Chapter 328 The Sword Demon’s Plan to Slay the Dragon
Jiu Jianxian just looked at his schoolmate kneeling there, feeling more and more bored.
What's even worse is that his character's condition is getting worse and worse.
After all, without eating or drinking for three days, the satiety level has long since returned to zero, and the physical strength has been slowly depleted.
It's not that he doesn't want to eat, but he is kneeling here. He can't eat and drink while kneeling. How can he show his sincerity?
So in the past three days, his school color didn't eat any food, and he relied on his long stamina bar, physical fitness, and endurance attributes to carry on.
But obviously after three days, it has reached its limit.
Jiu Jianxian was hesitating whether to eat something secretly to avoid starving to death.
His screen suddenly became blurry - there was an additional DEBUFF above his head.
Delirium: Due to the lack of sleep, rest, food and water for a long time, your spirit gradually becomes unclear, and your mental attributes are -1.
Fortunately, it only reduced 1 point of energy, and it was temporary. You can recover by eating something later.
However, Jiujianxian was obviously a little too optimistic. After a while, this DEBUFF was stacked again, and the effect became Spirit -2.
This DEBUFF will be stacked one layer every half an hour, and the stacking speed is getting faster and faster. Before midnight, it has already stacked seven layers.
Jiu Jianxian looked anxious. What would happen if his energy returned to zero? He wouldn't pass out, would he?
Suddenly, an old voice rang in his ear.
Mysterious voice: Hahahahaha, idiot, it’s useless even if you kneel to death, that hypocrite Long Yuan doesn’t care about the life or death of people like you.
Hey, what's going on?
Jiu Jianxian was stunned for a moment. Yes, that voice was real, and it was even recorded directly in the message column.
Could it be - an unexpected incident!
Jiujianxian was extremely excited. He had heard of this thing, but after playing it for so long, it had never been triggered.
After thinking for a while, Jiu Jianxian said into the microphone: "Senior, who are you?"
Mysterious voice: You want to learn peerless swordsmanship, right? Hahaha, I can teach you.
"Where are you, senior? Why can't I see you?"
"See the pool in front of you? Jump down."
"Ah..."
The pool was not far from the thatched cottage. It looked deep and dark, and I didn't know what was in it.
The sound was mysterious. What if it was a monster trying to seduce him... No, how could there be a monster in Hero Villa?
Jiujianxian gritted his teeth. First he stood up and ate a few chicken drumsticks to regain his strength. As the unconscious DEBUFF disappeared, the voice immediately disappeared.
Fortunately, the instructions were given, and he jumped directly into the pool.
After searching in the pool for a while, he found a dark cave entrance under the shadow of a huge boulder. The Jiujianxian swam in with full vigilance and swam along the underwater passage for a while, when a light suddenly came from above. , as soon as I showed up, I saw a stone secret room.
The secret room seemed to be a prison, made of huge rocks. Jiu Jianxian searched all the way, fearing that there were any hidden weapons and traps. Fortunately, there was no ambush in the secret room. Soon he reached the end of the secret room, only to see ten people. Several huge iron chains made of black iron locked a crazy old man with white hair and beard tightly.
Seeing the old man's name, Jiujianxian was immediately ecstatic.
‘Sword Demon’ Dugu Xiaotian (Sword Master) is a level 54 expert. HP 799/5700.
There is also a constant DEBUFF hanging on his head - the meridians are completely cut off.
[The muscles and veins are severed: Due to the severed muscles and veins, this unit has lost all its martial arts and is no longer able to use its internal strength to fight. 】
Although all his martial arts skills were lost, his powerful aura still made Jiujianxian feel like he was facing a formidable enemy.
"Senior, was it you who was talking to me before?"
The old man opened his eyes suddenly, and a bloodthirsty red light flashed in his deep, turbid eyes. The red light flashed away, as if it was just an illusion.
A hint of madness appeared on the old face.
Dugu Xiaotian: "If you want to learn peerless swordsmanship, you can't do it with that old loser Long Yuan - show me your sword."
The Jiujianxian was stunned for a moment. Long Yuan had said before that his sword's bloody aura was too strong and was not suitable for practicing the swordsmanship that Long Yuan mastered.
At this time, the other party wanted to see his sword again, which somewhat puzzled him. However, I also sensed a clue. It seemed that these outsiders could discern some of the player's characteristics from the player's sword wounds.
The Wine Sword Immortal decisively pulled out the epic sword - the Blood and Bone Demon Sword.
"A good sword, a good sword. It is indeed a sharp blade that makes even that old man Long Yuan feel uneasy. It is a pity that this sword has not yet drunk the blood, the sword soul has not awakened, and the edge is not yet good. It still needs to be tempered."
If these words refer to anything, they seem to be talking about swords, and they also seem to refer to Jiujianxian. Jiujianxian is not stupid at all. He immediately hit the snake and followed it with a stick.
“Senior, but you don’t know how to temper yourself?”
"Killing, the sword is a powerful weapon, how can you sharpen it if you don't kill? Besides, I can feel that the sword in your hand is very hungry, eager to kill, thirsty for blood, feed it, as long as it is full Drink blood, haha, the sword soul will surely awaken.”
Jiujianxian was unconvinced and said: "This junior has killed a lot of people."
Isn't it? After playing the game for so long, I have killed not only 5,000 but also 3,000 humanoid monsters.
Unexpectedly, the sword demon sneered, "Humph, who are you killing? What you want to kill is a person of flesh and blood like you. Maybe you have killed something, but deep down in your heart, you have never If you treat them like the same kind and don't have the desire to kill, how can you refine your sword soul? Go ahead, kill, kill, let your sword drink blood. If you want to practice peerless swordsmanship, this is your test.
After you finish tempering the blood sword, I will naturally teach you the real peerless swordsmanship. ”
System prompt: Trigger the adventure mission [Trial of the Sword Demon].
Mission description: You met a mysterious old man who was imprisoned in the underwater prison of Hero Villa. The other party asked you to complete the killing trial, let the sword in your hand drink blood, and promised to teach you peerless swordsmanship after completion.
Mission goal: Accumulate 10 kill points.
Mission reward:? ? ? ?
10 kill points...that is to say, ten players need to be killed?
This time, even though I am a very experienced Jiujianxian, I was frightened.
He left the pool and returned to the ground. He looked around and saw that no one noticed what he was doing, so he hurriedly dodged people secretly.
Returning to the resting place, Jiujianxian was confused for a moment. He had never done anything like killing people in the game. After all, he knew the consequences of dying in the game.
Not to mention killing ten people...
But this is a peerless swordsmanship! If you can learn it, you can join the ranks of first-line masters, a real man of the hour.
Why don't you ask Yin Yue Suifeng for advice?
Kneeling down was what the other party had in mind. Although it was a mistake, it triggered the plot of the peerless swordsmanship. Maybe he really had something to do with it.
But it’s too late today, and he’s probably offline a long time ago, so I’d better go find him tomorrow.
————————
In fact, contrary to Jiujianxian's guess, Xiao Jie was not offline at this moment. He was sitting in the inn room, taking inventory of his inner elixir inventory.
Although he has advanced to the level of Demon Refiner and theoretically has the upper limit of the fourth-level magic system, it is only a theory.
Before he enriched his spell pool, he was still a physics professional.
The price of this magic is very expensive, especially the really powerful magic.
Even if he can obtain sorcery by refining the inner elixir, the inner elixir is still valuable.
Xiao Jie looked at the pile of rubbish inner elixirs in the bag, including the inferior wolf demon inner elixir, the inferior snake demon inner elixir, the inferior python spirit inner elixir, the inferior cow demon inner elixir...
Damn it, everything is deteriorated.
They were all caused by elite monsters.
He has consumed hundreds of points of spiritual energy in the past few days, and he just needs to replenish it. Let's see what these inner elixirs can refine.
Thinking in his mind, Xiao Jie right-clicked and started refining.
Thanks to the Demon Refining Art, Xiao Jie can now directly eat the inner elixir and use his own Dantian to refine the spiritual energy, demon power, and even essence in it.
System prompt: Successfully refining the Deteriorated Wolf Demon Inner Elixir, you have obtained 97 spiritual energy points.
System prompt: You have gained 475 experience points.
System prompt: You have mastered 0 sorcery skills.
System prompt: You have obtained 3 points of wolf spirit spirit, and you have started a spirit accumulation progress [Wolf Transformation], the current progress is 3%.
I didn't realize any magic... again.
Another degenerated snake demon inner elixir was swallowed.
System prompt: You have gained 104 spiritual energy points.
System prompt: You have gained 502 experience points.
System prompt: You have mastered 0 sorcery skills.
System prompt: You have obtained 4 points of snake spirit spirit, and you have started a spirit accumulation progress [Giant Snake Incarnation]. The current progress is 4%.
Xiao Jie studied this essence system carefully.
Once the essence is accumulated to 100%, he will gain the ability to transform into a monster. Similar types of monster spirits can be combined to accumulate progress.
For example, wolves, dogs, wolves, and jackals can be classified into one category.
Carp, catfish, loach and silver carp can be classified into one category.
Tigers, leopards and lions can be classified into one category.
Venomous snakes and pythons can be classified into the same category.
Of course, if similar types of monster spirits are merged and accumulated, the resulting monster shape will have both the characteristics and appearance of the merged monster clan.
If all the wolves absorbed are white wolves, then it will probably be a white wolf. If it is a black wolf, it will be a black wolf. If there are wolves of various colors, then...
Xiao Jie imagined the picture of a spotted wolf in his mind. Well, if conditions permit, it would be better to be more pure.
Another advantage of obtaining a complete essence is that casting the demon's native spell corresponding to the essence can gain additional power enhancement.
Each essence accumulation progress can accommodate all the demon essences of the same type. This is somewhat good news, otherwise it would be difficult to collect the essences.
Of course, you can also not merge them, and collect each type separately, but in that case, it will be very laborious to accumulate. In order to obtain the ability to transform into monsters as soon as possible, Xiao Jie planned to merge and accumulate.
Even if they can be merged, Xiao Jie still has a headache. Xiao Jie absorbed seven rubbish inner elixirs in one breath, and his experience value increased by thousands of points. However, he didn't understand any of the magic skills. Instead, he opened up the accumulation progress of five essences. Not even 10%.
Because the quality of the inner elixir is too low, the essence given is only in the single digits. It will be a long time to accumulate it to 100%.
It seems that one must absorb the Great Demon's inner elixir in order to refine the magic and quickly accumulate essence.
Come on then.
Xiao Jie thought and swallowed the 'Fish Demon Transformation Dragon Inner Pill' in one gulp.
Sure enough, the BOSS-level inner elixir was different. As soon as it started to be refined, a strange phenomenon immediately appeared, and the phantom of a golden-scaled fish dragon appeared around the body, struggling and roaring, as if inside the inner elixir. As if the remaining power of the demon spirit was unwilling to disappear, there was a faint roar of the dragon in the air.
But as the Demon Refining Art continued, the golden-scaled fish dragon faded away and was eventually completely absorbed by him.
System prompt: You refined [Fish Demon Transformation Jiao Neidan], and you gained 2012 points of spiritual energy.
System prompt: Due to the talent [Demon Spirit Manifestation], you have gained 3 points of spiritual attributes.
System prompt: You have gained 3297 experience points.
System prompt: You have mastered 2 magic skills [The Art of Flowing Dragon: Tide Rising] and [The Technique of Walking Flood Dragon: Waves Reaching the Sky].
System prompt: You have obtained 32 points of dragon essence, and you have started a legendary essence accumulation progress [Dragon Incarnation]. The current progress is 32%.
Sure enough, the BOSS's inner elixir was extraordinary. He was able to do a third of it, and he also mastered two magic arts.
And it seems that this dragon incarnation is more advanced than the previous ones. It is the so-called legendary essence.
Probably because dragons are more legendary than ordinary monsters.
Xiao Jie checked the two newly acquired magic skills again.
[The art of moving dragons: Tide Rising (natal magic: third level)
Use: Summon a tide to flood the current area, change the surrounding terrain, and create a temporary water area within 300 meters, lasting for 10 minutes (the duration will be affected by environmental factors).
Use cost: 100 mana. Limit one use per day.
Introduction to the magic: The unique natal magic of the dragon clan can freely control flowing water, control rivers, and even overturn rivers and seas. 】
[The art of moving dragons: Lang Tongtian (natal magic: second level)
Use: Summon a huge wave to send a target flying into the sky and knocking them off balance. When used in water, the power is increased by 100%.
Use cost: 30 mana. Cooling time 20 seconds. 】
Looking at these two magic arts and the dragon essence, Xiao Jie fell into deep thought.
With so many spirit bars, you must make a choice. You can't absorb all the inner alchemy. After all, once you absorb 8,000 spiritual energy, your Qi refining skills will be upgraded.
He didn't plan to face the real person in Hongchen until he was ready. (Now it seems that the spiritual energy consumed every day is good news for accumulating more magic.)
In this case, you must make a choice.
It's best to use limited resources to fill up an essence bar as much as possible.
The choice of this spirit is very important. After all, the incarnations of monsters are also strong and weak. There is no balance in this game at all, so the distinction between strong and weak is even more exaggerated. Maybe the combat effectiveness of garbage monster incarnations is not as good as that of ordinary physics professions. , a powerful demon beast can take the form of a single BOSS...
Xiao Jie then listed several goals for this spirit's route.
1. Flying. It's best if this transformation can fly.
2. Fight. The fighting power must be fierce, but obviously it is not enough to be a wolf, dog, python, or at least a beast like a liger.
3. Escape. It is best to have strong life-saving escape capabilities.
4. Control the field. Have control.
5. AOE. It's best to be able to AOE so that you can transform and fight when leveling up later.
6. A particularly powerful natal magic...
Of course, there is no need to hit all six points. Anyway, overall, he will definitely gain a lot of monster transformation abilities in the future. Other abilities can be added later, but the stronger the better is definitely the first one.
This dragon is a good choice. If it is a dragon, it should be able to fly. Its combat ability is unquestionable. It can fly...and can swim, which is not bad.
Field Control - Is this Lang Tongtian the perfect field control skill?
AOE - Not to mention that.
The natal magic - the dragon-walking technique is not too weak. Of course, if you can collect the dragon's inner elixir later and obtain the dragon's natal magic, it will be even more powerful. It is estimated that the dragon must have magical powers. The so-called The wind follows the tiger, the cloud follows the dragon, and the tiger has the wind-calling technique. If the dragon is to give it a thunderstorm, isn't it too much?
However, the inner elixir of dragons and dragons is not easy to deal with. Needless to say, dragons are all mythical creatures. No matter how weak the dragon is, it is still a top-notch existence. This can be seen even when the founding mission requires dragon slaying.
Jiao is a little easier to deal with, but it is rare, and it is much stronger than ordinary monsters. For example, the number one on the Canglin Prefecture bounty list is the Green Jiao King.
So far, he has only seen one dragon BOSS that was catalyzed by eating a demon fruit.
Let's go to the auction house and have a look.
Xiao Jie immediately came to the auction house. After searching, he was dumbfounded. There were many demon elixirs in the entire auction house, but there was only one inner elixir of Jiaolong.
Poisonous Dragon Inner Elixir: Auction price is 999 taels.
What the hell... I have saved dozens of taels from killing monsters in the past two days, and I have earned another dozen taels from selling cooking. Including the original family wealth, it is only less than 200 taels.
Well, I'd better do it myself.
Xiao Jie left the auction house depressed.
How about gathering people to kill a few dragon bosses? It's almost unlocked.
Just thinking about it.
Suddenly a private message appeared in the message bar.
Don’t use Qianlong: Brother Suifeng, are you there?
Yinyue Suifeng: Yes, do you have anything to do with me?
Do not use Hidden Dragon: It is about slaying the dragon and founding the country. In the past few days, we have finally obtained reliable information about the dragon. The plan to slay the dragon is about to begin. I know you have your own action plan, but I still hope you can participate. An action is crucial to the guild. The president decided to gather troops from six towns, and with the entire main force dispatched, every combat force is valuable, especially for a master like you.
Xiao Jie's eyes lit up and he thought, is this a coincidence?
Yinyue Suifeng: No problem, count me in.
Do not use Qianlong: Really?
Yinyue Suifeng: Hahaha, of course I have to give Brother Qianlong his face. By the way, can you tell me what kind of dragon you want to kill this time and where it is?
Do not use Hidden Dragon: Northern Mingzhou - Falling Snow Valley is a seriously injured white dragon, its rank is not low, but because it is seriously injured, it is within the range that the guild can capture, so it is a perfect target.
Xiao Jie was stunned, Beimingzhou—Luoxue Valley? Such a coincidence?
Isn't this the target that the Qinglong Society wants to hunt?
His mind was spinning, this was a good opportunity for him to take revenge, but did the president and others know that the Blue Dragon Society was also plotting against this dragon? If you don’t know, wouldn’t it be...
Xiao Jie suddenly felt a little confused. He knew that the best option was to pretend not to know, and then follow the guild to fish in troubled waters, profit from the chaos, and maybe get revenge on the way.
With the Dragon Soaring Knights as a backer, even the Blue Dragon Society is no big deal. It is the best choice to rely on its strength.
But after hesitating for a moment, he still sighed.
No, this matter must be spoken out, otherwise many people will die.
Frankly speaking, Longxing Tianxia was quite interesting to him. He was given various benefits and a lot of demon elixirs. He was haunted by demon spirits, and they directly sent high-level magicians to help dispel them.
Moreover, he requested that he be able to move freely without being restricted by the rules of the association, but also enjoy the treatment of core personnel, and finally Long Xingtianxia agreed.
There is no reason or reason to hide this information.
After thinking for a moment, Xiao Jie typed.
Yinyue Suifeng: As far as I know, the Qinglong Society is also interested in this dragon.
Do not use Qianlong: What! There is such a thing! How did you know?
Yinyue Suifeng: I had an enemy who was from the Qinglong Society. He sent an assassin to hunt me down, but I killed him. The assassin told me before he died in order to survive.
Don’t use Qianlong: Wait a minute, I have to tell the president.
A moment later——
Long Xingtianxia: Brother Suifeng, please tell me carefully what happened before. It’s not that I don’t believe you. This matter is a big one and I must fully understand whether the source of the information is reliable.
Yinyue Suifeng: Make a call, typing is too strenuous.
Longxingtianxia: Okay.
After a while, the two got on the phone.
"Say it, brother Suifeng, don't let anything fall behind."
Long Xingtianxia's voice was quite solemn, and it was obvious that he attached great importance to this information.
Xiao Jie then explained what happened.
"So this is how this information came about. I dare not say it is 100% correct, but judging from the situation of the female assassin at the time, it should be true. Otherwise, she would not have known that there was a dragon hidden in Luoxue Valley. President, you How did you know this information? I always feel that it is a bit too coincidental that our guild and Qinglong will get this information at the same time.”
Long Xingtianxia did not hide anything, "I bought this information from an intelligence broker. You are right, it is really a coincidence. Either this intelligence broker sold more than one room for one room, or - someone is plotting behind the scenes. I have to investigate our two guilds carefully.”
"But then again, why do you want to say it? Since you have an enemy in the Qinglong Guild, wouldn't it be better for you to keep silent and make a fortune? You can take advantage of the two guilds to take advantage of the fight to avenge you. ”
"Haha, President, are you looking down on me too much?" Xiao Jie didn't explain anything, but just said something sarcastic to Long Xingtianxia.
A real man does something and doesn't do something. Although he is eager for revenge, he is not unscrupulous.
Seemingly feeling Xiao Jie's dissatisfaction and magnanimity, Long Xingtianxia sighed slightly: "Sorry, being the president is stressful, and it is inevitable that I will think the worst of others. My fault."
"It doesn't matter. I understand the guild president, and I might think the same way, but this matter is a personal grudge between me and Liu Qiang. I won't drag the two guilds into a bloody battle just for revenge - then President, what are your plans?”
"I have to convene the senior management to discuss it carefully tomorrow. Brother Suifeng, please come to the meeting too."
Xiao Jie hesitated for a moment, but did not refuse.
This kind of meeting must be an internal high-level meeting. The other party inviting you is a kind of trust and affirmation of yourself.
"I, I will definitely be there when the time comes."
"I will pull you into the conference room at nine o'clock tomorrow morning."
