Chapter 132 The mysterious fishing village and salted fish merchants
System prompt: Trigger the adventure event [River God’s Guidance].
Mission description: You and your companions accidentally dropped an ax into the river when crossing the river. Thanks to the guidance of the river god, she told you that you can find what you want in a small fishing village downstream. However, the other party was unclear about where exactly it was. What awaits you remains unknown.
There is only one piece of advice from her that you should keep in mind. As long as you stick to [honesty], you will get the rewards you deserve.
Mission objective: Go to the fishing village for further investigation.
Mission reward:? ? ? ? .
(Damn, I won’t really give it to you.)
Looking at the river gradually returning to calm, Xiao Jie thought helplessly in his heart that although he had thought of it a long time ago, he was still a little disappointed.
It seems that you have to complete the subsequent tasks to get the rewards.
I just don’t know, is this beautiful river god the real river god, or is she a monster in disguise? Just like the original tree god, or some other special existence.
But it doesn’t matter if it’s true or not, and we can’t report it to the village chief like we did in the village.
He really misses the story missions in the online games he played in the past. He can just skip them without thinking and fight a few mission monsters, unlike this game where he has to use his brain to think of countermeasures.
When encountering these highly intelligent NPCs, it actually feels like their intelligence has been suppressed.
The various Riddler behaviors are really annoying.
"Brother Feng, shall we go to the fishing village?"
"Go, I have to go. I finally encountered the adventure mission, but there will definitely be a reward for the adventure. Although the reward is unknown, the reward must be very good, and we should have completed the first step of the test just now. This kind of thing can happen But if you can’t ask for it, how can you give up so easily?
This adventure must not be as simple as in the story. Just tell a few truths. However, I think that story should still be worth referencing. Remember this key word - honesty, I think this is important. Determination is very important for the final task to be completed. "
The two of them stopped fighting monsters. There was no adventure and excitement in upgrading monsters, so they walked towards the south along the river beach. I wanted to become an immortal without my giant axe, so I had to pick up the old battle ax and use it first.
Sure enough, after walking for a while, a fork in the river appeared in front of the two of them. The main river was rushing down, and they didn't know where it was going. However, there was a small, thin fork on the side of the main river. The two of them continued to move forward along the fork. , the white river beach gradually disappeared, replaced by dense reeds.
To ensure a clear view, the two of them had to go around a few times and pass through a sparse forest. Suddenly, the river came to an end, and there was a small lake in front of them. There were some thatched huts and bamboo fences surrounding the lake. What a small fishing village.
It's just that this fishing village doesn't look normal and has a dilapidated feel.
Torn fishing nets were hanging out on the wooden shelves, and there were several fishing boats parked near the river bank, but they were all dilapidated, and some were simply rotten.
Some of those huts have collapsed, or simply have roofs missing, and they look completely uninhabited.
Only a hut in the deepest part of the village looked intact, with some salted fish hanging on the shelf next to the door.
Xiao Jie has become accustomed to this style of painting. The world seems to be like this everywhere, decadent and dilapidated. Only in places like Novice Village or Luoyang Town, where players stay, can you still feel a trace of peace and tranquility.
The two of them walked around the village around the lake, but there was no one there.
Xiao Jie was very vigilant. The second most important thing was whether there was anyone or not. The most important thing was whether there were monsters.
I wanted to become an immortal, but I was always looking for his giant axe, and my eyes would look into the lake from time to time.
It's just that the lake was pitch black, so he wouldn't dare go into the water to look for it.
"What are you two looking for? Do you want to buy salted fish?"
The sound startled the two of them. They turned around suddenly and saw an old woman sitting in front of the slightly complete hut. She looked at the two of them warily.
Granny Li (Salted Fish Merchant): Level 24, HP 710.
Xiao Jie thought to himself: Damn it, a salted fish merchant has level 24? Are you kidding, this Granny Li is definitely not simple.
He was afraid that he would do something bad if he became an immortal, so he hurriedly spoke.
"Old man, we are returnees. We specialize in hunting down demons and punishing evildoers. I heard that there are often sharks and water ghosts by the river, so I came to see if I can find a few to kill. kill.
We happen to be here, so I apologize for any inconvenience. "Returners?" Have I heard of you, slaying demons? Hahaha, that's a coincidence. There have been some sharks causing trouble in our area recently. My old lady, I have been living here alone and helpless. I have been frightened for some days. You came at the right time.
If you can help me eliminate this disaster, I will be grateful to the old lady. "
Hey, are there really sharks?
"Then I don't know how to calculate this reward? We returnees also need to spend money to kill demons. The repair fees, potion money, and food all cost money, so you understand..."
"Hahahaha, I understand, I understand, old lady, although I don't have much property, I still have some coffins, so I won't let you work in vain. I will give you a reward of 100 yuan for killing a shark. I will give you as much as you want. "
[System prompt: Trigger the mission [Hunting the Shark]. This mission is a related mission of the adventure event [River God’s Guidance]. It may have an impact on the final outcome of the adventure. Players can choose whether to accept it. 】
Pick it up, you have to pick it up, it just doesn’t matter about leveling up, you can level up, make money, and also advance the plot, so why not do it.
The two decisively accepted the task.
"Old lady, where do those sharks often hang out? Please tell me."
"On the shore of the lake over there, people will come ashore to cause trouble from time to time. The time must be coming soon, so you two should be prepared."
Xiao Jie looked in the direction pointed by the old woman and saw two strange shark corpses lying in the shallows of a lake.
The corpse looked like a fish in the lower body and a human in the upper body, but it didn't have the beauty of a mermaid at all. The upper body was said to be a human, but it was only 78% similar. The body was covered with fish scales, and the facial features were completely different from humans. It also has gills and fins.
Shark Pearl Seeker (dead), level 12, health 0/260.
It's only level 12, so it shouldn't be difficult to deal with.
Wait a minute, who killed these two bodies?
He looked at the old lady and thought to himself that it couldn't be this aunt who did it, it should be.
Level 24 versus level 12, pure level crushing.
Xiao Jie became more and more confused about the old woman's identity.
The river god guided them here, and for what purpose?
Before the monsters were cleared, Xiao Jie simply started talking to Granny Li.
"Grandma Li, do you still sell salted fish here? Let me see?"
"Haha, of course, it's not a good thing."
A product list popped up in front of Xiao Jie's eyes, with only two products in it.
【Salted fish (food)
Use: Restore 20 points of satiety and add a 'thirst' DEBUFF to you.
Item introduction: Salted fish pickled with a large amount of salt can be stored for a long time and has a very strong taste. 】
[Mysterious Dried Fish (Food)
Use: Restore 30 points of satiety and increase your swimming speed by 50%.
Item description: Dried meat made from unknown fish meat. It is processed using a secret method and tastes very chewy. 】
Hey, this mysterious fish jerky is a bit interesting.
Under normal circumstances, the introduction of food will not be obscure, such as pork, mutton, venison, etc., it is clear and clear.
But if it’s mysterious meat, then there must be something to it.
The same is true for this mysterious dried fish meat. Since it says so, it must not be a common fish meat. Xiao Jie glanced at the shark corpse not far away - could it be the flesh of the shark?
No wonder he thought about it. The dilapidated fishing village in front of him, the dead shark, the mysterious old woman, and the inexplicable guidance behind the river god all lead the story towards a strange and bizarre painting style. go.
Not to mention shark jerky, it wouldn't be surprising even if the old woman in the end was a black shop that kills people and makes human meat buns.
