This NPC ran very fast. Even Quan Agility's Gu Fei found it difficult to catch up. He could only make sure that this guy did not leave his line of sight. As for the clumsy Little Rain, she was left far behind in no time.
The NPC did not run far. He circled around the village and finally rushed into a house.
Gu Fei's eyes never left his body. He saw everything clearly. Without hesitation, he strode up to the door and knocked on it. Gu Fei knew that this guy was also a werewolf, but he had already made up his mind to die. He wanted to see if half of the village's werewolves would reveal their true forms and surround him. If that really happened, he would accept it. If he did not form a guild, he would not be able to complete this chain of quests.
The door finally opened after a few bangs. However, it was not the guy that Gu Fei had been chasing. Standing in front of him was a strong man that was a head taller than Gu Fei. Gu Fei stuck out his tongue. Werewolves would become taller after transforming. This guy in front of him was already so strong. If he transformed, he would at least be as big as an elephant, right?
Gu Fei had seen this guy before. When the guy ran away, he ended up hiding in his house. Could it be that this guy was the leader of this werewolf group?
"I want to know about the gold mine." Gu Fei went straight to the point.
The other party was silent. He did not speak, nor did he express any intention to expel him.
"I already know. You are all werewolves." Gu Fei was ready to risk it all.
He did not expect that after he said this, not only did the other party not show any intention to kill him, but he also showed a nervous expression.
"Don't worry, I will not tell anyone." Gu Fei expressed his position to the werewolf. Thinking back, he could not just rely on his mouth to complete quests. Sometimes, he needed to show some tools. He could not treat these machines as real people just because this was a holographic game. Trying to communicate with them would be a waste of effort. With this thought in mind, Gu Fei took out Murphy's urn and held it in front of the other party.
"I found these ashes in the mine. Murphy's grave is empty. I think you guys dug him up and burned him to ashes, right? "Gu Fei said.
A sorrowful look appeared in his eyes again.
The NPC's emotional changes were clearly displayed on his face. It was obvious that he was doing it for the players to see. Gu Fei had to consider the problem from the perspective of their emotions.
Hearing that he knew they were werewolves, the NPC seemed nervous and uneasy.
When mentioning Murphy's death, the NPC seemed very sad.
As for Murphy, he would rather die than reveal his identity as a werewolf. The rest of the villagers were still kept in the dark.
Gu Fei finally understood: these werewolves were afraid that the villagers would know their identity. Murphy wanted to transform into a human with her last breath because she didn't want to cause panic among the villagers and bring trouble to her people. After all, Murphy was a member of the village. If people saw that he was a werewolf, everyone would start to suspect the real identity of the people around him. Under this kind of attention, any careless werewolves could be exposed.
Thinking about how he thought that they killed Murphy because they didn't split the loot evenly, Gu Fei felt very ashamed.
But where did this werewolf that killed Murphy come from?
What was more annoying was that the big guy in front of him didn't speak! Could it be that this guy was a purebred werewolf and hadn't learned the human language?
"You don't want the villagers to know your identity?" Gu Fei continued.
The big guy continued to look at him.
"Why not?" Gu Fei completely displayed Little Rain's spirit this time and asked unyieldingly.
"We don't want to kill, but we don't want to be killed." The big guy finally spoke.
Gu Fei let out a long breath and asked, "What do you mean?"
"If the villagers knew we were werewolves, they would definitely think of a way to destroy us," the big guy said. "But in reality, we've lived with them for many years and have never thought of harming them. We only go into the depths of the forest to hunt some wild beasts during the night of the full moon to commemorate our wild bloodline. "
"Then why do you want to live with humans?" Gu Fei asked.
"We were the ones who lived here first. We used to live in the forest, and then we learned from humans and walked out of the forest to build a village. Then, gradually, humans came to live with us. The village has been like this for many years. "The big guy said.
"Then what about the werewolf that killed Murphy?" Gu Fei said.
"He's not one of us!" The big guy said. "I don't know where he came from, but he has great power. I think he might be someone from the village because he seems to know us very well. But we can't catch his aura at all. "
"Why did he kill Murphy?" Gu Fei asked.
The big guy didn't speak again.
"Aiyaya! You guys run so fast! "Xiao Yu's voice came from behind. She had only arrived after a long time.
Gu Fei's heart moved, and he signaled for Xiao Yu to take out the sack of gold that they had dug out from the forest behind Murphy's house.
"I found a map in Murphy's house and dug this up." Gu Fei showed the tool again.
"What's with the gold mine?" Gu Fei asked again.
The big guy finally spoke. "One day, on the night of the full moon, we went into the forest to hunt. This strange werewolf suddenly appeared and demanded that we obey his leadership. Murphy challenged him, but he defeated him. From then on, he demanded that we take turns to help him dig for gold every night. "
"You have so many people, and you're afraid of him? Attack him together! "Gu Fei said.
"Attacking as a group is the way we deal with our prey. Werewolves can only fight one on one. Obeying the strongest is our tradition. "The big guy said.
"That's how Murphy died?" Gu Fei asked.
"No … … We all felt that this strange fellow came from a shady background, but no one could defeat him. Murphy said that he wanted to find out his human identity, so that he could use this condition to blackmail him. It was probably during this process that Murphy was discovered and killed. "The big guy said.
"Don't you want to take revenge for Murphy?" Gu Fei said.
"We don't know his human identity, and no one can defeat him." The big guy said.
Gu Fei thought for a moment, then suddenly asked, "If you werewolves are injured by silver, what will happen?"
"In that case, the wound will take many days to heal." The big guy said.
"Is one night enough?"
"Not enough."
"Is there any medicine or magic that we can use?" Gu Fei asked.
"No, we werewolves have strong self-healing abilities. As long as we aren't injured by silver, we can quickly recover." The big guy said.
Gu Fei already had a plan in mind. He nodded and said, "We'll help you deal with this fellow!"
"Relying on humans to deal with it is too despicable and shameless!" The big guy said.
He didn't expect werewolves to have such integrity. Gu Fei said helplessly, "Maybe he's also a human?"
"Human? We saw with our own eyes that he was a werewolf and had the aura of a werewolf. It was only because he hid his aura very well when he turned into a human that we couldn't find him. "The big guy said.
"Is he wearing something around his neck?" Gu Fei asked.
"I think so … …"
"That's him. I already injured him with a silver weapon yesterday, but I didn't find any injured villagers today. If he isn't human, how could he heal so quickly?" Gu Fei said. "Don't worry, leave it to me! Also, I won't tell anyone else about your identities. "
After saying goodbye to the big guy, Gu Fei and Xiao Yu continued on their way.
"What do you know?" Xiao Yu asked. When she came over, Gu Fei and the big guy were already halfway through their conversation.
Gu Fei simply repeated what he said. Xiao Yu had already forgotten about the first part and only asked about the last part: "A human's wound can be healed in one night?"
"Humans don't have this ability, but with magic and the healing of a priest, can't they heal instantly? Think about the NPC priests at the entrance of the Priest Academy. "Gu Fei reminded Xiao Yu. At the entrance of the Priest Academy in Cloud City, heavily injured players could receive treatment from the system's priests and their wounds would instantly heal. Since they could heal players, they could also heal NPCs. Werewolves, on the other hand, were dark type creatures, so they obviously couldn't receive holy healing from priests.
"Then how can a human turn into a werewolf?" Xiao Yu said.
"I'm not sure about that, but I already know who he is." Gu Fei said.
"Who is it?" Xiao Yu asked.
"It's up to whoever has the gold mine." Gu Fei smiled.
"Adrian!" Xiao Yu said.
"That's right!" Gu Fei nodded.
"Oh, then if you kill him, will I not be able to complete my quest?" Xiao Yu was worried.
"Of course not!" Gu Fei said, "After I complete my quest, even if Adrian dies, he'll respawn again. He'll still be the rich Adrian from Luminous Village. Who knows, maybe next time you'll have to find him for your gold."
"That's good!" Xiao Yu said.
"This time, it's all thanks to you." Gu Fei said.
"What?"
"If it wasn't for your quest, I wouldn't have known that Adrian was related to Jinkuang. How would I know that he's a werewolf?" Gu Fei laughed.
"I told you, I'm a quest expert!" Xiao Yu said.
"How amazing!" Gu Fei praised.
"Then is your chain of quests about to be completed?" Xiao Yu asked.
"I think it's almost done." The silhouette of Adrian's house could already be seen on the road ahead. Gu Fei took out Flame's Baptism, "The current problem is how to defeat this guy."
