Li Ming and Lonely Ruyan stood on a wide downhill slope at the back of the mountain. They looked at the empty hillside in front of them and the valley in front of them in surprise. Where was the figure of the spiritual beast-level BOSS just now?
The BOSS mysteriously disappeared!
"I just rounded the corner and didn't see the BOSS." Li Ming said in surprise.
"No way, such a big BOSS just disappeared out of thin air?" Lonely Ruyan asked in surprise.
"It can't disappear out of thin air. It must be hiding. Let's be careful not to be discovered by it." Li Ming said worriedly.
The high-level spirit beast BOSS is no joke. If it is discovered by it, the speed of the two of them may not be able to escape its pursuit range...
Li Ming's eyes began to roam around, looking for where the BOSS might be hiding.
The valley behind this mountain is a huge canyon between two mountains, leading to a huge basin at the foot of the mountain.
However, no matter how fast the BOSS is, it is impossible for him to disappear from their sight in a flash. Moreover, when Li Ming tracked the BOSS just now, he was only twenty or thirty meters away. It took less than ten seconds for the BOSS to turn around the hillside.
He has already chased after him. In such a short period of time, the BOSS should not be able to run very far.
He carefully examined the surrounding environment. The valley passage that curved downwards outside the ramp was covered with dense trees on both sides. However, the huge body of the hunting giant could not be hidden between these trees, unless there was a cave or something like that.
Hide settings...
"I'll go over and take a look. You can help me keep an eye on it here," Li Ming said.
"Be careful." Lonely Ruyan nodded and stood still, watching Li Ming walk towards the side of the valley...
Arriving at a hillside covered with trees in the valley on the left, there were trees and bushes everywhere. Li Ming walked in and took a closer look. He didn't find any strange terrain. The ground was filled with nothing but soil and rocks.
.
He tried poking at the bushes and the ground with a short stick, but didn't find anything unusual.
This is strange. Without caves, secret passages and other hiding places, where would the BOSS go?
The sudden appearance and sudden disappearance of high-level spiritual beasts must be a special setting of the system...
Li Ming was very curious.
He was right. In fact, in this level 40 wild map, the system does have special settings. If no player enters this map, the hunting giant will always wander back and forth on the hillside, but only one person can see the BOSS.
, it will leave immediately and return to where it belongs.
After a while, it will appear on the hillside again, until players can discover the clues hidden on it...
This time, the first players to encounter the hunting giant were Li Ming and Lonely Ruyan.
According to the system settings, the BOSS has disappeared again along its route, leaving only a mystery for the two of them to solve.
Walking out of the woods on the hillside, Li Ming was now filled with questions. He had no idea what had happened and why the BOSS suddenly disappeared...
"Brother Ming, didn't you find anything?" Lonely Ruyan asked curiously.
"The terrain on the hillside is very ordinary, there is nothing unusual..." Li Ming frowned and looked back at the hillside just now.
There are no forks in this valley. There is a hillside on the left and a straight steep cliff on the right, which is connected to the basin cliff in front.
"Let's go. Since we can't find the BOSS, let's find the mission location first." Li Ming said speechlessly.
"Okay." Lonely Ruyan didn't find anything, so she had to follow him and turn around and leave the valley.
The two of them don't have much online time left, so they can only focus on the mission now. As for the mysterious situation here, we can only wait until there is time to talk about it later.
They returned the same way, bypassed the slope, and went all the way up to the first level of the hillside again. They continued to climb along the passage to the top of the mountain. After a while, they saw the first level of the hillside again, which was still densely populated with monsters.
Refresh area.
Now, with only half an hour left online, they continued up the winding mountain path leading to the top of the mountain...
After climbing all the way through high mountains, and spending more than ten minutes, the two of them reached the end of the mountain road and stood on the top of a flat mountain range.
Standing on the top of the mountain, the night view made the two of them instantly light up...
In the middle of a large flat grassland on the top of the mountain, a huge mountaintop lake suddenly appeared in front of them!
The beautiful lake is like a mirror, especially at night, reflecting the crescent moon and stars in the sky. The two of them were completely stunned by the picturesque and dreamy scenery...
"What a beautiful lake, so many stars can be reflected..." Lonely Ruyan sighed.
"The scenery is indeed beautiful, but I have also found my mission location." Li Ming said with a smile.
On the far side of the lake, at the foot of the last peak on the top of the mountain, a thatched cottage was built in the bamboo forest at the foot of the mountain, next to the lake.
Looking from a distance, on the edge of the lake next to the thatched cottage, there is a fishing platform extending out of the lake, with a vague figure sitting on it...
"There really is a thatched cottage and a fishing boat. Let's go and have a look." Lonely Ruyan said excitedly.
Such a beautiful map scene, as well as the existence of a mysterious NPC, made the two of them very excited. They quickly rushed along the nearest lake on the right and towards the far shore of the other lake.
The entire mountaintop lake covers a huge area, and it took the two of them several minutes to walk along the lakeside to the thatched cottage at the foot of the opposite mountain.
The system prompt has popped up, and Li Ming only has the last 10 minutes left.
At this time, the real time has also reached around 23:40. Due to dinner tonight, Li Ming didn't get home until after 21:00. When he went online again, it was already past 21:30, so tonight's time is only considered at this time.
Finish.
When we came to the open space between the foot of the mountain and the lakeside, we were surrounded by dense bamboo forests. A fence surrounded the thatched cottage in the bamboo forest. It was indeed a quiet and secluded place.
Li Ming glanced at these thatched cottages, and then looked to the other side, to the fishing platform made of bamboo and wood on the lakeside.
On the edge of the platform, a figure wearing a raincoat and a bamboo hat was sitting there quietly, holding a bamboo pole, as if waiting for the fish to take the bait.
Above the fisherman's head, there is a row of blue names...
[Hermit Diao Weng] Level 45!
…
The blue name means that although this is a wild map, this NPC has no ill intentions towards the players.
There is no sign on the top of the head of the Hermit Diao Weng, which means that he has no tasks for the players, so the players do not need to spend any time on him.
There was not much time now. In order to save the last few minutes, Li Ming hurriedly stepped forward and came behind the fisherman.
His eyes locked on Diao Weng's body, and with a slight tap of his finger, the NPC's interactive interface immediately popped up in front of his eyes...
