Chapter 98 The Fisherman
Chapter 98 Fisherman
Since I got the "ice mana", I have started to be crazy, wanting to increase the values of the four powers as soon as possible so as to use the immortal weapon - the Sun Shooting Bow. Of course, in addition to practicing, I also have to deal with some other things, such as finding new channels for goods for "Longhuxuan".
Because after the "World Fighting Meeting", the secret stores that were originally hidden in various cities went bankrupt one by one and were accepted by new staff, and those relatively low-priced high-end goods were no longer sold. It can be said that my source of goods has been reduced by more than half at once, which forced me to reopen new goods channels. After all, the equipment I bought and the player goods I purchased were not enough to cope with the sales of "Longhuxuan".
Fortunately, "Longhuxuan" has taken the high-quality route from the beginning, and I have prepared all kinds of goods before, so I can handle it for a while.
What is even more frustrating is that our sword-making master said to me one day: "Disciple, I have given all my abilities to you, and I can leave with peace of mind. Tomorrow, I will leave "Pangu City" and go to various parts of the mainland for a walk. You don't need to send me it."
The moment I heard this news, I was really stunned. I just learned about the bankruptcy of the secret store, but now I have left another one that is more helpful to me. This series of blows made my head a little confused.
"Uh, why are you leaving? Do you think your disciple is not caring for you? You tell me, I will definitely change it!" I said anxiously with my grasping arm.
I just went to the three nearby cities of Zhuque, Nuwa and Baihu yesterday, and finally confirmed that the secret store no longer exists. I was worried about this matter, but I didn't know that I had such a trick for me. I could imagine the anxiety and panic in my heart.
"Disciple," he patted my head intimately, his voice filled with unprecedented kindness: "I have taught you everything I know. If you want to achieve something in sword making, you need your own efforts. Besides, even if I don't leave this time, I will leave in the future. I can't be with you forever."
When I heard what I was talking about, I felt aroused and said, "But you haven't taught me your sword-making skills yet!" Yes, in fact, I have only taught me some basic skills of blacksmiths, and I have not learned any of the sword-making skills at all. Moreover, I have not obtained the "title" of the high-level blacksmith he promised at the beginning, so I don't want to leave so easily.
"Haha, disciple, I have given you all the skills! You must know that ordinary blacksmiths only know one of the three threes: "building", "casting" and "transforming". Isn't it satisfying to learn these three? As for my sword-casting skills, as long as you can fully understand these three skills, you will naturally be able to be as good as my old man." He said with a smile.
OK! It turns out that the so-called "sword-making art" is just that. It seems that there is no free lunch in the world, and game developers will not give that super skill to others casually.
"But since I'm leaving, there's no need for these things around me. I'll give them to you with this 'blacksmith shop'."
Although I was a little depressed about leaving, I got another shop. Although it was a little smaller, it still made me feel a little depressed. I moved out the fine wine I collected from all over the place, and filled it with a small "blacksmith shop". I sincerely said: "I don't have anything else. These wines were collected by me a few days ago. It's a little care for you."
Seeing so many fine wines, there were more than 30 categories and more than 100 jars of fine wines, but I spent hundreds of thousands of gold coins. Although I was leaving, the days with him brought me too many memories and also gave me a lot of them. The secret book about formations alone had already benefited me from it.
"Okay, okay! My teacher has not read you wrong! I can't let you spend so much." As he said that, he frowned, put his hand into the broken pocket hanging around his waist and tickled for a while, and finally took out a delicate crystal-like hammer and sighed: "This is the treasure hammer that my teacher got from a demon back then. In the process of creating equipment, it will play an attribute bonus to the equipment. The 'fish intestine' and 'juque' of that year were made by me. But later I felt that if I often rely on such treasures, I would inevitably feel dependence, so I kept it in the 'Qiankun Bag'."
After a pause, he continued, "Now I want to travel around. It is useless to carry this treasure on my body. Why not give it to you? With your current level, it will be of great help to you."
I carefully took the small and exquisite "crystal hammer" and felt that its weight was not as light as I thought. I roughly felt that it weighed at least twenty or thirty pounds. I really don't know what material it is made of. You know, the crystal will definitely not be so heavy.
At the same time, I also noticed the three words "Qiankun Bag". As the name suggests, this should be something like the "Qiankun Ring" we wear, and it is also a good thing to store items. Therefore, my eyes unconsciously turned to the ragged bag. I really couldn't imagine that the game company actually made such a crappy thing. However, with that irreversible situation, it was quite suitable.
After giving out the "Crystal Hammer", the one who gave me a "crystal hammer" simply told me to practice the blacksmith skills well, he pulled out a donkey from somewhere, stepped on it, and walked away swaying away... I stood at the door of the "Blacksmith Shop", looking at the long alley that disappeared, and my heart was filled with an indescribable feeling. To me, it was no longer just an NPC, he was more like an elder, caring for me and loving me, even though I knew that these were all characters simulated by the system. But this feeling became stronger and stronger as I left.
It took a long time before I woke up from this confused state and walked back into the still very small "blacksmith shop". The area of the "blacksmith shop" is a little smaller than the "Longhuxuan" that was a small shop before, so apart from the iron stove and a thing, there is only a simple set of tables and chairs. In addition to the remote area, there is no one coming, so it can only be used as a place for me to practice my blacksmith skills in the future.
After looking at the finished products in the corner, they were all silver equipment with good attributes. I thought to myself, "It's good to me, and I left these good things before leaving, which can be worth hundreds of thousands of gold coins. Anyway, there is nothing big now, so I turned on the stove, took out the "crystal hammer", and started to try the effects of this treasure."
More than three long hours passed, and amid the crisp sound of iron, a small dagger appeared in front of me. The level was actually silver equipment. This made me happy and proved that what I said was true. You should know that although I was serious about it before, the "Crystal Hammer" itself has no attribute description except a name, so I am still a little unsure of whether it can play a role. After looking at the attributes again, although they cannot be considered the best in silver equipment, they are not too bad. It seems that you can make your own equipment in the future, so you will not be afraid that "Longhuxuan" will have no goods to sell.
After playing with the dagger in my hand, I packed up my things, closed the door of the "Blacksmith Shop" and came to the "Tianxia Jewelry Store", because I had put the three large pieces of crystals in my hand here to process them, and now I am here to pick up the goods.
Yesterday, Zhang Lan called and said that her mother had almost recovered, so she wanted to enter the game store and the direction of the business was based on our discussion and positioned as female clothing. The beautiful clothes that girls like and the precious and beautiful jewelry that are difficult to buy and are also difficult to make in the real world are all our business scope. Of course, if there are appropriate goods, I will add some beautiful and exquisite equipment to my home, which will attract the attention of girls more. Because in this world, whether in reality or in games, girls are always a major mainstream consumption.
The name of the store has been named "Koran Women's Clothing". The store is located in "Xuanyuan City". Although it is not very good in terms of geographical location, I absolutely believe that after a period of time, people will realize the preciousness and exquisiteness of the goods inside. At that time, the "Koran Women's Clothing" that made its name will definitely attract the attention of the vast number of female compatriots, and at that time, the wealth will be guaranteed.
After taking the crystal necklace and crystal ring made from crystal, I returned to "Longhuxuan" and started preparing for my own journey. My plan was to rely on the formation as much as possible to hunt more monsters between the boss level and the monster level. Of course, if possible, I would not let go of the monsters. However, in that case, the number of "soul beads" consumed will definitely be amazing, and it is not cost-effective in terms of the efficiency of the "soul beads".
The first stop is the "Medicine God Valley" in "Shennong City", because I was attracted by the "Ice and Fire" there and the inner alchemy of the "Ice and Fire Two-Headed Wolf" itself. After all, relying on my own, it is impossible for me to quickly increase the value of my four powers, so the inner alchemy has become a big breakthrough.
I am still very confident about the power of the "Dragon Trap". After all, the monster at the same level died on this powerful formation last time. I believe that the "Ice and Fire Two-Headed Wolf" of the same level should be able to deal with it.
After making up my mind, I took Xiaobai and Baihu in a luxury carriage. After a few hours of journey, I finally arrived outside the "Medicine God Valley". The valley entrance has now recovered the entire Cangyi from the last time. The bumps and frost and charred pits that were originally made by the "Ice and Fire Two-Headed Wolf" have disappeared. It seems that the environment here has been refreshed.
Just as I was about to let Xiaobai land so that I could set up the formation, I suddenly heard the sound of a player talking, and I stopped Xiaobai's movements. Xiaobai, who clearly felt my meaning, nodded slightly, flapped his wings, and came to the high altitude. As long as it was not someone else's deliberate observation, he would not find me.
Relying on the hunter's excellent vision, I saw the group of people gradually approaching the "Medicine God Valley". There were nine people in total, seven men and two women, two women, two women, the archers and the water-type Taoist priests, and the seven men were led by a swordsman. Except for three Taoists and one archer as long-range attacks, the other two were all spearmen.
There are long-range, close attack, and auxiliary treatment water Taoist priests. These nine people are also a good monster-killing combination. And judging from their level, they are generally close to level 40; except for the lowest female Taoist priest in water, the others are above level 39, and the highest-level swordsman is actually a level 43 sword master. This seems to be the highest level I have seen, so I am very surprised. You must know that the highest level I have seen before is "Blood Drinking World", which is only level 42.
Moreover, looking at the swordsman called "Swordsman Xing", he had a completely unfamiliar face. From this, he should not have participated in this "World Martial Fighting Meeting", or he participated but his strength was not good, and he did not enter the top three. In this way, he would have nearly two months to improve his strength, so level 43 would not be so surprising. Perhaps, more players who did not participate in the "World Martial Fighting Meeting" enriched themselves in those more than two months, so the level of 43 is not surprising now.
The group of people came to the entrance of the valley with a smile. The swordsman named "Swordsman Walk" didn't know what he said. The whole team calmed down, and one of the archers was the scout, and more than everyone was looking forward. The remaining eight were led by three melee warriors, slowly thinking about moving into the "Medicine God Valley".
Seeing this situation, I thought for a moment and made up my mind to be a "fisherman" this time. Although these people could not defeat the monster "Ice and Fire Two-Headed Wolf", they could definitely cause serious damage to it. At that time, it was a situation of both sides being injured. As long as these players retreated, I could easily "reap the benefits of the fisherman", kill the "Ice and Fire Two-Headed Wolf", and get the inner alchemy I had always dreamed of.
To be honest, there are not many types of monsters in the "Medicine God Valley". So far, I have seen three closely. One is a snake with very small bodies, about the thickness of a human little finger, and less than a little bit long. Moreover, the name of this snake is also very strange, and it is called "Chong", which makes people feel inexplicable. However, their level is not low, most of them are around level 50, and they are a group monster. The "Chong" I encountered several times before were about twenty or thirty, so it was very difficult to deal with.
There is another type of monster that is a category of centipedes, called "fire-headed centipede". Its body is gray-black, and its head is bright red, with a level of about 60. In addition to carrying toxins, this "fire-headed centipede" can also cast a corrosive spell. As long as it is stained with a little black smoke it casts, the part will be quickly corroded. Although this monster does not live in groups like "Xiao", it is still difficult for both male and female to deal with the boss-level "fire-headed centipede" together.
The remaining one is of course the "ice and fire two-headed wolf".
Now, the first thing this group of players encountered was the largest number of "Huang"; and when they were fighting with "Huang", I also knew the origin of the name "Huang", because the more than 30 "Huang" sounds gathered together and formed a "Huang" sound, which made me sigh at the magic of the world.
One by one, one by one, flew from a dense grass to the scout archer. Although their speed was good, the archer's speed was faster. It was easy to avoid these "empty" like arrows, and then naturally began to fight back. However, I forgot that because these "empty" were too small, only one or two of the ten arrows could be shot at most. Even if they were shot, it would not be too much damage to the "empty" with hard skin.
Seeing this situation, the scout archer sounded an alarm, and the other eight people who rushed over joined the battle with "Chong". With three melee warriors as the vanguards and the Taoist priests behind them as the main force, and with cooperation with each other, although it took nearly an hour to completely eliminate these "Chong", none of them were injured. This achievement alone was enviable.
What's more, their leader, the sword master called "Swordsman Xing", has a very good sword technique. The sword energy swinged through the long sword in his hand can often kill a "empty" in just five or six strokes. Of course, every time he kills a "empty", "Swordsman Xing" needs to rest for a while to restore his internal strength. But even so, it can be seen that his internal strength is much higher than mine. It seems that I still need to exercise more!
After more than an hour, a group of nine people finally arrived at the small woods hidden in the hot springs. However, before they even approached the woods, an angry roar of "Ice and Fire Two-Headed Wolf" came from it, followed by the tall figure of "Ice and Fire Two-Headed Wolf" and the strange two-headed two-headed ones.
Under the command of "Swordsman Walk", the team quickly formed a battle formation. The warrior was in front and Taoist priests were behind, and the archers were hiding on the flanks. As soon as they met, they flew wildly to the "Ice and Fire Two-Headed Wolf". Under the dual effects of flames and tornadoes, the "Ice and Fire Two-Headed Wolf" was injured in an instant. Although it was not very serious, the "Ice and Fire Two-Headed Wolf" could not bear this cowardly aura. They directly spit out the two inner pills in their mouths, one left and one right flying towards the Taoist priests and archers behind the warriors. It seemed that this guy was not ordinary smart.
However, the group of players was not so easy to deal with. Seeing the inner alchemy coming, the two archers took out something from the "Qiankun Ring" at the same time, which was black and invisible. They threw the thing in their hands towards the inner alchemy in the air, and the black thing quickly expanded to form a large net that just covered the inner alchemy. Moreover, the heavy weight of the large net composed of metal materials brought the two inner alchemys to quickly fall to the ground.
The "Ice and Fire Two-Headed Wolf" who lost his inner alchemy immediately received a strong magic attack prepared by the Taoists, followed by a weapon filled with internal strength by the melee warriors.
Seeing all this, I was a little stupid. Is this okay? It seems that this is not the first time these people have come to the "Medicine God Valley". They also know how to deal with this "Ice and Fire Two-Headed Wolf". It seems that this "Ice and Fire Two-Headed Wolf" is in danger. Thinking of this, I feel anxious. This is the prey I have decided, and it is taken away by others. I am really unwilling to do so.
But my thoughts have not been completed, and the mutation has suddenly arisen. The attacked "Ice and Fire Two-Headed Wolf" roared strongly. The inner alchemy that had already fallen to the ground and was covered by a large metal mesh suddenly burst out with strong energy. One red and one white, instantly tore a big hole in the two metal mesh, flew out, and quickly rushed towards the two unprepared archers.
It may have been hated, so the attack of the inner alchemy is very strong. Although the two archers reacted well and had already moved when they saw the mutation, the inner alchemy, which had become extremely fast, easily caught up with the two archers. The strong energy burst out, freezing one of them into an ice sculpture, and the other turned into ashes after a scream.
The inner alchemy that successfully killed the opponent, each found his opponent and placed the target on the Taoist priests. He himself fought with three melee warriors without any disadvantage. On the contrary, the three "Swordsman Xing" lacked the auxiliary attacks of spells, and the attack power was greatly reduced. Only by relying on internal strength can they cause trauma to the "Ice and Fire Double-Headed Wolf". However, with limited internal strength, they would inevitably not be able to use all their internal strength at once, so the three fell into a hard battle.
In contrast to the hard support of the "Swordsman Walk" and the three people, it is okay for the four Taoists to deal with the inner alchemy of the "Ice and Fire Two-Headed Wolf", because although these two inner alchemy contain powerful energy, after the exaggeration just now, they have returned to the previous slow speed. At this speed, the Taoists can rely on their own skills to flexibly dodge and use their own magic to attack the inner alchemy at the same time. Although this attack does not have much effect.
I was enjoying this wonderful scene from a height of more than 100 meters, knowing that the development of things was going in the direction I hoped. However, the failure of those players was destined because the three warriors could not support much time in melee battles; while those Taoists had to attack the inner alchemy, because once the attack stopped, the inner alchemy could use spells to attack them. The Taoists' mana was always consumed, although they could rely on the equipment in their hands to delay the arrival of this time as much as possible.
Seeing that the overall situation was settled, I quietly came down from a remote place and began to set up my own "Dragon Trap". One hundred and eight mysterious "Zhurong Battle Souls" were arranged in the direction of Tiangang and Earth Demon. I just waited for a while to defeat those players and then lure it over.
I had just set up the "Dragon Trap" and a strong explosion came from the woods. It was probably the "Ice and Fire Two-Headed Wolf" who was furious. He drove Xiaobai to fly into the sky and saw it. Sure enough, the Taoist priests had difficulty supporting it, so they had to stop the magic attack and began to escape. Although the speed was not very fast, it was better than the inner alchemy. In a short period of time, they had already run out of the attack range of the inner alchemy and then ran away.
After the Taoist retreated, the three men of "Swordsman Xing" also attacked fiercely. Under the strong internal force, the "Ice and Fire Two-Headed Wolf" had to take a few steps back. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the three men retreated in three directions. Facing the scattered and fleeing enemies, the "Ice and Fire Two-Headed Wolf" did not know which one to pursue, but after just being stunned, the "Ice and Fire Two-Headed Wolf" took back the inner alchemy and chased the sword master "Swordsman Xing", because this guy had hurt him the most before.
However, the "Ice and Fire Two-Headed Wolf" obviously picked the wrong target. "Swordsman Xing" is not only strong, but also has a slow speed. He ran nearly 100 meters in the blink of an eye. After escaping from the valley entrance, the guy jumped on a white horse that had been prepared and left quickly. This situation made the "Ice and Fire Two-Headed Wolf" furious, but there was no way. Although the "Ice and Fire Two-Headed Wolf" has strong strength, its speed is definitely not its strength, so now it can only return to the valley in depression.
Looking at the "Ice and Fire Two-Headed Wolf" getting closer and closer to me, my heart was filled with joy. The "alloy arrow" in my hand was ready to go. The "Ten Thousand Arrows At One Time" once again made the "Ice and Fire Two-Headed Wolf" suffer. Especially in this unprepared situation, the original high speed and gravity acceleration of the "Alloy arrow" made one of the "Alloy arrows" penetrated into the front leg of the "Ice and Fire Two-Headed Wolf" and made the guy involuntarily let out two wolf roars that shook the sky.
The "Ice and Fire Two-Headed Wolf" has discovered me in the air, and with the "alloy arrow" on his front legs, he ran quickly towards me, which is amazing at its current speed. It seems that sometimes anger is also a way to stimulate potential!
I turned left and right, and finally introduced the "Ice and Fire Two-Headed Wolf" into the "Dragon Trap". As soon as I stepped in, the "Ice and Fire Two-Headed Wolf" immediately felt something strange, and his whole body bent up, and his limbs were pressing hard, moving out of the formation. But the "Dragon Trap" was not so easy to match. The powerful fire energy shot towards the "Ice and Fire Two-Headed Wolf" in the air from all directions, and a wall composed of flames formed at the edge of the "Dragon Trap".
Chapter completed!
