Chapter 38 Hunting the Autumn BOSS, the Angry Dragonfly!
“Sizzle~”
The fat ham is roasted on the campfire until it sizzles and oozes oil.
An alluring fragrance wafted in the air and was inhaled by Mulin Baofeng.
Then, her stomach growled even louder.
He looked down at the few pitiful berries in his hand, then looked up at the big ham on the campfire.
What a difference!
Gulp .
I couldn't help swallowing.
If it were a relationship not long ago.
She would always come forward generously and naturally, and ask Xu Mu to share a piece of meat.
After all, in her eyes, Xu Mu was just a follower who occasionally killed a monster and got a piece of fat meat.
As the boss, what's wrong with me taking half? Is that too much?
After all, the big sister also provided strategies and protection to the younger brother!
But the current situation is a little delicate...
Xu Mu didn't use the strategy she provided at all.
I don't even know what method was used to make those monsters fight each other.
In the end, he reaps the benefits.
Moreover, looking at the calm look on his face, it doesn't look like he did it by accident at all.
Does he have a strategy too?
His strategy is better than mine?
It feels unlikely... The best "Don't Starve" dungeon guides available on the market are around 30% complete.
The content of the guide mainly focuses on how to survive for a month, and also includes some prop production processes and acquisition methods.
There are also some monster attributes.
Of course, the players who wrote the guide also marked it next to it.
[ Note: The monster attributes are just for you to see and understand. Don't fight to your death! I can't even beat them myself! The main purpose of this guide is to get by! ]
[Note: If you see a particularly huge monster! That is the seasonal boss! Run away! Don't look back! There is no way you can beat it! ]
The person who wrote this note is the president of a guild that has been upgraded to the third level.
If he said this, it means this copy is really difficult.
As for better strategies for Don't Starve, such as 40% or even 60% of the best strategies, they are not non-existent.
But those are the private properties of the big guilds, and the presidents will guard them strictly.
Unless someone has saved the guild's life, it is basically impossible to spread the news.
From this point of view, the probability of this kid getting a top-quality strategy like the 60% strategy is not high.
It was more like I was lucky enough to find a key piece of information on the strategy exchange section of the forum.
Well, that's probably the case.
But no matter what, the spoils all over the ground just now have nothing to do with me.
Especially since meat was so precious in the early stages, no matter how thick-skinned Mu Lin was, he was too embarrassed to ask for food...
"Oh." With a slight sigh, Mu Lin was about to leave despite his hunger.
Then she heard someone calling her from behind.
"There is leftover meat, which will go bad if left for too long." Xu Mu said calmly.
Mu Lin's sadness turned into joy in an instant. He trotted to the campfire and sat down, smiling.
"Good fight, kid! I knew you were no ordinary person!"
She reached out and took the roasted ham that Xu Mu handed over.
Tear off a small piece and put it in your mouth.
The flavor is rich and fragrant, the meat is extremely tender and filled with rich fat.
Very layered food!
I don’t know where the berries taller than the ones in my hand went!
Before the dungeon started, Mu Lin would never have dared to imagine that he would be able to eat this kind of food on the first day.
She even planned to pick wild flowers on the roadside to fill her stomach after eating all the berries.
While his mouth was drooling with the delicious taste, Mu Lin asked curiously.
"By the way, how did you do it just now? That is, how did you make them fight each other?"
Xu Mu glanced at her calmly and said nothing.
"Of course, I'm not taking it for free. I can exchange the strategy in my hand with you..." Mu Lin moved closer and whispered stealthily, "Brat, to be honest, this strategy in my hand is 30%, and I spent five million to buy it."
30% of the strategy is exchanged for one key piece of information.
It seems to be a loss, but in fact it depends on the value of the key information.
It seems that Xu Mu has a method in his hand that can make monsters fight, which is at least worth 25% of the strategy.
As for the remaining 5%, since he is handsome, my sister gave it to him for free!
Mu Lin thought that the conditions he proposed were sincere enough.
Unexpectedly, Xu Mu didn't even raise his eyelids.
"unnecessary."
He quickly finished the ham in his hand, and his hunger bar was instantly restored.
Then he stood up and glanced at Mu Lin.
"If you want to cooperate with me, you will stay and guard this territory to prevent it from being snatched away by other players. Then you will stay at home to take care of the materials I obtain and arrange them neatly so that I can see them at a glance when I need them."
"Uh..." Mu Lin suspected that she had heard it wrongly.
Judging from his tone.
What he meant was that he went out to hunt in the wild.
Guard the house by yourself?
Doing tidying up?
no.
You are a B-level jungler, and I am an A+-level defender doing odd jobs?
My health bar is at least 150, right?
However, it seemed that Xu Mu was serious and had no intention of joking with her at all.
Mu Lin could only nod helplessly, pouting like she was coaxing a child: "Okay, okay, little brother, sister will agree to everything you say, okay?"
No matter what, we can eat meat today, the first day, all thanks to him.
As for boys, if he wants to be active, then I will just be passive.
When he really encounters setbacks outside, he will come back on his own.
By then, he would probably listen to me and stay at home to do chores.
"Okay, then I'll go out." Xu Mu made a torch with branches and lit it in front of the campfire.
The reason for keeping Mulin by his side was something Xu Mu had considered when he first explored the map.
This type of survival copy is different from other copies.
A lot of materials are needed to develop it.
Even if you have a backpack with a large capacity of 40 slots, it will be filled up sooner or later over time.
Then you'll have to make some boxes to store the extra materials.
But these boxes are fixed and cannot be taken with you.
If you leave it in place, as soon as you leave, someone might come and steal everything.
If you are the type who just wants to survive for seven days, it would be easy to deal with.
Anyway, you don’t need too many survival resources to get through the early stages.
But Xu Mu’s goal is to survive through the four seasons, kill the four seasons BOSS, and get a perfect rating!
At this time, the role of Mu Lin as a tool became prominent.
She can help me guard the house, take care of materials, and make some props.
These preparations are also quite time-consuming, and with Mu Lin, you can get twice the result with half the effort.
It seems that what our ancestors said is really right.
Sometimes, a family really needs a woman.
Besides, the evaluations are calculated independently anyway, and if I don’t team up with her, she won’t share my rewards.
As for eating a few more bites of your own food and the like.
Just consider it as salary payment.
"Okay, be careful...wait, are you going out?" Mu Lin looked around at the sky that was getting darker and darker, and asked again as if to confirm: "At this time?"
The only response she got was the light from the fading torches.
The Mulin people were dumbfounded.
The first night... went out to hunt???
The most terrifying thing about the night in the "Don't Starve" copy is that it is pitch black and there is not even a moon.
It's literally pitch dark!
The brightness of torches is quite limited.
It is less than 1/3 the size of the campfire.
Sometimes, I would rush into a group of monsters and be surrounded by them, only to find that I had taken the wrong path.
But it was too late to regret now. There was no other way but to wait for death in the siege of monsters.
This is also a strict rule written in the guide [Big taboo for survival: Don't go out at night! Please stay by the campfire and wait for dawn! Otherwise, the probability of you dying in the wild is 99%! ]
"Oh, why does this guy always make me so worried?" Mu Lin was about to cry.
If she could do it over again, she would never answer the call from her best friend.
“Now we can only pray that this guy can come back alive…” Mu Lin retreated back to the campfire and strictly followed the instructions in the guide.
No one can let me go out at night!
…
“Snap!”
One foot stepped on the soft soil.
Xu Mu moved forward quickly with a torch, while thinking about the plan in his mind.
There is a lot of big meat and monster meat in my backpack, so I am not short of food for the time being.
He was about to start preparing to hunt down the autumn boss, the Angry Dragonfly.
Yes, that's right.
The first day of survival, when everyone was still worried about food.
Xu Mu has already set his sights on the dragon fly.
The benefits of defeating the dragonfly are huge.
In addition to being able to drop a lot of big meat and miscellaneous materials.
You can also obtain a unique key material - Fire Scale.
Scales are only dropped by dragonflies.
Can be used to craft Dragon Scale Armor, Dragon Scale Chests and Dragon Scale Heaters.
Especially the dragon scale heater, which can keep you warm when winter comes.
Many things in "Don't Starve" are interconnected. If you miss the BOSS in autumn, you will suffer a lot when winter comes.
Must prepare in advance.
"Before that, I need to prepare a pan flute, combat armor, a ham stick, some stones, and a fire extinguisher."
The material reserves required for these things are quite large.
This is also the reason why Xu Mu chose to settle down in an area surrounded by monsters on all sides. The presence of many monsters means that the surrounding resources are relatively abundant!
The Ham Stick is one of the top three weapons in terms of attack power in Don't Starve.
It is made of two pieces of ham, a branch, and a piece of pig skin. (To facilitate the reading experience of non-Don't Starve players, the more complicated setting of one or two scientific research machines in the dungeon has been cancelled, and it has been changed to make things as long as there are materials)
Branches can be found everywhere, but meat and pig skin are not materials that can be obtained in the early stages of survival.
Especially the pig skin, which must drop from the pig man.
And the pigmen need sophisticated weapons to kill.
Otherwise, the Pigman's high-powered attack can kill a player with 0 armor in just a few hits.
Xu Mu still remembers that when he first started playing Don't Starve, he was not very familiar with how to fight monsters and move around, and he died dozens of times at the hands of pigmen with just a small straw before he slowly mastered the trick.
But in the dungeon, the cost of trial and error for players is too high, and they cannot afford to die.
This seems to be a contradiction.
I need good weapons before I can fight the pigmen and peel their skins.
But I need pig skin first before I can make weapons.
This is a difficult problem for many players.
However, Xu Mu had already obtained both the meat and the pig skin by cleverly transferring hatred.
Click on the crafting menu of the built-in system of the copy.
Two large pieces of meat, a branch that could be found anywhere, and a piece of pig skin were submitted.
Click Create.
Soon, a prompt sound popped up.
[Congratulations on obtaining the weapon - Ham Stick! ]
The top three weapons in combat power are already in hand! Even more powerful!
Xu Mu also felt more confident.
Now, he no longer needs the tedious operation of transferring hatred. When he encounters a monster, he just kills it!
As a survival dungeon, Don't Starve tests players more on how to survive in harsh conditions rather than letting them engage in fancy battles.
Therefore, killing almost all monsters in Don't Starve does not require much skill.
It's nothing more than timing the monsters' attacks and hacking them to death one by one.
However, if the weapon damage is too low, the efficiency of killing monsters will be very slow and it will be more likely to make mistakes.
Monsters can make countless mistakes, but players cannot.
The importance of having a top-notch weapon is self-evident.
"Next, I have to deal with the pan flute." Xu Mu thought to himself.
The pan flute is an indispensable artifact prop for defeating BOSS.
It has two functions. One is to summon the seasonal BOSS.
Secondly, it can quickly hypnotize the BOSS that has entered a berserk state, thereby canceling the BOSS's berserk state.
Each BOSS will enter a berserk state every time it loses 25% of its health. Its attack, defense, and health will all double, which is quite terrifying.
When fighting a BOSS, there is a world of difference between having a pan flute and not having one.
However, the materials for making panflutes were extremely scarce in the early stages and it was almost impossible to gather them all.
According to the normal process, it will take at least a month of development time before it is ready to be made into a pan flute.
However, Xu Mu knew that there was a place where the panpipes would be refreshed regularly!
The statue of Grom deep in the Pigman Village!
On the ground of this deserted island, the pigman tribe is widely distributed and can be seen everywhere.
In the depths of some large pig villages, there is a statue that looks like a bee, which is the Grom statue.
You can basically find them by walking around the statue.
However, a large pig village is not easy to find. The area near his home can only be considered a small pig village. Xu Mu had just gone to investigate and did not find any trace of the Grom statue.
"This is a bit troublesome." Xu Mu opened the map and took a look. It was covered with fog everywhere.
If we continue exploring at this pace, it may take several days to find the location, and the time to defeat the BOSS will be postponed indefinitely.
There are only 24 days in autumn, and the BOSS will be eliminated once the chapter is turned.
Just when Xu Mu was still thinking about countermeasures.
In the built-in channel, a message flashed by.
[Help, help, help! ! Is there any big guy who can save me? I am being chased by more than a dozen pigmen! I can’t stand it anymore... I don’t want to be eliminated on the first day...]
Soon, other players responded.
[Being chased by a dozen pigmen, Guigui... have you violated the law of heaven? ]
[How dare you mess with the pigman? The blood tank will be empty after a few scratches. What a joke. ]
[Brother, go in peace. Send me your coordinates before you die so I can inherit your legacy.]
[If you have meat as a reward, I can consider it. I have enough manpower here and can help you lure the monster away. ]
[Where the hell can I get big meat...it's only the first day! Only a god can get such high-quality ingredients as big meat! ]
[That can't be helped, brother. Your rating has nothing to do with me anyway. I can only wish you good luck.]
There were some jokes and teasing in the built-in channel, but no one was really willing to lend a helping hand.
joke!
Players who have made it this far and established their own guild are all quite capable.
Before entering "Don't Starve", I will spend a little money to collect some basic information.
It goes without saying how ruthless these pigmen are. Who would dare to provoke them without decent weapons and protective gear? And there are a bunch of them...
Are you trying to kill yourself?
[Brothers please! I really don't have much meat, I just ate the last berry...but I picked this up at a statue nearby. ]
[Player 'Gugu Chicken' showed the prop - Panflute]
[I don't know what it's for, but is there anyone who wants it? Save me and I'll give it to you. My coordinates are 1045.456]
As soon as Guguji finished speaking, he was mocked even more fiercely by the built-in channel.
[Hahahaha, what is this? A toy? ]
[Besides blowing, does this thing have any other uses? ]
【Maybe it will be useful?】
[Hey, buddy in front, stop messing around. Can you just pick up useful things on the ground? Can you pick up a big piece of meat for me? ]
【Too……】
A group of players had no way to go exploring late at night, so they were bored and a poor guy happened to come out and tease them, so they were naturally happy.
Some even started to wonder if Cuckoo Chicken had become unpopular.
[That guy hasn't spoken for a long time, did he send it? ]
[Needless to say? It's a dead end. I can't even find food on the first day, let alone have the energy to make weapons. Who can beat a group of pigmen? ]
[It's hard to beat even one. ]
[If nothing unexpected happened, then there should be an accident. 】
A few minutes later.
suddenly.
Built-in channels.
【Cuckoo Chicken: Hahaha! Brothers! I'm back alive! 】
【? ? ? ?】
[What's going on? You're not dead? ? ]
[Guguji: Well, a big guy came to my aid just now! He helped me lead all the pigmen away! ]
[Gugu Chicken: Thank you for saving my life! 】
[It's funny, right? Is there really someone who dares to help? ? I'm afraid that even Cangbai will say it's awesome. ]
【Pale: Haha, it's just normal. I just lured her away, nothing to brag about, as long as you have the courage.】
[Damn! The pale boss showed up! I thought you were the one who helped that guy just now.]
【Cang Bai: I don’t have that much time. I’m grilling meat right now.】
[Fuck! ! The pale boss got a big piece of meat on the first day? ]
[Damn! The boss is the boss! We little bastards are still chewing flower petals to satisfy our hunger. ]
[Can Cangbai share his experience of getting big meat...]
[Pale: It's very simple. Find a place where hyenas are active, pull one over and beat it slowly. The health of the hyena is not high. If you have good positioning, it's still very simple. You can beat it with a branch sword.]
【Wow wow wow... Compared to the pale boss, I am just a waste. 】
[Pale: But the pigs are really hard to fight. They have thick skin and strong body, and their attacks are high. Even if I have a 60% strategy, I dare not fight them on the first day. I have to wait until tomorrow to make the armor before I will consider challenging them.]
[Big brother is too modest! He dared to fight against the pigmen on the second day of the game! I am afraid there is no one else with this strength in the whole dungeon. ]
[Pale: Haha, keep a low profile. After all, not everyone has a strategy like me. If you want to fight the pigman, you have to wait at least a week.]
Just as he finished speaking.
Several prompts continuously flashed on the built-in channel.
[Hint: Player 'A' successfully killed 10 pigmen on the first day of survival! Get extra reward: Pigskin Soft Armor! ]
[Hint: Player 'A' successfully killed 20 pigmen on the first day of survival! Get extra reward: pigskin hat! ]
[Hint: Player 'A' smashed the mysterious Grom statue! Obtained hidden rewards: Fire Extinguisher*1, Stone Fence*50! ]
[Hint: Player 'A' blew the pan flute and summoned the autumn boss 'Angry Dragonfly'! ]
The built-in copy channel, which was originally a hot topic, suddenly fell into complete silence.
After half a minute of no response, countless question marks appeared on the screen.
【? ? ?】
【? ? ? ?】
【? ? ? ? 】
We are still discussing here how to fight the Pigmen on the second day.
You summoned the autumn boss directly?
