The Dream Lake, filled with mist, was very peaceful as usual, but a slightly panicked voice broke the tranquility.
"Hurry up!"
I saw a blond-haired, blue-eyed boy from the Celestial Tribe flying in mid-air with the white wings on his back. Flying next to him were a black-robed mage and a paladin wearing thick armor. Following closely behind the three Celestials was a white horse. The brown-eyed priest hugged the elf girl tightly in his arms, rode the white horse, and chased after the young boy from the Celestial Tribe in front of him.
Several people kept rushing forward, looking behind them from time to time. His expression was a little flustered, and his figure was also a little embarrassed.
Although they were extremely tired, a group of people did not dare to stop at all. As if something terrifying was chasing behind them, a group of people ran as fast as they could.
Not long after a few people passed by, a large group of monsters with red eyes chased them, roaring and angry. What was strange was that a large group of monsters ran past without making any noise or leaving any footprints.
The distance between the Tian Clan boy and the monsters seemed to be gradually shortening. This forced the young man and his teammates to speed up again, but it didn't help. The young man and his group could only watch helplessly as the monsters got closer and closer, their blood-red eyes filled with ferocious light and some salivating greed.
Seeing that the monsters were about to catch up, the group's eyes suddenly went blank, and they felt as if they had stepped into something. Then, as if he realized something, he looked back and found that the terrifying army of monsters had disappeared at some point. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Stop." Miao Anyun breathed a sigh of relief, stopped flapping his wings, and landed.
The others also breathed a sigh of relief after discovering that the army of Warcraft behind them was gone.
Lu Jiamu got off his horse and reached out to Qi Yuhan who was still sitting on the horse. Qi Yuhan stretched out his hand and put it on his hand, and got off the horse neatly.
"Thank you, Angela!" Qi Yuhan hugged Baima's neck and gently stroked Baima's beautiful hair.
The white horse she called Angela was different from ordinary horses. It had a long spiral horn on its forehead. Its coat was shiny and smooth, and it looked extremely holy. It is not so much a white horse as it is the legendary unicorn, a pure and beautiful creature.
Angela raised her hoof, neighed happily, and brought her head closer, carefully avoiding the sharp horns, and rubbed against Qi Yuhan.
"I didn't expect it would attract so many monsters..." Carmen straightened her messy hair, feeling a little frightened. Although he is a very high-level NPC, he still has a lot of headaches about these weird monsters in the Dream Lake.
You must know that no matter how powerful the attack is, it must be able to hit the enemy to be effective. If it fails to hit, everything is meaningless. But it is quite troublesome to hit these troublesome monsters.
More than an hour ago, they encountered a leopard-shaped monster. After entangled for a while, the monster suddenly howled, attracting a large group of monsters and chasing them in panic.
Benson still looked calm, as if the great escape just now had no impact on him. He glanced at the gasping crowd, and finally cast his gaze not far away. A pair of black eyes were as calm as dead water.
"Look forward." A voice as calm as the face sounded.
Hearing this, everyone raised their eyes and looked forward. I didn't know when the surrounding fog dissipated, revealing a quiet small lake. Suddenly there were waves on the lake, and a child walked out of the lake.
The child looked to be only five or six years old, with short silver-white hair, big silver eyes that were round and very cute, and a delicate little face carved with pink and jade, but expressionless and exuding a sense of humor. indifferent.
"Intruder..." The child said in a sweet voice, with a serious expression, and looked at several people with guarded eyes. "Tell me, what are you doing here in the Realm of Truth and Falsehood?"
At the same time, Miao Anyun and others heard a notification that the mission was completed.
[Ding! System prompt: Congratulations to the player, the main mission [Searching for the Guardian] has been completed.]
"Is he Partridge?" The elf girl looked at the four small golden characters above the child's head and was quite confused, with a confused look on her face. Unexpectedly, the guardian they had been looking for for so long was actually a child.
"It should be..." Miao Anyun nodded hesitantly.
At this time, Partridge's childish voice sounded again: "Intruder, answer my question, what are you doing in the realm of truth and falsehood?" Seeing that several people did not answer, Partridge at this moment The looks he looked at several people were already a bit unkind.
Realizing that if they didn't answer, Partridge would probably drive them away, Miao Anyun quickly answered.
"Dear Guardian Partridge, we are here to follow the footsteps of the dragon clan."
As soon as he heard the word "dragon", Partridge's face suddenly turned cold and he started to move without asking anything. Miao Anyun and the others saw that Partridge's originally neutral yellow name turned into "Dragon" in the blink of an eye. Hostile red.
Then Partridge's silver eyes lit up with white light, and suddenly a cold air flow swept toward Miao Anyun and the others.
As this cold air blew past, Miao Anyun not only felt a piercing pain, but also felt that her body suddenly lost control. And the health bar that had not been filled "swish" and began to slowly fall. The same goes for everyone else.
Miao Anyun saw a DOT and a DEBUFF appear in his status bar.
[Cold current: Hit by cold breath, 1% of blood will be dropped every second, duration... ]
[Paralysis: The body is paralyzed and unable to move.]
"Bury them all here, you despicable ones..." Partridge was surprisingly angry. The anger burned his reason, and he attacked Miao Anyun and others like crazy. The few people who could not move suffered terribly under his attack, and their health bars dropped to the bottom at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Now, he was really cornered.
Carmen frowned slightly. Because he had thick health and a high level, he was not reduced to blood by Partridge's attack. He still had more than half of his health remaining. But he knew that this was only temporary, and if he didn't do anything else, he would probably have to lie here.
Although he pretends to be a player, he is actually an NPC. For NPCs like him, death is the real demise, and there is no more possibility. But Carmen was not worried about this. He naturally has a way to get himself out of trouble. After all, his level has reached 150+ after several years of accumulation, while Partridge's level is only over a hundred. The gap of dozens of levels is almost impossible to catch up.
However, Carmen did not take action. Firstly, it was because there were too many people here and it was not good to reveal their identity. Secondly, he believed that since the system issued this task, it meant that this task was not impossible to complete. In this case, there is no need for him to break away from the attack at the risk of being exposed.
What's more... Carmen glanced at Benson, who was still calm as always in the face of this desperate situation, and felt even more at ease. This guy is not in a hurry, so why should he be in a hurry
…
Partridge dodged, and his petite figure appeared in front of Miao Anyun. At some point, his left hand turned into a claw covered with silver scales, and he grabbed Miao Anyun fiercely. His silver eyes were shining with an extremely cold light, and he was about to take away the last trace of Miao Anyun's blood.
Seeing this, Carmen's brows almost furrowed into a "Chuan" shape. Looking at this scene, he couldn't help but glance at Benson beside him.
But Benson didn't move at all. He just looked at Partridge's claws indifferently.
Qi Yuhan looked at Partridge's actions and suddenly became anxious. She almost forgot that this was just a game, and the crystal water was flashing in her green eyes.
The sharp claws stopped in mid-air with a chill, staring at a pair of red eyes, a little crazy. Partridge suddenly stopped moving. The crazy scarlet color in his pupils quickly receded like a tide, and his face showed a bit of confusion. He put down his paw, and the scales on the paw disappeared, revealing the smooth skin inside.
A strange golden symbol appeared on Miao Anyun's forehead at some point. The golden symbol looked a bit like a flying dragon. The symbol was flickering with faint light at the moment, and a very majestic aura was exuding.
"The Chosen One..." Partridge looked at the symbol in front of him in surprise, his voice was very soft, almost whispering.
The next second, Miao Anyun and the others found that the paralysis on their bodies was lifted and their bodies could move. And Partridge, who had originally turned into a hostile red name, suddenly turned into a friendly green name.
"Dear Chosen One, I was rude before, I hope you can forgive me." Partridge saluted Miao Anyun with great solemnity, "I am Partridge."
This unfolding plot made Miao Anyun a little stunned. Although he guessed that his mission would not fail like this, Miao Anyun failed to guess the result.
"You said before that you were here to look for the dragon clan's footprints, right?" Partridge looked at the horizon with a distant look, "I know something. But before that, are you willing to listen to me tell a story?"
[Main mission: Memories. Mission content: Warder Partridge implores you to listen to a story he tells.]
