Chapter 20: Someone Got First!

In response to Zhao Xi's inquiry, the old hunter smiled faintly and said, "I used to be the most haode hunter in Silver Town, and I knew a lot of friends until I was hit by an arrow in the knee, but I can still hear a lot of news, so I know that you are looking for an ogre." ”

After a pause, he continued, "I can show you how to find the ogre, and if you can gouge out its heart for me, I'll give you a little reward." ”

System prompt: Have you accepted an assignment in Auckland?

Zhao Xi chose to be sure without hesitation, he has now been promoted to level 5, and it is not a big problem to deal with the ogre who is also level 5, it is time to complete the task of transferring jobs.

Oakland quests are immediately added to the quest log, below the transfer quests.

The two missions are not in conflict, as the Holy Knight Rollai wants the ogre's head, and Oakland wants the heart.

Oakland nodded with satisfaction: "You left the town, and walked along the riverbank to the west, about a dozen miles away by the woods, you can see a row of abandoned wooden houses, I heard that there are ogres there." ”

"With my years of hunting experience, the best way to hunt an ogre is to lure it with a fresh beast heart, and then sneak up while it's devouring. You'll have to be careful, though, because the ogre's skin is very tough and has no obvious weaknesses, and it can only be defeated by letting it bleed non-stop! ”

Zhao Xi took Oakland's words to heart, because quest NPCs don't talk useless nonsense, and their words usually contain the know-how to complete the quest, which cannot be carelessly ignored.

"Xiexie, your pointers!" Zhao Xi thanked him.

Oakland kept his mouth shut and continued to sharpen his never-ending hunting knife on his doorstep.

Unexpectedly got the news of the ogre, Zhao Xi did not rush to leave Baiyin Town to look for it in the riverside hut, he first went to the blacksmith shop in the town to buy weapons.

When he completed the blacksmith task yesterday, Zhao Xi took a fancy to a weapon there, but he was shy at the time, and he could only look at it and drool, but now it is different.

Black Iron Blade, Attack 4-10, Durability 15/15, Level 5 required.

That's right! This weapon is the same black iron blade he used in the arena, and it costs 1 gold at the blacksmith shop!

For ordinary novice players, level 5 ordinary equipment is completely chicken, because it is easy for novices to level up, and it only takes two or three days to practice to level 10 and leave the dawn plane, and it is a waste of money to spend money to buy level 5 tabula rasa weapons.

Either they have to use the lowest level of newbie equipment all the time, or they earn it by completing missions, and the invaluable game currency in the early stage will naturally be used where it is needed most.

Like this black iron blade, which costs as much as 1 gold, no one will care about it at all.

But Zhao Xi really liked this weapon, especially when he killed an opponent with the same equipment in the arena in the morning, he didn't have a lot of fun at all, and now he didn't feel anything when he touched the novice long sword.

The most important thing is that thanks to those second-generation brain-dead people, he has the ability to buy the weapon he likes.

If you want to buy it, you can buy it, Zhao Xi never deliberately wronged himself, and sold 1 gold in exchange for the black iron blade.

After refilling the pharmacy with ten bottles of minor healing potions, he embarked on the road to a new job.

Following the old hunter's instructions, Zhao Xi left Baiyin Town and came to the small river to the south, and then followed the river that originated deep in the forest to the west.

After stepping through the green fields and climbing over the low undulating mounds, after more than an hour of trekking, Zhao Xi finally saw the abandoned wooden houses on the edge of the woods in front of him.

Surrounded by vast expanses of abandoned farmland, the grass was knee-high, and a few dilapidated scarecrows stood alone in the field, and a black crow stood on a bare wooden frame and made noise.

The wind from the distant field blew here, making a rustling sound of wheat grass, and the two hares chased and jumped out of the grass, and then disappeared without a trace.

This is obviously not a suitable area for leveling, and there are not many monsters to be seen, so even players can't see them.

Zhao Xi walked around the wooden house, but found nothing.

He thought for a moment and went into the woods behind.

He hadn't taken a few steps when he heard shouts of battle not far away.

Someone!

Zhao Xi immediately quickened his pace and hurried over, and soon saw that in the woods in front of him, there were four or five players surrounding a huge monster, and there were traces of fierce battles everywhere, and many trees had been cut down.

The five players, four men and one woman, are also injured and have white healing bands around their arms.

The monster on the ground resembled a hairless gorilla, with thick limbs and dark and rough skin, an ugly head that still maintained its pre-death hideousness, its eyes bulging high, and its open mouth showing yellow fangs.

Ogre, level 5, monster with powerful liliang!

It was actually the key to Zhao Xi's completion of the job transfer task, a level 5 ogre, but he was taken first by others!

Zhao Xi's appearance immediately alarmed the five players, and two of them raised their weapons.

Even in the dawn plane, competition is everywhere, because the novice area can also be PK, malicious robbery of monsters and equipment to kill people is not uncommon, although malicious PK has a heavy punishment, but scum will always exist.

However, when they found out that Zhao Xi was alone, their expressions were completely relaxed.

A warrior who looked like a leader also took the initiative to greet him: "Hello, are you also a killer of ogres?" ”

Zhao Xi nodded: "Yes, but it looks like I'm late!" ”

The warrior asked curiously, "What mission are you doing?" Changing classes or mercenaries? ”

Zhao Xi felt that he had a lot of questions, but the other party was polite and replied, "It's a job change." ”

"I see, it must be a paladin!" The warrior smiled: "That's a coincidence, we are all on mercenary missions, do you want the head of the ogre?" ”

At this time, the ogre's corpse on the ground was gradually disappearing, but its head remained, indicating that this was a must-explode item and would not be directly refreshed by the system.

Zhao Xi didn't expect that the other party was willing to give up the ogre's head.

It seems like a good thing, if he can receive it directly, then he can go back and complete the transfer immediately, become a real paladin, and level up much faster after having skills.

Zhao Xi was greatly moved and asked, "How much?" ”

He doesn't think that his character is good enough to give away the other party for nothing.

The warrior touched his chin, looked at the four companions beside him, and said, "Five of us, you give each of us two silver coins, and the ogre's head is yours!" ”

He stretched out his foot and stepped on the ogre's head, and looked at Zhao Xi confidently: "No bargain!" ”

"Forget it!"

Zhao Xi shook his head in disappointment.

5 people all need 2 silver, so a total of 1 gold is needed, he can't afford it at all!
