Homecoming through online games

=====================

It is not easy to inquire information from a high-ranking general of a monster.No, strictly speaking, "it shouldn't have been easy".

Although Jiang Wang gave him a wooden plaque that could prove his identity, under the current chaotic situation, the low-level generals of the monsters may not be able to know the details of Jiang Wang's whereabouts, and there is a danger of revealing their identities when they find high-level monsters.Rather than pinning his hopes on this small wooden sign, Ye Mu is still more willing to choose another method that suits his preferences.

First of all, you need to find a large enough monster camp, then you have to sneak in to find out where the monster leader is, and finally you have to face a high-level monster who doesn't know how strong it is and how to fight, and you have to prevent being surrounded by the monsters who heard the sound. back road.

If the purpose is to assassinate, it is much simpler, but to inquire about information... the difficulty level of operation is much higher.

Ye Mu waited patiently for half the night before the monster general around him lessened.

His luck is good, just from the appearance, this is a monster that is very similar to humans in terms of size and activities, even thinner than ordinary humans.This certainly means that it will have some powerful methods that are hard to defend against, but it also shows that it is not a monster that is good at strength.It can be said to be a good target for operations that require survival.

And after observing in the middle of the night, Ye Mu can almost match it with some kind of monster in the game in his memory.

A sorcerer, a rare humanoid monster who is good at large-scale magic attacks and has extremely strong damage.Physique and sensitivity can only be regarded as mediocre among monsters, and they often appear together with big, powerful monsters, so they can be regarded as mages among monsters.Because this kind of monster has high intelligence, it usually has a high status among monsters. If it is compared to the human class, it is almost the same as the Youmeng Demon, and it is similar to the existence of a famous nobleman.

But a sorcerer who can lead an army by himself must have more cards than ordinary sorcerers.And the sorcerer in front of him should be relying on the two demons who have been inseparable by his side all the time.

Seemingly completely harmless, two gray-black "mushrooms" that are no higher than the knees are nestled at the feet of the sorcerer, with oval fat lids and short, fleshy bottom stalks, standing there motionless and silent, like They are two lifeless stone blocks.The sorcerer even used them as stools once, and sat on one of them for a long time.

If it weren't for the two red dots that were always flashing on the map except for the sorcerer, then they really looked like two mushroom-shaped stones without any threat.

Mimic.

It can be said that it is the weakest and most powerful kind of monster.

They are weak because although they have powerful defenses, they have no means of attack. If they are not attached to other monsters, the tiny limbs hidden in the "canopy" and "bottom handle" cannot even support their bodies to move independently. One foot away.

Powerful, because just like the name of this race, when they feel that their life is threatened enough to kill them, they can completely simulate the shape of the monster they ate last time, and they can even transform from a stone pier into a brute monster as tall as a mountain in an instant. .Although this mimicry will expire after one day, and the mimic will die immediately, but during this period, they can perfectly copy the characteristics and combat power of the monster they mimic.

This kind of monster has a bottomless appetite, no matter how huge the monster is, it can eat it up, and when the seemingly fat umbrella is lifted, it is a bloody mouth.And in their brains, which have almost no capacity, eating is the only desire that exists in them.They are rare monsters that can co-exist with other monsters. They are usually raised by monsters with a certain IQ, and they make slave contracts for their use.

In the game, when encountering a monster with a mimic, the best solution is to kill the monster responsible for controlling it before the mimic is activated by the monster, and then leave the "stone blocks" of the mimic in the original place. Land, let it fend for itself, or break through one by one after being fully prepared.Because no one knows what level the new mimic full-blood monster will be after knocking half of the blood out of the stone pier.Because of this unpredictability, it is dubbed an "easter egg" by the players. If any black hands open an earth-level or even sky-level monster, it will be an "explosion egg".

As a player who has been killing monsters in the ancient battlefield all the year round, Ye Mu actually likes this easter egg.Not only can you find some fun for the boring life of spawning monsters, but if the egg really explodes, the killed earth-level or sky-level monsters can also reduce more evil points.It is much faster than killing ordinary monsters.

However, when the game was changed to the reality in front of him, it took him a little time to recognize the two mimics.

Ye Mu crouched in the darkness on one side, taking advantage of the cover of the wooden box beside him, adjusted his breathing gently, ready to go.

The sorcerer is eating.He has held back his anger and watched it bite the human calf for a while, and he will soon find a chance to do it.

The moment the sorcerer's cloaked head turned around, Ye Mu moved.With lightning speed, he rushed towards the sorcerer, and kicked the two mimetic demons aside—this really took twelve points of strength, and the weight was indeed equivalent to two Shidunzi——At the same time, the knife flashed, and after removing the two arms of the magician, the back of the knife struck hard, knocking the magician unconscious.

Everything went well, the next thing to do was to quietly transport the sorcerer out.This doesn't seem too difficult.

After successfully kidnapping the general of the demon army, and deliberately finding a place far enough away from the surrounding demon army, even if the battle makes noise for a while, it will not attract a large group of demons, Ye Mu made the magician out of the way. Wake up and prepare to extract a confession.I just hope that the blow just now didn't damage the magician's brain, and that the other party can still remember the information he wanted.

[Private chat] You said to the sorcerer: Answer my question.

The sorcerer, whose consciousness was still a little confused a moment ago, suddenly changed his expression, as if he didn't even feel the pain of losing his arms, he threw himself on the ground, struggling to press his forehead deeply to the ground , whispered something in a trembling voice.

[Current] Magician (Land): Lord Demon God, please give me your instructions.

...Master Demon God?

Ye Mu suppressed the weird feeling that came to him again.No matter what the reason was, these monsters mistook him for the demon god several times. Since the sorcerer in front of him showed such a docile posture, he would be an idiot if he didn't make good use of it.

[Private chat] You say to the sorcerer: Where is the ghoul's army?

[Current] Magician (Land): Tell your lord, the ghoul and its subordinates are besieging Changyi City.

Seeing the answer translated from the information column, Ye Mu's breath was suffocated.But he knew in his heart that this was not the time to hesitate, and before the sorcerer came back to his senses, he noticed something was wrong, and he had to hurry up if he had any plans.He quickly thought about the possible uses of it, and unexpectedly, from the two mimics who obeyed the sorcerer just now, he thought of the contract he had asked Ye Ming about.

Because Lian Cui kept clamoring to terminate the contract at the beginning, when Ye Ming became an adult, when he remembered this incident, Ye Mu asked Ye Ming about the contract.I learned that in this world, the "natal contract" is an equal contract that lives and dies with the natal spirit and shares life, while the "accompanying contract" is a unilateral master-servant contract.If the master dies, the companion spirit will also die, and the life and death of the companion spirit has no effect on the master, and the companion spirit cannot resist the master's order, so as to restrain the companion spirit from being used by people.

Although according to the rules of the game system, Ye Mu still has four vacancies for companion spirits, he has no interest in catching a spirit creature to sign a companion contract in a short time.However, based on the idea that the more knowledge the better, maybe one day it will be useful, I still learned the specific method of signing the companionship contract with Ye Ming.In fact, the main steps are not difficult, the key is that the selected companion spirit must obey wholeheartedly, and must not have the idea of ​​resisting the contract.

Judging from the rumors he heard about the status of the demon god among demons and the degree of obedience of this sorcerer, this most crucial point is not a problem.But the accompanying contract uses "spiritual creatures" as the contract object, and this one in front of him is obviously a monster through and through.

Ye Mu thinks he can give it a try.

Not only because the metamorphosis demon mentioned that it was willing to make a "servant contract" with him, but also a question that had been in his mind for a long time.

chat system.

This chat system can convert the conversations of monsters into text, and can also display the words of spirits, but only human conversations cannot be displayed, and the private chat objects except for the three children cannot contact other humans.

The three children may be recognized by the chat system because of their identities as natural spiritual beings, or because of the default rules of the system.But excluding human beings, only the language of spirits and demons can be transformed. Does this mean that the two have a certain degree of commonality in law?

Either way, you have nothing to lose by giving it a try.It doesn't matter if it fails, if it succeeds, just use the power of the contract to get the detailed information of the monster's side from the mouth of the senior general of the monster, and kill it after asking.Maybe you can also harvest two attached mimics as thugs.

[Private chat] You said to the sorcerer: Are you willing to sign a servant contract with me?

The sorcerer trembled, as if he couldn't help but wanted to look up, but he forcibly restrained himself.It answered respectfully.

[Current] Magician (land): Lord Demon God, this is my honor.

Ye Mu recalled the detailed steps, and operated them step by step with some jerky, and he was not sure whether the sign language was standard or not.The sorcerer has always been very obedient and pressed his forehead to the ground, letting Ye Mu be busy there.

After a set of procedures, there is no response.Compared with the scene when Jialuo appeared at the beginning, there is neither any peculiar sound and light effects, nor is there any information prompt on the information bar.Ye Mu reckoned in his heart that nine times out of ten it was a failure.

But whether it is successful or not, you have to try it to know.Ye Mu squatted down, put his hand on the sorcerer's cloak, and followed the usual method of calling back Jialuo or Zhufeng to store food, thinking about taking it back.

Nothing happened.Under the palm is still the rough texture of the cloak, and the sorcerer is still in place.

Sure enough, it failed.Ye Mu began to stand up, while preparing to withdraw his hand, while thinking in his heart without any hope, the companion spirit will come out for me.

The hand that was about to leave the cloak stopped, and Ye Mu stared at it in a half-up position, confirming that he saw a golden light flashing past just now.

really work?Is it possible that it will disappear by itself and be summoned again?That's right, maybe there needs to be a transformation process between the two laws.

Ye Mu pressed his hand back again, concentrating on calling out the companion spirit.And the result did not disappoint him, the golden light gradually spread, formed a regular pattern, and began to overflow with brilliance.As the beam of light gradually formed, the light of the pattern became brighter and brighter, and the feeling in Ye Mu's heart became more and more strange.

Wait a minute, the sorcerer seems to be still shivering under his hand, and hasn't disappeared.Then what will this battle call out...?

Before he could finish thinking, a sudden bright white light swept across the entire field of vision, breaking through the dark night like thick ink.Ye Mu had to close his eyes in time so that he didn't miss the most eye-catching moment of light, even so, he could feel the glare of the light through his eyelids.

The light disappeared, Ye Mu vigilantly clenched the long knife, opened his eyes, but couldn't recover his eyesight for a while.He made a decisive decision, first let go of his hand, rolled backward several times, and stood up abruptly.

At this time, he also gradually recovered his eyesight. In his gradually clear vision, the undissipated golden light flowed down, and there was a shirtless man sitting where the sorcerer was just now.

The man has a healthy and strong physique, with dark wheat-colored skin. As the golden light gradually dimmed, Ye Mu discovered that the short hair that he thought was reflected by the light was originally a brilliant golden color.

The light is annihilated, and the surroundings return to darkness.Ye Mu stared at the man who appeared suddenly, and asked in a deep voice:

"who are you?"

No matter how the laws of the system are transformed, it is almost impossible to transform a demon magician into such a strong blonde man!

The man raised his arm that was originally on the ground and pressed it to the side, making a clicking sound.Only then did Ye Mu notice that the sorcerer didn't disappear, but was sat down by a man, so he didn't see it for a while.And when the man pressed it, the sorcerer's head turned into a weird angle, obviously he couldn't survive.

The man spoke, with a deep and mellow voice, speaking in human language.

"Master, this is our first meeting. I am Qingguang."

Ye Mu didn't let down his guard at all because of this title. He was in a state of preparation for battle, and on the surface he was as calm as ever, saying:

"But I have no memory of when there will be an accompanying spirit like you."

The red light on the information bar flickered faintly aside.

[Current] Qingguang (pole): Master, this is the first time we meet.I am Qingguang.
