Sorry, I don't play poker on luck

"There is really a mission!"

Such a discovery made Shi Li's eyes brighten.

However, he knew that the real mission hadn't started yet, because the system hadn't popped up a formal option to accept the mission.

So the next step should be the NPC task introduction.

After listening to the task, he can decide whether to accept it or not.

Because he had checked before, this dungeon can only accept one mission at a time, and he is not allowed to give up the mission.

If the task is too difficult to complete, it seems that there is no need to take it.

At this time, the voice of the NPC sounded again.

【This old man is a person whose age is about to come】

【Come here to find the way of immortality】

[However, in this world, what you gain is what you lose]

[When the old man found what he was looking for, he paid a price beyond redemption]

[It turns out that the price of immortality is to be trapped in this ants' den]

【It's really regrettable】

Although the other party spoke a bit awkwardly, Shi Li still understood.

It seems that this task is probably to help the other party get out of trouble.

It can't be that he has been locked up for too long, and he wants to dance by himself to relieve boredom.

"What can I do for you."

so he asked.

【It's better to have a good time than to live like this】

【The old man wants you to help the old man break the way of immortality】

【Gifts are both gifts and shackles】

[Break this barrier, and the way of immortality will be broken]

"Then what should I do to break the barrier?"

Shi Li asked again.

It seems that this task is not to help the NPC out of trouble as I thought, but to help the NPC out.

[Cannot be used inside the screen, need to use external force to break open]

[But this screen is extraordinary, it cannot be broken easily]

【You... go find the old man's sword】

The sword old man inside the barrier slowly raised his withered arm.

I saw him spread his palms upwards, his eyes fixed.

call out!

A long sword constructed of red light appeared.

No, Shi Li took a closer look and found that it was just a scabbard, not a complete sword.

【The old man's sword was left in the city】

[Find the sword, and the old man can respond to it and break the barrier from the outside]

As for the reason and process of the loss, it seems that the old sword man doesn't intend to say more.

"Where is your sword and what does it look like?"

When Shi Li heard this, he frowned.

Because the scabbard looks like it has no substance, it's hard for people to judge what the sword's body looks like.

【What does the sword look like...】

【I forgot】

[Anyway, it must be in the city, you can find it anyway]

"?"

When I heard it, my head grew bigger.

Sure enough, this task is not reliable!

Finding a needle in a haystack, this definitely belongs!

However, when he got here, the old sword man stopped talking.

[Yes/No to accept the task of the old man of the sword]

[Task: Help the opponent break through the barrier]

"..."

Shi Li remained silent, and had a clue about this task information for a while.

He can be regarded as smart now, and won't be fooled by this system's introduction every time.

The task clearly said "break the barrier", but it didn't say "seek the sword".

In other words, the ultimate goal is not to find that sword to break through the barrier, but to break through the barrier and let the old sword man come out.

To be honest, Shili didn't want to give up on this task.

Because if the task is completed, not only will there be one more chance to draw a card, but the NPC will also be added to the card pool.

Wouldn't that be a proper pocket for me?

I feel that this guy is not low-grade, maybe it will be a useful sword card?

So, is this task to be done or not?

His only worry is that he can't complete the task after accepting it, which will lead to the occupation of the task quota.

When I meet other NPCs later, will I miss the opportunity in vain?

So Shi Li didn't take over the task immediately, but planned to conduct some tests.

Phantom Sang's strength is not very strong, just about the same as that of ordinary adults.

He randomly found a rotten wooden stick on the ground, and first knocked hard on the wall of the ancient city.

boom!

The heads of the rotten wooden sticks bloomed directly and became even more rotten.

But there was no trace on the city wall.

"There's something wrong with this city wall."

He reached out and touched it, and he responded.

This thing seems to be an air wall.

Originally, his idea was, could he dig out the barrier by tearing down the wall and digging holes, maybe there is a 0.1% possibility to help him out of trouble?

Unfortunately, now it seems that this is unrealistic.

Changed the angle, this time using a wooden stick to knock on the barrier.

Boom!

The sound effect is different.

【A futile act】

[This screen can be broken with extraordinary power]

The sword old man raised half an eye.

"There's something wrong."

But what Shi Li saw was different information.

The moment I knocked it down with my stick just now, the barrier revealed blood!

Then, also in an instant, it disappeared again.

The blood bar that appeared out of thin air was too conspicuous, so it was definitely not his misreading or hallucination.

Next, he made a few more attempts to confirm the situation.

This thing really has a blood bar.

It's just that it seems to have the ability to recover blood that cannot be broken by the output of the stick alone.

That's why the blood bar will disappear for a moment, probably because the blood is full.

"In this case, it will be solved very well."

"Who is afraid of things with blood bars?"

After rubbing his hands together, Shi Li felt relieved and prepared to take on the task.

"Huh? I didn't expect there to be a contestant here."

However, at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded behind him.

[Confirm to accept the mission! 】

He didn't even look back immediately, his first reaction was to immediately accept the task.

Because of a task, only one person can take it at the same time.

If you don’t pick it up yourself, what if someone robs you?

If you want to grab the mission, you can only eliminate the players who dropped the mission, and then go to the NPC again.

But the current body is not the main body, so how could it be eliminated.

After completing this action, he turned his head to look at the other party.

It turned out that there was not only one mourner, but two mourners.

【Big Queue】

【Xiao Yuanyuan】

This is their code name, a male bereavement and a female bereavement.

Both were tall and slender, with reverse arched wrists.

There is no doubt that these are two chasing wind mourners.

There is no doubt that they are allies walking together.

His thoughts turned in his mind for a moment, and Shi Li took a few steps back vigilantly.

"Wow, is this an NPC?"

As soon as Xiao Yuanyuan raised her eyes, she saw the old man with the sword trapped in the barrier.

After releasing the mission, the sword old man seemed to return to dead silence.

There was no response to the arrival of the two contestants.

"Brother Wang Defa, you accepted the mission?"

Da Que Que took a step forward and quietly narrowed the distance with Shi Li.

"No, I just see that the position of the remains is a bit strange, and I want to mess with it to see if I can receive the task."

Shi Li said.

"Speaking of brother Ga, would you stop standing and talking and move a bit."

At this time, Xiao Yuanyuan reminded him.

The two of them are chasing after the wind, and they will not recover if they stand still.

Shili's template is to listen to the wind, and the energy is still fully stored at this time.

If the two sides really want to communicate with sincerity, then it must be a friendly and equal state.

"There are two of you, and I'm on my own. It's not too much to store up some energy."

Shi Li understood what the other party meant.

But he was in a weak position with less to more, so what's wrong with accumulating some energy.

Of course, Phantom Sorrow is just a fake show. It has energy on the surface, but in fact it cannot release skills without skills.

So now it's just pretending, you can't just show your timidity directly.

"What you said also makes sense."

Xiao Yuanyuan stopped Da Que Que, who was about to say something, and asked, "Then did you find anything?"

"This skeleton is blocked by a thin film, and it may take a powerful attack to open it."

"I didn't open it anyway."

Shi Li didn't let go of the stick in his hand, and beat it a few times in front of them.

"You can come and try."

With that said, he stepped aside.

"Oh?" x2

Hearing this, Da Que and Xiao Yuanyuan couldn't help but look at each other.

Doesn't this mean that the other party is admitting in disguise that he has no powerful means of attack?

Is it too naive, ignorant of the sinister competition among players?

Or is it a deliberate show of weakness, trying to make us let our guard down?

Anyway, these two contestants definitely didn't believe in Shi Li.

Of course, Shi Li didn't believe them either. Under normal circumstances, he would definitely not be able to escape this phantom funeral.

Now he is nothing more than trying to trick these two guys and help him further test the level of the barrier.

Of course, although the chances are low, if they can help break the barrier, wouldn't their mission be completed.

This is naturally the best.

"Then let me try it, Ga."

At this time, after a while of eye contact, Da Que Que began to step back gradually.

Yes, step back.

He did this to make enough run-up distance.

Shi Li also moved a few steps out of the way, leaving room for the other party to display.

"I'm coming, Ga!"

So Da Que Que yelled, and then started to run with the characteristic limp pace of the beast.

Not to mention, the speed is quite fast.

It may be that some special acceleration passive was chosen.

And on the run-up, a translucent golden semicircular film appeared in front of him.

It also looks a bit like a barrier, planning to have a head-on confrontation with the city wall.

As a result, when Shi Li's gaze was on Da Que, Xiao Yuanyuan, who was standing not far from him, suddenly raised her hand.

rustle!

Several tough vines burst out of the ground, directly entangled Shi Li's feet.

"?"

Shi Li's expression froze for a moment.

Actually, he was not surprised to be attacked by surprise, he had expected it.

Surprisingly, this little Yuanyuan was also chasing the wind, and she didn't have a run-up energy storage, so how could she be able to use her skills.

It seems that he also chose some special skills?

Just before he had time to flash this thought, Da Que rushed up to him.

boom!

The penetrating gold barrier collided with Phantom's frail body, directly smashing it to pieces.

call out!

With a flash of Shi Li's eyes, he found that he had returned to No. 2 Barracks.

"Big Queque, Little Yuanyuan, right?"

"Okay, I remember you."

"Gah."

He nodded, and summoned Phantom Sang again with a wave of his hand.

However, the development of this matter is also reasonable. Even if others really want to break the screen, there is no need to keep me by my side.

[Ding dong! 】

As a result, after a few minutes, Shi Li's view of these two players completely changed.

[The mission of the sword elder has been completed]

"I'll go, they really broke the barrier."

"A good man will live a safe life, huh."

He never expected that this task would be completed so smoothly and so quickly?

Obviously, those two contestants broke the barrier for themselves, and they really have some skills!

And it seems that this barrier may have been through too long, and it may have lost the firmness described by the old swordsman. It's just that he is in the barrier and is restricted by the seal, so he can't break through it.

[Ding dong! 】

[Big Que Que, OUT! 】

[Xiao Yuanyuan, OUT! 】

As a result, only a few seconds later, he heard the "bad news" from the dungeon prompt.

"It's too coincidental, isn't it so unlucky?"

For this, he could only smile helplessly.

I just finished sending my blessings, but the other person disappeared.

I don't know who ate them both.

...

On the ground of the ancient city, it was already nightfall.

The arrogant and domineering demon slayers during the day have basically left the ancient city, and they will not come back until the day comes.

The few who remained in the city also found a safe hiding place.

Because at night, this place is the world of beasts.

They are completely unaffected by darkness and can act at will.

On the side of the quiet street, 5 beasts were squatting under the hidden wall.

Their lineup collocation is very reasonable, respectively, violent, wise, balanced, firm, listening, and wind.

"The competition at night was so fierce. It's only been two hours, and the number of eliminated people is almost half over."

One of them was determined to mourn, and he expressed emotion at this time.

Without the threat of the Demon Slayer, the players have basically adapted to this instance.

So at night, the number of eliminations began to rise sharply.

His emotion caused several other team members to speak one after another.

"But I think this is just the early stage. As the number of players decreases, everyone will gradually become less rash."

"So I expect it will take several days to decide the final five."

"Actually, to be honest, I think it's quite dangerous during the daytime, and the fighting power of those demon slayers just exploded."

"I estimate that there must be at least 5 swallows or more players to be able to compete with them."

In their impromptu team, the lowest ones are all 1-swallow players, that is, they have already swallowed 1 other player.

The tallest ones were not many, only 2 were swallowed.

"Speaking of which, how did [He Wenmi] go for so long?"

"I didn't hear the reminder of elimination, so I shouldn't have encountered any danger."

The total number of this team is 6 people, and the He Wenmi they are talking about is a chasing wind.

Play the role of scout in the party.

Now the team wants to transfer the base area, but they dare not travel directly, so He Wenmi, who is flexible in legs and feet, is asked to explore the road first.

It's just that now she went there for more than an hour and didn't come back, and she didn't know what was going on.

"Well, did you hear anything?"

At this time, Ting Fengsang in the team suddenly asked.

"?" x3

"I didn't hear anything."

"Is there something wrong?"

"Be alert."

The other three gave positive responses to Ting Fengsang's words.

Because he chose a sensory passive, he has a stronger sense of hearing.

Sure enough, within a few seconds, the mourners saw pairs of red eyes in the darkness.

These red eyes are distributed at both ends of the street and at the entrances of alleys, slowly surrounding here from all directions.

"What! Is it a broken momentum?!"

Red eyes, the first thing people think of is the loss of momentum.

"There are a lot of them!"

These red eyes are densely packed.

"It doesn't look normal, are they all lying on their stomachs?"

Moreover, their heights are very low, unlike the height of normal beasts.

Instead, it looked like it was crawling on the ground.

But soon, they saw clearly the true colors of those red eyes.

It was a beggar dog whose skin was rotten, with bones exposed in many places, and drawing saliva to flow to the ground.

"Damn it, everyone!"

"It seems that we are players who have encountered the summoning flow!"

Wisdom mourned immediately.

During the day, he once met a summoning player, and defeated him to devour him.

However, the opponent's summoning skills were not selected.

So as soon as I saw this group of multiple beasts of the same type, I immediately recognized the truth.

"I'm going to Ga, is Summoning Liu such a rascal?"

Beside him, Balanced Sang exclaimed in a low voice.

"It's okay, usually these summons are very weak."

"Let me scout Ga first."

As Wisdom Sang said, a blue light began to appear in his eyes.

He also brought a reconnaissance skill, which could detect the opponent's panel.

【Beast Dog】

Attack: 1

Defense: 0

Dexterity: 10

Life: 1

Rating: 12

"These guys are a bit powerful..."

"All reached the level of 12 points."

As a result, after reading this, his expression became a little heavy.

And you have to know that during the daytime, the Summoning Beast that I met had only 4 or 5 little Beasts around me.

Looking at the present, there are definitely more than 50 of these beast dogs!

"there is always a solution to a problem!"

"What are you afraid of!"

"Everyone stand behind me!"

The steadfast mourner in the team heard that these guys only scored 12 points, but he was determined.

As allies, they are mutual.

Their berserk and wise losers are good at AOE.

So soon, everyone quickly determined the tactics with the lowest volume.

The firm mourner is responsible for the frontal attack, listening to the wind mourning treatment + auxiliary attack, and the wise mourner + violent mourner with full output.

The most special task of Balanced Sorrow is to find the opposite summoner as quickly as possible and kill him.

[Wang Wangga! 】xN

"start to act!"

When the first of the nearest beast dogs pounced on them, they too were in action.

For a while, the 5 bereavement groups and the beast dogs fought into a mess.

Although the panel of Beast Dogs is low, there are really a lot of them, and they are also dexterous.

So even if the 5 mourning groups can maintain self-protection, they cannot be wiped out quickly.

After fighting fiercely like this for about 5 minutes, Balance Sang, who was lurking on the roof but never found the opponent's summoner, suddenly shouted!

"Not good! Another batch of humanoid beasts came!"

...
