Leveling up in the game is nothing more than playing dungeons, doing quests, or farming monsters in the wild.

Each of these three approaches has its own advantages and disadvantages. The quest is undoubtedly the safest way to avoid external interference and get equipment. But in the dungeon, the player must concentrate, otherwise it is easy to make mistakes, and once something goes wrong, it is the destruction of the group. And most of the monsters in the dungeon are elite monsters, with thick blood and high attack, which is relatively slow to kill, and the efficiency is not the highest one. As for doing tasks, each of the tasks released by NPCs has experience rewards, plus killing monsters, the experience gained is very rich, but because doing tasks requires running errands, sometimes there will be situations where you get lost, and the time consumed is relatively large.

As for farming monsters in the wild, many powerful guilds or small teams prefer to use this method, because when these people get together, they can wrap up a certain refresh point, and the entire territory is their own people, and the number of people can be reasonably distributed, and if someone comes to rob the monster, they can also be easily sent away. Generally speaking, as long as there is no friction between guilds of equal power, there will be no problem.

Ye Fei was too lazy to go to the next dungeon, so he went to the mercenary union and selected five tasks. The level of these five tasks is basically about 18C, which is the most abundant experience reward among the tasks he can take, and these tasks are all in the same place - Xishan, which is what Chen Hao said is suitable for him to level up!

The carriage was dusted away, and ten minutes later, Ye Fei arrived at a brand new map.

Compared with the dim tones of the twilight wilderness, Xishan is full of emerald green, revealing a vigorous vitality, glowing lakes, verdant bamboo gardens, towering mountain peaks, everything is so beautiful and natural that people can't help but feel a sense of appreciating the wonderful scenery. But if first-time players think it's a tourist destination, they're mistaken, and there are countless dangers hidden in this picturesque mountain wilderness.

Xishan Town is the only town in this area, where players can receive many quests, and the rewards of these quests are not as good as mercenary quests, but they are better than nothing, and being able to complete some quests while leveling up is also considered an additional reward. After Ye Fei got out of the carriage, he went around the town and took over these tasks, and then left Xishan Town and walked along a narrow path towards the mountains and forests.

The reason why Xishan is in danger is because in addition to all kinds of fierce beasts in this place, there are countless rogues and bandits wandering in the woods, just on a hill opposite Xishan Town, there is the nest of this group of bandits, and the mercenary tasks that Ye Fei received are also related to these bandits, basically how many bandits and rogues are killed, how many loot they get, etc., and the task he is doing now is also related to this group of bandits - missing sentinels.

There is a sentry post on the hill to the east of the town, which is set up in the town of West Hill to monitor the movements of the bandits on the opposite side, and two sentries take turns every day. But one of the sentries had gone missing the other day, and he had never returned after spending the night at the sentry, and the town's chief of the guard hoped that someone could go to the sentry post to find clues.

Such a quest is not a story quest, but a very ordinary quest that every player can accept, and all of them can be repeated countless times, which is purely a quest set up for players to level up.

Ye Fei followed the path to find the sentry post on the hill, the wooden sentry tower was very rough, a wooden door had been destroyed, broken wood was everywhere, and at the door of the sentry tower, there were some obvious huge footprints, which looked more like the footprints of some beasts.

On the side of the guard tower, there was also a heavily armed guard, and when he saw Ye Fei, this guard said in a thoughtful voice: "Nick must have been captured by the giant beasts in the mountain, look, the footprints on the ground must have been left by those giant beasts." ”

Ye Fei stepped forward and asked, "Who is Nick, is it the missing guard?" ”

Unexpectedly, the guard still muttered: "Nick must have been captured by the giant beast in the mountain......"

Ye Fei asked several times, and the answer he got was the same, and there were also players who came to do this task next to him and said enthusiastically: "This guy is a fool, it's useless to talk to him, you have to go to the sentry tower to find a broken badge, and then you can go back to the business, and then go to a nearby cave to kill a giant tiger, it's very simple." ”

As he said this, this player kept a faint smile on his face, a little smug. Ye Fei nodded: "Thank you." ”

"You're welcome, I also looked at the forum. Hehe, okay, you go to Zhao Badge, I'll flash first. ”

Ye Fei watched this player leave, and then glanced at the guard who was muttering to himself as if he had lost his mind, and a trace of doubt flashed in his heart, this guard was really just an ornament?

Shaking his head, Ye Fei walked into the inside of the watchtower, the place here is not big, and it is very messy, a bed used for rest was cut off at the waist, it seems to have been hit in the center by something like a heavy hammer, there are many knife marks on the wooden walls around it, and there are a lot of blood stains and traces left by claws, obviously there has been a fierce fight here. Under the fireplace, Ye Fei found a piece of shiny iron, and when he picked it up, he saw that it was indeed half a badge: "Broken badge (mission item): It looks like something left by Nick, maybe the chief of the guard can find some clues from this." ”

Ye Fei put away the badge, there was no doubt that this thing was indeed a clue, but the guards outside the door made him feel that things did not seem to be simple, he continued to search in the room, but found nothing, and then he set his eyes on the ladder leading to the second floor of the watchtower. Because of the fierce fighting that had taken place here, half of the ladder had been broken, and the other half was suspended from the high second floor.

Ye Fei grabbed the ladder and climbed to the second floor with a little force on his toes.

The second floor of the sentry post is not as messy as the first floor, it is just a place to observe the movement of bandits on the opposite hill, and through a small window, you can see some of the training and patrol of the bandits on the hill from a distance. Ye Fei looked at it for a while, but didn't find anything abnormal, and when he was about to leave, his eyes were suddenly attracted by a big tree with a crooked neck in the middle of the cliff on the side of the hill. The tree was very thick, growing out of the cliff, not up to the sky or the ground, growing alone on the cliff, but at this moment, a figure came out of the root of the crooked neck tree, walked to the treetops, carried a large bag of things from a huge basket, and staggered back to the root of the crooked neck tree, and the hanging basket was staggered back down the valley.

Ye Fei was stunned, how could someone appear in that place?

He carefully observed for a while, and suddenly found that the ropes and baskets on the crooked neck tree were usually hidden in the treetops, because by the shade of the leaves, basically nothing would be found, but every ten minutes, someone came out of the crooked neck tree to take things away, and disappeared after returning to the roots of the big tree.

"There's a problem, there's a problem!"

There must be a big cave behind the roots, there must be a cave in the back, there are caves in the mountains, and there is a steady stream of things being transported into it, so what is it that is being transported in? At the same time, what is it that is transported down the mountain, grain or something that cannot be seen? Ye Fei is almost certain that the disappearance of the sentry must be related to this matter, because of the special location of the sentry tower, so you can see the situation above, once you leave this sentry tower, or even leave this window, you can't see anything, is Nick killed because he found out about this situation?

Although Ye Fei couldn't be sure whether the situation over there had anything to do with Nick's disappearance, he had already decided to investigate it properly, anyway, he was going to do a mission near the bandits' camp, so he could just stop by and take a look.

Jumping down from the second floor and passing by the guards at the door, Ye Fei suddenly had a flash of inspiration, stared at the guard tightly and said softly: "Bandit, a huge amount of ore, did Nick find it?" ”

These were originally a few unrelated words, but as soon as this guard heard this, his expression immediately changed drastically, and he roared and pulled out the weapon in his hand and slashed at Ye Fei.

Ye Fei didn't expect that this guard would suddenly attack, so he hurriedly dodged the long sword in the opponent's hand sideways, and threw out three bombs.

Boom, boom, loud explosion, the guard's blood bar was blown off a small bit. Level 25 guards, although they are ordinary level, and their attack power is not strong enough, but their blood is still very thick. Ye Fei saw that he couldn't kill in seconds, so he scolded secretly, and could only dodge and attack at the same time, but this guard obviously belonged to a profession like a berserker, with a high attack power and a lot of blood, but his movements were too slow. Ye Fei clinged to his back tightly, the dagger in his hand flew quickly, and he carried the guard's earth-shaking blow every ten seconds, constantly depriving him of his health value, and when the amount of blood was not enough, he took out the life potion to replenish it.

-98、-67、MISS、MISS

Although Ye Fei's attack was sharp enough, the hit rate was not high. The difference in level between ordinary players and monsters is more than five levels, and the hit rate will be greatly reduced, not to mention the difference between Ye Fei and this guard by seven levels? Almost fifty percent of Ye Fei's attack was missed, and the excess of fifty percent also caused a lot of damage to this guard.

Nearly a minute later, when the guards had only a trace of blood left, they suddenly shouted loudly: "Spare your life, don't kill me, I tell you everything I know, please don't kill me!" ”

At this time, Ye Fei's attack state was suspended, and the effect of continuously reducing health on the guard's body was also erased, and his health bar turned green again and was unable to attack.

Ye Fei put away the dagger and snorted coldly: "Say, how did Nick disappear?" Don't lie to me with any nonsense, or I'll kill you! ”

The guard was so frightened that his legs went limp, and he shouted again and again: "I said, I said, Nick was not actually captured by the beast, but was brought back by the mountain bandits. ”
