Chapter 199: Broken Throat
The scraping continues.
By 12 o'clock, the entire village was almost wiped out, and the players didn't even spare the tables, chairs, and benches.
Finally, the system prompt sounded.
[System prompt: The mayor of Luoyang Town has used the order to recruit refugees, and refugees have begun to appear around Heiyan Village. Please ask those who have returned home nearby to escort them. You can collect the bounty from the peace officer of Heiyan Village based on the number of people you escort in the end. 】
[System prompt: The rule of the Black Wind Mountain forces in Black Rock Village has been ended. The area has been changed from a dangerous area to a neutral area. The Black Wind Mountain camp monsters will no longer be refreshed around Black Rock Village, and the resident monsters will be changed to 'refugees' (neutral units). ), 'lone bandit', 'escaping bandit', 'ferocious wild dog'. 】
Follow the system prompts.
Sure enough, a refugee officer appeared outside the village, accompanied by four guards.
As soon as he entered the village, he started posting notices on the bulletin board, announcing the task of escorting the refugees. He also exchanged greetings with Qianlong Wuyong and thanked him for leading the returnees to regain the Black Rock Village that had been occupied by monsters. The village has now been included in the Under the rule of Luoyang Town...
This escort of refugees does not have the prestige of the state capital, only the prestige of Luoyang Town, but at least there is a bounty, which can be regarded as some benefits.
So the players who had just finished harvesting went out to find the refugees one after another, and then escorted them to the village. The officials then transformed the refugees into villagers. Soon there were many NPCs in the village.
There were lumberjacks, woodcutters, construction workers, farmers, carpenters, blacksmiths... A large group of NPCs were busy minding their own business, and even some high-level ones directly became militia guards in the village.
Seeing a small, dilapidated village gradually rejuvenating, Xiao Jie felt quite emotional, and he felt somewhat accomplished after this operation.
It's a pity that this village is not owned by them.
"Speaking of which, why has no one recovered the village before? The benefits are obviously so huge."
Qianlong Wuyong sighed, "Why not? Each of these villages has been recaptured several times."
"ah?"
"Don't be surprised. Even though we have regained the village now and it seems to have become a safe area, disasters will continue to happen here in the future, either from bandits invading, plagues raging, or demons coming, and the village will eventually be destroyed. It turns into a monster lair again, and the villagers will also be massacred. Maybe these NPCs will become monsters in the future.
Only Novice Village has a systematic protection mechanism that prevents it from suffering such disasters. Otherwise, towns with strong defense capabilities like Luoyang Town can remain safe.
Of course, there is another way, which is to slay the dragon and build a country. As long as you successfully establish a country, you can occupy the territory and develop the territory. "
Xiao Jie said in his heart that it was like that, but the Hidden Dragon was really serious about not using it, and he would publicize their plan at every turn.
However, he is now also a member of the Dragon Knights, so naturally he cannot sing the opposite.
"Yes, yes, from now on we will build a country, eradicate troubled times, slay demons, and make this world a peaceful one."
Qianlong Wuyong was a little speechless at his high-profile behavior, "Sui Feng Keqing, we are all adults, there is no need to be so pretentious, we can just talk about business."
"What! You actually look at me like that, oh, you make me so sad. You know, brother Qianlong, I joined the Dragon Knights because of the ambition of President Long Xing Tianxia. As the saying goes, like-minded people And Daohe, when you say that, you are treating me like an outsider."
Qianlong Wuyong was speechless for a moment, and said helplessly: "As long as you are happy, Mr. Suifeng. Since Brother Suifeng is so righteous, it would be better to participate in the meeting at 3pm to summarize combat experience."
"Definitely."
When Qianlong Wuyong left, Xiao Jie did not stay in this small village any longer.
Although Qianlong need not say that the disaster in this village will happen in the future, but when he said this, he felt that it was not as safe as in Luoyang Town.
When riding towards the town, I found that all the Black Wind Mountain bandits around the village had disappeared, and were replaced by level 12 "lonely bandits" and level 13 "escaping bandits" that were very scattered.
These two monsters are not only lower in level than the Black Wind Mountain bandits, but they also appear alone, making them very suitable for players to kill for leveling.
There are also the classic wild dogs, which are a bit higher than those in Novice Village, reaching levels 7-9. Because there are only two, three or three to five of them in one brush, they are the most threatening monster in the vicinity.
It is conceivable that this area will become a new leveling treasure land in the future.
There are maps for spawning monsters everywhere in this game, but maps that allow ordinary players to level up without danger are really valuable.
Xiao Jie returned to Luoyang Town and first checked Xiong Da's loyalty. As expected, after such a long time of joint adventure and eating so much secret dog food, the loyalty had already reached 100%.
"Xiong Da, teach me your intimidating roar."
"Master, why are you learning this? You humans have too small voices to learn this."
"Let me teach you. What nonsense are you talking about? Hurry up. Do you still want to eat meatballs?"
"Aww, teach, teach, teach, I'm going to teach you - watch carefully - roar!"
There was a deafening roar of a bear. Fortunately, the volume had been turned down in advance, otherwise it would have been a bit scary.
[System prompt: Your pet Xiong Da has taught you a combat skill—Shocking Roar. 】Yes, yes, this way the Tiger Roaring Skill can come in handy. In fact, he also had a roaring skill before - barking, but it was really useless.
When I wanted to become an immortal, I also learned a roar, which shows that there should be quite a few such battle cry skills.
Xiao Jie checked the newly learned skills.
[Shocking Roar (War Cry)
Use: Let out a deafening roar, shocking surrounding enemies and possibly causing them to freeze for 1-3 seconds.
Side effects: Sore throat. There is a 30% chance of damaging your vocal cords when using this combat skill, causing you to fall into a state of silence for 5-15 seconds.
Introduction to combat skills: Imitate the roar of a ferocious grizzly bear, use a terrifying roar to intimidate your enemies, making them unable to act due to fear. However, the fragile vocal cords of humans may be injured, so please use with caution. 】
Not bad, the control effect of 1-3 seconds is much worse than the terrifying face, and it is still 'possible', but fortunately it is a group control skill, which will be very useful in group fights.
As for the silence effect - I am not a magician, so I don't need to recite the spell, so it won't have much impact.
In the future, when the tiger's roar skill reaches the full level, the power of the frightening roar will be doubled, and the effect of controlling a group of enemies with one voice will be quite powerful.
Thinking of this, Xiao Jie has decided to learn the Tiger Roaring Kung Fu as his second internal skill.
Heading straight to the auction house, Xiao Jie prepared to buy himself some items to improve his physical fitness.
It's just 3 points of physical constitution difference, just get some pills and you'll be fine.
After searching, there are quite a lot of elixirs for improving physical fitness.
Shiquan Dabu Dan (Elixir): Improves all your basic attributes by 3 points each for 60 minutes. ——10 taels of silver each.
Thousand-year-old ginseng (medicinal material/legendary): Increases your physical fitness and endurance by 10 points each for 24 hours - 50 taels of silver each.
Ginseng Guben Pills (Elixir): Increase your physical fitness by 5 points, lasting for 60 minutes - 5 taels of silver each...
It’s you.
Xiao Jie decisively took one.
Five taels of silver...just to get some attributes, it's a bit luxurious. In fact, you can wait until you level up again and add physical fitness before practicing.
However, Xiao Jie knows very well that it is better to learn martial arts sooner rather than later. You may encounter some dangers during the leveling process, just like today when you beat the bandit leader and suddenly found that your internal strength is not enough... In short, just spend some money. Spend some money, we are also guests of the Grand Guild now, so we don’t need this little money.
After spending another three taels of silver to buy three Yuan Ju Dan, before the meeting, Xiao Jie decided to go to the martial arts studio to open a quiet room to practice his internal skills for a while.
He went straight to the martial arts hall and found the Qigong instructor "Hunyuan Yiqi" Duan Yu to open a quiet room for practicing Qigong.
After entering the quiet room and taking a ginseng solid pill, Xiao Jie double-clicked the secret book in his backpack.
A diagram of internal force movement immediately appeared in front of his eyes.
The meridians of the Tiger Roaring Kung Fu are concentrated on the meridians in the chest and abdomen. At first glance, they are related to the Roaring Kung Fu.
Xiao Jie had the experience of learning the Flying Goose Kung Fu, and he was very skilled in operating his internal energy, and he did it perfectly in one circle.
[System prompt: You have learned a new skill [Tiger Roar Skill (intermediate internal skill)], and your current internal skill level is level one. 】
Seeing that the upper limit of the internal force value was increased to 350, Xiao Jie nodded with satisfaction. If the Tiger Roaring Skill is fully practiced, it will reach the upper limit of 800 points of internal force value, which is enough for the early stage.
From now on, I can finally use mysteries with confidence and boldness.
However, the effect of the Tiger Roaring Kung Fu is not obvious yet, so it is better to use the Flying Goose Kung Fu.
After taking a Yuan Ju Dan, Xiao Jie sat cross-legged in the quiet room and started practicing. It took him more than two hours to successfully practice Tiger Roar Kung Fu to the second level. Now the upper limit of internal energy reached 400 points. It's already quite impressive.
However, it will take some time to master it, so there is no need to rush.
Seeing that it was almost time for the meeting, Xiao Jie was ready to leave first.
When he walked to the door, he said hello to the qigong instructor out of habit and was about to leave.
‘Hunyuan Yiqi’ Duan Yu (qigong instructor): “Little brother, I think the robe you are wearing looks familiar, but I don’t know where it comes from?”
