Chapter 34 Beast Language
When Xiao Jie used the method of identifying beasts again, he could not find the shadow of the weird goat at all.
Could it be that the system wiped out the mission NPCs?
Looking at those sheep, Xiaojie felt a fuzzy feeling in his heart. Forget it, he had sworn an oath anyway, but this oath cannot be broken easily. If you don't see it, you will see it again.
He felt somewhat regretful that he had only learned one of the three skills, or his basic attributes were too low. It seemed that he had to hurry up and prepare to upgrade.
But before that, I have to try the effect of this beast language technique.
This skill is not a passive effect, but requires turning on and maintaining concentration to activate.
Xiao Jie clicked on the skill bar and turned on Beast Whispering!
The goats’ chaotic bleating sounds suddenly turned into understandable language.
Goat: "Eat grass, eat grass, oh my god, this is so delicious."
Goat: "Eat quickly, that guy will chase us back in a while."
Goat: "The grass doesn't smell very good today. It's a bit salty. Could it be that one of you peed on the grass?"
I'll go... Xiao Jie was speechless for a while, what these sheep said was really funny.
He silently drove the sheep back to the sheepfold, then received 100 coins. Just as he was about to leave, Old Man Yang suddenly shouted, "Boy, why did you lose one of my sheep?"
Xiao Jie was surprised and hurriedly counted, and sure enough, only 49 sheep were left.
Old Man Yang said anxiously: "What kind of work are you doing as a young man? You can even lose the sheep. I will deduct your money."
System prompt: Old Yangtou requires you to hand over 200 yuan in compensation. Do you accept it? Yes/No.
A dialog box popped up in front of me.
Option 1: Hand over 200 Wen and accept the penalty.
Option 2: "I don't want money, I want my life."
Option 3: Old man, how about I herd the sheep for you for two more hours to compensate for your wages?
this……
Xiao Jie was speechless. It was naturally impossible for him to fall out with Old Man Yang, and he had no interest in continuing to herd sheep. He had no choice but to pay and escape.
Leaving the corral, Xiao Jie was speechless.
Well, this morning was not only for nothing, but also a waste of 100 copper coins.
Fortunately, I had saved a lot of money before, so it wasn't too much of a stretch.
It didn't take much thinking to know that the goat that ran away must be the weird goat. It seemed that this adventure was a one-time event. If I triggered it, no one would encounter it again.
But he had already sworn an oath, so why did it still run away?
Is it because you don’t trust the integrity of my dignified returnees? Huh, that's so disrespectful.
But fortunately, the most valuable skills have been learned, so it is not a loss.
Xiao Jie is still looking forward to the skill of Bestiality.
The value of this thing is absolutely huge when used properly.
You must know that players usually need to interact with NPCs to trigger tasks.
There are only so many NPCs in the village. According to Wang Kai, there have been more than 200 players in the past three years. It is estimated that all the special tasks that can be triggered have been triggered long ago.
The rest are either too difficult to complete, or are open-ended errands like farming and herding sheep.
But now I have a lot more animals to interact with. In other words, there are a lot more NPCs I can interact with. If there are any hidden tasks among these animals, there is a high probability that I will encounter them.
You should know that there are still many animals in the village.
Moreover, basically no one has interacted with these animal NPCs. In other words, if these animals have any tasks, no one will come to snatch them.
The more Xiao Jie thought about it, the more excited he became, and he couldn't wait to start chatting with the animals.
First of all, there are a few old scalpers near the farmland. As the main force in farming in the village, they have to work in the fields as long as there are people farming, and they usually stay in the fields.
At this time, because there are no players farming, the three cows are gathering around a pile of grass, resting and gnawing grass together.
Tired old cow: "I'm so tired. I work every day. When will it be over?"
The old cow who accepted his fate said: "Oh, this is fate. Who told us to be cows? Let us be human beings in the next life. Then we can drive cows and work."
Thinking Lao Niu: "I have been thinking about a question, why do we have to work for humans? We don't eat wheat and millet, we just eat grass, and grass is everywhere, why do we have to work for them? Why don't we go Wandering outside the village, looking for our freedom.”
Xiao Jie heard this with great interest and couldn't help but interject: "Hey man, there are many monsters outside the village. The three of you are domestic animals and you probably don't have much fighting power. If you go outside the village, you will die."
The resigned old cow said: "That's right. I heard that those monsters are scary, so you should just farm the land honestly."
Thinking Old Niu: "Mou - that must have been made up by you humans to scare us Niu. Don't think you can deceive me."
Xiao Jie couldn't help but feel happy, "Okay, as long as you are happy, by the way, do you need me to help you escape? As long as you give me something good, I can consider it."
Thinking Lao Niu: "Mou, what are the benefits? Can you eat it?" "It's just equipment, skills, treasures, etc. Do you have them?"
Thinking old cow: "We are cows, how can we have those things you mentioned? I can plow fields, do you want to learn?"
"Well, it's free of charge."
Xiao Jie decisively stepped out of the way, and then focused on the big goose running around in the village.
The big goose said: "Quack, quack, quack, the weather is nice today, quack, quack, quack, I want to have a full meal, quack, quack, who dares to block my way, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, let him peck him everywhere."
It rhymes...
Then came the big fat pigs in the pig pen, and then the group of chickens raised by the aunt at the east end of the village...
Xiao Jie went around and listened to all the conversations of the animals in the village.
It was quite interesting, but there was no special reward. There were no hidden tasks or anything like that as he had imagined.
Think about it, a group of domestic animals don't have any personal belongings, so even if they are given a mission, they probably won't get any decent rewards. They can't just give them a handful of grass or a handful of rice.
As for skills, there is no need to think about it. These animals only plow the fields and lay eggs. Those pigs simply just eat and wait to die. It is not something that players can learn at all.
Moreover, animals do not seem to be NPCs in the strict sense. They can only communicate, but they do not seem to have the function of issuing tasks.
As for the weird goat before, it should be considered a special case.
But I did hear a lot of useful information.
Whose wife steals a man, which militiaman deserts in the middle of the night, and so on.
Finally Xiao Jie came to the Orion hut.
Orion Yang Baichuan did not live in the village. Instead, he settled on a hillside to the north of the village and built an independent wooden house. He also built a row of kennels outside the wooden house and raised a group of hounds. Outside the cabin.
The hounds are completely different from the wild dogs outside the village. Each one is very powerful and is a friendly unit with a green name.
The fighting power looks very strong.
Xiao Jie looked at the several hunting dogs with an average level of four or five and was filled with envy. If he could take one out for leveling, he would definitely get twice the result with half the effort.
It's a pity that I don't know how to train animals or dogs, so there's nothing I can do.
A sudden thought occurred in Xiao Jie's mind. Although he didn't know how to train animals, since he could talk to animals, wouldn't it be enough to just trick a hound to follow him? Although it felt a bit outrageous, there was no harm in giving it a try.
Whatever he wanted to do, Xiao Jie walked straight towards the kennel.
Seeing Xiao Jie approaching, several hounds looked towards him. He had come here once two days ago when he was investigating an errand, so they knew him.
At this time, Xiao Jie looked at the hounds with a smile.
"I asked you guys, are you interested in hanging out with me? If you follow me, you will be guaranteed to have meat buns to eat every time."
Scar (Hound Dog): "Wow, Roubaozi wants to bribe us, dreaming."
Black Claw (Hound Dog): "We only listen to our master's orders. You are not our master, so go away."
Meat Ball (Hound Dog): "That's right, meat buns are nothing, at least they have to be roasted chicken and bacon."
Broken Tooth (Hound Dog): "You know Meatball, Meatball. I never saw you so active when hunting."
Meatball (Hound Dog): "I didn't eat enough, so of course I couldn't run."
"Shut up! Woof!" A low growl suddenly sounded, making all the dogs present afraid to speak anymore.
Then, a huge black dog was seen slowly walking out of the shadows of the kennel.
It looked to be a bit old, with jet black fur and a tuft of white hair on its chin.
One eye is blind, one ear is missing, he is old and aged, but his burly figure shows no signs of aging.
This was the first time he saw this dog. Xiao Jie looked at it using the method of identifying animals, and a line of data suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.
[Black Whirlwind (Hound Leader): Elite unit. Level 7. HP: 190.
Taming Difficulty: Hard.
Skills: Bite LV4, tendon rupture LV3, tracking LV2, sprint LV1, leader of the pack LV2. 】
When Xiao Jie was sizing up the other person, the big black dog was also sizing him up.
"Human, you can actually understand our canine language?"
Hey, Xiao Jie was surprised. This dog was a bit unusual. It was able to realize the key to the problem.
Most of the animals he has come into contact with don't seem to think there is anything special about being able to communicate with them. Maybe they are not intelligent enough. This dog in front of him is the first to realize this.
