Volume 2 The Tomb of the Emperor Through the Ages Chapter 49 Return to the Imperial Capital

It wasn't a big problem for one or two ant queen guards with this attribute to explode, but seeing the dense ant queen guards in the valley, Lu Xiaoyun had an urge to hit the wall.

Although this is a treasure land for leveling, the level of ants is too high, and it is not something that current players can deal with at all.

After carefully observing for a while, and confirming that Lu Xiaoyun, who really didn't have any chance, was ready to withdraw first.

After all, tonight, they were still preparing to leave this outrageous, foul-smelling forest for unknown reasons, and go to camp on the outskirts of the forest.

"Roar~~!"

Suddenly, from the depths of the valley came a terrible cry like that of a wild bull.

The sound source can be heard in the depths of the valley.

Lu Xiaoyun and others were stunned~! I looked at the valley in front of me in some surprise. Although there was a commotion at the entrance of the valley, the ant queen guard quickly regained its calm and did not pay attention to what was happening in the valley.

There seemed to be a situation in this valley, but Lu Xiaoyun and his party were not in a hurry to leave, they were lying in the forest outside the valley, wanting to see if there was anything cheap to pick up.

The night is deep~! During the time of waiting, the valley still heard the terrible cry of a wild bull from time to time.

Not long ago, however, after a terrible cry had ended, silence had returned to the valley, and no sound had been heard for a while.

For unknown reasons, the ant queens in the valley could no longer maintain the discipline of soldiers, and one by one they were scurrying around as if they were on a hot pot.

The ants, who had been guarding the entrance of the valley like guards, also became a pot of porridge, and some began to run into the valley.

A figure rushed out of the depths of the valley like the wind, and on top of him, another figure was carrying.

Xiao Lotian was sharp-eyed and found the guy who was carrying on his back, John who came over during the day to help them.

"Here~!"

This guy above level 78, who can already be regarded as a master among the aborigines, seems to have suffered a lot of injuries. In the previous battle with [Ling Xiao Pavilion], the other party suddenly got a kick.

Although until now, I don't know what the other party's purpose is, but the other party did really help them, but in line with the principle of repaying kindness, Lu Xiaoyun reached out to help.

The man carrying John on his back heard Lu Xiaoyun's voice and hurriedly ran over. Although there were some ants chasing, fortunately, there was no big problem, and Lu Xiaoyun and his party ran out all the way until the stench disappeared, and then stopped.

"Thank you warriors for your help~!"

The man carrying John on his back is much more ordinary than John, and his strength is not as good as John, because in Lu Xiaoyun's system, this guy shows a gray skull, that is, below level 78.

"You're welcome~! Yesterday this master also saved us, we are very grateful to him~! Lu Xiaoyun waved his hand.

Gifts are still exchanged~!

When the man on the opposite side heard Lu Xiaoyun's words, he put John down under the tree with confidence, took out a bottle of potion from the package, and fed him.

"Shangguan, help him~!"

Shangguan was stunned for a moment, a little puzzled, when John appeared, she had already fallen to the ground and ran away.

However, a healing technique was just a gesture, and it added some blood to the sleeping man.

Although he did not wake up from his coma, John's expression was much soothed.

The man breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you, I'm Bob, his name is John~!" This time, we took over the mission of the [Hunter Hall] to get rid of the ant queen in the forest. Originally, there was no problem, but this guy was injured a lot in order to protect me. ”

The names of these two men are simple.

But since the other party has already introduced himself, he has to respond.

"We are all adventurers from another world, I am Lu Xiaoyun, this is our president Hou Xuetong, and this is our vice president Bowen ......."

introduced them one by one, but saw Bob's expression lit up, and said with a smile: "It's a blessing that you have members of the [Hunter Hall]." ”

As soon as Bob's words fell, Lu Xiaoyun also discovered that he did have the symbol of the Hunter Hall on his body.

Lu Xiaoyun and his party, Lu Xiaoyun is the temple camp, the president and Shangguan are the imperial royal camp, the green hair and Lotte are the hunter hall camp, Brother Lou is the [Archer Guild] camp, and Lin Shu is the [Thieves Guild] camp.

The ingredients are very complex.

The disadvantage of this is that many tasks cannot be completed together, for example, on Lu Xiaoyun's side, many of the temple's tasks are not open to the public.

The upside is that NPCs can speak almost no matter which faction they're facing.

However, speaking of which, Lu Xiaoyun and his party do have a lot to do with the Hunter Hall, after all, they are still renting the Hunter Hut.

That's easy, the core members of the Hunter Hall are basically serious people.

Lu Xiaoyun asked, "Do you need us to send you back to the Imperial Capital [Hunter Hall]?" ”

Bob shook his head and said, "It's already late at night~!" Hurry up and rest~! Tomorrow morning, this guy should be able to wake up~! When the time comes, we'll just go back on our own. ”

That's not necessary~, Lu Xiaoyun didn't be polite anymore.

Lu Xiaoyun exchanged opinions with everyone~! Everyone else went to sleep~~! He kept vigil in the first half of the night today, and Brother Lou kept vigil in the second half of the night.

The bonfire burns gently~! There was no place for the two guys in the tent, but Bob didn't seem to care.

Lu Xiaoyun sat next to him, and he didn't know how to speak for a while.

The atmosphere was a little dreary.

After a while, Bob on the side smiled and said, "I'm going to rest~!" I'm sorry for your vigil. ”

Lu Xiaoyun nodded and didn't say anything. He actually had a lot of questions he wanted to ask, but he didn't know how to say them. He now wants to know more about the world.

However, it is better to understand it yourself, so forget it.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, after John woke up, the two thanked Lu Xiaoyun and the others together, and then began to return to the imperial capital.

In fact, Lu Xiaoyun felt that he and the others didn't help much~!

After all, the queen ant is dead, and Bob is also very strong, and the remaining ants are not a threat to them.

After stuffing a mouthful of [Special Compressed Military Ration] into his mouth, and then drinking a sip of water, Lu Xiaoyun and his party embarked on a journey to conquer ants again.

Speaking of which, after being in this world for so long, from Level 1 to the present, [Special Compressed Military Ration] has always been Lu Xiaoyun's most important food. You only need to eat a small piece to solve the problem of eating for the day.

It's very convenient.

The only problem is that there is no smell.

Of course, Lu Xiaoyun felt that his stomach was probably going to break if he had been eating this kind of thing.

But the pace of the game world is very intense, it's okay in the town, there is simply no time to look for food everywhere in the wild.

didn't go far, they arrived at the stinking forest again, and Lu Xiaoyun and the others started the great cause of slaughtering ants again.

In the vast forest, time flies. Those [Ant Queen Guards] are not something that Lu Xiaoyun and the others can touch now, and all their time is spent on killing big-headed ants.

The backpack has long been full~! For a while, they could only pile the ant carapace in the forest, but fortunately, Lin Shu made a trip back to the imperial capital and bought several large-capacity backpacks to receive all the ant carapaces in the backpack.

After spending another three days and nights in the forest, the golden light flashed, and after the president, Lu Xiaoyun also reached level 40.

Level 40 is a watershed between players, or rather, between class classes in this world.

Before level 40, it is a beginner professional (before level 20, it is a trainee professional, and it is also included in the scope of beginner occupations.) After level 40, it is a mid-level professional.

The biggest difference between the two levels is that after level 40, each class acquires special skills.

For example, if Lu Xiaoyun is a tank, he will learn tank characteristics and skills, and gain a large amount of health and double resistance.

If the leader is an archer, he will learn the Agility perk Energy Saving, which grants a large amount of Agility and ranged attack strength.

And after Lu Xiaoyun reached level 40, at the suggestion of Shangguan, who had long been unable to stand this forest, the group finally left this ocean of experience, went out, and handed in the task.

After all, Sister Tong and Lu Xiaoyun couldn't wait to go to their camp to learn specialized skills.

After walking out of the forest, Lu Xiaoyun and his party first went to the garrison officer to hand in the task, and the task reward for 100 ant carapaces was 20 gold coins and a medal of honor.

This quest is a repeatable quest, which means that collecting 100 Ant Shells can be exchanged for an unlimited number of rewards.

Lu Xiaoyun and his party discussed it, and they all agreed that the mission rewards in the Imperial Capital [Hunter Hall] might be better.

The wagon was retrieved from the garrison, and the unicorn was still in good spirits, and did not seem to be hungry.

Shangguan walked over and touched the horse's head.

The unicorn had an expression that was about to spit out.

Looking at Shangguan, who was speechless, everyone around laughed. After spending a long time in the forest, their sense of smell has basically failed.

Of course, there was no place to take a bath in the vicinity, so the group got into a carriage and began to return to the imperial capital.

After the carriage was injured, opened the leaderboard, and found that his ranking was still 999, Lu Xiaoyun couldn't help but feel angry.

However, he found that Sister Tong, who was ranked 946th in the rankings, was not much lower than Sister Tong, and it seemed that he was only a millimeter away from the rankings.

The level of competition in the rankings was fierce beyond his imagination, and there was such a small level gap between him and Sister Tong, there were more than 50 people between them.

What's also interesting is that their guild [Far Traveler's Camp] has finally been upgraded from the initial [Bronze First Order] to the [Bronze Second Order].

The upgrade is very slow, but there is nothing to be done about it, after all, the upper limit of the members of the Bronze First-Order Guild is 30 people, and they have always only had these few people, so it is already good to be able to upgrade.

The carriage stopped and went, and the group finally returned to the imperial capital.

After three days of rolling in the stench forest, all seven of them were transformed into terrifying bioweapons.

Lu Xiaoyun probably won't forget it for a long time, when he walked into the inn, the innkeeper's frightened and suffocating eyes and somewhat green face.

But there was no way to do it, so I went back to my room and took a hot shower, washed my equipment well, and finally refreshed myself.

Lu Xiaoyun's sense of smell is not very sensitive, and it is estimated that he will not recover for a while.

Since I returned to the hotel, I made an exception today and did not eat any more compressed food without any taste, but ordered a table of dishes slowly.

Roast chicken, bear's paws, pork head and large bones.

With meat and vegetables, Lu Xiaoyun also ordered a little bit of vegetables and began to eat a lot.

The price of this table of dishes is less than 10 silver coins, and the daily prices in this world are so cheap. All the while, he fed on compressed food, not because he couldn't afford it, but because he was wasting his time.

Compressed food can fill your stomach in a few seconds, while eating in a restaurant takes at least half an hour.

This does not include the time spent commuting to and from restaurants.
