At this moment, the door opened with a creaky sound, and an old woman in her seventies or eighties, wearing a black wizard robe, walked out of the house on crutches.
Suddenly, all the flowers and plants seemed like wronged children finding their parents. They ran behind the old woman and made strange squeaking sounds towards Zhang Yang.
"You wild boy, how dare you scare my children!" The old woman picked up her walking stick and pointed the tip at Zhang Yang, but it turned out to be a magic wand, a dual-purpose one that was very powerful!
[Magician Xia] (Normal, humanoid)
Level: 200
Health: 218680
Note: Xia is not an orthodox magician, but is very knowledgeable in the study of alchemy and magic circles.
Although Zhang Yang could chop down an NPC of this level with just one axe, he was here to complete a mission, not to kill anyone! He raised his hands and said with a smile, "Dear magician, I am an adventurer from Baiyu City, and I would like to ask you to help me repair a magic circle!"
"No! No!" Xia was very angry and shook his head quickly, "You scared my children, and you still want me to repair the magic circle for you?"
"I can compensate!" Zhang Yang said with a smile.
Xia's eyes lit up immediately, and then he snorted and said, "At least 400 gold coins!"
"Sure!" Zhang Yang smiled and walked towards the house.
After Xia calmed the flowers and plants that were running around for a while, these strange flowers and plants were immediately "planted" back into the flower garden one by one and became spirits.
Zhang Yang took out the Sword of Kinross, handed it to Xia, and said, "Dear magician, the magic circle in this sword was damaged when it was recast. Do you have a way to repair it?"
Xia took the sword, rubbed it for a while, and suddenly sneered: "This must be the fault of that greedy dwarf Banderas! Although he is a master of forging, his attainments in magic circles are not even as good as a three-year-old child!"
Looking at the 400 gold coins missing from the account, Zhang Yang thought to himself that you are just like the pot calling the kettle black.
"Hmm? Such an ancient magic circle structure!" Xia exclaimed repeatedly while turning the long sword over and over. After a long time, he said, "This magic circle should have been used thousands or even tens of thousands of years ago. I don't have any information on this! However, I have seen a similar magic circle in the ruins of the Malor Palace in the west. As long as you find the rubbing of the magic circle there, I am sure I can repair the magic circle in this sword!"
"Ding! Magician Xia has issued you a task: Copy the magic circle. Do you accept it?"
accept.
"Ding! You have obtained the item: rubbing tool."
Zhang Yang set off immediately and flew towards the west. After more than 20 minutes of travel, he arrived above an ancient ruin.
This ruin covers a large area, and it can be seen that it must have had a glorious history. However, it has now been corroded by the salt crystals and is in a dilapidated state. It has long lost its former prosperity and heyday, and is only filled with vicissitudes of life.
Because he didn't know where the magic circle was, Zhang Yang could only search back and forth in the dilapidated houses. However, since it was a mission, he couldn't just search peacefully. The monster immediately appeared.
Bang!
A sharp claw broke out from the salt crystal, and a cockroach-like monster appeared in front of Zhang Yang amid flying debris. However, it was at least as big as a bison, and its pair of front claws were like pliers.
[Giant Salt Crystal Cockroach] (Elite, Beast)
Level: 190
HP: 9.5 million
Armor value: 12110
Melee attack power: 86871-126871
Skill:
[Venom Spray]: Spray the target with venom, causing 100,000 points of nature damage. Range: 30 meters.
[Pin Bite]: Use sharp claws to bite the target, causing physical damage equivalent to 100% of melee attack.
Note: Although the giant cockroaches were originally huge, they were not as big as they are today. However, since the saltization of this place, the giant cockroaches have had the opportunity to grow in size.
Zhang Yang rode the Fire Phoenix to meet it, Fei Ling assisted from the side, and reached level 180. The attributes of Fei Ling and the Fire Phoenix had increased to a certain extent, and their lethality was even more amazing. It took only a few moves to knock down the big cockroach, and even dropped a pair of Xuanlingqi boots.
After collecting the spoils, Zhang Yang continued searching. Inevitably, many giant salt crystal cockroaches came out to launch a sneak attack on him. Naturally, they were easily killed. Fei Ling only needed to transform into the form of the Tree of Life to feed Zhang Yang a few sips of milk. There was no need for Zhang Yang to sit down and eat a snack to recover.
After searching back and forth for at least an hour, when Zhang Yang came to a small room, he suddenly saw several mysterious magic circles painted on the wall of the room, flashing a faint light.
That's it!
But at this moment, the ground suddenly cracked, and a giant red salt crystal cockroach appeared in front of Zhang Yang. It was even bigger than the previous cockroach!
[Giant Salt Crystal Cockroach Queen] (Phantom-level leader, beast)
Level: 195
HP: 195 million
Armor value: 12110
Melee attack power: 86932-126932
Skill:[
[Venom Spray], [Pin Bite]
[Ovulation]: Lays 5 eggs. If the cockroach eggs are not broken after 10 seconds, a giant salt crystal cockroach will hatch from each cockroach egg.
Note: The queen is the leader of all giant salt crystal cockroaches, and her most powerful function is naturally to give birth to offspring.
As soon as the queen cockroach appeared, it sprayed a stream of black venom at Zhang Yang. Then it twisted its fat butt and laid five white cockroach eggs.
Damn, he used a big move right at the start, that’s too cruel!
[Cockroach Eggs] (Normal, Summon)
Level: 0
HP: 200,000
Armor value: 0
Note: A giant salt crystal cockroach will hatch in 10 seconds.
Although they were born from the same butt, the positions of the five cockroach eggs were very far apart, making them unsuitable for group killing. Zhang Yang didn't want to cause trouble and kill more small monsters, so he rushed forward and killed the cockroach eggs first.
With his basic attack power of over 260,000, the cockroach eggs were easily killed one by one. With the help of Fei Ling and the Phoenix pet, the five cockroach eggs were easily exploded and turned into a white and yellow liquid on the ground.
"Squeak! Squeak!" The female cockroach was furious and chased Zhang Yang's butt, hitting and pinching it hard.
But Zhang Yang was busy killing cockroach eggs before and had no time to deal with the mother cockroach. Now that he had time, he naturally went up to fight without fear. The trinity attack only took 7 minutes to defeat the boss! Of course, if it weren't for Fei Ling's blood, Zhang Yang would need to use some tactics such as Void Shadow to eliminate hatred, and let Phoenix pet or Fei Ling hold on for a while.
But now he doesn't have to worry about so much, he just needs to fight the boss head-on. The attack power of a mere phantom-level boss is no match for Fei Ling's healing power.
After the boss died, a phantom weapon and three mysterious weapons dropped out. Zhang Yang stuffed them into his backpack without even looking at them. Then he took out the rubbing tool and pressed it towards the magic circle on the wall. With rays of light flowing, the magic circle on the wall strangely disappeared!
The system prompted that the task had been completed. Zhang Yang jumped on the Fire Phoenix and flew back to Xia's residence to return the task.
"It is indeed a magic circle that has been lost for a long time!" Xia took the rubbing tool and kept studying the magic circle inside. "Barbarian, I need some time to thoroughly study the mysteries of these magic circles. Don't be idle. Take this time to get me some magic materials! These ancient magic circles are not made of the magic materials we have now. The materials I have are useless."
"Ding! Magician Xia has issued you a task: Find magic materials. Do you accept it?"
accept.
[Searching for Magic Materials] (Task Difficulty: Level B)
Mission description: Magician Xia wants you to search for materials according to the list she provided, so that she can repair the Sword of Kinross after studying the secrets of the magic circle. Although you are not a researcher of magic circles, you also vaguely feel that this list is too large, and it seems that someone is taking advantage of the opportunity to enrich himself.
Completion: Complete all requirements on the magician's list 01
Zhang Yang opened the list and saw that there were more than 50 kinds of things in total, and each ingredient required 200 portions. He was so greedy!
However, the greater the initial investment, the more income will be in the later stage. Zhang Yang had no doubt about this and immediately began to collect according to the list.
Most of the materials were available at the auction house, but you could also get them yourself. According to Zhang Yang's estimate, if you bought all of them at the auction house, you would need about 1,000 gold coins, and if you collected them yourself, it would take at least a month.
Many materials are not expensive, but they are very rare. If you still have to dig for ores like iron ingots and silver, it is definitely not cost-effective. In addition, bird feathers, deer antlers, and snake scales are not precious things, but it is really not easy to collect a certain number.
Zhang Yang left a message in the guild, asking low-level players not to throw away these things when they get them, but to store them in the guild warehouse no matter how many there are.
Everyone in the guild regards him as an idol. After he sent out the message, many small accounts immediately went to get these materials. After all, leveling up requires killing monsters, so what difference does it make to kill monsters
With everyone working together, Zhang Yang gathered all the materials on the list in just seven days, which was very efficient.
When Zhang Yang brought these materials back to Xiayan, the old witch suddenly laughed so hard that she couldn't close her mouth. She quickly put the things away, as if she was afraid that Zhang Yang would regret it.
"I have just cracked the secrets of those magic circles. With these materials, I can repair the magic circles in the sword!" Xia said.
"Then let's get to work!"
After some scrawl, Xia returned the Sword of Kinross to Zhang Yang and said, "Barbarian, that's enough! Take the sword and leave quickly. You scare my children so much every time!"
