I have to get lucky right away.

Chapter 226 Talismans are very important

"Hey! You scoundrel!"

With a shout from the shield warrior, the running figure suddenly froze, then abruptly turned around and charged back, screeching and yelling.

Only then did the group get a clear look at what this "elite monster" looked like.

In terms of appearance, at first glance, it is no different from other humanoid monsters, with a humanoid body and animal or monster features.

However, unlike most of the monsters on this map that have demonic features, it looks a bit like the old version of the werewolf Wolf. But upon closer inspection, you will find that the details are quite different. Although the werewolf Wolf also has a wolf's head and a human body, he has broad shoulders and a wide body, forming an inverted triangle. When he stands there, he gives off the feeling of a giant with two doors, which is very intimidating.

The one in front of us is like a petty thief with a dog's head on him; the dog's paws scratch at the shield, and not even a spark is thrown out.

"This elite monster is way too weak, isn't it?"

The shield warrior, seeing that he hadn't even lost any health, twitched slightly at the corner of his mouth. The elemental mage next to him casually cast an instant fireball, which hit the dog's head directly.

only……

"Nothing? How could that be!"

While it's normal not to be able to instantly kill small monsters, it's a bit unbelievable that a small monster whose defense can't be broken can withstand a fully leveled fireball.

As the players exchanged bewildered glances, they unleashed several more attacks, all of which proved completely ineffective. The taunting period finally ended, but instead of the elite monster's ultimate attack or the reward monster's escape, what awaited them was...

"Heroes, please spare my life! I have an eighty-year-old mother who is bedridden, and a three-year-old child who is crying for food. I am the only one to rely on in my family. Please, heroes, spare my life!"

"What is this thing?" The cultivation player turned to look at his teammates, his lips twitching as he asked.
Are all the monsters in your game like this?

"I don't know, I've never seen it before." The shield warrior tilted his head, while the elemental mage muttered:

"After being targeted by concentrated fire twice, there's been no change whatsoever. Who was letting whom go?"

However, this is ultimately a game. Since the other party can be interacted with, the monster has immediately become an NPC. The elemental mage adjusted his mood before saying:

"Who are you? Which boss are you with? Why are you here?"

"Can he understand if you ask him that?" the cultivator player asked in a low voice, but the elemental mage nodded.

"The NPCs in this game are very intelligent. Look, they've already stopped kowtowing, haven't they?"

The cultivator glanced over and, sure enough, the little monster had stopped kowtowing, its brows furrowed in struggle. Finally, it gritted its teeth and said:

"To be honest, fellow heroes, I am a little demon enlightened by the Demon Dragon King, searching for spiritual talismans for him."

"A Spirit Talisman? Could it be the Demonic Dragon Spirit Talisman that the NPC mentioned earlier?" The cultivator's eyes darted around, and he immediately exclaimed:
"How did you find it? Did you find it?"

"His Majesty bestowed upon me a magical artifact for finding spiritual clues. I'm certain it's in this area, but I haven't found it yet." The dog-headed soldier seemed to have given up, directly pulling out a compass, the kind often used by feng shui masters in movies. The shield warrior reached out and actually took it.

"What attributes?" The cultivator players immediately came over, and the shield warrior shook his head and said, "It's just some random stuff without any attributes."

Just as the group was about to look at the little demon again, they saw it suddenly leap backward nimbly, shouting:
"There is a flaw!"

"boom!"

A puff of white smoke rose, and the elemental mage immediately cast a "dispel" spell, but the little demon had already disappeared without a trace, leaving only a paper figure behind.

"What is this? A substitution jutsu?" The shield warrior took two steps forward, picked up the paper figure, examined it, and then shook his head.
"It's also miscellaneous items."

"This game shouldn't have any useless storylines. Let's follow the compass and see what it points to." The elemental mage thought for a moment. Anyway, he had used up his dungeon attempts for the day, and he would need to find monsters to level up his alt, so he might as well look for some while he was at it.

Upon hearing this, the shield warrior replied:

"There might be a hidden mission here. Are the three of us enough? Should we call a few more people?"

"No need. The fact that there are miscellaneous items means they won't fall. If we encounter a problem, we can just stuff them into our backpacks and go back to where we are. We'll only lose some experience. What if there's a time limit?" The elemental mage shook his head and took the lead in moving in the direction of the pointer. The shield warrior couldn't let a fragile character go ahead, so he had no choice but to follow.

The cultivation alt has no rights; since both older brothers have left, he naturally has to follow suit.

"The pointer is starting to jitter, which means it's nearby."

Despite saying that, the three of them didn't see anything special; if they had to name it, it was just a few demon sentries.

"Anyway, let's clear out the mobs first!" The elemental mage cast a Fireball spell and unleashed it. This time, there were no unexpected problems. With the sound of the explosion, several mobs instantly evaporated, turning into experience points for the cultivation alt.

but……

"Hmm, something fell? Why is it more debris again?"

The shield warrior noticed what was left behind after the monsters disappeared and couldn't help but look puzzled.

This thing looks like a short octagonal prism. There is a pattern consisting of three horizontal lines on the front, and a string of completely incomprehensible characters on the back.

"The compass is spinning. This should be what that little monster is looking for. But how do you use a miscellaneous item? Should I give it to that NPC?" The elemental mage took the talisman and examined it, finding the writing on the back to be utter scribbles. He immediately took a few screenshots, intending to ask the AI ​​after logging off. However, a sudden inspiration struck him, and he turned and handed the talisman to his cultivation alt account:
"Do you think it will work?"

"Use? How do I use it?" The cultivation alt took the talisman, also full of questions. However, as a newbie, he lacked the mental constraints of the veterans and actually opened the talent tree, skill tree, and character panel to check them one by one. What he saw made him pause slightly, then he said:
"My physical damage and the lethality of my flying sword have both increased, but the numbers are not high."

The elementalist had a strange expression. He immediately took the talisman, but what he enhanced was his magical penetration.

"Could it be something like an amulet from an old game? That increases stats when you wear it? You don't even need to put it in your backpack... Hmm, wait a minute, let me put it in my backpack and see." Elemental Mage mentioned it, and seeing that the two had no objections, he put it in his backpack.

"No, the buff is gone, but it'll still work if you put it in your pocket." The mage took out the talisman and handed it to the shield warrior, who looked at it and said:

"I increased the defense/counter ratio, so this thing is a new attribute booster in the game? No wonder that dragon boss's stats were so outrageous, it turns out it was all about making up for it in this aspect!"
