"Thank you for your help, my name is Aika." The little girl walked up with her big sword and said politely to the three of them.

"Is there something on you that can increase dark energy?" Aika's tiny nose shrank and suddenly said in surprise.

Well, there is a chance! The dark energy enhancement potion comes in handy!

"Give her the enhancement potion, show it." Xiao Hua privately chatted to Zhou Xiaorou.

"Miss Aika, are you talking about this thing?" Zhou Xiaorou took out the dark energy enhancement potion and handed it over.

"It's great. I smelled it. Unfortunately, it was hidden too closely and the smell was too light. I searched for a long time but couldn't find it. Then I surrounded those difficult ghost monsters. If you didn't appear, I would be in danger." Aika took the dark energy enhancement potion and said happily, then carefully hid the potion on his body.

But Aika continued to shrink her nose, and then said embarrassedly: "Did you collect the black fruits on the way? I don't know how to collect them. Can you give me some?"

Zhou Xiaorou looked at Xiao Hua, saw Xiao Hua nodding, and took out another handful of black mutant fruit.

"I'm about to go to the monastery on the mountain. I may encounter many monsters along the way. If you can help, I think I will definitely arrive at the monastery smoothly!" After Ika MM happily collected ten black mutant fruits, she showed the eyes that only a little girl could have, and begged the three of them and said.

System prompt: Do you accept the task "escort Ika"?

Escort Aika: Send Aika safely to the monastery. Mission difficulty: unknown!

Finally a mission appeared, Xiao Hua couldn't help but feel very moved. This copy, which was mainly plot-based, was really ridiculous!

The three of them took the task without hesitation, and then they were stunned.

System prompt: Aika joins the team!

Npc joined the team? The three of them were confused about this unprecedented thing.

"I don't know if there is any benefit." Xiao Hua said in the guild channel. Seeing Aika joining the team, Xiao Hua thought of the first thing he thought of was to get benefits from NPC.

"It's very difficult." Piao Ling said bluntly.

"Why?" Xiao Hua was surprised.

"Look at the team information." Zhou Xiaorou reminded in a low voice.

For the same team, you can see the names, levels and professions of the other members from the team information. Xiao Hua glanced at the team information and immediately understood.

Ika, level 22, Dark Great Swordsman.

At level 22, I don’t seem to be able to do anything. As for Dark Swordsman, he is a profession that he has never seen before. I’m afraid only NPC can be found.

After Aika joined the team, he said happily: "Thank you, I knew you would definitely help! Let's set off quickly, there may be no more time."

The three of them stopped talking and escorted Aika MM on the road, but not long after walking, a suspicious wooden house appeared far away from the roadside in front of the road. The wooden house was about ten square meters in size, with wooden locks in front of the door, but around, especially in front of the door, there were more than a dozen black skeleton monsters patrolling!

There are important plot items in the cabin!

The moment she saw the wooden house, this idea came to Xiao Hua's mind, and Piao Ling and Zhou Xiaorou both felt this way.

"Miss Aika, can you get rid of those skeletons?" Although I don't know the attributes of those skeletons, Xiao Hua knew that they had no hope of killing those black skeletons just by relying on them.

"No! Never touch them! They are abyss skeletons. After discovering the enemy, they will swarm up to you without any chance. Now I can only deal with two at most. If they find our traces, we will definitely not be able to escape and die!" Aika MM shook her head and said firmly.

Why does this Eika look so fragile? With her, can she really make the possible copy of the big boss on the monastery in the end?

Xiao Hua thought worriedly. With the illusion, he naturally had a way to unlock the lock and get things into the cabin, but he wanted to see how powerful the Aika NPC was. For NPC, level does not represent everything, just like Andrews, although he is only level 30, is invincible, but now she said that she can only deal with two little monsters, and she is not very strong no matter how she looks at it.

"Wait, I'll go to the wooden house to take a look." After stopping the three of them, Xiao Hua summoned a fake figure and sneaked over.

The illusion quickly moved to the wooden house, and with the moonlight, we could clearly see the faces of these abyss skeletons. When we looked closer, Xiao Hua felt that these skeletons were really hard to deal with. The bones on their bodies were as black and shiny as metal, smooth and full, and extremely strong, and seemed to have infinite power. The death scythe they clutched with both hands emitted a cold and cold light!

There were dark green lights floating in the eyes of these abyss skeletons, and the green light floated unsteadily with the movement of the skeletons, like a mass of ghost fire. Xiao Hua carefully avoided the skeletons' patrol route. The master-level stealth ensured that the skeletons were not discovered by the skeletons, and the skeletons quickly sneaked to the front of the wooden door.

unlock!

Lock unlock failed!

Using skills towards the door lock, with his entry-level lock-opening skills, Xiao Hua looked at the system's failure prompt without any surprise. After the lock-opening failed, the false image revealed its figure in front of the door. The surrounding skeleton suddenly twisted his head and rushed towards the false image! The abyss skeleton who rushed to the front of the false image first raised the death scythe and slashed down!

—3000!

It's fake to be killed instantly on the spot!

More than 3,000 attacks are so powerful! Head-on conflicts, teams over twenty have no chance of winning at all! If it is another team, how can they enter the wooden house?

This thought flashed through Xiao Hua's mind, but he quickly threw it aside. Now it was the main thing to open the door and enter the house. When the skill cooled down, Xiao Hua summoned another false image and sneaked over. As a result, Xiao Hua was depressed to find that the lock unlock failed again. After the skill cooled down, he summoned another false image and over, but it still failed.

"Damn!" Xiao Hua couldn't help but curse. He had been so comfortable during this period. He hadn't practiced his skills much, and his output was pitifully low. After entering the trial copy and not being able to use magic bombs, this weakness became even more prominent. After passing the copy this time, he had to instinctively increase the output of the free skill book. Anyway, he was not short of money!

Taking a deep breath and adjusting his mentality, Xiao Hua summoned another false image and sneaked over. He moved carefully to the wooden door again, and Xiao Hua nervously used his skills towards the lock.

Click! The lock was successfully unlocked! The door was opened with a gap that could pass through one person!

After using the skills, the false image will naturally be destroyed again. If you want to know what is inside, you have to call the false image in and take a look. Although Xiao Hua can also go there by himself, Xiao Hua feels that it is better to be careful about an unknown wooden house that may be full of dangers.

"The door is open, you can wait a little longer." Although Piaoling and Zhou Xiaorou were waiting quietly, Xiao Hua still sent a message on the team chat channel.

Soon, a new illusion sneaked to the door under Xiao Hua's control, and his body shrank, and the illusion safely entered the wooden house. The illusion was pitch black, and he could only see a table vaguely. Xiao Hua touched it and barely saw the candles and matches on the table, so he lit the candle. If he was discovered by the abyss skeleton outside and was attacked, there was no way to find anything in this messy room without lighting the candle.

The candle was lit, and the environment in the room was suddenly clearly visible. What caught my eye was a bunch of messy glass test tubes, which were extremely similar to the real chemical laboratory!

The room of the alchemist? Xiao Hua had a background in his mind as soon as he saw it. The alchemist is a very biased life profession in the game, similar to the real chemical experimenter. It mainly studies the combination of science and magic. People who do not have special research generally cannot learn it. Because the alchemist's door bar is too high and it is difficult to achieve something, few players in the game will practice this profession. However, the alchemist is also a very profitable profession. The magic bombs sold in the treasure pot are made by the alchemist, and the advanced alchemist can enchant jewelry, giving the jewelry some special status reduction attributes.

The alchemist in the room was obviously in a hurry, and some of the main props were taken away, but many props that they would not be able to take away for a while were left. Xiao Huajie's Philosopher searched for it for a while, but he did not find any items that could be used.

It shouldn't be like this, how could it be that there is nothing?

Only the books on the bookshelf on the side were not checked. Xiao Hua made the fake look like he picked up books and flipped them up, but the system did not give any prompts. He picked up another book with a thick sheepskin cover. The system still did not give any prompts this time, but Xiao Hua clearly felt that the weight of the book was a bit strange!

After opening this book "A Complete Collection of Commonly Used Medicinal Formulas", after turning a few pages, Xiao Hua suddenly found that a large piece of the book was hollowed out, and there was a closed white rectangular wooden box inside carefully hidden inside!

System prompt: You have obtained the "sealed box"!

Sealed box: This is a box that is strictly sealed. There is a mysterious potion in the box. The potion exudes a strong sacred aura. Although the box is strictly closed, when it comes into contact with the box, no one will feel the power of this sacred aura. If you open the box, you are afraid that any dark creature will panic about it!

It's it!

After reading the instructions, Xiao Hua naturally did not dare to open the box, but the sacred potion that can restrain dark creatures is definitely an important plot item!

After flipping through the remaining books once, and after not finding them again, he self-destructed the false image, Xiao Hua turned his attention back to the characters.

"Done! Keep going!"

Aika kept waiting quietly on the side, and after seeing the team start moving, she also moved.

"What did you get?" Piaoling asked in the guild channel, and Zhou Xiaorou also watched it curiously.

Xiao Hua sent the information of the box on the channel, and Piaoling said again: "Don't you give it to Aika? Maybe she can use it."

"It's better not to be the case for the time being. She asked for the dark energy enhancement potion and black fruit. Judging from her profession, I'm afraid she is also a person who uses the dark power. I don't know what will happen if I see this potion. And I think under normal circumstances, I should escort her to the monastery and trigger the next plot to get this sacred potion." Xiao Hua shook his head and said.

Piao Ling thought it was true. Ordinary people did not have the illusion of going to die. Even if they successfully unlocked the lock in one go, they would still be killed by the Abyss Skeleton. There was no possibility of getting the potion at this time.

During the conversation, the team quickly reached a fork in the road, and two paths appeared. One was moving straight forward. It was vaguely visible that the gate of the monastery was at the end of the path, but in the middle of the road, there were countless abyss skeletons patrolling back and forth; the other was around the hillside, and the path could not be seen at the end, and there was no monster on the road.
