Chapter 12 It Turns Out that This Is the Mission Goal

After we had questions, the staff started to explain to us why we didn't need to worry about what happened next, and the reason was surprisingly simple.

According to the intelligence sent back by General Qiman, the Demon King is currently facing the challenge of another demon clan. The conflict between the two demon clans has become irresolvable, which means that a war will break out soon. A population war will break out between the demon king and the demon king. After such a battle, even if the current demon king is the winner, his strength will inevitably drop significantly, and then the guests of General Qiman will You can go and behead the Medicine King, and then you can eliminate the threat of the Demon King once and for all.

I don't have much doubts about General Qiman's judgment, but what I don't understand very much is how they obtained such information. You must know that monsters and humans are two completely different groups. Although there is some communication between the two, they are not particularly close contacts, so it will be extremely difficult to investigate the other party's information. For example, if monsters want to investigate human intelligence, it would be better. After all, monsters know the art of transformation. As long as they change into human form, they don't have to worry about being betrayed unless they encounter some powerful people. But it is extremely difficult for humans to spy on monsters. Firstly, few humans are capable of shape-shifting, and secondly, most monsters have good noses and can smell human scent from hundreds of meters away, even if they hide them. The third is that once the target is exposed, the monster can escape quickly. It is easy to run away first, but most humans will be buried in the monster's belly.

Such a high level of difficulty and such a high cost. Therefore, it is really difficult for humans to obtain information about monsters. However, General Qiman not only obtained the information, but it also seemed to be quite comprehensive, which is not normal.

"How do you know these things?"

"Of course it was the report from my spies." General Qiman said.

Jin Coin looked up and down at General Qiman in confusion, and then asked, "Are you a monster?"

Qiman obviously didn't understand the meaning of Jin Coin's words, and then asked in confusion: "Why do you ask like that?"

"It's very simple, because it's almost impossible for humans to get information about monsters, but you know it, so the biggest possibility is that you are not a human but a monster."

Qiman immediately laughed when he heard this. "I said that my spies can get information about demons, but did I say that my spies are human?"

"Eh..." Jin Coin was stunned by the question. And we all responded. yes. It is indeed not easy for humans to find out about demons. But if it's the demon who wants to get information about the demon, it's different. But then again, how could a human lord have a demon spy?

When we asked our doubts, Qiman replied directly: "Actually, he can't be regarded as a spy. It should be said that he is a traitor that I bribed. This demon made an agreement with me. He can sell information to me. That's why I can know about the demon. matter."

"You made an agreement with the devil?" We were surprised to hear such an answer. But it's not difficult to understand. The character of monsters is also very complex. The body of a monster can be anything, so they can have all kinds of personalities after they become monsters. There is perseverance and perseverance in it. Naturally, there are also types of wallflowers. And the person General Qiman bought was probably a selfish type who loved petty gains.

Now that the source of the information has been determined, the rest is simple. Just bring in the people who sent the relatives from outside. If they didn't know the situation before, of course they had to rescue them. But since they set the fire themselves and the purpose was to cheat their own death, they naturally couldn't take them out. They could only take the people outside as well. Pull in.

Zhenhong and I were of no help when it came to bringing people in. In the end, it was Gold Coin and Christina who took action to bring everyone in. However, Christina and Gold Coin wasted a lot of magic power because of this incident. , I feel a bit shortchanged!

However, our mood soon turned into excitement, because after we took the escort team into the underground shelter, General Qiman actually took out a small box and handed it to me.

"This is...?" I was quite surprised when I looked at the miniature wooden box in my hand that looked like a small cosmetic box. Even though this thing looks exactly the same as the large wooden box that was common in ancient times, its size is much smaller, and it can probably only fit an apple.

Such a small box, even if it is filled with gold, silver or gems, is not scary. After all, it is only so big. No matter how high the value of ordinary things is, it will not be that amazing. Besides, it is really a high-end item that General Qiman will probably not be willing to give. us.

After handing the box to my hand, General Qiman began to say: "This was given to me by the demon I traded with. It is said to be a very precious medicine. Unfortunately, neither of us knows it, and we don't know if it is really precious." Precious. But you are all experts and well-informed, so this kind of thing may be useful to you. You have helped us so much this time, so I give this to you as a thank you."

"Then you're welcome. Thank you for your generosity." Jin Coin, a cheap guy, grabbed the small box and opened it without caring about politeness. If I were myself, I would definitely not look at the gift in front of others, but since it had been opened, I took a look at it and found that there was a row of black spherical objects inside, which looked a lot like pills.

After discovering that this thing was probably a medicine, I quickly took it over and used the identification technique to identify it. The properties I saw made me almost stop to express my real reaction.

In fact, the things in this box are indeed medicines, and they are special medicines for buff tasks. You must know that all takeaway medicines cannot be used in this buff mission, and the only ones that can take effect here are the special medicines obtained in the mission. Such restrictions force us to be careful and save every day in this mission. A little magic power, isn't it because you are afraid that in case of battle, the magic power is not enough? However, with these medicines in front of us. Although I cannot say that there will be no problems, at least I can say that our safety factor has been greatly improved.

In fact, the box contained not all one kind of medicine, but a total of three types, eight pills in total.

Five of these eight pills are blood-restoring potions, and one can increase blood volume by about 200 points. Under normal circumstances, we would not even look at this supplementary amount, but if such a pill falls on the ground, before knowing its properties, it is estimated that most players will treat a dime on the ground as if it were real. Same, I am too lazy to pick it up. However, that is under normal conditions without any restrictions. At this time, all attributes in the buff mission we are in have been reduced. This also includes damage done to us by our enemies. After all if only our properties dropped. The enemies are all at a level of several thousand levels, so there is no need to complete the mission. Everyone can just surrender. Therefore, the enemy's combat effectiveness has actually been reduced. It’s just that the decline is not as much as ours. so. In this case, even if we are attacked, the loss of health should be very small, and these 200 points of blood replenishment are enough. Compared with the amount of blood loss here, it is not that small. At least one pill occasionally is enough to meet the needs of medium-intensity battles.

Although the blood-replenishing pills have great effects, relatively speaking, the five blood-restoring pills are the least valuable among the eight pills, because the remaining three pills are more effective.

Two of the remaining three pills are magic replenishing potions, and the replenishing amount has reached 500 points, which is definitely a very big number. Moreover, unlike the five blood-replenishing potions, this is an instant recovery potion.

Those five health recovery potions are all delayed recovery potions. They will only restore half of the total value instantly after swallowing them. That is, they will add 100 points of health to you at once, and the remaining 100 points will be added to your health. It will be added to you slowly within the next twenty seconds. Although this recovery method is considered good among blood recovery potions, compared with the instant recovery potion that can completely restore all potency values ​​instantly after swallowing it, this is still a little weak. The two magic restoration potions are instant recovery potions. As long as you take them, they will immediately fill you with 500 magic points.

Although the requirement for instantaneous recovery of magic power is not as urgent as life recovery, it is better to be able to recover instantly than to replenish it slowly. In addition, the amount of body replenishment is very large, so these two magic recovery potions definitely exceed the two life recovery potions. value.

As for the last pill left in the box... I think the value of this pill even exceeds the combined value of the previous seven pills, because it is a "comprehensive purification potion."

The so-called purification medicine is not a medicine recognized by the system, but refers to all medicines that can get rid of negative states. As for the comprehensive purification potion, as the name suggests, it is a potion that can completely remove all negative conditions.

If it is in normal mode, the use of this potion will be very narrow, because the probability of being affected by negative attributes in normal games is actually not very high, and most players have one or two resistance abilities, even if they are really touched If you encounter an enemy with a curse ability, you may not necessarily be hit. As for talking about a few of us, let’s not talk about it. Being able to curse ourselves is not an easy thing, so I have almost never used this kind of purification potion. Besides, among the magic pets around me, there are experts like Xiao Chun who can purify negative attributes, so naturally there is no need for these. Something.

However, now we are not in a normal mission, but in a buff mission, and we already know that all enemies in this buff mission have buff attributes. What is this buff attribute? Isn’t it just the attributes of various status classes? Curse is the most common status attribute, so a comprehensive purification potion that can cleanse all curses is definitely much more precious than those blood-replenishing potions or magic-replenishing potions in this buff mission.

In fact, this is not the only precious thing about this comprehensive purification pill, because this pill actually has a delayed protection function. As long as you take this pill, not only will all status attributes on your body be cleared instantly, but it will also ensure that you will not be affected by attributes such as curses for a period of time. This is equivalent to turning on the curse to be invalid for a period of time. In such a buff mission, such an attribute is definitely an unimaginable good thing.

The people who came to us to help General Qiman and those who sent the bride-to-be were just doing a useless job. Unexpectedly, there were more than just benefits. It's really an unexpected surprise that it's so generous.

After checking the properties of all these medicines, I quickly expressed my gratitude to General Qiman, and then prepared to leave. Unexpectedly, General Qiman actually gave me another small surprise.

"Wait a moment."

"Anything else?"

"It's like this." General Qiman said: "I suddenly remembered that some of you seem to be pretty good in strength. Maybe you can help me with something. Of course, I am hiring you to help, and you will be paid."

"Let's talk about it first. Of course we will help you if we think we can."

"It shouldn't be a difficult thing for you." General Qiman said, "Didn't I say before that the Demon King is being threatened by foreign demons recently?"

"Yes, is your mission related to this?"

"Yes." He nodded and said, "I hope you can sneak in when the two demon clans are fighting. Then destroy the soul collector established by the demon king and the imprisoned souls."

"What is that thing you are talking about?"

"The soul collector is a device that can absorb souls. But it is not a one-on-one collection, but a collection of the souls of all living creatures in a certain area. These soul-absorbed creatures will continue for a period of time Loss of soul energy until complete death. During this process, due to the continuous decline in soul strength, the absorbed person will show various behavioral abnormalities. Most people will self-mutilate and die before their souls are sucked dry. It is very evil. "

"Has your village been absorbed as well?"

"That's not true. If it was really absorbed, I wouldn't be able to stand here. It is said that the absorber can only absorb life forms from other worlds and cannot be used in our world."

As soon as I heard Qi Man say such words, my mind immediately jumped to the haunted village we encountered before entering here. Obviously, that village was the target of being absorbed, and the last wish of the last survivor in the village we received at that time was to help them escape. If we contact Qiman Mission, our mission clue will be clear. It seems that as long as the device is destroyed, our buff mission can be completed.

However, the content of this mission always felt a little off to me. The God of War told us before that according to the information provided by the system, the starting difficulty of the buff mission is the advanced difficulty, and there are no easy missions. However, our current mission only requires us to sneak in and destroy something when the opponent is fighting, and that's it. This seems a bit too simple, right? How much energy can the other party have to take care of that device when a whole clan war breaks out? If there is no one to guard it, let alone us, even a few ordinary players can easily handle it, right?

If you think about it this way, the content of this mission is inconsistent with the information we actually obtained. Either the intelligence is wrong, or there are other hidden contents in the mission that we don't know about, and this hidden content may be the difficulty of this mission.

Although we don’t know what this hidden danger is, no matter what the danger is, we can only bite the bullet. We can’t give up the mission just because of the danger, right?

"We can accept this mission, but we need intelligence support. We need to know all the intelligence you know about these two demonic forces."

"no problem."

In the following time, General Qiman began to tell us the information he knew about the demons on both sides.

It has to be said that as the leader of the Demon King, General Qiman has really collected a lot of information about the Demon King these days, but in contrast, he really doesn’t know much about the demon clan that is about to go to war with the Demon King. . After all, the alien monster clan came from somewhere else and has not had any actual contact with Qiman and the others so far. General Qiman was already far-sighted if he knew about the existence of such a force. Naturally, he cannot be expected to be professional. Spend your energy investigating the situation of that demon clan.

Although the intelligence is only for the demon king here, after all, the things we need to destroy are the demon king's things, so knowing the situation on this side is basically the same. As for the other side's situation, it is naturally better to have it, not to have it. It doesn't have much impact either.

After getting all the information, we started to take action. As for the plan... Anyway, we just took advantage of the chaos to sneak in. By then, it will definitely be a mess. All plans will definitely be useless, and we can only improvise.

Speaking of which, although this mission is ours, we cannot control the execution progress ourselves, because we need to wait for the other party to start to be confused before we can start. This determines that we cannot start the mission on our own initiative, otherwise we will rush in first. It's not a melee between the other side and foreign races, but a melee between us and them. Even if the four of us are relatively strong in combat, we can't be stupid and rush in to die, right? According to General Qiman's information, the opponent has a huge group of more than 200 adult demons. The four of us might be able to kill many of the opponent's people if we rush forward, but in the end we will definitely be unlucky. Therefore, this kind of thing needs to be done in a hurry.

However, although we have to wait for the opportunity, "Zero" is a game after all, and the system cannot really let players wait for NPCs, so I estimate that as long as we arrive near the mission location, it will definitely happen within half an hour. The monster melee incident is an inevitable setting for any game. Therefore, we did not really wait for news here, but directly returned to the village we left before. (To be continued...)
