Chapter 68: Bounty Mission: The City Massacre Murderer
Han Xing observed the bodies on the ground and came to a conclusion.
This should not be the body of a child, but that of another race in this world, the dwarves.
"dwarf?"
Han Xing sounded a little confused.
On the side, Zhang Lianmeng looked at him with curiosity.
Han Xing didn't explain, but continued to check the ground around him.
It would have been better if I hadn't looked at it, but once I did, I gasped.
The floor of the cave was littered with skeletons of various wild beasts and humanoid creatures. These skeletons had different features. Some had horns on their foreheads, some had wings on their backs, and the height of the skeletons ranged from two or three meters to one or two meters.
There is no doubt that these corpses are special creatures in this world.
Among them, Han Xing also saw several bodies that had died not long ago. Their deaths were very strange, with their skin intact and not even a trace of blood.
However, the flesh and blood in their bodies seemed to have been drained away, leaving only a thin layer of human skin covering the skeleton.
Han Xing turned around and asked, "Is this the man you found in the goblin camp last time?"
Zhang Lianmeng nodded like a chick pecking at rice. Although she was still very scared, she didn't know why she felt a sense of security when Han Xing was by her side.
Han Xing clearly felt that this cave was a little weird.
And so far, there are no clues to trigger the next step of the hidden mission, nor any traces of ancient weapons.
Han Xing began to continue searching in the cave.
Half an hour later, they had walked around the place for a long time, but found nothing except the skeletons of hundreds of corpses.
However, he did get a piece of information, which is that the area of this cave is really large.
According to conservative estimates, the diameter is at least two kilometers.
At this moment, Zhang Lianmeng suddenly pointed forward and said, "There seems to be something painted on the wall."
"Um?"
Han Xing quickly looked in the direction she pointed, and indeed saw some graffiti-like patterns.
Taking a closer look, Han Xing discovered that the style of these patterns was more realistic, more like murals.
Han Xing walked to the beginning of the mural, which depicted a man from the elf tribe with pointed ears and long limbs.
He sat on a high branch, smiling, overlooking a village below.
But in the second mural, the style of painting suddenly changed, as if it was a scene of the elf man being bullied, stepped on and beaten by several other elves.
In the third mural, the elf man retreated into his small room, silently shedding tears. Standing at the head of the bed was a middle-aged elf with a terrifying face, looking at him with a weird smile.
Especially the deep pupils of the middle-aged elf, which were painted very vividly. Han Xing could feel the creepy feeling from the mural.
The fifth, sixth, and even dozens of subsequent murals all depicted the elf boy being bullied.
From his adolescence to his youth, the elven man has been bullied by other elves, and his temperament has become increasingly gloomy.
But what is weird is that in every picture, there is a middle-aged man with a scary face, hiding in the corner and watching silently.
Until the 30th mural, the elven man was kneeling beside his bed, and lying on the bed was the middle-aged elf who often appeared in the picture.
Looking at the dying appearance of the middle-aged elf, the elven man not only did not feel the slightest heartache, but instead revealed a smile of relief.
However, even after the elf died, his situation did not seem to get better.
He still endured insults and beatings from other elves.
What’s even more terrifying is that the elf man still felt those terrifying eyes staring at him.
Didn't that guy die a long time ago?
He thought so.
It was not until the fifty-third mural that an elf girl with a gentle smile on her face appeared. She was like a ray of light shining into the darkness, and also illuminated the life of this elf man.
She was friends with him for two days and then left.
Whenever the elf man felt that he could not hold on any longer, he would think of the smiling face of the elf girl, and the corners of his mouth would unconsciously reveal the same smile as hers.
However, when he saw the elf girl reappear, she was already walking with an elf who often bullied him. The psychological defense that the elf man had built up with great difficulty was torn apart at this moment.
He ran to question the elf girl, but was met with ridicule and beatings.
The elf man fell to the ground covered in blood. Faintly, he seemed to see the shadow of the middle-aged man appear again, squatting and whispering in his ear.
The elf man went crazy.
He returned to his room, drew a strange magic circle, then cut his wrist and let the blood flow.
A phantom of a terrifying existence appeared in the magic circle. The elf man knelt down respectfully before him when he was dying, and he also gained powerful strength.
The elf man went to find the girl with a smile on his face. He thought that after gaining power, he would be able to regain her recognition.
However, the girl was so scared when she saw him that she stepped back repeatedly, her eyes were as if she was looking at a monster.
It was not until this moment that the elf man saw his current appearance.
His dark brown hair began to fall out in clumps, then his eyebrows, which all fell off with the slightest touch, and finally, even the hair on his body fell off without a single hair left.
He was like a naked monster, standing on the street, receiving strange looks from his peers.
However, the changes are far from over.
After all his hair fell out, his nails also began to fall off and grew sharp claws. At the same time, his nose became as swollen as that of the Grunt.
Not only that, his arms were attached to his body and grew a pair of huge flesh wings.
At this moment, he turned from a noble elf into a hideous monster bird.
The elves quickly called in guards to hunt down this monster.
When the sharp spear pierced his chest, the elite man's eyes widened, and the fear of death made him subconsciously flap his flesh wings.
At this moment he discovered that he was actually flying.
The elf man began to spread his wings and run wildly, his eyes filled with hatred and anger.
He rushed to a secret place in the center of the town, carried out a huge golden cannon, and began to madly bombard the town.
Countless elves died tragically under his artillery fire, and the town turned into a sea of fire.
After doing all this, the elf man turned and ran away.
And of course he was wanted by the elves.
During his desperate escape, the elf man found an ancient magic circle when he was desperate.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
The place where the magic circle leads to is called the Land Forsaken of the Gods.
That place seemed to scare the strange bird.
However, in order to survive, he finally activated the teleportation array.
At the end of the scene, the elf man finds a floating island and goes into the forest.
But what he didn't notice was that there seemed to be a dark shadow that followed him to the island.
…
After reading this, Han Xing seemed to understand something and had a bad feeling in his heart.
He said in a serious tone: "It seems...something went wrong."
Zhang Lianmeng looked nervous, her body shaking slightly, "What's the problem?"
Han Xing frowned, "So far, we haven't found any clues about the hidden mission."
"Come to think of it, when I came into contact with that piece of metal fragment, the system didn't tell me what kind of hidden mission it was. It just said that the piece of metal fragment could be used to open the giant stone door."
"In other words, what the NPC told you might be false, and we were fooled!"
"What?" Zhang Lianmeng's body trembled, her face full of disbelief.
At this moment, a pair of red eyes suddenly appeared in the depths of the dark cave.
Behind him, terrifying sounds of wind could be heard from time to time.
Han Xing obviously realized that something was wrong and quickly said, "There's a monster, run!"
But now, it's too late.
A terrifying monster came at high speed from behind with a whistling sound.
Han Xing quickly took out the legendary Moon Crown Longbow and instantly entered combat mode.
However, at this moment, a terrible hurricane hit them head-on.
call--
Han Xing and Zhang Lianmeng were blown back more than ten meters by the hurricane.
The dark flint torch fell out of his hand.
With the help of the fiery red light, Han Xing finally saw the creature that attacked them.
It was a terrifying bird that was over two meters tall, had a pair of huge fleshy wings, and had not a single hair on its body.
It was exactly the same monster as the one shown on the mural.
Just at this moment, the system prompt came.
[You have found the hiding place of the elf traitor Caleb, and the bounty mission, 'City Slaughterer', is automatically triggered. You can complete the mission according to your own choice.]
[Option 1: Kill the strange bird Caleb, take its head to the Elf Capital, and claim the reward.]
[Option 2: Go to the Elven Capital, tell the Elven Guards where Caleb is hiding, and help them capture Caleb.]
Please note: Because you are in the 'Land Forsaken of the Gods' and the 'Capital of the Elf King' map is not yet open, this quest cannot be completed for the time being.
"Damn, this turns out to be the real hidden mission!"
Han Xing turned around suddenly and met the monster's bloodthirsty eyes.
Almost without thinking, he shot out a wind-chasing arrow.
Ding! Seeing the arrow coming, the strange bird flapped its wings, creating a hurricane that blew the arrow aside.
This arrow had no effect, and Han Xing's heart sank.
It was at this moment that he finally saw the attributes of this monster.
[Monster Bird Caleb (One-star leader-level creature)]
[Level: lv10]
[Attributes]: Strength 94, Agility 132, Spirit 105 (-30), Constitution 76 (-30). [Skills]: Wailing Wind, Flesh Wings Protection, Giant Claw Bite, Shadow Assault, Wild Wind Dance. "It's actually a level 10 boss-level creature!"
Han Xing's face changed drastically!
