There is something truly poetic about sitting here.
Long case, fallen leaves, tea.
It is surprising that ancient poets felt that it was impossible to live a life of drinking and singing.
But none of the players took action, and they had no idea what the plot of this mission would be. Does anyone know if there is poison in this tea? But they looked at the NPCs, and each NPC carefully picked up the teacup in front of them, as if it was not a cup of tea, but some rare treasure!
Some just stuck out their tongues and licked them slightly, and then showed a look of relief. This look made all the players frown. Could this be some kind of stimulant
It would be even better if it was wine.
The mask's voice echoed throughout the audience.
All the players turned their attention to the mask, but found that the mask had drunk all the tea at some point. When Mr. Duan heard this, he burst into laughter and looked at You Long as if he were looking at some interesting toy: What this little brother said is really what I like. But ordinary wine doesn't have the same effect as my tea.
This tea is taken from the leaves of the sacred tree. The sacred tree takes hundreds of years to grow. After the sacred tree matures, it will take three years for its leaves to wither, and another three years for the green leaves to fill its crown. When the green leaves wither and fall off, it also takes three years. ≯☆≯☆ said, .▽.co⊙And this tea is made from the dead leaves of the sacred tree. In other words, this tea can only be drunk once every nine years. I call it: Shinto tea.
You Long nodded. As soon as he drank the tea, he got a prompt from the system: Drink the Shinto tea and get 10 attribute points, which can be distributed by yourself.
Drinking Shinto tea improves your understanding.
In other words, after drinking this Shinto tea, all the players present will be promoted to two levels out of thin air!
Not to mention the unknown understanding, but You Long could vaguely feel that the benefit of this improvement in understanding was greater than the 10 attribute points.
… …
After hearing Mr. Duan talk about the origin of Shinto tea, all the players also drank the Shinto tea one after another with expressions of ecstasy on their faces. But most of them were because of the attribute points that were added out of thin air, and only a few people looked thoughtful.
After a while, one person stood up.
This is an NPC: Mr. Duan, I have finished drinking the tea. Is it time to discuss swords? An old man beside him laughed and scolded: What are you so anxious about, kid? The NPC looked young, in his early twenties, and looked rebellious: I just look down on these losers and want to teach them a lesson!
Mr. Duan smiled slightly and didn't take it seriously: "Sit down first. When the meeting starts, you will be the first one to come up."
The young NPC cupped his hands and said: Thank you in advance, Mr. Duan. Then he sat down again and looked at the players with expressions full of disdain, which made them all angry.
… …
This time is called Tea Tasting and Sword Discussing. Now that the tea has been tasted, it’s time to compare notes.
Mr. Duan smiled gently, as if nothing in the world could make him angry: We have lived in this land for many years. But he thought that it would be a waste if he kept his martial arts skills rotten in his heart. So, we all want to find a successor.
Later, I would like to ask you all to show your skills, as long as peace is the most important thing.
We will only pick five people.
But for these five people, it doesn't mean that we must defeat our opponents, but we only select people we think are suitable. If we take a fancy to you, even if you only fight once and lose, you will still be favored by us.
Of course, if you just want to sit back and watch, that's fine, but that means you've given up on fighting for these five people. Mr. Duan smiled and scanned the players with his starry eyes: Of course, it is possible that you all take action and you don't get a single spot.
All the players were silent, but at the same time, the fighting spirit in their hearts was burning.
There is no fool who can make it this far.
Just look at the abnormal elimination rate in the first stage, and then look at the rewards of Shinto tea.
And only five people were selected in the end
Selecting five people out of hundreds of thousands of people, can this inheritance be weak
Moreover, Mr. Duan even said that the final decision on the candidate is not based on strength, but on suitability. In terms of strength, no one here is sure of winning, so after Mr. Duan finished speaking, everyone's hearts became even hotter. Just like buying lottery tickets, everyone has a chance to win!
… …
alright! Which of you will go first? The NPC boy who was the first to jump out just now shouted again. Everyone frowned, but no one took action. Although they all want to gain inheritance, no one wants to be the first person. It is best for someone to come out and be cannon fodder to find out...
Do you really think we have no one? A cold laughter sounded from the players.
The sound was accompanied by black smoke, and a man walked out, carrying a long sword on his back.
The underworld──Hades, I want you to learn some great tips.
Hey hey hey, finally here comes someone who has the guts. My name is Tai'an, remember the name of the person who defeated you! Tai'an also pulled out his long sword, and the sword clanged in his hand.
Hades looked solemn and slowly pulled out the long sword. There was no clue about the dark long sword.
Look at the sword! Tai'an shouted loudly, and the sword struck like lightning! Hades' pupils shrank, what a fast sword!
Among the two words "Kan Jian", Tai'an had already drawn his sword as soon as the word "Kan Jian" came out, and at the moment when the word "Sword" was not finished, the tip of the sword had already reached Hades's chest! But Hades's cold eyes were full of fiery fighting spirit!
Faster
Just what I wanted!
Ding ding! The long sword struck twice instantly, two consecutive strikes!
The two swords clashed, and Tai'an also shouted: "Okay!" But almost instantly, his sword transformed into three rays of sword light, sealing the power of Hades's sword in a glyph shape!
Hades' reaction was not slow. The long sword danced in a circle in front of him, and at the same time, it thrust forward like a silver lightning, defending and attacking!
The assassin players present were stunned!
This... This is the assassin's ultimate skill - poisonous stab!
Venomous Sting, blocking the enemy's attack in front and then counterattacking instantly. If the weapon is poisoned, the effect of the poison will be doubled.
But it is the strongest skill of the assassin's poison attack. The doubling of the poison alone has made this skill one of the strongest skills of the assassin. To put it simply, if the poison effect is to drop a certain amount of blood every second, then after using the poisonous assassin, the blood amount will be doubled immediately!
But the silver sword of Hades in front of him was shining brightly, and it was obviously not poisoned! Moreover, with such an aboveboard but ruthless and decisive swordsmanship, is this really an assassin? Aren't you a weapons user?
… …
The fallen leaves around them occasionally fell into the battle between the two, but they were instantly crushed into powder, swept up by the breeze, and then disappeared without a trace.
Tai'an was obviously surprised that Hades actually chose to fight with him, but for a moment his eyes were full of excitement!
Good guy! How dare you compete with me!
Tai'an was not slow either. He tilted his sword to block Hades's sword and at the same time retreated, trying to dodge the sword. But Hades's eyes flickered, and the figure thrust forward suddenly turned into a phantom. The players present all slapped their thighs: Great!
He actually forcibly interrupted his poisonous stabbing attack and launched a shadow attack!
