221. The Jackal Plague is about to begin
The manufacturing players and cuties who specialize in administrative professions in this group of new players who enter the game will not add up to more than 10 people, and the remaining 60 newcomers are still "classic combatants" who like to chop and slash.
And even the manufacturing and administrative professions also have three career columns, for example, he has decided to become a reserve village chief, but this does not prevent him from planning to change to the apprentice of the magician.
In short, the day after the Dawn of Translancia main quest update, the new NPC "Tribune Kudel" has finally been refreshed in the Vulture Corridor in anticipation of the anticipation of young players.
This guy is no longer the look he used to be.
Murphy found him a set of family elder heavy armor in the family treasury that was luxurious enough and had stronger defense.
The scarlet armor almost covered Kudel's entire body, and the two huge night bats on his shoulders spread his wings filled him with the "crazy cool hanging" style unique to classic NPCs.
A scarlet greatsword as tall as the others was carried behind him, and the full-coverage blood vulture helmet made this creature walk like an iron giant.
Players will know that this NPC is full of "strength and beauty" when they see this shape, and as the temporary servants of Lord Kudel, the Cat Brother Five are allowed to follow the tribune, making them puff up their chests and full of pride.
Kudell is a traditional vampire.
He avoids appearing during the day, but this high-level psionic armor with its own "Cloak of Shadows" allows the vampire to maintain some resistance in sunlight.
It is not a problem to cull at least a few gnolls.
Of course, the Tribune is a taciturn character, and although he has taken over the responsibility of leading the players to rid the players of the gnolls from Murphy, he still does not read his orders out loud like other NPCs, but only sends out the tasks that have already been edited with the help of the Orb.
After the players had gathered here to reach 100 people, he led them out of the city.
The "challenge level" of wild gnolls is mostly above level 5, which is the middle level of the wild monsters in the Translancian region, and they are very scattered, which makes it essentially less difficult to hunt down gnolls than in the sewers to kill ghouls who are always in groups and know how to sneak attack.
On top of that, the wilderness terrain is open and well-lit, much better than that hapless, dark, smelly sewer.
If you stay in a hellish place like the sewer for a long time, everyone is going to be depressed.
Before, there was no main quest guide, and players were not interested in the gnolls, but now that the quest has arrived, these gnolls and bandits running around in Transencia have naturally become the "new favorites" of young players.
"Ah, Cheche is finally back alive with full blood!"
The invincible tyrannosaurus chariot that wrapped itself in the crowd like zongzi to avoid direct sunlight hid from the sun in the carriage, and it stands to reason that vampire players should not act in the daytime, but they definitely don't want to miss the main quest update, so even if they are weakened by the daylight, they have to run to join in the fun.
"You still have the face to say!"
The big pigeon in the carriage was very unhappy with the healing potion, and blew his beard and glared at the chariot, Ah Ru and the coo-coo:
"Enough of the stupidity of the three of you trying to fly and crashing yourself to your death! Let me, the head of the house, can't even raise his head in front of Brother Meow and them, and he will laugh at us when they meet.
And pay a fine for three of you!
250 for one person, I will tell you, this is what you three owe us! Do you want to pay it back after that? โ
"I know, I know, I know, this new wing is so fragile, don't be angry."
Ah Ru also had a look of mistake, comforting the angry good pigeon on the side, the three of them knew that they had done something stupid, so that the team's already poor cash flow was stretched even more due to the fine.
This will naturally be very well-behaved, and he was scolded by Pigeon Bao and did not fight back.
Coo-coo, holding his face, feeling the irritability and discomfort of the vampire's constant fluctuation in the center of the environment during the day, he said:
"I think it's better for us to go to the sewers first, and wait until the sun goes down before we go out of the city to hunt the gnolls, this vampire race is handsome, but it's too uncomfortable to weaken during the day.
In the current situation, let alone fighting the Gnoll Elite, I think it is uncomfortable to fight ordinary black iron monsters. โ
"I know we're going to follow along."
Pigeon Bao shook the prepared primary healing potion in his hand vigorously, making the alchemy substance fuse more smoothly, and he said while he was busy:
"We didn't deal with the gnolls a lot before, so we'll come over to see their strength and fighting style, and then circle a target area, and we'll just kill them at night. The main thing is that I don't know what the way this main line hunts is now.
Is it traditional to kill how much to kill?
Or is it a progress-bar-style server advancement mode?
I've asked the veterans in the camp before, and they've told me that even in all of Translasia, the Black Iron Gnoll is one of the few elite monsters, let alone the leader of the lair.
I mean, it's hard for ordinary gnolls to increase their skill proficiency when they fight, so it's better to leave it to new players, let's focus on it.
Maximize efficiency. โ
"Well, that makes sense!"
Ah Ru held his double knives and said:
"Goo Chicken and Niu Niu and I have to finish our Tomb Badge production by tonight before we can officially change jobs, and the Ebonstone application will be sent out in the afternoon, and we will have to go to the sewers to find the Wraith Tomb later."
But I heard that in the three days that the three of us fell to death, Brother Bang organized his guild? โ
"The guild system hasn't been opened yet."
The bionic snail that quenched the poison on the blade of the vampire nocturnal claw next to him said without raising his head:
"He just registered at the administrative office, formed a team, and recruited twenty newcomers in addition to him and the Tiger and Leopard Riding Brothers.
We all know that he has always wanted to build a 'big corps' to give himself the addiction of being a commander. โ
"It's not just for fun."
Pigeon Bo shook his head and said:
"Brother Bang is indeed proficient in command, wouldn't it be a pity not to give full play to such a big advantage? However, Brother Bang's corps formation has been completed, and we still don't feel good about being a straggler.
Why don't we register a team later?
When the guild system is opened, let's take advantage of the situation and pull all the students from our school in, and everyone will communicate with each other. โ
At the moment when Pigeon Bao's words fell, everyone's calculation orbs vibrated in unison.
[Main quest chapter 1 ยท ' Dawn of Transancia' has been updated! Operation 'Plague of the Gnolls' has been triggered!
Description: The Gnoll bandits roaming Translancia have always been a problem to ignor, and although the locals have become accustomed to these robberies and never finish killing them, and even see them as a link in this troubled land, the gnolls are still a big problem for Earl Cadman as he seeks to establish a stable rule!

Crimson Hammer Scythe Boss: Onboard Happy Stick. ใ
"Holy! We didn't register, how did these guys sneak away! โ
After seeing the task update, the good pigeon suddenly roared angrily, and he couldn't wait to rush back to the Scarlet Fort to complete the registration quickly, and blamed the three goods for flying and falling to their deaths, you see how much this delayed!
But the other student parties were concerned about something else.
"This is the rhythm of killing the gnolls of Transancia!"
Ah Ru exclaimed:
"The uncapped pool and 40 days of activity alone are enough for players to plow the whole of Translancia!"
"yes, that's the reward"
The invincible Tyrannosaurus Che Che, who has always been optimistic, also feels sorry for the future of the jackals in this land, he is a player himself, and no one knows better than him how much power players can explode under the impetus of such a terrifying reward.
Where are the gnolls and bandits who roam the land of Transencia now and are still monsters?
That's clearly a walking point!
That's a humanoid treasure chest!
"We won't be able to grab the first place in this group award."
The bionic snail sighed and said:
"There are 30 people over there, and the first place is definitely covered by them, but even the basic reward is good enough, although we can't use the veteran suit, but it's good to sell it to newcomers after saving it."
"It doesn't have to be that you can't catch up."
The good pigeon narrowed his eyes and said:
"We're definitely not as good as them during the day, but at night it's our home field! Brother Bang wants to train newcomers, and his big team combat is destined to only farm ordinary monsters, so we'll do the opposite! We specialize in killing elites at night!
An elite is comparable to 10 ordinary gnolls, and as long as we kill enough and fast, we are not necessarily inferior to them.
Ah Ru, Gugu Chicken, you contact Niu Niu, go back to the city now to do the transfer of the tomb sword guard, I'll go back to register the team, let's start tonight! โ
"What should I do if I ask for the enemy?"
The meow shark questioned:
"Elite bosses won't take the initiative to run out to kill you, and the IQ of the gnolls in this game is not stupid, once the player makes a big move, they won't be stupid to stay in the lair."
"emmmm, why don't you borrow soldiers?"
Ah Yu suddenly said:
"Ask Lord Murphy to borrow his powerful bird, that bird's detection is very powerful, and it was the Psionic Hunter who killed the Tower of the Ring last time to guide us in the direction. We are the 'descendants of Murphy', and the Venerable Elder should give us this little face, right? โ
The student party is still thinking about discussing tactics, and the happy bar in front of them has already been put on the head.
In the sun, this guy wrapped himself like a rice dumpling, rode on his tall horse and shouted:
"O brothers! A wave of fat is now! Come with me, brothers of the Scarlet Hammer Sickle! Find the nearest gnolla lair! Open the brush! Open the brush! Brush Fuck! โ
"Damn, Brother Bang, calm down."
The tiger and leopard rider brothers, who were riding on horses next to them, hurriedly pressed the happy stick so that the fellow would not grow wings and fly out, and they shouted:
"We're going to bring new people! They're all waiting for you to command, so don't rush up and do it yourself. โ
"I don't care! The first place in that team is decided! Whoever dares to drag his feet will engage in military law! โ
Brother Bang grabbed the reins of the horse and said in a deep voice:
"It's time to show ordinary players the strength of our professional team, Master Murphy said that I have no feelings for this land, I will let him see, and I can also make the people on this land like me and worship me."
โโ
"Damn, this new main line is actually the point pool mode? Is it such a chicken thief? โ
On the game forum, the craving party has also seen the task reminder that has been fed back by the players in real time, and they have discussed it one by one, but the six-person group of Brother Woo Meow is already itchy.
They had been killed in a reconnaissance operation by the Chosen Ones, and it would take a whole day to resurrect them, and they would be so anxious that they would scratch their ears and cheeks and wish to travel through the past.
The Four King Kongs are also in a hurry.
They don't pursue the first team reward, their small team can't compare with the stick brother in terms of numbers, even the student party can't compare, and there is no vampire night bonus, and they have to delay for a whole day, and now all they can count on is the individual reward list.
But Brother Woo Meow's social wisdom still did not disappoint his brothers, he calmed himself down, and said to his five brothers:
"We don't rob them, they should go to the territory of the Baroness of Darkness, let's go north after the resurrection, go to the Barony of Lim, there are many trees and dense forests, which happens to be the world of our witch hunters.
After the second stage opened, we went directly to the Earldom of Sico, further north.
I've heard that it's full of mountains and forests, which is just the right place for us to take advantage of. โ
"You can also find support from fellow witch hunters!"
Little Hands reminds in the group:
"We're all Catholics, and the Gnolls seem to be one of the evil things that the witch hunters want to eradicate, so President Natalie may be able to provide support, even if it's just to scout for the enemy."
"Ah, my broadsword is already hungry and thirsty!"
Brother Heisi shouted in the group like crazy:
"I'm going to decide on that famous knife that sounds terrible! Don't rob me! โ
"But don't forget, this time the reward mode is a fucking treasure chest."
Jiechong was very desperate and said:
"As far as our luck is concerned, I'll see the suspense."
"Why don't we just sell the key?"
Lao Qu proposed:
"Specifically looking for those big red hands, such as Sister Pomegranate, and wait for her to open a good thing and take the key to exchange it with her? Even if we exchange two for one, we won't lose. โ
"Holy, you're such a clever little ghost!"
Brother Meow sighed:
"Take advantage of other people's luck to meet our needs, Yiyan! That's it! In addition, looking for a big red hand in the game, our team needs a super red hand, and it is very much needed. โ
