Chapter 31: Abandoned Chapter
It is better to put Xiao Hei away first, and also store the Ring of the Betrayer. One's trump card cannot be revealed unless it is absolutely necessary.
He led his puppet team back, killing wolves and trampling grass along the way, invincible and rampant.
When Ma Yingjie arrived, the withered Bauhinia had already started a bloody battle with the lone jackal. Her skilled skills and clever positioning allowed her to kill the jackal without any danger every time.
Ma Yingjie thought to himself that if he didn't have Xiao Hei, he would not have the strength to fight the jackals alone. Of course, if he could summon the puppet team, it would be a piece of cake to deal with a few jackals.
"Phew~!"
Hearing some movement in the bushes behind him, the withered Bauhinia shot an arrow and killed the jackal, leaving only its bloody skin.
"Why are you so slow?" The withered redbud said dissatisfiedly: "Aren't you afraid of being eaten by wolves? With your level, you dare to wander around in Damir Grassland."
"It's okay. I don't have any level and no younger brothers~!" Lu Hao said confidently. His puppet team was no pushover. Lu Hao was confident that any player would not be his opponent in a one-on-one duel, of course, those who challenged one player in a group did not count.
He glanced at the group behind Ma Yingjie, the skinny skeleton warriors, the skeleton knights riding lame horses, the skeleton archers with bows and quivers on their backs, and the flying vampire bats.
"That's right. With such a strong backup force, you can be said to be able to do whatever you want in low-sensitivity professions." The withered Bauhinia nodded, her sexy lips slightly raised, and she attacked Ma Yingjie.
It is obvious that Ma Yingjie relies on summoned creatures rather than real strength. However, as a necromancer with very few skills in the early stage, what else can he do without relying on puppets? You can't let Ma Yingjie weaken the monsters and then kiss the monsters bit by bit with the light of death, thinking that they are fixed targets in the shooting range.
Ma Yingjie didn't bother to pay attention to these slightly sarcastic words, and went straight to the point: "Did the job transfer master tell you where the Jackal King is? Damir Grassland is so big, we can't search everywhere."
"There is a big canyon in the north of Damir Grassland. The Jackal King is in it." The withered redbud looked at the sky in the north that was covered by weeds and said thoughtfully, "It may take a lot of time. I can give you a little more money. I'm not afraid that you will cheat me. How about you name a price?"
Hearing this, Ma Yingjie couldn't hold back any longer. He didn't come here for the money she gave him. Although he never refused money, he was really polite this time.
"It's on the way anyway, so forget about the money. You've already promised me a lot of commissions. If you want to thank me, you can choose another way." Seeing the increasingly unfriendly eyes of the withering Bauhinia, Ma Hao quickly changed his words and said, "I mean, after completing the task, let me have the priority to choose equipment."
"Shadow, thank you." After looking at Lu Hao for a long time, just when Lu Hao thought that she was petrified by the Medusa hidden in the grass and wanted to touch her with his hand to see if she had become as cold as a stone, the withered Bauhinia said with a breath as sweet as orchid, and the tenderness between her eyebrows was lingering.
The Dead Mountains are to the west of Damir Grassland, and the Jackal King is to the north of Damir Grassland. There is no way to get to these two places.
"Ahem, let's get going. If we delay any longer, we'll be left behind soon." Ma Yingjie coughed hard to change the awkward atmosphere, and the leveling madwoman, Withered Bauhinia, also cooperated and let Ma Yingjie's attention be attracted to her.
"Yes, the person below me is at the same level as me. If I don't work hard to level up, he will ride on my head." Speaking of levels, the withered redbud Yi Hai opened up a torrent of words. For her, who has devoted her youth to online games, levels are like a pervert's pursuit of a beautiful woman.
..............................................................................
We walked northward along the unclear path on the grassland. All the monsters we saw along the way were jackals. According to the local specialties, this should be called the Jackal Prairie. Except for a small number of ferrets at the beginning, we didn't encounter any other creatures.
The Skeleton Knight was exploring the way ahead, and the Vampire Bat was supporting the Skeleton Knight. The five Skeleton Warriors protected the Soul and the Fallen Bauhinia Flower. The only Skeleton Archer in the team also enjoyed the same treatment as Ma Yingjie and the Fallen Bauhinia Flower.
The puppet squad maintained their battle formation, and tried to choose routes without monsters along the way. Occasionally, a few blind jackals would appear, and Ma Yingjie would directly use the Slowness and Weakness spells on them, often declaring the battle over before they could cast a Death Ray.
"Ouch~!"
Another jackal jumped out of the bushes by the roadside. The Skeleton Knight immediately rode his lame horse and rushed to the other side of it nimbly, raising his bone spear, shooting up and down, leaving a trail of blood. The vampire bat also flickered its wings full of rotten flesh, and squeaked as it attacked.
Lu Hao directly cast Weakness and Slowness spells, and the Withered Bauhinia immediately drew his bow and arrows, two consecutive arrows pierced directly, followed by another normal attack. This was the most efficient attack that the Withered Bauhinia had summed up after encountering monsters many times. At the beginning, the monsters often died after only a few arrows, and the experience was very little.
The skeleton archer also drew his bow and put an arrow on the bowstring, whoosh, and shot it at the jackal. The five skeleton warriors who were distributed around Lu Hao and the withered redbud rushed forward and directly cut the jackal, which had lost a lot of blood, into pieces.
Looking at the equipment and more than twenty silver coins dropped by the jackal, Ma Yingjie felt helpless, as his Betrayer's Ring had the function of automatically picking up items.
However, it was not the right time to talk about the possession of the artifact. After all, he was not familiar with the withered Bauhinia. No one knew whether she would have bad intentions when facing the artifact. Of course, this was all because Ma Yingjie judged others by his own standards. However, taking risks was not Ma Yingjie's character. Just like you can't let a person who pursues stability like gambling.
"It took about 5 seconds this time, one second slower than the last one. I wasn't concentrating. I'll have to be more careful next time." Bored, the withered Bauhinia began to calculate the time needed to kill a jackal. Lu Hao felt that her thinking was as unsolvable as a=12183, b=12183, a is not equal to b.
It is enough to remember the firepower that can be output in a short period of time. There is no need to calculate how long it will take. With high efficiency, the speed will naturally increase. This is a chain reaction.
He walked to the front and picked up the equipment and silver coins dropped by the jackal, and threw the silver coins directly into his backpack.
I don't know what the withered Bauhinia is in real life. She never wants the money dropped by monsters. After the initial discomfort, Ma Yingjie also accepted this concept of distribution.
Of course, if there are items that archers can equip, the fallen redbud will definitely not be polite.
[Azure Taragor Longbow] (Blue Equipment - Weapon)
Attack: 49
Increase attack speed by 5%
Requires professional archer
Requirement Level: Level 32
"A blue bow. You have good ones, so you don't want this one, right?" Waving the longbow in his hand towards the withered bauhinia flowers, Lu Hao was about to put it into his backpack. If he gave this thing to Lin Zhifei, he could sell it for golden coins.
Although a lot of blue equipment has been released now, it can still be sold for more than ten gold coins.
"Give it to me and let me see its properties." Seeing that Ma Yingjie wanted to directly enrich herself, the withered Bauhinia raised her eyebrows and gritted her teeth.
"Here." He handed over the gold coins in his pocket reluctantly.
"I'll take this. Nothing good will drop along the way. I don't want the other stuff."
"What do you want this thing for? Your compound chaos bow is not much better than this." Looking at the artifact compound chaos bow in the withered Bauhinia's hand, Ma Yingjie felt that the colorful light of the artifact was so cute.
"Give it to my little sister." Raising the composite chaos bow in his hand, the withered Bauhinia glanced at Ma Yingjie and said.
"That crazy girl, Wild Rose?" Thinking of Wild Rose, Lu Hao felt an indescribable meaning. Well, that was the first female player Lu Hao had seen in the game.
"What did you say? If I hear you say bad things about my little sister again, I'll tell her." Hearing what Lu Hao said, the withered redbud turned around angrily and waved the composite chaos bow at Lu Hao. However, Lu Hao could tell at a glance that the withered redbud was pretending. I don't know if it was because he often had a stern face, but the smile hidden in the eyes of the withered redbud could not be concealed at all.
........................................................................
The long road was deserted, we chatted for a while, and killed a few jackals. Wherever we passed, weeds and corpses were scattered all over the ground, and the bones of jackals and wolves were broken.
After walking for more than two hours, because they were looking for places with slow monster refreshes and small numbers along the way, Lu Hao's experience was still at 37% of level 82, and the experience of the withered redbud flower did not increase much.
"Is that small hill in front of us our destination?" Suddenly, he saw a small bulge in the distant sky. Bored, Ma Hao turned around and asked the withered Bauhinia following behind him.
"It should be, but according to the description on the map, it is not a small hill, but the largest mountain range on the Savage Continent - the Saint Gironska Mountains." The withered Bauhinia looked in the direction of Ma Ying-jeou's finger for a moment, took out a map from the ring, and studied it carefully for a while.
It was such a long journey, and Ma Yingjie fell into despair again. The weak mage was not suitable for a long journey.
"Where did you get this map?" Lu Hao glanced at the map and suddenly saw the words "Produced by Seventh Hand Intelligence" written in the lower left corner.
"You're talking about this!" Withered Bauhinia raised the map in her hand and said, "I bought it from a black-hearted businessman."
"What price can make you say it's black-hearted? And is this Seventh-hand Intelligence an organization?" Lu Hao was surprised by what the withered Bauhinia said. If this man who spends money lavishly says it's expensive, then what price could it be!
"I don't know if it's an organization or not, but this map cost me more than 200 gold coins." Speaking of this, the withered Bauhinia gritted her teeth and said, "It's all that bastard liar. Next time I meet him, I will tear him into pieces."
"A map costs at most 20 gold coins, and it has always been in short supply. Who is so powerful as to dare to bully you?"
"A guy called Running Naked in Underwear." The withered Bauhinia gnashed its silver teeth and said with its phoenix pupils wide open.
Damn, Xiao Fei has offended a difficult boss...
