"His, hiss..."
In the ball of light, a miniature version of the illusory black snake was swimming inside, rushing around wildly.
But all the time, it could only float and spin in the air.
[Black Snake Spirit]
Level: First level of metamorphosis
Grade: Perfect·Sacrifice
Explanation: The spirit of a ferocious mortal-level black snake has devoured some human beings recently. Sacrificing it should be able to resonate with the heroic souls of the human race!
"Sure enough, a sacrifice has been made!"
Ji Ye's face showed true excitement for the first time.
Because sacrifice, which is actually the same as "merit", is a new hot word appearing on the forum these days.
Once the "player" completes the stronghold mission, among the loot, there will inevitably be an item with a "sacrificial" attribute.
And based on the name, we know that it was used for sacrifice.
As for the process of sacrifice, it needs to be carried out in the stronghold of the race or civilization.
"Moreover, it turns out to be a perfect quality sacrifice. In theory, it will be able to maximize the effect of the sacrifice."
"If I remember correctly, the Chinese who completed the stronghold mission first received only outstanding quality as a sacrifice."
"It seems that the level of the sacrifice should be affected by the evaluation of the completed task, and has nothing to do with the time when the stronghold task is completed!"
Ji Ye thought to himself.
The reason why he is thinking about this.
It's because, on domestic forums, some experts think so. The judging criteria for stronghold missions may be similar to those set in some online game novels. The first group of people to complete the task can receive additional or even hidden rewards.
Therefore, we call on domestic players to try their best to finish as early as possible to grab a spot!
But Ji Ye completely disagreed with this point.
Since a ten-day task deadline is given, in theory, as long as it is completed within the task time, it is considered a success.
And finishing early is not necessarily something worthy of praise, because it is likely to be achieved through reckless risk-taking rather than careful planning and implementation!
Now, since he still obtained a perfect level sacrifice, it naturally proved that the latter was right.
However, the attributes of this sacrifice seemed to reveal some information.
"Have you eaten some humans recently?"
Looking at the black snake in the light ball, even though it was shrunk and illusory, it was still full of violent and vicious intent, Ji Ye couldn't help but frown.
He has been monitoring the black snake for a lot of time recently and has not found any humans nearby. In this case, the only explanation should be...
Ji Ye turned his head and looked at the foggy area about fifty meters away.
"Wow!"
At this time, there was a sudden gust of wind and clouds in the mountains, and the layer of fog that had been shrouding the south side of the mountain was blown away by this strong wind.
"The fog has cleared!"
And in the dispersing fog, people's shouts were first heard.
When the fog completely disappeared, a group of men in short clothes were revealed, holding slightly crude knives, guns, bows and arrows and other weapons, as well as burning torches, and wearing somewhat shabby ancient-style clothing.
"I saw it, the demon snake was there."
"Everyone, rush forward and kill the demon snake to avenge Erniu and the others."
These people first looked at the mist that suddenly dissipated with a little anxiety and surprise.
Then, when their eyes noticed the black snake on the rocky ground, they all gnashed their teeth and rushed towards this side, shouting!
"No, the demon snake... seems to be dead!"
Because of the distance and the fact that the sun had completely set, the sky was already dark.
Therefore, when these people looked at it from a distance, they did not notice anything strange about the black snake. When they got closer, they discovered that the black snake was dead.
Moreover, there were several bronze crossbow arrows inserted into the body that were as thick as a baby's arm. The body around one of the silver crossbow arrows was even burnt to a crisp, the head was broken off, and even all the bones in the body seemed to have been taken away. , the death situation is extremely miserable!
"It's already dead... who killed it?"
"Did Ergou and the others break through the fog area and come up before us? No, this is not the arrow from our copycat!"
"Could it be..."
Then, after a moment of confusion, two people turned around and ran back with surprised faces.
"Mr. Hu, the demon snake has been killed..."
Reported to an old man who had just climbed up the mountain, was a little thin, wore an ill-fitting blue robe, and was leaning on the rocks panting due to lack of physical strength.
"What!"
After hearing this, the old man in green shirt was obviously shocked.
Not caring about resting anymore, he panted and ran to the side of the black snake. After seeing clearly the dead state of the black snake, his face turned slightly pale.
"He was really killed...who did it? Could it be..."
"it's me!"
A voice sounded, but Ji Ye stood up from behind a rock behind the group of people.
He had already taken off the "Mantis Invisibility Cloak" on his upper body, although his appearance still looked a bit weird compared to those of these people.
"who!"
Ji Ye's sudden appearance obviously startled these people, and the weapons they held in their hands turned in his direction involuntarily.
After seeing clearly that his face belonged to a human being, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"He said he killed the demon snake!"
"They are not from our copycat."
"Such a weird costume... Wait a minute, isn't this the 'Chosen One' mentioned in the oracle?"
However, after she figured out what he meant, she was stunned for a while, looking at Ji Ye with surprise and strangeness on her face, and talking a lot.
"Quiet..."
The old man wearing a green shirt and long robe obviously has a certain authority among the pile of short clothes.
After he spoke, the discussion suddenly became much quieter, but everyone still stared at Ji Ye with curiosity and a little awe!
"Strong man, did you really kill this demonic snake?"
After drinking to stop the others, the old man in green shirt asked Ji Ye with shock and some anxiety on his face.
"certainly… "
Ji Ye raised his hand, revealing the Savage Bull heavy crossbow in his hand that was the same color as the crossbow arrows on the black snake!
"Ah, he really did it!"
"So, he is the 'Chosen One', and he actually killed the demon snake all by himself."
"It turns out that the Chosen One looks just like us, not just three-headed and six-armed..."
Then, there was another burst of excitement among the men in simple short shirts opposite, but the weapons in their hands took the initiative to put down one after another.
"Sure enough... as long as you don't take the initiative to provoke, there won't be any conflicts?"
Ji Ye secretly thought.
He showed up and did not reply with denial or cover-up.
Because he already knew the identity of these people, the aborigines of the only human stronghold on this mountain.
In other words, the place of inheritance evolved based on human civilization and the "NPCs" that belong to the people on earth.
The coalition government has announced the latest important information on the top post: These indigenous people should already know the news that the "Chosen One" is coming, so as long as the players find the stronghold, they can successfully join without conflict with them. Among them, even because of their special status, they generally receive some treatment.
However, it is just preferential treatment. If you want to have power or more things in the stronghold, you need to fight for and manage it yourself.
Because, although these people evolved from the civilizations of various races in the inheritance land, they are almost indistinguishable from the players and belong to the real life of this world.
Looking at this situation, it is obvious that this black snake must have eaten people in the stronghold, so it was sought out on the mountain for revenge.
Now that Ji Ye has killed the black snake, he will definitely be able to gain the favor of these "aboriginals" to a large extent and have a good start after entering the stronghold!
As for why he hid behind the rock in the first place.
It was because Ji Ye suddenly thought that he was wearing a "mantis invisibility cloak" that even covered his face. In the eyes of these ancient people, he might be regarded as a monster.
At that time, if the benefactor didn't take it seriously, it would be a joke if he was shot to death with an arrow first.
However, what happened next was completely beyond Ji Ye's expectation.
"Old Hu Feng has met the leader of the village!"
And after hearing Ji Ye's reply, he could clearly see under the firelight that the crossbow in Ji Ye's hand was comparable to the heavy crossbow used on a chariot, which corresponded to the crossbow arrows on the black snake.
However, the old man in green shirt looked excited, and suddenly bowed to Ji Ye and shouted loudly.
