"Little, little black..." Vivian said as she habitually went to pick up the little wolf cub.
The first step to pass the level of cuteness is to eliminate the sense of distance between each other, which means physical.
But this time, the little wolf cub seemed to have expected it. He twisted his butt and avoided the little girl's hand. Vivian jumped away, and then swung his head to the other side without looking at the little girl.
Seeing this, Vivian did not give up. She was obviously mentally prepared. She hugged her again if she failed. At the same time, she activated her skills and her voice became softer.
"After being apart for so long, I...I miss you so much..."
The little girl learned this tone from strangers. In order to save her little wolf cub, Vivian was willing to risk everything. After speaking, she pursed her lips and her cheeks were on fire.
The little sparrow that had flown from the cuff to the shoulder even covered its eyes with its wings, as if unable to see.
Why...
Vivian had already used this trump card, and the little wolf cub finally turned his twisted head and sighed helplessly towards the little girl.
But actually Vivian was wrong.
Rather than saying that Liao Zixuan is angry in his heart now, it would be better to say that he is sour in his heart. If I have to compare it, it is like a silly girl who has only been with me for a few months and unexpectedly surpasses him... maybe?
Of course the most annoying thing is...
This silly girl doesn't know anything about it yet.
"Wuwu... Xiaohei... I know I was wrong... I won't dare to do it next time, I won't dare..."
Seeing that the trick just now seemed to be really effective, Vivian immediately pursued the victory. She pretended to wipe her tears, but in fact, she secretly observed the reaction of the little wolf cub through the gaps between her fingertips.
It wasn't until the little wolf cub couldn't bear it anymore and waved her little paw to Vivian to signal that it was okay, the little girl broke down in tears and smiled happily. She successfully picked up the little wolf cub and finally returned to normal.
"I knew Xiaohei you would definitely forgive me...mua!"
This kiss lasted the entire summer, and I don’t know how many NPCs and players wanted to shout that humans are worse than wolves.
Anyway...
The little wolf cub did not mention the player first, but asked the little girl to tell him the story of the "Red Armored Witch". After Vivian finished describing the original situation in detail, the little wolf cub couldn't help but Pensive.
First on the list, Liao Zixuan's guess about the identity of the red-armored witch was naturally the forbidden monster sleeping on Sakuragi Island, the nine-tailed demon fox named "Sakura".
And from what Vivian mentioned at the end, the mysterious voice of the red-armored shrine maiden mentioned the name of "Eighte Shrine" in her mind and wanted the little girl to go there, it can all confirm the connection between the two.
That being the case...
"Eh? Are we going somewhere now? But..." After hearing the cub's immediate departure, Vivian showed hesitation. It seemed that she still felt sorry for not going to the stranger.
The little wolf cub gave this a reassuring look.
Vivian still underestimates the power of players' brainstorming, and now a large number of analysis posts about her epic mission have appeared on the forum.
Players have noticed that there are hidden rewards in the first stage of "survive", and the conditions for the hidden rewards are most likely related to the second prompt value, which is the players' hunting of cursed aberrations during this period. quantity.
Let’s put together the so-called plot...
In the end, the players justified themselves and reached a consensus on the mission of the fox-faced witch.
That is, surviving is just the most basic thing.
If you want to obtain hidden rewards, you must ensure that you survive and kill as many cursed aberrations as possible, and reverse the fox-faced witch's "weak" impression of them.
This is indeed the case.
As the task publisher, Little Wolf Cub can see that the player's note number three showing "?" is actually a ranking list.
It is divided into five grades from top to bottom.
During the first stage, the number of cursed aberrations killed reached the top 0.2%, top 2%, top 7%, top 17% and the bottom 35% of all players.
Perhaps because the number of players who have received the mission is still too small, none of them are displayed. After Vivian reappears in front of the players later and continues to release this mission, this ranking should appear in front of the public.
The little wolf cub looked at the rewards above. Among them, in the first level, in addition to tens of thousands of experience points, a random rare skill book, reputation and other messy rewards, the ones that really make even the little wolf cub covet are those that can provide A hidden career change path.
Female players can choose to change their profession to a hidden profession [Battle Witch]
Male players are [divine guards]
Hidden professions crush ordinary basic professions in terms of attributes and potential, not to mention their exclusive additional skills. When others are still riding bicycles, now there is an opportunity for you to drive a car. In front of my eyes...
It can only be said that it is an epic mission.
In the first stage, other tasks were treated as "hidden career" rewards that were the finale treasures and were randomly released.
The little wolf cub can imagine how crazy the players will be next.
But at the same time, he was even more curious.
With Vivian's NPC ability, she cannot do this, so what is this epic mission...
This is why he put aside the players first and asked Vivian to quickly go to Yae Shrine.
The little wolf cub had a premonition.
The answer he wanted was right there.
Seeing that Xiao Hei didn't care about the stranger at all, Vivian finally stopped worrying and concentrated on her way.
After a while, they arrived at the foot of the familiar shrine mountain.
I don't know if it's Vivian's illusion, but she always feels that the current Shrine Mountain has less purple thunderstorms covering the top of the mountain than when they first came.
The figure of a young man was still sitting cross-legged in front of the shrine gate at the foot of the mountain.
But unlike the first time, when he sensed Vivian's arrival and immediately turned around and entered the shrine, this time the young man took the initiative to open his eyes and spoke to Vivian.
"Have you... figured it out?" Although Xiao's face was expressionless, it could be seen from his subtle movements that he was not surprised by the result.
This vampire man from "Qingfeng" is also Liz's brother. He also has the mysterious identity of "Eighth Level Heir". Apparently he thought that Vivian came to the shrine this time to find him.
"Now that you have figured it out, take me to the Flame Territory to find my sister."
Xiao Xiao said and prepared to stand up from the gate of the shrine, but who would have thought that at the next moment, this young man with facial paralysis who was originally taciturn and very indifferent would suddenly have his eyes widened, with an extremely shocked expression on his face, as if he had seen someone. Something so unbelievable that even his movements to stand up were frozen in mid-air.
because...
"Xiao Hei! I, I can actually enter the shrine!"
In front of the owl, under the young man's gaze, Vivian stepped into the shrine in one step. The absolute shrine barrier that was supposed to block all outsiders seemed to have been ignored by the little girl and had failed. .
"This...how is this possible!" Xiao Xiao exclaimed.
His first reaction was that the barrier had failed, but the power of the barrier came from her sister. If the barrier failed, it meant...
Fortunately, Xiao Xiao finally took a long breath after checking it several times.
Because there is no problem with the barrier and it is still operating as usual. In addition, Xiao also realizes that he is too nervous. If the barrier really disappears, then Sakuragi Island will be the first to suffer. How can it be as calm as it is now.
So...
Since the problem is not with the barrier, there is only one possibility.
Xiao Xiao fixed his gaze firmly on Vivian.
"How...how did you do that?"
"Hiss! Wait a minute, why is it on your body? There is..."
The young man questioned at first, but as the distance between him and Vivian grew closer, his expression changed again, and Xiao felt the aura of "same race" in the little girl.
Vivian, including the little wolf cub, all thought that Xiao's aura referred to her sister, Sakura.
What I didn't expect was...
Xiao's next words stunned them for a moment.
"This aura...is that of sister? No! Father? That's not right either...this is, is...my ancestor! You, you!" The young man stuttered to the point where he couldn't even speak clearly.
The ancestor here obviously does not refer to the ancestor of his bloodline, but the ancestor of his fox demon lineage.
"Ancestor...ancestor?"
While Vivian was still confused, Xiao seemed to be excited because it was too unbelievable. He quickly stepped forward to grab the little girl's hand and explore it carefully.
Xiao Xiao's behavior naturally aroused the cub's dissatisfaction, but before the cub could take action, Vivian's subconscious reaction came first.
Before the little girl's brain could react, her body reflexively made a step backwards.
Although the description seemed very ordinary, the red afterimage at that moment, and the moment when Xiao felt that it was Vivian avoiding his hand, and the flow of his own time seemed to be suspended, shocked Xiao again.
because this is..
""Xia Tata"! ? "Xiao blurted out this move that he was all too familiar with.
The subsequent young man never came close to Vivian again. Instead, he stomped back a few steps and distanced himself from the little girl as if he were looking at a monster.
Xia Ta, who belongs to their eighth level clan alone, is the second form of the secretly taught Liuhuo Sword Technique.
This requires not only bloodline, but also extremely high understanding. Even he has only comprehended the first form of "Wu Xiang" state, and he has never been able to learn the second form of "Xia Ta". Now it appears on this little human girl. , and was used by the opponent as naturally as eating and drinking. Even if the power is not that strong, it still makes Xiao Xiao feel...frightened.
For a moment.
Just when Vivian used "Kasumi Step", Xiaozhen thought in a daze that the person standing opposite him was the legendary one who established the Yae Shrine and also opened up their fox demon clan and entered the ranks of "forbidden monsters" That great ancestor.
"Well... calm down first. Actually, I don't know what happened to me. I came to the shrine this time because I wanted to ask you for advice."
"That's right, not long ago..."
Under Vivian's comfort, Xiao finally calmed down. After that, he said nothing and quietly listened to the little girl's story about her previous experience with the "Red-armored Witch".
But unfortunately, Xiao Xiao shook his head under Vivian's expectant eyes.
"I don't know the miko you're talking about, but if she really gave you a hint to come to Yae Shrine, she would have just asked you... to go to that place."
"That place?" Vivian asked.
"right."
Xiao nodded with a complicated expression. After hesitating for a few moments, he finally turned and walked towards the depths of the shrine, asking the little girl behind him to follow him.
In this way, they climbed to the end of the shrine mountain step by step, and what finally appeared in front of Vivian was a...
Sakura?
To be precise, it is an unimaginably huge cherry tree.
It grows in the deepest part of the shrine. Compared with this cherry tree, the surrounding shrine rooms and facilities are as small as a toy.
Its rhizomes are extremely thick and bottomless, as if the entire shrine mountain has been trampled and spread to the bottom.
Vivian even had the illusion that the sacred cherry blossoms did not grow on the shrine mountain, but that the shrine mountain was formed and born due to the sacred cherry blossoms.
However, just such a sacred tree, which has lived for hundreds of years...or even thousands of years, is now withered and withered. It is said to be a cherry tree, but there is not even a single cherry blossom in sight. All the branches are bare. Like a dry river bed, if you look closely, you can see countless small cracks covering the surface.
"This sacred cherry tree has always been the absolute lifeblood of our Yae Shrine. All previous shrine owners must be approved by the sacred cherry blossoms before they can succeed, because it is said that this sacred cherry tree was planted by our ancestors. Our Yae Clan has incomparable significance.”
"But, after my sister's accident happened..." Xiao said, clenching his fists and falling silent.
Vivian also noticed that right in front of the sacred cherry tree, there was a stone fox statue that was more than two people tall.
Although Xiao didn't say it, it could be seen from his expression that this stone statue was the forbidden monster from the other side of the Thousand Islands that had sealed itself and fallen asleep, the nine-tailed demon fox Sakura.
However, what makes the little girl strange is that the race is called the nine-tailed demon fox, but judging from the stone fox statue in front of her, it is clear that it only has...eight tails?
"I don't know, but as far as I can remember, all of our fox demon clan have eight tails. This is also the origin of the name of Yae Shrine."
Xiao Xiao read Vivian's confusion and explained aloud. Then, as if he was moved by the scene, he stared blankly at the stone statue in front of the sacred cherry tree and stopped talking.
Now that we are here, Vivian no longer flinches.
And she also felt a call from the bottom of her heart.
It's the divine cherry opposite.
So, after the little girl gave the little wolf cub a look, she put him and Xin Yan down and walked towards Shenying alone.
As Vivian gets closer, the feeling of Shen Ying's calling becomes stronger... No, on the contrary, it becomes weaker.
Instead.
It is a sense of doubt coming from Shen Ying.
Just like before, I saw a figure very similar to an old friend from a distance, but as the figure got closer and closer, I realized that the thing was different and it was not the one it expected.
Finally, when Vivian was only three steps away from Shenying, even the dying Shenying became restless.
When the little girl took the first step, it transformed into various small animals as its eyes. However, when it saw the witch costume on Vivian and the fox mask on her waist, everything stood in the way. All the transformed animals got out of the way.
When taking the second step, what was transformed by Shenying this time was no longer a small animal, but a variety of terrifying aberrant monsters on the island. They were ferocious and cruel and wanted to pounce on the little girl, tear her into pieces and eat them. In response, Vivian closed her eyes, and the first move of the Flowing Fire Knife Technique, "Wu Xiang", came out smoothly, making her steps slow. No matter how much the evil spirits interfered, they could not stop her steps.
This second step has also been taken.
Finally, there is only one last step left, and this time...
But it was no longer Vivian who Shenying was testing.
But...
【Ding! You have been forced to accept the emergency mission "The Revival of Divine Sakura"]
All the players on Sakuragi Island, no matter what they are doing at the moment, this system prompt sounds in their minds.
When the players hurriedly clicked on it, they found that this task had no task description, no task prompts, and not even task rewards, only a short dialog box.
[Are you willing to contribute 500 experience points to "Fox-Faced Miko"? 】
【whether】
[Task time limit: 5...4...]
500 experience points.
In the past, there were definitely many players on Sakuragi Island who, even if they had a favorable impression of the fox-faced witch, would hesitate to give out such a large amount of experience points in the early stage. In addition, there is another Whether a large number of players can get these 500 experience points is a question.
The time left for the player for this task is only five seconds, which means that it can only be done subconsciously, and there is no time to accumulate experience.
But things are different now.
Not all are guaranteed.
But it can be said that 90% of the players did not hesitate and directly chose [Yes]
Beams of light that are invisible to the players rise from all over Sakuragi Island, and then fly straight to the center of the island, the peak of Yae Shrine, where the sacred cherry blossoms are.
A single beam of light may be very weak, but with the huge number of players, countless beams combined together...
Emerald green buds grew from the withered sacred cherry branches. One of the branches closest to Vivian began to sprout and bear flowers. Finally, the pink cherry petals flew and fell on Vivian's palm. among.
This moment...
System prompts that were even crazier than the last time the "Red-armored Witch" appeared began to bombard the little wolf cub's mind.
