Chapter 021: Monster Mountain (1)

In the morning sunshine, Tai Lisuo followed Wang Jiu and walked on the road into the Warcraft Mountains.
Although it is called a road, there is actually no road in the Warcraft Mountains.
Everywhere there are towering trees that have been growing for who knows whether they are hundreds or thousands of years.
Big trees cover the sky and the ground is covered with thick dead branches and leaves, various weeds, or dense vines and thorns.
There are also high mountains, abysses, cliffs, boulders, etc. In short, there is no road. The so-called road is just a relatively safe terrain that adventurers can pass through.
After starting from the small valley and traveling for more than an hour, they had passed through the activity zone of the first-level monsters and reached the edge of the activity zone of the second-level monsters.
Along the way, Wang Jiu explained to Tai Lisuo a lot of common sense about the Warcraft Mountain.
For example, what kind of terrain is safer, what areas are more dangerous, what plants are poisonous, and what plants are edible.
Which monsters live in groups, which monsters like to be alone, etc.
After arriving at the activity area of ​​the second-level monsters, Wang Jiu took the Taili Lock and specifically looked for those monsters that acted alone to practice. Finding a second-level monster was not too difficult.
But you have to specifically look for a lone level 2 monster and avoid other monsters and adventurers, which makes it difficult to find.
Wang Jiu wandered around with Tai Lisuo until noon, and only found one and a half;
In the grass that was taller than a human, I found a level 2 Warcraft Flame Pig.

Although it is called a pig, its size is two or three times larger than that of pigs on Earth. Its innate ability is fire-breathing, and it has great strength.
To be on the safe side, Tai Lisuo cast a wind magic, the Wind of Detection.
This magic is that the magician uses the fluctuations of the wind element to detect whether there are people or monsters lurking in a certain area.
The Wind of Detection is a very practical, detecting magic.
With the help of the Wind of Exploration, it was found that there was indeed only one fire pig in the bushes.
Tai Lisuo then quietly and slowly moved towards the location of the Fire Pig.
Wang Jiu hid at the edge of the bushes and let Tai Lisuo take action alone.
Tai Lisuo walked forward slowly and quietly.
However, this fire pig was very alert. When Taili Lock was more than 20 meters away from it, the fire pig was startled to realize that someone was approaching it.
The fire pig sniffed hard and realized someone was approaching it, so it turned around and went to an area with more lush vegetation.
Seeing that the Flame Pig wanted to run away, Tai Lisuo no longer cared about hiding himself. He cast a Wind Walk spell on himself and accelerated to chase after the Flame Pig.
The effect of the previous hard training was revealed at this time. Tai Lisuo did not need to stop while chasing, and just waved his hand to control the magic and flew in front of the flame pig.
More than a dozen vines quickly wrapped around the flame pig. The flame pig was trapped. While struggling, it turned its head and sprayed a series of fireballs at the Taili Lock.
Tai Lisuo jumped up, avoiding the fireball, and attacked the fire pig's eyes and hind legs with wind blades and flying knives.
In order to prevent the flame pig from breaking free and escaping, two more control spells were cast. The flame pig was entangled and unable to move. It howled angrily and continuously spit fireballs at Tai Li Suo.
Tai Lisuo rolled over on the ground, dodging fireballs while casting wind blades and flying knives.
The fire pig has strong vitality. Even though its body is covered with wounds deep enough to see the bones, it still struggles and keeps spitting fireballs at Tai Lisuo.
Tai Lisuo saw that dodging was no use, so he cast an Earth Shield in front of him while the fire pig opened its mouth to spit fire.
Three flying knives shot into the pig's mouth and eyes in succession. The fire pig howled miserably and struggled desperately.
Tai Lisuo hid behind the Earth Shield and fired several waves of wind blades at the pig's legs, knocking the flame pig to the ground, and then watched the flame pig struggle on the ground.
After a long while, the Flame Pig stopped struggling and made no sound, and Tai Lisuo walked over.
After confirming that the Flame Pig was dead, he dug out the Flame Pig's magic core and put the entire Flame Pig into the storage ring.
This is the first monster hunted by Taili Suo. In order to commemorate this battle with the C girl, Taili Suo decided to take the fire pig back and eat it.
After dealing with this level 2 Flame Pig, Tai Lisuo was not injured, but he was a little tired.
It was mainly because of the lack of combat experience. I was a little nervous during the battle and failed to control the rhythm and output. I wasted a lot of mental energy and consumed a lot of energy.
Wang Jiu came over and said to Tai Lisuo, "How are you? Are you okay?"
Tai Lisuo said: "It's okay, but the consumption of mental energy is quite large. When fighting just now, I failed to control the output of mental energy and wasted a lot of mental energy. Now I feel a little tired."
Wang Jiu said: "Take your time, don't rush. Whether in the army or among the adventurers in the Monster Mountain Range, magicians are basically in the rear and don't need to rush to the front to fight.
There will also be warriors who specifically protect magicians. On the one hand, most magicians are physically weak, and second, most magicians are not good at close combat. Third, it takes time for magicians to cast magic, and they cannot let enemies or monsters get close to them. "
Tai Lisuo said: "Haha, so, I can kill a level 2 monster by myself, so I am considered a master among magicians of the same level?"
Wang Jiu smiled and said, "You are already a master. With your current level, everyone in a small place like Ping'an Town will definitely be begging for you to join their adventure team."
Tai Lisuo said: "I never thought that there would be a day when I would become a hot commodity, haha."
Wang Jiu said: "Let's go, let's leave here first. Otherwise, the noise of the battle just now will attract monsters or adventurers."
Tai Lisuo said: "Okay, you lead the way."
After quickly leaving the battle scene, the two men found a towering tree and climbed onto a branch more than 20 meters above the ground to rest.

Tai Lisuo sighed, "It seems that the life of an adventurer is not easy! Not to mention the dangers, you can't make much money just by hunting low-level monsters."
Wang Jiu said: "Those who have reached level 4 or above, warriors and magicians, are all in great demand, so there is no need to take risks in the Magic Beast Mountain Range.
But many people can only stay below level 4 for their entire lives, and those who cannot break through to level 4. If they don’t have a family or power behind them, most of them can only join the army or become adventurers.”
Tai Lisuo said: "Joining the army is not necessarily safe, and you have to be controlled by others. Adventurers are freer, but more dangerous."
Wang Jiu said: "Look, we just took half a day to hunt down a level 2 magic beast today, and a level 2 magic core can only be sold for four or five gold coins in Ping'an Town.
If it is a level 3 magic core, it can be sold for about 30 gold coins each, and the monster meat and monster skin can also be sold for some money. For the warriors and magicians at the bottom, it is already a good income! "
Tai Lisuo asked: "By the way, if I take the magic core to the city to sell it, will the price be higher?"
Wang Jiu said: "The price will be higher in the city. Two level one magic cores can be sold for one gold coin, and one level two magic core can be sold for five or six gold coins.
A level three magic core is around 40 gold coins, a level four magic core can be sold for 300 to 500 gold coins, and a level five magic core is at least 2,000 gold coins. A level six magic core is even more valuable, at least tens of thousands of gold coins each."
Tai Lisuo asked, "Old Wang, did you usually go to the city to sell your goods before?"
Wang Jiu said: "It's several hundred kilometers from Ping'an Town to the nearest city, and the road is not safe. Although the prices in Ping'an Town are lower, adventurers will choose to sell things in Ping'an Town. One is that it is relatively safe, and the other is that they don't have to run around and waste time. Of course, I am no exception."
Tai Lisuo asked, "By the way, why is there such a big difference in price between a level 4 or 5 magic core?"
Wang Jiu said: "Some magic beasts are rare and hard to come by, so they are definitely more expensive than ordinary magic cores of the same level. For example, the magic core of a lightning-type magic beast is one or two times more expensive than a wind-type or earth-type magic core of the same level."
"Also, among all level 5 magical beasts, some are only at the initial stage of level 5, while others have reached the peak of level 5 and are only one step away from being level 6 magical beasts. In this case, the prices of their magic cores will also vary greatly."
Tai Lisuo said, "That's true. Scarcity makes things valuable. By the way, it's not difficult for you to hunt level 5 or 6 monsters now, Lao Wang. Then, isn't it easy for you to earn gold coins?"
Wang Jiu said: "It's easy to say. Once you reach level seven, you are considered a high-level warrior. If you want, you can rely on those big families and big forces. You will get gold coins and secrets. You don't have to work so hard to hunt monsters."
Tai Lisuo said: "I don't want to be someone else's thug. It seems that I will have to rely on hunting monsters to make a living in the future..."
Wang Jiu said: "You can't just kill monsters above level seven whenever you want. Monsters that reach level seven and above often have their own forces;
For example, a level nine magical beast will often have quite a few level seven and eight magical beasts attached to it.
If you kill high-level monsters indiscriminately, you may be retaliated by powerful monsters. Unless you are so powerful that ordinary high-level monsters dare not provoke you. "
Tai Lisuo said, "Is that so? Then just kill the monsters below level seven. Level six magic cores are worth a lot of money."
Wang Jiu said: "You think too much! When you cultivate to the seventh level of warrior, you want the eighth level cultivation secrets, which can only be found occasionally at the auction house.
An eighth-level fighting spirit secret would cost tens of millions of gold coins, and an eighth-level magic secret would be even more expensive.
It would cost tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of gold coins. How many level 6 monsters would you have to hunt to be able to afford it?"
Tai Lisuo said, "Damn! So expensive? Oh! Forget it, let's talk about it later!"
Wang Jiu said: "Of course it's expensive. High-level magic and fighting secrets are the heritage of major families and major forces. It's hard to find them even at auctions. How can they not be expensive?"
Tai Lisuo said, "Don't think too much about it. Anyway, I'll wait until I can cultivate to the seventh level warrior, which is still a long way off! By the way, Lao Wang, didn't you say that you are already on the verge of the eighth level? Do you have the secret to cultivating the eighth level of fighting spirit?"
Wang Jiu said: "Yes, my master gave it to me, but it only has the secrets from level one to level eight. As for the ninth level cultivation method, I can only think of a way later!"
Tai Lisuo said, "Well, it seems that for a long time in the future, before I get the magic secrets of level 4 and above, I have to focus on cultivating my fighting spirit. I will cultivate my fighting spirit first, and then slowly figure out other things together."
Wang Jiu said, "You should recover. We will stay here tonight. Tomorrow I will take you to find a lone Level 2 monster. If you hunt a Level 2 monster a few more times, you should be able to kill it easily."
Tai Lisuo said: "Okay, then I will recover my mental strength first."
