Chapter 70 - 70 Fog Fire Demon Wolf
Ken nodded and got on the ox cart again. “I know. He’ll live in our hearts forever.
Everyone in our team was prepared. When someone’s gone, the others would live on for him.
“Captain Fang Ping, you guys can do it. I’ll leave first.”
Seeing him leave in the ox cart, Qing Niao was still a little angry. “What does he know? Live in our hearts. I’m so angry.”
Fang Ping said, “Andre’s situation is special, and it’s not easy to explain. There’s no need to explain to him. He can think whatever he wants.”
“Sigh.” Jeanne sighed beside him. “But it’s hard to say what will happen to Andre. I’ve never heard of anyone in the same situation as him. Let’s hope Ivan can resolve it.”
After returning to York Town, Fang Ping and Qing Niao went to the Mission Building under Jeanne’s guidance.
The mission building here was similar to the team’s. There were many people.
There was also a wooden sign hanging on the wall here, making Fang Ping feel like he had to choose a job.
However, the wooden token did not have jobs like sweeping, standing guard, and collecting money. It was basically related to battle.
“Buying a new fungus, three copper horns.
Collect a map of the Dark Forest, price negotiable.
Purchasing Elf Weapons, price negotiable.”
Fang Ping read the contents of the wooden sign. He felt that it was similar to the market. They were all purchasing various things.
“Take your things to the counter. You need to use your identity card,” Jeanne said.
Fang Ping signed a Magic Contract that prohibited the sale of energy fragments and any form of gift.
Then, Fang Ping successfully received three Energy Fragments and a bottle of Golden Body Medicine.
Just as Fang Ping was holding the items and waiting for Qing Niao to sign the Magic Contract and collect the items, someone walked to the wall and hung a red wooden sign on it.
“It’s a hunting mission. Do you want to go take a look?” Hearing Jeanne’s words, Fang Ping looked over and realized that many people around him had also leaned over.
“A three-man team was attacked by a Magical Beast. Two Class 2 Warriors died. The target is a wolf-type. It was three meters tall and completely gray. The known skills are Mist and Fireball.
It was suspected to be a Superior-grade Fog Fire Demon Wolf. Its characteristics were Running and Dodging.
It is located in the 3rd and 4th districts of the Dark Forest.
Mission reward: one silver dragon and 120 mercenary points.”
After Fang Ping finished reading the introduction, he asked Jeanne, “Do you know what characteristic Dodge is?”
“Characteristic Evasion. When you receive physical damage, there’s a 50% chance of dodging the attack.” After Jeanne finished speaking, she shook her head. “The hunting mission in the Dark Forest is such a tough nut to crack. Why would anyone accept it?”
Hearing Jeanne’s words, Fang Ping looked around. Many people gathered around to take a look, but after they were done, they shook their heads and left.
“Is it because the mission rewards are too poor?”
Jeanne, on the other hand, looked at Fang Ping in confusion. “Aren’t you an Excellent-grade mercenary? Don’t you know?”
Fang Ping smiled awkwardly. He really did not know.
“I’m just lucky. Actually, I don’t know much about these things,” Fang Ping explained.
Now that he thought about it, he was really lucky back then.
Lingling, who was an innate Awakened, was just in time to dispel the stunned state of the Blood Boiling Troll.
The Blood Boiling Trolls happened to be in the Blood Boiling Realm, which had the highest strength.
The Aurora Demon Wolf happened to be in the air and could not dodge.
The Blood Boiling Troll’s attack happened to trigger a critical hit.
Coincidentally, all of them had gathered together, allowing Fang Ping to obtain this blue mercenary token.
“Rely on luck? Then your luck is really good. Did you rely on luck to kill an Excellent-grade Magical Beast? Or ten Excellent-level Magical Beasts?”
“What are you talking about?”
Fang Ping turned around. Qing Niao had also walked over. He seemed to be in a good mood.
“Hunting mission? Let me see… Hmm, I don’t think anyone will accept it.”
Fang Ping asked, “Why?”
Qing Niao explained, “The main purpose of hunting missions is to earn money. We can obtain general information, but there are so many Magical Beasts in the Dark Forest. Why should we specially go in to find it? Moreover, looking at its skill description, I feel that it should be quite strong.”
“Well, not just strong, but worthless.”
Jeanne said from the side, “Magical Beasts with special characteristics are the most troublesome. Whether it’s chasing or escaping, they’re very agile.
There was also the Dodge characteristic, which was equivalent to halving physical damage. Whether a Mage used skills or energy bullets from the staff, they needed to consume energy. In order to kill it, who knew how much energy it would take.
Lastly, there’s the benefits. The skills of the Fog Fire Demon Wolf, the fog, and the fireball are all ordinary skills. Even if they appear, they’re only 1,000 copper coins.”
After listening to Qing Niao and Jeanne’s explanation, Fang Ping finally understood why no one accepted this mission.
“Then are the two of you still preparing to enter the Dark Forest?”
“Let me accumulate some energy first.” Fang Ping glanced at Qing Niao.
Qing Niao also shook her head. “I’m not going in either. I want to wait for news of Andre.”
“Then I’ll find someone else to team up with.”
“Yeah.”
When they returned to the Red Plum Fruit Restaurant, the team seemed to have booked the room here for a long time. However, one person was missing this time.
Qing Niao put his bag down and sat on the bed. He sighed. “I wonder how Andre is.”
“Trust Ivan, he’s a Level 5 Legendary expert. He’ll be fine.”
Fang Ping also sat on the bed. If he had known that it was so boring here, he would have stayed in the Forbidden Spell class and continued his class.
What was Ivan thinking?
…
“How’s it going, Clunell?”
Andre lay quietly on the wooden bed, surrounded by a simple wooden house.
It was just that Andre could no longer see his original appearance. His entire body was pitch-black, and his skin was tense and shiny.
His fingers were long and slender, and he had long nails. The large muscles on his body were gone, and he looked like a bag of bones.
The thing that changed the most was his face. His face was covered in short purple-black fur. His nose and ears had become bigger, and his teeth had become unusually sharp. His voice had also become sharp.
Moreover, Andre did not think that he was abnormal at all.
Ivan stood beside the wooden bed. Beside him was an old man with white hair and a long white beard.
He held a white staff in his right hand, and the palm of his left hand shone with white light.
Pressing the white light on Andre’s stomach, his skin slowly turned yellow and then quickly turned black again.
“This isn’t a fusion. It should be a negative state. It takes effect when he dies. Fortunately, it’s not a special accompaniment. Otherwise, he would have died.
“You said that he killed a strange Elf Archer. Perhaps he has a similar Death Curse characteristic.”
“Can it be recovered? Will it be contagious?”
The white-haired and white-bearded Clunell shook his head. “I can recover, but the purification effect is very small. The probability of my Cleansing characteristic is too low. It’s very difficult to treat him.”
“You’re the Light Mage Clunell. Can’t you do anything?”
