"accept!"
After making the choice, the village chief spoke again.
"I knew I was right about you. You are indeed a trustworthy person."
"In fact, the original mission of our village was to suppress a sleeping demon. Over thousands of years, the strength of the seal has gradually weakened and the demon has awakened. It is about to break through the seal..."
"The flame demon that I asked you to seal in the west was actually produced by the demon's breath contaminating the volcanic lava..."
Following the village chief's narration, the game prompts soon sounded.
[Ding, the head of Novice Village No. 23333 is issuing a mythical serial mission to you (1): Sealed Demon, do you accept the mission? ]
[Task description: Defeat the devil and put him to sleep. ]
Lin Ye did not hesitate and accepted the task again.
"This token is given to you. It will guide you into the interior of the seal."
[Ding, get the seal key*1]
[Sealing Key]
[Mission props]
[Description: After using it at a specific location in Novice Village No. 23333, you can enter a sealed space. ]
After bidding farewell to the village chief, Lin Ye walked towards the coordinates specified by the secret key.
The Novice Village was not big, and it took only a moment for Lin Ye to reach the center of the village, where a statue whose appearance could not be seen clearly stood.
Around the statue, many players were setting up stalls to sell equipment and materials.
Lin Ye's arrival did not attract too many people's attention.
When Lin Ye came to the statue with the secret key, a game prompt popped up.
[Ding, you have arrived at the target location, do you want to use the secret key to enter the sealed secret realm? ]
"yes!"
As soon as the words fell, Lin Ye's body lit up with a white light, and the next second he disappeared completely.
"Huh? Did that person just disappear?"
"What's weird about this? It's probably just a teleportation scroll."
"Too."
...
With a flash of white light, Lin Ye found that he had arrived at a dark underground passage.
The passage is surrounded by luminous stones. It is these weak light sources that keep this underground passage from being dark.
Lin Ye looked around and saw that only the passage in front of him could be walked, the others were all closed rocks.
Seeing this, he walked down the passage.
All the way down the passage, the oncoming breath gradually became warmer.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, Lin Ye's eyes suddenly opened up. A huge underground square appeared in front of Lin Ye.
Around the square, there is a faint golden light curtain that separates the outside world from the inside.
The light curtain was translucent, so Lin Ye could clearly see the scene inside the light curtain.
I saw a huge cage placed in the center of the square.
A thin figure was being held inside the cage, with three spears emitting light golden light stuck in his body.
Each spear passed through the body and pinned the emaciated figure firmly to the ground.
Is this the sealed demon?
At this time, the thin figure seemed to sense Lin Ye and slowly raised his head.
Lin Ye was stunned for a moment when he saw the other party's appearance.
According to the mission prompts, the opponent should be a demon, and the demon in Lin Ye's impression should have a ferocious face and horns.
But the man in front of him didn't have any characteristics of a demon. Instead, all his appearance characteristics were exactly the same as those of humans.
Thin figure, messy hair, pale face and dilapidated body.
"Oh, you lackeys are really dedicated to your responsibilities. It has been more than a thousand years and you still haven't forgotten the instructions left by your master."
The mocking words came out of the other party's mouth, but Lin Ye was stunned for a moment.
Running dog? Master?
Is he talking about the village chief?
While Lin Ye was stunned, the other party spoke on his own again.
"Huh? You are not one of those lackeys? You are... the new arrival!"
This time, there was obvious surprise in the other party's words, and even a hint of joy.
"That's right, you are not those lackeys, you are the descendants. I didn't expect that Xingyuan would welcome the descendants again!"
The other party murmured to himself, but it caused Lin Ye's heart to stir up a storm.
The adventer!
Lin Ye had heard this title countless times in his previous life, but there was only one kind of person who would call the player this way.
Those are the indigenous people of Star Source Continent! Players call them Star Source people.
In other words, the person in front of me is not a demon at all, but a Xingyuan person!
But why did the village chief say that the one sealed was a demon?
etc!
Could it be that...
Lin Ye's memory surged rapidly, and he soon dug out a rumor he had heard in a corner.
According to legend, there is a stone tablet in a secret place somewhere. The stone tablet records a major event that happened in the Star Source Continent thousands of years ago and changed the fate of the entire continent.
And this major event can be summed up in only eight words.
Alien invasion, racial annihilation!
Recalling the deeds of the Xingyuan people I had seen and heard in my previous life, it was true that they were all encountered in secret realms or dungeons. There were also some dead souls, but there were none in the outside world.
And the people from Star Source you meet are all doing the same thing - helping players!
This is the consensus of the player circle, including that after the monsters came to reality, there were also some Star Source people who came to reality to help players resist the monsters.
In the words of some players in previous lives, you can doubt NPCs, but you can't doubt Xingyuan people!
Then here comes the problem.
The mythical level serial mission that I accepted actually required me to kill a Xingyuan person.
What the hell is going on?
By the way, just look at the other party's attributes and you'll know.
[Demon Lord Van Lun'er (Gold Level BOSS)]
[Level:10]
[Qi and blood: 1000000/1000000]
[Magic:500000/500000]
[Magic attack: 12000]
[Defense: 5000]
[Resistance: 6000]
[Skills: Blazing Embrace, Devil's Ancient Words, Earth Lava, Troll's Body...]
Before Lin Ye finished reading the attribute panel, Fan Lun'er spoke.
"It's a pity that you are just a weak basic professional. You are too weak. Find the strong ones from your clan. I will not talk to the weak."
Lin Ye was stunned.
He seems... to be looked down upon!
Oh, ignorant natives!
Lin Ye sneered, raised his hand and pointed at Fan Lun'er with a flat A plus double heavy arrows.
-27152
-20635
-20521
The exaggerated damage made Fan Lun'er's eyes suddenly pop out.
Before he could say anything more, Lin Ye had already activated Silver Moon Carnival and started shooting arrows wildly at Fan Lun'er's face.
After Fan Lun'er came to his senses from his initial confusion, more than a dozen wooden arrows had been inserted into his face.
"Damn it, stop it!"
"How dare you disrespect the great Magister Van Renl!"
"No, little brother, stop c*****g."
"Stop! Stop c*****g, I can't hold it on my face!"
"Uuuuuuuuuuah, please c*m again and I will die."
Everyone in Van Lun'er is going numb.
In his long life, this was the first time he saw a basic professional who had not changed professions suffer such injuries.
Although he still has some strength left, he can't stand up to this.
The most important thing is that when the opponent stands outside the seal and shoots arrows, he can't fight back even if he wants to.
I'm so angry, but there's nothing I can do!
"I was wrong, brother. I was really wrong. I have something important to tell you. Please stop c*****g."
Fan Lun'er was completely convinced, and his health bar had bottomed out.
Seeing the dense wooden arrows on Fan Lun'er's face, Lin Ye finally let out a bad breath.
"If you have anything to say, please tell me. Listen."
