Chapter 79: Sword Saint Wang Yuanyuan!
After leaving the City Lord's Mansion, Li Xiang came to the equipment store and found the NPC store manager, Wang Dagui.
Seeing Li Xiang arrive, he quickly came out to greet him.
"Esteemed guest, the equipment might not be delivered until evening. Please rest assured, it will definitely be delivered to you before tonight."
Li Xiang had come just to urge him along.
Now that he had the specific time, he nodded and prepared to leave.
Wang Dagui, however, called out to Li Xiang.
"Esteemed guest, I see your strength is also quite extraordinary, and You are a VIP3 major customer of my store, as well as an adventurer. A customer has entrusted a commission to me here, I wonder if You are interested?"
Li Xiang was stunned.
Is this a task delivered right to my doorstep?
【Ding! Task 'Merchant's Worry' triggered. Do You accept?】
After seeing the system prompt, Li Xiang directly clicked Confirm.
Afterward, he checked the task description.
【Merchant's Worry】
Requirement: Protect the goods
Reward: Unknown
【Description: The goods are not ordinary goods, so professional guards cannot be hired.】
The task description was very vague.
Because the goods are not ordinary, professional Guard cannot be hired...
It was as if nothing had been said.
Seeing that Li Xiang had accepted the task, Wang Dagui said, "Esteemed guest, You can depart now.
They are already at the Eastern City Gate. If You successfully escort the goods, that person will give You an extraordinary reward."
Wang Dagui's tone was very respectful. The 'person' he mentioned was certainly not an ordinary NPC.
Li Xiang nodded directly and walked outside.
Wang Dagui added, "Esteemed guest, when You return safely tonight, your equipment will be ready for You."
Li Xiang replied without looking back, "Okay."
At this moment, a coordinate appeared on the task, which was precisely the location of the Eastern City Gate.
Arriving at the Eastern City Gate, Li Xiang saw three carriages, all marked with 'Task Carriage', and were not allowed inside.
There was a coachman on each carriage. The coachman on the leading carriage was an old man. Li Xiang checked his attributes, and they were all question marks.
"Damn... What level of task is this? Even question mark NPCs have appeared."
At this moment, Li Xiang realized the task might not be so easy.
The old man NPC looked at Li Xiang and said, "You're here. Come ride in this carriage with me."
"Alright."
Li Xiang sat together with the old man. The old man waved the reins, "Go!"
The carriage immediately set off. The coachmen of the two carriages behind were ordinary Level 20 coachmen, and they immediately followed.
The three carriages quickly left the city, first passing through the level 10-15 Monster area, and then through the L烈马平原 Monster area.
The carriage was very fast, and it charged headfirst into Monsters encountered along the way.
The Level 33 Fire Tail Horse Monster couldn't dodge in time and was hit by the carriage, its health bar instantly emptied.
Li Xiang was completely bewildered.
What the hell, is this still a carriage?!
Li Xiang looked at the horse pulling the carriage.
He found that this horse was also not simple.
Its eyes were deep red, its fur was also red, its limbs were powerful and agile, and every time its hooves landed, they would leave a small pit in the ground.
Check attributes.
Likewise, they were all question marks.
Li Xiang: ...
The old man NPC sitting beside him chuckled and said, "Young man, are You scared?"
Li Xiang shook his head, "I'm not scared."
It's just a game. At worst, I'll die and return to the city, losing some experience points. What's there to be afraid of?
Approval showed in the old man NPC's eyes. "Well done! This task is very perilous. Further ahead, You will encounter powerful enemies. At that time, no matter what, You must protect the two carriages behind, understood?"
Li Xiang nodded.
The old man didn't speak anymore, but his gaze lingered on the storm divine sword in Li Xiang's hand for several moments. The emotion in his eyes changed from uncertainty to shock, and then back to calmness.
The carriage continued to move forward.
The L烈马平原 Monster area was bypassed.
Li Xiang had not seen the Monster areas further ahead either.
After leaving the L烈马平原, several black dots appeared.
Seeing these black dots, the old man sitting beside Li Xiang suddenly drew a sharp sword from his waist, "Go!"
The sharp sword flew out under Li Xiang's astonished gaze, and then... all the black dots fell down.
When they got closer, Li Xiang discovered that all these black dots were humanoid Monsters. Since they were already dead, he couldn't see their attributes.
The old man retrieved the sharp sword and continued to drive the carriage.
A moment later, black dots appeared again. This time there were many black dots, more than ten in total.
Li Xiang also had time to check their attributes, but not surprisingly, the attributes of these black dots were all question marks in Li Xiang's eyes!!!
This indicated that the attributes and levels of these Monsters were far, far higher than Li Xiang's!!!
The old man looked at Li Xiang and said, "I'll teach You horsemanship. You drive the carriage, and I'll deal with them."
【Ding! Sword Saint Wang Yuanyuan is teaching You 'Advanced Horsemanship'. Do You want to learn?】
Seeing this prompt, Li Xiang was completely dumbfounded.
Holy crap!!!
Even a Sword Saint has appeared?!
How can I not learn this!!!
Wouldn't I be an idiot if I didn't learn it?!
Learn!!
【Ding! Congratulations! You have learned 'Advanced Horsemanship'】
The old man, Wang Yuanyuan, immediately released the reins and directly flew towards the dozen or so black dots.
Li Xiang immediately switched to Wang Yuanyuan's position.
There was still a big difference from actually driving a carriage.
Several arrows appeared in Li Xiang's field of vision. He only needed to follow the instructions to perfectly control the carriage.
Controlling the carriage, he drove in the predetermined direction.
Wang Yuanyuan was locked in combat with the dozen or so black dots. Soon, Li Xiang drove the carriage to his side.
He also killed all the black dots and immediately got onto the carriage.
However, in his eyes, there was worry, as if there were even greater difficulties ahead.
"Kid, when the Black and White Shades appear ahead later, we'll take one each. If You defeat your opponent, I'll teach You my ultimate skill."
【Ding! Task 'Sword Saint's Request' triggered. Do You accept?】
Seeing the new task triggered, Li Xiang immediately clicked Accept.
【Sword Saint's Request】
Requirement: Kill one of the Black and White Shades
Reward: Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin
【Description: Sword Saint Wang Yuanyuan is severely injured and is not a match for the Black and White Shades. You need to deal with one of them.】
Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin?! A very traditional name. Li Xiang could already imagine the scene of this ultimate skill being unleashed!!!
Severely injured?!
Li Xiang's gaze turned to Wang Yuanyuan.
Those question mark level Monsters just now, Wang Yuanyuan killed them one by one with a single sword, showing no signs of fatigue. And this was still in a severely injured state?!!!
In his peak state, wouldn't he be able to kill them all with just a glance?
Heaven-defying!!!
The carriage continued to move forward.
Before long, Li Xiang sensed that the atmosphere was a bit off. It was unusually quiet, as if the environmental sounds had been muted, not a single sound could be heard.
The old man NPC Sword Saint Wang Yuanyuan spoke up, "Kid, here they come!"
As his voice fell.
Ahead, two figures, one white and one black, appeared.
Check attributes!!!
【LV???. Black Fiend】
Quality: World Boss
