Chapter 35: The Hunting Squad is in Action (1)
Since Xinghai's words were rather vague, Xiwei went back to his office to look through the detailed monster manual and carefully understood the information about the Kuo Tao fishmen.
By the way, he also searched for records about the artifacts of the Night Goddess and the Goddess of Life.
The Goddess of Life's artifact is the Code of Life, which has been completely lost and has not reappeared on the mainland.
In other words, the gems on the scepter of life can be used by Loli. As for the goddess of the night...
Her artifact is quite special, it is a skirt that she wears, called the dress of the dark night.
This dress is currently being collected by a king in the Southern Continent and is often worn by his queen.
There is no problem with the cat's eye stone, it can be used by You Ye.
The kuo-toa is a creature with a fish head and a human body. It is short in stature, has atrophied limbs, and has webbed fingers. It can be understood as a fish head placed on the neck of a goblin.
Their base camp is in the dark area near the Eye of the Abyss, but they may also appear in seas and rivers. A body of water as big as Winter Lake can completely support a group of Kuo-Tao murlocs.
However, they are not as chaotic as Goblins. They belong to the evil and lawful camp, and their strength is also very average. They are at most level one and cannot defeat an adult with weapons in a duel. They are really good candidates for miners.
With a decision in his mind, Xiwei immediately issued a task to the idle and panicked players.
He won't bother to search around Cold Winter Lake. If he has this time, he might as well pay more attention to the construction of the intelligence network.
…
[Ding! The temporary task has been triggered]
[Task name: Looking for Kuo Tao fish people (picture)]
[Task description: His Majesty the Winter King found the mithril mine, but how to mine it underwater became an important problem. After some thinking, he decided to enslave a group of Kuo Tao fish people to work for him]
[Mission Objective: Carefully search the waters of Cold Winter Lake]
[Tip: Kuo Tao fish people like to live in places with a lot of aquatic plants, and feed on shrimps and crabs]
[Task reward: The first player to find the Kuo Tao fishman will be marked by the system and receive the highest reward: a master-level equipment. Other players will receive ten equipment lottery tickets and 5,000 experience points]
…
"Oh, here comes another mission. Although there is no main line, the Winter King is so productive."
Yuci heard a crisp "ding" sound and immediately opened the taskbar. Sure enough, a brand new temporary task appeared in front of him.
"Brother, you are awesome! The first one to find the Kuo-Tao fishman will be given master-level equipment, and even if you are not the first one, you will also get a lottery ticket!"
The little master of troublemaking and the rest of the team were leisurely for a moment. After hearing this, Qing Xiyue and other players also opened the taskbar to check. They were in the same team, and the team name was [Hunting Ancestor and Hunting Sect].
To say that their team is relatively famous, there are only five core members, and there is one player whose ID is Ashes who is not online.
They are the first player team to clear the Black Sword and Sister dungeons for the first time, and their reputation among players is very high, on par with the team called me Alin.
In fact, it was mainly because Xiwei felt that the players were not very good, so he quietly lowered the difficulty of the dungeon. Otherwise, there would be very few players who had passed the Clement Trial, let alone the Sisters of the Black Sword.
The main function of the dungeon is to improve the player's strength. If it is too difficult, it is not necessary. If it is too simple, it will not be enough for training. It is most suitable now that most of the players have passed Clement's Trial.
The average person in the hunting sect team now has at least 3 pieces of sophisticated equipment, and even two pieces of master-level equipment.
To be honest, ever since I had a leisurely experience with master-level equipment, I no longer care about sophisticated equipment.
Let's put it this way, a master-level long sword can easily cut through a sophisticated long sword. Of course, the premise is that your angle and force posture must be correct.
Therefore, the task at hand is still very attractive to him.
"What did Ashes say? It's not online yet? Send him a message and ask when it will be online. If it's too late, the four of us will do it first."
As the captain of [Hunting Ancestor and Hunting Sect], he leisurely asked Ashes’ friends and was a master of troublemaking.
"I posted it... You may not believe it when I say it... Brother Ash has gone crazy since he learned that catching a national spy can reward him with 100,000 yuan. In order to get the master certification for his favorite author "Sleeping Penguin", he asked Penguin to add more updates.
Don’t look for spies everywhere…”
The troublemaker covered his face and said bitterly:
"This is nothing. The key is that he has been hanging up his roommate and beating him for three days, and his roommate still hasn't let go, so he is not online."
Yuci: "..."
A moment of leisure: "..."
Qing Xiyue pushed up her glasses, touched her smooth chin, her wise eyes flashed, and she speculated:
"Did Brother Ashes ask his roommate any questions? If he didn't ask, then his roommate might still not let go after ten or eight days of fighting..."
"Outrageous..."
"I think this shows that his roommate has received strict training and is probably a spy."
Just as the four people were discussing, Ashes' portrait finally lit up, and soon a Crusader player wearing 6-Glimmer equipment walked up to the four of them.
id:ashes
"Brothers, you've been waiting for a long time. Damn it. After three days of fighting, that piece of shit didn't do anything. I was so angry. Forget it, I thought it was more important to play the game. When I saw the news about the trouble, I immediately went online."
"How did you ask?"
Facing everyone's questions, Hui Jin spread his hands and said:
"How else can I ask? Just ask him if he wants to tell or not. If he doesn't tell, I'll beat him up. Hehehehe..."
…
After some joking, everyone followed the mission prompts and came to the vicinity of Winter Lake.
They found that there were already many players around. They all had anxious faces, but also looked forward to and excited. They looked here and there, and many of them ignored the task prompts.
"I think searching around Winter Lake is a stupid idea."
For a moment, the players who were leisurely watching the traffic by the lake shook their heads.
It was okay when there were only 500 people in the past, but now the number of players has reached more than 5,000. With more monks and less meat, tasks like this have become increasingly difficult to complete.
"Then what should we do? We can't let other players come to us and just watch."
"Don't worry,"
He smiled leisurely for a moment, with a hint of cunning flashing in his eyes, and asked everyone to get closer, and then whispered:
"Don't use the thinking from other games to this game."
"Kain Continent is a completely open world. Every NPC has its own thoughts and stories, and they are like living people."
"So instead of searching aimlessly here, we might as well go to nearby villages and ask the fishermen. Maybe we will get unexpected results."
After a moment of leisurely planning, the troublemaker and others suddenly realized that their thinking was indeed a bit rigid, and they were still in the rigid stage of completing tasks according to the task prompts.
With this thought in mind, they quickly came to the vicinity of the radium gold mine that was under construction, where they found Clement, who was supervising the construction, and asked where there were villages nearby, but did not reveal their thoughts.
These NPCs are too smart, and if their plans are made public, they may not get anything out of them in the end.
"A village?"
Clemont lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then took out a map from the inner layer of the breastplate and looked at it twice, then pointed to the southeast direction of Winter Lake and said to the players:
Chapter completed!
