Lin Qi followed Su Ling'er's instructions and came to the guild hall. Since it was still morning, there were not many people here.

There was also a receptionist in the guild hall, an old man with a gray beard. Lin Qi remembered that his name was Guo Fu, and everyone called him Fu Bo.

"Fauber is early."

Guo Fu, who was standing behind the counter, saw the person coming and showed a professional smile.

"Childe, you are early, is there anything that the old man can help with?"

"I'm now level 14, and the copy of the Desolate Army has also passed. There doesn't seem to be any task to do at the moment, so Ling'er asked me to come to you. ”

Lin Qi was more polite to Guo Fu, adhering to the traditional virtues of the Chinese people respecting the old and loving the young, and the expression on Guo Fu's face was visibly softer.

"Hmm...... It is true that there is only a matter of mountain bandits in the north, but their leader has not been found, and it is not known when it will appear. Further north is the territory of the King of the North, so you don't want to go over there. You can look to the east, go east along the official road, there will be a sentry there, and the captain of the outpost will need your help. ”

Lin Qi nodded, Guo Fu gave him a lot of information, and then asked, "Do you have any news about the mayor?" ”

Guo Fu turned his head to look around, and seeing that no one was looking, he leaned closer to Lin Qi and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"We suspect that he may have been kidnapped or assassinated by an envoy from the capital."

"What?"

Lin Qi was taken aback by this remark, he was actually just asking casually, but he didn't expect to get such explosive news.

"Shh......h Are you so loud that you are not afraid that your old speculation will be known by others? ”

"Oh, yes, yes, yes."

Lin Qi slapped his mouth and lowered his voice a lot.

"Do you have any evidence for that?"

"How can this be, if there is evidence, it will not be too early to save the mayor. However, it was a coincidence that after the envoy arrived, he seemed to have a conflict with the mayor. After the mayor disappeared later, he was also gone. But he didn't go back to Qinglong Pass, so he stopped at the sentry. You say there's no problem with that. ”

Lin Qi thought about it for a while, and felt that things were indeed too coincidental, and he didn't know what would be in it. But since I'm going to the outpost myself, I'm going to take a look.

However, Lin Qi suddenly reacted, and the reactions of these NPCs were indeed different. He remembered that he had asked many NPCs about the mayor before, but most of them had been stiff answers. This Guo Fu's reaction was already very vivid, and he was a little curious about what kind of butterfly effect the changes of these NPCs would bring.

Lin Qi said goodbye to Guo Fu and walked along the main road of the town to the east gate. As soon as he walked out of the East Gate, the exclamation mark on the head of the doorman NPC attracted Lin Qi's attention.

(Now NPCs with quests actually have prompts on their heads, which is getting more and more foolish.) ）

"Hello, is there anything I can do to help?"

Lin Qi asked the doorman who provided the task. The doorman saluted Lin Qi and said immediately.

"Hello Warriors, I have two urgent matters here that I want you to help with. First of all, the north gate was attacked by spirit beasts, which affected our communication with the outpost. Please help us clean up the nearby spirit beasts.

Secondly, I have a letter for help here, which is a letter from the mayor of the town to the sentry post before, since the road is not smooth, please help send it to the sentry and give it to the captain of the sentry. ”

"Hmm...... Good. ”

Lin Qi nodded yes, and the system suddenly issued a voice prompt.

- Mission accepted: The Beast of the East Gate. Kill 10 spirit wolves entrenched outside the east gate.

- Accept the mission: Give the distress letter to the Border Guard Captain.

- Obtain the quest item: Letter for Help.

After taking on two tasks at once, Lin Qi was still a little surprised, and it also involved the mayor. He retrieved the letter from his inventory and found that there was mud on it. It's not good to open it privately, so I have to give up.

(What is this spirit animal?) Haven't heard of it before. ）

Lin Qi walked to the official road outside the town. From a distance, I saw that there were many strange spirit wolves scattered on the road, these beasts resembled wild wolves, but the upper body was stronger, the fangs were bent and exposed, and there were two horns on the forehead, and the body was translucent.

(This is the spirit wolf?) It looks a lot stronger than a wolf. ）

Lin Qiyuan clicked on a spirit wolf on the interface, and the interface to view the attributes of wild monsters popped up.

Name: Spirit Wolf

Attribute summons

Level 15

Health 600

Attack 370

Defense 120

The wolf has a red health bar on the top of its head, which indicates the current health.

(Oops, I've finally seen the attributes of the wild monsters, which are not good.) Health and defense are a little higher than their own, but the attack gap is larger. It seems that the difficulty is okay, and there should be no surprises. ）

Lin Qi took aim at a spirit beast, deterred it from a distance, and instantly entered a combat state. Observe the behavior of wild monsters first, and then find countermeasures, rash action will inevitably suffer losses, and static braking is more safe.

To Lin Qi's surprise, this strong-looking spirit wolf did not rush up, but stood in place and continued to energize. Before Lin Qi could react, the spirit wolf opened its bloody mouth and spewed out a flash sphere from its mouth, flying towards Lin Qi quickly.

The distance was not far away, and the flying speed of the ball of light also exceeded Lin Qi's expectations, and Lin Qi could only turn sideways while slashing in the direction of the ball of light with a horizontal knife. It was a completely knee-jerk move, and he didn't know if he would be able to dodge it.

I don't know if luck was on Lin Qi's side, the ball of light touched Lin Qi's horizontal knife and exploded not far in front of him. But even so, Lin Qi also received some splash damage.

(Cutting bullets with a knife or something, it's all a lie.) ）

Lin Qi staggered back two steps, and hurriedly turned his head to look at the spirit wolf, but it simply did not take advantage of the situation to pursue. The spirit wolf was still staring at Lin Qi in place, and after a few seconds, it began to charge again.

(You can't hit it hard, you can only dodge.) To test out the nearest judgment boundary for a long-range attack. ）

Lin Qi waited until the moment when the spirit wolf spit out the ball of light, and at the same time took a step forward and stopped.

The spirit wolf did not charge his strength this time, but lowered his head, and used the sharp horns on his head to face Lin Qi, and rushed towards him.

(About 3 meters away.) ）

Lin Qi had a rough assessment of the distance of the spirit wolf's long-range and short-range attacks, and what he needed to deal with was the next melee combat move.

The wolf's charge is fast, but the focus of the attack is very focused, and it is easier to dodge than the boar's charge. But Lin Qi didn't dare to be careless, and took a sideways step to dodge early.

As soon as the spirit wolf's collision crossed Lin Qi's previous position, he turned around in a vertical leap on the spot, and the tail slashed his head and face and swept towards Lin Qi's door.

Lin Qi raised his horizontal knife to parry, his eyes skimming to the tail of the spirit wolf. It was a tail with barbs at the top, and it was more like a mace. Such a parry might still be pierced by the barbs at the tip, Lin Qi hurriedly jumped back.

Sure enough, the horizontal knife happened to block the tail spike, but the power shook Lin Qi's arm numb, and he retreated again and again.

(It's a bit sinister, this spirit wolf is so aggressive.) I don't know if this is two or three moves, and if there are any moves? ）

Just as Lin Qi was worried, after the spirit wolf spun in the air and landed, he directly pounced.

Normally, if you fend off a tail flick attack, you will be repelled by the impact. If you can retreat, there must be a certain amount of hardness, and then the hit rate of this flying pounce will increase significantly.

But Lin Qi was too familiar with the wild wolf's pounce, and the spirit wolf's pounce was exactly the same. Although my feet are stiff and I don't have time to dodge, I can still adjust my posture. Lin Qi dodged and fell directly to the ground, while the horizontal knife in his right hand was still on his shoulder.

The spirit wolf jumped over Lin Qi's head, but his abdomen was slashed by his horizontal knife. This time it did a lot of damage, but it didn't defeat the spirit wolf. Lin Qi took a look at the blood bar, this damage had already passed more than half, and it seemed that his attack needed two hits to kill the spirit wolf.

(That's the four moves, and the next one should be a ramming attack, so the fight is over.) ）

Sure enough, as Lin Qi expected, the spirit wolf's AI used a ramming attack after judgment. Lin Qi stepped out in front of him, turned around and slashed at it, slashing at the spirit wolf's waist and abdomen before it could stop.

The spirit wolf fell to the ground in response and never stood up again, and Lin Qi won his first victory against the spirit wolf.

Looking at his HP, the splash attack just now actually caused 120 damage. Secretly screaming in his heart, Lin Qi took out the red elixir that could restore his life.

It can be eaten in the soul realm, and it also has a sense of taste. This red life potion has a bit of a strawberry flavor, so it is also nicknamed strawberry juice by players.

(This wild wolf is really powerful, but the main thing is that it can't be killed with one hit, so the probability of making a mistake has also increased.) If another player attacks with a normal weapon, it may take several hits to kill. ）

After his life was restored to full value, Lin Qi continued to embark on the road of upgrading.
