Chapter 41: The Companionship of Wild Beasts

Chen Zhuo came back this time and got a short rest, although it seemed that there were no sequelae, but after all, there were some sundries in his body, and every time he thought about it, Chen Zhuo was also a little afraid. Now Chen Zhuo has a beast retinue and a skill vacancy (the warlock's empty skill bar is directly ignored by Chen Zhuo), so Chen Zhuo runs to Leighton every day. Chen Zhuo also asked Murray if he could learn some skills from Leighton, and Murray replied that as long as Leighton could teach and Chen Zhuo could learn, he could learn it. Chen Zhuo, who received this favor, immediately asked Layton about the hunter's skills, and it turned out that most of Layton's skills were spells that added the combat power of his beast baby, and there were basically no damage-type spells. However, there are also very good skills in it, and although Layton wants to list them, he will leave for Garkison the next day. Every six months, Layton personally introduces a batch of beasts, which are small in quantity but of good quality, and the way to transport them is also extraordinary. There are those who have been cultivated, bought, caught, and even just smuggled from the Eastern Kingdom, so the place of purchase was chosen in a barren desert area like Garkison. Hearing this news, Chen Zhuo was very moved, and he really wanted to follow him to Garkison, because in this way, he could choose a beast baby that was more suitable for him at the first time. Layton hesitated when he heard that Chen Zhuo wanted to go with him, and said, "Chen, you go back and ask Lao Chen, if Lao Chen agrees, I don't have any opinion." Chen Zhuo was very happy to hear Layton say this, and immediately returned to the tavern to look for Murray.

"Boss! Here's the thing, can I go to Gakison? Chen Zhuo looked at Murray with great interest.

Murray didn't reply to Chen Zhuo immediately, took a sip of wine, looked at Chen Zhuo's excited appearance, and said with a smile: "Stinky boy, you really have the demeanor of my past, Gakison is not the kind of peaceful area you went to before, it is located in the desert, and there are many robbers on the edge of the city, hey!" Not to mention the edge of the city, even in the city, there are many robbers like rats. ”

"Uh, isn't there any soldier in Garkison?"

"Yes! It's just that the robbers of Garkison never robbed the locals, robbed most of the outsiders and water. ”

"Water source?"

"That's right! A city erected on the desert, water resources must be the most precious, robbers are crazy when robbing water sources, usually in pipes, water tanks and other equipment to smash a hole, but unfortunately Garkison is a high-tech goblin city, the speed of equipment destruction is not even as fast as the goblins repair, and the city is full of hand-detonated goblin mines, so in Garkison can kill thirty or forty robbers a day. And even if you are more skilled and can escape, as long as you are seen by the goblins of Garkison, you don't want to appear in the public places of Garkison again, this city has a lot of wanted notices like leaflets, some are added every day, and some injuries are reduced every day. ”

"The robber mortality rate is so high, and it is still rampant?"

"High risk, high reward! That's what they're talking about! If you grab a water source in Kakisen, you will basically not have to worry about eating and drinking for three months! ”

When Chen Zhuo heard this, being a robber in Gakison is also a good job, but unfortunately it is easy to be targeted by goblins. "So, boss, can I still go to Gatkison?"

Murray thought for a moment and said, "Go if you want to, but you have to remember three things. ”

"Boss, you say, which three?"

"First, you have to take the rest of Avril's entourage with you this time, including the twilight wolf cub."

"Bonnie is taking it with you, too? Why can't you bring Avril with you? ”

Avril doesn't hide her looks and features, and there are slave owners in Garkison, and the temptation of an elf to them often makes them take risks. I remember that Bonnie seemed to have a dress that covered her face and features, at least she looked like a normal person, and if you encountered a warlock or an abnormality in the assimilated parts of your body, Bonnie could help you sense it in advance. ”

"Oh, okay, I'll tell them later."

"Second, go to Gakison and try to follow Leighton's side, if Leighton is not there, you must not wander outside at night, of course, I will also ask Leighton to take care of you."

"Don't worry, boss, the purpose of my trip this time is to see the beast, not to see the desert."

"Hehe, the third thing I said has something to do with the desert! Remember! Don't go into the desert, even if Layton goes in, don't go in, and come back as soon as you get a beast, don't stay in that place for too long. ”

"Okay boss, wait for me to take it...... Wait, acquisition? ”

"Yes, acquisition, otherwise you think that the beasts are all given away for nothing?"

"The last time I adopted Xiaoxue from the animal pen......"

"Stinky boy, you're embarrassed to say! I gave you 850 gold, you know!? ”

"Boss, thank you so much! My admiration for you is like the surging river, and like the Yellow River flooding! ”

"The Yellow River? What kind of river is that? ”

"Well, it's the sandy river on Dulongtal, I think it's quite yellow, so I call it the Yellow River."

"Stinky boy, how do you usually read books! It's called the Raging River! ”

"Oh, it's still the boss who is well-informed!"

"Okay, stinky boy! What should you do, what are you going to do! ”

Chen Zhuo got Murray's consent and happily walked to the room at the back of the tavern, while Murray frowned, rubbed his temples, and walked out of the tavern.

The next day, Chen Zhuo took Rank, Bonnie, and Xiaoxue to the animal pen, and Layton was ready to wait for them. Seeing that Layton didn't bring a single entourage, Chen Zhuo asked the reason curiously, it turned out that Layton's subordinates had already arrived at Gakison and selected a batch of excellent beasts.

Chen Zhuo didn't say much, and followed Layton to the airship. Since he didn't reach Garkison, Layton didn't know what the quality of these beasts was, but on the airship, Layton listed the skills that could be taught to Chen Zhuo, and patted his chest and promised that after returning to Hearthstone, as long as Layton didn't have a job, he could teach Chen Zhuo to learn skills. Chen Zhuo was very excited when he listened, and listened carefully to the skills introduced by Layton.

As a beastmaster hunter, Layton directly introduced his housekeeping skill - "Beast Company"! This skill allows one of your beasts to gain an increase in ability, and will also add a special ability. There are three types of ability enhancements obtained, +5 health, +1 attack damage, or add 50% of the beast's movement speed and 20% of the re-attack speed, these three abilities can be controlled and added by the brave himself, which is very practical. There are a total of 5 kinds of special abilities, crusty, the damage of the beast is reduced by half, and the damage reduction is ineffective against spells; Bast, the beast is reduced by half when it is attacked by a spell, and the damage reduction is ineffective against physical attacks; Lead Beast, all your Beasts gain +1 Attack and increase Attack Desire; Single taunt (passive), which provokes an enemy, if the enemy ignores the beast and attacks the brave or other followers, the beast will gain the ability to blitz (jumping behind the enemy to deal twice the damage); The Beast's Wisdom grants the Brave an additional combat supply point and allows the Beast to sneak. The 5 special abilities are uncontrollable and appear randomly, with a probability of 40%, 40%, 10%, 7%, and 3% in order.

This is simply god-level! Xiaoxue itself is bloodthirsty, and it can be said that she can enter a crazy state with the company of wild beasts! Three abilities can be added controllably, which can completely affect the situation on the battlefield! And there are taunts in the five specials! There is also the rare ability to add combat supply points, although this ability is now a chicken rib for Chen Zhuo, but as Chen Zhuo grows, one more combat supply point represents more combat effectiveness for a period of time, Chen Zhuo simply doesn't want to listen to the skills behind him and directly talk to Leighton about this! But Leighton obviously overestimated Chen Zhuo's strength, this skill requires 3 magic crystals, and can only be learned at the third-order level, when Leighton heard that Chen Zhuo only has the strength of the second-order level, he was very surprised, and thought for a long time before saying: "Old Chen too, let me teach you skills if you don't tell you your strength, okay, I'll tell you about the 1st-order and second-order spells." ”

Hunter's Mark, 1 mana, marks an enemy, and increases the Hero's Attack by 1 and increases movement speed by 20% when facing the marked enemy.

Flares, 1 mana, requires a flare gun. Instills special mana into the bullets of the flare gun, fires them into the air to illuminate the surrounding area for 15 meters (the specific distance depends on the mass of the flare gun and the mass of its own mana), all invisible units in the range are active (regardless of friend or foe), and the illuminated enemy takes +1 damage from the brave for one minute.

Dreadbeasts, 1 mana, deals 2 damage to all non-self beasts within 3 meters of you, and causes them to receive Dread for 1 second.

Potential stimulation, 2 mana, to make one of your own beasts stimulate a potential of its own, for 1 minute. For example, a bear has the potential to hit hard, and has a high chance of stunning enemies with a single claw.

In general, the attraction of these skills to Chen Zhuo is far less than that of beast companionship, and Chen Zhuo even plans to keep a skill bar when he reaches the third-order intermediate level to prevent the embarrassing thing from happening if he does not comprehend the new skill bar to learn the beast companionship when he reaches the advanced level.

Chen Zhuo was still thinking about the airship and landed at its destination, when Chen Zhuo came out, he found that this place was not a desert at all, and when he asked Layton, he knew that the airship could not fly directly to Gakisen, and he needed to transfer to a carriage here in the Thousand Needles Stone Forest.
