System prompt: Your team completed the task [Escorting Materials], and you received a reward of 5 million experience points, 20,000 reputation points, 2,000 gold coins, 2 lucky points, and a reward item [Jue Ying Cloak].
An unprecedented sense of happiness arose spontaneously. After so many hardships, I finally completed this difficult team task, but I didn't expect that the task reward would be so generous.
Not only did I gain a lot of experience and reputation points, but I also received a rare lucky point reward of 2 points. My previous lucky points were only 6 points, but this time I gained 2 points at once. In addition, there was also an equipment reward of a cloak. Is this really personally sponsored by Gund, the commander of the Black Cavalry Army? If the NPC is not bragging, doesn't it mean that the personal wealth of the Black Cavalry Commander is already as rich as the country's?
As I received the mission reward, a golden light of upgrade instantly lit up my body with a swipe, and I was directly promoted to level 81 with my mission experience.
At the same time, all five of my friends also lit up with golden upgrade lights at the same time. After receiving the mission rewards, everyone's level was improved.
Then I immediately opened the package to check the equipment attributes of the mission reward.
I saw a pure black cloak lying quietly in the package, occupying one of the spaces, and the surface of the equipment exuded a faint purple-gold luster.
【Jueying Cloak】(Purple Gold-Armor)
Defense:320
Strength:90
Physical strength: 80
Agility:80
Level:80
Additional: Increases the user's dodge rate by 20%.
I was lucky enough to get a piece of purple gold equipment as a reward in the mission. The additional attributes of the equipment increased the dodge rate by 20%.
I immediately replaced the level 50 gold weapon Deep Sea Blue Cloak with the Shadow Cloak. However, the Deep Sea Blue Cloak cannot be thrown away. It can still be used in future PKs if it is slowed down by a mage or archer.
In addition to me, Lin Jingran and Wanxi also received reward equipment. Lin Jingran received a level 80 purple gold necklace, which directly increased the attack power by 230 points, and the last attribute of the equipment also added 15 % increase in attack power, making the beautiful swordsman smile from ear to ear.
Wanxi was also lucky. She got a priest-specific cloth armor hat, which increased the healing output by 10%, which made her healing ability even higher.
Overall, I gained the most from this mission trip. I received the first spiritual weapon in the server, and it was also a breastplate.
After receiving the rewards, everyone did not leave immediately. It took a lot of effort to get here, and they had not yet understood the development of the war in the Black Blood Castle area. How could they leave casually.
The next moment, almost at the same time, we once again turned our attention to Gund, the leader of the Black Cavalry.
"Sir, it is said that the battle to regain the Black Blood Castle is about to begin. As a member of Lingyun City, we are willing to serve the country at this time," I expressed my loyalty to the NPC first.
Several people immediately looked at me sadly; "Damn, you have to finish everything we want to say by yourself."
Then, the five of them said in unison: "We are too,"
Gund was very satisfied with our performance and said happily: "If all the adventurers in the Lingyun Empire are like you, then the time for the empire to successfully pull out the Black Blood Castle is just around the corner,"
"Then don't be polite. If the Black Cavalry is inconvenient to do it, or if there is no manpower available to do it but urgently needs to be done, leave it to us to solve," I said.
Gund heard what I said, so he stopped being polite and said directly: "Right now, I really need to trouble you to do a few things. First of all, we have received news that the Empire of the Undead is likely to attack the underworld in the past few days. Blood Castle has sent reinforcements. Before that, they will first send messengers to bring the news to the leader of Black Blood Castle. Now I need someone to intercept this information."
"I'll go,"
"I'll go,"
"I'll go,"
…
We rushed to sign up.
Gunder stretched out his hand and pointed at me: "The cavalry is fast, so I'll leave this matter to you."
"Ding~,"
System prompts: You accept the mission [Interception of Intelligence] (current mission difficulty is 1300). The mission content is based on the information provided by the Black Cavalry scouts. Set up an ambush in advance at Crow Ridge, a place where the undead messengers must pass, and wait for the target to pass by. Obtain the information he carries. After completing the mission, you will receive generous rewards.
When accepting the task, the system also gave the coordinates of Crow Ridge.
At the same time, I received a mission reminder: It is estimated that there are still 30 minutes until the target reaches Crow Ridge. Please hurry up and go to Crow Ridge to set up an ambush.
Crow Ridge is quite far away from the Black Cavalry camp, but with the speed of the Blue Wolf King, I should be able to arrive early if there are no accidents along the way.
If we can't set up an ambush in Crow Ridge in advance, once the enemy successfully passes through, there will be at least three roads that can lead directly to Black Blood Castle. At that time, if we want to intercept the opponent, I will have to rely on luck alone. .
Without further ado, I immediately left the Black Cavalry camp, activated the coordinates of the Blue Wolf Dynasty mission prompt, and rushed away. As for what kind of mission Lin Juran and the others could receive next, I no longer have time to ask.
The system automatically prompted the estimated arrival time of the target every ten minutes. I rode the Green Wolf King quickly and slowly, and finally arrived at the reservation two minutes earlier than the target, and lurked in a bush.
One minute, two minutes, three minutes... Ten minutes passed, and I finally realized that there must be something wrong with the route provided to me by the NPC. The target did not pass here as scheduled.
nnd I just said how could a mission with a difficulty level of 1300 points be so simple? Go to a place, kill someone, and then get a piece of information and you're done.
The question now is whether the enemy's signal troops did not pass by here. Did they arrive late intentionally because they had a premonition that someone would be ambushing here? Or did they temporarily change their route and go around somewhere else instead of taking the Crow Ridge route? road.
I immediately opened the big map to study it.
After accepting the task of intercepting intelligence, I obtained some map information from the NPC, but this map was limited to the area near Crow Ridge, and the places I could see on the map were still limited.
Judging from the map currently available, Crow Ridge is indeed the only area that must be passed from the undead-controlled area to Black Blood Castle. Of course, this is only for land. If you choose to take the water route, Crow Ridge is about ten minutes away to the north. , there is also a river passing through the mountain, and you can reach Blackblood Castle by taking a boat upstream without passing through Crow Ridge.
Deliberately delaying the time or changing the water route, theoretically both possibilities exist. It seems that I can only gamble on luck. If I call someone to help now, it will definitely be too late, and this task cannot be shared. Even if I can call for help now, if the target is not killed directly by me, the mission items will not explode.
I quickly made a decision: leave Crow Ridge and head toward the waterway to intercept the target.
Quickly urge the Green Wolf King to gallop towards the Weiming River in the north of Crow Ridge. Going upstream by boat will definitely not be as fast as riding a horse. If the other party really takes the waterway, they should not have passed the canyon by now. At this time, go to the river and pass the canyon. Blocking an attack on the river has the highest success rate. Once the opponent crosses the canyon, they can find a place to go ashore at any time. At that time, it will be more difficult to find the target.
In more than ten minutes, I successfully arrived at the bank of the Weiming River, quickly put on my Water God boots and stepped on the river to continue moving forward. In a short time, I arrived at the mouth of the canyon.
Due to the influence of the mountains on both sides, the river makes a turn when it passes through the canyon. Therefore, standing on the river, I cannot see the situation at the entrance to the other side of the canyon. If the other party comes from the other side, they will not be able to see the situation on my side. By the time the other party turns around and spots me, it will be too late to escape.
I just rode my horse and stood quietly on the river, waiting.
More than ten minutes later, a canoe appeared in my field of vision.
The first time I saw the small boat, I confirmed that it was exactly what I was looking for. I couldn't help but feel ecstatic. Lady luck was on my side again.
At the same time, the other party also discovered me, and immediately paddled in the opposite direction in an attempt to escape. He suddenly changed from rowing against the current to rowing with the current. His speed was indeed much faster, but I was faster. The four hooves of the Green Wolf King He quickly made splashes of water on the water, and quickly caught up with him as if he were taking tiny steps on the waves.
After getting closer, I was suddenly surprised to find that my target was not a monster, but a player, the hidden professional undead knight Dark Cuisine.
Dark Cuisine saw me approaching quickly and sighed: "I didn't expect that people would guess that I temporarily changed to the waterway, and I can actually walk on the water. It's just too deceiving."
As he spoke, he decisively threw away the oar in his hand and quickly summoned his mount on the canoe to prepare for the battle.
The next moment, Dark Cuisine successfully summoned his mount before I could reach him, but his mount, Bone Spirit Horse, could not stand firm on the bumpy canoe, and his body kept shaking, almost causing him to fall off the horse. .
Dark Cuisine sighed again and simply canceled the mount state.
Then he looked at me with a slightly provocative look: "Do you dare to go ashore and fight?"
In fact, he didn't know that I also had my worries. Although I could walk freely on the water wearing the Water God's Boots, if during the battle the boat under his feet could not withstand the pressure and broke and sank, the people would sink with it. The water was washed away by the rushing river. Where can I find the quest items?
He proposed a decisive battle on the shore, which played into my heart. He actually has more than 8,100 defense points and more than 27,000 attack power. Why should I be afraid that I can't beat him?
"Why don't you dare?" I asked.
"Well, there is a place to land on the other side of the canyon, and we can have a fair fight there," Dark Cuisine turned around and pointed to the side of the river where the river turned, and said,
