451 Weak as a minion
Ten minutes later, all the skeletons present were shattered. Just as Xu Xiaomin breathed a sigh of relief, he heard the woman say, "It's not safe here, we have to leave quickly." ”
After she said this, she came to the corpse she had been dragging in the first place, and she looked at the corpse with a sad expression, and then said, "Brother, I can't take you back, you can only rest here in peace." ”
With that, she took a small box from her bosom, from which she scooped out a little bit of grease-like stuff and smeared it on the corpse. Then she lit the fire fold and set the corpse on fire.
As if the grease had been smeared, the corpse burned so quickly that after a few minutes, the corpse was reduced to ashes. And the woman bowed to the remaining ashes, and then said to Xu Xiaomin: "Let's go, it's going to be dark soon, and if we can't go back after dark, we will be in danger." ”
Hearing this, Xu Xiaomin's heart was also tight, and he hurriedly followed.
The two of them immediately left here, and Xu Xiaomin also asked, "Girl, are you from Caizhi Dong?" ”
The woman nodded and said, "I'm from Caizhi Dong, who are you?" ”
When Xu Xiaomin heard this answer, his heart was also relieved, this girl should be a quest NPC, so he said: "I'm also going to Caizhi Dong, I'm going to go to the Spider Mother Quasi-Sage." ”
The two had not gone long before the girl stopped and looked in one direction warily. And then a man came out in that direction.
The man had a rudimentary bow in his hand, and was now looking at them with a crossbow very wary. However, Xu Xiaomin looked at it carefully, and then said, "Hi, friend." You're a gamer, right? ”
The man looked at Xu Xiaomin, and also laughed and said, "I'll just say it, you don't look like an NPC." What's wrong? You're still teaming up with NPCs? ”
Xu Xiaomin nodded and said, "I suddenly encountered a wild monster on the road, if it weren't for the help of this female NPC, I might have hung up." ”
When the man heard this, he nodded and said, "Yes, I also met a group of skeletons on the way, if I didn't have some skills, I guess I would have hung up." As he spoke, he raised his crossbow in his hand.
Seeing this bow and crossbow, Xu Xiaomin immediately asked, "You made this bow and crossbow?" ”
The man nodded a little smugly and said, "Yes, I made a bow and crossbow from Takumu I met on the road." "Takogany is tough and makes it a good material for bowmaking, and it can also be kneaded into rope and used as a bowstring for bows and arrows.
As soon as Xu Xiaomin heard his words, he knew that he had met a handicraft boss, and he said with some envy: "You don't have any tools in your hand, and you can even cut wood to make a bow." ”
The man smiled and said, "I found a piece of gravel in the woods, just enough to make a stone axe." And I also found cinnabar, so I dug some cinnabar. ”
Hearing this, Xu Xiaomin said with admiration: "Big brother's hands-on ability is really strong, you just rely on those cinnabar to repel the skeletons." ”
Cinnabar is a sunshine mineral, and smearing it with cinnabar mixed with beast blood can cause additional damage to ghost skeletons. It is also with these things that the handmade boss in front of him can rely on a simple bow and crossbow to kill a group of skeletons.
Although players don't have equipment and cultivation now, they can still make a lot of things with their previous game knowledge.
So Xu Xiaomin said: "Big brother, this NPC is Caizhi Dong, we can go to Caizhi Dong by following her, why don't we team up together." ”
The handicraft boss nodded, and then said, "Okay, that's it." However, the party system is not open now, and it is estimated that it will only be opened if you join the camp, so we should be careful. ”
If you don't have a team system, you can attack each other. It's not that I'm afraid of putting a cold gun in the back of my teammates, but I'm afraid that if I hurt the other party, this sword and bow won't have long eyes.
The two players chatted briefly for a while, and then decided to act together, and then followed the girl of Caiori Dong and marched towards Caizhi Dong together.
The three of them advanced for a while, and then they heard shouting. They follow the sound and discover that two players are being attacked by a group of skeletons. The two players were holding wooden sticks, covering each other back to back, and they were also amazed when they saw Xu Xiaomin and them coming.
"Friends over there, can you save us?"
Xu Xiaomin and the handicraft boss glanced at each other, and there was nothing to say, so they immediately joined the battle.
I saw that the handmade guy was holding a bow and crossbow and shooting again and again, and his crossbow arrows were smeared with cinnabar, and the cinnabar that was just to the sun shot at the skeleton, and it could always explode a ball of fire on the skeleton.
And the top of the wooden stick in Xu Xiaomin's hand was also smeared with some cinnabar, becoming a simple cinnabar stick, he picked up the weapon and hit the skeleton, only two or three sticks were needed to solve a skeleton, if there was no cinnabar blessing, he would need at least seven or eight sticks to knock the skeleton apart.
And the girl who was weaving Dong didn't do anything at this time, just looking at their group. Everyone also understands that NPCs, it's normal not to help fight monsters.
There is a lot of strength in numbers, and the four of them cooperate with each other to quickly break these skeletons to pieces.
As a result, the number of people in the team is +2.
The handmade boss shared some cinnabar for them to 'enchant' weapons, and now although the weapons are simple, they are at least lethal.
After a brief rest, everyone continues on the road (mission). Then, not long after, I met a lone player again.
More than 10 million players are scattered in an area of 10,000 square kilometers, which roughly calculates that it is 1,000 people per square kilometer. It is equivalent to 1,000 people in an area of one kilometer in length and width, and the population density is actually very dense. And the player's goal is the same, they are all moving towards the color weaving Dong. So it's normal to run into players along the way.
So the number went from 1 to 2, then from 2 to 4, and from 4 to 8, and by the afternoon there were twenty or thirty people in the procession. With so many people, those skeleton mobs are not worth fearing, and everyone is much more relaxed.
The main focus of the player group is that one person is more powerful.
However, there is another problem with the large number of people, that is, the speed of the team is greatly slowed down. There are many people, there are many troubles, and the goal has become bigger, plus from time to time to fight monsters and add people, and it has not yet reached Caiweaving Dong, and the sky has darkened.
When the sky darkened, the woman who led the way became a little anxious, and she said, "When it gets dark, the ghosts will come out of the shadows." In the past, we were not afraid, after all, we didn't conflict with each other, but after the spider mother became holy, the ghost king continued to harass us Caizhi Dong, this ghost thing is to kill people when they see them, everyone should be careful. ”
Hearing the NPC explain the 'mission background', everyone just listened casually, unless the plot is dedicated to the party, otherwise few people care about this kind of thing, and most players only care about the rewards and promotions after the mission is over.
Seeing that everyone was not in a hurry, this girl from Caizhi Dong was a little anxious. She is mainly reluctant to let so many men...... There are more women than men in Caiweaving, and it will be good for these men to bring them back.
Just when the girl was in a hurry, there was a rustling sound in the mountains and forests, and the mountains and forests, which were still a little noisy, suddenly became quiet. This kind of silence is like a prelude to the attack of ghosts in a horror movie, and the atmosphere is full at once.
All the players also felt an inexplicable nervousness at this time, which was the reaction of normal people when they encountered ghosts. People are yang creatures, and ghosts are made of yin, and when yin and yang collide, there will always be some reaction.
Ghostly shadows appeared in the dense forest, and clusters of ghost fire also appeared out of thin air, illuminating the surrounding forests even darker and more terrifying.
"It's coming!" The girl of Caizhi Dong exhaled, and immediately took out a spirit card from her arms, and then held it in her hand and muttered: "The ancestors are blessed, and all evil will not invade." ”
The token in her hand emitted a faint glow, and the light illuminated her three feet around her, forming a barrier. The people at this barrier only felt a cold wind blowing, and then a little coolness rose.
Those who are not protected by this light are like falling into an ice cave, and their whole body is so cold that their teeth tremble and their bodies tremble! There were even a few players who immediately fell soft and turned into starlight.
"! It's a yin attack! Everyone stimulates qi and blood and activates the body protection ......" Before he finished speaking, the person who spoke scolded loudly: "Damn, I forgot that I didn't cultivate!" ”
As he spoke, he hurriedly took out the tuber of a plant from his bosom and bit it. This is Yang Jiang, Yang means that this thing is full of Yang energy, and Jiang can dispel evil winds and dispel the cold brought by Yin Qi. After this mouthful of yang ginger, he felt a little better, and there was a slight warmth in the palms of his hands and feet.
This ginger was collected by him, and in the game, he is also a collection boss.
After eating yang ginger, this can only cure the symptoms, and he immediately rushed towards the NPC's protective circle.
Yang Jiang bought him a little time, and he also squeezed next to the NPC. Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he found that they were surrounded by countless ghosts.
Seeing this scene, the girl of Caizhi Dong looked a little bitter. I should have left these men behind and ran away by myself. However, she was reluctant......
"Guys, what's the solution?" The players are not afraid of death, they are only afraid that the task will not be completed, so they start to discuss.
But what can they do, they have only been in the New World for a few hours, they have not cultivated, they have no equipment, they are not even familiar with the place, if they are given a day or two, this situation is guaranteed to be different!
"If you can't do it, you can fight! It's a big deal to wait a day or two for resurrection time! Someone gritted his teeth and said.
Missions are not completed, there are no binding factions, their resurrection time is very long, it takes a day or two in the real world, this has already been tried. It's quite unbearable for these players to be a day or two behind, and it will be out of the mainstream.
"I've got some cinnabar, mixed with blood, but I can deal with a few ghosts." The handmade boss said suddenly.
"I have a few yang gingers, and eating them can resist the yin qi."
"I picked up a few pieces of Shoushan Copper Mine on the road, and it's too late to build things, but Shoushan Copper can break evil spirits, and it should be of some use."
"I'm holding a peachwood stick......"
"I have a black suede ......"
"I have two taels of Kun blood......"
Like garbage guys, players began to take stock of the materials in their hands, which, combined with NPCs, should allow three or five people to escape from the encirclement of this ghost. But how do you choose these three or five people?
"Roll it. The people with the highest points survive! "Someone said.
It's best to be silent. So everyone came to a quick roll point, and Xu Xiaomin was relieved to see that he was 99 points.
He glanced at it, and the handmade boss next to him only rolled up to 23 points, and his face was a little depressed, so he handed the bow and crossbow in his hand to Xu Xiaomin and said, "If you know one, this bow and crossbow will be given to you." ”
Xu Xiaomin hurriedly took it and said, "Thank you, big brother, let's add a friend, and when you are resurrected, we will upgrade together." The handicraft boss nodded, and chatted with him about friends.
The function of adding friends is not a game function, but is built into the game's fog chat system. The game is very hardcore, and most of the time the news has to be passed on by flying swords.
Seeing that a nickname called 'Love Lollipop' was successfully added as a friend, Xu Xiaomin couldn't help but say: "Big brother, your name is too cute." ”
The eldest brother blushed slightly, and then said, "This is what my daughter gave me, she likes to eat lollipops, but my wife always refuses to give it to her." ”
At this moment, it is a bit like the last words between comrades-in-arms, and the friendship between gamers is sometimes established so easily.
In the end, only five survivors were chosen, and most of the supplies were handed over to them, and with these things, plus the protection of the NPCs, it should be possible to get through this level.
The other players cheered each other off, then laughed and rushed towards the ghosts. Even if you want to hang, hang decently!
The girl of Cai Zhidong was stunned when she saw this scene, and then the remaining five players, including Xu Xiaomin, said to her: "Girl, time waits for no one, let's run away." ”
There are only five people in front of him, and the difficulty is greatly reduced, the girl of Caizhi Dong nodded, and then said, "Follow me!" ”
Under the protection of the ancestors' spiritual light, the six people continued to rush towards Caizhi Dong. And those ghosts quickly dealt with the players who rushed up, and continued to rush towards the six of them.
The players took a bite of yang ginger, recovered a little yang energy, and then took cinnabar and Shoushan copper ore and threw them at those ghosts. Although these things are simple, they are professional counterparts in dealing with these ghosts.
Of course, their biggest reliance is on the protection of this NPC.
In the dark mountains and forests, everyone ran wildly. When someone was running wildly, he fell into the cliff as if he had a field. Some people are gradually falling behind because of physical exhaustion in the wild running.
In the end, there were only three people following the NPC. One of them is Xu Xiaomin. And Xu Xiaomin was also out of breath at the moment, and his lungs were like worn-out bellows, giving out an overwhelmed gasp. At this moment, he remembered the 5,000-meter run he participated in when he was in college. It was the only sport he went to for his first love.
In the end, he ran fifth and didn't get the ranking, but he hugged the beauty.
'Have you ever fought for someone?' A sentence popped into his head.
"Grass! it! Xu Xiaomin couldn't help but burst out with a foul mouth!
