Chapter 27 Complete the task
I thought about it. If I were to track down General Thunder with Huo Bing, I would definitely encounter monsters like before, or some other monsters. At my current level, I might be able to deal with one or two, but if I had more or higher-level monsters, I would definitely have to stay one way.
Moreover, there are not many talismans and medicines on my body, and there are not enough fire spirit stones. At that time, Huo Bing will not add blood, so how can I continue to do the task alone?
I believe that this should be done by players above level 20, and it is not something that a single person can do. If you form a team, there are a certain number of monks, and bring enough potions and enough fire spirit stones, you can complete this task.
So, I chose to send a letter to Huo Bing, nodded and said to him: "Don't worry, I will tell Huo Jia and the others what you are doing."
Huo Bing nodded, took out three things from his arms and said to me: "I have nothing to thank you, these things are no longer useful to me. Just treat your thank you for helping me."
"How embarrassed." I laughed and took the thing he handed me. One of them was Yu Zhitu, which was the reward for me for one hundred fire spirit stones, and the other two surprised me.
Five bottles of potions and a sleeve arrow.
Flame Blood: Can turn the user's five elements into fire, and the effect of all fire skills is increased by 50%, and the duration is 30 minutes.
Bloodsucking Arrow: a hidden weapon, ancillary equipment. Each time you use it, consume 2 points of the soul, damage is 40-80, and it will be automatically recycled after release. If you hit the target and successfully recycle it, you can convert 5% of the damage caused by the opponent into your own physical strength. You must recover it before you can use it again.
Needless to say, the blood of flames should be a kind of medicine. If you drink it, our fire spirit talisman and the attack of the sky fire curse can be increased by 50% on the original basis, which is really good. It's just a little less. There are only five bottles, so we have to save some drinks and never use them until the critical moment.
The blood-sucking arrow is a very good weapon for us.
It consumes less blue and can also suck blood, which means we can bring less Xiao Huandan in the future, or it can continue to fight for a longer time.
Moreover, it is an attached equipment, which means it can be used at the same time as our Red Cloud Umbrella, which saves the trouble of changing weapons.
I delivered letters to Brothers Huojia, exchange fire spirit stones, and send letters to the general's wife. We did all three tasks at once, and the harvest was really rich. But we still had one task that we didn't do... I looked at Huo Bing a few times. I wanted to kill him while we were now, so our itinerary would be complete.
Unfortunately, I don’t know if I can continue to do the remaining tasks after killing him. If he gives me a curse or something before he dies, then we will lose rice. And judging from the fact that he can knock out four monsters one-on-four, even if I can use the bug of the Iron Sect to kill him, it will take at least some effort. Besides, who knows if our hands are stained with his blood, will be killed by Huo Jia and his brothers as soon as we go out.
"Huo Bing. I want to tell you something." After careful consideration, I finally said: "Actually, I have another task to come here."
"What task?" Huo Bing looked at me without any warning.
"General Thunder issued a pursuit order, asking me to come here to kill you."
"What did you say?" Huo Bing turned his head and looked at me. The spear in his hand was already tightly clenched, and he could take the initiative to kill me as soon as I took action.
I glanced at the spear in his hand and said with a wry smile: "You don't have to be so nervous. If I really wanted to kill you, I wouldn't have saved you before and helped you fight back the four weirdos. And after that, you no longer have any doubts about me. If I took action behind your back, would you think you could still live until now?"
In fact, even if I take action from behind, I can't kill Huo Bing in an instant. However, for an NPC, his way of thinking will definitely not be like this. So I can use this method to gain the trust of Huo Bing.
"Indeed." Huo Bing's spear loosened and said to me with a smile: "Although you may not be able to kill me from behind, if you really come to kill me, you will never help me fight back those Zoroastrians."
"Zoroastrians?" It turns out that those strange people are Zoroastrians. I remember that I have heard some stories about Zoroastrians before. History says that they originated in the Western Regions and were particularly popular among ethnic minorities such as Miao and Xinjiang. No wonder those people dressed in strange looks, they turned out to be Miao and Xinjiang.
"Not bad." Huo Bing said: "The Zoroastrians are the subordinates of the Flame Demon. They found here to kill me to silence me."
I nodded and said, "I think it's very likely after hearing what you said. But since General Thunder asked me to kill you, if I return without success, he might be suspicious. It's best if you can take out something and let me prove to him that you have been killed by me, so that he will no longer doubt me."
Huo Bing smiled and waved his hand and said, "He won't believe you have killed me. He knows very clearly about my strength. If only one or two people can kill me, he doesn't have to send so many believers to chase me. But it's easy for you to gain his trust. I can give you something, you can show him and tell him that you don't have the ability to kill me, but I'm seriously injured."
"What?" I asked.
Huo Bing smiled slightly, took out a fire spirit stone from his arms, then stretched out his fingers, and grabbed it hard on the tip of the spear. A trace of blood shining with red light immediately emerged from his palm. Huo Bing gently applied his blood to the fire spirit stone, and the fire spirit stone immediately became red, like a truly priceless ruby.
"Just this, that fake general Thunder would believe that I had seriously injured you?" I took the Fire Spirit Stone stained with his blood from Huo Bing, and found that its name and attributes were exactly the same as before, but its appearance changed slightly.
"It's the earth." Huo Bing nodded and said, "But the mana that my blood condenses on the fire spirit stone can only last for a stick of incense, so you must hand over the things to the fake general before the mana disappears."
As soon as Huo Bing's words fell, the system suddenly heard a prompt: "Hundred Ghost Yasha players, you must send the Fire Spirit Stone to the General's Mansion within ten minutes and hand it over to the fake Thunder General, otherwise the mission will fail." At the same time, a lit incense appeared in the upper right corner of my view, which has already entered the countdown.
This is easy to deal with.
Anyway, the General’s Mansion is in Xuanyuan Tomb, and it can be done in three minutes by using Zhang Huicheng Talisman.
Huo Bing disappeared in front of me quickly. I took out the return talisman and returned to Xuanyuan City. However, the system prompted again: "You are carrying special mission items on you, and you cannot use the return talisman."
Damn! Damn! Damn! Damn!
I didn't say it early, so I wasted a minute.
It's really a tough ten minutes to run from the Fire Spirit Cave to the General's Mansion.
Without saying a word, I jumped into the waterway. Regardless of whether there were any monsters behind me, I just ran towards the exit as fast as possible.
"That Taoist priest, do you want to form a team? You..."
"What are you doing when you run so fast? You're being chased by ghosts!"
"Good...good...so weird..."
"Help-Everyone run!"
There were bursts of exclamations behind me. While running, I looked back and said a little sorry to the group of players who were leveling up in my heart.
There is no way, we are in a hurry. When we rushed through several open spaces, we didn't pull the mechanism of the waterway. Now hundreds of fire demons chased me and I don't know how far it has been. This group of players happened to meet them, and they were completely unprepared. They were photographed by the fierce fire demons on the spot.
It’s also their own bad luck. It’s better not to go to such a place to level up in the future. It’s better to fight wild animals in the wild.
When we were almost at the entrance of the Fire Spirit Cave, we suddenly heard that the two brothers Huo Jia and Huo Ding were arguing with each other on the same player.
"Brother, we have been here so many times, so we are acquaintances. Last time I just handed over two less fire spirit stones. As for this time I won't let me in?"
It's broken! Why do we forget this?
All the fire spirit stones on my body were handed over to Huo Bing. Except for the one stained with blood, there was no fire spirit stone in my backpack.
Even if I am familiar with Huo Jia and Huo Yi, the system settings may not necessarily change. I cannot guarantee that if I don’t exchange fire spirit stones this time, will the next time the Huo Jia and his brothers turn against each other and will not let us in.
In the future, we will think of leveling up in the Fire Spirit Cave, so we cannot take this risk.
Stopped my pace, I started sneaking up and took advantage of the moment when the player was still entangled with Fire Armor and others, and directly touched them...
"General, I have a heavy trust that I have been unable to kill Huo Bing, but I have beaten him seriously." Seeing the last bit of incense ash falling, I finally handed the fire spirit stone to the counterfeit general with my own hands, and said gasping: "He is now injured and run away, I believe he can't escape far."
"Um..." The fake general put the fire spirit stone in front of his nose and sniffed it, then swallowed it into his stomach, smacked his lips and nodded and said, "Yes, this is indeed the blood of the fire spirit. You have done a good job in this."
Huh... I finally passed the test.
Wiping the cold sweat on my forehead (ps: ghosts can sweat too, I really don’t know what the game setting is. Tiandi Game Designer: It’s cold sweat, just treat it as the antiseptic liquid of the corpse. Isn’t it better to just drip it? The protagonist: I...), I breathed a sigh of relief and waited for the general to reward us.
"Ba!" There was something suddenly in front of us, and the fake general said, "Even if this is rewarded by me, I will definitely not treat you badly in the future."
Isn't this a bad thing for me?
I picked up the bottle of flaming blood on the ground, exactly the same as the bottle that Huo Bing gave me.
A great general shouldn't be so shabby even if he is a fake one, right?
People give five bottles of Huo Bing, but you only give one bottle, and your attitude is so bad.
If I had known this was the case, I would have done my job for you! (ps: Don't forget, you are a ghost.)
After exiting the general's room, we went to the wife's side to swing around. I thought that we had sent her a letter to her lover, and it would be a bit of a benefit to complete the task. But I searched all the two rooms on the left and right, but I didn't see the shadow of the general's wife at all.
Going out shopping?
If a woman is fine, don’t run around. Can’t you be at home and wait for me to come back? (ps: Who are you, the general’s wife?)
But when I walked out of the General's Mansion, I felt even more strange.
I was running in a hurry before, but then I suddenly realized why even Huo Yi, who was standing guard at the door, disappeared? Could it be that the general's wife was shopping and this kid helped him carry his bag?
No matter what, anyway, NPCs in the world like to run around without any trouble, so I should do the next task as soon as possible.
Touching the token on my body, I turned around and walked towards the Fire Spirit Cave calmly.
"Huh? Why are you?" Seeing me walking towards me, Huo Jia first asked, "Didn't you go in? Why did you come over from outside again?"
Ah...broken...
My eyes rolled and I smiled and said, "Did you forget what I did? Since I practice Taoism, I naturally know a little trick of flying and escaping the earth. Can a mere fire spirit cave lock me up?"
"So that's how it is." Huo Jia nodded without any doubts. Huo Yi asked nervously: "Have you seen my second brother inside? Have you brought us words to you? How is he doing now? Have you caught the flame demon?"
I'm dizzy!
Ask me so many questions at the same time, and ask me to answer which one is better first.
I looked around and confirmed that no player could hear me. Then I took out Huo Bing's token from my backpack and whispered: "I saw Huo Bing inside, and helped him fight a few Fire Cultists. He asked me to tell you that the general outside is fake now, and it is very likely that he was disguised as a fire demon."
Then, I repeated Huo Bing's words to Huo Jia and the other two.
Huo Jia touched the token in his hand, squinted for a while, and whispered: "What happened like this?"
Chapter completed!
