Chapter 2: Someone from the Outside
After completing the production of his natal magic weapon, Shui Zhongyu was not in a hurry to return to the tribe, anyway, he had already handed in his application to participate in the nest splitting task, and he still had a share in this mission with his strength.
In order to improve his strength before the start of the nest splitting task, Shui Yu also needs to equip himself with a set of weapons that fit, and it just so happens that he has a good reward for a task at hand, so Shui Yu plans to take the opportunity to test the natal magic weapon to complete this task.
But when the rain in the water had only hit three of the five four-toothed sword blades needed for this hunting mission, he saw a dark sky in the sky, and when the rain in the water looked up, he saw that the bird-shaped witch who was supposed to be guarding the tribe today was flying towards him.
The bird-shaped witch with blue scales all over his body flew and shouted loudly, "It's raining in the water, a foreign witch has come to you, go back and have a look." ”
"Alien witches?" The rain in the water was also stunned, although there were three others in the same organization who also joined the digital flood to play together, but two of those three chose the demon clan, and one chose the Houtu series, and now it is in the middle of the flood wilderness, and it will take at least more than a year to get here.
So who could be this sorcerer who could get here in such a short time? Shui Zhongyu carried the four-toothed sword tiger he had just killed on his back, followed the bird-shaped witch who had come over to inform him, and strode towards the tribe.
After Shui Zhongyu saw the half-human tiger witch player called Sanchi, everything was understood, this Sanchi can be said to be a lone master who runs rampant in various games, formerly known as Dong Feihan, with the title of task maniac.
And his three-foot name is also derived from a sentence he often says, 'Freezing three feet is not a day's cold, the task is smooth, not the work of one person'.
It can also be seen that this guy's biggest hobby is to organize a group of trusted players to solve puzzles in the game and complete all kinds of difficult tasks.
Then the reason for finding himself is about to come out, and the rain in the water said to Sanchi, "Who introduced you here, I only have the level of one heaven now, and I may not be able to help you with difficult tasks." ”
"I only have one heaven, but what does it matter, anyway, this mission is a super large mission, and we can complete the task at the same time and rise to the level of at least ten heavens." Sanchi said nonchalantly, "It doesn't matter if you don't reach this level, I came to you because I heard about your analytical and calculating skills." ”
"If you had been a day earlier, this time I didn't choose a spell class like before, and you also saw what I was holding in my hand, I might take the battle-type route in the future." Shui Yu waved the thick totem pole in his hand.
"What does it matter, I studied some of the situations of the digital wilderness before starting the game, and the difference between the combat type and the spell type here is not too open, plus what I need is your analysis and calculation ability, I don't take your combat power too seriously, after all, I heard that every time you fight, it takes longer than the battle to think about everything." Sanchi smiled and looked at the rain in the water.
Being said by Sanchi, Shui Zhongyu was also a little embarrassed, he blushed and smiled, "That's because I used to play a lot of war chess games, so I'm used to calculating to play games." ”
"Actually, you don't need to be embarrassed, I've also heard of your record, except that you are not impulsive enough, you can be said to be a pretty good player." Sanchi smiled and patted Shui Zhongyu's shoulder and said, "After all, your task completion rate is as high as 97%, and it was completed at the lowest cost, which I appreciate very much." ”
"I've also heard about you, you are a player that our organization admires a lot, especially a few large tasks you organized, but a few of our little people were surprised, but one thing I'm curious about, why do you only choose eight to ten players to complete it together, no matter how big the task is?"
"Because this is the best number of people, and such a number can allow all players to grind into a strong team in a short period of time."
"And I'm the first player you've ever been able to find?" Although he didn't want to ask this question, Shui Zhongyu couldn't help but be curious.
"The fourth player I contacted."
"Then where do we gather, and the question of the time of the gathering, you also know that our tribe ...... this time"
"Splitting the nest, isn't it? If it were me, I wouldn't have missed such a good opportunity, so help me ask if you can add me to participate. Sanchi said with a smile.
"Haven't you found enough partners yet?" Shui Zhongyu asked puzzled.
"It's not that they haven't arrived yet, but they haven't arrived at the place I designated yet, you help me calculate the time, our final meeting location should be in a tribe near Qingyang Mountain, if we can get there in three months, then I will stay and mix with you this time for the nest splitting task."
"Three months? I think it's a bit difficult. Hearing Sanchi's request, Shui Zhongyu seriously considered it for half an hour before saying, "You must know that the task of dividing the nest is not a small task, it will take at least one and a half months to complete, so that we only have one and a half months to hurry, I am afraid that the time will not be in a hurry." ”
"If that's the case, it's a pity, and I'm going to take this opportunity to participate in the nest splitting mission." Sanchi shook his head and said.
"Actually, we can also get involved." Shui Zhongyu hesitated for a moment and then said, "I heard that the nest splitting task is a large team task led by a six-fold heaven master, if we can occupy an important position in this team, we should be able to indirectly speed up the completion of the nest splitting task." ”
"In that case, I think we need to calculate it, so you go and ask about the whole itinerary of this nest splitting mission, and I'll contact my friends nearby to see if anyone can come over and help us." After listening to the words of the rain in the water, Sanchi immediately showed the bearing of a commander.
As soon as Shui Zhongyu heard this, he also understood Sanchi's plan, so he ran to the interior of the tribe with a smile and went to find some insiders to ask about the situation.
Soon Shui Zhongyu got what he wanted, and this task of splitting the nest was actually completed in three steps, and the first step was to run back to the main city of the department to get the approval of the co-workers.
The second step is to kill the selected place, generally speaking, there are often some demon tribes' lair, after killing all the demon tribes there, build a new tribe in the same place, and the third step is to stop a siege of the demon clan.
In fact, these three steps are very simple, it doesn't take much time at all, most of the time is wasted on the road, after all, the map of the flood wilderness is too big, so big that even if it is an emperor river with 240,000 miles and has mastered the power of space, it will take a full twenty years to fly from one end of the flood to the other.
After telling the news he had heard, Shui Zhongyu said with certainty, "If your friends also want to join this nest splitting mission, then in Hongze City, the main city of Yunmengze's Gonggong Department, this is their last chance to join." ”
After listening to the information inquired by Shui Zhongyu, Sanchi laughed happily, "I really didn't see the wrong person, with you joining, the strength of my team has increased greatly." ”
Shui Zhongyu smiled and didn't say anything, just watched Sanchi run to the middle of his tribe to intercede with the patriarchs, hoping to join this nest splitting task.
After receiving the task, Sanchi went directly off the line, but Shui Zhongyu took this opportunity to run outside the tribe to complete the few hunting tasks left in his hands.
When Shui Zhongyu came back with two four-toothed sword blade tigers, Sanchi had already re-launched, and he said excitedly to Shui Zhongyu, "I have contacted a good manpower to let him wait in Hongze City, and even the members of our later tasks, I will contact them when I have time to go offline, I promise that after we complete the task of dividing the nest, they will meet us at the location I designated." ”
"You don't need to promise me anything about that." Shui Zhongyu lifted the corpses of the two four-toothed sword-bladed tigers together with the corpses of the three-headed four-toothed sword-bladed tigers that had been placed in his tent before, and walked directly out.
He said as he walked, "By the way, you have reached the level of a heavy heaven so quickly, and you have come here, you must not have prepared your natal magic weapon and suitable equipment, although our tribe is not the kind of large tribe guarded by famous witches, but it is also a medium-sized tribe, there are some good equipment tasks in it, before the start of the nest task, you can pick up a little." ”
"No need, most of your tribe is a task of the water system like yours, even if it is the mission of other ancestral witches, there are very few tasks, I don't have time to find them one by one, besides, I already have my own natal magic weapon, and I have enough weapons and equipment in my hands."
Looking at the water rain's somewhat puzzled eyes, Sanchi explained again, "These are all small things I caught on the way here. ”
As soon as this sentence was spoken, the rain in the water also understood a little, he knew that the monsters above one heavy heaven had a certain chance of falling off the preparation, and when he killed the iron-backed six-legged crocodile, he was just unlucky and didn't get anything good, otherwise the crocodile tail whip dropped by the iron-backed crocodile was a more famous thing in Yunmengze.
Although he didn't know what Sanchi had in his hands, looking at Sanchi's smug appearance, Shui Zhongyu knew that Sanchi's game master was much more material than a person like himself who could only fight for half a day, so he didn't ask questions, but transported the corpses of these five four-toothed sword blade tigers to the place where he took the task before.
When the rain in the water came back, he had changed, and at this time his body was no longer a shabby leather suit for novices in the game, a thick tiger skin suit wrapped his body tightly, although I don't know how much defense power it can have, but it seems to make the rain in the water look particularly spiritual.
And there was a huge tiger skin pocket hanging around his waist, which seemed to be enough to hold many necessary tools for long journeys, in addition to the corpses of large monsters.
In addition, there are two bone long swords with a length of one meter and a half hanging on the left waist of the rain in the water, and there are carvings and quaint patterns of four-toothed sword blades on the handle of the long sword.
The reason why there are only two swords is not because Shui Yu has given up the attack method of the Four Sword Streams, but completely because Shui Yu now only has the strength of one heavy heaven, and he needs to free up one of his subordinates to control his totem pole and natal magic weapon.
Seeing that the rain in the water had changed, Sanchi was also more excited, he circled around the rain in the water and said, "I always feel like something is missing, you put this on and take a look." ”
As he spoke, he handed Shui Zhongyu a black leather hat, Shui Zhongyu took a look at it, and couldn't help but say, "The bearskin hat of short-distance calling, defense +30, has the ability to chat privately with the owner of the same hat within 30 kilometers." It's all mess, I'm not saying this thing is useless, but don't you have a better looking hat? ”
"Of course I have, but I don't have any shellfish." Sanchi raised his head and said, "Do you know how many shellfish coins this set of ten bearskin hats cost me?" Three hundred shell coins, a full three hundred shell coins. ”
Hearing the word shell coin, the rain in the water had nothing to say, he could only shake his head and persuade that the early investment of three feet is equal to the harvest in the later stage, don't take it to heart for the sake of these small money.
But in fact, Shui Zhongyu is thinking about the situation of Sanchi's mission in his heart, you must know that Shui Zhongyu's investment in playing games every month, plus the money earned in the game, is only about 300 shells when converted into a common currency in the digital flood.
This time, Sanchi spent 300 shells to buy these ten bearskin hats for communication, although there are reasons such as scarcity and expensive, it can also be seen how much Sanchi has invested in this plan.
With such a big investment, if it weren't for the amazing rewards for the tasks to be done later, I wouldn't have believed it if I killed the rain in the water.
For this reason, Shui Zhongyu began to worry that if he was not in a hurry, he would not be forcibly dragged to complete the task of Sanchi, or Sanchi would directly throw Shui Zhongyu aside, and ignore Shui Zhongyu and find someone else.
Under the emotion of gain and loss in the rain in the water, he didn't even notice that Sanchi had gone far, and when he reacted, he couldn't find Sanchi's whereabouts.
At this time, Shui Zhongyu had to put on this bearskin hat that looked really ugly, and began to ask about Sanchi's current location.
By the time Shui Yu found Sanchi again, Sanchi was already familiar with the patriarch of the Shui Yu tribe, and he even got a branch mission that could speed up the process of the nest splitting task.
In this regard, Shui Zhongyu had to admire Sanchi's ability, you must know that it took more than a day for Shui Zhongyu to get acquainted with this patriarch who had reached the level of the Eleventh Heaven.
And beside Sanchi, Shui Zhongyu actually saw a few players who played well with him, but in Shui Zhongyu's memory, these people didn't seem to have passed the assessment of the coming-of-age ceremony.
Seeing the puzzled look of the rain in the water, Sanchi said with a smile, "I have already said, my biggest ability is organizational ability, this time we don't have more partners, these players seem to be the best among the newcomers of the tribe, I just promised them, if they are willing to be our subordinates in the task of dividing the nest, I will help them complete the assessment task of the coming-of-age ceremony." ”
"But the coming-of-age ceremony assessment is more difficult, and now there are still three days before the start of the nest, and we can't help them complete them one by one......"
"It's not three days, it's one day, and the patriarch has promised me just now that as long as enough food and sacrifices are collected, the nest can start in one day in advance." Three feet interrupted the words of rain in the water.
"It seems unlikely, neither of these things can be done in a day." Shui Zhongyu was a little helpless, he thought to himself that this three feet would not make all the tasks so difficult, but if these two tasks were done, the task of splitting the nest this time would really become easier.
"I figured it out, the difficulties now are all for the sake of making things easier in the future, otherwise I wouldn't have participated in this nest separation mission with you." Sanchi patted the shoulder of the rain in the water and said.
Shui Yu nodded in understanding, but he was thinking about how he would complete these two almost impossible tasks if it were him.
For the collection of food and sacrifices, it is relatively simple, there is enough food outside the tribe, as for the sacrifices, it is like the demon clan often uses witches above the heavy sky, and the sacrifices of the witch clan often use demons above the heavy heaven.
The more famous one in this vicinity seems to be a double heaven scale snake fish, and this scale snake fish seems to have two or three masters of the first heaven and a group of monsters that have not reached the level of the heavy heaven.
If you count all of these, the double heaven is used as a sacrifice, the first heaven is used to complete the coming-of-age ceremony of several witch players, plus the food that has not reached the level of the heavy heaven, all this seems to be complete.
Seeing that the eyes of the rain in the water were getting brighter and brighter, Sanchi naturally knew that the rain in the water had also figured everything out, and he said with a smile, "With the strength of the two of us, if we cooperate, we can kill that double heaven, as for those one heavy heavens, we can completely beat them to serious injuries first, and then let these players deal with them." ”
"I'm fine, but I'm afraid that the quantity and quality of the sacrifices may be insufficient." The rain in the water did not oppose the opinion of the three feet.
"Actually, I've also thought about this, if it weren't for the lack of time, there would be a four-heaven swamp scorpion moving alone in a day's journey from here." Sanchi thought for a moment and said.
"Actually, we don't have to think about the sacrifice at all." Shui Zhongyu hesitated for a moment and said, "The sacrifice of the nest division task has high quality requirements, at least the demon clan above the five heavens, I think the patriarch is willing to promise you that as long as we find all the sacrifices in one day, we can set off, that is to let us find enough food, so we should focus on this." ”
"There is some truth in what you say, but we can't just let go of that double heaven scaly snake fish, I think high-grade things will always have some use." Sanchi said with a smile.
In the laughter with the words of the three feet, the itinerary after a day of rain in the water was so decided, of course, there was naturally nothing to do with those players, they just had to obey the arrangement of the three feet.
Shui Yu has already discussed with Sanchi, how to mobilize these players to do things, that is a matter of Sanchi, Shui Yu only needs to think clearly about how to complete this almost impossible task.
After nearly three hours of consideration and calculation, Shui Yu finally thought through the whole plan before everyone reached the small lake where the scaly snake fish was hiding.
Standing on the edge of the small lake, Shui Zhongyu told the whole plan, and after listening to his plan, Sanchi didn't say anything, just gently patted Shui Zhongyu's shoulder and started to act according to Shui Zhongyu's request.
The plan of the rain in the water is to lure out one of the three one-heaven monsters under the scaly snake fish first, and then these players will kill the one-heavy heaven demon clan first, and then use the blood of this demon clan to attract the monsters who have not reached the level of the heavy heaven.
Of course, this plan is good, but it is a bit troublesome to want to do this, and it is a trouble to first lead out the Youkai of Ichigema alone.
Shui Zhongyu himself has passed the coming-of-age assessment, he knows that some demon clans like to put on a shelf and take a large group of monsters that have not reached the level of Chongtian to spin around, and it is precisely because of this that Shui Zhongyu had to give up some 11 and 12 level monsters, and ran a long way to kill the iron-backed six-legged crocodile who was used to acting alone.
Now that Shui Zhongyu has so many helpers, he can naturally separate this guy who has reached the level of a heavy heaven from those little monsters around him.
Under the arrangement of Three Feet, the three players who came with him hid near the small lake, and Three Feet himself took out a turtle shell-like thing from the bag on his back, and nodded to the rain in the water.
The rain in the water quickly raised a left hand, and the natal magic weapon wrapped around the hand, the snake of the water eye, quickly slid into the small lake, and after a while, they saw that the water of the small lake was quickly shallow.
Then a fish-headed monster with purple scales and a wooden spear rushed out with more than thirty small fish-shaped monsters that looked similar.
As soon as this monster appeared, a data was automatically born in the heart of the rain and three feet in the water, purple twist essence, level 17, the number one general under the scaly snake fish, used to using bone spur swords, but he likes to deceive people with wooden spears.
Glancing at this purple twist essence, Shui Liyu said lightly, "Sanchi, if your information is correct, then we can start acting." ”
After saying that, Shui Zhongyu thrust the totem pole in his hand to the ground, and pulled out two tiger tooth swords with both right hands at the same time, and directly pounced on a little monster who followed behind the purple twist spirit.
Sanchi also smiled heartily, stood directly in the distance, took his totem staff, and chanted a spell at the tortoise shell, but the three Wu players who had not completed the coming-of-age ceremony pounced on the purple twist essence with their respective weapons.
Although the purple twist spirit is a wild monster, after all, it has passed the level of the first heaven, and it has some intelligence, and he has already seen that these players want to drag themselves down, so that the two players who have reached the level of the first heaven will kill their subordinates first.
In his opinion, the two one-heaven witches have just reached the level of the heavy heaven, and he can suppress the two of them alone, and although his subordinates have not reached the level of the heavy heaven, they are mostly level 8 or 9 demon clans, so it is very easy for them to deal with the three witches who have not reached the level of the heavy heaven.
As long as he kills those three who have not reached the level of Chongtian first, it will be very easy for him to kill these witches at that time, so that he can show his face in front of the scaly snake fish and get some good rewards.
But he can't calculate the rain in the water, all his thoughts are in the hands of the rain in the water, and if he can't even count such a little monster in the words of the rain in the water, then he won't play the game anymore.
When the Purple Twist Essence ran towards them, Shui Zhongyu directly took the challenge of the Purple Twist Essence, and the little monsters he originally dealt with were led away by three witch players who did not reach the Chongtian level.
But the purple twist spirit was not happy for long, and the two players who lured away the little demon ran back directly, one of them holding a bone mace, the other holding a bone knife, and just slashed at the purple twist spirit.
At this time, the purple twist spirit knew that he had been calculated, and when he was about to recruit those little demons back, the combat style of the rain in the water changed again.
The two witch players who did not reach the level of Chongtian desperately used themselves as cannon fodder to block all the attacks of the purple twist essence, so that the rain in the water and the three feet had enough time and energy to attack the purple twist essence with their biggest moves.
Although the two of them, Shui Yu and Sanchi, have just reached the Chongtian level, but both of them are the kind of people who have personally completed the coming-of-age ceremony, and they don't pay attention to the demon clan at the Chongtian level.
In such a short period of time, this purple twist essence was beaten into a shape by the double swords of the rain in the water and the three-foot witch spell, seeing that the life of the purple twist essence was only less than one-tenth left, the rain in the water said to the two witch players who were also a little injured, "The following is handed over to you, the three feet will help you replenish your blood, and I will help deal with those little demons." ”
When the two witch players heard this, they immediately became excited, but they knew that it was the rain in the water that gave them a chance, and now whoever killed this purple twist essence was considered a coming-of-age mission.
The two witch players who understood this naturally fought with all their might, but their actions fell into the eyes of Sanchi, which was completely to see the hearts of these two witch players, but the final end was that these two witch players could not meet the requirements of qualified collaborators in Sanchi's heart.
The two witches who didn't know that they had been set in a very bad position by the three-foot task maniac in their hearts, they were still constantly attacking the purple twist essence, and it was they who were so desperate that the speed at which the purple twist essence fell was shorter than the time calculated by the rain in the water.
At the moment when the purple twist spirit fell, the two witch players were about to quarrel over who would defeat the purple twist spirit, but at this time, Sanchi jumped in front of them, "Drag the body of this purple twist spirit aside first, we have to take a good rest, there are still two one-day monsters to fight below." ”
After listening to Sanchi's words, the two witch players didn't fight, but they were still verbally arguing about the ownership of this corpse when they were resting on the sidelines, and Sanchi didn't know what to say.
After a while, Shui Shui Yu and another witch player who lured away the little demon also returned, and when they saw the corpse of the Purple Twist Spirit on the ground and the three feet sitting next to the Purple Twist Spirit, they knew that the battle on this side was over.
Shui Zhongyu nodded to Sanchi, "Those little demons have all been killed, I have frozen their corpses, and they should be able to be used as food when they are brought back." ”
"I'm almost resting here, a little faster than the time you calculated, it seems that you didn't take into account the player's desperate spirit for profit." Sanchi also smiled at the rain in the water.
Shui Zhongyu smiled slightly, "Seriously, this is also one of the reasons why I don't like online games, after all, sometimes players are the most prone to problems. ”
"It also depends on whether it's good or bad, you have to remember that you have to know how to grasp the emotions of each player, and this is a qualified commander."
"That's why I can only be a calculator, not a conductor." Shui Yu replied with a smile.
At this point, the two of them laughed at the same time, and at this time, the life lost by the wizard who had just returned had recovered about half, and Sanchi stood up and said loudly, "It's almost time now, let's move on to the next target." ”
Hearing this, the three witch players jumped to their feet, and together they lifted the body of the purple twist spirit and walked towards the small lake.
At this time, the rain in the water and the three feet were also calm, ready to attack, as the three witch players threw the purple twist essence into the small lake, and in an instant, the surface of the small lake kept shaking.
A loud roar came from the lake, "Whoever killed my beloved general, I will dismember you all." ”
After this loud roar, the water of the small lake quickly split to both sides, and the three water demon troops rushed out.
The last of the three water demon troops is led by a monster with a pair of golden giant hammers and the limbs of a snakehead and fish body, and this monster army is only more than twenty little monsters, only of which have the strength of about level 9.
The other two teams numbered about thirty mobs, most of them were level 8 and 9 strength, led by a blue-backed crocodile and a water yaksha respectively.
Seeing these three teams rushing out of the water, the three witch players didn't say a word, they just ran away, and the three teams wanted to chase them, but they were interrupted by the rain in the water and a three-foot attack.
After these monsters reacted, the rain and three feet in the water had already run away, and at this time, the gray-headed scaly snakefish roared loudly, "Go after them, chase them all for me, you must chase them back for me." ”
As soon as they heard the order, they directly led their team to chase after them, so that the goal of distracting the enemy from the rain in the water was achieved, and it would not be long before these monsters became the experience of the rain in the water.
