Chapter 51 Return to Xuanwu City
After confirming that all Boss-level monsters with weapons can drop weapons, I began to aim at the next target - the Cyclops in Xuanwu City. The reason for choosing Xuanwu City is of course because of the fact that I have known for a short time, "Fenglin Volcano".
"Fenglin Volcano" is indeed an interesting character with endless topics to talk about. As soon as I arrived at Xuanwu City, I made an appointment with him using "Flying Geo's Letters". This guy happened to be online and arrived at the "Tianxia Restaurant" in less than ten minutes because I added the sentence "I'll treat you today" to "Flying Geo's Letters".
Eating a lunch of thousands of gold coins and watching the "Fenglin Volcano" swallowing voraciously, I thought to myself when I had already started to enjoy the game. At the beginning, even when I stayed in the inn, I picked up the cheap type, and the meal was just my own simple barbecue, although I also had the ability to exercise my own cooking skills.
However, since the game was upgraded and the coin exchange system was activated, I made more and more money, and I began to make money. I didn’t frown at a lunch of one thousand gold coins. Could this be the specific manifestation of the nouveau riche’s mentality? I laughed at myself and shook my head, joining the cause of eliminating food.
After drinking and eating, the "Fenglin Volcano" had a flush on his face and his eyes were even more blurred. He looked like he was drunk. But in fact, the old man was extremely sober and patted his chest and said, "Brother, what's wrong with coming to Xuanwu City today? Or look for 'titanium ore'?"
"No. My 'Qiankun Ring' has been upgraded. I am here to thank you for your help last time. Of course, fighting monsters is also one of my plans. Tell me about any good locations for fighting monsters here." Of course, I will not tell him my real purpose, after all, the relationship between the two is not very deep.
"Fenglin Volcano" immediately felt excited when he heard me say this, and he said happily: "Brother, you are asking the right person. In Xuanwu City, I can be regarded as a character and have friendships with gangs of all sizes. Those leveling locations are even more clear. I know many secret places that others don't know. I guarantee that you will be surprised by your elder brother!"
Oh? At first I just asked casually, but now when I heard him say this, my interest was sucked up and asked curiously: "There are all those secret places? Is it powerful?"
"Fenglin Volcano" looked around carefully. At this time, we had already left Xuanwu City. Xiaobai was gliding above his head, and there was no figure around him. "Fenglin Volcano" felt a little relieved, but still said softly: "The most famous thing around our Xuanwu City is the 'Black Dragon Pond', you already know this. But although this 'Black Dragon Pond' is famous, it is just because of the many monsters. The higher their level goes, the higher their level is. It is indeed a good leveling place for ordinary people; but it is not this place that is really suitable for players to fight monsters, but the 'Giant Plateau' north of Xuanwu City."
"The 'Giant Plateau' is famous for the 'Cyclops'. They are relatively advanced monsters, but the one that is really powerful is not the 'Cyclops', but a monster called 'Buld Demon King' hidden deep in the plateau. It is the monster in "Journey to the West"! This monster is very huge, about seven meters high, and is a earth-based monster. He holds a huge hammer in his hand. When he encounters an enemy, he will hit the ground with the giant hammer in his hand, and then there will be severe earthquakes and earth cracks. Last time I accidentally encountered 'Buld Demon King'. Thanks to my cleverness and quick escape, I escaped."
At this time, "Fenglin Volcano" stopped and looked at me listening carefully, feeling very proud, with his expression as if he had killed the "bull demon king".
"Isn't that gone?" I was a little disappointed. Monsters at the level of monsters are not easy to mess with, especially earth-type monsters like "Bul Demon King", which have super high attacks and defenses, quick recovery of life, and various magical support. They are simply a war fortress. Now I can't defeat it, even if I add Xiaobai.
"Of course not!" "Fenglin Volcano" regained the carefulness of the underground workers and said softly: "There is another place that ordinary people can't find, just like that 'paradise' that requires a person who is proficient in formations to pass. Last time, after I separated from my elder brother, I accidentally discovered that place, and the formation there happened to be mentioned in my "Basic Formation Illustration", so I successfully entered the formation and found that it was occupied by two "Demonized Mantis". Their level was very high. Even my advanced "reconnaissance technique" could not see the specific level, and only gave an approximate range of 40-50. I just looked at it and withdrew. The momentum made me dare not approach it at all. However, I can be sure that these two "Demonized Mantis" are definitely not monsters."
"Oh, how did you make a judgment?" I didn't believe it anymore when I looked at "Fenglin Volcano".
"Sensation! Pure feeling!" "Fenglin Volcano" shook his finger and said, "Facing with the 'Bul Demon King', the chill that came out of my heart made me understand that it was a monster, so I could escape before it got angry. By the same token, when facing the two 'Demonized Mantis', although it was overwhelming, it was still within my range of feelings.
"Then have you told others?" Of course, I have to go and see such a good place.
"How can this be! This is the big brother, I won't tell him others." "Fenglin Volcano" looks like you and I are good friends, especially this kid applied the advertising slogans of a well-known brand on TV. The tone and expression were learned vividly, which made me laugh happily.
It will be agreed that our strength is currently unable to deal with monsters like "Bul Demon King", but the "Demonized Mantis" has not reached the level of monsters, and at most it is a monster of the boss level. Although there are two of them that seem a bit strange, the place where they are is already very strange and is in the formation, so it is not a big deal to have two bosses.
However, facing two boss-level "demonized mantis", it is much more troublesome to deal with. So in the attack formation we planned, Xiaobai and I concentrated their efforts against one "demonized mantis", and the "Wind Forest Volcano" dragged the other one. With his strength, I believe that I can wait until Xiaobai and I solve the problem of the "demonized mantis".
The bamboo forest where the "Demonized Mantis" is located is located at the extreme south of Xuanwu City, which is close to the seaside. The bamboos in the bamboo forest are all strange purple, so they are called "Purple Bamboo Forest". Most people can only kill some low-level monsters on the periphery when entering the "Purple Bamboo Forest". They are also mantis, but their name is "Purple Bamboo Mantis". The shell is purple and it is difficult to find hidden in the bamboo forest. Often, they suddenly come out to you when the player is not paying attention. They are some more difficult monsters.
While we were waiting for the intersection, the figure of the "Demonized Mantis" finally appeared in front of us. Just as the "Wind Forest Volcano" said, it was full of momentum. Although it was terrifying, the stone did not feel that it was invincible. What was even happier was that only one "Demonized Mantis" appeared this time, which means that our chances of victory were greater.
The "Demonized Mantis" gradually approached, and we could clearly see its appearance. Its body was green and its huge forelimbs poked forward, looking a bit like a person-devouring. However, when approaching the trap, the "Demonized Mantis" stopped and left and right a few times, but no longer walked forward even a single step.
It seems that this "demonized mantis" is still very smart! Boss-level monsters cannot be underestimated.
"What should I do?" The "Fenglin Volcano" on the side asked when he saw this situation: "Do you need me to go over and lead it over?"
"No." I put away the "cold iron arrow" and replaced it with an ordinary steel arrow, saying, "It's better for me to do it. But when it jumps over later, you have to be careful and never let it approach us."
"No problem!" "Fenglin Volcano" shook the "Juque" in his hand and said, "With my 'Juque' here, you don't have to worry at all."
I don't agree with this kind of self-proclaimed "Wind Forest Volcano". The "golden hunting bow" in my hand has been pulled for a full month. I let go, and the bowstring "buzzed" with a "steel arrow" and the steel arrow shot quickly towards the "demonized mantis" who was slightly anxious facing the trap.
Unexpectedly, the steel arrow was easily blocked by the "Demonized Mantis" with one of its forelimbs. Its movement was so light that it seemed like a breath, and the steel arrow did not leave even a trace on it.
But despite this, my behavior still angered the owner of the bamboo forest. The "Demonized Mantis" made a harsh whisper from his mouth and slowly retreated. When I thought it wanted to escape, the "Demonized Mantis" stopped again and rushed towards us quickly. When it was about to approach the trap, it jumped on its thick hind limbs, and was about to come to our heads.
However, in the face of this situation, we had already expected that the first line of defense was Xiaobai in the air. The "Demonized Mantis" located in the air could not turn its body at all, so Xiaobai directly attacked from the high altitude and smashed the "Demonized Mantis" into the trap: the speed of the "Demonized Mantis" itself plus Xiaobai's heavy blow made it quickly come into contact with the cover of the trap.
The "Demonized Mantis" is really extraordinary. Because it is difficult to grasp the direction in the air, Xiaobai's attack hit the "Demonized Mantis" to the edge of the trap, and it leans against our side. Therefore, the "Demonized Mantis" tends to jump out of the trap with the slight support at the edge of the trap.
But I was not worried, because as early as when Xiaobai smashed the "Demonized Mantis", I and "Fenglin Volcano" were ready. So when the "Demonized Mantis" wanted to jump out of the trap, the "Juque" of "Fenglin Volcano" had already hit the head of the "Demonized Mantis". Although the "Demonized Mantis" blocked it with the thick forelimb in the middle, it still caused great damage to it, and green blood flowed out of the head.
There is a stalemate between "Wind Forest Volcano" and "Demonized Mantis" on the front. "Wind Forest Volcano" has super high attacks and super strong defense. Although it is a bit embarrassed to face the "Demonized Mantis", it can still support it. And I am on the side, looking for various opportunities. With the sharp "Golden Sword", each stroke will add a catch to the "Demonized Mantis"; and the strongest attack main force is Xiaobai in the air, and every attack will leave a huge wound on the back of the "Demonized Mantis".
The two sides were constantly holding a dynamic balance. But the more they went, the more pressure the "Fenglin Volcano" faced, the more wounds they had on their bodies, and there were no time to apply golden sore medicine.
Seeing this situation, I shouted: "Volcano, hurry up and run, let's take the gamble."
"Okay! You can block it for me!" "Fenglin Volcano" responded very simply, slashing a sword in his hand, and setting a distance at the moment when the "Demonized Mantis" retreated to prepare for a mobile warfare. Of course, this situation cannot be hidden from the "Demonized Mantis", but just as "Winlin Volcano" retreated, I fitted into the "Demonized Mantis". The sharp "Golden Sword" stirred a little in the original wound. The huge pain made the "Demonized Mantis" give up the enemy in front of me and turned to me, a "villain" who attacked from the side at all times.
But it was not that easy! When the "Demonized Mantis" turned around, I had already drawn out the "Golden Sword" and ran away. With the super high speed, I instantly opened the distance with the "Demonized Mantis" and lost one of my forelimbs and was seriously injured. The "Demonized Mantis" could not catch up with me at all. I also changed into the "Golden Hunting Bow" while running, constantly looking for opportunities to get one or two arrows for this big guy, although the effect of each arrow was not ideal.
Of course, Xiaobai would not be idle at this time, with constant attacks in the air. Even once again, Xiaobai actually caught the "Demonized Mantis" and flew into the air. However, it was forced to terminate because of its counterattack and fell from a three-meter high, which did not cause much damage to the "Demonized Mantis".
In terms of speed, "Wind Forest Volcano" cannot be compared with me and "Demonized Mantis", so once it turns into guerrilla warfare, all the attacks were completed by Xiaobai and I. The "Wind Forest Volcano" on the side complained and said sadly that he was "useless in the place of martial arts", which made me so angry that I sighed that I had met someone wrong.
It was more than an hour before the "Demonized Mantis" finally died in the hands of Xiaobai and me. However, at this time, I was so tired that my legs were numb, and my arms were unable to move. As soon as the "Demonized Mantis" died, I sat on the ground and didn't think about it. This is the only disadvantage after the system upgrade. Players can clearly feel hunger, muscle aches, fatigue and other conditions.
Looking at the "Fenglin Volcano" that had already fallen into the trap, I asked, "What good baby has you lost?"
"Skill Book!" "Fenglin Volcano" raised the thing in his hand and said: "It is a book called "Seven Star Mantis Boxing". It not only has boxing moves, but also internal skills, and is an intermediate skill."
"Fenglin Volcano" climbed up and handed me the "Seven Stars Mantis Fist" in his hand and said, "I'll take a look at this thing that fell."
Ignoring my surprise when I saw "Seven Stars Mantis Fist", I walked towards the boss-level "Demonized Mantis" not far away from me and began to flip through its corpse. When I looked at "Seven Stars Mantis Fist" in my hand, I was in fantasy. With it, I could have internal strength, which means I can finally use the special skill of "Golden Bow Hunting" to "Guiding Arrow"; in this way, my "archery" will definitely increase its power. If I add the two "cold iron arrows" in my hand, it will be invincible.
I was secretly happy in my heart, and a hand swayed in front of my eyes: "Why are you smirking, brother? This book "Seven Star Mantis Boxing" is not suitable for you, a hunter, why are you so happy?"
Looking at the puzzled "Fenglin Volcano" I smiled slightly and said, "I just took a fancy to the internal energy and mental method. So far, I have no internal energy yet, so I have been very passive in fighting monsters. Now with it, my strength can at least be improved. By the way, what has this one lost?"
"No, you can see it yourself!" "Fenglin Volcano" handed the thing in his hand to me with an unhappy look on his face.
After taking the purple bamboo similar to the Taoist staff, I looked at it and it was called "Netherworld Purple Bamboo", which was actually golden equipment. It was very good. What's the point of disappointment in "Wind Forest Volcano"?
"What? I'm not satisfied with the gold equipment?" I asked curiously.
"Yes! This 'Nether Purple Bamboo' is on the "Weapon Ranking" and is located at 93. It is a special equipment for wizards. But brother, you know, there is no wizard profession at the Eastern Continent. Last time I asked GM, and GM said that 'Witch' is not a hidden profession. As for what it is, they don't know. Who would like to think of such a strange thing? It is said that the player who originally owned 'Nether Purple Bamboo' only auctioned 100,000 gold coins at the auction; now which piece of gold equipment is not sold for millions. I don't know if it can be sold! So this time it's a big loss!"
So that's it! It's really a coincidence that I also got a special staff for "wizards" in the "Savage Valley", but now I have another one. Is the profession of "wizards" a destiny to me? I thought to myself.
"Don't be so discouraged! This time I've agreed to fight monsters, and the equipment is evenly distributed. I have a crush on this book "Seven Star Mantis Fist". The "Netherworld Purple Bamboo" belongs to you! Of course, I won't let you suffer any losses. I bought this "Netherworld Purple Bamboo" for 200,000 gold coins. What do you think?" Since this equipment is exclusive to "wizard", there is definitely a profession of "wizard", but no one knows it at the moment. But once this profession appears in the future, the equipment I have in my hand will be very popular and can definitely be sold at a good price!
After hearing what I said, "Fenglin Volcano" happily agreed. It took 200,000 gold coins in one trip, which was more than 16,000 yuan, which was a very good return. Moreover, most of the efforts this time were Xiaobai and I, so this distribution method, "Fenglin Volcano" made a lot of money.
Therefore, after receiving the gold ticket, "Fenglin Volcano" blushed with a rare look and said, "Thank you, brother! If you have anything to do in the future, please come to me."
"Haha, since you call me 'big brother', how could I let you suffer a loss? Besides, maybe I can make you a profit!" I told "Fenglin Volcano" my analysis.
After hearing this, "Fenglin Volcano" sighed and pretended to be aggrieved, saying, "It turns out that my brother had already seen that I didn't want this 'Nether Purple Bamboo' in the morning. He is so generous, he is really a profiteer!"
"Haha..." Looking at the daughter-like appearance of "Fenglin Volcano", I laughed again. This "Fenglin Volcano" is really funny.
After laughing, I remembered that the inner alchemy of the "Demonized Mantis" had not been taken yet, so I quickly used a "dividing technique" on the two "Demonized Mantis". If as I expected, at the beginning, there was no inner alchemy on the "Demonized Mantis" at first, but it contributed two jagged forelimbs; the latter one was indeed a boss-level monster, and the inner alchemy on the body was green, and the light flashed, containing huge energy.
I used a butcher's knife to divide it into two halves, and took one half with "Fenglin Volcano". Half of the inner elixirs turned into a cool liquid at the entrance, scattered into the limbs and disappeared. The attributes still remained unchanged, but I could feel that the strength of the muscles of the limbs had been greatly enhanced, and the elasticity of the elasticity was greatly enhanced.
Unlike me, after "Fenglin Volcano" took the half of the inner alchemy, the clear current spread throughout his body, and as his internal energy and mental method flowed, this situation lasted for more than ten minutes. After waking up, "Fenglin Volcano" immediately checked his changes and found that not only did the strength increase by 3 points, but the internal energy increased by 12 points. "Fenglin Volcano" was very excited. After he obtained the internal energy and mental method, he practiced it every day for more than three months, and only increased the internal energy by 27 points. Now he has increased 12 points at once, which is 39 points. As long as he adds a little more, he can learn the "Haoyang Sword Technique" in the skill book.
Looking at the excited "Fenglin Volcano", I patted him on the shoulder and said, "How is it? You have a lot of gains! As long as it is a boss-level monster, there is an inner pill on it, but only a hunter can get it by dividing the corpse. So next time if you want to fight a boss-level monster, it is best to find a hunter to cooperate with you first, otherwise you will waste the good materials on the boss."
"Fenglin Volcano" calmed down his mood, shook his head and said, "I don't have to find other hunters to cooperate. Brother, you will definitely help me, right?" He said, blinking playfully. It seems that I, the free "butcher", will be decided in the future.
Amid laughter, the two left the "Purple Bamboo Forest".
Chapter completed!
