Chapter 473: Chapter 473: Concealment Ring

System: You have obtained the epic quest “Eradicate the Clan”, task content, to hunt and stop the Demonized Ant Group of the Dark Night Circus; Task target: Demonized Worker Ants: 0/500, Demonized Soldier Ants: 0/100, Demonized Ant King: 0/3; Task reward: Epic Treasure Chest (1);

Upon accepting the task, Song Jian looked at the epic task description in his taskbar and nearly spat out a mouthful of blood. He had initially prepared himself to fight against an Ant King with the first level of combat power, but he hadn’t expected that the task target was actually three Ant Kings!

“Are you sure there is only one Demonized Ant Clan there?” Song Jian’s face suddenly turned ugly.

“Definitely. It is detailed information that I obtained at the cost of two lives!” The old beastman, Hacus, said confidently. Although those two sacrificed professionals hadn’t reached the first level of combat power, hardly anyone rivaled them in stealth and reconnaissance.

“But why does my task involve hunting three Demonized Ant Kings?” Song Jian said a bit angrily.

Players can’t display task contents like NPCs can; otherwise, Song Jian would surely throw this task in the face of this old beastman.

“Impossible! As a clan, Demonized Ants would have only one Ant King. Even if another Ant King were born, the new Ant King would leave the clan to establish its own. It’s never possible to find two Ant Kings in one clan, let alone three…” Hacus nearly jumped up, shouted loudly. What Song Jian said went against common sense and seemed unbelievable to Hacus.

“You’re deceiving me. I think the constitution of this task violates the principle of fairness and equity. I’m going to ask the system gods to cancel this task!” Song Jian said seriously.

“No, no, please, don’t do that.” Hacus was shocked and hastily stopped him. “I’ll compensate you. I’ll compensate you in a way that will certainly satisfy you!”

Hacus took out a light blue ring from his chest and handed it to Song Jian with an expression of loss. “This is the Concealment Ring. It was originally just on loan to you, but now, as compensation, it’s yours. With it, you have the ability to enter the Protection Black Mist freely…”

Concealment Ring (Blue), an item of level 20. Equipment effect: Gains invisibility, can converge all traces, rendering one undetectable. Once hostility is shown towards a target, the invisibility effect disappears. Item description: This ring is an alchemical item and needs to recharge every use, with an automatic recharge time of 12 hours. Equipment requirements: 10 Spirit Points.”

Song Jian took the ring and saw that a golden gem was embedded in it. In the center of the gem was a vertical slit, like a crack, resembling an eyeball.

Song Jian was about to put on the ring for a try when Hacus immediately stopped him. “Once the ring is used, it needs 12 hours to cool down. I suggest you get ready and put it on when entering the Protection Black Mist.”

Song Jian nodded, put away the ring, and Hacus seemed to heave a sigh of relief. He smiled and said, “We can’t stay here for too long. You have at most three days to complete this task. This is the location of the Demonized Ant Clan. Just follow the instructions on it, and you will find them soon.”

Having said that, Hacus handed Song Jian a piece of beast skin, marking the route to the Demonized Ant Clan.

Song Jian glanced at it and put it into his pack. It simply marked the direction to Doomsday City and the location of the Demonized Ant Group.

From this map, the Demonized Ant Clan was not far from Doomsday City, probably less than a kilometer away.

“The task only lasts for three days? The time is quite tight…” Watching the old beastman leave, Song Jian murmured to himself.

After Song Jian accepted the task, Hacus just left. For him, protecting the Shadow Crystal was the priority.

Soon after Song Jian left the circus, Hacus went to another player, coughed twice, and said to the player with a solemn face, “Brave warrior, I see that you are quite strong. I have an epic task here. I wonder if you are interested…”

Song Jian did not know that Hacus had issued this so-called epic task to many players. As long as Hacus thought their power had reached a certain level, he would issue this task to them. After all, the task reward would ultimately belong to only one person. And the more people who accepted the task, the lower the probability of completing it.

Song Jian quickly reached the edge of the city and looked at the rolling black mist in front of him, which surrounded Doomsday City like a wall. The closer to the black mist, the more fear and terror he felt.

This was not a bad effect, but it could trigger the deepest fear in people’s hearts. Even the profession with the lowest spirit perception could feel the danger in the black mist.

Song Jian solemnly put on the Concealment Ring that Hacus gave him. To wear this ring, Song Jian had specifically removed the “Ring of the Fire God.”

He now had two rings of gold quality. The Ring of the Fire God focused on attack power, and the other, Ring of Blood, focused on defense. It could activate a Bloody Shield with a defense of one thousand, during passing through this black mist, Song Jian obviously focused on defense.

After putting on the Concealment Ring, Song Jian’s figure vanished on the spot. Even Song Jian himself felt as if his body had become somewhat translucent. With all smells and traces completely wrapped up by a layer of invisible mysterious power, not a bit was leaked. Even stepping on the grass, the weeds didn’t bend, as if he had turned into an energy body.

In Song Jian’s status bar, there appeared a “concealed” status, which could last as long as Song Jian didn’t initiate an attack.

This feeling was quite special. The instant he turned invisible, Song Jian no longer felt the oppression and fear caused by the Protection Black Mist ahead.

After turning invisible, Song Jian slowly walked into the black mist. Soon, his figure was swallowed by the thick black mist.

Not long after Song Jian left, several players arrived at the edge of the city. Staring at the black mist that seemed to be alive and constantly rolling, they all showed fear on their faces.

They clenched their fingers with the Concealment Ring, turning their finger joints somewhat white, and their faces drenched in sweat. Even their bodies couldn’t stop shaking.

“Does this ring really work?” Cao Shui’s heart was pounding violently. He felt that there was a tremendous threat hidden in the black mist, as if a giant beast was opening its mouth wide to trap them.

“This is an epic task. The reward is an epic chest. It might be the first epic item in the game. If you guys are scared, just cancel the task and go back.” Fan Jin, a warrior, looked at the others with disdain. He snorted, put on the Concealment Ring, and walked towards the black mist.
