Chapter 89 Goodbye ‘Enlightenment’
Xiao Jie went online early the next morning.
After getting to know the 'big guys' in the group, he became even more eager to improve his strength.
There are so many powerful powers, so many extraordinary adventures, and so many mysterious treasures in this game, all waiting for him to discover and explore.
Time waits for no one.
As soon as she entered the game, she saw Ye Luo sitting in the tavern having breakfast. The way she sat and ate seemed very ritualistic.
Xiao Jie also sat down at the table, checked how full he was, and ordered two steamed buns.
"You got up very early." Xiao Jie said when he had nothing to say.
"I didn't sleep last night and spent the entire night hacking away ghosts."
"Then why are you still at level 10?"
"Night ghosts are not bandits and wild dogs in the wild. The number is limited, so it is naturally not that efficient to practice. Moreover, this game has a threshold every 10 levels. The experience points required for upgrading will increase a lot at once, but it is quick. Tonight It should be possible to upgrade.”
"Why don't you practice leveling with me and Chengxian? The three of us will definitely be more efficient, and we can also take care of each other."
Ye Luo hesitated for a moment, then shook his head, "No need, I kill ghosts not only for leveling up, but also for brushing up on career materials."
This rejection was not what Xiao Jie had expected. What surprised him was that Ye Luo hesitated.
It seems that after fighting side by side yesterday, Ye Luo is no longer so resistant to forming a team.
He was not in a hurry and just ate the steamed buns while he was talking. I Wish to Become an Immortal came online as well.
Seeing Xiao Jie, he immediately came over excitedly.
"Brother Feng, are we going to complete the task of investigating the ancient tomb today? It's been several days."
Yang Baichuan originally commissioned the two of them to investigate the mysterious ancient tomb, but they never completed it because they were not high enough.
Now that I am at level seven, I can give it a try.
"Okay, let's look back and take a look at the situation. If the time is right, go and have a look. By the way, I joined a group yesterday." Xiao Jie said and told the story about the local player group.
"Wow, if there is such a good thing, then we should also have such a group here."
"Where are you from?"
"I'm from Yunchuan Province."
Xiao Jie said, "I don't know, but it should be possible."
"I advise you not to be too idealistic." Ye Luo suddenly interrupted.
Xiao Jie said in surprise: "Why do you say that?"
"Not every player group will be so harmonious and help each other, and sometimes it will bring you danger."
"But players are not allowed to compete offline." I want to become an immortal said.
Ye Luo sneered, "There's no need to do it yourself. If you really want to harm someone, there are a hundred ways."
Xiao Jie said: "I am very touched by what you said."
Ye Luo's face changed slightly, "No more talking, I'm sleepy, I'm going to bed."
After that, log off directly.
Xiao Jie and I Yuchengxian looked at each other in disbelief as they watched Ye Luo disappear into the tavern.
Okay, it seems I said the wrong thing.
The two of them were full of food and drink, full of energy, packed their supplies, and set off.
It’s still the same place to farm the soulless zombies, just circle around the carriage.
Xiao Jie wielded his double swords, and I Want to Become an Immortal wielded my giant axe, skillfully killing monsters.
Xiao Jie tried his best to use double-knife attacks to kill monsters. Today was the last day to enlighten the BUFF. He hoped to learn another skill before the BUFF ended. A dual-weapon specialization or spinning sword dance would be great.
The double-knife attack mode does much higher damage than a single-knife attack, but it is also more prone to mistakes.
Fortunately, after constant attempts, Xiao Jie has mastered the rhythm. The key is to leave enough time to predict the monster's counterattack after the attack, otherwise it will be easy to reveal flaws after the attack.
In addition, you should not be greedy with the sword, because the attack time of the double sword is relatively long, and if you are greedy with the sword, you will easily be counterattacked and lose health.
The way Xiao Jie came up with was to use more rolls, and chop twice with each roll. After mastering the rhythm, it would have a mechanical beauty.
Roll - swipe! Roll - swipe! Roll - swipe!
Xiao Jie waved his swords while rolling around the zombies. The zombies waved their arms in vain, but they fell into the empty space every time.
Six consecutive perfect rolls followed by double-knife attacks circled the zombie, and the last two swords knocked the zombie to the ground.
[System prompt: Your ‘enlightenment’ state has been triggered, and you have obtained an ‘enlightenment’! 】
Suddenly, a golden light flashed above Xiao Jie's character's head, and a golden icon appeared in the center of the screen. Written on it are two golden words—Epiphany!
I’m going, I’m finally here! Xiao Jie was pleasantly surprised. Today is already the seventh day of enlightenment BUFF. If he doesn't come again, he will have no chance.
He checked it quickly.
[Words of epiphany: In the process of constantly rolling and slashing, you gradually mastered the unique move that combines rolling and attacking, and thus understood the combat skill [Hob Slash].
Um? Xiao Jie was shocked that it was not the dual-weapon specialization he expected.
Cut with a hob? This name is really quite personal.
[Hob Slash (additional combat skill)
Applicable weapons: one-handed knife.
Combat skill consumption: 20 stamina (triggered after rolling).
Skill effect: Immediately after rolling, launch an attack on nearby enemies, causing 100% weapon damage (this action will not affect the next rolling speed).
Skill description: The unknown swordsman creates a strange move by combining rolling and slashing. It has no image at all. Although the move is weird and clumsy, it may be useful in some special occasions. 】
Yes, I finally had something to gain.
Although this combat skill looks a bit weird, isn't it overwhelming to have so many skills?
At noon, just when Xiao Jie's experience value increased to 35% of level 7, the Enlightenment BUFF finally disappeared from Xiao Jie.
Finally, it was gone. Seeing the icon above his head disappear, Xiao Jie felt a little emotional.
I don’t know when the next time I will be enlightened.
The two of them ate some food and prepared to rest before continuing the fight, but unexpectedly—ding bell! jingle!
The sound of the bell rang again.
"Quickly, retreat!" Xiao Jie reacted very quickly.
The two men immediately judged the direction of the wind and quickly hid behind two big trees, crouching and taking cover.
After a short while, I saw a group of soulless zombies being driven towards this side. Behind the team, there was another corpse driver.
Lin Yu (corpse chaser): Elite, level 9. HP 440.
Seeing the corpse on the ground, the corpse hunter snorted in displeasure, while several corpse dogs roared at the corpse.
The corpse driver waved his hand, and several corpse-eating dogs immediately pounced on him, biting and swallowing.
However, Xiao Jie noticed that the name of this corpse chaser was different from the one he met earlier. The first one was named Wu Gang, but this one was named Lin Yu. She seemed to be a woman. It seemed that there was more than one corpse chaser.
Watching the corpses gradually disappear, Xiao Jie breathed a long sigh of relief. Looking at the direction in which they disappeared, it was obvious that it was the direction of the ancient tomb.
"Brother Feng, do you want to continue practicing?"
"No, we have to change places. This guy is going to the northeast. Let's go to the northwest."
"The northeast direction seems to be the direction of the ancient tomb." I said.
"Yes, there may be something in it. Could it be that the mysterious man in black that Yang Baichuan saw back then was the corpse chaser? That's not right, the clothes of the corpse chaser were obviously gray."
"Could it be that the color has faded over time?" My idea of becoming a fairy was a bit strange.
Xiao Jie shook his head and said: "Absolutely not. The mission text in the game usually hides some key clues, so it is usually very accurate. Black clothes are black clothes, and generally they will not convey wrong and vague information to players. There must be someone else."
"Maybe he's the boss of these corpse chasers?"
Xiao Jie nodded, "This is possible. If even the younger brother has level nine, the boss may not have level 12 or level 3.
And for several hours, there were a lot of zombies and stone-eating dogs. Oh dear, this is probably not a big BOSS.
The appearance of such a monster in Novice Village feels a bit like a mainline BOSS. We are still not at a high level yet, so let’s level up first. "
Although I want to become an immortal and am eager to complete the task, I have always been convinced of Xiao Jie's judgment and can only nod in agreement.
The two of them headed northwest. Unfortunately, almost all the soulless walkers disappeared. They were probably attracted by the ringing sound.
There were not even a few wild beasts in sight, and I walked for several minutes without seeing a single monster.
“Brother Feng, there’s no stock here, otherwise—hey, what is that?”
Xiao Jie also noticed that a little blue monster appeared in the woods in front of him. He was wearing blue skin and was less than one meter tall. He had a big head and a slim body. He felt like a big-headed doll. Looks unusually wretched.
He was carrying a wooden stick behind him and carrying a cloth bag with the word "goods" written on it.
"Little Collecting Monster!" The two shouted in unison.
This shout directly scared the little demon. When the little scavenger demon saw the two of them, he immediately turned around and ran away,
"Chase!"
