Of course, Ye Jiu actually has no tasks about this group of NPCs. It is not mentioned in all 19 tasks. It seems that he doesn't know that there is this group of NPCs at all.

Moreover, these NPCs do not seem to have a good sense to the emperor in the imperial city. The emperor's grandfather always feels that he does not have a special respect when he talks about it.

"What do you call this gentleman?" Ye Jiu ran to the npc where he found them at the beginning.

"My name is Adelec."

"Love is bizarre? Okay, Mr. Love." Ye Jiu always felt strange when he heard the name. Why is it such a name?

"Adriqi, mugwort, morality, gift, wonderful." NPC repeated with a dark face.

"Okay, Mr. Ed. I wonder how long it has been here?" Ye Jiu asked carefully.

"How long? I don't remember, at the beginning we had 50 brothers, but now we are only a few of us. It seems like ten years has passed?"

"Ten years? How did you survive?"

"Are you very surprised? I guess there is no news about us at all, right? It seems that the emperor's grandfather really forgot about us. Haha." NPC's face was not full of worries or surprise, but it was very calm. For ten years, there has been no news and no support, so it should have been dull.

"Indeed, sorry, we deceived you." Ye Jiu replied naturally, embarrassed that he was not exposed.

"We can survive because of the special nature of this fortress. Wait a while, our brothers will come later."

"OK."

Ye Jiu also saw that the battle is still a bit tight, so he chatted for a few words and then waited. The rest of the team also joined the battle, which reduced the pressure on NPC.

"Oh, my god, I actually saw a strange face, Ed, who are these people?" A few moments later, a group of people ran over.

"This group of people is adventurers. They took over the mission from the Imperial City, but it was not because of us." Ed looked at the person and said lightly. There was no anger or joy.

When the visitor heard Ed's words, his face went from joy to anger to dullness. "Ed, maybe you are right."

"Okay, take a break, these adventurers are still very powerful. You just resurrected, how are you in good health now?"

"It's great, no wonder you can take so long. I thought you had taken medicine." The visitor continued.

"Is Ye Jiu so? Please help everyone with treatment." Ed turned to Ye Jiu and said.

Ye Jiu did not answer, but directly started his own healing, with super high attributes. Although the skill level was not high, it was a bit dissatisfied at the beginning, but Ed was surprised to find that this skill was slow-heating type, and the amount of healing continued now was terrifying. Moreover, this 5-person team was really powerful. Five people resisted the battle of 20 people in half of the ordinary team, and they were eased.

It can be seen that the level of this group of people does not seem to be very powerful. If they grow to the level of people like me, they will definitely be much stronger than others.

The monsters continued for a long time before they ended, and there were more people now, so it was not a waste.

"Captain Ed, I can finally slow down for a while. Have you been continuing this attack for so long?"

"Yes, Captain Ye Jiu, thank you for your help."

"You're welcome, it's so unbelievable. It's really admirable that you've persisted for so long."

"What's there to admire? It's the mechanism of this fortress."

"Oh? I wonder if I can talk about it in detail?"

"When you enter this fortress, you should have discovered it. It seems that monsters are immortal and can always see the same faces repeatedly, right?"

"Yes."

"We suspect that it may be this fortress, or that there are magical treasures in this area, or that it may be the special type of this area, which led to this situation. I think the expeditionary army and so many elites must have discovered this, so we built the fortress here.

But success is because of this fortress, and failure is also because of this fortress.

As far as we know, since they established this fortress, different rules suddenly appeared here, and people inside could no longer get out.

You also saw less than 50 of us. Back then, everyone discovered the secret of immortality. Some members wanted to go out and told their former good friends that we did not go out because of the imperial city's orders. We could only watch them go out and then turn into powder in the air. Moreover, the resurrection mechanism of the fortress did not work on them. Later, we never went out again. Whether we starved to death here or died due to combat, it would not have any effect. We would be resurrected not far away. Of course, we don't want to die all the time, and we don't want to forget the meaning of survival, so we are fighting."

"Then what about the emperor grandpa you mentioned?"

"We were also directly ordered to enter here by the emperor's orders, and then began to explore. In fact, there were several groups of people coming, but every time, when we asked, the people who came in did not know that there were related tasks. I had guessed at the beginning that we were abandoned, but there were still people who would have confidence. But over the years, everyone has been shaken, and your arrival was just adding a weight to it."

"I'm really sorry for bringing you such bad news."

"There's nothing to be sorry for."

"I wonder if there is anything we can do?"

"Maybe you can help collect something and let us build a defense system here." NPC Ed thought for a while and then said.

"Okay, you said."

"I really appreciate you your willingness to help, because if we get related things, we will be attacked immediately. After trying several times, we can only give up. Here is a list, please give up."

"Okay, we will do it as soon as possible." After Ye Jiu finished speaking, he stopped talking, and NPC Ed did not pay attention to Ye Jiu anymore.

When I went up to speak again, Ed would only repeat the answer: "Oh, dear adventurer, have you collected all the things we want?" With just this sentence, the other NPCs would not talk to the player, as if the player did not exist.

After looking at the task list, I found that there is still a countdown on the time. It seems that this has a time limit, although the time limit is relatively long.

"Okay, guys, don't keep resisting. The npc below should do it by itself, and they should be in no danger before the task is completed."

Ye Jiu greeted his friends. Then he shared the task and started planning the route.

All things needed are soul essences and have not been dropped before, but since this is a mission item, it is not too strange.

The group returned to the beginning because the soul purification of the monsters here is also needed, of course, only the captain's, ordinary people do not.

I thought the time was OK, but I found that the chance of dropping this soul essence was surprisingly low. The first day was completed, and several people went offline to deal with their own affairs. As a result, the task was only 20%, but the countdown had been delayed by 1 day, and the remaining 3 days were only left.
