Chapter 385: Chapter 24: The Mad Taoist Again_2

Another path was over land, following the Black Water River southward, crossing the Jiaomu Ridge, entering the territory of Canglin State, and heading south along the official road to reach Jumu City.

After much consideration, Xiao Jie decided to travel by land.

Taking the sea route by boat had a certain chance of encountering sea demon beasts, and if attacked, there was the risk of the boat sinking. In the middle of the sea with no help from heaven or earth, everything would be wasted.

Traveling by land would also encounter monsters, but after all, there was the freedom to run, which made it easier to handle.

However, before setting off, they had to pick up the newcomer.

The group moved as swiftly as the wind, and within an hour, they arrived at the entrance of a valley in the southeastern region of Fengyin State.

Hidden Dragon Do Not Use said, "This is the place, let’s go in."

As soon as they entered the valley, Xiao Jie immediately felt that it was very similar to Ginkgo Valley; it was a relatively enclosed map, and the monsters’ levels were all below 10.

Watching the wild boars, wolves, dogs, and those classic soulless zombies appear before his eyes from time to time, Xiao Jie couldn’t help but feel nostalgic.

Back when he was a newbie, facing these low-level monsters was harrowing, but now —

Wind Roll Cloud!

A secret technique strike went out, directly annihilating a group of soulless zombies and zombies.

Leaving nothing but chunks of flesh behind, the satisfaction from the impact was truly exhilarating.

It’s just a shame that it didn’t yield any Experience Points, but Big Orange did receive a good share of the experience.

Seeing this, Xiao Jie simply started training his pet.

"Big Orange, you’re up!" At Xiao Jie’s command, the four of them moved forward slowly, while Big Orange took the lead, forging the path ahead.

With a combination of pounces and bites, he fought with unrestrained enjoyment.

Although only at level 10, Big Orange’s combat power was already quite considerable. Facing high-level monsters outside, there was a slight disadvantage due to level attributes, but now against these sub-10 newbies from Newbie Village, it was an absolute one-sided slaughter.

Carelessly drawing the attention of too many monsters, seven or eight wild dogs swarmed in an attack, but Big Orange faced the danger without fear.

Roar!

Tiger Roar Soul Shattering Shout!

A collective terror caused the dogs to flee in all directions, then he immediately switched to pursuit mode, Life-stealing Pounce—Choking! Instantly taking one down.

Demon Art—Crack Stone Tiger Claw Power!

A swipe of his paw sent five blade-like bursts of energy sweeping out, slashing the wild dogs and leaving them blood-soaked.

Hey, that skill looks cool, it even has a group attack capability, worthy of a demon beast.

Watching a group of wild dogs being taken down one after another in the blink of an eye, Xiao Jie too felt quite gratified; this Demon Beast Baby was very powerful.

"Look over there, there’s an Elite Monster!" I Want to Be Immortal suddenly shouted.

Sure enough, there was a level 9 wild boar chief, charging at Big Orange with a menacing momentum.

Demon Art—Lying Tiger Stone Form!

Big Orange planted himself firmly on the ground, instantly transforming into a rock in the shape of a tiger.

With a thunderous crash! The wild boar’s fierce charge collided head-on into dizziness, falling into a stunned state.

Big Orange then immediately canceled the stone form, and a set of Beast Battle Skills flowed smoothly, pouncing and biting to subdue the beast.

It didn’t take long to conclude the battle.

A piece of thick Pig Skin Armor with a +2 Constitution green equipment dropped.

Not bad at all, Xiao Jie picked up the spoils, and casually tossed some meat to Big Orange.

When the group finally reached the vicinity of Newbie Village, from a distance, they could see several newbies ganging up on a wild dog.

Each with a wooden stick in hand, and the leader armed with a single blade and shield, clearly struggling newbies.

"Haoye Xinghe!"

"It’s me!" one of the newbies holding a stick quickly shouted.

"I’m a friend of your brother; we talked yesterday. Come over, I need to talk to you about something."

Haoye Xinghe—also known as Pingtou’s younger brother—was called to the side.

The other newbies stood by cautiously.

"Brother, can you spare some Silver?"

"Brother, can you give me some equipment?"

"Holy shit, brother, your gear is way too cool! Can I be your follower?"

Xiao Jie was speechless, this bunch...

Yet, I Want to Be Immortal seemed to take pleasure in this.

"Haha, not bad, right? Work hard, and you too can get outfitted like this."

But he was not foolish; there was no way he would give away money or equipment.

"If you want money, you can add my WeChat, and I can sell you some Gold Coins."

"Really? You can buy gold coins in this game?"

"Of course, but they’re not cheap—you know the ins and outs of this game, right?"

Some people actually added him on WeChat and started transactions with I Want to Be Immortal.

Meanwhile, Hidden Dragon Do Not Use was already trading with Haoye Xinghe.

"These are all left by your brother; this Wolf Demon Dao Bone is very important, I told you about it yesterday, it can unlock a Magic profession. These pieces of equipment were also bought with his money, and here are some Gold Coins, remaining from your brother in the guild’s storage..."

Hidden Dragon Do Not Use didn’t hold back, handing over everything to the other party in one go.

Haoye Xinghe suddenly received a pile of treasures and was stunned.

It took a while before he recovered, asking excitedly and nervously, "Can the abilities in this game really be brought into reality?"

"Of course, haven’t you learned any Skills?"

"Not yet, I don’t have the money to learn Skills yet, I’ve only learned a few Life Skills, like farming..."

"If you come with me, I will help you transition to a Magic profession at level 10. Our guild is in great need of Magic professions. If you’re willing to join our guild, you’ll receive specialized protection and training, and support with resources. We can help you choose your Profession, learn Skills, and gather Equipment. Information in this game is precious, and only large guilds can provide adequate game data; Solo Players have to figure things out on their own."
