Chapter 155: A one-year appointment(1/2)
"What's wrong with me being a ghost Taoist priest? Who stipulates that the ghost clan is not allowed to be a Taoist priest?" I finally couldn't help but shout: "Yaya was my treasure before she was alive. Even if she died now, her soul belongs to me. Why do you want to meddle in other people's business?"
"Yaya?" The mysterious man was stunned for a moment, then looked at the Dragon Soul Order in his hand with a sneer, and laughed: "Is it the little dragon in this token? This name is really ridiculous."
Damn. This NPC is really too much. It’s okay to steal my stuff, but you dare to laugh at me. I’m fighting with you!
"Boom--" A strong force spread throughout my body. The mysterious man seemed to have only glanced at me, but my body bounced up so high, and then fell heavily to the ground, unable to release the simplest water spirit talisman.
Damn! It's too perverted. Is this the legendary killing with eyes? Fortunately, I have added enough energy and was not instantly lost by him.
I took out a bottle of special white bones. I was about to stuff them into my mouth, but my eyes suddenly solidified.
Physical strength: 1.
Haha, my luck is really great, I didn't even die like this.
After eating Baigu Powder, I threw another pill of Dahuan Dan into my mouth and stood up tremblingly.
"Boom--" It was the power again, which was already attacking me before I was ready for any attack. And I knocked to the ground without any suspense, and my physical strength was only a little left.
Got the first prize? Why is it another one?
I shook my head and quickly took medicine to replenish blood...
"boom--"
The third attack made me close my eyes weakly. I just drank half of the two bottles of potions I held in my hand, but I hadn't replenished my energy yet.
Dong!
My head hit the floor with a heavy blow, and I opened my eyes, and my strength was still a little bit.
This time, I dare not believe it was my own luck anymore. The npc had no intention of killing me. It deliberately left me a little physical strength, which made me unable to die even if I wanted to.
Seeing that I was not dead for three consecutive times, a trace of surprise flashed in the mysterious man's eyes. Could it be that he didn't expect that I would not die?
If this is the case, I can beat you to death with a little blood!
He was thinking about how to deal with the disgusting npc in front of him, but unexpectedly, he suddenly stretched out his right hand and a white light flashed through the air. After the white light disappeared, something else in his hand.
Damn! Is it over?
Don’t think that you can grab things randomly if you are NPC. I will go to the boss of China to complain, and you will lose everything!
At this moment, the mysterious man was holding the ancient painting I snatched from Buleji. I saw my hands trembling, and I pulled the scroll apart several times before I pulled the scroll apart with a light click on the right hand. The sea water around the scroll naturally separated, and no moisture could touch the painting.
Ah! It turns out it is this painting!
I went to this place with great difficulty, but it was because of this painting. There was also a map in the painting. It seemed that we did not find the wrong place. This mysterious NPC was indeed related to the hidden tasks in the painting.
"Is this painting yours?" I shook my clothes and said with my chest straight: "If it were you, I will give it back to you. For the sake of my hard work, I should give it some benefits."
"Hahahaha!" The mysterious man seemed to have not heard what I was saying at all, and suddenly burst into laughter and said, "I didn't expect that I had been waiting here for so many years, but I actually waited for a ghost Taoist priest, and I was still a useless waste."
Great skills are great skills. If you talk nonsense, I can still sue you for personal attacks.
I stared at the hateful mysterious npc, and the fire in my eyes was about to burn the surrounding sea water.
After thinking about it, the tone in his words seemed to be something wrong. I should have triggered some hidden mission. It seems that it is right to put away this painting. Buleji regards the navigation chart as a treasure, but instead throws the scroll of the trigger mission. He should be hiding somewhere and hitting the wall.
The mysterious man closed the scroll, sighed a long time, and said to me: "Since you are that person, I have no choice. But with your current ability, it is impossible to complete the task I want to give you, so..."
"So how?" My eyes kept flashing with golden light, and my heart burst into laughter.
Haha, this NPC not only has to be assigned to me tasks, but also has to give me some benefits in advance. I don’t know whether this benefit is equipment, weapons, or a few bottles of advanced potions? Or even teach me a special skill?
In short, just by looking at that guy, I could drive me away. The things he took out would definitely not be street stall goods, so I'm just waiting to receive the gift.
"So..." The mysterious man looked me up and down and said slowly: "I will send you to a special place to practice until you have the strength to complete the task."
"Cultivation? How long does it take?" I have never heard of such a reward. I guess I should have sent me to a special leveling location. Maybe I still have double experience or something, but I don't know how much time I can have. Thinking of this, I asked casually.
"From your current level, it's probably almost time to practice here for a year." The mysterious man gently stroked the guqin in his arms, and the stringless guqin actually made a strange tone.
"One year? What a joke?" I jumped up and shouted.
"What? You don't want to?" The man looked at me casually, as if he couldn't see any disappointment. It seemed that he was confident that I would never give up such a great opportunity.
Opportunities are rare, but it will take a whole year? One year, I have enough practice to level 80, and I need some special locations. If I really agree, I will either be crazy or stupid.
I shook my head and pretended to be extremely regretful and said, "It's not that I don't want to help you, I just can't practice for that long time. If you agree, I want to complete the tasks I am on now and then return to you to practice! Or, you can shorten the time a little, otherwise you can do it in installments."
Now it is clear that he is asking me to do things. If I don’t talk about the price, how can that be possible?
It is best to open a leveling site for me, with no one snatching monsters and double experience. If the rate of treasure drop is a little higher than usual, it will be even more perfect.
"The door is there, if you want to leave, you can do it any time." The mysterious man raised his hand and pointed, and a colorful portal suddenly appeared on the wall. Through the light of the portal, I could even see the prosperous scene in Chang'an City. Everything was so real.
"You want me to leave?" I looked at the mysterious man in confusion and asked carefully.
If I just left like this, what should I do with the remaining tasks? Could it be that I gave up, right? Then I can't pay it.
But I have to stay here for a whole year...
After thinking about it, I couldn't help but walk two steps towards the portal.
"I forgot to tell you that without this scroll and the Dragon Soul Order, no one can get close to that door, whether it is a human or a ghost." The mysterious man said lukewarmly. He played with the Dragon Soul Order that snatched from me, which made me so angry that I was smoking from the seven orifices.
Damn! Why did I forget this! Yaya’s Dragon Soul Token is still in that guy’s hand. How could I just leave like this!
No matter what task he has or not, I will take back the Dragon Soul Order first.
As soon as I reached out, I fell heavily to the ground again, and my physical strength was only a little bit left.
Damn, can't you afford to mess with me?
In a fit of anger, I took off my helmet and got off the line, bringing my strange eyes.
"Why did you go offline so early today? Didn't you say you should be on duty at night?" Yunyun had just finished taking a shower, and her hair was so wet on her shoulders, with a unique tempting charm. Seeing that I seemed to be in a bad mood, she walked behind me considerately and gently kneaded my shoulders. The force was not light or heavy, which made me almost moan with comfort.
"I heard that your fleet will arrive at Jingtao City in a few days. The mission to the west has been completed. Why don't I go to the dock to wait for you at that time?" Yunyun turned my body around and looked at my eyes and said.
"It seems that I have no chance to see you in Jingtao City." I hugged my wife in my arms, grabbed a towel and wiped her hair drying, and sighed.
"What happened to the fleet?" Yunyun grabbed my hand and asked nervously.
"The fleet has nothing to do, it's because I'm in some small trouble." As I said that, I told Yunyun that I was so happy, how I followed him to get off the ship, how I followed him to find the wreck, and how I met a mysterious man.
After listening to everything I told, Yunyun nodded thoughtfully and said, "It seems that that place is similar to the Soul-Suppressing Tower you encountered last time. If you cannot clear the monsters there, you will not be able to leave. In other words, it is not the place you can go at your current level."
"It looks like this." I shook my head and smiled bitterly: "I don't know if it's because of my luck or my bad luck that I've been suffering for eight lifetimes. Why do I always encounter such a thing?"
"Others can't meet you." Yunyun gave me a blank look and said sarcastically: "The benefits you got from the Soul-Suppressing Tower last time were not enough. This time I picked up a big advantage, and I still have the face to complain here? Didn't NPC say that when can you break through the defense line in the gate with your own strength and when can you let you go? According to the deadline he said, there is no other distraction. I'm afraid that when you come out from there, you should reach level 80 or 90."
"Level 80 or 90? Oh my god." After hearing Yunyun's thoughts, my head was almost two big. I spent a whole year focusing on leveling? When did I go so crazy? Even if I had done nothing for a month in the desert and leveling up and hunting treasures, it was at least not without losing my freedom. And as long as I thought, I could go around the city at any time and find someone to chat. Now I am forced to level up in seclusion, and that is not something that ordinary people can bear.
But Yunyun is right. The more abnormal the tasks in the world, the more benefits they can get after completing them. What's more, I'm just doing nothing in the Eastern Continent. At best, I'm following those brothers around and stroll around. I'm picking up a few cheap tasks. There's not more to me, but not less to me. In addition, Jueye Sect has been disbanded, Wanzhou Villa has territory, Pengfei Jingyun and Guilang help me look at it, Tianyi pawn shop has its own system to take care of, and there's no need for **'s leisure, why don't I seize this opportunity and concentrate on leveling? But...
I hugged Yunyun and said with a smile: "We could meet in the game after completing the Silk Road mission, but in this way, the time for our meeting will be postponed for a whole year."
Yunyun lowered her head, as if she was a little sad, but immediately turned her face and smiled, "Anyway, I've been waiting for so long, so I'm not afraid of waiting for this year. Besides, if it were the past, I was worried that you would be hooked by a vixen. Now, facing those NPCs all day long, I feel more secure." As she said, she put her arms on my shoulders and said word by word: "Don't worry, during your retreat, I will enjoy the air of freedom well, and will never make you worry about my bad life."
"Okay! I'm suffering inside, you'll live a good life outside. See how I deal with you!"
A war of love and will gradually begin...
"What's wrong? You finally figured it out and want to practice here?" The mysterious man was still standing in front of the empty fish tank, looking at me who had just been online with a smile.
Damn! I can’t figure it out, is there any choice?
I stared at the npc, and I had already greeted all his ancestors and eighteen generations in my heart.
"Since you are ready, I'll send you there." The mysterious man stretched out his right hand, and a small wound appeared out of thin air on his pale index fingertips. A drop of black liquid slowly gathered together, gradually forming a small pearl-like ball. The black breath circulated and jumped around it, constantly expanding outward.
It seemed as if I felt the breath emitted by the small black ball, countless ugly black spots suddenly appeared on the originally smooth floor. It was like spreading viruses, one after another, as if it was endless black holes, enough to absorb everything in the world into those black spots. Even light could not escape.
I was shocked and couldn't help but kick it, but something was entangled in my foot.
When I looked down, I was so scared that I almost screamed. At some point, countless claws formed by black smoke emerged from the dark spots, wrapping my body firmly. Then, the suffocation feeling pressed against my chest, and there was darkness in front of me...
Darkness, endless darkness.
As I struggled, the cracks on the floor were getting farther and farther away from me, and the remaining light in the room became thinner and thinner, gradually leaving only a vague shadow, as if it had never appeared.
Where are you going to pull me?
I knew I couldn't get out of those paws, but my habitual curiosity still made me make all kinds of guesses.
Haha, can you take me to hell?
It is my hometown, and I am familiar with the roads, so it is convenient to go back to the Wudicheng.
Just as I was thinking, the claws wrapped around my body suddenly disappeared. The world seemed to suddenly fall down. The feeling of weightlessness occupied the entire heart, and the sudden strong light made me unable to open my eyes at all.
But the light just flashed by, and soon I re-entered into the darkness, and water was everywhere around me.
Of course there will be water in the sea, what's so strange about this?
But what is around me is not the sea water, but the rain!
Is it raining in the sea? Or is it really hell?
"Hey! What about you? Don't hesitate there!"
What is this sound? I seemed to hear the Thunder King waving the drum hammer in my ear. I seemed to feel the rain wet my clothes. How could this feeling appear? Shouldn't I be in hell?
To be continued...
