Volume 1 Chapter 25: The Best Wine
After the thief incident, I was naturally not in a good mood. Although it was not difficult for me to get a piece of gold equipment, it was not easy to get a particularly suitable one. To be honest, if the thief was willing to contact me, I would rather spend money to buy back the Blue Eyed Ring and sell it after training a few levels, so that I would not lose anything.
I dug out a junky ring from the warehouse and put it on, because the Blue Eyes Ring was obtained by our team, and I was embarrassed to hide this fact. Originally, this ring should have been given to the bird when she reached level 26. Although it was a bit embarrassing, I still explained it to the profiteer, then repaired the equipment, bought enough medicines, and set off again to Luohun Ridge.
After leveling up in Luohun Ridge for a while, damn, the more I leveled up, the more depressed I became. Without Qingtong's 10% hit rate, the number of Misses increased significantly, which also slightly affected the leveling speed. I was furious!
Humph, I might as well go find the Tongbi Lingyuan to vent my anger. After all, it is the boss of the level 37 macaques. Maybe it will drop some good stuff.
Although the Tongbi Lingyuan is a monster that is one level higher than the silver wolf, it is not very difficult to fight. The problem is that this guy is too smart. As long as he finds that the opponent is too powerful and cannot beat him, he will run away. The monkey is agile. He can just find a tree and jump up. With two swings, you can only stare at it. It is still sitting on the high branches and laughing at you! I have been leveling here for two days and have encountered Lingyuan no less than 5 or 6 times. I was lucky only once. I knocked it out with a charge halfway through the fight. After that, a stab and a charge combo (here refers to the combo that is operated, such as the double fire in the legend, not a new skill) actually caused a continuous stun effect. The Lingyuan never had a chance to escape and was finally killed by me. Unfortunately, although the items that exploded that time were of high level, their attributes were average, and there was no top quality.
This time I came prepared, bringing a level 21 bow and arrow, and spent a lot of money to get several tubes of special arrows, including poison arrows, paralysis arrows with paralysis effect, and penetrating arrows with far greater lethality than ordinary arrows (these special arrows are extremely expensive, and ordinary players cannot use them to level up. Of course, wealthy archers who don't care about money can buy them to improve the efficiency of leveling. However, the number of arrows released each day is limited, and you may not be able to buy them even if you have money. The blacksmith and the pharmacist can make such arrows when they reach a certain level. I exchanged equipment with others), hehe, let's see where you can run this time!
I arrived at the place where the monkeys usually appeared. After killing several groups of monkeys, the Tonggi monkey appeared. I didn't use the bow and arrows first. Generally, the monkeys would not run away if their health was less than half. I rushed forward directly and stabbed out with the bloodthirsty demon spear, like a poisonous dragon emerging from the water. With a flash of cold light, a blood mark was drawn under the monkey's ribs. The monkey screamed in pain and stretched out its claws to fight back. The Tonggi monkey's arms were long, and the attack distance was not much shorter than my spear. It reached me with one claw!
Although I wore a helmet, it was not a knight's helmet, and there was no visor. For players, the eyes are also vulnerable, and being hit is not pleasant. I turned my head to avoid the front, and the claw scratched the side of my neck, causing a burning pain. Well, it was not bad, only more than 200 HP loss, and I stabbed back, hitting the spirit ape in the abdomen, and only one shot took away more than 1000 HP.
After a while, the monkey saw that the situation was not good and turned around to flee. Although there were not many trees on Luohun Ridge, you could see a big tree every three or five steps. The monkey took advantage of the situation and jumped onto a pine tree. After climbing more than ten meters, it probably thought it was safe? It stopped climbing higher and turned around to face down and made faces at me, as if it was saying, "What can I do to you?"
Last time I faced this situation I was really helpless, but now I am calm, I dismounted (you can't use a bow and arrow while ), took out the longbow, drew the bow and put an arrow on it, and it was really "the bow is like a full moon, and the arrow is like a shooting star". An arrow with a blue tip flashing, which was obviously poisoned, passed through the gap between the branches and leaves and nailed the ape's thigh.
The gibbon screamed and stretched out his hand to pull out the arrow, but green blood spurted out of the wound. Hey, the feeling of poisoning must be unpleasant, and you lose 50HP per second!
Seeing that I could attack from a distance, the ape started jumping around on the tree. I switched to a paralysis arrow and shot another one, but it dodged it. I shot again! Although one of the three or four arrows always missed, the paralysis arrow itself has a 10% paralysis probability. With my luck, the actual paralysis probability is about 15%. After 10 consecutive arrows, it finally took effect. The ape froze up, unable to control its hands and feet, unable to hold on to the branches, and fell from the air to the ground. Ha, this fall was not light, and it directly deducted 800 HP. How could I miss such a good opportunity? I put away my bow and arrow and switched to the magic spear. I didn't have time to ride on the Black King - the paralysis effect only lasted for 5 seconds - I rushed forward and stabbed a few times, aiming at the paralyzed target that couldn't move, and the stabbing shots hit the target. In this round of attack, the ape's health value was reduced by at least one-fifth!
After the paralysis effect wore off, the ape turned over and got up, not daring to fight me, and fled in a panic. Sorry, I'm in a bad mood today, and I definitely didn't think of giving you a way out. I quickly changed my bow and arrow, took out the penetrating arrow, and aimed at the fleeing monkey's head and shot three times in a row. Although I haven't practiced this skill, so my attack power is low, but my own high attack and the power of penetrating arrows make up for the deficiency. Because I was blocking the tree, the ape didn't dare to climb this tree again, and turned to run to another big tree, running in a straight line. I hit it with three arrows, and each arrow deducted more than 500 blood. The ape was anxious and painful, staggering to a big tree, and I shot it with several arrows on the way. It didn't have a chance to pull out the arrows, and it climbed up the tree like a hedgehog. Well, seeing that the 30 seconds of the poison had passed, I added two more poison arrows (50% probability of poisoning), and red "-50" words floated on the monkey's head again.
Fortunately, the system stipulates that after the gibbon climbs up a tree, it cannot jump directly to another tree through this tree, otherwise it will be impossible to hit it if it is determined to escape. But now it is my living target, haha, it is the best to practice archery. Unfortunately, all the arrows I brought are special arrows. If they were ordinary feather arrows, I could also add the magic of the skill "Flame Arrow" learned by the level 25 archer to the arrows!
After I shot the ape to death, I remembered that in order to vent my anger, I had used special arrows worth no less than 50 gold coins to kill this monkey. It really hurts to calculate it. If it doesn’t drop something good, I will have suffered a great loss!
After counting the results, I found more than 20 gold coins (not as much as Silver Wolf, how could the monkey be so poor), a level 34 white equipment thorn blade (for assassins only), and two unidentified equipment. I didn't lose money, but I didn't make much profit either. Hmm? What is this? A gourd? Could it be... the legendary... monkey wine?
With trembling hands, I pulled out the stopper of the gourd, and immediately an indescribable fragrance filled my nose, like hundreds of flowers blooming, like hundreds of fruits flourishing, which immediately made me feel like I was in the clouds. I was drunk without even drinking!
In the fantasy, you can eat, drink, play, and enjoy all kinds of things. You can't imagine what you can do. In major restaurants and hotels, Moutai, Wuliangye, Remy Martin, XO, Louis XIV... all kinds of fine wines in reality are sold, and their taste, flavor, richness and fragrance are guaranteed to be no less than in reality. Drinking them makes you drunk, and you have the joy of drinking without worrying about headaches. However, there are four other peerless wines in the game that are based on legends, myths, and fantasy, namely Monkey Wine, Nectar and Jade Liquid, Elf Tears, and Devil's Temptation. They are not sold anywhere and can only be exploded from specific monsters or obtained through special tasks. These four wines are the best. It is said that the wonderful feeling of floating in the air after drinking is unmatched in the world. It is said that a famous drug addict was lucky enough to taste two of them in the internal test, and cried and lamented: "I will never drink again in this life!" Since then, he has quit drinking in reality. Although this is just a joke circulating on the official website, it also shows the charm of these four fine wines.
Although fine wine is good, the drop rate is extremely low. The most difficult to obtain nectar can only be found on the Monkey King, the super boss of the monkeys. But the Monkey King is an SS-level boss, who would dare to provoke him? However, if you succeed in challenging the Monkey King, the countless treasures in the Water Curtain Cave will definitely be enviable. As for the most easily obtained Monkey Wine, ordinary monkey bosses also drop it, but the drop rate is so low that it is far lower than that of dark gold equipment. Even I, an old beta tester, have only heard of it but never seen it. I don’t know what kind of luck it is that I can get a gourd today! It’s strange to say, I just lost the Blue Eyed Ring, and now I get Monkey Wine. One loss and one gain, it seems to be God’s will.
The four great wines are so rare that they are not just fine wines. They each have special effects. For example, after drinking Monkey Wine, you can permanently increase your HP and MP limits! Based on this, this gourd of Monkey Wine can be sold at an auction for at least 2,000 gold coins!
Looking at the gourd in my hand, should I drink it or not? This is the question. In fact, it is not necessary for warriors to increase their HP and MP. Their HP is high enough, and adding a little more is just icing on the cake. But for mages, archers and other professions with low HP, a gourd of monkey wine can reduce their danger in battle by more than half! However, even though I am not an alcoholic, the fragrant aroma of the wine has almost made me unable to control myself. Oh my God, such a good wine, I... I... Can't I just have a taste?
