The two accepted the task, and the old woman continued to say, "This evil queen is very good at hiding her whereabouts. She has set up an illusion magic array in front of the entrance to her residence that can confuse people's eyes. However, please don't worry about it, although almost all animals have died out in the Silent Forest, there still remains one last eagle owl which possesses the ability to see through illusions! Find this eagle owl, you will be led by it to find the way to enter the Silent Queen!"
"I feel like this task is divided into several steps. I want to see that Silent Queen seems not so simple." Xiao Hua, after listening to what the old woman said, whispered to Piaoling with a numb scalp.
"It's not that troublesome. This is just a setting made by the system to make sure the task doesn't get too monotonous. If you go straight to kill the boss when entering the dungeon, then all the fun of the dungeon will be lost. Compared with other dungeons, this one is considered the simplest. As long as you find the vulture eagle, you can find the hidden place of the Silent Queen next. Of course, it's simple because the Silent Queen is strong enough and powerful enough so there are no prerequisites!" Floating also replied quietly.
After saying that, the old woman sat back in her seat and ignored them as if they didn't exist.
Xiao Hua saw that he knew the task had been accepted, and asked Piaoling: "Where is the eagle? Is it mentioned on the forum?"
"This needs to be carefully searched for. The vulture is wandering around in the Silent Forest, and there's no fixed location. It might take some time." Floating said helplessly. This was what she had read on the forum, and she didn't have any better ideas.
"Your true eye, I remember that the true eye is very useful in the copy and has the ability to dispel illusions. It's specially used for finding hidden areas of the copy, right? Can it be used to break the illusion magic of Silent Queen?" Xiao Hua thought about it and said. The thing he remembered most from the copy was the mage's true eye. In his only few experiences with copies, he had seen two times when mages found the hidden area of the copy using their true eyes, which increased the completion rate of the copy.
Most of the copies in the second world have hidden areas, and what is placed inside may be a treasure box or a group of monsters. Finding these hidden areas and opening the treasure boxes inside as well as killing the monsters can improve the completion rate of the copy, thus getting higher evaluation when passing it.
Under the premise that the skill level of Real Eye is high enough, most hidden areas in dungeons can be found by using Real Eye. Therefore, wizards are very popular among dungeon teams. If there's no wizard, you have to find corresponding items in the dungeon to locate the hidden area, but these items will randomly appear at a certain place in the dungeon. It takes much more time if you don't get lucky and just go looking for them on purpose. Many dungeon teams without wizards even give up the part of the dungeon with hidden areas because they want to save time.
"No, at least Master-level True Eye can't break that illusion magic array. I don't know about Grandmaster level." Floating Leaf has thought of this problem many times as someone who often commands raid actions, but unfortunately it is a fact.
"There's nothing we can do. We have to follow the steps of the task." There was no loophole, Xiao Hua could only nod his head and accept it.
The inside of the house was obviously darker than outside. Xiao Hua and Piaoling came out, and the silent forest under the dense branches also became brighter.
"Where to find?" Xiao Hua looked at Piaoling. He was not familiar with this copy, and if he had to decide, he would just choose a direction and go.
It's better to listen to Piaoling first.
"The position of the vulture is randomly appearing. Just choose a direction and go." Floating's opinion was unexpectedly highly consistent with Xiao Hua's thoughts!
"What are you looking at me like that for." After saying this, Xiao Hua felt that Xiaolings eyes were a little abnormal.
"I suddenly feel that you are not so smart. The method you think of is actually the same as mine!" Xiao Hua said honestly.
"Humph, it's no different if you call a person with an IQ of 250. The system is designed like this to consume players' time and there are no effective methods for finding or shortening time." Floating White glared at him and said.
"Which direction should I choose?" Xiao Hua decided not to waste time and speed up finding the Silent Queen, just touching her a few times is the truth!
"East!" Floating thoughtlessly said. So they left the camp and went eastward.
The trees in the silent forest are huge, but fortunately there is a distance of 20 to 30 meters between each tree. It looks very spacious, otherwise if one tree blocks their way, half of their vision will be blocked.
Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.
The forest floor was covered with huge piles of dead leaves. How many layers and how thick they were, no one could tell. The ground had completely lost its soil. Xiao Hua walked on it and felt a soft but elastic feeling, which was totally different from sinking in snow.
Looking up at the towering, branchy trees that reach high into the sky, Xiao Hua felt it was as difficult to find a relatively small bird in such an eerie forest as searching for a needle in a haystack. Xiao Hua also realized that even if he could use his real eyes to search for the Silent Queen's residence, bad luck might take years before finding it. It would be best to honestly find the vulture and let it lead the way!
"Do you think we will starve to death in this forest before finding that damned eagle before we run out of energy?" After walking for a long time, Xiao Hua fully utilized his imagination and said wildly.
There was no sound except for the creaking of twigs and leaves under their feet. It was so quiet that Xiao Hua felt he might leave psychological shadows because of a copy if he didn't say something.
"No!" Floating leaves replied with certainty.
"Why?" Xiao Hua was puzzled.
"Take some time to learn more about copy knowledge. This kind of copy that searches for an NPC in a certain position will find you if it can't be found within a certain period of time. However, at this stage, the evaluation of the copy will decrease. The vulture is also one of these NPCs. If it cannot be found within an hour, it will come looking for you." Floating patiently explained to Xiao Hua, who was new to copies.
"Understood!" Xiao Hua humbly accepted.
Things weren't as bad as Xiao Hua had imagined. Half an hour later, they found a small stream in the forest. The water was clear and transparent. On top of that, they saw a huge "bird man", no, it should be said to be a huge bird bigger than humans. This giant bird stood on its two legs, waving its strong bald wings with great power, drinking water at the edge of the stream.
The two people had imagined what a vulture would look like before, but the image of the vulture in front of them was undoubtedly far beyond their imagination. Their imaginations were ruthlessly ridiculed by the system!
"This big bird, won't it be a vulture?" Xiao Hua wiped his eyes. The big bird in front of him was obviously taller than he was by several heads and much bigger in size. There is no comparison between them. Even if a Northeast Black Bear comes over, it will still be smaller than this big bird!
"I think I'm right. There should be only one bird in this forest." Floating also got scared. The monsters in the game are still consistent with reality, so it's strange that such an unrealistic big bird suddenly appears without being surprised.
"Do you think I'm weird?"
More surprisingly, after being surprised, this big bird actually started talking. The animals or non-human monsters in the game speak? This is something I've never heard of before!
"You are the brave heroes from another world? With just you two, you want to challenge the Silent Queen. It's too arrogant of you."
"What a pity!" The huge eagle turned around and looked down on them with contempt.
The eagle turned around, and Xiao Hua finally saw its appearance. It was a large bird that looked like an owl, but unlike owls, this huge talking eagle had eyes filled with spirituality, which were completely different from those of birds!
"Haha, you don't need to worry about this. We are entrusted by an old woman in a wooden house to find the Queen of Silence. You just need to lead us to her residence." If they met such strange things in reality, they would have run away long ago, but in the game everything is possible. The two had accepted the existence of this weird bird and Xiao Hua even said with a smile to the big bird.
"Humph, I won't stop you if you insist on going to die. If it wasn't for that person's words, I wouldn't have been able to refuse. Otherwise, I would not waste my energy and bring you there. Come on, follow me. It is a bit far from here where the Silent Queen lives." The eagle snorted coldly, then spread its wings and swiped them twice before turning around and walking in one direction of the forest.
"You said you remembered where Queen of Silence was. Can we go there directly next time without finding this big bird?" Xiao Hua asked Xiang Ling in a low voice while walking behind the eagle.
"It's useless. The position of the Silent Queen is also randomly refreshed, and there is no other way except to find this big bird!" Floating leaves told Xiao Hua honestly according to what he said on the forum.
"Oh." Xiaohua nodded a little disappointedly, he was still thinking that if this time could be successful, then after spending money to hire a team of people to bring him in and steal it full!
"Here we are!" After walking for about half an hour, the giant vulture suddenly stopped and said coldly.
Xiao Hua and two people stopped, only to find that they had stopped in a place that seemed familiar.
