Chapter 257 Despair and the Desperate Villagers

Wu Yan calmed down.

He has experienced too many tasks, and there are many hidden secrets behind many tasks.

He waited until Mu Yun's mood calmed down before continuing to ask, "Is this strange beast very strong?"

Mu Yun also realized that his emotions fluctuated too much, and Wu Yan was also their benefactor.

He calmed down his heart, and then said seriously, "Master Mage, the alien beasts here are not ordinary beasts. The alien beasts that attacked our village may be several times more powerful than the alien beasts you have encountered.",

Wu Yan started to guide the conversation, "Then why don't you consider relocating the village?"

Mu Yun showed a wry smile, "If we move, we will die faster."

"Besides, you also saw the monster in the ice cellar underground just now."

"Every monster down there is no weaker than an alien beast."

Wu Yan nodded. Just looking at the size of the frozen monster, it was impressive.

He felt like he was looking at skyscrapers from below. Even though these monsters were frozen, the feeling of oppression was quite strong.

"Just...don't try again?" Obviously, this task is stuck here and cannot be continued.

He doesn't even have any information about the alien beasts now. If he really wants to be as powerful as the White Whale, it would be a bit troublesome for him to do it alone.

Mu Yun smiled bitterly. He lifted up the half of my missing arm and said, "I gave this arm to that monster right in front of me."

"I would never dream of trying again."

"It's useless. The monster is too powerful. We can't resist it at all."

Wu Yan felt a little upset. Such a strong man seemed to be intimidated from beginning to end.

Never thought of trying them all.

Wu Yan walked out of the house to get some air.

It’s a bit difficult to get information from Mu Yun’s mouth.

He looked at the people around him. Most of the people left behind were old people, women and children, which made him feel sad.

And he saw a trembling boy looking at him in fear,

About 9 years old, with curly hair similar to Mu Yi's, brown eyes full of fear,

Most importantly, the boy is a full-bodied human being.

He made a gesture from a distance, beckoning Wu Yan to come over.

Wu Yan pointed to his nose in surprise and said softly, "Looking for me?".

The little boy nodded heavily!

It’s not surprising to be talked to by an NPC.

But being spoken to by a boy in such a dilapidated and deserted village seemed a bit out of place.

Wu Yan walked over, thinking that the boy would tell him some important information.

But it was completely different from what he thought,

The boy's big frightened eyes were full of fear, and he still had the courage to say,

"Master Mage...Master, can you leave quickly? Don't stay in our village."

"No more help from anyone, we don't need anyone in our village."

Wu Yan's heart suddenly went cold. It was hard to imagine that these words were spoken by a 9-year-old boy.

Wu Yan took out a [Delicious Steak] from his inventory.

The boy's eyes widened when he saw it. With such a thin body, there was no need to guess how well he could eat.

Wu Yan pushed the [delicious steak] in front of the boy and said:

"I have a question."

The 9-year-old boy's hand stopped in mid-air, and his eyes became wary again.

Wu Yan sighed silently and asked, "Have you ever seen a strange beast?"

The boy's eyes suddenly became hollow, his hands and feet were shaking, and he could no longer control his body.

He even forgot about this [delicious steak], Wu Yan stopped asking,

He used anesthesia,

I thought that calming my nerves could only be useful for myself, but I didn't expect that it could also calm the minds of others.

The boy didn't even want to eat the [delicious steak], so he turned around and wanted to run away.

Wu Yan stopped the boy and wanted to ask a question but held it back and silently handed over the [delicious steak].

The boy obviously hadn't eaten meat for a long time. He swallowed, finally held back, then turned and ran away.

"It's useless, adventurer, don't worry about our village." An old man's voice came from behind Wu Yan.

Isn't this the third master who told them before?

The third master waved his hand to signal him to come over, then took the food from Wu Yan's hand and started to gnaw it hungrily.

Wu Yan watched the lame Third Master finish the food, and then the Third Master replied with satisfaction,

"Thank you for fulfilling my wish." The third master found a dry branch from the ground and picked it up between his teeth.

"What do you want to ask? Ask me quickly while I'm in a good mood."

Wu Yan finally showed a smile. He was really a little depressed because he was so afraid of strange beasts.

"Have you seen strange beasts? Third Master."

The third master showed his incomplete teeth, and his expression was very sullen, but he still finished speaking completely,

"I've seen it before, more than I've seen it before!",

His voice was filled with anger, "My wife was taken away by a strange beast!"

"Everyone is a monster!"

The third master vented the anger in his heart with fear, and Wu Yan continued to ask, "Have you not organized a fight against alien beasts?"

The third master showed a disdainful smile, "Confrontation?"

"Do you know what kind of monsters they are?",

"They are the rules, they are the order!"

"It's impossible to defeat them. Even if one is killed, so what, more monsters will come.",

Wu Yan accepted the information seriously.

From the beginning, he noticed this third master.

The third master has been pretending to be indifferent, but he has been paying attention to them.

The other NPCs in this village didn't even look at him, wishing that he would leave as soon as possible.

Wu Yan collected his emotions and asked, "Can you tell me where the strange beast is?"

"No!", the third master replied decisively, but there was a slight hesitation after the answer.

Wu Yan looked over in confusion. The third master's eyes showed fear, hesitation and weakness.

All negative emotions are written on his face,

The third master continued, "No matter how powerful the adventurer is, he can't defeat these strange beasts."

"There was an adventurer before. He went there and never came back."

Wu Yan paused, "Adventurer, you didn't come back?"

How can it be?

As soon as the adventurer dies, he will be teleported to the resurrection point. How could he not come back?

Perhaps it was because the adventurers did not continue the mission before?

The only people who could come to this place before him were players from professional teams.

Wu Yan took a few steps back thoughtfully. If any professional players had come,

Then there may be information from other players.

While thinking about it, he sent a message to [Lu Yun], "Do you know about the mission in Mujia Village? There may be other professional players who have been there."

[Lu Yun] on the other side did not reply to the message, but directly sent a voice message.

"You must not accept any mission related to this, it is impossible to pass this mission!"

"You must remember!"

Just a few seconds later, [Lu Yun] sent another message,

"You! You won't accept this mission!"

Wu Yan replied with a "hmm".

[Lu Yun] sent countless crazy expressions over there, then went to the captain next to her and talked about the matter.

[Master Jie]'s eyes opened wider and wider, "Awesome, you dare to take on this task, you are worthy of being the master of [Piao Ling]!"

"Captain, stop making sarcastic remarks.",

"What should we do now?" [Lu Yun] was a little anxious, "Let me go over and look for him. I happened to have explored that place and I have the coordinates."

[Master Jie] nodded, "Just in time, we owe him another favor."

[Lu Yun] was made dumbfounded by her captain.

Normally, when you want to win over other people, you need to give them favors. Their captain, on the other hand, wants to get [Piao Ling] to give them favors.

"Captain, I also told you about [Zhong Yi]."

"Well, I'll tell Zhong Yi later, I'm still asking him to insist." [Master Jie] said with a half-smile.

[Lu Yun] was surprised in her heart,

The captain just revealed a huge piece of information inadvertently.

She always thought that Zhong Yi had canceled his account a long time ago, changed his talent, and started working hard again somewhere.

Unexpectedly, a week has passed and Zhong Yi is still stuck in this branch of the task.

This is a pretty outrageous side quest.

[Lu Yun] teleported to Mujia Village and said to Wu Yan with a serious face,

"[Piao Ling], please, you can give up if you don't continue the mission now!"

[Lu Yun] After listening to his introduction, she was still a little surprised.

Zhong Yi did not rescue Mu Yi during this branch of the mission.

He directly received the task of killing a strange beast.

One of their team members, Zhong Yi, was trapped in a branch mission for nearly a week.

This is something that no one outside of their team knows. Originally, their team was not prepared to reveal this matter.

The difficulty of this side mission has become so complicated, but [Wandering] still managed to get over it.

To [Lu Yun]’s surprise,

[Lu Yun]'s breasts kept rising and falling. She came so quickly that she didn't even have time to change into her casual clothes.

Wu Yan asked, "So, how strong is this strange beast?"

[Lu Yun] Being led in by such a calm Wu Yan, she thought for a moment.

"The alien beast is probably as strong as the Tenth Palace [King of Samsara]."

[Lu Yun] glanced at Wu Yan and found that the other person did not feel contempt because he described him as being as strong as [Reincarnation King].

In her mind, [King of Samsara] is really a very difficult boss.

Before Wu Yan, the only player she knew so far was [Hurricane] who had fought alone.

Other professional teams have relied on cooperation.

[Wandering] Even though I lived alone, I didn’t see any contempt in his expression.

Inexplicably, [Lu Yun] has a hint of appreciation in her eyes. For now,

[Wandering] still fits her ideal player's performance in battle.

Naturally, Wu Yan didn't know that the other party had made up so much just by making an ordinary observation.

He really didn’t think [Samsara King] was easy to fight.

That's because he was stuck in a special place, and coupled with the restraint of his skills, he was able to kill the [King of Samsara] alive.

It would be really uncomfortable to switch to a movable beast.

But it's not like there's no chance,

Wu Yan began to look at [Lu Yun] seriously, "Someone among you must have reached a higher level."

"Is the strength of high-level promotion great?",

The question asked by their captain flashed through [Lu Yun]’s mind.

Even with such dissuasion, [Wandering] really has no intention of stopping at all.

[Lu Yun] bit her lip,

Maybe the other party hasn't realized that she no longer has enough confidence when persuading something in front of [Piao Ling].

After all, she compared the strengths of both sides horizontally. At least for now,

She is definitely no match for [Piao Ling],

What about the future?

Even if she doesn't want to admit it, [Wandering] will only progress faster and faster.

"If it were you, I think you would have a great chance of being promoted to a high level!"

[Lu Yun] said, "Upgrading to a high level can increase a lot of power."

At least [Hurricane] was not as strong as [Drifting] at the same time.

If [Wandering] can successfully upgrade to a high-level magician,

It will only be stronger!

Wu Yan nodded after listening.

"Then...do your teammates ignore him?",

After hearing what Wu Yan said,

[Lu Yun] felt relaxed instead, which meant that the other party had probably given up on continuing this mission.

She waved her hand, "It's okay, I will talk to the captain and ask Zhong Yi to give up this talent."

"Although it's a bit of a pity that he has the talent to become an ace, but he is now so far behind."

"Even if you come out, it will be very difficult."

[Lu Yun] There was a little tangle on her face, but usually there was very little tangle on her face.

But Zhong Yi’s talent is really a pity. When Zhong Yi was trapped for so long,

They really thought of many ways,

But this strange beast is not as simple as just killing one.

Moreover, she always felt that there was a deeper mission hidden in Mujia Village.

[Lu Yun] subconsciously patted Wu Yan on the shoulder, "So, give up on this mission first."

"You should have asked the NPCs here just now. No NPCs are willing to let us help continue."

"Zhong Yi failed some time ago, which resulted in another attack on the village."

Wu Yan said, "You agree to form a team."

"Team up?"

"Do you have other tasks?" [Lu Yun] doubted that he was there.

In addition, he originally planned to return the favor to Wu Yan,

[Hurricane] was stopped, which is good for their entire team.

After all, the number of places in the Trial of God in all their professions is constant.

If too many spots are taken up by another team, their spots will be reduced.

When [Lu Yun] agreed to join the team,

She just started to realize that something was wrong. When she was talking to Wu Yan,

Wu Yan took this opportunity to ask all the NPCs around him.

Finally, I asked the third master about the location of a strange beast.

"[Piao Ling]! You are crazy!" [Lu Yun] was anxious.

She had been talking about her feelings for so long and how difficult this task was, but the latter was not listening at all.

[Lu Yun]'s voice became stern, "If this mission fails, do you know what will happen to the people in this village?"

Wu Yan's voice was filled with sadness, "What will happen?"

"Can it get worse than now?",

In this village, no one has a real smile on their face.

Everyone is waiting in panic to be cannibalized step by step, and everyone's eyes are filled with fear and fear.

[Lu Yun] I just happened to look at the third master’s eyes. When the third master had just revealed the location of the alien beast,

There was a hint of relief in his expression,

[Lu Yun]'s words were stuck in her throat and she didn't say it. She originally wanted to say that it might lead to the death of these villagers!

But for these villagers, death is not a terrible thing.

[Lu Yun] took a deep breath, "What exactly do you think?"

"No NPC thinks we can complete this task!"
