Immortal Dao Fruits, Cards to Help Me

Chapter 73 The book within the book

Because everyone was so familiar with the process, there wasn't much communication, and we just started moving forward!
This time, the "gatekeeper monster" is a bunch of goblins, including a level 19 bear goblin, a level 18 goblin priest, two level 16 large goblins, and thirty or forty level 10 goblin warriors.

With this setup, even a small town would be easily conquered!
That female player was quite murderous; she made the first move, targeting the goblin priest.

This thing is purely a back-row unit, knows a few disgusting spells, and what's even more disgusting is that it can strengthen goblins and also trigger bloodlust.

Normally, goblins are timid. If they kill two, the others stop in their tracks. If they kill four, the others wish they had four legs.

But once the goblin priest bestowed his blessing and aroused his bloodlust, the goblin's eyes turned bloodshot. He was not only fearless of death, but he was as crazy as a zombie!
This female player was also very experienced. She immediately threw a golden bead, which smashed through a layer of magical protection with a loud "bang," denting the goblin priest's forehead and causing him to fall to the ground and begin to convulse.

This is quite powerful, but it also seems to consume a lot of energy, so it can't be used a second time in a short period of time.

Her boyfriend also raised his hand and released a dagger, probably a flying sword or something similar. A black light followed up with a finishing blow, killing the goblin priest instantly.

The man in his thirties shouted, "Leave the goblin bear to me!" and charged forward with two short hammers in hand.

Seeing this, Chen Xiuxian summoned a minecart and rammed it into the charging goblins. Screams and screams filled the air; it was a blood-soaked alley! At least six or seven were crushed to death! The scene was extremely gruesome; they were all struggling to survive.
He casually raised his hand, and a meter-high rock spike shot out from the ground, instantly piercing several goblins!

Nagadak was stunned. This Brother Chen's earth magic was amazing!

Did they hold back last time? Or have they improved recently?
The guy who glanced at Chen Xiuxian a few more times because of the girl was a practitioner of military secrets.

As for this thing among players, well, it's a lot, but also a little. It's quite obscure and unpopular, but it's a small, close-knit group.

The benefits of military strategy are numerous, such as strong combat power, greater counterplay against players on other paths, and faster early-game development.

Its only weakness is the lack of a late-game strategy.

The strongest known military cultivators are the heads of several top military families in the Great Shun Dynasty, about three or four of whom possess the strength of the Gang Sha Realm.

But that's the end of it.

First of all, military secrets cannot increase lifespan; in fact, they can be said to consume lifespan.

Those three or four old generals and marshals at the Gangsha Realm were all in their sixties or seventies. Let alone advancing any further, their strength had already begun to decline.

Moreover, military strategists also lacked a clear path forward, making them inferior to Confucianists in this respect.

It is said that some of the great masters of Confucianism were even comparable to those at the Golden Core stage.

Players who specialize in military strategy are mostly those who play on the battlefield and are passionate about large-scale wars.

Moreover, many of them plan to use their "first life" to accumulate resources for their "second life" later.

Back to this soldier, he's pretty formidable in combat!
Wielding a sword and shield, his aura thick with blood, he charged into the goblin horde and began a slaughter.

The crimson aura grew even thicker, and the slightest touch to the goblins caused them to flee in terror, losing all will to fight.

……

The five of them pushed their way through until they reached the leech barrier, where Chen Xiuxian revealed his trump card—coarse salt!
Shenyang is located in the middle of the Liaodong Plain, about 200 li (approximately 100 kilometers) from Liaodong Bay. Salt is produced here, and in considerable quantities, so it's quite cheap.

Chen Xiuxian bought two large bags right away~
A bag of salt was tossed into the air, and Chen Xiuxian raised his sword finger, activating the [Wind-Stopping Technique (Red)]!
The fourth-tier spell is indeed powerful. Although it consumes a lot of mana, the wind force is really strong!
The two bags of salt were evenly sprinkled over an area of ​​forty to fifty meters in radius!

The leeches would scatter wildly on the ground as soon as they were touched, cooing and hiding everywhere.

Chen Xiuxian untied a gourd hanging from his waist. It was a second-tier magic item he bought at the auction house, called the Water Gourd (Green). It had no other function than to hold water, which could probably hold several dozen cubic meters.

The large salt grains were washed away by the water, turning into a pool of brine. Chen Xiuxian then used his magic power to cast [Water Control Technique (Green)].

A pool of salt water chased after the mountain leeches.

Several teammates were dumbfounded: "Dude, how much loot can you get from this dungeon? You're going all in!"

Gadak couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "Brother Chen, you're amazing."

Chen Xiuxian: I only need to make a slight move, and that's already the limit of the dungeon.
The large mass grave that followed went smoothly; the group fought well and cleared out almost all the monsters.

After searching for a long time, they finally found the satchel.

This thing is a cannibalistic saddlebag, disguised as a patch of bare rock.

It was that guy who found it. He had a gourd, but it wasn't for holding water; it was for holding wasps.

Gu insect!

【Wasp Gourd (Blue)】, a Tier 3 Gu worm container.

There must have been several hundred thumb-sized wasps flying around when they found this thing.

……

Then came the underground cave.

Chen Xiuxian sent his newly leveled-up Ma Si'er to lure the monsters. The giant ground otter was low-IQ and easy to defeat. This time, Chen Xiuxian didn't exploit any bugs; this was his last attempt. He had other things to do later, so he'd see if he could succeed.
The cave otter is incredibly tanky and extremely durable.

However, that guy's swarm of wasps was really effective, stinging the hairless parts of the giant ground otter's face.

The giant ground otter was helpless, only able to flail its arms wildly, howling as it was stung. It was completely oblivious to the attacks from others!
"Brother, this thing of yours is amazing!"

Gadak truly lived up to his reputation as Chen Xiuxian's best mouth double, speaking his mind perfectly.

The man smiled and waved his hand: "It's nothing. I have a few friends in the southwest who have joined sects there and specialize in Gu poison. They gave it to me."

"It is said that quite a few players who play with Gu worms have already created their own Gu pits. Although the level of Gu worms is still low, they can sometimes have miraculous effects."

"In another week, it should be available at the auction house."

Gadak and Chen Xiuxian nodded repeatedly: Buy it, I must buy one!
Even the giant mob leader wasn't spared; his face was stung so badly it swelled up like a steamed bun. His eyelids were also swollen, severely affecting his vision.

Just before its health points reached zero, it struggled violently, ran a few steps, and then crashed headfirst into the stone wall, which collapsed with a loud crash, revealing a hole that exuded a chilling aura.

Holy crap! They're here!
A book within a book!
Tomb of a General from the Buyeo Kingdom!

"Haha!" Chen Xiuxian laughed loudly, "We're lucky, we can run one more dungeon."

All five were very excited because this kind of thing is really rare and you don't usually come across it.

It's said that the harvest was quite substantial.

At this moment, Chen Xiuxian asked, "This is the first time I've encountered this book. Has anyone here read it before?"

Gadak quickly shook his head; he was a complete novice.

The guy and the couple shook their heads. This was indeed rare, because dungeon keys were extremely rare and almost never seen on the market. The rest depended on whether they could be triggered while farming in Savage Valley.

So surprisingly, no one had ever tried it.

Great, now we need to "pioneering"!

……

Pig-faced giant bats, level 15, flying monsters, there are many of them, each wave has twenty or thirty of them, and there are five or six waves in total.

These things are enormous; their wingspan is about the size of a small round table, and they come in large groups.

This creature has a flat, large nose like a pig's, which flips upwards. It is extremely bloodthirsty and is a rare carnivorous species among bats.

They prefer to live in underground caves in pastoral grasslands, and come out at night to prey on livestock such as cattle and sheep.

Chen Xiuxian and his companions, carrying torches or luminous pearls, entered the cool tomb passage from the cave entrance. After walking forty or fifty steps, they encountered a spacious underground cavity.

It felt like a collapsed tomb passage that had connected with a natural cave.

And this cave is home to a large number of pig-faced bats.

Gadak played a significant role here.

Chen Xiuxian used his Wind-Summoning Technique to blow away the giant bats that were swarming at him recklessly. These bats went berserk, charging at people despite the swords, spears, and clubs they were wielding.

If it weren't for Chen Xiuxian's Wind-Summoning Technique holding back the bat swarm's charge, each person would probably have five or eight bats hanging from their body!

Moreover, they can emit an invisible ultrasonic wave that causes persistent ringing in the ears.

At first, a dozen or twenty of them suddenly pounced out of the darkness, almost forcing Chen Xiuxian and his group back into the tomb passage.

Finally, taking advantage of the narrow terrain at the entrance to the tomb, they used a wind-generating technique to block the frenzied giant bats.

At this moment, Gadak's whip came in handy. Other people's weapons were not long enough, but his three or four-meter whip was as long as that of an American white plantation owner when he swung it, it was really something!
The crackling of the firecrackers was just like the popping of firecrackers during Chinese New Year.

The giant bat fell to the ground with a clatter, and was then set ablaze by the old man's breath.

This huge swarm of bats managed to trap Chen Xiuxian and his companions in the tomb passage for half an hour, nearly exhausting their magical power.

There must have been over a hundred of them.

The last thing was a giant bat that Huba had burned and gnawed on – oh, the taste!
The girl gagged several times.

Chen Xiuxian glanced at it briefly. The experience points were hard to estimate, but he had collected seven or eight cards: four green cards and one blue card.

The other four teammates also had good results.

Aside from the somewhat chaotic fight, everything else was pretty good.
If we had a flying sword, it would be much easier to fight.
