The Advent of the Infinite King

Chapter 170 IX Underground Village

The old man patted him on the shoulder in relief, and said, "You are indeed an outstanding swordsman. It has been a long time since we have seen a swordsman in our village. You are the first one to come here in such a long time. "

When Xie Chen heard what the old man said, he knew that it was about the background of this place, so he pretended to be puzzled and asked: "Why hasn't anyone come here for so many years? There is also a village, why haven't you seen it?"

As soon as Xie Chen's voice fell, the old man sighed, looked into the distance, and began to say: "Actually, our village used to be a very lively place with a lot of people. We are very satisfied living here. Life. Until one day, a powerful devil came here. He took control of our rice fields and captured our people. Since then, our village has gradually declined. The number of people gradually decreased, and the outsiders It also gradually disappeared, and the swordsman who used to appear in the village also disappeared. In the past few years, you are still the first outsider."

Xie Chen answered at this time: "The old man said that there are other people in your village? But I don't think there is anyone nearby."

The old man continued: "This is what I want to say. In recent years, because of the devil, many young children have died in resistance, and the devil has kidnapped many people. Now the remaining The clansmen can only live here secretly, save money and food, and life is very difficult."

Xie Chen showed a puzzled expression at this time, and sure enough, the old man smiled wryly when he saw his expression, and said, "Do you want to ask why we still can't get enough to eat while guarding such a large rice field? "

Xie Chen nodded, and then the old man explained: "Young man, don't look at the rice fields everywhere, but we can't touch them. Only a small area around here is the food we can eat."

Xie Chen heard the words and looked in the direction he pointed. Sure enough, he found that the small field here was different from the one he saw on the road. It was obvious that someone took care of it here, but the rice fields on the road were not. The crops, the golden one seems to have no boundaries, but when you think about it carefully, it looks chaotic and too dense.And Xie Chen also remembered that those crops seemed to have matured, but the growth was really much worse than those here, and no one was harvesting them.Only now did he realize that it was because of this.

After a long talk from the old man, Xie Chen finally heard the task that the old man was going to give him, and also knew that the old man was actually a swordsman when he was young, but his vitality was severely injured in the subsequent battle, so he quickly As he ages, he becomes no different from an ordinary old man.This is also the reason why he saw that Xie Chen was excited but did not lose his composure, and it was also because of this that he recognized Xie Chen's identity at first glance.

"So, young swordsman, I wonder if you can help us eliminate the demon king who has occupied our home, and I will give you a generous reward." The old man looked at Xie Chen earnestly, and Xie Chen waited. It was his words, and naturally he would not refuse, so he nodded and said: "Don't worry, I will destroy that demon king." Then he clicked on the task icon that appeared at the same time, and clicked to confirm.

After accepting this task, the old man had a lot of smiles on his face. He went back to the house and picked up the hoe, and said to Xie Chen: "Then come with me and see where we live, trust my clan People will be happy to see you, too."

Xie Chen didn't refuse, and left here with him.Xie Chen was still thinking, how can people hide in such a flat place?As a result, the old man took him into an underground cave. Although it was underground, it was very dry. After passing through a narrow road, it became spacious.

Xie Chen followed in with interest, and then saw two middle-aged men who seemed to be guarding. After seeing the old man, he greeted him and said respectfully: "Patriarch, you are back."

Xie Chen did not expect that this seemingly thin and ordinary old man would be the patriarch.But it's nothing, Xie Chen thought about it for a while and then put it aside.

Then the two middle-aged men saw Xie Chen, and said with some doubts, vigilance and a touch of excitement: "Patriarch, who is the person behind you?

The old man smiled and repeated his beard and said: "This is the devil, an excellent young swordsman. He defeated the puppets outside. At my request, he has agreed to help us get rid of the devil. Let's go back to the ground The day is not far away.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the expressions of the two middle-aged people changed all of a sudden, and they all surrounded Xie Chen and said, "So it's the Demon King, are you here to help us fight the Demon King? Really? Great!"

When Xie Chen heard this sentence, the corner of his mouth twitched, it sounds really strange that the devil beats the devil or something.Then Xie Chen smiled, nodded and said, "Yes, I have accepted the invitation of the patriarch to help you defeat the devil."

After hearing Xie Chen confirm this sentence, the two of them became even more enthusiastic. They welcomed Xie Chen inside, looked at the rather empty underground space, and raised their eyebrows. In fact, living here is not as bad as imagined, is it? It's just that the people inside are just as the patriarch said, all of them have a yellow and thin appearance, and many people's clothes are very worn out.

Seeing Xie Chen appearing here, the villagers living here expressed great curiosity, and then dispersed at the request of the patriarch.After following the patriarch to his residence, Xie Chen sat on a wooden stool that seemed to be relatively old, and listened to the old man begin to introduce their residence. Not long after, a middle-aged man came in, and he took a look at it with embarrassment. Xie Chen said to the patriarch: "Patriarch, I have a request to this swordsman, I don't know if it is possible."

Xie Chen knew that this must be some kind of task or development, so he said directly: "If you have anything to say, just tell me directly, you are welcome."

Chapter 180 Hidden conditions?

"That would be great." The middle-aged man looked grateful, and then said to Xie Chen with some expectation, "Master Swordsman, it is like this. In our village, due to some accidents a while ago, the stored food was consumed a bit. Now the ones that are left are not enough favorites for the rest of the time, so we were like can you help us get some food?"

Then a task appeared in front of Xie Chen, "Villager's Request". After clicking to accept, Xie Chen left with the middle-aged man. There were still a few people who were similar to him waiting outside, and they seemed to be undernourished. look like.

This task is very simple. In fact, it is to help them clear all the monsters in a nearby field and protect them from harvesting.For Xie Chen, this task was a very simple one, so it didn't take long before it was almost done.After he cleared all the monsters here, the villagers hiding in the distance came out and harvested the rice as quickly as possible. This is the ration they depend on for their livelihood. Xie Chen didn't refuse when the little guy appeared, but he did all of this with great interest.There is also a task to fulfill the wishes of Ahua and her friends, which is to give each of them a candy.Fortunately, Xie Chen had some snacks with him, which also contained sugar, so it happened to come in handy.

After going through this series of tasks, Xie Chen found that his reputation has increased a lot here. It is intuitive that the villagers are more enthusiastic about him after returning to the underground cave.

When the patriarch asked him when he would start dealing with the Demon King, Xie Chen remembered the specific contempt on the mission, and said, "Just in these two days, I'm waiting for my companion to come over."

After the patriarch heard this, he nodded in relief, stroked his beard with his hands, looked at Xie Chen with a smile in his eyes, and said, "If you really wipe out the devil king, I will take one of my treasured things as well." As a gift to you, please don't refuse."

Xie Chen was a little surprised now, the patriarch had never said such a thing before.Then he heard what the patriarch said later: "I can also see that you are a good boy with a kind heart. You never refuse our clan's request, so I decided to give it to you too. .”

Xie Chen followed the eyes of the patriarch and saw A Hua and her little friends playing on the side, and he understood in his heart.This should be the effect of reputation points, and maybe it has something to do with the fact that he completed all the small tasks, it should be a hidden condition.

Although I don't know what the patriarch is talking about, but what needs conditions to trigger it is definitely not some rubbish.The corners of Xie Chen's mouth curled up slightly, and he was in a good mood.

When he first received the mission, Xie Chen noticed that this mission could be teamed up, so he contacted Sheng Ye and asked him to arrange a few people to come over, and sent him the map and coordinates.

Not long after, the person notified by Xie Chen arrived.Following the map and coordinates he gave, those who came here were a few people from the strategy team, and Yingshan was leading the team. This young man has grown up now.

The other ones are some ordinary players, but they are also relatively outstanding ones, such as Takuya, who was also pulled over by Kageyama this time.After seeing Xie Chen, they asked Xie Chen curiously, "Leader, what is the mission this time?"

Xie Chen formed a team with them, and then shared the task. After reading it, they understood.

Takuya said excitedly: "It seems that this demon king is a BOSS, that's great, the harvest this time must be not small! I really can't wait to fight the demon king, this demon king is really hateful, he treats these people like this Villagers. What do you think this devil will look like? There should be two horns."

Takuya spoke enthusiastically, but the people on one side had already turned their faces away, unable to bear to watch.Tuo also saw that no one paid him any attention, so he said strangely: "Why don't you talk?"

Kageyama couldn't stand it anymore, so he stretched out his hand and poked him, saying, "Takuya, hurry up and stop talking." Takuya didn't understand, so he looked at Kageyama in confusion, and said, "What's wrong? What are you poking me for? "

Yingshan covered his face with his hands, and said in a low voice, "Okay, just shut up quickly."

Tuoye was still a little aggrieved, Xie Chen looked at it funny, then waved his hand and said: "Okay, this topic is put on hold for now, you go with me to meet the patriarch here first, and take over the task first."

As soon as Xie Chen opened his mouth, Takuya's attention was drawn away.Then it occurred to him that the leader of his family seemed to be called the Demon King, so he now understood why the other people had such expressions, and why Kageyama spoke like that.

Takuya's face became awkward, and he looked at Xie Chen and said with a bit of a tongue gape: "Leader, I, I, I, I didn't mean it, I'm really sorry!"

Xie Chen didn't care about his flowers, so he just waved his hands and said, "Okay, I don't blame you. Now come with me first." Those people followed him, and after communicating with them.Xie Chen found that there were more monsters on the road than when he came here, and they were much more active.It seems that the demon king that the patriarch said should have already taken action.

After returning to the underground cave, Xie Chen saw the patriarch and the people behind him, and almost all the villagers had arrived here.As soon as he saw him, the patriarch came over and said, "Young man, you are back. Are these the warriors following you?"

Xie Chen nodded and said, "Yes, they are all my companions, and they came with me to defeat the Demon King."

The patriarch walked beside Xie Chen and led them towards the largest house in the cave, which was usually used as a meeting hall.Although Xie Chen was very curious about how this group of villagers managed to build such a large project underground, he didn't think too much about it. After all, this is a game, and anything unreasonable can happen.

Chapter 180 New Copy

It is said to be a meeting room, but it is actually a relatively large room with a large table and a circle of stools. The conditions look very simple.

The patriarch sat in the innermost place, and then asked Xie Chen to sit next to him. Yingshan and the others consciously lined up in order according to Xie Chen's position, plus a man sitting next to the patriarch. The space inside has become full.

As for the others, go back and do what you should do.

The patriarch looked at Xie Chen and the others, heaved a long sigh, and said, "Fortunately, you came in time, if it takes two days, it may be too late."

Xie Chen received: "Why do you say that?"

The patriarch replied: "The warriors should have discovered that there are many more puppets outside?"

Yingshan and the others had just arrived, so they didn't feel much, so they looked at Xie Chen in unison.Xie Chen nodded and said, "That's true. Could it be that the Demon King has done something?" Xie Chen said that he could call out the title of Demon King naturally.

The patriarch nodded, and said sadly: "That's right, once these puppets start to move more frequently, it means that he is about to wake up. It was also because he was sleeping that we dared to cultivate some fields near here, and take risks. You stole some food. But now he wakes up, every time at this time, the activities of those puppets will become active, and the number will increase until the devil fully wakes up. Once he wakes up, it will be our disaster. Well, it was because of this before that my clansmen decreased and became like this. So, this time, I just want to ask you to defeat the devil and save our village."

As soon as the patriarch's words fell, a task appeared in front of Yingshan and the others. Because Xie Chen had accepted this task before, there was no need to take it again.

After they all accepted the task, the patriarch said gratefully: "Thank you so much. I heard that the devil robbed a lot of property, and you can take whatever you like as a reward. Also, when the devil wakes up , is when he is weakest, you can take advantage of this opportunity to attack him."

After coming out of the meeting room, Xie Chen said: "It seems that this task still has special requirements, and the time to complete the task should be tomorrow. If you have nothing to do today, you can go here to clean up the monsters. The monsters here seem to be different from those outside. It’s a little different, but it’s okay to use it for practice. If you’re at your level, the experience you can get from dealing with these monsters is also okay.”

Takuya immediately said: "Commander, you are right. The monsters here are indeed different from those outside, and they can ignore a certain degree of defense." Understood.

Xie Chen nodded: "Maybe it's because the monsters here are all puppets that the patriarch said, and they are a different species from other monsters. Maybe it's because of the devil that they ignore defense to a certain extent. So you all Get your spirits up, these aren't those monsters that won't do much harm to you, so be careful."

The team members nodded in unison and said, "Don't worry, leader." Then Yingshan suddenly remembered something, and said to Xie Chen, "Leader, how did you find this dungeon?" "

"Copy?" Xie Chen blinked, "Is this a copy?"

"Captain, don't you know?" Kageyama asked in surprise, "Didn't you receive the notification from the system?"

Xie Chen shook his head, then narrowed his eyes, and said, "Talk to me carefully about the dungeon."

It was only then that Yingshan realized that Xie Chenji didn’t know about the dungeon, so he explained: “Actually, we only found out when we came in again. We were walking along the map route you gave, and then we found out that there is no copy. On the way, I turned around and found a hidden entrance. When I came in, I saw a line of words, and I realized that this is the newly opened copy of The Lost Village notified by the system before, and then I realized that this new copy was triggered by you It was only opened, so the head of the group didn't you know."

Only then did Xie Chen understand, no wonder the environment here is different from the outside, it turned out to be a dungeon, as to why he was the only one who successfully entered and triggered the dungeon among so many people, and why he didn't see the notification from the system, Xie Chen was worried. I have doubts, but it's not the time yet. Maybe I will know after asking the patriarch after the mission is over.

Xie Chen took some people outside and started spawning monsters, probably because they were already in the mission, and those monsters that were eliminated were not spawned again, so they were more attentive and motivated.If you farm more now, it will be easier when you fight the BOSS. These monsters should be the mobs before the BOSS, and the pressure will be less when you kill them early.

"Leader, do you think this dungeon has only one big boss as the team leader said, or will it have several bosses like the others?" Yingshan asked standing beside Xie Chen.

Xie Chen rubbed his chin and shook his head: "I don't know about this, don't care how many there are, just kill them all."

"Hey, leader, you are right." Kageyama scratched his head and replied.However, Xie Chen has actually considered his question. According to the general situation, there should be about three bosses in a dungeon, but this dungeon looks rather strange, so there is only one final boss plus a large number of mobs Maybe.

Xie Chen wanted to take a look first, but he had no choice but to look at the mountain and sigh before the boss woke up.That's right, the place where the BOSS is located is a mountain. Although it is not particularly high, it is a mountain.It is very abrupt to have a mountain appear on such a plain terrain, but the staff who made this dungeon have particularly good art skills, and the whole scenery is still very beautiful.

So now, Xie Chen can only wait for the moment when BIOSS officially wakes up, and before that, he can only practice with that little monster.Xie Chen glanced at the countdown timer above, there were still thirteen hours before the boss would wake up, almost one night.It's eight o'clock now, that is to say, nine o'clock tomorrow is when the battle will officially start.

Chapter 180 Reaching the Foot of the Mountain

That night, Xie Chen and the team members did not go back, but took a rest in the cave. After all, this is a dungeon, and they didn't just go out.After talking to Asuna about the situation, Xie Chen closed his eyes and fell asleep on the simple but clean bed.

At eight o'clock the next day, Xie Chen gathered his team members, and the patriarch led his people to stand at the exit of the cave to see them off: "I wish you success, young man."

Xie Chen brought Yingshan and the others to the foot of the mountain. The current time is 10:[-], and there are still four or ten minutes until the boss wakes up.Along the mountain road all the way up, it didn't take long before I met a bunch of mobs, and it seemed that the official entrance to the mountain was behind them.

Without thinking too much, Xie Chen took the lead and rushed over. Although the mobs here are not very high level, they are all between 55 and [-], but there are too many of them, they are all in the shape of plants, friend puppets, birds species and a few animals.They not only followed each other, one after another, but also ignored certain defenses, so it was still a bit tricky to deal with.

After they cleared the mobs here, they found that nearly 10 minutes had passed, and it was already [-]:[-].Xie Chen frowned slightly, it seemed that it was not as easy as he thought.

Then he stepped forward, trying to pass through the mountain gate, but found that he was blocked.A transparent film is at the door, blocking outsiders.Xie Chen stretched out his hand to touch it, and there were layers of ripples on it, just like the undulating water surface, as if he could pass through it with his hand.But when you use your strength, you will find that the seemingly soft and clear film is incomparably tough, no matter what you do, you will not be able to cross it.

Xie Chen raised his eyebrows, looked over, and found that the ripples spread far away from his eyes, that is to say, the protective film actually isolated the entire mountain, and it was impossible to go around it from other places of.

So he said: "It seems that we can only go in when the time comes. Now we will rest here, adjust our state, check the equipment and items, and see if there is anything missing."

The other team members also noticed this, so they randomly found a place to sit down. In the scuffle just now, quite a few of them were injured, so it's time to recuperate.Then Xie Chen said again: "Have you equipped the high-defense equipment that you were asked to put on?"

Yingshan nodded: "It's already been replaced. I saw the effect just now, and it's much better than when I first came here." Others said the same thing.But Xie Chen was still not satisfied, frowned and said: "Your equipment is still not good enough, now only the little monsters are like this, and you will definitely suffer when you face the boss." Some equipment came out, mostly accessories and the like, but there were also some breastplate cloaks and the like.He said to Yingshan: "You divide these things up, each person takes one or two, and try to pile up the defensive attributes as much as possible."

Seeing Xie Chen take out these things, the team members had guesses in their hearts, and now hearing what he said, it really was so, so they hurriedly said: "Thank you so much, leader."

Then Xie Chen leisurely said: "You can exchange these with your contribution points, and transfer all the points to me later, and I will give you a [-]% discount."

As soon as these words came out, several members of the Raiders all turned bitter faces, because they didn't have many points and money. After all, they almost all got the aggregation equipment before. For this, they can be said to use up their contribution points. It is almost the same, and now it can be said that it is poor and white.And it can't be returned after use up, because many of them are bound, and they can no longer be traded after they are ready.

On the contrary, the team members who didn't get the aggregation equipment were all smiles, [-]% off, it's really worth it to get such equipment.So they hurriedly said: "Thank you, Captain, we can paddle now."

As soon as these words came out, several members of the Raiders team became even more depressed. They didn't want to give up their equipment, but they didn't have any points, so they wanted to discuss it with Xie Chen: "Leader, can we owe it first? Wait until later and pay back slowly." .”

Xie Chen said: "Actually, you don't need it. The few aggregation equipment in your hands can almost cover it."
