Chapter 384: Chapter 24: The Mad Taoist Again

The next morning, Xiao Jie, I Want to Be Immortal, Ye Luo, and Hidden Dragon Do Not Use appeared in front of the city gates of Luoyang Town.

Behind them stood over forty members of the Luoyang Branch, led by the newly appointed leader, Little White Dragon.

Little White Dragon looked at Hidden Dragon Do Not Use with reluctance, "Captain, are you really leaving just like that? Taking over as captain... I’m kinda nervous."

Hidden Dragon Do Not Use laughed, "Stop calling me captain, I’ll just be an ordinary guild member from now on. As for leading the team... if you really lack confidence, I’ll speak to the guild leader and have another captain sent over."

"No, no, no, let me do it. After all, I’ve worked hard and have plenty of experience," Little White Dragon had some ambition, he just lacked confidence. He would accept Hidden Dragon Do Not Use as captain, but an outsider? No way.

It was better to take the role himself and see if he could handle it.

Hidden Dragon Do Not Use added, "After I leave, you’ve got to lead the brothers in leveling well. The guild leader told me last time that we’re about to start slaying dragons, and we’re now gathering intelligence about dragons’ whereabouts. Once we find a suitable target, we’ll mobilize. It’s going to be an unprecedented operation; the entire guild will be called to action. Once all six towns send their troops, don’t tarnish the name of our Luoyang Branch."

"Don’t worry, I’ll do nothing but lead the brothers in leveling."

As the two bade each other a reluctant farewell, Xiao Jie was surrounded by several people.

"Brother Sui Feng, when will you be back? I was thinking of asking for your help with skill training."

Xiao Jie was puzzled, "What skill are you asking me to train?"

"The skill for the class change quest. I’m level 30 and want to switch to Sword Master, but the requirements are too high. I’ve already achieved mastery in Daoist Skills, but it requires raising my swordsmanship to Grandmaster Level... Damn it, ever since I switched to Taoist, I hardly use a sword to chop anyone. Now my swordsmanship is still at Master Level.

If I were to level with swordsmanship, I’m not too confident. I’d need a high-level player with me, and in our branch, I only trust you."

"You could chop dummies to level up, right?"

"That’s useless. After mastering swordsmanship, chopping dummies doesn’t give any Sword Skill Experience anymore."

I’m not a Swordsman, thought Xiao Jie, "This is something for the guild to handle. Assigning you a few expert bodyguards should be easy, right?"

"Sigh, you bite the hand that feeds you, take the hand that gives."

Xiao Jie was speechless, "So asking for my help doesn’t count as taking a handout?"

"It’s easier to repay a favor to you than to the guild. Owe the guild, and you pay with your life."

Xiao Jie reassured, "It’s not like that."

"Damn, if it’s not, then why haven’t you officially joined us?"

That did leave Xiao Jie at a loss for words, fearing that if the guild were in a life or death situation, a decree from the guild leader would mean everyone had to fight... Currently, he could run away, but if he were an official member, then it would mean fighting to the death.

Bai Ze’s thought process wasn’t irrational.

"Alright, when I come back, I’ll help you level up. Get a few Sword Technique Secret Books ready, and we’ll switch them out while killing monsters to level up faster."

This was a tip Xiao Jie had figured out recently, his Saber Skill had already reached Master Level by using several different Saber Skills in rotation.

Moreover, the higher the level of the Saber Skill, the more weapon experience gained while using it.

In fact, Bai Ze wasn’t the only one with this problem. Generally, players over level 20 approaching level 30 had to consider their profession at level 30.

Because most players could at most level up to just over level 30, the profession at Level 30 determined their future potential and offered the last chance for those who had wasted their earlier professions to turn things around.

If their account was a fusion of two basic professions, they might still stand a chance to combine them into a decent Dual-profession.

Several high-level members of the team nearing Level 30 were considering these issues.

Xiao Jie wasn’t in a hurry just yet.

Several new players also came over.

"Brother Feng, take care," said Dongfang Sheng. Since I Want to Be Immortal’s return, his plan to be the number one lackey had failed. Now he could only slowly integrate into the team. He was gradually fading into the crowd, feeling a bit resentful about not being included in Xiao Jie’s group’s activities.

"Brother Sui Feng, this is for you, to thank you for saving me back then."

Suddenly, a trade window popped up in front of Xiao Jie, which contained a uniquely shaped torch.

[Beast Repelling Torch (Consumable)

Use: Illuminates surroundings and drives away nearby beasts.]

Item Introduction: A torch made with a special herbal paste added to its fuel that emits a strong scent to keep beasts at bay.]

Huh, this is really nice, thought Xiao Jie, looking at it. It was given by a female player named Mu Qingliu.

It was indeed an unexpected surprise. With demons roaming all over Canglin State, this item could come in handy at a critical moment.

"Thanks."

After some farewells,

Xiao Jie said to everyone, "Alright, you all go about your business. We’ll come back once we’re done."

Having said that, the group of four dashed off towards the outside of the town.

The route to Canglin State had been planned out the day before.

There were two ways to get to Canglin State from Luoyang Town, one was to pass through Xiaofeng City to reach Wind and Rain Port by the sea, then take a boat to Dragon Stone Port in Canglin State, and then travel by land from Dragon Stone Port to the state’s capital, Jumu City.
