I continued walking along a path with obvious traces of human activities, and after climbing up a steep slope that blocked my view, a simple and strange-shaped village appeared in front of me.
This is a kind of village that I have never seen before. The height of the houses is generally more than five yards, and they are all built with huge stones that can be seen everywhere in the wild. There seems to be a lack of planning in the arrangement of the villages, and they are completely scattered together. The entire building complex is rough.
, messy, full of post-modernist beauty.
The closer I got, the more frightened I became. Damn it, such a high house, how high would it be if there were people living in it? Could this be a village of giants?? Before I could be surprised for too long, a man walked out of the house at the entrance of the village.
From a distance, I couldn't tell any difference at first glance. He was about the same height as an ordinary person, and his skin seemed to be a little darker. His feet and upper body were naked, and key parts of his lower body were covered by animal skins.
Before I could take a closer look, something strange suddenly happened. From the door of the dark house, an extra-long arm stretched out and pulled back the person who just walked out of the door. This arm looked strong and exaggerated.
It's so thick that it touches my waist.
The horror in my heart couldn't be increased. One of my arms was too big, and my whole body was exposed. What a terrifying figure it must be.
I carefully stared at the house at the end of the village and slowly approached. The people in the room seemed to have disappeared, and there was no sound at all.
"Stranger, what are you doing here??" Just when my nerves were tense, a rough voice suddenly came from the shadows behind the house.
Looking through the sound, a giant with a height of more than four yards was standing there like a hill. This man's muscles were bulging and he was completely naked. Only key positions were covered. His earthy brown body almost blended into the surrounding environment. He was holding a hand.
Holding an oversized stone hammer, he was looking at me warily.
"Um, I'm an adventurer from Lingyun City! I came here accidentally!!" I said while revealing the knighthood medal on my chest.
"It turns out that I am a noble from Lingyun City. Dear Baron, please forgive me for being rude!!" Seeing me revealing my medal, the big guy put away his weapon, and the name above his head changed from hostile pink to pink.
Friendly green.
I guess, I just tried it with the mentality of being a dead horse, but I didn't expect this big man to know the knighthood. Now it will be much easier to handle.
"Why do I feel a little weird when I come here? Is there anything I can do to help you?" I said carefully thinking about the words.
"Something did happen in the village, you come with me!!" said the giant with the green name of Tumre on his head.
I followed the giant into the village. Although the giant seemed to be walking a bit clumsily, he was actually not slow in moving. He could move forward five or six yards with just one step on his two long legs. With my speed, I could barely keep up.
After twisting and turning in the village, Tumre finally stopped in front of a taller house after about ten minutes.
"This is the home of our village chief! Just follow me in!" Tumlei greeted me and went straight into the house.
I followed behind and entered the house. There was a skylight that opened diagonally on the dome of the house. The evening sunlight shone in through the skylight, projecting an orange light beam inside the house. The layout of the house was also very simple. Not far from the door was a
There are two oversized stone chairs, and near the corner is a giant bed, which is made of unknown branches and thatch. On the other side of the room, some roots of yam plants are piled up, and a few yam plants are placed at the head of the bed.
A very crudely shaped earthen jar.
"Adventurers from afar, welcome to the Ancestral Highland!!" An old man with white hair and beard said with good intentions.
"Grandpa, the village chief, the village looks a little weird. Is there anything I can do to help?" I organized my words and asked for some tasks from the village chief first. In such a weird NPC village, the program
The staff members are so smart that they don’t add a few tasks.
"Young man, you better go. Your strength is not even as good as Tumre. The great fortune teller in the tribe has predicted the future of our tribal clan. Unless you are the legendary savior hero, once the Stone of Destiny is engraved,
It’s hard to make changes again!!”
"Strength is not something you show on your face! You have to try it to know whether it works or not!" I argued dejectedly.
"If you leave, the devil's plague will kill you!!"
When I heard this, my mind moved, as if I had grasped some key point.
"Plague? I have a higher resistance to plague than ordinary people!!" After saying that, I revealed my light gray skin and the pointed ears unique to the elves.
"Dark Elf, it turned out to be a Dark Elf!!! We can be saved, our people can be saved!!!" After recognizing that I was a Dark Elf, the old village chief with white hair and beard exclaimed in a panic.
"Can you tell me what happened now?" I said while the iron was hot.
It took more than a minute for the village chief to recover from his gaffe and slowly said: "It's like this. The evil devil sows the seeds, and the plague begins to spread throughout the tribe. It's not just our village, but almost the entire tribe."
All the young people who went out at night fell ill with strange diseases, and some died one after another, but others were unable to do anything. Adventurers from afar, are you willing to help us???"
Ding! Do you want to accept the village chief’s mission [Evil Seed] [Evil Seed]: Help the village chief find the source of the plague in the entire village and find out the real culprit behind the plague.
I guess, it seems that these are not ordinary tasks, the tasks related to various races are the most interesting, so I immediately chose to accept them without saying anything.
Ding! Congratulations on successfully accepting the mission [Evil Seed], the [Glory of Giants] side plot has been successfully activated, and the first ring [Evil Seed] has entered the completion state!!
Hahaha! After reading the system prompts, I couldn't help but laugh three times. This task turned out to be the first link in the side plot. My intuition was so accurate. If I didn't take this task, the side plot would have been missed.
[Evil Seed] mission introduction: When the sun sets and darkness comes, a large number of rot rats will appear in the village. These rot rats carry a deadly plague. All people exposed to the plague will get sick and die.
Mission requirements: Kill all rot rats before dawn.
Mission reward: unknown.
Punishment for mission failure: None. It turns out that the so-called seeds are just rats carrying the plague. After all, it is still a mission to kill monsters, I thought to myself.
"It's getting dark, brave adventurers, be prepared. There is a blacksmith shop and a wandering merchant not far from the door! You can resupply and rest there," the village chief reminded.
"OK!"
...
I checked the durability of the equipment. I didn't kill many monsters on the road, so the durability of the equipment on my body was almost full. As for potions, arrows, etc., the space ring has a lot of them, so it won't be a problem to use them for three to five days.
After waiting for a while, the sun slowly set. After the last ray of light fell from the sky, the whole village fell into darkness.
I summoned Xiao Hei and stood attentively in the open space outside the village chief's house. The giants did not dare to go out after dark, so the next step was to fight alone.
After the day was completely dark, a rustling sound came from outside the village. After a while, there were many black spots in the sight.
The black spots were getting closer and closer, and then I could see the appearance of these mice clearly.
The mouse was only the size of an adult's hand. The entire body was covered with mist-like black air. The fur was peeling off at very low places. There were many dirty rot spots on the wounds, and many of the rot spots were leaking foul-smelling pus.
, looks a bit disgusting.
After brushing, a wild detection was thrown out, and the attributes came out immediately.
[Rotten Rat] Special Mission Monster Level: 80 HP: 50005000 Attack: 2000-2000 Defense: 2000 Skills: [Plague] [Hate Accumulation] [Corpse Explosion] [Plague]: Special passive skills, due to carrying evil seeds, every
Every rotting rat will automatically emit deadly plague. After a living target is infected with the plague, its vitality and health will be reduced by 5 points every second, and the effects will accumulate indefinitely.
[Hate Accumulation]; Passive skill, because it is the creation of the evil devil, the soul of the rotten rat is completely drained. When the life is exhausted and falls, the hatred will not disappear, but will be transferred to the nearest companion.
[Corpse Explosion]: Active skill, triggers corpse explosion after the health points are cleared, causing a fixed 100 points of corpse explosion damage to all creatures in a 2×2 range. Plague will gradually accumulate in the area where the corpse explosion has passed.
Introduction: Special creations of evil spirits carry deadly plagues on their bodies. They appear in groups and cause widespread plagues.
Looking at this attribute alone, it is indeed special. The vitality is not strong, and the attack and defense attributes are not outstanding, but the skills are too extreme. This is not a mouse, it is simply a timed biological bomb carrying deadly bacteria.
I don’t understand the use of the hatred accumulation skill, but I understand clearly the plague and corpse explosion. There is no cumulative upper limit for plague. The effect will be beyond everyone’s imagination if you accumulate too much. Corpse explosion is more direct, with a fixed damage of 100 points.
Although not much can be seen individually, if they form a group, they add up to a killer effect.
Whoosh! A flaming arrow was shot out at random, hitting the target with a pop. A -5000 damage figure jumped out from the head of the unconsciously scurrying mouse, killing it instantly with one hit.
Bang! There was another loud noise, and the empty rat corpse rose up instantly, and then exploded into a ball of black mist. It sounded like a large firecracker was lit.
The sudden sound of corpses exploding made the chatter stop for a moment, and then two rats rushed toward me from a short distance, their eyes were scarlet, and they were already in a fighting state.
Whoosh, two more arrows, and the rat that entered the fighting state from a long distance was also blown up.
Before I could react, the rats not far away ran towards me again, this time there were three.
