In the grove near the entrance of the village, Ai Lan threw the toad out of the weapon card.
This guy is covered in mucus and is disgusting.
"Don't get excited, calm down first."
Ai Lan quickly stopped it from rushing towards me, and pointed to the ground, "Can you write? If you can, use your paws to scratch for me."
If this toad is really an intelligent creature, then it can definitely communicate through words.
As soon as Ai Lan reminded him, the toad immediately used its disgusting claws to claw at the ground.
"You want me to come with you?"
It did not introduce its identity or experiences, but just asked Ai Lan to follow it.
"Quack!"
The toad screamed twice and jumped deep into the forest.
"Boss, is there an ambush?" Kaka looked at the puddle of mucus on the ground and was disgusted.
"How could anyone use such a stupid method to make a trap?"
If it hadn't been for meeting Ai Lan, this toad would have been imprisoned for who knows how long.
"Let's go, let's follow and have a look."
Hope it's not too far away, he still has a lot of business to do today.
After walking in the forest for a long time, Ai Lan became impatient and wanted to stop the toad.
"Quack!"
The toad stopped in front of a seemingly ordinary tree and screamed at the top of its lungs.
"We're here." Ai Lan hugged her chest with both hands and looked at the toad from a distance, "Start your performance."
To go to such trouble to bring them here, this toad must be seeking something.
"Quack."
The toad screamed a few times, turned left and right three times around the big tree, and then jumped around under the tree a few times.
"Click."
There was a crisp sound, and a door appeared in the center of the tree trunk.
"Quack."
Toad nodded towards Ai Lan and motioned for them to follow.
"interesting."
Ai Lan looked at his small map and found that a symbol he had never seen before suddenly appeared on it.
"Witch Cottage?"
It was a special building in the wild, and his interest was suddenly aroused.
"Come on, let's go in and take a look."
The group of people followed the toad and entered the witch's hut.
As soon as you walk in, a strong herbal smell hits your nostrils.
In the hut, an old woman wearing a worn-out robe was standing in front of a large pot, cooking something.
Wisps of strange gray-green smoke floated slowly above the cauldron.
Seeing this scene, Ai Lan couldn't help but cover her nose and took a few steps back.
"Another guest is here."
At this moment, the witch raised her head and looked at them, "It turns out it's you, the troublemaker."
The toad jumped at the witch's feet and screamed at the top of his lungs, "Quack, quack, quack."
"No, your punishment time has not come yet."
"Unless you can help me find 92 pieces of sulfur."
92 pieces of sulfur? Ai Lan took a look at his storage space, and there were exactly 92 pieces of sulfur. No more, no less.
"Coincidence? Unlikely."
It must be that the witch took a fancy to the sulfur and directly issued a designated task.
The content of the mission is to use these 92 sulfurs to save this toad.
The question now is very simple, that is, what reward will Ai Lan get after saving this toad.
"What good stuff do you have? Take it out and let me see." Ai Lan took out all the sulfur and put it on the table, then pointed at the toad and asked.
"Quack, quack." The toad shouted anxiously and scraped on the floor.
"Today's young people really don't want to suffer any losses."
The witch looked at the toad with a smile and scratched the floor of her room until it was covered with mucus.
She didn't stop him, she just watched quietly.
"A skill book?"
After a while, Ai Lan finally understood what the toad wanted to express.
"make a deal!"
92 sulfurs are exchanged for a skill book, only a fool would not exchange it.
"This sulfur is yours." Ai Lan stretched out his hand and gave all the sulfur to the witch.
"Then the deal is established."
"The curse is lifted." The witch stretched out her hand and put a little bit on the toad.
"boom!"
In a burst of smoke, the toad turned into a little goblin as big as a fist.
"Ding, congratulations to the player for completing the mission: rescuing the Pixies."
"Get 3000 experience points."
"The reputation of Qianye Forest +500." The reputation of Qianye Forest: respect (4200/20000)
"The reputation of the Pixie clan is +500." The reputation of the Pixie clan: Neutral (500/1000)
"Get the campaign skill book "Defense""
Defense: You will be familiar with the use of various armors. When fighting, the troops you lead will be more difficult to defeat.
Ai Lan was shocked because it turned out to be a combat skill. He always thought it was a combat skill.
The value of battle skills is much higher than that of combat skills.
Apart from anything else, every time a campaign skill is upgraded, a branch reward will appear.
Just this one, his combat skills can't even match those of Pat Ma.
"study."
As soon as he got the skill book, Ai Lan immediately clicked on learning, fearing that the duck he got would fly away.
"Congratulations to the player for mastering the defensive skill [Elementary], please choose the skill branch route."
"Please choose 1 from the 3 options below."
a: The defense power of soldiers under your command +10%.
b: Absolute defense +1.
c: Chance to block attacks.
Absolute defense: Damage lower than the absolute defense value will be invalidated.
Block Attack: Prevent physical attacks from causing damage to yourself.
"Fuck, your defense skills are too awesome."
No matter which one of these three options has the best attributes.
Needless to say, adding defense is just 10%, which is no better than +1+2.
The second absolute defense is a magical skill. With this feature, even if you are surrounded by thousands of monsters, if you can't break the defense, there will be no damage. You are invincible!
Compared to the above two, the blocking attack is slightly worse.
But taken out on its own, this is actually an excellent feature.
"I choose absolute defense!"
This feature is really awesome. With it, it is possible for high-defense troops to defeat ten thousand enemies with one enemy.
“It’s great, I’ve made a lot of money!”
A strange thing that happened by chance turned out to be such a big reward in the end.
Compared to the mere 92 sulfurs, Absolute Defense brings a qualitative improvement to Ai Lan.
After the curse was lifted, the Pixie didn't even dare to say a word of gratitude to Ai Lan, and turned around and escaped from the witch hut. It seemed that the experience during this period had frightened it.
"Miss Witch, is there anything else you need my help with?"
The witch's cabin is obviously a special building. Since you are here to visit, how can you not say hello to the witches here?
"Young man, once you get what you want, it's time to leave." The witch waved her hand, signaling Ai Lan not to be too greedy.
"Okay, then I'll take my leave."
Ai Lan wisely did not try again, he did not want to be turned into a toad.
Not long after they left, the witch stretched out her hand and grabbed it in the air, and actually caught the fleeing Pixion back from the void.
"How should I punish you for making my floor look like this?"
The witch picked up the spoon, scooped out a little unknown liquid from the pot, and forced it into the mouth of Pickling.
"boom!"
After a burst of smoke, a frog appeared on the spot.
"I'll just punish you by being a frog for a year, giggling."
The witch's eerie laughter slowly echoed in the hut.
The poor little frog jumped on the table and cried loudly.
