Chapter 104 Poor old man

If he hadn't known that this was just an NPC, Ye Xiaofei would have been shocked by the way the old man looked up just now.

The face was dry and sallow, the skin folds were shriveled, the lips were chapped and blackened, the eye sockets were sunken, but the eyeballs seemed a little protruding, and the eyes were cloudy and dull... It was like a dead person who had just crawled out of the coffin.

Ye Xiaofei calmed down for a moment, and then said respectfully: "Hello, I am an adventurer passing by here. Elder, do you live here alone? Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Adventurer? Ha...cough..." After hearing Ye Xiaofei's words, the old man couldn't help but raise his head slightly, glanced at Ye Xiaofei again with the corner of his eyes, and then couldn't help but cough slightly. And what he said

That laugh was as dry and harsh as a night owl.

It seems that this old man is probably half-buried and dying.

"Adventurer, this is not the place you should come. As a half-dead old man, I advise you to leave here as soon as possible..." the old man said in a low voice with a dry and hoarse voice.

It sounded like one of those old men telling ghost stories to children.

From the moment he met the old man, Ye Xiaofei had already determined that he should be the target he was looking for. Now that he heard his words, how could Ye Xiaofei really leave just like that?

At that moment, Ye Xiaofei couldn't help but said calmly: "Thank you, elder, for reminding me. Although I am young, I am confident that I have some strength. I am not afraid of ordinary ghosts..."

After a short pause, he continued: "From what the elder said, it seems that there are some terrible monsters and demons nearby? If the elder doesn't mind, maybe I can help you..."

"Hehehehe..." The old man held the doorpost with one hand, bowed his head and let out a harsh and unpleasant laugh.

"Boy, you are quite confident. I just don't know if you have the strength. If you are not strong enough, I'm afraid you will lose your life for this..." the old man said slowly.

Hearing that the NPC old man seemed to be a little relieved, Ye Xiaofei hurriedly struck while the iron was hot: "Elder, please rest assured, maybe compared to the ancestors on the mainland, my current strength is not very discerning, but I am confident

There are not many people of my generation who can beat me... If you have any secrets that are difficult to express, just tell me and I will do my best to help you!"

Hearing this, the old man couldn't help but look up at Ye Xiaofei, then shook his head slightly, sighed softly, and said: "Since you are so confident, there is no harm in talking to you about this matter..."

Hearing the old man relent, Ye Xiaofei couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. This is a hidden mission, and not just any player can receive it. You must pay attention when talking to the old man. Otherwise, I'm afraid you will let your words tell the truth.

, he may not even give this responsibility to you.

"This is what happened..." The old man slowly began to talk, his face seemed to be lost in some kind of reminiscence...

"...In this way, I finally defeated the demon guarding the 'Heart of Life', obtained the 'Heart of Life', and prepared to come back and cure my dear wife 'Mary'. However, when I sacrificed half of my life for

At the price, I integrated the 'Heart of Life' into 'Mary's body, and when I was expecting her to recover from her injuries, I suddenly discovered that the person in front of me was not my wife, but the 'evil' in the 'evil forest'

The banshee pretended to be my wife and deceived me of the 'Heart of Life' and... half of my vitality..."

Having said this, a scowl appeared on the old man's face, and his body was shaking with rage. You can imagine how much anger and resentment towards the evil banshee he was suppressing in his heart at this moment.

"Because the heart of life was deceived by the evil banshee, my wife, my beloved 'Mary', failed to recover in the end. In the end, I could only sacrifice my life again and give my wife's

The soul and the last trace of vitality were sealed, allowing her to completely enter an endless sleep..."

Taking a deep breath, the old man forced himself to calm down the anger and hatred in his heart, and continued: "Young adventurer, are you willing to go to the filthy 'Evil Forest' ahead to find the 'Evil Banshee'?

Get the 'Heart of Life' back for me..."

"If, if you can really get the 'Heart of Life' back for me, then I will give you my most precious treasure..."

Hearing the old man's last words, Ye Xiaofei couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

'Finally I successfully received this mission, phew...'

Listening to the mission information prompted by the system, Ye Xiaofei chose to accept it without hesitation.

"Dear elder, please rest assured, I will definitely find the 'Evil Banshee' and get the 'Heart of Life' back for you..." Ye Xiaofei solemnly said to the old man.

"I hope so..." Obviously the old man didn't think highly of Ye Xiaofei. In his opinion, giving this task to Ye Xiaofei was just a try.

"But I have to remind you that the 'Evil Banshee' has the ability to deceive people into believing they are real. I'm afraid it won't be that easy for you to find her true identity... In addition, the 'Evil Banshee' herself has

The strength is also very powerful. This is a treasure that I treasure. It can have a strong restraint effect on the 'evil banshee', so I will lend it to you to deal with the banshee for the time being..."

As he spoke, a pendant emitting a faint blue light suddenly appeared in the old man's hand.

After receiving the blue pendant from the old NPC, Ye Xiaofei couldn't help but curiously check its properties...

Blue Dream - Quality: None;

Attributes: none;

Additional: Immune to all mental, psychic magic, skills and effects;

Occupation: none;

Level: none;

Note: This equipment is a mission auxiliary item and is only valid when performing the corresponding mission.

After seeing the properties of this pendant, Ye Xiaofei couldn't help but smile bitterly and speechlessly.

However, the properties of this pendant also let Ye Xiaofei know that the 'evil banshee' he was about to face should be a monster that is good at spiritual magic.

In Ye Xiaofei's memory, the player who completed this hidden mission in his 'previous life' only briefly mentioned the mission, but did not tell the specific circumstances of the mission, so Ye Xiaofei did not know what the 'evil banshee' was.

Level, any skills or weaknesses, etc.

I casually equipped this pendant into the 'Accessories Slot'. In addition to equipping a necklace and two rings, each player also has two other accessory slots that can equip some other accessories and equipment.

"Young adventurer, the forest in front is the Evil Forest, the territory of the 'Evil Banshee'. There are many of her minions in it. Although her minions are not very strong, they should not be underestimated, and there are many of them.

.I hope you can find the 'Evil Banshee' and take back the 'Heart of Life' for me..." the old NPC man said slowly.

"Elder, please rest assured, I will do my best to help you regain the 'Heart of Life'!"

After bidding farewell to the old NPC man, Ye Xiaofei looked at the strangely green forest in front of him, took a deep breath, and stepped into it resolutely...

After walking into the forest, Ye Xiaofei seemed to have stepped into another world. He was surrounded by fresh, green and leafy trees. Every branch and leaf of these trees seemed to be crystal clear glass, shining under the bright sunshine.

A faint halo...

Walking cautiously among the woods, Ye Xiaofei was alert to his surroundings and did not dare to relax at all.

There was silence in the woods. Except for the occasional owl or two standing on the tree trunk, Ye Xiaofei did not find any other living creatures.

"This forest is really weird. I don't know where the 'evil banshee' is hiding..."

Ye Xiaofei scanned the surroundings with vigilant eyes and whispered to himself.

Under such a strange atmosphere, Ye Xiaofei gradually became a little depressed.

At this moment, Ye Xiaofei suddenly saw a green grass dotted with many yellow flowers in front of him. A girl who looked about seven or eight years old was playing in the bright sunshine. The grass was surrounded by low white fences.

Fence around...

"Huh? Why did a little girl suddenly appear here?" Seeing the girl, Ye Xiaofei couldn't help but be startled. Then he seemed to have thought of something, and his face became slightly weird: "From what the old npc man said just now, it seems that there is some kind of evil banshee.

'You can change into the appearance of other people, could this little girl be the 'evil banshee'?"

"No matter what, let's go over and take a look first." Ye Xiaofei muttered to himself, and then resolutely walked towards the girl.

Ye Xiaofei slowly approached the green grass and watched the girl holding a snow-white rabbit in her arms with her fleshy little hands under the sun, squeezing the little rabbit lightly from time to time.

The rabbit's long pointed ears rubbed its snow-white fur from time to time, and bursts of laughter came from its mouth...

The yellow wild flowers all around seemed to bloom with the girl's laughter. The scene was like a fairy tale, full of a beautiful and innocent atmosphere.

Looking at the little girl's innocent smile, Ye Xiaofei couldn't help but feel a little ashamed of his previous guess. How could a girl so innocent and lively like a fairy tale be the evil banshee in disguise?

But after all, Ye Xiaofei has experienced countless twists and turns, and in his 'previous life' he was a man who once stood at the top. He has seen countless people of all kinds, and his heart is not as easily influenced by superficial things as some young people.

Confused, so he was still very cautious about the girl, tightened the dark sword in his hand, carefully stepped into the grass, and slowly approached the girl...
