The task npc is undoubtedly in the village. Time is limited, so Xiao Hua immediately walked in from the village gate.
The situation in the village is not very good. There are mud and sand houses and wooden houses scattered in the villages. Some mud and sand houses seem to have not lived in for a long time. The doors are closed, and some houses simply collapse on the ground. The wooden houses look a little pale and powerless under the long-term strong sunlight, and look precarious.
More than a dozen villagers in tattered clothes and pale faces were walking around the village. When they noticed Xiao Hua, an outsider, many villagers looked at Xiao Hua from afar, with a faint strange light flashing in their eyes, and then quickly dimmed. They also moved their eyes away and stopped looking at Xiao Hua, as if they had not seen Xiao Hua.
When Xiao Hua saw this, he felt strange and wanted to approach the two villagers to ask what was going on. As a result, when the villagers saw Xiao Hua coming, they either turned around and left, or pretended to be deaf and dumb, allowing Xiao Hua to ask, but never spoke up.
The whole village was as lifeless and lifeless as I saw it outside. If there weren't a few children playing in the distance, Xiao Hua would have felt that he had entered the ghost village.
When Xiao Hua looked at the three children in the distance, the children also looked at him curiously, which was obviously different from the adults' performance. Xiao Hua thought and walked towards the children. The children had no intention of avoiding Xiao Hua at all. When they saw Xiao Hua walking over, they stayed in place waiting for him to come.
Of course, children don’t have much chance to issue tasks, but at least they can ask for some information. Judging from the current situation, these children are also a breakthrough.
"Dear little brothers and little sisters," Xiao Hua squatted down, showing a harmless smile on his face, and reached out to touch him, but he felt that it was impossible to find a few lollipops from his body, so he could only give up. "I'm here to help your village solve the problem. Who in your village is responsible for this matter?"
"I know, look for the village chief!" a small mm replied immediately.
"Who is the village chief? Where is he? Can you take me there?" Xiao Hua immediately continued to ask kindly. He also wanted to find the village chief, but the buildings in this village looked exactly the same. The villagers didn't miss him, and he didn't see anyone who looked like the village chief.
"Of course!" I wondered if it was the reason for the charm, Xiao mm and the other children agreed to Xiao Hua's request well. A strange gaze flashed from time to time in his flexible eyes, which made Xiao Hua a little confused. However, as long as he could find the village chief and start the task quickly, Xiao Hua would not spend his time on these children, so he would explore more.
Under the leadership of the children, Xiao Hua came to the wooden house located behind the village. The wooden house was nothing special. If Xiao Hua looked for it himself, it would have to take at least ten minutes to find it. Now time is experience, and fortunately he found these children to lead the way.
Xiao mm stepped forward and knocked on the door. After a while, the wooden door opened with a creaking sound. An old man with a pale face and a thin skinny face appeared in front of Xiao Hua with his waist on his back and a crutch.
The old man rolled his dry eyes, looked at Xiao Hua, and then said to the children: "It's nothing for you, you can go and have fun first."
The children scattered in a rainbow, and Xiao Hua followed the old man into the wooden house.
The decorations in the wooden house are very simple. Apart from some essential daily necessities, there are almost no unnecessary things. It is hard to imagine that the old man named Weijill is actually a village chief.
"I understand your purpose. Our deserted village is also facing the dilemma of destruction. If you can help us solve the problem and get out of it, even if we spend everything in the village, we will not hesitate at all! And I am not afraid to tell the truth. The problems we encounter are very big. If we are not careful, there will be a possibility of death. Otherwise, there will be so many people in our village, and there will be no more than the current population. We don't have to wait for adventurers like you to solve the problem! In this dangerous situation, do you still want to help us?" Weijill said slowly, his tone full of helplessness. Finally, when he asked Xiao Hua for confirmation, he was faintly expectant.
"Of course, please leave it to me to solve any problems if you have any questions!" Xiao Hua answered immediately. Time is tight now, and he doesn't want to talk to NPC at all, but NPC is not a player. If you don't say something, you will definitely not be able to receive the task.
"Very good!" Village Chief Weijill nodded in admiration, "Did you see the white ants at the corner of the wall?"
Weigil asked, pointing to a row of white ants appearing at the corner of the house.
"See. These seem to be very ordinary ants. Is there anything wrong with these ants?" The ants don't look special, and it's not strange that termites appear in the wooden house.
"You walked in from outside the village and saw that there were many wooden houses in our village. Under the strong sunlight, the wooden houses were already very fragile. Once they were eroded by these termites, it would take less than a year or two to be repaired in time! The wood in the village was transported back from a long distance, and each one was very precious, and one less was used! Although we often used these termites to eliminate these termites, because there was a huge termite nest in the distance to the west of the village, if the twenty termite leaders and queens in the nest were wiped out, these termites would never be eliminated!" Weigil explained, and the task became clear at once.
"Captain Weijier, do you want me to destroy that termite nest?" Xiao Hua immediately understood.
"Yes, do you accept this commission?"
"certainly!"
"Okay. Over the years, during the fight against termites, we have also obtained some information about termite nests. If you leave the entrance of the village and walk west for about half an hour, you can see a tall sand shale. Under the sand shale is a huge cave, and the termite nest is in the cave. Those termite leaders are very powerful. Many villagers who go to eliminate termites die at the hands of termite leaders. We can't even get close to the queen!" Weijier talked about the death of the villagers, and his tone suddenly hurt.
"If you have enough strength, you can kill these termite leaders and queens directly. If it is not enough, you can bypass the sand shale and go straight forward to another cave under the sand shale further away, where an alchemist lives. His location is a bit difficult to find, and it may take you some time.
This alchemist is a very strange person. He wandered into the village for some reason a year ago. He was almost dead when he was hungry and thirsty. Later, he was rescued by me. In order to repay my kindness, he promised to help me refine a potion that can control ants, but there is only one chance!
Because we are really not sure about dealing with the ant, we have never dared to use this only opportunity. You can ask him for it. As long as I asked you to go, he will give you the medicine. But you must be careful. This person has a weird temper and makes him unhappy. Maybe he may be in a rebellious way!" Village Chief Weijier added.
System prompt: You have accepted the task of "Destroy Termite Nests"!
"Thank you, Village Chief Weigil, I'll go to the nest right away!"
The Vigil mission has been issued, and it seems that there is no intention to continue to say it. The mission information has been explained, and it will be his business next.
After coming out of the village chief’s house and walking outside the village, Xiao Hua saw the villagers still shining and shrinking. It seemed that he would not complete this task first, so he would not take on the second task.
After leaving the village, Xiao Hua immediately called out the rogue and climbed onto the rogue. The rogue ran to the west, and pulled up a long ramen of yellow sand and dust behind the rogue.
"The termite leader looks very powerful, and the situation of the queen is not clear. It not only takes a lot of time to find an alchemist, but also has certain risks. If it takes a lot of time to find that guy, even if there is a potion, the task will fail." According to the words of the village chief Weijier, Xiao Hua thought in his mind.
"It's better to go to the termite nest to see the situation first. Anyway, it's only a few minutes. I'm lucky and found the trick. Maybe I don't need to find an alchemist, which can save a lot of time!" Xiao Hua quickly made a decision. Two hours were not much, and it can be said that it passed in the blink of an eye. Of course, it's just a waste of money. This is a naked experience!
After half an hour of running the rogues with all their strength from the village chief, Xiao Hua only took less than twenty minutes to see from a distance that a huge white sand shale was bulging above a piece of yellow sand. The sand shale was very conspicuous. Under the burning sunlight, it even reflected dazzling white light. However, under the long-term wind and sun, the surface of the sand shale was weathered very severely, and many places had turned into white sand and slid from above to the sand surface.
Xiao Hua soon found a two- or three-meter-high entrance at the foot of the huge sand shale, and walked along the entrance. He began to feel a little dark in front of him, but after a while and after getting used to it, Xiao Hua gradually saw the things in the cave clearly.
There was not as many termites as Xiao Hua imagined on the ground. It seemed that the termites that appeared in the village did not come out of the hole, but had another special way.
The more he walked in, the light in the cave gradually became brighter. Two or three minutes later, Xiao Hua walked to the center of the cave.
Chapter completed!
