Chapter 140 The truth about everything
Chapter 140 The truth of everything
Yin Yue Sui Feng: Thank you very much for the solution.
Wentian Wuji: Haha, you’re welcome. I’m just sitting around doing nothing anyway.
After closing QQ, Xiao Jie re-entered the game.
"Brother Feng, how is it? Any results?"
"It's done. I can now basically restore the whole story."
As Xiao Jie spoke, he told the story that he had reconstructed.
"Yu Niang should be the princess of the mermaid clan, or at least an important figure, as can be seen from her abilities.
Li Bao must have inherited her power to control the water flow.
For some reason, Yu Niang fell in love with Li He, transformed herself into a human and came to the land, living with Li He. She used her magic power to help Li He live a good life.
The reason why she looks like a human is probably because of the gem, which should have the function of changing human appearance.
Mermaids should be unable to speak on land, so Yu Niang is a mute, and the mermaids we fought yesterday couldn't speak either.
Later, Yu Niang gave birth to a child, but it was a strange baby - because the baby was not affected by the pearl, the midwife was shocked and ran out to call for help. As a result, the villagers thought that Yu Niang was a monster and wanted to kill both of them. Li He was killed in the process of trying to stop them.
Then came Granny Li, Li He’s mother and also a martial arts master.
In a rage, Granny Li killed all the villagers and rescued Li Bao, then raised Li Bao alone. She lied to Li Bao that he was an ordinary human being, and put Yu Niang's pearl on him to prevent him from revealing his original form. In this way, when he was over fifteen years old, he would completely become a human being and could inherit the Li family's incense.
For some reason, the mermaids wanted to bring their prince back, so they came here to look for Li Bao.
In two days, it will be Li Bao's fifteenth birthday. Both Granny Li and the mermaid will do their best to help. When the tides turn, it will be up to us to decide the final outcome of the story."
"The River God's intention is very clear. He hopes that we can find out the truth and tell Li Bao everything on his birthday. This is the meaning of [honesty]!"
Having said that, Xiao Jie paused.
There was one thing he was not completely sure of: did the river god want them to help the mermaids?
That's not right. The river god can do it himself.
No, although Li Bao is half mermaid, he also has half human blood. Perhaps the river god wants them to tell the truth and let Li Bao choose his own path.
That’s right, this is the real “honesty”, Li Bao’s “honesty” about his own identity.
After listening to Xiao Jie's speculation, I suddenly realized, "If we tell her, will Granny Li be angry and come after us?"
"It's possible, but it's Li Bao's own decision whether to become a human or a mermaid. It shouldn't lead to a boss battle, right? ...Besides, if we don't tell them, the mermaids will fight us to the death. They definitely want to take back their prince."
I Want to Become an Immortal concluded: "So no matter what choice we make, we will probably have to fight hard in the end."
"Yes, this possibility cannot be ruled out, so we must strengthen our own strength as much as possible - I want to find Ramen Brother to join us, what do you think?"
I want to become an immortal and agree with this. "Okay, that ramen guy seems to be a good person - he's just not very good at playing games."
It is true that he is a bit unskilled, as he is only level 16 after playing for a year. But it doesn’t matter how unskilled he is. Reliability is the most important thing. Among the people I know, he is the only one who is my choice.
As for the reward, although he cannot get the reward for the adventure mission, the experience and copper coin rewards for killing the mermaid should be enough to satisfy him.
It’s a pity that Ye Luo is not here, otherwise it would be much safer.
"Also, I will replace the horse with a combat pet before the final mission begins. This will increase the combat effectiveness. Three players + a powerful pet should be no problem."
Although Granny Li is as high as level 24, her health is very low. She is obviously just an ordinary NPC template, not a real BOSS. Xiao Jie is not very worried if a fight really breaks out.
Besides, there is also the River God. Xiao Jie has a hunch that the River God should appear at that time.
In addition, there are Li Bao and those mermaids. Even if Granny Li wants to turn against them, she will start with the mermaids.
"Let's go, let's go kill the mermaids first.
This mission will be over in two days, so we must kill as many as we can while we can.
However, a new monster appeared yesterday afternoon, and new mermaid monsters should continue to appear today, so be careful when you fight them later."
"I understand, Brother Feng. Don't worry, I'm also an old hand, and I have a new weapon today. Just wait and see how I chop those trash together."
The battle axe I used to chop the murlocs yesterday was obviously not as effective as the giant axe, so last night I spent a lot of money to buy a green weapon [Xuanhua Giant Axe].
The damage of this thing is higher than his original giant axe, and it is a long-handled axe with a larger attack range, which is just right for AOE.
When the two arrived at the lake, Granny Li had already woken up.
"Oh, thank you for the wine yesterday. I haven't slept so well in a long time. I'll rely on you two today." "Don't worry, mother-in-law, we will definitely see to it." Xiao Jie said with a double meaning.
At nine o'clock, with the reminder from Granny Li, the mermaids finally began to refresh.
As usual, the first person to appear is the mermaid seeking pearls.
The two men killed them very easily. Although they knew that their goal was to bring back the prince, they did not show any mercy in the killing.
You have to treat wild monsters as wild monsters, because they are just minions spawned by the system anyway.
After killing the first wave and recovering quickly, the second wave began to come ashore, and this time a new type of monster appeared.
Level 14 Mermaid Piercer!
These javelin-throwing mermaids had extremely high damage. They gave Xiao Jie a warning as soon as they appeared, and a volley of javelins almost killed him instantly.
Fortunately, Xiao Jie was mentally prepared. When he saw that the opponent was a ranged monster, he rolled over and dodged immediately, avoiding any danger.
Moreover, this type of mermaid piercer is relatively weak in close combat, so I, Yu Chengxian, rushed forward to deal damage at close range. I swung the Xuanhua giant axe a few times and chopped down a lot of them.
Xiao Jie also took the opportunity to cut in and harvest them one by one.
In the afternoon, a new mermaid monster appeared. A level 15 mermaid soldier.
This monster is much stronger than ordinary mermaids. It wears armor made of shrimp shells and tortoise shells and holds a thick coral stick. Compared with those mermaid pearl seekers, it feels like the difference between soldiers and civilians.
The two also felt threatened for the first time.
Fortunately, although this merman soldier has strong attack power and much higher defense, he is still just as slow.
This was the fatal weakness. The two of them simply distanced themselves and flew kites, using bows and arrows to take out the mermaid soldiers, and then harvested the remaining trash at close range.
By around three or four in the afternoon, both men had run out of arrows and had no choice but to engage in close combat.
Fortunately, after the previous battle, Xiao Jie had found out the weaknesses of these mermaid soldiers.
That means you are short-handed.
You can't use the Gale Sword Technique to fight this thing. This thing has high toughness, and the sword technique can't perform a combo. Instead, it is easy to be counterattacked and lose blood.
Fighting skill - thrust! Puff! The blade pierced into the chest of the merman soldier -47!
Roll back, combat skill - stab!
The biggest advantage of the stab skill is that the attack range is relatively long. As long as you grasp the distance well, you can repeat the combat skills mindlessly.
In addition, the mermaid soldiers move slowly, so you can use combat skills at a distance.
It's just that the physical exertion is a bit great.
I don't need to think so much if I want to become an immortal. I can just swing the Xuanhua giant axe and chop without thinking. Two axes can make one person stiff. As long as I am not surrounded and beaten, I will have no pressure in a one-on-one situation.
The blood bottle consumption is a bit high.
By half past four, the last wave of mermaids were killed, and the two successfully reached level 12.
A white light flashed, and Xiao Jie breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the extra 5 attribute points.
Phew, finally done.
Looking at the corpses all over the ground, Xiao Jie felt tired. He looked at the medicine in the bag. He had almost finished all the strength pills and had taken several blood bottles. No matter how careful he was, he still lost blood occasionally. The pressure was a bit too much if he continued like this.
We must get Ramen Brother into the team tomorrow.
Granny Li came over with a smile on her face. "Thank you very much, two brave men. The mermaid was killed so cruelly. I believe she will not attack again today."
You said it is...
Xiao Jie finally figured out that this Granny Li was just the system's mouthpiece.
After receiving the bounty for killing mermaids, the two men killed 228 mermaids in one day, and each of them received 11400 coins in reward alone.
Even after deducting the expenses for medicine, arrows, repairs, food, etc., each person can still make a net profit of seven or eight taels.
Although the money earned is not small, it is still a long way from enough to buy a horse.
Unless you buy the worst packhorses, you may not be able to gather enough in two days. But it's not a big problem. If you really can't do it, you can borrow some from others.
Besides, I still have the house deed.
After saying goodbye to Granny Li, the two returned to Luoyang Town again.
