The Eternal Sword Master of Online Games

Lin Chen threw out the Insight Technique and immediately obtained the information about the shoes——

[Elaine's Rose Shoes] (Quest Item)

Explanation: This was a birthday gift that Elaine received on her 14th birthday, but it was lost here for some unknown reason.

Although Lin Chen had never heard of Elaine's name before, but combined with the "Missing Child" mission, he thought of the information he had obtained through Captain Carlo before.

Keepsakes related to children.

Lin Chen quickly made a judgment that Elaine was most likely one of the seven missing children.

Finding Elaine's shoes here doesn't mean that the children were hidden nearby, but it at least confirms that the children passed by here.

This is a good start.

Thinking of this, Lin Chen felt that he was full of energy.

He put Elaine's shoes into his backpack, then took a look at the bronze equipment he just picked up, and found that it was a set of armor parts——

[Armor of the Wolf] (Quality: Bronze)

Physical defense:

Magic defense:

Additional: Constitution +4

Equipment level: 1

Explanation: The front of the armor is carved with the image of a ferocious wolf, which seems to be the totem of some wild tribe.

This set of wolf armor has some added defense, and its attributes are pretty good, but Lin Chen already has the warrior's armor, so he can't use it.

It can only be cheap to sweep away thousands of troops.

Lin Chen sent the illustration of the Wolf Armor to Sweeping the Qianqian Army, and soon received a reply from the other party, indicating that he indeed needed such a piece of equipment.

Lin Chen told Sweeping Qianjun that his mission had just made some progress and that he would have to wait until he returned to Redwood Town later before he could hand over the equipment to him. Sweeping Qianjun didn't mind, saying that he was not in a hurry to get the equipment anyway.

I have only reached level 11 now, and there is still some time before I can reach level 1.

Lin Chen closed the chat window with Sweeping Qianjun, and packed all the other props and materials that the ghost wolf had just exploded, regardless of whether they were useful or not, into his backpack. Anyway, his current backpack was still very empty. After that, he moved towards the backpack

After taking a general look, I didn't find any particularly valuable props and materials, so I ignored them.

He took advantage of the opportunity before the monsters nearby were spawned again, and carefully observed the surrounding environment, paying close attention to whether there were any new clues.

Soon after, he made a new discovery.

It was a badge, shining in the moonlight.

Lin Chen used the Insight Technique and quickly obtained information about this badge. This badge represented a noble family in Redwood Town. This reminded Lin Chen that among the missing children, there was a little fat man who owned that family.

of blood, this badge may be the token that the little fat man lost during his struggle.

Lin Chen opened the mission panel, then quickly cut out the map from the mission, and found that the system had automatically marked the location where the badge and shoes were found for him. Not only that, Captain Carlo and the others also got the information - the earliest discovery

The locations of the children's tokens are also marked.

The location where the clues were first discovered was quite far away from here, almost at the entrance to Devil's Ridge. It's no wonder Captain Carlo and the others didn't find any follow-up clues.

The three locations did not form a straight line. Using systematic measuring tools, Lin Chen drew the line connecting each two points to form an obtuse triangle. He thought for a while, removed the longest line, and made

It becomes a folded angle, and then uses the system's measuring tools to convert the straight line into a curve.

Lin Chen studied the map carefully, adjusted the angle of the curve, and finally drew a section of road on the map.

He felt that this should not be a coincidence.

Lin Chen walked along this section of the road, and it was a little easier to walk later.

He never met the ghost wolves again. The only ones he met were the soul-piercing monsters, which were squirrel-shaped monsters that could discharge electricity. During the following journey, there were not many monsters spawned. They were only in twos and threes, and their levels were not very high. He was unable to deal with them.

Lin Chen creates too many obstacles.

Lin Chen successfully rose to level 1 and verified his guess that the missing children were taken away along this road.

Because he found other clues on this road. He saw a handkerchief with the word "Save me" written in blood on it. He also saw a twisted small dagger, as well as a handkerchief scattered on the side.

Due to the blood stains, Lin Chen guessed that some children had tried to resist.

When Lin Chen reached the end of the road, there was a cliff in front of him. Lin Chen did not believe that the missing children were taken by someone and flew down from the cliff. Because all the clues would be invalidated, and this mission was B after all.

Level of difficulty. If he couldn't find the child after finding so many clues, Lin Chen estimated that even if he didn't have to fight monsters, the difficulty of this task should be increased by at least one level.

He studied the map again, and it seemed that there was a trail nearby that led to the heights of Devil's Ridge.

That trail was very hidden. If there wasn't a map for comparison, Lin Chen almost couldn't find it.

Lin Chen followed this path and continued to walk higher, but as he walked, there was no road ahead, but a mountain wall rising from the ground.

Need a detour?

Lin Chen suddenly noticed that what was in front of him was a rock half as tall as a man. His intuition told him that this rock should not be placed here. The most important thing was that the edge of the rock was also stained with blood.

He groped for a while, followed the cracks between the rock and the mountain wall, and found that there was a hollow behind the rock.

Lin Chen pushed the rock away with all his strength, and sure enough, a hole appeared. The hole was not small, and could probably accommodate two adults to get in at the same time.

This should be it.

Lin Chen took a deep breath, rubbed new phosphor powder on the weapon that was gradually glowing faintly, and then got into the cave.

"Ding!"

"System prompt: Exploring a new location [Cave of Evil]."

He has not obtained more cave information, but he can't care about that much at the moment. Anyway, he will not really die in the game, and he will not be afraid of any danger. Of course, there is a certain sense of tension after all.

As Lin Chen went deeper, the cave gradually opened up, but also became darker. He regretted not making a torch first or buying a lighting crystal. After all, the lighting range of the fluorescent powder was too small and could not cover all corners.

.

After walking for a while, Lin Chen stopped and seemed to hear some faint noises.

He identified a direction and continued to move forward. When he reached the end, he found a group of rats biting each other under the influence of unknown forces. Lin Chen ignored these non-threatening rats and groped around. He quickly noticed

When we arrived, a stone door appeared on the rock wall.

Lin Chen did not have the power to push the stone door, but he found a mechanism around it, but when he turned the switch, the stone door opened with a rumble.

There was a sudden burst of brightness, forcing Lin Chen to cover his eyes and instinctively dodge.

However, the attack he was prepared for did not come.

Lin Chen got used to the brightness of the magic light, and then carefully walked through the stone door and found an open space inside.

Lin Chen heard faint sobs and noticed several children chained nearby. Their limbs were chained, making them unable to move.

When Lin Chen got closer, he discovered that each had a small tube inserted into their arms, causing their blood to slowly and rhythmically drip out bit by bit along the tube, converging in the central stone trough.

.

In the stone trough, there lay a very disgusting and awkward corpse, or rather a pieced together body.

Suddenly, the corpse opened its pale eyes. (To be continued)
