After making breakfast for Hestia, Shano walked alone on the main street, which was different from the atmosphere at noon. The Dao that was neither noisy nor complicated gave people a very empty feeling. The stone shops built on both sides of the road were still tightly closed.
He might be lost in the maze for a long time. Should he buy some jerky to take away?
“!？”Xia Nuo turned her head abruptly. Stop and look behind.
He had a bad feeling. Although it was not the kind of killing intent that could be detected, it felt like he was being stared at by a pair of eyes.
In the morning before the official opening of the store, there was no suspicious trace. Instead, strange gazes were focused on Xia Nuo, who was standing upright in the middle of the road. But at this moment, Xia Nuo had no energy to notice this. Was it because he had too much self-awareness?
Forget it, let's enter the Buried City first.
As Summer ventured deeper into the Buried City, the frequency of monsters appearing increased. There was even one time when Summer saw a Tauren gathering place on the 12th floor. There were about 20 of them. But so what? Even if I were to increase my ability points and level up, Summer did not have the strength to provoke this huge Fallen camp. Even an ordinary Level 2 adventurer team would be discovered by the Tauren crowd. It seemed that it was necessary to be careful. You couldn't pretend to be a b * stard just because you didn't die on the 17th floor for three to four hours. Even if there were many ants, they could kill an elephant!
Moreover, even if Xia Nuo added all the buffs of the Paladin and the skills of the Gale Sword Hero, he would at most be a Level 3 Adventurer.
After avoiding this large Tauren gathering place, I had to mention the few Ratfolk that I encountered later. These cunning and pitiful creatures could only rely on hiding in the grass and attacking from the shadows due to their lack of strength. It was indeed a headache for newbies, but for experienced people, the way to deal with them would be interesting.
By the way, they didn't have much intelligence.
First, you had to find out where the Ratfolk were hiding. Then, you had to provoke them. The easiest way was to throw things at them. Ratfolk were a group of creatures with hyperactivity and stupidity. It was their limit to hide in one place and launch a sneak attack. If you provoked them like this, it would not take long for them to rush out and squeak.
Then, as long as you brought them along and ran around the terrain, attacking from their blind spots, you could easily kill them one by one.
You said they would run back? There was no need to worry about this. They were not monsters in the game. They had fixed AI. After angering them, their originally low IQ would infinitely tend to be negative. They would continue to chase you until you died or you escaped from sight for a few minutes. Only then would they return to their territory.
In short, you would first provoke them and lure them out. These two points had already been mentioned earlier. Then, you would follow the terrain and circle behind them. You would hit them with a heavy blow, and then circle to the other side. At this time, they were facing away from you. Seeing that they were foolishly guarding against the direction where Xia Nuo had just appeared, you would be embarrassed to hit them.
He was just saying. He still had to continue to raise his hand.
Unfortunately, the people of this world liked to fight face-to-face, so the dirty play had never been promoted. "You people from the other world have learned the Sun Knight's recklessness, but you haven't learned the Sun Knight's sneak attack technique. It was simply a bad review!
People like me who rely on their brains to make a living are different from them.
After killing the Ratfolk, Xia Nuo dug out their hearts. Ignoring the twitching body and the flying blood drops, he went straight for the shining cyanotic shard in the center of his chest.
This was a magic stone. A magical crystal that can be obtained from monsters…I heard that it is. As usual, I don't know the details. It seemed like it was just as Lord God had said. It was really time for him to read the Book of the World.
All in all, this crystal had incredible power, and it could be exchanged for money in the guild. This means that this Magic Stone is the source of income for us adventurers.
The best example was the magic stone lamp in Xia Nuo's house. The magic stone could be used in various ways to help people's lives through human technology, such as being used in ignition devices and freezers to preserve food. Therefore, magic crystals were regarded as precious resources. It was said that the Labyrinth City, Eulalia, had obtained great benefits by selling this magic stone product to other regions or countries. However, in this situation, rather than calling it a maze city, it was more like the guild had gained benefits.
Strictly speaking, what I got from the Ratfolk was not a Magic Stone, but a Magic Stone Fragment.
This thing was only the size of a fingernail. According to Xia Nuo's verification, the monsters from the first to fourth levels could basically get a little bit bigger. The exchange rate was very low. It seemed that the bigger the Magic Stones, the more money the guild would pay.
Xia Nuo stared blankly at the cyanotic crystal in his hand. Suddenly, the Ratfolk's body changed after removing the Magic Stone. In the beginning, he found that the dye was beginning to fall off, and in the blink of an eye, he found that his head had collapsed, and finally, his entire body had turned gray and disappeared without a trace.
This was the end of a monster that had lost its magic stone. According to Ina, magic crystals were the cores of monsters, and this was the source of their activity. She also taught me how to aim at magic stones for the purpose of defeating monsters, which is very effective. Although the Magic Stone would be worthless once it shattered, what was more important than life?
After watching the Ratfolk turn into ashes and disappear, Xia Nuo began to repeat the same project.
He raised the clothes pole and swung it down, down, down.
"Hmm?" After dealing with the last corpse, there was a lone right claw left in the body that should have turned into ashes.
He took out the sharp protrusion that was buried in the ashes. He touched it lightly, but it didn't seem like he was about to disappear. It seemed like it was a dropped item.
Monsters that had their magic stones removed would sometimes leave a prototype of a part of their body like this. It was said that the place where the monster was left behind was the place where the monster was abnormally developed. It had the power to exist independently without the magic stone. In this case, it should be magic power. When he was alive, he must have been a powerful weapon for the monster.
This item could also be exchanged for gold. To be more specific, it would be used as a material for weapons or defensive equipment. Although the price of each item varied, under normal circumstances, these items could be exchanged for more money than magic stone fragments.
"How lucky!" He put the Magic Stone Fragment into his waist bag and threw the Ratfolk's skull into the black backpack on his back.
This backpack was made with a special method, so it was a magic bag that could store far more items than its appearance could contain...
If the cloth reached its limit, it would naturally overflow and break. Of course, the weight was still intact. How could there be such a convenient thing in the world? Not to mention the storage rings that often appeared in fantasy novels, that was already something that surpassed God's ability.
Originally, things like magic stones and dropped items would be collected and secured by non-combatants known as assistants. However, since there was only one member of the Hestia family, Shano, who had entered the maze alone, had to carry heavy luggage that could be exchanged for money to fight.
However, Xia Nuo never wore armor, so the weight of the backpack and the items inside could be considered armor.
"That's about it for today. We've gained quite a lot of things.”After saying all that, Xia Nuo also handed in his daily quest, Monster Hunt. He received 10 attribute points, 30 awakening points, 50 gold coins, and a few bottles of normal healing potions.
He had obtained a lot of attribute points and gold coins today, but his awakening points had decreased slightly. However, it was still acceptable.
By the way, the reward for the daily mission was proportional to the number and strength of the creatures killed that day.
