"Adventurer, that's why I asked you for the gem."

Tao Bo half-knelt beside the saber-toothed tiger, gently stroked the soft fur of the saber-toothed tiger, changed the style of the previous hippie smile, and said in a deep voice: "This is my pet, and I am also the guardian beast of Qingshui Village." ”

Lu Kuan nodded, but did not make a sound, he was still frowning, trying to think.

Lu Kuan also knew that this saber-toothed tiger was called "Lightning", which was a pet that had lived with Tao Bo for more than 20 years, and was also the patron saint of Qingshui Village.

Because of this, Lu Kuan felt more pressured.

Because when Lu Kuan participated in this mission in the previous life, it was already the end of the mission, and at that time, Lightning had long since died, and Tauber's pet had been replaced by a shadow howler wolf that was not yet an adult.

In Lu Kuan's memory, the mission of Qingshui Village was a large-scale serial mission, and many players of the Lava Castle, including Lu Kuan, participated.

Of course, the player who triggered the mission at the beginning and was also the core of the entire mission was the main member of a big guild, and this kind of good thing would not be the turn of an ordinary player like Lu Kuan.

The difficulty of this task is extremely high, and the players involved before and after are close to 100 people, and at the end of the mission, Lu Kuan witnessed the final battle from afar, Tao Bo fought to the death in order to resist the beasts, and Qingshui Village was also flattened by monsters.

Although later, the players helped the residents of Qingshui Village avenge the revenge and also received the task reward from the Lord of Lava Castle, this ending was not satisfactory after all, leaving eternal regret in the hearts of many people.

"Now, is it possible for me to change the plot development of the mission through hard work?" Lu Kuan couldn't help but think.

Because Lu Kuan clearly remembered that when he completed this task in the previous life, the overall completion rate of the plot was less than 50%, indicating that the core players of the task at that time were still far from achieving a happy ending.

"What kind of adventurer, what conditions do you have, just say it."

Tao Bo's voice interrupted Lu Kuan's memories, Lu Kuan stood up, faced Tao Bo, and said with a smile: "Coincidentally, I also like animals very much, this gem should be my gift to Lightning~"

As he spoke, Lu Kuan took out the "Sacred Cage" from his backpack and handed it to the other party.

Tao Bo had already prepared the things to be exchanged, but he didn't expect Lu Kuan's attitude to change so quickly, he was stunned for a moment, and solemnly bowed to Lu Kuan and thanked him: "May Mei Likai protect you, adventurer, I thank you for the lightning." ”

Mei Likai is the ranger goddess in "Echoes of the Gods", one of the most popular gods, seeing Tao Bo so solemn, Lu Kuan also bowed slightly in return.

Without delay, Tauber turned around and placed the gem on the saber-toothed tiger's front paws.

The milky white light of the gemstone spread outward, slowly purifying the toxins in the white light range, and after a few minutes, the color around the wound seemed to have a tendency to lighten, and even the sleeping saber-toothed tiger sensed it, and the huge head moved slightly.

Tauber's face immediately showed joy, but soon, an even richer layer of black spread from the wound, far exceeding the speed of the gem's purification, and extending up along the right paw of the saber-toothed tiger, as if it was spreading towards the torso.

Lu Kuan was not surprised, if he could detoxify so easily, he would not be worthy of being called a large-scale serial mission.

Tauber's face was slightly gloomy, and the look of disappointment was palpable.

"Tauber, this gem is placed here first, and it can be used to some extent,"

Lu Kuan thought for a while and asked, "I also want to do my part to get rid of the poison of lightning as soon as possible, can you tell me what happened?" ”

Seeing that Lu Kuan was so generous, Tao Bo's face finally showed a smile, and he thanked Lu Kuan again, while instructing his subordinates to take good care of Lightning, while inviting Lu Kuan to return to the town together, talking as he walked.

"Four days ago, Lightning was bitten by something in the water when he went to the lake to play, and in just four days, it weighed less than half of its original weight."

Speaking of this, Tauber couldn't help but sigh: "Lightning has followed me for many years, I am very alert, and I also have a certain resistance to toxins, and this attack on lightning is definitely not ordinary." ”

"Didn't see anything biting? When you first got injured, didn't you see any bite marks? Lu Kuan asked, refusing to let go of every detail.

Tauber shook his head and said: "It was evening, I was too far away from the lightning, and when I ran over when I didn't feel right, the lightning was already unconscious, if it wasn't for my little understanding of the druid's spells, I'm afraid the lightning would have been ...... at that time."

Lu Kuan nodded while listening, and recorded all the details in detail in the player log.

The top priority at the moment is to quickly determine the type of poisoning, but "poison identification" is a very remote identification specialty, and I don't know if there are appraisers in Lava Castle who are good at this.

In the game, the appraiser is not omniscient, just as forging is divided into two basic specializations: armor and weapons, and armor is divided into several specializations such as heavy armor, light armor, and shields, and the appraiser must also choose one or several specializations to focus on.

For example, the chief appraiser of the Lava Castle, Old Blind, as far as Lu Kuan knew, the identification fields that this old fish-man was good at included strange objects, otherworldly materials, and magical weapons.

Now Lu Kuan has somewhat understood, why the ending of Qingshui Village in the previous life was so tragic, let's just say the first step of this task, in such a small city as Lava Castle, it is really difficult to find a "counterpart" talent who is good at identifying poisons.

"Please send someone to fetch some lightning blood,"

Lu Kuan looked at the time and said decisively to Tao Bo: "I'll go back to the lava castle and see if I can find someone to find out what kind of poison it is." ”

"Thank you, adventurer." Tao Bo nodded at Lu Kuan in thanks.

At the same time, Lu Kuan also received a system prompt.

"You have gained Tauber's opinion, and Tauber's opinion of you is +1"

"You have taken the quest '100,000 Urgent (Difficulty B)'"

Lu Kuan could see that although Tao Bo's gratitude was genuine, he didn't attach much importance to himself.

It's normal to think about it, Lu Kuan is only level 12 now, and in Tao Bo's opinion, he is no different from a child, what can he do?

"I can't thank you for leaving the gem here to alleviate the pain of lightning, what you need me to do, as long as I can do it, I will try to satisfy you." Tauber continued.

"Nothing, you don't have to care......"

Lu Kuan waved his hand and just wanted to refuse, but suddenly remembered something, his heart moved, and he immediately changed his words: "But speaking of which, there is really something that you may need your help with...... Qingshuizhai has lived here for generations, so you must know the dark grass, right? ”

"Of course, that's a kind of aquatic weed that we use, and it's the best material for making leather boots and bags." Tauber replied without even thinking about it.
