Faced with such contempt by the middle-aged soldier, Lu Xuehan only smiled with a good temper. If he changed to Murong Shanshan, it might explode.
I stepped forward and asked the old pastor: "Teacher, what happened here? We saw someone killed on a wooden stake on the road outside the town. What is going on?"
The old priest was dumbfounded, and said sadly: "Della never escaped the fate of being killed. I told the child a long time ago that undead creatures are inhuman. How can escape and surrender have good results?"
The middle-aged soldier spit, and said: "Della flees, it is not wrong to die! Teacher, what should we do next, the two adventurers you trust are already here, do you open the town gate and lead the villagers? Go back to Silvermoon City and ask for reinforcements?"
The old priest shook his head: "The regular army of Silvermoon City has resisted the invasion of the undead at the fortress. They are also helpless to the small groups of undead here. They can only rely on some mercenaries and adventurers to eradicate them. Therefore, even if we send letters to Yinyue City, they can only let them hang this task on a cheap reward card, which is of no use to us. All I want now is to send these townspeople to a safe place!"
Lu Xuehan smiled and said to me: "Our resident is a very safe place. No undead dare to go. If there are undead in the resident, they will definitely be killed by so many players in seconds!"
I laughed, but the old pastor next to him brightened up and asked, "Can you really provide shelter for these townsfolk?"
Lu Xuehan nodded and said, "Of course, but..."
The old pastor was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "It doesn't matter. Each of these townspeople has mastered certain skills. I believe they will also play their own roles in your residence!"
"Ding~!"
The long-lost task reminder is here!
System prompt: Do you accept the commission of the old pastor
After another "ding", the content of the task came out: Protect the townspeople of Yongye Town to reach your guild's resident safely, and the task reward for every townsman who died is reduced by 5%. When more than half of the total number of townspeople died, If the mission fails, 5000 reputation points will be deducted! The mission time limit is 300 minutes!
Lu Xuehan looked at me in surprise and said, "If the mission fails, 5000 reputation will be deducted! I have never seen such a mission!"
I smiled and said, "Of course, you have killed so many people. It is not bad if you don't deduct your reputation!"
At this time, the old priest urged: "Should we set off now? These dirty ghouls outside the town can't stop us from moving forward."
I looked at the townspeople and inspected the goods first. Their names also showed their profession: "Senior Blacksmith Hans", "Senior Apothecary Difu", "Intermediate Tailor Saru", "Senior Armor Maker" Almost all of them are good supporting NPCs, and their supporting skill levels are not low.
I was overjoyed and said to the little MM next to him: "Xuehan, our guild is now developed! If these NPCs can reach the guild station smoothly, then we can save a lot of money! Just a senior Pharmacists need millions to buy from the system. There are at least five senior pharmacists here!"
Lu Xuehan smiled: "So, our task must be completed!"
I took a look at the mission level, Legendary Rank, and suddenly felt a little confused. It stands to reason that if the reward is so generous, it is enough to be at the Legendary Rank, but along the way, it seems that the only thing that will hinder us is the corpse outside the town. There are ghosts, and to say very bluntly, their power is simply not up to the legendary grade!
Could it be that there will be other obstacles on the road
I don't want to, let's talk about it when I leave!
I opened the little door and said, "I'll clean up these ghouls. After they are completely killed, you will come out again!"
The middle-aged soldier immediately asked in surprise: "Can you resist these sharp-minded ghouls alone?"
"Haha~~" I laughed and didn't answer.
And my appearance is undoubtedly an extra piece of fresh meat for the ghouls outside, so they rushed in, sharp claws and teeth quickly bite up, my orange armor has just been repaired, and it is full of durability. , Don't worry, and although these ghouls' attacks are as high as 2500, they can't really break through my defenses, and the highest attack value is only less than 100 points of damage.
Lu Xuehan also began to release the fire group spell behind me. Although the attack was not as powerful as Xu Lin's, it also burned the ghouls into pain, and the ghouls who wandered in the sea of fire for two minutes would die.
My attack is powerful enough to kill this high-level 100-level ghoul three or five times, and the mystery ice sword that is often exploded is like a war baptism that can wipe out a large number of burned to half-blood ghouls, level 10 The probability of the Xuanbing Sword's activation is greatly improved. The surface data is 27%. After receiving the character bonus, it can reach about 10. Basically, every ten attacks can bring out a Xuanbing Sword. This also allows us to kill. The speed of the blame is greatly increased.
For nearly two hours, the mouth of the middle-aged soldier behind him turned into an O shape. He probably never thought that there would be a human being able to withstand the ghouls without a shield and bite wildly, and it was obvious that in front of him This young adventurer is generally immune to the physical attacks of ghouls, and killing ghouls is also exceptionally clean and tidy.
When the sword of warsong chopped down the last ghoul from top to bottom, I turned around and said, "Okay, everyone can go!"
The mission time is only 300 minutes. If these townspeople cannot be delivered to the Lost Paradise resident within these five hours, we will still get nothing, and the journey from here to the Lost Paradise is almost an hour, which we have just spent. Two hours, which means that if we encounter another enemy on the road, we only have two hours to delay!
The middle-aged soldier carefully stretched out his head and looked at the situation outside. Only then did he fully open the door of the town. Turning around, he said to many townspeople: "The soldiers from Silvermoon City have helped us open the way to the source of life. Everyone hurry up and pack our simple luggage, we are on the road!"
Immediately afterwards, I started to get busy. Almost everyone in the town ran into their dilapidated house, and when they came out, they were carrying objects large and small. When I saw the situation, I became anxious and ran up to grab the blacksmith's hand and asked: " Uncle, can you carry such a big smelting furnace? Lost it, I will let someone build another one for you when I arrive at the station!"
The blacksmith immediately rolled his eyes and said: "This stove is a treasure passed down from generation to generation by my ancestors. This is also a symbol of my iron family. How can you just throw it away?"
Damn, or heirloom
I immediately identified it and found that this stove can indeed increase the equipment-building effect and success rate by 25%. Forget it, just keep it. This thing is a treasure that you can never find. Maybe you will lose the equipment of the Paradise Resident in the future. Building a business will become famous all over the world for this!
There was another old man dragging a pile of planks next to him, and another young man was helping. I hurriedly asked, "Old man, what are you doing with this plank?"
The old man said leisurely: "Young man, you don't understand this. My old man is used to sleeping on this pear blossom wood bed. If I change one, I can't sleep well."
I just think there is a chaos in my mind. The reason why this task is legendary is probably for this reason. The way this group of people drags their families away, let alone two hours, I am afraid that even four hours may not be necessary. Able to rush to the resident of Paradise Lost.
Seeing that I was about to hit the wall, Lu Xuehan couldn't help but smile and said, "Or, let's negotiate with them, can we give up something?"
I nodded and walked over to the old priest and said, "Teacher, you see, if we are not going fast in our current situation, we will be caught up by those pesky ghouls. Everyone has to finish the game. You should help persuade the townspeople. Well, I promise, after arriving at the station, they will be given a brand new living environment, and those tools will be rationed for them as well!"
The old pastor was dubious: "Can you really provide them with everything they need for their work?"
I said, "Of course, how can I make you believe it?"
After thinking about it for a while, the old priest said, "Well, you can give them some gold coins first, so that they will feel at ease and will not carry those extra things."
"Damn, is it settling down?"
Lu Xuehan smiled lightly and said, "Wow, it's actually necessary to pay for the demolition. Do NPCs have to act as top households these years?"
I was a little embarrassed and said, "Um... Xuehan, I have no gold coins recently, do you have any?"
Lu Xuehan blinked and asked with a smile, "How much?"
I looked back and counted the number of NPCs. There were 100 in total, so I said: "Everyone distributes 100 gold coins. In this case, 10,000 are needed. Do you have any?"
Lu Xuehan smiled and said: "I didn't have it, but last time Sister Lin and Xin Yu were leveling with me, all the gold coins they got were given to me. Well, now I have more than 30,000 coins. Give you 20,000!"
I hurriedly said: "Don't, just give me fifteen thousand. You buy the blue medicine yourself and spend money. Besides, there will be gold rewards for completing this task. Then I will have money~"
Lu Xuehan didn't say much, and gave me 15,000 gold coins directly. I walked up to the old priest and said, "Is it all right for each person to distribute 100 gold coins?"
The old priest was pleasantly surprised: "So many? Enough is enough~~"
I just remembered that in the background of this setting, ordinary civilians circulated copper coins or silver coins. As for gold coins, they should be considered high-end goods. 100 gold coins are enough for a civilian family to live for N years!
But since the words are out, it’s not easy to take it back, so the gold coins in my package were quickly deducted by the system more than 10,000. Those townspeople who got the money also only brought simple things that they could carry with them, but the blacksmith Rogue, he still refused to put the furnace down after receiving the money, and finally had to let the middle-aged soldier carry the furnace on his back. He was still young and strong, and he was not too slow to walk with such a thing on his back.
So a group of people filed out from the gate of the town, two players, four combat NPCs, and more than 100 NPC civilians. It was also mighty. There were layers of ghoul corpses on the ground outside the town. , Flesh and blood, and some severed limbs even twitched occasionally, scaring the children among the townspeople to cry.
After passing by the stone guardrail, the broken clothes and the silver armor that had been turned into two halves were scattered all over the place. It was the relic left by the soldier who hung up to protect us. Everyone stopped, and the old priest held the armor in tears. After praying for a few minutes, he told everyone to move on.
Soon afterwards, an open field appeared on the side of the road, where shocking wooden stakes were still erected, and the corpses inserted in the stakes had begun to emit a rancid smell. The old priest frowned and said, "Della's sin is unforgivable, but we can't let his body be exposed to the supposedly holy sunlight like this."
The middle-aged soldier nodded and said, "Teacher, send Della back to the land!"
The old priest nodded and said nothing. After about half a minute, the fireball began to condense in his hand, and the coalescence became larger and larger. Finally, the townspeople who were roasted close must retreat. Seeing that the fireball had taken shape, the old priest groaned. The fireball flew away, hitting the top of the stake with a boom, burning fiercely like a petrol bomb, making a "crack" sound.
In a blink of an eye, half of the stake and the corpse were turned into ashes. When the wind blows, all of them are scattered into powder, falling in the mud of the field, which can be regarded as dust and dirt.
The old pastor prayed silently again before ordering everyone to move on, but I was too anxious. If I delay like this, the day lily will be cold when I arrive at the station.
Seeing my concerns, the old priest smiled slightly and said loudly: "Everyone speed up, and the damn undead don't know when they will come. They are more than just ghouls!"
The middle-aged soldier was surprised: "Teacher, besides ghouls, are there any other species of undead?"
The old priest nodded and said with an awe-inspiring expression: "The ghoul is just the lowest rank in the undead army, just like the skeleton warrior. The erosion power of the undead's will is far more than these. The hidden crypt demons and evil undead wizards, There are also undead banshees with beautiful voices and tight figures. They were once beautiful elves and became servants of the undead. These banshees have even more powerful fascination abilities. Once the human warriors are lost in the tenderness of the banshees, they will Will be occupied and lose everything including body and soul!"
The middle-aged soldier couldn't help talking, "Is the banshee so powerful? I once heard that the Bright Knight of Silvermoon City once killed 4 high-level banshees..."
The old priest couldn't help but smiled: "The light knight is naturally not afraid of the charm of the banshee through the magical blessing of the magister, but we can't. People with less physical resistance may lose their mind when they see the banshee."
I thought to myself, in this way, the banshee should be on the same level as Murong Shanshan and Lu Xuehan, and they belong to the type that makes people unable to walk at a glance. The difference is Murong Shanshan and Lu Xuehan. It relies on a beautiful and charming appearance, and the female demon can only use its chest and buttocks to display its charming charm skills.
The old priest sighed again: "The undead power hidden in the darkness, no one knows how much power they still have not taken out. Their purpose of destroying everything is really terrible!"
Just after he finished speaking, a pathfinder soldier in front of him rushed over and ran over, with a face full of horror, pointing to the forest on the right, panting and saying: "Teacher, there are a large number of undead troops there!"
The old priest was surprised: "Is it a ghoul?"
The soldier shook his head: "It's not a ghoul, it's a creature that crawls slowly on the ground, like a large spider, and there are many dark shadows in the air. My eyesight can’t recognize them, but they move fast. , Will reach us in a few minutes!"
The old priest shook his whole body and looked back at the townspeople behind him. At this time, he was in a dilemma. If he moves forward, he may collide with the undead army. If he retreats, it may be even more miserable. Those flying things in the sky No one knows what it is. But the speed must be very fast, and this group of unarmed townspeople must be wiped out.
Seeing that the pastor, the leader, also hesitated, I couldn't help being a little annoyed. In any case, if I didn't make a decision now, I would just wait and die.
So I immediately drew out the sword of warsong and walked to the front and said: "I'm going to attract the attention of the undead troops. You go around the woods, but pay attention to this woods. There are a large group of iron porcupines living in it!"
The old priest looked at the dense forest next to him, and nodded, and said, "Then be careful, we have passed through the woods and will be waiting for you at the resident!"
After speaking, the old priest organized his hands to quickly cut down the thorns on the roadside, and walked directly through the woods.
I looked forward and said to Lu Xuehan, "Xuehan, you follow the townspeople, and protect their safety along the way. You must not let any NPC hang up!"
Lu Xuehan shook his head and said, "No, I want to follow you, or you will be killed by a ghoul!"
I was speechless but with a touch of relief, so I quickly summoned the red leaves that hadn't been used for a long time. She was dressed in a green priest's robe, and she smiled and said: "Brother, you are finally willing to let the red leaves out to breathe. La!"
I didn't have time to tease her, and directly ordered: "Hongye, you retreat with the townsfolk, and you must ensure safety!"
Hongye looked at the situation, nodded immediately, and quickly followed the old priest.
Looking at Hongye's figure, I couldn't help but play with the taste: "Xuehan, Hongye is more obedient than you!"
Lu Xuehan smiled slightly and said, "Hongye is Hongye, I am me... Ah!"
Suddenly, Lu Xuehan stared behind me and was stunned.
