Chapter 30 Demon Killing
Xiao Jie thought for a moment.
Obviously, the rewards corresponding to these three options are different.
The first one can undoubtedly get the full reward, but it is also the most difficult. Only he and I, Yu Chengxian, can challenge the tree demon spawn. It will be dangerous if that thing turns out to be a big monster.
The second one is relatively safer, but the rewards are also discounted. According to the old villager, there are only equipment rewards but no monetary rewards.
The third one is not dangerous at all, but the reward is also the least. It only has a monetary reward. It is also the safest, and there is no need to take action at all.
"Brother Suifeng, which one should you choose?"
"Choose two."
Xiao Jie gritted his teeth and said that his heart was bleeding when he thought that the top-level mission reward had become second-level.
One thousand copper coins, that means you have to cut down many trees and herd sheep to earn it.
But there is nothing you can do about losing money. As he said before, taking chances is the biggest trap in playing this kind of game. It must not be allowed. Everything should be done on the basis of safety.
I immediately clicked on the second option.
"The old village elder should send some militiamen to go with me, just in case."
The old man nodded, "Well, that makes sense, so let's do it. I have a warrant here. You two can go to the iron captain to dispatch some militiamen to go with you."
[System prompt: Obtain the mission item [Village Chief’s Warrant]. 】
Xiao Jie glanced at the warrant in the bag.
I thought there should be no danger this way.
Let's go, get it done before it gets dark yet.
It's already past three in the afternoon, and it will get dark if it drags on any longer.
When the two came to the militia team's school grounds, they saw Tie Qianli training a dozen of his militiamen.
The militiamen in Ginkgo Village are generally equipped with leather armor and are armed with swords, shields, spears, bows and arrows and other weapons. Their levels are generally around level five or six.
Xiao Jie took out the warrant and directly explained his intention to Tie Qianli.
"Captain Iron, the village chief has an order, please dispatch a few militiamen to work with us on official business."
Tie Qianli took the order, looked at it, and nodded, "I understand, these are my good men. You two can choose whatever you want, but my men all have families and families. If you want to fight with the two Let's go on an adventure together. I'll give you some settlement money before I can give the order. It's not much, just 500 cash per person.
The two of you can choose as many people as you need and pay by head. "
It turns out that the fee for deploying militiamen is flexible. The more militiamen are mobilized, the higher the fee will be.
But it costs money anyway, so Xiao Jie doesn't want to save money. Two thousand coins can be used to hire four people.
Now I will look at each one one by one.
Feng Qisheng: Sword and Shield Militia: Level 5, skill: defense with shield.
Teng Qizhi: Spear Militia: Level 6: Skill: Thrust.
Duan Leyue: Sword and Shield Militia: Level 6: Skill: Spin Slash.
Wang Yidu: Archer Militia: Level 5: Skill: Continuous Shooting.
Liu Liangyu: Archer militia...
Unexpectedly, this village is not big, but there are quite a few militiamen, with a dozen people to choose from.
Xiao Jie did not hesitate and chose the Sword and Shield Militia.
When it comes to cutting down trees, spears, bows and arrows will definitely not work, and a knife is more suitable.
"Brother Chengxian, let us each contribute another 200 coins, and you go buy four hatchets."
"Huh? Why."
Xiao Jie explained, "The attack power of the lancet is only 14 chops, and the damage is too low. I am not sure. Although the attack power of the hatchet is only 12 chops, the hatchet has a [wood-cutting] weapon special effect, which has 50 % enhanced damage, the tree demon will use it right now, it’s not a small amount of money anyway, don’t you think so.”
"I understand. I'll do it right away. I'll just pay for it."
Xiao Jie was not polite, "That's okay, go quickly, let's meet at the back of the mountain."
Ten minutes later, the two men led four militiamen to the ginkgo tree in the back mountain.
All four militiamen put on hatchets.
Looking at the ginkgo tree in front of him, Xiao Jie thought to himself that it would be great if there was fire. Fire can defeat wood. Fire spells are definitely useful against this thing. But this kind of thing is just something to think about. I'm afraid I won't have the chance to learn spells in a short time.
"You guys, get ready. If there is any movement on this tree, cut it down immediately." Xiao Jie said to his four militiamen.
"Don't worry, you two heroes, I'm ready."
The four of them took up positions at the four corners of the ginkgo tree. Xiao Jie drew his sword, I Want to Become an Immortal took my axe, and the two of them took action together.
Click!
Duo!
Hitting the trunk of the ginkgo tree with an ax and a knife at the same time, blood immediately spurted out.
The ginkgo tree didn't react at all, as if it was just an ordinary tree.
The two of them didn't hesitate. You used the ax and I used the knife, and they kept slashing.
After a few rounds, the ginkgo tree started to bleed with blood, which looked very scary.
Just when Xiao Jie thought that this thing had no fighting power at all, the ginkgo tree suddenly started to move violently. Countless branches trembled like tentacles. There was a surge on the ground, and more than a dozen vines like tree roots emerged from the ground. He got out and came towards the two of them.
A long blood bar appeared on the ginkgo tree.
Dryad spawn (secondary monster): Elite unit: Level 9, HP 590.
Damn it, it is indeed alive! Xiao Jie was surprised and delighted.
"Up, up, up!" he shouted hurriedly to the militiamen, and at the same time pulled away and retreated.
I am a first-level alt, so it is better not to go up to fight monsters at this time.
The four sword-and-shield militiamen rushed forward, brandishing hatchets, and slashed at them indiscriminately.
Even if I wanted to become an immortal, I wanted to rush up, but Xiao Jie hurriedly shouted, "Don't be impulsive. We just need to promise to participate and let the four of them fight against the monsters."
As Xiao Jie spoke, he went up and cut a tree root in two, and then quickly retreated, allowing the four militiamen to attract the hatred of the tree demon.
These militiamen all wore leather armor and had about 200 health points. They would only be injured once or twice but would not die, but they could withstand more beatings than him.
I want to become an immortal and imitate the same thing. I will chop one with an ax and then roll out of the circle.
The two of them were fighting each other, just taking damage from the side. Most of the main output in the battle was cut by the militia.
This hatchet is indeed miraculous in cutting down the dryad. Every time it cuts, it can cut off more than ten points of the dryad's life. After a few rounds, the dryad's health is almost at its bottom.
"No! Why! Why!"
The tree demon spawn made a weird roar, and the tree roots danced with fangs and claws.
Xiao Jie hurriedly took a few steps back when he saw this. He looked like he was about to use his big move.
Even I, who wanted to become an immortal, saw something was wrong and took two steps back.
Suddenly, more than a dozen roots wrapped around the militiaman closest to it. In an instant, the militiaman was tied up like a mummy by the roots.
The roots inserted directly into the militiaman's body and began to absorb the militiaman's health. The blood volume that had bottomed out immediately began to recover.
"Quick! Cut off its roots." Xiao Jie rushed forward.
Cut it in two!
With a flash of sword light, a thick tree root was immediately cut into two pieces, and blood spurted out from the fracture.
When I wanted to become an immortal, I jumped up suddenly, and struck the root of the tree hard with the wood-cutting ax in my hand, also cutting off a root.
The three militiamen also chopped randomly, and after several rounds, they finally cut off all the roots of the tree.
Boom! The tree demon spawn finally bottomed out and fell down suddenly.
[System prompt: You participated in killing the elite monster [Tree Demon Spawn] and gained 189 experience points. Your level has been improved. It is now level 2. You have gained 5 free attribute points. 】
"Haha, it worked!" I shouted excitedly as I wanted to become a fairy.
"Successful." Xiao Jie also let out a sigh of relief.
"Old Liu!" a militiaman suddenly exclaimed.
Only then did Xiao Jie notice that the militiaman entangled in tree roots was already dead.
His whole body was sucked into the shape of a mummy.
