Chapter 38 Deal to Slay Demons
Chapter 38: Dealing with Demons (Two Chapters in One)
I Want to Become an Immortal: "What's the matter, Brother Suifeng?"
Yin Yue Sui Feng: "Do you want to switch to hunter?"
I Want to Become an Immortal: "How can I transfer? That hunter named Yang doesn't accept disciples. I asked Brother Wang about it, and he said that one needs a hundred-year-old ginseng to become his disciple. I saw it in the medicine shop, but that thing is not available."
Yin Yue Sui Feng: "I have a way to become a hunter, but I need to borrow your ebony sword. If you want to become a hunter, let's team up and do this task together."
I want to become an immortal: "I'll be there right away."
------
Ye Luo: "What do you want to talk to me about?"
Yin Yue Sui Feng: "I need to do a ghost exorcism mission, can you help me locate the ghost servant?"
Ye Luo: "That's fine, but how do you deal with it? I don't need to remind you that physical attacks are ineffective against ghosts."
Yin Yue Sui Feng: "I have my own way. Come to the hunter's cabin and we'll talk in detail."
------
The village was not big to begin with, and it didn't take long for both of them to arrive.
When I Yuchengxian saw Ye Luo, I was startled at first, but then I became happy and greeted him enthusiastically.
Ye Luo, however, acted quite cold and seemed not to want to make friends.
Xiao Jie was not surprised, as he was in the same situation with him yesterday.
He didn't care too much about it. Everyone has their own habits when playing games. There is a type of player who has social phobia. Even when playing online games, they play alone and don't like to team up with others. This kind of thing is common.
Xiao Jie introduced the two to each other and then told them the task he had taken on.
“This task should be difficult to complete, but I calculated that with the abilities and resources that the three of us have, we can just complete this task.
My sacred wood talisman can drive the ghost servants out of the hunter's wife.
Ye Luo can see ghosts.
My ebony sword can kill ghosts. Judging from the health of the ghost servant, its combat power should not be very strong. The three of us can definitely deal with it if we work together. As long as the ghost servant dies, Yang Baichuan should be able to accept disciples normally, and both of us can learn archery and dog training."
After hearing this, Wo Yu Cheng Xian suddenly became excited. He was almost killed by three wild dogs, so he knew the value of being able to bring a dog.
Ye Luo still said calmly: "What's in it for me? I'm already Yang Baichuan's apprentice."
"Be a good person? Yang Baichuan is your master, isn't it your duty to help his master's wife? Besides, if he's happy, he might teach you a hidden skill."
"I have handed in three wild ginsengs and have learned all the skills I can. Besides, this is just a game." Ye Luo was unusually calm.
Xiao Jie was really helpless. Generally speaking, aren't girls supposed to be more emotional? Is Ye Luo so cold?
I wanted to become an immortal, so I said, "How about I pay you 200 coins?" But this guy was not short of money. When he encountered a problem, the first thing he thought of was to solve it with money.
"I'm not short of money."
"500 wen?"
"1000 wen is useless. I told you, I don't need money."
Ye Luo was decisive and left no room for negotiation.
"Then what do you want?"
"I will help you kill the ghost servant, and this sword will be mine."
Before I could say anything about my wish to become an immortal, Xiao Jie quit.
"You must be joking. This thing is a magical weapon. You are asking for too much."
"That's right, I got this sword with great difficulty." I, Yu Chengxian, also said hurriedly.
Ye Luo said calmly: "It's useless for you to hold this sword. You can't see ghosts. Unless you plan to add a lot of attribute points to perception and go the perception route, otherwise this sword is completely wasted in your hands.
How about this, I'll give you another skill book to make up the difference. You use an axe, right?"
"I..." I wanted to become an immortal and said that I used a sword, but it seemed that I didn't learn any sword skills at all. I did learn the axe weapon specialty after chopping wood for two days.
"That's right."
"That's fine. This book 'Stone Splitting Slash' only requires 15 strength to learn. You can use it by adding a few points to the attribute. It will definitely be more valuable to you than the Ebony Sword."
"But I want to be a swordsman..." I said weakly.
"There is no swordplay in Ginkgo Village. You need to go to the sword hall in the provincial capital to learn sword skills. Then you can learn advanced swordplay. You haven't even left the novice village yet, so you can't learn swordplay. When you leave the novice village, there will be weapons better than the ebony sword."
Seeing that I was still hesitant about becoming an immortal, Ye Luo said, "How about this, whatever the ghost servant lost will belong to you."
I Want to Become an Immortal was finally moved. He sent a private message to Xiao Jie and asked, "Brother Suifeng, what do you think?"
Xiao Jie snorted without comment, but fell into deep thought.
Originally, he didn't take this ebony sword seriously. How good could the equipment given in the early stage of the game be?
But seeing Ye Luo wanting to get this sword so much, he had a vague feeling in his heart that the value of this ebony sword might be much greater than it seemed, and it was not just an ordinary small item.
Its attributes are very ordinary, and the only unique feature is the weapon effect of Soul-Slaying.
Wang Kai once said that magic professions are very rare in this game, which means that most players are physical professions, and physical professions find it difficult to deal with ghost monsters.
In this way, the soul-slaying effect of this sword becomes particularly valuable.
Especially for perception players, they can kill ghosts with this sword.
But Ye Luo was not wrong. Unless you intend to use the perception route, this thing is really useless.
"Are you planning to take the perception route?" Xiao Jie asked me about my desire to become an immortal.
"Hmm...let me think about it."
In my quest to become an immortal, I couldn't help but open the strategy book left by his brother.
In addition to information about the monsters in the Novice Village, it also focuses on the key points of adding points.
In this game, everyone needs to add some basic attributes, especially in the early stages. It is impossible to play without adding basic attributes.
If you want to switch to a magic profession in the later stage, you will need to consider advanced attributes.
However, the advanced attributes are very complicated, and not every one of them is useful.
In this game, there are many different magic schools, including Taoism, immortality, demon arts, magical powers, ghost spells...
Each one has different corresponding properties.
Spirit: Increases mana limit, increases mana recovery speed, and increases resistance to mental skills such as charm, fear, and hypnosis.
This attribute can be said to be a must for all magic professions. There is definitely no harm in adding it, and it is generally a secondary attribute of magic professions.
Spirituality: Increase your efficiency in absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the essence of the sun and the moon, as well as your ability to learn and use magic and sorcery.
This attribute is mainly aimed at fairy magic and demon magic. If you want to learn these two spells, you need to have a high spirituality. Perception: Increase your alert range, the sensing distance of monsters, and your ability to sense invisible things. Higher perception may attract the attention of ghosts and gods.
This attribute is more important for professions such as assassins and hunters, and it is also important to learn ghost spells.
Faith: Increases your ability to absorb the power of incense, and increases your ability to learn and use supernatural powers.
This attribute is a must-have when learning magical spells.
If I want to become an immortal, I naturally want to cultivate immortality, so that I can resurrect his brother. But for cultivating immortality, perception is of no use.
"I'm not going to go the perception route."
Xiao Jie nodded and said, that’s no problem.
“Since she wants this sword so much, this sword must have its unique features. Based on my experience, the most valuable aspect of this sword is its soul-slaying attribute.
The fact that magic professions are so scarce in this game means that weapons that can cause damage to ghosts are very valuable.
Of course, to slay ghosts you must first be able to see them. If you want to go the perception route, this sword is definitely a top-grade weapon and is priceless.
If you don't go the perception route, this sword isn't that meaningful, so you can consider getting something that's more suitable for you.
But this sword is yours, so it's better for you to decide for yourself. I suggest you consider it carefully and don't easily agree because of me."
Xiao Jie's analysis is very clear.
I wanted to become an immortal, so I said to Ye Luo, "Okay, but you have to increase the price, otherwise forget it."
"This thing is of no use to you."
I want to become an immortal and said confidently, "But it is very useful to you."
Ye Luo said frankly: "That's right - tell me, what do you want."
Xiao Jie originally thought that I would ask for some equipment or something, but I didn't expect that I would ask for some information instead.
Ye Luo was slightly stunned, "Hmm?"
I Yuchengxian explained, "I don't know much about this game, but I see that you seem to be very familiar with it. You must know a lot of information that I don't. I can give you the sword, but in exchange, if I have any questions about the game in the future, you must help me answer them if you know anything."
Ye Luo was silent for a moment, "No problem, deal."
After hearing this, I laughed out loud, "Okay, that's settled. But let me make it clear first, all the drops from the ghost servants belong to me. You can't steal my drops."
Ye Luo snorted softly, "Don't worry, I'm not that bored."
Xiao Jie nodded secretly in his heart. The choice of "I want to become an immortal" was quite smart. Compared with one or two pieces of equipment with limited value, intelligence was undoubtedly more useful. Especially in this kind of death game, there was no tolerance for error at all. It was very likely that one wrong step would lead to eternal damnation. With more intelligence, he could undoubtedly go further.
This kid has grown up.
The three of them each got what they needed. Xiao Jie needed to complete the upgrade task and get the upgrade reward.
I Want to Become an Immortal, job change + ghost servant drops + skill books and game information.
And Ye Luo got the ebony sword.
After the three of them had made their plan, they returned to the cabin again.
"Brother Yang, this is the helper I recruited. He also wants to become your disciple. Is that possible?"
"As long as he can save my wife, it doesn't matter if I have one more disciple."
A prompt immediately appeared on the screen saying I want to become an immortal.
System prompt: Player Yin Yue Sui Feng shares the task [Expel Evil Spirits] with you. Do you want to accept it?
Since I wanted to become an immortal, I naturally accepted it.
He turned around and traded the ebony sword to Ye Luo, and got the skill book "Stone Splitting Slash".
The three of them stood in their respective positions, and Xiao Jie took out the sacred wood talisman.
"Ready, I'm going to start, count down 3-2-1!"
The magic to ward off evil spirits!
Ebony blood oath!
At the moment when Xiao Jie used the evil-repelling spell on the hunter's wife, Ye Luo slowly rubbed the blade of the ebony sword across the palm of his hand. A layer of scarlet blood suddenly appeared on the sword, flashing an ominous red light in the dim room.
A cold wind blew and the hunter's wife began to twitch all over. The moment she stopped twitching, Ye Luo suddenly slashed at the air with a sword.
Aww! A strange cry sounded out of nowhere, and it was obvious that the sword had hit the target.
However, Ye Luo's expression suddenly changed, "Oh no, it's going to run away!"
He took a sudden step forward, and used his combat skill - Triple Wave!
Swish, swish, swish, three swords slashed in the air.
A ghostly howl sounded in the air, followed by a shock wave of cold wind that spread out in all directions.
Boom! Xiao Jie, I, Yuchengxian Hunter and the other two were shocked and took two steps back. It was still AOE damage. Fortunately, the damage was not high and only a few drops of blood were lost.
Ye Luo flashed and moved like an assassin!
Directly avoided the impact.
This was followed by a set of smooth and flowing sword moves.
Sword Dance: Thirteen Styles of Flowing Cloud!
Brush brush brush brush!
Ye Luo spun and swung the sword, his movements like dancing. The sword blade cut through the air, and strange ghostly sounds continued to be heard in the air.
The two were extremely excited, but were completely unable to help and could only stand by and watch.
It was not until a shrill scream was heard in the air and something fell to the ground with a clang that the two realized that the ghost must have been killed.
As a mercenary, Ye Luo was very conscious and stepped aside.
A prompt appeared on Xiao Jie's screen.
[System prompt: Participated in killing the ghost servant and gained 76 experience points.] Because I used the evil spirit spell to kill the monster, I actually got some experience points.
As for me, I didn't gain any experience at all in my attempt to become an immortal, and was just a spectator the whole time.
But he didn't pay attention to this at the moment, his eyes were all attracted by the things on the ground.
It was actually a piece of yellow talisman paper with a strange human-shaped symbol drawn on it with cinnabar, and there was also a sword mark on the talisman paper.
This is--
Xiao Jie picked up the talisman, took a look at it, and handed it to me.
[Broken Ghost Taming Talisman (Quest Item)
Use: Give it to Hunter Yang Baichuan to trigger a quest.
Item Description: According to legend, the ghost spellcaster can use spells to control ghosts to be driven by him, to serve him, and to do evil things. This is an evil magic involving the crossing of yin and yang, and has always been despised by righteous people. 】
