Online Game: Super Beast Tamer

Chapter 193 Arrival at Hiero City (Subscription Request~)

The camel was running in the desert with its two big front teeth showing.

"Papy, how do you find the direction in this desert?" Su Ming asked curiously.

Su Ming has a system map, so he can move forward in the desert where the scenery hardly changes, but Paibi is different, he has nothing.

"Depend on the shadow." Paibi explained to Su Ming: "In the early morning of Espine, 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 it at night?" Papy joked with a smile.

"I know about the night." Su Ming said proudly, "Last night, I was looking at the stars in the desert and found that there were several stars in the sky that formed a puppy. The puppy's head was facing west and its tail was facing east."

This direction was naturally summarized by Su Ming by comparing the system map.

"Haha, that's not a puppy, it's the 'Night Watch Wolf'. You're very smart. We did rely on the 'Night Watch Wolf' to move forward at night." Papy said with a smile, "But these methods are all ancient wisdom. Nowadays, scavengers still rely more on compasses when they go out. It is more accurate."

The two chatted as they moved forward, and gradually, a long line appeared in front of them.

At both ends of the team, there are giant beasts whose names cannot be told.

This giant beast looks like a rhinoceros, but it has no four legs. Its white belly is pressed on the sand, as if it is sliding 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 for scavengers. All our important supplies are carried by them. They can also help us avoid harassment from monsters infected by evil spirits." While explaining to Su Ming, Paibi kicked the camels to make them run faster.

When the scavengers saw someone approaching, they sent two people to check. When they saw it was Paiby, they went back directly.

Paibie returned to the team and found an old man covered in a loose white robe. He told the old man how Su Ming saved him from the sand bandits and asked to let Su Ming go with them.

The old man nodded, agreed to let Su Ming go, and asked Pai Bi to find a free camel for Su Ming to ride.

With Papy's return to the team, the team's speed suddenly increased. The huge endurance beast was moving at full speed in front, leaving the sand behind, and the whole team seemed to be shrouded in yellow sand.

After Su Ming learned how to ride a camel from Pai Bi, he began to wander around among the scavengers.

Su Ming read the forum and learned that some of the players who came to the Espine area in advance had followed the scavenger team. These players revealed that there were NPCs similar to merchants in the scavenger team, and they could occasionally exchange for good things.

Su Ming quickly found the NPC with this function, which was the old man just now.

Select the elderly, there is a store option, but it cannot be opened.

There was no specific method mentioned in the forum, but this did not pose a problem for Su Ming. If there was no guide, he could just try it himself. Su Ming was a social expert and could strike up a conversation with anyone.

Su Ming urged the camel to follow 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 some?"

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 for things we lack. If you have something, I will exchange it with you."

"Then what do you lack?" Su Ming asked.

"What do you have?" the old man asked.

Su Ming opened his backpack and told everyone what was in it that could be used for exchange.

After listening to this, the old man said:
"Weapons and poison materials are what we lack."

After the old man said this, the shop bar options were unlocked.

Su Ming opens the store.

There are only three items in the store: "Primary Detoxification Potion", "Intermediate Slowness Ointment Formula" and "Desert Cooling Robe". This should be stipulated by the NPC. Su Ming's belongings can only be exchanged for these three items.

Intermediate Slowing Ointment: Apply to a weapon for one minute, or five attacks. When dealing physical damage to an enemy with a weapon, the enemy's movement speed is reduced by 5% for 20 seconds. Poison cannot be stacked. Number of uses: 10.

Ointments, like potions, are made by pharmacists. Generally speaking, they are used more by stealth and hunters.

As a control-type poison, the market for the Slowness Ointment is not as good as the Damage-type Poisons. However, it is still an intermediate poison. Learning it can improve the pharmacist level, so Su Ming exchanged it.

After changing the formula of the slow-moving ointment, Su Ming did not change the primary detoxification potion.

The remaining poison can be made into ointment, which can not only increase proficiency, but also be sold, which is more valuable than exchanging it for primary detoxification potion.

Then there is the "Desert Cool Robe", which is a fashion item with attributes.

Desert Cool Robe (Fashion): After wearing it, the player's name and level can be hidden, and the robe will become cooler.

Many costumes have similar attributes. They do not have specific values, but they have many hidden effects. When life players wear costumes to do tasks, they can take advantage of the effects of the costumes.

This type of effect cannot affect combat attributes.

Since the bronze scimitar dropped by the sand bandit was useless anyway, Su Ming exchanged it for a robe and put it on.

The robe is covered over the equipment. Although it has an extra layer of cloth, 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 Zuoemon was also thirsty, so he asked:
"Old chief, do you have a robe for the wild boar?"

"Wild boar?" Even though the old man was knowledgeable, he was still a little confused by the question.

Su Ming summoned Saemon, raised it above his head, and shouted:

"That's it, my pet!"

Zuoemon: “…”

What is the master going crazy about...

The old man glanced at Zuoemon and ignored Su Ming...

"It seems that there is no more..." Seeing that the old man ignored him, Su Ming lifted the summons.

After exchanging the items, Su Ming continued to wander among the scavengers, and asked about the information about the "Gem of Breath of Darkness".

Although no useful information was obtained, several tasks were triggered to help bring things to the town.

Because the scavengers are very disciplined, even if they go to the city, they cannot leave the team and move freely. However, if they want something, they will ask for help. Su Ming now has a forum and is not afraid of the task of finding things.

Ask where the item is sold in advance, search on the forum, and take it if it has the coordinates. If it doesn’t, decline it. It doesn’t take much time.

The journey was supposed to take 4 or 5 days, but after following the team of scavengers, Su Ming arrived at the city of Yelo at noon the next day.

Outside the city of Yelo, there are many sheds supported by wooden frames. At the gate of the city is a small daily necessities market. Players who come back from leveling up in the wild will occasionally buy some fruits to quench their thirst.

The endurance beast stopped outside the city gate. Such a giant beast was not allowed to enter the city.

Half of its body sank into the sand to rest. The scavengers also got off their camels, prepared food, and fed the endurance beast. Only a small number of scavengers followed the old man into the city to exchange for what they needed.

At the city gate, there are also many giant beasts similar to the endurance beasts. It seems that the endurance beasts are very common in the desert.

"Brother Spore, I'm leaving the things we want in your hands."

"Yes, thank you for your help."

Among the scavengers, the NPCs who had entrusted Su Ming to carry things all thanked him in advance.

"No problem, leave it to me." Su Ming left the scavenger team, put the forum interface aside, and quickly bought all the items according to the coordinates, including snacks specialties from Yelo City, jewelry, cloth and silk...

It took about an hour to complete the errand task. After brushing up the favorability of the NPCs, Su Ming smiled and formally waved goodbye to the scavengers, entered the city of Yello, and began to look for the whereabouts of the "Gem of Breath of Darkness".
