Hu Yu was very sure that there should be monsters in this cave. And that's a matter of course - the caves in the game are almost synonymous with dungeons or quest scenes, but visiting such a place in the middle of the night still makes him a little nervous. However, he had to go deeper into the cave. Now that he was too close to the entrance of the cave, whether it was the sound of a fight or the smell of a breath, he could reveal his whereabouts.

The darkness was like a flood, ready to drown him at any moment. Hu Yu's heart was about to rise to his throat, and he walked step by step towards the depths of the cave. The surrounding stone walls gradually unfolded, and the cave became wider; After feeling that he had gone some distance deep into the cave, Hu Yu breathed a sigh of relief and stopped against the stone wall.

It was pitch black all around, and I couldn't see my fingers. Hu Yu tried to calm down and condensed a small magic ball. The Mana Orb is a basic magic application that has no practical effect, and only in this kind of completely dark scene can there be a slight lighting effect. There is illumination in the primary magic, but Hu Yu is a warrior.

With the fluorescence of the magic ball, Hu Yu saw the scene around him. It appears to be a gourd-shaped cave, with nothing else around it except the bare stone walls, and the potholed ground is strewn with branches and ashes, which seem to be campfires left by passing travelers. In the corner of the cave, you can see some wild mushrooms, and a tattered iron sword is stuck in it.

It seems that the source of the sound of the soo has just disappeared.

Seeing the iron sword, Hu Yu perked up and picked up the sword. Although somewhat shabby. The blade of the sword is also full of gaps. But at least much better than his little dagger. I sensed that those Black Dragon Adventure Troupe people were about to come over. Hu Yu scattered the magic orb and prepared to go deeper into the cave. However, at this moment, there was a sudden 'ding' sound in his ears, which frightened Hu Yu's hand and almost threw out the iron sword he had just picked up.

It turned out to be a system prompt.

hurriedly took out the pendant, and a task prompt appeared in front of Hu Yu's eyes-

The mission progress has been changed, and the challenge mission 'Shadow Sniper' has been discovered.

"You rushed out of the city to investigate, and fell into the siege of the enemy; Once exposed. You will have no hope of survival. A mid-level warrior is about to enter the cave where you are hiding, killing him before he makes a sound. ”

"Mission Objective: Before the other party reacts, kill the Black Dragon Adventure Group minions who are about to enter the cave."

"Mission Tip: Make the most of the battlefield environment."

"Task reward: experience xxx, skill 'Qi Slash'."

"Note: Some of the rewards of the challenge task can be obtained before the mission, and there is no additional reward after the mission is successful, and double will be deducted if the mission fails."

"Do you accept the assignment?"

Seeing the task prompt, Hu Yu was shocked. The enemy is coming in? After a cursory look at the task description, Hu Yu hurriedly clicked to accept the task.

"The quest has been accepted, and you have obtained the skill 'Lifting Qi Slash'."

"The enemy is coming, be ready for battle."

A stream of information poured into Hu Yu's mind. Hu Yu noticed that he seemed to have 'learned' a combat skill—although it was impossible to describe the feeling, but the way he used his magic, the subtle adjustments of his movements, and the way his feet cooperated. All of them poured into Hu Yu's mind.

This is the 'Qi Lifting Chop', as the system said just now. Qi Slash is a skill that can only be mastered by intermediate warriors, this skill is not a regular combat skill, but a rare skill - Hu Yu's warrior companions have not learned it, but have only watched people use it in the arena. Although it will gradually lose its effect after level 50, but before that, this skill is a very deadly attack skill, with fast moves and high damage, which is very useful for both monster farming and PK.

Getting such a reward is naturally a benefit that Hu Yu did not expect; But he couldn't be happy—

In the mission description, it is mentioned that an enemy is coming. Hu Yu is very aware of the consequences of being discovered, and as for the punishment for failing the mission, it is not important.

If it is as stated in the quest prompt, then as long as that minion discovers his traces, Hu Yu will be finished.

And at this moment, there was a voice outside the cave.

"Jack, where are you going?" A faint shout came from afar.

"I have something left in the cave, and when I take it, I will follow. Go back first! A minion shouted from a closer distance.

"Be careful, the pursuers are almost here!"

"I know!"

It's really coming. The minion who was relatively close to the cave was not located by Hu Yu's 'reconnaissance technique', and if it weren't for the mission reminder and the shout just now, Hu Yu wouldn't even notice that he was so close.

What to do? Hu Yu was anxious in his heart, but with the sound just now, there was another sound in the cave.

The first two times he heard such a sound, Hu Yu thought that there was an enemy in the cave; However, this time, Hu Yu finally heard clearly-

The source of the sound is right on the top of the cave.

When I looked up, the top wall of the cave was covered with dense red dots, which were particularly terrifying in the dark; Hu Yu was stunned for a moment before he reacted - it was a cave bat.

Cave bats, level 5 monsters, basically have little combat power, and will not actively attack players; Their only role is to swarm and set off the atmosphere as the BGM changes when the player enters the cave. Some idlers have concluded that light armor and leather armor will not alarm this kind of monster when they enter the cave map alone, and only warriors wearing heavy armor will alarm this kind of small thing when they enter the cave or when a battle breaks out.

So that's what happened.

Thinking of the prompt of 'making good use of the battlefield environment' in the mission prompt just now, Hu Yu knew a little in his heart; the enemy was already very close, and without further ado, Hu Yu hurriedly walked towards the door of the cave.

"Think beautiful, damn, it's just a matter of doing something bad on weekdays, who will work for them at this time."

"If you provoke the Mage Guild and the City Lord's Mansion, they don't want to live, forget it, Lao Tzu doesn't want to give them a funeral."

"Fortunately, I quietly took a sum of money in advance, hehe. They must never have dreamed that the last time they lost their trading money was hidden here. ”

"When I take this money, I will fly away and go back to my hometown in Luyuan Town to marry Linna, and the ghost will continue to run errands for them."

"Hey, hey, hey, ......"

A little minion named Jack laughs lewdly outside the cave and lights up the flint with his voice. Moments later, the torch was lit, and Jack raised the torch and walked into the cave. However, just after entering the stone crack of the cave, there was a sudden thud under his feet.

It seems to have kicked something.

Jack didn't think much about it, and continued to walk inside, but at that moment, with a dense and high-pitched noise, something gray rushed to his face.

"Cave bats, damn ......"

Jack scolded, his footsteps sank, and a gust of wind erupted. This is the primary combat skill 'Battle Will Explosion', which can deter some smaller monsters, and with the strength of his intermediate warrior, he immediately blows these cave bats aside, but after the cave bats disperse, the magic sense in front of them not only does not disappear, but becomes more vigorous.

Not good, there are enemies!

In the cave in front of him, there was a young man standing one meter in front of him in a junior slash posture - there was almost no disguised figure, because of the bat attack just now, Jack didn't see it for a while.

In the narrow slit, Jack couldn't dodge; I didn't have time to draw my sword, and in a hurry, I had to block the torch in front of me; The other party's charge is already complete; The silver light flashed, and the torch broke in response; Jack's arm hurt as well—the other man's slash cut off the torch and slashed Jack's arm.

Suddenly he was caught off guard, and Jack suffered a big loss; However, blocking this attack, Jack also has a bottom in his heart.

The strength of the other party is not strong.

Although the technique of this charged slash is very proficient, the opponent's magic level is very low - it should only be at the level of a junior warrior, or even less. Jack's set of leather armor was specially enchanted by someone, although he couldn't block the opponent's charged slash, but the opponent's strongest charged slash can only cause this kind of Cheng dù damage, then other skills are not afraid.

With his mind racing, Jack, who had just been sneak attacked, had the confidence to defend against other kinds of attacks from his opponent and retreat sharply, while drawing his sword with his other hand, and at the same time shouting in a low voice:

"Who are you? For ......"

All of this happened in an instant, and Jack was still thinking about what move to use to counterattack, but the opponent's attack soon arrived—not another entry-level skill, 'Thorn Attack', nor other elementary skills, but a move that he didn't expect-

The silver slash cut through the darkness, and a single sword severed the arm that stood in front of him, and the aftermath pierced his throat with a bloody glow.

Jack opened his mouth and didn't say anything. He recognized this trick as the combat skill of an intermediate warrior, 'Lifting Qi Slash', and there were a few people in the regiment who could do it, but Jack himself begged several times, but no one was willing to teach him; he never expected that this young man, who seemed to be only a junior warrior, would actually use such a trick.

And this is also the only thought left in his consciousness. The next moment, Hu Yu threw the broken iron sword aside, kicked Jack's body to the side, and then squatted down against the wall himself.

Just now, Hu Yu threw the useless dagger between the gaps in the entrance of the cave; Jack kicked the dagger as he entered, and the sound alarmed the bats in the cave; In Hu Yu's world, bats use sound to distinguish their position, and for them, hearing is countless times clearer than seeing – and this is obviously the same in this world. So because of this small sound, these cave bats were immediately attracted to it, and the stupid minions were scrambling and full of flaws. However, just as he took the last step to kill the enemy, Hu Yu suddenly discovered another problem.

He couldn't use this newly acquired move. (To be continued......)
