Chapter 142: Side Quest
The torches eventually fell, and no matter how hoarse they screamed, no one wanted to risk picking them up out of thin air, and then floating in mid-air to bring them up again.
Why are these people so hoarse about the fall of torches?
The moment the torch fell into the pit, Mick learned the result.
Instead of a nest of snakes as Mick had thought, there was an endless stream of vines and plants that nestled at the bottom of the pit like snakes, and whenever there was any smell of blood, they would emerge from the bottom of the pit and devour everything.
But they are afraid of one thing, fire.
I saw that when the torch fell into the deep pit, it waited until it fell to the bottom, like a small spark, but the moment it landed and stuck to the vine, it suddenly seemed to touch a pool of fuel oil, and directly aroused a huge fire, which was extremely long, and before everyone could react, it had already occupied a small half of the entire deep pit.
The whole scene was thrown into chaos.
The inspectors and others next to the pit were busy trying to put out the fire, and the rescuers who survived wanted to try to leave from the side of the pit, but the countless vines in the pit kept making more violent friction sounds, trying to extinguish the flames, but there was no way, once their vines were stained with these flames, the only effect they could play was to fuel the fire.
I don't know how these vines grow, one by one and their long, but they are so black, so black that they are already black and shiny, and some of the vines can be clearly seen secreting oil, presumably this oil is one of the main reasons for fueling the fire, and the vines in this pit are slowly looked at clearly through the fire.
'Discover the side quest 'Destroy the Dryad: Kill the Dryad in the Pit', complete the quest to get 300 energy points, and deduct the corresponding power points if the quest fails, do you want to take the side quest?'
With a prompt sound, a column of words floating in the air suddenly appeared in front of Mick's eyes, and through the words, Mick could still see the vines that were struggling in the deep pit.
This was the first time Mick had seen this side quest, and he was a little hesitant to see the fire in this deep pit.
Since the mission has said so, there must be a dryad in this deep pit, but I don't know how many there are in this dryad, is there only one?
Mick finally set his eyes on the unburned corner of the pit, only to see that countless vines chose to throw themselves into the fire, just to lure the fire out of the unburned corner so that it could not burn, with the help of several people next to the pit, and now the fire is gradually developing in the direction of being controlled.
Seeing that the hint of the side quest in front of him was slowly fading, Mick gritted his teeth and took this side quest, and then jumped out of the corner where he was hiding, no longer afraid of the 'Night Dive' skill that he could only use once in nearly four days, and ran directly towards the few people with torches closest to him.
The torches they were still carrying were to light the way for the people who were out to fetch water, because the only place with water in the vicinity that was a little closer to the pit was a small stream, but it was also a certain distance from the pit.
Presumably, if there is a light of fire, the people who carry water back and forth to extinguish the flames of the pit will also fall all the way, especially now that there are many people in chaos, these people holding torches also play a role in maintaining order at the scene.
The men kept staring at the firefighters carrying buckets back and forth, but they didn't notice Mick scurrying behind them.
Mick was also in a hurry to go out before, except for the short dagger that he had already hidden on his body before, there was no other sharp weapon, and now he used short soldiers to kill people in front of everyone, if he assassinated one of Mike, he would have some confidence, and he would run away after killing. But now that so many people were standing in front of him, Mick estimated that his dagger had just touched the neck of the man with the torch, and it must have provoked a counterattack.
So he deliberately broke off a long branch before he hit the ground, and the leaves on the branch were not removed, and Mick held it in his hand.
Less than a few steps away from his goal, Mick was on the lookout for it, but he was eventually discovered. One of the fire bearers happened to be very alert, and he heard the sound of some strange branches scraping against the ground behind him, so he turned his head to watch behind him, and saw Mick, who was half-crouching, slowly walking towards him.
This person reacted quickly enough, and he was about to draw the long sword in his waist, and then he was about to shout to remind everyone.
Seeing this, Mick pounced on it with his legs, of course, the distance between them was still a little different, but with the help of the seriously injured long branch, it was enough. Mick swung the long branch in his hand and thrust it into his face, most importantly in his eyes.
As soon as a person's weakness is stimulated, it will inevitably form a knee-jerk reaction and go directly to protect his weakness, which is a typical case of the fire-holder. As soon as he opened his mouth to say something, he was slapped with leaves, and his right hand, which was about to draw the long sword at his waist, couldn't help but give up this move at this time, but raised his hand to try to block the long branch that attacked.
Mick's movements are not small, but his movements are extremely fast.
As soon as he saw that this person was trying to resist the long branch in his hand, Mick was also decisive, and directly thrust the long branch in his hand into his face, and then directly let go of his hand and did not care about the transfer of the target, only to see him bend down and open his hands and grab directly towards the waist of the fire-bearer, his purpose was very simple, to obtain the long sword on his waist.
As soon as he grasped the hilt of his sword, Mick knew that there was a play, and he drew his sword directly, and slashed it towards the right hand of the fire-wielder. The man didn't react at all, and the sword was still dealing with the long branch on his face as he drew it.
Therefore, he didn't see Mick's movements at all, but he could clearly feel it, when Mick's long sword slashed towards his right hand, he suddenly felt a pain, and quickly let go of the torch he was holding in his right hand, Mick took it directly, and then the sword turned right, and attacked another person next to him, but the torch that he took with his left hand was not empty, and it swung directly towards the face of the person who had just been attacked by himself.
This man was also unlucky, as soon as he recovered from the pain of the long branch, he saw a torch coming straight towards his face, and he felt a pain, only to feel that the hairs on his face had been rolled up, and there was a burst of roasting fragrance.
