The pile of dry wood in the fireplace collapsed under the fierce fire, making a crackling sound, and the scorching light of the fire warmed the room.
An old man with a red nose and white hair played the accordion on the table and danced cheerfully. From time to time, his short body would jump high, and the hard heels of the leather boots on his feet would collide with each other, making a "knock" sound.
Some residents of Snow Mountain Village also sang and danced to the music.
What a happy scene
In such an environment, the slightly serious Chu Tian and his group seemed so abrupt.
Fortunately, this place was only for game NPCs to jump on them, and Chu Tian and the others discussed their own issues. Otherwise, in reality, it would be strange if these carefree villagers didn't kick them out of this tavern on the grounds of ruining the atmosphere.
"Are you telling the truth?"
dark blue nod
"How many more hours?"
Lily looked at the task and said to Chu Tian: "There are still three hours."
"Is it really that difficult?"
Lily's little face was even more bitter: "The time limit for this mission is five hours. Not only did we not get any experience in two hours, but we died many times, which resulted in a loss of more than 30% of yesterday's leveling effort.
It’s all in vain.”
Chutian saw that everyone here was an acquaintance.
Lily flowers, dark blue, I love radish, I am radish, and I have a relationship with Chu Tianqiu, a relatively lively and cheerful evil spirit beauty.
Chu Tian asked me again: "You also died many times?"
I am a carrot. Wang Chutian seemed to immediately hide behind his wife. Chutian was so angry that he wanted to kick him. He suspected that the macho man he saw on the city wall that day and this guy were really the same person. I am a carrot and saw that Chu Tian had already hidden his body.
He could see most of the sky and whispered: "We have just arrived too."
His wife, I Love Carrot, said loudly: "I've been here for a while, and dying just before you guys arrived is really not an ordinary trouble."
Seeing that I love radish, even Chu Tian, who knows that she and I are both capable of radish, is a little serious.
Focusing on the mission introduction sent by Dark Blue
Save Snow Mountain Village: Recently, due to the nuisance of wolves, the only supply line to the outside world has been cut off. Snow Mountain Village, a carefree hunting village, is finally going to fall into a food crisis. I ask you to quickly deal with these disturbing wolves and save them.
The mission difficulty of rescuing this snow mountain village is 5 stars, and the reward is a lot of experience, a small amount of gold coins, and mysterious random items.
"Where did you pick them up?"
Dark Blue volunteered and stood up: "Brother Cat, I will take you there."
The others were still staying in the tavern. Chutian walked out of the warm wooden house under the leadership of Dark Blue, walking on the white snow with one foot deep and one foot shallow, making a crunching sound.
Soon the two stopped in front of another slightly smaller wooden house.
Deep Blue was about to take Chu Tian in, but Chu Tian stopped and said: "There are only two of us now. You can always tell me why you came to this place to play. Not to mention getting lost, this place is two miles away from Black Mist City.
Three days away, no one is strong enough to get lost in such a remote and remote place, let alone suddenly want to run here and play in the snow. I have never seen such a boring person in the game."
Dark Blue opened his mouth and said with a grimace: "Brother Cat, you should give me a reason. I can't make it up even if you hurt me like this."
Chu Tian crossed his arms and pouted: "Then it's fine if you tell the truth."
"Um, um..." Unexpectedly, Dark Blue, who is usually fearless, felt coy, "Is it okay if I don't tell you?"
"It's okay if you don't say it." Chu Tian behaved quite magnanimously, and Dark Blue's expression was overjoyed. However, the next words he said immediately made Dark Blue's face bitterer than the bitter gourd, "I'll go back to the tavern and talk to Wild Cat about us right away."
I’m back, I have something urgent to do.”
Dark Blue immediately rushed over to plead: "Dear black cat brother, you can't do this. Anyway, you are here, so just help us."
Chu Tian was so free that he waited for his answer with a smile.
Deep Blue knew from the look on his face that it was impossible not to tell him. After a long while, he said: "It has something to do with lilies."
"Oh?" a long drawl
"The Lily life skill requires ice crystal grass, and there is nothing for sale anywhere, so I came here to try my luck, but I failed the mission and..."
"and?"
"And it seems that the ice crystal grass that Lily wants is in the wolf's den."
"That's it." Chu Tian finally understood.
Deep Blue breathed a sigh of relief, but Chutian suddenly said: "Do you like lilies?!"
Deep Blue was indeed fooled. He nodded shyly and immediately shook his head quickly. Thanks to his quick reaction, Chu Tian still noticed it.
But... something is wrong. It's understandable that Lily and Dark Blue are here. I Love Carrots and I Am Carrots were probably invited. It's also understandable why Ecstasy and Bones are here. With her strength, she can't seem to be able to help.
What are you busy with?
"How come Ecstasy and Bones are here? No way you and she are also having an affair and are pursuing you, so come with me."
Chu Tian couldn't figure it out no matter what.
Hearing Chu Tian's question, Deep Blue cried without tears, and sobbed: "Why am I having an affair with her? She is...she is Lily's gay friend."
"gay friend?!"
Chutian felt a chill
Is there finally something wrong with the gender system in the hero world? Lily and Ecstasy are actually men?!
"She is my rival in love now, but I will not admit defeat. Don't think that she is a woman, and I will lose to her. I want to save Lily from her..."
"Stop! Stop!" Chu Tian heard something was wrong, "You said Ecstasy and Bones are a woman?"
dark blue nod
Chu Tian said angrily: "Then what kind of gay friends are they?"
"Isn't love between a girl and a girl a gay relationship?" Dark Blue obviously doesn't know the meaning of gay friends, thinking that anyone who engages in that relationship, regardless of gender, is called a gay friend.
"Forget it, it's almost the same anyway." Chu Tian felt a headache
What kind of messy love triangle is this? A man and a woman fighting over a woman?
Chutian's reason told him that it would be better not to get too involved in this harmonious relationship, even if these three people were all members of his war group.
Putting aside Yurika's fujoshi attributes, she is indeed a good girl... How can I put it, I still hope that the dark blue lover will eventually get married.
Putting his eyes back in front of him, Chu Tian pointed at the small wooden house: "The person who sent the mission is inside?"
Seeing that Chu Tian took a neutral attitude towards their affairs, Dark Blue was very satisfied, and said in a bit of a bad way: "It's in this, Brother Cat."
Chu Tian didn't bother to care about his attitude and just opened the door and walked in.
I found the layout inside to be quite simple.
A bonfire was lit in the center of the room, and a pot of soup was hanging above the bonfire. At the end of the room was a somewhat old wooden bed. The white linen sheets on the wooden bed were messy, and there was also a corner hanging from the edge of the bed to the ground at the head of the bed.
A small handmade wooden cabinet with three drawers. There are some scattered knick-knacks on top of the wooden cabinet and a copper oil lamp with a smoked black lampshade.
There are some hunting bows, arrows, ropes and other tools hanging on the wall on the left side of the entrance, proving that the owner of this house is a hunter. Below these tools is a display cabinet with three compartments. There are some used bones and teeth in the cabinet.
original handicrafts
An old man in his fifties, wearing a brown fur hat and a withered straw raincoat, was sitting cross-legged by the campfire. He was holding a sheepskin scroll used to record events and was reading it carefully with the yellow light of the campfire.
He asked and looked at Dark Blue beside him. Dark Blue pointed at the old man and nodded to indicate that it was him.
Chu Tian walked over to talk to the old man. As expected, he also received the same mission as Deep Blue and the others. At the same time, he also knew that the old man was the head of this snow mountain village, named Mozart.
Just looking at the introduction of the mission itself, Chu Tian didn’t feel anything strange.
Killing target monsters and getting rewards is a very common mission mode.
But after listening to Lily's introduction to the situation, I felt... it was a bit too difficult and not at all as difficult as a five-star mission should be.
They encountered two situations at that time
One is that the wolves will recruit endlessly. It is difficult to kill one, and if new ones are recruited, they will mainly die under the vast sea of wolves.
The other one is too simple
Is it a bit of a conflict to say it was too difficult before and now it is too easy?
In fact, it is not difficult to understand that what Chu Tian said simply refers to those snow direwolves who said in dark blue: It feels like they died after just a few hits.
What Chu Tian thought about such a situation was not that he should get more people to forcefully kill them faster than they could refresh, but that this situation seemed to hinder them from passing.
In other words, it means that they have some other important conditions that have not been completed, so that the road blocked by the wolves is not allowed to be opened. If they fight it forcefully, it will only be a fatal result.
Thinking of this, Chutian planned to give it a try
But before that, Chu Tian still has to take Deep Blue back to the tavern to tell them this speculation and listen to their opinions and opinions. One person's wisdom can never be as good as a group of people's divergent discussions.
It is easy to unintentionally bring up some situations that individuals have not noticed.
Naturally, that kind of nonsense does not count.
In fact, Chutian vaguely felt this way after reading the mission introduction.
Logically speaking, there is one question that is very critical to this task...
Why do wolves close roads?
If it's for food, what they want to do is to attack the village, not to block the road. Looking at the map, it's not difficult to see that the road is just a canyon mountain road, without even a hole. If it is realistic, they can be said to eat and sleep in the open air every day.
I don’t even want a warm and cozy nest.
Unless there is any special reason for this kind of place, they will never do anything like closing roads that completely harms others and does not benefit themselves.
Chu Tian felt more and more that solving this puzzle was the key to completing this task.
