Chapter 31: Phantom Stone
Perhaps sensing Xu Youming's bad attitude, Beggar Zhang rarely showed a playful smile.
"Hehe, the old village chief has collected a phantom stone. If you can find the phantom stone, I promise to give you an unexpected reward."
Beggar Zhang painted an invisible pie for Xu Youming, but he had no choice but to accept it.
Xu Youming has already figured out the routine of this serial task, and he must go and kill the boss himself again.
Fortunately, my level did not drop during the task, so it is not unacceptable.
Two minutes later, Xu Youming came to the village chief. There were still many players here, and many of them had been upgraded to level 6.
When he saw Xu Youming, the village chief's eyes were obviously different.
"Did the old beggar ask you to come?"
Unexpectedly, before Xu Youming opened his mouth, the village chief took the initiative to speak.
"Yes, village chief, he asked me to come and ask for your Phantom Stone."
"Haha, this old guy really has a good plan."
The village chief said with a smile, showing no sign of displeasure.
"Young man, the Phantom Stone is not so easy to obtain. Are you ready?"
Xu Youming had no choice but to nod slightly.
"Okay, the monsters around the village have been getting more and more rampant recently. Go and help me deal with them . I will give you the Phantom Stone later."
[Ding, the village chief entrusts you to kill the vicious dogs, raccoons, devil claw frogs, ghost-faced butterflies, red-eyed cows, soul crows, iron-armed mantises, and sky-turning crocodiles around the village]
Xu Youming looked at the series of names behind him and suddenly felt a headache. Except for the first few he had heard people talk about, he had never heard of the ones after that.
What is this? Does the village chief want me to kill all the bosses around the Novice Village?
As if seeing the doubt in Xu Youming's eyes, the village chief continued: "You can refuse my request, of course you won't get the Phantom Stone, but I will talk to the old beggar, and he will still give you the previous reward."
Xu Youming knew in his heart that this should be an optional task. Since there was a better choice, given his personality, he would take the best.
"I accept."
After accepting the task, Xu Youming did not hesitate and immediately returned to the grocery store to replenish recovery items. He also went to the blacksmith shop to repair all his equipment.
The equipment he was wearing was all bronze, which increased his strength but was also very expensive.
All in all, Xu Youming spent 6 silver coins. It was really unrealistic to want to save money by killing monsters.
After all, no matter how well players calculate, they will never be as smart as the game planners.
According to the task prompt, the first vicious dog should be a level 3 boss, not far from the village.
When we arrived at the gathering place of wild dogs, we still encountered many players who were teaming up to kill monsters. Since the explosion rate in "Destiny" is very low, it is difficult for these players to improve their strength. Killing low-level monsters is also a way to upgrade.
“Woof woof!”
Perhaps Xu Youming was lucky. When he arrived, a group of players were surrounding a vicious dog and attacking it. The mad dog's health was only half left.
The health of a level 3 vicious dog is only 15,000. Under the siege of the crowd, its health drops by about 200 points per second. In less than half a minute, the vicious dog will die.
Whoosh——
-168
Xu Youming raised his sword and shot an arrow, causing considerable damage, but among the huge amounts of damage, no one paid any attention to it.
When the vicious dog's health dropped below 500 points, everyone waved their weapons frantically, trying to kill the Boss.
However, facing Xu Youming, who has extremely high damage, these people are destined to be disappointed.
Another arrow flew out, and the vicious dog's life was ended. The players around it only gained a portion of experience, and finally left in disappointment.
Evil Dog Teeth
Mission Props
No equipment was dropped this time. In addition to the mission items, there were also more than a dozen copper coins. This evil dog is really poor.
Perhaps because he was killed too many times, the explosion rate of his equipment dropped sharply.
Xu Youming thought that this mission of his might really be an opportunity. The first kill of the Boss would definitely drop equipment. As long as he was fast enough, he might be able to graduate first in the Novice Village.
After taking down the vicious dog, the word "vicious dog" in the task prompt turned gray. Next, it was the raccoon cat.
Xu Youming guessed that there should have been wild boars and pheasants before this mission, but he killed them first, so they were removed from the mission.
Bobcats are level 6 wild monsters, and their boss should be the raccoon cat. Bobcats are lurking at the intersection of the hillside and the forest. Although is relatively low, their movements are very flexible. They are one of the wild monsters that novice players don't like very much.
Xu Youming crossed Chunwang Slope and soon arrived at the location of the civet cat. There were not many players here, and most of them were hunting rabbits at Chunwang Slope.
Seeing Xu Youming carrying a green longbow on his back, many people wanted to come up and team up with him, but he rejected them all.
He only came for the Boss, the periphery was not suitable for him. According to experience, the deeper you go, the higher the probability of the Boss appearing.
Bobcat
Level: 6
HP: 2800
Attack: 58
Physical Defense: 18
Magic Defense: 21
Skill
Scratch: Attack the target twice in succession, each time causing 65% physical damage.
In terms of attributes, the mountain cat's attributes are weaker than wild monsters of the same level, but its advantage in speed completely makes up for this.
Especially its skills, because of its fast attack speed and high chance of triggering, it makes players miserable.
Xu Youming pulled the longbow to its full length and shot at a mountain cat on the treetop.
Whoosh——
-168
The bobcat's body fell, but it flexibly controlled the initiative in the air and landed lightly.
Just as it was about to pounce on Xu Youming, an arrow flew again.
Although it was very fast, it still fell down with hatred before it could touch Xu Youming in the face of huge damage.
A mountain cat contributes 30 experience points and 3 copper coins, which is a decent profit. This time Xu Youming has prepared enough jacaranda flowers, so he can use the projectile with confidence.
Moreover, he also bought two pots of Bamboo Leaf Green and Realgar Wine at the tavern in case of emergency.
After killing 4 or 5 mountain cats, Xu Youming entered the depths of the dense forest. The trees here were different from those in the wild boar forest. They were not as lush and green. Instead, they were desolate and the branches and leaves were very sparse.
This is the best way, as you can see far away at a glance and avoid being ambushed by a bobcat.
Seeing that there were no other players around, Xu Youming stopped immediately and started hunting nearby, waiting for the Boss to refresh.
Finally, after killing hundreds of mountain cats, Xu Youming saw a huge civet cat.
