Chapter 789: Players from Various Countries (Part 2)
But now, he couldn’t enter the gathering point given by the mission. He didn’t know about the other gathering points either. He had also been poisoned to death.
At this moment, the members of the Moon Cutting Guild were at their wits ‘end.
Just as Waning Moon was planning to look for Hei Yu again and explain to him the difficulties of the situation here and whether he could get some support from Hei Yu…
“I’m sorry to disturb you.”Suddenly, a heavy voice sounded from behind the players.
Everyone immediately turned around and looked in the direction of the voice. They saw an old man in casual clothes standing on a secluded path at the side, looking at them.
Although he was an old man, he did not look old at all. Instead, he had a tall and straight waist, a tall and well-proportioned figure, and distinct facial features.
However, why did the first impression he gave the players was still that of an old gentleman? Perhaps it was the kind of feeling that only when he was a certain age would he have a sense of maturity.
Just by standing there quietly, the old man gave off a steady and steady aura, like a rock.
Oh, of course.
There was also the most obvious, slightly old-fashioned tone.
“I heard you guys talking about Di Hu Yan just now…My friends, are you an archaeologist?”
“Uh… That’s right!” Guild Leader Waning Moon reacted the fastest and immediately went along with the story. His first instinct was that he had probably triggered some quest plot.
“Sir, are you the same?” he asked immediately.”
“No, I can only be considered an enthusiist.”The old man shook his head.
Enthusiast…
Waning Moon was a little disappointed. He even used his detection skill to check on this NPC and found that he was indeed an ordinary person. He was not even level 10.
However, since the other party appeared here and even took the initiative to talk to them, there must be some clues on him.
Hence, Waning Moon quickly asked,”
“Is that so? To be honest, we are actually looking for Di Hu Yan to use…As a research sample, I can see that you seem to be very interested in the Dihu Rock. Do you also know about this strange stone?”
“Yes, I do know a thing or two.”
This time, the old man nodded. Then, as if he was strolling in the mountains and encountering a junior with the same hobby, he began an impromptu academic exchange. The old man began to talk.
“When I was young and traveling, I was fortunate enough to see that strange rock. It had an orange-yellow appearance, with half of it exposed and the other half wrapped in accompanying minerals. At that time, I was shocked by the extremely dense rock elemental energy within the crystal. Later on, it was also under the introduction of my companions that I realized that it was the Emperor Amber Rock.”
” Legend has it that Dihu Yan was originally an ordinary stone amber. It was only because they were very close to the place where the Rock Emperor was in seclusion that they were stained with the aura of that Emperor over time. Under imperceptible influence, the coarse impurities in their bodies were slowly removed, and finally condensed into pure rock elemental crystal stones. They were incomparably sturdy compared to other rocks, and that was why they got the name Dihu Yan.”
The old man’s explanation could not help but raise his image in the hearts of the members of the Moon Slashing Guild. After all, they had asked so many NPCs, but every one of them could be like this old man now. Not only did he explain it clearly, but they had even seen it with their own eyes!
“Then, old sir, where can we find such a strange rock again?”Waning Moon couldn’t help but get to the main topic a little anxiously.
“There should still be some remnants in the depths of Mount Taihua. However, the Emperor is about to come out of seclusion, so Mount Taihua has been sealed by an array formation. People like you and me who are not within the five elements should not be able to enter. In that case…”
The old man seemed to be deep in thought, but he quickly said,”Young friend, if you are really in a hurry, I have thought of a place where you can try your luck.”
“Old mister, please speak!”
It’s here, this is it!
Waning Moon and the members of Slaying Moon were very excited and secretly happy.
At the same time, they finally realized that it was not some wall of air, but a sealing array set up by the five elements. So, could it be that the Emperor was really in seclusion on Mount Taihua?
For now, they were still focused on listening to the old man’s next clue.
“Not far from Mount Taihua, there is a small town called Chiyuan Town. You should be able to find it if you ask around along the way.”
“Legend has it that an Immortal Chiyuan once appeared in that small town, and the name of the town was changed because of it. The luck I mentioned earlier was referring to this Immortal.”
“In this era of celestials, perhaps that celestial is the only one who is willing to show her face in the mortal world. As long as you find her and ask her patiently and sincerely, it should not be difficult to find Di Hu Yan.”
“As for how to find it…But I happen to have a portrait of Immortal Chi Yuan in my hands. At least we’re fated to meet today, so I’ll go with the flow and give it to you.”
After parting ways with the old man and leaving Mount Taihua, it did not take long for the party from the Moon Cutting Guild to successfully find Scarlet Egret Town.
However, when they first arrived in this town, if it weren’t for the three big words “Red Eaven Town” written on the System Map, they would have thought that they had been cheated.
The reason was very simple. The name of this town was so nice, but the actual appearance was abnormally dilapidated, and even…A little desolate?
Fortunately, there were still quite a lot of people in the town, and there was a lively atmosphere coming and going. This kind of conflict between the lively crowd and the dilapidated buildings made the people of the Moon Slaying Sect feel very strange, but in short, they still had business to attend to.
They began to take the portrait given by the old man and asked the villagers one by one. However, after more than ten minutes, the answers they received were all…I don’t know him!
Oh no, there was a villager who said he knew him.
However…
“Little friend, are you sure you’ve seen this person in the portrait?”Zhan Yue asked the little boy in front of him, who was probably only seven or eight years old.
The little boy nodded and replied in a young voice,
“Of course! Not only have I seen it before, I even know it! This big sister keeps asking to play cards with us, but her card skills are terrible. She loses to us every time!”
“Uh…” Waning Moon didn’t know what to say.
The little boy pouted when he saw that his big brother did not seem to believe him.
“Big brother, if you don’t believe me, I’ll bring you to her now! However… Big brother, I have to remind you that that sister’s personality is terrible. Every time she loses to us in a game of cards, she always finds an excuse to force us to play again until she wins.”
“Uh… Alright, take us to see that sister first.”
Although it sounded a little different from the ‘Immortal Chi Yuan’ that Waning Moon had imagined, she could not completely believe a child’s words. Waning Moon decided to take a look first, regardless of whether it was true or not.
However…
The little boy blinked at the waning moon and did not move.
It was only when Waning Moon took out another piece of candy that the little boy’s eyes turned into crescents.
“Come, big brother, this way!“
Under the guidance of the little boy, they soon arrived at a courtyard in the center of the town.
However, before Waning Moon could step into the courtyard, an impatient female voice could be heard from outside.
“Wait… Wait a minute! That one doesn’t count. My hand slipped. I didn’t want to play this card!”
“Sister, give up. You only have two cards in your hand.”
“Damn it! Hmph, don’t be so smug. I’m just giving you two rounds because you’re young. But from now on, I’m going to be serious. I won’t lose a single time in the future. I’ll win three rounds in a row and turn the tables!”
“But Big Sister…We played two out of three!“
“Impossible! It was absolutely impossible! It’s clearly three wins out of five!”
