Chapter 314: The Clouds Disappear
Chapter 314: The Clouds Disappear
Xiao Jie was horrified. Fortunately, he came here, otherwise...
Click the deal quickly.
There was suddenly a paper figure in the bag.
Right click to use.
Then I saw the paper man slowly falling to the ground, and a puff of white smoke came out with a puff. The paper man swelled up like a balloon, and in the blink of an eye he turned into an unparalleled chivalrous figure.
At this moment, Xia Yi Wushuang, who was sitting in front of the computer scratching his head, suddenly found that the screen had returned to normal. He was overjoyed, and when he saw Xiao Jie next to him, he was even more relieved.
"Brother Suifeng, I really didn't misjudge you. Hahaha, you're finally back to normal."
He had been in contact with Xiao Jie before and had a rough idea of what had happened. Looking at the puppeteer in front of him, he was immediately filled with anger.
"Damn it, it's this old guy who tricked me! I'm going to chop you up today!"
Xiao Jie was startled, "Wait a minute, Brother Xia, are you sure you want to fight him here?"
If we really have to fight, it's not impossible, but we have to be fully prepared before we fight, and at least have a plan for retreat.
Otherwise, it would attract hundreds of ghosts to attack, which would be bad.
Although Xia Yi Wushuang was angry, he knew what was right and what was wrong.
"Fuck, this is such a shame, I'll let it go today, but next time I see him in the wild I'm going to kill him."
The puppeteer's mask turned into a smiling face, "Little brother, if you still miss me so much, why don't we meet alone someday? Maybe our fate has not yet ended. What do you think?"
This made Xia Yi Wushuang a little scared. The key point was that the puppeteer's methods were really unpredictable and he didn't even know how he got caught.
As a physical profession, he has no ability to counter such a dirty trick.
But he didn't lose the battle, "Humph, we will meet, we will meet at the old place in a month. Anyone who doesn't come is a grandson!"
I thought to myself, at worst I can hire a few wizards as thugs and get myself a few magical weapons, and then I’ll get my revenge.
The puppeteer nodded slightly, "It's settled then. I accept this contract."
System prompt: You have challenged the puppeteer to a duel, thus triggering the duel mission - [January Appointment].
Mission content: A decisive battle will be held with the foreign language puppeteer in Youquan Town, Ghost Mist Ridge in one month.
Mission Reward: ????
Failure penalty: -500 reputation to all factions, and temporary title of [Deserter] for 30 days.
Xia Yi Wushuang was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that he could trigger a mission. However, he was also a ruthless person. "Then it's settled!"
Several people left the stage. When they were far away, Xiao Jie couldn't help but ask, "Brother Xia, how did you flip over?"
"Don't mention it. I was collecting herbs when the Yin Tide broke out. I saw that something was wrong and wanted to find a place to hide. Unexpectedly, an old monster who was collecting relics suddenly appeared in front of me. Do you know what an old monster who was collecting relics is?"
Xiao Jie naturally knew about it. He and I had fought against a little monster who was collecting relics before we became immortals. This old monster who was collecting relics obviously dropped better things.
"Yeah, and then you chased after him?"
"Of course I did. It is said that the old monster Shiyi has orange equipment. As I was chasing him, a mist suddenly appeared in front of me. I ran around in a place that looked like a paradise. Then, a group of fairies surrounded me... Oh, and I also got an orange weapon. It was worth it."
"Are you sure it's Orange Weapon?"
Xia Yi Wushuang hurriedly opened his backpack.
【Golden Paper Sword (Miscellaneous)
Item Description: A sword folded from gold paper, seems to be a prop used in paper theater. 】
"Gan!"
"Are you really planning to challenge him to a duel in a month?"
"Of course I will. I will take revenge for this. Brother Suifeng, don't worry. I was tricked before. I will definitely not be defeated in a head-on confrontation."
Xiao Jie hesitated and said, "What about the puppeteer level 48..."
"What are you afraid of at level 48? Didn't you defeat the level 15 Xiong Ba when you were level 29?"
"I won by relying on my peerless swordsmanship."
"Hehe, to tell you the truth, I will soon be able to master peerless swordsmanship."
Xiao Jie thought that was pretty good.
"But Brother Xia, how do you break the evil magic of that puppeteer?"
These words immediately left Xia Yi Wu Shuang speechless.
"Don't worry, I'll just get some more magic tools and spells when the time comes."
Bai Ze said in a deep voice: "That paper puppet doesn't seem to be an ordinary spell. At least it is completely different from the heavenly soldiers summoned by the talisman."
Ye Luo said: "I think the key lies in this 'Abandoned Disciple of the Painting Saint Studio'. Have you heard of this Painting Saint Studio before? Even an abandoned disciple is so powerful, then if he is a closed disciple, can he turn the virtual into the real, and just draw a person..."
Xiao Jie's heart suddenly moved. This description reminded him of an event in the past.
When Chen Tianwen was attacked, he went to Chen Tianwen's house to get elixir and met several paper people.
According to Chen Tianwen, it was done by someone from the Pantheon. Could it be that someone in the Pantheon has mastered the secret techniques of Huashengzhai?
Nine times out of ten.
"Let's go. We can talk about the duel later. I have to go redeem the incense first and see if there is anything worth buying here."
Xiao Jie first went to the pawnshop to buy the ebony incense. This thing is a good thing and should not be wasted like this. He didn't expect that it was sold for 4000 yuan before, but now it has become 8000 yuan when he buys it again.
After Xiao Jie made the purchase, he only had 6000 yuan left.
I saw it and traded three thousand directly. "Brother Feng, I won this eight thousand Yuanbao with your capital, so I'll give you three thousand."
"I'll give you five thousand as well. Thanks to your intelligence fee, I was able to complete the mission." Ye Luo said as he traded five thousand Yuanbao.
Xiao Jie didn't hesitate. This way he had 14,000 gold ingots in his bag, which was just enough to buy some good things to take out.
The few of them wandered around the ghost market and actually found a lot of good things.
The first is the various weapons.
The weapons here have extremely bad attributes and only have a few points of attack power.
But they all have a special effect, which is to behead the soul.
It can cause harm to ghosts. It's a good thing. I can sell it for a few taels of silver.
With these low-level soul-slaying weapons, ordinary players will at least not be completely defenseless when encountering ghosts.
But it is not possible to sell it at a high price because its properties are too poor.
Ye Luo bought four mourning sticks and four soul-piercing spears in one go, preparing to take them out and make some profit from the difference.
I, Yuyuechengxian, spent five thousand yuan to buy a soul-nourishing jade, which can enhance the attributes of the baby wolf spirit. The fighting power of this wolf spirit is really weak, and it has no sense of existence. Maybe it can be of some use after a wave of strengthening.
Xiao Jie couldn't decide what to buy for a moment.
There weren't many useful things for him in the ghost market. Equipment and props were useless. After all, Qi cultivators were immune to all kinds of poisons, including gods and ghosts, so many things were useless to him.
How about buying a recipe or something to take back? You can earn some money later.
I walked around the food area of the ghost market twice, checked several shops selling food one by one, and finally found something of interest from an old lady.
【Meng Po Soup (Food)
Use: Turn all your used attribute points back into free attribute points. (Cannot be used for players above level 30).
Item Description: It is said to be a strange soup that came from the underworld, and has the mysterious power to make people forget the past. 】
Good stuff! This is a washing tool!
Especially for those players who choose the physical route in the early stage and want to switch to the magic route in the later stage, it is definitely a magical item for rebirth.
In case you make the wrong additions in the early stages and want to change careers later on, everything becomes possible with this thing.
But the price is outrageous, it costs 10000 yuanbao for a bowl, and there is only one bowl.
Xiao Jie had to buy it no matter how expensive it was, so he bought it decisively.
I still have 4,000 yuan left and I'm wondering how to spend it.
Xia Yi Wushuang suddenly said, "Brother Suifeng, please be a good person and lend me some more gold ingots. I need to buy four 'Bianhua'."
"Why did you buy red spider lilies?"
"To do the peerless swordsmanship mission. Otherwise, why would I come to this damn place called Ghost Mist Ridge? I just want to pick some special herbs."
Xiao Jie did not refuse and directly traded all the remaining gold ingots.
Xia Yi Wushuang bought the necessary quest items in the pharmacy and was immediately in a good mood. Although he almost died on this trip, he finally got all the quest items.
Bai Ze suddenly asked, "To learn peerless swordsmanship, you need to master the swordsmanship, right?"
Xia Yi Wushuang said: "That's natural."
"How did Brother Xiayi develop his master-level swordsmanship?"
"How else can I practice? I just fight monsters. I started using the sword in the Novice Village, and I mastered the swordsmanship before I reached level 30."
Bai Ze sighed after hearing this, "Alas."
Xia Yi Wushuang was somewhat puzzled and asked Xiao Jie, "Why is this guy sighing?"
"He is level 29 now. If he wants to become a swordsman, he needs to upgrade his swordsmanship to the Grandmaster level. But he has just upgraded, and it seems hopeless..."
"Weapon skills? Sword master?"
"Yeah, even if I keep using swordsmanship to fight monsters it won't work."
Xia Yi Wushuang smiled and said, "What a coincidence! Leave it to me. I have a way."
"Ah, really?"
"It's a piece of cake. I know a place where you can find an NPC to spar with and improve your weapon proficiency. I'll take you there when the time comes."
Bai Ze was overjoyed when he heard this, "That's great, Brother Xia, you are my real brother, come here, take these three thousand yuan."
Xia Yi Wushuang was not polite either. He took out three thousand yuan treasures and bought some herbs such as ghost fog grass and dark lantern grass, and spent them all in one go.
The four of them went shopping and spent most of the gold ingots they had.
"Sister Yeluo, how do we leave?"
Ye Luo said, "No need to bother—just look at the sky."
At this moment, it was already noon and the sky was not as dark as before. A faint ray of sunlight could be vaguely seen shining through the clouds in the sky. Although the surroundings were still dim, there was already a hint of light.
The surrounding houses gradually became translucent. The ghost residents around them also became vague, and only the outlines of five people were still clear.
Xiao Jie was surprised and asked, "What's going on?"
Ye Luo explained: "At noon, the Yang energy is at its strongest, and the Yin tide just broke out before, causing the Yin energy to be consumed in a short period of time, so the ghost market can no longer continue to exist in the world of the living. In the final analysis, humans and ghosts have different paths, and they cannot appear at ordinary times."
As if to confirm Ye Luo's words, fog began to rise around them, as if the houses and towns were melting in the sunlight.
After a few minutes, when the fog dissipated, Youquan Town finally disappeared completely. Only the ruins of Qingquan Town were left around. There was no ghost market at all.
A ray of sunlight shone through the clouds and illuminated several people. Xiao Jie looked at the scenery on the screen and felt as if he had had a strange dream.
