147: Seventh-level advanced mission, strange Fire God NPC!
Qin Yun quickly arrived at the Advancement Quest Hall!
"Ding, please select the Advancement Quest difficulty!"
"Death God Level!"
"Ding, you have successfully accepted the Death God Level Rank 7 Advancement Quest!"
"Quest Name: Kill the Lord of the Nether Abyss"
"Quest Difficulty: Death God Level"
"Quest Requirements: You will be teleported to the Bottomless Nether Abyss, a bottomless abyss cavern with no land, permanently filled with thick green fog. You need to find the Lord of the Nether Abyss here and kill it. Upon completing the quest, you will obtain the system-rewarded ability to fly!"
"Hint: A heroic NPC will arrive at that time to lend you a hand!"
"This quest isn't complicated at all!"
Qin Yun smiled slightly.
As long as he killed the Lord of the Nether Abyss, the quest would be complete. He could just use Infinite Devour to force it out when the time came.
As for the NPC, if it was a Divine-Grade NPC, he could see if he could subdue it. Such NPCs were like Divine-Grade beasts; the more, the better.
"Teleport!"
Hum!
He entered the quest teleportation channel.
Qin Yun instantly arrived at the Bottomless Nether Abyss, one of the nine forbidden areas of the Otherworld Beast World.
Just as the quest description stated, there was no land to land on. As soon as Qin Yun arrived, he kept falling. Thick green fog surrounded him, and the roars of terrifying beasts could be heard from time to time, as if he had arrived in the nether Hell!
Fusion!
Qin Yun immediately initiated Fusion with Golden Niu, which stopped his fall, and he stood in mid-air!
Swoosh!
A winged bird-man NPC appeared shortly after.
Seeing that Qin Yun could stand in mid-air, he was slightly surprised: "Not yet Rank 7, and not possessing a flying-type companion beast, yet able to stand in mid-air—truly impressive. And daring to accept a Death God Level Advancement Quest, it seems you are also a Divine-Grade Beast Tamer!"
Seeing the NPC appear, Qin Yun guessed that this might be the heroic NPC mentioned in the quest hint!
"Name: NPC Loz (Mythic-level)"
"Identity: Moxiga Human Race Fire God Child, Quest Guide NPC"
"Race: Moxiga Human Race"
"Rank: Rank 7 LV210"
"Talent: Fire God Feather Heart"
"Companion Beast Skill: Heavenly Flame Shining Sun (Mythic-level)"
"Respected Human Race warrior, I am the Quest Guide NPC. I will guide you to find the Lord of the Nether Abyss and assist you in defeating it!"
NPC Loz had a humanoid appearance, but his feet were bird claws, he had no arms, only a pair of wings, and his forehead bore a special sun god pattern. His feathers were fire-red, and his eyebrows were like burning flames; he was clearly an NPC born with mastery over fire-attribute abilities!
Qin Yun narrowed his eyes, already considering how to subdue this Divine-Grade NPC!
"Do you want to leave this place?"
Faced with Qin Yun's sudden question, NPC Loz's expression immediately turned cold and stern.
He was a Divine-Grade NPC, and the next Fire God Child; he had his own pride. How could he be subdued by a newly ascended Human Race Beast Tamer?
Although the other party was a Divine-grade Genius, such geniuses had appeared before, but without exception, they all died under the sharp jaws of the Lord of the Nether Abyss.
"Sorry! You are not yet qualified to take me away from here!"
NPC Loz's reply made Qin Yun chuckle.
He did not speak again, because only by letting the other party see his true strength would it be possible to get the other party to follow him, just like General Manager Mei and the others.
Just as Qin Yun was preparing to activate Infinite Devour to conduct an indiscriminate attack on this Nether Abyss map and lure out the Lord of the Nether Abyss, NPC Loz spoke up to remind him: "The Bottomless Nether Abyss is different from other maps. There are countless dimensional spaces here, meaning there are countless maps, and the true form of the Lord of the Nether Abyss is hidden within one of them!"
"This!!!"
Qin Yun frowned slightly.
If that was the case, then Infinite Devour would not be able to force out the Lord of the Nether Abyss, because Infinite Devour could only act on one map.
It seemed this quest was not as simple as it appeared on the surface.
"Golden Niu, does this Bottomless Nether Abyss map really have that many dimensional spaces?"
"Replying to Master, yes. This map is different from other maps; it is not one independent large map, but a special map composed of countless maps. Additionally, this map is surrounded by special divine power above Rank 10, so I cannot perceive the secrets here."
"Oh? These forbidden area maps are truly getting stranger one by one!"
Qin Yun didn't overthink it. Anyway, by following the quest guidance, he could still complete a mere Rank 7 Death God Level Advancement Quest without pressure!
"According to the intelligence mastered by my clan's ancestors, the Lord of the Nether Abyss has a total of 9 hiding maps, but only one is the true form; the others are all fake forms. Moreover, every once in a while, the Lord of the Nether Abyss will swap maps with one of the fake forms."
"And do not underestimate these fake forms; its fake forms also possess Rank 7 God-level BOSS strength, and there are many Nether Abyss beasts guarding them!"
NPC Loz informed Qin Yun of the information he knew.
Hearing this, Qin Yun asked: "Then do you know which map the true form of the Lord of the Nether Abyss is currently in?"
"I do not know; we need to try them one by one. My talent has an active effect called 'Fiery Eyes of Truth'; by getting close to the Lord of the Nether Abyss, I can confirm whether the target is the true form or a fake form!"
"The reason my Moxiga Human Race chose to serve as NPCs in this map is so that one day we could see the Lord of the Nether Abyss die with our own eyes, to avenge the blood feud of our clan being annihilated by it!"
Flames rose in NPC Loz's eyes. It was clear that he had been waiting for a Beast Tamer who could kill the Lord of the Nether Abyss, which was why he was so dedicated and responsible as a guide NPC!
"I will only make a move to assist you once we find the true form of the Lord of the Nether Abyss, but if it is a fake form, I will not make a move!"
"Remember, you must follow me closely; otherwise, if you accidentally enter other dimensional spaces, you may face a True God beast directly and die instantly!"
NPC Loz declared in advance.
"No problem! Just lead the way. Whether it's the true form or a fake form, I will kill them all instantly!!"
"..."
"Heh! Don't speak too soon. It's not that there haven't been Divine-grade Genius Beast Tamers who came to do this Advancement Quest before, but without exception, they all failed!"
Qin Yun smiled without saying a word. There was no point in saying more; after letting him see his strength later, he would be able to shock him until he was completely awestruck!
Along the way.
Qin Yun saw many dimensional channels hidden in the fog, and all these dimensional channels were blocked by a layer of rule-based Seal.
Many powerful Divine-Grade beasts poked their heads out to roar, but no matter what, they could not break through the Seal.
These Nether Abyss beasts were different from the beasts he had seen before; their eyes were emitting nether ghost fire, and they had green faces and fangs, looking more like vengeful ghosts!
"These sealed Nether Abyss beasts can only move within a certain range of the dimensional channel. As long as you don't get close, there won't be any problems."
NPC Loz introduced the situation here to Qin Yun along the way: "We are almost there! Ahead is one of the places where the Lord of the Nether Abyss hides!"
Qin Yun noticed that a dimensional channel ahead was different; the power of the Seal seemed even stronger!
Just after Qin Yun and NPC Loz entered this dimensional channel together, the figure of a Nether Abyss beast suddenly emerged from the fog. The nether ghost fire in the eyes of its three heads revealed a complex expression.
"Hiss!!!"
