Chapter 2105: The Thorn Plan
Fortunately, Melo was not a stupid person. Just by hearing Lin Jiu's different names for the Dal'an Granny she knew, she roughly knew what was going on. Unexpectedly, the name of the Sage Dal'an was just a pseudonym, not his real name.
Just as Melo was still confused, the appearance of the "Dal'an Granny" in front of her changed drastically. She was originally just an old woman with a lot of temperament, but now she has become a beautiful woman.
At this time, Xierlei took off her disguise, and her face was like the horizon at dawn, gently with a faint pink, revealing a pure beauty that was not stained by dust. Her eyebrows were like distant mountains with smoke, gently outlining a touch of gracefulness, and her eyes were like autumn water.
Her lips were like ripe cherries, and the slightly upturned corners of her mouth always had a warm smile, giving people a sense of closeness. Her white hair was like a waterfall, softly hanging down to her waist, shining, and occasionally a few strands of hair danced in the wind, adding a bit of agility and elegance. There were two erect fox ears in the white hair, and a few furry fox tails fell behind, which made Lin Jiu want to reach out and rub them.
"Dal'an Sage?" Melo exclaimed.
"Call me Sage Xierlei." Xierlei smiled slightly. It was not necessary to pretend to be old, but she thought it was quite interesting. After leaving the items in the underground palace, she returned to the Cangyue Alliance to establish the Hualing lineage. After serving as a sage for a period of time, she abdicated and fell asleep to restore the power lost by the water element mark.
This sleep lasted for hundreds or thousands of years. It was not long after it was active, and it encountered the second elemental disaster. Xierlei, who did not wait for other elementalists, could only secretly purify the erosion of the Yimi Continent. Fortunately, these forces in the Yimi Continent were full of martial virtues, and there was also a four-element formation that barely maintained the elemental balance. Otherwise, relying solely on her purification of the erosion of the Yimi Continent would definitely not be able to alleviate this disaster.
Xierlei did not expect that she could still hear news about Qing. The original three-person team, she, Qing, and Ai Lu. She became a water elementalist, while Ai Lu returned to the Cang Yue Council and later took over as the leader of the Thorn Reckoners, which was equivalent to the current status of Elaite, and finally died of old age.
They also knew that Qing came from the Second Elemental Cataclysm. In the war decades ago, Xierlei also looked for Qing's figure and found some traces, but she couldn't find anyone. She thought Qing died in that war.
Qing: Thank you! Is this a teammate...
"Sage Xierlei... you are so young!?" Melo was surprised.
"Yeah, it's young, just over a thousand years old." Lin Jiu arranged in his mind. He was a little venomous, but that was for enemies and friends. For Xierlei, who was half-familiar and still needed to be used, and was considered an ally, Lin Jiu naturally wouldn't say it directly. After all, he also knew how taboo age was for a woman.
If he had said to Talide in the dream world at that time, "It's been a long time since we last met, you look much older", there is no need to think that at this moment, Talide is definitely on the way from the Shengyao Empire to hunt him down.
Lin Jiu's attention was not on the communication between Xi Lei and Melo. After he discovered Xi Lei's identity, the first ring of his main task was completed.
[Main task: The disappeared elemental agent. ]
Difficulty level: Lv.60.
Task information: The hunter needs to investigate clues and find traces of the disappeared elemental agent. Perhaps someone in the world knows about them. Find the key person and unlock the next ring of tasks.
Tip: The final link of the main task is the attribute barrier breakthrough task.
Task reward: Random passive skill scroll.
Task completion rate: 230%.
[You get a skill scroll treasure chest, randomly drawn. ]
[You get the chapter of strengthening. ]
…
The requirement of the first ring of the main task is to find the key person related to the elemental agent. They may have directly contacted the elemental agent or hold the key clues. As long as one of them is found, Lin Jiu will complete the task.
And Lin Jiu directly found a living elemental agent, and the task completion rate suddenly exploded. After receiving additional rewards of other props, Lin Jiu checked the props he received, which can strengthen weapons and equipment by 5 to 10 levels with a 100% probability.
After completing the first ring of the main task, Lin Jiu also received the second ring of the main task.
[Main task·Second ring: The Thorn Plan. ]
Difficulty level: Lv.62
Task information: The Thorn lineage among the three veins of the Dusk Jungle Cangyue Alliance has an abnormal situation. Investigate the situation of the Thorn lineage and prevent the plan from being completed.
Tip: The final part of the main task is the attribute barrier breakthrough assessment.
Task deadline: 10 days.
Task reward: Random title x1 (title level and ability depend on the process of completing the task).
Task penalty: forced execution.
...
Lin Jiu glanced at the new main task, which was related to the situation of the Thorn Reckoner. This was not surprising, but expected. Many of the situations he encountered along the way were related to the abnormality of the Thorn lineage, and it was normal for subsequent tasks to be related to it. Seeing that the punishment was "forced execution", Lin Jiu looked calm and said that it was not a big problem.
"Where is Qing?" Xi Lei mentioned Qing with a smile on her face, but Lin Jiu could tell from her eyes that if Qing appeared in front of her now, she would definitely beat him up.
"That guy fell into the Yangyan Volcano area." Lin Jiu explained briefly, and couldn't help wondering if Qing could beat Xierlei. Although Qing fought in many native worlds in the Samsara Paradise and grew rapidly, Xierlei has also lived for thousands of years as the world's child, water elementalist, and potion genius of this world. It's really hard to say.
"Haha... just let him play over there." Yangyan Volcano is now one of the demon's lairs. Xierlei naturally knows that Qing must have a hard time there, and she laughed out loud.
"By the way, as a water elementalist, you should know what happened to the other elementalists at the time, right? Are they all dead?" Lin Jiu was quite curious about this situation. After all, they were all elementalists. How come Xierlei survived until now, and what about the other elementalists? Are they all dead?
According to the legend that Qing knew at the time, the elemental guardian no longer had any trace, but left behind a secret area called the Land of Elements, in which there were four elemental crystals, forming a large formation to maintain the balance of elements for thousands of years. Judging from this situation, Xierlei must have met and cooperated with the other elementalists, otherwise the Land of Elements would not have appeared.
Before Xierlei could answer, Melo on the side exclaimed: "Elementalist! Water Elementalist!? Sage Xierlei, you are actually the legendary elementalist... I..."
Mello didn't expect that he would lead a legendary elementalist. You know, thousands of years have passed since the appearance of elementalists, and elementalists have naturally become legendary. In the disaster decades ago, Xierlei was also hiding in the dark and did not show up, and elementalists are still a legend.
"Sorry, I'm rude." After Melo was excited, he saw several eyes falling on him. She was the most excited in the whole audience, as if she had never seen the world, which made Melo a little embarrassed.
But it was true. At this time, the few people present, Lin Jiu, Gun Gun, and Xierlei were all experienced, while Xiao Yilin did not understand the meaning of elementalists. Apart from Xiao Yilin, Melo had the least experience.
