"What's going on?" Zhang Yang asked.
"Under Tiffany's leadership, we killed the vampire bats all the way and were about to reach their lair, but suddenly many bat reinforcements flew down from the Demon Mountain. Among them was a guy who was so powerful that he even defeated Tiffany and captured her and brought her back to the Demon Mountain!" said a villager.
"Warrior, you look very powerful. Can you help us rescue Tiffany?" said another villager.
"Ding! You completed the mission: Get information, and gained 100,000 experience points!"
"Ding! Clover Villager has given you a mission: Rescue Tiffany. Do you accept it?"
It’s better to save lives than to be an underwear thief!
Zhang Yang decisively chose to accept, but the problem was, how was he going to get to the Magic Mountain? He couldn't fly! If he got a flying combat mount after reaching level 100, he could fly directly up, but what should he do now
He said to the villagers, "Tiffany is my relative. I will save her even if you don't tell me! But the magic mountain is suspended in the air. How can I get up there?"
The villagers were stunned. After a while, someone slapped his thigh and said, "I figured it out!"
"Um?"
"I heard from the old people in the village that there is a teleportation array at the foot of the mountain that can teleport people directly to the Demon Mountain!" the villager explained.
Zhang Yang asked hurriedly: "Where is the teleportation array?"
"On the other side of the mountain, however, it is said that there is a very scary Cyclops there, and anyone who gets close to it dies!"
Just kill the monsters if you find any. If you can't kill them alone, bring a group of people! Zhang Yang laughed and said, "You guys go back to the village. I'll find a way to rescue Tiffany!"
The villagers didn't say anything polite and just turned around and left.
Zhang Yang patted the white bear and walked around the foot of the mountain to the west of the hillside. The terrain here was steep, with sharp stone thorns everywhere, and the white bear's forward speed immediately slowed down. But Zhang Yang was not in a hurry. There were still many herbs to pick along the way. Although herbs like wild steel flowers and stone moss roots were not rare, they were rare goods when there were no large numbers of herb-picking players entering the level 70 map. This was why Zhang Yang changed to studying herbal medicine, because he could only be self-sufficient.
The small map suddenly showed a magic eye grass in the left front. Zhang Yang was delighted and hurriedly patted the big white bear and turned to walk over. The magic eye grass can be used to prepare the fourth-level strength potion, which is a very effective potion for improving physical professions at this stage.
"Hiss--" A long, scarlet snake suddenly raised its triangular head and spit out its bloody red tongue when Zhang Yang approached.
Starting from the level 60 map, no matter it is a mine or grass point, there are always monsters guarding nearby. However, due to the different rarity of the mines and grass, the strength of the monsters also varies. Some are just ordinary monsters, while others are elites, and there are even stronger boss-level monsters!
Just like the Black Panther King that Zhang Yang encountered at level 10, it was guarding a pile of fine iron ore! In other words, the game developer specially refreshed the mine next to the Black Panther King's nest to increase the difficulty for players to obtain the mine!
However, the magic eye grass is not a very precious herb, so this poisonous snake is just an ordinary monster.
Zhang Yang patted the big white bear and rushed forward. With just three swords and two knives, he and the big white bear beat the stinky snake to the ground and harvested a few pieces of snake meat.
Snake meat is a culinary specialty.
Cooking, first aid, and fishing are three auxiliary skills in the game, which can be learned together with the two business skills without conflict. However, cooking and fishing are both time-consuming and not particularly useful, so few players focus on them.
Of course, there are also some players who don't like to fight monsters and PK. They go fishing every day and practice cooking to kill time.
Cooking can produce snacks that are used to restore health and mana. Compared to snacks sold in stores, some snacks produced by cooking have some additional effects, such as increasing physical strength and power, making players run faster, etc.
However, snacks that can add additional effects require high-level materials to make, and snake meat is the material that can be used to make such snacks!
Zhang Yang casually put the snake meat into his backpack. He didn’t practice cooking skills because he thought it was a waste of time. But he was prepared. There were a few life-style players in the guild who were of low level but had very high fishing and cooking skills. He just had to give the snake meat to them! …
"Ding! You used Gather on the Magic Eye Grass, and your Herbalism proficiency increased by 1 point!"
"Ding! You picked up Magic Eye Grass x2!"
Zhang Yang continued to move forward, picking up several herbs along the way and harvesting a lot of snake meat, which was considered a small harvest.
After climbing over a small hill, he saw a mist suddenly appear in front of him, and a huge fountain pool appeared in front of Zhang Yang. The gushing spring water formed colorful neon in the sky, which was very magnificent.
And by the side of this fountain pool, there sat an extremely tall giant, whose upper body alone was seven or eight meters tall. His face shape was similar to that of a human, but he had only one eye, which was located in the place where a normal person's forehead should be.
The giant only had a piece of animal skin wrapped around his lower body, and on his right hand was a huge stone stick covered with blood. It was unknown how many lives had been lost under this stone stick.
[Cyclops Van Gogh] (Silver-level leader, humanoid creature)
Level: 75
HP: 750,000
Armor value: 800
The Cyclops saw it, but where was the teleportation array? Zhang Yang looked around, but he couldn't find the whereabouts of the teleportation array.
Maybe, we have to kill this boss first!
Zhang Yang drew out his sword and shield, patted the big white bear, and rushed towards the boss.
Van Gogh had a wide range of hatred and quickly noticed Zhang Yang's intrusion. He immediately stood up, picked up a millstone-sized stone from the ground and threw it at Zhang Yang.
The attack was fast and accurate. Zhang Yang quickly raised his shield to protect himself. With a bang, the big rock hit the shield, creating a string of sparks and a loud crash.
The big white bear roared angrily and launched a brutal charge, suddenly pouncing in front of boss Tao and waving its big claws to slap the boss.
Zhang Yang also swung out a sword, chopping off Boss Tao's big toes.
"Pain—" Van Gogh roared, and suddenly picked up the stone stick and smashed it on Zhang Yang's head.
3756!
The damage is okay, but considering the 6-second block, the damage per second caused to Zhang Yang is only over 1,000. It takes a full minute to reduce his health to nearly 60,000. And Zhang Yang has a lot of life-saving and blood-recovering skills, which are enough to defeat the boss several times!
"Human, why are you attacking me!" Van Gogh made a low voice, rolling like thunder.
Zhang Yang was stunned. Players kill monsters, Ultraman fights monsters. Isn't that natural? When will monsters ask why
For a moment, he really didn't know how to answer. After thinking for a while, he said, "Cyclops, I want to use the teleportation array!"
"So you are in the same group with those dirty bat people!" Van Gogh roared again and stomped his right foot hard, causing the ground to tremble. It was obvious that he was very angry.
I don't know what grudge this boss has against me, it seems he is an enemy rather than a friend, but the battle has already started and it can't be stopped! Zhang Yang opened fire at full power, although his health was decreasing quickly, but the boss was even faster!
The big skills were used one after another, and after two minutes, Van Gogh only had 10% of his health left! The boss suddenly feinted and turned around and ran away!
Dare to run
Zhang Yang patted the big white bear and immediately chased after it.
However, boss 瘘 did not run too far, but jumped into the fountain surrounded by mist with a "bang", and his huge body immediately splashed water all over the sky.
What surprised Zhang Yang was that boss Tao's health was recovering rapidly!
He immediately discovered that Van Gogh had an additional benefit: the Fountain of Life.
[Fountain of Life]: Restore 1% of health per second.
In just a few seconds, Boss Tao's health had returned to 17%!
Damn, that’s cheating!
The big white bear rushed into the fountain with Zhang Yang, and he immediately gained the benefit of the Fountain of Life.
"The fountain of life belongs to me, no one can take it away!" the boss yelled, swinging a stone stick at Zhang Yang.
Zhang Yang was stunned. Although his damage was strong, it was not strong enough to reduce 1% of the boss's health in one second! With the help of the Fountain of Life, he could fight a protracted battle with the boss. If they continued like this, they would not be able to decide the winner even if they fought until tomorrow!
After a fight in the hot spring, when all Zhang Yang's big skills had cooled down, he jumped out of the hot spring and tried to lure the boss out.
Although Van Gogh was only a silver boss, his IQ was not low. He waited until his health was fully restored before he strode towards Zhang Yang.
Both sides are back to square one and start all over again!
Zhang Yang was beating the boss while pulling him away, but the boss was very alert. It could be said that when the boss was designed, it was stipulated that he could not leave the Fountain of Life too far. When Van Gogh walked about a hundred meters away, he refused to chase him anymore and directly left the battle and sat back beside the hot spring.
It’s become a spirit!
Zhang Yang looked at the skill bar and saw that the cooldown of the God and Demon Dance was still 3 hours away!
First reduce the boss's health to 100,000, then use the Gods and Demons Dance to finish the job, leaving it no chance to recover its health!
Zhang Yang made up his mind and was no longer in a hurry. He patted the big white bear and asked it to leave temporarily, to go somewhere else to dig some grass and get some snake meat, waiting for the dance of gods and ghosts to cool down.
Herbs like wild hyacinth are common herbs. Although they are only found in maps above level 70, they are widely distributed and refresh very quickly, about once every 20 minutes or so. After three hours of wandering, Zhang Yang's backpack was already filled with a large number of different herbs.
It’s time to go boss!
