Chapter 263 Obsession
I stopped suddenly and looked straight ahead. There was a damaged chariot that had been broken into a pile. The parts of the car were almost covered by weeds, but there was a dilapidated blue flag above the car, fluttering in the air with the sound of "Hurr~".
"Lin Fan, what's the matter with you?" Xu Lin looked back at me in surprise.
I pointed to the flag and asked, "Do you remember what that is? Why does it look so familiar to me?"
Xu Lin shook her head blankly, Xin Yu also looked puzzled, but at this time Lu Xuehan smiled and said: "I remember this, it appeared on Yueheng's official forum, it should be a totem of a branch of the orc race, um, it is this shape and this color, it must be, but, why do these appear on the human territory?"
I suddenly realized, no wonder it was so familiar, I remembered, this totem looks like the clan totem on the Juggernaut.
"Sister Lin, how long have we been walking since Golden Dawn?"
Xu Lin made some calculations and replied, "It's been about half an hour, what's the matter?"
I opened the system map, checked it and said, "Have you noticed that we have almost reached the end of Crow Ridge, and we can walk to the cemetery of Crow Ridge in at most 8 minutes?"
Xu Lin was slightly startled: "So what?"
"I think our mission has already started. It stands to reason that the last time the orcs invaded humans was 10 years ago, but why the flag from 10 years ago can still be planted here without corruption." Seeing that everyone was at a loss, I said directly: "There is only one reason, and that is that the power of orcs still came here, and it is very likely that it has something to do with our mission."
Xu Lin laughed softly: "Good guy, you can deduce so much with just a banner. What if the game designer made a mistake, you know, there are traces to follow in reality and you can reason like this, but everything we are here now is just fictitious data. Humans will make mistakes, so reasoning sometimes doesn't work in games."
When I thought about it carefully, what Xu Lin said made sense, maybe I was too focused.
Even so, I was still not reconciled, and walked to the side of the broken car in two or three steps, reached out and grabbed the flag to pull it off, but at this moment, I suddenly felt a heat in my palm, and the flag actually responded, followed by a system message.
"Ding~,"
System prompt: You have touched the plot mechanism. Since you are in the mission [Magic Flute of Shadows], the plot and the mission are officially merged, and you have obtained the relay task [Obsession, Find the Great Orc Priest] of the [Magic Flute of Shadows] mission.
[Obsession, looking for the Orc High Priest] (relay task: level, purple)
Task content: This banner records a piece of history of the orc clan, with it, it will guide you to find its owner, the orc high priest.
...
In the team channel, my mission was also shared with everyone. When she saw this text, Xu Lin had to say, "I really found out the mission for you. Next, what shall we do?"
I pulled out the flag with all my strength, and saw a faint blue light emanating from the top of the flag, shining straight to the southwest direction, which is our destination, the Crow Ridge Cemetery.
"Follow me, the following plot seems to have a lot of tricks..."
Guided by the light of the flag, we walked all the way forward, and the night gradually descended on this gloomy woodland, and the fog became thicker and thicker. Unlike the woods in Moonlight Town, the fog here also carried a very uncomfortable dead air, just like the plague brought by ghouls.
Lu Xuehan frowned, and said, "This place is too well designed, why does it feel like a scene from a horror movie?"
Xu Lin was a little more courageous, and she smiled and said, "Of course, did you forget that the place name here is Wuyaling Cemetery? Since it is a cemetery, it must be a place where ghosts gather, and it's normal to have some undead aura. If you talk about it, you won't be so scared. Otherwise, let's ask Lin Fan to tell a joke."
"No, his jokes are not suitable for children," Guo Zi immediately denied, and said, "Why don't you let Xin Yu tell a little story,"
Xu Lin was speechless: "I'm afraid the stories she tells will only be more inappropriate for children, and besides, I've almost listened to the make-up,"
Everyone was talking, when there was a ringtone from the system.
"Ding~,"
System prompt: You have been infected by the undead plague, the speed of life recovery is reduced by 50%, and the effect of using potions and other items is reduced by 50%.
I froze for a moment, could it be that the system wants to create factors that are unfavorable to us first, and then get rid of us in one fell swoop.
The fog became thicker and thicker, making it almost impossible to breathe normally, but at this time a very strange thing happened.
"Whoo~"
The light on the top of the banner was shining brightly, piercing through the fog like holy light, and in a blink of an eye, the thick fog gathered by the breath of the undead dissipated ten percent of the time.
Our destination has been reached.
...
A desolate Crow Ridge still retains the old human buildings. Several low houses are dilapidated. Almost every house is surrounded by a few senior skeleton warriors carrying bone shields. Behind the houses is the legendary Crow Ridge. It’s getting late, and the uneven tombs make people feel chills. Not only that, but also the inexplicable screams faintly coming from the system voice are also creepy.
I waved the blood-red sword and led an undead skeleton warrior in front of me. This kind of undead creature is afraid of holy light magic, so Lu Xuehan's healing holy light magic has instead become the main attack power. Originally, her healing output is high. A healing technique with a normal cooling time of 2 seconds can add about 1800 blood, but hitting the undead skeleton warrior can cause double damage. The figure of 3600 makes everyone dumbfounded.
This kind of skeleton warrior is obviously much higher level than ordinary undead creatures. Their skeletons are huge, and it seems that they should not be human beings before they were alive. Besides, there is another factor that makes me conclude that they are not human. There are two things like horns growing on their forehead bone wounds.
Could it be that they were originally orc tauren warriors.
This is probably the case, the blood volume of this level 75 ordinary monster is as high as more than 30,000, and it takes at least ten seconds to kill one of us under the bombardment of a group of people.
After clearing away the skeletons near the house, we unknowingly came to the front of the cemetery.
The scene of the cemetery was dilapidated as expected, with scattered tombstones inserted obliquely beside the mound, and some of the tombs left only a shocking pit, which should have been dug by grave robbers. In the cemetery, we also saw more undead skeleton warriors, they wandered there aimlessly, whimpering.
The light on the banner in my left hand was gradually dimming, and at this moment, an old voice came from the small house on our right.
"Strangers, what are you here for?"
Everyone looked back, but saw an old orc standing there with a height of less than one meter. He bent his body and looked at us full of hostility. A lavender light kept flickering in his right hand.
Xin Yu quickly raised her longbow and was about to strike, I quickly stopped her: "Don't be impulsive, we should be polite first, and the mission did not mention killing this person, just look at his name."
"The high priest of the orc..." Xin Yu muttered something, then turned to me and said, "Are there dwarfs among the orcs?"
"Fuck, how do I know..."
The orc high priest's eyes fell on the flag in my hand, and for a moment, his eyes suddenly became sharp.
"The sacred clan totem will actually fall into the hands of a human being, stranger, why are you here?"
I was taken aback by his words, it was really hard for him that such a small body could make such a loud noise.
"..."
Just as I was about to speak, the high priest of the orc said: "Humans and the orc tribe have maintained a friendly relationship for eight years. You should have no malicious intentions. However, why did you come to this peaceful soul to rest in peace and disturb the heroic spirit of our warriors?"
Xu Lin took a step forward and said, "We're just looking for the lost army. A human army of nearly a thousand people passed by here half a month ago. Have you seen it?"
A flustered expression was fleeting on the high priest's withered face. He said, "I have guarded the souls of my warriors here for eight years. I have never seen a human army pass by here. You can look elsewhere."
Xu Lin nodded, turned around and whispered in my ear, "Do you believe what he said?"
"Of course I don't believe it." I shook my head and said, "His acting skills are really bad. My acting skills were better than his when I was in the kindergarten class and played with the teacher's building blocks and lied."
Xu Lin smiled and said, "I think so too, so what should we do next?"
I didn't know either, so I said, "Why don't you clear up these skeleton warriors here, anyway, they're here, so they have to do something,"
Everyone agreed, so they killed the level 75 monsters together. Although the skeleton warriors were more difficult to kill, the experience was still good. Guozi was only level 55 just now, and there must be a lot of experience gained from killing monsters beyond level 20.
Just as he was having fun, Xin Yu suddenly turned around and said to me: "By the way, Lin Fan, my younger brother is coming to Suzhou for a few days. He said he wanted to visit me. School starts in three days. I really don't know what he is doing here."
I was slightly surprised, and asked: "Where does he go to school? Didn't he just get his girl's belly big? If he doesn't accompany her well, he dares to come out and run around."
Xin Yu said helplessly, "I have no choice. He insisted on coming over. Besides, we haven't seen each other for more than a year. He is studying in Nanjing, a not-so-good vocational college. I guess he must be just dawdling there."
Xu Lin smiled and said, "I almost forgot, Xin Yu's home is in Nanjing~ Your brother can come if he wants to, we all welcome you, Lin Fan, you can be regarded as his half relative~"
I smiled mechanically: "Come here...then come here, at least I'll treat him to dinner..."
Xin Yu giggled and said: "If that's the case, there's no problem. He'll only be here for a day. Help him open a room outside. Our house can't accommodate such a master."
"When did you come over,"
"Maybe in the afternoon,"
"Fuck, so fast..."
Xin Yu pouted and said, "No way, he said he was suffocating at home and wanted to come out early to get some air, but don't worry, let's continue the game in the afternoon. I've already told him that I'm going for a stroll in Suzhou, so I can just call here during dinner time."
"That is not bad,"
I secretly thought that Xin Yu's younger brother is also her family member, and the relationship between this person must be done well.
After more than 30 minutes of killing, the skeleton warriors who were originally scattered in the cemetery were killed in sevens and eights. At this time, the orc high priest ran out again. When he saw the skeletons all over the ground, he burst into tears and said: "You fought bravely and died in life, but you will be destroyed by humans after death."
After finishing speaking, he glared at us and said word by word: "You will pay for what you have done,"
Seeing the furious priest, we were all dumbfounded, it was just a skeleton, we didn't offend him.
Thinking about it carefully, all the skeletons we killed were transformed from the corpses of orc soldiers. This can easily explain the anger of the high priest, but what is he still clinging to these skeletons for now?
"Ding~,"
System prompt: Your team has completed the relay task [Obsession,, Find the High Priest of the Orc], and the task continues to transfer to the plot of [Magic Flute of Illusion].
I carefully read the system prompt again, and confirmed that there is no reward for this task. At this moment, the high priest took out a black flute, put it on his lips, and played it leisurely.
Xu Lin was slightly startled: "What's the matter? Could it be that he's depressed?"
Facts have proved that this old guy is not depressed, but frantic.
"Ding~,"
System prompt: You are affected by the sound of the magic flute, and all attributes are reduced by 10%.
...
Is this the influence of the sound of the Magic Flute of Illusion? If it's just that, then it's really worthy of the powerful level of the orange mission.
Yueheng will never let the players down, a burst of galloping hooves woke me up from my dream.
I hurriedly looked back, and that was where the sound of horseshoes came from.
I saw the door leading to the underground tomb slowly opened, a golden light shot out from below, and in a blink of an eye, a large number of knights rushed out from the depths of the tomb.
"Ah...it's the Knight of the Golden Dawn," Xu Lin exclaimed in shock.
"Ding~,"
System prompt: Bewitched by the Magic Flute of Illusion, the former vanguard of the Golden Knights formally challenged your team.
I instantly felt chills down my spine. The knights in front of me are all level 75 gold elite knights. The number is more than 500 at least. I checked with the identification technique and found that their attack is as high as 1400, and their defense is also 1100. Once we are surrounded by them, we will definitely lose the power to resist.
Glancing at the houses behind me, I said eagerly, "Let's hide in that slightly larger residential building first, and fight one by one to still have a chance to win. If we besiege, we're done for."
After finishing speaking, I pulled Lu Xuehan and Xu Lin one by one to the left and ran forward. The two of them are mages, so their movement speed is not as fast as that of Guozi, let alone Xinyu.
The sound of the flute continued, and the orc high priest was very focused and ignored our escape, but his face became more and more ferocious, and his glance at us was like looking at prey.
Lu Xuehan's face turned red from running, while she turned her head to look at the direction Xin Yu was running from, and said, "Obviously they are members of the Golden Knights, why are we running?"
I was quite speechless, and glanced at her: "Silly girl, you have to wait for someone's big sword to fall on your head before you know whether you are an enemy or a friend. Didn't you see the words in the system prompt?"
Lu Xuehan retorted: "But none of their health bars are red, does the blue health bar mean that they are not our enemies?"
The room was right in front of me, I hurriedly stuffed Lu Xuehan and Xu Lin in, and when I looked back, I realized that what Lu Xuehan said was indeed correct. Although these knights who were originally NPCs were hostile to us, their blood bars were indeed blue.
The blue blood bar was getting closer, accompanied by Xin Yu's exaggerated cry and the warm fragrance of throwing herself into her arms.
Seeing that the knights had rushed up, and I was the only one blocking the door, Xu Lin asked eagerly, "Lin Fan, should we attack these knights, will it cause the NPCs on our side to kill by mistake?"
I thought for a while, then turned around and said: "Use the faction attack mode, the newly spawned attack mode, Sister Lin, you set fire to the outside directly, the door of this room is not big, I can block it by myself, Xuehan will add blood to me,"
After the distribution was completed, the first knight had already rushed up, and the long knight spear stabbed up with a huge impact.
I immediately gritted my teeth and pushed forward, hoping that my strength points could withstand the knight's impact.
"When~,"
Amidst the clanging of metal and stone, the spear drew an arc from my breastplate with sparks and inserted it into the wall next to it, while I swung my sword and gave him a long-prepared combo.
"2551,"
"5421,"
"2442,"
"3208,"
...
With a fatal blow, the total damage reached more than 13,000, but it only knocked out one-third of his blood. Fortunately, Xin Yu and Xu Lin behind him also used their highest damage skills at the same time, especially Xin Yu, her double shot actually dealt more than 10,000 damage.
"Look, there are blood bars under the blue blood bars, which are green, and the health bars of the friendly side," Guozi exclaimed in surprise.
With one of my normal attacks, the knight's HP was finally exhausted, but to my surprise, he didn't die, but walked away flattering.
