Chapter 759 Dark Elf
What made Yun Xiaohan even more hesitant was that the branch mission could not be abandoned halfway.

In the main task, Yun Xiaohan has the opportunity to give up halfway. For example, the system prompted once in the miner's lounge in front, and it reminded again here, but obviously there will be no such opportunity in the branch task. One must If the road goes dark, it may even be impossible to return to the ground without completing the branch tasks, which is very troublesome.

What's more terrible is that once the branch task fails, it is very likely to cause the failure of the main task, and it will drop a whole level. The side effects are too great and the consequences are too serious.

Yun Xiaohan is now at level 45 with 19.9% ​​experience, and Yixiaozui, who is second on the level list, is at level 43 with 76.7%. The gap opened, among which the [Thunderclaw Blade] strengthened by the cyan young dragon's tooth played a key role.

Although Yun Xiaohan still has 44% ​​of experience at level 19.9 even after losing one level, and he still won't lose the first place in the level list, but the gap has narrowed a lot at once.

What's more, the divergent route clearly stated that the branch missions are more suitable for players with dark vision and stealth abilities, and the possible benefits of the missions are also more inclined to agile players.Yun Xiaohan has neither stealth ability nor dark vision, and he has never learned the agility attribute growth skill. No matter how you look at it, he is not thankful for his efforts, and the possibility of completing the task is not high.

It stands to reason that Yun Xiaohan should decisively choose the divergent route [-], but Yun Xiaohan is really unwilling to give up the divergent route [-], which is obviously a hidden mission.

There are three main reasons why Yun Xiaohan wanted to choose the divergent route [-]:
First, the difficulty and reward of the tasks in "Choice" are often directly proportional. The more difficult the task, the richer the rewards. There are very few tasks that are not thankful, even if you can't get rewards in the current task. You can also get certain benefits in follow-up missions or extended missions.

So Yun Xiaohan felt that even if the possible benefits from the mission were not suitable for him, he might get compensation from other places.

Moreover, the difficulty of the main task can give Yun Xiaohan so many benefits, and the branch tasks with higher difficulty will obviously have more generous rewards. If he really wants to give up, Yun Xiaohan may have to scratch his heart and lungs for a long time.

Second, what Yun Xiaohan is most worried about is not the downgrade, but the failure of the branch task will lead to the failure of the main task.It doesn't matter if the lead in level has become smaller, as long as his strength is still there, he can still widen the gap again. Although there is an impact, it will not be great.But if the main task fails, Mithril and Mica will have nothing to do with him at all, and there will be no follow-up tasks to do, and this loss will be huge.

But after careful consideration, Yun Xiaohan felt that the possibility of failing the main task due to the failure of the branch task was extremely small.The reason is simple, and that is reasoning about subsequent tasks.

The main task is to return to the ground and tell the news of the silver mine to those who are qualified to compete for the new vein.If it is another Snowman City player, it is natural to report to the Lord of Snowman City—Balgruf, let him fight, and share part of the benefits later.Yun Xiaohan must report to his lord, Liya, and ask her to compete for the ownership or mining rights of the new vein.

If Yun Xiaohan did not get Tina as an adjutant, then the failure of his branch mission would probably lead to the failure of the main mission, but now that Tina exists, and the news of the new mine vein has been passed to Liya through Tina, then there is no such thing as If there is a problem that the news cannot be transmitted due to his death, the main mission will naturally not fail.

In this way, Yun Xiaohan's worries about the future are much smaller.

Third, "Choice" deliberately misleads or intimidates players who are performing tasks by prompting "correct information" in many task designs.The higher the difficulty, the rarer the task, the more this is the case. This is not only to control the number of people participating in the task, but also to increase the difficulty and increase the gameplay, or it is purely a bad taste of the task designer.

Yun Xiaohan felt that this divergent route choice was likely to be the case, and the prompt given in the miners' lounge in front of him was likely to be the same situation. If he had chosen to return to the ground at that time, it would have been impossible to trigger this divergent choice.

Therefore, after much deliberation, Yun Xiaohan still decided to choose the second divergent route.

After Yun Xiaohan confirmed his choice, the new task was displayed in the task panel.

The first stage of the hidden branch mission - "Ghost Shadow" Exploration: Go deep into the ground through the hole and reveal the secret of Ghost Shadow.

Yun Xiaohan drilled into the hole and walked down the simple "ladder" made of moss, stones and mud.As he walked, Yun Xiaohan suddenly found a small amount of blood spots on the gray-green moss. He didn't know whether it was reflected by the color of the moss, or because the brightness was not enough. The scattered blood spots were not bright red, but red. dark red.

These blood spots are obviously dripping just now, they haven't solidified yet, and haven't seeped into the moss, it's very likely that they were left by the black-robed man who was repelled by Yun Xiaohan just now.

Under normal circumstances, monsters with the bloody shielding setting turned on will not bleed, at least they will not be seen by players, but now it is obviously in the mission, the man in black can be regarded as being severely injured by Yun Xiaohan, and the flow It's normal to have some blood, but the color of the blood doesn't look human.

Yun Xiaohan hurriedly speeded up, since the man in black robe was injured, he couldn't run too fast, Yun Xiaohan could catch up with him by running fast, and see what he was.

It is not easy to go down the simple "ladder" quickly, because it is not a staircase in the true sense, there are not many places to stay, and many moss are not strong enough to bear the weight of Yun Xiaohan at all, and even some mud Not even one piece will work, so Yun Xiaohan has to find the stone part of the ladder to settle down.

In this way, Yun Xiaohan had to choose the movement route, and he had to use the mouse and the left and right keys to continuously adjust to speed up.

Yun Xiaohan learned the piano when he was a child, and his reaction talent was particularly outstanding. After adapting, he quickly became better and better. After running up the stairs for more than 3 minutes, he finally saw the figure of the man in black.

Because this place is already very deep underground, and the light provided by the torches is seriously insufficient, Yun Xiaohan's visual range has been greatly restricted. Under normal circumstances, Yun Xiaohan's extra-large +4 physique can see 200 yards away. Now he could only see about 50 yards away. (Vision is not affected by changing physique)
In addition, because Yun Xiaohan does not have dark vision or low-light vision, the negative BUFF of hit reduction has increased again, from the original 20% reduction to 30%, and it is estimated that it may be possible after Yun Xiaohan reaches the bottom of the stairs keep going down.
