For almost a month and a half since he entered the bloody battlefield in late September, Cheng Peng has been repeating the monotonous task of killing monsters and gaining reputation.
He did not go on any world adventures or participate in any activities. Apart from some gatherings among friends, he spent almost all the rest of his time in the bloody battlefield.
Walk alone on the ever-changing battlefield every day, avoiding enemies that are too strong to challenge and too weak to be valuable, looking for suitable monsters, and destroy them or be destroyed by them if you are unlucky; or meet friendly ones.
Or unfriendly players, negotiate, cooperate or fight...this is what the bloody battlefield is all about.
There are a lot of battles here, and there may be battles at any time and place. But there is no special meaning behind these battles, no plot, no connection, and no interaction. All the battles here can basically be summarized as "come to-
- See - Fight - Victory or Death or Escape", it's that simple, there is basically no follow-up, and even if there is, it is just a task that is so simple that it makes people yawn.
He lived like this for a month and a half.
In the past month and a half, he seemed to have returned to the days of the training ground. He lived a very fulfilling and boring life every day. He looked at the colorful world outside, watched the turmoil on the forum, and heard everyone mentioning from time to time during the party that he was in various worlds.
If you say you are not excited about the adventure, you would be lying.
But he endured it.
"The temporary silence is to shine in the future. Even a magical bird has to lie dormant for three years before it soars into the sky!" Whenever he saw and heard those adventure stories and his heart surged, he would use
Repeat these words to encourage yourself.
Patience is a necessary part of the road to success, even small successes are no exception.
There is never a shortage of talented people in the world, but why do most talented people only show "smart talents" throughout their lives, but cannot achieve "successful careers"? Why are so many talented people so smart in their youth?
People, however, always have to wait until they reach middle age and start a family and start a career before they can truly burst out their talents and do something truly valuable under the pressure of life?
The core of the problem lies in the word "patience".
Only by being able to endure boredom, hardship, pain, and all kinds of mental and physical discomfort can you give full play to your talents. No matter how good a knife is, it must be sharpened before it can become a sharp weapon. "Patience" is very important to people.
It is as indispensable as a whetstone for a knife.
Cheng Peng knew this truth very well.
So he can endure it.
My patience for a month and a half has finally paid off.
Facing Zhang Channian's question, Cheng Peng did not answer and swallowed the ice soul fruit with a smile.
Then, white light flashed.
Zhang Channian, who was standing opposite him, could see it very clearly: after Cheng Peng swallowed the fruit, white light first appeared all over his body, and then the white light quickly dissipated. He, who had all four limbs, suddenly turned into a one-armed man. That's when Cheng Peng swallowed the fruit.
The appearance outside the bloody battlefield; this state did not last long. After half a second at most, Cheng Peng's face suddenly turned fiery red, and even his eyes turned the color of agate. He was panting heavily, and his forehead was
Sweat beads continued to seep out, but turned into white steam the moment they fell; at the same time, a scalding hot wind broke out with the one-armed man as the center, forcing Zhang Channian to take a few steps back.
During these few steps, Cheng Peng seemed to have made up his mind. He pinched the thumb and index finger of his remaining right hand together, brought it to his mouth, whistled, and summoned his mount Yu Zhui Ma. But he did not act as usual.
He turned on his horse like that and put away the armor and clothes he was equipped with, revealing his naked upper body.
Zhang Channian was surprised to see that a red flame spurted out from where the broken arm was originally!
"When did you become a fire dragon? Is this a new variant of the male fire dragon? Should I call you 'Peng Fire Dragon'?"
Cheng Peng did not answer, but asked Yu Zhuima to lower his head and put the flames spurting from the wound on his left arm against its forehead.
Like a trickle of water seeping into the dry sand, the endless flames were quickly sucked in by Yu Zhui Ma. Then the horse raised its head and let out a long neigh.
That was not the neighing of a horse, but a sound that could only be made by certain high-level monsters with the words "dragon" or "unicorn" in their names.
Dragon roar!
Following the roar of the dragon, flames rose from the feet of Yu Zhui Ma and swept through the whole body. Like a transformation magic, wherever the flames touched, the horse's body grew larger and its color changed from snow white to fiery red.
, and many tiny scales grew out. Finally, the flames concentrated on the forehead and condensed into a short horn.
At this time, Yu Zhui Ma, who was originally just a snow-white horse, had become more than a head taller than an ordinary war horse, with a fiery red body, covered with scales in many places, sharp fangs and a stubby horn, but at the same time he also had a pair of gentle
The strange mount of the eye.
"What is this? A big transformation?" Zhang Channian asked - but he immediately discovered another strange thing:
The bare wound on Cheng Peng's left shoulder has disappeared, replaced by an extremely normal arm!
"You...what on earth did you eat just now!" He finally couldn't help shouting, "I want to buy one too!"
Cheng Peng smiled, but still did not answer. Instead, he took a deep breath and let out a deafening roar.
"Europe……"
This roar was full of indignation and joy, full of heartiness and pride, and surged among the clouds with an unparalleled confidence and determination.
His yelling lasted for almost a minute before slowly calming down, and then he explained in detail what had just happened to the curious Zhang Channian:
After swallowing the Ice Soul Fruit, Cheng Peng received a system prompt.
"You took the Ice Soul Fruit. The magical power contained in this fruit eliminated the fire poison in your body and activated the unicorn fire energy that accompanied the fire poison."
"You can use the Qilin Fire Power to shape your lost left arm, which will make it a special organ called the "Qilin Arm"; you can also use this power in other aspects to obtain various effects."
At first, Cheng Peng subconsciously planned to turn Qilin Huo Jin into Qilin Arm, but he soon realized that Qilin Arm was not suitable for him.
The Fire Qilin itself is only a six-star boss. The Qilin Arm that is born because of its power is only five stars, maybe only four stars. Although it may be a good boost for him at the moment, sooner or later it will be destroyed because of his
Strength increases and becomes dispensable.
But...it occupied the position of an arm.
Cheng Peng is not some weirdo with three heads and six arms, nor is he a hundred-armed giant or a thousand-armed Guanyin. He only has two arms in total!
What should I do when the Kirin Arm can no longer keep up with the times? Should I find an NPC doctor to cut it off for me?
The problem is... even if you cut off the unicorn arm, it will still grow back!
So he hesitated for a moment, then changed his original plan and considered how to use this Qilin Fire.
Coincidentally, there happened to be a place next to him where Qilin Fire Power could be used.
The Jade Horse that mutated due to eating a lot of Blood Bodhi and being infected by the aura left behind by the Fire Kirin will definitely be able to fully absorb and utilize the Kirin's fire power!
So he summoned the Jade Horse and gave it the Qilin Fire Power.
Sure enough, after Yu Zhuima obtained the Qilin Fire Power, he finally met all the conditions for mutation and produced a qualitative change.
"Then what is it now?" Zhang Channian asked curiously.
Cheng Peng smiled and showed him the attributes of the jade chasing horse.
"The famous horse Yuzhui mutated because he fully absorbed the power of the fire unicorn, and turned into a divine horse that surpassed ordinary horses. This horse can be called a 'unicorn horse'. It has infinite endurance, never tires, and can walk on the sea of fire as well as the flat ground."
, has already entered the category of "spiritual beast"."
"Infinite endurance...fire resistance..." Zhang Channian is also a well-informed person, but he was still shocked by the attributes of the Qilin Horse.
At the same time, he was also confused about another term.
"What does this 'magic horse' mean? Don't horses only have four levels: 'horse, good horse, BMW, and famous horse'?"
"I just asked the help system and found out that the four levels all belong to 'Fantasy Horse'. Above 'Fall Horse' there are two levels of 'Divine Horse' and 'Tianjun'. The Qilin Horse is the 'Divine Horse'.
'A kind of." Cheng Peng replied, "In terms of its own combat power, the current Yuzhui can probably match an ordinary three-star monster - but it is a mount after all, not a battle beast, and it is good at running.
Rather than fighting, it is understandable that the combat effectiveness is not high."
Zhang Channian nodded repeatedly: "Yes, the horse's job is to carry people, there is no need to be so good at fighting - by the way, why did your arms grow?"
"I ate the Ice Soul Fruit to resolve the Kirin Fire Poison, and then the system master kindly helped me grow my arm directly, saving me a death." Cheng Peng moved his reborn left arm a few times and smiled.
Said, "It's exactly the same as before, no problems at all."
"That's good... Now that you've taken care of the Qilin Fire Poison, doesn't that mean you can leave here and go out on adventures?"
Cheng Peng nodded.
"So... I'll call Lao Long, and you can find someone who can increase health. How about we form a team to deal with the Fire Dragon? The world of "Monster Hunter" has not yet had a second four-star player, and there are no suitable teammates to fight with.
But that guy, I was so bored during this period that I almost fell asleep!"
"Okay, but I don't know any powerful professional healers myself, so I have to ask someone for help." Cheng Peng said, opening the friend channel and finding Shen Qi, a professional information dealer.
"Good evening - it's nighttime over there, right? I'm looking for a more powerful professional healer, can you help introduce me to him?"
"Good evening, this is the Alris Information Exchange Center - oh, it's Pengzai! Didn't you gain reputation in the bloody battlefield and exchange it for the thing that can detoxify the Kirin Fire Poison? You're done?"
"Yeah, so I plan to go to the world of "Monster Hunter" with my friends to form a team to kill the Fire Dragon."
"Wait a moment... I have a good job here. It's more exciting than killing a fire dragon and has great rewards. Are you interested?"
"...But I have already promised my friend..."
"It doesn't matter. This job requires a lot of people to work together. I believe your friend will also like it." Shen Qi said mysteriously, "Although the specific content cannot be disclosed, I can guarantee that as long as the mission is successful, everyone who participated will
