Chapter No.17 Task snatching and decryption rewards

"Excuse me, let me borrow it."

Whether it is day or night, the public wine market is still as hot as ever, full of noisy crowds.

Squeezing through the crowded crowd, Guta protected three female teammates, carried Qiao Qiao on his shoulders, and came to a notice board with difficulty.

It was a thick wooden board with a height of nearly three meters, and it was covered with densely packed quest lists. On the side, hunters who were not tall enough were provided with a metal pole clip for picking up quest lists from high places. Thoughtful.

It is worth mentioning that there are nearly ten yuan left for such a mission bulletin board.

Should it be said that it is the so-called hunter's lair, East Doruma?

The intensity of the task is really not covered.

"Qiaoqiao, have you seen any suitable missions?" Guta held up the Elu cat with one hand, while he was looking through the gaps in the crowd in front of him, struggling to observe the mission list below.

The smell of sweat caused by the heavy flow of people seriously injured his sensitive nose, and he just felt uncomfortable all over.

"I found it. There is a hunting mission for the flying dragon species, which is very close to Dongdoruma!" Jojo's excited voice sounded from the top of the ancient tower.

Almost at the same time, Guta noticed that several people around him were all looking at him.

There was a thump in his heart.

"No, Qiao Qiao, hurry up and grab it!" Before he had time to explain, Guta directly pulled Qiao Qiao up and threw it in the direction of the mission board.

Almost at the same time, three other Elu cats of different colors flew out from the crowd and headed straight for Jojo's landing point.

"This task will not be given to you!"

Qiao Qiao, who was still in mid-air, punched a Cat Punch that was the first to fly, and the moment it landed on the mission board, he bounced back and knocked down the cat with an elbow. Another white Elle cat.

"Mu Da~ Mu Da, this task is ours now, meow~" A black Merlu cat yelled and passed over Qiao Qiao's head, and a pair of cat claws went straight to grab the white monster behind him. Image of the task sheet.

Merlu cats are a kind of orc race similar to Elu cats. Generally speaking, they are similar to cats on Earth, but their personality is a little hotter.

"Sorry, I said, this task will not be let out."

In the next second, before the black cat could react, a white tail wrapped in light blue smoke, like a steel cable, mercilessly sent the black cat flying.

Pulling off the task list from the bulletin board with ease, Jojo bounced back and landed on Guta's shoulder lightly.

"Thanks for your hard work~" After touching fists with Qiao Qiao, Guta protected his teammates and began to retreat in an orderly manner.

Vaguely, he heard the unwilling cry of the Merlu cat just now, and the curse of "Damn Ellu cat, you wait for Miss Ben!".

"Hey, it seems that someone has talked about it." Guta laughed teasingly and looked at Qiao Qiao who was on his shoulder.

"Melu cats are very hot-tempered, let alone females, just ignore them." Qiao Qiao said nonchalantly, crossing her chest.

The female Merlu cat just now, although her skills were not bad, was nothing more than that.

I have already been merciful, and I didn't even use three points of strength. If the other party is really entangled, don't blame him for being ruthless.

Holding the list, a group of people walked out of the crowded public wine shop.

"Let's leave this kind of work to Guta and Qiaoqiao next time. I found that there are so many people squeezing in, it doesn't make much sense." Weiwei slowly put down the arm protecting her chest, and fanned it with her hands desperately. wind.

For a tall, well-built female hunter like her, the situation just now shouldn't be too uncomfortable.

Nia and Miejuan Qiqi withdrew their eyes from Weiwei's chest and looked at each other expressionlessly.

Sometimes, not everyone can empathize.

"Well, this is up to you, let's look at the mission first." Guta was not very interested in this topic, and directly shook the mission list in his hand, motioning for everyone to look at it.

"Is this a strange dragon?" Looking at a white monster that looked like a long strip of leeches on the task list, Guta frowned in disgust.

The strange dragon, also known as the white electric dragon and the rare white dragon, is a strange flying dragon species that lives in damp caves all year round.

Although such a description is a bit vulgar, to be honest, describing it as a white "genital" with sharp teeth is basically more objective and respects the facts.

Due to living in dark caves all year round, its eyesight and flying ability have long been completely degraded, and it even has no eyes.

Instead, it has a well-developed sense of smell, and a thick epidermis and fat layer that greatly reduces physical damage.

It is a monster that looks so weird that it can even make people feel physically uncomfortable.

"Don't pick and choose, at least it's a powerful monster in the upper ranks. It's not easy to get this task from so many colleagues." Nia took the task list from Guta and found a waiting number. Relatively few teams began to wait patiently.

After the task order is received, the Kanban lady needs to be registered in the register, and the formal acceptance work has been completed.

Although it will take some time to do so, at least it can ensure that there will be no situation where multiple teams execute a task at the same time.

Idle is also idle, Guta simply went to the public wine market.

Slightly bypassing the bar for drinking and having fun, Guta went straight to the huge newsstand full of various pictures and animal skin books.

It was a three-meter-high building that resembled a mushroom. Inside were two young men with long ponytails and round-rimmed glasses who looked like scholars.

"Well, where are you?" Guta looked down at the various newspapers and books piled up on the shelves, and asked curiously.

"This is the Monster Consulting Office, which is a place to provide hunters with monster consultation and release decryption tasks." A teller was obviously familiar with this situation, and explained with a smile.

"Decryption mission? What do you mean?" Guta was a little confused.

"It is to help explore the unsolved mysteries that have not yet been revealed. This is the wide-area reward mission of the Longli Academy for the whole continent."

"As long as you can solve the unsolved mysteries released by Longli Academy, you can get huge bonuses far beyond ordinary tasks, and you can even use this to obtain ancient weapons and props in the secret vault of Longli Academy."

Another young man who looked more mature and had relatively dark skin adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose and said word by word.

"Uh, it must be difficult." Guta scratched his head, and looked at the surprisingly thick booklet that the young man handed over with some hesitation.

The words "Declassification Manual - New Calendar 589 Edition" are impressively written on it.

"This is the editor-in-chief's special on this year's Declassified mission, which itself is freely available."

"Whether you perform decryption missions or not, I recommend that you bring this booklet with you. After all, the decryption rewards and the daily missions do not conflict in essence. You can selectively attach Complete the decryption task."

The young man smiled and continued:

"We have classified the existing unsolved mysteries according to different regions and types of monsters. If you encounter corresponding monsters or special environments, there is no lack of reference to the task list in this booklet for observation, and there may be surprises. happiness."

"As I said, the rewards for the decryption mission are definitely beyond your imagination."

Looking at the young scholar whose eyes seemed to be burning, Guta was taken aback for a moment, then nodded and accepted the booklet.

In addition to hunting, it seems that they have found new fun again.

Chapter 18 Decryption task: [Investigation of the recipe of the strange dragon red subspecies]

Twenty minutes later, Nia, who had completed the task registration, saw a group of teammates sitting on the bench at the entrance of the public restaurant, talking a lot.

"Look at this, the steel dragon and the Yanfei dragon who frequently appear somewhere in the sea of ​​trees, what can I say, these two guys definitely have an affair."

"Don't talk nonsense, those two are ancient dragons, I don't want to find out whether there is a green grassland on the head of the Yanwang dragon, look at the mystery of the blood relationship between the black wolf bird and the female fire dragon, I feel that the two are very similar when I fight Let’s check it out next time we have a chance.”

"What are you doing?" Nia leaned over curiously.

"Talk about the new pamphlet that Guta got~" Weiwei beckoned, and looked at the few people gathered in front of a booklet of animal skins, "It seems that if you solve the puzzles recorded on it, you can get rich rewards .”

"Let me see"

Reaching out for the booklet, Nia casually flipped through a few pages and read a piece of information about the decryption mission.

"The decryption of how the taboo black dragon maintains its own hygiene, the reward: the dragon marrow annihilation cannon with extreme output, with thirteen ancient dragon spinal cords"

In the middle of reading, Nia couldn't read any more.

Is this mission serious?

Regardless of the significance of exploring such nonsensical secrets, it is the black dragon known as the king of taboos, the chief culprit who once destroyed the kingdom of Gushurad, does anyone really dare to approach it?

Compared with this hell-level difficulty, the rewarded ancient dragon spinal cord and weapons are just ordinary.

"Well, it's not all this kind of scary deciphering task." Guta scratched his head, reached out and turned to a page.

"Look, there is a decryption related to our mission"

Slightly taken aback, Nia looked intently.

【Recipe Survey of Strange Dragon Red Subspecies】

[There are eyewitness reports showing that this subspecies, which is suspected to be the original individual of the strange dragon, seems to be an omnivorous monster. We are very curious, please confirm this.]

[Task requirements: Bring the complete stomach of the strange dragon back to the monster consultation office in any stronghold]

[Reward: 10 Dragon Calendar Points]

"Wait, how much?" Nia rubbed her eyes and looked at the booklet in disbelief.

"1010 million!?" The girl exclaimed in surprise.

"Well, we were all taken aback when we first saw it, and it seems that these points can be exchanged 1:1 with z coins. Of course, the most cost-effective way to use them is to exchange for the treasures and special services of Longliyuan. After all Z coins can’t be exchanged for the points of Longli Academy.”

Guta rested his chin and analyzed slowly.

At this time, Qiao Qiao waved his paws aside, and said excitedly: "I heard from the hunter nearby that it seems that the swamp area we are going to has someone strayed into the place of a strange red dragon a while ago. Cave, escaped after a hard fight."

"Hmm, our mission requirement is only to hunt a strange dragon, can we take action against the subspecies?" Guta District scratched his head and looked at Nia beside him with some doubts.

She has in-depth research in this area, so she should know a little about the relevant judging criteria.

"It shouldn't matter, except for some two monsters that need to obtain the permission of the guild before they can be hunted. The general subspecies and special variants don't seem to be restricted."

Nia tapped the bench under her body with her pale fingers, and said in a deep voice.

"That's fine, the only problem now is"

"Can you find that subspecies?"

Guta pinched his knuckles, his face full of anticipation.

Whether it's the ability of the strange dragon subspecies, or the bounty of the decryption task, he doesn't want to miss any of them.

Borrowing an empty car from the post station outside the stronghold, the Canglanxing team skillfully tied the noose to the chocobo wearing a full set of bird armor, and then boarded the car one after another.

"Snowball, go!" Weiwei bluffed and shouted. Upon hearing the instruction, Snowball excitedly paved the ground with her feet, fluttered her wings a few times, and then began to run at top speed.

Along the way, the scenery on both sides passed by quickly, and everyone in the car spread out the map to analyze the strategy of searching for strange dragon subspecies.

"The swamp is not too far from East Doruma. With Snowball's footsteps, it takes about two hours to get there. The problem is how to find the red subspecies from those swampy valleys." Nia Pointing to the map with his finger, he frowned and said.

"That's why I took Schiff with me." Guta rubbed the head of Schiff, who was lying on the ground with his tongue sticking out and sleeping soundly, "Its sense of smell is much more sensitive than that of ordinary tooth hounds. "

While talking, Guta took out a glass bottle from his pocket.

It was filled with a viscous white liquid.

"What is this?" Mie Jin blinked his eyes curiously, and his small face gradually approached.

Before Guta could show off and solve the mystery, Weiwei reported the answer directly, "This is the body fluid of a strange dragon, a special leachate that can improve the effect of medicine."

For an experienced blacksmith like her, the identification of materials can be regarded as the basic skill among the basic skills.

The same is true even in the unfamiliar field of medicine.

After all, the two are common in many cases, and even some leaching liquids and blending liquids can be directly used in the forging of equipment by changing the formula.

"Eh yes." Guta hesitated to speak, and finally nodded with a sad face.

"I heard from the scrivener team member of the Monster Consulting Office that the subspecies of the strange dragon are not much different from the strange dragon except for the scarlet skin. Even the leachate is completely the same."

"Considering that all the strange red dragons witnessed today seem to be very old, so he personally speculates that the strange white dragons that we see today may be a subspecies of the strange red dragons. They lived in caves for a long time and gradually became infected. The result of albinism."

"The topic is a bit far away." After a pause, Guta continued, "In short, even the body fluids of ordinary strange dragons have little difference in smell from those of the red subspecies, so Schiff can use this to track them. "

"It's nothing more than trying a few more times. With our mobility, it's not that difficult to get rid of the strange dragon's entanglement." Guta gave everyone a serious look.

"I think it's okay." Jojo was the first to express his opinion.

Although he doesn't like muddy swamps very much, and he doesn't want to drill around in the mud, but if he can complete the decryption with rich rewards, then Jojo can't bear it.

He's not the spoiled, spineless Elucat.

"We have no problem, but it's best not to delay too late. The view of the swamp at night is too poor. Using torches will easily cause attacks from other monsters, which is too dangerous."

Nodding her head, she looked up at Nia, who was at the position of the sun, and gave a little more advice.

Considering the journey, they only have about three to four hours of search time.

Before that, if you still can't find it, you must consider withdrawing first.
