Shock! The powerful wild map boss is actually an NPC who can communicate? This unexpected discovery made Lin Mu and Yufeng Chasing Dream overjoyed.

On such a remote map with such a high risk factor, what does it mean to meet an NPC who can talk to each other?

Of course it\'s a hidden mission!

And hidden tasks often mean a lot of rich rewards.

It takes a long time to beat the boss, and this octopus has such a strong defense, whether it can be beaten is a problem. If it is robbed halfway, it will even vomit blood!

So in such a dangerous map, it is better to do hidden missions.

However, Lin Mu didn\'t rush to make a sound, because he also felt that the octopus in the giant ship seemed to be very happy, and the tentacles wrapped around them swayed randomly.

If it weren\'t for the deformed state, they would probably have died.

He didn\'t know what the character of this octopus monster was, so he didn\'t open his mouth easily, ready to wait for it to calm down a bit before trying it out.

This is also one of the charms of Starry Age. In this game, it is almost difficult to encounter an NPC with a completely different personality, and even the modeling is not exactly the same.

Even twins or multiple births, if you look closely, you can find very subtle differences.

After nearly two years of exploration, there are no longer players who are as reckless as when the server was first launched, and they will be more cautious when facing NPCs.

Many players with a strong sense of substitution will also regard NPCs as real individuals with life, and regard them as their friends.

A very vivid example of this is probably the grumpy little rabbit.

Thinking of the child who was almost full of lucky attributes, Lin Mu couldn\'t help shaking his head. Envy must be envy, but Little Rabbit also has admirable qualities and abilities.

Now Little Rabbit has taken on the work of guarding the mermaid cubs. Every day, by posting pictures of the little mermaid, I can attract a large number of traffic. I don\'t know how many people are envious...

Soon, Lin Mu drew his attention back to the huge octopus in front of him.

After an unknown time, the dancing octopus finally regained a sense of reason, and communicated with Lin Mu and the others again, but there was still joy in his voice.

"Oh, I haven\'t met a life that I can communicate with for a long time, so I\'m a little lost, I\'m sorry~" Although he said an apology, his tone and voice were floating, and it could be heard that he was really lonely For a long time.

Lin Mu also knew that interstellar beasts were different from Ai Xuexing\'s native creatures, so it was difficult to give birth to wisdom, and it was almost impossible to communicate.

Therefore, the octopus monster in front of him should be an ancient beast native to Ai Xuexing.

The number of ancient beasts is rare, and he has heard from the sea elves that it is difficult for marine creatures to develop their wisdom, so it is really difficult for this octopus monster to survive in such a big trench and to meet creatures that can speak.

but……

"Senior Octopus, can you let us go first?" Lin Mu asked cautiously.

Although the form of the dagger is not easy to die, it will also lose blood if it is held like this, and his physical strength consumption rate seems to have increased.

When his physical strength bottoms out, he has to change back into a human form and drink the medicine to replenish it.

However, the octopus monster who seemed to talk well just now was not as he wished.

"No, no, you will run away later, and I have no one to talk to."

The voice of the octopus monster is very young, like a teenager, and this sloppy boy is also very similar.

Lin Mu can only coax: "It is very difficult for us to maintain our deformed state when you are holding us like this. Once we restore our original body, we may die in this deep sea all of a sudden."

What he said was also true, although he was not afraid of death.

However, the octopus monster is obviously very scared, but he is also a little worried: "Then I will let you go, don\'t you run away, okay? I won\'t hurt you."

Apparently it also has self-knowledge, knowing what it looks like in the eyes of humans.

"Well, don\'t worry, we will never run." Lin Mu promised.

Such a big hidden mission is here, only fools run!

The octopus hesitated for a moment, then tempted: "Do you like pearls? If you stay and talk to me, I will give you lots and lots of pearls."

When its voice fell, Lin Mu and Yufeng Chasing Dream received a system prompt at the same time - the task is really coming!

They happily accepted the task, and finally persuaded the octopus to let them go.

After seeing the release, the two humans really did not leave, and the octopus laughed happily again and made a sound of "hohohoho".

Then a large shell stuffed with pearls was wrapped around a tentacle and rolled out.

Lin Mu and Yufeng Chasing Meng\'s eyes lit up, no, they don\'t have eyes now.

The two put the pearl away, but did not immediately release the deformed state. In the face of such a large octopus, they felt that they should be cautious.

Seeing the pearl shells disappearing out of thin air, the octopus monster felt strange, and just asked, "Tell me about it, how is the outside now?"

Lin Mu\'s heart moved, "Have you not been out for many years?"

"Yeah, it\'s too dangerous outside, I wouldn\'t dare to go out before I became an adult."

"..."

Lin Mu and Yufeng Chasing Meng looked at the octopus monster that should be the size of a giant ship, and couldn\'t help but complain.

Such a big one, dare to be immature?

If you are an adult, how big is that?

"I take the liberty to ask, how old are you this year?" Yufeng Chaimeng asked curiously.

"I\'m only over one hundred and twenty years old, and I\'m still growing up~" The octopus monster\'s voice sounded very young indeed.

However, Yufeng Chasing Dream still couldn\'t help but slandered, is it trying to say that it is still a baby?

"Did you stay here since you were born?" Lin Mu asked, but judging from the Octopus Monster\'s question, it shouldn\'t be.

Sure enough, the octopus replied: "No, no, I sank here with the sailing ship. At that time, I was only the size of a palm."

Probably no one spoke for too long, and the octopus opened the chatterbox and rambled about its experience.

It is actually a pet raised by a powerful elementalist. Following this elementalist on the sea, the life at that time was not to mention very comfortable.

As a result, one day, the disaster happened without warning.

"There are whirlpools everywhere in the sea, and there are many sea beasts that have never been seen before running out of the whirlpool..."

"The master\'s magic suddenly failed, he couldn\'t even drive the magic ship, and finally he had to abandon the ship and leave..."

"It was so chaotic at the time, he didn\'t have time to take me away... When I woke up, the sailing ship had sunk in this big ditch..."

Speaking of this, the octopus monster suddenly became excited.

"You don\'t know how terrifying the trench was at that time! There were dense sea beasts everywhere. If I ran out, I would definitely be torn to shreds!"

"Fortunately, there is the sailing ship to protect me and let me spend the most painful first few years..."

After that, the little octopus hid in the sunken ship, and has been relying on trapping sea beasts for food, and slowly survived.

And then accidentally, from a little cutie the size of a slap, to the current... um, cutie.

Listening to the octopus monster talking to itself, Lin Mu and Yufeng Chasing Meng quickly learned about its background, and felt that the NPC of this hidden mission was too kind, and even took the initiative to explain the information.

After it finished speaking, Lin Mu asked, "Wouldn\'t it be hard for you to be the only one staying here for so many years?"

"Wow, it\'s so painful!"

The octopus actually whimpered, "I was able to contact the master at first, and he told me to stay in the boat and not run around until he came back to find me."

"But he didn\'t come in the end?"

"Yeah, he\'s dead."

Lin Mu originally thought this would be a love-hate plot, but he didn\'t expect it to be such a tragedy.

"My condolences," he could only say.

The octopus sighed, "It doesn\'t matter, the contract has been released anyway, and I\'m free."

contract? Lin Mu couldn\'t help but think, if he could contract such an octopus monster, then...

At this time, the octopus monster said excitedly: "By the way, do you know the tree of the sea?"

"The tree of the sea? Do you mean the tree from the sea elves?"

"Yes, yes, you have her breath on you!"

Lin Mu glanced at the "Blessing of the Sea Elf" buff in his status bar. Wouldn\'t the breath it said refer to this?

Originally this buff can still be used like this?

"That\'s right, we came from the sea elves and are helping the sea elves to clear the sea beasts around the clan."

The octopus monster couldn\'t help but let out a wow, and then suddenly said: "No wonder I found that the outside of the trench has been quiet a lot recently, and those alien beasts seem to be a lot less."

"Yeah, we killed them all."

The octopus thought for a while and asked, "Then can you take me to the sea elf?"

Lin Mu\'s heart moved, he brought back such a big octopus monster? That\'s a ticking time bomb!

Although, players are not afraid of it.

Can you even do sashimi?

The octopus monster suddenly felt a chill.

At this time, Lin Mu pretended to be embarrassed again and said, "Although it is a bit offensive to say this, the sea elves are relatively fragile now, and your strength is so strong..."

"I\'m sorry, but I don\'t think the sea elf will be able to grant you this request."

Hearing that he was refusing, the octopus monster couldn\'t help worrying, "I won\'t hurt the sea elves, I just want to see the tree of the sea, and then someone will talk to me!"

It has not been to the sea elf land, but there is a bit of relevant information in the inheritance memory, which makes it particularly yearn for that place.

"I have no evidence, I need some specific protection."

"Assure?"

"Yes, is there any way to restrain and protect us all?"

"Binding and protection... um, contract?"

Hearing this, Lin Mu showed a smile in his heart, it\'s done!

Yufeng Chasing Dreams listened to the whole process: What the hell, is this okay? !
