue medicine in his hand.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Hei also launched the [Advanced Enchanted Fire Element] and upgraded the Fire Element. After all, there have been monsters that have attacked many times now, and it will definitely be more difficult to deal with in the future. The Enchanting Fire Element can also use the skill of [Earth Fire Technique], and it may be able to do two seconds at a time.

After all the ghosts were killed, a new batch of monsters that emerged made Li Hei's scalp tingle.

This time, huge dandelions were drilled straight out of the ground!

"My God......" Li Hei's eyes widened, already guessing what would happen next.

A strong wind blew the seeds of these dandelions away. In the next second, the Artifact Merchant's head began to jump wildly, "-789!" ”“-844！” “-891！” , and if you continue to take damage, it will reach a four-digit level.

Li Hei's heart was spinning, and he thought of the method he might be able to use to deal with this situation, and immediately turned it into practice - [Dragon Roar Technique], and launched!

The air currents from the loud roar blew away all the dandelion seeds that were still fluttering in the wind next to the Sacred Merchant, and at the same time, the dandelions, which had become "bald", quickly withered.

At a glance at the progress, the number of eliminations at this time has reached 85, and there may only be one or two waves left.

"Hey, it hurts me. Why don't these monsters stop? The Merchant of the Sacred said with a sad face as he nursed himself.

Li Hei smiled bitterly, he also wanted to ask this question.

Within his line of sight, obvious points of light suddenly began to appear, and Li Hei counted them slightly, and the number of them was exactly 15.

Needless to say, this point of light should be the last wave of monsters.

Li Hei quickly began to chant the [Elemental Burst] that had cooled down, and when he pronounced the first character, those points of light also began to move.

With speeds that are difficult to catch with the naked eye, they cut rays of light through the air and attack the Merchant of the Hallows. In an instant, there were streaks of light intertwining around the Artifact Merchant, and the damage figures above his head continued to jump out at a terrifying speed. This point of light doesn't seem to be a magical creature, otherwise it would have been swallowed by the [Void Breakpoint] above the Hallows Merchant's head.

“…… Blast our enemies! Although Li Hei's chant only took 3 seconds, 3 seconds also played a huge output for that group of light monsters, and the damage number that jumped out above the head of the Sacred Weapon Merchant was as high as 1866 points.

“-5046！” “-5625！” “-5343！” The fire elemental burst of damage finally killed all of the light-point monsters, leaving only the devastated Artifact Merchant slumped on the ground, gasping for air.

Seeing Li Hei walking towards him, he hugged Li Hei's leg and said silently: "Benefactor-I only have 3 drops of blood left-"

Li Hei was startled and patted his chest with some fear. Fortunately, I was lucky enough, if I let him be beaten more, my mission would be wasted.

After delivering the task, the Merchant of the Sacred took out a piece of orange-glowing leather from the huge package on his back and handed it to Li Hei.
