Chapter 254: Seeing the Mad Taoist Again
Chapter 254: Seeing the Mad Taoist Again
The next morning, Xiao Jie, Woyuchengxian, Ye Luo, and Qianlong Wuyong appeared in front of the city gate of Luoyang Town.
Behind them were more than 40 people from the Luoyang branch, led by the new leader, Xiaobailong.
Little White Dragon looked at Qianlong Wuyong reluctantly and said, "Captain, are you really leaving like this? Let me do the job of captain... I'm a little unsure."
Qianlong Wuyong smiled and said, "Don't call me leader anymore. I will just be an ordinary member of the guild. As for leading the team...if you really don't have confidence, I will tell the president and send a leader over."
"No, no, no, let me do it. After all, I have worked hard and have rich experience." Xiaobailong is also a little ambitious, but he is not that confident. If Qianlong Wuyong is the leader, he would be convinced. What's the point of parachuting in?
It would be better to do it yourself and see if you can do it well.
Qianlong Wuyong added, "After I leave, you have to lead your brothers to level up well. The president told me last time that our guild will start slaying dragons soon. We are now collecting information about dragons in various places. Once we find a suitable target, we will take action. It will be an unprecedented large-scale operation. The entire guild will be mobilized, and the troops of the six towns will be dispatched together. Don't bring shame to our Luoyang branch."
"Don't worry, I won't do anything else from now on. I'll just lead my brothers in leveling up."
While the two of them were bidding farewell to each other, Xiao Jie was surrounded by several people over there.
"Brother Suifeng, when will you come back? I was thinking of asking you to help me brush up my skills."
Xiao Jie was a little puzzled, "What skill do you want me to brush?"
"The skills for the job change mission. I want to change to a sword master at level 30, but the problem is that the job change requirements for a sword master are too high. I have already reached the Taoist master level, but the requirement is to practice sword skills to the master level... Since I changed to a Taoist priest, I basically don't use the sword to kill people, and my sword skills are still at the mastery level.
If I were to use sword skills to level up, I would be unsure and would need the guidance of an expert. I think you are the only one I can trust in our branch."
"You can chop down the dummies to level up?"
"It's useless. Once you master swordsmanship, you won't get swordsmanship experience by chopping down dummies."
Xiao Jie thought to himself, "I'm not a swordsman. You can ask the guild for this matter. Isn't it easy for them to send you a few expert bodyguards?"
"Alas, one who eats the food of others should be grateful, and one who receives the gifts of others should be grateful."
Xiao Jie was speechless, "You asked me for help and you're not going to take it easy?"
"It's easy to repay a favor I owe you, but I have to pay the favor I owe the guild with my life."
Xiao Jie comforted him: "Not really."
"Fuck, don't comfort me. If it's really not the case, why haven't you officially joined yet?"
This left Xiao Jie speechless. He was just afraid that if the guild really faced a life-and-death crisis, the president would give the order and everyone would fight... He could run away now, but if he officially joined, he would have to fight for his life.
It is not unreasonable for Bai Ze to think so.
"Okay, I'll help you level up after I come back. You can get a few sword manuals first, and then you can use them to fight monsters. It will be faster to level up."
This is also a bit of experience that Xiao Jie has summed up during this period of time. His swordsmanship has reached the master level, and he relies on repeatedly switching between several different swordsmanship books.
Moreover, the higher the level of swordsmanship, the more weapon experience you will gain when using it.
In fact, Bai Ze is not the only one who has this problem. Generally, when people are in their twenties and are about to reach level 30, they have to consider the career issues of level 30.
Because most players can only reach level 30 at most, it can be said that the level profession determines their future upper limit. It is also the last chance for players who have failed in their early careers to turn things around.
If the fusion is good, two rubbish basic professions might be able to fuse into a decent dual-transfer profession.
Now, several members of the group who are at higher levels and almost at level 30 are considering this issue.
Xiao Jie is not in a hurry at the moment.
A few newcomers also came up.
"Brother Feng, take care of yourself." The person who said this was Dongfang Sheng. Ever since I came back from Yu Cheng Xian, his plan as the number one lackey had failed. Now he could only slowly mix in the group, and now he had become a bit of a nobody. He felt resentful that Xiao Jie and his trio didn't take him with them in their activities.
"Brother Suifeng, this is for you. Thank you for saving me."
A transaction box suddenly popped up in front of Xiao Jie, and inside it was a peculiarly shaped torch.
【Beast-driving torch (consumable)
Use: Illuminate the surroundings and drive away nearby beasts. 】
Item Description: A torch made by adding special herbs to the ointment of the torch, which can emit a strong smell that will keep wild animals away. 】
Hey, this thing is pretty good. Xiao Jie took a look and found that it was given by the female player named Mu Qingliu.
This is actually an unexpected surprise. There are monsters everywhere in Canglin Province. This thing should be useful at the critical moment.
"Thank you very much."
A farewell.
Xiao Jie said to everyone, "Okay, everyone, go about your business. We will be back when we are done."
After saying these words, the group of four rushed out of the city.
The route to Canglin Province had already been planned yesterday.
There are two ways to go from Luoyang Town to Canglin Province. One is to pass Xiaofeng City and reach Fengyu Port on the seashore, take a boat to Longshi Port in Canglin Province, and then take the land route from Longshi Port to the capital of Canglin Province - Jumu City.
The other way is to take the land route, go south along the Black River, cross the Jiaomuling Mountain, enter the territory of Canglin Prefecture, go south along the official road, and arrive at Jumu City.
After much consideration, Xiao Jie decided to take the land route.
If you travel by sea by boat, there is a certain chance of encountering sea monsters. If you are attacked, there is a danger of the ship sinking. If you cry out to the heavens and the earth at sea and no one helps, you will be doomed.
Although you may encounter monsters on land, you can run freely, so it is easier to deal with them.
But before leaving, we have to pick up the newcomers.
The group traveled at lightning speed, and an hour later, they arrived at the entrance of a valley in the southeastern area of Fengyin Prefecture.
Qianlong Wuyong said: "This is it, let's go in."
As soon as he entered the valley, Xiao Jie could immediately feel that this place was very similar to the Ginkgo Valley. Both were relatively closed maps, and the monster levels were all below level 10.
Looking at the wild boars, wild wolves, wild dogs, and the very classic soulless zombies that appeared from time to time in front of him, Xiao Jie couldn't help feeling a little nostalgic.
When I was a newbie, I was also scared when facing these low-level monsters, but now——
The wind and the remaining clouds!
He used a secret skill to kill all the soulless zombies.
Leaving pieces of flesh all over the ground, the feeling of the blow was really great.
It’s a pity that the experience points didn’t increase at all, but Daju did get a lot of experience points.
Seeing this, Xiao Jie simply started practicing with the baby.
"Daju, come here!" Xiao Jie gave an order, and the four people moved forward slowly, but Daju acted as the pioneer in front.
He pounced and bit, enjoying the killing.
Although he is only level 10, Daju's combat power is already quite considerable. He was at a slight disadvantage in terms of level attributes when facing those high-level monsters outside, but now facing these novice village trash below level 10, it is simply a one-sided massacre.
He accidentally attracted too many monsters, and seven or eight wild dogs surrounded him, but Daju remained fearless.
Roar!
The tiger roars terrifyingly!
A group of terrors roared at the wild dogs and made them flee in all directions, then immediately began to chase them, pouncing on them with a fatal stab - locking their throats! They killed one of them instantly.
Witchcraft——Stone-splitting tiger claw power!
With a wave of his claws, five blade-like energy forces swept out, cutting the wild dogs into pieces and covering them in blood.
Wow, this move is so cool. It even has a group attack skill. It’s worthy of being a monster.
Watching a group of wild dogs being killed one after another in the blink of an eye, Xiao Jie was quite relieved. This baby monster was still very powerful.
"Look over there, there's an elite monster!" I suddenly shouted.
It’s true. A level 9 wild boar leader is charging towards Daju with great momentum.
Witchcraft - Crouching Tiger Stone Shape!
The big orange animal suddenly lay down and instantly turned into a tiger-shaped rock.
With a loud bang, the wild boar's fierce charge directly knocked him dizzy and fell into a coma.
Daju immediately released his petrified form and used a set of beast fighting skills smoothly, attacking and biting the beast and beating it. In a short while, he successfully resolved the battle.
A piece of thick pigskin armor and a green outfit with +2 points of constitution were dropped.
Not bad, Xiao Jie picked up the spoils and threw some meat to Daju.
When the group arrived near the novice village, they saw from afar several newcomers beating up a wild dog.
Each of them held a wooden stick, and the leader held a single sword and a shield. It was obvious that he was a poor newcomer.
"The bright night starry sky!"
"It's me!" one of the newcomers holding a wooden stick shouted hurriedly.
"I'm your brother's friend. We talked yesterday. Come here. I need to tell you something."
Haoye Xinghe, the younger brother of the flat-headed brother, was called aside.
Several newcomers stood aside cautiously.
"Brother, can you give me some money?"
"Brother, can you give me some equipment?"
"Fuck, big brother, your equipment is so cool! Can you take me as your little brother?"
Xiao Jie was speechless. These guys...
I want to become an immortal, but it is quite useful.
"Haha, that's OK. If you work hard, you can achieve something like this in the future."
But he is not stupid, he will not do anything like giving away money or equipment.
"If you want money, you can add me on WeChat. It's okay to sell you some gold coins."
"Really? You can buy coins in this game?"
"Of course, but the price is not cheap - you know the ins and outs of this game, right?"
There was actually someone who added me on WeChat and wanted to trade with me.
On the other side, Qianlong Wuyong has already started a transaction with Haoye Xinghe.
"These are all left by your brother. This Wolf Demon Bone is very important. I told you yesterday that it can be used to open a magic profession. These equipment were also bought with his money. And these gold coins were left by your brother in the guild warehouse..."
Qianlong Wuyong was not stingy and gave all the transactions to the other party.
Haoye Xinghe was shocked when he received a large amount of treasures at once.
It took him a while to recover, and he asked nervously and excitedly, "Can the abilities in this game really be brought into reality?"
"That's right, didn't you learn any skills?"
"Not yet. I don't have the money to learn any skills yet. I've only learned a few life skills, such as farming..."
"If you follow me, I will help you switch to a magic profession at level 10. Our guild is in great need of magic professions. If you are willing to join our guild, you can get special protection and training, as well as resource support. We can help you choose a profession, learn skills, and match equipment.
The information about this game is very valuable. Only large guilds can provide sufficient game data, and individual players can only explore on their own.
Of course, if you don’t want to be bound by rules, you can be a peripheral member, or if you want to practice alone, I respect your choice.”
"No, no, no, I don't dare to practice alone. This game is too difficult. I almost died when I killed a small monster yesterday."
Haoye Xinghe thought about it and said, "I want to be a peripheral member first and see how things go. Is that okay?"
"Of course." Qianlong Wuyong also breathed a sigh of relief. If the other party really didn't want to join, it would not be difficult for him to deal with it. He couldn't just use violence to threaten him.
"We are planning to go to Canglin Province, which is a good opportunity to help you change your job. Come along."
"Leaving now? How about I level up a few more times?" Hao Ye Xinghe was obviously worried. He had only played this game for two days and was only at level 4. He naturally felt unsafe as he had to go on a long journey suddenly.
"If you level up a few more times you won't be able to change your job..." Qianlong Wuyong explained the career system of this game, especially the aspect of adding attribute points.
Hao Ye Xinghe is also an old player, so he naturally understands this principle. When he heard that he could switch to a magic profession and learn spells at level 10, he was obviously tempted.
But looking at the strangers in front of him, he felt a little conflicted again.
"But...but."
"Do you have any questions?"
“Well… Well, this is what happened…” Haoye Xinghe stammered and couldn’t explain clearly.
Xiao Jie, who was standing by, saw everything clearly.
He stepped forward and said, "Little brother, your brother and I are friends, so I'm just being generous and calling you brother. To be frank, a newbie like you is not worth pursuing. If it were someone else, we would have to think twice before they could join our guild.
The things the captain gave you just now are worth at least several million. If he really wanted to get you, he could just steal the things. Why would he go through the trouble of sending them to you from so far away?
We are willing to take you to change jobs because of your brother. If it were someone else, we might not be willing to help even if it cost millions of dollars.
If you trust us, come with us. If you don't, just practice on your own. I know you are new to the game and you are clueless, but some principles are actually very simple. If you can't figure it out, forget it."
After Xiao Jie said this, Hao Ye Xing He was speechless. After thinking for a while, he finally said seriously: "Okay, I will go with you. Since you are my brother's friends, I trust you!"
This statement is still a bit hypocritical, but I can't ask for more.
Xiao Jie thought that this kid still had some cognitive ability.
"Then hurry up and get ready, we are very short on time."
Five minutes later, Haoye Xinghe said goodbye to a few friends, and the group of five set out on their journey again.
"By the way, you should learn how to ride before you set out."
Qianlong Wuyong directly traded the basic riding skill book and the reins of a traveling horse to the other party.
It's much more convenient with a horse.
A group of five people rode their horses out of the Novice Village. Four of them surrounded the Haoye Xinghe closely to avoid being killed by the ignorant monsters on the roadside.
Fortunately, Qianlong Wuyong had communicated with him before and asked him to add all his attributes to constitution. With 240 health points, he is not too fragile.
While walking, he introduced some precautions of this game to Haoye Xinghe.
"Don't die, this is the most important thing. If you encounter a monster, just hide behind us. If you don't understand, just ask. You must be especially clear when adding points. If you add the wrong points, you're doomed..."
While listening, Haoye Xinghe looked at the outside world nervously. Any monster on the roadside was more than ten levels high, which made his level 4 account a little scared. If no one protected him, he would probably die immediately.
Fortunately, I have a horse, so I can still run away.
An abandoned village appeared in front of us. Like most villages in this game, it was in ruins.
A few people were about to go around, but a figure near the broken wall at the entrance of the village caught everyone's attention.
"Hey, Brother Feng, look, isn't that the crazy Taoist?"
It’s true. He still looks that wretched and is wearing a tattered Taoist robe. I just don’t know which clone this crazy Taoist was born from.
Qianlong Wuyong said, "Don't worry about it. This thing is everywhere in Jiuzhou. It's nothing special."
Haoye Xinghe was quite curious, "Can this kill and get equipment?"
"Some people have killed it before, but nothing good dropped, and it also deducted reputation. It's not worth it."
Everyone wanted to go around him directly, but when the crazy Taoist saw them, he suddenly shouted excitedly.
"Little brother, take care. Do you still have that good wine? How about giving me another bottle?"
Hey, Xiao Jie was immediately shocked. This guy turned out to be the crazy Taoist he met in Xiaofeng City.
Xiao Jie originally thought that this guy had died in the prison of Xuanxu Palace a long time ago, but he didn't expect that he was still alive.
"Wait a minute, I'll go check it out."
