Chapter 269: A Task Not to Be Underestimated
The old orc fetched water and asked the two to wash their faces briefly, Lu Kuan wiped a handful of water from his face and looked at the room quietly.
That's right, except that it's cleaned up a bit, it's exactly the same as the cabin in the previous life - and of course, there's an old orc.
But why did people go to the house here in the last life? Lu Kuan recalled carefully.
When I first came here...... It's not very late, at that time, players were generally level 25 or 26, and they had already opened the fifth layer of the cloud building in Danube Village, and on the side of the Elemental Heights, I don't know how many times they have been brushed back and forth.
Did someone trigger the quest and the NPC disappeared? Or is it a big boss turned into a human form and amused the player here?
Lu Kuan wasn't sure.
Of course, before determining the identity of the other party, there is no hurry to investigate, Lu Kuan is well versed in the tricks of dealing with NPCs, and after chatting with the old orc for a few words, he has already become acquainted.
According to the old orc, his name is Saruto, and he is an adventurer from the Southern Silver Dragon Empire, who traveled far and wide as a young man before settling in the Elemental Highlands.
"I see,"
Lu Kuan nodded suddenly, and he didn't know if he believed the old orc's words, and said with a smile: "It's fate that we met, I don't know if there is anything we can help?" ”
The old orc smiled, and the thick braid on the back of his head swayed: "It's a coincidence, and I just need your help with something." ”
"System prompt: Trigger quest 'Dry Vegetable Garden (C+)'
My garden is going to die.
There has always been plenty of rain near Shuisheng Lake, so there is no need to worry about irrigation, but lately, the weather in the Elemental Highlands has become more and more severe, and it has not rained for three weeks.
And the wind blew for a week!
Go to the Lake of Water Sound to collect some water, but remember, adventurers, ordinary water is not enough, it must be living water from the water elemental.
Only living water, which has the power of the water elemental, can water the plants on the elemental heights.
Current Mission Progress: Energy Living Water 0/20"
At the first glance of this task, Lu Kuan pursed his lips and couldn't help but scold himself in his heart for being a fool.
Why don't you inquire before you come?
No wonder no one came here to brush the water elemental particles, it had been windy for a long time, and the other four highland players must have been waiting to see themselves and the compass's jokes.
Putting away his thoughts, Lu Kuan stood up and said, "No problem, it's on us!" ”
With that, Lu Kuan said goodbye to the old orc, and went out of the house with the compass, until he was far away from the hut, the compass came over, and his face showed a disappointed look.
"I thought it was an adventure mission, and I made a fuss for a long time to let us water the vegetables......"
"Hey, don't underestimate this old man who grows vegetables,"
Lu Kuan knew what the other party was thinking as soon as he saw the paladin's expression, grinned, and asked while sharing the task with the compass: "Did you pay attention just now, the old orc's chest, near the neck, has a tattoo." ”
Compass was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "I saw it, but it only showed a little, and I couldn't see anything." ”
"That's the totem of the Dumb Mountain Orcs." Lu Kuan looked up at the sky covered by the black wind and said in a low voice.
"Dumb Mountain...... Yes! I know! Compass's mind spun around and he quickly remembered.
The Dumb Mountain is a mountain, but also a legendary territory, south of the Silver Dragon Empire, in the middle of the Continent of the Gods, this map is named after a desolate mountain range in the center.
It is the home of all the orcs in the Continent of the Gods, and the bloodline of all the half-orcs can definitely be traced back to the Dumb Mountain in the end.
The most famous of the orc tribes, except for the brave orc berserkers, are the shamans who wield the power of the elements, and they are no less powerful and famous than mages.
This is all the information that the north needle can remember, and the paladin scratched his head and wondered: "And then, Brother Lu, what do you see?" ”
Lu Kuan shook his head: "I can only see that it is the totem of the Dumb Mountain, because the pattern shape is very special, and the others can't be seen for the time being, but ...... Saruto was by no means a wandering traveler, as he himself claimed. ”
"Because every shaman is the spiritual leader of the tribe, and even the core combat power, almost every shaman will die in the tribe, so how can he have time to run around?"
Speaking of this, Lu Kuan looked back at the swaying lights, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly.
The more suspense, the better, and the greater the value of the task~
At this time, the wind had already decreased a lot, and the two of them returned to the narrow stone crevice to wait, at this time Lu Kuan habitually looked at the message manager and found that Master Hong had actually sent 7 unread messages.
Lu Kuan looked at it roughly, and replied to Master Hong with a smile: "I'm sorry Grand Master, I was doing a task just now, how is it, have you found your way?" ”
After waiting for a while, Master Hong sent a message: "I found it, but these trolls are too annoying and endless...... I admire you more and more, how did you find this place in the first place? ”
"Hehe, I'm sorry, I rode a velociraptor over." Seeing that Master Hong still wanted to talk to himself, Lu Kuan smiled and said.
Master Hong was choked enough, and only after a while did he sigh and say, "Okay, I talk a lot, but I really want to know, how long will it take for you to be willing to do the business of velociraptors?" ”
"No hurry, no hurry~"
Lu Kuan snorted, brushed the topic aside, and said: "By the way, don't be tough with the trolls, leave quickly after killing a wave, the ghost weather of the night crater will become night at any time, and when the time comes, you will be surrounded by nocturnal trolls, don't look for me~"
Hearing Lu Kuan talk about the nocturnal troll, Master Hong's heart was also tight, the claws and teeth of the nocturnal troll were highly poisonous, and it was definitely a big killer for players who were now less than level 20.
After chatting a few more words, Lu Kuan hung up the call directly, and Master Hong heard the prompt of "call over", so he suddenly slapped his head: Damn, I was surrounded by this kid again, didn't I talk about the velociraptor just now?
……
The gale came and went quickly, and after more than ten minutes, the sky above the Elemental Heights had returned to its original blue color.
The next thing the two of them slaughtered was to slaughter the water elemental even harder, and at this time, the water elemental also began to drop a new item - energetic living water, a fist-sized, crystal clear water mass, like a transparent balloon filled with water.
The only thing that made the two of them angry was that this thing had a very low drop rate, and before seeing the first living water group, the two of them had killed the water elemental for two hours, and they had obtained 4 or 5 of the water of origin.
Compass couldn't help but complain: "At this rate, we have completed the task of Danube Village, and we can't make up 20." ”
Lu Kuan thinks it's very good, now I'm not afraid that the task is difficult, I'm afraid that I can't find the task, the players' levels are slowly catching up, if you can't keep walking in the leading position, all the good tasks will be snatched away by others.
The good news is that the two missions don't delay each other, which is what players love the most.
