"Ah, are you the thief apprentice in Drifting Snow City?Welcome! Welcome to Wind and Sand City!" Old Man Bossy threw over an appraisal technique, and after getting Xiao Hua's information, his originally flat face suddenly stretched out, and said with a smile on his face.

"Thank you, thank you. Seeing such a big change in this old man, Xiao Hua sweated profusely in his heart, and the bad feeling hit again.

"It's been a long time since I've seen Lena's girl, is she okay?" asked Bercy as he looked Xiao Hua up and down and smiled.

"Very good!" I'm afraid no one lives better than the one who opened her eyes at the "gold coin"!

"Of course, she took in a promising apprentice like you, it's hard to think about it! I've always envied Lena, and I think from time to time that if only you had come to Windblown Sand City and be my apprentice in the first place. Bethie was very regretful, and could even say bitterly.

"But please don't get me wrong, I'm not as greedy for money as Lena!" Bethie seemed to be afraid that Xiao Hua would misunderstand, and then added with great righteousness.

Xiao Hua looked at the undisguised greed flashing in Bercy's eyes speechlessly, his sister, there are no three hundred taels of silver here, and he can't describe this old man's behavior! What he said and what he did were completely different things!

However, he likes this kind of NPC with a surname, and Xiao Hua is very sensible and handed over 1000 gold coins.

"No, I'm not a greedy person, if I accept your money and the people above know about it, I will definitely be punished!" Bethie painfully rejected the gold coin handed over by Xiao Hua, as if he had learned a similar painful lesson.

OK, it seems that the management here is relatively strict, Xiao Hua's eyes rolled, and he immediately had a way!

"Oops, who dropped the money!" Throwing 1,000 gold coins from his backpack, Xiao Hua pointed to the gold coins on the ground and shouted.

"Mine, my!" said Bethes, overjoyed, picking up the gold coins from the ground!

"Mentor Percy, can you give me a task now?" Xiao Hua wiped his sweat, grandma's, now he even has to use his brains to bribe NPCs, but fortunately, his father has rich experience in bribery, and he has inadvertently learned both hands.

"Of course that's fine. Bethie nodded with satisfaction, "But your mission, you must know that it is a bit special. Let's be honest with you, Wind and Sand City is different from the Thieves Guild in Drifting Snow City, I can't give you a mission that only needs money like Lena, and your promotion mission, I can only provide an S-level extremely difficult mission, and an ordinary normal promotion mission. Old man Percy was in a good mood and went through the tasks one by one.

Hearing the old man's words, Xiao Hua frowned, if he only needed gold coins to complete the task, although he only had hundreds of thousands of gold coins left on his body now, he could also make enough money by selling the equipment that was not used in the warehouse.

"What kind of task is this S-class mission?" Xiao Hua also wanted to hear what kind of mission it would be this time, to see if there was a chance to fish in troubled waters.

"At present, the thieves union only has an S-class mission, so you don't have a choice, this task is difficult, it is estimated that you will not be able to complete it, under normal circumstances, you have to take the task to know the content of the task, but this time it will be an exception. ”

"Have you ever heard how this area came to be?" the old man asked.

"Probably yes. Xiao Hua remembered the story of the female elf city lord.

"Then it's simple. In fact, more than a month ago, the huge stone that had been sleeping at the bottom of that sinkhole for many years suddenly cracked, and a huge fire dragon emerged from it!

The task you have to do, please don't worry, of course you will not be called to kill the fire dragon. More than half a month ago, a thief in the thieves' union who went to investigate the information of the fire dragon accidentally alarmed the fire dragon, and then was tragically poisoned by the fire dragon, and the body lay next to the fire dragon and turned into white bones, all you have to do is to retrieve the thief's bones, as long as you can retrieve three pieces, you will complete the task!"

"That's it?" Xiao Hua was quite surprised, although the fire dragon was very powerful, but running to its side to pick up three bones, although the difficulty was great, it would not have an S-level difficulty.

"It's not easy, you can't get to the fire dragon by stealth, once you alarm the fire dragon, no matter how powerful you are, you will end up like that thief! And I need to remind you that the fire dragon has been frequently harassed by adventurers recently, and under the attack of adventurers and fire dragons, those bones may be left. And once the fire dragon is killed, when the fire dragon's huge body falls, it will crush the bones around it, and your mission will naturally fail!" Mentor Bercy shook his head and added.

"If you want to move up, it's best to do it early. But there's one more thing I have to make clear. Under the normal steps, you have to take the task first, and the bones you get will count, and you can choose to accept the task and then go to the fire dragon to carry out the mission, but your promotion opportunity is only so once, and if you fail, you can only choose to do the ordinary promotion task. Old man Percy glanced at Xiao Hua meaningfully.

Uh, this is simple, Xiao Hua immediately threw another 10,000 gold coins from his backpack to the ground: "Oops, who dropped this money!"

"Mine, my!" a large pile of shiny gold coins appeared on the ground, and Old Man Percy bent diligently to pick them up.

......, "How do you get to that sinkhole?" Out of the thieves' union, Xiao Hua immediately sent a message to Zhan Wushuang. Old man Percy has been calling that place a sinkhole while it is hot, but the specific location has not been mentioned.

"What are you going to do there?" Zhan Wushuang asked in surprise, except for the new Ox Fork Boss Fire Dragon that has appeared recently, there is not even a single mob there, and there is no grass on the ground, which is weird and abnormal, and there is no way to talk about things like gathering.

"I'm on a mission, I'm going to get there and find something. ”

"Oh, that's it. It's a four- to five-hour walk along the east side of Wind and Sand City, and the specific coordinates are this. Zhan Wushuang sent Xiao Hua a coordinate.

"Also, if you are in a hurry, it's best to set off now, the Blood Moon Guild will attack the Fire Dragon tomorrow afternoon, although the Tiantian Pit is extremely large, there is only one entrance more than ten meters wide, and the Blood Moon Guild will almost send someone to seal the entrance at this time. ”

"Thanks!"

"Xie Mao, the mission can't be passed, just speak!" said Zhan Wushuang heartily.

...... Leaving the city from the east gate, Xiao Hua sat on his mount and walked straight to the east. At this time, it was ten o'clock in the middle of the night, and the unbearably hot weather during the day was no more, Xiao Hua was walking alone outside the city, but it was a little cool.

Outside the East Gate was originally a Gobi landform, but it didn't take long for the Gobi landform to quickly transform into an endless desert, and Xiao Hua walked in it, and he didn't have to worry about losing his way.

More than three hours later, under the bright starlight, Xiao Hua felt that the sand under his feet had changed a little, under the night, the sand seemed to have a dark red feeling, and it didn't take long for the surrounding sand to become like this, walking in it alone, there was an indescribable weird feeling!

Following the coordinates given by Zhan Wushuang, after about half an hour, Xiao Hua saw that the red sand under his feet gradually turned black!

The deep black sand, even if there is starlight in the sky, but it is still a bright starlight, shining on the black sand, it is as if it has been shot into a black hole. Xiao Hua walked on the black sand, if it weren't for the feeling of solidity under his feet, and the rustling sound made when his feet stepped on the sand, on this boundless black sand, it was easy for people to have the illusion that he was walking in the void at the moment!

When Xiao Hua was trying to move forward in the black sand, not far ahead, there was still a place of black sand, and the edge of this black sand was a high vertical sand cliff, and under the sand cliff was a pot-like black pit.

At the edge of the black sand, a road more than ten meters wide slowly sloped to the black pit, and at this time, in the passage, there were twenty or thirty people standing in a row, blocking the passage so airtightly!

"This black sand area is really not a place for people to come at night, and I am not used to it no matter how many times I come. There wasn't a single monster around, and one of the players standing in a row with nothing to do said in disgust.

"It's not bad to have so many people with you, at least you can talk, if you are alone, you are really looking for guilt. The man replied with a smile.

"The boss is too careful, Wind Sand City is also a town-level guild of our Blood Moon family, there are thousands more people than ordinary guilds, whoever dares to make trouble, there is no need to block the road at all!"

"Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, but I guess the boss also thinks that no one will come to make trouble, or he won't only send such a few people. ”

Twenty or thirty people just barely blocked the road more than ten meters wide, making it impossible for people to sneak through. Most of the players blocking the road are mages and archers, all of whom are used to defend against stealthy assassins.

"Yes, unless this person doesn't want to live,......" one of the archers who was closer to the side of the road responded with a smile, but at this time, everyone's eyes lit up, and a black shadow like thunder and lightning suddenly appeared from a pitch-black space not far away, and pounced towards the archer!

"Assassin!" Under the true eyes and eagle eyes of the grandmaster-level people, of course, this sneaking black shadow was invisible and revealed, but the speed made everyone unbelievable!

The archer who was targeted by the black shadow panicked when he saw it, and hurriedly wanted to draw the bow to attack, but he felt that his body sank, and the black shadow pounced on his side in an instant, and a white light that shone in the dark night suddenly appeared, and a series of terrifying red and purple injuries floated on the bower's head, and the archer turned into white light in an instant before he could make any attack!

The rest of the Blood Moon Guild players were horrified, the archers were almost killed instantly! They were also like the archers, they didn't even have time to launch any attacks, how could this be!
