Upon closer examination, the content of this task is actually quite interesting.
There was no requirement for everyone to find the 'blood of ascension'.
There were no other conditions.
It seems that it was just a strong obsession of this monster. As a member of the Ascension Cult, it had even offered its flesh and soul to the gods. It just wanted to confirm whether the 'blood of ascension' existed.
And the way to complete this task is even simpler.
Once the final boss is defeated, the game will automatically be considered complete—and players will learn that the Blood of Ascension does not exist.
or.
Alternatively, you can choose to kill it directly.
Killing it will cause the mission to fail, but it will always drop one Phantom Sea Sky Stone, with a small chance of dropping two, and even a very small chance of dropping a piece of endgame gear.
It all depends on whether the player chooses experience and silver coins or equipment.
Of course, no one knows about the second option yet.
We must complete the task first.
"Strange, the mission description doesn't give any hints, not even a target."
Ning Hongchen muttered to himself repeatedly.
"We might get some mission hints later, but who cares? Let's just follow Bai Di."
Nine Lives said with his hands tucked in, looking quite relaxed.
Let's see how things go as we go.
Su Bai nodded and said, "This should be a permanent side quest. Our goal this time is to be the first to complete it; everything else is secondary."
No one disagreed with what he said.
Keep moving forward.
We cleared out dozens of small monsters blocking our way along the way.
The mountain path has an end.
The group finally arrived at the mountaintop area.
A brown mist filled the air, limiting everyone's vision to within a few dozen meters. The air was thick with the stench of blood, as if the mist itself were formed from evaporated blood.
Within their limited field of vision, all they could see was an open space, with neatly laid stone bricks on the ground, which appeared to be a plaza.
Suddenly.
A strange, low moaning sound came from within the thick fog.
It was as if something was spinning at high speed, or as if countless wronged souls were wailing softly.
Be careful.
Su Bai looked around and then turned back to give a word of advice.
He said, "The main quest prompt is to eliminate the 'Puppet of Pride'... This should be the location of the second boss battle."
We've arrived here.
The information provided by Shen Wansan was no longer of any help.
Su Bai could only speak cautiously, guiding everyone to obtain information within a reasonable range.
"That sound... it's that terrifying creature that harassed us on the first level!"
"It's squid," the squid suddenly said.
His main strengths are agility and his senses are more acute than those of ordinary people. When the monster ambushed everyone on the mountain road, he was the only one who heard the sound of the monster moving in the clouds.
"Watch out, it's getting close!"
The cuttlefish suddenly pulled up its longbow and nervously stared at its surroundings.
Even without his prompting, everyone could tell that the eerie wailing sound was getting closer and closer.
But perhaps due to the fog, the monster's voice made it difficult for everyone to discern the direction.
Banners are waving!
Thump!
Ning Hongchen summoned a blood-red military flag with one hand. The flag was engraved with a ferocious white tiger pattern. As soon as it landed, it quickly spread out in circles of light, enveloping the area around everyone.
immediately.
A dark figure appeared within the range of the military flag.
It was a humanoid monster with rotting flesh and rusty gears turning inside its chest cavity. Half of its head was metal, and the ends of its arms had been modified into sharp blades.
"It's an invisible monster."
Su Bai gave a reminder and quickly waved his staff.
Explosive Flame Bullet!
boom!
A half-meter-long, orange-red fireball flew out and hit the monster. The flames surged in the air, seemingly burning something, and a foul, burnt smell wafted out.
-!
The terrifying damage instantly incinerated the monster.
"There's definitely more than one invisible monster. Use all your area-of-effect skills to cover as much area as possible."
Su Bai then said.
That's what he said, but he didn't use the most effective area-of-effect attack—Tidal Song—he just symbolically threw a few whirlwinds into the air.
"Winter! Frost! Great God of the Elements, grant me the power to freeze everything!"
Nine Lives chanted the incantation for an ice storm.
A moment later, a cloud of ice gathered above everyone's heads, whipping up icy flakes as sharp as knives.
This magic spell was indeed effective.
Two more monsters that were stealthily approaching the group were attacked and revealed.
Just then, a beam of black light suddenly shot out from the mist and swept straight toward Nine Lives with lightning speed.
Explosive Flame Bullet!
Boom!!
A scorching wave of fire exploded less than five meters in front of him.
Realizing what had happened, Jiu Ming broke out in a cold sweat. He quickly stepped back and said to Su Bai, "Thank you!"
Su Bai nodded slightly and said, "That monster was indeed hiding in the shadows, waiting for its chance to strike. We can't just passively take the beating; we must find a way to force it out!"
"Leave it to me."
Ning Hongchen immediately understood upon hearing this.
She leaped out, extending one arm and gently beckoning towards nothingness. "Hey, coward! Come out and fight me!"
ridicule!
A brown mist swirled gently.
After a while.
No response.
It seems that the location she randomly chose was not in the direction where the boss monster was hiding.
But it's okay.
The warrior's taunt skill can be upgraded a few times, and the cooldown time can be reduced to less than 10 seconds. After waiting another 10 seconds for a random draw, there's always a chance to lure out the boss monster.
