"Yes, I am." Ye Qiu nodded and took out a stalk of Blood Surging Grass. He handed it to Sun Bofu and said with a smile,"This should be what you want, right?”
Sun Bofu took it and frowned as he looked at it carefully. Then, he nodded and said,"That's right, it's the Blood Surging Grass. I didn't expect you to really find such a rare herb.”
Although he was very unwilling to admit it, the truth was right in front of him. Sun Bofu could not afford to go back on his words. This man named Ye Qiu had really done something that even he could not do. The Wolf Valley was simply a place of death. How could humans return safely after entering? He admitted that Ye Qiu was very powerful, but he was absolutely unwilling to believe that this person could kill the Bloodthirsty Golden Wolf. That ferocious wolf was almost an invincible existence.
"Ding…Wolf Valley herb picking side quest completed. The system has rewarded you with the skill book Blazing Prairie and 80 Soul Crystals. Please check it yourself, God's Chosen One."
Hearing the system notification, Ye Qiu was overjoyed. Skill book! Another skill book! He knew that skill books were much more valuable than blue equipment. For Ye Qiu, blue equipment might be of more help to him now, but in the long run, blue equipment and skill books were incomparable. This was because blue equipment couldn't evolve, but skills could. The more advanced they were, the more terrifying their skills would become.
[Blazing Prairie: After learning, you can learn the skill Blazing Prairie. It is a fire-type attack and has an attack bonus to heavy armor classes.]
Looking at the fiery red skill book lying in the space, Ye Qiu didn't hesitate and immediately chose to learn it. The skill book instantly turned into a flame and rushed into his body.
[Blazing Prairie: Passive skill, can be upgraded.] [Current Level: Intermediate] Every time a random attack is launched, there is a 2% chance of triggering elemental chaos, causing the descent of heavenly fire. All targets in a 5×5 area in front of the learner will be dealt fire damage equivalent to 100% of the learner's own attack power.
Looking at the skill introduction, Ye Qiu really didn't know what to say. It was actually a passive skill! At this stage, because of Phantasmal Shadow, Ye Qiu didn't have any extra True Qi to use his skill. As a result, he hadn't used his skill bar's Blazing Arrow Shower many times. It wasn't that he didn't want to use it, but each use cost 100 True Qi. How could he bear to spend so much True Qi to use this skill that didn't deal much damage? Rather than that, he might as well let Phantasmal Shadow exist for a while longer.
Therefore, for Ye Qiu, passive skills were the most important and most suitable.
Although Blazing Prairie only had a 2% chance of triggering, which meant that this skill would only trigger once every 50 attacks. Although the probability was very small, if it was upgraded to a higher level, it would definitely become a nightmare for Heavy Armor Khakata.
A skill book and 80 Soul Crystals. Ye Qiu was satisfied. Adding on the Soul Crystals he had accumulated previously, he already had 360 Soul Crystals. This was many times less than his goal of 100 Soul Crystals when he first came to this world.
The system's reward had already been issued. Next was the reward from Sun Bofu.
Ye Qiu smiled at Sun Bofu and reminded him,"General Sun, the task you gave me was not simple at all. The Bloodthirsty Golden Wolf hidden in that cave almost took my life. If it wasn't for my good luck, I might not be able to stand in front of you now. This Ye has gone through so much trouble to complete this mission. Don't let this Ye feel disappointed.”
"Hahaha, Brother Ye Qiu, what are you talking about? Brother Ye has helped me so much, so this Sun naturally wouldn't dare to be negligent.”Sun Bofu said with a smile. Pausing for a moment, he suddenly clapped his hands and continued,"Men, bring the treasure that South Yue has offered. I want to give it to brother Ye Qiu. Also, give this Blood Surging Grass to my mother.”
The servant accepted the order and took the Blood Surging Grass before quickly leaving.
Then, Sun Bofu looked at Ye Qiu and smiled."Brother Ye Qiu is brave and invincible. I wonder if you are willing to join me and conspire against the world.”
Sorry, I'm not interested." Ye Qiu chuckled and said,"Compared to the world, I prefer my current job."”
"Continue to be a mercenary?" Sun Bofu said playfully.
"Of course!" "This is the life I want."”
"Alright, I have a mission that suits you very well. I wonder if you dare to accept it?”Sun Bofu narrowed his eyes and said seriously.
"Hahaha, General Sun is underestimating me, Ye Qiu. In this world, there's nothing that I, Ye Qiu, don't dare to do.”Ye Qiu was very excited. The mission was here again, and the reward was here again.
Sun Bofu also laughed loudly. He patted Ye Qiu's shoulder and said,"Good! I was right about you."
After a pause, his tone changed and he suddenly asked,"Brother Ye Qiu, do you know who that person was?”
Ye Qiu knew what he was asking, so he nodded and said,"I know! Zhuge Kongming, the number one strategist of Liu Bei, the ruler of Shu, was said to be a god-like soldier. His strategy and art of war were unparalleled.”
"Humph! Not necessarily!" The one who snorted was not Sun Bofu, but Zhou Gongjin, who had been staying by his side.
Duke Jin of Zhou also had his own way of leading troops. He thought highly of himself and did not think that he was inferior to Zhuge Liang.
Ye Qiu shrugged." How would I know who's stronger between the two of you? Besides, I'm not interested in knowing. What I care about is what mission General Sun wants to give me."”
"Defend Lujiang City!" "If I hand over the entire Lujiang City to you, do you have the confidence to defend it?" Sun Bofu asked in a deep voice.”
" Uh…this…" Ye Qiu didn't know how to answer this time.
Guarding Lujiang City? What kind of joke was this? It was fine for him to charge into the enemy's formation, but he had to guard the city? Wouldn't this make Ye Qiu look bad on purpose?
Defending a city was not like killing monsters. There were simply too many ways to go about it. He did not know how to arrange troops to boost morale. All he had was his own strength. It was unrealistic to think that he could defend a city by himself.
"Ding…do you accept the non-mandatory main quest to defend Lujiang City?”
The system notification sounded.
Ye Qiu hesitated. If he failed the main mission, he would die.
"Phantom, what should I do?" Ye Qiu couldn't make a decision, so he could only ask his wife.
Phantasmal Shadow did not answer directly. Instead, she said faintly,""You're my man.”
