Chapter 20: The Shepherd
Accepting the task, Xiao Buli came to the meadow and officially took over the sheep, to say that the cultivation method of the professional skill of herding is different from the previous feeding and harvesting. After receiving the flock, check the task description in the taskbar.
The job responsibilities of the herder are: 1. Ensure that the sheep can eat enough pasture. 2. Ensure that the sheep are active within the pasture and no sheep are lost. 3. Make sure that the sheep are not bitten to death by wild animals in the vicinity.
Master Yang has more than fifty sheep in total, and he doesn't need Xiao Buli to feed them, just make sure that the sheep stay together and make sure that there is enough grass nearby, but this seemingly simple and leisurely job is much more difficult than the previous two jobs.
For a period of time, Xiao Buli was not bothered by wild beasts, at least Xiao Buli walked around the grassland and did not find any threatening beasts, and Xiao Buli arranged the meat ball to be on guard on the periphery, so that once a monster attacked, he could get the news as soon as possible. The meat ball that has obtained enough food is also very loyal at the moment, and Xiao Buli is not afraid that it will defect.
But this flock is not easy to manage, on the surface looks tame lamb, at first just obediently grazing, but unconsciously the formation dispersed, three or three two sheep slowly expand their herbivorous range, sometimes fart out of the way, Xiao Buli got a whip while accepting the task, whenever he saw the sheep fall behind, he went over to leave the sheep has a tendency to scatter the lamb with a whip to drive it back, the team of fifty sheep said that it is not big, said that it is not small, which makes Xiao Buli a little careless, Just drove a few in the east, and some in the west ran away, and the most frustrating thing for him was that sometimes after pumping, the sheep not only did not return to the flock, but would angrily bump into him.
The first time he encountered this situation, he didn't react, he was hit head-on, lost 8 points of health at once, and was hit on the head, and there was a vertiginous debuff, and it took a long time to ease up, and the meat ball saw that the owner was attacked and ran a few steps to this side, and after being appeased by Xiao Buli, he retreated to the cordon.
At this moment, he hit his little sheep, and after hitting the person, he obediently ran back to the flock, looking at its trembling little tail, which made Xiao Buli depressed again, and when he drove the sheep again, Xiao Buli should not only pay attention to whether the sheep on the other side are left behind, but also be careful about whether the sheep being driven around him have a tendency to attack, fortunately, the impact route of those goats is a straight line, and it is not very difficult to dodge.
Fortunately, not all goats have the phenomenon of attacking, only occasionally one or two dishonest goats appear, and soon Xiao Buli found that his main job is probably to deal with this kind of dishonest goats, fortunately, the damage of these goats is not very high, and they will not attack him together, so as long as they are careful to dodge, it is not difficult to survive.
Xiao Buli's operation is not strong, and it didn't take a few times to adapt to the impact of these goats, except for a few times in the first half hour, he was hit once.
In this way, when the grazing skill was upgraded to the third level, a golden light suddenly flashed.
System Prompt: Player Xiao Buli, by dodging the impact of the goat for a long time, you have learned the 'Emergency Dodge' skill, the current level is 1.
Emergency Dodge: Moves a short distance to the side at breakneck speed, consuming 5 HP each time and having a 10 second cooldown.
Looking at the explanation of the system, Xiao Buxing thought that this seemed to be a good life-saving skill, but it was very practical for this kind of non-locking game.
Xiao Buli dragged this skill to the hotbar while thinking about it, tried it twice, and found that this skill is very similar to the side roll in some action games, and a bit like the sliding step in the fighting game, with this skill, it is easier to dodge the impact of the goat, with the emergency dodge skill, Xiao Buli immediately confidently joined the happy goat dodge action.
It wasn't until the afternoon that he finally had his first challenge from the beast.
At this moment, Xiao Buli was still busy dodging the impact of a goat in the east, with the improvement of his ability, these dishonest lambs not only increased more and more, but also the number and frequency of impacts seemed to increase, he was engrossed in staring at the lamb that was about to impact in front of him, suddenly the cry of the meat ball attracted him, pulled the screen, and a gray and thin wild dog was rushing towards the lone lamb in the west.
This is a gray-haired wild dog in the suburbs, the weather in early spring, so that it is in the shedding period, the body is not bright hair at the moment looks even more dirty, the body has faded but refuses to leave its winter hair tangled in the body, making it look as if wearing a cotton exposed torn cotton jacket. The gray-haired wild dogs, who were in the limelight, touched silently, and on the west side of the pasture, the three lambs were breaking away from the group and hiding in the relatively lush grass to graze.
Xiao Buli hurriedly ran to the west, a meat ball in a state of alert was still in place, as long as the owner was not attacked, it seemed that it could carry out the last order well. Xiao Buli was anxious, but he ran over for a while. But seeing that the goat was not stupid, hearing the wind, he lowered his head and showed his sharp goat horns, and hit the wild dog, seeing a sheep and a dog approaching quickly, and was about to collide together, the wild dog suddenly jumped up, and a pounce actually bypassed the goat's frontal impact, and grabbed dozens of points of blood with a few paws, Xiao Buli also ran to the front at this moment. Seeing that the owner entered the attack range, the meat ball that was very close to the wild dog also quickly followed, before Xiao Buli attacked, there was already a pounce, and then frantically bitten, the wild dog's hair was mixed with blood, and with the tearing of the two wild dogs fell to the ground, taking advantage of the wild dog and the meat ball entangled together, Xiao Buli quickly approached from behind, and saw the right time, a series of sword strikes slashed up, and under the two pinching blows, the poor wild dog was killed in a moment. The wild dog's eyes were glaring fiercely, as if he was hating the enemy in front of him, and perhaps he was also remembering the cubs in the distance, this kind of gaze made Xiao Buli feel very uncomfortable, it seems that even realistic game effects are sometimes not always a good thing.
This wild dog also brought Xiao Buli 5 points of actual combat experience, and I don't know what the use of this thing is, but I think it should be able to be used in the future.
The grazing lasted for two days, during which more than a dozen wild dogs were killed, and the combat experience accumulated to 75 points.
However, grazing is also paid, and it is higher than raising pigs, so after two days, he still has more savings, and now he has three silver coins in deposit.
When he finally raised his grazing skills to lv5, Xiao Buli finally heard the voice he wanted to hear the most, and with a ding, the beast taming technique finally rose to lv3.
(Sure enough, it seems that my guess is correct, as long as you do a profession related to animals such as herding, you have a chance to improve the level of animal taming, so what else has to do with animals besides breeding and herding?) Xiao Buli continued to graze while planning his next move, I'm afraid hunting should also be a kind, after all, hunters are specialized in dealing with wild beasts, and he can't think of it for a while because he doesn't know much about the composition of the people in this village.
Anyway, the grazing skill in front of him is not yet at the full level, Xiao Buli plans to ask the village chief after it is completed, before that, Xiao Buli thinks that as long as he continues to graze, the beast taming technique should be able to rise to lv4.
