"Gu Chen, do you plan to collect the longevity fruit yourself?"
Feiyan immediately understood what the shop owner meant, but couldn't help but frown slightly.
From a guarding standpoint, she should have advised Gu Chen not to risk his own life, but helping Gewufang break away from the clutches of the evil female business owner was also a priority issue in the female swordsman's mind, so Feiyan could not immediately
be opposed to.
Feiyan thought about it. The area where the longevity fruit can be collected is probably near the "Stone Pine Forest", about two days' journey from Liyang City. Feiyan has not heard that there are any ferocious monsters in that area, and there are no taboo "secret areas" nearby.
.Except for the inconvenience of being far away from the city, the risk is not high.
Although the danger is not high, the outer realm is full of surprises after all. Even if Feiyan is confident of breaking through the monster obstacles along the way, he cannot 100% guarantee the personal safety of his owner. The two of them were disgraced by the little grass monster last time, so they
is the best example.
"No, it's too dangerous to go to the Stone Pine Forest with just me as my escort. At least we need a 'three-person team'." The female swordsman came to the conclusion and shook her head in denial.
"Who is the three-person team?" Gu Chen was curious.
"Ah, I know this! Pioneers seem to work in groups of three. It is said that this is the best way to deal with monsters, and it is also easier to calculate clearly when dividing money." Xiao Yi answered before Feiyan.
"Yes, basically the pioneers work in teams of three." The female swordsman nodded, and briefly tutored Gu Chen on the common sense of the pioneers in conquering foreign lands——
There are ferocious and cunning monsters lurking in the outer lands, and even the most powerful pioneers will find it difficult to deal with them alone. Therefore, teaming up with companions to travel through the wilderness is a relatively safe and efficient way. The most common way to form a team is to form a vanguard and a rear guard.
A three-person team with assistants.
When encountering monsters, the forward in the three-person squad is responsible for resisting the monster's surprise attack and creating an interruption on the battlefield, while the rearguard pours firepower behind the interruption to annihilate the monster. Generally speaking, the forward focuses on defending while the rearguard focuses on attacking, but in reality there are also completely opposite situations.
Situation. Since the fighting methods of the pioneers are basically evolved from their spiritual martial characteristics, the fighting methods of different teams are also very different.
Compared with forward defenders who focus on offense and defense, the positioning of assistants is relatively flexible.
Among them are spearmen like Zazu who rely on their mobility to assist the vanguard in disrupting the enemy formation, and healers who carry many elixirs and props with them to provide support and rescue at any time. In addition, when setting foot in certain places such as poisonous dense forests and lava lakes,
When traveling to special areas, you must be accompanied by someone with corresponding skills.
However, the stone pine forest we are going to this time is not very dangerous, so assembling the basic configuration of the team is a higher priority than the requirements for pioneering strength.
"In other words, we need one person each for forward, defender and assistant, right?"
Gu Chen nodded thoughtfully. The pioneers' fighting methods reminded him of the Earth's special police. However, the pioneers equipped with spiritual weapons all possess extraordinary strength that surpasses ordinary people. Therefore, even a team of only three people is enough to perform
Far superior to the repressive power of the SWAT team.
Gu Chen sorted out Feiyan's opinions in his mind, thought for a while and then made a suggestion. "Since the strength requirements are not high this time, how about hiring two cheap guards first?"
"I'm afraid not. The pioneers will not easily team up with strangers, and it is difficult for them to accept the concept of monsters." Feiyan shook her head seriously. "Although paying hush money can make them shut up, but in that case
...Well, the 'cost' is just too high."
"This is correct."
Gu Chen was stunned for a moment, then nodded in affirmation.
Gu Chen was quite shocked when the female swordsman learned to use the word "cost", and besides being shocked, he couldn't help but feel relieved. Including the little white ape who shouted "all the money was taken away by others", if those two people weren't
If you have a heartfelt sense of belonging to Gewufang, you will definitely not worry about how to help the group make money or save money.
After confirming this, Gu Chen couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.
From traveling alone to ride the Yellow River, to renting a business house to make a living, and now, I finally have family members around me who share weal and woe. A warm aftertaste like hot tea on a winter night slowly spread in my heart, and the corner of Gu Chen's mouth raised a smile.
He couldn't help but smile, and then glanced at the female swordsman and the little white ape with gentle eyes, and said resolutely.
"In that case, let's do it ourselves!"
"Huh? Go up by yourself?" The female swordsman was stunned.
"That's right. Let's go on our own." Gu Chen nodded seriously. "First of all, Feiyan, you and Tuo Lei will be the guard, responsible for stopping and annihilating the wild monsters. I will be the auxiliary healer, carrying elixirs to help you replenish at any time.
"
"Gu Chen, you want to be a healer!?" Feiyan looked at her master in shock.
The pioneers rely on the elixir Lingwu to compete with the wild monsters. The Lingwu is the basic equipment of the pioneers, and the "healer" is a special profession that uses various elixirs to support teammates. For example, small healing water is used to treat injuries and detoxify.
The righteous water used, the cleansing water that restores physical strength, etc. The healer must understand the characteristics of each type of elixir and put it into battle according to the situation. In addition, it is also the healer's responsibility to select and purchase the elixir.
Although the replenishment force does not directly participate in the battle, it can ensure the stable output of the team and also plays an irreplaceable role in preventing accidental attrition.
"I've never heard of Master Fang being a tutor..."
An indescribable and subtle expression appeared on Feiyan's face.
Although healers are a very valuable profession, the actual number is quite rare. After all, healers who consume elixirs have the attribute of needing to burn a lot of money. Only pioneering organizations with extremely rich wallets can afford to maintain them.
Full-time supplementary, usually the pioneers are supported by defenders and other part-time workers.
In addition, it was unheard of among the pioneers for the master to personally serve as the supplementary master.
Although it is quite uncommon sense for a master who is supposed to be refining medicine at the rear to go to the front line, but when I think about it, if I have mastered the ability to collect medicine and refine medicine at any time, I don’t have to worry about running out of elixirs or think about money.
For the depleted masters, maybe "replenishing the master" is really the most suitable vocation.
Thinking of this, even Feiyan couldn't help but be speechless.
"Brother Gu Chen is the backup, and Sister Feiyan is the defender, but what about the defender?"
"As for the rearguard, I'll leave it to you." Gu Chen's eyes fell on the little white ape who asked the question, and there was a smile in his voice. "Little Yi, you will be the rearguard of the squad, responsible for fire support, and assist Feiyan to destroy the wild monster.
.”
"Destroy, destroy the monster?"
When Xiao Yi heard this, he jumped up in horror and looked at his shop owner in astonishment. Then he saw that Gu Chen didn't look like he was joking, and waved his hands repeatedly with a sad face. "No, Brother Gu Chen, our white ape tribe relies on us every time we face the monsters.
Run away to save your life! I never thought about fighting them or anything like that! No, no, no! I'm not a pioneer, I really can't!"
"Well, even Feiyan needs the help of Tuo Lei to fight against the monsters." Gu Chen patted the little white ape on the shoulder and said meaningfully. "Don't worry, I have my own way. Then you just need to
Just be responsible for escaping."
"Really?" The little white ape blinked, his face full of suspicion.
