145 Arriving at the Mountain Guard Village (1/2)
A few moments later…
Several lights came on and the players returned to the same spot as before.
When they looked around, everyone saw the bodies of the soldiers on the floor, everyone was dead, even the commander. Looking at this scene, the players understood that they had failed the quest.
”Leader, did we fail?” One of the players asked.
”Yes, we failed”
”How is this possible? I don't believe the players who escorted the NPC could have survived until the end. ”One of the players spoke indignantly.
”Looks like the other side had ways to get through here safely and complete the quest… Let's go back, there's nothing else to do here.” The leader looked at his quest window, and saw that the quest to capture Lina had already missed, it showed it was a failure.
”Leader, aren't we even going to the end of this forest?”
”It's not worth the effort, we have come so far, but we have failed in the end…” The leader only sighed at that.
”Leader…”
”Let's go back, we have to report this to the general…” The leader didn't want to finish talking, he pulled out a return scroll and activated it. A light covered his body before disappearing.
The other players also did the same, they were already very discouraged about it. After so much effort, the quest still failed.
…
Going back two days ago…
After Liu Yang and his group left the mountain maze and walked toward the forest, they found the same situation as the NPCs and the players. But the result was different.
The interior of the forest was dimly lit and quiet, the weather was not heavy and strange, the place looked like a dead and lifeless forest.
Little White's footsteps and the two horses could be heard.
”Young master, if we travel this way, we will reach Mountain Guard Village in five days,” Nina said with a confident tone.
”Nina, have you come here before?” Liu Yang asked curiously. Nina had said she never left Stone Village, so she couldn't know the way to the Mountain Guard Village or even the secret mountain pass or the maze. Liu Yang figured it could be the necklace Nina received.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
”Young master, after I received this necklace and gained new powers. I also gained a lot of new information about this place and many other things, but as I am still very weak, I cannot receive the other information that is engraved on the necklace. ”Nina said, she was anxious to receive the rest of the inheritance left by her ancestor.
”Nina, do you know whose heritage this is?” Liu Yang already had a vague idea about it, but he preferred to ask.
”No, I have access to this information yet, I can only find out about it when I get stronger”
”Alright, let's continue our trip to the village”
”Yes. Young Master, when we move a little further, I ask Young Master and little Sophie to be behind me. No matter what happens, none of you can attack or do anything suspicious, all right? ”Nina spoke in a serious tone.
”Yes,” they both confirmed.
…
The trio reached the place where the group of players and NPCs had died before when they arrived, sharp eyes appeared, and later on, the creatures emerged from the forest. The heavy pressure appeared.
”Nina is that ??” Liu Yang was startled when he saw this scene, each of these creatures could easily defeat him, let alone several dozen of them.
”Young master, little Sophie, you just need to get behind me and follow me. Try not to do anything else, ”Nina said in a serious tone.
