The second volume is called "One Heart" Chapter 28 Searching
Moreover, it is not just a matter of withstanding the black bear's counterattack, but also of accurately grasping the timing of "stealing" the weapon, otherwise the skill will fail sooner or later.
Bear gall is different from wolf fangs. It is the lifeblood of black bears. There is only one in the body, and it is not easy to discard. It is relatively easy to wait for it to fall. If you want to steal it, you can only seize the moment before the black bear dies and make a timely move. Last time, I was lucky enough to steal the magic crystal core of the three-headed flame wolf from the stomach of a well-conditioned ground tiger because it did not belong to the ground tiger itself, and it had just been swallowed and had not been digested. It was equivalent to an item stored in the player's storage belt, so the chance of success was naturally greater.
According to the setting of Tianxia, the items that can be stolen by using the thief's "stealing" skill can only be stored in the storage belt. For the equipment items worn by the player, it is impossible to steal them under normal conditions. Only when the player is facing death and his spirit and body are relaxed, can he succeed. This is also because the players are generally wearing the best equipment, and the exposed top equipment will inevitably attract the covetousness of many people. Death cannot drop it, so stealing naturally becomes the best choice. In order to avoid the thieves being too rampant and fearlessly wandering in the streets to harass and affect the normal order of the game world, such a setting is added. It also applies to monsters. For some non-major organs and items attached to the body, you can use "stealing", but important items such as heart, gall, magic crystal, fur, etc. cannot be obtained under normal conditions. This is also a lesson learned from some previous games. Thieves are hard to guard against. If they do it many times, you may encounter them one time and take the top equipment off others. You can't just kill when you see a strange player approaching. However, this also directly led to the scarcity of thieves in "Tianxia". The decline of the thief profession can be seen from the deserted scene in the thieves' guild. Although high-level thieves may still be very powerful, it is too difficult to develop in the early stages. The basic skills of "stealing" are subject to many restrictions. Many players who lack confidence and perseverance have no choice but to give up.
Of course, "stealing something when the opportunity presents itself" is not entirely useless. You can increase the chances of obtaining the target object based on your subjective motivation. That is to say, if a black bear is killed and the bear skin drops, you can seize the opportunity and use "stealing something when the opportunity presents itself" to steal the bear's gall. As the saying goes, fortune and wealth are sought in danger, and this can be considered a little comfort to thieves.
The thief is just my second job, and I don't rely on it to make a living. I don't care much about its future. What I value is that I can learn a few more life-saving skills like "Knight in the Clouds". This also means that I must find a way to complete this task. After all, the opponent is just an ordinary black bear. Even if I fail once, I still have the opportunity to attack again. If I am more perverted and go to the Black Bear King or the Warcraft, it is likely that I will be killed in one blow. Going to the "Dead Soul Space" twice will definitely not be enough time.
I have been to Black Bear Ridge several times and am familiar with the road. I bypassed the activity range of ordinary black bears and came to the gathering place of adult black bears. The three bear bile indicators all depend on them.
There were still a large number of players gathering here to kill monsters and gain experience. Because the area was large enough, there were no large-scale monster snatching incidents as rumored. Along the way, most of the black bears dropped after death were bear skins, and only one or two bear galls were harvested occasionally. No wonder so many black bears were killed every day. The price of bear gall in the market was still high, and the purchase price had always been around six silver coins, so the chance of dropping was indeed a bit small.
I am not here to kill black bears, so I cannot hang out with those people. I have to go to remote places and look for lone black bears to kill, so as to avoid being harassed by other players or black bears and ruining the opportunity to kill them.
I kept climbing upwards and slowly approached the Black Bear King's sphere of influence. It wasn't that I was greedy and wanted to attack him, but I just couldn't find a suitable place. Where there are black bears, there are players. When they see me, a lone apprentice thief, they look at me with disdain or vigilance, forcing me to get away as quickly as possible. I walked for more than two hours on the huge Black Bear Ridge, but I couldn't find a piece of clean land.
Here, the number of players has obviously decreased a lot, and those who are active are all experts. The Black Bear King may rush out at any time, and there is usually a large group of them. Those who don't want to kill the bear for its bile must get away . If you are not strong enough, you can only die in vain. The little qualifications you gain are not enough to delay you in the "Resurrection Corridor".
Looking around, he still couldn't find a place to stay. He had been accustomed to facing countless monsters alone in the "Dead Space", and he could choose how to level up. Only now did he understand the hard work of human players. Not only did he have to fight monsters, but there was also competition among players. His previous idea of finding a place with only black bears and no players to complete the task was too naive.
If I had received this task earlier, it would have been great. At that time, Afeng and the others were still leveling up here. If I had mixed in with them, there would always be a black bear left for me to try my hand on, so I wouldn't have to work so hard to find it alone. The players here were at least in groups of three or five. I didn't see anyone working alone. At this stage, it was not easy for ordinary second-level professional players to fight a black bear alone, except for those top-ranked and powerful masters like Long Xing Tianxia. I didn't want to summon the undead, so I had no choice but to keep going forward. Anyway, I had tried it, and ordinary black bears couldn't match the speed of "Yiqi Juechen". If I encountered the black bear king, I could throw out a few zombies as cover in an emergency. If I couldn't beat it, I could still escape.
More than four hours have passed since I received the mission. I am becoming more and more impatient. Players are everywhere, fighting guerrilla warfare and moving on after killing the black bear. I cannot occupy a place by myself. I should have simply summoned more than a hundred zombies to surround an area and slowly train the black bear. I have worked so hard to find it and wasted several hours. One hundred thousand viewers already know my true identity, so a few more witnesses won't matter.
Action is worse than thought. Now that I have arrived here, there is no need to retreat. I will directly find a suitable place nearby to start the "enclosure movement", arrange more people to block outside to prevent other players and monsters from approaching, and I will stay inside and steal the courage with peace of mind.
A relatively large cave I found in front of me caught my interest. The entrance of the cave was flat and there was no obstruction, which made it very conspicuous. However, occasionally, a few groups of players passed by and ignored it, not stopping for long, let alone rushing in. I couldn't help but wonder, is it because there are too many black bears in it that the players dare not go in, or is it reserved by powerful players? According to the experience taught by Afeng, the caves in the game are generally treasured places for leveling up.
Could it be the Black Bear King in there? I had this thought in my mind, and the more I thought about it, the more it made sense. If the cave was the old man's home, then it was definitely not something that ordinary players would dare to mess with. However, whether it was the Black Bear King or a leveling place occupied by other players, it was none of my business. I didn't want to compete with others for territory, nor did I have the strength to hope to get the thousand-year-old bear gall that increased my stamina by 3%.
I turned around and was about to leave, but curiosity suddenly arose. Since I was already here, I might as well go to the cave entrance to take a look at what was inside and broaden my horizons. As long as I was careful, even if the black bear king and a large group of its men were in the cave, with the speed of the black bear, I should be able to escape in time and would not be in too much danger.
I turned around and looked around. There was nothing unusual. I carefully walked around the side of the cave and felt my way to the entrance along the stone wall. I held my breath and quietly stuck half of my face out to look inside. I was shocked. What? How could this be?
