Chapter 27: Hundred-year-old snake gall
This time, Xu Youming only paid more than 100 points of blood to kill the Bamboo Leaf Green Snake.
After the Bamboo Leaf Green died, 3 copper coins popped out, earning 3 yuan in about a minute, which was barely enough to break even.
The planner of this game is really good at calculating. If Xu Youming makes any mistake, the balance between income and expenditure will be broken. In order to play this game well, players will need to keep charging money into it.
After his level was raised, Xu Youming advanced much faster. He killed the bamboo green snakes along the way one by one, and there were already 5 snake gallbladders in the package.
Finally, after killing countless bamboo green snakes, Xu Youming walked out of the green bamboo forest. In front of him was a wide road. On the side of the road was a simple bamboo house with a flag hanging high on it, with a big word "wine" written on it.
It seems that this is the place I'm looking for.
Xu Youming jogged all the way to the outside of the tavern. An old man was lying comfortably on a bamboo chair in the yard, swaying constantly.
"Old man, let me get a pot of wine."
As soon as he reached the door, Xu Youming shouted inside.
Hearing the sound, the old man opened his eyes sleepily and a hint of doubt flashed across his mind, but he still stood up.
"Bamboo Leaf Green, 1 silver coin per pot."
Xu Youming came to the yard and found that every corner was filled with wine vats, and a fresh fragrance wafted into the air.
"I want an aged wine, the kind that's been brewed for 18 years."
Standing in front of the old man, Xu Youming repeated what Beggar Zhang had asked. Unexpectedly, the old man just glanced at Xu Youming and lay back on the bamboo chair.
"No, go ahead."
His tone was very impatient and he didn't give Xu Youming any chance to bargain.
This old man really doesn't play by the rules. Xu Youming had thought that the task would be similar to Sixiu's, asking him to kill the boss.
"Old sir, you can ask for anything you want. I really need a bottle of aged wine."
Xu Youming said respectfully, who asked me to ask for help? If I ask for help, I should have the attitude of asking for help.
"You've been fooled by that old beggar. I don't have any 18-year-old wine here."
When mentioning Beggar Zhang, the old man's face became even more angry, and it was obvious that something very unpleasant had happened between the two of them before.
This put Xu Youming in a difficult position. He was just a rookie in the game. If you give me a task, I will do it, but he was stuck here and he really didn't know what to do.
The two of them remained in a stalemate for two minutes, and the old man seemed to calm down a little.
"If he hadn't secretly opened my wine jar, would my jar of top-quality Bamboo Leaf Green have been wasted? Now he's still thinking about aging it for 18 years? Where can I get a new bottle of it?"
When Xu Youming heard what the old man said, he immediately relaxed. It turned out that this was the problem.
"Old sir, is there any way to remedy that jar of wine?"
The old man glanced at Xu Youming and shook his head slightly.
"Your strength is too weak, you should practice for a while longer."
Seeing that there was a chance, Xu Youming no longer cared about the old man judging people by their appearance.
"Old man, just tell me what you need to do, and I will do my best to help you solve it."
Seeing Xu Youming's firm attitude, the old man stood up from the bamboo chair and stared at Xu Youming with his deep eyes.
"Well, to restore the spirit of that jar of wine, you need a hundred-year-old snake gallbladder as a guide. If you can find a hundred-year-old snake gallbladder, why not give you a jar of it?"
[Ding, an accident occurred during the brewing process of the aged wine. Please find the century-old snake gallbladder as soon as possible to remedy the situation.]
Finally, a new task emerged. After saying goodbye to the old man, Xu Youming rushed back to the green bamboo forest.
According to the task prompt, the century-old snake gall is in this green bamboo forest. Although many players have reached level 6 now, few come to the green bamboo forest to level up.
There is no other reason, the poisoning effect here is too annoying and the front row can't stand it at all.
This made it convenient for Xu Youming, as he didn't have to worry about anyone stealing the monster.
After reaching level 6, a Bamboo Leaf Green Pit can only provide Xu Youming with 20 experience points, so there is still a long way to go if he wants to upgrade.
Whoosh——
-125
An arrow flew out and hit a green pit viper that was entangled on a bamboo pole in the distance. The pit viper suddenly fell down and began to crawl towards Xu Youming.
With previous experience, Xu Youming was more adept at dealing with these bamboo green snakes. Basically, he could kill a bamboo green snake by losing about 100 points of health.
Snap!
Suddenly, when a bamboo green snake fell down, something exploded for Xu Youming.
Snake venom
When applied to a weapon, it will have a poisoning effect that lasts for 60 seconds.
Poisoning: After hitting the target, the target will fall into a poisoned state, losing 1 health point per second for 10 seconds.
Looking at the green liquid, Xu Youming was overjoyed. With the snake venom, his attack would be greatly enhanced.
Although it only reduces 1 point of health per second, a total of 10 points of health, but it is enough to shoot more than 30 arrows within 60 seconds, and when added up, it means an increase of more than 300 points of damage.
After figuring this out, Xu Youming immediately found his next target. Before attacking, he smeared snake venom on the cockroach arrow.
Whoosh——
-122
immunity
The arrow flew and hit the Bamboo Leaf Green Snake, but the damage value disappointed Xu Youming.
This snake venom actually has no effect on the bamboo leaf green snake. It is really stupid. Why didn't he think of this? The other party is a poisonous snake. How is it possible to kill a poisonous snake with its own venom?
Now, a portion of snake venom was wasted. Xu Youming couldn't help but feel a pang of pain in his heart. Even if this item was sold, it would be worth at least one or two silver coins.
Helplessly, the arrow has been shot and there is no turning back, so Xu Youming began to look for the bamboo green snake in the bamboo forest.
As time passed, more and more bamboo green snakes fell under his arrows, and the amount of snake gall and venom in their packages continued to increase.
The setting of wild monsters in "Destiny" is really powerful. Generally speaking, it is difficult for players of the same level to deal with wild monsters of the same level. The purpose is to allow players to cooperate with each other.
Xu Youming, who was alone, could only keep pulling to reduce the number of times he was attacked. Even so, he could not avoid being poisoned.
For this purpose, he has used up three snake gallbladders.
[Ding, your projectile skill has been upgraded, currently at Lv3]
Projectile Lv3 (0/5000)
Mana consumption: 4 points
Skill Cooldown: 1 second
Increases shooting distance by 40% and causes 130% physical damage to a single target.
Unconsciously, the proficiency of the projectile skill has reached full level. Looking at the projectile attribute upgraded to level 3, Xu Youming was suddenly delighted.
After level 3, not only does the skill damage increase, but the shooting distance also increases by 10%, which is like a timely help for me.
With this 10% attack distance, he can kill the Bamboo Leaf Green without any damage.
