Chapter 68: Death Mine
Along the way, the two chose places with few monsters to move forward, and went straight through the Land of the Dead. They passed the area of the Shattered Warrior and reached the Death Mine, unlike taking the main road where they had to pass the refresh areas of the Shattered Knight and Shattered Archer.
This mission has been delayed for too long, and the withered redbud flowers have received a pigeon message from the mission NPC urging them to complete it.
"Puchi." After Lu Hao's dark judgment, the three black knights charged one by one and killed the last Shattered Warrior in seconds.
System prompt: You have entered the Death Mine.
Needless to say, the reward for being the first to enter the Dead Mines was taken by the Withered Bauhinia. Speed is always the sorrow of the mage, and this is the destined ending.
Looking up, the Death Mine is brighter than the Land of the Dead. Some faint glowing spots can be vaguely seen on the ground. The abandoned mine carts and rusty iron tools everywhere show that this place has long been deserted.
However, it was obvious that Ma Yingjie's intuition was wrong. Just as he was thinking this, a man wrapped in white cloth who looked like a Muslim came out of a tattered tent not far away.
Humanoid monster? Ma Yingjie became suspicious and cast a glance at her.
[Ghana's Messenger Kali] (NPC) A messenger from Ghana, possessing great power.

Looking at this guy who had question marks all over his name and brief introduction, Ma Yingjie felt his whole body tremble. He couldn't even see her level. This guy was at least level 60, or even higher. But it was obvious that she was just an NPC, not a monster.
"Hi, brave adventurers, welcome. I'm Curly, the messenger from Ghana City. I'm very happy to meet humans other than undead creatures here." A soft female voice sounded, and a pair of beautiful eyes filled with soul-stirring light looked at the two of them.
"Hello, Miss Curry, we are honored to meet you too. Is there anything we can help you with?" Without waiting for Ma Yingjie to make a move, the Withered Bauhinia took a step forward and placed the Composite Chaos Bow in his hand flat on his chest to show his respect for Curry.
Players are very interested in wild NPCs. As long as the wild NPC is willing to talk to you, it means there is a task waiting for you, such as this one that can be saved or not.
"Beautiful Miss Archer, I envy your beauty. God will bless you with eternal youth. I do need your help with something, but judging from your levels, you two seem to be at a low level. I'm afraid you can't complete this task for the time being."
The envoy of Ghana City, Kali, bowed and said, her hot body was exposed, her waist was like a water snake, and she was more responsible than a withered bauhinia flower. It was indeed a product of the system, so it must be a fine product.
Ma Yingjie, who was watching from the side, swallowed hard. The withered Bauhinia flowers and Curry's hot body were undoubtedly full of temptation to any man.
What's more, two of them appeared in front of Ma Yingjie at the same time. Moreover, Ma Yingjie's self-control was really poor. He could handle one but he couldn't stop being distracted by two.
Perhaps noticing Ma Yingjie's unreasonable gaze, Curry glared at him unceremoniously and said in a cold voice: "Damn it, he's actually a necromancer. Beautiful Miss Archer, how can you be with such a scum who blasphemes the dead?" The latter sentence was obviously said to the withered Bauhinia flowers.
Damn, it would have been fine if that bitch didn’t praise me, but she even came up to show off her power to me. If the level difference between us wasn’t so huge and I couldn’t beat you, I would have killed you immediately and taken your equipment.
"Pfft!"
When the withered Bauhinia heard what Curry said, she looked at Ma Ying-jeou with ill intentions in her eyes, pursed her lips and snickered, and made a noncommittal expression to Curry: "He is my friend, I don't care what his profession is."
"It's really sad that you have fallen to the point of associating with the undead, Miss Archer. You have already desecrated God's trust in you. Now you kill the guy behind you, and I can let God forgive your sins." Curry clasped her hands together, praying, and muttered to herself.
"Damn bitch, you're just going to make trouble for me if I don't give you any." Lu Hao cursed angrily and clenched the Devil May Cry Staff in his hand. He was going to give her a blow before he died.
"I'm sorry, I don't need God's forgiveness. I'll say it again. He is my friend. He came to help me complete the mission. I won't fight him." The withered Bauhinia reiterated her words again, and her voice became unfriendly. NPCs are there to serve players. It's too much for them to be so careless. But it seems that she really has no balls--
"In that case, you should accompany this necromancer to the Temple of Light to repent." Curry said in a cold voice, and in her hand there appeared a white staff that emitted a faint white light.
A dazzling white light rose from the staff - it was the priest's level 80 signature skill, the Blade of Judgment.
The withered Bauhinia flower retreated quickly while drawing its bow and arrow, launching a normal attack at Curry.
miss!
A big dodge floated above Curry's head. The level difference was too big, and the accuracy would drop a lot. This was the terrifying aspect of pressure.
Ma Yingjie decisively hugged the withered Bauhinia flower, which was ready to fight to the death. At the same time, he turned the Ring of the Betrayer, and a portal quickly appeared in front of the two of them.
At this time, the white light on Curry's staff began to spread and secrete, forming small white spots of light, which was the precursor to the activation of the Blade of Judgment.
"boom."
Amidst a hail of flying light blades, the two men disappeared from the spot, and then reappeared more than 20 miles away from here.
"You two little guys run so fast. If you were any slower, the Blade of Judgment would have crushed you to ashes. Humph, you little girls who don't know when to advance or retreat." Curry cursed angrily as she looked at the two people who suddenly disappeared.
"Where is this? Is this the death in Blood Cry? Why is it so wonderful? Wow, what is this soft thing on my body? It feels so comfortable." The withered Bauhinia closed its eyes tightly, feeling a warm object on its body making close contact with it. A happy smile appeared at the corner of its mouth. It turned out that death was not as painful as in other games.
"Hey, do you want to get down? You look slim, but why are you so heavy?" Ma Hao said as he looked at the withered Bauhinia flower that was motionless in his arms. Although he enjoyed this situation, as a weak mage in the game, his strength was too small, so he was exhausted after holding it for a while.
Hearing this voice that destroyed the harmony, the withered Bauhinia opened her eyes in dissatisfaction. When she saw that she was held in Ma Yingjie's arms, she screamed loudly: "Let me go."
Out of a conditioned reflex reaction, Ma Yingjie also shouted and threw the fallen Bauhinia flowers away. The result of this situation was that the fallen Bauhinia flowers came into close contact with the ground.
"Snapped!"
There was a dull thud of flesh falling on the rocks, and the withered redbud flower fell firmly on the uneven rocks. Suddenly, an inhuman pain came, and the screams rang out again, ah, infinite echoes...
"Damn gossip, I will torture you to death when I reach a higher level." Ma Hao swore to the sky that he would give that Curry a good beating.
System prompt: The oath was successful and the system has recorded it.
"..."
"You bastard." After waiting for a long time, the withered Bauhinia pointed at Ma Yingjie and cursed.
"Just let me do it." Ma Yingjie pushed away the responsibility. Wasn't she the one who just screamed like a psychopath that he would accidentally throw her out like a sandbag?
"Are we not dead?" The withered Bauhinia flower seemed to suddenly remember something and looked at Lu Hao strangely. She only remembered that Lu Hao suddenly rushed towards her at the end, and then she appeared here.
"Check to see if your level has dropped." Ma Yingjie was too lazy to explain. Facts speak louder than words, so he told her to just figure it out for herself.
"There's really no monster. I'm only a little bit away from level 42. If I die this time it will mean I'll lose two levels of experience." The withered Bauhinia flower excitedly climbed up, completely ignoring the pain in its body.
"Would you choose between losing a level or being thrown down once? I only threw you down once, but you didn't lose a level. You don't need to repay me. We don't owe each other anything."
Is that the right way to understand it? The withered Bauhinia didn't react for a moment, as if she was beaten by that stinky woman because she saved him.
"Why are we here?" The question of the withered redbud flower returned to the starting point again.
"Because I have it." Ma Hao said as he turned on the light of the Betrayer's Ring, and suddenly the rainbow-like colors were dazzling.
"Is this the Betrayer's Ring that ranks number one on the jewelry list?" The Withered Bauhinia said in a strange voice.
"Yes." Ma Yingjie said and hid the light again. He let her know this just to explain it to her, otherwise Ma Yingjie would have kept this secret.
"That's right. When the zone was first opened, this ring appeared, and right after that, the Nether Dragon Egg, which is your Xiao Hei, appeared. I didn't even connect the two together." The withered Bauhinia slapped his head and cursed himself for having a serious drop in IQ since he started playing the game.
"Don't tell anyone. I don't want too many people to know."
"In fact, I don't need to tell you. Careful players will guess it. When your identity as a necromancer is made public, that will be the time when you are visited by thieves many times." The withered redbud flower said and suddenly laughed, his eyes formed a crescent moon with a faint shadow.
"Damn, it's a thief again." Ma Yingjie cursed, "You're still blaming me? Don't you have three magical artifacts? How come you're okay?" Many people knew that the withered Bauhinia possessed magical artifacts, and Ma Yingjie was also wondering why she could still be so free and easy.
"Hmph, of course. But I can't defeat them in a one-on-one duel. In terms of speed, archers are second only to assassins. My bow happens to have an acceleration skill. After I use it, assassins can't catch up." The withered Bauhinia's face turned cold, and it was obvious that he hated those players who killed people for equipment.
"Can you let me see the properties of your ring?" After struggling for a long time, the withered Bauhinia flower still couldn't hold back its curiosity: "Of course, if you don't want to tell me, just pretend I didn't ask."
"Will you let me see the attributes of your artifact?" Ma Yingjie asked the withered Bauhinia flower.
"No." The withered Bauhinia flower said with a gloomy expression. Yes, I wouldn't let others see it, so how can I force others to tell me the properties of my artifact?
"By the way, didn't you say there is a road to the Undead Mountains from here? Where is it?" Lu Hao looked at the desolate environment around him and the distant where some biological activities were taking place.
"I'm not sure, it should be nearby." The withered Bauhinia looked at the current coordinates and took out the map to explore.
"Then let's go over there." Looking at the direction pointed by the withered Bauhinia flower, Ma Hao said.
The area marked on the map was a large canyon. The raised rocks blocked the view, and there was undoubtedly a basin behind the rocks.
The two of them, with three black knights paving the way, began to move towards that direction at the fastest speed. Of course, this fastest speed depended on Ma Yingjie's speed of action.
Along the way, the skill proficiency of Wings of Light improved a lot. Some lone monsters they encountered were solved by the two of them working together. As for those in groups, the two of them wisely chose to retreat.
…………
After a long journey, the bulge that was far away finally appeared in front of them.
Exhausted and out of breath, Ma Yingjie squatted on the dirty ground, and a huge head popped out from behind the rock.
"Get up quickly." The withered Bauhinia flower shouted at Ma Yingjie while drawing the bow and arrow.
At the same time, the guy hiding behind the rock jumped out and appeared in front of the two.
