  Chapter 1913 Sudden (ask for a subscription)

"However, from the day Guoshanfeng appeared, it seems that he has never left the hill, nor has he taken the initiative to attack passers-by at the foot of the mountain, so the third prince has never sent anyone to deal with it, because he wants to solve it. A magical beast, the price to pay is not small; I still have self-knowledge, if I have to deal with Shanfeng, then at most I can only attract its attention, because I have no flying knives at all. A way to break its defense."

Yu Lei said a little depressed: "Because my uncle is also considered to be a very talented person. If nothing happened back then, he should be the head of the Flying Knife Sect now. Of course, the premise is that the Flying Knife Sect has not been merged into the Hidden Weapon Sect." , because the reason why the hidden weapon sect can merge multiple sects is mainly because its master is so powerful, no matter what kind of hidden weapons he uses, and you don't know how many hidden weapons he has hidden! Anyway, my master gave His evaluation is that he can take down a relatively small city by himself... er, it seems a bit off topic, so let's talk back to my uncle, if he is not injured, at least he is also from the hidden weapon sect elders."

"In the end, guess what, my uncle and more than a dozen martial arts masters gathered together in Boyang City, and then decided to get rid of the mountain wind, so I made various preparations in advance, such as being able to drive away snakes, insects and rats. Ant's realgar prepared several pockets, and bought all the herbs that can cure snake venom on the market, and hired dozens of bodyguards to assist and help set various traps; After the preparations were completed, when I formally challenged the mountain wind, I found that the previous preparations were of no use at all, because when the mountain wind rushed over, those martial arts masters had no strength to fight back, and were directly knocked into the air. I went out, and my uncle managed to aim at Guo Shanfeng's eyes, but unexpectedly, the throwing knife was bounced off, you must know that the throwing knives used by my uncle at that time were all specially customized refined iron throwing knives."

Regarding what happened to Mr. Lei, Liu Xing can only say that it was expected, because the eyes of snakes, like fishes, have no eyelids, so they cannot close their eyes, and fishes live in the water all the time. , so you don’t have to worry about dry eyes, but snakes can’t do it. After all, they live on land, so even snakes distributed in tropical rain forests have to lubricate their eyes by sticking out their tongues.

Therefore, the periphery of the snake's eyes is equivalent to an extra layer of shield, but in the real world, this layer of shield is similar to paper, which can be broken with one poke; but in all kinds of fantasy literary works , basically add a "titanium alloy snake eye" buff to snake monsters to make up for the biggest disadvantage of eyes.

Unexpectedly, the Guoshanfeng in the martial arts module this time has a similar ability. It seems that ordinary hidden weapons should not be able to cause effective damage to it. Of course, ordinary bows and crossbows should have the same effect, but like the siege crossbow weapons might work.

   So do you want to deal with the mountain wind?

  Liu Xing thought about it carefully, and felt that it was better not to take the initiative to provoke the mountain wind, because the price to be paid to deal with the mountain wind was not directly proportional to the benefits.

The reason is very simple. Although this crossing mountain wind is a very powerful beast, although it cannot capture Boyang City or Yuanxi City by itself, it should be no problem to turn Heshan County into history, so it stands to reason As long as the alliance can eradicate Guoshanfeng, it should be able to obtain various rewards.

   There are also reputation and favorability.

But the problem now is that Guoshanfeng is a house snake. For decades, he has nested on his own hill thinking about the snake body, so as long as the nearby residents do not go up the mountain, they will not be attacked by Guoshanfeng. It is safe and sound, and even the villagers who lived near the mountain wind would occasionally go to the foot of the mountain to catch a few poisonous snakes that accidentally went out of bounds, because these poisonous snakes are good medicinal materials and can be sold at high prices.

And as we all know, not only humans have comfort zones, most animals will gradually relax their vigilance in the comfort zone, so those poisonous snakes living near the mountain wind are used to living a peaceful life, so catching these poisonous snakes can be said It's within reach.

So as far as the current situation is concerned, if Liu Xing leads the alliance to solve this mountain wind, at least two to three digits of players will be lost. Not to mention the need to prepare a large amount of corresponding materials to deal with various situations. For example, several kinds of antidotes must be prepared, because the venom of each poisonous snake has its own characteristics, so antidotes cannot be universal.

  So after paying such a big price, how much benefit can the alliance get? It's nothing more than Boyang City, Yuanxi City, and some rewards from Heshan County, but these rewards are nothing special, nothing more than some gold and silver treasures.

and then?

   And then it's gone.

If Liu Xing and other players can stay in this martial arts module for ten years, then the players will still have some ideas about these gold and silver treasures, but because the game time is only one year, most players have no idea about these treasures. The words "gold, silver and treasure" didn't feel right at all. Of course, if it was the kind of wealth that could rival a country, it would be a different matter.

As for the prestige rewards, Liu Xing reckons it should be more than the combined amount of Kong Huo Ya and Jiu Gorilla, and this is also the biggest benefit that can be obtained from solving Guo Shan Feng, because this will let the surrounding cities know the alliance's status. After that, the prefects or city lords of these cities may issue missions to the alliance. . . But the problem is that this benefit is still incomparable to the price that needs to be paid.

In addition, there is another very important problem, that is, the players in the alliance are not monolithic, but now you want them to risk their lives together, or sacrifice their own interests to solve the mountain wind, then It is an impossible thing, after all, no one would be stupid enough to make wedding clothes for others.

What's more, this time the module itself is the "Conscience Discovery" of the Cthulhu Running Group game hall, ready to distribute benefits, so players who participate in the module know that as long as they can survive to the finale, they can get a lot of benefits, so like this No player will take on such a task that is head-to-head with Guoshanfeng.

  So Liu Xing can be sure that if he really speaks out this proposal, he will be directly ostracized by other players within a day.

  Therefore, unless there is a very profitable task hidden behind this mountain wind, then Liu Xing does not expect other players to solve this mountain wind with him.

The wages of avarice is death.

"Liu Peng, don't think too much. Now even the third prince has not thought about solving this problem, because Director He has consulted the heads of many sects before, and they always think that they want to solve this problem. Guo Shanfeng, unless he can invite the top masters in the rivers and lakes to come to sit in the town, and the number of top masters must be at least double digits, so that he can be sure to solve Guo Shanfeng with the smallest loss; The minimum loss is also the loss of one-third of the manpower, so the third prince originally planned to set fire to the mountain, so that Guo Shanfeng could be driven away 100%, but the problem was that it might irritate Guo Shanfeng and make Guo Shanfeng The mountain wind strikes indiscriminately wherever it passes."

Yu Lei sighed, shook his head and said: "More than ten years ago, a giant white deer appeared in the north. It usually lives in a fixed area. Even if passers-by enter its territory by mistake, as long as they don't If you make some aggressive actions, it won't attract its attention, and naturally it won't make it attack; as a result, some people took a fancy to the fur and antlers of this giant deer, so they organized a group of people to attack this giant deer. Deer, and then made this giant deer angry, and finally flattened all the tribes within a hundred miles."

   "Ah, is this giant deer so powerful?" Liu Xing said in surprise.

  In Liu Xing's opinion, the giant deer that Yu Lei mentioned should be a monster based on a moose, and the moose is about the size of a pickup truck, and slightly larger than a rhinoceros.

  So this monsterized moose should have also been improved in size, so it is at least about the size of an elephant, right?

   "Let's put it this way, the exact information I got is that the size of this giant deer is about twice the size of the monster I killed that day." Yu Lei said seriously.

   Twice as big as the wine orangutan? !

   Liu Xing looked at Yu Lei in surprise. He didn't expect this giant deer to be so huge, which was simply beyond Liu Xing's imagination.

   "Warcraft of this size are no longer something ordinary people like us can deal with. Even the top martial arts masters have difficulty in inflicting damage on them, so siege equipment must be used."

Yu Lei looked out of the window and said: "If there is no accident, the third prince should send you some bed crossbows, because if you want to deal with those siege equipment, it is best to use bed crossbows to fight back. It can be done one arrow at a time, and the bed crossbow can also be used to deal with monsters, but this thing is more troublesome to transport, and it is not suitable for use in complex terrain."

   Is there such a good thing?

When Liu Xing faced Manager He, he actually wanted to ask if he could send some bed crossbows to the alliance, because the production process of bed crossbows is still very complicated, and the requirements for materials are also very high. Crossbows may explode on the spot when the first bolt is fired.

   Just when Liu Xing was about to say something, he heard a sound of horseshoes from far to near, and then a letter was thrown from the window.

  Yu Lei frowned when he opened the letter, "The new city lord of Boyang City has been elected, but his identity is a bit special, not the three candidates that have been decided before."

Um?

Liu Xing also frowned, and couldn't help but said: "Although I don't know much about the situation in Boyang City, I have also heard that the new city lord of Boyang City will only be selected from those three candidates. And if the three of them didn't choose the city lord, then it should be the city lord who became the prefect, right? Why is there a fifth person suddenly appearing now!"

"The old city lord still saved his hand at the end, knowing that the three candidates he had selected before were unfit for the task and had their own shortcomings, so he secretly cultivated the fourth candidate, but the most important thing is this candidate It was also recognized by others, and it also successfully defeated the other three opponents."

  Yu Lei handed the letter to Liu Xing, and Liu Xing quickly read it.

In this letter, it was mentioned that the fourth candidate for city lord was named Guo Er. No one noticed his presence.

As a result, early this morning, Guo Er brought a group of outer disciples from Feishimen to meet the master and elders, and then everyone went to the City Lord's Mansion together. As a result, all the guests and disciples of the City Lord's Mansion stood up to support Guo Er , forcing the other three candidates to surrender.

   In this way, Guo Er suddenly became the new city lord of Boyang City, and neither Feishimen nor the city lord's mansion had any objection to this.

what's going on?

Liu Xing can't figure out why the direction of this plot is so abrupt, it's like when the three kingdoms stand together, suddenly a son of Han Lingdi appeared out of nowhere, and then he directly climbed up and shouted In an instant, he got the response from Yun Qi from all directions, and in the end he aspired to the top of the world without a single soldier.

   "This is a bit strange. In fact, the third prince has been watching the situation in Boyang City, and I am also responsible for part of it. In the end, I didn't expect that Guo Er would suddenly appear."

Yu Lei rubbed his chin, thought for a while before continuing: "Liu Peng, after you arrive in Boyang City, you can go back to Tianshui Town by yourself. I'm going to Boyang City to find out the situation. So simple! There must be some shameful things happening!"

   And in Boyang City at this moment, Zhang Jingxu is also confused, because he also heard that Guo Er has become the new city lord of Boyang City.

   "Who is this Guo Er?"

Zhang Ran also said with a puzzled look: "Before this, I really hadn't heard of this Guo Er, but I didn't expect him to become the new city lord of Boyang City as soon as he came out, and no one else was right. It’s really unbelievable to raise an objection.”

   As soon as Zhang Ran finished speaking, Zhang Jingxu received a new task.

   "Congratulations to the player for triggering a new side mission—why him? There is no time limit and failure penalty for this mission. You just need to find out why Guo Er became the new city lord."

   "Mission Reward—A new mission."

   Everyone, keep warm, I was frozen like a dog today, because I didn’t take out the bedding or anything.

   So I'm going to buy a quilt tomorrow and take a rest.
