Chapter 62: Chapter 62: The Power of the Fire Eagle

Translator: 549690339

“The Ancient God World” has many interesting features, such as the task system.

In this game’s context, a task is essentially a contract. A typical task usually involves an NPC issuing a task, which is essentially a contract. The player helps the NPC accomplish something and then receives a reward.

Even more interestingly, players can also issue tasks that can be picked up by NPC adventurers or other players. The most common scenario is when a player enters a small city after reaching level ten. In the city, there are the Adventurer’s Hall and Mercenary Guild, where most of the tasks are issued by players.

However, many players are not yet aware of these changes in the new game.

“Adventurer from afar, this used to be my hometown, and I want to retrieve something. Would you be willing to help?” Li Yao did not recall his mentor Eileen’s mount but stood in front of the Dragon Eagle instead.

The powerful Dragon Eagle exuded an extremely strong aura, which accentuated Li Yao’s exceptional aura in his black robes. Coupled with his deliberately hoarse voice, he appeared very much like a knowledgeable expert.

Mysterious yet powerful was the first impression this team gave.

“Then what exactly are we looking for?” Resounding Rose asked eagerly.

“I used to follow General Sylvanas into wars, and I once saw a necklace, but it’s been lost. Even though the general has become the queen of the Undead Clan, I, as a former subordinate, still want to do something for her. I want to help her find this necklace and deliver it to her hands personally. Would you be willing to help?”

“We would but what’s the reward?” Resounding Rose asked.

Li Yao pulled out the blue and green equipment he had obtained from the fallen members of the frivolous team and said, “There’s no experience reward, but if you can find the necklace within a day, I can reward you with a piece of blue equipment and twenty silver coins. If it takes more than a day, I cannot reward the blue equipment, but a piece of green equipment. The monetary reward remains unchanged.”

“We accept, we accept.” Resounding Rose nodded like a pecking chicken.

They originally came here to level up, as killing undead creatures would guarantee them a lot of copper coins and the chance to drop linen cloths. Receiving these tasks was indeed a fortunate coincidence.

Let alone the blue and green equipment, even twenty silver coins could be considered a huge fortune. The Floral Alliance was barely a known guild and in desperate need of funds. Twenty silver coins can buy two low-level blue equipment, or one top-quality blue equipment.

Li Yao nodded and drew up the task contract using the system, then sent it to the team. Resounding Rose immediately affirmed it.

“By the way, individual strength is limited, can I invite others to accept this task too?” Considering this task was purely down to luck, Resounding Rose, worrying about failing to complete it, thought about involving other guild members.

Li Yao hesitated for a moment, thinking that this idea could save him from seeking out small teams individually, but still replied seriously: “Yes, you can, but only the team that delivers the necklace to me is entitled to the reward.”

“No problem, no problem.” Resounding Rose contacted her other sisters immediately.

Soon afterwards, other female players from the Floral Alliance came to receive the task, and Li Yao handed out the missions without mistake.

In the end, a female mage named Flaming Red Lips, clad in a fiery red mage robe, walked upfront, inquiring about the task’s details. Even though her eyes were filled with doubt, and she was suspicious about the absence of an experience reward,

she couldn’t find any flaws. Li Yao has a deep understanding of the history of “The Ancient God World” and knows many secrets currently unknown to players. Therefore, he easily fabricates this little story. Her keen intuition is useless against Li Yao’s lies, especially when backed by the slightly impatient Dragon Eagle. They couldn’t sniff out any loopholes.

Flaming Red Lips is Floral Alliance’s head and a formidable character.

Her strength was tremendous, and she narrowly lost the Divine Enthronement battle by a handful of health points to a mage who later achieved the

Enthronement. Based on the senior players of the previous game, Floral Alliance transitioned from a recreational guild to a professional one, ranking among the top 20 in China, and even developed into a professional team that entered the World Cup’s top three. It was, undoubtedly, incredibly powerful.

Rich in personal strength, and armed with great wit and robust background, she was ranked well among the Beauty List.

Conning such a character gave Li Yao an odd sense of pleasure.

Of course, most importantly, he didn’t know how long he would have to kill creatures to find the necklace, whether it would take a few creatures or several days, but he couldn’t afford to waste so much time. Having these teams help would greatly increase his chances.

“I will appear here every night at half-past seven. Please be punctual.” After speaking, Li Yao jumped onto the Dragon Eagle, and under the gaze of a few teams, he dashed away.

The Tower of the Windwalker was once a city, but now it lays in ruins. It is occupied by various Undead Series monsters, and the monster’s level varies greatly depending on the area within the city.

The strongest players were currently around level fives and were hunting level five monsters.

Li Yao chose a region populated by level seven monsters, avoiding those areas plagued by spider demons who could summon exploding spiderlings and banshee ghosts immune to most physical attacks.

The monsters that spawned in this region were mindless walking corpses. The only thing that dissatisfied Li Yao was the lack of a dedicated elite area. It was mostly filled with common monsters, and elites were quite rare.

Another important reason why Li Yao chose this location was it was an offshoot of the Death Mark that ran through the entire Elf Kingdom. Undead rose endlessly from underground here.

The area’s respawn rate for monsters was very high. For ordinary players, leveling up here was no different from courting death, but of course, this didn’t include Li Yao.

Li Yao stored away his mount and then summoned the Mechanical Firehawk.

He took a look at the monster data.

Wandering Corpse Rank: Level 7 Common

Type: Undead Life: 700

Armor: 35

Skills: Dead Wrath, Death Claw

Li Yao smiled, unimpressed by these attributes, especially now that he had the Firehawk. He decided to test out just how powerful the Firehawk was.

“Kill.

At Li Yao’s command, the Firehawk hovering overhead screeched, emitting a faint metallic sound.

It swooped down like a bolt of red lightning.

Hawk preys on rabbit!

-389

Seeing this damage, Li Yao nodded satisfactorily. This truly suited its leader’s status.

The Firehawk’s claws hooked into the corpse, lifting it into the air before throwing it down abruptly.

The tumbling corpse slammed into another, rolling both of them into a third walking corpse.

The flame on the Firehawk dimmed temporarily, and then it suddenly exhaled a jet of fire. The orange flames engulfed the three corpses, and various damage numbers floated above their heads.

-123-124-130-112-123-125-127…

The breath attack lasted for five seconds, and the first walking corpse was already dead.

Then, bending its body in an eccentric way, the Firehawk swooped down again, its sharp claws tearing the remaining two injured corpses to shreds.

“I really hit the jackpot.” Li Yao, who was about to summon Arrow Tower, paused mid-action…

PS: I’ve created a Penguin Group, complete with cute girls, fresh meats, and big guys. Everyone can join in and have fun, the group number is 427590697.

Although I have set a limit to the word count, I still want to give back to my supportive friends. The recommendation tickets have exceeded 4,000, so I added another chapter today. The temporary rule is to add one update for every extra 1,000 recommendation tickets. Starting from today, every accumulated reward that reaches ten thousand Qidian coins warrants an additional update. It’s my way of giving back to those who give recommendations and rewards, thank you all for your support..
