C11 Talk to a Hidden Mission

After the androids left, the skeletons respawned again, and the peaceful autumn rule was to continue fighting the skeletons on the spot and so on.

The Skeleton Battlefield was a training ground on the Island of Courage that gave the most experience points. When the game first started, it was also an important place for the experts to fight for the opportunity to train.

However, in the current situation, even the players who knew about it would leave Courage Island because they no longer needed to stay at their levels. For the players who had been playing for a long time, although the battlefield still had EXP, it would not drop any valuable treasures. They might as well go to other places to train and wait for opportunities to get higher level treasures.

No players would enter the Skeleton Battleground, which was also considered to be monopolizing it by Ping Qiuyuan.

Although he didn't have the help of the androids this time, with the help of the set equipment, he was able to take it all by himself. Ping Qiuyuan didn't need to drink so many healing potions to fight a single skeleton. He only needed around three bottles of healing potions. It was a huge reduction in the cost of healing potions. However, if he did not exchange the dagger in his hand, there was still no way to increase the damage. The cost of healing potions still continued to increase.

The number of gold coins that the Skeletons dropped was much higher than the number of gold coins that the Goblins dropped. It was only about two more gold coins. With such a miserly attitude, this was truly a gaming company that could make money.

Compared to the androids who fought with ease, Pingyuan and the Skeletons still used a desperate tactic, one slash at a time. All this time, they had always used positioning and other tactics, but they had never been able to escape from the attack range of the Skeletons. On the contrary, it had developed into an awkward situation where they would charge to the front of the skeletons and get beaten up every time.

Perhaps, just like the androids had said, only the running position of the Pingqiu Yuan could be equal to zero!

The battle with the skeleton had already reached the end. When the skeleton's curved blade was about to hit the ground, the Pingqiu Yuan also immediately activated the skill's large slash effect. The sharp blade of the short sword bounced away the falling curved blade and immediately caused the skeleton to suffer 21 points of damage.

'Is it used up? ' At this moment, Ping Qiuyuan realized that his Healing Potion had been used up, and his HP was only left with less than 100 points.

Then, one time, two times, three times and four times, he continuously used large slashes. Finally, before his mana ran out, he finally shattered the skeleton.

After confirming that the skeleton that he had used up all his mana to defeat had no more health, a Return Scroll automatically appeared in his hand.

Crack! Crack! Crack! The sound of bones rubbing against each other appeared on the battlefield for the first time.

When Ping Qiuyuan defeated the last skeleton, he had just respawned from the previous batch of skeletons. The skeletons were full of experience and gold coins. However, he did not have the strength to do so. He did not have any HP, so he drank all the healing potions. He did not want to leave as soon as possible. In other words, he was courting death.

Even though it was a pity, he still quickly picked up the gold coins and equipment on the ground. He also picked up some unknown items along the way. He then used the Village Return Scroll and immediately turned into a white light to teleport back to Kikiji Village.

After returning to Kikiji Village, the first destination of the Pingqiu Plain was to go to the grocery store. Although it was already past six in the morning, there was not a single player in the village. On the contrary, the NPCs were basically saying good morning to each other.

As usual, it took Pingqiu Yuan half an hour to completely ignore the road. After circling the entire village, he finally saw the only grocery store in Kikiji Village.

Along the way, they also saw the female fortune teller who had been touched by the android. They didn't know when, but there was an additional sign on the small table in front of her: "No touching! It was likely that the engineer couldn't bear to see the android's special behavior.

Upon entering the grocery store, the boss of the grocery store immediately welcomed them in a loud voice.

"Welcome! What do you want? "We have everything we need. The special ice-type demon ice cream from Kikiji Village is selling well!

Ping Qiuyuan didn't pay much attention to the lady boss's greeting. He just looked at the remaining gold coins and the potions he wanted to buy in the gold bar.

After the artificial man left, he spent more than two hours fighting the skeletons, deducting the gold coins and the healing potions. What was left was a pile of equipment and curved blades from the Skeleton Set, as well as a few strange items.

Perhaps because he was an NPC, he had no idea how to buy and sell items. He only saw the grocery store use ten gold coins to buy the skeleton equipment, and Ping Qiu Yuan did not hesitate to sell all the skeleton equipment other than his own equipment to the grocery store.

However, the price of a skeleton set was actually 30 gold coins. If he gathered all four pieces of the set, it would be worth at least 150 gold coins.

In the end, the 14 sets of Skeleton equipment were only exchanged for 140 gold coins. If the androids were to find out about this, they would definitely be scolded.

Ping Qiuyuan still spent all his money to buy a bunch of low-level healing potions, but this time, the smarter thing was that he bought a few scrolls this time.

After buying everything, Ping Qiuyuan discovered that he had picked up a few unknown tools before coming back.

There were six unknown items: a skill book, a magic book, two weapon enhancement scrolls, a skeleton equipment refinement scroll, and a dark book filled with magic.

The scroll and refinement were one thing, but he didn't expect the other three books to be unappraised. The officials were also black-hearted. It was obvious that the items that were displayed in other games needed to be appraised by players!

Ping Qiuyuan bought another six Identification Scrolls with the remaining money. He had originally wanted to buy the ice-type Demon Cold Cake, but now he had no money left.

The six Identification Scrolls he had just obtained were immediately used. Both of them were ordinary weapon strengthening scrolls. The remaining four items immediately appeared.

It was obvious that other than the three consecutive slashes and the skeleton skill, the other two items were useless.

He looked at the three combo attacks skill book. This was the first time Ping Qiuyuan had obtained a skill book. Although it was something he wanted to see a swordsman, it was still a very cheap skill book.

'Ding! '

System Notification: Do you wish to learn the skill, Triple Slash?

Ping Qiuyuan pressed the confirmation button, and the pattern of the Three Consecutive Strikes immediately appeared in the Skill Pane.

As for the [Battle Qi Book] for [Bone Pain Strike], Ping Qiuyuan threw it into his Item Bar without even looking at it. He simply could not use it.

After putting on the refinement, Ping Qiuyuan checked his information once again.

It would have been better if he did not look at it. At first glance, he felt that his ability did not change at all. How long would it take for him to defeat the six bosses?

The supply potions and scrolls had already been prepared. The Plain Autumn Plain slowly walked out from the Provisions Shop. His eyes were also looking outside the village.

Where are we going next? His words were filled with confusion.

Almost all of them had been brought over by someone they knew, and the training areas were all trained by others. So where should he go now?

Humans could log off and log out of the game, but he could not log out of the game. He could only stay in the game forever, forever and ever.

After thinking about it, he decided to continue leveling in the Skeleton Battleground. There was no better place to go at the moment.

'Ding! '

System Notification: My good friend Yongye Qiumei wants to send you a private message. Do you agree?

At the same time, he pressed confirm.

"Good morning, Qiuyuan! Are you free? The sweet voice of Qiumei was still unforgettable.

"Morning.

"You're still so cold when you hear the voice of a beauty so early in the morning. To think that I would immediately look for you the moment I got online! Qiumei complained.

'I don't know what to say about that.' Ping Qiuyuan really felt that it was very difficult for him to deal with Qiumei's attitude.

'Seriously.' Qiuyuan, can you do me a favor?

What is it?

'Mmm, that's the right attitude.' When a beauty had a request, she had to quickly agree. Only then can she win the beauty's heart. But my words are not enough! Qiumei deliberately smiled at Ping Qiuyuan.

'I don't know about that.' Ping Qiuyuan didn't understand what she was saying at all.

'I'll share a secret mission with more than one person with you first. I'll tell you what to do after you join me.' Qiumei didn't intend to help him make the decision after listening to his reply.

'Ding!'

System Notification: Your good friend Yongye Qiumei wants to share the hidden quest [Shadow of the Death Knight] with you. Do you agree?

After being forced by Qiumei to do so again, Pingqiu pressed confirm and the quest information immediately appeared in front of him.

System Notification: Obtained the hidden quest that Yongye Qiumei is carrying out: [Shadow of the Death Knight]!

Quest Description: Please find a black shadow that has obtained half of the Death Knight's strength in the seabed channel between the Island of Courage and the Chaotic War Continent. Kill it. After obtaining the 'Shadow of the Death Knight's Proof', return to the imperial city of Farst City and hand it over to the Grand Marshal. This mission was a multi-player mission, with four people travelling together at the most.

The way the Shadow of the Death Knight appeared was through the companions of the same mission entering from both sides of the entrance of the Island of Courage and the Chaotic War Continent. When the two sides reached the entrance of the underwater magic array, the Shadow of the Death Knight would immediately appear.

Note: Please pay special attention. Once you enter the cave, if you leave or teleport, you will immediately be deemed to have failed the mission.

'Separate from both sides and go at the same time? ' This was the first time that Ping Qiuyuan had seen a hidden mission.

'That's right, but... Because my sister and I only have two people to carry out the mission. In the end, I'm fine here, but my sister is stuck in the cave of the Island of Courage.

Then why are you looking for me? What Ping Qiuyuan said was right. If you were to choose to help, you should first look for a high-level ally in their alliance.

'About that, don't worry about it so much. ' If the beauty needs your help, you should hurry up and help. If you ask me so much, your impression of me will be deducted! Qiumei didn't seem to want to answer and only replied perfunctorily.

'What should I do then?' Ping Qiuyuan didn't ask any more questions.

'First, I'll have to trouble you to buy more healing potions, and most importantly, mana recovery potions. Then, go to the second floor of the Courage Cave and look for my sister.'

'Low-level healing potions, is that alright?'

Ping Qiuyuan would only buy low-level healing potions. Fortunately, he had also bought a lot of mana recovery potions when fighting skeletons. Although it was very expensive to buy in shops and cost a hundred gold coins, the shops only sold it for three gold coins.

'It's good as long as I have mana recovery potions. Healing potions are secondary. '

'If I'm ready, can you tell me how to get to the Courage Cave?' Ping Qiuyuan was very worried that he would get lost again.

'Don't worry, you just accepted the shared quest, which is the same as forming a team.' I'll ask my sister to use her skill on her teammates to pull you to the entrance of the cave, but...

'However? 'Ping Qiuyuan had a very bad feeling. It was the same feeling he had when he had been used as bait!

In short, I'll try my best to run into the hole later. I'll continue walking down. See you later!'

After saying that, Qiumei immediately left the private channel.

Looking at the empty channel, Ping Qiuyuan had no choice but to turn it off. However, he kept thinking about what Qiu Mei had just said. Was it really very strange?

'Ding! '

System Notification: Did your teammate, Yongye Dongxue, agree to use 'Companion Teleportation' on you?

'Yongye Dongxue.' Seeing this name immediately made Pingqiu Yuan think that she was Qiumei's older sister. They really looked alike.

Pressing down to confirm, Pingqiu Yuan immediately transformed into a transmission white light and flew towards the east.

In front of the Courage Cave, two armies were engaged in a great battle. On one side was the Blazing Sun Alliance with a red sun on their shoulders, and on the other side was the Empire of Eternal Night with a silver crescent moon.

The members of the Blazing Sun Alliance were gathering at the entrance of the Courage Cave, while the Eternal Night Dynasty continued to lead the attack. There were at least 400 players on both sides.

Kill those who see the Eternal Night Dynasty. You must not let them go in and complete the hidden mission!

The arrogant man leading the Burning Sun Alliance was none other than Dragon King. Red Lotus, his follower, was also standing beside him, looking like a stinky fart who was exploiting the tiger's might.

"That's right! We have to beat up the retarded Yongye until he arrives!

The number of players in the two legions was not much different. The average level of each player was not as high as the other. However, compared to the Eternal Night Dynasty, which had just gathered their troops, the Burning Sun Alliance, which had prepared their Priests, Archers, and meat shields, seemed to have the upper hand.

Every time the Eternal Night Dynasty gathered their forces to make a breakthrough, the hundreds of arrows from the Burning Sun Alliance would immediately land along with the magic fireballs mixed within.

Even though it was not easy for them to break through the encirclement and get close to the Warriors who were meat shields, there was no longer any HP left. They still had to deal with the Warriors who were constantly replenishing their HP with Priests behind them.

In terms of defense tactics, Dragon King's move had already reached the stage where it could be called the Invincible Shield.

When the players of the Blazing Sun Alliance saw the players of the Eternal Night Dynasty, they simply described it as a siege. Magic skills kept bursting out, and the troops of the Eternal Night Dynasty also kept retreating to the forest.

"F * ck! Which f * cking XX egg is the traitor?!

The leader of the Empire of Darkness' side was a middle-aged man with a bulky build, a Knight of Light named 'General Manager of the Empire of Darkness'.

'Manager! ' The surprise attack force we sent out was sent back, and there's no way to attack them for now. A Cleric player on the side reported.

"This is going to be troublesome. If we can't protect Miss Dong Xue safely, we'll all be in big trouble! Manager Yongye said in frustration.

The entire matter had to be traced back to an hour ago. At that time, when Qiumei and Dong Xue accepted a special mission to search for the Death Knight, they triggered a hidden mission. However, those who received the mission behind them could not trigger another hidden mission. Unless the player in front of them failed the mission, there was no way for the player in the back to trigger it.

Standing behind Qiu Mei and Dong Xue, Dragon King and Flower Butterfly accepted the quest. Although Flower Butterfly, as the Alliance Leader, said that he was a step too late and did not trigger it, However, Dragon King did not have such a measure. After obtaining the mission targets and locations of Qiumei and Dong Xue from the spies of the Eternal Night Dynasty, He immediately gathered many subordinates in the name of the Alliance Master.

Furthermore, Dragon King was quite good at using tricks. He gave up the cave that the troublesome melee expert Qiumei had chosen and focused all of his troops on Dong Xue, who was a Mage. He sent the subordinates of the Thief series to attack Dong Xue, while focusing most of his troops on the defense of the cave.

After entering the cave, Qiu Mei immediately called for her troops to break out of Dong Xue's predicament. However, Dragon King, who had already planned everything beforehand, did not let a single drop of water fall from the cave's defense. To the Dong Xue inside, she also wanted to make him isolated and helpless so that he could return to the village or be killed by the monsters.

The battle continued from that time until now. No matter how he attacked, The Empire of Darkness could not even open up a gap.

When Dragon King saw his troops defending the caves and forcing the people of the Eternal Night Dynasty to retreat, he could not help but laugh arrogantly.

"Hahahahaha! "The Empire of Darkness is only so-so. As expected, only those two b * tches are more capable. The rest are trash!

Looking at the arrogant Dragon King in the cave, the manager of the Empire of Darkness could only clench his teeth in anger. There was nothing he could do.

At this time, Qiumei's voice appeared in the group channel.

"Manager, do you see sister? Qiumei asked.

"I'm sorry, we can't even break through the entrance of the cave right now, the other side prepared it too carefully. The manager of Eternal Night could only lower his head and apologize.

"Mm, Manager, I didn't mean to say that. It's just that the current situation isn't much different from what I thought. There seemed to be some sort of plan hidden within Qiumei's words.

'Miss Qiu Mei, actually, I plan to gather all my military forces and launch a total attack. At the very least, I want to perish together with them, so that they won't attack Miss Dong Xue!' Manager Yongye voiced his thoughts.

"Manager, do as you say. Qiumei only replied. Actually, she already had a plan in her heart, but she definitely couldn't say it when there might be a spy who saw it.

Qiumei deliberately opened the private message with Manager Yongye and gave him a few instructions.

"Then I'll give the order immediately!

After Manager Yongye replied. He turned around and immediately called for the entire troop. With a majestic roar that could never be heard by a middle-aged man, he shouted:

"The Empire of Eternal Night! "Now that the Vice Alliance Master, Miss Yongye Dongxue, is inside, it concerns our reputation. We must protect her. All of you, charge at me!

"Oh!" The people of the Empire of Darkness roared with strong fighting spirit at the same time!

Following their roars, the Yongye manager led the scattered troops to charge toward the Burning Sun Alliance in the Courage Cave!

Looking at the people of the Empire of Darkness coming at him menacingly, Dragon King was not afraid. Instead, he shouted excitedly:

"Today, we will let the trash of the Eternal Night know how powerful our Burning Sun Alliance is. Archers, shoot with all your might!

Under the powerful command of Dragon King, countless arrows flew into the sky. The warriors and knights in the front row also raised their shields and weapons.

'Knights, activate the magic of the Sacred World! ' In the midst of the galloping, the manager of Eternal Night ordered the lives of the people behind him.

[A Sacred Barrier has been formed around him. He can recover his HP at a high speed. At the same time, he can also inflict huge damage to dark type targets. It lasts for five minutes, MP-500.]

Every Knight of the Empire of Darkness had a circular kekkai surrounding them.

The rain of arrows also fell at this moment. The number of arrows that the Knights could not dodge was almost all hit. All of the Knights' HP quickly dropped. However, because of the Eternal Night Manager's warning, the Holy kekkai was almost not turned into white light.

Relying only on the effect of the health recovery skill and healing potion, Eternal Night's manager forcefully led most of the Knights to the front and clashed with the front row of the Burning Sun Alliance's meat shield warriors!

Even though Eternal Night's health bar was running low, he continued to lead the front row and charge at the front row of the Burning Sun Alliance. The front row of the Burning Sun Alliance's troops were also instantly defeated.

However, the price of defeating the enemy's front line troops also turned many of the players from Eternal Night Dynasty into white light. After all, the enemy's attacks were too strict. Those who were too low level or did not have enough HP were killed before they could recover their HP.

Seeing that the front row had been broken through and the interior had been thrown into chaos, Dragon King, who was standing on top of the cave, also cursed.

"You are all idiots! "They came here looking for their own death, but you guys still couldn't defend it. Hurry up and focus on the leader!

Under Dragon King's command again, the target of all the Burning Sun Alliance's attacks had turned to Manager Yongye, who was about to rush to the entrance of the cave.

Unfortunately, the command was a few seconds away. In these few seconds, the Eternal Night manager was only one priest away from the Courage Cave.

The Priest had no time to react. The Eternal Night manager, who had less than a tenth of his HP remaining, stabbed the long spear in his hand into the Priest's long white robe.

'Morning Star Strike! ' The Eternal Night manager roared. He pressed the battle energy button with his left hand! (Special skill for Knights of Light. When used against a single target, the magic power will be transformed into a powerful light element attack that breaks into the opponent's body. If the opponent dies, the Morning Star explosion will be added, and the target player will turn into a shock wave and deal damage to the surrounding enemies.)

An intense light appeared on the spear, and the Priest who was pierced didn't even have the time to scream before turning into a white light in an instant.

The light didn't dissipate even after defeating the priest. Suddenly, a powerful shockwave spread out in all directions.

The players who were hit by the shockwave had their HP bars constantly flashing. The ones with less HP were instantly killed and turned into white light. The name on Eternal Night's manager's head also turned dark red.

"Miss! This was a private message that Eternal Night gave a second before he transformed into white light.

Sharp blades came from all directions at the same time. The Eternal Night Manager's HP immediately turned blank.

Just as he was about to complete the quest and turn into White Light, another White Light appeared in front of him. It was the Transmission White Light that came from somewhere else.

The moment the light disappeared, a man's back with a ponytail on his head appeared. It was the back of a person who had tried to forget several years ago but could not.

"Young Master! Manager Yongye's loud roar followed the white light that had turned into white light after he had dropped all his equipment and flew back to the spawn point.

As the leader of the Eternal Night manager was taken care of, the other members who had been charging stopped in their tracks and returned to their original positions one after another.

Dragon King was also nervous because he had almost broken through the defense line. However, under the reckless charge of the Eternal Night manager, there were less than 100 people left in the Eternal Night Dynasty. Even if they were reborn, it would take more than ten minutes for them to return.

Looking at Dragon King, who had a huge advantage, looking at the battlefield proudly, he thought:

That brainless idiot just now killed a bunch of people by himself. He even dropped all his best equipment to us. He probably won't bother us anymore, right? Next, we'll have to wait for the good news from those assassins. As long as we find them, we should be able to finish them off in less than five minutes.

At this moment, he thought of what had happened in the blink of an eye.

There seemed to be a white light that was sent over just now. I had set it earlier, but the Eternal Night Dynasty reacted as soon as it approached, but there was no prompt sound at that time. Did I overthink it?

Mia opened the door to the CEO's office and slowly and carefully walked in.

This time, he definitely won't steal it again! Mia tightly grabbed the lemon juice from a famous beverage store bought at the center of the store.

When she walked to the president's desk, a figure appeared!

Mia turned around alertly, but there was no one.

Am I overthinking it?

Just as she said that, she also noticed that the lemon juice in her hand had disappeared!

Aiyaya! It's really uncomfortable to drink such a sour thing so early in the morning.

When the voice turned around, Mr. Ping was already drinking his lemon juice from his seat as the president.

'Damn it! ' I especially don't add any sugar in the lemon juice. '

This was the lemon juice that Mia had bought yesterday after she had washed her body weight. She had no choice but to buy it today.
