Chapter 44: Attacking a Monster
When he was 12 years old, Epic remembered that he followed his friends every day carefree and ran all over the mountains. The only thought after school is to play! In the face of this NPC child who is only 12 years old and dares to take his servant bodyguards in and out of the Walmart Forest where his life is in danger at any time, he can't help but despise the game production team, this is not logical at all, who will really rest assured that an underage child will enter the land of life and death with such an important caravan?
It is said that in addition to inviting Epic to join the caravan, Xiahou Yan has been hiding in the carriage without saying a word. Unlike ordinary children who like to look around, he didn't even lift the curtains on both sides of the carriage, and he sat upright to show his mature temperament. This also made the epic secretly slander the elders of the Xiahou family for ruining their childhood, and actually taught a good child like this!
Through the flattering uncle Xiahou Ren, I learned that this caravan mission was an adult test ceremony for the little ghost Xiahou Yan! As long as the children of the Xiahou family reach the age of 12, they will have to undergo a rigorous coming-of-age test, and the questions of the test are often extremely dangerous! The child can choose to accept or withdraw.
Anyone who withdraws, regardless of whether he is the eldest or youngest, will cancel the inheritance of the Xiahou family's property, and become a powerless and powerless disciple of the outer family. And the children who accepted the coming-of-age ceremony and failed the test also ended up, only the successful person can get the inheritance of the Xiahou family and compete for the rights and interests with other brothers and sisters who passed! And these children are basically geniuses who are one in a hundred, and there will definitely be an outstanding person who will bring the Xiahou family to the top in the future!
This kind of family elimination system makes the epic feel too inhumane, but after all, it is just NPCs in the illusory world, and even if their form and behavior are similar to real humans, they are just a false existence composed of strings of data. So it's just a matter of hearing about this kind of thing, and it doesn't mean anything to him.
In addition to the young son Xia Houyan last year, Xiahou Yan's housekeeper Xia Houren, 6 chauffeurs, and 10 handymen who pushed carts to carry goods and luggage, there were only 5 fully armed bodyguards left in the caravan. After epic observation, these 5 bodyguards have no other equipment except for the whiteboard bronze axe they carry in their hands, and their combat effectiveness is naturally not strong, and they are barely able to deal with the nail rake cats, multi-hooked cats, half-orcs, and half-beast warriors that appear along the way. Even so, not long after entering the Walmart Forest, they were each injured, but they didn't have a Taoist profession that could treat, and they were reluctant to use gold sore medicine, so their future was worrying!
Fortunately, although there will also be half-beast warriors in the Walmart Forest, they are basically 300-point fake warriors, and they are generally in the dense woods and rarely appear on the avenue, and they can barely cope with the strength of these 5 bodyguards.
As for the epic that was invited, at the moment sat on the top of the first wagon, bored admiring the beautiful pristine natural environment of the Walmart Forest.
The monsters such as the half-orcs and half-beast warriors of the Woma Forest do not have much intelligence, and unlike those of the half-orc tribe, they are called wild monsters. As a result, they often ignore the armistice between the Orc tribe and the Beechcraft Kingdom, and constantly attack passing caravans, NPCs, and players. Whether it is the orc tribe or the Beechcraft kingdom, they can only ignore it according to the will of the "gods".
This is not! Not long after they walked out, a team of half-beast warriors and half-orcs appeared in twos and threes, blocking the caravan's path.
"Kill!!" The five bodyguards of the Xiahou family did not hesitate to wave the bronze axe to face the battle, and the two sides fought back and forth. It stands to reason that 3 half-beast warriors plus 2 half-orcs are not a problem for 5 bodyguards. It's a big deal to pay a few minor injuries to solve it. However, after the battle, the five bodyguards of the Xiahou family were unexpectedly inferior and retreated, and it didn't take long for all of them to retreat to the caravan with serious injuries.
Epic sat on the roof of the truck and watched the battle, and naturally saw the whole battle situation clearly. It's not that the bodyguards don't help, there is actually an elite monster hidden among the 3 half-beast warriors! The 5 bodyguards were all injured by the sneak attack of the elite monsters in the battle, so that they were unable to retreat.
Seeing 3 half-beast warriors and 2 half-orcs approaching the caravan carriage, the 12-year-old imp NPC Xiahou Yan finally couldn't help but poke his head out of the car window and looked up at the epic with a little nervousness. As his housekeeper, the flattering uncle Xiahouren was even more unbearable, and he had already panicked and ran under the truck where the epic was sitting and said loudly: "Lord Adventurer! The situation is critical, and you are asked to fight off these bandits! ”
The 5 bodyguards, as well as the coachman and the handyman, all looked at the epic nervously, if she couldn't defeat the enemy, the rest of them might all be killed by the orcs!
"What are you panicking about?" Epic jumped off the roof of the car unhurriedly, looked sideways at the five half-orcs who were getting closer and closer, and smiled slightly, "Such a little thing can be solved in a few seconds, there is no harm!" ”
"And ask the adventurer to be powerful!" The flattering uncle hurriedly came over and patted his ass, "Let me wait to see your extraordinary strength!" ”
"Heh~~" Epic opened his mouth and yawned, rubbing his sleepy eyes, "Alas! I was sleepy in the car, and this little battle couldn't even refresh me! ”
"Ahh They're coming!! Xiahou Ren, the flattering uncle next to him, suddenly screamed in shock, turned his head and rushed desperately towards Xiahou Yan's noble carriage, "Young master! I'm here to protect you!! ”
"If you are afraid of death, you are afraid of death, what to say to protect ......" Epic rolled his eyes, turned his head and saw that the bodyguards, coachmen, and handymen had all shrunk to the vicinity of the noble carriage, and they were ready to flee at any time if their expressions were unfavorable. I can't help but be speechless, these NPCs don't believe in the strength of their buddies too much, and it's not okay to show them if they don't show their hands!
At that moment, he raised the iron sword in his hand and shouted: "Magical girl! Transformation-!! Uh~~ Not true! String lines! ”
"Be careful! They're coming!! Xiahou Yan shouted loudly.
Epic turned his head to look, and the five half-orcs were really close at hand, and hurriedly raised the iron sword again and shouted: "He-Man give me strength!" All right! I'm stringing lines again! ”
"Roar~~!!" The leading elite half-beast warrior had already raised his stick and smashed it into the Epic Brain.
"Just kidding, you don't have to be so ruthless, right?" The epic reaction was not slow, he flashed the attack sideways, watched the wooden stick smash a big hole on the ground, and couldn't help but look at the elite half-beast warrior angrily, "You green-haired half-orc, you are so green all over your body, you must be your wife stealing men every day!" There are too many green hats, so when you see a beautiful woman, you will hate the slot, right? Uh~~ Not true! How can I call myself a beauty? Fallen, fallen~~ I'm a handsome guy...... Depend on! You can't treat beautiful women so fiercely, didn't you-mom teach you? Come back! I'm really!! ”
Seeing that the epic was so poor in the face of 5 and a half orcs, Xia Houyan couldn't help but have a trace of worry on his face that did not match his age: "I didn't expect the adventurer to be so unreliable, is my choice wrong?" It is said that adventurers are the darlings of the gods, who can be reborn infinitely after death, and treat the aborigines as if they were grass. It would be a mistake to ask her to escort the caravan...... If that's the case, I'm hurting everyone......"
"Childe, what should we do?" Hearing Xiahou Yan's words, Xiahou Ren and the other NPCs all showed panic.
"What if...... If the adventurers don't care about the safety of the caravan, we will abandon the goods and flee the same way! The goods are not important, the most important thing is everyone's lives! I'll take you out well, and I'm going to bring you back well! Xia Houyan gritted his teeth and struggled with concern.
"But once the goods are lost, not only will the childe fail the coming-of-age ceremony test, but he will also be kicked out of the house!" Xia Houren hurriedly said, "I'd rather fight to the death!" ”
"I'd rather fight to the death!!" The rest of the NPCs were also moved by Gongzi Xiahouyan's words, and their morale was high, and even the miscellaneous coachmen rolled up their sleeves and prepared to fight to the death.
Ya, I don't believe buddy! Epic clearly heard the movement behind it, and it seemed that he had overdone his joke! Laughing at the moment, he summoned the mutant half-beast leader directly from the pet space, jumped on its broad shoulders, and looked at the 5 half-beast warriors and half-orcs condescendingly: "It's really boring for NPCs to make jokes!" Half-Beast Commander, destroy them for me! ”
"Your will is where I'm headed!!" The Half-Beast Commander Urn responded angrily, and at the same time raised his axe and threw it at the nearest orc.
“-839!” Before the poor orc could figure out the situation, he ascended to heaven in an instant, leaving behind a vial of gold sore medicine (in small amounts).
The half-beast commander took advantage of the victory to pursue, and then threw and attacked with flying axes, instantly killing the other two half-beast warriors and half-orcs, leaving only the last elite half-beast warriors.
"Roar~~!!" The elite half-beast warrior slammed his wooden club and smashed it on the sturdy armor of the half-beast commander, unable to even force damage, and the attack was like a mud cow entering the sea without any response.
"Bold!!" For the half-beast warrior who dared to do it to himself, the half-beast commander with a little intelligence was very displeased, and did not hesitate to chop out an axe, and immediately cut the elite half-beast warrior to the ground, and "boom" burst out a golden prop.
"Waha~~ It turned out to be a 9×9 explosion! Good luck! Epic hurriedly jumped down and began to collect the loot, "Oh~~8 silver coins, a lot of money!" Sun water is also a good thing~~ There is also equipment~~ [Durable] [Blacksmith Big Bracelet]? Hey! Isn't this a big bracelet~~ Why is it a blacksmith big bracelet? ”
[Durable] [Blacksmith Bracelet]: Defense 1-1, each time it is crafted after equipping, the blacksmith's skill proficiency is increased by an additional 1 point.
After checking the attributes, Epic's eyes suddenly sparkled: "Good thing~~ The best equipment for blacksmith skill upgrades!" Each time you build an extra 1 point of proficiency, your life skills will be upgraded much faster than others! En~~ Put it away first! The blacksmith of the studio is about to be erected~~ Another piece of equipment...... Depend on! The whiteboard bronze sword, it's really depressing! No matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat, so I barely put it away first! ”
turned his head, but saw that Xiahou Yan, Xia Houren and other 23 NPCs were all curled up together in amazement, looking at the behemoth behind the epic and trembling, and they didn't even dare to come out.
