Chapter 121 Sick Village
Looking at the prairie horse in front of him, Xiao Jie was quite surprised. It was a bit interesting to catch a horse as a pet.
It's a pity that the combat power of this thing is obviously not as good as that of the wild boar. This is not difficult to see just by looking at the skills.
Two of the three skills do not increase combat effectiveness. Only one kick can deal damage. As a result, it also comes with a cowering trait.
The blood volume is also not as good as that of the wild boar. .
Fortunately, I want to become an immortal, so I don't lack this human shield.
Because the loyalty is too low, there is currently no way to learn skills from it. This thing doesn't eat secret dog food, so you can only take it with you to slowly develop a relationship.
"Come on, Chengxian, let's continue on our way."
The two of them walked along the edge of the mountain towards the outside of the valley.
The two of them did not trigger any more battles. They carefully bypassed the speeding and wandering Makos, and finally walked out of the valley at 10:10.
As soon as we came out of the valley, our eyes suddenly opened up. The originally narrow field of vision surrounded by mountains now became endless.
Looking around, we can only see scenes of desolation, decline, and decline. There are barren farmland and dilapidated houses everywhere. The forests and wilderness are gloomy and dark, giving people a sense of decadence and apocalypse.
The only sounds in my ears were the sound of the wind and the crows.
Xiao Jie felt slightly uneasy. Although he liked to explore the map in the game, this was a game that cost his life.
(You shouldn't encounter any big monsters as soon as you go out, right?) Xiao Jie thought comfortingly.
"Chengxian, keep your eyes open and try not to leave the road. We have already left Novice Village and the road ahead will not be easy."
I wanted to become a fairy and realized the seriousness of the matter, so I agreed.
Fortunately, probably because they had just left the Novice Village, the two of them did not encounter any monsters in the first few minutes. There were only a few wild dogs on the roadside, looking away in fear and not daring to get close.
Soon a crossroad appeared in front of the two of them, and a street sign fell to the ground. The handwriting on it was still unrecognizable.
I wanted to become an immortal and hurriedly took out the map and looked at it.
"Going west is Guiwu Ridge. The map shows recommended level 17-25."
"Going north is Bixia Mountain. At the foot of the mountain is Bixia Village, and on the mountain is Baiyun Temple."
"Going east is Luoyang Plain. Luoyang Town is located in the center of the plain. The recommended level of Luoyang Plain is 8-22."
Xiao Jie thought for a moment, "Let's go to Bixia Mountain to hand in the mission first. Remember, try not to leave the main road."
This is also summarized by Xiao Jie’s game experience. In online games, when venturing on high-level maps, it is best not to deviate from the main road. Usually there will be fewer monsters on the main road, and because players usually follow the main road, high-level players will encounter small monsters on the road. The monster will take care of it, which further reduces the risk, so in theory, as long as you follow the main road, it should be relatively safer.
However, the road to the north is not really a big road. It can accommodate several horses traveling in parallel at first, but it soon turns into a country road.
Fortunately, there were no monsters along the way. Maybe they were all cleaned up by the experts from Baiyun Temple? Xiao Jie guessed.
The Bixia Mountain could be seen from a distance. The two of them just stared in the direction of the mountain while paying attention to the movement around them. However, the further they walked, the quieter they became. The surroundings were silent, and soon they could not even hear the crows. Arrived, this kind of silence made Xiao Jie feel a little heavy.
After bypassing a forest, a village suddenly appeared in front of the two of them. It should be the so-called Bixia Village.
However, a line of prompts appeared on the screen.
[System prompt: Found a new map ‘Sick Village’. 】
Xiao Jie's heart tightened. This name made him instinctively think of some bad memories.
"Stop, something is wrong!" he said.
Bixia Village has turned into a sick village, and there must be something wrong.
Standing at the entrance of the village, Xiao Jie could see a street leading to Bixia Mountain not far away, and a stone step winding up the mountain, disappearing into the mist-shrouded mountain forest. A Taoist spire on the top of the mist-shrouded mountain could be faintly seen. shadow.
But to get there, you have to go through the village.
Xiao Jie carefully observed this 'sick village'. This village had obviously been abandoned. Most of the dilapidated thatched houses had collapsed or simply turned into a pile of ruins. The only brick and tile house had been burned by fire. trace.
He took a few steps forward to take a closer look, and suddenly - woo woo! A strange gulping sound made Xiao Jie's scalp tighten.
He looked intently and saw a humanoid object covered in black pustules slowly walking out of the ruins.
That thing vaguely seemed to be a person. The clothes on it were completely torn, revealing the twisted and ulcerated body. It was so severe that the facial features were unrecognizable.
Disease Zombie: Level 12, HP 580.
Damn it, the blood is so thick? Although he looked slow and easy to bully, Xiao Jie didn't dare to attack. The plague zombie might have some poisoning skills.
And upon closer inspection, there seemed to be a lot of disease zombies. They were far away before and they had not been noticed before. Now as the first zombie appeared, one after another quickly emerged from the ruins and from the streets. They seemed to move extremely slowly, gradually approaching the two of them, but they had a creepy feeling.
The rotten face, the body covered with pustules, and the deep moaning made people shudder.
"Retreat, retreat, retreat." Xiao Jie's scalp was numb and he retreated decisively. "Aren't you going to fight?"
"Play a few times, there's something wrong with this thing at first sight."
Generally speaking, the monster's level and strength are linked. If a monster is particularly weak in one aspect, it must be ridiculously strong in other aspects.
Of course, I wouldn’t mention it if it was a garbage game with no logic and no balance, but this game is obviously not.
A level 12 monster must have level 12 strength, so although these plague zombies may seem slow, they are definitely not easy to mess with.
Although he didn't know exactly why he was so difficult to mess with, Xiao Jie didn't intend to test it with his life.
"Let's go around."
Both sides of the sick village are abandoned farmland, covered with withered and yellow weeds. It doesn't feel very safe, but at least it is much more open than the stuffy environment in the village.
"Carrot, explore the way ahead."
Xiao Jie didn't care about the value of loyalty or happiness. He stood aside in front of his little life.
After giving the order, Luobo snorted helplessly and advanced in the grass that was half a man tall. The two of them followed behind, ready to attack at any time.
Suddenly, Carrot neighed and retreated hastily.
It's true that he has the cringe quality.
Xiao Jie looked carefully and saw a dark thing quickly emerging from the grass.
It's a big rat!
Looking at this furry guy, Xiao Jie actually felt a little warm.
Finally encountered a familiar monster.
However, he immediately discovered something was wrong. This big rat also had a lot of pustules on its body. Although it was not as scary as those disease zombies, it was still shocking. Even its eyes were two black holes, which made people seep when they looked at it. .
Plague Rat: Level 9, HP 340.
"Fuck, get out!"
The big rat had already discovered the two of them, and rushed over without caring about the difference in numbers.
This time Xiao Jie became even more furious.
"Remove, retreat!" he shouted while firing arrows as hard as he could. Xiao Jie had a feeling that if the big rat got close to him, nothing good would happen.
He might be infected with the disease. The corpse poison incident last time left a deep impression on him.
The two of them quickly retreated in the direction they came from, firing arrows as they retreated. At least they managed to kill the diseased rat halfway.
Not even daring to touch the body, the two of them ran back to the intersection before stopping.
"Forget it, Brother Feng, let's go to Luoyang Town first. This is not the only Taoist temple in Fengyin Prefecture."
"Okay, let's learn martial arts first, and then we can worry about it after we master the martial arts."
He was a little confused. Since there were experts living in Baiyun Temple on Bixia Mountain, why didn't anyone take care of the villages at the foot of the mountain when they were like this?
Fortunately, I didn’t accept the mission to find the master, otherwise it would have been even more dangerous.
As the two walked eastward, they discussed where to go to hand over the magic talisman.
The item description of this magic talisman says, "Perhaps some Taoist priests in the Taoist palace will be interested in this." 】, but there is no stipulation on which Taoist temple or palace it should be handed over to.
It can be seen that it should be free to choose.
According to what is marked on the map of I Want to Become an Immortal, there are currently four Taoist temples and one Taoist palace in Fengyin Prefecture.
After hearing this, Xiao Jie hurriedly said, "Please tell me about this Dao Palace in detail."
"This Taoist palace is called Xuanxu Palace. It is located just north of Xiaofeng City, the capital of Fengyin Prefecture. If we want to go there, we need to go to Luoyang Town first, then go all the way east to the main city, and then climb a mountain to the north. ”
Xiao Jie's eyes lit up, "Since handing over the magic talisman opens up reputation, it's better to go to Xuanxu Palace. This palace sounds much higher than the Taoist temple, and if it's close to the main city, it shouldn't be too Danger."
Since this game runs according to realistic logic, there must be relatively few monsters near the main city, and it may be easier than going to Baiyun Temple.
I want to become an immortal and said: "That's true, but will Xuanxu Palace be a big shop bullying customers? The more large a sect like this, the harder it will be to enter."
Xiao Jie thought to himself, okay, he can still think of this.
"It's not a big problem. If we want to enter, we can enter the Haodao Palace. The big problem is that we can slowly build up our reputation and do tasks. With the magic talisman as a stepping stone, we should be able to open up our reputation at least, so naturally we have to take a gamble."
"Okay, Brother Feng, I listen to you.
