Chapter 234 The Curse of the Harpy Witch

Lu Ping, An Li and Hei Shou approached Yingzui Ridge. Sure enough, all the harpies flying in the sky were scattered in a wide range, and the number was too large to count, but they didn't know where the harpies were.

[Harpy]: Level 45, HP 2350, Mana 1800, Defense 180, Accuracy 200...

Anli's monster identification technique can't tell their resistance, but it probably won't be too low.

Lu Ping is only level 38, a difference of 7 levels. The difference in level is not only directly affected by statistics such as attack and defense, but also has potential impacts on hit, dodge, and crit.Monsters whose attack level is much higher than your own are not easy to hit, and it is not easy to get a crit, but it is easy to be hit by a monster and get a crit. Even with Lu Ping's strength, he was unwilling to kill a monster that was 5 levels higher than him. Not to mention the higher level 7.

"Fuck, this bastard old man, it's not difficult at all, it's killing people!" Lu Ping cursed angrily, "A harpy with such a high level can still curse people, how can she kill her!"

An Li and Black Hand couldn't help shaking their heads. This is indeed too difficult. They can't do it again in the future, and they can't stay in the highland city to upgrade. The people of Azure Temple don't welcome them.

An Li said: "There is such a big difference in levels, Black Hand and I can't help much. If Popsicle and the others are all here, it is still possible to lure a few of them out and kill them. Why don't we ask them to come?"

"No, they can't leave Harmondale, and it will take days for them to come. I can't wait that long!"

After observing for a while, Lu Ping said: "Most of the harpies are in the sky, and there is nothing strange on the ground, so I went incognito to find the harpies. I will find them first. You are waiting nearby."

The black hand immediately said: "I'll go too, I'll sneak forward and they won't be able to find it, it will be faster for two people to find it separately."

Lu Ping hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, then you have to be careful. I searched from the right side of the mountain, and you searched from the left side of the mountain. Don't go too deep. An Li circled the area with monsters in the sky. Turn around and explore this area to facilitate movement, and also pay attention to whether there are people from the Azure Temple making trouble."

"Okay!" Both of them readily accepted.

Lu Ping fell to the ground, put away the Firebird, and walked forward incognito.There is not even a tree on the ground here, only a few half-person-high withered yellow thatch, and many places are bare with nothing, which is not conducive to sneaking. Fortunately, it is already dusk and there is no direct sunlight, so it does not affect Lu Ping. very big.

The harpies are all flying in the sky, but they don't fly very high. Lu Ping is sure that they have night vision capabilities, so he didn't dare to be careless and moved forward carefully; the other side of the black hand also fell to the ground. You must have an obstruction before you dare to move forward, so walk more slowly and carefully.

After walking along the hillside for a while, Lu Ping had already penetrated into the sea of ​​harpies, but it seemed that there was not a single harpies. It is estimated that there is only one harpies. It is not a big boss but also a quasi-boss. He couldn't make a move, and all the harpies rushed over.

The last time I was hunted down by the harpies on patrol, I didn't see them casting magic. Probably because they chased too fast so they didn't stop to cast magic, and only used basic talents to attack.Now there are so many harpy witches here, once they are alarmed and rush from all directions, plus using magic attacks, they will be blasted to pieces in the blink of an eye, and the firebirds will not be able to escape no matter how fast they are.

Lu Ping had the urge to give up. The old man said that if he failed, he could change to an easier test, so it was better to just give up.But he was a little unwilling. The test was extremely difficult, and the rewards would definitely not be bad. Thinking about master-level stunts makes people's hearts beat. Others haven't had this opportunity yet!
An Li's voice sounded beside her ears: "I've almost explored this area. The range of monsters is very wide, and they are distributed around the mountain peak. I guess the harpies are above the top of the mountain."

Lu Ping said: "Probably so. I thought the Harpy Witch was a small leader and there would be several of them, but I didn't find any of them. It seems that there is only one. I can only go to the top of the mountain to see."

Mafia said: "I didn't find it here either."

Lu Pingdao: "You still don't want to go deep, it's easy to go in and hard to come out, if you are discovered, you will be finished."

"This... this will be handled by yourself, it depends on the situation."

Although Black Hand's combat power is mediocre, the thief's skills are very high. He is a super master in stealing and stealth. After joining Lu Ping's team, he has not made any great achievements. He is eager to show himself, so although Lu Ping warned him, he still went to the top of the mountain. .

Although Yingzui Ridge is high above sea level, it is not high relative to the ground, but the terrain is dangerous and difficult to walk. It took nearly half an hour for Luping to approach the top of the mountain.Looking up, his neck was sore, but he still couldn't find the harpies.Night had fallen, the sky was starless and moonless, and higher places could not be seen clearly. If the Harpy flew very high, Lu Ping would not be able to see it at all.

"Fuck, it seems that I'm so tired this time, there's no way to do this task!"

Lu Ping cursed in his heart, and decided to go to the highest protruding cliff on the top of the mountain to have a look, which is where the "Eagle Beak" is. up.

As soon as he climbed up the cliff, Lu Ping became aware that someone was staring at him. This was an intuition he had cultivated since he was a thief for a long time. He immediately scanned the front and left and right. It's not very clear, only two strange eyes are shining with a faint blue light.

Lu Ping immediately stopped all movements and held his breath...

"Young man, don't hide, I've seen you." An old, shrill female voice said.

Lu Ping was taken aback, could it be the Harpy Witch?The old man didn't say that the harpies were monsters, and it's not surprising that high-level monsters can talk!He still remained motionless, maybe the other party didn't really see him, and jumped out to be fooled.

The old female voice said again: "I'm just a poor old man who has no one to rely on. I haven't done anything bad, but because I'm ugly, I'm hunted down by those pretentious people everywhere. I hide here and don't dare to see anyone. Do you want to be like them too?"

Seeing that the other party really found him, Lu Ping had no choice but to show up and say, "I didn't come to kill you..."

Of course, what Lu Ping said wasn't the truth. If the other party wasn't a harpy witch, that's right; if the other party was a harpy witch, he couldn't just say that he was here to kill it. Only when he got close would he have a chance to make a move.

He said something casually, but the other party took it seriously, and said in an old voice: "Ah, I knew you were different from others, not the person who thought he represented light and justice, so young man, what are you doing here? ?”

How should I answer now, tell the truth or lie?Is the other party a Harpy Witch?Lu Ping's thoughts changed sharply, and he took a few steps forward, but found that he still couldn't see the speaker clearly, as if she was surrounded by a particularly dark mist.

Lu Ping slyly avoided the question and asked, "Do you need my help?"

"Hehe..." The old woman in the dark smiled strangely, "You are really different from others! Come here, I really need your help with something."

If you want something from someone, you shouldn't immediately turn your back on it, right?Lu Ping kept vigilant and walked over slowly. The distance was less than ten meters, and he finally saw the appearance of the other party: the upper body was an old woman with disheveled hair, and the lower body was a bird—the body of an eagle, the wings of an eagle, and the wings of an eagle. The claws, the body is covered with dark brown feathers, the only difference from other harpies is that its upper body is covered with a tattered black robe, covering the female features.

Harpy Witch!

Lu Ping took a deep breath. I really didn't expect the Harpy Witch to be an NPC. It seems that her intelligence and strength are not too low. I'm afraid it will be more difficult than killing a boss...

"Giggle..." The Harpy Witch smiled strangely, and flicked her long hair back, revealing an old face with round eyes, a hooked nose, and a very long chin. The skin on her face was more wrinkled than the bark of a thousand-year-old tree. Be powerful, be as ugly as you want.

Lu Ping really didn't have the courage to take a second look, so he hastily lowered his eyes. When he glanced over, he saw a name above its head: Rebecca Tiffany. I didn't expect this disgusting old witch to have a beautiful name.

Rebecca Tiffany said: "Do you think I am ugly? When I was young, I was more beautiful than any woman you have ever seen. It is because of my beauty that a wizard hated me and cursed me." It became like this.”

"Ah, so you were originally a human being?" Lu Ping was very surprised, but he didn't really believe it. The evil wolf grandma always tricked Little Sheep one after another. People who say they are good people are often not necessarily good people.

"Yes, I am indeed a human being. Ever since I was turned into such an ugly face, no one will believe me anymore. Those warriors who think they represent justice and light are always unwilling to let me go, no matter Wherever I hide, someone will catch up soon... You said just now that you are willing to help me, a poor old man?"

Where did Lu Ping want to help her?Just now, he just said something casually because he didn't understand the situation. With his keen intuition, he knew that there was another mission coming to him, and this mission could not be triggered by just anyone, so he knew it was wrong to agree, but he still couldn't help it. Said: "Uh, uh... yes, if I can help, I am willing to help."

"Ah, that's great, you are the kindest person I've ever met! I've been studying magic these years and want to lift the curse on my body, and I'm almost ready now, if you can help me find some potions , I can restore a human body."

The system prompts: "The Harpy Witch Rebecca Tiffany wants you to help her collect items, do you agree?"

Lu Ping was worried now, he was here to kill her, if he accepted the mission to help her, then the old man's mission would not be completed, and he would not be able to get special rewards.But the task of the old woman is definitely not easy to receive. It is probably a high-level hidden task, and the reward will definitely not be low.
Life is full of countless choices, and choices are always painful!
Comparing the two sides, if Amberlecht’s mission fails, he can still pick up easier ones, which will not affect the advancement of skills, and the special rewards he mentioned may not necessarily be imparting special skills; Rebecca Tiffany’s mission is the only one. There is no such shop after this village.Assuming that the task rewards given by the two are similar, to maximize the benefits, it should be to complete Rebecca Tiffany's task, and then go to Amberlecht to take the test of low difficulty.

Lu Ping quickly turned a few thoughts in his mind, nodded and agreed: "I have always been willing to help others. If you are really an old man who is being persecuted, I am willing to help you."

The system prompts that a new task has been received, and Rebecca Tiffany's face is also wrinkled immediately: "That's great, young man, as long as you help me find a bottle of youthful elixir, a bottle of eternal constitution elixir, a A bottle of Giant's Blood will do."

"What, Eternal Physique?" Lu Ping was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that what she wanted was so difficult to get. With this potion, he had already drank it by himself. How could there be any extra?The other two items have never been seen before, and it is estimated that they are not easy to get.

"Yes, Eternal Physique Potion, a holy potion that can completely change a person's physique! If you can reach the City of Paradise or the City of Abyss, you can probably buy it at the pharmacy there. I can't go there with a body like mine, so I just have to I can count on you."

Lu Ping hesitated, of course he knew that the pharmacy in Abyss City had a very small chance of buying it, and there was a higher chance of buying it in the internal store of the Wizards Guild, but the problem was that the price of a bottle was as high as [-] gold coins. This is a really sky-high price. If the reward for the task is not high enough, who will do the business at a discount?
Quickly opened the task panel and saw that the task requirements had been written in detail.

Mission Name: The Curse of the Harpy.

Mission description: Rebecca Tiffany on the top of Eagle's Mouth Ridge said that she was cursed and turned into a harpies. You need to help her find a bottle of eternity potion, a bottle of youthful potion, and a bottle of giant's blood. formula.It can be bought at the pharmacy in Celeste City or Abyss City, or there is a chance to get it by killing powerful monsters during the adventure. Her time is running out, so it needs to be done as soon as possible. Task countdown: 48 hours.

mission rewards:?
Task category: Hidden task (S-level)
Lu Ping was dizzy, the task reward was just a question mark, what if he gave something rubbish?And there is a time limit, it is impossible to wait until later, this task is basically impossible to complete... Then it is better to kill her and complete the old man's task.

Just thinking of this, Rebecca Tiffany spoke again: "Young man, I don't have much time to wait, you must hurry. I won't let you be busy in vain, and I will definitely thank you heavily. There is a space-time beacon scroll that can allow you to return here in time."

The Harpy Witch raised her hand, and a scroll slowly flew towards Lu Ping. Lu Ping caught it and saw that it was indeed a time-space beacon scroll.

Lu Ping immediately changed his mind again. The old witch was a top-notch product like the Time-Space Beacon, and she was definitely rich.With this time-space beacon, you can set up a teleportation point here, and use the time-space gate to go around the city of abyss. If you happen to have something she needs, buy it and come back immediately, and you can earn back [-]% of the money you spent.In case he couldn't buy the three items, he would look for a chance to kill her when he came back, and he would use up the time-space beacon for nothing, and he would only waste a time-space gate scroll, so the deal was a good one.

"Okay, I'll go buy it for you right away!"
