Chapter 129 The terrifying monster

Chapter 129 The terrifying monster
Xiao Jie ran a few steps and suddenly had an idea in his mind. Why not deal with the tree?
Looking back at the crime scene, I couldn't help but smile. I must have lost my mind to have such an unrealistic idea.

It is not easy to destroy the body of such a big tree. The half of the tree that was chopped off must weigh hundreds of pounds, and with branches and leaves hanging on it, it is impossible to hide it. It is impossible to dig a hole and bury it by yourself.

Not to mention there was such a big tree stump, there was no way to hide it.

The longer you stay, the more dangerous it will be. You might as well run away before anyone notices you. If you delay any longer, you'll probably be caught in the act.

Rushing out of the woods and seeing that there was no one around, Xiao Jie left in a hurry.

I turned back to the square of Tiger Hill Park and blended into the crowd, then I breathed a sigh of relief with a guilty conscience.

Phew, luckily I wasn’t caught in the act.

Then he was speechless towards An Ran. This woman didn't think about the consequences at all. She just acted on her impulse. However, that knife strike was indeed amazing. In the game, the damage should be at least 200 to 300.

Xiao Jie looked at the sky, but unfortunately there were no birds nearby. Otherwise, he could find one to help keep watch next time. He probably could bribe it with a few handfuls of rice.

But birds are like this and it's all about luck. Whether you can meet one or not depends entirely on luck.

Oh, I have the skill of taming animals, why not just tame one and keep it as a pet? In reality, you can't tame beasts like tigers, leopards, bears, and wolves. Jiangbei City doesn't even allow people to keep fierce dogs. At most, you can only keep a golden retriever, a husky, or an Alaskan.

That thing doesn't have much fighting power, it's better to raise a bird to serve as eyes.

I have to make the secret dog food later and see if I can tame a bird of prey or something.

After returning home, Xiao Jie directly ordered 20 kilograms of venison online. Mutton and pork can be bought at the vegetable market, and wild chrysanthemum can also be bought online. Only the tranquilizing flower is a bit troublesome.

So where can I get the Tranquility Flower? Does it exist in reality?
He searched it and found out that there is such a thing in the real world - rosemary. He placed an order for it without hesitation.

Oh, and I need to buy a new knife.

This time he had to buy a better one. The Xiuchun Sword he bought before was just a handicraft. It was fine for casual practice, but it was still a little bit lacking for real combat. This time Xiao Jie placed an order for a high-carbon steel Miao Sword, which cost him 3000 yuan, making his already poor fortune even worse.

It doesn’t matter, it’s only 300 coins. I can make it back by selling two pieces of dog food.

In the future, when you reach a higher level and can earn gold coins by killing monsters at will, you will have as much money as you want.

Early the next morning, Xiao Jie couldn't wait to enter the game.

I went to the auction house first and took a look around. At the end of the night, I sold 8 more secret dog foods and got 1600 coins. I was so happy.

As a result, I bought some Shunqi Powder at the auction house, and spent all of it at once. This thing is not sold in pharmacies, so players can only make it themselves. Fortunately, the competition among alchemists is fierce, so the price is not too expensive, 150 coins each, which can restore 10 points of internal force within 50 seconds.

After meeting up with Yu Chengxian in the lobby of the inn, Xiao Jie said, "Let's go level up."

However, before setting off, Xiao Jie still needs to investigate the distribution of monsters around Sunset Town.

The Sunset Plains is more than ten times larger than the Ginkgo Valley, and the distribution of monsters is bound to be more complex. It is easy to encounter danger if you rashly leave the town to level up.

You must find someone familiar to ask first.

I wandered around the street for a while, and probably because it was early in the morning, there weren't many players in the town.

Even on the street where everyone set up stalls yesterday, there were few people.

But he did see an acquaintance.

Ramen Brother (Warrior): Level 16.

Hey, isn't this the guy who was selling news yesterday? So diligent, coming out to practice so early?

Xiao Jie walked over and clicked on the stall, took a look at the things on sale, and couldn't help but laugh.

They are the same ones from yesterday, not a single one is missing.

"Brother, why are you still setting up a stall here? Why don't you go out and level up?"

The ramen brother also said helplessly, "I can't help it. The things are not sold. Now I don't even have the money to repair equipment and learn skills."

Xiao Jie thought that those junk would be difficult to sell.

"Hey, do you still want to know some news? Just ask me anything. I'm short of money."

Haha, okay, Xiao Jie traded another 300 coins.

"Ha, brother, you are so open-minded. I have made some money from you these past two days. Don't let me be unable to afford food. Brother, just ask me. I will tell you everything I know."

Xiao Jie thought it was no big deal, so he just sold some dog food. "You're already level 16, why are you still having such a hard time?"

"Don't mention it. This game is too difficult. I'm afraid of death, so I don't dare to explore too far away. For a lone wolf player like me, it's hard to kill monsters. I can only kill a few lone monsters around the town. Don't worry about you laughing at me. I've been playing this game for a year and I've only reached level 16."

Damn, so miserable? Xiao Jie was a little bit unbelievable, "Your progress is too slow, isn't it?"

"I can't help it. It's for safety. Those who went out of the Novice Village with me all died. I was brave enough to join a team to explore, and I narrowly escaped death several times. How can I dare to take risks again? But I can't bear to give up the journey, so I just have to endure it slowly."

Xiao Jie thought that was a good idea. He could get more information from him. After all, he had been playing for a year, so he should know a lot of information. He was really afraid that the other party was a complete newcomer.

"Are there any places on this map that are suitable for leveling? And what are the monster forces?"

Ramen Brother chuckled, "You've really asked the right person. In the past year, I have explored the map of the Sunset Plains by almost half. Although I haven't explored it in depth, I have come into contact with several large monster forces.

There is a Howling Moon Woods to the northeast of Luoyang Town. Deep in the woods is a Hundred Wolf Cave, inhabited by a group of wolf spirits and wolf monsters. It is very dangerous. Once a guild gathered more than 30 people there to kill monsters and level up. They were fine for the first half month, and even killed a few wolf spirit captains and got several good equipment.

As a result, they encountered the Wolf King on patrol and more than a dozen people died. After that, no one dared to go there again.

There are several mines in Laotie Mountain in the north, which are filled with a large number of mining zombies and descendants of rat demons. It is said that there are also bosses such as mining mountain demons and corpse kings, which are very dangerous. It is said that there is also an ancient tomb of the corpse king deep in the mine. It is said that the miners were turned into zombies because they dug up the corpse king.

The terrain of this mine is complicated and it is extremely dark. Even experts will suffer if they go in. It is usually a good thing if five or six out of ten people can come out.

At that time, there was a saying among players: "I would rather die than go down to the mines, and I would rather die of hunger than explore a tomb." This was exactly what was going on.

There is a Black Wind Village on the Black Wind Mountains in the northwest, where the Black Wind bandit forces are entrenched. There are three leader-level BOSSes sitting in charge, with countless bandits and robbers under their command. There are more than a dozen elite monsters with names. Did you encounter robbers on the way here? That was sent by the Black Wind Mountain. The Luoyang Plain is now full of Black Wind bandit strongholds. Even several villages near Luoyang Town have been occupied by Black Wind Mountain bandits.

The fighting ability of this group of bandits is average, but they are very good at coordinated combat. Don't provoke them if you have fewer people.

Usually, only a group of dozens of people dare to touch it.

In addition, there are water ghosts and mermaids in the river. These monsters are not very strong in combat, but they like to drag people into the water to kill them, so you must be especially careful when you go to the river or lake.

The big forest in the south is relatively safer, and there are no large-scale monster forces. However, you can often encounter elite beast monsters in the forest. They are very powerful and usually run fast. It is easy to fail if you encounter them alone..."

Xiao Jie's scalp tingled after listening to this. Why do these monsters sound more powerful than the last?
I thought I was strong enough now and could level up more easily, but I found that I seemed to have thought too much.

"Is there no one weaker?"

The ramen brother immediately laughed bitterly, "Hahahaha, there are no weak monsters in this game, you also made it out of the novice village, you're already level 10, and you're still dreaming?
The monsters in the Novice Village are weak monsters.

If it really doesn't work, you can go back to the Novice Village. Although you will get less experience, it is safer to level up. I couldn't stand staying here at the beginning, so I went back to the Novice Village and leveled to level 13 before coming back again.

Of course, not all of them are difficult to fight. For example, the wild beast monsters in the forest near Luoyang Town are relatively easy to deal with, and you basically won’t encounter elites.

Although the beasts are powerful in combat, their IQ is not high and they usually act alone. As long as they don't encounter elite monsters, they are relatively easy to bully.

However, the competition for these easy-to-kill monsters is also quite fierce. After all, everyone is afraid of death and likes to hide around the town to level up. "

Xiao Jie had a rough idea in his mind.
"Thanks, brother. Let's go, Chengxian. Let's get out of town!"

The two of them walked for a distance, and I couldn't help but ask, "Brother Feng, what should we do?"

"What are you afraid of? Were those monsters in Ginkgo Village very difficult to fight at first? After you get familiar with them, they will be just like that, right?
To put it bluntly, monsters all have weaknesses, and there will be no problem as long as you find the right way to open them.

Of course, we still have to listen to advice in the early stage. After all, we have just left the novice village and do not have an intuitive understanding of the strength of the monsters outside. Let's practice around Luoyang Town first, get a feel for it, and improve our martial arts level. Even if we don't upgrade, if we can raise our martial arts level, it is also an improvement.

Besides, we are a duo after all, and we have good equipment, so we are much better than that ramen guy."

After they were ready, they left the town.

Xiao Jie reminded him as he walked away.

"First, keep your vision open, as long as we are not surrounded, we will be fine.

Although this game is realistic and the monsters are intelligent, it still follows some game-specific rules, such as the monster's alert range, which allows you to prepare calmly as long as you discover it in advance.

Second, don't provoke groups of monsters, such as the Black Wind Bandits, wolf demon settlements, zombie hordes, etc. We only need to target lone monsters.

Third, the old rules, if you find that the situation is not right and I tell you to run, then run quickly. Have you learned Qinggong?"

"I've learned how to chase away cicadas in eight steps! How to pull up onions in dry land! I've learned it all."

"Yes, that's fine."
