"How can there be anything related to the swordsman in such barren mountains and wild mountains..."
Su Yan walked with difficulty in the dense forest. Even though he had the eyes of the netherworld and could see in the dark, he still couldn't see very far because the dense forest blocked his sight.
Behind him was a staggering skeleton with residual blood, following him step by step. Although there were two figures in the darkness, they looked even more lonely.
The skeleton did not last long. When the control time was over, it turned into a pile of withered bones. However, Su Yan finally found a traced path in the jungle.
What made him even more excited was the faint sound of fighting in the distance.
Su Yan hurried to the place where the fight was taking place. For the sake of safety, he still held an invisibility pill in his hand, but now he only had three pills of this life-saving pill left.
He quickly saw the source of the sound. It was a scholar wearing a long gown and carrying a bookcase. He was holding a lantern in one hand and a wooden stick in the other hand, fighting two evil wolves.
Under his Insight Technique, the scholar had level 30 strength. With the scholar in front attracting the two wolves, Su Yan immediately rushed forward and attacked the wolves from behind.
With the powerful attacks provided by the bronze pipe and the snake-eye ring, it didn't take much time to deal with the two wolves.
"Ning Caichen, thank you for your help." The scholar straightened his sleeves and quickly stepped forward to thank Su Yan, but his eyes fell on the pipe in Su Yan's hand in a strange way.
"Ning Caichen..." Su Yan couldn't help but be stunned, this name was too familiar.
Looking at the attire of an ancient scholar, Su Yan couldn't help but change his expression. Did he not enter the mission space, but traveled to ancient times?
Su Yan quickly reached out and held his game necklace. After looking at the character information that appeared in front of him, his frightened mood calmed down a little. He was still in the death game. The guy named Ning Caichen in front of him should be just a name.
coincidence.
"Su Yan. Brother Ning, do you know someone named Nie Xiaoqian..." Su Yan asked with some apprehension.
"I don't know." Ning Caichen shook his head.
"What about Yan Chixia?"
"I don't know him either. I'm not a local. I'm just passing through this place. I heard that there is an empty temple in front of me, so I want to go and stay overnight."
Temple? Ning Caichen is going to stay in a temple?!
Su Yan's heart began to sink just as he relaxed, and he followed Ning Caichen with a gloomy expression all the way.
Soon he saw a temple that was completely covered by towering trees and vines, with only some eaves and the spire of the pagoda exposed among the leaves.
When the two came to the already mottled mountain gate, even though it was covered with moss, they could still vaguely make out the word "LANRUO".
"This is really a ghost..." Su Yan was shocked, this coincidence was too coincidental.
Except for the murals seen in the corridor outside the underground palace, Su Yan rarely saw anything related to the real world in this game world, but everything he saw in front of him was too similar to the story of A Chinese Ghost Story.
Su Yan anxiously followed Ning Caichen into the Lanruo Temple. It had obviously been abandoned for a long time. Even the main hall had mostly collapsed, and only half of the Buddha statue was left.
He suddenly remembered what Zhong Yilan had said before, that the mysterious divination girl had asked him to pay attention to stories related to swordsmen!
And in the story of A Chinese Ghost Story, there is indeed someone related to the swordsman - Yan Chixia who can fly with a sword!
The divination girl obviously knew something about the advanced missions and even some secrets of the game, so she made herself pay attention to the stories related to the swordsman.
Could it be that the advanced missions in this game are related to the legendary stories in the real world?
"You guys are finally here. I thought you would die on the way." Just when Su Yan was feeling uneasy, a cold voice came.
Su Yan quickly followed the sound, but it turned out to be an extremely beautiful woman in white, like a fairy in a painting, looking at the two of them with an indifferent expression.
Could this be Nie Xiaoqian? Su Yan couldn't help but be shocked. This Nie Xiaoqian was indeed extremely beautiful, but it seemed to be a little wrong with the plot of A Chinese Ghost Story. Did the heroine appear too quickly, and her words were too harsh?
Take the initiative.
"Miss, you..." Ning Caichen was obviously very surprised as he looked at the sudden appearance of this beautiful woman.
"Are you Su Yan? Your level is really shockingly low!" Unexpectedly, the woman completely ignored Ning Caichen next to her and looked directly at Su Yan and asked.
Su Yan was even more shocked when he heard this, and asked with a look of astonishment on his face: "You...how do you know my name?"
"Of course I know. That girl Xue Qing showed me your photos every three days before. This time she kept urging me to rescue you, lest you be killed by the monsters here."
"Xue Qing? You...are you Song Xueyi?!" Su Yan couldn't help but be stunned, and finally guessed the identity of this woman.
"Of course it's me. Who do you think it could be?" Song Xueyi said, still expressionless.
"It scared me to death. I thought you were that Nie Xiaoqian..." Su Yan let out a long sigh of relief.
"Nie Xiaoqian has been killed by me." Song Xueyi's faint words shocked Su Yan.
After a while, Su Yan's face was still full of disbelief, "Did you really kill Nie Xiaoqian?"
"That's right. The dress I'm wearing now came from her body, and its defensive attributes are quite good."
"..."
"You...you killed someone?!" Ning Caichen next to him suddenly screamed.
But what greeted him was Song Xueyi's rapid attack of pink fists.
"No, he is Ning Caichen..." Before Su Yan could finish his words, he saw Ning Caichen's figure flying upside down like a kite.
Song Xueyi is indeed a very talented person in this game. The power of a seemingly ordinary punch is astonishingly powerful.
Seeing Ning Caichen lying on the ground with no idea of his life or death, Su Yan couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. Is this ice-cold woman really a biological sister to the cute and silly Song Xueqing?
"This...isn't this bad? Without Nie Xiaoqian and Ning Caichen, how will we complete the mission?"
His answer was still a cold voice: "The mission I took has nothing to do with them."
Su Yan couldn't help being stunned again and asked: "Then what is the mission you received? Are you going to find Yan Chixia?"
"No, there is no Yan Chixia here!"
"How is that possible? Doesn't it mean that this advanced mission will be related to profession?" Su Yan couldn't help but be surprised. Could it be that he had guessed wrong again?
"The task I received is to become a swordsman in Lanruo Temple. You can also say... I am Yan Chixia here!"
Su Yan couldn't help but was speechless for a while. It was indeed related to the swordsman, but asking a woman to become Yan Chixia was such a cheating task!
"So how are you doing with your training now? Have you become a swordsman?"
"My cultivation has made little progress. The Qiankun Sword Technique I need is now with the Dryad Grandma. I must kill him to get it."
Su Yan couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Then our mission goal is to kill the tree demon grandma?"
"It used to be, but it may have changed now." Song Xueyi's voice was still cold.
"Will the mission objective change?" Su Yan asked in surprise.
"Well, the more people enter this mission space, the more difficult the mission target will become. The current mission target is probably the old Black Mountain monster."
"No, it's not like that. Will the impact of my level coming in be so big?" Su Yan said a little surprised.
"Not only have you come in, but Du Pengfei, the president of the Dark Dynasty and known as the King of Thieves, has also come in, but his position after entering is different from yours."
"Du Pengfei, the King of Thieves...could it be that guy who wants to steal the teleportation orb?" Su Yan's face turned dark.
"Yes, he is already a level 62 player and has already completed the second advancement to become a shadow dancer. His entry at least doubled the difficulty of this mission!" Song Xueyi's eyebrows could not help but frown.
.
Su Yan finally understood why she had been as cold as ice. Anyone who encountered such trouble would probably never be happy again.
It seems that the divination girl was right. This mission is indeed a narrow escape!
"By the way, how come your advanced mission is so similar to the story of A Chinese Ghost Story? Is the advanced mission everyone receives related to these legendary myths and ghost stories?" Su Yan asked curiously, he believed it
Song Xueyi must know more information than herself.
"That's not necessarily true. Everyone encounters different advanced tasks. Some people encounter historical events in the game world itself, but..." Song Xueyi also hesitated a little as she spoke.
"But what?"
Song Xueyi hesitated for a moment before saying: "Based on my recent in-depth understanding of this mission space, as well as the Fifth Legion's detailed statistics and research on many advanced missions, I suspect that the story of A Chinese Ghost Story is not just a story from "Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio"
It’s not a ghost story, but something that really happened.”
"Things that really happened...how is that possible?" Su Yan was stunned again.
"There is nothing impossible. This story probably takes place in this game world. Or it shouldn't be called a story, but should be called history!"
"Then why does it appear in "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" in the real world?" Su Yan asked doubtfully.
"Perhaps a player entered this game world hundreds of years ago, and he saw the whole incident of A Chinese Ghost Story, or he encountered this advanced mission like me, and then returned to the real world.
This experience was written down, but unfortunately it has been regarded as a ghost story by future generations..."
Su Yan couldn't help but be speechless for a moment. Could it be that all the stories in "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" actually happened in this game world?
Or maybe the book "Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio" itself is a guide that records a bunch of game missions?!
