Gray Mountains
"Who answered it?"
"Commander, a 21-year-old necromancer."
"Necromancer? He's the same as that Calamity-level Awakener."
The leader asked with great interest, "What is her level and talent?"
"this……"
The adjutant felt helpless.
"Why hesitate? If they are highly qualified, just invite them to the military district."
The adjutant stammered, "His talent is high-level, level... 19. Commander, don't you think this guy is just messing around?"
Hearing this, the man stopped smiling. He was usually calm and composed, but now he showed a serious expression.
"The reason why there's no limit on mercenary levels for missions in the No Man's Land is to prevent missing out on talented individuals with great potential.
The original intention of establishing this system was to select talented and powerful players to enter the military zone and help the Dragon Nation establish an advantage in the Five-Star Secret Realm."
The five-star secret realm is different from other star-level secret realms, and is open to players from all over the world.
Therefore, nothing that happens in the secret realm can be guaranteed.
The danger level of the uninhabited area is no less than that of the four-star secret realm.
After entering, you not only have to face monsters that may appear at any time, but also have to be wary of the impact of the environment.
For example, sudden ground fissures, miasma, tornadoes, etc.
This task is both a test and a screening.
"When issuing a mission, are the requirements and the degree of danger clearly stated?"
The adjutant nodded affirmatively. "It's all written in great detail. This mission has been reposted several times, and in the past, no one was willing to take it, even though they knew the reward was generous. I didn't expect someone to suddenly show up today."
"I just contacted the mercenary guild. The girl who accepted the mission is a newly registered mercenary. She just registered and she accepted three missions in a row, one of which is the uninhabited area mission we released."
"Captain, do I need to contact the Mercenary Guild to cancel the mission?"
After all, it is a young life.
"No need. Since she dared to answer, it means she has made her decision. We don't need to intervene. You can go down first."
"Yes, Chief."
The adjutant withdrew, and the remaining man looked down at the information appearing on the data panel and rubbed his temples with a headache.
He is the supreme commander of the Dragon Nation and the world's most powerful awakener, the LV89 Holy Light Knight Bei Longsheng.
At this moment, he rarely showed any doubt.
She is 21 years old, female, a necromancer, and her name is Linzhi.
Except for the high-level talent grades, everything matches.
Could it be a coincidence?
…
The target point of the collection mission that Linzhi accepted was in a mountain range more than 700 kilometers outside the safe zone.
The teleportation array cannot be reached directly, so Linzhi rode the [Undead Centaur] for the next 300 kilometers.
It was already dusk when we reached the outskirts.
After a simple dinner, Linzhi went into the safe house and took a nap.
The next morning, she got up and moved around for half an hour before heading into the mountains according to the map.
There were no mountains here before the end of the world.
It was not until the emergence of high-dimensional games that the earth's crust moved violently, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occurred in various places, and many plains and mountains, and even underground caves, appeared out of thin air.
Along with it are various monsters, props, plants, ores and other resources.
The mountain range that Lin Zhi entered is called the "Gray Mountains". The monster levels are generally between LV25-LV45, and it is rich in white crystal ore and red thorn fruit.
Her mission on this trip was to deliver 100 white crystal ores and 200 red thorn fruits.
White crystal ore can be used to make strengthening stones for equipment below level 30, and red thorn fruit is one of the basic materials for attack potions of any grade.
These two things can be found in many places, but they are scattered. It is said that they only grow in clusters on the Gray Mountains, and you can pick a whole area of them at a time.
If their prices in the [Trading Mall] were not quite high, Linzhi could have acted as a middleman to purchase delivery tasks and make some profit from the difference.
…
There is not much vegetation in the Gray Mountains, only a few scattered hills and valleys covered with yellowish gravel.
The sun could not be seen in the mountains, the sky was gloomy, and there was a layer of fog all around.
Although it was daytime and not night, and the fog was not thick, Lin Zhi still released the undead slaves in advance, using their vision to guard against any dangers that might appear around him at any time.
If someone were here, they would definitely be shocked by the scene before their eyes——
In the already desolate and bleak mountains, a girl in sportswear was walking alone on a steep mountain path.
There was a dense swarm of black-haired mice under her feet, and above her head were flocks of flying black swallowtail butterflies. She held a staff in one hand and a very cute teddy bear in the other.
Every gesture and movement is leisurely.
Compared with everything around it, it is so out of place.
If you don’t know, you might think you have come to some paradise.
[Undead Black Rat] serves as the eyes in front, [Undead Black Swallowtail] serves as the eyes in the sky, and [Undead Bear Doll] serves as another line of defense.
She was not worried about being attacked by monsters. Even if the summoned undead servants failed to discover her in time, she still had a system safe house that she could enter without active control.
That is the last impenetrable line of defense.
This is also the reason why Linzhi dares to walk around in places without any shelter.
She clicked on the game panel and opened the map of the Gray Mountains.
The map was purchased from the [Trade Mall] and is not guaranteed to be accurate, but it is better than nothing.
Too few people are able to explore and map the Gray Mountains, and because of the complex terrain, the markings on the map are confusing.
Linzhi was so confused by what she saw.
The map is opened and closed, closed and opened again.
"Wow, good guy."
Lin Zhi couldn't help but exclaim.
Suddenly, a white line appeared in front of me, perfectly dividing the two places.
It wasn't very far before two worlds appeared.
If the places I had visited before were desolate, then not far away there was greenery, birdsong and flowers.
With the help of the black swallowtail butterfly's vision from a high altitude, Linzhi also saw several figures among the woods.
I didn't encounter any monsters along the way, and my feelings were waiting for me on the other side.
Five of them came at once.
Two of them are elite-level monsters, and three are ordinary-level monsters.
Ordinary monsters are very small, at most 1 meter tall, ugly and cute, nothing special.
The two elite ones next to them are different.
Not only is he sturdy, he is also over three meters tall.
Its appearance is even more ferocious and terrifying - its eyes are wide open, its mouth is split to the roots of its ears, and its exposed teeth are as sharp as knives. It looks like it is not someone you want to mess with.
wrong.
More than five.
There are actually two giant lizards lurking deep in the woods!
Linzhi didn't know about it at first.
Just because she triggered the system task again.
[Ding! A giant lizard (General level) has been detected deep in the woods. The monster has not yet noticed the host.]
[For the safety of the host, an urgent system task is now issued]
[Mission]: Kill any 50 monsters in the Gray Mountains
[Task Completion Reward]: Level Up 10
[Mission Failure Penalty]: None (Super Gold Finger System has exempted the host from the failure penalty)
Lin Zhi was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously controlled the black swallowtail butterfly to fly deeper into the woods.
After a while.
Two giant lizards came into view.
Linzhi's heart skipped a beat.
The two lizards were larger than any giant animal she had ever seen.
They should be a male and a female. The tail of the larger one is estimated to be twenty meters long.
This was the first time that Linzhi encountered a "general-level" monster.
The elite monsters before, even the LV40 treasure chest monster in the last secret realm, could only be considered "high-level".
To be called a "general", one must be at least level 50 or above.
It was agreed that the monster levels in the Gray Mountains were between LV25 and LV45.
If she didn't have the ability to cheat, she would be a dead end.
After complaining about the high-dimensional game, Linzhi turned his attention back to the system panel.
Where would she find 50 monsters to kill?
There is one on the opposite side, but there are not only two elite monsters, but also two giant general-level lizards guarding the depths, so it is impossible to get through.
Then we can only search in this area.
But all I could see was earth and stone, without any trace of any living creature.
But Linzhi also knew that Jinjin would not give her an impossible task.
In other words, it’s not that it doesn’t exist, it’s just that I haven’t found it.
[Host, please note it's "any", there's no level requirement.] Jinjin reminded.
Linzhi suddenly realized something.
She excitedly ran to some barren rocks and began to stare at them intently.
These stones all have gaps, the smallest being ten centimeters and the largest being large enough to hold a basketball.
It's definitely not a crack caused by wind, but rather looks like the residence of some creature.
Lin Zhi took out a plate of pastries with a sweet aroma from the inventory and placed it in the place with the most gaps.
After a while, a rustling sound came from the gap.
Linzhi looked closely and saw several black spots slowly crawling out.
Judging from its antennae, it looks like an ant, but it shouldn't have been mutated too badly.
After all, the giant cockroaches that appeared in their kitchen were two meters long, but these ants were only the size of a palm.
Linzhi tried to check the information, but saw nothing.
The system can ignore level suppression and allow her to see any monster level information, so it is impossible that the ant's level is too high to be detected.
Rather, they are just ordinary ants.
It's just that my body has become bigger for some reason.
She felt a little regretful, but still held on to a lucky attitude.
The Xindao system mission only mentions "monster" and does not say that it must be awakened.
It is bigger than the ants before the apocalypse, so it is reasonable to call it a "monster".
Thinking of this, Lin Zhi took out an unused level 10 knife from the inventory.
He chopped down the "lucky ant" that crawled out first and had already dismantled half of the pastry.
Clean and neat.
Just let its companions eat on the spot.
The prompt sound of successful kill also rang in Linzhi's ears.
[Successfully killed a LV2 ant, gaining experience +2!]
It doesn’t matter whether you have experience or not, as long as you can meet the mission objectives.
Next up is hunting time!
[Successfully killed a LV1 ant, gaining experience +1!]
[Successfully killed a LV3 ant, gaining experience +3!]
[Successfully killed a LV5 ant, gaining +5 experience!]
