Chapter 80: First Journey into the Wilderness
After shopping around the commercial street with money, Luo Jun finally bought a double-headed spear and a shield.
His original intention was to buy a sword or something that was easy to carry and light, but after using it, he found that it was not very convenient.
After all, during this period, I mainly practiced unarmed fighting, and my sword skills were basically unknown. Luo Jun sorted out his thoughts. He wanted weapons because he was new to the wilderness and didn't understand the characteristics of various monsters and poisonous insects. He was afraid of suffering losses in close combat.
Looking at it this way, the attack range is the primary requirement. He has never touched a bow or crossbow. After thinking about it, the most suitable one is a spear. The attack range is longer than that of a sword, and it is easier to use. A jab can produce considerable damage.
As for high-end skills, they are not what he should consider now.
Luo Jun touched the spear in his hand. It was a detachable weapon. The spear shaft was made of a plant similar to bamboo. It was hollow, hard, and light. The pole is more than two meters long, with spear points more than a foot long on both sides. The material seems to be the teeth of some kind of giant beast. It is sharp on both sides.
The connecting rod and the spear are more than three meters long in total. There is a buckle in the middle of the spear shaft, which can be separated to form two short guns of 1.6 meters, which are easy to carry. When connected together, they become a long gun. Can increase attack range.
As for the shield, it looks more like an enlarged gauntlet. It seems to be made from the claws of some kind of crustacean. It is thick but light when worn on the hand. It does not affect the holding of the weapon and is convenient. Block attacks.
Luo Jun bought these two items from the same stall. The boss originally asked for 7,000 for the spear and 5,000 for the shield. For weapons with no special effects and only good materials, the asking price was a bit too high. high.
Although the points coupons can be exchanged for Cathay coins one to ten when leaving the wilderness, the Cathay coins cannot be exchanged for points coupons. In this way, it is entirely up to the Wilderness Hunters Guild to decide how many Wilderness Vouchers are in circulation in Lingyun City. In Lingyun City, everything depends on Wilderness Vouchers, which means that the purchasing power of Wilderness Vouchers is completely different from the Cathay Coin of the same value in the main world.
For the basic needs of life, such as food, clothing, housing and transportation, you often have to pay hundreds or thousands of Wilderness Vouchers, which can be converted into tens of thousands of Sinian coins. Compared with the consumption in the main world, it is really too high.
But on the other hand, some weapons and even Noble Phantasms can be purchased here for tens of thousands of dollars. Compared with the main world, tens of thousands can buy a Noble Phantasm, even the lowest-level white Noble Phantasm. , it can also be said that a big mistake has been made!
There is no way, who made it extremely difficult for the materials in the two worlds to circulate. The Hunter Guild, which controls the channels, regulates it, resulting in the current situation.
Rather than saying that the exchange rate between Wilderness Voucher and Cathay Coin is one to ten, it is better to say that exchanging Cathay Coin is an additional function of Wilderness Voucher. If most hunters are not in a hurry to spend money, they will wait until they decide to retire, then exchange their accumulated Wilderness Tickets for Cathay Coins and return to the main world to retire.
Of course, Luo Jun couldn't buy it at the original price. With his firm attitude and the "insignificant" help of the wealth ring, he won the total of 8,000 yuan.
However, 8,000 points are not very serious for Luo Jun now. Doubling it only gives him a few dozen points of experience. At this point, he only has more than 30 points left to reach level 15. Experienced.
It has to be said that Luo Jun now has less and less experience in daily life. It has been two days since he completed the Tower of Decision, and in the end he has not made up the more than one hundred experience.
There were more than 4,000 Wilderness Tickets left in his pocket. Luo Jun first bought some supplies, including dry food, antidotes, wound medicine and bandages. He spent more than 2,000, and then returned to the guild. The Shenjiang Stone Hammer was deposited.
This thing is indeed precious and powerful, but it is a bit too early to make him a weapon now. Although Luo Jun was strong enough, carrying this thing, his weight soared to almost 800 kilograms, and he could hear the creaking sound of the floorboards when he went up the stairs. What's more, once this thing is out of hand, its weight immediately increases to nearly two tons. If it is accidentally dropped to the ground, it can break through the floor of the dormitory.
Let's leave it alone for now. When this trip to the wilderness is over, I will probably have a breakthrough when I come back next month. By then, this thing will be weightless in my hand and will be easy to carry around.
Whether it was considering the value or weight of Shenjiang Stone Hammer, Luo Jun chose the strongest bottom safe for it. The storage fee alone was one thousand points per month.
Looking at the remaining money in his hand with heartache, he had another big meal with tears in his eyes. We have a mission the next day, so we must keep up with our nutrition!
After finishing this meal, there are not many coupons left.
“Brother Kai, thank you for your kindness, I will definitely pay you back!”
Luo Jun returned to the dormitory and made a promise in his heart, burping and falling asleep.
Early the next morning, he arrived at the Hunter Guild carrying a supply bag, a shield, and a spear.
The central square is particularly lively today. Hundreds of heavily armed hunters gathered here. They must have taken on large missions.
Luo Jun looked around and didn’t see the father and daughter from yesterday’s Transfiguration Sect. Did he not sign up after asking?
After waiting for a while, a staff member led several hunters out of the union door: "Everyone, I announce that as of now, a total of 438 hunters have signed up, and this large-scale mission is officially Activate!" "Oh, oh, oh!" cheers erupted.
“Next, our guild’s guide will lead everyone to the ant nest. Due to the raging fire ants, the jungle in the southeast is not peaceful now. I hope everyone will not fall behind!”
“This This large-scale mission lasts for a month. Starting tomorrow, we will gather at the ant nest at 8 o'clock every morning, and then gather at the lake in the northwest of the ant nest at 5 o'clock in the evening and come back together. Remember, don't spend the night near the ant nest, the fire is fierce! Ants live in dim ant nests and mainly rely on pheromones and hearing to transmit information. The night has little effect on them, and there are even bonuses. It is very dangerous to move near the ant nest at night! During the duration, if you want to join the mission, you can sign up at any time. We will only give out rewards based on loot and redemption coupons in the end!”
…………
After talking about the precautions, several staff members wearing field equipment walked up. They should be the so-called guides.
Under the leadership of the guide, many hunters left the square in a mighty manner, passed through the southeast city gate, and entered the wild jungle.
This is Luo Jun's first official contact with the wilderness. He is in the middle of the team and is equipped with a shield in his left hand. He has a short gun behind his back and the other in his right hand. He is quite wary. Observing the surrounding environment.
The wild jungle, like the main world, is mainly green, but the plants are taller, the dense and interlaced canopy blocks the sky, and the shapes are more diverse and weird. Luo Jun even saw some plants swaying their branches. It was not the wind or the disturbance of animals. He was sure that it was the plants themselves that were moving.
“Be careful, that’s a man-eating tree!”
There was a reminder from beside him. Luo Jun turned around and saw that it was a young guide.
There are seven guides leading the team. They are not all concentrated at the front of the team, but are scattered throughout the team to prevent anyone from falling behind. This young man happened to be walking next to Luo Jun.
Although wilderness hunters also hunt in the wild all year round, their understanding of the wilderness is still inferior to the professional guides trained by the guild.
And the guides this time are all selected outstanding ones. They are not only rich in experience, but also have abilities related to pathfinding, which shows that the guild attaches great importance to this mission!
"Is this your first time in the wild wilderness?" Probably out of boredom, the little brother smiled and said to Luo Jun: "The wild jungle is full of dangers, and some trees can also hunt prey, even more than animals. Brutal, be careful.”
"Thanks for the reminder." Luo Jun nodded.
"My name is Su Yun, what do you call me?" The little brother seemed quite talkative.
“Just call me Ye.” Luo Jun never forgets to maintain his character.
"Ye?" The little brother smiled, not caring that the other party hid his real name: "The danger in the wilderness lies in unexpected surprises beyond imagination. Many powerful practitioners stumbled when they first came to the wilderness. Because I don’t know enough about the wild.”
“Everything you see here, from birds and animals, to flowers and trees, from mountains and rivers, to the stones and sand under your feet, seems to be in the beautiful nature. There may be fatal dangers hidden in them”
As he said that, he looked at Luo Jun: "Here, it's best not to relax and stay alert."
Luo Jun was stunned for a moment and then understood. Su Yun talked to him not because he was bored, but because he saw that he had not activated his body-protecting energy, so he reminded him kindly.
Yin Gong can make Gang Qi invisible, but a guide who is proficient in perception can still tell the difference between hidden Gang Qi and no Gang Qi activated at all after careful observation at close range.
But how did he know that Luo Jun did not hide it intentionally by not opening the Gang Qi, it was really not allowed by his realm...
Thanks to the Herrscher of Knowledge who likes to eat melons for the reward of 500 starting coins. !
