After Jiang Fei joined the battle, Billy Boy and the others cleared the small monsters at a much faster rate. In less than five minutes, thousands of small monsters were wiped out.
"What do we do next?" Jiang Fei asked curiously. They had already cleared all the enemies according to the requirements of the Quest. However, the Quest had not been updated.
"I don't know. Could there be a fish that slipped through the net?" Billy Boy guessed. At the same time, he ordered the Bandits and Rangers to spread out and look for any enemies that might have slipped through.
After another five minutes or so, although Jiang Fei and the others did not make any progress, the Specter Agent walked in from outside the excavation site.
"Ah! You have already occupied this place! But why did the excavator stop working? " The Specter Agent looked at the occupied excavation site and nodded. However, he also asked a question.
"Excavator?" Jiang Fei was stunned. He only just noticed that the excavator that had been working all along had stopped working.
"What happened? Why did you guys kill him? " At that time, the Specter Agent also discovered the reason why the excavator had stopped working. The Great Engineer, Valando, who was operating the excavator, had been killed by Jiang Fei.
According to the original design of the Quest, Valando would surrender when his Health Points dropped to 20%. When that happened, his status would become Friendly and players would no longer be able to attack him.
However, no one had expected Jiang Fei to kill the Master Engineer with one shot of the Dragon's Bane. Moreover, as the Quest NPC, Valando would naturally not drop any items or give any Experience points.
"D * mn! Why didn't you say so earlier? " Jiang Fei was also shocked. Just now, he had used the Dragon's Bane to kill the boss. He did not expect to trigger this bug.
"What should we do next?" Billy Boy was not paying attention. If it was a normal Quest, he could just give up. However, this was a Storyline Quest.
Storyline Quests were related to the direction of the game's storyline. Therefore, it was impossible to give up. However, now that the Great Engineer was dead, the Quest obviously could not continue.
"Don't panic. Let me think!" Jiang Fei waved his hand and lowered his head to think.
"Oh right! Akatziris, does anyone in the Nephilim race know how to use this excavator? " Jiang Fei suddenly turned around and asked Akatziris. Since there were people in the Light Faction who could operate this thing, there was no reason that the Nephilim race could not!
"There is, but we don't even know that this place leads to the outside world. Are we supposed to go from the outer layer of the Underworld to the inner layer of the Underworld, and then take a detour to the Abyss?" Akatziris frowned.
"Taking such a long detour would take at least a few days. We don't have that much time to waste!" Jiang Fei shook his head. Although they had killed the players from the Light Faction, there was no guarantee that the players from the Light Faction would return. When that happened, there would be more than thirty to forty players.
If there were thousands of players from the Light Faction, Jiang Fei would not be afraid of fighting them. However, if they could not defeat him, they could still ruin his Quest. Although Jiang Fei and the others did not know what the Quest's objective was, they were sure that it had something to do with the item buried underground. Otherwise, they would not have to use this excavator to dig.
If the players from the Light Faction insisted on destroying the excavator, Jiang Fei would not be able to kill them even with tens of thousands of players. However, there was a limit to his strength. If the players from the Light Faction decided to destroy the excavator instead of killing him, Jiang Fei would not be able to kill all of them instantly.
"Although it's a little troublesome, we still have to call for help!" Jiang Fei sighed, then opened the Abyssal Gate.
After the Abyssal Gate was opened, Jiang Fei obtained a portal that lasted for five minutes. It allowed him to communicate with the tenth floor of the Abyss. However, five minutes was not enough for Jiang Fei to reach the Nephilim King's Palace. Moreover, once the time was up, the Abyssal Gate would close. If Jiang Fei was still in the Abyss, he would not be able to return to the excavation site.
Although the Abyssal Gate was two-way, it could only communicate with Jiang Fei's location and the tenth floor of the Abyss. It could not be opened anywhere in the tenth floor of the Abyss.
After entering the Abyssal Gate, Jiang Fei did not dare to go too deep. He only found a random patrolling soldier and asked him to send a message to the Nephilim King. Jiang Fei said that he needed an Advanced Engineer who could operate large machinery.
After everything was settled, Jiang Fei retreated from the Abyssal Gate. He did not want to be trapped in the Abyss after the Abyssal Gate closed. What happened next would depend on whether Jiang Fei, the Nephilim's son-in-law, was powerful enough.
After about an hour, Jiang Fei opened the Abyssal Gate again. This time, as soon as he entered the tenth floor of the Abyss, he found two people waiting for him.
"Hehe, Ah Fei, you sure are a big shot. Father actually managed to invite Master Morland here!" Elder Prince Otis smiled as he greeted Jiang Fei.
"Big brother! Master Morland! " Akatziris greeted Otis and the Elder Prince. It seemed that she was very familiar with Master Morland.
"You two, we don't have much time. This portal will not last for long. Let's talk over there!" Jiang Fei said.
"Alright, Master Morland can go with you. I have other things to do, so I won't be going with you!" Otis waved his hand.
"Alright then! Master, please come with me! " Jiang Fei gestured for the Master Engineer to follow him. Then, he took the lead through the portal and returned to the excavation site.
"ZBT-3000 Excavator? That's so high-end! " As soon as Morland entered the excavation site, his eyes were attracted by the huge excavator. As for Jiang Fei who invited him, he was completely forgotten.
"Master, can you control this machine?" Jiang Fei asked.
"Of course. In the entire Nephilim race, no one except me can control this thing!" Morland said proudly when his profession was mentioned.
"Then, hurry up and do it!" Jiang Fei urged.
"Alright! It's been a long time since I've played with something like this! "Morland jumped onto the excavator's control platform.
While Morland was restarting the excavator, Jiang Fei took a look at Morland's attributes. Just like the Light Faction Engineer that Jiang Fei had killed, Morland was also a Low-Tier Lord. Although he had quite a lot of Health Points, his combat power was very low. He was a typical NPC that needed to be protected.
"Damn! I'm not going to protect him next, am I? "After seeing Morland's attributes, Jiang Fei had a guess.
"Ding! Quest updated: Protect Morland from any harm for the next four hours until he unearths the Gnome's treasure! "
Sure enough, the next second, the system prompt proved Jiang Fei's guess.
