Chapter 80: Hunting the Gopher King
Xiuge glanced at Lu Xi and didn't ask the reason, he seemed to be really at ease, and he wasn't too guarded.
When we reached the sand gopher's territory, all the traces left by the day before yesterday had disappeared, and the ground was flat as if nothing had happened.
There are only a few inconspicuous cave openings, exposed to the ground, proving that there are still sand gophers here.
Lu Xi couldn't say that he was too disappointed, after all, a whole day had passed, and even if those traces were left, they wouldn't be able to leave too much.
Like sand gophers, they feed on the corpses of monsters, even if they are of the same kind, they will not let go.
They had eaten all the corpses by the time they were last night.
But it's also possible that there are two different "environment templates" during the day and night, and the scene changes at night are not reflected during the day.
Xiuge was very keen to notice the changes in the night forest, and also noticed the difference from the day, and walked around the sand mopher burrow, attracting a few dull sand gophers to come out, and his face was even more novel.
"Is this the effect of the elemental circle left over from the Spirit Farm? Keeping the monsters under control during the day and indulging them at night, it's no wonder they behaved so crazy last time. ”
Lu Xi just listened to Xiuge's own blind guessing, but he didn't give any response, but secretly wrote down Xiuge's words, and he might be able to use them next time.
After walking around the Night Forest and confirming the safety of the Night Forest, Lu Xi handed the two axes to Xiuge.
"Let's cut down the tree!"
Xiuge held the axe in confusion and watched Lu Xi demonstrate the same as performing a "void tree chopping" in front of him.
The axe was still half a meter away from the tree, and suddenly the light flashed, and it turned into a pile of wood next to it.
Xiuge was dumbfounded, this scene was really beyond his expectations.
"Is this also the effect of the elemental circle?"
Lu Xi smiled and said nothing, teaching Xiuge how to identify what trees could be cut down...... She could see the font herself, but the others didn't have it, and they had to be identified in other ways.
Fortunately, these trees that can be automatically refreshed have very significant characteristics, and the position is relatively independent, and Xiuge can accurately identify them after looking at them once.
Unlike Xiao Yuan and Mao Mao, when Xiuge wielded the axe produced by the system, although his body did not feel any effort, as if he was holding a feather, he could feel some kind of force leaving his body.
It's like planting vegetables and harvesting vegetables in the field two days ago.
However, Lu Xi did not cut down the tree together with Xiuge, but took out a backpack of hunting tools, determined to unlock all the monster kings in the Dark Night Forest today.
She didn't want to show up, the next time she appeared in the Night Forest, when she faced those monster kings, a system notification popped up that "the book is not unlocked, and you can't attack".
With the White Feather Pegasus following Lu Xi's side, Xiuge wasn't worried about any accidents, and with the speed of the White Feather Pegasus, few accidents could outweigh its reaction.
However, Xiuge's eyes have been staring at Lu Xi, so he saw Lu Xi's superb archery skills......
No, it wasn't Miss Lucy's personal ability, but the effect of the bow and arrow in her hand.
Unfortunately, the bow and arrows seemed to be disposable, with a box of quivers, and each time the arrows were used, the bow disappeared with them.
But judging from Miss Lucy's continuous behavior of taking out new bows and arrows from the contract package, Miss Lucy seems to have a lot of this thing.
Emptying the surrounding trees with great speed, Xiuge stood behind Lu Xi and looked curiously at the bow and arrow in Lu Xi's hand.
Taking advantage of Lu Xi's exchange of arrows, Xiuge interjected and asked, "Miss Lucy, can you show me this bow and arrow?" ”
Lu Xi was also generous, and directly took out a set of bows and arrows from his backpack and handed it to Xiuge, anyway, this thing, the inventory in her backpack is.
I can't use it up, I can't use it up at all.
Xiuge imitated Lu Xi's appearance, first made a movement, attracted the sand gopher in the burrow, and then quickly aimed at the sand gopher, released his fingers, and the arrow flew towards the sand gopher.
It's just that with the first arrow, Xiuge didn't grasp the strength and direction well, and only shot one of the fat calves of the sand gopher.
However, the base damage of the high-level hunting tool is in, and it only hits the calf, and the sand gopher simply lies down and dies, which makes Xiuge amazed.
A few more arrows were fired in the future, and the accuracy continued to improve, and finally it was able to hit the eye directly.
Xiuge commented on this, "It's too light, I can't feel the force, but it's quite easy to get used to." ”
"Like a toy."
Lu Xi didn't speak, just stared at Xiuge's few arrows and thought, when she used this bow and arrow, she had the blessing of the system panel, and she could bring her own aiming, and if others used it, they could only rely on their own archery skills.
Growing up in the Royal Knights, he received various trainings since he was a child, and he must be able to use bows and arrows, although he is not used to the strength of the bows and arrows he used in the Royal Knights.
But the experience itself is there, and it is still easy to adjust it by shooting a few more arrows.
Like the kind of heavy bow in the Royal Knights, there may be no way to get a trick without a few hundred catties of strength, and you can only train a little bit to get familiar with it, but this kind of bow that doesn't require much strength at all, even a three-year-old child can pull the bowstring, and it's not too simple to get acquainted.
What Lu Xi was thinking about was not these, but - this bow seemed to have no effect on other people except herself, which was not as great as she imagined.
In other words, Lu Xi's biggest plug-in is still her system panel that can automatically aim at "weak point attacks".
And without the help of the system panel, the advanced hunting tool is just a one-time elemental magic weapon that is easier to use for others.
"What is Miss Lucy thinking?" Xiuge looked at Lu Xi, who was deep in thought.
Lu Xi shook his head, "I'm just wondering if these things can be used normally without the farm." ”
There are a lot of things in the game system that are circled, such as the monster breeding shed, which is an item that cannot be placed outside the farm, but there are also some things that can still function outside of the farm, such as a heater.
Since hunting tools can be used as normal weapons by Xiuge, they can also be used outside the farm.
However, can the system panel still pop up when facing targets that are not prey on the game map?
Without the help of the system panel, although Lu Xi can still use hunting tools, there is no guarantee that she can shoot at the target.
Xiuge didn't know Lu Xi's true thoughts, thinking that the problem Lu Xi was thinking about was that these tools were all working on the farm, and he didn't know how effective they would be if they were taken outside without the blessing of the corresponding elemental array.
After all, in Xiuge's eyes, Lu Xi has only inherited this farm for more than a month, and he knows a lot about the farm, and it is normal to have some doubts.
"If you go out and try it, you'll find out." Xiuge made a suggestion.
Lu Xi was just about to nod, but suddenly remembered that just yesterday, Xiuge had already cleared out the monsters outside the Spirit Farm, and even if she went out now, she would not be able to find the target of the experiment.
"Let's talk about it." With this in the plan, Lu Xi lowered his head again to hunt the sand gophers, and Xiuge followed up with two attempts, and soon lost interest in hunting.
Unlike Lu Xi, Xiuge grew up hunting monsters since he was a child, and the success rate of the Royal Knights is very high, and relatively speaking, their training is also very strict, which is not something ordinary people can bear.
Killing monsters that are stupid and don't know how to resist is no fun for Shuge, who prefers to face those powerful and dangerous monsters and then use gorgeous skills to deal with them.
It's not as interesting as cutting down trees.
After shooting more than a hundred sand gophers, Lu Xi finally saw the system notification he wanted to see.
[System Notification: Congratulations to the player for successfully hunting 160 sand gophers and successfully unlocking the illustrated "Sand Gopher King".] 】
[System Notification: Players have unlocked the new Bestiary "Gopher King", and the system store has opened a new product "Gopher King Bait" for players, which can be obtained by completing tasks or purchased from the system store.] 】
[King Sand Pig Lure: An odor diffuser made of ordinary sand gophers, which can be placed within the activity range of the sand gopher for a certain period of time to attract the king sand mole. 】
[Sand Gopher King: The king of the sand gopher group, with the elemental talent of the earth attribute, can use a variety of earth element magic, has strong defensive ability, weak aggression, and will use escape methods when encountering deadly danger. 】
Lu Xi stared at the system notification and looked at it again and again, and always felt that the fluttering font on it seemed to have something terrible written.
A bait made from a "common sand gopher"? It's scary to think about it, it's scary to think about it.
With Xiuge on the side, Lu Xi was not afraid of any danger, and the night before yesterday, it was enough for Lu Xi to see Xiuge's strength clearly.
I bought a sand gopher bait in the system mall, Lu Xi placed it on the ground as required, and after waiting for two minutes, the ground suddenly surged, and a large pit with a diameter of more than five meters suddenly appeared, and a sneaky-looking sand gopher king emerged from it.
Then he cautiously approached the bait, and he didn't see Lu Xi raising his bow and arrow next to him, and Xiu Ge, who was protecting Lu Xi.
After unlocking the "Sand Gopher King" illustrated book, when Lu Xi raised his bow to aim at the Sand Gopher King again, there was no system prompt that he could not attack.
To Lu Xi's surprise, the Sand Gopher King was really different from ordinary sand gophers, and Lu Xi's attack would be blocked.
This is the "miss" prompt on the system panel.
Good guy, really good guy, Lu Xi really has a lot of knowledge.
In reality, what stopped Lu Xi's arrow attack was the earthen walls rising from the ground.
The Sand Gopher King didn't attack Lu Xi, and he didn't have any other intention of fighting back, but kept moving left and right, and at the same time, walls of earth rose on the ground to block the arrows.
Lu Xi had no choice but to take advantage of the gap to launch an attack - the Sand Mole King has a fixed movement distance, and only one earth wall will be raised at a time, and if he grabs the gap in the middle, he can shoot the Sand Mopher King behind.
Finally, after being hit by a few arrows, the Sand Pig King couldn't bear it, and his originally fixed behavior suddenly changed, and he wanted to run away reflexively.
The defensive earthen wall no longer appeared, but a crater suddenly appeared in the ground, and the Gopher King jumped up and was about to jump into the pit, when Lu Xi shot an arrow right over, hitting the Gopher King before he entered the hole.
The potholes on the ground disappeared, Lu Xi had just re-mounted the arrows, and suddenly there were potholes in another place, and the sand gopher king was about to jump over again, Lu Xi shot the sand mopher king again, and the pit disappeared.
So Lu Xi knew that the hunting difficulty of the monster king was much higher than that of normal monsters, and there were "obstacles" to prevent the attack in the early stage, and there would be escape behavior in the later stage, which needed to be interrupted.
After the third failed escape of the King Gopher Clan, the signs of successful hunting appeared.
Lu Xi glanced at the Sand Mole King, who was obviously still alive, and was a little surprised, and then looked at it, and two choices were given on the system panel.
One is to make up for the final blow and kill the Gopher King, and the other is to take out the hunting tools, whichever one is to bring back the live Gopher King and keep it in the monster breeding shed.
Lu Xi thought about it and chose the latter, it would be too much of a loss to kill it directly, and if you raise it, you can get more benefits.
Xiuge watched the whole time, and he was not at all interested in the sand mole king, who would not resist, but after Lu Xi finished hunting, he walked over and talked about what made Lu Xi frightened.
"Miss Lucy, I wonder if it's because they're too repressed, so they become aggressive towards humans at night."
There is another sentence that Xiuge didn't say, but Lu Xi had already understood it.
The monsters I saw before were actually not too aggressive towards humans, but if Lu Xi continued to hunt like he was now, the monsters in his hands would have more lives, so I am afraid it would not be necessarily.
I'm afraid that the next time Lu Xi appears in the Night Forest at night, there will be monsters gathered to attack her.
"I can't help it." Lu Xi clenched the bow and arrow in her hand, even if she knew that the consequences were not good, but where did she have any choice, it would be more dangerous for her not to unlock the illustrated book, and the only thing she relied on in this world was the game system.
"Let's move on to the next goal."
Lu Xi didn't say much, Xiuge didn't speak anymore, the original farm and the night forest were connected, and the elemental magic circle was even more complementary to each other, it was indeed not something that could be broken by saying it.
Since they have enjoyed the benefits brought by the elemental circle, the danger behind this naturally needs to be borne by themselves.
The next target is the Kongo boars, a group of Kongkong, which look fierce but are actually silly, but easier than the sand gophers.
Because Lu Xi only killed 80 King Kong Wild Boars, he was prompted to unlock the illustrated book "King of King Kong Wild Boars".
After buying the bait of King Kong Boar King, Lu Xi looked at the introduction above and was silent.
For no other reason, this bait actually asked Lu Xi to place ...... at night?
King Kong Boar King is known to be a mid-level monster with rough skin and thick flesh, and is at least eight meters tall.
Such a behemoth, just standing there and letting Lu Xi attack, Lu Xi will attack for a long time, let alone the night when the entire monsters in the Night Forest are "alive".
It wasn't the Sand Mouse King who would stupidly spin around in place, waiting for the landing stream to attack and not move, it was a mid-level monster that would be difficult to gain the upper hand even if he was on the right side.
Don't look at humans and monsters are at the same level, but humans are congenitally half a level of weak monsters, and fighting at the same level only exists between particularly strong humans and monsters with particularly weak chickens.
"Next......" Lu Xi sighed.
I had a fight with my dad today, and it was a headache.
I wanted to take a break and change it tomorrow, but when I thought of the full attendance on the street, I still gritted my teeth and coded the words.
After all, the reason for the quarrel was that I was writing at home every day, and my dad couldn't see it, thinking that I wasn't doing my job properly.
If you don't have a manuscript fee, it's even more unreasonable.
