After working hard for a long time, I did some side quests and rose to level 20.

But this half day also wore out Lu Xiaoyun's patience.

Due to the choice of the temple line in the early stage, he was extremely slow to level up, and the tasks of the temple were all smelly and long, and the rewards were meager.

The player who is the first on the leaderboard is already level 36 at the moment, and the players in the front row of the leaderboard, at a glance, are all in the imperial royal camp, and there is not a single temple player.

This couldn't help but make the corners of Lu Xiaoyun's mouth twitch slightly.

He is a little anxious now, he has been thrown out of the first echelon for 108,000 miles, which is unbearable for Lu Xiaoyun, who is determined to achieve something in this game.

In fact, Lu Xiaoyun's personality is relatively calm and introverted, and his fighting spirit is not particularly strong. But this game has a special meaning for Lu Xiaoyun. He must achieve something in this game to break free from the shackles that the real world has placed on him.

And what makes Lu Xiaoyun anxious now is that he has no main quest, the upgrade is slow, and the distance between him and the first echelon is not only not shortened, but even gradually widened.

"Pit, I can only take a risk!" After completing the last side quest at hand and obtaining the [Worn-out Cloth Armor Bracers], Lu Xiaoyun wore equipment all over his body except for jewelry.

Although except for a level 9 goblin shoulder guard with 2 agility points, the rest are blank boards with no additional attributes, but at least they can add a few armor points to make themselves a little more resistant to beating.

Gritting his teeth, he went to the NPC's grocery store to buy a few bottles of red medicine, and Lu Xiaoyun began to resolutely advance towards the Leiden Plain.

The Leiden Plain was different from the previous forest, it was a little far away from the temple where Lu Xiaoyun was, and it took more than two hours just to travel. And Lu Xiaoyun, who finally arrived at the Leiden Plain, looked at the dozen or so plain predators in front of him and wanted to cry without tears.

Plains Predator (Normal Monster)

Level: 20

Health: 416

Armour: 22

Synopsis: A ruthless and cunning predator that roams the Plains of Leiden, generally preferring to act in groups.

As a player, you can find out the attributes of monsters through the system, but if you don't have special skills, you can only find the most basic information, such as the plain predator in front, Lu Xiaoyun can't see any attributes other than armor and health.

Lu Xiaoyun checked his attributes again

Lu Xiaoyun (Knight)

Level: 20

Attack Strength: 44-65

Armor 56

Magic Resistance 0

Health 540

Mana 89

As an adventurer, Lu Xiaoyun's attributes are much higher than those of Plains Predators, especially because he is wearing whiteboard armor all over his body, and Lu Xiaoyun's armor of up to 56 points can bring him a lot of physical damage reduction.

However, since Lu Xiaoyun couldn't see the detailed attributes of this monster, he didn't know how high its damage was.

If he fights alone, Lu Xiaoyun still has the confidence to solve one. But if the two of them go together, Lu Xiaoyun will be a little difficult, and in the face of hordes of predators, Lu Xiaoyun is basically helpless.

The death penalty in this game is very severe.

If the health bar is emptied, it will enter the so-called critical injury state, which is actually dead in normal games. At this stage, it is possible to run corpses, and players in the soul state can be resurrected if they can find their own corpse.

But if there is no way to find the corpse, for example, the corpse was eaten or cremated by a wild beast, or damaged in the eyes of the player, it means that everything in the player's game, except for the game experience in the brain, will be reset, which is equivalent to re-establishing the account.

Lu Xiaoyun didn't dare to provoke this group of predators easily, there was no difference between going up to challenge and sending them to death. After wandering around the plains for a long time, Lu Xiaoyun finally found a lone plain predator.

With a rare opportunity, Lu Xiaoyun brandished his iron sword and rushed directly towards this predator.

The iron sword was slammed down, but a big MISS was made, and Lu Xiaoyun's face turned dark.

The predator dodged Lu Xiaoyun's attack and did not fight back immediately, but walked around Lu Xiaoyun, looking at Lu Xiaoyun with a cold expression.

"The intelligence of this game monster is outrageous!" This predator can afford to drag it, but Lu Xiaoyun can't afford it, if other hordes of predators pass here, he will be dead.

Lu Xiaoyun picked up his iron sword again and launched an attack on the predator.

“38！”

“36！”

This time, the beast did not dodge, but launched an attack on Lu Xiaoyun at the same time, and the two figures came out of Lu Xiaoyun and the plains predator at the same time.

"The damage is so high!?" The attack power of this wild monster did not seem to be lower than Lu Xiaoyun, and the second blow of the predator of the opposite plain also fell on Lu Xiaoyun.

“41！”

"That's amazing!" This monster's agility is higher than Lu Xiaoyun's, resulting in faster attack frequencies than Lu Xiaoyun, and the dodge and critical hits it brings are not low. If you continue to stand like this, maybe Lu Xiaoyun will finish first, but ordinary wild monsters generally don't have skills, and Lu Xiaoyun, as a knight profession, although he has not changed jobs, he still has skills.

“36！”

After a righteous general attack hit, Lu Xiaoyun instantly used the knight's built-in skill [Trial].

“31！”

The Judgment skill deals 31 damage to the Plains Predator and reduces its attack by 10.

“81！” And after the trial ended, the smooth and smooth followed by a basic attack to cancel the skill of the backswing, this time the basic attack actually critted, causing double damage, and the blood volume of the plains predator instantly decreased by a small half-pipe.

“19！” At this time, the third general attack of the plain predator fell on Lu Xiaoyun's body.

The effect of the Judgment makes the predator's attack tickle.

It didn't take long for Lu Xiaoyun to finish off this predator.

Although there was no danger, Lu Xiaoyun's blood volume also dropped a lot.

"System Prompt: Congratulations on killing the Plains Predator and increasing your experience by 200 points."

The XP bonus is quite generous, but nothing has exploded on this creature. Lu Xiaoyun doesn't particularly care, if he can kill the first one, he can kill the second one.

Continuing to wander in the plains for a long time, the drop of the temple quest is still very pitted, Lu Xiaoyun has already killed 4 lone plain predators, and still has not seen the shadow of the quest item.

The claws of the plains predators, as the name suggests, are the feet of this beast.

Lu Xiaoyun cut off the claws of the plains predators he killed, but the system did not prompt that the task was completed, this should be a special drop item, not as simple as ordinary claws.

Lu Xiaoyun was very patient and continued to hunt the lone predator, and his mentality at this time was better than at the beginning.

Until the eighth plains predator died under Lu Xiaoyun's sword, Lu Xiaoyun was about to leave.

"Congratulations on dropping the Claws of the Plains Predator"

"Congratulations on completing the quest [Sacrifice of the Gods]! You gain 460 XP, Temple Fame +2, and the follow-up quest [Blessing of the Earth Goddess] has been automatically accepted for you. ”

"Oh~?"

This kind of automatic acceptance of tasks is still relatively rare.

The hard work has been completed, and the next time is a more critical moment, as long as you get the approval of the goddess of earth, you can join the temple, and the gap that has been opened up in front of you can also slowly catch up.

Although it is completely unclear what kind of existence the so-called gods in this game are, the current purpose of Lu Xiaoyun is very clear, that is, to join the big tree of the temple through the trial of the so-called gods in this world.

With the quest item [Claws of the Plains Predator], Lu Xiaoyun came to the next mission location, the altar of the goddess of earth.

As one of the five main gods of this world, the altar of the goddess of earth is simple and heavy, but also exudes nobility and elegance. Of course, this may also be my own subjective feeling, but the altar in front of me is all earthy yellow, and it seems to be made of clay.

The claws of the beast he had obtained were placed in front of the goddess statue on the altar, and Lu Xiaoyun began to pray according to the prompts of the task.

"By the way, what is prayer for?" Lu Xiaoyun didn't know how to pray at all, but now that the matter has come, he has no choice but to chase the ducks to the shelves. He forced himself to empty his mind, and began to think back to the only book he had ever read about the gods of this world.

In the creation story of the [Oracle Codex], the goddess of light created the sky, including the sun and moon and other stars, and she created the five pillars of the gods, that is, the goddess of earth, the god of fire, the goddess of wind, the goddess of water, and the god of life.

The Five Pillars of Deity, created by the Goddess of Light, came together to create this world.

In the creation myth, from a human perspective, the goddess of earth and the goddess of wind are the only two positive figures among the gods. The goddess of water once launched a great flood to destroy mankind, and at this time, the goddess of earth created the plateau and mountains, and humans survived on the plateau.

Compared to the goddess of earth, the goddess of wind, although also leaning towards humans, is relatively neutral.

Lu Xiaoyun finally chose the goddess of earth as the god he believed in in this world, and it was also for this reason. Other gods may have their own positions to determine their attitudes towards humans, but as a human being, they can only be a human being, and Lu Xiaoyun can only think from the standpoint of human beings in this world.

After thinking about it for a long time, the altar did not change, and Lu Xiaoyun's somewhat pale face was reflected on the quaint earthy stone steps.

Lu Xiaoyun's mind was a little anxious, at this moment he had a feeling of a real-world interview, this metaphor may not be appropriate, but as the tension gradually subsided, the emotions of gain and loss came to his heart again.

Another half of the day passed.

System Prompt: [Blessing of the Earth Goddess] is about to be completed.

"Whew!"

Is this a test of patience?

As the system prompt sounded, Lu Xiaoyun let out a sigh of relief. After knowing the bottom in his heart, his thoughts gradually calmed down, but at this moment, Lu Xiaoyun felt an obscure aura permeating the altar, constantly circling and dancing around him, as if looking at him.

As if all the secrets in his body were being looked at, Lu Xiaoyun endured the discomfort and continued to pray.

After a while, the obscure aura gradually subsided, and Lu Xiaoyun found himself in a cold sweat.

"Buzz ......"

I saw that the [claws of the plains predator] slowly dissolved into the altar.

"System Prompt: The Goddess of Earth has accepted your sacrifice, [Blessing of the Goddess of Earth] has been completed, congratulations, you have obtained the following skills:

[God's Gaze]: Passive skill, you are a believer in the goddess of earth, and she is watching you!

[Earth Affinity] (Low Level): Passive skill, Earth Resistance +10, Earth Attribute damage received is slightly reduced. ”

"System prompt: You have completed the quest [Blessing of the Goddess of Earth], go to the gray-clothed priest to report."

Is the breath of obscurity the gods of this world?

This terrifying pressure, Lu Xiaoyun felt that he was about to suffocate, it was hard to imagine that this extremely real feeling was simulated by the game.

However, these are put aside for now, after completing this task, Lu Xiaoyun obtained two skills, although these two skills are a bit frustrated, especially the first skill, [God's Gaze], did not add any attributes.

However, he finally completed the trial task of the temple, although there were too many twists and turns, and it took Lu Xiaoyun a lot of time, but since he joined the temple, it was all worth it.
