Chapter 11 Mission
"It seems like this is it."
A wolf swordsman raised a long sword and examined it carefully.
"No one else in the entire Black Forest knows how to use this kind of knife except us."
"What do you think?"
As he spoke, the wolf swordsman turned his gaze to the wolf archers and wolf captains behind him.
The wolf captain didn't speak, but the wolf archer slowly strolled to a tree.
"Spider silk?"
Following the wolf archer's gaze, the wolf swordsman noticed that the lower half of the tree resembled a normal tree, while the upper half was covered in spider silk, clearly showing signs of extensive spider activity.
"But how could spiders possibly defeat us? Even if they are poisonous, we can withstand it with our strong vitality."
"unless..........."
Extraordinary life!
These four words echoed in the minds of the three demons. According to the Great King, extraordinary life forms are equivalent to ordinary beings cultivating into demons. However, compared to them, those extraordinary life forms that cultivate spontaneously have extremely low intelligence, but correspondingly, their physical bodies are also very strong.
The three demons exchanged a glance, feeling that their guess was probably pretty accurate: the enemy that killed their kin must have been an extraordinary spider.
"What should we say? Should we report to the King first, or should we search for it ourselves?"
The wolf swordsman sought the opinions of his two kinsmen. The wolf captain remained silent, while the wolf archer pondered for a moment before speaking in an aged voice:
"The king told us not to go too deep into the forest, as the spider demon is most likely hiding there. For now, we can have a few people search the surrounding area. If we can find some clues, that would be best. If we can't find anything, it's okay. When the king returns, we can tell him about this, and then the king can decide whether or not to go into the forest to explore."
The three demons discussed it and all agreed that this method was good, so they went back and told the other lesser demons the news.

"spider?"
Lin Tian had just returned to the mountains. He sat on the animal skin throne that the little demons had made for him, listening to the news they were reporting to him.
[Ding! The task system has been updated!]
I didn't expect this to be considered a task.
The mission system was unlocked when Lin Tian returned to the mountain, or more precisely, when he saw his residence being burned down.
When the Demon King System detected that he had his first enemy, it unlocked the mission system. At the time, Lin Tian even complained, "So all those beasts I fought before weren't enemies?"
The task system is quite simple: complete system tasks to receive rewards, and its first task is:
Eliminate all hostile units in the Black Forest Village. Quest Reward: One Ecological Improvement Opportunity, [Ghost]
The first opportunity was an ecological improvement opportunity. When Lin Tian saw this, his eyes lit up. After improving the ecology of Black Wind Mountain once, he found that the consumption required for another improvement had suddenly increased. The original 100 points of spiritual energy had suddenly increased tenfold to 1000 points, and the required essence blood had also reached three.
Although 1000 points of spiritual essence was a lot, he could save up and come up with it. However, these three drops of essence blood were giving him a huge headache. It was already difficult to find beasts with extraordinary life forms, and now he needed three at once, which made him give up on the idea of ecological improvement.
But now things have taken a turn for the better, and this mission directly rewards him with an ecological upgrade, which is a pleasant surprise. However, when he turned his attention to the next reward, he was stunned.
Big head?
Lin Tian would never forget the guy who had tormented him countless times. Known as the Black Wind Mountain Security Guard, he had killed countless people with his iron palms, and Lin Tian had also suffered greatly from his palms.
However, he broke free from the painful memories in the next second. Although Big Head was torturous, he had to admit that he was actually quite good as a teammate.
Lin Tian stopped reminiscing. Thanks to his subordinate Xiao Yao's report, another task had appeared in his task list:
"Destroy the Six-Eyed Spider Cave in the Black Forest. Quest Reward: [2000 Spirit Essence]"
Is it just spiritual essence?
Looking at the mission rewards, Lin Tian felt somewhat disappointed. He then lowered the priority of completing the mission, leaving only one mission to complete at the moment.
Lin Tian stood up and looked into the distance, his gaze fixed on the direction of Black Forest Village.
"Your Majesty, what shall we do next...?"
"send troops!"
.........................
As the night passes and the sun is about to rise, the villagers of Black Forest Village usually get up and get busy at this time.
But today is different. The once Black Forest Village is now in ruins. A fire that started from nowhere has burned away the village's vitality, killing many livestock and filling the village with the smell of burning.
Fortunately, it seems that the villagers of Black Forest Village did not die in the fire; they all gathered outside the village, though they appeared somewhat stiff.
"Poor thing...so pitiful..."
Leo looked at the dilapidated scene before him, uttering sighs, but his face showed no pity.
"It's alright, little Norman, I'll find you a new place to stay."
Leo patted the head of the boy next to him, then squatted down.
"Double pupils, what a beautiful art!"
Leo stroked the boy's face while gazing at his purple eyes with a kind of fascination.
"Although I don't know why I didn't see that guy's remains, finding a pair of eyes makes my trip worthwhile."
"Come on, I'll take you to meet your advisor!"
Leo took the boy's hand and was about to leave when the boy stopped after a few steps. He stiffly turned his head and looked at the villagers who had the same color pupils as him, but whose bodies were covered in purple pustules.
"Are you still conscious?"
Leo murmured something under his breath, then raised his hand and placed it on Noel's head. A burst of purple light appeared, and Noel's eyes suddenly focused.
"Let's go, they're just a bunch of failures."
Then, Leo took Noel's hand and led him outside. This was the last time Noel saw the villagers.
After a while, the sun began to rise slowly, and its light gradually dispelled the darkness of the Black Forest Village, revealing the strangely-looking people.
Meanwhile, figures began to appear one after another on the hillside not far from the village. Initially, there were two or three people, then seven or eight, then twenty or thirty... forty or fifty... and finally...
