Volume 4: Following the Dragon and Slaying the Dragon Chapter 47: Encounter with Players
Yuanshantou in Dongfeng Town is one of the three villages closest to the Yuanshan Mountains. Because many people go in and out of Yuanshan to make a living, the size of this village is not much different from that of a county town.
Except that the houses here are all made of wood and even the city wall outside the village is made of wood, it is no different from an ordinary small county town.
Wang Liang brought Xiao Hui to Yuanshantou. This time, Xiao Hui brought out forty-nine velociraptor soldiers, which were just enough to form seven groups of three-one-three battle formations.
Because they looked rather strange, in order not to scare others, Wang Liang arranged for them to wait in the nearby woods, and he took Xiao Hui into the village.
After walking around Yuanshantou for a while, Wang Liang found that this was a relatively open place in the entire Dongfeng Town. Humans and gods lived together here. From time to time, you could see some ghosts floating on the street, and there were some strong men with tiger heads and human bodies selling some things there.
Wang Liang brought Xiao Hui into the city and found out that he was the most inconspicuous one.
However, the atmosphere here is not as good as that in the New Dynasty, and the mutual hostility between humans and monsters is still relatively high.
From time to time, there were some young and strong men patrolling on the streets. Wang Liang noticed that they had things like gongs hanging around their waists. There was a faint blue light on them, which should be magic weapons to drive away monsters.
The monsters also understood this, and when they saw the patrol teams, they would stay away from them.
Wang Liang also found this situation somewhat interesting.
And Xiao Hui also whispered in Wang Liang's ear: "The bronze gong has the scent of incense for more than a thousand years. This village should have no land, but it is guarded by other gods."
Wang Liang understood the situation here as soon as he thought about it. He nodded, and then looked at some shops on the roadside.
Because Yuanshantou is one of the several entrances to and from the Yuanshan Mountains, most of the items sold here are Yuanshan specialties and some supplies needed when entering the mountains.
Wang Liang came here this time to kill monsters and level up in Yuanshan. He had already made plans this time. Xiao Hui and the velociraptor soldiers would lead the charge, while he would take action personally. This way, killing monsters would be safe and fast.
In order to avoid having to run around to replenish supplies from time to time, Wang Liang naturally had to consider everything carefully.
You must bring all the supplies you need to go into the mountains, the most important of which are various maps.
Yuanshan covers a very large area. Once you enter the Yuanshan Mountains, you may not be able to reach the deep mountains even if you wander around here for a whole day. Without a map, you can't even tell the directions of east, south, west and north.
Moreover, there are some powerful monsters in Yuanshan. If you accidentally walk into their territory, you may die without even knowing how.
So a map is very important for those who want to enter Yuanshan.
After asking around a few stores, Wang Liang finally decided that the store in front of him had the most detailed map.
When entering this century-old shop, Wang Liang saw a detailed sand table of the Yuanshan Mountains.
Of course, there is a large black area in the middle of the sand table. I don’t know whether they didn’t explore it or they deliberately didn’t release it.
As soon as Wang Liang entered the store, a waiter came to greet him.
"You want to go to Yuanshan, right? We have various detailed maps here. The prices are relatively cheap and the locations are quite detailed. If you buy another map, we will also give you maps of several key locations in and out of Yuanshan."
Following the waiter's introduction, Wang Liang finally understood how this store did business.
Their map is not a complete one, but divides Yuanshan into one hundred parts. Except for the three village entrances and exits of Yuanshan Mountain Range, where the map is given for free, each area has a price based on its degree of danger.
And don't bargain, because a map is actually not that expensive if you don't buy all of it.
But if you want to buy all the maps here, it will be more expensive, especially the maps near the mountains, the prices are completely different.
Most importantly, they also have a top-secret map that contains detailed information about the specialties of each place, and even identifies areas where immature herbs that are over a hundred years old exist.
These are where they really make their money.
Wang Liang didn’t want these. After he understood the information here, he said, “I want a place in Yuanshan where tigers live.”
Hearing Wang Liang's request, the waiter laughed and said, "My dear, you don't know that Yuanshan is also called Tiger Mountain. There are more than 4,000 tigers in this mountain. There are tigers in every area."
"Then I need a place where there are relatively many tigers and their strength is decent."
"I understand. You want to go into the mountains to hunt tigers, right? No problem. I have a complete set of Yuanshan Tiger Hunting Manuals here. But I have to say one more thing to you. The Yuanshan tiger is quite famous. If you are not strong enough, you can just go up and deliver food.
Moreover, there are at least 300 tiger monsters on this Yuan Mountain, some of which are quite powerful, so you should be more careful. "
As the waiter spoke, he took out a map and placed it in front of Wang Liang.
Wang Liang was about to pick up the map when someone nearby also reached out to him.
Wang Liang turned his head and found that the man should be a player. Although he was wearing clothes similar to those of the people in this game, his aura was completely wrong, and his hair was also the purple-black color unique to players.
Seeing Wang Liang looking at him, the player smiled at him.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know you wanted this too."
After he finished speaking, his teeth flashed a bright light.
When Wang Liang saw this light, he felt as if he was influenced by something. He thought that the man in front of him was very handsome and someone he could make friends with.
Fortunately, Wang Liang's ability to cultivate his mind was good. He picked up the map, threw down a gold coin, and said calmly: "There must be more than one copy of this map. The waiter is here. You can buy another one."
Wang Liang’s words stunned the player. This was something he had never encountered before.
In the past, whenever he met other players, no matter what requests he made or what conversations he had, no matter whether they were male or female players, as long as he smiled and used his charm, all the players would give in.
However, Wang Liang in front of him did not have such a reaction, which made the player quite confused.
However, Wang Liang ignored him. He took the map and left without even paying attention to the silver change the waiter was going to give him.
After Wang Liang left, the player propped up his chin and said, "No, there is something wrong with that guy, but what is the problem? Wait, I think I have seen him somewhere."
The player thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out, so he could only look through his own task records.
He never expected that this time he would go back to six years ago.
