Getting her first quest from an NPC? That's easy. Shen Jue was confident she could complete it quickly, but then she was proven wrong.

The lamb, now fully revealed, merely glanced at her before turning and walking away. It didn't linger, not even stepping onto the shore—what a strange lamb.

But there was no way around it; the game system had already given her a hint that she had to get the first task from the sheep, so she had to follow it.

Resigned to his fate, Shen Jue followed the little lamb and explored the underwater area.

Just as she was following the little lamb around in circles underwater, Qingfeng finally arrived.

When Qingfeng saw Shenjue following the lamb, he expressed his confusion for the first time. Although he couldn't speak, Shenjue could tell that Qingfeng was puzzled as to why she was following a lamb.

Shen Jue wondered how she could explain to her beloved pet that she needed to follow the lamb and complete the task.

Moreover, this little lamb swims quite fast underwater, and it's easy to lose track of it if you're not careful, so you must not let your guard down.

Even without Shen Jue's explanation, Qing Feng was only puzzled for a moment before following Shen Jue's lead. In his eyes, everything his master did was right; he didn't need to question it, he just needed to follow along.

Perhaps it was because Shen Jue was too persistent in following the little lamb, or perhaps it was because after Shen Jue followed a behemoth like Qing Feng, the little lamb running ahead ran even faster.

Fortunately, Shen Jue and Qing Feng were also very fast and could keep up with the little sheep at full speed.

Not knowing if the little lamb in front of her could understand what she was saying, Shen Jue chased after it while calling out to it.

"Little lamb in front, can you please not run away? I saved you, why are you running away?"

The lamb running ahead paused, turned back and looked at Shen Jue with a puzzled expression, then ran even faster. This time, no matter what Shen Jue said, it didn't stop.

Does this lamb have anthropophobia?

Shen Jue couldn't help but have this guess.

In fact, the lambs ran away when they saw her not because of anthropophobia, but because in ordinary dungeons, as social dream beasts, they didn't have much attack power, and even their relatively gentle nature meant they had been killed by Shen Jue countless times.

Upon arriving at the elite dungeon, the little lamb, who had accidentally gotten trapped in the weeds, was initially very grateful to the person who saved it. However, upon seeing that its rescuer was Shen Jue, it had an instinctive stress reaction. Its legs moved uncontrollably, and it desperately tried to escape, not wanting to listen to Shen Jue's explanation at all. It felt as if Shen Jue was speaking kindly to it now, but could be about to slash it with a knife the next second.

I'm scared, I'm really scared.

It needs to find a safe place quickly to shake off Chen Jue.

But what puzzled the little lamb was why Shen Jue could move so freely in the water.

This is a talent of their clan. Why can Shen Jue disregard common sense and move freely in the water?

The little sheep was deeply puzzled. It hadn't thought Shen Jue had this ability when it was in the normal dungeon. Could it be that it had taken the wrong escape route?

Perhaps by going through the stone gate, they could escape Shen Jue's pursuit.

It has to be said that the little sheep was terrified of Shen Jue, so it really misunderstood Shen Jue this time. Shen Jue really didn't mean to kill it, and the panicked little sheep never thought that it could make things difficult for Shen Jue by issuing tasks.

Although it has tasks to make things difficult for players who come to challenge it, who is the opponent? She is Shen Jue. If you make her unhappy, she can kill you with her sword.

You can reason with her; she's unlikely to have any ill intentions.

Even the little sheep felt that it might not have finished speaking before Shen Jue could chop it up and endlessly harass and ambush it.

Rather than fighting her, it's better to run away first. As long as it hides well enough.

Shen Jue couldn't find it. She was already stuck in this elite area and couldn't get out. Eventually, she would run out of food.

Then it will be the biggest winner, and the game system will reward it.

Thinking about it this way, it's actually making things difficult for the players in a roundabout way.

Unfortunately, while the little lamb's idea was good, Shen Jue wouldn't let him leave so easily.

Seeing that she couldn't catch up with the lamb, Shen Jue decided to resort to force. She took out a net and drank a speed potion, which increased her speed even further from where she was already at her limit in the water.

Shen Jue caught up with the lamb in an instant.

I also threw a net onto the lamb, and with the help of Eagle Eye, it hit it precisely.

Once the lamb is caught in the net, no matter how much it struggles, it's all in vain.

Shen Jue swam the lamb ashore, and the struggling lamb was heartbroken.

It reported that a player was cheating.

He was running perfectly fine, how could he suddenly go so fast? If this isn't cheating, what is it?

Unfortunately, no matter how much Xiao Yang reported to the game system, the game system still judged Shen Jue as normal.

Half a minute later, Shen Jue surfaced and threw the large net in her hand onto the shore.

There was a loud thud.

The lamb bared its teeth and bleated, "Easy, easy, don't you know any manners, player?"

"Now you know to ask me to be polite? Why did you run away when I asked you to be polite before?"

Shen Jue's words left the little lamb speechless. It couldn't admit, absolutely couldn't admit, that it wanted to starve Shen Jue. Then everything would be fine, and it wouldn't need to do any of the subsequent tasks.

As long as it doesn't have Shen Jue, it's not afraid of other players.

This situation was truly unexpected for the little lamb. It chuckled a few times to ease the awkwardness. Of course, this awkwardness was only its own perception; Shen Jue didn't think she was embarrassed at all.

She went straight to the point and asked the lamb directly.

"Speak up, you have a mission to complete, quickly issue me the mission, and I won't cause you any trouble."

Little Sheep was still thinking of excuses to get rid of Shen Jue, but Shen Jue was so direct. He just told her to give him a task and not to bother him.

The lamb exclaimed, "Such a great thing?!"

Thinking about the tasks the game system gave it, they were quite difficult. If it couldn't complete them, it would be Shen Jue's own fault, not the game's.

With that in mind, Little Sheep promptly assigned the task to Shen Jue.

Then Shen Jue received her first quest from an NPC since entering the instance.

[The little sheep has given you a task: Solve the passage problem at the stone gate.]

The passage through the stone gate must be the same stone gate she saw underwater.

Upon receiving the task, Shen Jue remained expressionless, revealing neither joy nor anger.

The little lamb stayed to one side, cautiously stealing glances at Shen Jue.

Shen Jue decided to go into the water to take a look, but before she went in, she called Hui Yi over and asked Hui Yi to watch over the little lamb.

Huiyi, who was so bored on the shore that she was practically growing weeds, had her eyes light up when she saw Shenjue release the sheep from the net.

It is wolves' nature to eat sheep, and this instance is no exception. The wolf clan and the sheep clan are natural enemies. Now that they have met, oh dear, what a small world!

Within a dungeon, if a player kills a dungeon NPC, the NPC can be resurrected. However, if a dungeon NPC is killed by another dungeon NPC, they are truly dead and cannot be resurrected.

Dungeon NPCs also need to reproduce and thrive, and the game system cannot conjure up so many dungeon NPCs out of thin air.

It can only be said that if NPCs in these game instances are killed by players, they can be resurrected and receive compensation from the game system, such as increased strength.

Cooperating with the game system is mutually beneficial. However, the game system does not take responsibility if an NPC in a dungeon is killed by its natural enemy.

So, the moment the little lamb saw Gray Memory, the whole lamb trembled.

Good heavens! How could we possibly see our clan's mortal enemy here?
