Evil Immortal!

Chapter 70: A Surprise for the Players!

There are so many people in the world who are not afraid of death... Sun Youfu had many questions in his mind, but he still nodded seriously and kept Meng Yuan's words firmly in mind.

Although I don't know why Meng Yuan said those things, it's definitely right to listen to Meng Yuan!

"Let's go back to our base first."

Ignoring the murmuring players, Meng Yuan uttered a single sentence and walked ahead.

Sun Youfu naturally had no objections, and Zhang Wei and the others quickly followed.

Before long, after arriving at the patrol team's camp, Meng Yuan's appearance attracted the attention of many people.

Some river patrol workers appeared upon hearing the news. They looked at Meng Yuan's figure and whispered among themselves, somewhat surprised and puzzled, clearly recognizing Meng Yuan.

Five months ago, Meng Yuan, the deputy captain, left the river patrol team and joined the Demon Suppression Division, which caused quite a stir in the team at the time.

And I heard that he has now become a big shot in the Demon Suppression Division. "Haha... I wondered who it was, it turns out to be Lord Meng!"

'

With a loud laugh, a "mountain of flesh" emerged from the house and faced Meng Yuan.

"What the hell?"

"Damn, that scared me! I thought it was a wild boar that had come to life! How come this old man is fatter than a pig?!"

'

"So he's the captain of the river patrol team!"

'

Zhang Wei and the others were taken aback and made a fuss. Upon closer inspection, they realized that the mountain of flesh was actually a person!

And he was an old man!

This fat old man was broad and stout, nine feet tall and seven feet wide. His body was covered in layers of fat, which made him appear strong at first glance, and then obese. Coupled with his face full of fat, he was incredibly imposing, not much less so than the demonized fish from before.

Moreover, the probe obtained information that Huang Qing was a second-tier innate martial artist, an ordinary NPC, whose identity was the captain of the river patrol team!

Hearing the whispers of the group, Huang Qing's smile faltered. He glanced at them, memorized their faces, and then continued exchanging pleasantries with Meng Yuan.

"Did you hear that? The patrol team leader is calling Master Ziyang 'Lord Meng.' Just who is this Master Ziyang? And what is the Demon Suppression Division?"

""

Seeing the old man, who looked like a mountain of flesh, being unusually polite to Meng Yuan, and even trying to force a hint of flattery on his face, the other players were filled with doubt and curiosity about Meng Yuan's background.

They had just questioned Sun Youfu and learned about the power of the river patrol team.

Knowing that this old man was a legitimate official belonging to the Great Mu Dynasty, and that his cultivation and status were both quite high, he still treated Meng Yuan with such courtesy.

As for the Demon Suppression Division, they asked about it, but Sun Youfu hesitated and didn't say much, which made them guess that the Demon Suppression Division where Meng Yuan worked must be extraordinary!

While Meng Yuan and Huang Qing chatted idly, the players weren't idle either. They started actively contacting other river patrol workers, either to trigger quests or to inquire about information.

After a lot of work, they finally figured out their location: outside Black Sand City.

There are also some villages nearby, with many ordinary villagers.

After discussing it, the group decided to try their luck in a nearby village to see if they could get some quests.

Because the patrol team's base was located outside the city, it was uninhabitable and lacked food. Moreover, they needed to find a safe place to go, whether online or offline.

Therefore, staying here is not appropriate.

The game has just launched, so the priority is to quickly understand the game world's background and grow stronger. They don't want to waste any time.

However, Zhang Wei and his friends did receive some good news!

In this river patrol team, there is actually a martial arts technique called "Black Pig Gluttony Technique". Although it is only a low-level basic martial arts technique and not the kind of job change skill book, you can learn it from the team leader Huang Qing for just ten taels of silver!

Of course, the first prerequisite to obtaining this archway is to join the river patrol team, and the second is to complete some tasks to gain a certain level of favor with the team leader, Huang Qing.

Even so, Zhang Wei and the others were quite surprised and realized that there was an opportunity to change jobs. They decided to first clear the land and explore the map in the nearby villages to solve the problem of hunger, and then find a way to join the river patrol team!

Time is tight, the game just launched today, but even so, more than ten million players have already flooded into the game [Evil Immortal], and there will definitely be more players joining in the future.

With over 30 billion federal citizens and so many potential competitors, anything is possible. Someone might just enter the game and get a great opportunity, so they naturally need to grow quickly to distance themselves from other players!

Before leaving, Zhang Wei and the others decided to say hello to Meng Yuan one last time and leave a good impression.

It's never wrong to be polite, especially to such a high-ranking NPC.

Master Ziyang clearly has a close relationship with the river patrol team and Huang Qing and others, but because their strength is too weak at the moment, they cannot trigger any missions. However, there is no doubt that Master Ziyang will benefit them greatly.

Perhaps a nightmare-level NPC like Master Ziyang is simply beyond the reach of people at their current level.

Perhaps only after they change jobs will they be able to trigger hidden storylines and side quests from Master Ziyang.

They thought Meng Yuan wouldn't pay any attention to them, but to their surprise, Meng Yuan pondered for a moment and then said something like this: "Although you are all ordinary people and not cultivators, you asked around and took the initiative to help, wanting to do something for the river patrol team. This kind of intention is rare and precious."

""

"In that case, I can give you a chance."

Zhang Wei and the others were both surprised and delighted, realizing that their actions of triggering missions everywhere had won the other party's favor and triggered a hidden event. They quickly responded, "Please give us your orders as soon as possible! We will go through fire and water for you!"

Meng Yuan nodded slightly, seemingly quite satisfied with their performance, and said, "I once lost something at the Corpse Buddha Temple. If you can help me retrieve it, I will certainly not treat you unfairly."

"However, you are too weak right now to complete this task. Wait until you become cultivators before doing this. As for now... you can keep an eye out for any activity at the Corpse Buddha Temple."

"The Corpse Buddha Temple?"

'

The group of people were stunned.

Meng Yuan explained: "The Corpse Buddha Temple is located seventy miles west of the downstream end of the Yinliu River. It is a dangerous place inhabited by many evil spirits. Among them is a Corpse Buddha that is no ordinary being. However, this Corpse Buddha should still be asleep at the moment, but the other evil spirits and demons inside are not to be trifled with."

As he spoke, Meng Yuan took out three talismans and casually tossed them out. The light talismans landed in Zhang Wei's hand like stones: "These talismans contain my divine imprint. You can contact me by tearing up any one of them. If you discover anything unusual about the Corpse Buddha Temple or make any important discoveries, just use these to contact me."
