Chapter 17: First Hearing About the Major Alliance

Click. Jixiang stepped on a branch that fell to the ground.

"Who?" The people inside heard it very well.

I really shouldn't have come out with Ji Xiang Ruyi to spy on others. I should have asked them to wait for me over there. The other party reacted immediately after hearing the sound, and a group of spears flew over, scaring Ji Xiang Ruyi and I and quickly retreated.

With a few whizzes, all the spears fell to the ground around us, but none of them hit. Ji Xiang Ruyi made extraordinary agile movements with his chubby body, and they climbed up the big tree next to them like lightning. Seeing that this method was good, I followed suit and turned around and climbed into the tree, while the other demon pets found their own places to hide. Anyway, Amynis's invisibility has not been removed yet, so as long as she keeps a distance so that she can't be heard, there will be no problem.

Several Indians rushed over from behind the bushes, picked up the spears on the ground and looked around. After finding no clues, they returned to the camp. We simply approached the camp from the trees, it should be much safer this time. Jixiang and Ruyi arrogantly climbed along a branch and almost reached the top of each other's head. I didn't dare to shout at this place, so I could only watch them climb all the way to the other's head. Fortunately, they didn't do anything surprising once they were above the house.

I started listening to them. The Indian chief said to the five people next to him: "You are warriors sent by the big tribe. This mission must be completed. The hope of our tribe depends on you."

"Don't worry, we can definitely complete the task."

The Indian chief handed them a scroll. "This is the Book of Quests. It is a relic left by the ancestors of the clan. You must put it away. You will rely on this thing to open the door to quests."

"Don't worry, Patriarch, we are all warriors of freedom and we will definitely be able to complete the mission." One of the five people with a wolf helmet on his head took the scroll. "I, the Wolf of Bomiga, give you my word."

"May the spirits of the ancestors bless you." The clan leader said earnestly.

The five people said nothing, but turned and left the camp. It seems that those five are players, and the chief should be an NPC. They seem to have received some mission. Originally, I wanted to stay and talk to the clan leader, maybe I could get some benefits, but unexpectedly, the two mascots ran after those people, and I had to chase after them.

Just after leaving the forest, the five people suddenly stopped. The man with the wolf helmet on his head turned around and said, "Can you come down after following us for so long?"

The two mascots jumped down first before I could move. To be precise, they fell without catching themselves. The five people were all stunned. They must have thought that someone was following them, but suddenly two pandas fell down and they were all dumbfounded. The guy with the bear helmet on his head said: "Wolf, did you hear it wrong?"

Another person with a big eye symbol on his helmet also asked: "I can't see anything with my pupil technique? Did you really hear it?"

"Let Xiaoying go up and take a look?" said a guy with a faint fluorescent light all over his body.

The man next to him with an eagle helmet on his head spoke. Unexpectedly, he was a woman. "I'll go up and take a look, you guys wait for me."

"No need." It was me who shouted, and the five people looked over. "Sorry, I've been chasing the two of them." Pointing to the panda below. "I don't know why they keep following you all the way."

The guy with the wolf head said: "Animals can only follow other creatures for food. If your pet doesn't eat people, then there is something about us that attracts it."

"Food? Then you must have magic crystals with you." It must be magic crystals that Ji Xiang Ruyi can pursue like this.

When I said this, the eagle-headed woman unconsciously covered her belt, which obviously contained magic crystals.

"What kind of creature is this?" the man with the bear head asked, "it looks so cute."

"This is a panda."

"Giant panda in China?"

"Yes. It's a giant panda. But the giant panda in the game eats magic crystals and is in trouble!"

"Haha, magic crystal is not cheap. You have worked really hard." The woman with the eagle head came over and 'touched' the little guy's head. The two little guys immediately started acting coquettishly and tried to get a piece of it. The magic crystal made the woman laugh so hard. The giant panda's charm attack is really invincible!

I took the opportunity to ask, "You just seemed to have taken on a mission. Do you need help?" When they heard what I said, they immediately became vigilant. I quickly explained: "I'm here to level up, but it's not as good as doing quests to get experience points from fighting monsters. I want to team up with you to do quests. All the prizes are for you, I only want experience points. If you don't believe it, you can apply The system notarizes it. Even if I steal something, the system will force it back."

Hearing what I said, the man with the wolf head immediately said: "Actually, we are going to the city to find someone to work with to complete the task. Is this task too big? The five of us are definitely not enough. We need at least a team of 10 people. We will definitely welcome you if you join, but you alone are not enough, we need to find more talents."

"Can you tell me about the mission? Maybe it doesn't require too many people."

"The mission is actually to find the ancient ruins and get the five weapons and several treasures inside. However, this mission records that there are large synchronization mechanisms set up in some places in the ancient ruins, which require the high cooperation of 10 people to open them."

"You mean the kind of mechanism that requires how many people turn what switches at the same time?"

"Yes." The man with the wolf head said: "Although we all have our own summons, our intelligence is too low to help open the mechanism, so we need some help. This has nothing to do with strength, it just needs manpower. But these institutions have Senior monster guards, we want to find senior personnel but we are worried that it will not be enough if we don't see the agency personnel."

"If this is the case, there will be no need to find anyone. I guarantee that we can turn on all the switches at the same time."

"Do you have 10 hands?" The woman with the eagle head asked a funny question.

I snapped my fingers: "Rose Vine, show them how many hands you have."

Rose vines sprouted out of the ground, each tentacle wrapped around a branch. "How about it? Is this enough?"

"That's enough, that's enough." The man with the wolf head sighed: "I didn't expect you to have such a good magic pet. It's so powerful."

"Hey, it's just that I have more hands. Since you agree to join me, let me introduce myself first. My name is Ziri."

The man with the wolf head said: "The names we originally gave when we entered the game are invalid. After we changed our profession to Indian Freedom Fighters, the system forced us to give new names. My name is the Wolf of Bomica, you can just call me Wolf. .The big guy with the bear head is the bear of Jiami Yu, you can call him a bear. The one with the eagle head over there is my sister Serante Eagle, we all call her Xiaoying. The three of us are Specializing in transformation, you should be able to guess what he can change. The one with the big eyes on his head here is the Eye of Betama, you can call him Big Eyes. He is an archer and can also use muskets, and he is special That's right. The one shining over there is Jiyuda's spirit, just call him spirit. He is equivalent to a sacrifice, and is responsible for assisting in sex work."

"What are their names?" Xiaoying suddenly pointed at the two mascots and asked me.

"The one who is bigger and has deeper eye sockets is Jixiang, and the one next to him is Ruyi."

"Good luck, they're so cute!" Xiaoying smiled and touched their heads: "Are they boys or girls?"

"They are all males."

"No wonder he is so naughty. So cute! Like a stuffed toy."

"This is a super stuffed toy. Not only is it much more fun than stuffed toys, it is also much more expensive than stuffed toys. At least I have never seen a stuffed toy that costs tens of thousands a day."

"It's indeed a bit expensive!" Xiaoying rubbed Jixiang's little paws: "Why are you so edible? It would be better if you save more!"

I turned to the wolf and said, "Can you introduce the mission?"

"I'll do it." Ling said very politely: "If you want to participate, there is something I must explain to you first."

"whats the matter?"

"This is a rather long mission. If you just want to practice leveling temporarily, it is best not to participate, otherwise you will be cursed. And we will also be unlucky."

"Of course I know this. Any mission that requires a team of more than four people to complete is generally not too short."

"As long as you understand." The wolf handed me the scroll he just got from the chief.

Ling continued: "This is the Book of Ancestral Spirits. After we came out of the tribe, we changed jobs to become freedom fighters. When we changed jobs, we all received the same mission. If we don't complete this mission, we won't get the job transfer items."

I took the scroll and unfolded it and looked at it. Everything inside was filled with ghostly symbols, and I didn’t recognize any of them. "Aren't you together?"

Wolf said: "Except for my sister and I, who were originally together, all three of them worked alone. After receiving the mission, we learned that at least five of the nine major Indian tribes can start the mission. Ling and Xiong are one week old. We just met before, our brother and sister met Big Eye three days ago, and we just arrived last night."

"Halo, you guys have known each other for a long time before I was even here."

Lingdao: "The mission requires us to find the ancestral spirit altar, and then bring back only the moonlight grass growing on the stone door of the altar. But the mission also says that the altar contains precious weapons left by the ancestors of our various tribes. We don't have to enter the altar, but in that case You definitely don’t want good weapons. But moonlight grass grows on the stone door. Once the door is opened, the grass will be 'rubbed' by the stone door, which means that you must get the moonlight grass before entering the door."

"So what? Even if you die in the altar, can you still take the moonlight grass back with you?"

"No. The moonlight grass is a mission item. The mission says that we can find helpers, but this moongrass can only be obtained by those who have received the mission, and once the death grass disappears immediately. What's even more terrible is that the mission says that the monsters in the altar Everyone likes moonlight grass very much. Carrying this thing on your body is like a person carrying raw meat walking around a pack of hungry wolves. It is simply a sign of attracting monsters!"

"That'll be troublesome!"

Big Eyes shook his head and said: "That's why we are hesitant to get weapons. On the one hand, there are tempting reward weapons, and on the other hand, there is the threat of failure to transplant. We really don't know what to do!"

"Are you planning to get weapons?"

"You're just planning to get it before you ask for help! If you don't go in, you don't have to turn it on."

"Then let's go look for it now? Does the mission mention a general location?"

"Yes." Wolf said, "The mission target is in another mountainous area."

"Then let's go there now?"

"OK."

The wolf whistled, and a white horse ran over. Several others followed suit, each with his own horse. Wolf said quite proudly: "How is it? My horse is good, right? The advantage of choosing an Indian warrior is that your innate riding skill is increased by 3, and you can get a horse immediately after successfully changing your job. The horses captured outside are all ordinary. War horses, what we get when we change jobs are top-quality war horses, whether it is weight-bearing, endurance or speed, they are much better than ordinary horses."

The little eagle also came over on a horse. "Don't be so envious. Our horses are just bigger and more beautiful. If you don't have a mount, you can ride one with my brother. I'll take care of it."

I smiled and said, "No need." Ping stretched out his right hand and snapped his fingers. Snapped. A black spot appeared in the sky and then expanded rapidly. The black ball suddenly exploded like a crystal bubble, and the phoenix dragon appeared in the black ball. The little Fenglong immediately landed on my arm. I turned around and said, "Send everyone back and let Yeying and Xiaoxue come out."

The phoenix dragon disappeared immediately, and at the same time, the magic pets in the forest that I summoned at the beginning and dispersed for leveling disappeared collectively. A small black dot suddenly appeared on the ground next to us. The dot quickly expanded into a large black disk, and then a six-pointed star with blue light suddenly appeared inside. The disc broke off the ground and stood up, and then Yeying and Xiaoxue walked out of the black disc together.

Xiaoxue snorted as soon as she came out, and a flash of electric light flashed on her horn, making an electric shock sound. Yeying looked around and then blew out two flames from his nose, and the flames on his tail also flashed. People around were dumbfounded.

I put Ji Xiang Ruyi on Xiaoxue's back, then turned over and rode on Ye Ying's back. "Let's go?"

Only then did the wolf react: "Oh! Oh! Let's go...!"

The five war horses of the five of them were actually much taller than ordinary horses, but they still felt very thin compared with Ye Ying. The five horses that were so majestic just now were as dejected and weak as their owners. They all felt that it was a mistake to show off in front of me just now. They were simply showing off their driving skills to the champion driver.

No one said anything because they were too embarrassed along the way. Xiaoying was the first girl to calm down. In most cases, women can get more tolerance, so she was not as uncomfortable as the other three. Unable to help being curious, she leaned closer. "Ziri, these two of yours are not horses, are they?"

I pointed to Yeying's horns: "Of course it's not a horse with this kind of hair."

Once we started talking, everyone's embarrassment became much better. The bear also came over: "You look like a unicorn at first glance, but you look like a lot more to yourself, right?"

"His name is Yeying, and he is a nightmare. This is Xiaoxue, a unicorn of the Holy Light type. The level is still relatively low now, and it will grow wings after reaching level 800."

"Bravo!"

The wolf came over and looked at Yeying's legs and said: "Judging from my ability to read horses, you, this nightmare, must be very fast."

"Hehe, he doesn't have any advantages, except that he is fast."

"Then why don't you participate in Marseille?" Xiaoying's words made me confused.

"What is Marseille?"

The wolf said strangely: "You are not an American, are you?"

"how do you know?"

"How can an American not know about Marseille?"

"Then tell me what kind of game this is? Isn't it just horse racing?"

"Yes, it's horse racing." Xiaoying said excitedly: "As long as you sign up at the registration office, you can participate, and you can get a lot of bonuses if you win. Basically, people here like this. And there are many people who can gamble. Gambling. Although the attributes of various mounts are marked with approximate speeds, because the specific conversion formula is very complicated, and the speed itself is not a fixed value, the same mount can often run at different speeds. In addition, the rider’s riding skills are also key. A great horse will still come out last against a rookie rider.”

"I've heard of people playing horse racing before, but this is the first time I've heard of it. Does it look like you often go to horse racing?"

"Why are you watching horse racing? I am the rider." She patted the horse beneath her: "We have won three consecutive championships in the pure horse racing category."

"Is the competition still divided into groups?"

"Of course. Our competition is called horse racing. In fact, any creature that can run with legs can participate, and whether it is a player or the player's familiar or a demon servant, as long as it runs with legs. But due to individual differences It’s too big, basically we still have some groups. Those like us are pure horse groups, and the mounts must be horses. You can’t participate in this. There is also a light hoofed animal group, as long as it has four legs and long hooves, it can Participate, but you can only participate in light hoofed beasts. If you participate, you can participate in this group. There are also many groups corresponding to different mounts."

Wolf said: "Hey, are Ziri interested in participating? I think you can definitely play in the major leagues."

"What is the Major League? I remember that there is a Major League in American baseball?"

"It's not that big league, it's our beast-riding big league." Xiaoying seemed to be particularly interested in this aspect. "I've participated once before and it was really exciting. This is the most popular event in the entire competition. There are almost no rules restrictions on participating in the major league competition. As long as you don't use magic teleportation or wings to fly, you can run however you want. The competition does not distinguish All biological types, as long as they can walk on legs, can participate, and they can attack each other during the competition. If you have the ability to kill everyone else at the starting point, then you will directly become the champion."

"Why does it sound like violent racing?" Violent racing is a popular online live broadcast program. The organizers always conduct competitions in particularly poor countries to evade the laws of each country. Participating drivers are required to sign a will and a death wish, and any weapon can be used during the competition. It is almost like a war. But the winner who reaches the finish line first can get a huge bonus, and many desperadoes will sign up to participate. The organizers make money by collecting broadcast fees. I've seen that thing several times. Almost every time, the champion kills everyone else before reaching the finish line. There are no survivors except the champion.

When Xiong heard about violent racing, he immediately said: "Are you watching this too? Let me tell you, the Grand League is an in-game event organized by the organizers of violent racing. It is not illegal to kill people in the game, and you can be resurrected after death. There are many people participating. , the viewing quality will be stronger.”

I looked at Xiaoying in surprise: "You also participate in such a competition?"

"Why don't you participate? The winner can get 17% of the ticket sales of the game. Do you know how much that is?" Seeing me shaking my head, she immediately said excitedly: "Five million, and it's crystal coins."

"Is it so profitable?"

"That's why there are so many people participating. As long as you win, you will get rich. And there is indeed an experience of a very bad person finally winning the championship, because that time all the masters died together, and the fool was left in the end and fell down as soon as he started. He fell too far behind, but he survived to the finish line and won the championship.”

"Isn't that the same as picking it up for free?"

Ling said angrily: "You just know! I watched it that time too, and I even bought the one that Tang Ke won. I didn't expect that Tang Ke would fight with the second best seed player and die together! I was so angry. Oh, 3,000 crystal coins were spent in vain!"

Xiaoying said even more angrily: "You are good. The 10,000 crystal coins I bought for Scud Legs were completely ruined! The banker who opened the market that day made his mouth cramp from laughing! My eyes are swollen from crying!"

"I heard from you that this competition is quite famous?"

"Of course. As long as you can get the winner's trophy, it's not just a matter of money, but also honor and support. Many guilds aim to win the major league championship. Every time they go out, they go out as a team and arrange a few people to protect the seeds. Players and protected people just run. Now this major league has basically become a platform for guilds to show their strength. It is really hard for those of us who compete as individuals to win the championship. But as long as we perform well, even if we fail halfway If you lose, a guild will take the initiative to accept you into the guild. After all, this is a place to show your strength."

Listening to them say this, I always feel that this major league is very valuable. If our guild wants to gain a foothold in the United States, it would be best to participate once. Americans are a gathering of races from all over the world, and their xenophobia is not as serious as other countries. But Americans value strength. If we can perform well in the major leagues, even if we are not an American guild, we can still be recognized by the Americans. "Wolf, after this mission is over, can you take me to see the major leagues? Is there a long interval between games?"

Xiaoying immediately said: "No problem. I'll take you there. I happen to be participating in the next game. The major leagues are held every two weeks, and each game takes almost a day. The next game is the day after tomorrow, and we should just catch up."

"Okay, I'll join you and I can take care of each other."

"What? You want to participate too?"

"What are you doing? No?"

"Okay, I'm just surprised. I had agreed in advance that in the major league, whether it is a player or a summoned object, once it dies, it will directly drop 10 levels. The penalty for death is much more serious than that of a normal death."

"no problem."

"You are so brave. People here usually join the minor leagues for the first time, but you actually want to go directly to the major leagues."

"You don't have to worry about this, it's just fun to play. By the way, is there a limit on the number of people in the game?"

"Of course there is. Otherwise, if any guild would send hundreds of people to protect one seeded player at a time, wouldn't it become a guild war? The Major League stipulates that players participate in the competition in the form of a group. A group can be a guild member or a team. Companions can even be players and their own summons. In short, there is no need to attack each other in the group. Each group is limited to one mount at most. It doesn’t matter how many people ride on the mount, it is just a mount anyway. During the competition, the rider must climb up quickly after falling off the horse. Riders are allowed to walk on the ground, and those who fall off the horse are not allowed to attack others, otherwise they will be directly disqualified. Also, a guild is not allowed to form multiple groups to recharge. If it is found that multiple groups are obviously a group of people but they sign up separately, it will be too many attempts. If you put someone in, you will be immediately disqualified and banned for 3 months. During the competition, there are many inspectors from the organizer outside the venue to videotape, and any violation will be discovered immediately."

"What an exaggerated organization, like an international competition!"

"Of course, those who run the major leagues are those who organize violent racing. They are originally responsible for hosting international competitions."

"That way my chances of winning are even better."

"Why?" They didn't understand what I meant.

I smiled and said, "You will know the secret when the game comes." In fact, my secret is the Ring Knight. With Kitty Hawk and me, and 18 Ring Knights, I don't believe that such a team can compete. to the finish line. Unless the opponent even uses the magic crystal cannon as a weapon.

Along the way, I kept asking about the Major League. It turns out that not everyone can participate in this competition. If you want to sign up, you have to pay. The registration fee for each mount is crystal coins. There is no charge for riders. If you win and win the championship, you will get a super bonus. If you fail to win the championship, you can also get 1,000 crystal coins as a reward as long as you can reach the finish line alive. However, it is said that in addition to No one in the champion group can reach the finish line alive. In addition, the Major League has a special setting where the players’ departure places are randomly selected, which means that everyone does not actually start in the same place, but the distance of the game is similar. Some roads are long but there are no monsters and the roads are relatively easy to walk. Some roads are very close, but you will encounter high-level monsters or rough sections, and even enter the maze. The routes that can be taken during the competition will be marked in advance. Participants can choose whichever route they want after setting off from the drawn starting point. As long as they do not leave the track, it is entirely up to you to decide how to go.

By the time I asked all these things clearly, we had already arrived at the mountain forest where the mission was located. The environment here was similar to the hilly environment we were just in. This kind of terrain is the most common in the game, and they all look similar. Wolf said that the mission description was intermittent. At first, it only said that the altar was in this mountain forest, but there was no record of the exact location. He had no choice but to find it!

Xiaoying is the scout in the team. She can transform into a giant eagle and fly into the sky for reconnaissance. In order to end the mission quickly, I also took off to help find them, but when they saw Ye Ying flying up with me on his back, their eyes almost popped out. Kitty asked in surprise: "Can nightmares fly?"

"Nonsense, nightmares walk in the air. Strictly speaking, nightmares walk without sticking to the ground."

"Then you won't get a big advantage by joining the major leagues?"

"Didn't you say that the major leagues are not allowed to fly?"

"You, this nightmare, are flying close to the ground. Your hooves are symbolically stepping on the ground a few times. Who can tell whether he is flying or running?"

"If you want to win, you have to rely on your strength. There's no point in cheating. Besides, it's not like my Yeying can't outrun others."

"I admire you, but I can tell you that there are all kinds of despicable people in the major leagues. Because the rules are loose, many people come up with bad ideas to harm others. If you are too honest, you will suffer."

This is the first time I heard someone say that I am honest. I don’t know what Polar Star Lord and Dark God Alni thought when they heard this. Just when I was smiling and trying to explain, Xiaoying suddenly said: "We found the target."

I looked in the direction she was swooping down, and sure enough there was an entrance to a cave. "You go down first, and I'll go back and lead them."

"Okay." The little eagle flew towards the cave entrance first, and I returned to the outskirts of the forest to lead the way for the wolves. It didn't take us long to arrive at the entrance of the altar. The little eagle was already collecting moongrass.
