Chapter 135 Triggering the mission
Chapter 135 Triggering Mission
It was not difficult for Rhode to find the people of the Emerald Tears Mercenary Group. He fell carefully behind and tracked the target through the traces on the ground. Rhode has done many such things, especially like now, lurking alone in the tunnel and exploring carefully, which has caused many memories of Rhode.
That was just happened shortly after Xingguang was established. Rhodes provoked a player guild with great power at that time. After connecting and sending several senior members of the other party back to the cemetery, Rhodes was naturally wanted by the guild. In the end, the guild relied on its large crowds and strong forces to surround Rhodes in this tunnel.
However, in the end, they had no intention of defeating the previous shame. The elite group of hundreds of people was completely divided by Rhodes in the tunnel using the terrain, and then wiped out more than half of the members, and finally had to choose to evacuate in a mess. So the old hatred had not faded and new revenge was added. Of course, the guild was finally beaten to a disabled person by Rhodes who returned to the ground to summon the starlight and completely disbanded.
Sitting quietly in the mine track like now has brought Rhodes a bit of tension when facing those players.
However, as he became more and more deeply, Rhodes's originally "nostalgic" relaxed mood had completely disappeared without a trace. His expression became more and more solemn, and his face became more and more ugly.
This is not because he is lost, but because he finds that the direction these guys are in is really familiar with him.
For Rhodes, "returning back to the old place" in such a place is definitely not a good thing.
"These guys... Could it be..."
Walking to the edge of the mine, Rhode frowned, squatted down in confusion, and carefully studied the footprints in front of him. Then he turned his eyes forward again - the light of the torch had become very dark, but Rhode could still feel the dangerous aura lurking in the darkness.
Thinking of this, Rhode pulled out the bright red blade beside him, then he held his breath, quietly touched forward along the shadow of the torch.
Soon, he saw a mercenary standing outside the mineway and storming the wind.
This guy Rhode once saw that in the conflict that broke out at the door of the Mercenary Association, he was one of the team led by an idiot at that time. However, this guy was lucky at that time, otherwise he would not have lived now.
He was wearing a slightly worn leather armor, leaning against the wall, looking around boredly, without any warning.
Let's test now whether it's like you think.
Thinking of this, Rhodes took a step forward.
While the torch was shaking and the shadows covered the hole in an instant, he walked out quietly, then leaned against the edge of the wall, using the shadows and rocks there to cover his body. Not only that, if you look closely, you will also find that the cloak on Rhodes is changing with the changes in the environment at this moment, and it is transformed into the fusion and intersection of shadows and rocks from time to time, completely covering Rhodes's body.
The cloak that Rhodes got at Rock of Sigh finally came in handy again.
The mercenary did not notice Rhode. His eyes just glanced around and then took them back endlessly. No wonder, after all, there was no one here, even those warriors who had received professional training would be distracted, let alone these lazy mercenaries.
That's now!
Just as the mercenary once again took back his gaze that looked outside, lowered his head and started to get distracted again, Rhode, who had been waiting quietly by the screen next to him, finally took action!
He lifted his cloak and jumped up. A bright red blade thrust out and shot straight towards the other party's head.
Faced with this sudden attack, the originally lazy mercenary suddenly raised his head. Then he quickly retreated, pulled out the dagger in his hand and waved it up, instinctively trying to block Cairod's unexpected surprise attack, and at the same time, to distance himself and give himself some time to make him perform his duties as a guard.
His reaction was indeed very fast.
But Rhodes is faster.
The mercenary just turned his head and before he even had time to open his mouth, the bright red blade had already penetrated his head. Then, the mercenary's body fell back with the remaining force of movement, leaning heavily against the wall, and the dagger in his hand fell down. However, before it could fall to the ground, Rhode quickly grabbed it, and then shamelessly stuffed it into his arms.
The mercenary's body slid down the wall of the tunnel, leaning there crookedly like a ragged ball. His eyes were wide open, and his face still retained the expression of being attacked. Bright red blood slowly oozed out from his eyes, forehead, mouth and nose, and it seemed that he was dead and could not die anymore.
Rhode took back his sword, and then his expression suddenly changed slightly. Then he raised the sword with his backhand and penetrated the mercenary's body like lightning.
“———!!”
However, unlike the silent death before, this time the body that was penetrated suddenly began to tremble violently. At the same time, you can see clearly bulging on the mercenary's body, as if dozens of giant snakes were wandering under his skin. Traces oozing out of the mercenary's clothes, with shocking madness. Rhode gritted his teeth and nailed the corpse to the wall. Until a moment later, the corpse regained its previous calm again, he sighed lightly and then pulled out his sword.
Unlike before, this time, with the pulling out of the bright red blade, what flew out was not the red blood that humans should have, but a green, viscous liquid.
This is a big trouble.
Looking at the bloody marks on his sword, Rhode frowned.
In fact, one of the big reasons why he did not relax his vigilance because of the other party's death was that Rhodes did not receive a systematic prompt about experience points. This made him stay alert and avoid the tragedy. Although this is a real world, Rhodes has already learned through experiments that as long as he kills anything in this world, he will gain experience, whether it is a monster, an alchemy creature or a human.
However, when killing the mercenary before, Rhode did not get the prompt he deserved. This can only explain one problem--that is, the other party was not dead at all!
But this situation shouldn't have happened?
Thinking of this, Rhode's expression was already very gloomy. As a "walking library", he could now be sure of one thing--that is, in this mine track, the "little monster" with this characteristic will only appear in a damn mission.
And this is one of the tasks he is least willing to encounter now.
"This is really a big trouble..."
Rhode sighed softly, then he stretched out his sword and cut open the mercenary's clothes. Under the thirsty muscle cortex, there were bright protrusions that were even nauseating - especially when they looked like roaring mouths.
"bite---!"
And at this moment, a crisp voice suddenly sounded from Rhode's mind, and then a system prompt quickly appeared in front of Rhode.
[You noticed the existence of evil, the breath of darkness, they were struggling in the shadows, trying to return to this world - the mission triggered "The Devil's Whisper"]
When he saw the system prompts in this line, Rhode couldn't help but be stunned.
You should know that this was the first time he saw a task that actually existed in the system prompt after coming to this world.
Originally, Rhodes thought that there were no system tasks here, because he had led the mercenary group to do so many tasks before, but the system has never displayed any prompts like [You received a task] or [You have completed a task], so Rhodes still felt that there was still a difference here with the game - but what's going on now? He just sighed that the game was indeed different from reality. Now the system is eager to jump out and slap in the face?
However, Rhodes was not furious. He was very familiar with the task of "The Devil's Whisper". This is not the kind of task that can be received from NPC, but a task that is accidentally triggered by a series of coincidences. Of course, it is impossible for you to get paid or equipment from any NPC after completing this task. However, such tasks will generally be given some special rewards, such as passive skills, experience, or skill points.
Now it seems that the truth is also true. After clicking on the task of "The Devil's Whisper", the reward content that appears in it is no different from what Rhode remembers. After completing this task, you can get five thousand experience, and you will also get an additional three skill points and a special random reward of ???
Is this a reality or a game?
Rhodes now has a little bit of a complaint.
As a player who has completed this task, Rhodes certainly knows how troublesome this task is. In fact, for a moment, he really wanted to leave here and return to the ground. Although this task was taken, it might not have to be completed. At worst, it would be cancelled. Anyway, there would be no punishment for canceling the task.
But Rhodes can't do that.
If the practice of Emerald Tears has caused the trigger of the mission "The Devil's Whisper", it means that Starlight and the entire Deep Rock City will encounter unprecedented dangers.
Especially considering the relationship between himself and the Tears of Jade, Rhodes did not believe that those guys would be so kind and generous and not put themselves and Starlight in the position of the number one destroyer.
The danger must be solved at the first moment.
It would be too late to wait until "The Devil's Whisper" becomes "The Devil's Temptation" or "The Devil's Destruction".
Thinking of this, Rhode stretched out his right hand.
Soon, a white card appeared in the palm of his hand in a spiral.
