Chapter 1379 - 1379 Reward Mission
1379 Reward Mission
The party entered the cave. Baraz lit a torch and led the party toward the crack in the depths of the cave. He reminded them in a low voice, “Everyone, the difficulty of our mission this time is not high. I will repeat my request. After I use the mission item to trigger the night violet, the obsidian beetle hidden underground will wake up and attack us.”
“Obsidian beetles usually hide underground. They have acid spray attacks and attack by splashing rocks after diving into the ground. Their damage output is not high, but they hide underground and are very troublesome. In addition, they have a hard shell, which is difficult to deal with.”
“All the material rewards after the mission is completed will belong to you. I only want the evolution crystals dropped by the obsidian beetle. I want to level up.”
The mission requirements had already been posted on the black market once before, and Fang Heng had read them carefully.
The employer requires at least 2000 Tier 1 mutation crystals.
Fang Heng confirmed with Baraz again, “What is the level of the obsidian beetle? What is the drop rate of the mutation crystal?”
“The level is relatively low, but the number of obsidian beetles is very large. It can be confirmed that there will be elite-type obsidian beetles spawning halfway through the mission. We need to be prepared in advance.”
Baraz lowered his head and estimated, “From the previous battles, the drop rate of Tier 1 mutation crystal is about 20%, and the drop rate of Tier 2 mutation crystal is about 0.3%.”
Fang Heng thought for a moment and continued, “If you have many Tier 2 mutation crystals, give me the rest.”
“Huh?”
Baraz was slightly stunned.
More?
Baraz even suspected that he had misheard.
Level-up required a huge amount of mutation crystal. How could there be more?
Seeing Fang Heng continue walking forward calmly, he immediately agreed, “Oh, okay, no problem.”
The mutation crystal was bound to the party. As long as it was enough to level up, the extras would be useless.
Soon, the team followed Baraz down the underground crack and entered the underground world.
According to their agreement, Hannart, the team leader Baraz hired, took over the command of the team. He waved his hand to signal the team to get into formation and reminded them in a low voice.
“Everyone, the underground world is very dangerous. There are traps everywhere. We must be vigilant. We will move forward slowly. Be careful.”
With that, Hannant waved his hand.
Everyone gradually went deeper into the underground world.
“Chi chi chi…”
After moving forward for a while, Hannart quickly discovered the situation.
Hannart immediately signaled for the team to stop moving forward and stay in place to guard against the darkness ahead.
Soon, two groups of 20-plus members of the cave-dwelling beast patrol team appeared in the darkness.
The leader of the cave-dwelling beast patrol team sensed the aura on Fang Heng’s body and led the team closer to Fang Heng and the others.
Hannart was vigilant and reminded him in a low voice, “Everyone, don’t attack first. These are cave-dwelling beasts, a group of creatures that live in the underground world all year round. The strength of ordinary cave-dwelling beasts is not high, but they will gather nearby companions. Recently, there’s been news that the cave-dwelling beasts and Tang Mingyue have reached a cooperative relationship. As long as we don’t do anything hostile, they won’t attack.”
As Hannart spoke, he saw Fang Heng walking toward the cave-dwelling beasts.
Hannart wanted to call Fang Heng, but he didn’t know his name.
“Hey, you…Be careful.”
Fang Heng took a few steps forward and stopped, staring at the cave-dwelling beasts in front of him.
The leader of the cave-dwelling beast patrol team said something to Fang Heng.
Fang Heng could not understand the language of the cave-dwelling beasts, so he could not react. He just stood there quietly.
Soon, the two teams of cave-dwelling beasts confirmed Fang Heng’s aura and quickly hid in the darkness.
Hannart couldn’t help but feel puzzled.
Strange, why did these cave-dwelling beasts run away again?
Hannart couldn’t help but look at Fang Heng.
From the beginning, he felt that Fang Heng was very familiar as if he had seen him somewhere before. urn to the team, Hannart couldn’t help but ask, “What did you say to them just now?”
Fang Heng shrugged and said, “They didn’t say anything. I don’t understand their language.”
“It’s normal that you don’t understand. By the way, have we met before?”
“I don’t think so.”
“Alright, everyone be careful. Let’s continue moving forward.”
Hannart suppressed the doubts in his heart and signaled for the team to continue moving forward.
The location marked by the mission was deep in the underground world.
The group of people moved forward.
The journey was calm and peaceful, and the team advanced for more than an hour.
Hannart felt strange. It had already been more than an hour!
They were about to reach the mission destination.
It was three hours earlier than expected.
Baraz was also a little confused, and he kept exchanging glances with Hannart.
This was really strange!
The last time they came to the cave to complete the prerequisite mission, they encountered all kinds of hardships along the way. It was almost as if each step was a pit. They had gone through 81 difficulties along the way before they arrived at the mission location.
Why did they not see any underworld monsters other than the first few cave-dwelling beasts?
Was he really that lucky today?
Or were they going to gather together and make a big deal out of it?
Baraz felt that a bigger storm was brewing in the calm, and he could not help but slow down.
The other members of the team also vaguely felt it.
Today was a little too peaceful.
However, no one spoke. The entire team was shrouded in an unusual layer of heaviness.
Fang Heng wasn’t in a hurry. After all, it wasn’t time for the zombie clones to resurrect.
“Everyone stop!”
Suddenly, Hannart sensed something. He raised his hand and signaled the team to stop moving.
Rustling sounds came from the darkness ahead again. The sounds soon became more concentrated.
From the darkness ahead, a large number of cave-dwelling beasts appeared.
So many?
Baraz swallowed his saliva and was extremely nervous.
What was going on?
Had the cave-dwelling beasts gone crazy?
More and more cave-dwelling beasts surrounded them from all directions.
They had been to the underground world several times before and had come into contact with the cave-dwelling beasts a few times, but they had never reacted as strongly as they did today.
Could it be related to the mission?
The mercenaries saw that the situation was not good and held their weapons tightly.
With a grave expression, Hannart signaled the team not to act rashly. Just as he was hesitating whether he should step forward and say something, the densely packed group of cave-dwelling beasts suddenly opened up a small path.
Following that, a few humans wearing the Empire’s uniform walked out, surrounded by the cave-dwelling beasts.
