Chapter 705 The Result of Defeat
The melee duel between Ji Xiaoyan and the others and the NPCs in Xiaotaoyuan lasted for nearly twenty minutes. The two parties involved were all the NPCs in Xiaotaoyuan, Ji Xiaoyan and Old Man Qingmi. , Qi Mo and Frisman. The few players like Thunder Kitten and Meow Black who cannot attack NPCs, plus Brick, the living NPC, can only be reduced to cheerleaders, standing aside and watching the show.
As for the final result after the exchange of fire between the two sides, it was natural that Ji Xiaoyan's side was defeated.
Just like what the female NPC from Xiao Taoyuan said, although they couldn't defeat Old Man Qingya, they wouldn't have intercepted Ji Xiaoyan and the others so rashly if they weren't fully prepared. Therefore, after old man Qingya ran into the crowd of NPCs in Xiaotaoyuan and beat away a dozen of them in excitement, he was hit and fell to the ground. As for what kind of trick he got, is there any need to say? In addition to medication these days, the only option is to use medication...
So, Ji Xiaoyan and the others, who were the losers in the end, had no choice but to accept the treatment of the NPCs in Xiaotaoyuan.
It is worth mentioning that the NPCs in Xiaotaoyuan are still very kind.
Ji Xiaoyan originally thought that if he lost the battle, he would either be locked up by the NPCs in Xiao Taoyuan and not let go, or he would be killed, or he would be turned into a human flesh bun or something like that... As a result , of course it was very unexpected. The request of the NPCs in Xiao Taoyuan was very simple, that is, let them do hard labor.
Yes, it’s just hard work!
According to the female NPC who led Ji Xiaoyan and the others into the village, because their so-called little paradise is hidden in a desert, they cannot easily enter if they do not find the right direction to enter. Come in. Therefore, this directly resulted in the fact that there were only a few outsiders who could enter this small Taoyuan village over the years. Of course, the fact that there are only a few people who can enter means that besides Ji Xiaoyan and her team, there are indeed other people who have entered here...
The female NPC led them somewhat dejectedly. Just a few minutes later, Ji Xiaoyan and the others saw what the female NPC told them. Their so-called "seniors" had entered Xiao Taoyuan a long time before them.
"Hey, Xiao Tie, look, I've brought you a new companion!" The female NPC shouted to a man with a familiar look on her face, then she staggered away, exposing Ji Xiaoyan and the others, and shouted : "They all just came today. For the sake of your companions, you have to teach them a lesson and ask them to hurry up." Let's get started..."
"Hey, okay, Sister Taolu!" The man raised his head from the pile of grass, smiled brightly, and then glanced at Ji Xiaoyan and the others. , said cheerfully: "Hey, you are so lucky, you can crash into such a paradise, come here quickly, Come here quickly, we are short of manpower here..."
"Go!" The female NPC known as Sister Taolu smiled at Ji Xiaoyan and the others, and then said: "We are young People in Taoyuan always keep their word. As long as you complete the tasks assigned by us, we will let you leave immediately. Yes, the teleportation array is also free for you to use. As for the expert who is with you...it will take a long time for the effect of the medicine to be consumed, so we will take good care of him, so you don't have to worry... ...." Of course, Taolu would never admit it. They deliberately prevented old man Qingya from regaining his fighting power! You know, he can slap several people away with one slap. If old man Qingya recovers, will their little Taoyuan Village still be peaceful? It would be strange not to be turned upside down!
Ji Xiaoyan and Miao Xiaohei looked at each other feebly, nodded to Taolu, and then walked in the direction of that person. How can people not bow their heads under the eaves? Old man Qingya was probably drugged or something like that. After being put down to the ground, he never moved again and was directly carried away by the NPCs in Xiaotaoyuan. Even though they wanted to find him, they didn't know where he was hidden.
With a faint sigh, Ji Xiaoyan and the others took stock of their surroundings.
The place where they were brought here was a hinterland with a sea of pink trees and a small stream. There were many small animals and various flowers and plants hidden in the sea of trees. From time to time, you would look at the bright blue mist in the forest. Fading and appearing, this scene was similar to the scenery outside the village that Ji Xiaoyan and the others had seen before. The man who had just spoken to Tao Lu was now standing by the stream. Next to him was a pile of grass as tall as a person, and at his feet was a large piece of land with the grass cut off.
"Hey, what's your name? My name is Jingang Iron Clothes!" As soon as Ji Xiaoyan and the others approached, the man smiled cheerfully and introduced loudly: "There are others over there. These people all came in by mistake before. They are working now. I will introduce you to them later!” , and was immediately surprised. He thought the man in front of him was an NPC from Xiao Taoyuan! Who makes his equipment look nothing like something players can wear? Could it be that it is a new type of suit? Thunder Kitten looked at the clothes of the Diamond Iron Shirt carefully while muttering to himself.
"Haha, if you are not a player, how could you be sent here to work?" As soon as King Kong Iron Clothes heard the words of Thunder Kitten, he immediately started chatting and continued: "You also accept You were sent here after completing the mission, right? It’s really good to do the mission here! It’s not hard work, but the rewards are great!”
“We have no rewards!” Miao Xiaohei said sadly. One sentence. The female NPC named Taolu said that they were the defeated party and could only be used as prisoners of war, so they would not be rewarded for completing tasks. This made Meow Black Girl instantly feel that she had returned to the time when she could do tasks but not get rewards...
"Uh, no way! The NPCs here in Xiaotaoyuan are all very good. They will give rewards to those who do things. Only those who give more will be given, and there is no one who will not give it! Could it be that you have offended them? No way, here NPCs generally don’t hold grudges..." Jingang Iron Clothes frowned and muttered to himself.
“That’s it anyway!” Thunder Kitten sighed, and then said: “It is said that our mission is to clean up the area within five miles of Xiaotaoyuan Village! By the way, King Kong, Do you know what we need to clean up? The NPC refused to say a word..."
"Five miles in radius!?" Jingang Ironcloth shirt was stunned when he heard Thunder Kitten's words, and asked in surprise: "You don't know how? Did you hear that wrong?"
"What's the problem? I remember it was a radius of five miles!" Thunder Kitten looked at Ji Xiaoyan and Miao Xiaohei, and saw that they both nodded affirmatively, and then continued: "I remember correctly." "It's a radius of five miles! "Jingang Iron Clothes' expression instantly became very strange and he muttered a few words, Then he looked at Ji Xiaoyan and the others strangely and asked, "What did you do to offend the people in the village? The places we usually need to clean up are only within a mile of the village... …”
"What do you mean?" Ji Xiaoyan couldn't help but frown and asked. From what this Diamond Iron Shirt meant, their mission was not as simple as imagined?
“The so-called cleanup task in the village of Xiaotaoyuan, to put it bluntly, is to occasionally clean up the overgrown weeds on the grass, just like what I am doing now!” Jingang Iron Clothes looked at it with some sympathy. Ji Xiaoyan and the others thought for a while before continuing: "There are also the unsightly floating objects that appear on the water, the boats that have been cleaned up on the river, and the things that hang from the branches in the woods from time to time. Debris, such as bird feathers, and some garbage on the ground. Oh, by the way, dead branches and leaves, etc., these are all within the scope of cleaning... In fact, to put it bluntly. There are only these fragmentary things that we need to do in the whole Xiaotaoyuan, but these things are not so easy to accomplish. Do you understand what I mean?"
Ji Xiaoyan nodded silently.
If the leaves are picked up on the first day, they will still appear on the second day. Even if the grass is cut, it will still grow again. Therefore, the so-called cleanup mission of Xiao Taoyuan is, to put it bluntly, a never-ending mission. They were tricked by the NPCs!
"Besides, you said it was within a radius of five miles. Five miles! It surrounds the five miles in the village. Do you know how big an area that is?" Jingang Iron Clothes looked at it with some sympathy. Xiang Ji Xiaoyan and the others couldn't help but sigh: "I'm afraid that if you start cleaning up from here, after going around the village, this place needs to be cleaned up again. This will be a task that will never be completed... …”
"So, we have been deceived?" Thunder Kitten's eyes widened instantly, and he murmured as he looked at the diamond iron shirt.
“I’m afraid that’s the case!” Jingang Iron Shirt sighed, “I originally thought that you were like us, doing something every day in exchange for some rewards, but in the end you said that you only have tasks but no rewards. Isn’t that in vain? Moreover, we don’t need to do it every day. Clean up the area within a mile and do as much as you want. After returning to the village, the NPC in the village will give us scores and give us different rewards based on the scores!”
"What should we do now?" Upon hearing this, Thunder Kitten suddenly became depressed. Are they just stuck here cleaning? Isn't it?
"By the way, King Kong, what do you mean when you just said, 'Players will not be sent here'?" Ji Xiaoyan suddenly thought of this and looked at King Kong's iron shirt in confusion and asked One sentence.
"Just call me Xiaotie, don't call me King Kong, it's awkward!" King Kong Tiebushan smiled honestly when he heard Ji Xiaoyan's words, and then said: "Listen to the NPC in the village It seems that people in their village cannot be exposed outside the village for a long time. I heard that it seems to be because of the fog. If they stay for a long time, It will be like being poisoned! As for us foreign players, you will not have any impact if you stay in this fog, so cleaning up the things outside the village will naturally become our business. And if the fog outside the village is not cleaned up properly. There will be more and more, and in the end it will affect the NPCs living in the village..."
Jingang Iron Clothes looked at Ji Xiaoyan and the others who were looking pensive, smiled and then continued: "However, this fog will not get thicker in a day or two! I really feel that the NPCs in the village are so impatient. In order for us to clean up the village, apart from the fear of increasing fog, the main reason is that they all want to come out and have a look..."
"They want to come out?" Ji Xiaoyan walked towards the village in confusion. looked in the direction.
“Yes!” Jingang Iron Clothes nodded and said softly, looking in the direction of the village with a sad face: “The NPCs here are actually very pitiful. It’s okay to live in such a desert. It’s not easy. I found a paradise where I could live a good life, but ended up being trapped in the village. I couldn't leave the village for more than ten minutes a day... I still had to drink a lot of alcohol after I returned. Only medicine can remove the harm caused by the fog to them... They actually want to come out and have a look..." As Jingang Iron Clothes said, he pointed at the surrounding scenery and said to Ji Xiaoyan and the others: "Look at it. , How beautiful are these scenery? But they can't come out to enjoy it..."
After listening to Jingang Iron Clothes' words, Meow Xiaohei exhaled and looked a little sad. Speaking of which, the NPCs in Xiao Taoyuan are indeed miserable. They are locked up in the village like they are in prison every day!
"So, what you are saying is that the NPC who brought us out just now has been poisoned?" Ji Xiaoyan thought for a while, looked at the diamond iron cloth shirt and asked.
"Is this such a small distance possible?" Jingang Iron Clothes asked, smiling at Ji Xiaoyan: "We have just cleaned this place, and the fog is far away. Since Sister Taolu can bring you here, It must be because it’s safe here!”
"But when we entered the village, she was the one who brought us in. We were all in a thick fog at that time. Why didn't I see that she was prone to poisoning?" Ji Xiaoyan thought something was wrong, He looked at the diamond iron cloth shirt and asked. If those NPCs could only stay in the fog for ten minutes before they were poisoned, then the female NPC named Taolu took them for a long time in the fog. Why didn't they react when they saw her?
"Dense fog? Is it the white fog on the road into the village?" Upon hearing this, Jingang Ironcloth Shirt looked at Ji Xiaoyan and asked.
"Well, that should be it!" Ji Xiaoyan nodded. That road does lead into the village!
"The fog there is not poisonous. It seems to be a place intentionally set aside by the system so that the NPCs in the village can bring lost players in." Jingang Iron Clothes smiled at Ji Xiaoyan , and then said: "If there is no NPC leadership, it is estimated that no player will ever be able to enter the village. The defense measures around the village are not vegetarian..."
