Chapter 169 Avoiding trouble in the Monkey Valley
Xiao Jie walked very carefully. Without the speed advantage of the war horse, he would feel a little unsure when operating in the wild. Fortunately, there was a divine walking talisman in his bag, coupled with his Qinggong and galloping skills, he could really run away like a monster. I really can’t catch up.
Xiao Jie was somewhat worried that he would be hunted down by Tianxiahui again. Fortunately, the game map was big enough, and Tianxiahui had just been almost wiped out by the group. It is estimated that the remaining three melons and two dates would not dare to chase him alone.
After walking for more than an hour with no sign of being followed, Xiao Jie felt relieved.
Cross the avenue and continue walking southwest, avoiding the more dangerous maps, and kill a dozen mobs along the way, all of which are lone beasts and the like.
At noon, Xiao Jie saw the top of the Pagoda of Purity again.
This time Xiao Jie didn't dare to get close. The cannibal monk was also good at martial arts. If he didn't have a horse, it would be better not to get close.
After a long circle, we finally arrived at the entrance of Houer Mountain.
The woodcutter was still sitting under a big tree waiting, but he stood up immediately when he saw Xiao Jie appear.
"Oh, brother, you are back. Have you found anyone to help?"
"Sorry, brother, I didn't find it, but don't worry, I can go in and help you find it by myself, but the monkeys inside are too ferocious, so I have to be careful. You wait here slowly, don't be in a hurry."
The woodcutter burst into tears, "Brother, it's really hard for you. Don't worry, as long as you can get Maomao back to me, I will definitely teach you my ancestral martial arts."
Xiao Jie didn't take it seriously. What kind of martial arts could a level 8 NPC have? Besides, there were so many monkeys in the valley, who knew which one Maomao was.
This task is just a casual one. If you are familiar with the old white ape, you might be able to ask for help. If not, forget it.
When he reached the entrance of the valley, Xiao Jie used his human form to look like a savage and walked into the Monkey Valley again.
The trees at the entrance were still full of stone-throwing apes, which reassured Xiao Jie a lot. Even if the world tracked him down, he probably wouldn't be able to pass this level.
Invisibly, it added a barrier to himself.
From a distance, you can see the old white ape wearing a wide robe and long sleeves, sitting on the tea table, drinking tea and eating steamed buns, looking leisurely and contented.
Suddenly he sighed, as if something was sad.
"Senior Yuan, this junior is here to visit again. I didn't bother you, did I?"
"Hmph, I sensed you when you were more than a hundred steps away. Sit down and tell me why you came to me again."
Xiao Jie is not polite. It is better to be more direct when communicating with animals.
"I may have to stay here for a few days this time. I hope Senior Ape can take him in."
"Oh, why are you doing this?"
"What else could it be? I'm in trouble. I'm being chased by my enemies, so I have no choice but to run to you and hide."
"So you are here to escape too? Haha..." Old White Ape laughed at himself: "You are so sincere, you actually said it, aren't you afraid that I will cause trouble and drive you out? You are Tell me, why should I keep you?"
A dialog box suddenly popped up in front of Xiao Jie's eyes.
Option 1: Since senior Yuan said so, then junior just leaves.
Option 2: Old monkey, don’t be shameless. I can stay as long as you want. If you don’t accept it, believe it or not, I will slap you. (Intimidation).
Option 3: I naturally have a reason for junior to ask senior Yuan to stay here. Please listen to me carefully. (persuade)
Option 4: Listening to Senior Yuan’s words, do you feel a lot? (Human wisdom).
Hey, it actually triggered the sophistication of human nature. He compared the four options a little and decisively chose 4.
"You feel a lot after listening to Senior Yuan's words?"
The old white ape stared at him for a while, then suddenly sighed, "Oh, I think I was chased all the way here back then. I am a fugitive like you. Your appearance reminds me of that time. Even if you are a fallen monkey in the world, I will let you stay for a while."
[System prompt: The nameless white ape’s favorability towards you has increased by 3 points, and is now 77. 】
Haha, this talent is really useful.
It can be seen that among these four options, the sophistication should be the best solution. Of course, if there is no such option and the third Xiao Jie is sure to convince the old white ape, I am afraid there will be no favorability reward.
"Haha, thank you so much, Senior Yuan. By the way, Senior Yuan, I brought you some gifts this time..."
As Xiao Jie spoke, he took out the things he had bought from his bag one after another, and kept stirring up conversations, hoping to trigger a few more human connections.
It's a pity that the plot dialogue option seems to be only triggered in some key plots, and it has no effect after trying it several times.
Fortunately, the things I bought came in handy.
Not only that, Xiao Jie worked hard to explore the point of "escape" and continued to suffer misfortunes, and actually succeeded in gaining the favor of the old white ape again.
Coupled with the gifts, the two of them became more and more speculative as they chatted, and their favorability level gradually increased. By the afternoon, it had reached 92.
"Haha, you are really brave. You dare to believe that the chivalrous warrior is willing to help you. I wouldn't dare to believe that a stranger can help. I suffered a lot when I escaped."
"I am also forced to have no choice. By the way, senior, if you want to take revenge, you must practice martial arts diligently. I wonder if I can use your precious land to practice sword skills?"
"What's the big deal? I'll just train you."
As he spoke, the old white ape picked up the candied fruit Xiao Jie bought for him and ate it. He smacked his lips while eating, obviously very satisfied.
Xiao Jie walked to the open space and began to practice the Guangfeng Sword Technique.
If you use this violent wind sword technique in combat, you can gain a lot of sword technique experience. Practicing against wooden stakes can also increase your experience, but it will be slower. If you practice against the air, your experience will increase even more. Slow.
But Xiao Jie has plenty of time anyway, and he will be able to reach LV10 sooner or later.
The old white ape looked at Xiao Jie slashing wildly into the air, but shook his head.
"Your sword skills look majestic, but there is really no skill at all. It's not good. Besides, how can you improve your sword skills by slashing into the air like this? Why don't you practice with me?"
After saying that, he jumped up to Xiao Jie and casually pulled out the Yanling Saber.
Xiao Jie really wanted it, but he was a little worried about whether he would be hostile if he got hurt.
"Senior, this sword has no eyes. What if it cuts you?"
"Hahahahaha, you are so funny. If you can cut me, you won't have to hide here anymore. Come on!"
"Then if the senior cuts the junior -"
"Hey, just chop if you want. As long as it doesn't kill you, that's fine."
After saying that, he disappeared in an instant and appeared on top of Xiao Jie's head the next second, slashing him with a knife.
