Chapter 14: Doesn't seem to be many normal ones

"..."

Mission?

What is that?

Luo Yan thought about it seriously for a while, and really didn't remember that he had that kind of setting.

But looking at the player's immersed appearance, he just assumed it was the case.

It also saved him from explaining.

Clearing his throat, facing the skeleton soldier full of expectation, Luo Yan pinched his throat and opened his mouth with a majestic voice.

"Very good... since you have already realized your mission, it saves me from making redundant explanations."

According to the routine of general RPG games, the next step is to release tasks.

emmm...

What should I let this guy do?

Luo Yan looked around, and finally his gaze suddenly fell on the entrance of the underground labyrinth.

"That is the labyrinth of the old Demon King, and those wandering inside are all traitors of Hell. You go down and take a look, if you find any situation inside, come back and tell me. If anyone attacks you, don't be polite to them, beat them back fiercely!"

Traitors of Hell?!

This is triggering the main quest!

"As you command! Demon King!"

A Leaf Knows Autumn's eyes lit up, and he responded full of energy, then trotted toward the entrance of the labyrinth.

Some players noticed his actions and followed curiously. There were also some players who focused their eyes on Luo Yan, looking at this man full of boss aura with glowing eyes.

This is the novice guidance NPC, right?

Should have said so earlier!

It wasted their precious opening time, doing nothing for so long!

Sending away a certain overly enthusiastic little player, Luo Yan was about to confirm the status of the Demon King territory core, and by the way, see if there were any new tasks, but found that a large wave of skeleton soldiers followed suit and surrounded him.

Before he could speak, the noisy creaking and cracking filled him.

"Task! Didi! skip! Hurry up!"

"Respected Demon King, I am your most, most, most intelligent servant! Please grant me a task as well, so I may share your worries!"

"Look at me too, Demon King! I am your most ferocious henchman! Just leave that female hero to me to train!"

"Don't believe him, Demon King! This guy is a total scam!"

"I am your long-lost older brother!"

"Succubus!! I want a succubus!!"

Luo Yan: "..."

What the hell?

Watching this group of guys getting more and more excited, Luo Yan took a deep breath and shouted sharply.

"Quiet! All quiet!"

While making the sound, he decisively activated the authority power, instantly freezing the little skeletons one by one in place.

They were like machines turned off, maintaining the posture of the previous second, standing there motionless.

Although the Disaster System didn't give Luo Yan the "freeze" function, these players were after all skeleton soldiers he summoned using the Demon King territory core.

As a Demon King whose soul is tied to the core, his authority in this domain is absolute.

No one can question it!

The mine cave finally quieted down.

Facing a group of monkey-like guys, Luo Yan continued to speak with a loud voice.

"As you can see, I am the Demon King here, and also your lord."

"The land under your feet, extending to the entrance of the mine cave, is our Demon King territory... actually its area would have been larger, but the previous Demon King was a recognized fool. That guy not only messed up everything, but also left a huge mess, so much so that now we have to start from scratch."

"Our medium-term goal is to establish a permanent base in the hinterland of the human world, and our long-term goal is to spread the faith of Hell to the surface with our base as the center!"

"As for now, we... we must first pick up weapons and fight! Take back this mine cave and labyrinth that belong to us from the hands of that group of dirty rats!"

Just when he was halfway through speaking, Luo Yan had already noticed those pairs of scarlet pupils in the distance, staring at him covetously.

Actually, just when he stepped into this area, Luo Yan noticed... this mine mountain named Beifeng had already become the territory of Rat-men.

Maybe they were the minions of the former Demon King, maybe they spread from somewhere else... no matter which situation it was, it didn't matter.

Since they pointed their weapons at his Demon King, they must have been prepared to die.

After finishing the opening remarks, Luo Yan released the authority that froze the crazy pig skeletons, and pointed to the group of rats hiding in the shadows.

"Go—"

"Use mine picks to smash their heads! Grab their weapons!"

"Whoever picks it up gets it!"

He was still a bit worried that these players wouldn't listen to him and leave him embarrassed in place.

But now looking at it, he was still too conservative.

This group of energetic players was even more obedient than he imagined, and as soon as they recovered their actions, they picked up the mine picks in their hands and rushed toward the group of rats hiding in the shadows.

"Ooooooo!"

"Task! Task!"

"Don't grab with me! Let me come!"

"Long live the Demon King!!!"

"..."

Task?

Not just one player shouted this, Luo Yan couldn't help but feel a bit strange.

Could it be that these players could also receive tasks released by the Disaster System like himself?

It's reasonable for players to receive tasks from NPCs, it's just that he wanted to figure out the mechanism of task release.

Also—

He wasn't prepared for the rewards for these players, if he had to pay money when the time came, it would be a joke.

Just when Luo Yan was pondering, dozens of skeletons formed a large army and killed their way to the front of those dozen or so slave rats.

And the skeleton sea that filled the whole mine cave successfully scared those Rat-men half to death.

No need for any fancy techniques at all.

The skeletons in the front row just swung their mine picks and greeted the bodies of those few big rats, don't say those Rat-men's shields were made of dismantled door panels, even if they were made of iron, they couldn't withstand such a rotation!

After all, these Rat-men were originally just cannon fodder in the labyrinth, usually relying on quantity advantage to bully rookies.

And this time, they happened to run into a group of rookies who were in groups, rookies who locked morale, rookies who were like a sea of people...

Just in an instant, they were stunned by this quantity that was not inferior to them!

"Squeak—!!!"

Finally, a Rat-man couldn't stand the fear in its heart and turned to run into the darkness.

Then, more and more Rat-men ran away... this group of experienced cannon fodder was actually scattered by the rookies who were fighting for the first time.

"Don't run!"

"Stand still!"

"Experience! My experience!"

Watching the walking experience packs run away, the players rushing in the front immediately chased after them.

The undead come with night vision and living creature aura sensing.

Even if they left the area illuminated by torches, they could still act like nothing happened.

But there were also some players who stopped their steps, not daring to chase deeper into the mine cave.

After all, there are brave brothers, naturally there are cowardly ones.

Many of them were seeing half-person-high rats for the first time.

Even if the game program weakened the horror of these monsters, they needed to spend some time to overcome it.

"Too, too scary... how can there be such fat rats?!" Holding a skeleton head and squatting in the corner, Little Late Can't Eat Full was nervous and trembling.

If it were Goblins or Dragons, she might not be afraid.

But rats...

This game is too niche!!!

Soon a troublemaker noticed her, dragging the tail of a big rat that hadn't died yet and walked over with a grinning face.

"Brother, do you want experience? There is still one here that hasn't stopped breathing—"

"Go to hell!!!"

"..."

"Not bad, so-so, can give it 80 points... full score 120."

Luo Yan was quite satisfied with the quality of this wave of players, and also remembered a few IDs that were quite special—or rather, against the sky.

Although these skeletons looked the same, when his gaze focused on them, he could see the nicknames on their heads, and staring longer could reveal the attribute panel with blood bars.

Don't know what the perspective in the players' eyes looked like.

Would they be able to see his blood bar too.

The first day was a running-in period, Luo Yan didn't intend to arrange too many tasks for the players, but handed the initiative to them, letting them explore the Beifeng Mine and the underground labyrinth freely.

After all, firstly, he didn't know enough about the abilities and temperaments of these players, and secondly, the functions of this Disaster System still needed him to explore further.

In short, he had to observe and observe again.

Watching skeleton soldiers go to strip Chris's pants, Luo Yan was originally too lazy to care, but out of consideration for public decency, he shouted.

"Enough! This group of guys are my prisoners! If you want prisoners, go catch them yourself!"

That skeleton soldier named 【Knowledge Explodes】 jumped away with a swoosh, seeing pairs of gazes looking over, hurriedly explained with waving hands.

"I I I just wanted to—"

"【Pig-headed Knight】 hooked his shoulder with a grinning face, "I understand you, little brother!"

"Equipment! I'm talking about equipment!!!"

"Alright alright, those who understand understand, while this NPC is not here, we..."

Luo Yan: "..."

Old man can understand Chinese!

Forget it.

Luo Yan was too lazy to explain to them, and directly added two rules to the server rules, preventing these players from making his prisoners disappear.

Only living people can contribute faith power, most Demon Kings who can catch living ones generally won't kill people, as for being trained to be worse than dead, that's another topic.

In short, these few prisoners were still of some use to him.

"Need to get a cage to lock them up."

Try Steel-tier magic.

Luo Yan took out a thin and long magic wand and waved a dark yellow light toward the wall not far away.

"Stone Prison!"

The earth trembled slightly, and stone pillars as thick as thighs rose from the ground, intersecting each other, forming a cage against the wall, locking the few adventurers who had been disarmed.

Although he is a Necromancer, he is not only good at necromancy magic, but also quite good at Earth-system magic, a close relative of the undead system.

Besides the Stone Prison, Luo Yan also set up some Bronze-tier magic circles around as traps to ensure that these few prisoners wouldn't break out of prison.

There is also the Demon King territory core.

Although this thing wouldn't be broken by a few skeleton soldiers, in order to prevent some players from having itchy hands, he still added a few rules for automatically kicking offline through the system, and deployed some defensive magic circles around that statue.

How to protect the core of the Demon King territory can also be considered a compulsory course at the Demon King Academy.

After doing these things, Luo Yan clapped his hands, and then looked at the stone prison on the side with a sense of accomplishment, looking at the "Gray Dog" who was watching him with terrified eyes.

This guy was the only person awake.

And witnessed his "ascension" throughout the whole process.

Appreciating that timid expression, Luo Yan smiled slightly and said in a threatening tone.

"If I were you, I wouldn't try to escape from here. Death is a small matter, becoming undead is not good... am I right?"

The thin man nodded nervously, almost swearing by Saint Xisi's name.

Luo Yan didn't bother with him anymore, just gave him a meaningful look, then picked up the torch on the ground and walked straight out of this gloomy mine cave.

Although he is a Necromancer, he doesn't intend to spend the night in a graveyard.

Especially since this mine cave is not just undead, but also wandering with a large number of monsters.

Moreover, there is an abandoned hotel at the entrance of the mine cave.

Although that building looked like it had been abandoned for many years, it looked like a haunted house from the outside, but Luo Yan didn't care.

The dormitory in the Demon King Academy was much more terrifying than this thing.

Not to mention the man-eating flowers and lava fountains.

Sometimes when washing your face in the washroom, finding a woman with disheveled hair standing in the mirror is just a basic operation.

Finding a room that didn't leak wind, Luo Yan threw his suitcase by the bed, took out his magic wand and chanted a few spells for early warning and defense, and then lay on the hard wooden bed.

Let's deal with it for one night today.

Flying to this ghost place across several time zones, he was exhausted by the evening, and finally could sleep.

However, just when Luo Yan was about to sleep, the corner of his eye suddenly caught a white shadow flashing in the mirror beside him.

A creepy feeling instantly rushed to his forehead, Luo Yan jumped up from the bed with a roll, holding his magic wand.

"Who! Come out!" ===== CHAPTER 15 =====
