Sorry, But I Never Rely On Luck When Playing Cards

Chapter 685: Chapter 243: Who Would Be Afraid of Things with a Health Bar

"There really is a mission!"

This discovery made Ree Shil’s eyes light up.

However, he knew that the real mission hadn’t started yet because the system hadn’t prompted the official mission acceptance choice.

So, the NPC would introduce the mission next.

After listening to the mission, he could decide whether to accept it or not.

Because Before, he had looked up that in this Instance, only one mission could be accepted at a time, and missions couldn’t be abandoned.

If the mission’s difficulty was too high and couldn’t be completed, then there seemed to be no need to accept it.

At this time, the NPC’s voice rang in his ear once more.

[I was a person almost about to die]

[I came to this place seeking the Path to immortality]

[However, in this world, there are gains and losses]

[When I found what I sought, I paid a price that could never be undone]

[It turns out the cost of the Path to immortality is to be trapped within this Ant’s Den]

[I really regret it now]

Even though the other party spoke somewhat awkwardly, Ree Shil still understood.

It seemed that this mission was probably to help the other party break free.

It definitely couldn’t be that he had been locked up for too long and wanted him to dance for entertainment, right?

"What can I do to help you?"

So he asked.

[Living like this is worse than a swift end]

[I want you to help me break this Path to immortality]

[Blessing is both a blessing and shackles]

[Break the barrier, and the Path to immortality will be broken as well]

"Then how can I break the barrier?"

Ree Shil asked.

It seemed that the mission was not to help the NPC escape as he had thought, but to help the NPC let go.

[We cannot act within the barrier; we need external force to break it]

[But this barrier is extraordinary, not easily broken]

[You... go find my sword]

In the barrier, the Sword Elder slowly raised his withered and dry arm.

He saw his palm turn upward, his gaze fixed.

Shoo!

A longsword constructed from red light appeared.

No, upon closer inspection, Ree Shil found that it was just a sword scabbard, not a complete sword.

[My sword has been lost in the city]

[Find the sword, and I can respond to it and break the barrier from outside]

It seemed that Sword Elder wasn’t planning to say much about the reason and process of the sword’s loss.

"Where is your sword and what does it look like?"

At these words, Ree Shil frowned.

Because the sword scabbard looked like it had no substance, making it difficult for him to determine what the original body of the sword looked like.

[What does the sword look like...]

[I’ve forgotten]

[In any case, it’s definitely in the city. You just look for it]

"?"

Upon hearing this, Ree Shil’s head grew bigger.

As expected, this mission was unreliable!

Finding a needle in a haystack, this was absolutely a part of it!

However, at this point, Sword Elder stopped talking.

[Accept/decline Sword Elder’s mission]

[Mission: Help the other party break the barrier]

"..."

Silence, Ree Shil stared at this mission information for a while.

He had become clever now, and he wouldn’t be fooled by the system’s introductions every time.

The mission clearly stated "break the barrier," but it didn’t say "seek the sword."

That meant the ultimate goal was not to find the sword to break the barrier but to break the barrier and let Sword Elder out of it.

Ree Shil honestly didn’t want to give up on this mission.

Because if he completed the mission, not only would he get 1 more card draw chance, but this NPC would also join the card pool.

Then wouldn’t that be a sure win for him?

He had a feeling that the guy was of high quality and might be a good-use Sword Card.

So, should he take this mission or not?

His only concern was that if he accepted the mission and couldn’t complete it, it would occupy the mission quota.

Would he miss the opportunity when encountering other NPCs later on?

Thus, Ree Shil did not immediately accept the mission but decided to do some testing.

Shadow Loss’s strength wasn’t great, just about the same as an ordinary adult.

He casually picked up a rotten wooden stick from the ground and struck it hard against the ancient city wall.

Bang!

The rotten stick’s head bloomed and became even more rotten.

But there was no trace on the city wall.

"There’s something wrong with this city wall."

Reaching out his hand to touch it, he reacted.

This thing seemed to be an Air Wall.

Originally, he had wanted to try dismantling the wall and digging a hole to take out the barrier, possibly having a 0.1% chance of helping the other party escape.

Unfortunately, it seemed that this was not realistic now.

Changing the angle, he used the wooden stick to strike the barrier this time.

Clang! ƒreewebɳovel.com

The sound effect was different.

[A futile attempt]

[This barrier cannot be broken by ordinary strength]

Sword Elder half-opened one eye.

"There’s potential."

But what Ree Shil saw was different information.

Just now, when he used the stick to strike hard, the barrier’s health bar momentarily appeared!

Then, just as suddenly, it vanished.

The health bar that appeared out of thin air was too eye-catching, so it definitely wasn’t something he saw wrong or was an illusion.

In the following days, he made several more attempts, confirming the situation.

This thing really had a health bar.

However, it seemed to possess a healing ability that could not be broken by the wooden stick’s DPS alone.

So that’s why the health bar would disappear in an instant, probably because the health was full.

"In that case, it’s easy to solve."

"Who’s afraid of things with health bars?"

Rubbing his hands together, Ree Shil finally relaxed, preparing to accept the mission.

"Huh? I didn’t expect to find another player here too."

However, just then, a voice suddenly sounded from behind him.

[Confirm mission acceptance!]
