Chapter 68 Bounty Mission: City Massacre Murderer

Han Xing observed the bodies on the ground and came to a conclusion.

This should not be the body of a child, but another race in this world, the dwarves.

"dwarf?"

Han Xing sounded a little confused.

On the side, Zhang Lianmeng looked at him with curious eyes.

Han Xing did not explain, but continued to look at the surrounding ground.

It's okay if you don't look at it, but when you look at it, you suddenly take a breath of air.

On the floor of the cave, there are skeletons of various beasts and humanoid creatures everywhere. These skeletons have different characteristics. Some have diagonal foreheads, some have wings on their backs, and the height of the skeletons ranges from two to three meters to one or two meters.

There is no doubt that these corpses are special creatures of this world.

Among them, Han Xing also saw several corpses that had just died. Their death conditions were very strange, the skin on the surface was intact, and there was not even a trace of blood.

However, the flesh and blood on their bodies seemed to have been drained away, leaving only a thin piece of human skin covering the skeleton.

Han Xing turned around and asked, "Did the person you found in the Goblin camp look like this last time?"

Zhang Lianmeng nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. Although she was still very scared, for some reason, Han Xing felt an inexplicable sense of security when she was around her.

Han Xing clearly felt that this cave was a bit strange.

And so far, there are no next clues to trigger the hidden mission, nor any traces of ancient weapons.

Han Xing began to continue searching in the cave.

Half an hour later, they walked around in a circle, but found nothing except the skeletons of hundreds of corpses.

However, he did get some information, that is, the area of this cave is really large.

A conservative estimate is that the diameter is at least more than two kilometers.

At this moment, Zhang Lianmeng suddenly pointed forward and said, "There seems to be something painted on the wall."

"Um?"

Han Xing quickly looked in the direction she pointed, and indeed saw some graffiti-like patterns.

Taking a closer look, Han Xing found that the style of these patterns was more realistic, more like murals.

Han Xing walked to the beginning of the mural, which showed the appearance of an elf man with pointed ears and slender limbs.

He sat on a high branch, smiling, overlooking a village below.

But when it came to the second mural, the painting style suddenly changed. It seemed to be a scene of this Elf man being bullied by several other Elf people, stepping on his feet and beating him repeatedly.

In the third mural, the elf man retreated into his small room, weeping silently. A middle-aged elf with a terrifying face stood beside the bed, looking at him with a strange smile.

Especially the deep pupils of the middle-aged elf were painted extremely vividly. Han Xing could feel the creepy feeling from the mural.

The fifth, sixth, and even the dozens of murals that follow are all scenes of this elf boy being bullied.

Elf men have been bullied by other elves from childhood to youth, and their temperament has become increasingly gloomy.

But the strange thing is that in every picture, there is a middle-aged man with a terrifying face, hiding in the corner and watching silently.

Until the thirtieth mural, this elf man was kneeling beside his bed. Lying on the bed was the middle-aged elf who often appeared in the painting.

Seeing the middle-aged elf dying, the elf man not only did not feel any heartache, but instead showed a relieved smile.

However, even after the elf died, his situation did not seem to get better.

He still endured insults and beatings from other elves.

What's even more terrifying is that the elf man still feels that those terrifying eyes are staring at him.

Isn’t that guy dead long ago?

He thought so.

Until the fifty-third mural, an elf girl with a gentle smile on her face appeared. She was like a beam of light shining into the darkness, and also illuminated the life of this elf man.

She became friends with him for a brief two days, and then left.

Whenever the elf man felt like he couldn't hold on any longer, he would think about the smile on the elf girl's face, and the corners of his mouth would unconsciously show the same smile as hers.

However, when he saw the elf girl reappearing, she was already with an elf who often bullied him. The psychological defense that the elf man had finally established was torn apart at this moment.

He ran to question the elf girl, but what he got in return was ridicule and beating.

The elf man fell to the ground covered in blood. Faintly, he seemed to see the shadow of the middle-aged man appear again, squatting and whispering in his ear.

The elf man went crazy.

He returned to his room, drew a strange magic circle, then cut his wrist and let the blood flow.

In the magic circle, a terrifying shadow appeared. When the elf man was dying, he knelt down respectfully to him, and he also gained powerful power.

The elf man went to find the girl with a smile on his face. He thought that after gaining strength, he would be able to gain her approval again.

However, when the girl saw him, she was so frightened that she backed away. Her eyes looked like she was looking at a monster.

Only then did the elf man see his current appearance.

His dark brown hair began to fall out in handfuls, and then his eyebrows all fell off with just a light touch. In the end, not even a single hair on his body was left, and all fell off.

He was like a naked monster, standing on the street, receiving weird looks from his peers.

However, the changes are far from over.

After losing all his hair, his nails also began to fall off, and sharp claws grew. At the same time, his nose became as swollen as a grunt.

Not only that, his arms were connected to his body, growing a pair of huge fleshy wings.

At this moment, he transformed from a noble elf into a hateful-looking strange bird.

The elves quickly called in guards to hunt down this monster.

When the sharp spear penetrated his chest, the elite man's eyes widened, and the fear of death made him subconsciously wave his flesh wings.

At this time, he discovered that he was actually flying.

The elf man began to spread his wings and run wildly, his eyes filled with hatred and anger.

He rushed to a secret place in the center of the town, took out a huge golden cannon from it, and began to frantically wash away the town.

Countless elves died tragically under his cannon fire, and the town turned into a sea of fire.

After doing all this, the elf man turned around and ran away.

And he was naturally wanted by the elves.

In the process of running away, the elf man was desperate and found an ancient magic circle.

The place the magic circle leads to is called the Abandoned Land of the Gods.

That place seemed to scare this strange bird.

However, in order to survive, he finally activated the teleportation array.

At the end of the picture, the elf man found a floating island and entered the forest.

But what he didn't notice was that there seemed to be a black shadow that followed him to the island.

…

After reading this, Han Xing seemed to understand something, and seemed to have some bad premonitions in his heart.

He said in a serious tone: "It seems... something went wrong."

Zhang Lianmeng looked nervous and her body was shaking slightly, "What's wrong?"

Han Xing frowned, "So far, we haven't found any clues about the hidden mission."

"Speaking of which, when I came into contact with the metal fragment, the system didn't say it was a hidden mission. It just said that the metal fragment could be used to open the giant stone door."

"In other words, what the NPC told you may be false, and we were fooled!"

"What?" Zhang Lianmeng's delicate body trembled, her face full of disbelief.

At this moment, a pair of red eyes suddenly appeared deep in the dark cave.

Behind the scenes, terrifying wind sounds could be heard from time to time.

Han Xing obviously realized something was wrong and said quickly: "There is a monster, run!"

But by now, it's too late.

A terrifying monster came from behind at great speed with the sound of howling wind.

Han Xing quickly took out the legendary quality Moon Crown Longbow and instantly entered combat mode.

However, at this moment, a terrible hurricane hit.

call--

Han Xing and Zhang Lianmeng were thrown upside down by the hurricane for more than ten meters.

The dark flint torch fell from his hand.

With the fiery red light, Han Xing finally saw clearly the creature that attacked them.

It was a terrifying strange bird that was over two meters tall, had a pair of huge fleshy wings, and had no hair on its body.

It is exactly the same as the monster shown on the mural.

At this moment, the system prompt came.

[You have found the hiding place of the Elf traitor Caleb, and the bounty mission, ‘City Massacre Murderer’, is automatically triggered. You can complete the mission according to your own choice. 】

[Option 1: Kill the strange bird Caleb, take its head to the Elf Capital, and collect the reward. 】

[Option 2: Go to the Elf Capital, tell the Elf Guards where Caleb is hiding, and help them capture Caleb. 】

Please note: Because you are in the "Land Abandoned by the Gods" and the "Elven Capital" map has not yet been opened, this task cannot be completed for the time being.

"Oh my god, it turns out this is the real hidden mission!"

Han Xing turned around sharply and met the monster's bloodthirsty eyes.

Almost without thinking, he shot a wind-chasing arrow.

Ding!

Seeing the arrows coming, the strange bird flapped its fleshy wings, creating a hurricane and blowing the arrows aside.

This arrow had no effect, and Han Xing's heart sank.

It was at this moment that he finally saw the attributes of this monster.
