…

Prayer, Bao Jiwan.

Looking at the raised face, Bao Jiwan's polite words in Daxinwu Village clearly emerged from Tu Shi's memory. In just a few days, Bao Jiwan became a poison ivy food, and since then, the Yin and Yang are separated...

"Huh, thank God!" The peddler climbed out of the cave along the rope, lay down to the ground exhausted, then quickly got up and bowed to Tu Shi: "Thank you - hey, hero? Have you left Daxinwu Village? Congratulations."

"Yes." Tu Shi was still immersed in sadness. After looking at Bao Jiwan for a few glances, his eyes almost popped out: "You are not dead?!"

"If it weren't for you, I would have died."

"No, no, no, don't come here first, I'll take a look." Tu Shi held the sword in his hand, looking left and right. Bao Jiwan was still a short man, with a good lower body and not turning into four insect legs.

Bao Jiwan was stunned, and then he didn't have any attack skills. The upgrade speed was much slower than others. It was better to form a short-term team with others. If you form a team for a long time, you will not go up by yourself. Haha, I hope others will be able to train! Tu Shicai didn't want to be a baby with experience, so he decided to do it alone.

After a little inquiry, you will know that players are exploring outwards with the North City as the center. Some open up roads with other cities, while others set foot in uninhabited places. This has official tasks. The former is called "Downloading the Post Road", and the latter is called "Layout Surveying and Mapping" and "Creating the Post Station". After completing the previous tasks, the two cities will be closer to each other, and the cost of carriages will be reduced accordingly. After completing the subsequent tasks, a new route can be made to make it more convenient for players to level up. Tu Shi is more willing to participate in the latter because when exploring a new area, the system will give the first explorer an experience value, which is called "regional development reward". What Tu Shi needs most at the moment is experience value.

Sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood. Tu Shi first went to the city lord's mansion to receive the task, and then went to the blacksmith shop to buy a brand new iron sword. The data is incomparable to the broken sword in his hand, which made him very satisfied.

Remembering the south gate of the north city.

Tu Shi entered the city that day, and there were countless vendors on both sides of the road, but today they did not see any of them. It is said that the ugly man killed five people in the street. The government suspected that the murderer had something to do with these migrant people. The strangest thing was that the five corpses disappeared from the morgue, and no one in the city recognized the origin of the five dead, which made the case simple and confusing. Some said it was a monster, and some said it was a disaster from heaven. There were many different opinions and no consensus.

Tu Shi specially chose a place without post roads to travel. There are many kinds of wild grass in the south, and many plants that cannot be named after Tu Shi mixed with them. Seeds were stuck on his trouser legs, which looked like the hairs of his feet poked out from the fibers of his trouser, which was a bit disgusting. He kicked and stomped, and suddenly heard someone shouting "Help", so he was careful.

The person who asked for help was in a cave in front of him, with a meter radius and an extremely smooth edge. Tu Shi stood by the entrance of the cave (almost fainted by the stench in the cave), and saw a man shouting, "That hero, I accidentally fell into the hunter's trap, please save me!" The light in the cave was dim, and I only saw the man's upper body, probably dressed in a merchant dress, his hair was scattered on his shoulders, and he was in a very embarrassing state.

When Tu Shi heard this, he looked at the cave entrance, and there was no sign of a hunter.

When the merchant saw Tu Shi hesitating, he became even more anxious: "I still have some money on me. If a hero saves me, I will give it all!"

"Okay." Tu Shi agreed immediately and said, "I didn't bring a rope."

"It doesn't matter, the hole is not deep, you can pull me up!"

Tu Shi said oh, then shouted: "Hey, I brought a rope! Wait, I'll find a tree to tie it up, so you can climb up."

Xingshang was silent for two seconds and said, "Heroic, I am not invisible. My legs and feet broke when I fell down. Do your good deeds to the end. Come down and save me!"

Before he finished speaking, Tu Shi jumped down from the entrance of the cave and laughed: "There are so many sweet words, don't you just hope I get down!" There is no hunter mark at the entrance of the cave, and the smell in the cave is so stinking. This is all suspicious.

Although he was mentally prepared, Tu Shi was still shocked when he came down. The man remained human-shaped on the upper body, but the lower body was four black beetle arthropods, bent in four directions, just pressed against the wall of the cave to maintain body balance. If the lower body was also included, the man was three meters tall. This was clearly a monster! The Toad King was a monster. According to it, if the monsters practiced more and turned into human-shaped, they could be considered monsters. Looking at the cave, there were many people and animals scattered in the cave. The stench was composed of the stinking of corpse and the stinking of monsters.

When the monster saw Tu Shi coming down, he smiled three times, folded his legs in front and stretched his legs back, and moved his center of gravity and could pounce on Tu Shi without moving. This attack method was very strange! Tu Shi flashed sideways, and the sword flew past the monster's left arm, but it cut out the sound of metal attack - not breaking the defense?! He looked closely and only cut off the layer of human skin on the monster's body. Under the human skin was a dark shell.

The evil wind swept, and Tu Shi rolled on the spot. With a bang, the dust on the cave wall fell, and a thick and large tail hit the wall, with a hook at the end, like a scorpion. The light was dim just now. I didn't expect that the monster had a high defense and had a range attack? It seemed that the tail was more flexible than the tongue of the Toad King, and could be used in such a narrow cave.

The monster's four legs were flexed and extended, and his upper body returned to its original position, in the middle of the cave so that it could put pressure on any corner at the shortest distance and as fast as possible. The monster hugged his shoulders and smiled: "Humans, they are going to die anyway, give up resisting!"

Tu Shi ignored it. When the monster spreads its arms again, it flicks behind the monster and is forced back by the long tail again. However, it also proves that the suspect in his heart: although the monster can flexibly use the joints of the four legs, the waist joint cannot be turned around, and the attack surface can only be in front; if you want to attack the rear, you either swing the four legs to change direction or use a tail to attack. Although the cave is the home court of the monster, the monster's huge lower body is still affected, and it will definitely reveal flaws when moving, so you can only attack with your tail. Um... There are no eyes on the tail, so you can only use range attacks to increase the hit rate? The system has not killed all the players, so it still has a weakness for the monster!

Tu Shi took a step back and began to tentatively attack. The sword edge slashed the upper body of the monster many times, stabbing the human skin and clothes. The monster was furious and simply reached out to tear off the human skin to reveal its original appearance. This was a big bug, with a human-like upper body, but covered with black carapace; the face was also covered with a mask, with four green eyes arranged in square corners on its face. When talking, the lower part of the "mask" opened left and right, revealing insect-style jaws with rows of serrated sickles. The teeth were slalomed, which made people creepy: "It's useless! You're too weak, so let's die obediently!" After saying that, two black armored claws stretched out and pressed them to Tu Shi's shoulders.

【Shrinking the ground into an inch】!

Tu Shi appeared behind the monster, with a bright green light in his eyes, and it was already activated [Cangtong]. He held the sword in both hands, infusing true energy in his arms, and chopped his sword into the gap in the shell at the connection between the monster's tail and body. He saw the tail break away from his body in slow motion, and also saw green juice bursting from the wound in slow motion. He quickly took a few steps back, supported his body with his front foot, stepped on the hole wall, and made an extremely irregular lunge, and then pressed his body weight back.

【Step】!

The monster turned its upper body in pain and looked at its wound. Then it saw Tu Shi flying past, and a sword shook out a brilliant light. The light in the cave was unprecedented! The sword fell on the face of the monster, cut across it, and pulled down the head of its upper half, which was devastating. The centipede insect died but did not stiffen. The monster's vitality was really tenacious. After losing its head, it shook left and right for half a minute before falling to the ground and died. During this process, the juice was scattered, splashing a lot of Tu Shi's body, and the durability of his clothes was sharply reduced. It seemed that the juice was corrosive.

Tu Shi shook his arms. The recoil force of the two swords just now was very strong. This thing is so difficult to kill! Only after infusing true energy can you break the defense. Not to mention newbies, it is not easy for players to deal with after a turn. Look at the system prompts, Yohe, you can kill monsters more than level 5 and have additional experience bonuses, which is quite good!

Then he began to harvest the spoils. The monster's shell was light and strong, but the iron sword was not sharp enough, so it would be difficult to remove it without using true energy. However, using true energy would damage the iron sword. Tu Shi had to give up and only took away the monster's tail hook. Hearing the Toad King said that the monster's beasts breathed day and night, even the monster could condense into inner elixirs, and this monster probably had no climate and nothing was in its abdomen. By the way, Tu Shi almost vomited it out after cutting the monster's abdomen. It was sticky-greasy, wet and slippery, which was really disgusting. And there was a worm with a short arm of the child crawling out, and Tu Shi quickly chopped it to death.

Iron nematode: Level 10. Iron nematode (worm). It mostly parasitizes in the body of the insect, and once the host encounters water, it breaks out of the body. It is good at skills and talent.

The materials obtained from the monster were only small heads, but in fact the big heads were piled up in this cave. The monsters killed many people, and all the edible parts were eaten, and the corpses and indigested relics were buried in the cave. Tu Shi picked up the two and picked up seventy or eighty copper coins and a pair of level 10 cloth shoes. He thought this time, and if he could find such a monster again, how good it would be to brush it? But the most urgent thing is to climb out first. It happened that the skeleton of the monster did not fall down after death. He fiddled with the corpse and climbed back to the ground as a ladder. He also brought a thigh bone and tied it with a rope. When he had to go down the hole, he could use the bone to fix the rope position so that he could climb up after killing the monster.

System prompt: You have discovered a new map - The Land of the Caves and gained some experience.

So, the happy monster-sweeping journey began. He saw a hole in the ground and rushed over. He confirmed that there was a monster below and hung down the rope, then went down the hole to kill monsters, packed up the spoils and came up again. After killing too much, the monster attributes were also improved, and a new page was added to the Monster Illustrations of the System.

Poison Ivy: Level 15. Poison Ivy (worm). After being out of the crowd, it will transform into a male. It will follow its instincts, find a suitable place to dig holes and live alone, and then ambush people and beasts. After eating people, it will open its spiritual intelligence, be able to wear human skin, spit out human words, and lure pedestrians into holes. It is wild and irritable, and its intelligence is not high. If it is talked for a long time, it will reveal flaws. It is difficult to hurt a carapace sword, but the place that is not protected by the carapace is very fragile. If it is parasitized by iron nematodes, its appetite will be more vigorous and it will be even more crazy. Good at skills [chitin armor], [whip], [parasitic toxin]. There is a 5% chance to trigger "repulsion" when attacking.

Level 15 is just the initial level of poison ivy. Monsters like poison ivy (elite monsters), can be continuously increased by eating people. In fact, Tu Shi encountered a level 17, with a larger size and a higher power, which is not comparable to that of level 15, and almost failed to capsize Tu Shi's gutter - the level gap of level 7 is a bit exaggerated, but jumping directly after killing is in line with the principle of "seeking wealth and honor in danger".

It feels so smooth, it feels simpler than the time of the novice village. Tu Shi thought about it and felt that because of the unique nature of poison ivy, the most dangerous thing about them is that they are all pretending to hide in the cave like humans to call for help. This is a strange trick, and they can only be unexpected. It is better not to use it if you use it too much. After all, players are different from NPC. Even if they are fooled for the first time, they will only die and will never be fooled for the second time. No wonder Poison ivy can only be a low-level monster in this life.

When he walked to the front, he saw another hole in the ground, and someone called for help. Tu Shi said lazily: "Okay." He lowered the rope, looked in, and his heart suddenly tightened because he recognized the person inside.

Prayer, Bao Jiwan.
