Chapter 176 Peerless magical power, a thread of immortality
Bai Yuan's sword skills are indeed peerless!
Xiao Jie couldn't help but feel a burst of ecstasy in his heart, and now he was finally about to soar into the sky.
The martial arts in this game are divided into five levels.
Elementary martial arts, intermediate martial arts, advanced martial arts, rare and extraordinary martial arts, and peerless magical skills.
The Guangfeng Sword Technique is nothing more than an intermediate martial art.
The entire auction house has never seen a peerless magical skill, and a rare magical skill can be sold for thousands of taels of silver no matter how bad it is.
The value of this peerless magical skill is self-evident.
As long as you learn it and realize the secret, it is not difficult to kill someone beyond the level.
Thinking of this, Xiao Jie accepted the task without saying a word.
"Senior Yuan, this matter is all my responsibility. I will definitely help you find out."
After receiving the mission, he did not set off immediately. After all, it was a death game. One mistake could result in a car overturning. He had to ask clearly about the danger.
Especially since Bai Yuan said he couldn't stay in the fog for long, it was a problem no matter how he looked at it.
"Senior Yuan, why don't you ask it yourself?" Xiao Jie couldn't help but ask.
Bai Yuan sighed, "Do you think I don't want to? But those two people said that our fate has ended and we can't meet again. I have tried several times, but every time I can't reach the mountain through the fog. I can only Wandering in the fog, I can only rely on you now."
Xiao Jie said: "Is there any danger in the mist?"
"It's extremely dangerous for me, but for you, it's okay. Just remember to ignore those things in the fog, and don't stay in the fog for a long time. Just keep moving forward and you'll be safe."
Xiao Jie felt a little relieved when he saw that the white ape was categorical. Although the NPC could lie, he felt that the white ape was an honest monkey and should not lie.
"Don't worry, Senior Yuan, you wait here, I'll set off right now!"
After that, he ate a piece of barbecue to regain his strength and satiety. When he was ready, he rushed into the mist in front of him.
After entering the fog, Xiao Jie directly activated the galloping skill and ran wildly in the fog. Strangely enough, he was obviously on the top of a mountain, but there was a flat plain under his feet, and the ground under his feet was surprisingly open. After running for several minutes, he still didn't get out. range of fog.
Xiao Jie felt like a mirror in his mind. Since it was an adventure, there must be some magical elements in it. He might have entered some kind of special realm at this time.
Suddenly a prompt flashed on the screen.
[System prompt: You have entered the special map ‘Forgotten River’. 】
Forget Liuchuan? It sounded very bad. Xiao Jie did not dare to be careless and continued to run wildly while observing his surroundings vigilantly.
Fortunately, the direction indicator function of the mini map is still there, so just keep running south.
While running, a figure suddenly appeared in the mist in front of him. He was a middle-aged man dressed as a swordsman, carrying a long sword and looking confused. When he saw Xiao Jie, he hurriedly came over.
The Forgotten Swordsman: "Brother, where is this place? Can you help me guide the way?"
Xiao Jie did not dare to stop at all. He remembered Bai Yuan's words. Bai Yuan said not to pay attention to those "things" in the mist. It can be seen that the person in front of him may not be a normal human being.
He went around and continued running wildly. After a while, another figure appeared in the mist. This time it was a beauty in palace clothes, with a weak appearance and a sad look.
What's even weirder is that this girl's body is translucent in color, and you can almost see through it at a glance.
Seeing Xiao Jie, he hurriedly stopped him.
The Forgotten Girl: "This strong man will stay here for a moment. The little girl accidentally got lost here. Please help take me out. I will be richly rewarded afterwards."
Xiao Jie didn't dare to stop anymore and continued to run wildly.
The fog is getting thicker and thicker, and only a few meters can be seen around.
Suddenly, another figure came into view, wearing a black leather armor and carrying two swords on his back. His face was panicked. When he saw Xiao Jie, he shouted quickly.
The forgotten returnee: "Damn it, brother, I finally saw a living person. Come on, come on, take me out!"
Homecoming? Holy shit, there are still players?
No, maybe it’s a dummy generated by the system... to confuse myself.
But regardless of whether he was a player or not, Xiao Jie did not dare to hesitate at all and accelerated again. The forgotten returnee actually caught up with him.
"Don't run, brother, take me with you...take me with you..."
Xiao Jie started flying on the grass, but the other party also speeded up. As he ran, he shouted vaguely, "Take me... take me... take me... leave..." The voice was erratic. It seems that the signal is not good and it is intermittent.
But the figure seemed to be stuck in the fog, flickering and following him, just like in a ghost movie.
Xiao Jie was so frightened that he jumped into the air.
Feiyun chases the moon! Three consecutive vertical jumps, flying towards the east in the clouds and mist in the sky, and finally disappeared when they landed on the ground.
Xiao Jie was shocked and confused, wondering what the hell is all this?
It's not advisable to stay here for a long time. He sped on again.
After running for another ten minutes, finally, the fog in front of my eyes gradually dissipated.
System prompt: You have left Wangliuchuan.
Xiao Jie breathed a sigh of relief. When he was completely out of the fog, a mountain peak appeared in front of him, surrounded by clouds and mist. The peak was covered with exotic flowers and grasses. Colorful flowers bloomed in the clouds, decorating the surroundings like a fairyland.
In the mist behind him, a path leading down the mountain could be vaguely seen.
A stone road goes all the way up the hillside, winding to the top of the mountain. There is indeed an ancient octagonal pavilion on the top of the mountain.
Xiao Jie carefully walked up the mountain road, but there were two people playing chess under the pavilion.
I saw a person on the left wearing a white robe, with the air of an elegant immortal, and a handsome face - Tianxuan Zhenren (the hidden immortal), level 72. HP:? ? ? ?
The person on the right is wearing a black robe with dark gold patterns of stars on it, and has a majestic face - Kaiyang Xingjun (Hermit Immortal), level 69. HP:? ? ? ?
The two of them seemed to be entirely focused on the chess game, and did not notice Xiao Jie's approach at all. Xiao Jie did not dare to make a sound and stood aside to observe carefully.
The chess game was criss-crossed, and it was obvious that it had reached the middle of the game. Xiao Jie was only a beginner in Go, and could not tell the difference at all.
As expected, there was a tray on the low table next to it, with a few leftover fruits, half a jug of remaining wine, and two white jade wine glasses on it. Without saying a word, Xiao Jie put the food he had prepared in his bag, including some fruits of various colors and two bottles of monkey wine.
The black-robed immortal seemed to be in trouble. He reached out to the side and a fruit immediately flew over. The immortal didn't even raise his head, so he picked it up and ate it.
The white-robed immortal smiled slightly when he saw it. He stretched out his hand and a bottle of monkey wine fell into his hand. He picked it up and drank.
The two of them walked one step at a time, one at a time and the other took a bite. After a while, they were almost ready for fruit and monkey wine.
However, the chess game is not over yet.
Xiao Jie thought to himself, what should I do? Just keep putting it, there aren't many fruits, but there is plenty of food in his bag, and there are several bottles of monkey wine.
Xiao Jie put the wine on the table, thought for a moment, and then put the barbecue, roast chicken, rural pancakes, and glutinous rice cakes on top in order.
These two immortals were serious foodies. They seemed to have no concept of eating enough. They took whatever they wanted and in the blink of an eye, everything on the low table was almost full.
Fortunately, Xiao Jie had enough stock. He had finished all the Houer wine and still had two bottles of Dukang wine.
After the barbecue was gone, steamed buns were served, and in the end even the secret dog food was put on top.
When the food in his bag was almost eaten, the game of chess finally came to an end.
"Hahaha, Xingjun accepted."
"Huh, what are you giving in to? I've been playing for hundreds of years and I can't win a single game against you. You're still giving in. You don't even want me to win a game. If this continues, one day I won't be too lazy to leave this place with you. Let's see what you do then. ?”
"Hahaha, Xingjun, why should you be angry? The scenery here is beautiful and it is a good place to hide. Where can you go without this place? Are you going to Guyunzhou to join those despondent guys?"
"But it's not necessarily impossible... Hey, who are you?"
At this time, the two immortals finally noticed Xiao Jie who was watching, and they all looked at Xiao Jie in surprise.
Xiao Jie hurriedly used the action - kneel down.
I was immediately stunned.
"Two immortals, I am under the Yin Yue Sui Feng. I have risked my life to come here because I really have something to ask for. I also ask the two immortals to help me. This matter is of great importance. Please forgive me if I have offended you."
He stopped pretending now. The Immortal was not a fool. He was so carefree and brought food and drinks to join in the fun. He must have wanted something.
Just ask directly.
The two immortals also looked helpless.
The black-robed immortal said angrily: "You are so ignorant. You broke in here for no reason, and you want to ask me to do something? Is there such a thing in the world? How did you make the meatballs just now? Take two more to eat eat."
The white-clothed immortal smiled and said: "That's all, since we have eaten your wine and meat, we have shouldered your karma. Please tell us what happened. If you can help us, we will help you. But first, we will wait. I am reclusive here because I don’t want to be contaminated by the evils of the mortal world. I can’t do anything to help you personally. I can only give you some guidance on the road.”
As soon as the white-clothed immortal finished speaking, a dialog box popped up in front of Xiao Jie's eyes.
Option 1: Thank you, Master Immortal. I do have a question.
Option 2: Thank you, Mr. Immortal. Actually, a white ape asked me to ask a question (task) for him.
Xiao Jie was slightly startled, huh? You can also ask your own questions!
Yes, this game has such a high degree of freedom that you can naturally operate it.
Just like helping the big ape pick red fruits before, choosing to give up the mission reward and keep the red fruits for yourself is also a choice.
The situation he faced now was similar. He could either help White Ape ask questions or exchange the questions for a peerless sword skill.
Or you can ask the questions you want to ask yourself, so that although you won't get a reward, you can get the guidance of the immortal. This kind of thing is not something ordinary people can encounter.
Immortals must know a lot of hidden information that mortals don't know, such as - how to become an immortal!
I am afraid that only immortals can know this kind of thing.
But Xiao Jie didn't dare to make a rash decision. It's not that easy to become an immortal. If he messed up, it would be all in vain.
The possibility of becoming an immortal is not very high, but Bai Yuan's peerless martial arts is very likely to be achieved.
How to choose between the two...
Xiao Jie was tangled in his heart and read the introduction to the Qi Yu mission again.
[Mission goal: Help White Ape Sword Saint resolve the doubts in his heart. 】
Looking at the introduction of the mission, Xiao Jie suddenly felt something in his heart. The mission only asked to help Bai Yuan resolve his doubts, but it did not say that he must get the answer from the immortal. If he could help him resolve his doubts, wouldn't he be able to get two waves of rewards? ?
White Ape's current situation is probably a matter of identity.
It has lived with humans since childhood and is accustomed to human wisdom, but it is a monkey itself and cannot gain a sense of belonging in human society.
As for the monkey, although he is a monkey, his mind is completely different from the ordinary monkeys. This makes him dislike those monkeys for being too stupid, so he cannot gain a sense of belonging from the monkey society.
This resulted in it being stuck in both directions. Even if it became the King of Monkey Valley, it would not feel very happy.
It’s not difficult to understand. If I were the monkey king in a zoo in reality, I wouldn’t be happy either.
So how can the white ape gain a sense of belonging?
Xiao Jie thought about it for a few times, and his eyes suddenly lit up, and he actually thought of a way.
Haha, I'm really a genius. As long as I do this, I'm sure Bai Yuan will be satisfied.
This way there will be no problem. Let’s keep this problem to ourselves.
I decisively chose option 1.
"Thank you, Immortal, I do have a question."
"Speaking."
Then no dialog box appeared again. Obviously this problem can be solved on its own, so there is no need to worry about it.
"I want to know how to become an immortal! Please ask the immortal to point out a clear path."
