Chapter 14 Derivative Mission Yangzhou Massacre

Chapter 14 Derivative Mission: The Ten Massacres in Yangzhou
In the evening, it was dusk.

There was fighting everywhere in the primeval forest. The attacks of unknown shadows caused most of the alien species to enter a state of fright, and their bloodthirstiness increased several levels.

Jiang He was running in the forest, with a two-meter-tall wild boar chasing him closely from behind. Its neck was surrounded by pale fangs, its eyes were dark green, and the corners of its mouth were stained with blood.

There was a huge rock blocking the road ahead. Jiang Hehu jumped up, kicked the rock hard, and then flipped backwards.

Seeing its prey flying into the air, the wild boar pounced forward. Its heavy body seemed unusually light at this moment, but its power was not reduced at all. It hit the boulder head-on, and spider-web-like cracks extended out immediately, and then shattered with a loud bang.

At the moment of landing, the ground collapsed and the wild boar fell into a trap. The dozen or so wooden spears inside pierced the prey's body, but they all broke as it struggled violently.

Jiang He came to the trap and threw the steel fork in his hand, thus ending the battle. The prompt sound rang, but he temporarily blocked it.

Lao Hei appeared from behind the tree and said with a little complacency: "Done, your skills are still fierce."

"This guy has an uncanny ability to make heavy things look easy."

Jiang He dragged the prey up from the other side of the gentle slope with great effort, skinned and boned it, and put it into the bag.

Lao Hei brought the prepared mold and said jokingly: "This half dragon is really our benefactor. Fortunately, he won at that time."

Someone nodded. Judging from the results, it was indeed true. The half-dragon was in a critical stage of evolution. Its blood essence was a great tonic. And after the half-dragon bones came into contact with the extraordinary remains of the alien species, the signs of its evolution were revived.

Jiang He stretched out his finger to press against the mold. The five skeletons of Mountain Ghost, Mountain Lady, Woodcutter, White Jade Elephant and Wild Boar had been absorbed by the Half-Dragon Bones. He now carefully opened a few storage bags, allowing only molten iron-like liquid to pass through. If it was a little bigger, an explosion would occur in the dense forest.

Freed from the extreme heat radiation environment of the item bag, the liquid solidified into a two-meter-four spear. Due to the addition of a large amount of white jade and ivory powder, the spear was silver-white all over, and the giant snake pattern on the end of the spear was extremely ferocious, as if it harbored infinite hatred.

[Metal and Fire, Bronze Age Primitive Metallurgy]
[Player 79966 obtains passive skill: Casting Entry Level 1 (Smelting effect increased by 2%)]
[Name: Long-lasting Spear]
[Type: Weapon]
[Quality: Excellent]
[Effects: ①Weighing 3,000 jin, as light as a feather. ②Extremely strong. ③Eternal Hate Strike: Increases weight through the user's hatred]
[Note: It only recognizes the person it wants to kill]
The moment the Everlasting Regret Spear was completed, the mold was crushed and a clear dent appeared on the ground.

Jiang He picked up the silver spear. Three thousand jin was equal to one and a half tons, which was equivalent to a weight of one hundred jin in ancient times. However, he felt it was as light as a feather and it did not affect his body. The modern standard spear weighs about 10 to 12 jin, which is a huge difference in terms of weight alone.

"If you touch it, you will be injured. If you touch it, you will die."

Jiang He's hands flew, the gun shadow was like a shield, and a rolling strong wind swept in all directions. This gun can be used as the main weapon for a long time in the early and middle stages of the game. However, it is not perfect. At least the "Eternal Strike" is meaningless to him, and because the casting process is quite rough, the tip of the gun is not sharp.

"Unfortunately, I don't have any deep hatred."

Lao Hei said happily, "This is definitely a huge treasure waiting to be developed. Judging from the performance of that mysterious shadow, we may be the only explorers of this border."

"It is better to be cautious... "

Jiang He was about to speak when he found that his thinking was gradually becoming dull. He didn't know when, but the whole mountain and field were covered with monkeys with dark green fur, each standing like a sculpture, quietly and without a sound.

Lao Hei was horrified and wanted to grab someone and run away, but the other person stopped him with a look.

On a huge rock, a snow-white animal the size of a human head slowly glanced around. Seeing that there were no alien creatures that could move, it nodded unconsciously. It came to a leaf monkey. Although the latter had intense fear in its eyes, it could only become a meal.

The snow-white little beast suddenly jumped onto the leaf monkey's head and sucked gently, shattering the prey's skull and taking in the jelly-like liquid. It yawned with satisfaction and turned away.

The leaf monkey, who could transform himself into a leaf and fall asleep to rest, fell to the ground and could not get up.

After a moment, the mental retardation disappeared.

Jiang He and Lao Hei immediately evacuated the area. The monkeys all over the mountain noticed the intruders and rushed forward to chase them.

"The ape is trying to cross the river and is climbing up. According to legend, it feeds on monkeys. Apes and monkeys have no power to resist it when they encounter it. The impact diameter is at least two kilometers. I just felt my thoughts stop."

Lao Hei replied as he ran, "I am not affected."

Chased by tens of thousands of leaf monkeys, the intruders disturbed the sacred day of tribute, which was simply unforgivable.

It was not until the man and the dog escaped to the Yuwang Monument that the leading old monkey reluctantly stopped.

The monkeys were born from leaf monkeys, and they would kill those monkeys who had the potential to challenge them. After generations of high pressure and struggle, the monkeys would stand firmly on the side of the old leader before the new monkeys killed the old monkeys. As time passed, the new monkeys would become stronger and stronger. Even if the leader was extremely powerful, this way of survival could maintain a sense of crisis. A monument separates yin and yang.

Jiang He returned to the present and received the mission reward.

[Task name: Kill five alien species 5/5]
[Task Reward ①: 100 experience points, 100 game coins]
[Task Reward ②: Random Ordinary Quality Scroll *1]
[Task evaluation: A, experience points and game coins gain 160% bonus]
[Player Level: LV3 (275/300)]
[Game Coins: 475]
[Name: Hypnosis]
[Category: Active Skills]
[Quality: Ordinary]
[Effect: Hypnotize living beings through words and body movements. The effect depends on the suggestion amplitude and mental value. Each use consumes 30 energy points.]
[Note: People should do whatever they want!]
After completing the daily task, Jiang He tore up the scroll and successfully learned the hypnosis skill. This special ability rarely appears in serious situations, but it is still very useful.

He took out the cinnabar mirror, looked at himself inside, and activated his hypnotic ability.

"Makes the heart beat faster."

After the words fell, Jiang He relaxed his mind and accepted hypnosis. He clearly heard the sound of thumping. The Garuda Egg made the heart stronger than before and could provide more powerful blood pumping ability, but the blood vessels could not bear it, so the increase could not reach a significant level.

A moment later, white steam emanated from someone's head, and his skin gradually turned red. After three Garuda modes, his speed and reaction ability increased by 30%, and it could be superimposed with mode one or mode two.

……

Night falls.

Jiang He and Lao Hei went down the mountain and reached the foot of the mountain. The head of the Yingzhou man had become a horrible sight. Ants were gnawing at his flesh and blood, and a civet cat was grinding its teeth with his skull. He had endured great pain before his death.

Returning to the small red brick building and closing the door, Jiang He took off his half-dragon armor and took out the Changhen Spear from his item bag. With its extremely strong properties, the spear could be preserved in the heat radiation environment. He raised the spear, aimed it at the scales and began to drill holes.

Lao Hei brought more scales. The half dragon was more than ten meters long, and the materials on its body were more than enough to make one or two sets of armor.

Jiang He worked hard until midnight, and using his long beard as a rope, he finally wove a full-body scale suit. The suit was light in texture and provided considerable protection. Due to the more reasonable arrangement and distribution, it was very close-fitting and no longer so bulky.

[Name: Half-dragon Scale Cloth]
[Type: Armor]
[Quality: Rare]
[Effect: Light and Tough]
[Note: This can easily attract the hatred of snake creatures]
everything's ready.

Jiang He took out the cinnabar mirror again and said to himself: "I need to go into a deep sleep."

The moon is dim and the stars are sparse, and I feel sleepy.

Lao Hei lay on the ground with his legs crossed, his furry ears erect, patiently alert to the movements around him.

……

The sky will be bright.

After Lao Hei noticed that someone had woken up, he fell asleep.

Jiang He opened his eyes and felt refreshed.

Although this deep sleep lasted only three or four hours, it completely eliminated the fatigue he had accumulated during this period.

However, the hypnosis skill is of only ordinary quality, and cannot reach the level of command when used. The effect is roughly equivalent to that of an expert hypnotist, completing the hypnosis process in a short period of time. Whether it will be successful is closely related to many factors such as spirit, vigilance, and rationality.

Jiang He examined himself and found that his strength, physique and agility were all far beyond the human average. He had three modes derived from the Garuda Egg, basic spearmanship level 7, two active skills, an excellent main weapon, a rare armor, and six gas shocks that could erupt at any time.

He cannot achieve qualitative improvement in a short period of time.

Everything is ready, it's time to use the black card.

Jiang He chose to start the [derivative task]. This kind of task is different from the daily one. The origin game does not have a mandatory requirement. The shortest interval between tasks is half a month. Correspondingly, the danger is greatly increased.

The authority profession assessment card can only be opened in [derivative tasks] and [world tasks].

After starting the mission, a reminder sounded. The difficulty of the mission would increase accordingly if the player carried modern weapons and non-personal equipment. Jiang He abandoned his pistol and bullets, and then a cutscene appeared in front of him. The important town fell, and cavalry ravaged the land. Corpses piled up like mountains, and blood flowed like canals. An endless army crossed the river and headed south. The field of vision was full of displaced victims, cannons bombarded the city walls, and arrows rained down. It was a scene of blood and chaos.

[The mountains and rivers are broken, and the body is like duckweed]
[In 1645, the internal turmoil in the Southern Ming Dynasty was particularly severe. General Zuo led his army to approach the secondary capital in the name of clearing the emperor's side. He died of illness on the way and his son succeeded him. The Southern Ming Dynasty pursued the strategy of using the enemy to suppress the bandits and mobilized the four towns in northern Jiangsu to come back for support. The Iron Hat King Tie Duo led a large army to cross the river easily and besieged Yangzhou City. Before that, victims from all directions poured in, not knowing where to go.]
