At this moment, he had almost confirmed the identity of this family.
Cao Xing shook his head and said, "Let's go, there's nothing here."
The crowd followed him outside.
Then they walked straight to the well.
The closer you get, the heavier the smell of the dead becomes.
Cao Xing saw a blackened wooden board above the ancient well, with a large stone pressing on it.
It seems that it doesn't want the existence in the ancient well to come out.
Cao Xing thought for a moment and ordered, "Asam, push it away."
“Yes, sir!”
After receiving the order, Assam stepped forward without hesitation, moved the big stone, and then lifted the wooden board.
At this moment, Cao Xing smelled a stench that seemed to be rotten and had been sealed for many years, blowing towards him!
After opening the well cover, Assam remained alert and looked carefully into the ancient well.
After a moment, he turned his head and said, "My Lord, there is something in the ancient well, but it is too dark to see clearly."
Cao Xing listened and walked over.
As Assam said, it was unusually dark inside the ancient well.
Moreover, bursts of mist were constantly emanating from the ancient well, further interfering with the vision.
Fortunately, he has the [Eye of True Vision], so he can easily see the scene below.
Passing through layers of mist, Cao Xing saw what seemed to be a skeleton hanging in the air...
"Skull? What is his identity?"
Before he could continue observing.
A large amount of undead breath suddenly gushed out of the well!
Cao Xing immediately noticed something was wrong.
"Back off!"
Hearing your command, everyone retreated.
At the same time.
The dark green breath of the undead gushed out from the wellhead and turned into substance!
“Blah! Blah!”
The breath of the undead surged into the sky, turning the entire courtyard into a tragic green!
Then, a vengeful spirit with long hair and a wet body floating at the mouth of the well appeared in front of everyone.
Everyone felt an extremely vicious aura from this vengeful spirit!
She gradually raised her pale face with resentment in her eyes.
"It's humans! What ugly humans are!"
"I will tear each of your ugly faces into pieces!"
After saying that, she rushed towards Cao Xing.
"Wait a moment."
Cao Xing quickly stopped him and took out the doll in his hand.
However, the vengeful spirit seemed to have been dominated by anger and did not listen to him at all.
He even ignored the shabby doll in his hand.
Cao Xing frowned, "No reaction to the doll? Could I have guessed wrong?"
It looked as if the vengeful spirit's attack was about to fall on him.
"If you want to harm the lord, you have to get past me first!"
Braum used [Leap Guard] and instantly jumped in front of Cao Xing.
Then he raised his shield and blocked it fiercely!
“Crack!”
The undead's attack hit Braum's shield, only breaking one layer of his holy shield.
Renis, Assam, Andrew, Rune and others beside them have already entered the combat state!
Instantly, a large number of attacks fell on the vengeful spirit.
【-4732】
【-5532! 】
【-5732! 】
【-3023】
At the same time, Sarah, who has transformed into a commander, suddenly appears.
The silent blade in her hand chopped down instantly.
【-8755! 】
An injury of nearly ten thousand occurred.
And this is just Sarah's ordinary attack!
She can easily release a skill or trigger a grace release, and the damage can easily exceed 10,000!
"ah!!!"
The vengeful spirit was suddenly hit hard and let out an angry scream.
[Ding! The vengeful spirit launches a mental attack on you. You have been immune to the state of Faith Thought. This attack is ineffective...]
…
Not only Cao Xing, but everyone on the field was immune to this attack and surrounded the vengeful spirit.
Cao Xing was at the back of the team and took a quick look at her attributes.
[The Angry Ghost: Jenna Hex]
[Race: Undead]
[Level: Level 35 (Level 4 Boss-level Creature)]
[HP: 27453/55227]
【Attack Power: 2572~2598】
[Armor: 412~449]
[Skill: Ghost Body (Reduces physical damage received by 30%)
Wail of Wraiths (makes a wail of resentment, reducing the armor of all nearby enemies by 30% and their strength by 30%)
Rain of the Undead (Concentrates the power of the undead, raining down, causing 187% undead damage to enemies within 50 meters)
Angry Screech (Emits an angry scream, causing mental confusion for 1~3 seconds to surrounding enemies and reducing their mental attributes by 300 points.)]
【Talent: Body of the Undead】
(Introduction: A ghost that died long ago. Because of the hatred that has not been released, the resentment in her body makes her more powerful, but she can only move in a fixed area.)
…
Seeing the attributes of this monster, Cao Xing was certain.
The fourth-level boss is really terrifying.
If the other side goes crazy, with the strength of this village, the whole village might be slaughtered.
Fortunately, evil spirits like these will be confined to fixed places of activity.
At this moment, the monster's body was spinning in the air, making mournful undead sounds.
"You disgusting humans, damn you! Damn you all!"
"Hehehe! I'm going to tear you apart!"
She angrily attacked Bron.
The big guy held up the evil eye shield and remained motionless no matter how she attacked him.
The people next to him just casually launched a few attacks without taking it seriously at all.
In the blink of an eye, the health of this fourth-level boss-level ghost had been reduced to less than 10,000.
At this moment, Sarah was about to use [Shadow Blossom] to instantly kill the vengeful spirit.
The attacks from everyone on the field were too terrifying.
If you really go all out.
In less than three seconds, this leader-level vengeful spirit was about to be killed instantly by them!
Cao Xing said quickly, "Stop it, don't beat her to death!"
Upon hearing the order, everyone on the field stopped moving.
At this moment, the vengeful spirit saw that they suddenly stopped, but she, who was already dominated by anger, had no intention of giving up.
"Go to hell!"
A substantial undead aura burst out from her body, transforming into [Rain of Undead], falling over everyone's heads.
“Blah, blah!”
【-3214】
【-3053】
【-2932】
【-3321】
…
The injury numbers are rising one by one.
However, everyone on the field remained standing, allowing her group attack skills to hit them.
Cao Xing's orders are everything, even more important than their lives.
Including the newly joined Dragonblood Warrior leader, Rune did not take any action.
After all, with the various states that Cao Xing had bestowed on him, this vengeful spirit did not feel any threat at all.
Cao Xing said, "Calm down first. I want to talk to you."
However, the vengeful spirit seemed not to understand what Cao Xing said.
Still attacking Braum relentlessly.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
Damage numbers kept appearing on Brontë's head.
But immediately, repeated values appeared one after another.
However, the health she regained from her attacks seemed to be slower than Braum's.
After a while, the big guy rubbed his head in boredom and asked in confusion, "My Lord, how long will she fight? Even Braum is getting a little bored."
Cao Xing was also speechless. This woman had accumulated resentment and anger for hundreds of years, and it seemed that she wanted to pour it all out at once.
She knew clearly that she was no match for these people, but she still launched attacks again and again without giving up.
Several minutes passed.
Most of the vengeful spirit's power was consumed, and its attack finally weakened.
She floated and stood still.
It seemed as if he knew that his attacks had no effect on them.
Cao Xing then asked, "Can we talk now?"
"You should know that it would be easy for us to kill you."
The ghost said in a gloomy voice: "What do you want to talk about?"
Cao Xing didn't waste any words and took the doll out of his backpack and asked, "Is this yours?"
When I saw this dirty doll.
In the eyes of the vengeful spirit, besides anger, there was a different emotion.
She looked at the puppet in Cao Xing's hand with confusion, feeling that it seemed familiar.
However, more than a hundred years have passed.
She was already filled with anger and hatred.
Even some of my deepest memories can't be recalled.
The female ghost held her head and felt extremely painful.
"What is this... It feels so familiar..."
“But why can’t I remember?”
"Damn it! Why!"
"What on earth is it?"
The vengeful spirit at this moment seemed extremely entangled and painful.
She was trying hard to remember something.
Cao Xing noticed that even her spirit seemed a little illusory.
After a minute or two, the evil spirit finally calmed down.
She raised her eyes, and the anger in her eyes disappeared, replaced by a complicated look.
"I remember..."
She slowly floated over and took the doll from Cao Xing's hand.
"Where did you get this doll?"
The gloomy voice echoed in everyone's ears.
Cao Xing replied directly: "I picked it up in the forest."
When the female ghost heard the word "forest", her soul trembled again...
She said with a trembling voice: "Have you seen the owner of this doll?"
"I see." Cao Xing nodded.
A variety of complex emotions, including ecstasy, anger, resentment, and complaint, instantly emerged on the female ghost's pale face.
However, Cao Xing's next words made her expression freeze.
"But unfortunately, he is dead."
In fact, it was not Cao Xing who killed the ogre hunter.
From the last conversation, we can tell that his soul no longer belongs to him...
After hearing this, all the expressions on the female ghost's face disappeared, and she was replaced by a look of extreme panic.
That look was like hearing that the person he had been waiting for for a long time would never come back again...
She looked at Cao Xing with uncertainty.
"Is he really dead?"
Cao Xing nodded.
At this moment, the female ghost fell from the sky.
She seemed to have suddenly lost all her support and collapsed to the ground.
"Why is this happening..."
"You clearly said you would be back soon..."
"You clearly said that you would take Jenna to the Anno River to go fishing, and take me and my mother to Melinde City to eat candy... wuwu..."
“Wuwuwu…Dad…”
The vengeful spirit hugged the doll in his hand and burst into tears.
The cry of the dead was so soul-stirring that one could sense the grief in the other person's heart just by listening to it.
However, because she is a ghost, the ghost has no tears.
All people could see was that the entire courtyard was filled with a strong aura of the undead.
Her crying became louder and louder, gradually turning into the cry of a young girl...
“Wuwuwu…wuwuwu…”
"Dad... Mom was bullied to death by those bad guys... Jenna was also bullied by those bad guys... Wuwuwu..."
"You didn't come back to see Jenna..."
"Wuwuwu... Daddy... Jenna is so lonely and hungry..."
Listen to her heart-wrenching cry.
Even Cao Xing felt a little bit reluctant when hearing this.
Meanwhile, Renis, Liu Muxue and others beside them also looked at the crying vengeful spirit on the ground with complicated expressions...
Actually, she is quite pitiful.
The father disappeared for several years, and the mother and daughter were waiting anxiously for someone who was destined not to come back.
Later, she experienced that kind of thing, which caused her mother to strangle herself and starve to death...
And Jenna's vengeful spirit stayed in the ancient well for more than a hundred years...
For so many years, she has been enduring that pain and loneliness alone.
Cao Xing sighed, "Is there anything I can help you with?"
The ghost of the little girl in front of me gradually stopped crying.
Her shoulders were still shaking violently. She raised her head and shook it gently.
"My biggest wish is to wait for my father to come back..."
"But he will never come back... wuwu..."
"Jenna no longer has any meaning..."
Listen to her desperate and helpless voice.
Cao Xing sighed, took out the letter from his backpack and handed it to her.
Although the content of the letter was a bit strange, it was filled with the father's love for his daughter.
Jenna burst into tears when she saw the words and content on the letter.
Even the crying soul was trembling a little.
Liu Muxue and Renees looked at each other.
The two girls gradually walked over and comforted the crying ghost.
Even Sarah behind him appeared and watched silently.
After several minutes, she finally regained her composure...
She raised her head and looked at Liu Muxue and Renis with gratitude, then looked at Cao Xing.
"Thank you... for bringing me the doll and the letter from my father..."
Cao Xing shook his head, "It's nothing, just a little effort."
"But you can't go on like this."
"Kill too many people and you'll attract some strong ones to kill you."
The vengeful spirit of the little girl listened and nodded slightly.
"I understand, big brother..."
"I have killed all those people who killed my mother..."
"You also brought back the doll my father gave me..."
"Now, I can leave with peace of mind..."
As she spoke, the aura of undead faded away from Jenna.
Her skin gradually returned to normal.
In broad daylight, she seemed to have undergone some kind of metamorphosis.
When Cao Xing raised his head again, he saw a girl in a white cotton coat, with blonde hair and holding a doll, standing in front of him.
She raised her head and smiled, a smile she had not seen in over a hundred years.
At this moment, she seemed to have become the lively and lovely Jenna again.
"Big Brother, thank you...Jenna is leaving now..."
"Let me tell you a secret... There is a treasure chest under this well..."
After saying this, her body dissipated into pieces on the spot...
A dirty doll fell to the ground.
However, this doll seems to be infused with a certain aura.
The dirt on it disappeared, and it gradually turned into a doll that was roughly made but obviously made with great care.
…
Everyone stood there in silence for a long time.
Until the system prompts to wake Cao Xing up.
[Survivors, please note that you have helped someone who truly needs help, and the Generosity Trial mission has been completed. ]
[Knight's Trial of Five Virtues: The progress of the Trial of Generosity has been updated.]
[Current progress: 5/5]
…
[All trial tasks have been completed. Now, you can go to the Falling Snow Lake to receive the legendary weapon - Yalondigit]
…
"Finally it's done..."
Cao Xing showed a hint of joy on his face. "This way, I can directly receive the complete Sword of the Lady of the Lake."
That's a complete legendary weapon!
Just thinking about it made him a little excited.
At the same time, Cao Xing noticed that there was a doll left by the evil spirit on the ground.
He walked forward and picked up the doll.
【Obtained: Jenna Hex's Doll (Gold)】
…
"Is it actually a golden item?"
Cao Xing glanced at the attributes.
【Jenna Hex's Doll (Gold)】
【Quality: rare】
[Attached special effect: Harder Times (When the holder is hit by a fatal attack, the damage is offset once, and the doll disappears after it takes effect)]
(Prop introduction: An ordinary doll, but it seems to have the last blessing of a girl.)
…
"Can you withstand a fatal attack? That's good."
"Although I have the [Salvation of Holy Light] status, which can also withstand a fatal attack, having this doll on me is like an extra layer of insurance."
Obviously, this was a pleasant surprise.
And finally, Cao Xing also heard from Jenna that there was a treasure chest hidden under the well.
So he asked directly: "Who among you will go down and investigate?"
To be honest, it was still a bit scary for him to go under such a dark well...
Upon hearing Cao Xing's order, several of his men stepped forward one after another.
Including Braum, he threw his shield on his back without hesitation and was about to jump into the well.
Seeing this scene, the newly joined Dragonblood Fighter leader once again had a look of emotion in his eyes.
He could see how much respect these powerful recruited creatures on the field had for this young lord.
Their faith in the Saint of Norn, Zora, is even stronger than it was back then!
Cao Xing saw this and said, "Sarah, go ahead."
Sarah has the skill [Moon Dance], so she can jump up easily.
"As you command, Lord."
After receiving Cao Xing's order, Sarah directly entered the [Moon Dance] state, then leaped into the ancient well.
After waiting for a moment.
Cao Xing suddenly heard a sound of water breaking.
Then, a shiny, almost transparent treasure chest flew out directly from the wellhead.
“Ding!”
The treasure chest fell to the ground, causing Cao Xing's pupils to shrink!
"Holy crap! This is actually a Haoyue treasure chest!"
You know, although he had opened two Haoyue treasure chests in the Dragon Shop before.
But that was redeemed, and it was the first time he encountered it in the wild.
The next moment, Sarah, using the [Moon Dance] skill, also jumped up like a beautiful elf.
There wasn't even a drop of water on her body.
Cao Xing praised: "Sarah, you did a great job."
The dark elf in front of him had a faint smile on his face.
"It is my honor to help you, my Lord."
Cao Xing nodded slightly, and then walked directly to the treasure chest with an impatient mood.
[Found an unlocked Haoyue treasure chest, do you want to open it? ]
"yes!"
【Open successfully】
[Obtain: Holy Water Recipe (Orange)]
[Obtained: Withered Longbow (Gold)]
【Obtained: Water well construction drawings】
[Obtained: Magic Pattern Stone*6]
[Obtained: Evergrande Bar*9]
【Obtained: Large resource pack*3】
[Obtained: Advanced Element Crystals *9]
…
"What is the holy water formula?"
With a puzzled look, Cao Xing presented an ancient parchment scroll with a sacred aura in his hand.
【Holy Water Recipe (Orange)】
[Drawing introduction: You can use this drawing to make holy water (orange)]
[Effect ①: Apply to melee weapons to increase the next 5 attacks against undead by an additional 40% light damage]
[Effect 2: You can throw the holy water bottle directly at the undead, causing continuous burning damage to them and reducing the undead's attributes by 30%]
[Materials required for production: Advanced Alchemy Workshop, Glass Bottle*1, Twilight Spring Water*200ml, Evil Spirit Dust*5, Aurora Petal*1. ]
(Item introduction: After discovering that holy water had no effect on vampires, the Vatican changed its research and development direction, and by chance, developed this holy water that is extremely effective against the undead.)
…
"Hey guys, here's the recipe for orange quality holy water!"
Cao Xing was shocked.
As mentioned above, this holy water is extremely effective against the undead.
Whether applied to a melee weapon or thrown directly at the Undead, it can cause serious damage to the Undead.
However, the production requirements of this thing are also very strict. Not only does it require an advanced alchemy workshop, but also Twilight Spring Water and Aurora Petals.
Cao Xing had never heard of these two things.
He temporarily put it into his backpack and then took a look at the properties of the other longbow.
【Withered Spirit Longbow (Gold)】
【Quality: rare】
[Equipment Level: Level 30]
【Attack power: 653~691】
[Attached special effect ①: Agility +150, Strength +80, HP limit reduced by 15%]
[Attached special effect ②: Soul Stealer (30% chance to reduce the opponent's spirit attribute by 150 points when attacking, lasts for 60 seconds, can be stacked up to 2 times)]
[Attached special effect ③: Withered Spirit (When attacking an enemy, there is a 37% chance to reduce the enemy's attack power by 2%, stacking up to 10 times until the battle ends)]
(Equipment introduction: A longbow made from the tree of wronged souls deep underground. It contains a strong aura of the dead, and the user will suffer a certain backlash.)
…
"A longbow that can weaken the enemy's attack power and spiritual attributes?"
"That's not bad."
"However, this thing has a negative state. It will reduce the user's maximum health by 15%."
For Cao Xing, this negative impact is not a big problem.
Anyway, they now have the 44% cap bonus from the Pale Tree.
It just reduces your health by 15%, it doesn't hurt or itch at all.
So, Cao Xing threw it directly to Renis.
Coincidentally, the [Horned Eagle War Bow (Purple)] in her hand is a level 20 equipment, and it’s time to replace it.
By the way, Cao Xing also has a stronger golden longbow in his hand, called the Hunter Longbow, but it is a level 40 weapon and cannot be equipped in a short time.
Renis grasped the [Withered Spirit Longbow (Gold)] and instantly felt a cold breath coming!
However, as a battle-hardened archer, he quickly adapted to the power of the longbow.
There was a look of gratitude in those dark brown eyes.
Renis said softly: "Thank you, respected lord."
Cao Xing smiled and waved his hands, "It's okay, this longbow will only work in your hands."
