Chapter Eighty-Nine
It is my intention to turn this rare crack in the stone into my last defensive point, so that if I have to retreat here, I can take advantage of this favorable terrain to gain the greatest defensive advantage and destroy the future offenders one by one.
Fourth, the environment here is different from other stone walls.
In front of this crevice in the rocks, there is not a continuous forest, but a pile of rubble.
Large and small stones are piled up in this small clearing, like a discarded stone quarry, which makes it even more different from other places.
I just saw four different advantages here, so I planned to make it a base of operations and a shelter for me here.
I did a field trip at and near the stone crevice, and I felt that it was similar to the situation in my impression, which could meet my requirements, and was more suitable for building a forward base.
With this decision in mind, I rummaged through my leather bag and found a short sword that I could equip with my current stats.
Because I had a plan in mind, during the previous clean-up operation, I specifically found these sword and axe weapons that I can use now, and kept them.
Then I removed the Heavenly Fallen Dragon Soul Staff and the "Sprout of Youth" necklace from my body and put them in the most comfortable position in my leather pouch, so that I could quickly equip them for attack and defense at any time.
Since I didn't learn the skill of logging, I couldn't use it for logging and had to use brute force instead to cut hard.
Of course, the result of such a hard cut is extremely worn, and the wear and tear of weapons and equipment is extremely high.
According to the system, the consequences of such a tree cut, in addition to the player's HP not being reduced as a result, the other damage and loss are equivalent to the loss of cutting each other with a weapon and a samurai player.
It is laborious and equipment-intensive, and the ability to cut down trees will not improve in the slightest, and the income is extremely limited, so basically no one uses this stupid method.
There are only rookie players like me, who don't pay attention to the practice of life skills, and give up the opportunity to spend a small amount of money in the major life skills guilds to learn the lowest life skills, resulting in the current mountains of wood resources but no suitable skills available, and can only take a brutal approach.
It takes a lot of time, and the items you need are constantly accumulated, and your life skills cannot be improved because of this, and your work efficiency is really low.
However, with my current skills and the fact that I needed some wood, I couldn't help but work hard.
I'm ready to spend a few pieces of gear to get the amount of wood I need.
Therefore, after equipping the daggers, they will release all the spiritual senses supported by the mixed energy, let them conduct comprehensive reconnaissance and monitoring around them, and then they will run to a large tree near the edge of the stone field and cut it down.
That way, if I spot a monkey monster in the vicinity or is active, I can avoid it before they find out where I am.
The efficiency of the brutal chopping was really not high, and after a few cuts, before he could get a suitable piece of wood, the short sword was curled.
"This is not going to work! If I continue like this, before I can obtain the minimum amount of wood I need, all the swords, swords, and axes I have selected will be scrapped!"
After careful consideration, I was distressed to choose a relatively poor one among the magic cores with durability properties that were placed in the groove of the short sword in my hand.
This will probably increase the durability of the dagger and make it work for me a little longer.
Later, when it is completely broken, you can use the same method to increase the durability of another weapon.
If you can't get enough wood before your weapons run out, you'll have to run out and fight the monkey monsters.
I just don't know what the attack pattern will be when they are spotted by the monkey monsters.
If I chase after me like last time, I don't have a safe place to stay now, so I have to take the way of going offline to avoid the pursuit.
So if possible, I don't want to go out and attack the monkey monsters until I've finished setting it up.
Also, try your best to avoid being spotted by monkey monsters.
"'Cold Moon Fragrance' asks to be added as a friend with you, do you agree?" Just as I was about to swing the short sword in my hand again, a message from the system suddenly sounded in my ears.
I didn't think much about it and chose to agree.
Because it can be seen from the name of 'Cold Moon Fragrance' that this is a very feminine name, and her owner is a woman nine times out of ten.
More importantly, the women I know in Longteng, in addition to the roles of Yan Ziqing and Liu Shishi, are only the goddess of the fire of life and the cuteness with her.
And the people who know my name of 'hating the sky' in Longteng are Luo Wancheng, Tie Zhongtang, Yan Ziqing, Liu Shishi, plus the goddess of life and the goddess of life, the maximum number of people is seven.
And the people in Wanghai's Internet café haven't contacted me for so long, so I have already excluded them (her).
Therefore, the people who can directly enter my hatred and ask to join me as friends are most likely Yan Ziqing and Liu Shishi.
Sure enough, not long after agreeing to Leng Yue Piaoxiang's request, another system message rang out.
"Ice Dance' asked to be added as a friend with you, do you agree?"
I didn't even think about it, so I just chose to agree.
If these two female players who have become friends are really Yan Ziqing and Liu Shishi, although they can't communicate with me for the time being, they can know my status through the notification function of friends going online and offline in the friends list.
Once I had made sure of it, I casually opened my friends table.
There are only three names in the friend list: 'Crazy for You', 'Ice and Snow Dance' and 'Cold Moon Fragrance'.
It's a little less, but I'd rather be less than messy, and I don't want to add friends who aren't really friends, which is one of my bad tempers.
After seeing that all three of them were online, I closed my friends list.
Raising the short sword in my hand, I swung it at the thick trunk in front of me.
Although from the short sword that was cut on the trunk of the tree, there was a wave of physical force that revived, and the whole arm was a little numb.
But there was also a deep crack in the thick trunk in front of him.
After such a few hundred swords, the first tree I had obtained by brute force felling on Huaguo Mountain finally fell down in my sight, and as soon as it hit the ground, a ray of blue light was released, and then the phantom image of the tree disappeared.
When I opened my inventory, I saw a log lying quietly in my carry-on leather bag, and I felt a little reward for hundreds of swings, and I felt a pang of joy in my heart.
However, the short sword in his hand was also very worn, and it seemed that he could only cut down four or five more trees at most, and it would be scrapped.
This made me even more determined to learn more life skills when I went out, so that I wouldn't regret it too late when I encountered a similar situation in the future.
So I was on the edge of the glade and slashed down the trees with my short sword.
Although the efficiency was very low, he also cut down two large trees again and obtained two logs.
It was only when I got the third log that some of my armor, which had been badly damaged in the previous battles, finally burst apart after such a degree of wear and tear.
I simply stopped wearing new armor and slashed trees with all my might.
Anyway, although my spiritual sense can't detect the actions of the mysterious snoopers like last time, it is still impossible to deal with those monkey monsters below the monkey marshal.
If they appear within range of my psionic search, I can also get enough time to re-equip.
This way I can reduce a lot of wear and tear, and my chances of survival will be greatly increased.
With my mind in mind, I found a whole set of replacement equipment, the 'Heavenly Fallen Dragon Soul' staff, and the "Sprout of Youth" necklace to put together, so that I could quickly equip them in a pinch.
In this way, I was alone against the empty and somewhat desolate rockfield, alone facing the sea of trees in the Huaguo Mountain Boundary, mechanically wielding the broken short sword in my hand, trying to save enough wood for my needs.
It feels like it's been a long time.
When I slashed hard at the thick trunk of the tree in front of me, the short sword in my hand clicked, and finally completed its mission of existence, breaking it in half.
The tip of the sword snapped and flew out to the right along the backlash of the tree trunk.
I saw that its jagged edge still shone with a touch of metal.
In the process of the parabolic fall, the jagged blade flashed with countless lights and shadows, until it made a violent sound of "bell lang" when it fell to the ground, and then disappeared into the data space of the Dragon Continent.
The other half of the short sword in my hand also emitted a flash of light the moment the tip of the sword hit the ground, and then slowly disappeared in front of me.
The dagger and the magic were completely ruined.
Impatiently, I opened the leather bag and saw that there were already five logs in the bag.
But it's still a lot short of the minimum amount of wood I need.
I took another short axe from the sac that I had already chosen, inserted a core with durability enhancement into its handle, and another weapon for felling was ready.
Just as I was about to swing my axe and continue cutting down with my axe, I was feeling a sudden fluctuation in my psychic sense.
I calmed my mind and felt it carefully.
It turned out that from the direction of the center of Huaguo Mountain on the right, several monkey monsters appeared, and they were hurrying towards the direction where I was.
Immediately after that, one after another monkey monsters appeared within the reach of my spiritual fluctuations, and I was shocked by the sheer number of them.
Although they come from all directions, they also appear to be scattered and unorganized.
But I clearly felt that their destination was extremely clear, and there was only one.
That's where I am at the moment.
As soon as my position changes slightly, the direction in which they travel changes.
I know that these monkey monsters can only act in such a coordinated and definite manner under the unified command of a commander who knows the enemy's position very well.
I'm not afraid of a horde of monkeys, so I can avoid them in advance, or I can get rid of them with a quick speed.
However, the tremendous power of this kind of collective unified action cannot but make me worried.
Without much thought, I quickly put on the gear I had prepared, and then ran quickly to the upper right.
I can't leave this unfinished forward base exposed to the enemy's noses.
As I ran, I pondered what to do to deal with the crisis in front of me.
Hard fighting is absolutely not possible, so the only way to deal with it is to deal with it.
However, judging from the situation of spiritual sensing just now, the monkeys are extremely good at tracking me.
They were always able to grasp my direction and continue to chase after me, and those who did not arrive in time now began to take a shortcut in front of me, ready to intercept them.
It was clearly a response under a fairly clever unified command.
And I, I can't even figure out who the monsters are under command and where the monsters are directing.
So in this situation where the opportunity has been lost, what is the best way to deal with so many monkey monsters?
I thought about it again and again, but I couldn't find a suitable way to resolve it.
Therefore, I had to change direction to temporarily slow down the speed at which the monkey monsters surrounded me, so that I could have more time to think about it.
But things didn't go as smoothly as I thought.
The psychic sensing ability supported by the mixed energy has been exerted to its maximum effectiveness, and every grass and tree within five zhang of the surrounding area is under my surveillance.
So, when the monkey monsters finished encircling me, I felt the devouring oppression and the monkey monsters from a distance.
I knew that if I didn't take action, I would be surrounded by monkey monsters and have no way to escape.
Not to mention, there are more monkey monsters in the distance, which are on their way quickly.
"It seems that all the monkey monsters in Huaguo Mountain have arrived. I muttered to myself.
Although there aren't too many monkey monsters around now, it's definitely not something I can solve in a short period of time.
If the time is delayed a little and I am surrounded by the group of monkey monsters behind me, I will die without a place to bury.
However, I still haven't come up with a practical solution.
Impatiently, I didn't hesitate to make the decision to quit the game for the time being.
"You have opted out of the game. The next time you enter the game, you'll go straight to the blocked area and start the mission again, are you sure?" The system's prompt female voice repeats the same words she had said the last time she exited the Dragon.
However, unlike last time, this time I was in danger and there was no way to solve it, which made me a little irritated and worried.
After confirming the exit operation, the program finally exited the screen of the Dragon system.
I took off my shiny black Fuxi-style holographic virtual induction helmet and hung it on a helmet-specific hook that protruded from the warp.
Then I stood up, picked up the 'blueberry' drink that had been placed on the main table, and walked to the small café on the right side of the room.
One butt sits on a comfortable light blue ergonomic three-seater bench in the center.
Placing the 'blueberry' drink in my hand on the coffee table on the transparent table, I buried my whole body deep in the bench.
The automatic massage function installed on the bench is immediately activated.
The back leaning on the chair was slightly shaken, and there was an instant feeling of soreness and numbness, and the mood seemed to be relieved a lot.
Once again, I was amazed by the thoughtful design concept of the designers of the VIP rooms.
"No wonder Tie Zhongtang praises this place, it really has something that people will never forget."
As a result, my fondness for this Internet café has increased over time, and I even have the idea that I will play dragon here in the future.
I am even more impressed by the way Internet café operators operate.
But I also know that although I have such an idea, it will not be able to realize it.
Because although it makes me feel good here, it can't be low in terms of price.
That's not something I can afford with my current financial situation.
In the midst of my thoughts, I suddenly felt someone more around me.
I don't need to think about it much, but the faint fragrance of the shallow pond lotus that comes with the wind brought by the body makes me know that it is Liu Shishi who is here.
"You're here, take a seat, the service facilities here are really good. I beckoned to her softly.
But I didn't open my eyes, but leaned my head back on the back of my chair to enjoy the service more comfortably.
The head massager on the back of the chair also activated when it sensed the weight of my head in an instant.
