Chapter 305 The dark tide rises
When Xiao Jie turned around, he found that he was an old school lieutenant. He was wearing old iron armor and had gray hair on his temples. He was holding a long-handled sword in his hand. He looked quite aged.
"This military master, may I ask what the Yin tide is?"
The old lieutenant laughed, "The Yin tide is a unique natural phenomenon in Guiwu Ridge. Because the ghost energy here is too heavy and the Yin energy accumulates, every once in a while, the powerful Yin energy will wake up countless dead in battle." The skeletons and undead here, the armies that died here thousands of years ago, have been resurrected.
All ghosts and undead will fall into a violent state, and the entire Ghost Mist Ridge will enter the coverage area of the netherworld's atmosphere, and the living will be affected. At this time, you must find a safe place to hide as soon as possible, otherwise it will be very easy to be in danger.
Little brothers, I see that all of you are new faces. It must be your first time here, so I would like to remind you. ”
Xiao Jie thought to himself that the monsters were rioting?
"Thanks for the tip, Master Jun. I wonder how often this evil tide occurs?"
"It can take as long as ten days, or as short as seven days. It will definitely happen once, and it usually lasts for one or two hours. When the time comes, the Yin Qi dissipates, and it will naturally subside."
"When did the last yin wave occur?"
"Three days ago."
Xiao Jie thought to himself that it would be safe outside the city for at least four days.
However, Xiao Jie did not dare to be careless. After all, this was a game played with life, and he had to confirm again and again.
Not only does the NPC need to inquire, but it is also best to find a player to find out.
The four of them got off the city wall, but instead of rushing out of the city, they wandered around the pass.
At least find a player to understand the ecological environment here.
After wandering around for a long time, I finally found one, but it was a stall set up in front of the blacksmith shop.
Carefree (Scholar): Level 28. HP 460.
Hey, there is such a profession as a scholar? Xiao Jie was a little surprised.
"Friend, can you lend me a moment to speak?" Xiao Jie asked loudly.
Na Xiaoyao Wuyou responded immediately, "Of course, do you have anything to do?"
"I'm new here, and I want to inquire about some things. Why didn't my friend go out to level up in the city?"
Xiaoyao Wuyou said silently: "Didn't you see what my profession is? Scholar, at first glance, it seems that I have a profession with little combat effectiveness, and I don't have any teammates, how can I go out and die."
"That friend here is..."
"Just doing a small business, selling charms and collecting some materials. How about buying a few."
Sure enough, there was a sign hanging on his stall.
[Purification talisman for sale - 3000 yuan per piece, limited quantity, while stocks last. 】
Xiao Jie clicked on the stall, and there was only one item in the product column - the purification charm.
【Purification Talisman (Charm)
Use: Dispel a hex-like spell effect on a target.
Item introduction: The magical charm produced by the Chunyang Law Association can drive away ghosts and evil spirits, and bring good luck and avoid evil. This product is produced by the Chunyang Law Party and must be a high-quality product. 】
There are seven in total, and I don’t know where they came from.
Xiaoyao Wuyou promoted: "This is a good thing. The purification talisman can remove various negative states, whether it is possession, charm, loss of soul, or fear. It is especially effective for ghost spells. It can be said that in the ghost mist Ridge Adventure has upgraded a life-saving item. How about it? Can you buy a few?
The auction house won't even sell this thing, but it's a good thing. ”
A private message suddenly flashed across my mind.
Bai Ze: No need to waste money, I know how to purify.
Xiao Jie casually typed a reply.
Yinyue Suifeng: What if you are possessed? We have to stay for several days, so naturally the more prepared we are, the better.
In fact, Xiao Jie also has something similar, the sacred wood talisman, and it can be used repeatedly. However, the cooling time of the sacred wood talisman is 30 minutes, so it would be good to have another treasure close to you.
Of course, there is another reason. If you want to inquire about news, you have to spend some money.
"Give me two."
Xiao Jie said and traded two cards with the other party.
"Is there anything I need to pay attention to while exploring here?"
"Bring more purification charms. This place is full of ghosts and ghosts, and all kinds of curses are endless. Bringing an extra one can save your life sometimes." Xiaoyao Wuyou did not forget his original intention and kept selling products.
"Anything else?"
"By the way, the other thing is to pay attention to the Yin Tide. A wave will erupt every seven to ten days. At that time, all the undead will riot, which is very dangerous."
"Then when was the last time you had a yin wave?"
"Well, let me think about it, three or four days ago."
Xiao Jie felt relieved now. Both the NPC and the players said so, so everything must be safe.
"Thank you."
"Haha, thank you for anything. We are all players and want to live well. If you want to thank me, just take more care of my business."
"It's easy to talk about."
Xiao Jie simply bought two more, just in case, and gave one to each of Yeluo and I, Yuchengxian, before opening the door and walking towards the outside of the pass.
After walking out of the city gate and looking at the resurrected undead that could be seen everywhere on the ancient battlefield, the four of them finally started leveling up.
On this ancient battlefield, various undead monsters spawned, the most numerous of which were various resurrected soldiers. These rotten skeletal warriors were once soldiers of the empire, and now they stood up again under the influence of the netherworld's atmosphere.
They hold swords, guns, swords and halberds, and still retain some battle memories from their lifetimes. They will fight with the combat skills they had during their lifetimes - in other words, they can use combat skills.
Although he usually moves slowly and aimlessly, once he enters a battle, his attacks are quite fast and powerful, and you can vaguely see his fighting style before he was born.
And in addition to low-level miscellaneous soldiers such as various resurrection sword and shield soldiers, resurrection spearmen, and resurrection archers, you can also see advanced units such as resurrection heavy cavalry, resurrection dead soldiers, and resurrection empire swordsmen, although they are still mobs. Category, but just hearing the name is obviously stronger.
Occasionally, you can see elite monsters like the Resurrection Captain.
The goals of the four people are different. Xiao Jie wants to upgrade, I Want to Become an Immortal upgrades + comprehends the secrets, Ye Luo upgrades + earns merit points + improves weapon skills, and Bai Ze purely wants to improve weapon skills.
"Bai Ze, if you want to improve your weapon skills, it's best to pick resurrected soldiers to fight. As far as I know, blocking, parrying, and sword fighting can all improve weapon experience. The more skillful the fighting process, the more weapon experience will be improved. More, especially enemies using sword weapons, can gain double sword experience.”
"Really! How did you know?"
This matter is not even mentioned in the database of the Dragon Soaring Knights.
"Of course it's calculated." Xiao Jie replied calmly.
As a professional player, he is very sensitive to game data. Xiao Jie has often conducted various data tests since entering the game. This little trick was also discovered through continuous testing.
When we first fought against the Lost Soul Bandits, the bandits with knives were given significantly more experience with sword weapons.
"Okay, if you encounter a skeleton soldier with a sword, I'll deal with it. Hey - there's one over there. You guys help me sweep the formation first, and I'll get a feel for it first."
Bai Ze listened to Xiao Jie's reminder and directly pulled a skeleton swordsman to challenge him.
It was a skeleton swordsman covered in tattered cloth, with a rusty long sword in his hand. He seemed much weaker than the skeleton soldiers generally wearing armor around him.
Skeleton Swordsman (Resurrected Warrior): Level 26. HP 460.
The thin look makes it look very weak.
However, when he got his hands on it, Bai Ze realized what it meant to be weird.
As soon as he entered the opponent's warning range, the skeleton swordsman immediately looked towards him, raised his sword in his hand, and actually made a duel etiquette gesture.
Bai Ze also understands the sense of ritual and uses the same action - salute.
Slash with the wind! Swipe, the sword light flashed, and the skeleton swordsman followed the sword and stabbed him with steps.
Bai Ze quickly rolled sideways to avoid the frontal attack.
Combat skill—Triple Waves! ! Swipe, swipe, swipe, three swords slashed out in a row.
The skeletal swordsman blocked the left and right, and his combat technique was to seal the door and the house! Dang, Dang, Dang, three swords were blocked in a row.
Taking advantage of Bai Ze's sword move, he suddenly stabbed Bai Ze with his backhand sword.
Parry and counterattack!
Then there was another move called Riding the Wind!
Bai Ze hurriedly rolled again, but this time he failed to grasp the timing of the roll. He was stabbed by a sword, and his blood volume was suddenly reduced a lot.
"Damn, how can this monster be so fierce?" Bai Ze rolled and crawled away from him.
I thought it was just a little monster, and I killed it easily, but I didn't expect that the skeleton swordsman's set of gorgeous sword strikes made him scurry, rolling and crawling.
Xiao Jie felt a headache from seeing this. He probably didn't use melee skills for a long time, and this method was too unfamiliar. "Do you need our help?"
"No, no, no, I have to fight it to death today."
It's not that Bai Ze is stubborn, he doesn't have any weapons experience to help. In order to improve your weapon skills, you must win in single combat.
Xiao Jie watched the battle for a while, watching Bai Ze gradually regain his rhythm, and then summoned Da Ju and prepared to start leveling.
With a click, Bai Ze finally killed the skeleton swordsman and lost one-third of his own blood.
"Huh, it's too dangerous. It's so different from using Taoism to level up."
It's not easy to kill this kind of undead monster using Taoist magic. It can be done in just a few bursts of Explosive Fire Talisman, and there is no need to get close at all.
Not like now, the beating was so embarrassing.
"Why don't you give up? It's not bad to advance to a second-level legal profession."
"No, it's too different. If I advance to the level of sword master and learn to fly with a sword, I will be a high-end player in the future. If I advance to a second-level magic system, I will be an ordinary magic master. That’s all, I can only hug the guild’s lap.”
Xiao Jie can understand this. Although the legal profession is powerful, it is not invincible. Especially when there is a lack of human shields, it is still very dangerous for one person to farm monsters. You can only find someone to form a team, or join a big guild.
But it will be different if you advance to the sword master level. Flying with a sword is equivalent to being able to fight three-dimensionally. The world is vast, and you can play the game by yourself.
The gaming experience is completely different.
Unless you want to lay down and retire or simply join a big guild, sword master is the best choice.
"Okay, keep working hard, we're starting to practice."
"Don't worry, I've already found some feeling. I think I used a sword to eat before I learned Taoism."
Here Bai Ze carefully singled out the skeleton swordsmen one by one.
Over there, I wanted to become an immortal, but I just opened and closed. I just pulled a bunch of skeleton soldiers and opened Wushuang.
He is wearing heavy armor, and his defense power is as high as 240. If an ordinary sword cuts on his body, it will just scratch his body. Coupled with his high toughness, it is completely a fighting style. After a few hits, once he finds the rhythm, then It’s the rhythm of crazy harvesting.
The powerful toughening ability means that once these bones are beaten hard, there is no chance to fight back.
When I wanted to become an immortal, I also took a Daigo pill, activated the tenth-level mountain-opening ax technique, and harvested like crazy.
Not to mention, although this mountain-opening ax technique is only an intermediate martial arts with simple and unsophisticated moves, it is surprisingly useful against these resurrected soldiers.
Sweeping all the way, the blood bottle consumption is a bit high, after all, every time you start, you have to take a few blows.
His baby wolf spirit was also summoned, wandering around, waiting for action.
Xiao Jie took Da Ju and started to practice leveling.
Ye Luo summoned zombies.
I have to say that these monsters are quite powerful, and almost all of the skeleton soldiers can use combat skills. Not to mention the ghosts who cast all kinds of curses.
If the four of them didn't have the ability to restrain ghosts, it would be really difficult to fight.
If it were an ordinary physical chopper team, it would probably be very difficult even if they were above level 30 and equipped with spells.
The four of them each practice their own way, but they always help each other and run to their teammates when in danger.
If you are cursed, Bai Ze can exorcise the evil spirits. If you attract too many monsters, you can collectively release secrets.
Pay attention to replenishing blood volume at any time.
There is a tacit understanding of cooperation.
I have been practicing like this for more than half an hour——
Suddenly there was a flash of golden light behind me - it was my wish to become an immortal and I had gained something. His mountain-breaking ax technique had been maxed out for a long time. Before, I just didn't have enough comprehension to achieve enlightenment. Now I have 20 comprehension levels, and I finally achieved enlightenment.
I was overjoyed to become an immortal.
"Hahaha, Brother Feng, I have an epiphany! Is this what it feels like to have an epiphany? It's so handsome."
"How's it going? What skills did you suddenly realize?"
I wanted to become an immortal without answering, but directly released my skills.
I wanted to become a fairy and rushed towards a few monsters. When I was still ten steps away, I suddenly grabbed the giant ax with both hands and started to accumulate strength on the spot. The giant ax in my hand seemed to be extremely heavy.
Mysterious meaning - Wu Ding opened the mountain!
The skeleton soldiers immediately rushed towards him.
One second, two seconds, three seconds - just when several skeleton soldiers rushed forward.
An ax suddenly swung out - boom!
-
489 (execution attack)!
This ax directly smashed the skeletal warrior who bore the brunt of the attack into pieces, killing him instantly. Several people around him were also blown away by the shock wave and fell down.
“It looks very fierce.”
"Hahaha, okay, okay."
"Is there any hegemonic effect?"
"Brother Feng really has a good eye." I wanted to become an immortal and then introduced the effect of the secret.
【Wuding Kaishan (esoteric meaning)
Use: Enter the charging state, which lasts for up to five seconds. After the charging is completed, it launches a ferocious crushing blow and causes 30% impact damage to a small area around it. Every second of charging, the weapon damage caused is additionally increased. 100%, up to 500% improvement.
Skill consumption: 150 points of internal energy. 150 points of physical strength.
Note 1: When you charge up, you will gain a secondary hegemony effect and your toughness will increase by 500 points.
Note 2: After you charge for five seconds, this attack ignores the target's defense. When parried or blocked, it will cause 1000 points of toughness damage to the target. 】
Xiao Jie immediately made his own evaluation.
A very powerful skill, very useful against heavy targets with rough skin and thick flesh.
But if you are dealing with a flexible enemy, it may be difficult to hit.
Five seconds of charging, unless the opponent rushes up, it will be too difficult to hit the target. You must grasp the timing of the shot and start charging in advance before the battle.
It's best to deal with brainless monsters like skeleton warriors and zombies.
Generally speaking, it is a PVE-oriented skill.
"Hahaha, it turns out that the secret is still handsome!" I wanted to become an immortal and used the secret for the first time, and I was very excited.
Use it sparingly, the internal energy consumption of this thing is terrible.
"I know, I know." I said, I want to become an immortal, and I used the Five-Ding Kaishan move again, and once again dropped a skeleton spearman in seconds, and was knocked down by the way. The skeleton spearman was blown into pieces because of the execution special effect. Piles of debris.
This feeling of killing an enemy with one strike of an ax really makes me feel like a fairy.
"Take it easy, I can't even earn merit points if you act like this." Ye Luo couldn't help complaining.
But she was killing monsters and burying the corpses.
"Received, received." I wanted to become an immortal, but I followed the good advice, and immediately stopped using the secret technique and replaced it with a newly learned intermediate ax technique - the thundering ax technique.
But I have just learned this trick, and if I want to suddenly understand the secret, I will have to do it much later.
Xiao Jie also casually killed the mobs.
Use the Hanyue Sword to deal with skeletons and zombies, and use the Xuanming Sword to cut through ghosts instantly.
Those elusive ghosts are indeed full of curses.
Some can be possessed by ghosts, some can cast curses, and some can be blinded by ghosts.
However, there was something magical about Xiao Jie who missed him from start to finish.
Although the effect of Shen Gui Yi Pi is a certain probability of immunity, Xiao Jie feels that as long as it is not a powerful ghost spell above the elite level, it can be ignored with a high probability.
"I've upgraded!" I wanted to become an immortal and was the first to successfully upgrade.
However, before he had time to celebrate - "Save me!" Bai Ze suddenly shouted and was chased by several skeleton swordsmen and ran away.
He shrunk to an inch and ducked behind Xiao Jie.
"Let me come!" I wanted to become an immortal and rushed forward immediately.
Wuding - open the mountain!
boom! He directly shouldered the damage of several mobs and destroyed them all.
The wind and the remaining clouds!
Xiao Jie used a big move to roll over a few monsters that had just climbed up, and took advantage of the situation to complete the harvest.
"Huh, I'm scared to death. Fortunately, I have you." Bai Ze said in shock.
In order to increase his weapon experience, he didn't even recruit the heavenly soldiers. He accidentally attracted too many monsters and had to run away.
This is really life-threatening.
"How's it going? How's your weapon experience going?" Xiao Jie asked while finishing his attack. .
"Not bad, not bad. I gained more than 900 weapon experience in such a short time."
"How far is it from being promoted to a master of swordsmanship?"
"Well, there's still 16,800 left." Bai Ze's voice suddenly weakened again.
"What about the experience value? How much has it increased?"
"3%."
It takes 30,000 weapon experience to upgrade expert swordsmanship to master swordsmanship.
It takes 50,000 weapon experience to upgrade Master Swordsmanship to Grandmaster Swordsmanship.
Xiao Jie calculated it, but became a little worried about Bai Ze's speed. It was obviously not enough. Even with Ye Luo and I Want to Become an Immortal to help share the experience, Bai Ze's upgrade speed was still a bit fast. At this speed, he might be able to upgrade his swordsmanship to the master level. It will be level 30 halfway through.
Bai Ze was also a little helpless. The level was too high and it was a problem. "Then what else can Brother Feng do? You said you were very confident before."
"Of course, there is always a way." Xiao Jie was about to elaborate, but suddenly paused - "Wait a minute, what's the sound?"
Several people immediately stopped talking and listened carefully.
In the distance, a bell sounded from the direction of the town.
Dang——Dang——Dang——
It's a bell! The tide is coming!
Xiao Jie turned around and looked in the direction behind him. On the desolate ancient battlefield, countless skeletal arms were emerging from the ground. The sky seemed to become darker, and lonely ghosts appeared one after another, appearing and disappearing in the sky. Crying and whirling in the middle.
The bells were still ringing, but were soon covered up by the roars of the undead and the cries of ghosts.
"Run!" Xiao Jie shouted, taking the lead and running away.
