Chapter 193 Arriving at Hierro City (please subscribe~)
The camel showed its two front teeth and ran in the desert.
"Paibi, how do you identify the direction in this desert?" Su Ming asked curiously.
Su Ming had a systematic map, so he could move forward in the desert where the scenery was almost unchanged, but Papi was different, he had nothing.
"It depends on the shadow." Paibi explained to Su Ming: "In the early morning in Esperine, people's shadows fall to the west, at noon, the shadows fall to the north, and in the afternoon, the shadows fall to the east."
"I see." Su Ming understood.
"Why don't you ask how to tell the difference at night?" Pappy joked with a smile.
"I know about the night." Su Ming said quite proudly, "Last night, I was looking at the stars in the desert and found that there were several stars in the starry sky that formed a puppy. The puppy's head was facing the west and its tail was facing towards the west.
East."
This direction was naturally summarized by Su Ming by comparing it with the system map.
"Haha, that's not a puppy, but a 'Watching Wolf'. You are very smart. At night, we really rely on the 'Watching Wolf' to move forward." Papi said with a smile, "But these methods,
It’s all ancient wisdom. Today’s scavengers rely more on the compass when traveling outside, as it is more accurate.”
The two people were chatting and moving forward. Gradually, a long queue appeared in front of them.
At both ends of the team, there are giant beasts that cannot be named.
This giant beast looks like a rhinoceros, but without four legs. Their white bellies press against the sand, as if they are gliding on the sand.
"What kind of monster is this?" Su Ming asked.
"These are not monsters. They are called 'Indenai beasts'. You can also call them Endurance beasts. Endurance beasts are good partners of scavengers. They can help us with all our important supplies and help us avoid being possessed by monsters."
Harassment by gas-infected monsters." Paibi explained to Su Ming while kicking his feet to make the camel run faster.
When the team of scavengers saw someone approaching, they sent two people to check. When they saw it was Papi, they went back directly.
Papi returned to the team and found an old man covered in a wide white robe. He told the old man about Su Ming rescuing him from the sand bandits and asked to let Su Ming go with them.
The old man nodded, agreed that Su Ming would accompany him, and asked Paibi to find a free camel for Su Ming to ride.
As Papi returned to the team, the team's speed suddenly picked up. The huge Endurance Beast moved forward at full speed, leaving the sand behind, and the entire team seemed to be shrouded in yellow sand.
After Su Ming learned how to ride a camel from Papi, he began to wander around among the scavengers.
Su Ming read the forum and learned that some of the players who came to the Esperne area in advance had also followed the scavenger team. These players revealed that in the scavenger team, there were businessman NPCs who could occasionally exchange good items.
thing.
Su Ming quickly found the NPC with this function, the old man just now.
Select the old man and there is a store option, but it cannot be opened.
There is no specific method mentioned in the forum, but it is not difficult for Su Ming. If there is no guide, just try it yourself. Su Ming is a social expert and can strike up a conversation with anyone.
Su Ming urged the camel, followed the endurance beast, and shouted to the old man:
"Old leader, I heard that you scavengers will look for some special things to sell in the city. I wonder if I can buy them?"
The old man sitting on top of the Endurance Beast looked at Su Ming and said:
"We scavengers don't need money. We only exchange things we lack. If you have them, I will exchange them with you."
"Then what are you missing?" Su Ming asked.
"What do you have?" the old man asked.
Su Ming opened his backpack and revealed the items in the backpack that could be exchanged.
After listening to this, the old man said:
"Weapons and poison materials are what we lack."
After the old man said this, the store bar option was unlocked.
Su Ming opened the store.
In the shop column, there are only three items: "Elementary Antidote Potion", "Intermediate Slowness Ointment Formula", and "Desert Cooling Robe". They should be prescribed by the NPC. Su Ming can only exchange for these three items.
Intermediate Slowing Ointment: Apply to the weapon and last for one minute or 5 attacks. When using the weapon to cause physical damage to the enemy, the enemy's movement speed will be reduced by 20% and last for 10 seconds. The poison cannot be superimposed. Number of times it can be used: 2.
Ointments, like potions, are also made by pharmacists. Generally speaking, stalkers and hunters use them more.
As a control poison, the market of Slow Ointment is not as good as that of damage poison. However, it is still a mid-level poison. After learning it, you can reach the pharmacist level, so Su Ming replaced it.
After the slow ointment formula was changed, the primary detoxification potion Su Ming was not changed.
The remaining poisons can be made into ointments, which can be used to increase proficiency and can also be sold, which is more valuable than exchanging for primary detoxification potions.
Then there is the "Desert Cool Robe", which is a fashionable item with attributes.
Desert Cool Robe (Fashion): After wearing it, the player's name and level can be hidden, and the player will become cooler.
Many fashions have similar attributes. They do not have specific values, but they have many hidden effects. When players wear fashions to complete tasks, they can take advantage of the effects of fashions.
This type of effect cannot affect combat attributes.
The bronze scimitar exploded by the sand pirate was useless anyway, so Su Ming exchanged it for a robe and put it on.
The robe covers the outside of the equipment. Although an extra layer of cloth is added, it does become cooler. I don't know why.
After putting on the robe, the description of "thirst" under Su Ming's status bar was extended for half an hour.
Su Ming thought that Zaemon was also thirsty, so he asked:
"Old chief, do you have a robe that a wild boar can wear?"
"Wild boar?" Even though the old man was well-informed, he was a little confused when asked.
Su Ming summoned Zaemon, raised it above his head, and shouted:
"That's it, my pet!"
Zaemon: "..."
What is the master going crazy about...
The old man glanced at Zuemon and ignored Su Ming...
"It seems there is no more..." Seeing that the old man ignored him, Su Ming lifted the summons.
After changing things, Su Ming continued to run around among the scavengers, and asked for information about the "Breath of Darkness Gem".
Although no useful information was asked, it triggered several tasks to help carry things in the town.
Because scavengers are very disciplined, even if they go to the city, they cannot break away from the team and move freely, but if they want something, they will ask for help. Su Ming now has a forum, so he is not afraid of the task of finding things.
It won't take much time to ask in advance where it is sold, and search on the forum. If you have the coordinates, go for it. If you don't, just decline.
It was originally a journey of 4 or 5 days. After following the team of scavengers, Su Ming arrived at El Hierro City at noon the next day.
Outside the city of Hierro, there are many arbors set up with wooden frames. At the gate of the city is a small living market. Players who have returned from leveling in the wild will occasionally buy some fruits to quench their thirst.
The endurance beast stopped outside the city gate. This kind of giant beast is not allowed to enter the city.
Half of its body sank into the sand to rest. The scavengers also got off the camels, preparing food and feeding the endurance beasts. Only a small number of scavengers followed the old man into the city to exchange for the things they needed.
At the gate of the city, there are many giant beasts similar to endurance beasts. It seems that endurance beasts are very popular in the desert.
"Brother Spore, we leave it to you for what we want."
"Yes, please."
In the team of scavengers, those NPCs who entrusted Su Ming to bring things thanked him in advance.
"No problem, leave it to me." Su Ming left the team of scavengers, put the forum interface aside, and quickly bought all the items according to the coordinates. There were specialties from Hierro City, jewelry, and cloth.
Satin...
After spending about an hour completing the errands and brushing up the favorability of the NPCs, Su Ming formally waved goodbye to the scavengers with a smile, entered Hierro City, and began to search for the whereabouts of the "Breath of Darkness Gem".
