The second volume is called "One Heart" Chapter 4: Death Together
Afeng and Xue Wuxia were still more than ten meters away from me, out of reach. Moreover, I was too close to the old silver wolf, so they didn't dare to attack with magic and bows and arrows for fear of hurting me by mistake. They couldn't provide effective support for the time being, so they could only speed up and rush over here.
Looking at the old silver wolf's bloody mouth getting closer and closer, I knew I was doomed. Although I was a little stronger than the skeleton warrior, two or three "wind blades" would be enough to kill me on the spot. Although I felt very sorry to suffer humiliation again, what I cared more about was that I could not stop it and let Afeng and the others complete the mission. Who knew that this monster was so intelligent and actually designed such a sinister plan.
The first "Wind Blade" has hit me, and my health points have been reduced by nearly half. I am no longer able to resist and can only seize the time and concentrate on absorbing its mental power, hoping that Afeng and the others can come to my rescue in time to avenge me.
It was strange. I saw the old silver wolf rushing towards me, opening and closing its big mouth at me, but I couldn't wait for the second "Wind Blade" attack. I couldn't help but wonder what happened to it. It seemed like it suddenly had kindness and wanted to let me go, but it didn't seem like it. Looking at its movements, it was obvious that it wanted to attack me. How could this be?
At this moment, the black mist shrouding the old silver wolf suddenly dissipated and quickly retracted into the "Touch of Death" in his left hand. The flickering black light also dimmed and returned to its normal color. Thinking back to the situation just now, it seemed that there was no warm current flowing back to me in the end. Could it be that the old silver wolf's mental strength has been exhausted and he can no longer use magic?
The old silver wolf's behavior also confirmed my guess. It gave up the effort to release the "Wind Blade" and pounced towards me, wanting to engage in hand-to-hand combat with me and win by strength.
Although I broke the old silver wolf's "Wind Blade", I was still no match for it in a hand-to-hand fight, not to mention that I only had half of my health left. I was afraid that it would kill me in two or three bites, and it would be able to escape by then. Without time to think, I shouted to Xue Wuxia and the others, "Quick, attack me!" At the same time, I activated the "One Ride Away from the Dust" skill at the old silver wolf, rushed towards it, and at the same time opened my arms to hug it.
This was also a helpless act that I had to act with in a hurry. I couldn't beat it but was unwilling to let it run away, so I simply sacrificed myself for the greater good. I first used the force of "Yiqijuechen" to offset part of the old silver wolf's momentum to avoid being knocked away by it, and then hugged it tightly to prevent it from escaping easily. Xue Wuxia and the others took the opportunity to attack. I was not afraid even if they hit me, because I was going to die anyway. I felt that I had gained something by being able to drag the old silver wolf on the road with me.
Everything went as I expected. Although the old silver wolf bit me, I held it tightly and it couldn't get away. Xue Wuxia and the others didn't hesitate and attacked immediately, using magic and archer skills. Yun Wuying also used the "spinning ice arrow" to deliver a "critical hit". I was killed on the spot and the old silver wolf was also hit in several places, screaming in pain. What made me feel more at ease when I left was that Afeng's whistling spear was approaching the old silver wolf, and it couldn't escape no matter what. I died a worthy death and my sacrifice was valuable.
I came to the "Dead Soul Space", and the rest was their business. The old silver wolf was already at the end of its strength, and it was a sure thing to kill it. Next, it was time to take on the second task. This task was also quite easy to complete. I completed the first task on the first day. I had to complete the remaining two tasks within fourteen days, which should be more than enough time!
Touching the artifact "Touch of Death" worn on his left hand, he was able to successfully complete the task this time, thanks to it. It uses 10% of its own health to trigger the "Sperm Absorption" and absorb the enemy's mental strength, which not only replenishes its own loss, but also reduces the enemy's skill attacks. It can be said to be an ability that kills two birds with one stone and has great practical value.
So after taming zombies, he constantly activated "sucking essence and devouring marrow" to replenish the loss of mental power, and no longer had to sit and wait for the natural recovery , which greatly accelerated the expansion of the undead army. As a special artifact for undead wizards and the royal item of the dead old man, "Touch of Death" has no restrictions in the "Dead Space". It no longer needs to be guided by health points and can be used arbitrarily to exert its maximum ability.
After logging off, I asked Afeng, and he said that they had successfully killed the old silver wolf and obtained the magic crystal stone. However, I didn't see the little silver wolf I mentioned. I don't know where it went. Maybe it grew up and went out on its own. It's a good thing that way. The little silver wolf is quite cute, and it indirectly helped me. I didn't have the heart to kill it.
Although they completed the first mission successfully, Afeng did not seem too happy when he said this. Instead, he looked worried and sad. They have already taken on the second mission, which is an adventure mission, and the difficulty is several times higher. We must cross the Black Bear Ridge and enter the territory of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, pass through the dark forest where monsters are rampant to reach the Howling Plains to find the ancient ruins with a teleportation array, and then activate the teleportation array according to the set procedure, which will serve as the base for the mercenary group we are about to establish.
We are only second-level professionals now. We can only kill monsters and level up in places like Black Bear Ridge and Heluo Grassland. We are okay against beasts like lions and black bears, but we are not qualified to challenge monsters. Especially since we have just seen the ability of the old silver wolf, we are no match for it alone. There are countless monsters more powerful than the old silver wolf hidden in the Hundred Thousand Mountains. Even if I summon the Undead Legion to escort us, four or five hundred skeleton warriors or a hundred zombies may not be of much use. For us now, the Hundred Thousand Mountains are still equivalent to a terrifying hell. If we go in alive, we may not be able to get out alive.
The mercenary mission is indeed not easy to complete. The second mission is already so abnormal. The difficulty of the third mission will increase. With our current strength, the possibility of completing it within fifteen days is very slim.
The mission has already started, and it is too late to quit. Even if it is a dangerous place, we must muster up the courage to move forward. I am still in the "Dead Soul Space" and cannot get out. I cannot join them for the time being. They have crossed the Black Bear Ridge and gathered at the edge of the Hundred Thousand Mountains. They are ready to go in and explore the way as soon as they go online to see if there is any place where they can take shortcuts. This mission can only be accomplished by wits, and it cannot be completed by force alone.
After returning to the "Dead Space", I continued to use the "Soul Contract" frantically to subdue zombies. When my mental power was insufficient, I used "Absorbing Essence and Devouring Marrow" to supplement it. After using it for a few times, I had already fallen in love with this glove. It was so helpful to me that it could almost support my continuous use of the "Soul Contract", which greatly accelerated my leveling speed. No wonder everyone attaches so much importance to the artifact. It is really a powerful prop. I don't need to try it for a month. If anyone dares to ask me to sell it again, I will be angry with him.
It was almost time for resurrection, so I stopped, patted Taotao's head affectionately, and played with it for a while. Pets cannot be treated like those low-level undead. You need to constantly communicate with them and increase the tacit understanding between each other, so that they can better obey the master's orders and command them as easily as an arm, giving full play to the pet's ability. If you treat pets badly or abuse them, even if you sign a "pet contract", they will be passive and lazy, and in serious cases they will even defect, unilaterally terminate the contract, and get out of your control. In the setting of "Tianxia", those who are qualified to become players' pets are intelligent and advanced creatures with independent thoughts and feelings, and need to be friendly and respected. Even if you sign a " pet contract", it does not mean that they will become slaves of the players.
After returning to the human world, he was about to send a message to Afeng and the others to ask where to meet them, but suddenly found that the system showed that except for Xiao Lajiao, the other eight people were dead and could not be contacted. What happened to make Afeng, Xue Wuxia and the others die together, without any escape? Are the Ten Thousand Mountains really that terrifying?
