Chapter 212: Selfish Villager
Zhu Yingying and Yu Fei respectively used this high-grade spirit stone on their [Spirit Stone] system, and they couldn't help but swallow their saliva after seeing the dazzling list of spell skills.
Zhu Yingying looked more closely than Yu Fei, and she seemed to find that the attributes placed by the spirit stones would correspond to the attributes that appeared in the list on the left. So she simply put them in the positions of different attributes one by one and tried them, and when she tried them one by one, she probably had a cognition in her heart, and then she took down the spirit stone.
"It seems that only the spirit stone of the corresponding attribute can use the spell of the corresponding attribute, and now the magic power of this spirit stone is insufficient, even if there is a list that can be used when it is lit up, the remaining spiritual power can be used once or twice."
Yun Xiao looked at the spirit stone that shimmered with a faint light: "It doesn't seem like a problem, we are already so embarrassed when we encounter these wolves today, if we escort Aland into the fog, it will only be even worse." And this spirit stone is obviously not going to hold out until we come back."
Zhu Yingying frowned: "Then what should I do, I see that the old man is hesitant, saying that he is going to borrow a spirit stone, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to lend a few pieces overnight."
Yun Xiao pursed his lips and was silent, Lu Beixi waved his hand to summon the map, he raised his hand to measure the location of the spirit stones of the remaining three towers, and then said:
"If one of the four spirit stones is missing, this side will become a gap, today it is just these twenty or so plain wolves coming here to test, and tomorrow it is very likely that a large number of wild monsters will pour into this field from the plains. Under this circumstances, Giethoorn will not even last a day before it will be destroyed."
Yu Fei got up and said, "Why don't we go back and talk to the village chief and mobilize the villagers?"
Yun Xiao said: "In the middle of the night, let's just talk about it, it is estimated that people don't even bother to open the door."
Zhu Yingying asked, "What should I do then? Didn't the village chief say that he would borrow it, so that he wouldn't be so picky and couldn't borrow a single one, right?"
Yun Xiao shook his head and said, "If my guess is correct, tomorrow morning, the village chief can give one of us a spirit stone is already the top of the sky, but according to the current point of view, a primary spirit stone is useless at all, at most it can open the first spell in the LISt list you see, although this kind of spell can also cause damage to wild monsters, but it is meaningless, it is better to use a gun."
Zhu Yingying asked, "So?"
Yun Xiao looked at the wild wolf outside the crack in the door and gradually probed towards the interior of the field, Lu Beixi waved his hand and closed the map, and also looked at the door:
"Therefore, people will only choose the lesser of two powers when their own interests are threatened, if the plains wolf does not kill them. I'm afraid it's hard to make up the spirit stones in the village."
Yun Xiao and Lu Beixi glanced at each other, and it seemed that their thoughts coincided.
Lu Beixi coughed and continued:
"The spirit stone has been taken down, and the wild monsters are bound to harass Giethoorn Village tonight, what we can do now is to divide the troops into four ways, all the way with this high-grade spirit stone with remaining spiritual power, follow the wild monsters back to the village to rescue, and force them to take out the spirit stone to save their lives. The other three roads are to fetch the high-grade spirit stones on the other three watchtowers."
Yu Fei's eyes widened: "Isn't it, Lao Lu, are you planning to break the jar and directly unload all the high-grade spirit stones that Giethoorn Village relies on for survival?!"
Zhu Yingying patted him on the back:
"How can you speak, how can Brother Lu do this!"
Yu Fei glared: "Then why did you demolish the other three, if you take it down, this Giethoorn Village will be even more finished."
Lu Beixi didn't argue, Yun Xiao squatted down, found a useless wooden stick and drew it on the ground.
Starting from the center of Giethoorn, the sticks draw four dots, each representing the four watchtowers. She then sketches four lines connecting the dots in a fluid line, forming a quadrilateral shape that is not very regular.
"Assuming that this is Giethoorn Village in the middle, and the four points around it are watchtowers, then you see, the range of the spirit stones is basically such a length and radius, which should be the maximum range that these spirit stones can form a connection with each other. Now that one of them is about to run out of energy, we have to change the formation from a quadrilateral to a triangle in order to make sure that the other three can be used to the fullest."
Yun Xiao said, and then
Continue to change the structure on the diagram, adjusting the original quadrilateral shape into a compact and stable triangle. The triangle is very compact, and it directly encloses the circular village in the middle, which represents Giethoorn.
Compared to the previous range, it looks cramped and narrow.
"Although the scope of protection will be smaller after the change, but, in an emergency, in this way, we will go out with Aland and come back, and there will be enough time."
Yu Fei nodded: "It works, but only you can go up to the tower, how can we go up?"
Yun Xiao walked to the door and showed him the old lock:
"If I hadn't seen the old lock like this, I wouldn't even have to climb the tower."
A few people took a closer look, only to find that the lock of the watchtower was still the kind of old-fashioned door lock, and it would rot after two shots with a gun, Zhu Yingying remembered the passionate scene of the four of them fighting the plain wolf just now, and the corners of her mouth twitched:
"If I knew it would be so easy to open, you wouldn't have to run around with those wolves."
Lu Beixi sighed, and then handed the high-grade spirit stone to Zhu Yingying:
"Zhu Yingying, the task of lobbying the villagers will be left to you."
Zhu Yingying pointed to herself: "Me? Brother Lu, you think too highly of me, don't you?"
Yufei shrugged:
"Don't shirk it, you saw that you had this skill when you were fighting against NPCs in the weapon shop in Guild Town."
Zhu Yingying remembered that when the food Grand Prix was about to open the box, she went to the union town and had a big fight with the owner of the weapon shop.
Yun Xiao listened to Yu Fei tell what happened, and couldn't help but admire Zhu Yingying a little in her heart, after all, if it wasn't for Chai Xiaoqi, she would have almost gnawed with her teeth. Since she has this talent, it is better to make the best use of it and let her take the high-grade spirit stone back to the village to rescue the villagers.
Zhu Yingying nodded, and then pressed the high-grade spirit stone into the dial of her [Spirit Stone] system.
"The plain wolf belongs to the thunder system, in this system, the water system is the thunder, then I will use the water system, and the water system will also be treated."
After saying this, the four men slowly opened the gate of the watchtower, and the dull doorway made a slight sound.
At this time, there was no trace of the plain wolf outside the door, and it was estimated that it was towards Giethoorn Village.
Yun Xiao told Zhu Yingying: "There is not much spiritual power in the high-grade spirit stone, you can use it yourself."
Zhu Yingying patted the dial of her [Spirit Stone] system:
"Don't worry, if those villagers who are slamming the door don't hand over the spirit stone, I won't use it."
Yun Xiao glanced at her: "It's okay, don't be so extreme, right?"
Zhu Yingying sneered: "Hehe, you don't know how cunning this group of NPCs is, unless they have to, they will stay out of the matter one by one."
Yun Xiao looked at Yu Fei: "Has she been hurt by NPC?"
Yu Fei pursed his lips and said in a low voice, "Let's just say that, the commercial shops in the middle of the union town have basically been smashed by her."
Yun Xiao leaned back, this is a bit outrageous.
I wish Yingying a white glance at Yufei:
"To do business, you have to be like doing business, a clothing store that doesn't allow you to try it on, a furniture store that doesn't give a discount, a weapon store that has tools for repairs but doesn't have the tools to help open boxes? I've found out that there are some things that this group of NPCs can't do, but they need to be trained."
Yun Xiao couldn't help but admire: "So, later, the clothing store in the union town let me try it on?"
Yu Fei smiled and said in a low voice, "It's just that the tried ones are sold at a second-hand discount, but the business seems to be hotter."
Yun Xiao seemed to have learned something, and patted Zhu Yingying:
"The future is immeasurable, go ahead, and leave that group of villagers to you to train."
As the moonlight peeked out of the thick clouds, a patch of silver fell over the field.
The howl of wolves not far away echoed in the night sky, and the four of them silently stared at the mountain village in the distance, until the lights gradually turned on there, and the four exchanged tacit glances with each other.
Without words, everyone scattered directly according to the map instructions,
After a while, the four shadows melted into the night.
At this time, no one knew that the high-grade spirit stone that originally guarded Sheephorn Village was missing, and in Sheephorn Village, a group of villagers held torches and looked at the wolves outside the village with solemn expressions.
The faint light of the torches flickered, exuding a faint warmth, yet this faint glow seemed so insignificant in the anxious and solemn atmosphere.
The village chief stood in front of the crowd, he looked at the pair of green eyes outside the village, the fine beads of sweat sliding down his forehead highlighted his inner impatience, and the wrinkles on his brows could almost become a ball.
"This is really bad, I said a long time ago that this spirit stone won't last long, and you still don't believe it!"
The village chief's voice was low and urgent in the night, and his eyes were solemn in the firelight.
Hearing this, several families who had been visited around all lowered their heads.
They originally thought that it would take some time for the spirit stone to run out, and there must be a way to solve it in the village, but who knew that it would be so fast, and this fire would burn to the village.
At this moment, a wild wolf led by him took two steps forward, raised his head and let out a deafening howl.
Suddenly, the wolves in the night also shouted.
The grass was stumbling all around, and you could vaguely see beasts taller than the wolves coming out of the grass.
The green eyes of these beasts revealed ferocity, and everyone felt that their scalps tightened, and some children were directly frightened and cried when they saw it, and they were hugged by adults and covered their mouths.
The villagers looked at each other, anxiety and panic converging in their eyes.
One of the young men looked incredulous:
"These wild monsters are obviously trapped in the mist, how could they enter the wilderness, and the spirit stones are depleted so quickly?"
The man who spoke was none other than Aland, who had recently returned from the Western Plains, and he had seen these monsters from afar.
Another villager chimed in:
"Otherwise, why would the village chief go door-to-door in the middle of the night to ask for spirit stones? It's all like this, and one by one is still babyish!"
Someone winced:
"But these spirit stones are usually used by me to make a fire for warmth, how can I deal with this situation."
"That's right, this spirit stone in my family has been passed down for three generations, and we don't know if there is still spiritual power, it's just an ornament......
"My man still has to rely on the spirit stone to cut firewood in the forest, how can he ...... after he borrows it?"
The village chief looked at the beasts outside the village and snorted angrily:
"After that, let's see if we can survive today!"
"At this time, everyone should stop talking nonsense, and all the people in the family who know how to do magic will stand up! There was still a spirit stone shelter on the south side of the village, and they didn't dare to get too deep, the young and magicians were in the way, and the women and children immediately evacuated from the south!"
Seeing that the beasts outside were about to rush in, as he spoke, more than a dozen young and middle-aged people with spirit stones at home walked out of the crowd.
However, everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and they all cowered and didn't dare to step forward.
Giethoorn was a nomad in the early years, and it was impossible for the family to have no inheritance, but after so many years of stability, these spells have long since declined, and I don't know if they can hold on.
As the wild wolves outside the village howled, before everyone could react, they saw countless black shadows attacking the village.
A group of villagers were busy using unfamiliar spells.
"Fireball!"
"Wind Blade!"
"No! I can't beat ...... at all."
Anna, the shepherdess who had already heard the sound, shook her head, lowered her head and played the flute.
The beast below was partially disturbed by the sound of the flute, which saved a few villagers. However, as soon as one was saved, the other was pounced.
In a few moments, the whole village was bloodstained like a human purgatory, and a disgusting smell filled the air.
As soon as Zhu Yingying ran to the entrance of Giethoorn Village, she saw a tragic scene.
The monsters brutally gnawed at the villagers, and the villagers were helpless
The ground struggled, and the spells in his hands were simply not effective against the beast's attack.
Before even a fireball could ignite, it was slapped down on the muddy ground by a raging beast.
Zhu Yingying clenched the spirit stone in her hand and felt its weak energy, the plain wolves were not afraid of this spirit stone, which showed how weak the spiritual power of this high-grade spirit stone was.
At this time, looking at the list of LISt lists, Zhu Yingying reluctantly found that the spiritual power was only enough to support a maximum of two spells, but the situation at this time could not allow her to hesitate.
said that if she didn't give the spirit stone, she wouldn't use it, if this group of villagers died, who would she ask for the spirit stone.
Two is two, and it's not that she can't fight, it's a big deal that she still has a gun!
Without hesitation, she quickly clicked on a water-based group attack, the Frost Arrow Rain, targeting all non-human creatures.
As she waved her hand, the air around her gradually condensed into droplets, forming a floating vapor high above her.
Seeing the water droplets slowly rising upward, in the blink of an eye, countless ice arrows stood out from the water droplets, revealing ice arrows as sharp as steel needles.
As Zhu Yingying walked towards the village step by step, the countless arrow rain swept down in an instant, directly piercing the body of the wild monster, and the piercing sound of ice cracking shocked everyone, and they couldn't help but look at the entrance of the village.
Someone recognized Zhu Yingying and couldn't help shouting happily:
"You see, it's the adventurer who came to settle down two days ago, and this is a high-level spell! We are saved!"
Seeing a fish that slipped through the net climb up to the top, he was about to pounce on Anna.
Zhu Yingying raised her gun and knocked the wild monster away, Anna was startled, and was relieved to see that Zhu Yingying was back.
Zhu Yingying didn't have time to pay attention to her, just looked at the mess all over the ground, and probably knew that most of the villagers who resisted in front were seriously injured.
Zhu Yingying sighed and looked at the beasts behind her.
Just when everyone thought that she would use high-level spells again to save everyone, they saw that she suddenly broke up, and actually walked directly past everyone and walked towards the south of the village.
The originally excited villagers were stunned:
"You, won't you save us?"
Zhu Yingying paused in her footsteps and looked back at them:
"Huh? I don't have a spirit stone, how can I save it?"
"But didn't you just use a spell!"
Zhu Yingying nodded, and then handed over a "trickle streamer" recovery technique, saving all the injured people at the entrance of the village.
"I'll just say, don't be kidding when it's so dangerous......
Just when everyone was expressing their gratitude, they saw that Zhu Yingying directly deducted the depleted high-grade spirit stone from the dial of the [Spirit Stone] system and threw it to the ground in front of everyone.
"Well, it's all gone now, so here's all of you, please have spirit stones!"
After speaking, Zhu Yingying bowed deeply to everyone, and then turned around and ran.
