Chapter 57: The Trial Begins
Heavy Punch soon finds the goblin's matchmaker, Sandbank.
"I already know about you, and when I meet the people of the Star Chaser Tribe, you can tell them the words prepared in advance, and my task will be completed, as for whether you can become a shaman, it depends on your luck!"
She is a material merchant who travels between Thunder Cliff and Ratchet City, and is mainly responsible for the purchase of daily consumables in Thunder Cliff, so she has a good relationship with the goblin merchants in Ratchet City.
This time, in order to repay the favor, she brought this minotaur who had been abducted and trafficked by humans for more than ten years back to Thunder Cliff, and brought him to the shaman professional family Chaxing Family, trying to see if she could make him advance to a shaman.
"Well, thank you for your help."
...
"Come here, my child, I heard that you have suffered a lot on the human side, but it would be nice to be back!" An old minotaur shaman, with a kind smile on his face, beckoned a heavy punch.
When Heavy Punch approached him, Old Man Boram looked at him carefully.
"Hehe, you're level 29, it seems that you are still a very hard working child. I've heard that your father instructed you to take up the shamanic profession before he died, so let's start now! ”
"Put your hand on this."
Beside Boram was a beautiful crystal ball, which had the same effect as the talent ball that Sun Buyi had used in Ironforge.
Heavy Punch walked over and placed his hand on it, and soon the inside of the crystal ball began to change.
The first to appear was the earthy yellow elemental light, followed by the blue ice, the red fire, the cyan wind, and the green wood.
Eventually, even the silver thunderbolt appeared.
Old Minotaur Bram was not surprised to see these elemental lights, he had seen countless Minotaur geniuses in his life, and it was not for nothing that there were cows with all the talents of the shaman.
"Okay, my child, thank Mother Earth for protecting you, you have the talent of the Dharma system, and you are all of it, but if you want to become a shaman, you must be recognized by Mother Earth."
Punch mooed loudly with excitement, he's coming to the right place! Unexpectedly, as the boss said, he has the talent to become a shaman.
"Go find Namu in Bloodhoof Village, and he'll guide you through the rest. It's too late today, though, and if you don't have a place to stay yet, then you can spend the night in Soul Heights tonight. ”
He bowed down to thank the old cow Boram, and then he was taken out.
Early the next morning, Heavy Punch was sent to Bloodhoof Village.
"Your willingness to protect Thunder Bluff and your desire to learn new knowledge is enough to show that you have noble qualities, heavy punches. I believe that one day you will become a famous shaman in Thunder Bluff.
But before you can do that, you must first complete the Mother Earth Rite, a great tradition that consists of three different trials.
The first trial is the Ritual of Strength. Go to the Grey-Tongue Prophet and tell him that Chief Hawkwind sent you.
After climbing the hill directly south of the camp in Narach, you will find his abode. ”
Namu is the grandson of the old bull of Bolam, and when he sees Heavy Punch, he gives him a task, which is the prelude to the shamanic profession.
Soon Punch met the Greytongue Prophet.
"Was it the Eaglewind Chieftain who sent you? The Mother Earth Ritual is no small matter......"
Seeing the heavy punch, the Grey-Tongued Prophet was stunned for a moment, it was the first time he had seen a level 29 minotaur come to him for a ritual, and in the past, he had come here with some calves less than level 10.
However, whether the level is high or not, this has nothing to do with the Mother Earth Sacrifice, so after being stunned for a moment, he began to give Heavy Punch instructions for the next step.
"The Mother Earth Ritual is very important to every young Minotaur who wants to be honored in Thunder Bluffs. But before that, you must first pass the trials of the Ritual of Strength. In this trial, you must prove your mettle by killing the enemies of your clan. ”
"The Thornback Boar People who live in the Thornblade Canyon to the east have encroached on a lot of our tribe's land, raiding our hunting squads and stealing from the village at night. Kill them and show your bravery. Take their belts to the chief of Narach's camp and he will prove that you have passed the trial. ”
The quest requires punching to kill enough boarmen and claim their belts.
For these little monsters who are less than level ten, the heavy punch has exceeded the task in less than ten minutes, and when he finds the chief with a large pile of belts, they are still eating breakfast.
Chief Eagle Wind was very happy to see the heavy punch carrying a large number of boar man belts: "That's a lot of speed, I just received a notification that someone is coming to pass the Shaman Class Trial, and you've completed your mission and come back!" Congratulations! You have passed the first trial of the Mother Earth Rite, and the tribe will be proud of you. ”
Heavy Punch is also very happy, as long as he completes a few more tasks, he will be able to participate in the official professional trial.
"However, you still have to follow the relevant procedures before becoming a professional, so are you ready to accept the second assignment?"
"To continue the Mother Earth ritual, you must first pass two minor trials. Now is the time for you to accumulate experience, punch. ”
"Go to Bloodhoof Village and find the chief there, Bane Bloodhoof, the son of Kane. There you can continue your adventure and be recognized by the elders of Thunder Bluff. Bring this totem to Bane. He will read the symbols I have engraved on it and help you continue your practice. Hurry up and follow the road leading from Nalachi Camp to the outside, don't get lost. ”
"I look forward to this powerful shaman coming out of me! May Mother Earth bless you! ”
On his way out of Narage's camp, Punch quickly found Bane Bloodhoof of in Bloodhoof Village.
He then took on a few more assignments at Bane.
The first is to kill a very powerful Kodomon that fell under the city of Mogore, Aranchia.
He went and killed dozens of white-maned gnolls, chocobos, vultures, and steppe wolves.
After this series of tasks is completed, the real professional trial begins.
"Go ahead! Go to the Barrens and find the trial entrance, and when you're done with the trials there, come back to us, and if you want to become a powerful shaman, I think you should get a few teammates to go and complete the trials together! ”
"But before I can do that, I have one more task for you."
"If you're looking for more adventure beyond Mogaure, now is the time for you to put yourself to the test. If you want to complete the Professional's Trial, go to the southeast to fight the Windfury Harpy. They were stationed on the side of the hill away from the main road. Harpies are our natural enemies, and fighting them will be a good test for you. ”
...
Sun Buyi was already in the nest of the harpy, and there were already several waves of female harpies who had come to harass him.
Speaking of which, the figures of these harpies are really not bad, and their faces are directly human faces, except for the replacement of arms with wings and the claws of eagle claws, in fact, they can still put down their mouths.
But who makes them smell big, but the most important thing is that one, Sun Bu is underage.
...
"I remember the boss telling me that he would be waiting for me at the Red Stone, hehe! How do you feel like you haven't seen the boss in a long time! ”
Sun Buyi was bored in the bird's nest and was about to get moldy, so he went to the surrounding area last night to investigate the situation in the vicinity.
The entire Minotaur Novice Village is not a big place, and the guards are only ordinary professionals who are less than level 40, they are nothing in Sun Buyi's eyes, and after more than two hours of shopping, Sun Buyi walked around all of them.
"Hey, the demand for the Fraud Orb is level 54, otherwise I can go to Thunder Cliff with Heavy Fist to play, although those minotaur girls are not my thing, but it would be good to go around and visit."
Sun Buyi was thinking about it, when suddenly there was a cry of an eagle-bodyed man in his ears, which was a warning sound for encountering the enemy.
He rolled over and poked a hole in the bird's nest, then got closer.
"Haha, it's my cow coming for me!"
Heavy Punch was fighting with several eagles, Sun Buyi rushed out of the bird's nest, and directly came to Heavy Punch's side with a heroic jump.
"Hahahaha, boss! I want to kill you! ”
With a thunderous trampling, he killed a bunch of the hawks besieging him around him, and then rushed up excitedly and hugged Sun Buyi.
"Alas, alas! Don't make such a big effort, tell me how things went. ”
Sun Bu pushed away the heavy punch that was shaking him vigorously, and asked with a look of disgust.
"Boss! I have a shamanic talent, I measured it yesterday, and it's all magic! ”
"That's good, haha, so what are we waiting for? Let's go straight to the trial! ”
"Let me kill a few harpys over there, and after completing this task, you can go directly to the trial of the pros!"
"Hahaha, on! Kill them, these spicy guys, they harassed me a few times last night! ”
"Huh? How was it harassed? ”
"Is this something you have to worry about?"
"Boss! You can't say that! Of course, you don't have anything to say about messing around as a little brother, but this harpy and centaur are the mortal enemies of our minotaurs, and you can't do these two! ”
"Fuck your sister! Do! Speed up and turn them in! ”
...
After killing enough harpies, Heavy Punch went back to report, but Sun Buyi still stayed near the Bird's Nest, waiting for Heavy Punch's next move.
"Tsk.... It's a pity! With this figure, even if you sell it, it's better than being killed by others! ”
Sun Buyi looked at the corpse of the harpy on the ground and sighed a little.
This sale is a singing sale!
...
"Go ahead! Our Minotaur Pro's Trialing Ground is in the Sweet Water Oasis in the Barrenlands, where there's a Wailing Cave! When you get there, someone will tell you what to do! ”
The farewell Eagle Wind Chieftain quickly returned to Sun Buyi's side with a heavy fist, and told him the location of the trial to leave him.
"You go directly to the door of the wailing cave and wait for me, I can get there in a day at most, you don't have to worry about me!"
Sun Buyi prepared some potions for himself this time, which were specially used to mix up the Thunder Cliff.
It's best to get out from the Taurazu camp, where the guards are only level 40.
With the camouflage potion and the stealth potion, Sun Buyi walked out of the Minotaur Novice Village very easily.
However, there was not a single flight point of the Alliance in the entire barren land, so Sun Buyi had to ride his mount at only 40% speed and set out on a long journey.
When he finally came to the Wailing Cave, he found that it was full of tribal people.
He slaughtered a small tribe of centaurs and hid in a yurt waiting for a heavy punch.
...
Heavy Punch went through a series of formalities and finally reached the crossroads at noon the next day!
At the crossroads here, there is a barracks stronghold for the tribal side.
"You're saying you're going to go to the Trials for Professionals alone?"
The Minotaur Elder at the Crossroads was skeptical of the Heavy Punch's words.
"Although you are level 29, if you want to complete the trial alone, the difficulty will increase several times, you better wait, maybe there will be other people who will come to participate in the advanced trial after a while, and the certainty of forming a team to complete it is still very high!"
But Heavy Punch still strongly requires himself to complete the trial alone.
In the end, the Minotaur Elder could only give him a trial certificate and let him set off alone.
Coming to the door of the Wailing Cave, Heavy Punch quickly found the special mark of the Jinyi Guard left by Sun Buyi.
"Boss?"
The ground was littered with centaur corpses, and they looked around with heavy fists and shouted quietly.
"Stop screaming! Come here! ”
Sun Buyi poked his head out of a small and inconspicuous yurt.
"Hey, hey, hey..."
"Don't giggle, I shouldn't be able to help you this time, the gates of the wailing cave are all guarded by your tribe, I think it's very difficult to get in, how sure are you that you can pass the trial?"
"Boss! I'm a little weak if you don't go in, don't you have an invisibility potion? ”
Heavy punch with a worried face.
"The doorway to the Wailing Cave is so big, am I going to step on them invisibly?"
Sun Buyi said angrily, then he looked at the heavy punch and said: "According to your strength, there should be no problem in winning the trial, but if you want to conduct a nightmare-level trial, it will be a bit hanging!" How sure are you? ”
Heavy punch scratched his head, and said in an uncertain tone: "There should be sixty percent certainty!" ”
"Sixty percent?"
Sun Buyi's eyes lit up, heavy punches are his right-hand man in the future, and the completion of his trial directly affects Sun Buyi's follow-up actions.
"Sixty percent of nightmare-level trials?" He asked again.
There was no ambiguity in the tone of the heavy punch this time, and he said with certainty: "Sixty percent!" Sixty percent should be guaranteed. ”
"That's good, haha!"
Sun Buyi slapped a heavy fist, and then smiled happily: "These things are enough for you to make up the remaining forty percent!" You must do your best to complete the Nightmare difficulty, don't embarrass me! ”
The things he took out, any one of them in the auction house, were the ones that could break his head.
Defense Potion (Mutation)! After use, the armor is increased by 350 points, and the HP is restored by 15 points every 5 seconds, and the duration is 24 hours, and the Guardian Potion!
Ogre Power Potion (Mutation)! Increases Strength by 18 points, Stamina by 18 points, duration 24 hours, Battle Potion!
