Chapter 7: Crossroads
It was a barren land, vast and barren, with the exception of a few small oases with plants and water, the rest of the area was desolate, with dead grass, gravel, dry wood and animal bones on the roadside, and in addition to this, there were small mountains that looked like backbones, and the sun was shining overhead, evaporating all the water except the greenery.
Hot, barren and silent, this is the true portrayal of a barren land.
A road zigzags forward, and in the distance you can faintly see a camp surrounded by dozens of large tents.
Lin Fei stood on a high hill, looked there, and secretly said that this was the tribal territory, the crossroads camp. A minute ago, he arrived here through the portal, and fortunately, Lin Fei had recorded the four-dimensional coordinates here when he first entered the mission world.
Below, a flock of chocobos run by, ostriche-like creatures that are not aggressive, but if they are attacked, these chocobos will fight back. And in a dead grass not far from the chocobos, a lion is staring at the prey, ready to attack.
The law of survival applies no matter where you are.
Lin Fei ignored this, but jumped down, jumped down the hillside, landed lightly on the ground, and walked towards the crossroads camp.
The purpose of coming here is clear, and that is to find four other people who can enter that quest with you, but this kind of goal is not easy to find.
Because Lin Fei entered the mission world alone, he could only find someone else to fill up.
The first person that came to mind was the Minotaur contractor he met when he first entered here, naturally Lin Fei did not ask for the other party's combat power, but only the other party's person.
The other party had been active around this intersection before, and had also acquired the blood of the Minotaurs, so naturally, if he needed supplies and rest, he would definitely return here.
It's just that when Lin Fei walked to the crossroads, he noticed the names on the top of the guards here. From the previous green, it has become red.
Lin Fei stopped violently, secretly saying that his previous actions in Orgrimmar still had a chain reaction, and the tribe had obviously listed itself as an enemy. Correspondingly. All the territory, camps, and towns of the tribe will be attacked by the tribal guards as long as they step into it.
Shaking his head, Lin Fei smiled bitterly, he didn't understand anything. He offended the whole tribe in vain. Take out the Hearthstone and look at it, sure enough, it also indicates that it cannot be used, but in fact, it is not only the Hearthstone that cannot be used, including the resources of the entire tribe, hotels, shops, arsenals, pharmacies, as long as it is the people of the tribe. It can be said that they are all their own enemies now.
If you step into the range of the Crossroads camp, you will be attacked immediately. A small crossroads, of course. Even if all the guards were combined, Lin Fei was not afraid, but Lin Fei was passive in this matter, and he didn't want to continue to deteriorate his relationship with the tribe because of this.
Thinking of this, Lin Fei spread his six wings and flew up, reaching a height of hundreds of meters, overlooking his body.
Using the Black Feather Pupil, Lin Fei could see the movements in the camp below.
At the moment, there are quite a few people in the crossroads camp, but all of them are plot characters. There were orcs, minotaurs, and trolls, each of them doing their own thing, busy, noisy, Lin Fei swept over one by one, and there was still no minotaur contractor he had seen before.
"Could it be that he finished his mission and left?" Lin Fei's heart tightened.
Last time. This minotaur said that he had companions, so Lin Fei now pinned his hopes on these guys, if they left the mission world, or died, then who would make up those people for themselves.
Unconsciously, Lin Fei was a little anxious, but this feeling only appeared for a moment before Lin Fei was contained. Lin Fei, who has already experienced countless lives and deaths, has long known that the more desperate he is, the more he can't mess with himself, which will not help, but will miss the opportunity at a critical moment. …,
All he can do now is to assume that the other party is out on a mission, and only in this way can he still have a glimmer of hope.
Lin Fei began to look around, centering on the intersection to find the Minotaur Contractor. At this time, Lin Fei really wanted to go to the demon space to buy an 'Eagle Eye' skill.
The 'Eagle Eye' skill is a passive ability that can give the contractor strong vision, especially the ability to see things from a distance, if it is high in the air, any wind and grass on the ground cannot escape this pair of eyes.
However, this skill is not usually needed by contractors, and only some ranged professionals will buy and learn it, such as the crossbowman guy who learned 'Hawkeye'.
In terms of long-distance vision, the Black Feather Pupil is inferior to that of an eagle, but it is also much better than the eyesight of ordinary people. Lin Fei looked at it, and saw lion prey, saw Kodo beasts frolicking, saw a cheetah drinking vigilantly in an oasis water source, and even saw these strong centaur warriors competing in spear skills in the centaur tribe.
Everything, everything, all in sight, but there was still no clue to the minotaur contractor.
At this time, Lin Fei's eyes shrank, but he saw a figure running quickly from a small road back to the crossroads camp.
In this quest world, the way to distinguish a target from a contractor or a plot character is very simple, that is, to use combat power probing, if it is a contractor, it will show combat power, and if it is a story character, it will not only display combat power, but also display its name above the head.
And after Lin Fei's observation, that figure was a contractor.
"Good luck!" Lin Fei smiled, although this person was not the previous Minotaur, but for Lin Fei, it didn't matter who it was, it was still the same sentence, he just wanted to get together four people.
The contractor was a woman, dressed in a suit of inferior leather armor, holding a hardwood bow with a bucket of arrows hanging from her back, and a domesticated boar at her side.
Obviously, this is a hunter.
The Hunter is also a class in this quest world, and can use bows and crossbows to strike enemies at range, and is not good at melee combat, but can domesticate wild creatures and make them their own 'pets' to help them in battle.
At the crossroads camp, Wang Mengmeng rushed in quickly, and it could be seen that she must have experienced a vicious battle before. The leather armor on her body was badly worn, and there were blood marks in some places, and there were not many arrows left in the quiver behind her back.
"For the glory of the Horde, Hunter, it looks like you've been through a terrible battle!" The Minotaur guard at the door said at this time.
If it was a normal situation, Wang Mengmeng would definitely chat with this minotaur guard for a while, and perhaps, if he was lucky, he could trigger some small side quests to profit from it.
But now, Wang Mengmeng is obviously not in the mood and has no time. She rushed into the crossroads camp almost with a gust of wind, and then quickly rushed to the grocery store, weapons store and drugstore.
She had to buy supplies, including 'whetstones' to sharpen her weapons, steel-tipped arrows, and various medicines and bandages to heal her wounds, and, of course, water and food to provide calories.
Wang Mengmeng bought these things as quickly as possible, and at the same time, she also saw a green-skinned goblin pushing a small truck with wooden wheels coming over.
Suddenly, Wang Mengmeng secretly said that he was lucky.
This green-skinned goblin is a wandering merchant who roams the barren lands, and the items it sells are basically not found in ordinary camps, which can be said to be quite rare.
For example, there are various weapons made of goblins, as well as scopes that can be equipped with bows, crossbows, and muskets, tin bombs, and various ammunition. For a hunter, to encounter this goblin wandering merchant must be to go on a shopping spree.
She immediately walked over and began to bargain with the profiteer-looking goblin. …,
In the end, Wang Mengmeng spent all her gold coins to buy a well-made 'Goblin Elite Musket', several ammo bags, each elixir bag contained fifty ammo, in addition, she also added a 'scope' to this musket that can increase attack power.
In addition, Wang Mengmeng also got a few 'iron bombs'. After that, Wang Mengmeng rushed out of the crossroads camp in a hurry, and then ran in one direction at a rapid pace.
Before that, she went on missions with several companions she knew in the mission world, but their combat power was too low, and the mission stumbled, and several times she almost died. And just ten minutes ago, they were accidentally besieged by a large number of enemies, and several of her companions hid in a narrow cave to resist, while Wang Mengmeng took the opportunity to run out and buy some supplies.
She had to rush back at once, or her companions would be devoured by the gnolls who ate meat and never spit out bones.
Wang Mengmeng ran very fast, and after a few minutes, she went around to the back of a hill. It was full of thick thorny vines, rudimentary tents were haphazardly propped up around it, and there were some unburned fires on the ground, on which some chocobo meat was roasted on sharp iron skewers.
In addition, there are also some corpses of jackals lying on the side here, all of which were killed by Wang Mengmeng and her companions before.
Further along this direction, Wang Mengmeng finally saw that there were more than twenty gnolls besieging a cave in front of him. The cave was just over two meters wide, but it was being guarded by two contractors.
"Hold on, everyone, I'm coming!" Wang Mengmeng hurriedly shouted, then quickly put away his wild boar pet, and then climbed up the peak where the cave was located.
In the cave, there is a narrow crack that can climb out, but the crack is too small, and only the petite Wang Mengmeng can come and go freely. The other contractors couldn't climb out at all. (To be continued) RQ
