Chapter 34: A good start

Because Zhuang Yun joined this time, it was inconvenient for Lu Jiu to use somersault Cloud again, but took out the tent made by the tailor before.

[Single Tent]

(Brown iron level)

Defense: +70

Effect: A must-have for traveling, can resist 10 attacks from ordinary monsters; 3 attacks from ordinary brown iron monsters.

This was easy to use, just put it on the spot and open the airbag, there was a sleeping bag inside, and three tents form a triangle area.

This night, the three of them simply ate ready-to-eat food and fell asleep without dreaming all night.

At about noon on the second day after departure, they arrived at Jinghe District.

After arriving, they didn’t immediately find a city-state to inquire about the news but drew a route. They decided not to go to the city-state for the next two days.

“Why don’t you go to the city-state?” Lu Jiu asked her question.

“We won’t go today, it’s a waste of time to go. Instead of asking others, I’d better look for it now, and I have a bicycle.”

Some city-states in the Jinghe District may also have something like the Phantom City. If they enter it and inquire about the news, they will be discovered.

Lu Jiu understood what he meant, so she stopped talking, and Zhuang Yun completely followed his instructions.

They need to avoid the scope of the city-state, and they will meet other people in the forest, but one person couldn’t know everyone in the city, as long as they avoid it a little.

Yuanchuan Forest, the largest independent forest area in Jinghe District was surrounded by a circle of river lines. Even if they were not a resident here, they can guess that this is the largest area.

“Avoid this place, let’s go to other places first.” Shen Jufeng’s slender fingers pointed out a small piece of the map, and there was a hill.

Lu Jiu looked at the sign of the bare mountain, tilted her head slightly, and said: “Pingjing Mountain, there is not even a sign of a tree on it, is it a barren mountain or a mine?”

Because of minerals, there were very few trees that can grow there, and there were barren hills, which have no nutrients and can only grow weeds.

“Let’s go and see, maybe we can gain something from a mine.”

After the reward hall opened, he bought a miner skill card at a high price, so he could also dig out ores.

Lu Jiu nodded. She knew about Shen Jufeng’s acquisition of the miner skill card, which was obtained from an anonymous transaction where the highest bidder got it.

Even if it was just a life-related skill card, it can be divided into bad and high-quality goods. Anyway, every collector has a skill card.

The three continued to set off and encountered two common wild monsters along the way, all in small groups, and they could be easily resolved by raising their hands.

However, the closer they got to the destination, Pingjing Mountain, the quieter the surrounding area became. After riding for 15 minutes, no wild monsters stopped them.

The surroundings in the distance blocked by the giant trees suddenly became clear. They seemed to have come to an open place, and Pingjing Mountain was not far in front of them.

There was nothing on the mountain except scattered weeds, and rocks occasionally roll across the mountain and make the sound of stones colliding.

“It’s too weird.” Lu Jiu commented after looking around.

Shen Jufeng and Zhuang Yun also felt the same: “It’s too quiet here, not even the sound of insects.” In a place like this, it must be unsafe rather than safe.

There may be some kind of powerful beast here, this was its territory, and other creatures dare not approach it.

“Be on guard.” Shen Jufeng took out a dark silver giant sword from his backpack and handed it to Zhuang Yun: “Your skills are suitable for this. As time goes by, the wild monsters will update, and this game will gradually become unsuitable for fighting with bare hands. ”

Zhuang Yun only bought a long sword in a blacksmith shop, which was of brown iron grade, and he felt distressed for several days when he bought it.

He took the giant sword without pretentiousness, and it was extremely heavy. Fortunately, his body has become more gamified, otherwise, he would not be able to pick it up. He has no professional sword skills, so he can only explore them by himself in the fight.

[Silver Rainbow Great Sword]

(Bronze Level)

Attack: 66-136

Defense: 89

Wear degree: 150

Effect: This giant sword weighs 10 kg. When attacking the enemy, there is a chance to trigger paralysis, that is, the certain attacked body part will be paralyzed for 1.5 seconds.

Zhuang Yun looked at the description message of the giant sword and was stunned for a moment, then a surprise flashed in his eyes. He said solemnly: “Thank you, I will return it to you when we finish.”

Shen Jufeng shook his head: “No need, you can just return it to me when you find a suitable or the same level of the sword. I don’t like heavy swords.” He didn’t like this sword. He just bought it because it was bronze.

He was holding a long, narrow sword called the Moon Breaker Blade, which was also at the bronze level.

Zhuang Yun just nodded, silently thinking that he must save up to afford a good weapon.

The three of them walked lightly in one direction, and there was probably a BOSS there.

After walking a few steps, Lu Jiu raised her hand and shouted to stop: “Stop, I heard something.” The other two stopped as she spoke and looked towards the barren mountain.

Zhuang Yun even held his breath and listened carefully. After a few seconds, he heard a sound, as if something was stepping on a stone. The sound became louder and louder, obviously coming from the other side of Pingjing Mountain.

Something was coming over there.

A black object suddenly appeared on the top of the towering Pingjing Mountain, swaying back and forth. Thanks to the gamified body, they could see that it looked like a barb.

Lu Jiu’s pupils constricted, and she shouted in his heart: It can’t be that!

The barb was connected to a long black object. More and more gravel rolled down from the top of the mountain, and the figure of the wild monster could be seen. It was a giant scorpion, completely black, with two front claws opening and closing.

The scorpion that was only as big as a finger on earth, now was like a big hill, with purple streamers flashing at the tips of the barbs.

[Black Scorpion]

(Mutated Boss)

HP: 1500

Attack: 166-200

Defense: 119

Effect: The black scorpion tail sting is highly poisonous, which had a chance to trigger the poisoning negative state, -5 HP per second, lasting for 5 minutes.

Meaning, if you were stabbed and poisoned, and if you can’t get rid of this state, you need at least 1500 HP to withstand it for 5 minutes. Who can withstand this?

“Don’t get stabbed.” Lu Jiu said dryly, and Zhuang Yun swallowed his saliva. He only has more than 800 HP now. He will die if he gets poisoned after being stabbed.

And this guy has such a high defense, it was really hard to fight.

“I will charge forward. Zhuang Yun, you pay attention to defense. Lu Jiu, you find a way to attack its soft places, and it doesn’t have much attack when you shoot arrows at its body.”

“Okay!”

“Understood.”

Shen Jufeng released the ring of death, which has a 1% chance of a one-hit kill. Plus, with his counterattack skill, he must rush forward in melee.

Lu Jiu stared at the black scorpion with a blank expression. This black and unremarkable thing doesn’t seem to have a weakness anywhere. She could only try her best to find its eyes.

But the eyes of the scorpion were not in the position they recognize. There was a pair of middle eyes in the center of the back, and three eyes on each side in the front.

Although there were eight eyes, this guy was blind. Its eyesight was extremely poor. After all, it can only find its prey by sensing the ground vibrations on its legs and clamps.

The black scorpion rushed toward the three of them without any hesitation. Shen Jufeng rushed forward first, and the Moon Breaker Blade collided with the scorpion’s front claws, making a crisp clang.

Zhuang Yun stood by and helped Shen Jufeng defend himself, and then took the opportunity to strike a few slashes.
