Chapter Nineteen: Saving the Souls of the Dead

On the other side of the dark canyon, there is still a vast gray wilderness, on which countless undead warriors are wandering aimlessly. These undead warriors are holding various rusty weapons in their hands, and there are large remains on the damaged armor.

There were traces of flames burning all over the area, and a face was also burned into a shapeless shape by the flames. The charred face was covered with horrific cracks, and yellow pus leaked from the cracked enemy.

"Ding~!"

System prompt: You found the map [Burning Wasteland].

If nothing else, I should be the first player to have been here, so all the tasks here belong to me, hehe!

I looked around, and my eyes lit up. I saw a small black wooden house at the foot of the mountain on the left. The wooden house must have been a few years old, and there was a lot of green moss growing on the roof and siding.

Taking a closer look, this cabin was even more dilapidated than I thought. The wood at the base of the wall had been soaked by years of rain and had become rotten. There was even a row of gray little mushrooms growing on it. The wooden door was rotten.

Hidden, Jean even suspected that as long as I pushed open the wooden door forcefully, this small wooden house would fall apart in an instant.

"Is anyone there?" I knocked lightly on the door.

After waiting for a long time, no one responded, so I pushed open the wooden door and walked in. Through the light coming from the door, I saw an old monk who looked like a dead tree sitting on the wooden bed opposite. The old monk fiddled with his hands.

There were rosary beads inside, and unknown scriptures were recited, seemingly indifferent to my arrival.

After a long time, the old monk finally slowly opened his eyes. His dry lips moved with difficulty, and he made a rough sound like sawing wood: "After many years, I finally saw a living person again." He glanced at me.

With the emblem of Chaoyang City on his shoulder, he asked: "Are you an adventurer from Chaoyang City?"

"Yes, how can I help you?" I asked in standard character language.

The old monk said slowly: "Countless years ago, there was a great war here. The cruel war buried countless living lives. Countless dead soldiers had no one to collect their bodies, and their corpses were exploded in the wilderness. Because of their excessive resentment, their bodies were buried in the wilderness."

The soul does not want to return to heaven, and over time it has become like this. In order to save the souls of these dead, I have been here chanting sutras day and night for hundreds of years, but I still failed. Brave adventurer, can you promise me one?

ask?"

I was horrified: "You don't want me to inherit your mantle, do you? I don't have the potential in this area."

The old monk waved his hands feebly, "Facts have proven that my method does not work, so now I want to change to another method. As long as their bodies are completely destroyed, their souls will have nowhere to rest, and they will naturally disperse. Take a brave risk

Sir, I leave this matter to you."

"Ding~!"

System prompt: Do you want to accept the mission [Transcending the Dead Souls]?

I wasted so much time here listening to NPCs telling stories, wasn’t it just for a mission? There was no reason not to accept it, so I decisively chose to accept the mission.

"Ding~!"

System prompts: You accept the task [Saving Souls of the Dead] (current task difficulty: 320). Task content: Accept the request of the unknown old monk and save the souls of 500 dead people.

In fact, this task is not difficult, but it requires too many monsters to be killed, making the task a bit cumbersome. However, I originally wanted to kill monsters and level up. Now that I can kill monsters and complete the task at the same time, why not?

[Burning Corpse Soldier] (common monster)

Qi and blood: 1500

Attack:180-200

Defense:95

Level:18

Skills: Heavy hit, corpse explosion



There is cold sweat on my forehead. Am I mistaken? The attack power is 200 and the defense power is 95. Does a level 18 undead monster have such strong attributes? With 200 points of attack power and level 3 suppression, my knight’s body is

I can't bear it anymore. Now I finally understand why a simple monster-killing mission has a difficulty level as high as 320.

Facing the burning corpse soldiers all over the ground, I had no idea what to do for a while, because my current attack power would definitely not break my defense, and one attack from these corpse soldiers would probably be enough to kill half of my health in seconds. Faced with the huge disparity in strength,

The operation is just a cloud.

Suddenly, I remembered that I hadn’t had time to see the equipment exploded by the Valley Giant. I’d better take a look at what good equipment the Valley Giant had given me first. The items exploded by the silver-level boss must not be too bad.

Inside the package, a blue-gray breastplate and a shining ring lay quietly inside, occupying two spaces of the package.

I first took out the blue-grey breastplate. It felt cold when I started it. A trace of mysterious power spread through my palm. My spirit couldn't help but be lifted. After seeing the attributes of the equipment, I couldn't help but gasp.

A breath of cool air.

[Rock Breastplate] (Silver - Armor)

Defense:65

Strength:10

Stamina:9

Level:15



This is the first piece of silver equipment I have obtained in the game. Compared with the Corrupted Breastplate I am wearing now, it is simply rubbish. With the protection provided by this breastplate, I believe that even if these attacks have reached

Even the 200-point Burning Corpse Soldier can't easily break through my defense.

Then, with great excitement, I took out another piece of equipment given by the boss - the shining ring. I reached out and flicked it, and the attributes of the equipment appeared in front of me. I was so happy that I almost fainted. This was really a timely help.

【Bluestone Ring】(Silver)

Attack:15

Strength:10

Stamina:10

Level:15



Probably because at this stage of the game there are very few silver-level bosses that have been successfully defeated by players, the Valley Stone Giant generously gave me two pieces of silverware.

And I never thought before that the first piece of jewelry equipment I got in the game would be a silverware. It is known that jewelry equipment in the game has a lower explosion rate than weapons. This ring is now in the game.

The value in it is almost immeasurable. If it is sold on the market, it will definitely attract the rich second generation in the game to rush to buy it, and finally sell it for a sky-high price.

However, even though I am a player who was born as a migrant worker, I will definitely not do such short-sighted things as selling my best equipment to make money.

When these two pieces of silverware were worn on my body, my attributes immediately changed dramatically. Both my attack power and defense power instantly increased a lot.

id:longhu

Level:15

Title: Apprentice Knight

Qi and blood:1484

Magic value: 414

Attack:131-157

Defense:246

Reputation:105

Lucky value: 0

With my current attributes, I would have no problem dealing with those Burning Corpse Soldiers. I held my spear and quickly locked on the nearest Burning Corpse Soldier and rushed over. As I passed by, I stabbed hard with the spear in my hand.

Stab the monster hard in the chest.

"Qiang!"

With a sound, the monster's rotten breastplate was almost pierced, and a damage figure flew up from the monster's forehead.

"237!"

I’m not dissatisfied with the fact that a knight can hit such a high level of attack even when he’s killing monsters. After all, a knight is not a mage. You should never expect a knight to kill monsters in a profession like the combat dwarf, which has a high attack power. You can kill the monster in just three or two strokes.

After being attacked, the Burning Corpse Soldier let out a sharp howl, and swung its body mechanically to find my position. I was immediately happy when I saw the monster's turning speed. The turning speed of this Burning Corpse Soldier seemed to be faster than that of the Valley. The skeleton swordsman on the other side is even slower. What kind of threat does this pose to a player like me who is known for his quick reaction ability?

I sent out five or six attacks in a row, but only one of the Burning Corpse Soldiers' counterattacks successfully hit me. Under the protection of the rock breastplate, I only lost less than 100 points of health, which I could make up by relying on automatic blood recovery. Even potions are saved.

With a "Puff!" sound, the spear finally penetrated the chest of the first Burning Corpse Soldier. The body of the Burning Corpse Soldier exploded with a "Bang!" sound. I hurriedly crossed the shield to block, but the bones were shattered and the rotten flesh remained. It splashed all over me, and my blood dropped by 312 points. Fortunately, I reacted quickly, otherwise I would have almost been blown into pieces.

Due to the relatively high level, one Burning Corpse Soldier gave me 546 experience points, which was almost double the experience of the previous level 15 skeleton swordsmen. The experience rewards for killing monsters beyond levels are indeed very rich.

The high amount of monster-killing experience coupled with the unknown mission rewards made my enthusiasm for killing monsters unprecedentedly high. I rushed back and forth on the Burning Wasteland with a gun, and the burning corpse soldiers kept self-destructing. It dropped, and my experience bar skyrocketed.

Suddenly, a strange feeling flashed through my heart. This feeling was very uncomfortable. How should I put it? It was like being stared at by a poisonous snake.

I immediately stopped killing monsters and looked around. I found nothing unusual, but my human sixth sense told me that there was at least one pair of thieves' eyes staring at me in the void.

What should I do? How can I induce them to show up?

While I was thinking about it, I walked towards a Burning Corpse Soldier in front of me. When I walked in front of the monster, I already had an idea in my mind.

Next, I continued to concentrate on fighting those Burning Corpse Soldiers. It looked no different from before, and others probably couldn't tell what I had felt.

As another Burning Corpse Soldier exploded, I quickly rushed towards the next Burning Corpse Soldier with my spear in hand, and stabbed him hard in the chest with a shot.

At this moment, a light flashed around me, and another Burning Corpse Soldier spawned, and I suddenly fell into a one-on-two situation.

While I was fighting with the two monsters, I carefully observed everything going on around me. Suddenly, out of the corner of my eye, I saw the withered grass on the ground bending slightly to the rear left. I turned around suddenly and held my head against it. In danger of being attacked by two monsters at the same time, the spear in his hand stabbed into the void ahead like a dragon emerging from the sea.

"Fuck!"

A cry of surprise came from the void, and then a thief was shot in the chest, and his figure appeared from the void, with the prefix of Zhanhuang Palace on his forehead. Almost at the same time, several shallow figures appeared in the withered grass in front of him. 's footprints.

"I deliberately chose this place with lots of grass. I've been waiting for you for a long time." I took a step back and swept my spear across. Several thieves had already accelerated and couldn't stop. They were all hit by the attack and were knocked out of the void by me.
