Chapter 199 Screaming Throat
The plundering continues.

By 12 o'clock, the entire village was almost cleared out, and the players even took away the tables, chairs and benches.

Finally, the system prompt sounded.

[System prompt: The mayor of Luoyang Town has used the order to recruit refugees. Refugees are starting to spawn around Black Rock Village. Please go and escort them if you are returning home nearby. You can collect a reward from the Black Rock Village peace officer based on the number of people you escort.]

[System prompt: The rule of the Black Wind Mountain forces in Black Rock Village has ended. The area has been changed from a dangerous area to a neutral area. Black Wind Mountain camp monsters will no longer spawn around Black Rock Village. The resident monsters have been changed to "refugees" (neutral units), "lone robbers", "escaped bandits", and "ferocious wild dogs".]

Follow the system prompts.

Sure enough, a refugee official appeared outside the village, accompanied by four guards.

As soon as they entered the village, they began to post notices on the bulletin board, announcing the mission to escort the refugees. They also exchanged a few words with Qianlong Wuyong, thanking him for leading the returnees to recapture the Black Rock Village that was occupied by monsters. Now the village has been incorporated into the jurisdiction of Luoyang Town...

There is no reputation gained from the provincial government for escorting the refugees, only reputation gained from Luoyang Town. But at least there is a bounty, which is considered some benefit.

So the players who had just finished looting went out to find refugees and escorted them to the village. The peace officers then converted these refugees into villagers, and soon there were many NPCs in the village.

There were lumberjacks, woodcutters, builders, farmers, carpenters, blacksmiths... a large group of NPCs were busy with their own work, and some of the higher-level ones even directly became militia guards in the village.

Seeing a small village that was once dilapidated gradually regain its vitality, Xiao Jie was quite moved. He felt a sense of accomplishment after this trip.

It’s a pity that this village does not belong to them, which is a bit of a pity.

"Come to think of it, why didn't anyone retake the village before? The benefits are so great."

Qianlong Wuyong sighed and said, "Of course there are. Each of these villages has been recaptured several times."

"what?"

“Don’t be surprised. Even though we have recaptured the village and it seems to have become a safe area, disasters will continue to occur here in the future. Either bandits invade, plague rages, or demons descend. The village will eventually become a monster’s nest again, and the villagers will be massacred. Maybe these NPCs will become monsters in the future.

Only a novice village with a systematic protection mechanism can avoid such a disaster. Otherwise, only a town like Luoyang Town with strong defense capabilities can remain safe.

Of course, there is another way, which is to slay the dragon and establish a country. As long as you successfully establish a country, you can occupy the territory and develop the territory. "

Xiao Jie thought to himself, so that's how it is. However, Qianlong Wuyong is really concerned about this and keeps promoting their plan.

But now he is also a member of the Dragon Knights, so he naturally cannot sing a different tune.

"Yes, yes, yes. In the future, we will build a country, put an end to the chaos, slay demons and monsters, and restore order to this world."

Qianlong Wuyong was somewhat speechless about his high-sounding behavior, "Suifeng Keqing, we are all adults, there is no need to be so hypocritical, let's just talk business."

"What! You actually look at me like this? Oh, you really make me sad, you know, Brother Qianlong, I joined the Dragon Soaring Knights because of the ambitions of President Long Xing Tianxia. As the saying goes, people with the same aspirations share the same ideals. You are treating me as an outsider by saying this."

Qianlong Wuyong was speechless for a moment, and said helplessly: "Suifeng Keqing, you are happy. Since Brother Suifeng is so righteous, it would be better for you to attend the meeting at 3 pm to summarize the combat experience."

"sure."

After Qianlong Wuyong left, Xiao Jie did not stay in this small village any longer.

Although Qianlong Wubu said that disasters in this village would happen in the future, after hearing what he said, I still felt that it was not as safe as Luoyang Town.

When riding towards the town, I found that the Black Wind Mountain bandits around the village had disappeared, and they were replaced by scattered "Lone Bandits" of level 12 and "Escaped Bandits" of level 13 that were refreshed.

Not only are these two monsters lower in level than the Black Wind Mountain bandits, but they also appear alone, making them very suitable for players to kill and level up.

There are also classic wild dogs, which are a little higher in level than those in the novice village, reaching levels 7-9. Because they appear in groups of two, three, three or five at a time, they are the most threatening monster nearby.

It is conceivable that this area will become a new treasure land for leveling in the future.

There are maps for spawning monsters everywhere in this game, but maps that allow ordinary players to level up without danger are truly precious.

Xiao Jie returned to Luoyang Town and first checked Big Bear's loyalty. As expected, after such a long period of adventure together and eating so much secret dog food, his loyalty had already reached 100%.

"Big Bear, please teach me your Stunning Roar."

"Master, why are you learning this? You humans have too small voices to learn it."

"Just teach me when I ask you to. Stop wasting time. Hurry up. Do you still want to eat meatballs?"

"Ah, wow, teach, teach, I'll teach you right away - watch carefully - roar!"

There was a deafening bear roar. Fortunately, I turned down the volume in advance, otherwise it would have been a bit scary.

[System prompt: Your pet Big Bear has taught you a combat skill - Shocking Roar.] Not bad, not bad, now this Tiger Roar skill can come in handy. Actually, he also had a roaring skill before - Dog Bark, but it was really useless.

When I wanted to become an immortal, I also learned a roar. This shows that there should be quite a few skills like this kind of battle cry.

Xiao Jie checked the new skills he had learned.

[Shocking Roar (War Cry)

Use: Emits a deafening roar that stuns nearby enemies, possibly paralyzing them for 1-3 seconds.

Side Effect: Screaming Throat. When using this skill, there is a 30% chance that your vocal cords will be damaged, causing you to fall into silence for 5-15 seconds.

Combat Skill Introduction: Imitate the roar of a vicious grizzly bear, use the powerful roar to intimidate your enemy, making him unable to move out of fear, but the fragile vocal cords of humans may be injured, so please use with caution. 】

Not bad, the control effect of 1-3 seconds is much worse than that of the terrifying face, and it is still "possible", but fortunately it is a group control skill, which will be very useful in group fights.

As for the silencing effect - I'm not a mage, so I don't need to chant spells, so it won't have much of an impact.

When you practice the Tiger Roar Technique to the maximum level, the power of the shocking roar will be doubled, and you can control a group of enemies with one roar, which is quite effective.

Thinking of this, Xiao Jie has decided to learn the Tiger Roaring Kung Fu as his second internal skill.

Xiao Jie went straight to the auction house, preparing to get some props to improve his physical fitness.

It's just 3 points of physical fitness left, and it can be solved with some pills.

After some searching, I found that there are quite a few pills that can improve physical fitness.

Ten-fold tonic pill (elixir): Improves all your basic attributes by 3 points each, lasting 60 minutes. -- 10 taels of silver per pill.

Millennium Ginseng (Medicinal Herb/Legend): Increases your Constitution and Endurance by 10 points each, lasting for 24 hours - 50 taels of silver per piece.

Ginseng Pills (pill): Increases your physical fitness by 5 points, lasts for 60 minutes - 5 taels of silver per pill...

It’s you.

Xiao Jie decisively took one shot.

Five taels of silver... just to get a certain attribute, it's a bit of a luxury. In fact, you can wait until you reach the next level and increase your physical fitness before practicing.

However, Xiao Jie knew very well that learning martial arts should be done sooner rather than later. You never know what dangers you might encounter during the leveling process, just like when you fought the bandit leader today and suddenly found that your internal energy was not enough... Anyway, just spend some money. Now you are also a guest of a big guild, and you can afford this little money.

He spent another three taels of silver to buy three Juyuan Pills. Before the meeting started, Xiao Jie decided to go to the martial arts gym and find a quiet room to practice his internal skills for a while.

He went straight to the martial arts hall and asked Qigong instructor Duan Yu, who is also known as 'Hunyuan Yiqi', to open a quiet room for practicing.

After entering the quiet room and swallowing the ginseng pill in one gulp, Xiao Jie double-clicked the secret book in his backpack.

A diagram of the circulation of internal force immediately appeared before my eyes.

The meridian circulation route of the Tiger Roaring Skill is concentrated on the meridians in the chest and abdomen, which can be seen at a glance that it is related to the roaring skill.

Xiao Jie had the experience of learning Feiyan Kung Fu, and he was very skilled in running his internal energy. After one circle, he performed it without any error.

[System prompt: You have learned a new skill [Tiger Roaring Skill (Intermediate Internal Skill)], and your current internal skill level is 1st level.]

Seeing that the upper limit of internal force value increased to 350, Xiao Jie nodded with satisfaction. If he practiced the Tiger Roaring Skill to the full, the upper limit of internal force value would be 800 points, which would be enough for use in the early stage.

From now on, I can finally use my ultimate skills with confidence.

However, the effect of the Tiger Roaring Skill is not obvious at present, so I should use the Flying Goose Skill.

After taking a Yuan Ju Dan, Xiao Jie sat cross-legged in the quiet room and started practicing. It took him more than two hours to successfully practice the Tiger Roaring Skill to the second level. This time, the upper limit of his internal force value reached 400 points, which was already quite impressive.

However, it still takes some time to fully master it, so there is no need to rush.

Seeing that the meeting was about to start, Xiao Jie prepared to leave first.

When he reached the door, he greeted the Qigong instructor out of habit and was about to leave.

'Hunyuan Yiqi' Duan Yu (Qigong instructor): "Little brother, I think the robe you are wearing looks quite familiar, but I don't know where it comes from?"
