Gamers Are Fierce - Chapter 960

[Chapter 959 Rock (4K)]

Almost as soon as the village chief said the last word, a system prompt sounded in the ears of the players.

Prompt that the current mission objective has been updated, from [Find the way to enter the holy mountain] to [kill the monsters, complete the mission of the guardian clan village chief, get the key to the holy mountain], and the

mission time limit has also been changed to 18 hours.

That is to say, the village chief in front of him is indeed the key NPC in the script mission.

The players glanced at each other, Hohenheim coughed lightly, looked at the village chief and asked, “We just wanted to go on a pilgrimage to the holy mountain, and we didn’t expect this to happen again.

Uh… Your Excellency the village chief, the monster is specific . What kind is it? And how did it destroy the gate of the Holy Mountain?”

“Is this…” The

village chief hesitated for a while, then said slowly: “Actually, I don’t know very well, there is no relevant record in the village.

My grandfather’s The villagers of a generation were very secretive about that incident, and never told anyone about it…”

“Wait,”

David couldn’t help but interject, “You just said that the gate of the Holy Mountain was fifty years ago. Was it destroyed by a strange monster?

Could it be that you weren’t there at the time?” The

village chief said as he should: “Of course, I wasn’t even born at that time.”

? ? ?

All the players looked at the village chief with white hair and wrinkled skin, who looked at least in his seventies, and they fell silent for a while.

David opened his mouth and said hesitantly, “I don’t know the village chief… Guigeng this year?”

“According to the season outside, I should be twenty-four years old.” The

village chief sighed and touched his chin. With a white beard, he said leisurely: “Thanks to my usual focus on maintaining health, going to bed early and getting up late, eating small and frequent meals, having a balanced diet, and exercising every day, I can maintain such a good health.”

Paying attention to health care still looks like this… Are you the legendary god-level programmer?

Seemingly noticing the expressions on the faces of other players, the village chief sighed: “Other people of the same age in our village are basically dead, and I am the oldest group in this age group.

Although this is not What a good thing to celebrate…”

David hesitated: “What the hell is going on…” The

village chief sighed again, beckoned, and asked the servant to fill the tea and explain slowly.

Their guardian family has been guarding the holy mountain for countless years, and according to the incomplete genealogy, it has at least a thousand years of history.

Their mission is to guard the holy mountain, receive brave people from all over the world, and release primary trials to screen out some pilgrims who are not strong or have a bad temperament in advance.

This is both to prevent too weak brave people from entering the holy mountain to challenge, resulting in death. The incident cast an ominous shadow on the holy mountain, and it

was also to prevent people with despicable natures from infiltrating the ranks of pilgrims, abusing the blessings of the holy mountain, and causing harm to the outside world.

All the villagers will not step outside the range of the holy mountain. The trials they propose are usually conducted at the foot of the holy mountain, in several dungeons that can change freely.

Those dungeons reset every 24 hours, and they are filled with all kinds of strange monsters, lethal or non-lethal traps. When foreign braves step into them, they either complete the trial and exit,

or die in them, and are affected by the reset effect of the dungeons. Devoured, the villagers of the guardian village will never interfere actively.

There has always been an endless stream of pilgrims from the outside world. Tourists from other worlds who want to go home and brave men who want to fulfill their wishes have embarked on pilgrimages one after another.

Their arrival will inject new vitality into the guardian village, bring external materials, improve the lives of the villagers, and also bring knowledge about the outside world, so that the isolated village can know what is happening in the outside world.

But about a hundred years ago, the number of foreign tourists dropped by the outside world gradually decreased. According to the few words left by the pilgrims,

it seems that several powerful principalities in the outside world broke out for some religious reasons. After a long time-span war, the scale of the war is getting bigger and bigger, and the rest of the countries that were trying to stay out of it in the first place are also involved.

Because the technology trees of the island kingdoms in the scripted world are very different, the war form becomes extremely complex. Assassination infiltration, destruction behind enemy lines, large-scale bombing of airships, spreading poisonous gas in the atmosphere to create poisonous acid rain…

The long war destroyed the original social order, and the number of powerful pilgrims was decreasing.

It seems that they were affected by this. The dungeons at the foot of the holy mountain were gradually abandoned.

Since then, something has gone wrong in the village, and many villagers have suffered from premature aging.

In the generation of the village chief’s grandfather, even the oldest person in the village would have a hard time living past the age of 30.

“For the past dynasties, we have also wanted to find out the cause of this aging disease and solve it once and for all,” the

village chief sighed: “But as the guardians of the holy mountain, we are not allowed to step out of the holy mountain, nor can we act as a guardian of the holy mountain. Pilgrims enter the holy mountain, accept trials, and make wishes…

Ahem, then again, fifty years ago, my father was just born not long ago. He also heard from my grandfather later that there was a powerful stranger. Warcraft, taking advantage of the night to destroy our top-secret Sacred Mountain gate.

You should have seen just now, the optical invisible equipment placed in our village?” The

players nodded, on the way to the village chief’s house, they were in A square, refrigerator-like large-scale optical camouflage equipment was seen in a square. The technical level was in sharp contrast with the surrounding medieval villages.

“Including the optical invisibility device, our village has preserved quite a few equipment and props that were given or abandoned by the heroes of the past. Although most of them are now abandoned, there were still many that could be used fifty years ago. “The

village chief said, “And fifty years ago, our village’s senility was slightly less than it is now. The guards guarding the gate of the holy mountain have the average strength of some brave warriors.”

David and Hohenheim exchanged. Eyes, the guardian family responsible for guarding the holy mountain naturally cannot even have the ability to defend themselves.

Although they are extremely weak now, they have to be vigilant with a pitchfork sword when they encounter outsiders,

but in their blood, There is still a trace of supernatural power hidden in it.

“However, that monster easily broke through our defenses against the gate of the Holy Mountain, brutally killed the guards, violently destroyed and stole a rock on the gate of the Holy Mountain,” the

village chief said slowly: “The rock was stolen. After that, the gate of the holy mountain no longer responds to the key.

Several dungeons affected by the holy mountain are all invalid and no longer have a reset effect.

We do not know whether the aging effect of our village is related to that Rocks are related.

Of course, if the brave men can retrieve the rocks, that would be great.” The

players looked at each other, and the mission goal had already stated that they were to kill the beasts and complete the mission, so naturally it was impossible not to complete it.

Hohenheim nodded and asked, “So where is that beast now?”

“To the northwest, in an underground cave five kilometers away.” The

village chief added: “It should be there.”

Hohenheim frowned slightly, “Should? ”

I don’t know the specifics,” the

village chief said with a wry smile: “In the past, our village could organize patrols and go to various dungeons to inspect and patrol.

But now…you see it too, it’s really helpless.

The reset effect of those dungeons has long disappeared, and they have become dens of monsters, which are too dangerous for us.

The only thing I know is the words left by my grandfather – the ‘giant beast covered in shadows’, after stealing the rock, fled towards the underground cave in the northwest. Li Ang squinted his eyes ,

tapped his palms and fingers on the wooden teacup filled with warm tea.

Several players seemed to be silent, thinking silently, but in fact they have already discussed it in the spiritual link of [Group Connecting Minds]. .Hohenheim

: [The lie detector on my body shows that he did not lie]

David: [But there must be something to hide. For example, when it comes to the cause of aging, his eyes flicker.]

Li Ang: [This should be normal Right. After all, from the monitoring of breath, this guardian group is some kind of dark race. Whether it is longevity or short lifespan, it involves the core secrets of their race. Of course, it is impossible to follow an outsider to tell it. But this script The world is really malicious, to have a dark race as the guardian of the holy mountain…]

Amberley: [Uh… Then what are we going to do now? This village’s defense force is quite empty, although the door There are three guards who think they are very concealed, but we can easily swept this guard force. Why don’t we use Veritaserum or psychic interference type spells to force the village chief to speak extra content?]

Hohenheim: [I personally hold a conservative opinion. These people are the guardians of the holy mountain. A shot at them may trigger some mechanism, such as directly triggering the thunder and lightning in the sky. Moreover, based on the past experience of strategy, we are unlikely to use “deception and concealment” ” method, to get through the test.]

Ding Shinji: 【Get out of the way?】

Hohenheim: [It is to deliberately avoid the strategy route designed by the system, and complete the goal at a minimum according to the text description of the task. For example, our current task is “kill the monsters, complete the guardian’s village chief’s request, and get the key to the holy mountain”, we can go to the dungeon to kill any low-strength monster, and coax or violently threaten the village chief. Commission, get the key. At the literal level, we have completed the mission requirements, but at the actual operational level… some behaviors of stealing chickens and playing tricks may increase the difficulty of the mission. ]

Word games are an important part of the killing game, don’t play if you are upset.

Not only can the system set up word games to harm players, but players can also steal chickens and play slippery through text-level loopholes (sometimes stealing chickens and playing slippery actions are also part of the strategy link),

but now everyone is playing the highest level of players in the first echelon. Difficult scripted tasks, there is no reason to take risks and seek further.

The players quickly negotiated a decision in the spiritual link. Hohenheim stood up first and said to the village chief: “Yes.

As pilgrims, we have no reason to refuse the trial.

But before that, we want to know that The shape of the rock at the gate of the Holy Mountain.” The

village chief said stunned, “Huh?”

“What we have to do is to retrieve the rock that repaired the gate, right?”

Hohenheim said calmly: “Suppose we finally found the ‘full body’. Huge beast shrouded in shadows’ and managed to kill it, but what if it lived in a rubble full of rocks?

It would be easier if we knew the specific features of that sacred rock Now .”

“Oh, that’s right.” The

village chief stood up, walked into the next room, and a moment later brought an old tawny scroll that was at least a few decades old, with a rock painted on it.

The rock was elongated as a whole, pure white, with a complex pattern resembling a cloud in the middle.

The village chief explained: “The rock at the gate of the holy mountain is indestructible, and it emits a faint light in the dark and no light environment. If it is not abandoned in a corner, it will definitely be found.”

Hohenheim observed carefully, He took the scroll from the village chief, “It’s not too late, we’ll set off now.” The

village chief paused as he rubbed his palms back and forth, “So soon?

” ”

Hohenheim smiled and did not explain that the mission time limit for this stage is 18 hours.

It is very likely that the dungeon will have a very wide range, or that the monster is not in the dungeon in the northwest, but in other areas,

Players need to travel farther to track and lock to their location.

“Oh, uh, then I wish all the brave adults a smooth journey.”

There were many pauses in the village chief’s words, his eyes flickered, and he hesitated.

“What’s wrong?”

Li Ang asked: “If you have anything to help, you can say it directly. We are very happy to help.”

“No, it’s nothing.” The

village chief finally swallowed his words, said nothing, and stood at the door. Watch the player walk towards the head of the village.

After the player walked out of the village entrance, the entire village was re-covered by optical camouflage and assimilated into an ordinary rock scene at the foot of the mountain.

“Let’s go. The system has given a time limit of 18 hours this time. If the beast is not found in the dungeon to the northwest, and there is no rock, we have to search again in a large area.”

Hohenheim looked back . The sight of the village, said lightly.

This time, with a clear direction and goal, everyone’s speed suddenly accelerated.

Ding Shinji drove the Kui Niu mecha, activated the pulley mode, and dragged everyone sitting on the sled to the front.

The wind roared along the way, and the others continued to discuss the topic just now in the spiritual link, and in addition to the group mind-linking technique, Li Ang released a spiritual link to connect with Liu Wulan.

Li Ang: [It’s me. I opened a private channel, and no one else could hear the two of us discussing. I noticed just now that after the village chief took out the picture of the rock at the gate of the holy mountain, your spiritual connection fluctuated…]

Liu Wulan interrupted: [I have seen the cloud-like pattern in the middle of that rock. . 】

Li Ang: 【Have you seen it? where? ]

Liu Wulan: [Special Affairs Bureau, Abnormality Society, database. 】
