Chapter 154 Zhen and Xia Liang "Congratulations player, you have received a hidden type..."
"Congratulations, player, you have received the hidden quest series: Moon Maiden. Please complete the first stage."
The system's cold voice suddenly rang in everyone's ears.
They all raised their hands and opened the control panel, looking at a new task that had suddenly appeared in the task list.
Hidden Quest Series: Moon Maiden.
Mission Description: Please help a girl who has gotten lost in the forest while searching for medicinal herbs to prepare a life-saving medicine.
Task 1: Please help her obtain the pearl from the bottom of Moon Lake.
Quest Rewards: 3000 Experience Points, 30 Medicines, 1 Pearl Bracelet (Guardian Equipment).
"It's a series of missions." Yingjun looked at the panel with surprise.
Anya frowned, glancing at the girl who claimed to be real with some confusion.
She had already received intelligence information from the government before she set off, but the intelligence did not contain any information about the so-called Ghost Moon Girl mission, nor did it contain any real NPCs.
The matter of Phoenix is far too important; no one dares to make such a mistake.
As she walked, she pondered, feeling that the appearance of this earnest young girl was truly bizarre.
But it's even stranger that it can issue system tasks.
Anya took a few quick steps forward, avoiding Zhen's gaze, and quietly opened the panel, typing a few lines of text to one of the contacts.
She glanced at the system panel every now and then, but unfortunately, she never received a reply.
Anya frowned and sent a few more messages.
The sent message remained in a pending delivery state, and the broken link buffer pattern kept spinning.
She paused, nearly bumping into Miao Yi who was following behind her.
Miao Yi glanced at her strangely, and seeing her staring blankly into the air, guessed that she was looking at the control panel.
She paused, remembering what the little snake had just told her, before poking Anya.
Anya snapped out of her daze and looked at Miao Yi, who was usually quiet and unnoticed, with surprise: "What's wrong?"
Miao glanced back slightly before pulling Anya forward a few steps and whispering, "Little Snake said Xia Liang is wrong."
Anya raised an eyebrow, not surprised at all. There were indeed some suspicious points about that person's appearance. She hadn't planned to investigate, but thinking about the truth behind it, she still asked for details.
Miao Yi let out a slight breath: "The little snake said that his soul is very dirty and that his mother's clan are evil people who have committed great sins."
Miao Yi is a descendant of the Miao people in reality and possesses extraordinary abilities. After entering the Dragon and Phoenix Continent, he awakens the unique Miao witch race.
Her most powerful skill is not raising Gu to save people, but that her Gu can smell the soul of the person she is saving.
It was thanks to her presence that Anya Wine House was able to evade spies' intrusions several times. After all, no matter how they disguised themselves, the malice in their souls would never disappear.
"You mean he's not from Xia?" Anya tapped her fingertips on her belt a few times. "Have you smelled someone with the same scent before?"
Miao Yi made a slight hissing sound at his cuffs, and after a while, he nodded to Anya: "Yes, Japan."
Anya's eyes flashed with ruthlessness: "It's that group of people again."
She turned her head slightly, glanced at Zhen following behind her out of the corner of her eye, and then whispered to Miao Yi, "Find an opportunity to test her for me."
Miao glanced back and met Zhen's eyes. She quickly turned her head away, lowered her head slightly, and said in a trembling voice, "She is very dangerous."
Seeing her like this, Anya sighed heavily, rubbing her temples and saying with a headache, "One Japanese guy left, and then a bug appeared. This quest..."
Anya wasn't the only one in the group who had become suspicious of Zhen. There was also a girl dressed in a black bodysuit that covered her up to reveal only her eyes. From the moment she saw Zhen, she gripped the dagger in her hand and hasn't dared to let go of it since.
She hung at the very back of the line, staring intently at Zhen in front of her, a hint of murderous intent flashing in her eyes.
Zhen, who had been silently following, noticed the murderous intent. She lowered her head slightly to conceal the malice in her eyes, and then that familiar light blue color reappeared in her eyes.
Suddenly a small yellow ball appeared in her line of sight. She immediately withdrew the blue light, pretended to look at Sang Zhitao with curiosity, and even wanted to reach out and touch her.
Sang Zhitao flapped her wings, quickly dodging the other's touch, her beady eyes fixed on Zhen, never leaving him for a moment.
Sang Zhitao originally thought that she had already changed the plot, so it was not surprising that characters who were not in the original plot appeared. However, when everyone was discussing the mission, she sensed something was wrong.
Although she had only written the first part of Dragon and Phoenix Continent at the time, most of the game's storyline had already been completed.
In these missions, there has never been a real NPC, nor has there ever been a hidden series of missions featuring the Moonlit Maiden.
If the person in question had actually appeared earlier, she could have treated them as a regular daily quest NPC.
However, things didn't go right after everyone received the world quests. After all, there were only fifty hidden quests in the entire Dragon and Phoenix Continent, and she had described them one by one.
In the original book, the Douzi siblings completed twenty, gave fifteen to the Xia Kingdom, and the rest were mostly divided between the Li Kingdom and the Xiong Kingdom. The rest were completed by the smaller countries.
The reason they offended so many gangs in the original story was because they stole their intelligence and forcibly hijacked hidden missions.
None of them were missions from the Youyue Continent.
"The Ghost Moon Forest has become a run-of-the-mill leveling area. I've never heard of any NPCs here. If there were any hidden quests, it could really affect the later developments..."
Sang Zhitao wondered to herself, not forgetting to tilt her head and look at Zhen.
This girl named Zhen had a very bad feeling about her, especially when her face was exactly the same as her own face in the orc world, which gave her a chill down her spine.
Zhen tilted his head, making a cute face as he looked at Sang Zhitao: "You are... a little chick?"
Sang Zhitao ignored her, preoccupied with what she had just seen.
Just now, under the faint blue light in Zhen's eyes, there were rows of binary codes.
"Chirp!" Seeing a faint hint of killing intent rising in Zhen's eyes, Sang Zhitao quickly pretended to be confused and chirped twice.
As Zhenyan watched Sang Zhitao leave after shouting, the murderous intent in her eyes was once again concealed. She couldn't help but twitch her fingertips, and a drop of black liquid slowly fell into the grass next to her. Instantly, several blades of grass turned into withered grass and fell to the ground.
No one noticed any of this, not even the girl in black who had been watching her.
"Little Phoenix, what's wrong?" Douzi was perched on her brother's back. When she looked up, she could see Sang Zhitao, who had been staring blankly since she flew back onto her brother's head.
Sang Zhitao glanced at Douzi, then at Anya in front of her, and pondered for a moment: "Be careful of that NPC who's really serious."
Douzi glanced blankly at Zhen behind her, opened her mouth as if to say something, but was interrupted by her brother's light cough.
Seeing this, Douzi quickly lay on her brother's body and repeated what Sang Zhitao had told her.
Dou Ge frowned and thought for a moment before lowering his voice: "Don't trust anyone except your brother for now. This mission is much more dangerous than you think."
Douzi nodded obediently, then, remembering that her brother couldn't see, she whispered a soft "hmm" in his ear.
She leisurely followed behind the crowd, never forgetting to show her fragility along the way.
But a faint killing intent came from behind, and An Ya Miao Yi in front of them was on high alert. Even the brother and sister's steps became a little stiff.
She didn't care about their attitude at all, since these people couldn't hurt her at all with their strength.
Looking at the little yellow ball on Dou Ge's head, and recalling his earlier bewildered expression, she couldn't help but scoff softly, "He really is a good-for-nothing..."
Sang Zhitao sensed the appearance of the black liquid, but her deepest instincts prevented her from turning around to look.
"Why is there this here too...?" Sang Zhitao thought of the giant beast she had just killed, and felt that one mystery after another was coming at her, leaving her feeling helpless.
"What is Little Phoenix saying?" Douzi vaguely heard a few words from her mutterings and asked curiously.
Sang Zhitao shook her head slightly, lay on Dou Ge's head, closed her eyes slightly, and pretended to go to sleep.
Seeing that she was asleep, Douzi pursed her lips, glanced at her with concern, and said nothing more, silently lying on her brother's back.
Dou Ge seemed to sense something, and after bouncing his sister up a bit to adjust her position to a more comfortable state, he silently continued forward.
For a moment, the only sound in the entire group was the sound of their advancing footsteps; nothing else could be heard.
On the outskirts of the Ghost Moon Forest, two groups of people are facing off.
"Bear Kingdom people? You're also going into the Dark Moon Forest?" Xia Liang gripped his knife tightly, looking at the crowd before him.
Standing next to him was a short man, who, upon closer inspection, appeared to be the same short man from the Japanese gang who was troubled by the impossible task assigned to him by the Japanese representative.
"Japanese bastards? You're also after the Phoenix?" The leader of the Bear Kingdom was a tall, strong woman. She twirled the giant axe in her hand, her expression quite disdainful.
Xia Liang was furious at her attitude. He looked fierce and was about to make a move with his knife, but was stopped by the short man in the next second.
"I'm sorry, gentlemen, my younger brother is young and has a fiery temper. Please forgive him." The short man spoke not only politely but also with a hint of flattery. "We're just here to catch pets. We have absolutely no interest in the phoenix."
"Brother?!" Xia Liang was somewhat dissatisfied with her brother's humble attitude.
The short man glanced at him before looking at the bear-like man.
The Xiong people looked at each other, and for a moment they really couldn't think of a way to deal with these Japanese. After all, the reasons they gave were reasonable. They weren't like the Li people. They were just marking their territory like dogs urinating, marking off every place they saw.
"If you have no ideas, stay away from us. If we find you following us, you will..." After uttering these harsh words, the Bear Kingdom people all entered the forest.
They cut down everything in their path, carving a path through the forest before disappearing from everyone's sight.
"Brother, why are you so humble towards them?!" Xia Liang looked at her brother with a puzzled expression.
The short man had a cold expression and a fierce look in his eyes. He then glanced at his younger brother before explaining, "Japan is too weak. This is the only way we can survive between the three great powers."
"But one day, we will learn everything from our ancestors, just like they did, and trample them underfoot. We will not fail at them or look down on them as we did in the past."
Xia Liang stood solemnly to the side, obediently listening to her brother's explanation before saying sternly, "I've remembered it, brother. Don't worry, I will definitely learn Xia Kingdom's technology and make them our defeated foe!"
