Virtual World: The Legendary Thief

Repair the equipment in the station, replenish the magic potion on Hongye and go out.

Murong Shanshan leaned against the brick wall next to the station with her sword in her arms and a smile on her face. After I approached, she said, "Xuehan and Xinyu are also online, do you want you to level up with them?"

"No, I told them I have a task to do,"

"Oh, let's go~"

There are still many players going to Silver Moon Mountain, but after yesterday's siege battle, there are very few Merry Tianxia players here. I don't know if they have been hit. Merry Young Master and Blood Red didn't say anything after their failure, and even they couldn't see any harsh words from them on the forum.

In the task list, there are three orange-level tasks at the top, and there are only a few small blue tasks below. It seems that there is nothing to gain. One of the three orange tasks happens to be completed in the Silver Moon Mountains. After I added Murong Shanshan to the team, I immediately activated this task. After that, the task with a time limit of 12 hours also officially started. If it cannot be completed within the specified time, the system will default to the task failure.

[Recasting the Holy Sword of Light] (Orange Quest)

Task content: Since finding the Bright Blade, the craftsmen in the camp found that the Bright Blade suffered huge damage and could not fully exert its light power. Therefore, the Golden Knights Duck has been looking for a way to recast the Bright Blade. Recently, he learned that there is a hermit who knows how to reforge the Bright Blade, which can restore the Bright Blade to its original appearance. It will be of great help to Golden Dawn in winning this righteous victory. , and complete the important task of recasting the holy sword.

...

Looking at the mission content, I suddenly remembered the purple mission I received with Xin Yu and Lu Xuehan the day before yesterday. The beautiful palace guard captain Nana seemed to be looking for a hermit on Silver Moon Mountain. Could it be that what we are looking for in this mission is the same person she is looking for? Unfortunately, if we can find her, we might be able to accomplish both missions with one stone. It's strange to be beaten to death by those high-level NPCs.

Recalling carefully, Nana was wounded at the ice-cold troll's blockade, that is to say, her path to find the hermit was stopped there. Based on this speculation, the real location of the hermit must have crossed the higher altitude of the ice-cold troll. In other words, we will cross the watershed defended by the ice-cold troll to challenge even more difficult monsters.

Looking at the task content, Murong Shanshan was very confused, and asked: "Where is this hermit? The map has no coordinates. Silver Moon Mountain is so big, where can we find it?"

"I probably only know a certain area. Go over and have a look, maybe you can find a breakthrough,"

"Um,"

After Murong Shanshan responded, he added the life guard to me. It can be said that with the life guard, I can carry three or four ice-cold trolls in front of me. After arriving at the area where the ice-cold trolls are located, Murong Shanshan and I didn't bother to deal with these difficult monsters. We just cleared a path in the middle and crossed directly.

After several days of non-stop taking medicine and practicing, Hongye's current healing technique is also level 6. With her healing output, she can basically add more than 1000 qi and blood at a time. Although she is not as good as Lu Xuehan, she is already equivalent to an ordinary 50-level little priest, and she is a very obedient little priest.

I don't know why, whenever there are other players with me, Hongye always doesn't speak, unless I strike up a conversation first, and when it's just me, Hongye will talk to me first, and even occasionally joke with me. It seems that her intelligence has grown along with her own attributes.

Under my default order, Hongye has been following my steps through the blockade of the ice-cold troll, and behind the blockade is another world, where the Silver Moon Mountains have been completely covered in snow. Not only that, there are also large flakes of snow dancing in the sky, falling on the armor and cloak, and slowly melting.

Basically, you won't feel cold in the game, so although Murong Shanshan beside you has a large area of ​​snow-white skin exposed outside the beautifully shaped armor, you won't feel cold. Instead, it's like being in a world of ice and snow.

After walking for nearly half an hour, we hardly encountered any monsters, not even a small animal. Murong Shanshan couldn't help but wonder: "Did we go the wrong way? Why is there no trace of people coming?"

I didn't answer, and looked around. The snow on the snow mountain was falling heavily. Even if someone walked by, the footprints would be covered by the heavy snow within half a day, so it was impractical to judge the hermit's whereabouts based on the footprints.

His gaze stayed beside a big tree, and there was a trace of scorching on it.

I walked a few steps quickly, and used the blood-red sword to poke the snow on the ground, only to see a puddle of ashes under the snow layer.

"This..." Murong Shanshan was greatly surprised, "You found out about this, um, could it have been left a long time ago?"

"Probably not. Didn't you see that the snow here is thinner than other places, that is to say, there was no snow here a while ago, so someone lit a fire here, and it wasn't long before the fire went out. You can see that the scorched trees haven't grown new flesh~"

Murong Shanshan smiled: "Even if you are right, how can you tell where the hermit is?"

"Go a little further up, I think, and he'll find a shelter from the wind and snow,"

"Why is it certain that he will go up,"

I looked back at her and said with a smile: "Silly girl, no matter in movies or novels, masters live in seclusion high in the snow-capped mountains, do you think this hermit is not a master?"

Murong Shanshan was speechless for a while, and followed me up silently.

The snow on the ground is getting thicker and thicker, the slope of the mountain is getting steeper, and the feet began to slip. Murong Shanshan's figure flashed and she almost slipped on the ground. Fortunately, I grabbed her quickly. From then on, I will not let go. It will be safer for the two of us to walk together. Murong Shanshan's little hands are smooth and tender, and they feel very good in the hand. But the moment I hold her, she blushes a little.

Hongye is an NPC, so there will be no slipping and falling, which also saves me a lot of things.

Finally, under a cliff protruding like an eaves, we found the trace of the hermit. As Guo Furong said, ordinary heroes are very hard-working, and this old hermit is no exception. Although the snow is blocked under the cliff, it can’t cover the cold wind. Finally, the last trace of sparks disappeared.

The hermit shook his head slightly, and said helplessly, "Why did I practice wind magic instead of fire magic?"

Murong Shanshan and I both laughed, and our laughter immediately made the hermit discover us.

He looked back at us and finally smiled and said, "Young man, what are you looking for in this snow-capped mountain?"

I wanted to talk about seeking money and equipment, but was stopped by Murong Shanshan, who smiled and said to the hermit: "Look for justice, look for the path to light,"

My good fellow, she actually learned my high-sounding tricks.

The hermit seemed to appreciate Murong Shanshan's words very much. He stood up slowly leaning on his staff, and said, "In this case, are you willing to accept my test for you? If you pass the test, you will be rewarded generously, and your hard work will also bring another light to the earth."

"Ding~,"

System prompt: Your team has triggered the follow-up plot of the mission [Recasting the Holy Sword of Light]. Do you accept it?

After we clicked OK, the hermit showed a gratified expression, and then said: "The holy sword of light condenses the sacred power of the ancient demon god. In the war ten years ago, the human alliance lost this treasure, which directly led to a total collapse. The power of the undead natural disasters is increasingly eroding the body and soul of human beings. They live in a dark state of anxiety. If the holy sword of light is recast, then its sacred brilliance will eliminate people's weakness and cowardice. In front of the holy sword of light, all evil forces will eventually disappear. The epidemic will also die out quickly,"

I listened very carefully, but after listening, I realized that he actually talked nonsense. I have already learned about these things in the game data.

I asked directly: "Master, what should we do to reforge the Holy Sword of Light?"

The hermit leader let out a sigh and said, "This task is not easy to accomplish. You must collect three precious materials to help recast the Holy Sword of Light. These are: storm element, fire element, and earth element,"

Murong Shanshan said in surprise: "How should these elements be collected?"

The hermit smiled: "Originally, I came to this snow collar to find storm elements and earth elements. In the mausoleum not far to the southwest of here, there are many storm hammers. Storm hammers are stone puppets that have been mutated by storm elements. After you defeat the stone puppets, there will be a certain chance of collecting storm elements. Collecting 100 storm elements will complete one-third of the mission. Similarly, the other two locations, one is the hellfire at the bottom of the Qingfeng Valley in the lower half of the Silver Moon Mountains. The golem giant can drop out the fire element, and the other is in the rocky valley next to the bottom of Qingfeng Valley, where the rock golem can drop out the earth element."

The hermit paused, and then explained: "You must be careful. These bloodthirsty puppets are very terrifying existences. Countless courage has fallen under their terrifying attacks. Every elemental monster has its own attack and defense attributes. If you can understand these, I believe it will be of great help to you to complete the task."

There is no problem with the monster's attributes, because I can use the true sight skill to see it.

"Okay, that's all for now," the hermit issued the order to evict the guests. "Time is running out. Hurry up and complete your mission. After collecting the three items, come here and hand them to me. I will forge the real holy sword of light in the shortest possible time. You can get rich rewards by handing the holy sword of light to Dake."

After finishing speaking, the hermit squatted down to light the fire again, and the end of a big sword was exposed in the cloth bag behind him. If I remember correctly, this is the Bright Blade that Murong Shanshan and I snatched from the sword master. It seems that this hermit is indeed a big man, otherwise Dake would not have given such an important thing to him.

Murong Shanshan pulled me, "Let's go, first go to the southwest to collect storm elements, this place is relatively close to us, after collecting storm elements, go down a section of the mountain to collect the other two,"

"Um,"

So they set off to the southwest, and what was surprising was that those stone puppets actually lived on the snowy ground. Their huge bodies moved slowly. Their bodies were all made of stones, and the jagged stones were full of edges and corners.

To be on the safe side, I have to appraise it first, to stop Murong Shanshan, I lost a True Sight skill in the past.

[Storm Hammer] (a special monster, a living being forgotten by nature)

Level: 85

Attack: 1850-2300

Defense: 1200

Vitality: 8000

Attack Type: Power Attack, with a 40% chance of causing a fatal blow to the target

Defense type: heavy armor, extra damage from magic attacks

...

I read it three times before confirming that I was right. This monster really only has 8,000 health, and the defense is only 1,200. My real attack of nearly 2,000 can already have a great damage bonus. However, his attack is also quite terrifying, and the attack type is also quite BT. There is actually a 40% chance of hitting a fatal blow. This probability is much higher than mine, almost comparable to Xinyu's fatal strike rate.

I was really worried about letting Hong Ye lead such an NB monster, so I had to do it myself. When I ran back with the monster, Murong Shanshan also caught up and greeted him with a wave of his sword.

Murong Shanshan seemed to want to test this monster's details as much as I did, so she didn't use her skills, she just hit a normal attack, and after adding my normal attack, the Storm Hammer lost nearly half of its vitality in an instant.

Before I had time to be happy, the attack of the hammer of the storm also fell on me, and the huge stone arm was slapped down heavily. Suddenly, I felt a pain in my back, and the whole blood bar was cut in half.

Combat information: Storm Hammer has a fatal blow effect on your attack, and you lose 3476 blood.

"Swipe ~ brush ~"

The second sword that Murong Shanshan and I issued almost at the same time ended the Hammer of Storms. We got a lot of experience, and the experience bonus for fighting monsters at level 20 is not fake.

While gaining experience, I also broke out in a cold sweat. Without Murong Shanshan's life protection, a single attack from this Storm Hammer would be enough to knock out nearly 7,000 of my qi and blood, which is close to all of my qi and blood.

Therefore, I am also sure that this is indeed the task monster of the orange task, otherwise it would not be possible to become like this.

After Hongye’s three blood boosts, my qi and blood returned to full, and I went on to look for the next target. Just now, the Storm Hammer didn’t drop the quest item, but just dropped a dozen gold coins. A monster dropped a dozen gold coins. This is indeed a bit abnormal.

You have to collect 100 storm elements to complete the collection of this single item. I can't help but worry about whether the storm hammer here is enough to kill, but after turning over a snow collar, my scruples are dispelled. In a valley, you can see the slowly crawling storm hammer almost everywhere, and the number cannot be counted for a while.

We made an agreement with Murong Shanshan that in order to speed up the collection task, one of us will use combo and heavy attack for each monster, and the other will use normal attack directly. This way, we can see if we can kill the monster in seconds. Because the attack speed of Storm Hammer is very slow, we can consider killing him in seconds before he makes a move.

The second Storm Hammer found us and slowly crawled over. This time, Murong Shanshan should use combo and heavy blows, while I should use normal attacks.

"Hoo~,"

The storm hammer's thick arm was raised in the air and it was about to be shot. At this time, one of my attacks had passed, cutting off nearly 2500 of its vitality, and Murong Shanshan launched five consecutive attacks and heavy blows in one go.

"1101,"

"1034,"

"1287,"

"1120,"

"3548,"

Undoubtedly, the remaining 5500 HP of Storm Hammer was immediately wiped out, and after dropping a storm element task item, he flew up.

Every time I see Murong Shanshan use combos, I feel a little bit of a villain, because her leveling has not been strengthened, so each of the four attacks can only exert less than half the power of a normal attack, but my strengthened combo is different. Now, the combo at level 7 can output about 75% of the normal attack in almost every attack. Four times is equivalent to three times the normal attack, and Murong Shanshan's is equivalent to two.
