Chapter 64: Zhurong’s Clan

After thinking about it, I finally decided to catch wild boars. After all, I only have three in my hands, so it is still a bit difficult to carry out leasing business. And now many people have reached 10,000 and can open their own shops. Once they take the lead, my business will definitely shrink significantly.

So catching as many wild boars as possible or other types of mounts is my current top priority.

It is still the "Chiyou Tribe". However, the number of wild boar cavalry intercepted on the road this time has decreased significantly. This may be because their tribal leader "Xing Tian" has been eliminated by us. A few hours later, I have successfully caught seventeen wild boars, but after that, I have not gained anything.

When I came to the "Jiuli Mountain" where the "Chiyou Tribe" was located, there were only a few Chiyou warriors in the tribe, and I easily killed them. I found three wild boars, probably they were newly found. In the rooms of the tribe, there was nothing else except some living utensils. These living utensils were obviously very primitive and had no value at all. This was why I looked down on them last time. After searching, I still found nothing special. I left the "Chiyou Tribe" and turned to the "Youxiong Tribe".

Although Xuanyuan Yi, the leader of the "Youxiong Tribe", was killed by me a few days ago, his own strength was not consumed much. The low-level Youxiong Warriors have refreshed countless times, and the cavalry units that attracted my attention the most were even more numerous.

With the help of me with the help of traps, bows and arrows and the White Tiger, there are many mounts following the White Tiger, among which the "elk" is the most tame. As long as the White Tiger becomes the original state (that is, the big tiger state), I immediately bow my head and surrender. After all, as the lowest-level animal in the food chain except plants, I have no courage to rebel in front of the descendants of the divine beasts like the White Tiger.

Horses are more difficult to deal with because the white tiger has no effect on them at all. In addition, it is originally wild and difficult to tame, so most horses start suicide attacks after their owners die. As long as a few "wild horses" successfully become my mount (it is to rely on "submission technique" to subdue), but this is just my own mount, and others cannot ride it at all, and it is a waste of effort.

So in the end, I just went to specialize in the deer and cavalry. Anyway, these guys were not only numerous, but also very easy to capture. So I successfully caught twenty-three "elks" this day, and I transported them back to Pangu City and handed them over to Xiaolong for care.

The next day, I also wanted to capture the mounts, but I found that neither the wild boar nor the "elk" could see the shadows. In desperation, I thought of going to the "Gonggong Family" and "Zhurong Family" to take a look. According to the experience of "Chyou Tribe" and "Youxiong Tribe", these two tribes should also have their own cavalry. After all, cavalry is relatively the most powerful military in the world, and there are many kinds of monsters that can be used as mounts in various places, so building cavalry has also become a trend.

Now, I am riding Xiaobai and holding the white tiger toward the "Zhurong". The deepest feeling is that it is getting hotter and hotter. In my feeling, even the hottest period of summer in reality would be slightly lower than here. Conservatively, it would be at least forty degrees. If the white tiger in my arms would spew a breath of cold air around my body every once in a while, I would have fainted with "heat stroke".

Not only that, but what is even more annoying is that so far, I have not seen a warrior from the "Zhurong Family", and even the lowest-level one has not appeared. This makes me very depressed. I have thought of going back several times, but when I look at the way I walk (fly?), I still grit my teeth and let Xiaobai continue to move forward.

Compared to me, Xiaobai and Baihu are much more comfortable. The White Tiger itself is an ice-type monster in the water system, and this small amount of heat is nothing to it. However, Xiaobai, due to his strength, can be said to be "invisible to cold and heat", and also achieved the calmness of the White Tiger, and a cool breeze blew from time to time. Coupled with the cold air that originally lingered around me, I enjoyed the cool feeling of the scorching sun.

After walking, I finally came to a mountain, but the name of the mountain is absolutely speechless. Look - Flame Mountain. According to legend, Sun Wukong kicked over the "Bagua Furnace" used to refine the alchemy by "Taishang Laojun". The sky fire in the "Bagua Furnace" fell into a mountain in the mortal world, thus forming the current "Flame Mountain". Although the "Zhurong" is also a clan playing with fire, it seems that it has nothing to do with "Flame Mountain"?

Although I was complaining about Zhang Guanli Dai who was a game designer, I was relieved to find the gathering place of "Zhurong Family". Here I finally saw the warrior of "Zhurong Family", a kind of "fire warrior".

As the name suggests, "Fire Warrior" was burning with flames all over his body, holding a long sword that also released flames in his hand, yelling at me in the air. I didn't care what he said, and vented all his previous resentment on this stupid guy. The steel arrows kept sinking into the body of the "Fire Warrior", but the damage was not great, because although the flame on his body could not completely melt the steel arrows I shot, it could still melt the sharp arrows.

Therefore, before the steel arrow touched the body of the "Fire Warrior", its arrow had actually been melted by the red flame on the body of the "Fire Warrior", so the steel arrow could only shoot through the skin of the "Fire Warrior". That health value that can be ignored is really nothing to the "Fire Warrior".

When I discovered this situation, I immediately raised my height and called the "fire warrior" to the yelling "fire warrior". This time the steel arrows were several times faster, and the number was large, so soon the shouts of the "fire warrior" were drowned in his own screams.

There are no cavalry! Damn! So far, I have hunted 37 "fire warriors", but I have not seen a single cavalry. They appeared alone without exception, and at most they were just two partners, as if the "Zhurong" did not know the saying "unity is strength".

But it doesn't matter to me. Anyway, as long as "ten thousand arrows are fired at once", it will be done in at most two minutes. The only disadvantage is that the consumption of bows and arrows is too high. When the steel arrows are taken out from the "Fire Warrior", most of them have been seriously deformed, and a few of them have simply turned into steel. How terrifying these "Fire Warriors" are! No wonder there is the least information about the "Zhurong Family" and the "Konggong Family". I think it is because of their special geographical environment.

I kept going deep into the "Flame Mountain" and finally found different Zhurong warriors, named "Fire Warriors". Although they also had flames on them, their flames were slightly lighter in color and blue-white. Whether from the temperature of the flames (the lighter the color, the higher the temperature) or from the level of these Zhurong warriors, this "Fire Warrior" is much stronger than the previous "Fire Warriors".

The most special thing is that every "Fire Warrior" that appears has a "Fire Warrior" follower, which is definitely a troublesome thing for players fighting on the ground. But for me, is it still the same? "Shot Ten Thousand Arrows" can be easily killed by "Shot Ten Thousand Arrows" from the sky; but when dealing with the "Shot Ten Thousand Arrows" I encountered a little trouble. Obviously, because of the increase in the flame temperature, even if I use the "Shot Ten Thousand Arrows" method to shoot out, when I touched the flame, the steel arrows were inevitably melted away, and were melted away by the entire piece. It seems that the temperature of the blue-white flame was more than twice as high.

So I replaced the steel arrow with "alloy arrow". This time the blue-white flame did not destroy the "alloy arrow". The "alloy arrow" easily shot into the body of the "Fire Warrior" and shot in the vital parts. Only nine arrows killed the "Fire Warrior". I went down to the ground and looked at the "Fire Warrior" who slowly turned into powder. I picked up the "alloy arrow" and looked carefully. There was no major damage, but the durability and attack power were reduced more, and other attributes did not change.

I was overjoyed. It seemed that the power of the "alloy arrows" was far higher than that of ordinary steel arrows. After all, they had accumulated the efforts of Master Qu Yezi for several days. In this way, the next thing was much simpler. The "alloy arrows" continued to play their role, but over time, I found that even the 50 "alloy arrows" in my hand were still facing the embarrassing state of lack of ammunition.

Although the "alloy arrow" can play a role, the continuous shooting caused its durability to plummet, and it soon reached the critical point of scrapping - durability 5/300, forcing me to put them away. Looking at the more and more "fire warriors" deep in the "Flame Mountain" and their followers "fire warriors", it was difficult for me to decide. Could it be that I must use the "cold iron arrow"? But in this case, I cannot use the "cold iron arrow" effectively. After all, the "cold iron arrow" itself will not come back automatically. Even if I can kill a "fire warrior" with one arrow, facing the "fire warriors" who are gathering more and more, the "cold iron arrow" cannot exert its true power at all, so I gave up my thoughts in my heart.

It seems that the White Tiger can only be let go. Staying away from these "fire warriors", I put down the White Tiger on a mountain road. Seeing that the White Tiger turned into a huge combat form again, I roughly mentioned my plan.

After hearing what I said, Baihu nodded and ran towards the hot mountains. At this time, I realized that I could not bear such strong heat without the white tiger. I quickly let Xiaobai take off and relieve the current dilemma.

It was not until Xiaobai rose to 1,500 meters that I let it stop. At such a high altitude, although I did not have to be affected by the strong enthusiasm on the ground, I could not see the battle situation clearly at the same time. But as the red representing the "Fire Warrior" continued to disappear, I knew that the advantage of the battle was on the White Tiger; as for the "Fire Warrior", because the flames were blue-white, they could not be distinguished at all, so I didn't know their damage. However, according to my estimate, the white Tiger was close to the level of monsters and the ice-type spells among the water-type spells that the White Tiger itself was good at, which should be a one-sided scene.

After an hour, I let Xiaobai slowly descend to the ground. What was shown in front of me was a piece of broken limbs and broken arms. Most of the "Fire Warriors" and "Fire Warriors" were broken after the freezing, and some were still in the shape of ice sculptures.

Of course, these did not attract too much attention. The round beads on the ground occupied my sight. I picked up one of the red beads, felt the heat it exuded, and looked at its attributes: Zhurong Battle Soul, increased the fire spell by 10%, and the level was "yellow".

I picked up another round bead of the same size but appeared in blue and white. At first glance, it was also "Zhurong Battle Soul", but its attributes were improved, increasing the fire spell by 20%, and the level was "Xuan" level. Looking at the two and the corpses on the ground, I knew that this was the "War Soul" left by "Fire Warrior" and "Fire Warrior". Although I don't know what the "War Soul" is, I know that these "Zhurong Battle Souls" contain the energy before the Zhurong Warrior died, and their colors just reflect this.

Of course, I happily accepted such a good baby. I searched around the battlefield and found a total of 47 yellow-level "Zhurong Battle Souls", and 41 mysterious-level "Zhurong Battle Souls". Thinking about it carefully, it is not right. The "Fire Warriors" and "Fire Warriors" here both appear in pairs, and there should be no situation where the number does not match.

When I looked up, I saw the frozen "Fire Warrior" in a strange posture. I suddenly realized that this was the case, and the remaining few were all frozen. This situation alone also shows that these "Zhurong Warriors" came from the body of Zhurong Warriors. In other words, if you want to obtain the "Zhurong Warriors", you must break the frozen bodies of the remaining six "Fire Warriors".

If I were normal, I wouldn't do such things. After all, in the game, these Zhurong warriors are humans, so it would be absolutely unforgettable for me to dissect the corpse. But now, as long as these frozen corpses come on for a moment, they will be divided into pieces, and the "Zhurong War Soul" will naturally be obtained, without the bloody, broken and disgusting scene.

Of course, the executioner is still the White Tiger. The White Tiger has no suggestion. The white body rotates, and the remaining six corpses exploded. Six blue-white "Zhurong Battle Souls" flew into the air and finally landed in my hands one by one. My speed was also very good.

After packing up several other drop-off equipment on the battlefield, I began to head towards the center of "Flame Mountain". However, this time I did not ride Xiaobai, but regarded the White Tiger as a mount. After all, the temperature is getting higher and higher now is not something I can bear. Staying by the White Tiger is the best choice.

On the way, I could encounter several "fire warriors" and "fire warriors" and I also discovered the reason for the formation of these "Zhurong battle souls". In order to save the arrows, I set my sights on the "fire warriors", but the "fire warriors" I killed did not leave any "Zhurong battle souls" after their death; but all Zhurong warriors who were attacked by the cold air of the white tiger formed the "Zhurong battle souls".

Through comparison, I made an assumption that the cold air of the White Tiger not only freezes the bodies of the Zhurong warriors, but also freezes the flames in their original bodies. After the freezing process, the flames contracted sharply, and finally formed the "Zhurong warrior soul" in my hand. In other words, each "Zhurong warrior soul" in my hand represents the fire energy contained in the body of a Zhurong warrior. In other words, I have more than fifty Zhurong warriors in my hand.

This kind of gain is undoubtedly huge. There is a secret that I have mastered. Maybe I can use it to make a big splash. After all, there are many monsters containing the five elements of energy in the body now, but most of them are not boss-level advanced monsters, and there is no possibility of the formation of inner alchemy. Such monsters will not leave anything important after they die. But now it is different. As long as the white tiger gives them all a cold attack before attacking, the five elements of energy contained in their bodies will crystallize and form a round bead like "Zhurong Battle Soul". With the good attributes of "Zhurong Battle Soul", you can definitely sell it at a good price.

Thinking of the future money situation, I looked at the white tiger who was acting coquettishly beside me and laughed out loud. Of course, the white tiger who didn't understand what "money" was not aware of the sinister "conspiracy" in the heart of its master.

After more than an hour, we finally arrived at the center of "Flame Mountain", which is the pass of an active volcano. This pass is not very large, only about five kilometers in radius, but the hot magma in it reminds me that it may erupt at any time. Therefore, when I see the magma churning scene, I let Xiaobai take off at any time so that we can run away if we are in case.

I searched for a long time before I found a human-shaped object on a stone that was very close to magma. It was said that it was an object because this guy had no clothes on his body except sitting cross-legged on it, and his hair was not long (or was roasted into gray by high temperature?), and his body color was fiery red. If you don't pay attention, you wouldn't be able to find this guy at all. But this guy has a loud name and a fearful name - Zhurong, the inheritor of the Fire God Zhurong for thousands of years.

According to the historical records of Xuanyuan City, although the new Zhurong clan cannot obtain all the strength of the Zhurong clan of the previous generation, it can accept all the memories of the Zhurong clan of the previous generation. Therefore, if he wants to fight this guy, unless his own flame strength is relatively low now, it will definitely be a human-shaped weapon.

I looked at this guy and thought about how to effectively use the resources in my hands. The "cold iron arrow" cannot be fired casually, at least it must wait until this guy leaves the crater; it is obviously unwise to make a difference in the cold air of the White Tiger here, and the geographical advantage can be said to be completely on the side of Zhurong. I have Xiaobai and White Tiger, which can be said to be half a pound of weight. As for the time, it has no big impact.

So now I can say that I am at a disadvantage. While I was thinking, Zhu Rong, who was originally sitting on the stone, moved. He slowly raised his hands. As his hands were raised, the boiling magma in front of him actually rose as if it was grabbed by someone with his hands, and slowly drifted out a flame. The originally fiery red flame gradually changed its color, from the original fiery red to the light, orange, yellow, light yellow..., and finally turned into pure white.

Looking at the pure white flame, I felt the huge and terrifying energy. Coupled with the uneasy roars of Xiaobai and the white tiger beside me, I made a quick decision to restore the white tiger to its kitten form. I jumped onto Xiaobai at once, and then the white tiger jumped up. Just as I sat firmly, Xiaobai had already taken off the air. When we were more than 10 meters away from the ground, the white flame arrows held by Zhurong Shixu shot towards us like.

Looking at the white flames getting closer and closer, I was shocked and quickly placed the white tiger in front of me to let it emit cold air. However, the white tiger that had not transformed can only exert its ordinary strength now, so that little cold air cannot compete with the white flames at all. In the "hissing" sound, all the cold air was evaporated, leaving a stream of white smoke.

Of course, the white flame also became smaller due to the cold blocking, and at the same time it slowed down. In addition, it collided with the "cold iron arrow" shot out in horror, and finally turned into invisible. We were already safe, but this time I lost the "cold iron arrow" again, and the only one left was the "cold iron arrow". This time, I can say that it was an unprecedented failure. It was a complete failure. The frustration in my heart was speechless. I was depressed and urged Xiaobai to return to Xuanyuan City and go offline.

It was already past seven o'clock in the evening when I was online again. This was because when I was lying in bed, I suddenly remembered that I didn't leave food for Xiaobai and Baihu before leaving. Now more than four hours have passed, that is, the twelve hours in the game. Xiaobai and Baihu are not having a big fuss in the game? Especially now they are in the "Tianxia Inn" in Xuanyuan City.

My heart was cold and I hurriedly entered the game and appeared in the intermediate guest room of "Tianxia Inn". What appeared in front of me was a mess. As I thought, these two guys couldn't help but get hungry and directly knocked through the door of the guest room and rushed out of the inn. I asked the guys at "Tianxia Inn" to find out what happened.

It turned out that after Xiaobai and Baihu rushed out of the "Tianxia Inn", Xiaobai flew out of the city with the white tiger transformed into a kitten, and started a massacre at "Summer Mountain" to store food for themselves. Of course, facing these two pets that were not around the owner, many players became greedy, especially when they saw Xiaobai's majestic posture, more than a hundred players attacked them in total.

However, their attacks were nothing to Xiaobai and Baihu, two guys second only to monsters. In addition, they often stayed with me and were very familiar with traps, so they had an advantage in the sky and underground. After dozens of people were killed or injured, someone finally retreated. Baihu took Xiaobai back to Mount Sumeru and temporarily became the mountain king.

I felt relieved when I heard this. Fortunately, nothing big happened, otherwise I would have regretted it. I quickly bought a lot of meat food in the "Tianxia Restaurant" and rushed to Mount Sumeru.

On the way, I kept listening to the players discussing the situation of Xiaobai and his battle with the players, and secretly hated them. After the matter is done, I must go to the government to sue them. Even if I die, I will be wanted at the price.

I was resentful and my pace was much faster. I didn't run hard for a long time, but I actually found that my speed did not increase at all. You should know that I had three points of agility in the previous upgrade, and the speed should be improved a little, but now it seems that there is no improvement at all, and it is even a slight trend as before. Similarly, my movements are not so smooth during running. Many times when I avoid obstacles, I have to slow down. This is something that would never happen before.

Although I was running rapidly, my heart was full of doubts. What was going on? The relevant settings of the game were constantly passing through my mind, and finally I thought of a possibility before rushing to Mount Sumeru. That is, after the system upgrade, the game has a regulation on attributes and skills in order to highlight the actual factors, that is, if you don’t use it for a long time, whether it is your basic attributes or the skills you have, it will become awkward, the success rate will be greatly reduced, or even completely abandoned.

When I saw this regulation, I just laughed it off because of course my skills would be used frequently and I had no concerns about this, so I quickly forgot about this regulation. And then because of the convenience of Xiaobai, I often used it for transportation and would not have any problems walking, but I lacked exercise in running. Now my speed is estimated to be only about 70, which is much worse than my 104.

This speed is really a bit miserable. I decided that I would not use Xiaobai as a mount unless it was absolutely necessary.

After nearly two hours of running, I finally arrived at the foot of Mount Sumeru. Looking at the strange but familiar Mount Sumeru, I sighed in my heart that last time I sat directly on Xiaobai, but this time I needed to run up by myself, hoping not to encounter any danger. After all, if those monsters rushed forward, I could only rely on speed to run away, but now I don’t have much confidence in my speed!
Chapter completed!
