"Hiss, hiss …"
Within the ball of light, a miniature version of the illusory Black Serpent was slithering about, madly crashing into the surroundings.
But in the end, he could only hover and spin in the air.
[Black Serpent Spirit]
[Level: Extraordinary Rank-One]
Grade: Perfect (offering)
[Description: The spirit of a brutal Extraordinary Black Serpent. Because it has recently devoured some humans, sacrificing it should be able to resonate with the spirit of the human Hero Souls!]
"As expected, an offering has appeared!"
For the first time, Ji Ye showed real excitement on his face.
That was because offerings were actually the same as meritorious service. They were new hot terms that had appeared on the forum these days.
Once the players completed the settlement mission, there would definitely be an item with "offering" in the Spoils of War.
Judging from its name, it was clear that it was used for sacrificial rituals. As for the sacrificial process, it had to be carried out in the Stronghold of a race or civilization.
"Moreover, it's actually a perfect quality offering. In theory, it should be able to maximize the effect of the sacrificial ritual."
"If I remember correctly, the Chinese who completed the settlement quest first only received a Superior offering."
"It seems like the level of the offering is affected by the completion of the mission, and has nothing to do with the completion of the settlement mission!"
Ji Ye said.
The reason he was thinking about it.
This was because, on the domestic forums, some experts believed that. The criteria for a settlement mission might be similar to the settings in some online games. The first batch of people to complete the mission would receive additional or even hidden rewards.
Therefore, he called on all the players in the country to try their best and finish the quota as soon as possible!
However, Ji Ye did not agree with that at all.
Since the mission was given a ten-day time limit, theoretically speaking, as long as the mission was completed within the time limit, it would be considered a success.
However, completing it early was not necessarily praiseworthy, because it was most likely achieved through reckless risks and not through careful planning and implementation!
Now that he had obtained a Perfect-grade offering, it proved that the latter was correct.
However, the attributes of this offering seemed to reveal a certain piece of information.
"You've eaten some humans recently?"
Ji Ye couldn't help but frown as he stared at the Black Serpent in the ball of light, which was still full of violence and ferocity even though it was shrunken and illusory.
Recently, he had spent a lot of time monitoring the Black Serpent, but he didn't find any humans nearby. In that case, the only explanation was …
Ji Ye turned around and looked at the foggy area about fifty meters away.
"Crash!"
At this moment, there was a sudden gust of wind and clouds in the mountains. The layer of fog that had been shrouding the southern side of the mountain was actually blown away by this gust of wind.
"The fog has dispersed!"
Amidst the dispersing fog, a person's shout could be heard.
When the fog completely disappeared, it revealed a group of men in shabby ancient-style clothes. They were holding simple swords, spears, bows and arrows, and burning torches in their hands.
"I see it. The demonic snake is there."
"Everyone, charge forward and kill the demon snake! Avenge Er Niu and the others!"
These people first looked at the mist that had suddenly dissipated with some apprehension and surprise.
Then, when they noticed the Black Snake on the rocky ground, they gritted their teeth and roared as they rushed over!
"No, the demonic snake … seems to be dead!"
Due to the distance and the fact that the sun had completely set, the sky was already dark.
Therefore, when these people looked from afar, they didn't notice anything strange about the Black Serpent. When they got closer, they realized that the Black Serpent was already dead.
Moreover, there were a few bronze bolts as thick as an infant's arm stuck in his body. One of the silver bolts had even been burnt to a crisp. His head was broken, and even all the bones in his body seemed to have been taken away. His death could be said to be incomparably miserable!
"It's actually dead … Who killed it?"
"Did Er Niu and the others break through the fog before us? No, these aren't arrows from our fort! "
"Could it be …"
Then, after a moment of chaos, two people turned around and ran back in shock.
"Elder Hu, the demonic snake has been killed …"
He reported to an old man who had just climbed up the mountain. He was a little thin and wore a green robe that didn't quite fit him. He was leaning against a rock and panting because he was exhausted.
"What?!"
After hearing this, the old man was obviously shocked.
He didn't have time to rest and ran to the Black Serpent while panting. After seeing the state of the Black Serpent's death, his face was slightly pale.
"It's really been killed … Who did it? Could it be … "
"It's me!"
A voice rang out, and Ji Ye stood up from behind a rock at the back of the group.
He had already taken off the Mantis Invisibility Cloak on his upper body, although his attire still looked a little strange compared to these people.
"Who!"
Ji Ye's sudden appearance obviously shocked these people. The weapons in their hands involuntarily turned in his direction.
When they saw clearly that his face was human, they breathed a sigh of relief.
"He said he killed the demonic snake!"
"He's not from our fort."
"Such a strange attire … Wait a minute, could this be the 'Chosen One' mentioned in the Heavenly Mandate?"
However, after understanding the meaning of his words, there was a commotion after a moment of shock. They all looked at Ji Ye with a strange expression on their faces and discussed animatedly.
"Silence …"
The old man in the green robe obviously had a certain level of authority among the group of people in short clothes.
After he spoke, the voices of discussion suddenly became much quieter. However, they still stared at Ji Ye with curiosity and awe!
"Warrior, did you really kill this demonic snake?"
After stopping the rest of the people, the old man in the green robe asked Ji Ye with a look of shock and apprehension.
"Of course …"
Ji Ye raised his hand and revealed the Heavy Bulldozer Crossbow that was the same color as the crossbow bolts on the Black Serpent's body!
"Ah, it's really him!"
"So, he's the 'Chosen One'. He actually killed the demonic snake alone."
"So, the Chosen One looks the same as us. He doesn't have three heads and six arms …"
Then, there was another commotion among the men in the simple short shirt opposite him, and they all put down the weapons in their hands.
"Sure enough … As long as we don't actively provoke them, there won't be any conflict?"
Ji Ye said in a barely audible voice.
The reason why he showed up and replied without denying or concealing anything was because he already knew the identity of these people.
Because he already knew who those people were. They were the "natives" of the only human settlement on the mountain.
Or rather, the "NPCs" that the Land of Inheritance had evolved based on human civilization and belonged to the Earthlings!
The Confederate government had already announced the latest important information on a pinned post: these natives should already know that the "Chosen One" was coming. Therefore, as long as players found the settlement and didn't have any conflict with them, they could successfully join it. In fact, they might even be treated differently because of their special identities.
However, it was only preferential treatment. If one wanted to have power or more in the settlement, they would have to fight for it and manage it themselves.
This was because although these people were evolved based on the various races and civilizations on the Land of Inheritance, they were almost no different from players. They belonged to the real life of this world.
Looking at the situation, it was obvious that this Black Serpent must have eaten the people in the settlement, so it was sought up the mountain for revenge.
Now that Ji Ye had killed the Black Serpent, he could definitely gain the favor of these "natives" to a large extent. It would be a good start after entering the settlement!
As for why he hid behind the rock in the beginning …
It was because Ji Ye suddenly remembered that he was wearing the Mantis Invisibility Cloak that covered even his face. In the eyes of these ancient people, he might very well be seen as a monster.
If that happened, he wouldn't be treated as a benefactor and would be shot to death by an arrow. That would be a joke.
However, what happened next was completely out of Ji Ye's expectations.
"I'm Hu Feng. Greetings, Master!"
After hearing Ji Ye's reply and clearly seeing the Heavy Bulldozer Crossbow in Ji Ye's hand, which corresponded to the bolt on the Black Serpent's body.
