Chapter 173: The Mystery of Skill
The purple-haired woman knew what Ye Xuan meant, and she also knew that if she signed the contract, she was likely to be saved, but ...... Her eyes were still full of hesitation.
Followers, this is civilized speech, Ye Xuan does not understand the obligations of followers, and the contract documents are also very vague, but the purple-haired woman knows very well that once the contract is signed, she will receive very big constraints.
In the world of NPCs, the follower contract, and there is another term, the slave contract!
If you sign a contract to become a follower, you are like a slave, you can't resist, no, the slave may still have room to resist, but the follower can't make a splash under the rules of the system.
Of course, the signing of the contract requires the consent of both parties, so ordinary people will not have too many requirements for their followers, and even meet some good masters, and will also provide their followers with equipment and some cultivation items.
But...... The purple-haired woman didn't know much about Ye Xuan, and she didn't want to be attached to others, so even if she was dying at this time, even if she signed the contract, her strength could grow rapidly, and her eyes were ...... Still full of hesitation.
Ye Xuan was speechless, he didn't know that there were so many doorways in the contract, at this time, looking at the purple-haired woman in front of him who was dying frequently, but still thinking about something in his mind, he almost wanted to scold directly.
Maybe it was because she saw the caring look in Ye Xuan's eyes, or maybe it was the surprise that Ye Xuan brought to her in the battle just now, and finally, the purple-haired woman bowed her head, and there seemed to be some inexplicable look in her eyes.
The two sides printed their own blood marks, and suddenly, the paper in Ye Xuan's hand spontaneously combusted without wind. It disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving only two mysterious runes, one large and one small, in place. The big runes didn't enter Ye Xuan's forehead, and the small ones. It was submerged in the purple-haired woman's forehead.
At this moment, the purple-haired woman officially became Ye Xuan's follower, and her physique changed in an instant.
And Ye Xuan also had an extra mystical rune in his mind, and through this rune, it seemed that he was in control of the purple-haired woman's every move.
The contract was successfully signed, and Ye Xuan hurriedly took out a few more bottles of life elixir. A stream of brains poured into the purple-haired woman's mouth, and then, her eyes were fixed on the purple-haired woman's delicate cheeks to see if the dead gray on her face could fade.
Finally, after a while, the dead gray on the purple-haired woman's face faded little by little, from her forehead to her cheeks. Then to the neck, there is no sign of recurrence.
Ye Xuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, in case the contract was signed, the purple-haired woman would not be able to save her. Then wouldn't he want to cry to death, although Ye Xuan did not regret making this decision. But in case of failure, say not distressed. That's absolutely deceptive.
At this time, Ye Xuan didn't know the preciousness of this contract document. I don't know that it is definitely not a loss to accept the purple-haired woman as a follower.
NPCs become followers of players, they can be the same as players, kill monsters and upgrade, not to mention in the future, at least if the level is not high, the speed of strength improvement is much faster than cultivation, if Ye Xuan takes this contract document to the shelter town, most NPCs will compete to become Ye Xuan's followers.
But...... These NPCs, however, do not include those who are in high positions, nor are they those who are extremely talented.
The purple-haired woman belongs to the list of geniuses, but she was born ordinary, and she is an arrogant person, she has refused the solicitation of many NPC forces, and she does not have many cultivation resources, so her strength is limited to this.
If it weren't for the various coincidences this time, Ye Xuan would want to recruit a person with the same talent as a purple-haired woman among the NPCs, even with his current reputation, it would still be ...... No way!
With the potion and the purple-haired woman's cultivation exercises, finally, the injury was almost recovered, and even the silver-level clothes on her body were still restored as before, if it weren't for the fact that there was still a lot of dust on her body, I am afraid that no one would be able to see that she had just experienced a life-and-death confrontation.
The purple-haired woman who had recovered was still silent, but when she faced Ye Xuan, her face was no longer so cold.
"You...... What is your name? Ye Xuan looked at the purple-haired woman who was like an ice lotus, and couldn't help but ask, until now, I didn't know the other party's name, and it was really a bit of a failure to think about it.
The purple-haired woman looked at Ye Xuan, who didn't seem to have fully adapted to her identity, and finally, she spoke, her voice cold and crisp, "Master, I'm ...... It's called Ziyan. ”
"Eh, don't call me master, call me Ye Xuan."
Ye Xuan signed a contract with the purple-haired woman, firstly to save people, and secondly, to add a general to his side, but he really didn't have any dirty ideas.
In two lives, no woman has ever called him like this, let alone a goddess-level beauty, being called like this, Ye Xuan was a little embarrassed for a while.
Zi Yan didn't talk much after all, and Ye Xuan was not a person who would stir up a topic, so he didn't continue to talk.
Instead, Ye Xuan took out the mount token that had just been exposed.
Silently used, a black light suddenly shone out from the mount token, fell to the ground, and in the blink of an eye, a skeleton war horse composed of silver-white bones appeared in front of Ye Xuan's eyes.
Although the bones of this skeleton war horse are more shiny, and it looks more divine than ordinary bone horses, but after all, it is a batch of bone horses, Ye Xuan frowned a little, the puppet demon that he would work so hard to kill, and the mount that burst out was only a little better than the war horse of the undead knight.
Moreover, the entire lord-level undead didn't even reveal their equipment skills, which made Ye Xuan extremely unhappy, but he didn't know that just a follower contract document was already worth the value of a lord monster.
If it weren't for the fact that this kind of follower contract document was too precious, how could this sheltered town where Ye Xuan was in the previous life not even have a follower!
However, after riding the skeleton war horse, the depressed color on Ye Xuan's face all faded, revealing joy, as soon as he pulled the reins, the yuan force was injected, and the skeleton war horse galloped wildly, and the surrounding scenery quickly retreated, and its speed was two or three times faster than Ye Xuan's own running at full speed.
Moreover, the more refined the Yuan Force injected by the player, the faster it can be improved, that is, even with the improvement of Ye Xuan's strength. This skeleton war horse can still play a great role.
This surprised Ye Xuan. Mount minions are too rare, though they don't have much combat power on their own. But in the last days, a life-saving prop is definitely much more precious than a combat prop!
Then, looking around, Ye Xuan put away the skeleton war horse, after all, this is the beginning of the alien beast mountain range, and it is easy to encounter powerful alien beasts when scurrying around.
Then, Ye Xuan frowned. When he was chasing the puppet demon just now, although he was lucky enough to not encounter a powerful beast, because the pursuit was too urgent, he also forgot the way he came, and couldn't help but ask the purple-haired woman beside him, "Ziyan, do you remember where we came from?" ”
Ziyan frowned. After a while, he finally shook his head.
"Forget it, let's go straight to the periphery." After thinking about it, Ye Xuan couldn't help it. At this time, he couldn't go back to the collapsed valley, so he could only discern the direction and walk towards the outside of the Alien Beast Mountain Range. Presumably Zhou Ping and a few of them, after they couldn't find themselves. They will also rush to the outside.
Along the way, the scenery is almost the same. Ye Xuan walked in front, and Zi Yan followed closely behind without saying a word.
Suddenly, Ye Xuan remembered the scene before, when Zi Yan's skill had barely cooled down, and the sword qi lotus flower shot out one after another, he turned his head and asked Zi Yan, "Zi Yan, what's the matter with your skill, have you reached full mastery of proficiency?" ”
Zi Yan shook his head, still in that cold tone, "No, Lord...... Ye Xuan, when you activate the skill, how does Yuan Li feel. ”
Ye Xuan probably knew this, but he didn't particularly feel it, hearing this, the Chiyan Sword appeared in his hand, and a layer of scarlet light appeared on the sword's body, while Ye Xuan himself closed his eyes and quietly felt the situation in his body.
Yuan Li automatically flowed, outlining a mysterious pattern in the body, and at the moment when the pattern was completed, a scarlet cross slash flew out from the sword, cutting off a large tree not far away.
The big tree suddenly fell beside Ye Xuan, but Ye Xuan didn't pay any attention to it, and said to the people around him, "Yuan Li automatically circulated, and after the skill was issued, the mysterious pattern outlined by Yuan Li gradually faded, but ...... If the cooldown time of the skill is not reached, if you use the skill again, the yuan power in your body will not automatically flow no matter what. ”
"That's right, that kind of mysterious pattern is called skill runes, but our skill runes are outlined by controlling Yuan Force by themselves, which is different from yours."
"Just like this......" A silver thin sword appeared in Zi Yan's hand, her wrist was slightly raised, the yuan force flowed, and a white lotus flower slowly appeared on the sword, and with her slight wave, the lotus flower flew out, cutting off the broken tree trunk in front of her.
After swinging a white lotus sword flower, the purple-haired woman did not stop, the speed was neither fast nor slow, and the sword flowers flew out one after another, filling the surrounding ground with pits.
Ye Xuan nodded thoughtfully, that is to say, "Your skills, the flow of Yuan Force are all controlled by yourself, so there is no so-called cooldown time at all, but...... We players, it's very difficult to learn to control the route of the circulation of Yuan Li by ourselves, right? ”
It is not difficult for Ye Xuan, who has a lot of experience in the previous life, to control Yuan Li, but the graphics of the skill rune are very complex, as long as there is a trace of error when outlining, the skill will not be formed, and because of its mysterious characteristics, even if the player carefully perceives the rune, it is still difficult to remember what it looks like.
"Of course." Zi Yan nodded, "We can't use the skill book to learn skills directly, every skill has to be learned slowly from scratch, ordinary people, without a few months, it is impossible to use skills proficiently, and when encountering some high-level skills, the time it takes will be longer." ”
Ye Xuan frowned, if the skills are learned independently, there will be no cooldown time, maybe even the skill bar will not be occupied, but not to mention whether there is anyone to teach, let's just say that in the last days, players simply do not have so much time to learn skills, even if it really takes a few months to learn, its cost performance is too low.
Zi Yan also knew Ye Xuan's thoughts, and after becoming a follower, she also hoped that Ye Xuan would mix better, thought about it, and said, "I have heard that when a skill is activated, the Yuan Force automatically outlines the moment of the skill rune, controls its own Yuan Force, crushes it, and then according to the inertia of its circulation, it is possible to perceive the circulation rules of the skill in an instant. ”
This method was once talked about by Ziyan, because it didn't have any effect on her, so she didn't care about it at the time, and she wasn't sure if it was true or false, but she didn't expect to have an intersection with the player at this time, and even became a follower of the player.
"However, once the perception fails, the skill will disappear from now on and cannot be used again, and this disappearing skill still occupies a skill position, and this skill column can either be removed with the water of oblivion, or, you can only find a copy of the same skill book to cover it."
The Forgotten Water washes away the skills in the skill slot, allowing the player to relearn another skill. This kind of thing is very precious, which means that once it fails, the entire skill slot is almost useless.
But...... Ye Xuan hesitated for a while, but still decided to try, not for anything else, but to break through himself.
Moreover, the skill that Ye Xuan is ready to try is the cross slash, this skill is no longer of much help to himself so far, even if he fails, the price can be afforded, and once he succeeds, the cross slash without cooldown time will be of great use.
Moreover, if what Zi Yan said is true, he will be more sure of himself if he tries a skill that has reached the mastery level of proficiency.
Waiting for the cooldown time of the skill to pass, Ye Xuan closed his eyes and slowly activated the skill.
The yuan force in the body is still converging towards the lower abdomen, and the yuan forces are gathered together, and they begin to outline a mysterious pattern, one stroke, one stroke, Ye Xuan controls the output speed of his yuan force, making it very slow and slow, and he is slowly feeling.
Finally, the mysterious pattern was about to be completely constructed, Ye Xuan's eyes opened suddenly, blooming with a fine light, and inside the invisible body, a mysterious skill rune exploded with a bang!
After the skill rune exploded, the circulating Yuan Force began to dissipate, but relying on inertia, it was still struggling to draw the last stroke.
At this moment, after the framework of the skill rune exploded, Ye Xuan's feeling of the skill was unprecedentedly clear, and the perception brought by the mastery-level proficiency suddenly rushed to his mind.
The palm of his hand was clenched, the long sword was raised, and in an instant, a scarlet cross light swung out, and the cross light cut through the air and shot out. It's just Ye Xuan, but he can clearly see that this cross light is a little scattered, and it is not as solid as before, and its power is only seven or eight tenths at most compared to before.
But it was still enough, Ye Xuan didn't dare to waste time, he quickly calmed down and comprehended, controlled the flow of the yuan force in his body to the established direction, and slowly outlined it according to the pattern he had just felt in his mind. (To be continued.) )
