Chapter 89 Goodbye 'Enlightenment'
Chapter 89 Goodbye 'Enlightenment'
Xiao Jie came online early the next morning.
After getting to know the 'big guys' in the group, he became more eager to improve his strength.
There are so many powerful powers, so many extraordinary adventures, and so many mysterious treasures in this game, all waiting for him to dig and explore.
Time waits for no one.
As soon as I entered the game, I saw Ye Luo sitting in the tavern eating breakfast. The way she sat and ate looked very ceremonial.
Xiao Jie also sat down at the table, checked his hunger level, and ordered two steamed buns.
"You got up quite early." Xiao Jie said for fun.
"I didn't sleep last night. I killed ghosts all night long."
"Then why are you still level 10?"
"Night ghosts are not wild bandits and dogs. Their numbers are limited, so training them is naturally not that efficient. In addition, this game has a threshold every 10 levels, so the experience points required for upgrading will increase a lot all of a sudden. But it will be soon, and I should be able to upgrade tonight."
"Why don't you level up with me and Chengxian? The efficiency will definitely be higher if there are three of us, and we can also take care of each other."
Ye Luo hesitated for a moment, but still shook his head, "No need, I kill ghosts not only to level up, but also to brush up on my profession materials."
This rejection was exactly what Xiao Jie had expected, but what surprised him was that Ye Luo actually hesitated for a moment.
It seems that after fighting side by side yesterday, Ye Luo is no longer so resistant to forming a team.
He was not in a hurry and started eating the steamed buns. While he was talking, I Want to Become an Immortal came online.
When he saw Xiao Jie, he immediately came over excitedly.
"Brother Feng, shall we complete the task of investigating the ancient tomb today? It has been several days."
At the beginning, Yang Baichuan commissioned the two of them to investigate the mysterious ancient tomb, but they had not completed it because their levels were not high enough.
Now that I'm at level seven, I can give it a try.
"Okay, let's look at the situation later. If the time is right, we'll go check it out. By the way, I joined a group yesterday." Xiao Jie repeated the matter of the local player group.
"Wow, there is such a good thing. We should have such a group here too."
"Where are you from?"
"I'm from Yunchuan Province."
Xiao Jie said, "I don't know, but there should be one."
"I advise you not to be too idealistic." Ye Luo suddenly interrupted.
Xiao Jie asked in surprise: "Why do you say that?"
"Not every player group is so harmonious and helpful to each other. Sometimes it can bring you danger."
“But players are not allowed to PK offline.” I said, “I want to become an immortal.”
Ye Luo sneered, "There's no need to do it yourself. If you really want to harm someone, there are a hundred ways to do it."
Xiao Jie said: "I am very touched by what you said."
Ye Luo's expression changed slightly, "No more talking, I'm sleepy, I'm going to sleep."
After saying that, he went offline directly.
Watching Ye Luo disappear in the tavern, Xiao Jie and I looked at each other in surprise.
Well, it seems I said the wrong thing.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill and were fully energized, they took their supplies and set off.
It’s still the same place to spawn the soulless zombies, just circle around the carriage.
Xiao Jie wielded two swords, and I, Yu Chengxian, wielded a giant axe, killing monsters skillfully.
Xiao Jie used dual swords to kill monsters as much as possible. Today was the last day of the enlightenment BUFF. He hoped to gain another enlightenment skill before the BUFF ended. It would be great to have dual weapon specialization or a spinning sword dance.
The dual-blade attack mode has much higher damage than a single-blade attack, but it is also more prone to mistakes.
Fortunately, after continuous attempts, Xiao Jie has mastered the rhythm. The key is to leave enough prediction time for the monster's counterattack after the attack, otherwise it will be easy to reveal flaws after the attack.
Also, you cannot be greedy with your attacks, because the attack time of the dual swords is relatively long, and if you are a little greedy, you will easily be counterattacked and lose blood.
The solution Xiao Jie thought of was to roll more often, and chop twice after each roll. After mastering the rhythm, there was a kind of mechanical beauty.
Roll—swish! Roll—swish! Roll—swish!
Xiao Jie rolled around the zombie while swinging his double swords. The zombie waved his arms in vain, but each time his swords fell into nothing.
Six perfect rolls followed by double-knife attacks just circled the zombie, and the last two knives knocked the zombie directly to the ground.
[System prompt: Your 'enlightenment' state has been triggered, and you have gained an 'epiphany'! ]
A golden light suddenly flashed above Xiao Jie's character's head, and a golden icon appeared in the center of the screen. Two golden words were written on it - Enlightenment!
Oh my god, it’s finally here! Xiao Jie was pleasantly surprised. Today was already the seventh day of the enlightenment BUFF. If he didn’t come now, he would have no chance.
He checked it quickly.
[Words of enlightenment: In the process of continuous rolling and slashing, you gradually mastered the unique moves that combined rolling with attacking, and thus comprehended the combat skill [Rolling Knife Slash].
Huh? Xiao Jie was stunned. It was not the dual weapon specialization he expected.
Rolling Blade? This name is really unique.
【Rolling Knife (Additional Combat Skill)
Applicable weapons: one-handed sword.
Combat skill consumption: 20 physical strength (triggered after rolling).
Skill effect: Immediately launch an attack on nearby enemies after rolling, causing 100% weapon damage (this action will not affect the next rolling speed).
Skill Description: This is a strange move created by the nameless swordsman by combining rolling and slashing. It is very awkward to use. Although the move is weird and clumsy, it may be able to play a role in some special occasions. 】
Good, finally there is something new.
Although this fighting skill looks a bit weird, it's always good to have many skills.
At noon, when Xiao Jie's experience value increased to level 7 35%, the enlightenment BUFF finally disappeared from Xiao Jie.
It’s finally gone. Xiao Jie felt a little emotional as he watched the icon above his head disappear.
I don’t know when I will be enlightened again.
The two ate some food and prepared to rest before continuing the battle, but unexpectedly—Ding-ling! Ding-ling!
The sound of the bell rang again.
"Quick, retreat!" Xiao Jie reacted extremely quickly.
The two men immediately determined the wind direction and quickly hid behind two large trees, crouching and concealing themselves.
Not long after, a group of soulless zombies were seen being driven towards this side, and behind the team was another corpse driver.
Lin Yu (Corpse Driver): Elite, Level 9. HP: 440.
Seeing the corpse on the ground, the corpse driver snorted with some displeasure, while several corpse dogs drooled at the corpse.
The corpse driver waved his hand, and several corpse-eating dogs immediately pounced on him, biting and swallowing him.
However, Xiao Jie noticed that the name of this corpse driver was different from the one he met before. The previous one was called Wu Gang, but this one was called Lin Yu, and she seemed to be a female. It seemed that there was more than one corpse driver.
Watching the group of corpses gradually disappear, Xiao Jie breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at the direction they disappeared, it was the direction of the ancient tomb.
"Brother Feng, do you want to continue practicing?"
"No, we have to change places. This guy is going to the northeast, let's go to the northwest."
"The northeast direction seems to be the direction of the ancient tomb." I said, "I want to become an immortal."
"Yes, there might be something behind this. Could it be that the mysterious man in black that Yang Baichuan saw back then was the corpse driver? That's not right, because the corpse driver's clothes were clearly gray."
"Could it be that the color has faded because of too much time?" My idea of becoming an immortal is quite bizarre.
Xiao Jie shook his head and said, "Absolutely not. The mission texts in the game usually hide some key clues, so they are usually very accurate. The man in black is the man in black. They usually won't convey wrong or ambiguous information to the players. The man in black must be someone else."
"Maybe the boss of these corpse chasers?"
Xiao Jie nodded, "That's possible. If even the younger brothers are at level nine, then this boss must be at level twelve or thirteen.
And it took several hours, with a bunch of zombies and stone dogs. Oh my god, this must be a big BOSS.
The appearance of such a monster in the Novice Village feels a bit like a main quest boss. Our levels are still not high enough, so let's go level up first."
Although I wanted to become an immortal and was eager to complete the mission, I always believed in Xiao Jie's judgment, so I could only nod in agreement.
The two of them headed northwest, but unfortunately, the soulless zombies were almost all gone, probably attracted away by the bell.
There were hardly any wild beasts to be seen, and after walking for several minutes I didn't see a single monster.
"Brother Feng, there's no stock here, or - Hey, what is that?"
Xiao Jie also noticed that a small blue monster appeared in the woods ahead. It had blue skin, was less than one meter tall, had a big head and a skinny short body. It looked like a big-headed doll and looked extremely wretched.
He was carrying a wooden stick and a cloth bag on his back with the word "goods" written on it.
"Little demon who picks up lost items!" the two shouted in unison.
This shout scared the little demon directly. When the little demon saw the two people, he immediately turned around and ran away.
"Chase!"
