"I shouldn't have told you all this!
You'd have to go through the 120-level mission in the Instance Dungeon to find out. However, the Instance Dungeon has become like this. To save the human souls trapped here, I'll tell you everything! "Lu Ban said with a sigh.
Lu Ban's words made Gu Han sweat profusely. If he really had to go through the 120-level game mission, Gu Han might not be able to save these unlucky people even if he had to wait until next month.
"This Emperor Sword Instance Dungeon was originally a normal Emperor Sword Instance Dungeon. It was the starting mission for the Heavenly Court Instance Dungeon series. There was nothing special about it.
I just didn't expect Zhou Yu's soul to be hiding in this preset Instance Dungeon world.
"However, if Zhou Yu wanted to control the entire game world, he had to defeat the original owner of the game world, Miss Tomono Kakaze," Lu Ban said slowly.
"Zhou Yu was actually no match for Miss Tomono Kakaze, so he set up a trap in this Instance Dungeon. First, he lured Miss Tomono Kakaze's consciousness into the Instance Dungeon. Then, he cut off the connection between the Instance Dungeon and the main system, causing Miss Tomono Kakaze, who had lost her foundation, to fall into a deep sleep. Then, he tried to destroy the Instance Dungeon and Miss Tomono Kakaze's consciousness.
"However, before Miss Tomono Kakaze fell into a deep sleep, she told me everything with her mind. She asked me to pass the message to Master Kenzu before the Instance Dungeon closed, and to continue waiting for you in the Instance Dungeon, Military Governor.
"Master Kenzu came to stop the Instance Dungeon before it was completely destroyed. He fought with Zhou Yu again. However, Zhou Yu had already stolen Miss Tomono Kakaze's power. Master Kenzu was no match for Zhou Yu.
"Thus, Sir Kenzu decided to sacrifice his own sword soul to become one with this instance dungeon. In the process, the souls of some innocent humans were sucked into this instance dungeon and trapped within it … that way, Zhou Yu will not be able to destroy this instance dungeon. It is the equivalent of protecting Miss Tomono Kakaze's soul."
"But this way, this Instance Dungeon has completely broken away from the system's control. It has become a Instance Dungeon that can only be entered but not left. This is the reason for this world's mutation!"
Lu Ban's explanation was very thorough. Without any suspense, he directly told Guhan the reason for the formation of this world. The world liked good people like him.
"Then why has the memory of humans been washed to this state?" Guhan asked in confusion.
"Actually, their memories have not been altered. Their memories have been sealed in their subconscious. This is the result of the soul battle between Kenzu and Zhou Yu!"
Lu Ban explained. "The souls of these humans who were sucked into this instance dungeon have merged with the NPCs of this world. The memories of those NPCs have replaced the memories of these human players, and at the same time, they have suppressed the human players' memories in their subconscious."
"Is there a way to release their memories?" Guhan asked.
"There is only one way to release their memories, and that is to let Miss Tomono Kakaze regain control of the entire game world. Then, she can erase the memories of these NPCs from the root.
Without the suppression of the NPCs' memories, the human's own memories will naturally be released without any danger, "Lu Ban said.
"So, the key to all the problems lies with Tomono Kakaze. As long as Tomono Kakaze, who is trapped in this world, the entire instance dungeon and all humans will be able to return to normal!
As for whether we need to clear this instance dungeon or not, are all the quests not important? "Guhan guessed.
"Military Governor, my young friend, you are right, but you are also wrong. Indeed, saving Miss Tomono Kakaze will save everyone. However, the prerequisite to saving Miss Tomono Kakaze is to complete all the quests in this instance dungeon."
Lu Ban sighed. "To ensure that Miss Tomono Kakaze is suppressed, Zhou Yu has used all the root data of this instance dungeon. Unless the entire instance dungeon disappears on its own, Miss Tomono Kakaze will not be able to wake up from the suppression of the instance dungeon."
"And to make this instance dungeon disappear on its own …"
"To make this instance dungeon disappear on its own, the only way is for me to complete the quest of this instance dungeon and eliminate the reason for its existence at the root. Then, this instance dungeon will disappear on its own, right?" Before Lu Ban could finish, Guhan blurted out.
"That's right!
Mr. Military Governor, you are indeed smart. In that case, I don't need to waste my breath on this! "Lu Ban nodded.
"After all this talk, the problem is back to the source of the problem. I still need to complete all the quests in this instance dungeon!"
Guhan smiled bitterly. "You just said that this instance dungeon has 120 quests. If I were to complete them one by one, how long would it take for me to complete them?"
"There's no hurry … Of course, I won't let you complete all 120 quests, Mr. Military Governor!" Lu Ban smiled. "I wonder if Mr. Military Governor has brought the Peach Tree of Immortality with you?"
"Here it is!" Guhan took out the Peach Tree of Immortality from his pocket.
"Ahem … There's something wrong with the Peach Tree of Immortality that you stole from the Peach Garden. You'll need the Peach Tree of Immortality from Heaven's Equal's Water Curtain Cave … Let me tell you, Heaven's Equal's Equal's home is in Mount Huaguo …" Before Lu Ban could finish, Guhan interrupted him.
"Master Lu Ban, this is the Peach Tree of Immortality from Heaven's Equal's Water Curtain Cave!" Guhan said calmly.
"What?
I didn't even tell you. How do you know that you've found the Peach Tree of Immortality from him? "Lu Ban was obviously shocked by Guhan. He was so angry that his face turned red.
"I obtained a Strategy Guide. The Strategy Guide explained in detail how to complete this Instance Dungeon. I'm just following the instructions in the Strategy Guide!" Gu Han replied.
"Unbelievable … How did you get the strategy book for this quest?"
Lu Ban took a deep look at Gu Han and decided to put this problem aside for the time being. He said, "But this is good!
With this Peach Tree of Immortality, things will be much easier! "
Lu Ban patted the Peach Tree of Immortality, and Guhan heard a new system notification.
"Instance dungeon quest completed. Successfully handed over the Peach Tree of Immortality to Lu Ban. Quest is being refreshed.
"Instance dungeon quest two failed … Instance dungeon quest completion requirements refreshed … Instance dungeon is being recreated …
"Hidden quest created. Find the Living Soil of the Nine Heavens, Water of the Highest Life, and Flames of the Nine Yang to revive this withered Peach Tree of Immortality!"
"Did you hear the notification about the activation of the hidden quest?
At the same time, look for the Living Soil of the Nine Heavens, Water of the Highest Life, and Flames of the Nine Yang? "Lu Ban asked when he saw the surprised look on Guhan's face.
"That's right!" Guhan nodded.
"That's right!"
Lu Ban breathed a sigh of relief. "Now that the hidden quest has been triggered, the complicated 120-circle quest is no longer necessary. All you need to do is follow the main quest of the hidden quest, and the remaining quest will only have 10 circles!"
"Very good!"
A smile finally appeared on Guhan's face. He then turned around and prepared to leave with Liunian Ling and Lu Xihua.
"Where are you going?" Lu Ban quickly asked when he saw that Guhan was about to leave.
"Time is of the essence!
Of course, I'm going to find these three items to complete the quest! "
Guhan replied quickly. With the activation of the hidden quest, the conventional strategy recorded in the strategy guide could no longer be used.
However, Guhan remembered that in the strategy guide, there was also a quest to find these three items. According to the strategy guide, Guhan could also find these three items. So, Guhan could not wait to set off with his team.
"No!
You don't need to look for those three items. I've already prepared them for you! "
Lu Ban said with a smug smile. Then, under the surprised gazes of Guhan, Liunian Ling, and Lu Xihua, he took out the three quest items from his body.
"This …" Guhan lowered his head and grabbed the three quest items in his hand. Then, he saw the introduction panel of the three quest items.
[Living Soil of the Nine Heavens.
Wondrous item. Swordsman cannot use it.
The soil used by Goddess Nuwa when she created humans. It has the magical power to transform into a human body.]
[Supreme Life Water.
Wondrous item. Swordsman cannot use it.
The innate water used by Goddess Nuwa when she created humans. It has the power to transform soil into a human body.]
[True Flames of the Nine Heavens.
Wondrous item. Swordsman cannot use it.
The item with the most Yang Qi in the world. At the same time, it can replenish the Yang Qi needed by the soul without harming it. At the same time, it can train the soul and the body, allowing the two to merge again.]
The system's item introduction panel would never be fake. In other words, the three items provided by Lu Ban were all genuine quest items.
Even if it was Gu Han, he had never thought that the quest item would appear in front of him right after he received the quest. Therefore, Gu Han couldn't help but feel a little dumbfounded. His face revealed a rare expression of not knowing what to do.
"Are you very surprised?
Are you very surprised? "Seeing Guhan's expression, Lu Ban smiled even more happily.
"If this was a normal instance dungeon, I would definitely let you look for it yourself. This is also the fun of instance dungeons!
However, the situation is urgent. The longer a human's soul stays in this dungeon, the weaker it will be. If it stays for more than a week, I'm afraid it will completely disappear. So, I won't waste your time. Before you enter this dungeon, I've already asked Artoria and the others to bring these items from their respective places to make it easier for you to complete your task! "
"There's such a thing?"
Liunian Ling and Lu Xihua looked at Lu Ban dumbly. This was the first time they had encountered such a way to complete a instance dungeon.
