"Then thank you, Mr. Village Chief." After speaking, Chen Mo looked at Elena with a smile, "Then I'll do this hidden mission by the way, and you can wait for my good news here." ”

"It seems that I have really found a good companion, with you, it seems that I just need to lie down and receive the reward." Elena said with a smile.

Chen Mo said with a smile: "Then remember to pay me for my salary, one eternal gold coin is not too little, and ten eternal gold coins is not too much." ”

"Then let me just wrap you up." Elena smiled and reached out to hook Chen Mo's chin and said.

"I'm afraid I can't afford it, I'm very expensive."

After a few jokes, Chen Mo left Elena and his men in the village, and walked alone to the mysterious maze that the village chief said.

He himself can fly, but in fact, he can go around it directly.

But the army could not get around.

For the sake of the safety of the army, Chen Mo still decided to go in first to explore the depths.

After leaving the village and walking about five kilometers in the green forest, Chen Mo finally saw a forest shrouded in mist.

"This miasma has a lot of coverage." Looking at the fog in front of him that seemed to be enough to envelop the entire world, Chen Mo realized that if this place came during the day, it would be difficult to move an inch at all.

He tried to use his sentience to perceive it.

Fortunately, the forerunner's perception ability has not failed, and the masking effect of this smoke miasma is equivalent to no one for Chen Mo.

Relying on his senses, he slowly stepped into the miasma.

Going deep into the misty forest, it is as if you have entered a mysterious world that is completely different from the human world.

In the boundless gloomy green, the smoke miasma was constantly rising and rolling, like the heat from hell that was suffocating.

The heat smacked of disgusting, rancid as if to warn all creatures who dared to enter this place, the realm of death.

Not long after Chen Mo smelled this smell, he was warned by the Heavenly Dao Prompt that he had been placed in the poisonous mist and began to lose blood continuously.

Moreover, this poisonous mist is quite powerful, and the shield on Chen Mo's body is completely ineffective against the poisonous mist

Chen Mo tried to hold his breath for a moment.

The main thing is to try to see if this poison can be avoided by holding your breath.

But obviously not, this poison can enter the body through the skin, and it is impossible to avoid it.

Seeing this, Chen Mo didn't care about this poisonous fog anymore.

After all, he wants to return blood and blood, or die or die, and he doesn't care too much about this blood deduction, and even relies on this poison brush to fight poison.

At this time, he was more curious about the two missing villagers.

"In this poisonous environment, my blood is falling so fast, can those two villagers withstand it?"

At this time, in the Green Forest Village, Elena and the others had already drunk the fruit wine prepared by the village chief.

The moment she drank the mellow fruit wine, Elena received a Heavenly Dao prompt, and she received a buff.

It is a buff that can reduce the damage of poison mist.

The villagers of Lvlin Village drink fruit wine all year round, and they have long had a strong resistance to the poisonous mist, so naturally they will not lose blood as quickly as Chen Mo.

But it's falling slowly, and it's still falling.

If no one comes to save them for a long time, they will still be poisoned.

The first thing you see when you enter the forest are all tall and ancient trees, their twisted bodies tightly entangled with dark vines, as if they are silently wailing, telling the strangeness and horror of this forest.

The deeper you go, the less green the environment becomes, replaced by some dim feeling.

After going deep into the lost forest, the leaves of the trees Chen Mo saw were withered and twisted, and all kinds of strange fungi were attached to them, emitting a suffocating stench.

The droplets of water on the leaves, mixed with toxins, dripped to the ground with a faint ticking sound.

Every drop is filled with corrosive power that makes people feel terrible.

The ground of this forest is covered with thick fallen leaves, and walking on it is like stepping on a blanket, making a rustling sound.

In the process of decaying, these fallen leaves emit a sour smell, mixed with smoke miasma and poisonous gas, forming a special atmosphere that makes people feel intimidated.

Looking at the rotting fallen leaves on the ground mixed with some unknown slime, Chen Mo couldn't help but feel a little disgusted, and he directly chose to float up and fly forward in the maze forest.

After going a little deeper, some unsettling sounds began to come from the labyrinth, the cries of various strange creatures, and the sound of poisonous gases flowing through the air.

Despite the forest's abundance of death and terror, the power of life still lives on in it.

Some oddly shaped plants stubbornly survive the smoke miasma, their leaves twisted and tough, and their surface covered with a thick layer of mucus, which is how they fight poison gases.

The flowers of these plants are even more bizarre, some like a burning fire, some like ice crystals, and they bloom with the color of life in this dead forest.

And deeper in the forest, there is a dark swamp.

Poisonous gas came out of the black soil, and the water here was black with a strong rancid smell, and Chen Mo estimated that the poisonous mist in the smoke miasma forest was evaporated from this swamp.

The swamp is home to some strange creatures, their twisted bodies flickering on the black water, giving people a terrifying feeling.

Through perception, Chen Mo found that there were quite a lot of monsters in this forest.

Smoke Miasma Ghost:

Appearance: The Smoke Miasma Ghost has a dark black smoke all over its body, has no obvious facial or limb features, and usually only sees a pair of red eyes.

Attributes: High evasion, low HP, weak physical and spell attacks, able to move silently in smoke.

Toxin Dryad:

Appearance: The Toxin Dryad is tall, with tangled branches and vines, light green skin, and red eyes.

Attributes: High defense and high HP, strong physical attack, can release toxin attacks, deal toxin damage, and poison enemies.

Smoke Miasma Spider:

Appearance: The Smoke Miasma Spider is massive, with eight fanged spider legs and a grayish-black spider belly. In smoke, their bodies appear to be made up of smoke.

Attributes: High attack power and medium HP, able to release toxin attacks and bite attacks, dealing physical and toxin damage.

Mist Behemoth:

Appearance: The Mist Behemoth is tall and strong, with sturdy scales and steely claws. Their bodies are shrouded in thick smoke, and their eyes are usually red.

Attributes: High Attack, High Defense and High HP, Able to absorb smoke to enhance their own strength, Able to unleash physical attacks and toxin attacks, Able to use ranged attacks and melee attack skills.

There are several such kinds.

Chen Mo compared these monsters with the soldiers under his command, although the number of soldiers under his command was enough, but if he really encountered these monsters and the two sides fought, the soldiers under his command were afraid that they would die a lot, so they didn't bring them over.

Of course, it was relatively easy for Chen Mo to deal with them by himself.

It's just that he is not in the mood to clash with these monsters at the moment, and he is searching for the two missing villagers of Luzhu Village in a circle in the lost forest.

At the same time, a large number of skeleton monsters under his command were also scattered and dispatched.

This can effectively increase the search efficiency.

But it's also easier to encounter monsters.

But this is only a 40-turn copy, each of Chen Mo's skeleton monsters is comparable to the damage of four turns, even if it encounters a monster, it is all the way to the push, there is no difficulty at all.

As Chen Mo entered the smoke miasma forest for 5 minutes, he couldn't help but complain: "This maze forest is also too big, I have such a large range of perception ability and three million skeleton monsters to look for it together, but I haven't found any trace of those two villagers?"

Is this a 12-hour time-limited mission? ”

Chen Mo couldn't help but wonder if he could only find someone if he came at night.

However, because the maze forest is too big, he has not searched the maze forest all over at present, but he has not given up directly.

In the following time, in this dark and mysterious forest, Chen Mo continued to look for the traces of the villagers.

A few moments later, just as he was about to give up preparing to attack Stormwind first, one of his skeletons spotted a faint clue.

Those were some footprints similar to human shoes, and Chen Mo found that these traces were left by human shoes after careful observation through his concentric ability.

Discovering this clue, Chen Mo suddenly perked up, and he asked the skeleton monsters to continue their search in this direction, while he himself accelerated his flight and rushed over.

As the skeleton monster moved in the direction in which it had found the footprints, Chen Mo soon found more footprints in the forest, as well as some discarded items and some broken cloth.

All of this proves that humans have been seen nearby, and that they are in the right direction.

"I've finally found it."

Seeing the broken fabric, Chen Mo was sure that he was not wrong.

However, he was a little curious, since he was a villager in the Green Forest Village, he should be very aware of the danger of this lost forest.

Knowing that it is so dangerous in the labyrinth, why did they choose to go deep into the labyrinth?

Soon, Chen Mo knew the reason.

Continuing to walk in the smoke and miasma forest, Chen Mo gradually found some strange traces, as if they were traces left by some kind of sacrificial ritual.

He couldn't help but frown slightly, the sight in front of him made him feel unusual.

In a few moments, the skeletons were already in front of a large circular altar made of earth and stone, with traces of blood and candle wax remaining on the altar, apparently some kind of ritual had just been performed here.

As the skeleton monster approached the center of the altar, Chen Mo found a strange object that exuded a dark aura, which looked like a medium used to summon demons.

There are also multiple cultist sacrifices in the vicinity, including animal carcasses and some unidentified objects.

The altar is surrounded by a circle of strange symbols and patterns, which are very mysterious and are likely used to strengthen the power of the ritual.

The entire altar exudes an eerie aura that makes people feel unusual and frightened.

"These two villagers can't have been kidnapped by cultists, right? Are you going to make a living sacrifice? ”

He began a meticulous search around the altar, and soon found more unusual traces.

The cultists placed multiple offerings around the altar, some of which still had signs of being tied, making them look like humans who had been used as sacrifices.

Chen Mo frowned slightly, and glanced at the Heavenly Dao prompt.

Fortunately, the countdown to the task is still decreasing normally, so it can be seen that the sacrificial objects currently used on this altar should not be the villagers of Luzhu Village.

"Since these guys chose to perform rituals in such a dangerous smoke miasma forest, what the hell are they trying to do?"

Chen Mo couldn't help but become more curious.

Judging by the traces, it is likely that these cultists are performing ritual summoning rituals of dark magic, possibly in order to summon some demon or other evil being.

They placed multiple offerings around the altar, including animal and human corpses, which also indicates that they needed sacrifices to enhance the power of the ritual.

In addition, the strange item in the center of the altar is also likely to be a medium used to summon, which is reminiscent of the summoning medium in ancient magic, and whatever they want to summon is obviously a very dangerous and evil existence.

"You won't summon some demon god down. This is just a copy of a turn. ”

But on second thought, this is a hidden quest, which is a type of branch, and this kind of hidden quest is sometimes not necessarily bound to the difficulty of the main quest.

It's like when you encounter a treasure realm, you may release a monster that far exceeds the strength of the current dungeon.

Although he was on guard in his heart, after all, he was arrogant and capable of saving his life, and Chen Mo was not very afraid.

And at present, he himself has not flown over, it is all skeleton monsters in action, even if he really summons the powerful demon god down, it can't hurt him.

As the skeleton continued to search quickly, more and more traces were revealed.

After a while, Chen Mo himself had already rushed here.

With the arrival of himself, the perception range was instantly larger than that of the skeleton monster, I don't know how much.

Soon, Chen Mo discovered an unusually crazy scene.

In a gloomy clearing ahead, a group of cultists, dressed in black robes and smeared with strange symbols on their faces, gathered around a huge stone platform, whispering an incomprehensible language, chanting in a strange tone like a voice coming from the depths of hell, making people shudder to listen to it.

And after chanting for a while, the behavior of these cultists became even more bizarre and crazy.

Some kept spinning in circles in place, as if they were dancing an evil dance, while others frantically ripped off their own hair and smeared it with blood, which slowly burned on the stone platform, giving off a foul smell.

There are also cultists who grab the dirt from the ground and stuff it into their mouths vigorously, as if enjoying a strange delicacy.

On either side of the stone platform, two villagers tied to pillars, their bodies tightly bound by thick ropes, their faces pale as paper, and their eyes full of fear.

They looked at these cultists who were so mad in front of them that they seemed to see the devil in hell.

Their bodies trembled, their lips twitched, and they wanted to call for help, but fear prevented them from making any sounds.

They have been living in a paradise-like maze of forests, and they have never seen such a strange situation.

But fortunately, it is still daytime, and these cultists are not directly holding a sacrificial summoning, but are just making some preliminary preparations, so the two villagers are quite safe.

It is the perverted behavior of the cultists around them that has really caused them considerable psychological fear.

Each time the cultists perform a strange ritual, they bite each other, drink each other's blood, and let out a maniacal laugh, as if enjoying an incomparable pleasure.

There is no humanity in their eyes, only madness and evil.

Around their bodies, there was a black air current, a breath full of death and a foul smell.

Chen Mo sensed the attributes of these cultists, their attributes were actually not high, and even a casual level 40 professional could deal with them.

This made Chen Mo very puzzled, after all, these cultists were a little too weak.

This is a hidden quest for SSS-level difficulty dungeons, and it doesn't match the intensity at all!

Can this hidden mission really be done so easily?

Although he felt a little unreasonable, Chen Mo still ordered the skeleton monsters under his command to attack.

For a moment, arrows and energy bullets flew densely towards these cultists.

Based on the Skeletons' current powerful attack power, their attacks that fall on these junk cultists should kill one at a time.

But when the Skeleton Monster's attack fell on the cultists, although the health of these cultists was instantly emptied, all of them were strangely not dead!

At the same time, they all looked in the direction of Chen Mo's location.

But Chen Mo is now in a state of seclusion, and it stands to reason that it is impossible for these rubbish cultists to see him.

At this moment, Chen Mo couldn't help but feel that the current scene was even more weird.

At the same time, I also confirmed my thoughts, and sure enough, the hidden mission is not so easy to do!

At the feet of those cultists, Chen Mo found some mysterious runes, and if you look closely, you will find that these runes are regularly intertwined with each other, as if forming a strange magic array.

Chen Mo's intuition told him that this magic array might be the reason for the cultist's immortality.

Thinking of this, Chen Mo glanced at the central area surrounded by these runes, if this is a magic array, then the central area of the runes should be the eye of the magic array, and destroying the eye of the array should be equivalent to destroying this magic array!

With a clear target, Chen Mo immediately ordered all the skeleton monsters to turn around and blast all the attacks towards the central area of the magic array.

In the face of Chen Mo's attack, these cultists didn't pay any attention to it, but simply chanted words in their mouths.

As a large number of Chen Mo Skeleton Monster's attacks fell to the center of this magic array, a powerful magic force was suddenly released from the formation, and in an instant, a strange and deep hole like a black hole appeared in the center of the magic array, and this terrifying hole eye continued to rotate and swept the surrounding trees, stones, and even smoke miasma poison gas and the arrows and energy bullet attacks of the skeleton monster into it.

If the two villagers were not tied up, they were afraid that they would be sucked away, Chen Mo directly threw out the shield skill to them, although according to the task time suggested by the Heavenly Dao, the two of them should not die so early, but it was still just in case to say it.

As a strange black hole appeared in the center of the magic array, absorbing everything around it.

At this time, the cultists' bodies also began to change, their eyes emitted a crimson light, their skin became dark, and their whole bodies began to surge with black liquid visible to the naked eye, as if an invisible force was expanding in their bodies.

Their eyes became wild, completely losing their reason and humanity, and the whole person seemed to have turned into a devil.

There was an aura of darkness all over his body, and it looked even more terrifying than before.

Under the influence of this dark force, their attributes suddenly became extremely powerful, and even some high-level professionals could not reach them.

Seeing this scene, Chen Mo frowned slightly.

These cultists, who looked relatively weak, actually became so powerful with the help of the magic array, and the most perverted thing was that they were completely immortal, which was the most difficult thing to do!

If you want them to die, you have to crack the magic array first, and the magic array will swallow the attack, and it can't be destroyed at all, as if you have fallen into an unsolvable cycle.

Unable to get through all the way, Chen Mo could only start to think of other ways to crack this magic array.

However, at this time, those cultists were not idle, and they didn't know why they could see Chen Mo and his skeleton monsters, after they were all greatly strengthened, they directly attacked Chen Mo and his skeleton monsters from afar!

These cultists all have skilled dark spells, and their lethality is amazing, and combined with their current powerful attributes, normal people are bound to retreat when they encounter them.

However, they didn't rely on their enhanced attributes to attack Chen Mo and his skeleton monster now, they actually chose a prayer ritual to send out a strange attack.

I saw the strange gestures in the hands of these cultists, and the next moment, they all suddenly shouted in unison, and what came out of their mouths was a strange language that Chen Mo had never heard before.

During the recitation of the strange incantation, they raised their hands in unison and stretched out their index fingers to point at Chen Mo and his skeleton monster, and then the incantation in their mouths became louder and faster, as if they were calling for something.

After a while, Chen Mo felt the magical elements in the air begin to surge wildly, and a depressing atmosphere instantly enveloped the entire area.

Around the cultist's body, a black magical energy appeared, and this energy was like a black hole, devouring everything around it.

Then, the cultists suddenly opened their mouths and spit out puffs of black smoke from their mouths.

The smoke quickly spread through the air, forming a huge black cloud.

The black clouds continued to gather and rotate in the air, and the speed became faster and faster, like a huge black hurricane, which would sweep everything at any time.

Boom! Boom! With an earth-shattering roar, the black clouds suddenly burst open, and black lightning shot out from the clouds violently, like black dragons, rushing towards Chen Mo and his skeleton monsters.

The speed of these black lightning bolts was extremely fast, as if they were able to travel through space, and they arrived in front of Chen Mo and the skeleton monsters almost instantly.

Chen Mo clearly sensed that these black lightning bolts were fundamentally different from ordinary attacks.

These black lightning bolts carried a terrifying destructive power, and each lightning bolt brought him a strong sense of threat, as if with a destructive force.

As the black lightning frantically fell into Chen Mo's team.

The skeleton monster beside Chen Mo began to explode continuously, turning into a large pile of white bone powder, and then disappeared cleanly.

No matter how thick the shield or HP of these skeleton monsters is, each bolt of lightning is enough to instantly turn a skeleton into powder.

However, the lightning falling on Chen Mo's body obviously had no such effect.

Chen Mo also understood that this lightning simply had the ability to kill summons in seconds.

Of course, the damage of the lightning itself is also very high, but the threat is not as terrifying as it currently appears.

Seeing that the black lightning was simply looking at the big formation, and the threat was not so big, Chen Mo didn't pay attention to it, but continued to think about how to solve the situation in front of him.

After taking a closer look, he suddenly noticed that these cultists actually had the same symbols on their bodies as they appeared on the ground.

"Could it be that the symbols on their bodies are not related to the symbols on the ground that make up the magic array?

Since the physical changes of these cultists are closely related to the magic array, if the magic array cannot be destroyed, it may be possible to destroy the magic array by destroying the symbols on the cultists. ”

Thinking of this, Chen Mo immediately ordered the still surviving skeleton monster to target the symbol on the cultist and launch an attack.

As a large number of arrows and energy bullets crackled out, a black and oppressive rain curtain was formed in an instant, sweeping towards the cultists like a torrential wind.

Arrows whizzed, slicing through the air, and energy projectiles screeched like cannonballs, leaving trails in the air and swishing sounds.

The black oppressive attack poured down, like a heavenly river pouring down, and the symbols on those cultists were frantically impacted by arrows and energy bullets, and after a while, the symbols on their bodies began to shatter continuously.

I don't know why, they haven't screamed miserably when they were originally emptied of blood.

Originally, they had never screamed bitterly when they hurt each other.

Now when the symbols on their bodies were attacked and shattered, they actually let out a series of terrible howls in unison, like torn beasts.

The scene was eerie.

As the Skeleton Monster's attacks continued to fall, more and more of the Cultist's symbols were completely destroyed, and at the same time, the dark power on the Cultist's body slowly subsided, their bodies gradually regained their normal color, and their red eyes gradually lost their light.

After a while, the symbols on the ground began to crack and shatter, making strange noises.

As more and more symbols were damaged, the wails of the cultists became louder and louder, like the wails of a hundred ghosts, resounding throughout the area, making the monsters that originally lived in the maze afraid to come closer.

As the last symbol broke, the strange black hole in the center of the magic array also suddenly stopped rotating, and after some struggle, it shattered and disappeared, and the entire magic array also lost its power, and those once powerful cultists all lay weak on the ground and continued to twitch, they groaned miserably, their bodies seemed to be drained of all their life force, and instantly became extremely weak.

Within three breaths, their bodies suddenly trembled, and then, as if drained of water, their bodies quickly dried up, and finally turned into a dry corpse, which decomposed into the ground, leaving not even white bones.

Seeing this, Chen Mo felt more and more strange in his heart, and he always felt that the matter was not over yet.

After all, the Heavenly Dao prompts didn't sound, and it was obvious that simply destroying the magic array was not the focus of this hidden mission.

However, just as Chen Mo was thinking like this, suddenly, the corpse of one of those shriveled and rotting cultists did not decompose, but suddenly rose up a black smoke, and the smoke of the black mist condensed on the corpse extremely quickly, and finally formed a strange skeleton with a whole body that was pitch black to shiny.

This skeleton exuded a terrifying aura, and his eyes flickered with cold green flames.

Every step he took was accompanied by the sharp sound of bones rubbing.

And above him, the strange cloud that the cultist had summoned before that could split black lightning also condensed again.

Black lightning was rolling and flashing in the clouds.

Black skeletons, black lightning, and black forests make up a terrifying and shocking picture.

The moment he saw the black skeleton appear, Chen Mo immediately sensed his attributes.

Obviously, the black skeleton in front of him must be defeated in order to complete the mission and protect the two innocent villagers.

However, when Chen Mo was looking at the black skeleton attributes.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang in the center of the magic array, and the location of the hole hole of the black hole before was torn apart, and a dazzling light poured out of it.

Chen Mo turned his head to look, only to see that in the center of that crack, a person actually appeared!

This person obviously has something to do with those cultists, because he is also wearing a set of black robes with the same standard as those cultists before, but his black robe is more high-end and atmospheric.

This person is slender, and the aura emanating from his body is extremely terrifying, as if it can make the air around him oppressive and heavy.

"I'm not afraid of the cultists' leader." Chen Mo said secretly in his heart.

At this time, the man's face was gloomy, he looked at Chen Mo and his skeleton monster, and said coldly: "Is it you who destroyed my Abyss Great Array and killed our disciples of the Abyss God Sect!" ”

As soon as the words fell, he stretched out his hand and instantly summoned a huge black magic hand, grabbing Chen Mo in the air.

"The Abyss Cult?"

Chen Mo instantly felt that this word was a little familiar.

He immediately flipped out the Heavenly Dao prompt and glanced at it.

It was immediately clear.

Good guy, isn't the leader of the Abyss God Sect one of the four marshals of the empire who was given before the Heavenly Dao prompt?

This seems to be the lord of Stormwind.

Chen Mo recalled the relevant information about this world that Heavenly Dao had given him before.

If the lord of Stormwind City could be killed here, wouldn't it be much easier to siege the city.
