"So, as the leader of the 'Knights of the Round Table', I send you a letter of thanks on behalf of all the Knights of the Round Table. Thank you for giving my king advice and helping him avoid a tragic ending - but I want to emphasize that
!This definitely does not mean that I have any affection for you! This letter is just out of diplomatic courtesy and does not contain any personal elements!"
Cheng Peng closed the letter, and the antique thin paper turned into a wisp of smoke and disappeared into the air.
"Earlier, I said 'I hope I have the honor to invite you to come to give lectures', 'Welcome to you'... and so on, but in the end there was a big twist..." Wang Hu, who leaned his head over to watch the excitement, said in wonder, "
Does he welcome you to go? Or does he not welcome you? "
"God knows." Xiao Xiao, who just broke through to four stars today and was trampled to death by a passing Tyrannosaurus Rex within ten seconds of entering the bloody battlefield, commented while wiping the scimitar he had just bought recently.
Jin Yu, "There must be something wrong with that guy's head!"
"Young man! You don't have enough 'love'!" Wei Ye, who had a mustache, said with a smile, "This is the legendary tsundere!" He said, patting Cheng Peng's shoulder vigorously, "Po Jun.
, your charm has transcended gender!"
"Oh!" Several voices cheered together.
Cheng Peng pressed his forehead and felt that the veins on his forehead were beating non-stop - he now deeply doubted whether there was something wrong with his ability to make friends - Wei Ye was just a bad guy with a vicious tongue, and he could tell at a glance that he had no brains.
Forget He Ming, who is a muscle-bound guy, why are even the simple martial arts idiot Long Biao and the upright good gentleman Wang Hu laughing, raising their fists and shouting "Oh!"?
After a while, Wang Hu stopped screaming and looked at the excited crowd with a blank expression. He scratched his head in embarrassment and asked awkwardly: "By the way, what does that... mean?"
So Liu Xueji leaned close to his ear and explained in a low voice.
As she explained, Wang Hu's face first turned crimson due to being approached by a beautiful woman, then gradually turned from red to white, and finally turned into livid. Before she could finish speaking, the tiger-eared man who always boasted of being bold and bold felt as if he was being
He screamed like he had been stabbed, used his hands and feet, and quickly ran to a place at least twenty meters away from Cheng Peng as if running for his life, looking at him in horror.
This scene became the last straw that broke the camel's back. Cheng Peng felt as if something was broken inside his head. He jumped up fiercely, pulled out the ice spear, and fiercely pointed at those who were still saying "Oh!"
The bastards kept rushing over.
"You guys...die for once!"
After the farce, everyone set off to fight in various areas of the bloody battlefield.
Although they spend their free time active in the Gensokyo stronghold, in fact they each have their own goals and go their own way in the bloody battle.
Wang Hu is currently eyeing some worlds whose selling points are betrayal, coercion, cruelty, and abuse. He is moving around those worlds in bloody battles and attacking players and NPCs who come out of those worlds-those guys always have no reason.
They attack any weak target they encounter, all just to satisfy their desire for destruction and violence.
"I know this behavior is stupid and naive, and I also know that violence cannot solve the problem." When Cheng Peng advised him to give up this ineffective attack, he shook his head and said stubbornly, "But violence can solve the problem.
Problem guys, since they like destruction and violence, I will let them experience being destroyed and violent!"
Zhang Channian, on the other hand, didn't know what words he used to persuade Long Biao, and led the martial arts idiot to wander among the barren mountains and rivers, looking for all kinds of beasts and giant monsters - such as dinosaurs and so on, constantly honing his hunting skills.
Qiao Xi has no special goal. What he is doing now is to familiarize himself with the strategic model. Xiao Xiao, who has just come back from the iron plate, no longer insists on "I can do well alone" and follows Qiao Xi to familiarize himself with bloody battles.
At the end, Cheng Peng was riding a jade horse alone, walking slowly in the empty and desolate wilderness.
This kind of terrain is called "ancient battlefield". Although there are no traces of war, every time it gets dark, some monsters called "dead corpses" and "headless ghost generals" will appear.
Boss, those monsters with an average level of four stars usually come in groups of three or five. Ordinary three-star players will never be able to challenge it even if they form a team of ten or so, but they are suitable for four-star masters - especially Cheng Peng.
And compared with other four-star players, Cheng Peng has a small advantage: he has a good mount.
Yu Zhui Ma was originally an outstanding horse. He followed him in battles in the north and south, and traveled all over the world. He did not know how many battles he fought and how much experience he accumulated. Later, in the battle to aid Jinyang, he wanted to let him go.
This horse can keep running wildly, and it spares no expense to use the blood bodhi picked from Lingyun Cave as horse food. Relying on this valuable elixir to maintain the physical strength of Yu Chai Ma, it can achieve the goal of traveling thousands of miles in one day and two nights.
Amazing results.
Because he ate too much Blood Bodhi, Yu Zhui Ma was infected with the breath of the Fire Kirin and mutated. Not only did his endurance and speed greatly increase, he even possessed the "biting" skill that should have belonged to a beast.
Unfortunately, its name is still called "Yu Chai Ma", which means that its mutation has not yet been completed. At present, it is only accumulating quantitative changes and no qualitative changes have occurred.
Cheng Peng naturally hoped that Yu Zhui Ma would transform into a more advanced mount like a carp leaping over a dragon's gate. However, he asked many people about it but could not get any useful clues, so he had to ride it from time to time to places like this that are suitable for mounted combat.
Fight on the battlefield, hoping to let it complete its transformation through fighting.
Although this hope seems a little bit slim.
Compared with the hope of Yu Zhuima's transformation and upgrade, another major event is almost completed.
Cheng Peng gave a soft drink and suddenly put away the ice spear. At the same time, he jumped up from the horse and crossed the two headless ghosts who waved their swords high. A javelin appeared on each hand, and they were in the air.
Without looking back, he threw both guns backhand and penetrated the enemy's body.
When he landed on the horse again and turned the horse's head back, the two headless ghosts who had been scarred from the battle with him had turned into two puffs of black smoke that were slowly dissipating.
He turned over and dismounted, took out a turbid and dark stone, and handed it to the black smoke. Suddenly a breeze blew in the originally silent night, and the two black smoke seemed to be grasped by invisible hands, slowly flowing towards the stone, and finally being caught by the black smoke.
It sucked it all in.
"Caught two more..." Cheng Peng put away the stone and looked at the line "Help Ono Komachi capture the escaped evil spirits: 40/50" on the mission panel, showing a satisfied smile.
This mission is to work for Ono Komachi, the part-time patrolman of the ferryman in Gensokyo Underworld, to capture dangerous evil spirits in bloody battlefields. At first, Cheng Peng was trying hard to find Japanese-style evil spirits, but the number of Japanese-style evil spirits was not enough.
There were not many, so the progress of the mission had been relatively slow. Until not long ago, he found a female headless knight riding a headless war horse. He chased her for a while with great interest, but lost track of her when he reached the ancient battlefield. So he
I simply fought monsters in the ancient battlefield to gain experience and reputation, and I was surprised to find that only a four-star boss-level evil spirit could meet the mission requirements, and it did not necessarily have to be a Japanese-style evil spirit.
Originally, for Cheng Peng, the Ancient Battlefield was just a good place for leveling and gaining reputation, but because its location would move frequently, it was not worth spending time to find. But now that it was discovered that the monsters in this place could meet the mission requirements,
He began to concentrate on searching for ancient battlefields to spawn monsters.
The Headless Ghost General is a four-star necromantic boss. He is good at charging, heavy slashing, curse magic, and has a fear aura. Overall, he is a quite powerful boss.
But when they encounter Cheng Peng, who is faster than them, has strong martial arts skills, is not afraid of fear, and wears the destiny golden armor that can resist magic, they are in tragedy.
If monsters weren't spawned here only at night, and if a five-star boss named "Male Soul" and a six-star boss named "Heroic Spirit" weren't spawned here from time to time, Cheng Peng might even want to live here permanently.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the sky turned slightly white. With the crow of chickens coming from nowhere, all the ghosts that were wandering around disappeared, and the gloomy ancient battlefield returned to a peaceful and lonely appearance.
Cheng Peng put away his weapon, dismounted, and pressed the "Return to Stronghold" button on the system panel.
The green light dissipated, and he had reappeared at the teleportation point in Gensokyo.
"How's it going? How's the harvest?" Liu Xueji asked with a smile.
Cheng Peng took out the stone that had turned pure black and raised it.
"Done!"
He came to the underworld that was filled with darkness - the underworld in the stronghold was very small, it felt like a dark room - and handed the stone to the Styx ferryman who issued the mission, and then received a quite generous sum.
Reputation points reward.
Looking at his reputation, even as calm as Cheng Peng could not help but speed up his pace and hurriedly ran towards the square.
Zhang Channian, who was drinking in the square, looked at him in such a hurry and asked curiously: "What's wrong with you? Is there a Tyrannosaurus Rex chasing you behind?"
This is a little joke unique to the bloody battlefield, because the most famous boss here is the elusive giant Tyrannosaurus Rex - the ten-star boss. The usual attack method is to step down directly with the soles of his huge feet, including Cheng Peng.
, almost everyone on the bloody battlefield has been killed by this kind of boss that always pops up suddenly and steps on it without saying a word.
Cheng Peng didn't bother to answer, just smiled, and quickly ran to the self-service redemption counter, opened the redemption window, pulled it to the upper middle position, selected the Bingpo Fruit, and clicked the "Redeem" button.
[Are you sure you want to spend your reputation to exchange for the ice soul fruit? This fruit can reconcile and resolve all fire poisons. 】
【Sure!】
The green light flashed slightly, and the reputation value he had accumulated instantly bottomed out, but in the palm of his right hand, there was a strawberry-shaped fruit, which was crystal white and exuded a hint of cold air.
It is early November now, and the weather is not very cold yet, but as soon as the fruit appeared, there was a cold wind and the temperature plummeted.
When he took the fruit and came to sit next to Zhang Channian, the big man was already stunned.
"My wine..."
Cheng Peng turned around and saw that what was in his big wine glass was no longer wine, but a solid lump of ice.
"What did you exchange for?" Zhang Channian stared at the fruit that looked like a "frozen strawberry" and said in confusion and depression, "It actually made me unable to even drink..."
Cheng Peng smiled, did not answer, and put the ice soul fruit into his mouth.
