Volume 1 The Rule of Nothing Chapter 071 Stone Man Village
No matter how beautiful the scenery is, you will get bored no matter how much you look at it. Besides, there are still missions ahead of you. If he hadn’t wanted to see what the mission he received for the first time was and what benefits it could bring, Wu Qi would have forcibly returned to Chinatown long ago.
, this valley does not seem to be connected to the outside. If you really want to leave, I am afraid that the only way is to spend money to buy a road. Meteor finally stopped in front of a hill.
Wu Qi took a look and saw that the hill was in the shape of a cone, about 200 meters high. There were almost no green plants in the area. The mountain was bare and looked like a volcano. Could the mission have anything to do with the volcano? Suddenly he felt
The ground trembled, and the small volcano emitted a puff of thick smoke, and a burst of dust fell. "Run, the volcano is about to erupt." Wu Qi's face changed slightly, but Meteor still resented himself and wanted to bring him here.
He was about to die. Unexpectedly, Meteor stood motionless on all fours, his fiery red head shook, and he snorted several times.
"Meteor said that the mission is to stop the eruption of the volcano and save Wanma Valley!" Just as Wu Qi dismounted and was about to run away, Maomao came up and spoke.
"No, I don't have the ability to stop the volcano from erupting. It's okay if I don't do this task." Wu Qi was not surprised that Maomao could know the meaning of the meteor. He took a few breaths while looking at the volcano. There was a faint flash of fire on the top of the mountain. If he didn't run away, he would wait for it to happen.
If it breaks out, it's really too late. As for the rewards after completing the mission, forget it. I just don't know if there is any punishment for failing the mission?
"Meteor said that it's not time for the volcano to erupt yet. It's just the regular activity time of the volcano every day." Maomao faithfully acted as a translator. After hearing this, Wu Qi felt slightly at ease. He was still a little worried, could it really be true?
To stop the volcano? I don’t have a clue. Although this is an era of magic, my abilities are still far from the point where I can move mountains and reclaim seas. I’m afraid I won’t be able to do it.
After dusk, it got dark very quickly in the valley. The surrounding area gradually dimmed. I could only see the occasional firelight on the top of the mountain, and I seemed to be able to feel the slight trembling of the ground. Meteor stepped lightly on the spot, snorted a few times, and hissed again.
The ground screamed. Maomao's light swayed, and he acted as a light bulb. He also worked part-time as a senior translator: "Meteor said that there are lava rocks inside the volcano. If they are eliminated, the volcanic eruption can be stopped."
"...Okay!" Wu Qi turned his head and thought for a moment. If the tasks given by the system are not completed, it may affect his practice. Even if he wants to know what negative consequences there will be, it is better not to make fun of himself. I heard that it is not possible to fight "nature" with human power.
" After resisting, he finally accepted the task hesitantly. Upon hearing Wu Qi's words, Meteor neighed happily and strode towards the other side of the volcano. Wu Qi took Maomao and hurried to follow. Meteor seemed to be a good guy.
He has a deep love for his homeland, and even though he has been conquered, he is still worried about the safety of Wanma Valley.
It turns out that there is a cave on the volcano, which leads directly to the interior of the volcano. Wu Qi walked slowly along the dark cave tunnel with his waist down. Although there was light, he could only vaguely see the place one or two meters in front. As for the meteor
He was too big to get in, so he had to take back his official uniform. The tunnel was winding and slowly lowering the slope, and the heat got higher and higher as it went down, until I saw a faint flash of fire at the entrance of the cave in front, and a heat wave hit my face. But along the way, unexpectedly
It was uneventful, except for the occasional shaking and falling of some gravel, and no enemy attacks.
Wu Qi heard heavy footsteps outside the tunnel and the sound of whistling wind. It seemed that the monster was inside. He carefully looked out at the entrance of the tunnel. Sure enough, he was inside the volcano. The entire cave was lit red by the fire, and an extremely
In the middle of the empty platform, there was a large pit with direct fire, and the flames suddenly became stronger and weaker, leading straight to the top of the mountain. Around the large pit were dozens of monsters covered in flames, probably lava rock men, each occupying a stone platform and working hard on something.
, and would throw things into the pit from time to time. If the throw reached a certain level, the flames in the pit would inevitably surge, and the tunnel would also vibrate. The flames in front of the eyes were swaying, and some lava stone figures were coming with dull footsteps.
It seemed as if he was carrying something like a stone and placing it on the stone platform.
Wu Qi took a glance and immediately moved back a few steps quietly to avoid being discovered by such a large number of busy lava stone people. Why does it look more and more like a handicraft workshop? Is this how volcanic eruptions work? Wu Qi turned his thoughts,
I don't know how much the lava man's ability is worth. Even if he is on the same level as himself, he probably has no chance of winning against so many monsters. It seems that he needs to plan carefully.
By the way, Maomao's "Polar Storm" should be able to be used, and the cold and heat can counteract each other. But it won't work. It will be dangerous if it is counterattacked. Is it really necessary to attack by force? No, how can you make fun of your own life?
You can do whatever you want. And even though I have recently learned the escape skill of "chasing the stars and chasing the moon", if you are on the plains, you can still run away if you can't fight. The problem is that this is a tunnel, so you can't run away.
Alas, what should I do? It was the first time that Wu Qi was so troubled. He reached out and touched his head. Suddenly, there was a vibration in the tunnel. He lost his grip, and his body slipped and rolled out of the tunnel with a huff. The lava rocks all came together.
He turned around and stared at the intruder, unable to see clearly the expression on his face hidden in the flames.
There was no need to scratch his head, but the hatred in Wu Qi's heart, since it had fallen off, he had no choice but to pat his clothes and stand up, waved to the stone people standing there, squeezed out a smile and said: "
Hi~". By the way, I checked their ability value. Fortunately, it was only 2500. I felt a little relieved. According to my current ability value, it is not very dangerous. Looking around, I saw that the cave is really big, and I came out of the small tunnel.
Diagonally opposite, there was a large tunnel with flashing fire that led to who knows where. There were also several lava stone men holding flaming stone-like objects and looking at themselves blankly.
Wu Qi had already taken out the mayor's order and started running the second level of the Majesty Mental Technique. The blue light covering his body seemed to be slightly darker than the first level. Maomao also took a fighting stance, ready to face this event of about a hundred people.
The lava stone man then attacked like a storm. Who knew what surprised Wu Qi next was that there were several grunting sounds coming from the lava stone man, and suddenly fire shadows flashed around him, and some lava stone men were seen holding their hands.
As soon as the thing fell, they turned around and ran into the big tunnel. Some of them held their heads in their hands and looked panicked, waving their flaming arms and running around like headless flies. In short, it was like seeing monsters everywhere.
Just run away in embarrassment...
Wu Qi stared blankly at the farce. He had never seen a monster that didn't attack the player. Besides, was he really that ugly? The mayor's order in his hand slipped and fell to the ground with a clang. Only then did he become distracted.
As soon as I put it away, I hurriedly picked it up. A strange feeling came to my mind. I couldn't help but laugh or cry. The system actually has such a setting? But it's okay. If so, then this task will probably be easily completed. I guess no other players will do it.
I encountered something even more ridiculous than what I experienced today.
By the way, Wu Qi suddenly remembered the meteor. Judging from the names of these lava rocks that it just said, he should have some understanding of the situation here, so he hurriedly summoned it. As soon as the meteor appeared, it was smoked by the scorching wave of fire, and he immediately felt a little uneasy.
He kept leaning against the cave wall and after neighing a few times, Maomao quickly explained: "Meteor said it only knew that the volcano was related to the lava man, but it didn't know why the lava man was so afraid of life. As for the mission, it has not been completed yet.
...Also, it is afraid of heat, please master, please take it back immediately." Wu Qi had no choice but to take the meteor back again. At this time, in the cave, no one was left with lava rocks, except for the big pit, which also made a whirring sound.
Despite the flames, it seemed extremely quiet.
Afraid of life? Hehe~, Wu Qi laughed evilly a few times, and immediately became more courageous. He looked around carefully, and it seemed that he could only go to the large tunnel that the stonemen swarmed in just now. The large tunnel was three people high, and the walls were
The rock was fiery red, with a faint hint of heat. Wu Qi strode forward. Anyway, his mission was to stop the volcanic eruption. Looking at the situation, he wanted to find and stop these lava rock men from continuing to throw those messy things.
The large tunnel is not very long. Because Wu Qi was looking for these stone men, he did not use any magic skills. About half an hour later, he saw another empty cave. There was actually a village in the cave, with hundreds of scattered people.
There was a lava hut with several pools scattered around it, but the hot lava was rolling inside. Some lava stone men poked their heads out of the hut and looked at the uninvited guest in fear. When they saw Wu Qi looking over, they immediately became extremely nervous.
He hid back and the stone door slammed shut tightly.
This cave was no less hot than the cave he came from. With the scenes he saw, Wu Qi couldn't help but sweat. The game had actually evolved to this point. Even NPC villages had come out. Looking at the performance just now,
It's clearly like seeing a monster...
Fortunately, a dozen stone men in the distance were slowly walking toward Wu Qi, surrounded by a man who looked like a leader. He seemed a little scared. Wu Qi couldn't help but say hello with a friendly gesture, and saw the group of stone men.
The flame seemed to tremble, and the walking pace stopped. He was really afraid of strangers.
Wu Qi didn't dare to act rashly, and finally waited until the group of lava stone men slowly approached. Even so, they were still about ten meters away. Looking at this situation, he could only wait for them to speak first, so as not to accidentally scare them all.
He ran away. The stone man who looked like a leader walked over tremblingly, seemingly holding something in his hand.
"Strong warrior, please don't hurt our people." The leader actually spoke, which surprised Wu Qi. It seemed like he could only purr just now. The leader then put his hands in front of Wu Qi and said, "To thank the warrior, we have prepared some gifts.
"Wu Qi felt a wave of heat coming over him. If it weren't for the protection of the blue light shield, his hair would have been burned off. Looking carefully, he saw three bright red gems in the leader's flaming hands.
Wu Qi was overjoyed that it turned out to be a gem, and the color was very different from the one he found. Could it be that gems have different levels? Regardless of whether the stone man thought he was a robber or something, he reached out and grabbed it. Strangely enough, besides entering the stone
Apart from the slight scorching heat from human flames, these three gems were not hot at all. Wu Qi just felt that he was a little reckless. If the stones were roasted red, his hands would be burnt.
"Thank you, thank you!" When the leader saw Wu Qi taking the stone, naturally when Wu Qi agreed to his suggestion, he hurriedly thanked him, then turned to leave. The stone men in the distance also hugged each other and cheered.
Wu Qi didn't expect that the lava rock man could be so honest and honest. Fortunately, he was not a bad person.
"Let's go slowly. There's one more thing." Wu Qi was almost attracted by the gem, and suddenly remembered that he still had to complete the mission. As soon as he said these words, the leader turned around nervously. He didn't know whether he was angry or scared, but there was something on his body.
The flames started to rise, and Wu Qi couldn't help but take a step back when he saw this. "What are you doing in the cave over there? Do you want to make the volcano erupt?" Wu Qi laughed dumbly, why did he suddenly become so bullying and afraid of the strong?
"Ah, that furnace is where we practice making weapons. As long as it is not used for 30 consecutive days, there will be no impact on the outside world." The stone man said respectfully.
"Oh, then you are not allowed to use it for 30 consecutive days." Wu Qi was very interested in the stone man's words. He didn't expect that he had found a tribe of weapon trainers. He didn't know if he could intimidate them into building some equipment for him, but the most important thing was to first
The task was completed. "Yes, yes. As long as the warriors don't bother us anymore, we will definitely not use them for 30 consecutive days, and we are also willing to provide the warriors with the service of making weapons once." There was really no resistance, and the leader hurriedly replied. "Deal.
!" Wu Qi breathed a sigh of relief and touched his forehead, which was covered with sweat and felt a little dry. It was really hot here, but it would be nice to do more missions like this in the future.
.
"Complete the Ten Thousand Horses Valley mission, and you will be rewarded with 100 ability points, 100 reputation points, 3 level 3 fire gems, and a chance to build a weapon for the lava man." The system prompt sounded. Then a white light flashed,
Wu Qi, who was overjoyed, was shocked to find that he had been teleported out, standing under the volcano. At this time, the flames on the top of the small volcano no longer flickered, and the night was quiet around him. Only a few stars hung in the sky. He took out the space bag.
The three gems were shining with fiery red light, and the real feeling of the gems reminded me that this was not a dream.
The small cave that he just entered was still there. Wu Qi regretted that he had completed the mission so early. If he had known that he would be teleported out after the mission was completed, he might as well get more benefits from the stone man first. He would always get three gems. Who knows?
There are so many good things. Wu Qi looked at the small cave and couldn't help but feel a little tempted to go down and threaten them again, but he just promised the stone people not to disturb them. Wouldn't he be a bit mean if he went down again?
Forget it, you have to keep your word. Why pollute your soul for such a small profit? Besides, there are really many rewards for completing the task.
It's just that it's late at night, and there are no monsters in Ten Thousand Horse Valley. It doesn't seem to be a place for leveling. Wu Qi thought for a while and summoned Meteor to ask questions. Anyway, it is a local snake and should know the terrain nearby. Can't understand the language? It doesn't matter, yes.
Maomao is the translator.
Meteor tilted his head as if thinking for a moment and snorted a few times. Maomao cooperated seamlessly and said: "Meteor said,..."
