Chapter 38 - Ying
The village in front of me didn't seem to have any life now, probably because of the evil tiger. Yi Ling put away the residual blood and walked forward step by step. When Yi Ling walked to a well, he found an old man standing there with a cane, and Yi Ling decided to step forward and ask for the way to Baishan.
Yi Ling walked over and patted the old man on the shoulder, and said, "Old man, may I ask Shangbai...... Mountain ......" Yi Ling's words stopped, because he met a pair of gray-black eyes. That gray-black, not the gray-black that comes from mental malaise. This old man must have suffered some kind of huge blow...... Perhaps, his relatives died at the hands of that evil tiger......
"......" The gray-black eyes stared at Yi Ling deadly, without any other movement......
"Old Man's ......"
"……"
'Khan, what's going on...... Yi Ling felt depressed in his heart, and suddenly thought of something, and then, he took out a firework from his backpack that he bought from 'Ruhua'. Yi Ling was holding a firework in his left hand and a lighter in his right hand, only to hear the sound of 'boom'~, the fireworks exploded, and a burst of light shone in front of the old man.
After the light disappeared, Yi Ling looked at the old man's eyes again, the gray and black were still ...... Moreover, tears welled up in his eyes.
"Old man...... You, what's wrong with you?" There are not many things that Yi Ling is afraid of, and one of them is tears.
"Grandson, my grandson!" The old man's tears finally came out of his eyes.
Yi Ling shuddered and said, "Old man, I'm not your grandson......"
"Grandson, my grandson! Save my grandson!"
"(~_~; Old man, what's wrong with your grandson. "
The old man put down his crutches and said in a pleading tone: "Last night, just last night, my grandson and I were sleeping in bed. Suddenly, the candle light in the house suddenly went out, and then I noticed that my grandson, who was still lying in my arms, was gone. I immediately got out of bed and found a huge tiger carrying my grandson on its back...... I picked up the shovel next to me and prepared to step forward, but before I could reach it, it turned into a black light with my grandson and disappeared...... The people in the village said that the giant tiger was the one that hurt people a few days ago...... I beg you, save my grandson...... Even if it's just his corpse......"
"Black!?" Yi Ling lowered his head and pondered for a while.
"Ding...... Do you accept the hidden mission 'Request of the Chief of Taiping Village'?"
"…… Anyway, it's all about that evil tiger...... Moreover, he is also a village chief...... I'll pick it up!"
"Ding...... You have successfully accepted the hidden quest 'Request of the Chief of Taiping Village'. "
The request of the head of Taiping Village
Nature of Mission: Hidden, Unique
Requirements: Retrieve the grandson of the head of Taiping Village (live or die)
Reward: Unknown
Mission duration: 3 days
Task punishment: Do not step into Taiping Village for half a step in the future
"Damn, this mission punishes ...... I must come here in the future......" Yi Ling looked at the head of Taiping Village in front of him, and asked again: "How old is your grandson?" What are the characteristics, what clothes were worn when they disappeared. "
"He's 4 years old, and he's about the length of your calf...... He has a mark on his head, next to his left ear...... Clothes...... Red shirt and yellow shorts. The village chief of Taiping Village looked at Yi Ling with eager eyes again.
"Well, where is the way up the mountain, I'll try to bring back your grandson."
The head of Taiping Village pointed to a direction at the foot of the mountain with his right index finger and said, "That road is the closest...... It's up to you......" After speaking, the village chief of Taiping Village fell to the ground, Yi Ling hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and he ran to the door of a house on his back.
"Open the door! Your village chief has fainted! Hurry up and open the door!" Yi Ling stood at the door and shouted, and soon, there was movement in the house, and immediately after, the door was opened. It's an old man!
"Sir, help it to bed and rest!"
"Village, village chief, what's wrong with you?!" It could be seen that the village chief was very good, because the people of their village were very anxious when they saw him pass out.
"Let him go in and rest, I need to get your village chief's grandson back as soon as possible, so he will get better!" Yi Ling carried the village chief on his back and led the old man to a bedside.
Yi Ling put down the village chief and was just about to go up the mountain, when he was stopped by the old man: "You really want to find that evil tiger?"
"Yes, not only for your village chief, but also for some of my own things......"
"Looks like you're a warrior from another world...... Although you are also doing something for yourself, I still feel ...... Did you know that the evil tiger is fairy-level? "
"Yes." Yi Ling didn't leave in a hurry, because he seemed to feel something.
"You're brave, but I want to know why you're here."
"This, personal selfishness." Indeed, Yi Ling came here because he wanted to wipe out his reputation and build a house by the Broken Dust Lake. But to build a house by the Broken Dust Lake, you must get the approval of the five emperors...... Completing this quest will allow him to gain the recognition of one of the Emperors.
"Can you tell me?"
"This ...... No, but I'll show you this!" Yi Ling neatly took out the amnesty token and put it in his hand.
"This, this, this! Amnesty Token!" The old man's hand began to shake a little, because this token was the only one in the world. And at this moment, it appeared in front of his eyes.
"I don't have to know about heroes...... I didn't expect to see this token again in my lifetime, and in the hands of such a young man...... Hope I can help you, hero, wait for me. With that, the old man ran into a room.
"What will he give me? Equipment or props?" Yi Ling's heart was full of anticipation, because every time someone said that they would give him something, it was all good. Except for the Ring of Calamity given to him by Mo Xiaobei...... Not a good thing, at least for now......
Before Yi Ling could wait, the old man walked out with a scroll.
"Hero, this is what my master left me from the past, and I wanted to use it myself, but I thought that I was old and would soon live in the earth. But I don't want to dishonor this scroll, so I must give it to someone who won't dishonor it...... You're the first person I've ever met to receive an amnesty token at such a young age, so, I'm sure you won't insult it. With that, the old man handed the scroll glowing with a faint blue light to Yi Ling.
Yi Ling took the scroll and looked at its attributes.
Profit: Temporarily increase your speed, reaction, and focus by 300% when you use it, and you can use it for 5 minutes every day for × of your own level, without consumption. The effect can be turned off at any time while in use.
The name of the skill is only one word - Ying. Yi Ling did have a feeling of lightness after taking over, and his speed, reaction, and concentration increased by 300%, which was indeed a powerful skill for Yi Ling, who was currently low in blood. After using Yi Ling, you will definitely get a more powerful effect!
"Hero, I think that evil tiger should be related to the demons......"
"Did it disappear as a wisp of black light when it left?" Yi Ling frowned lightly and said lightly.
"It turns out that the hero already knows...... That's right, my master was on the mission of exorcising demons during his lifetime, and once introduced to me that in this world, only demons teleport when it is black light. The rest, even if it's a beast, it's white......"
"What do you mean?"
"That evil tiger is controlled by the demons."
"Is there a demon on the White Mountain?"
"Maybe...... Either way, heroes have to be careful, even if you have infinite lives. "
"…… Can you tell me why there are demons in this world?"
"Hero, I don't know exactly, if the hero really wants to know, then I'll say it. I just listened to what the master said, and not many people know about it. The old man sorted out his thoughts for a moment and began to say: "About 1,000 years ago, the sky of our Huaxia Continent was suddenly torn apart by a huge opening, and a lot of black monsters flew out of the mouth, and when they fell to the ground, they turned into short and thin 'people', and then, a lot of people wearing white armor flew out of that mouth, and they eliminated almost all the monsters, which was later called demons. After killing the demons, those people in white armor told us that those things were demon creeps, and if they found that there were any leftovers, they had to be dealt with, because they were particularly capable of reproducing. With that, they flew back to the opening and vanished. And then after a few days, the opening in the sky was gone...... Hero, that's all I know, I hope it can help you. "
"Thanks, I think I know a little bit about demons...... Then you are optimistic about the village chief, I will go up the mountain. I'll be back. After Yi Ling finished speaking, he stepped out of his steps.
Looking at the back of Yi Ling leaving, the old man said: "Hero, all this depends on you......"
As soon as Yi Ling walked out, he summoned the remnants of blood and ran all the way to the top of the mountain. The road up the mountain is not very steep, but there are many trees and unknown plants that greatly obstruct people's view.
"...... How can I ......find this master," Yi Ling sighed depressedly, and continued to search for the traces of the evil tiger.
"Master."
"What's wrong, remnant blood?"
"My nose can sense the scent of demons."
"Really, how could you have such skills?"
"Because the master also rode me when he fought against the demons in his previous life. So I'm particularly sensitive to the smell of demons. "
"…… You might as well take me straight to that location. "
"Strange, there's a place here, there's a lot of demonic energy......"
"Go, just go there!"
