Chapter 23 It really happened this time
“There’s a situation!”
Chen Shicheng was so excited that he quickly came to the corner and hid behind a tree to observe the situation.
On the path ahead, three carriages filled with boxes are crowded together. The mules pulling the carriages are slightly restless and are pawing the ground anxiously, raising a cloud of dust. Three horsemen dressed as The NPC is constantly comforting me.
On the periphery of the carriage, there was a circle of officers and soldiers standing in two rows, trying their best to resist the siege of dozens of wild monsters. There was another person standing behind them, holding a long gun and loudly appeasing everyone's emotions.
The wild monster surrounding them, Chen Shicheng, was no stranger to them either. He was none other than the Soulless Bandit.
But in addition to them, there were some humanoid wild monsters riding horses, which he had never seen before. Out of curiosity, he used the Eyes of White Ze to check the opponent's data.
[Lv.4 Horse Thief, Essence 6, Qi 6, God 0.5, Skills: Charge, Trample, Plunder. 】
It is a wild monster of the same level as Chen Shicheng. It seems to be an enhanced version of the Soulless Bandit, but its statistics are pitifully weak compared to him.
Latiao can easily deal with these guys without even having to take action himself.
However, in order to maximize profits, he did not take action directly. Instead, he stood up from behind the tree and shouted to the NPC who seemed to be the leader of the team, "Brother, do you want to help?"
" Yes, Young Hero arrived just in time. If he can save us, we will be rewarded generously afterwards!"
As the NPC team leader finished speaking, a system prompt came on the panel.
[Discovery mission: Rescue the convoy]
[Task description: Three convoys departing from the Ironmaking Town to transport iron ingots were suddenly surrounded by wild monsters attracted by unknown reasons. The team was in danger. Asking you for help and promising to pay it forward later. 】
[Task Reward: Unknown]
Look, maximizing benefits is that simple.
You can ask for directions after rescuing these people, you will get unknown rewards for accepting the mission, you will get experience for killing monsters, and you will have the merit of rescuing people after you succeed.
This is a good thing that kills four birds with one stone. All you need to do is say hello in advance and you will make a lot of money!
"Latiao, do it, leave the last bit to me!" Chen Shicheng patted his chest and said softly.
"Squeak!"
As the marten screamed, a black shadow suddenly shot out from his chest, pulling out afterimages and rushing into the horse thieves.
Although La Tiao is just a small sable and cannot mobilize the meager amount of Qi in his body, level 7 is level 7, which instantly crushes the horse thief who is only level 4.
With just one encounter, the sharp little claws drew blood marks on the horse thief's body, and cut off the horse's neck at the same time, and then went straight to the next horse thief.
Chen Shicheng followed behind, holding a tree trunk as thick as an arm, and casually slashed at the horse thief who was pressed by the horse.
As for why you can use a wooden stick to use Dao Gang, it can only be said that the basic knife skills that break the limit are too outrageous.
At the perfect level, the most basic knife skills allow Chen Shicheng to reach a state of subtlety, and he can use the knife like a pen.
But after breaking through this level, the level of swordsmanship soared to the point where everything in the world can be used as a sword. Not to mention a wooden stick, even a mop can still use the sword at will.
It's just that the power is slightly attenuated compared to using a knife, but as long as it's not a master attack, it's still enough to deal with these wild monsters.
“Everyone, use your strength and chop these bastards to death!”
"Follow your orders!"
With the addition of Chen Shicheng, the morale of these officers and soldiers was obviously high, and the strength of their hands was also increased. They chopped down several soulless bandits in an instant.
As for their behavior of grabbing monsters, Chen Shicheng just glanced at them and stopped caring. Anyway, the experience of such small monsters at level 1 to 2 has been greatly reduced, and it doesn't matter whether they grab them or not.
Soon, with the joint efforts of both parties, the wild monsters surrounding the convoy were quickly cleared away. The officers and soldiers narrowly escaped death, lying on the ground one by one, breathing in the fresh air, while Chen Shicheng happily inspected his harvest.
There are not many Lv.4 horse thieves, only 17. However, because they are at the same level as him, the experience has not diminished, so the experience in his experience pool has reached exactly half a hundred.
[Experience: 50/100]
However, this is not a big deal. The most gratifying thing is the merit income this time.
Saving the old man and the little girl from the Li family has 20 points of merit, so this time I saved 14 people, isn't it going to be great!
[Saved the lives of 11 officers and soldiers, and 3 horsemen. The special effect of the Sky-stealing Pendant was activated. Whether to extract 140 merit points this time. (Remaining times 3/3)]
extract!
【Merit: 254】
“I am finally not only rich in money, but also developed in character!!!”
“Thank you so much The hero came to the rescue, but I can't repay him. I hope that the young hero will not dislike him."
While Chen Shicheng was still lamenting his virtues and talents, the captain was dragging his tired body away. Come over and hand over a piece of black ore with both hands.
"I don't dislike it, I don't dislike it. It's all according to my heart, so I'll accept it."
Taking the ore in Duizheng's hand, Chen Shicheng directly used the Eye of White Ze to check it. property.
[Dark Iron]
[Introduction: There are rare ores mined in large veins with a very small probability. When making weapons, they are added to increase sharpness and toughness. 】
Good guy.
I thought the mission reward would be some silver coins or something like that, but I didn't expect there was a little surprise.
The team saw that Chen Shicheng had accepted the black iron he had collected and was quite satisfied. He breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Look at the direction the young hero is heading. Is he going to Iron Smelting Town?"< br>
"Yes, I was about to go there. Can I get there by walking along this road?" Chen Shicheng put Xuan Tie into the storage column and pointed in the direction of the convoy.
"Yes, if you walk a dozen miles further you can see the town." Dui Zheng said hesitantly, "I wonder if I can trouble you with one more thing? "
"Huh?"
Chen Shicheng raised his head in surprise. He didn't expect that this team was so promising and gave him two tasks in a row. "Tell me, I can help you. I will definitely help.”
“There are suddenly more monsters on the road. I want to write a letter to remind others. I wonder if the young hero can send this letter to the town guard?”
[Discovery mission: Delivering a letter]
[Task description: The team is trying to send back to Iron Smelting Town the news that a large number of wild monsters suddenly appeared on the road leading to Huangchi County, and is asking for your help. 】
[Task reward: Increased favorability of the guards of Ironmaking Town]
The rewards for this mission are somewhat unsatisfactory.
However, it was a question of transportation anyway, so Chen Shicheng did not refuse and agreed with a nod.
Soon, the team leader wrote a letter and handed it to him. He also gave him a waistband to prove his identity, saying that the guards would treat him well after seeing the waistband.
Chen Shicheng did not expect the NPC to entertain him with anything good. After collecting the two things, he continued on his way amidst the thanks from the officers and soldiers.
