Chapter 218 The Ancient Road
Chapter 218 The Ancient Road
After finalizing the plan to recruit Yin Yue Sui Feng, Qian Long Wu Yong took out the Soul Refining Secret Book again.
"President, how do we arrange this Soul Refining Secret Book?"
Long Xing Tianxia looked at the people around him. Everyone present could be said to be the core group of the core group. Most of them were already above level 30, but there were also a few newcomers in their teens who had recently started playing the game.
"Does anyone of you want to train a ghost general?"
Level 10: Become a military general - Level 20: a part-time ghost curser - Level 30: you can double-transform into a netherworld ghost general. Although ghost generals are not as good as god generals, they are also a very powerful profession, and in some aspects they are even stronger than god generals.
However, no one said a word.
The vice president said, "President, I think we should train a Ghost Curse Master. Although Ghost Generals and Ghost Curse Masters have their own strengths, we have too many generals now. What we lack most is magic. After all, Ghost Generals are only half-magic. Moreover, a level 10 Ghost Curse Master can join the group after he advances to level 20 Ghost Curse Master. This is much better than a Ghost General who can only be formed at level 30."
Long Xingtian nodded and said, "That makes sense. Then we should select one of the new recruits to train. Gaming skills are secondary. The most important thing is to obey discipline.
If no one objects, it will be settled. Hidden Dragon, do not use it. Go to the logistics department to get the Light Escape Talisman and give the Soul Refining Book to Lao Xu.
Old Xu, remember to copy the contents of the book for the analysis team. Okay - the meeting is adjourned."
--------
While Qianlong Wuyong was busy with his escape talisman, Xiao Jie was not idle either.
I just rescued people and got the Xuanming Sword in the morning, and started working again in the afternoon.
This time his goal was to learn how to locate the beast by sound, and to verify his own guess that he could learn skills from the beast through special techniques.
"Brother Feng, are you sure it's okay to do this? Why do I feel a little ashamed?" Dongfang Sheng said uneasily.
Xiao Jie was speechless. "Fuck, you should just do it when I tell you to. Why are you talking so much nonsense? You can't even do such a small thing? Forget it, I'll let the Ghostly Fox do it."
The strange-faced fox at the side stepped forward hurriedly and said, "That's right, if you can't even do such a small thing, how can you do it? Otherwise, let me do it, Brother Feng, I will definitely do it for you."
"No, no, no, it's not like I can't say it." Dongfang Sheng said, took a deep breath, and rushed out of the tunnel where he was hiding.
"Die, you monsters! Kill, kill, kill!" Dongfang Sheng shouted and rushed towards the bats hanging on the ceiling of the cave.
He rushed forward and shot arrows, with his personal guards following closely behind him.
After a few arrows, the bat didn't kill any of them, but it successfully disturbed the group of monsters.
It flapped its wings and pounced towards him.
Dongfang Sheng was not afraid. After all, he was a level 12 general, and it was easy for him to deal with a few small monsters of the same level. Waving the Ghost General Iron Halberd, he killed most of the bats in just a few moves.
Seeing that only one with low health was left, Dongfang Sheng was about to kill them all with a grim smile, but at this moment -
"Stop it!" Xiao Jie jumped out suddenly.
"Humph, who are you to ruin my business?"
"Don't you see that these bats are not aggressive at all? Why do we have to fight and kill them all?"
"Hahahaha, what's it to you if I'm happy? If you don't want to die, get out of here!" Dongfang Sheng said this, feeling so ashamed in his heart. What the hell is this acting?
The plot is so ridiculous, it feels like a third-rate villain in an online novel.
"Hmph, I'll take care of it today." Xiao Jie said as he swung his knife and started chopping.
Ding ding ding, Dongfang Sheng retreated repeatedly after a few slashes.
"Damn it! Just wait for me! I'll call someone!" After saying that, Dongfang Sheng turned around and ran into the tunnel and escaped.
Xiao Jie walked up to the bat, but because of his talent [Beast Affinity], he did not attack it.
"Are you okay? Brother Bat." Xiao Jie asked with concern.
The bat lay on the ground and sent a burst of sound waves to Xiao Jie. The words it wanted to say immediately appeared above his head. "Human, why did you save me?"
"What I hate most is bullying the weak and harming animals. You look badly injured. Why don't you eat something first?" Xiao Jie said as he fed the bat. After feeding it some secret dog food, the name above the bat's head successfully turned into a friendly green.
"Oh, you are seriously injured. Do you want me to treat you?"
Xiao Jie took out a rejuvenation talisman as he spoke. This thing costs 1000 coins and can restore 100 health points. The effect is the same as the Golden Wound Medicine (Medium Quantity), but the price is ten times more expensive than the Golden Wound Medicine (Medium Quantity). But there is no other way, because monsters can't drink blood bottles.
Xiao Jie suppressed his pain and cast the spell on the bat. Seeing the bat's health restored, Xiao Jie apologized, "I'm sorry, those humans are too mean. They almost killed all of your kind. All I can do is save you. Go quickly. Those people will be back soon. By then, I'm afraid all the bats will be doomed."
“Stop—them!”
"But I am alone and weak, and I am no match for them at all. However, in order to save the bat tribe, I will risk my life to fight. Maybe I can put out their torches so that they can't see, and then win in the chaos - no, if I do that, I won't be able to see either. Damn it, how can I win?"
"Human, you are so kind. I can teach you how to locate a target by listening to its sound."
"Really? Can I really learn it?"
"It should be possible - I will teach you - you learn."
"Then ask me! If I can learn it, I can definitely stop those who return home." Xiao Jie said seriously.
"Human - look carefully - use your ears - listen to the darkness!"
The bat suddenly shot out an invisible sound wave into the distance, and then -
[System prompt: The cave bat teaches you the skill [Location by Sound].
[System prompt: Your beast knowledge skill has added new related content. ]
Haha, got it!
Xiao Jie hurriedly checked his skills.
【Listen to the sound to determine the position (magic)
Use: Make a Listen check to scan and detect enemies in the darkness around you, marking them on your minimap.
Side Effect: Blackness. You need to close your eyes to use this skill, so your screen will be black for one second when you release this skill.
Skill Description: Bats can use their unique hearing ability to detect things in the dark. Although humans cannot do this completely, they can still use similar skills to identify the enemy's position through sound. 】
Xiao Jie checked the beast knowledge again.
He now has nine species of animals marked in his beast knowledge.
They are: sheep, domestic pigs, dogs, wild boars, horses, bears, monkeys, wolves, and bats.
He was almost halfway to the 20 species. At present, he had not come into contact with any fairy beasts, demon beasts, or magic beasts. He was not sure which chapter he would choose at that time, and there was still time to consider.
"Just wait, I'll go chase those people away!" Xiao Jie used an action towards the bat - clasping his fists, and then rushed towards the direction of the tunnel.
When Xiao Jie walked back to the mining area, he immediately saw a group of people waiting for him eagerly.
They all come here to kill monsters and level up, and to watch the fun. "How is it, Brother Feng?"
"Brother Feng, did you succeed?"
"Brother Feng, I just acted well, didn't I?"
"Success!" Xiao Jie said calmly.
"Haha, I knew it!"
"Fuck, is this even possible?"
"Why else would you say animals are stupid? How can such poor acting work?"
"Damn it, my acting skills are obviously on point, definitely at the best actor level." Dongfang Sheng said unconvinced. Shame aside, he had to fight for the honor he deserved.
"It's really a good performance, thank you Dongfang."
"Haha, that's the case. It's my honor to help Brother Feng."
Today's rescue operation not only made the Luoyang branch more united, but also made Xiao Jie's status in the branch rise sharply. He was second only to Qianlong Wuyu, and his prestige increased greatly.
Everyone knows that Brother Feng can handle things and save people.
Everyone's attitude towards Xiao Jie also changed from respect and courtesy to popular support.
"Brother Feng, can you really talk to animals? That's amazing."
"It's just luck that I encountered an adventure. When you play the game, pay more attention to details and some inconspicuous clues. Maybe you can encounter it. Games are not just about fighting and killing. Many tasks in daily life may trigger special adventures."
Everyone was thoughtful after hearing this. If Xiao Jie had said this before, everyone might have just thought it was nonsense, but now that he said this, and having witnessed the magic of the animal and corpse language techniques with their own eyes, they all began to think about it.
"Okay, let's stop talking and continue leveling. Let's try to reach level 18 before dark."
Everyone realized that Brother Feng wasn't even level 20 yet...
Those in the team who were over level 20 all sighed, saying that the gap was quite big.
Continue to slaughter the refreshed zombies. There is strength in numbers. As soon as each zombie appears, a row of weapons will be used to hack it down. There is no way for it to pose any effective resistance.
This easy battle lasted until four in the afternoon.
A white light flashed on Xiao Jie's body, and he successfully reached level 18!
Phew, it’s finally here.
Xiao Jie added all five newly acquired attribute points to his physique. This adventure might very well lead to danger, so the more blood volume the better.
I looked at the properties.
Constitution: 32 (equipment +2). With the addition of Ruby Blood Marrow, the HP is as high as 370 points.
Stamina: 22 (+2 with equipment).
Strength: 22 (equipment +2).
Agility: 49 (equipment +5).
It's time to start the inheritance of the ancient Qi Refiners!
When everyone exited the mine and returned to Luoyang Town, Xiao Jie saw Qianlong Wuyong who had just finished a meeting.
"This is the Light Escape Talisman you requested, specially approved by the Guild Master. However, you can't find it in the epic sword club. The Dragon Knights are mainly composed of military commanders. They do have a few epic long-handled weapons, but swords are really hard to find.
But I can help you contact the guild's logistics department and get in touch with merchants from other guilds. There should be results within three to five days."
Xiao Jie thought to himself that I can't wait for three or five days. I can't just wait without leveling up for three or five days. Besides, Liu Qiang might discover his existence at any time, so every day is precious.
"No need for that." Xiao Jie said, "If you don't have a knife, then don't have a knife. This sword is actually pretty good."
Although the damage of slashing is low and not conducive to chopping people, the high piercing damage is not useless and can be used in certain special combat skills, such as the combat skill - stabbing.
Besides, the damage is not high relative to weapons of the same level. 29 cuts is actually not low, it is 3 points higher than the Blood Drinker Sword with six layers.
Not to mention the two special effects of this weapon, one can kill ghosts, and the other can explode in desperate situations.
Xiao Jie had a feeling that it might be useful in this operation.
The Hanyue Sword and the Xuanming Sword are very powerful when used together as a dual-sword.
"This escape talisman is enough. Thank you, Brother Qianlong. If I can come back safely, I will treat you to a drink."
Looking at the golden talisman in the bag, Xiao Jie suddenly felt relieved. Now he would not die.
【Escape Light Talisman (Talisman)
Use: Teleports you to the destination marked by the spell.
Current mark point: Yuelai Inn, Xiaofeng City.
Item Description: This magical spell is made with powerful magic power. It is said to be a relic of ancient immortals. It can travel thousands of miles in an instant and walk on light. Since its production method has long been lost, it is extremely precious and rare. 】
"Then I'll wait for you to come back. By the way, brother Suifeng, what mission are you going to do this time? Do you need help from your brothers?" Qianlong Wuyong couldn't help asking. He was not being polite at all. After all, he was the general of the Luoyang branch, a talent that the guild had spent a lot of money to recruit. If he died, it would be a huge loss.
"Haha, I do want to, but it's a pity that I'm the only one who has to do this task."
Xiao Jie was not being polite when he said this either. The conversation he had with the two immortals emerged in his mind.
Tianxuan Zhenren: "The inheritance of this ancient Qi-refining master has long been cut off. After all, the spiritual energy is thin now, and there are no conditions for cultivation at all."
Kaiyang Xingjun: "Fortunately, this cultivation method has been preserved. Back then, a group of us ancient Qigong practitioners cultivated together in the Tianpu Cave of Konglao Mountain and worked together to create this ancient Qigong technique. In order to prevent the inheritance of the technique from being lost, we carved this cultivation method on the cave wall.
When you get there, just look at the words on the cave wall and you will understand the mystery."
Tianxuan Zhenren: "But remember, only you can go."
Xiao Jie asked curiously, "Why is that?"
Taoist Tianxuan: "When we all became immortals and left, we left behind an immortal barrier to prevent being disturbed by outsiders. Ordinary people cannot enter.
You and I have a connection to each other, so if you go there, it won't be hard to find it if you look carefully. But if you bring mortals who don't have a connection to the immortals with you, you won't be able to find it even if you search hard."
Xiao Jie was shocked when he heard it. The immortal's words were somewhat magical. Why couldn't he find the person after he brought him there? Could there be an identity verification system?
But we must always listen to the immortal's words.
Kaiyang Xingjun: "Oh, by the way, when we gathered to cultivate immortality, in order to prevent being disturbed by the ancient wild beasts, mortals seeking immortality, witches and demons, we set up three tests outside the cave entrance. You must pay attention to it at that time."
(Damn, I knew it wouldn’t be that simple.)
Xiao Jie recalled the scene at that time and sighed inwardly. He could only handle this matter by himself. He hoped that the three tests would not be too outrageous.
Seeing him say this, Qianlong Wuyong stopped asking and said, "Then I wish you success in your endeavor."
"Hahahaha, thanks to your good words, I will definitely succeed!"
