Chapter 331 Everything is ready, the whole army attacks
This……
Looking at the introduction of the secret, Xiao Jie couldn't help but frowned, but then relaxed again.
Overall, this secret technique is still very powerful. It has a certain probability of triggering the annihilation effect on the target. It is an instant kill and it is completely unreasonable. No matter how much blood volume, defense, or resistance you have... you will be killed in one move.
The problem is that he is somewhat displeased with this probability-triggered mechanism.
Since it is a probability, there is a possibility of failure, and it is very high. If you fail at the critical moment, it will be a disaster.
If it is an ordinary game, there is no problem with the probability triggering, anyway, if you fail, you can just try again. Once every seven days, you can try to kill the BOSS in seconds and try your luck. As long as you succeed once, you can earn back your investment.
The problem is that nowadays we are playing this kind of one-life game, which is very disappointing. If in the final battle you want to trigger annihilation but end up triggering a life reduction effect, that would be very disappointing.
Although the effect of shortening lifespan is not bad, 30 years of shortening lifespan... for ordinary human enemies, it is almost like directly changing from young and strong to middle-aged and elderly. At that time, the aging effect will definitely be triggered and the attributes will be reduced. However, it is hard to say how much the attributes will be reduced. After all, some people are still strong and healthy at the age of sixty or seventy.
On the other hand, those elderly martial arts masters are very powerful. For example, Yuan Bai only has ten years left to live. Wouldn't he be killed instantly with just one strike of his sword?
Generally, those famous masters are in their forties or fifties. Even if they can’t kill the enemy in an instant with one sword strike, they will instantly become old men.
But if you encounter enemies like monsters, goblins, undead, mechanical puppets, and dragons, I'm afraid it will be of no use.
After all, these monsters are either immortal and can live for thirty years without any problems, or they are not living creatures and thirty or three hundred years will probably make no difference.
From this point of view, it is probably only effective against two types of enemies: humanoid and beast.
However, considering that the target this time is the Qinglong Society and Liu Qiang, the effect of this secret is quite good.
When the time comes, whenever you meet Liu Qiang, just shoot him first no matter who else does. Even if you can't kill him in seconds, you will make him turn into an old Deng and disgust him to death.
"How about it, brother, isn't this trick powerful?
"Yes, this move is really powerful." Xiao Jie said with satisfaction. At least for humanoid enemies, it is absolutely powerful.
But I don't know how to calculate the prerequisite for "seeing through life and death". Does it mean that the player himself enters a near-death state? Then it can be triggered?
Or is it triggering some special BUFF?
It's impossible that the me outside the computer can see through life and death, and then the character in the game can deliver an annihilation blow, right?
It feels like this game has always been about projecting the game into reality, but there has never been a situation where reality is projected into the game.
"Haha, as long as you are satisfied, I wish you a successful start."
After bidding farewell to Yuan Bai, Xiao Jie continued his improvement plan.
The skills have been enhanced, and the next step is to enhance the equipment.
It's pitiful to say that Xiao Jie's equipment now can be said to be incomplete, because he rarely has stable farming time, and he has been wearing whatever he gets. He has good equipment too, and he has as many as three pieces of purple equipment alone.
However, there are also a lot of mediocre and even junk equipment. The worst one is the blank one - leather armor and pants, which he has never changed since he came to the Novice Village.
Although the few blue and green items on his body are okay, they are not a complete set, and their attributes are not too compatible with his fighting style. They can only be said to be make do.
Now Xiao Jie is preparing to get a set of usable equipment and replace some of the outdated equipment he has.
He went straight to the auction house, searching for equipment in the auction house while examining the equipment on his body.
Warrior's Wristguard... This thing increases unarmed damage. It's totally useless. Replace it.
Hunter Gauntlets: Increases hit rate... This is obviously equipment for ranged professions, and it is just a green outfit, so it also needs to be replaced.
Leather leggings: They are still blank, change them.
Bobcat leather boots: This is not bad, it increases agility and movement speed, you can keep it.
Bone Jade Ring: Adds two points of spirit, so keep it.
Black Iron Ring: This is useless, replace it.
In addition, cloaks and shoulder pads are also required.
As for the focus of equipment...if it were in the past, he would definitely go for the pure agility route, but now that he is a wizard, Xiao Jie decisively chose magic equipment. After all, he is now going to go the sorcery route, but his spirit and spirituality are not high, so he can make up for it with equipment.
Soon Xiao Jie locked on the equipment he wanted to buy in the auction house.
Moral Ring: Spirituality +2. 25 taels each.
Rune Wristband: Increases duration of buff or debuff spells by 10%. 20 taels.
Assassin's Gauntlets: +5% chance of critical hit. 15 taels.
Eight Treasures Covering Pants: Spirit +2, Stamina +2. Obtained for 30 taels.
Xuanmen Cloak: Spirit +2. 25 taels to get it...
In this way, Xiao Jie finally built up some of his spirit and spirituality.
Mental strength reached 31 and spirituality reached 41.
He now has 10 free attribute points, all added to spirit. In this way, his spirit attribute reaches 41. With 410 mana points, he is no longer worried about running out of mana too quickly.
Otherwise, with the limited mana he had before, the spell wouldn't have been able to be used more than a few times.
The spirituality of 41 is still a bit low and cannot be compared with the genuine wizard. Generally, those who go the magic damage route, such as Deidara and Bai Ze, have a spirituality of at least 60. Fortunately, the sorcery is mainly functional, so the impact is not that great.
The only offensive spell is the Demon Fire Spell.
But if there are more magic in the future, I'm afraid this will still be a problem. Should I just clean up the site and go the magic damage route?
Xiao Jie was also hesitant about this.
Of course, forget about it for now. The spell is not yet complete, so I can only continue to follow the physical route.
Xiao Jie did not waste the equipment he had replaced. He put them all on the auction house. Although their attributes were average, he could still make some money back.
I looked at the silver in the bag. There were more than two hundred taels of silver, but in the blink of an eye, only more than thirty taels were left.
It's miserable. The money hasn't even warmed up yet.
And these thirty taels cannot be saved.
I had to buy all the necessary elixirs and talismans, and after some replenishment, there was only 5 taels of silver left in my bag.
Xiao Jie couldn't help but sigh, he was a poor guy again.
However, in a game with only one life, you naturally cannot save money. Every penny must be converted into combat power as much as possible. Only by staying alive can you talk about the future.
Besides, he is not afraid of having no money. As long as the expedition to Beiming Province is successful, he will have plenty of money. Besides, the food and equipment he put up for auction will at least make back several dozen taels of money.
Just as he was thinking about it, a few more people walked into the auction house. They were all players from the Luoyang branch.
"Hey, Brother Feng, are you shopping too?"
"Yes, we will take action tomorrow, so we must be fully prepared."
Xiao Jie greeted a few guild members he knew and walked out of the auction house, only to see the Drunken Swordsman walking towards him.
"Hey, Brother Feng, I'm looking for you."
At the beginning, the Drunken Swordsman was quite arrogant. After all, he had a level advantage. At over level 30, he was considered a master in this game.
However, ever since he asked Xiao Jie for help in learning the peerless sword technique, the way he addressed him changed from Brother Suifeng to Brother Feng.
"What's up?"
"I want you to help me with my mission." Drunken Swordsman said as he recounted the process of how he triggered the Sword Demon mission.
Xiao Jie thought it was interesting at first, but frowned when he heard the last part. "Wait a minute, what is the reward for the mission that the Sword Demon gave you? Isn't it peerless swordsmanship?" Hearing this, Xiao Jie immediately realized that something was wrong.
When the tree demon from Ginkgo Village gave him the task, the reward was also? ? ? ?
He felt it was unreliable at the time, and then he and I went to report it with the intention of becoming immortal, which instead triggered another opposite task.
??? This kind of reward is not reliable at all. After all, NPCs in this game can lie.
"Yeah, I find it strange too, but I think it may be that the sword demon has more than one set of peerless swordsmanship, so I need to be the candidate then? What's wrong, Brother Feng?"
"I'm afraid your mission is risky. I've done a mission with this kind of reward before."
Xiao Jie introduced the original tree demon mission to Drunken Swordsman.
"So you reported the tree demon?" Drunken Swordsman was a little surprised. Is it possible to play it like this?
"Yes."
The Drunken Swordsman immediately drew inferences from his experience, "Then can I also inform on the Sword Demon and get Long Yuan's peerless swordsmanship in return?"
Xiao Jie said: "I'm afraid not. The tree demon's derivative appeared in the back mountain of the village. It was a hidden danger to the village. We reported it and solved a problem for the village. If we don't report it, it might lure other people to release it in the future.
And later we helped kill the tree demon's derivative.
Your current situation is not going away. The Sword Demon is already imprisoned. Even if you report it, at most you will have to keep him under extra supervision. It's not a big achievement. You can't kill the Sword Demon, right? Hey, it seems that it's not impossible."
"Kill the Sword Demon?" Drunken Swordsman was stunned, but reacted immediately.
The NPCs in the game can also drop equipment. A hermit like the Sword Demon may even drop some unique martial arts.
"If you report it, I'm afraid at most you can only improve your reputation in the Heroes' Association, but it's not completely hopeless. Maybe Long Yuan likes you and agrees to give you the mission."
The Drunken Swordsman smiled bitterly. Long Yuan and he did not get along well. He was always in a bad mood when he spoke. This kind of thing might be difficult to accomplish.
Xiao Jie continued to analyze, "You now have three choices. 1. Continue to complete the mission and wait and see. If the Sword Demon has any special plans, the mission will definitely change. For example, after you kill everyone, the Sword Demon will definitely not be so happy to teach you the peerless swordsmanship. Maybe he will ask you to help him recover his power, or even save him, and then teach you the swordsmanship, and drag him down step by step."
"2. Report to the Heroes Association in exchange for favorability. There is a slight chance of gaining Long Yuan's favor and triggering the quest line of peerless swordsmanship, but the probability doesn't seem very high. After all, it's just a report. When we killed the tree demon derivative, we only got a magic weapon. We provided the materials ourselves."
"3. Just kill the Sword Demon directly. Maybe it will drop directly. But the probability is not very high. After all, the Sword Demon is imprisoned. If there are any secret books on him, they would have been searched away long ago. But it's possible. After all, this is a game. Wild boars can drop leather armor, so it's not surprising that the Sword Demon drops a secret book.
But since the Sword Demon was imprisoned and not killed, it means that the Heroes Association is unwilling to kill the Sword Demon. After you kill the Sword Demon, you will probably have to run away immediately, otherwise you will be arrested."
Xiao Jie gave Jiu Jianxian a brief analysis, and Jiu Jianxian hesitated for a long time, "I'd better choose 1."
The main reason was that this adventure mission made him feel like he had become the hero of a martial arts novel. As a hero, how could he inform on someone or even kill an old man who was so weak that he could not even tie a chicken?
You must complete the task and then be taught the true teachings.
"That's fine. Just finish the task first and see what he says. But if he asks you to let him go, don't just agree to it. Is there anything else?"
"By the way, Brother Feng, I'll give you the demon pill." The Drunken Swordsman suddenly said.
This time Xiao Jie did not refuse. Anyway, the Drunken Swordsman had already joined his small group, so he had to help him if he was asked for help in the future. It would be better to take the reward first and strengthen himself.
"Okay, then I won't be polite. No matter what the Sword Demon's situation is, just come to me if you have any questions."
The Drunken Swordsman suddenly had an idea.
"Haha, of course, of course." Then he traded the last demon pill to Xiao Jie.
This bull demon's inner elixir was dropped by Niu Dali, and its quality is very good. Speaking of which, Niu Dali's level is even higher than Li Jinlin. Li Jinlin's inner elixir can refine two magic arts, so Niu Dali can't be inferior.
In the case of the scalper, the attribute given would most likely be strength, which is not ideal.
But Xiao Jie doesn't have the right to be picky at this time.
He ate it without saying anything.
System prompt: You refined the [Bull Demon Inner Pill] and gained 2306 spiritual energy points.
System prompt: Due to the talent [Demon Spirit Manifestation], you gained 3 points of strength attribute.
System prompt: You have gained 3498 experience points.
System prompt: You have mastered a magic skill, Magic: Gigantism.
System prompt: You have obtained 36 points of bull demon spirit, and you have opened a spirit accumulation progress [Giant Bull Incarnation], and the current progress is 36%.
【Giant (Magic: Level 2)
Use: Doubles a target's height, increases its size eightfold, increases its strength by 100%, and reduces its agility by 50%. Attacks with additional toughness.
Usage cost: 60 mana points.
Spell Introduction: A magic spell commonly used by power-type demons. It instantly increases in size, gains more powerful strength, and crushes enemies with brute force. However, due to the change in size, the sensitivity will also decrease accordingly. 】
Xiao Jie wondered why he was only given one magic spell... Fortunately, the effect of this magic spell was quite good, although it was of no use to him.
However, it can be added to teammates, such as Daju, or I Want to Become an Immortal, a power-type character, which is a very powerful BUFF...
--------
That night, not only Xiao Jie was busy improving his strength, but all the players in the entire Luoyang branch were busy and preparing. This was a big operation, slaying a dragon, it was exciting just thinking about it.
There are also those who are timid and afraid of becoming cannon fodder, especially the peripheral members who do not have such a strong sense of belonging to the guild and do not have so many responsibilities. Some simply ask for leave.
Xiao Bailong didn't force it. This kind of thing must be voluntary. Otherwise, it would be a small matter if he was resentful and didn't work hard. But if he dragged the team down, that would be a big deal.
Fortunately, after this period of running-in, the team's cohesion is still very strong. Only four or five people asked for leave, and most people chose to participate in the action. After all, this action is to double the points, and the income is at least 20 taels of silver. If the dragon drops some good things, it is not a problem to earn dozens of taels.
Besides, with so many people joining the battle, as long as I'm not too unlucky, I'll probably be fine.
When it comes to slaying the dragon, the masters will definitely go first, and the weaker ones will just have to stay on the periphery to show off their strength.
The next morning, all the people from the Luoyang branch gathered in the square of Luoyang City.
There are a total of forty-three players and more than sixty cavalry (many of which are cavalry led by generals).
There were five densely packed queues in the square.
Looking at the new experts who have joined, the ordinary members are even more confident.
With so many experts here, what are you afraid of?
Xiao Bailong and Xiao Jie rode side by side, standing at the front of the queue, reviewing the branch's team lineup together. Xiao Bailong's eyes swept over those familiar members, but fell on the newly joined guests.
They are all masters over level 30, plus Bai Ze and Yin Yue Sui Feng have also reached level 30. This force is of great importance in the branch.
Xiao Bailong was quite sensible and said politely: "Brother Feng, you must cooperate with my command this time. Whether our Luoyang branch can come out on top in this operation depends entirely on you."
Xiao Jie laughed, "Haha, Brother Bailong, you are too polite. We are all from the Luoyang branch, so why should we divide each other? Don't worry, I think everyone is willing to contribute."
After hearing what Xiao Jie said, Xiao Bailong felt relieved.
"Brothers, I won't say anything else. This dragon-slaying operation is the biggest operation since the establishment of the Dragon Knights. As long as it succeeds, our guild will take off in the future. Everyone will benefit. The guild leader has already said that all the drops from the dragon-slaying will be distributed according to work, except for the dragon head. Those with the highest points will win. If you want to get the best, you must work hard. Let's go!"
A group of knights marched out of Luoyang Town in a mighty procession.
