Chapter 11: Back to the Cave
Qin Tian stripped off all the mage's equipment, a +1 leather Kai, white leather shoes and a skull shield, and a +1 leather helmet chasing 4.
The skull staff in his hand is not bad, it is a small best with a lucky attribute chasing 12 attacks, and I don't know where this kid got it, but in the end, it was all cheaper Qin Tian.
He threw these trophies into his space backpack in one go, which can be regarded as a windfall, and sure enough, Ma Wuye grass is not fat.
He threw the mage's corpse into an abandoned well and blocked it with bricks and stones, and Qin Tian, who had fought and killed countless people for many years, had no burden in his heart.
The most important thing for him now is to seize this opportunity to level up. The two bull monsters in the alley are no more, no less, just right for him. Too much, his current level and attacks are still unbearable, too little and inefficient.
He spent a few minutes cutting over one and then going to trouble the other, and when he was done, the other one refreshed the one that just happened to be connected.
After six hours of fighting, he also felt a little tired and ate the only red apple. Finally, when a minotaur fell, he managed to reach level 3 with a flash of golden light.
Qin Tian immediately increased his strength attribute by 5 points, raising it to 39, just enough to wear leather boots that added 1, and at the same time, he also put the remaining 2 attributes on agility. In his opinion, before there is no better equipment, it is necessary to improve agility to make his movements more flexible.
As soon as the +1 leather shoes were put on, they immediately increased their defense by 5 points, and the 2 points of the shield in his hand were 7 points of defense, which gave Qin Tian more confidence in the face of the bull monster.
At the same time, the increase in 5 points of strength also increased his attack power correspondingly, and Qin Tian believed that he could kill a minotaur in only 5-6 minutes at most.
Miracle Otherworldly equipment is not about wearing whatever part you wear, and you can only increase defense in that part. Instead, as long as you put on a piece of equipment, even a pair of shoes, the equipment that was originally condensed from Mana's energy will automatically form a defensive stance around the body, providing the same defense for the whole body.
No matter what type of damage the outside world is, this defensive stance must be broken before the final damage to the physical body can be formed.
Qin Tian knew that after reaching a high level, the defense power of some high-level suits could even withstand the damage of thermonuclear weapons. Ordinary humans no longer have any weapons to attack the witchers, and only then did the witchers truly become the masters of the world, which was also the beginning of a new world order.
After Qin Tian upgraded, the exhaustion of his body was swept away and he was full of energy, and he practiced in the alley until the sun went down before he reluctantly returned to the City of the Brave.
At this moment, he already had hundreds of gold coins in his bag, a mage's loot, and a pair of dropped +1 chase 4 rattan shoes.
He immediately went to the trading market and did not bargain with anyone, and sold the equipment as quickly as possible, exchanging it for a short bow with +1 chasing 8, a white vine kai, and a vine hand with a lucky chase 4. At the same time, he replaced his chasing 4 short axe with a +1 chasing 4 hand axe, and added a leather helmet with +0 chasing 8 defense to himself.
The item level of the hand axe is one level higher than that of the short axe, and the +1 hand axe attack reaches 7-12, and then with the chase 4 attack attribute, the actual attack power reaches 11-16.
6 points higher than the upper and lower limits of his original 5-10 short axe, and the strength requirement of +1 chasing 4 hand axes is 39 points, which is just right now to be held. At the same time, the handle of the hand axe is longer than that of the short axe, and the attack range is also larger, making it more powerful to swing.
Although the Skull Staff with Lucky Chase 12 Attacks obtained from the Mage is definitely a small gem in the early stage and can be sold for a good price.
But Qin Tian is now pursuing speed and efficiency, and he has no time to bargain with people in the market. As long as you can change to the equipment that can increase your strength to the most at the current level, you can do it.
Although it may be a little loss in terms of actual value, for Qin Tian, who is used to seeing high-level equipment in large scenes, these are all negligible.
After buying some food and drink, adding some clothes and ordinary daily necessities, Qin Tian left the City of the Brave before the city gate drawbridge was raised. He still thinks about the woman tied up in the hole.
It's been a whole day, and I don't know which woman is dead or alive. If he really died, then Qin Tian would feel very uncomfortable in his heart.
In any case, she was the first person he met after crossing over, and although it was a bit of a misunderstanding, it was not a fundamental conflict. After reading the woman's diary, Qin Tian still had some sympathy for her and understood her behavior.
It was already dark, and now the dark forest was once again a world of monsters.
It didn't rain tonight, and although there were still many people who wanted to level up all night, they were still fighting the monsters under the light of the torches. But most of the witchers returned to the safety of the City of the Brave to rest.
Qin Tian quickly returned to the door of the cave where the woman was hiding, and after carefully observing the surroundings to make sure it was safe, he picked up the branches and stones piled at the entrance of the cave and dodged into the cave.
As soon as I entered the hole, I smelled a faint smell of urine. He lit the oil lamp in the cave, and turned his head to meet the woman's weak but still resentful gaze.
The woman was lying on the ground, not in her original position, but still tied up with ropes. She should have struggled desperately, but with a veteran like Qin Tian, how could she easily break free from the means of tying people up.
Qin Tian saw that the woman's skin was worn out and bleeding in many places, and the hands and feet that were strangled by the rope also turned black and purple. The ground and pants on her lower body were wet, probably wet with urine that she couldn't hold, and there was a trace of blood flowing from the corner of her mouth that was gagged with cloth. But it's good that she hasn't died yet, and a stone in Qin Tian's heart has landed.
"I know you hate me to death right now, but I don't want to explain anything right now. However, if you haven't drunk water for a day, you should be very thirsty. I'll untie your ropes and cloth balls and feed you water first. The rest will come later. Qin Tian quickly untied the woman's rope and took out the kettle he brought.
He wasn't worried about what the woman would do at all, because the woman had been tied up for a day, and her qi and blood had long been out of breath and her limbs were paralyzed. Look at the black and purple appearance of her limbs, if her hands and feet are not necrotic, thank God.
Qin Tian took out the cloth that had already been wet with saliva and blood from the mouth of this woman called Shuicao, the woman's throat retched and made a hoarse sound, he carefully fed the woman water, a little afraid that she would be choked.
The woman was indeed thirsty, and did not resist. After drinking the water, Qin Tian checked the limbs, hands and feet of the aquatic plants, and it was okay, although the skin was damaged in many places, the blood was resuming its flow, and it had not yet reached the point of necrosis. After all, he is a demon hunter, and his physique is much better than that of ordinary people.
The woman was only loosened at this time, and her weak limbs couldn't be lifted at all, even if she had any thoughts in her heart now, she could only put them in her heart and let Qin Tian manipulate them.
"Trust me, I have no ill will towards you. Although it is a last resort to tie you up. It was a misunderstanding between us, and it was you who did it first. If I wanted to hurt you, I wouldn't be what I am now. Qin Tian cut the specially bought red apple into small pieces and asked the woman to eat it slowly.
This miracle otherworldly fruit can restore qi and blood, increase vitality, and is good for women to speed up blood circulation.
The water weeds still didn't speak, looking down at a corner of the ground, not knowing what they were thinking. Qin Tian ignored her, and took out a short bow and a rattan costume to put next to her.
"You see, although I took your equipment in the morning, I said that I would return it to you twice. Now that I've done what I say, these equipment are better than your previous ones, and they're all back to you. Qin Tian lifted Shuicao's feet and helped her massage and knead despite the woman's strong objection.
"I know you still hate me in your heart, and you might want to kill me. It's all right, that's understandable. But your hands and feet are still bleeding, and the massage will make your blood flow faster. Otherwise, you may be paralyzed or necrotic. Even if you want to kill me, you'll have to wait until you can move. ”
The woman still held her breath and didn't say a word, but her body couldn't help but tremble under Qin Tian's massage. Qin Tian knew that she must be very uncomfortable at the moment, because her unconscious limbs must be painful and itchy like thousands of ants biting when she restores the flow of qi and blood and massages.
Of course, it is more likely that the shame and anger that arise after being touched by a man's skin, Qin Tian didn't care about her, and still did what he felt he should do.
I hope that through my actions, the relationship between the two people can be eased, and of course, it may also get worse. Who can understand a woman's heart?
The two of them were speechless and the cave was silent. After a long time, the water grass suddenly shrank its two legs and pulled back from Qin Tian. She sat up with her head bowed, her arms tightly clasped around her knees, her long hair hiding her face, and her expression was not visible.
"Looks like you're basically able to move now, so be it. I'll go to the door first. There's something to eat here. You can tweak it first, and then we'll talk. Qin Tian felt that if he continued to stay in the cave, it would embarrass both of them. It is indeed inconvenient for a woman to change her clothes that are wet with urine.
He walked out of the cave and took a deep breath, and a bright moon in the night sky cast a silver glow on the dark forest. The air was slightly cool, and there was an unknown insect chirping all around.
He thought that he actually didn't owe her anything after he had returned the equipment to the woman, and had done all this. Although she suffered a little, it was also helpless, and the best way now was to leave without owing each other.
But when I thought of the woman's emaciated shoulders and dark eyes, there was something indescribable in my heart that I couldn't turn around and leave. He thought, maybe it's fate, and decided to try again. Another way to say to myself is that I need teammates right now, and this woman's essence should not be bad.
After walking around the door again, Qin Tian entered the cave again. The food on the ground was eaten, and the woman had already changed her clothes, and the rattan clothes she had given her were all on her body.
Seeing Qin Tian come in, the woman glanced at him and lowered her head, but her hand clenched the short bow, and her fingers were a little white from the force.
"You don't have to be nervous, I'm just here to see if you're okay. If you still have the strength and do want to breathe, we can go out, the moonlight outside is just right, you can let go and hit me. ”
