Is this NPC even playable if it's not nerfed?

Chapter 147 The Final Clue, Super Weapon Version Launched

"I brought a lot of medicine, but what about food? Did anyone bring any food?"

"I brought some, but not many."

"It's okay, it's okay. My older sister, my second older sister, and I all brought a lot. Our backpacks are full of food, enough for the twelve of us to eat for several days."

"Okay, everyone, distribute the supplies. Be careful when we go inside."

The leader handed the medicine from his backpack to the players who didn't have any.

The twelve people took off their backpacks and began to distribute the supplies.

Half an hour later, the group shouldered their packs and headed into the depths of the secluded forest.

The group walked for about half an hour. As darkness fell and the miasma thickened, the group's visibility was severely obstructed.

Despite it being midday, the interior of the secluded forest was pitch black and extremely cold, with a chilling wind howling through it, causing the lightly dressed group to shiver.

He quickly mobilized his internal energy to dispel the cold and dampness.

"It's getting darker and darker inside."

"Dongdong, Yuhan, Xiaobai, summon the baby and place it on the left, right, and back respectively."

"Han Dong, Bai Zhu, Xi Xi, release your Gu worms as well, and be on guard."

"The rest of you, don't wander off, stay together and move around."

"Those on the outer ring are responsible for lighting."

The leader assigned tasks to each person.

These twelve people are classmates.

They entered the game together when it launched. Because the game uses a random spawn point system, dozens of students from their class were randomly assigned to various locations in Dayong.

These twelve people all ended up in the same province.

To improve their gameplay, the twelve of them came together to form a team.

The team leader is their class monitor in the real world, and is currently the highest-ranking and strongest member of their team.

Thanks to the province's diversity.

Their systems for the twelve individuals were also different.

Three martial arts, eight unorthodox arts, and one qi arts that I don't know where it came from.

Qidao is actually a very diverse school of thought.

There are countless extraordinary skills in the world, and among the six major schools, the extraordinary path is the most difficult to classify.

The Strange Path is not a unified school of thought. Unlike other systems, the Strange Path does not have a unified concept. Each path has different levels and uses different energies.

The schools of thought in Qidao are very mixed, like a garbage can.

People all over the world consider all schools of thought that are difficult to classify as strange paths.

This also led to a very chaotic division within the Qidao (奇道).

For example, Confucianism and Taoism cultivate righteousness, Buddhism cultivates Buddhist power, and Taoism cultivates magical power.

Martial arts cultivate true qi, qi cultivation cultivates qi, but the strange path is everything.

The Gu Master lineage cultivates true qi and uses it to feed Gu worms.

The lineage of corpse drivers has a connection with the Taoist lineage. Thousands of years ago, the lineage of corpse drivers cultivated magical power, but after a great change in the world, they switched to cultivating qi.

There is also the lineage of incantations, which is also related to the Taoist lineage. Thousands of years ago, they also cultivated magic power. However, due to the great changes in the world, they switched to cultivating other energies. The difference is that there are many internal divisions within the lineage of incantations. Some switched to cultivating qi, while others switched to cultivating true qi.

Among the eight of them, the strange path.

It's quite chaotic.

Two corpse drivers, one corpse refiner, three people who play with Gu worms, and two animal tamers.

It's quite a mixed bag.

……

"Squad leader, should I send the Golden Armor Warrior ahead to scout? I recently upgraded his equipment with a full set of yellow-grade gear, so he's pretty tough."

Bai Shu is a member of the Corpse Refining Sect. Although both the Corpse Refining Sect and the Corpse Drivers deal with corpses, the Corpse Refining Sect does not pursue the original state. They are more enthusiastic about using external forces to modify the corpses and make them stronger.

More importantly, the pets from the Corpse Refining Sect are good-looking and can be customized.

His golden-armored warrior is covered in a thick layer of golden armor and is the shield-bearer of the team.

"Bai Shu, have you struck it rich lately? You even got a full set of yellow-grade equipment."

"Hehe, not bad, I recently made a windfall."

"Sold his ass?" "No, I found Old Deng's secret stash of money."

"6."

"Bai Zhu, you are so filial."

"If you don't mind, then your golden-armored warrior can go first."

The class monitor slapped Bai Shu with a grin.

With the golden-armored warriors leading the way, the team's progress increased significantly.

After all, the golden-armored warriors have stronger defenses, and the team is more daring.

"Da da da da..."

"Click."

The golden-armored warrior stepped on something, and everyone stopped.

"Give me fire."

The squad leader took a torch and quietly went forward to check on the golden-armored warrior.

Upon closer inspection, he discovered that what the golden-armored warrior was standing on was actually a skeleton.

Beside the bones lay a knife and a tattered bundle.

"Hmm, something's up."

"It's a skeleton, no danger. There's also a knife and a bundle next to it."

"This sword is a Yellow-grade weapon, it's still usable, who wants it?"

"I don't want to, I'm into guns."

"A knife? I wouldn't even give that to a dog. A sword is the coolest thing ever."

The two students in the team who practiced different martial arts styles declined.

As for the class monitor, he definitely didn't want to be one.

Because he was playing with a hammer.

"what about you?"

“Let’s sell it. We’re not part of the martial arts system, what use is this kind of weapon to us? Let’s just sell it and split the profits.”

"Ok."

"There's another package. Let me open it and take a look."

The squad leader tossed the knife to the others, carefully opened the bundle, and found only a sheepskin and a few bottles of medicine inside.

He carefully lifted the sheepskin and found words on it, which were blurry but still legible.

After reading it carefully, his expression changed drastically.

"Holy crap, we've got a huge shipment!"

……

[Ding! You've discovered a version clue: Ancient Beast]

Ancient Beasts: In the era of super martial arts thousands of years ago, spiritual energy was abundant, and many descendants of ancient mythical beasts survived. They possessed wisdom like ordinary people, magical power, and were auspicious omens to the world.

Although they are no longer divine beasts, they are still favored by the fortune of their respective regions, and they are the lifelong goal of all martial artists.

Every part of a mythical beast is a treasure; the blood of some beasts can greatly increase one's power, and the core of some beasts can grant one immortality, and so on.

Note that each beast is unique and will not respawn after it dies.

Note that mythical beasts are auspicious omens; killing them will bring divine retribution, so please be careful.

Note that the beasts are of extremely high level, exceeding the level of the previous version, making them extremely difficult to challenge.
