Chapter 308: A blessed land? A magical weapon is born?

Chapter 308: A blessed land? A magical weapon is born?
Xiao Jie couldn't help but be stunned, thinking, is this true? Why does it feel so ridiculous?

A paradise? Natural treasures? And a group of fairies?
Especially after he had just experienced a life-threatening escape, he seemed even more suspicious.

Besides, how could there be any blessed place in a ghost place like Guiwuling?
Yin Yue Sui Feng: Are you sure? Brother Xia, you are not kidding me, are you? Is there such a place on Ghost Mist Ridge?
Xia Yi Wu Shuang: Damn, you actually doubted me? Am I that kind of person, your Xia brother? Forget it, you can come or not, I just thought of giving you a share because you are so kind, so forget it if you don't appreciate it.

When Xiao Jie saw this, he fell into deep thought for a moment. Judging from his brief interaction with Xia Yi Wushuang, Xia Yi Wushuang was indeed not that kind of person. Even if he was really in danger and wanted to ask him for help, he would definitely speak directly and would never beat around the bush.

Is there really a secret realm of immortals?
Yin Yue Sui Feng: It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that this is too outrageous. You are also a veteran player, so you should be able to understand it, right? How about you take a photo of the surroundings and send it to me?

Xia Yi Wu Shuang: Damn, why are you so slow? I am such a righteous person, but there are still people who doubt me. It's unfair. Forget it, add me on WeChat, and I will show you clearly.

As he typed out an account, Xiao Jie took out his phone and added the other party. After a short while, the other party sent him a few videos.

When Xiao Jie clicked on it and took a look, he was stunned. It turned out to be a real dreamlike villa, with singing birds, blooming flowers, exotic flowers and plants, pavilions and towers that looked like a fairyland.

The chivalrous character is standing on a very beautiful balcony, surrounded by many beautiful NPCs in ancient costumes.

It was just that, perhaps because we were in Ghost Mist Ridge, the light was very dim, which somewhat ruined the atmosphere.

The more Xiao Jie looked at it, the more surprised he was, and he had to admit that this unparalleled chivalry was not a lie.

Yin Yue Sui Feng: Okay, it's my fault. I'll take people over there in a moment. Where are your teammates? Do you want to call them over?

Xia Yi Wu Shuang: There's no need. I just met them by chance. We don't have a very deep friendship. Besides, no matter how many treasures there are in this paradise, they are limited. If too many people come, there won't be enough to share. Forget about that. I still have to interact with these fairies. Maybe if I improve my favorability with them, they can even teach me a spell or something.

Xiao Jie looked at Xia Yi Wushuang's reply, but still felt strange.

The key is that when it comes to games, generally, they pay attention to the system when designing maps. A design like placing a secret paradise in a haunted place like Ghost Fog Ridge looks weird no matter how you look at it.

One person's shortcomings are often seen by two people. Xiao Jie simply told the others the information he had learned, and they were all very surprised.

I want to become an immortal, and I am the most excited: "Damn, what are we waiting for? Let's go there right away."

Ye Luo was a little skeptical: "There is such a place on Ghost Mist Ridge. The style of painting is not right."

Bai Ze analyzed, "That may not be the case. Many magical secret realms in this game are hidden in unexpected places. Ghost Mist Ridge became what it is now after being invaded by the underworld. It used to be a beautiful place with clear water and green mountains. Maybe Xia Yi Wushuang accidentally entered a paradise that existed in ancient times? Did these fairies seal the cave when the underworld invaded?"

Xiao Jie thought that it was not impossible.

As for what the truth is, we can only go there and study it. If it really is a paradise, we can enjoy some benefits.

The four of them waited patiently for more than an hour, and the dark tide outside began to gradually dissipate. The dark tide came and went quickly, and the huge vortex of dark energy gradually dissipated. As the dark energy gathered in the sky gradually dissipated, the undead below also began to disappear one after another. Some burrowed into the ground, some disappeared into the air, and some wandered around in groups of three or five, returning to their previous half-dead state.

The Buddha corpse, which was not a BOSS but was more like a BOSS, also collapsed and disintegrated, disappeared on its own, and turned into another huge pile of bones.

Only the piles of corpses under the city wall proved the fierce battle that had taken place before.

Everyone stood on the city wall, watching the scene gradually calm down, but their reactions varied.

"I'm not staying in this damn place anymore."

"I'm going to retreat too. I almost died just now. I was so scared that I almost pissed myself."

"Goodbye, I still have to brush for a few more days."

"Boss, how about we retreat too?"

"Why retreat? I have spent all my money to buy equipment and magic tools this time. I haven't even recovered the cost yet. Let's continue for two more days."

At this time, Bai Ze couldn't help but ask, "Everyone, I'm new here today and don't understand much. What exactly is this Yin Chao?"

"Don't mention it. It used to happen at least every seven days. Usually when it was about to happen, we would go back to the city and hide, and wait for the dark tide to pass before going out to level up again. But this time it only took three or four days to start."

"It must be a system bug!" The one who said it before continued to insist: "I think we should unite and protest on the website. Who can afford to do this?"

However, no one spoke.

No one knows what is behind this game, but one thing is certain, that is, no one can afford to offend it.

Go and protest? You must be joking. Don't let others protest against you.

No matter how angry you are, what can you do? Should you report it to the relevant authorities?

If you are really scared, you can only quit the game. After all, people who play this game are doing it voluntarily and for profit.

The man shouted a few times, but seeing that no one agreed, he could only shut up.

"I think there must be something special happening in the game." A swordsman in white suddenly said.

Xiao Jie recognized this person. He had abandoned his companions and ran away alone before, but he didn't expect that he could actually run back to him. It seems that this person's lightness skills are absolutely excellent.

Glancing overhead.

Brother Xiaosha (Flying Thief): Level 33, HP 660.

At this time, the cool guy was still encouraging everyone, "Crisis, crisis. Behind every danger is opportunity. There was such a big commotion just now. Maybe some magic weapon has appeared or caused some strange phenomena. Everyone, why don't we team up and go take a look after the Yin tide has completely subsided. I think there must be some treasure at the location of the Yin Qi vortex."

However, someone saw the scene of him running away, and immediately sneered: "Fuck, you idiot, I won't team up with you."

Someone else mocked, "Is it possible that all your teammates are dead? Are you looking for someone else to be cannon fodder now?"

Everyone was sneering and making sarcastic remarks, but the cool guy didn't get angry. He just smiled and said, "In this game, when you encounter danger, everyone takes care of themselves. If it were you, wouldn't you run away?"

Having said that, no one is willing to team up with him.

Someone else mocked, "So what if there is a magic weapon? We can't get it in reality. If it's a spell book, it would be of some use."

Xiao Jie listened for a while, felt it was not very informative, and walked to the side of the old captain.

"The situation is not good. This dark tide has never occurred so suddenly in decades. It seems that the world is going to be in chaos." The old captain suddenly said worriedly.

Xiao Jie's heart was moved, and he said gratefully: "Thank you for your help just now, General. Otherwise, I am afraid that all of us would be buried here."

The old lieutenant waved his hand and said, "Alas, it's just my duty. You are so reckless that you dare to rush into such a dangerous situation. I am old and don't have your passion and courage. I can only open a door for you and guard your retreat."

"Old General, this tide of darkness has never occurred so suddenly before?"

"Indeed, it takes a process for the Yin Qi to gather. Only when it accumulates to a certain level will a Yin tide occur. The Yin Qi on this ancient battlefield was not so dense before. I don't know why, but a Yin wind suddenly rose from the northwest, awakening many undead spirits in the blink of an eye. Perhaps the Taoist priests and masters of the Taiyin Dharma Assembly and the Chunyang Dharma Assembly know something. I am just a brave soldier and can only guard this wall."

Taiyin Dharma Assembly, Pure Yang Dharma Assembly? It seems that more information can only be obtained from these two forces.

Xiao Jie called out, and the four of them went down the city wall and headed straight for Chunyang Tower.

There is a tall tower on the southeast and northeast corners of the Zhenhun Pass. One of them is full of ghostly aura and many ghost-faced warriors are guarding outside the tower.

One tower was emitting a faint glow, and outside it were many golden-armored warriors guarding. They were the headquarters of the Taiyin Dharma Assembly and the Chunyang Dharma Assembly.

These two organizations seemed to be some kind of associations, and their status in Zhenhun Pass was quite extraordinary. The two tall towers happened to be on both sides of the City Lord's Mansion, one on the left and one on the right.

Xiao Jie first went to Chunyang Tower to ask, but was turned away directly because his reputation was neutral and he was not allowed in at all.

Then Xiao Jie went to the Taiyin Tower again, and this time he went in - Ye Luo's reputation in the Taiyin Dharma Assembly was respected.

However, regarding this Yin Tide incident, the Yin-Yang Master of the Taiyin Dharma Assembly remained tight-lipped and was unwilling to reveal any information. He only told the four people that similar incidents would not happen again in the short term.

However, Xiao Jie still saw something. These Yin-Yang masters, psychics, and ghost curse masters were all excited and whispering. It was obvious that they had made some important discoveries. Xiao Jie immediately understood that something had really happened.
Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do if the NPC doesn't give any explanation.

"Ye Luo, can't you continue asking?" Bai Ze was unwilling to give up.

Xiao Jie shook his head and said, "It's useless. I think this will only work if your reputation reaches Revered, or if you have props that can trigger the plot."

When the four of them walked out of the Taiyin Tower, they happened to see the fat monk coming with a few people.

As soon as the two sides met, they immediately understood each other's purpose.

Xiao Jie thought to himself that it seemed that he was not the only one who had figured out what was going on, and these people were probably here to investigate the hidden plot as well.

He participated in a hidden plot in Canglin Prefecture and was well aware of the huge benefits of participating in such plot events. The other party was obviously knowledgeable in taking such actions.

Do you want to cooperate? Before Xiao Jie opened his mouth, the other party greeted him first.

"Brother, thank you for what you did just now."

But it was the fat monk who took the initiative to talk.

Master Shuo Bu De (Arhat Monk): Level 38, HP 820. Xiao Jie also hurriedly said politely: "Well, we should be the ones to thank you. Thank you for helping to clear the way."

"Haha, it's the same with you. We are both in this world, so it's only natural for us to help each other. Do you want to be friends?"

"Of course."

More friends mean more paths, and it never hurts to know more experts.

The two sides exchanged friends, but the fat monk immediately said, "Oh, it's a pity that I have something else to do today, otherwise I would have to have a good chat. Let's contact each other more often in the future. I won't disturb your schedule."

As he said this, he led people directly into the tower.

As soon as Xiao Jie saw this situation, he knew that the other party had no interest in cooperating, so he didn't bother himself.

Forget it. Whether it's to look for the paradise of unparalleled chivalry or to investigate the secret plot behind this dark tide, I have to do it step by step. I'd better clean out my backpack first and replenish my supplies.

Several people came to the commercial area of ​​Zhenhun Pass, where most of the players gathered. When the four of them came to the small square, the group was discussing what happened before.

Xiao Jie did not participate in the discussion. The four of them went to find the merchant to clean out their backpacks and replenish props.

Although this trip was a close call, the rewards were huge. Not only did my level increase, but the monsters here also dropped quite good loot.

In the past half hour, Xiao Jie dropped seven pieces of blank equipment, which were of ancient style and could be sold for several taels of silver in total.

The happiest thing was that I returned three skill books.

Two combat skills.

【Sweep Away the Enemies (Combat Skill/Handle Weapon)】

[Random Shooting (Combat Skill/Bow and Arrow)]

Unfortunately, he had none of them for use, so he could only sell them for money.

However, the third professional skills book came in handy for Xiao Jie.

【Empire Guokui (recipe)

Learning requirements: cooking proficiency. 】

Xiao Jie learned it decisively, and there was one more recipe added to the cooking major.

【Empire Guokui (recipe)

What you need: flour, water, minced meat, cooking fire.

Food effect: Restore 50 points of satiety, additional bonus [Hunger Resistance].

Food Introduction: The military rations used in the ancient Longhua Empire can quickly restore the soldiers' satiety and are very resistant to hunger. After eating, they can maintain full physical strength for a long time. 】

This hunger-resistance effect is quite magical. The lower the player's physical strength is, the faster the physical strength recovery speed is.

It’s a good gain effect.

In addition, a lot of materials were picked up.

[Bone meal], [Spirit-tempered bones], [Zombie blood]... these are all used for alchemy and tool making, and can be sold for dozens or hundreds of coins in the auction house.

After a rough calculation, I earned at least fifteen taels of silver from this trip.

Even if you take out the money for medicine and talismans, you'll still get more than half the profit.

If you don't consider the danger, it is definitely a good place to level up and get treasure.

You have to know that all we killed in more than half an hour were small monsters, and we didn’t even kill an elite monster. If we could kill a few more BOSSes, the benefits would be even greater.

But the danger is real.

After selling the things, Xiao Jie started buying supplies. Pills and other things were of course necessary, but the purification talisman was especially necessary, as it could definitely save his life at the critical moment - save the lives of other people.

Since he had money in his bag, Xiao Jie went to Xiaoyao Wuyou and bought five tickets in one go.

After the four of them finished their shopping, they met again in a small square in the city.

Xiao Jie was just about to discuss the next action plan with everyone.

Ye Luo suddenly suggested, "When we go to find Xia Yi Wushuang later, if it's on the way, how about we go to the place where the Yin Qi vortex is generated?"

"Do you think there really is a magic weapon out there?"

In this game, magic weapons are relatively common, but magic treasures are extremely rare.

So far, Xiao Jie has only seen one and a half of them. One of them is the Immortal Gourd in his hand. This thing is equivalent to unlocking the professional skills of the ancient Qi Refiner. Its value is difficult to judge.

The other item was the Moon Spirit Pearl dropped by the Wolf King. Unfortunately, it was a damaged magic weapon, and it didn’t seem to be of high quality.

According to Xiao Jie's understanding, magic tools are objects with spells attached to them, and the spells attached to them are usually learnable by mages. In other words, they just give physical players a chance to acquire magic skills."

However, magic weapons are treasures that are unique, spiritual, powerful, and have unique magical effects.

"If it's not a magic weapon, then it's the ghost king." Ye Luo said with certainty.

"What if it's the Ghost King?"

"When the time comes, you guys wait for me from a distance. I will go investigate first. If it is a magic weapon, I will call you over. If it is a ghost king, I will definitely run away immediately."

Xiao Jie pondered for a moment: "Okay, I have no problem."

Ye Luo accompanied him to Canglin Province and went through life and death together. He just risked his life to cover their retreat. Now that he was asking for help, it would be bad for him not to help.

"That's fine with me too." I said without hesitation.

Bai Ze was somewhat helpless, "Aren't we here to brush up our weapon skills? What if... Damn, I've leveled up!"

It turned out that Bai Ze had fought his way back all the way, using thunder magic to clear a path in order to survive. He killed countless monsters along the way and directly reached level 29. Now he would have to change his job if he wanted to reach level one more.

Xiao Jie was also speechless, "Why don't you just stop becoming a sword master? I think a thunder master is not bad either. Is your thunder magic very powerful?"

Bai Ze was unwilling to accept this. "A Thunder Mage can only be used as a turret. Without a meat shield, he is just a glass cannon. He must report to the guild leader to survive. Besides, a Thunder Mage is not as cool as a Sword Master. Didn't you say you had a solution before?"

Xiao Jie sighed: "Of course there is a way, in fact, the way is very simple, just reduce the upgrade speed.

First, some equipment in this game will have negative effects, reducing the experience points you gain. Wearing a few pieces of this equipment can slow down the upgrade speed to a certain extent.

Second, form a group with more people, and have others watch you while you fight monsters. This way, when you kill a monster, most of the experience points will be shared by others, and you can only get a few dozen or even a dozen experience points. This naturally leaves you plenty of time to slowly grind for weapon experience points."

Both of these can be done, but they are both very troublesome. Not only is it difficult to sell equipment, but it is even more troublesome to recruit more people. After all, it is impossible for others to do nothing and watch you fight monsters just to help you. It always costs money.

Furthermore, the level of the group members cannot be too low, otherwise they will not be able to share much experience.

Bai Ze obviously understood this and hesitated.

"Actually, there is another way. In this game, there are adventures that can improve swordsmanship experience, as well as wall carvings and sword manuals left by certain swordsmanship masters. If your comprehension is high enough, or if certain conditions are triggered, you can comprehend them and instantly increase a large amount of swordsmanship experience.

But this kind of thing is hard to come by and is very difficult to find.”

Bai Ze felt even more helpless after hearing this, as it was really difficult to improve his swordsmanship to the master level.

Ye Luo suddenly said, "I think maybe master-level swordsmanship is enough. After all, the sword master is a fusion profession. The requirements can't be as high as those of a pure advanced profession, right? As far as I know, the advanced requirements for the sword saint are only the grandmaster-level swordsmanship.

The sword master should be slightly lower."

Xiao Jie thought that this was not impossible, but Bai Ze just wanted to be safe.

"How about this, let's go find Xia Yi Wushuang first. Maybe we can encounter similar adventures in that secret realm. I just saw that many of the fairies were holding swords. If that doesn't work, we can consider other options."

Bai Ze sighed, "Okay."

The group of four came to the city wall again and looked outside. The dampness outside had completely dissipated and it looked exactly the same as when they first arrived.

Carefully walking out of the city gate, the four of them headed towards the coordinates given by Xia Yi Wushuang.
