Chapter 130 Another Adventure
Chapter 130 Another Adventure
Surrounding Luoyang Town is a circle of cleared open land with low weeds growing on it, providing a wide view, probably for the safety of the town.
A moat bypasses the town and flows in a southeast direction, and no one knows where it goes.
The two did not go too deep into the forest, and did not even get off their horses. They just rode their horses along the edge of the forest on the open grassland.
It’s better not to go too deep if you can.
Not long after we walked, we saw a big wild boar.
"It's a wild boar! Get ready—shoot!"
The two men opened fire immediately.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, Xiao Jie shot four arrows in a row, all hitting the target. The wild boar howled and rushed over. Xiao Jie turned his horse away while turning back to shoot.
Whoosh—whoosh—whoosh!
Every arrow shot will hit the target.
Hahaha, it’s not in vain to play Mount & Blade, this method of mounted archery is extremely practical to deal with wild monsters.
I also shot two arrows in a row, but they all went nowhere. He didn't shoot steadily, so the crosshairs were out of focus. He had never practiced horseback archery before, so he had no way to aim.
"No, Brother Feng, killing monsters like this is too slow. I'd better go down and fight on foot." As he said that, he jumped off the horse and rushed towards the wild boar waving a big axe.
Xiao Jie had no choice but to turn his horse around and charge forward.
From a distance of seven or eight meters, the wild boar launched a direct charge.
Crash! With a bang, I was knocked back by the impact, but I was not stiff.
"Die!"
I wanted to become an immortal and swung my axe, causing the wild boar to groan and fall to the ground. The giant weapon master's ability to reduce toughness was truly amazing, and even the wild boar could not withstand the powerful blow.
Xiao Jie suddenly accelerated and swung his knife from the side.
Swish! The blade left a streak of blood on the wild boar's side.
-
47! (Speed damage bonus 89%)
Cool!
This is just Mount and Blade. If it is a lance, I'm afraid it can deal over a hundred damage.
How about buying a spear to play with? Never mind. A master of none is a master of none. Only by practicing one martial art all the time can you improve your weapon level.
The wild boar had just gotten up when I hit it with my axe again, and it fell down again.
The two of them took only two or three moves to kill the big wild boar, skinning and digging out the meat. It was a one-stop service. It can be said that they made full use of the trophy.
Xiao Jie looked at me and thought, "I want to become an immortal," and thought, "Why don't I get off the horse and practice as well?"
The two of them began to wander along the edge of the forest.
Beasts are pretty easy to fight because most of them act alone and their IQ isn't very high, so there's no danger in a two-on-one situation.
There are just too few monsters. If you don't go deep, you won't encounter many monsters. It took me more than an hour to kill four wild boars, three wolves, and a leopard.
This is not acceptable. Xiao Jie looked at his experience points and found that he had only gained 2% after half a day. It would take a long time to reach level 13.
What’s even more annoying is that when we were fighting monsters, Luobo just hid far away and didn’t join in the fight at all.
Xiao Jie was speechless. This horse was good as a mount, but not so good as a pet. I would have to replace you sooner or later after I learned some skills and got a mount.
"Hey, Carrot, I want to discuss something with you. Can you teach me your gallop and kick?"
"Hehe, I won't teach you! I won't teach you! Do you think I don't know what you are thinking? If I teach you, you will drive me away."
"No, are we that kind of person?"
"Hey, what's up with that wild boar?"
"Um... you mean Coal Ball? It was homesick at first, so it begged me to let it go. I am the kindest person, and although I was reluctant, I had to let it go. Just look at how kind I am."
"Whew, I don't believe it!"
Damn, this horse is actually quite smart.
Xiao Jie looked at his loyalty level, it was 73, which was okay, he could start learning when it reached 80.
Suddenly there was a commotion in the woods ahead, followed by the sound of branches breaking.
"Brother Feng, there seems to be a big monster!"
Xiao Jie also noticed it.
"Hurry up and get on the horse!"
As soon as the two men mounted their horses, they saw a giant bear that was four or five meters long suddenly rushing out of the forest.
Raging Giant Bear: Level 15, HP 321/1000!
The bear's body was full of arrows and wounds, and it looked extremely miserable.
Soon after, a group of people followed behind.
"Kill!"
"Don't let it get away!"
"Release the arrows, release the arrows, release the arrows!"
There were more than ten players, all cheering and chasing after the giant bear. Several of them even brought dogs with them, which were barking and making a huge noise.
Xiao Jie was surprised. Damn, so many people?
This is what Ramen Brother talked about as a human wave tactic. It’s really terrifying.
The giant bear seemed to be an elite monster after all, but it was chased away and had no choice but to run away.
When the giant bear saw the two people, it not only did not attack but turned around and ran away.
But he was surrounded by players on three sides, so there was no way to escape. He was hit by spears and arrows, and fell to the ground with a roar.
Immediately, five or six players rushed up with skinning knives to dig out the meat and skin it.
The leader was a level 20 swordsman named Yun Xiaoke, who rode towards the two men on horseback.
"You two, the forests around Luoyang Town have been reserved by our Tianxia Association. Please give way."
I want to become an immortal and immediately said indignantly: "Why?"
"Haha, my eldest brother is the best in the world and a level 28 Qigong master. Are you not convinced? Be careful or I will kill both of you." The man was polite at the beginning but his true nature was exposed afterwards.
"Chengxian, stop talking, let's go." "Haha, isn't that right? We in the Tianxia Association are not bullying others, but this area around us has been reserved by us first. As the saying goes, first come, first served. It's the same if you two friends go to other places to practice. Of course, if you two are willing to join our Tianxia Association, I don't mind you sharing experiences together."
"Thank you for your kindness. No need."
Xiao Jie said this and rode away on his horse.
If I want to become an immortal, I can only follow.
Although this game has red name restrictions, and this place is relatively close to the town, there are so many people on the other side that we won't get any benefit if a fight really starts. We can't resist even if the other side shoots arrows at us all at once. A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, so it is better not to get into conflict for now.
Xiao Jie has seen many cases of big guilds booking the entire place and occupying monsters in the past. In the game, strength is everything, so you have to admit defeat when you need to.
Besides, the leveling process here is quite slow, and there is no point in competing with so many people for monsters.
It would be better to look somewhere else.
"What should we do?"
"It's okay, let's go a little further. You have a map, right? It shouldn't be difficult for us to find a suitable leveling spot by following the map."
The reason why these people hide around the town is because the woodland around Luoyang Town should be considered the safest area for leveling up, but there are only a few hundred players in the entire Luoyang Plain, and the game map is so large that there are large areas that can be explored.
You can always find a suitable place to level up.
But for most players, the cost of opening the map is too high, so they would rather go slower and stay near the town. After all, safety comes first.
But for the two people who had the map, it was not a difficult task.
"Take a photo of the map of the Sunset Plains and send it to me."
"Ok."
A moment later, Xiao Jie received the photo on his mobile phone.
Xiao Jie enlarged the photo on the computer and carefully observed the details of the map. The map was not complete. There were large unexplored areas on it, especially those areas where several large monsters were active.
That should be the area where the Black Wind Mountain bandits, the Hundred Wolf Cave wolf monsters and other monster forces live.
But many maps have been explored, especially those around Luoyang Town, where the distribution of wilderness, forests, and villages can be clearly seen.
The large villages have been occupied by bandits. The visibility in the forest is poor and it is easy to encounter elite beasts. The wilderness is the most suitable place for leveling, but there are often too few monsters in the wilderness and you may not see one for half a day.
Hey - this place looks good.
It was a wheat field located on the river bank. There were no trees or icons of monster forces on the map. It was most likely that there were only scattered monsters such as wild beasts.
It is not a village either, there is only a very small building icon, which should be an independent residence similar to the Tian family's old house.
There shouldn't be large groups of monsters in this kind of place, so it's perfect for two people.
"Come on, follow me!" Xiao Jie checked the map and headed east.
For safety reasons, the two walked along the road for a while, and then turned south when they felt they were almost there.
After walking through the wilderness and sparse woodlands for a few minutes, a river appeared in front of the two people. On the other side of the river was the wheat field. As expected, the trees were sparse, and most of the area was grassland, with a few abandoned houses scattered around. This was a very common sight on the Luoyang Plain. They could even see a wheat field.
This map is most suitable for leveling.
"Let's cross the river."
The river looked quite deep. Xiao Jie remembered the story of the mermaid and the water ghost. Although the water was clear and there didn't seem to be any monsters, it was still better to be careful. He planned to fly over the grass in one breath.
I want to become an immortal, but at this time I was in embarrassment, "Brother Feng, I don't know if I can swim?"
"Swimming? You can't just - damn, now I remember, you learned how to chase cicadas with eight steps and pull onions from dry land, right?"
Xiao Jie thought, damn, this is trouble, neither of the two moves this guy learned involve crossing terrain... But it's not a big problem.
I want to become an immortal and said, "How about we swim over there?"
"No, it's too dangerous. Let's go a little further and see if there is a bridge." Xiao Jie said as he looked at the map. There was a black line-like mark in front of the river on the map, and he didn't know if it was a bridge.
The two walked forward not far and actually found a bridge. It was a very simple, shaky single-log bridge supported by a few wooden piers. Two logs were connected together to form the bridge.
No wonder the flowers are so blurry on the map.
But at least I can get past others.
"I'll go first. Take off your armor and then cross the bridge. The physics engine of this game is so realistic. It would be terrible if you fell into the river and sank to the bottom. Carrot - go ahead!"
This coward doesn't dare to fight monsters, but he can at least cross the river to explore the way.
Although the radish was reluctant, it had no choice but to jump into the river and swim to the other side under the command of its owner.
Fortunately, we did not suffer any attack and reached the other side directly.
Xiao Jie took a few steps into the water and found that the player's character could swim. That was okay. If he fell into the river, at least he wouldn't drown.
However, to be cautious, he retreated back to the shore.
Flying on the grass! After activating Qinggong, he rushed directly to the other side.
He stepped on the water with a series of "pa pa pa" sounds and ran directly across the water. When he was close to the shore, he did a somersault and landed easily on the rocks on the shore.
Handsome!
I wanted to become an immortal but I walked up the bridge tremblingly and headed towards the other side of the river.
When we reached the middle of the river, there was a sudden splash, as if something had fallen into the river.
Xiao Jie was confused. What was going on? I wanted to become an immortal but I didn't fall in.
When I crossed the river, Xiao Jie asked hurriedly, "What happened just now?"
I, Yuchengxian, said in panic, "Brother Feng, it's bad, my axe fell into the river!"
What? Xiao Jie was stunned for a moment, thinking that I was joking about wanting to become an immortal, "Are you sure?"
"Yes, the system prompts that my axe accidentally slipped out of my bag and fell into the river..."
"Did it slip out of your backpack?" Xiao Jie confirmed.
"That's right, it just slipped out of the backpack." I said with a tone full of grievance.
Xiao Jie's eyes lit up: "Damn, did you encounter an adventure?"
