Chapter 3: Killing the Beast in the Black Stone Forest
At the entrance of the village, players who came online at about the same time gathered in groups of three or five.
There are only 45 players in the Blackwater Tribe, and among them there are a dozen or so players who are just trying out experiences. That is, they never go out for adventures, but just stay in the tribe to grow vegetables, raise chickens, and weave cloth, purely for the sake of experiencing ancient life.
After three months of getting to know each other, the remaining adventurers had formed a fixed team.
Qin Mo also has a team.
It's just that he was using a substitute and didn't want to contact his previous teammates again to avoid exposing his flaws.
Outside the tribe is the wilderness.
The Black Water tribe lives together but does not engage in production. The natives mainly hunt. Gray wolves, Shiba dogs, bison, as well as wild beasts such as jackals, tigers and leopards live in the wilderness. Their strength is equivalent to that of the flesh/tendon training realm.
It is also the target of monsters killed by players in the early stage.
Qin Mo did not stay in the wilderness, but went straight to the Black Stone Forest, where many ferocious beasts lived.
Ferocious beasts are mutated from wild beasts. They are larger, have tougher fur, sharper claws, and of course more dangerous. They can be divided into low-level, medium-level, and high-level.
Even low-level beasts have the level of skin/bone training and are very difficult to deal with.
Before this, the original owner's team would kill lone wild beasts in the wilderness to earn some experience points, and use the animal carcasses to exchange for some money at inns and tailor shops.
Qin Mo is different.
With the support of "Star Shattering Sword Technique", he was confident that it would be no problem for him to advance two small realms in strength. Although he was only at the tendon training stage, he was able to rival the masters at the bone training stage .
It should be no problem to deal with low-level ferocious beasts.
…
The Black Stone Forest is ten miles away from the Black Water Tribe, and Qin Mo walked for more than half an hour.
He doesn't know any martial arts skills.
It’s not that Qin Mo doesn’t want to learn, but there is no such thing as light Kung Fu at all. The "Star-Breaking Sword Technique" does have matching body movements, but they are about the techniques of "twisting, moving, jumping and hopping".
It has nothing to do with Qinggong.
A person's moving speed depends only on physical factors such as strength, explosive power, endurance, qi and blood. It is impossible to accelerate rapidly by knocking the left foot against the right foot.
Entering the woods, Qin Mo drew out the sword hanging at his waist. It was not a good sword, but just the most ordinary iron sword sold in the blacksmith shop.
He was also a man of great skill and courage. He did not do any reconnaissance and just barged in. His powerful soul transformed into a "little radar" and actively searched for traces of the ferocious beast.
Soon, Qin Mo found the target.
It was a three-eyed black tiger lying under a big tree for a nap. It was a low-level ferocious beast, more than five meters long, with shiny black fur and a vertical eye between its eyebrows. It looked like it was not easy to mess with.
Qin Mo swung his sword and rushed forward.
The three-eyed black tiger was also alert. When Qin Mo was still twenty meters away, it had already sensed the danger, opened its three blood-red eyes, and slowly stood up.
"roar!!!!"
The three-eyed black tiger issued a warning, saying that it had just eaten and did not want to cause any trouble.
Qin Mo continued to move forward, and within a few breaths he had approached the three-pupiled black tiger, finally angering the latter. The latter leaped on the spot, using the move of a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey, and attacked Qin Mo like a mountain falling down on its head.
Sharp claws popped out from the palms, emitting a cold light.
Qin Mo was not afraid. He slid on his knees and dodged the sharp claws of the three-eyed black tiger by a hair's breadth. He stabbed out with the iron sword in his hand almost at the same time. With a flash of sword light, he directly ripped open the belly of the three-eyed black tiger.
Flash sale!
If outsiders saw this scene, they would probably be shocked.
Not to mention Qin Mo, a rookie in the early stages of muscle training, even Tang Hao, the top master of the Black Water Tribe, needed the cooperation of his teammates to kill the Three-Pupil Black Tiger.
After all, the level of cultivation is only strength on paper.
A true life-and-death duel also requires factors such as combat experience, on-the-spot response, equipment, and secret techniques. Because of the overly realistic setting of "Honghuang", new players will find it very difficult in the early stages.
Players lack combat experience, have insufficient understanding of monster characteristics, are not proficient in combat skills, and have weak fighting will. If there is any problem in any link, they may die on the spot.
But for Qin Mo, these simply do not exist.
After thousands of years of experience, I have seen all kinds of situations.
It was precisely because of this that Qin Mo was able to kill the three-eyed black tiger swiftly and without any delay before its third eye could unleash its power.
"Kill the three-eyed black tiger and gain 100 experience points." A prompt sounded in Qin Mo's mind.
Qin Mo was not panicked. He guessed that the prompt sound or the light curtain should be the result of a powerful person tinkering with his brain and setting up some secret method.
This is not difficult to achieve.
It’s a bit similar to the system popular in online novels, except that everyone has a copy.
As long as it doesn't affect his cultivation, Qin Mo won't care.
The experience points in "Honghuang" can be obtained by killing monsters, completing tasks and other channels. They can be used to speed up the practice of martial arts, and in the later stages they can even be used to integrate and deduce martial arts.
It's simply a plug-in on the road to spiritual practice.
Qin Mo pondered that experience points were somewhat similar to the merits in the ancient universe and could assist in spiritual practice.
For him, experience points play an even greater role. For example, he has already thoroughly comprehended the "Nine-Transformation Golden Body Technique" that he is practicing now. As long as he uses experience points to push forward, there will be no unstable foundation at all.
It's as steady as a dog.
Qin Mo pulled out a small knife and peeled off the skin of the three-eyed black tiger. He also took out the tiger whip, tiger bones and the most essential piece of meat from the tiger and put them into the dimensional space.
The rest were simply abandoned.
With a desire for experience points, Qin Mo hurriedly looked for his next target.
…
The sun sets.
In the open space, Qin Mo used local materials to build an extra-large barbecue grill, on which he was roasting a whole red-haired wild boar. The color was golden and the aroma was overwhelming.
This place is close to the center of the Black Stone Forest.
At the end of the day, Qin Mo walked almost all over the outskirts of the Black Stone Forest, including the one that was currently being roasted on the fire, and killed a total of five low-level ferocious beasts, earning a total of 500 experience points.
After all, "Honghuang" is still a real world, and there is no such thing as monster refresh.
In order to ensure an adequate food supply, each ferocious beast has a fixed territory, which is at least more than 20 square kilometers in area. This is despite the abundant food in the Black Stone Forest.
The territory of some of the more domineering beasts may even be hundreds of square kilometers.
Qin Mo was able to kill five ferocious beasts within one day, which was already very efficient. Many adventurer teams might not be able to complete an effective kill in a day, and their work might be in vain.
While waiting for dinner, Qin Mo began to use up his experience points to practice the "Nine Transformations of the Golden Body".
"Consume 100 experience points to practice the Nine Transformations Golden Body Technique to the first level."
"Consume 200 experience points to practice the Nine Transformations Golden Body Technique to the second level."
The first two levels consume relatively little experience points because of the physical foundation, but starting from the third level, the experience points required increase dramatically.
The third level requires 1,000 experience points.
Right after the upgrade, Qin Mo felt a magical energy coming down from the heavens. His blood and energy were surging, and his physical strength and explosive power were increasing rapidly.
At the same time, I felt an extremely strong sense of hunger in my stomach, and I wanted to eat a whole cow.
Fortunately, Qin Mo was well prepared. The wild boar on the grill was just cooked through. He didn't care about the heat and ate it voraciously, finishing most of it quickly.
The hunger finally eased a little.
Then, Qin Mo ate the whole roasted wild boar at a normal speed.
Hiccup~~~
I'm full...
Then, Qin Mo checked his personal attributes.
Realm: Body-building stage (muscle training is perfect)
Qi and blood: 25
Skills: "Nine-turn Golden Body Technique" (second level/ninth level), "Star-breaking Sword Technique" (first level/ninth level)
Remaining experience points: 300 points
The realm has been elevated to the perfection of tendon training, and the qi and blood have increased by 12 points.
This is mainly due to the "Nine-Turn Golden Body Technique".
The more advanced the body-building technique, the more energy and blood will be enhanced in each small realm. Qin Mo rebuilt the first two levels, which was equivalent to making up for the shortcomings left by the previous body-building.
Of course, the roasted wild boar that had just been eaten also contributed a lot. The meat of this kind of ferocious beast is rich in qi and blood, and is the best tonic for monks in the body-building stage.
After putting out the bonfire, Qin Mo got up and left. It was time to go back.
