Chapter 34 A good start
Because Zhuang Yun joined this time, Lu Jiu was not able to use Yun Duo anymore, but took out the tent that he had asked the tailor shop to make before.
Single Tent (Brown Iron Level)
Defense: +70
Effect: A must-have item for home and travel, can withstand 10 attacks from ordinary monsters; 3 attacks from ordinary brown iron monsters.
This is easy to use. Just put it in place and open the airbag. There is a sleeping bag inside, and three tents form a triangle area.
That night, the three of them simply ate instant food and went to bed, having no dreams all night.
They arrived in Jinghe District around noon on the second day after their departure.
After arriving, they did not immediately look for a city-state to inquire about the news, but instead planned a route and planned not to go to the city-state for the next two days.
"Why not go to the city-state?" Lu Jiu asked his own question.
"I'm not going for now. It would be a waste of time if I went. Instead of asking others, I might as well find it myself now. I have a bicycle."
Some city-states in Jinghe District may also have cities like Phantom City. If you enter one to inquire about information, you may be discovered.
Lu Jiu probably understood what he meant and stopped talking. Zhuang Yun followed his instructions completely.
They need to avoid the city-state. They will definitely meet other people in the forest, but it is impossible for one person to know everyone in the city, so they just need to avoid them a little.
Yuanchuan Forest is the largest independent forest area in Jinghe District. It is surrounded by a river. Even non-residents can guess that this is the largest clearing area.
"Avoid this place, let's go somewhere else first, let's go here." Shen Jufeng pointed to a small area on the map with his slender fingers, where there was a small hill.
Lu Jiu looked at the sign of a bare mountain, tilted his head slightly, and said, "Pingjing Mountain, there's not even a tree sign on it. Is it a barren mountain or a mine?"
Because of the minerals in the mines, there are very few trees that can grow there. Also, the mountains are barren and have no nutrients, so only weeds can grow there.
"Let's go and take a look. Maybe it's a mine and we can find something."
After the bounty hall was opened, he bought a miner skill card at a high price, so he could also dig out ore.
Lu Jiu nodded. She knew that Shen Jufeng had acquired the Miner Skill Card from an anonymous transaction where the highest bidder won.
Even life skill cards are divided into common ones and high-quality ones. Anyway, everyone has a collector skill card.
The three of them continued on their journey and encountered two ordinary wild monsters along the way. They were in groups of three or five and could be easily dealt with by just raising their hands.
However, the closer they got to their destination, Pingjing Mountain, the quieter the surroundings became. After riding for 15 minutes, no wild monsters stopped them on the road.
The view in the distance, which was blocked by the giant trees, suddenly became clear. They seemed to have come to an open place, and not far in front of them was the Pingjing Mountain.
There was nothing on the mountain except scattered weeds, and rocks occasionally rolled down the mountain, making a sound of stones colliding.
"How strange," Lu Jiu commented after looking around.
Shen Jufeng and Zhuang Yun also felt that "it's too quiet here, there's not even the chirping of insects." A place like Shen Jufeng's doesn't mean it's safe, but rather that it's very dangerous.
There may be some powerful beast here, and this is its territory, so other creatures dare not approach.
"Everyone, be on guard." Shen Jufeng took out a dark silver giant sword from his backpack and handed it to Zhuang Yun. "Your skills are very suitable for this. As time goes by and monsters are updated, this game will gradually become less suitable for fighting with bare hands."
Zhuang Yun only bought a long sword at the forging shop. It was made of brown iron and he felt bad for several days when he bought it.
He took the giant sword without any hesitation. It was extremely heavy in his hand. Fortunately, his body was now strengthened through gamification, otherwise he really couldn't lift it. He didn't have professional sword-wielding skills, so he could only figure it out on his own during the fight.
【Silver Rainbow Greatsword】(Bronze Level)
Attack: 66-136
Defense: 89
Wear: 150
Effect: This giant sword weighs 10KG. When attacking the enemy, there is a chance of triggering paralysis, that is, the opponent's body part will be paralyzed due to the sword's attack, which lasts for 1.5 seconds.
Zhuang Yun looked at the giant sword's message and was stunned for a moment. Then a look of surprise flashed across his eyes and he said solemnly, "Thank you. I'll return it to you after I use it."
Shen Jufeng just shook his head, "No need, you can return it to me when you get one of the same level and think it's appropriate. I don't like heavy swords." He didn't like this sword, he bought it just because it was bronze level.
He himself held a thin and narrow long sword called the Moon-Breaking Blade, which was also of bronze level.
Zhuang Yun just nodded, thinking to himself that he must be able to afford a good weapon.
The three of them walked lightly in one direction, as there might be a BOSS there.
After walking a few steps, Lu Jiu raised his hand and called for a stop, "Stop, I heard some noise." The other two stopped and looked towards the barren mountain.
Zhuang Yun even held his breath and listened carefully. After a few seconds, he really heard a sound, like something stepping on stones. The sound became louder and louder, and it was obvious that it came from the other side of Pingjing Mountain.
Something is coming from over there.
A black object suddenly appeared on the top of the towering Pingjing Mountain, swaying back and forth. Thanks to the gamified body, they could see clearly that it seemed to be a barb.
Lu Jiu's pupils constricted, and she screamed in her heart: It can't be what she thinks!
The barbs were connected to a long black object, and more and more gravel rolled down from the top of the mountain. The figure of the wild monster was also seen clearly. It was a giant scorpion, pitch black all over, and its two front claws opened and closed with a clicking sound.
A scorpion that was once as long as a finger on Earth now resembles a black hill, with purple light flashing at the tip of its barb.
【Black Scorpion】（Mutated BOSS）
Qi and blood: 1500
Attack: 166-200
Defense: 119
Effect: The black scorpion's stinger is highly toxic. If it stings a target, there is a chance that it will trigger a negative poisoning state, which will reduce HP by -5 per second and last for 5 minutes.
That is to say, if you are poisoned and do not remove this state for 5 minutes, you must have at least 1500 health points to withstand it. Who can bear this!
"Don't get stabbed." Lu Jiu said this dryly. Zhuang Yun swallowed his saliva. He only had more than 800 health points now. If he was stabbed and triggered the poisoning, he would be doomed.
Moreover, this guy has such high defense, it's really hard to beat him.
"I'll charge forward. Zhuang Yun, you focus on defense. Lu Jiu, find a way to attack its soft spots. Shooting arrows at its body won't do much damage."
"good!"
"Understood."
Shen Jufeng releases the Ring of Death, which has a 1% chance of killing with one hit. Combined with his counterattack, he must rush forward in close combat.
Lu Jiu stared at the black scorpion, feeling unhappy in her heart. This black thing didn't seem to have any weaknesses at all, so she could only try her best to find its eyes.
However, the scorpion's eyes are not located as they are known. There is a pair of central eyes in the center of the back and three side eyes on each side of the front.
Don't be fooled by its eight eyes. This creature is blind and has extremely poor eyesight. After all, its eyes are so high above the head that it can't see much. It mainly relies on the hairs on its legs and claws to sense ground vibrations to find prey.
The black scorpion rushed towards the three people without any hesitation. Shen Jufeng rushed forward first, and the Broken Moon Blade collided with the scorpion's front claws, making a crisp clanging sound.
Zhuang Yun stood by to help Shen Jufeng defend himself, and then took the opportunity to strike him with a few sword strikes.
