Abnormal paradise

According to the normal process, the first level of hidden missions can be triggered in hard mode, while the second level requires going to nightmare or hell mode, which is higher than nightmare.

Therefore, from the perspective of increasing difficulty, the difficulty of completing [Soul Corpse] is higher than that of [Monkey and Ring], but the difficulty of completing it is not equal to the difficulty of combat, because according to the introduction of the genie Jeffries, the difficulty of this mission is mainly It's about how to get rid of the deputy chief so that he can get the chance to sneak into his secret mansion.

According to the same normal process, Ember can start from two aspects.

The first is to directly gain the favorability of the deputy clan leader through a series of tasks or gift items, making the other party paralyzed and careless.

The second is to use external force to force the deputy patriarch to stay away from the secret mansion. Where does this external force come from? The answer is very simple. The family member of the female victim in the tragic incident is the giant scorpion patriarch, who is the deputy patriarch’s immediate boss. With Ah Da's guidance, Yi Yan could even skip a few introductory tasks to gain trust, which made him sigh with emotion. A successful hidden task brought him countless advantages.

If there are others who are tackling the same task, then Yan Yan believes that he, who started late, can directly bring both parties back to the same starting line through a trip to hell, or leave the other party far away, and then complete the final step in the next gold rush in hell. sprint.

"The repetitive nature of Gold Rush Town can completely allow one advantage to breed more advantages, and eventually form a snowball of advantages that gets bigger and bigger, making every hidden task extremely convenient. And I was at least in Aladdin's task , accumulated enough relationship advantages to form a snowball, and even found out the complete strategy process from the djinn. If this is not enough to get the task done first, it is neither right nor reasonable. "

Sitting on the giant scorpion mount, Yi Yan secretly thought about it. Among the several hidden tasks he had received or knew about, only the monkey task was the most likely to be completed in a short period of time, so he attached great importance to it. If he could complete two hidden tasks by himself, The mission, just the additional opportunity to pray, is enough to reduce Ember's chance of overturning, not to mention the fairy tale props with extraordinary effects.

"Youdao is one who makes great efforts and then fails three times. I don't want to fall over and over again at the critical moment."

Thinking of this, Yi Yan asked Ada: "Can you introduce me to the deputy leader of the giant scorpion? He must be an unusual person who can master the time and space ring and find the canyon treasure."

"You are right, Lord Ember."

Ada's face was as heavy as water, but his thoughts were far heavier than his face: "Every deputy chief of our giant scorpion tribe is actually an ordinary person, because there is only one condition for being able to take up this position, and that is to become the three-insect shaman." Confidant!"

"oh?"

"What you don't know is that the Three Insect Shaman has always been suspicious of the Clan Chief and the Wolf Spider Clan Chief who are in charge of the two major tribes respectively. She doesn't want the Giant Scorpion Tribe far outside the forest to show any signs of losing control. She specially cultivated an informant to monitor the tribe’s dynamics for her, and sometimes even the patriarch’s orders need to be issued with his approval.”

Ah Da's explanation reminded Yi Yan of the Wolf Spider Clan Leader who showed his powerlessness in every aspect: "Then, the way the Three Insect Shamans control the Wolf Spider Tribe is to suppress the normal factions of the Clan Chief's lineage and win over those who oppose them. A deformed faction? Or in other words, the Three Insect Shamans intend to retain the leadership position of the Wolf Spider Clan Leader, and also have the purpose of curbing the dominance of the deformed faction?"

"Yes, Lord Yi Yan is really discerning."

It seems that due to being completely shocked by the manifestation of the gods, Ada's attitude towards Ember has changed somewhat, and he has become more respectful: "The same method is actually used in the Giant Scorpion Tribe, because the term of each deputy chief is In ten years, even if the opponent is still young and powerful, he must return to the Sanchong tribe. This means that the Sanchong shaman cannot even trust his confidants, and is afraid that his control will be reduced over time. This rule has been since the establishment of the Sanchong tribe. It has continued and has not changed to this day.”

"According to what you said, every three-insect shaman seems to be very insecure... If she didn't go into battle in person, she wouldn't even be able to directly replace the clan leaders with her confidants. Instead, she could use the antagonistic relationship to control each other. It is a delicate balance, but it has been able to manage micro-control for many years without capsizing. It can be seen that the political attainments of the three insect shamans cannot be underestimated. Of course, the prosperity of the three insect tribe has also prevented the budding rebellion to a certain extent."

In the midst of Ember's reverie, the giant scorpion mount arrived at the luxurious tent belonging to the clan leader alone. Ah Da motioned to Ember to wait a moment and reported the matter to the giant scorpion clan leader alone. When he reappeared, there was no entourage behind him, only There is an extra package in my arms.

“Talking as we walk!”

Ada frowned and was very cautious. After handing the package to Yi Yan, he ordered his mount to move forward without saying a word.

What good thing is this?

Yi Yan opened the package out of curiosity, but found that there was only a hooded robe used to cross the sand sea. He couldn't help but look at Ada, and immediately heard the low explanation hidden in the wind: "The deputy chief is in the tent, for To prevent him from becoming suspicious, I can only use a seemingly legitimate reason to secretly report the matter to the clan leader, and ask him to try to hold off the deputy clan leader as much as possible."

"You mean, it's just the two of us in this operation?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Ember, Ah Da doesn't want you to be put in danger, but after all, this is the only way I can think of. Deputy Chief Gain's eyes are all over the tribe, and he is also a powerful witchcraft user. No matter what, It is impossible to hide it from him, even if you and I have tried our best to conceal the true purpose. So I think that instead of letting the patriarch overturn the table and let the whole situation get completely out of control, it is better to quietly drag the deputy patriarch, and the patriarch That’s what it means.”

Regarding Ah Da's explanation, Yi Yan actually had no objection, because he never expected the difficulty of the battle to be reduced to almost nothing. As for whether Ah Da's "self-assertion" would increase the difficulty, there was nothing to worry about. After all, the secret mansion could be crowned. With the word "secret", there is usually not much defense on the surface.

If you want to ask why Ember is so sure, it is of course because this is what Jeffries, the djinn, told him.

"Sir Ember, according to my estimation, the deputy patriarch will learn about this as soon as we find the secret mansion. The patriarch has promised to hold him back as much as possible, but the safe time left for us will definitely not More than ten minutes, I hope you’re ready for battle.”

[Tip: The second link of the hidden mission, "Soul-Resident Corpse", will be opened directly after you arrive at the secret mansion of the "Giant Scorpion Deputy Chief", and the safety time left for you is only ten minutes. Once the time limit is exceeded, you will be killed at any time. There is a possibility of death. 】

"Well, I understand."

Ember responded, and then waited silently for the giant scorpion mount to speed through the tribal streets until it arrived at an inconspicuous continuous residence. The deputy chief's secret official residence was hidden in it. The reason why this secret could be revealed directly was that Because the genie Jeffries directly sensed the location of Aladdin's soul bond in a similar cheating method, and then sent it to everyone, just like the precise positioning of satellite navigation.

Ada jumped off his mount first, followed closely by Ember. The two of them found a secret mansion disguised as a dilapidated residence in a corner, and then broke in. At the same time, far away in the luxurious white tent, The deputy clan leader felt that the [alarm thread] he had left behind had been destroyed. His expression immediately changed and he planned to bid farewell to the clan leader. However, the clan leader, who had been well prepared, forced him to stay for a reason that he could not refuse. .

"I hope it was just a mistake. At worst, the confidants and various restrictions I left there should be able to hold on for a while."

The deputy chief comforted himself, and immediately listened attentively to the chief, telling him about the [treasure tokens] held by the tribe and more information about the [Canyon Treasure House].

…

[Tip: The countdown is officially on! 】

As soon as the door was opened, Yi Yan received the time reminder and saw the secret confidant in the courtyard, as well as the sharp flying knife thrown by the other party. Perhaps because of the recent glory, the flying knife did not hit Ada, but It was aimed directly at Ember's face.

It has to be said that such a sudden test question is still a bit difficult, but Yu Yan has already prepared cheat sheets during the preparation period. His eyes moved slightly, and he changed his body with ghost steps. The sharp flying knife that was in front of him one moment was in front of him the next moment. After moving behind the embers, people with poor eyesight might think that he suddenly performed some kind of magic trick and switched positions with the deadly weapon. This result obviously caught the deputy chief's secret confidants a little off guard.

Forced charge!

After using Ghost Step to close the distance, Ember took advantage of the situation and launched forced displacement to offset the backswing of Ghost Step. With a rather fierce attitude, he straight up hit the chest of the secret henchman, hitting the opponent upside down and immediately flying out. The back smashed through the wall of the house, leaving a human-shaped hole with blurred edges.

The strength of this confidant seems not to be very good...

There was still no Exploration Skill, so he could only judge it through actual combat situations, but Ah Da's stern expression immediately told him that things were not that simple.

Click, click, click...

Suddenly, a dense sound like an eggshell breaking was heard in the house, and then there was an existence larger than the human-shaped pit, suddenly smashing the entire wall, and appeared in front of the embers.

Um...can I take back what I just said?

Ember raised his head and looked up at the ridiculously tall humanoid monster from a 45-degree angle. The henchman of the three insect shamans in the secret passage would indeed be a bit unreasonable if he did not have the ability to incarnate.

"Our mission is not to fight, I will deal with him!"

Just when Ember was thinking about whether to use his twisted incarnation to fight against the giant scorpion incarnation, Ah Da stepped forward decisively, so that he would not have to fight against the powerful existence that seemed to be a three-star legend. Ah Da, who must be a three-star legend in strength, had actually proven it on the Breaking Wave. Knowing his own strength, Yi Yan confidently handed over the combat mission to the opponent, and he jumped up, avoiding the giant claws of the incarnation that looked like a millstone, and broke into a messy house.

Ahem!

The collapse of the wall stirred up billowing smoke and dust. Ember coughed, and then took out the space-time ring and waved it around. When he saw a reaction at a certain moment, he walked quickly in the direction of the induction. After doing this three times, he successfully found the entrance to the tunnel.

This is the method told to him by the genie Jeffries. The principle also uses Aladdin's soul induction, and there is no need to activate the mechanism when entering the tunnel, because a power level of more than 20 points plus a strengthened punch is simple and effective. The key to breaking through.

boom!

It’s stuck!

The rough fist destroyed the cover, revealing a dark passage that went straight to the ground. Ember sneaked into it without hesitation, and used this to avoid the deadly scorpion sting coming from behind.

The amplification effect of the incarnation ability not only greatly increased the attributes of the secret henchman, but also allowed him to obtain an unconventional fighting method. Even though Ada tried his best to delay, there was still something missing after all. Seeing that the embers escaped safely, he was severely relieved. Take a breath.

"Your Majesty Ember, I hope you can magically save the princess again just like you saved my life!"

With good hopes, Ada continued to concentrate on dealing with the incarnation of the giant scorpion with all his strength, while Ember reached the end of the tunnel after running wildly, but was immediately blocked by an iron gate.

[Tip: Since you do not have the key to the door, and your agility level has not reached fifteen points, you will not be able to enter the "underground secret room" without destroying the iron door. However, please note that destroying the iron door will further alarm the "giant room". "Scorpion Deputy Chief" will not only shorten the safety time to five minutes, but also lead to a larger number of "witchcraft monsters". 】

Opening keys, agility level and violent door breaking are the three ways of crossing given by the system. Judging from the consequences, the last one is undoubtedly the worst.

But Ember has no time to "please" the deputy chief, nor can he produce a lot of attribute points, so he can only adopt the worst way to break the door. The only good thing is that the iron door is not very durable, and Ember's damage is not low.

But the moment he clenched his fist, he suddenly hovered in mid-air, because he used his poor ten-point perception and the light from the epidemic doctor's lantern to discover that the iron door was not completely airtight, and there was a hole left at the bottom. Perhaps it is a square gap used for ventilation, or for feeding and delivering water to the "witchcraft monster".

gap……

According to the ghost step skill description, I can teleport to any position within my field of vision that I am allowed to stand on. I can obviously stand behind the door and it is also within my field of vision. So the question is, can I, a big living person, be able to stand? What about ignoring the iron gate?

Give it a try!

It doesn’t take much time anyway, and it doesn’t cost any money.

Yi Yan squatted down, looked at the gap, and moved with some movement, causing the heavy iron door that blocked his sight to move behind him, and his eyes suddenly became clear. Not only did he not alert the deputy chief to reduce the safety time, he also did not attract those The "never met" witchcraft monster, like a ghost, sneaked into the underground secret room silently.

At the same time, this also made Yi Yan suddenly realize why the ghost step was named ghost...
