Chapter 150 Hidden Quest: Defeat the Night Demon
Lu Cheng wholeheartedly agreed: "That's right, the main reason is that we're too strong. To put it bluntly, the five of us are the best in our 30th district. Whether it's strength or combat experience, we're all top-notch. Just now, for example, my Pear Blossom Needles can't usually unleash such power..."
Hearing his words, Qin Jiu realized something was wrong. "Actually, I don't usually have that much strength. Just now, it was like my Ren and Du meridians were opened, and I suddenly became incredibly strong."
Drinking beverages can increase her strength, but it's far from enough to uproot an ancient tree and throw it away.
I don't know what happened just now, but I suddenly felt a surge of energy throughout my body.
I, the unlucky one, changed the subject: "Haha, maybe it was just the adrenaline kicking in during the crisis. Don't worry about that. By the way, let's hurry up and find the next Night Demon clone."
Qin Jiu nodded, feeling that what he said made some sense, and did not delve into it further.
Meng Qingyin gave him a meaningful look but said nothing.
He turned and met Chen Leying's eyes, and everything was already written in her eyes.
I'm an unlucky person... but that's not simple.
Although he seemed to be the only one who didn't make a move, appearances can be deceiving.
This person's strength should not be underestimated.
Although it remains to be seen whether they will become enemies or friends in the future, for now, they are allies.
Having strong allies is a good thing for them to clear the secret realm.
Therefore, Meng Qingyin and Chen Leying tacitly let the matter drop.
Just as everyone was talking, Zai Zai dealt with the Night Demon clone in a few bites.
Then he led everyone forward to find the next Night Demon clone.
When they encountered the second Night Demon clone, the group, already experienced in killing it, coordinated perfectly and easily took it down in just a few rounds.
Similarly, being unlucky, I still didn't make a move.
But this time, a [Fragment of the Night Demon's Heart] was discovered.
[Night Demon Heart Fragments: These have a chance to drop when defeating Night Demon clones. Collect five Night Demon Heart Fragments to synthesize one Night Demon Heart. They can be purchased from the Traveling Merchant.]
No one moved when they saw the broken piece on the ground.
It's not about racking your brains to get it, but about being afraid that if you make any move, others will misunderstand that you want to keep it all for yourself.
In the end, Meng Qingyin suggested, "You brought us into the secret realm, so you can keep the Night Demon Heart Fragment."
These words were naturally spoken to Chen Leying.
Qin Jiu nodded like a chick pecking at rice: "That's right, that's right, Chen Leying, you keep it!"
Lu Cheng and I, being unlucky, naturally had no objections.
Chen Leying didn't stand on ceremony: "Okay, I'll take this Night Demon Heart Fragment. If more are revealed later, the four of you can decide by rock-paper-scissors."
She carefully stored away the fragments of the Night Demon's Heart, and the group continued on their way.
The subsequent kills went much more smoothly. In less than two hours, the group had successfully killed 19 Night Demon clones and obtained 5 Night Demon Heart Fragments, one for each person.
Moreover, Lu Cheng also discovered that the route Zai Zai led them on was well-planned, and they didn't take any detours.
He became even more curious about the baby's identity.
However, Meng Qingyin clearly had no intention of answering his questions, so he wisely refrained from asking further and simply praised his son sincerely.
Soon, Zaizai led everyone to the last Night Demon clone.
The group worked together to kill him.
The reward for completing the level rang in everyone's ears.
Congratulations on your team's success in clearing the dungeon! Rewards will be distributed after you leave the dungeon! The dungeon gate has opened; your team may leave now.
[Congratulations! Your team has cleared the dungeon within three hours, triggering a hidden quest – Defeat the Night Demon. (Completing this hidden quest grants a perfect clear, and the dungeon will be open to other players. Players entering the dungeon must pay a reward to their team members.) Do you accept the hidden quest?]
Lu Cheng was overjoyed: "There's a hidden quest? If we complete the hidden quest, this secret realm will be open to other players. We can just sit back and collect money?"
Meng Qingyin calmly analyzed: "It is indeed very tempting, but the premise is that we can successfully kill the Night Demon. This time it is not as simple as the Night Demon's clone."
She remembered the animals in the management group saying that 99% of the Night Demon's power was sealed during the novice period. She couldn't imagine what the real Night Demon was like.
This task is extremely difficult, and could even be fatal.
But at the same time, it is also extremely tempting.
Deciding on what to do is a difficult problem.
Chen Leying: "Let's just decide by voting. Those who don't want to take on the task can leave."
After all, it involves life and death, and everyone should have the right to choose.
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Cheng was the first to declare, "I'm not leaving."
Of all the people present, apart from Meng Qingyin who had a brief encounter with the Night Demon whose power was almost entirely sealed, the other players had never faced the Night Demon directly—even Qin Jiu, who had been bitten on the butt, was unaware of the Night Demon's true strength.
Meng Qingyin only fought against the Night Demon when its strength was only 1% of what it used to be. As for the Night Demon after the seal was broken, she was not entirely sure of its true strength.
After Lu Cheng made his statement, I'm Unlucky also jokingly said, "If we can clear the hidden mission, our names will be recorded in history. I can't miss it."
This demonstrates his attitude.
It's also clear that he has great confidence in his abilities.
Meng Qingyin didn't actually pay much attention to the attitudes of these two people.
She looked at Chen Leying and said firmly, "You want to stay."
If Chen Leying didn't want to take on the mission, she wouldn't have bothered asking the players to vote.
Based on her style, she would just leave.
The reason she suggested that those who didn't want to take on the mission leave was probably out of consideration for herself and Qin Jiu.
Chen Leying did not deny it, "Yes."
The reason for staying is simple: it's profitable.
Qin Jiu looked at this one, then at that one, somewhat conflicted: "Um, do you two have a disagreement?"
They were both good friends, and once they had a disagreement, she couldn't leave or stay!
“No,” Meng Qingyin shook her head, “We have no disagreements, and I never said I would back down.”
Now is a great opportunity to get to the bottom of the Night Demons' strength. The five of them are quite powerful, and it will be difficult to gather such a fighting force again in the future.
If we don't take this opportunity to find out the Night Demon's true strength, we may not have another chance.
If she were alone, she certainly wouldn't act so boldly; she would only confront the Night Demon if she had at least a 50% chance of success.
But now there are five of them. Even if they can't defeat the Night Demon, they should still be able to save their lives.
If we really defeat Night Demon...
That would be even better.
No matter how she considered it, Meng Qingyin would not let this excellent opportunity slip by.
