Chapter 44 Hunting
Chapter 44 Hunting
Xiao Jie stood at the gate of the village, looking at the desolate woods outside the village, the hills and forests in the distance, and the small path that led to nowhere. He felt both excited and nervous.
It’s finally time to go out of the village again to kill monsters and level up.
Unlike the last time when he came to rescue me, this time he is ready for a long battle, and I am going to give him a good beating.
Xiao Jie spent a lot of money on this expedition.
Looking at the balance of copper coins in his backpack, Xiao Jie couldn't help but feel a pang of pain in his heart. He had spent all his money on this adventure.
The backpack was filled with supplies.
Steamed buns×20=100 Wen.
Rough Feather Arrows x 20 = 100 Wen. The 20 arrows given by the hunter are OK for hunting, but obviously not enough for killing monsters and leveling up.
Torch × 2 = 100. This thing can be used for lighting after dark or in caves and tombs. It is an essential consumable for exploring dungeons. One torch can burn for an hour.
Gold wound medicine (small amount) × 80 = 400. A low-level medicine used to add blood, essential for fighting monsters.
Dali Pills x 4 = 200. Medicine used to quickly restore physical strength. Since physical strength can be automatically restored by resting (just not that fast), it is not as important as the Golden Wound Medicine, but it is best to bring a few just in case.
In addition, he also bought two pieces of equipment for himself, a leather armor for 300 wen and an iron-embedded shield for 150 wen.
[Iron-embedded shield (medium shield)
Defense +30 (when blocking successfully)
Durability 200/200.
Item Description: A shield inlaid with iron sheets, which has stronger defense and higher durability than ordinary wooden shields. 】
[Leather Armor (Chest Armor)
Personal defense +10.
Item Description: Protective gear made of leather. Although its defensive power is limited, it can still protect the wearer to a certain extent. It is the most commonly used basic protective gear by irregular soldiers such as militia, bandits, and vagrants. 】
The properties of leather armor are a bit worse, but at least you don’t have to run around naked.
Xiao Jie spent all the more than 1,400 coins that he had painstakingly saved in one go.
I Want to Become an Immortal walked to the side of Xiao Jie. He was more prepared and fully equipped with an iron-studded leather armor suit, a snake-spine longbow, a fine steel sword, a shield, and a battle axe. He was armed to the teeth.
"Brother Feng, I'm ready."
"Yeah." Xiao Jie responded, but was not in a hurry to leave.
"Since we are going to team up together to level up, there are some things I must explain in advance. I don't need to say much about the dangers of this game. You know it very well. Even if we want to fight monsters and level up, we must put safety as the top priority.
You have too little experience in the game, so you must listen to my instructions! As long as you follow my instructions, I will definitely take you to fly, but I have to say something ugly in advance. If you mess around outside and don't listen to my instructions, causing danger, I can't guarantee that I won't sell you out, understand?"
Xiao Jie spoke very seriously. When he was the guild president in the past, he often gave serious warnings to the studio members and yelled at them when they were playing in a team.
But in the final analysis, it's just a game, no matter how serious it is, it's just a formality.
But this time, the seriousness in his tone was unprecedented, because this time, he really wanted to take his men out to fight to the death.
I Want to Become an Immortal also felt Xiao Jie's seriousness and said solemnly: "Don't worry, Brother Feng, I know what's right and wrong, and I will never make things difficult for you."
"Well, that's good. Let's first wander around the village, and then slowly move deeper into the dangerous areas of the map. Before entering the next area, we must observe from a position with a good view to ensure that there are no powerful monsters or large numbers of monsters appearing.
If you encounter danger and I shout "run", don't hesitate, run to the village immediately.
Okay, no more nonsense, let’s go!”
The two finally stepped out of the village gate.
It was just past noon, the sun was at its brightest, and the sunlight shining through the woods added a peaceful atmosphere to the originally gloomy painting style.
Due to regular cleanups by the militia, there is no monster activity around the village.
If you want to fight monsters, you have to go deep. Different monsters have different refresh areas.
Because he wanted to hunt, Xiao Jie chose a sparse woodland in the northeast direction.
Because they are sparse, the field of vision is relatively good and it is not easy to be attacked by monsters.
When the two men entered the woods, they held their weapons in their hands and were on high alert.
Not long after they walked, a deer appeared in their sight, leisurely nibbling on the grass.
Xiao Jie used the beast identification to take a look. [Wild deer (beast), level 3, HP 40.
Taming difficulty: difficult.
Skills: Antler Charge LV2, Wilderness Gallop LV1. 】
It's very difficult to kill this thing in close combat, because it will run away as soon as you get close to it, and it has the skill Wilderness Gallop, so you can't catch up with it on foot.
But now that we have a bow and arrow, we can finally take it down.
The two men approached slowly. Because their archery level was too low and their hit rate was limited, they prepared to get closer before shooting. However, before they got closer, the deer suddenly raised its head, its nose twitched twice quickly, and then it turned and ran away.
"Fuck, what's going on?" I said speechlessly, wanting to become an immortal.
Xiao Jie looked at the direction of the leaves and weeds around him and said in a deep voice, "It's the wind direction!"
He found it hard to believe that the game even took wind direction into account, but that seemed to be the case.
“We are upwind, and the prey will smell us, so we can flank them from the right and approach from the leeward side.
The two men made a big circle and soon saw the deer again, but this time, they were at a downwind position.
The two of them pressed the stealth key at the same time, squatted down at the same time, and approached slowly to avoid making any noise, until they moved to a distance of more than 20 or 30 meters.
Let’s draw the bow together!
"Release!" Xiao Jie said in a weak voice.
Whizzing!
Two arrows flew out one after another.
The deer was shot successively, one arrow in the waist and one in the neck.
-
21!
-
23!
Because the hunting bow has enhanced damage and has the bonus of bow weapon skills, the damage is still considerable.
The deer let out a wail and fell down.
Kill a deer - +3 experience!
Xiao Jie thought that this experience was a little too little, but it was still some gain.
The two men ran over and retrieved the arrows from the deer's carcass. Each arrow cost five cents, so it was better to reuse them as much as possible.
Xiao Jie picked up the corpse and obtained 1 venison and 1 antler, but unfortunately the wild beast monster could not drop money.
"continue."
The two men carefully searched the woods for prey, and soon hunted down 4 deer, 3 sheep, and 4 rabbits.
The two took turns picking up the items, and soon both had some loot in their bags.
I killed a lot of prey, but didn't gain much experience points.
A deer only has 5 experience points, a sheep has 3 experience points, and a rabbit has only 1 experience point, and then it has to be shared by two people, which is pitifully little.
The good thing is that this thing has no attack power. It will run away when it sees people and is completely harmless.
I want to become an immortal complained, "This amount of experience is too little. It will take forever to level up like this. Brother Feng, let's go a little further away."
Xiao Jie did not object this time. Although safety comes first and a slower leveling process is acceptable, this is too slow.
After all, deer, sheep, rabbits, etc. should not even be considered monsters, but only prey, and it is not realistic to use them for leveling up.
It's more like hunting than fighting monsters.
"Okay, let's move on, but you must follow my previous instructions and make sure it's safe before taking any action. Reconnaissance first and then action."
The two first found a slightly higher mound, climbed up and observed the surroundings.
On the hillside of a small hill to the west, several black dots can be vaguely seen. They are the Lost Soul Bandits. Xiao Jie observed the distribution of these bandits and found that they were very far apart.
Okay, let’s start with them.
Xiao Jie still has some psychological trauma towards this kind of monster. Han Luo died at the hands of this thing.
But the two of them had nothing at the time, and they could kill someone with just a stick. Now that they have complete equipment and skills, they are not afraid of him!
