"Murder? Kill who?"
Carving Dragon didn’t expect this spirit to make such a request, appearing slightly surprised. To be rembered by such an NPC, the person must be extraordinary!
"The woman is in the cave on the mountainside. Rember, I only want the Star Shard!"
The demon spirit didn’t allow others to question it, "Quickly go and return, don’t bother here!"
After saying this, the web was retracted by it.
These ten warrior players found themselves freed so easily, it felt unbelievable. They looked at each other, and upon realizing the truth, they fled back to the camp with a tumble, saving their lives at last.
"Those with flying mounts, step forward!"
Carving Dragon obtained a task clue and couldn’t possibly give up. He had already made up his mind; no matter how powerful the woman was, he would find a way to kill her and obtain the task item, Star Shard. Only then could he acquire the clues to the three task chests!
Soon, more than seventy people appeared before him, all possessing flying mounts, awaiting Carving Dragon’s orders.
"I’ll give you an arduous task: bring the woman from the cave here. Others, hide yourselves, prepare for battle. When the target appears, strike as a group, aim for one-hit kill!"
"Yes!"
These seventy-plus people mounted their flying steeds, rose into the air, and flew towards the cave.
For them, it was rely a task to lure, hardly any danger involved, as long as they didn’t have to fight the boss to the death, there wasn’t much to worry about.
With the support of flying mounts, they quickly reached the edge of the cave. Unfortunately, the entrance was only man-high, preventing the mounts from flying in. They could only retract them and enter the cave alone.
"Strange, why does the cave look like this inside, it feels like it’s been artificially dug?"
"Impossible, this is the seventh level of the tomb; risking everything to get here, who would have the leisure to co and mine?"
"True, miners can’t reach the seventh level of the tomb, I must be overthinking."
These players entered the cave one by one, probing deeper, in hopes of finding the so-called woman.
"Why do I feel so eerie here, like there’s a pair of eyes watching us..."
"Don’t say that, it gives the creeps!"
"It’s normal to feel this way, given it’s a tomb setting, any cave entrance might be a burial site. Frankly, we’re no different from tomb raiders right now."
"Wow, that’s harsh! You gave goosebumps, you’d be great at telling ghost stories... Wait, what’s that sound?"
One player was mid-complaint when unexpectedly hearing sounds ahead, a constant clanging, as if chiseling was being done on his crown. His scalp tingled with cold fear, hesitant to move forward.
"What’s there to fear? It’s just system-added sound effects. This sound, paired with the setting, is ant to scare us. We’ve over seventy people, and a main force below for support — not a chance we’d be scared!"
"Right! I want to see who’s pretending to be a ghost here!"
These players encouraged each other and moved faster, soon covering about thirty ters.
However.
As they stepped forward, they encountered two players face-to-face — one in a black robe wearing a special mask, with a female mage behind. Both parties were taken aback upon eting.
"Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained? Why are you here?"
"Damn, bumping into you here?"
These players were surprised, cautiously watching Su Ran. They didn’t want conflict with this person, mainly because they couldn’t win against him.
"What, do I know you?"
Su Ran summoned ten shield warrior skeletons, blocking between him and the players, ready in case of conflict.
"Overturning Water Bro, don’t be rash. We’re from Close to the Horizon Guild, not here because of you, but to find a female NPC. As you arrived earlier, do you know where she is?"
Seeing Su Ran intended to fight for real, they panicked. Though they had over seventy people, they couldn’t gather and had to file single behind in the narrow setting, equating to a duel with Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained. With their combined skills, they were not necessarily his match, let alone in a duel. Wisely, they chose not to provoke him and disclosed their mission.
"Female NPC? What do you want her for?"
Su Ran noticed these players had no intentions to fight him and relaxed sowhat, feeling curious, "Explain clearly, I might actually help you."
"Sigh, don’t ntion, we just t a psycho who trapped my teammates in webs, forcing us to co here to find a woman, and kill her to drop so stone, uh, what’s that stone called?"
The speaker was too agitated, forgetting the stone’s na, hastily asked his teammate.
"Star Shard!"
"Oh right, Star Shard. Overturning Water Bro, if you’ve seen this female NPC, please let us know, your brothers would greatly appreciate it!"
"..."
Su Ran’s face darkened hearing the na Star Shard, luckily masked, it didn’t show. He calmly said, "Deep in the cave, there’s a haired woman ghost. No idea if she’s the one you’re looking for."
"Woman ghost? Must be! As long as it’s a female NPC, then it’s right!"
