Chapter 9: The First Battle
The stick dog was just a small episode, harmless, and it did not affect Xiao An's appreciation of Luoxia Village full of peach blossoms in the slightest.
Luoxia Village is a village surrounded by a fence, with peach blossoms everywhere outside the village, and the village is peaceful and peaceful.
Two heavily armed guards with shiny broadswords stood in front of the entrance of the village, unsmiling, even if a beautiful woman like Lin Xiaoyue greeted them, they were not moved.
It seems that soldiers from a higher level have been sent down to protect the village.
"Let's go, let's go directly to the village chief." Han Jingyi was very direct, pulling Xiao An to continue forward, "Xiaoyue inadvertently triggered a task, but she couldn't take it. ”
"The old man was very weird, he originally told me that this task should be done by two people, I took my cousin to him, and he said that it was not safe for two girls to go, and asked me to find a man to go with me." Lin Xiaoyue gritted her teeth and took over hatefully.
"And that kind of thing?" Xiao An was also surprised when he heard this.
"Old man, what do you say that beautiful women can't take risks, they have to be accompanied by warriors, I think they are just looking for trouble."
Interesting, interesting, Xiao An listened to Lin Xiaoyue's complaints, and laughed dumbly, this has to be seen.
Although this village is not large, it is small and has a lot of clothing, grocery stores, bookstores, pubs, etc.
"Oh, two girls, old man, I've been thinking for a long time, I'll give you this book for 50 rupees, and make a friend."
Passing by a huge ancient tree, an old man with white hair suddenly walked out from under the tree, shouting at Xiao An and the others.
Looking at the past, the old man was not a kind elder, but a bit of a roe deer.
"Don't, don't."
Lin Xiaoyue gave him a blank look, and pulled Han Jingyi to the other side of the road.
"Alas! Don't go, 40 rupees, no less, old man, I'm a heirloom..."
The old man's voice became farther and farther away, Xiao An didn't know what was going on, and he was a little confused. I could only smile apologetically and leave with them.
"The old man claimed to be the father of the previous bookstore owner, and he met him two days ago, and he insisted on recommending us a secret book for 100 rupees, and Xiaoyue and I had so much money, so we said that we wanted 50 rupees, but he refused to sell anything." Han Jingyi explained.
"Aren't you selling it now, why don't you want it?"
Lin Xiaoyue sneered: "What kind of heirloom secret book, how can there be such a thing, it must be a liar, you have to pay attention, it is difficult to distinguish between NPCs and players in this game, not to mention that NPCs also cheat people, and it doesn't matter if you are cheated of money." ”
Can NPCs still deceive people? Xiao An was stunned and nodded.
Not far from the ancient trees, a small lake appeared, and the village chief of Luoxia Village lived here.
The village chief is kind and kind-eyed, but it is completely different from the bookstore owner just now.
"Ho, is this the warrior you chose?"
Han Jingyi greeted politely and nodded yes.
"Ho, in this way, the task can be entrusted to you with confidence, but the place you are going to is very dangerous, as the village chief, you can't let the warriors of the village die in vain." The village chief stroked his beard and said, "And this task is very important, well~ In this case, you first go to the coastal woods on the east side of the village and get rid of the leader of the stick dogs, the knife dog, who is entrenched there." ”
"That's not what you said yesterday, old man!" Lin Xiaoyue listened to the resentment in her heart and asked dissatisfiedly.
"Ho, little girl, don't worry, it's about the safety of several warriors, the old man has to be cautious, so if you can successfully prove your strength, the old man will give you three weapons collected in the village, what do you think?"
"Weapons?" Lin Xiaoyue's eyes lit up and asked, "How much is it worth?" ”
The idea of the daughter of this business family is different from that of us poor people, Xiao An glanced at her, it seems that there is a reason why rich people are rich.
"Ho, I don't know much about this old man, but I'm sure it will help you a lot to complete your next tasks." The village chief smiled bitterly, shook his head and waved his hand.
Seeing that Xiao An didn't say anything, Han Jingyi agreed to come down, and the village chief obviously had no intention of keeping them for dinner, so the group said goodbye directly.
Along the way, Xiao An saw the two of them with calm faces, and couldn't help asking, "What's the matter, didn't you say that it wasn't difficult to defeat the sword dog?" ”
Lin Xiaoyue snorted lightly and said dissatisfiedly: "That's an ordinary sword dog, the one the old man said is different from the others." ”
"I've heard the villagers say that the knife dog is an undead creature, day and night, no one has ever rushed to provoke it, it's not so easy to deal with!"
Undead creatures... It doesn't sound like a good idea. Xiao An was also speechless at the unreliable old man, but things were man-made, although things were tricky, but they still needed to find a way.
"So what now?" Although he wanted to find a way, Xiao Anke's eyes were black, and he couldn't express any opinions at all.
Han Jingyi took out the soul card and looked at the time, thought for a while, and said: "It's not too early, so let's wait for it to get dark, let's go directly to the coastal woods and understand the situation, after all, we are just hearsay, and I haven't seen the skeleton knife dog and Xiaoyue either." ”
"Okay, it's up to you." Xiao An also looked at the time, and asked with some doubts: "It's only three o'clock, it's still early before dark, what are you going to do now?" ”
"Not early, not early." Lin Xiaoyue interjected: "There are only six hours in a day in the Void Realm, and there are only three hours in the day, which means that it will be dark in about forty-five minutes. ”
So, no wonder, I said that when I came out of the shrine, it was like noon! Xiao An touched his chin.
"That's okay, sister, how about taking a cheap brother-in-law to find a stick dog to practice?" Lin Xiaoyue blinked slyly, patted Xiao An's shoulder, crossed her waist with one hand, and said: "Cheap brother-in-law, protect my beautiful sister, the responsibility of maintaining world peace will be handed over to you, you have to improve yourself quickly, don't live up to the people's trust in you!" ”
Xiao An was speechless for a while, and when she saw Han Jingyi covering her mouth and smiling and didn't answer, she had to nod helplessly and said yes again and again.
The area of Luoxia Island is actually very large, and low-level monsters like stick dogs can be found everywhere, but they are also very easy to find.
The group left the village, and after a while, they saw a stick dog dragging a big stick of mahogany wood, dangling in the depths of the woods.
After the teaching of the two female masters, Xiao An did not stupidly take out the soul card and then take out the weapon.
With a silent thought in his heart, he swaggered over with a big stick.
This fool, don't use this thing to give him a traveler's sword, Lin Xiaoyue reminded him loudly, but Xiao An walked straight to the stick dog as if he hadn't heard it, and was stunned in a daze...
At least in Lin Xiaoyue's eyes.
Han Jingyi is not worried at all, it is just a stick dog, and if it is hit, it will only lose a quarter of its heart, it is not a big deal, you can make up for it by eating an apple.
Besides, Xiao An is not the soft persimmon that Lin Xiaoyue imagined.
The introduction of the soul card is not wrong at all, the stick dog is really intellectually low, and it is a three-plate axe in front of him, and he rushed up stunned with a strange roar, and picked up the big stick and greeted him in the face.
In fact, Xiao An's physique has been different from ordinary people since he was a child, almost never getting sick, not to mention, and his physical strength is much beyond ordinary people, coupled with his childhood experience, he has long learned to fight and fight, oh no, it is the ability to protect himself.
Not to mention that in the Void Realm, the physical fitness has reached a higher level, and with Xiao An's self-defense experience, there will be no big problem even if he directly faces the knife dog.
At this time, the big stick was in the head, Xiao An was not in a hurry, and directly dodged with a side jump, and picked up the big stick to counterattack.
He didn't use too much force, someone had already done a test, as long as your weapon rubbed against the monster, the monster would lose blood, and the amount of blood dropped was only related to the panel of the weapon.
In other words, this two-attack peachwood stick, no matter where you hit, no matter how hard you try, in short, it will drop two points of blood.
But this is not to say that it is useless to slash hard, for example, now, if you attack the lower limbs of the stick dog with a peachwood stick, then as long as you use enough strength, you can knock the stick dog to the ground, but if you just tap it lightly, then there will be no knockdown effect.
Xiao An is not very clear about this.
Let's talk about Xiao An here, from the moment the stick dog noticed him, Xiao An found that the virtual attribute interface automatically jumped out, needless to say, it should be like this after entering the battle.
As for such a horizontal jump, Xiao An found that the endurance gauge had decreased somewhat, but not much, and it was estimated that even if the stamina gauge would not automatically recover, there would be no problem with jumping eight or nine times.
This stick dog is very stupid, not to mention Xiao An, even if it doesn't pose a threat to Han Jingyi, Xiao An slashed back and forth seventeen or eighteen times, and he was a little impatient. Just as he was about to change to the Traveler's Sword to quickly end the battle, several large characters suddenly appeared in front of him.
"The mahogany stick is nearly broken"
Xiao An's eyes lit up, so he just wanted to see what kind of damage method the weapon was.
Another dodge dodged the attack of the stick dog, Xiao An seized the opportunity of the stick dog to retract the peachwood stick, and did not imitate any swordsmanship moves, picking up the stick with the same shape, and knocking on the stick dog's head like a hooligan fight, there was no order at all.
"Reckless!" This cheap brother-in-law just pretended to be presentable, why did he suddenly look like a hooligan, Lin Xiaoyue snorted, stretched out her head mysteriously and said to Han Jingyi: "Sister, you have to be careful, the cheap brother-in-law has never fought less at a glance, pay attention to fire prevention, theft prevention and domestic violence prevention in the future!" ”
"Bang!"
Before Han Jingyi could speak, she saw the peachwood stick in Xiao An's hand suddenly burst open, decomposing into countless white fragments of light, and disappeared.
And the stick dog also fell straight to the ground with this blow, turning into a piece of material to complete its mission.
Xiao An only felt that the last blow was like knocking on the wall, and the tiger's mouth was numb.
Damn, there's no scum left after it's damaged? No wonder the biggest problem in the early stage was the lack of weapons.
However, it seems that a stick just knocked a stupid dog to death, and came to this conclusion, Xiao An kicked the peachwood stick to the side, it seems that this thing is really useless except for a weapon slot.
Xiao An picked up the items on the ground, but this time he didn't find the liver of the stick dog.
