Cheng Ling had just killed a fish monster and got only one essence, and then returned to Novice Village. It was difficult for ordinary people to imagine.
But he has his own ideas! With his current strength, the fish monster was too difficult to kill, and he didn't want to team up with others. The only way was to increase his own strength.
There are many ways to increase your strength. The most important thing at the moment is to get a sword weapon and a sword technique. Although he didn't know why, Cheng Ling knew intuitively that what he wanted to learn was swordsmanship.
It’s just that the price of secret books and weapons is not low. According to the market in Novice Village, it is likely that an ordinary sword requires ten essences, plus the sword skill secret book, it will be twenty, and he only has one essence on his body. How can I exchange everything?
There was nothing to say. What Cheng Ling relied on was his business acumen. He had to use his superb negotiation skills to advance the secret book of swordsmanship directly from the old man's hands.
The target has been locked, and without any hesitation, he walked directly towards the old man.
When the old man saw Cheng Ling, he was startled for a moment. This guy had been slow to kill the fish monster before, waiting until the last one before starting. Now less than an hour had passed, why was he back again? Did he kill ten fish monsters so quickly?
He shook his head and quickly put an end to this unrealistic thought. In the mountains and rivers virtual realm for countless years, I have never seen a novice kill ten fish monsters in such a short period of time.
Cheng Ling came to the old man, bowed slightly, took out the essence from his arms, and said, "Senior, I've invited you. I want to make a deal with you."
The old man was stunned, glanced at the Jingyuan in his hand, and said warily: "Boy, you want to exchange for my secret book with just one Jingyuan. It's simply wishful thinking. I tell you it's on credit without asking!"
Cheng Ling was not in a hurry and said with a smile: "It's like this. I don't want to ask for the secret book from my senior for nothing, but we want to discuss it. Do you think this is good? If the senior sells the secret book to me first, within ten days, How about I pay you fifteen essences in ten days?"
"Fifteen pieces of essence?" The old man's heart moved. He looked Cheng Ling up and down and said, "You have a good plan. If you can't hand over fifteen pieces of essence within ten days, won't I lose everything?"
"It is indeed possible, but have you ever thought about it, senior? If the junior gets the secret book, he will be more confident in dealing with the fish monster. You see, in just one hour, the junior has the ability to kill a fish monster. After getting the secret book, , isn’t it more efficient?”
"In this way, you will not only get more essence, but it will also be of great help to the junior. I promise that if I buy secret books from you in the future, the price will be increased by 20%!"
Um? The old man raised his eyebrows, this business must be done! This is equivalent to the fact that every time Cheng Ling buys a secret book, it will be two more essences than the original price. This is the way of slow water and long flow, and he was suddenly moved.
After thinking for a while, he finally said: "In that case, I agree, but boy, if you can't return the fifteen pieces of essence within ten days, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Cheng Ling was secretly happy in her heart, her eyes turned into crescent moon buds as she smiled, and said: "This is natural, I am willing to admit defeat!"
"That's all, you can choose which secret book you want!"
Cheng Ling chuckled, took away the basic swordsmanship book from the stall, and then said, "Senior, may I ask if there is a shop selling weapons in this village?"
"Of course there is. Not only that, although the village is small, Sparrow is small and well-equipped. There are shops selling armor, weapons, groceries, etc.
Everything. Seeing that my little friend is destined to be with me, here is a map of Novice Village. I’ll give it to you! "
Cheng Ling was overjoyed and hurriedly reached out to take it, while hurriedly thanking the old man.
Opening the map, it turns out that as the old man said, there are many shops in the village, and there is a red mark on the west side of the village leading to the wasteland, with three big words written on it: Rebirth!
He was confused and asked: "Senior, where is this place of rebirth?"
The old man rolled his eyes and said calmly: "The place of rebirth is naturally the place of new life, the virtual realm of mountains and rivers. As long as a monk dies, he will be reborn in this place. However, the place of rebirth is not only in Novice Village. When you reach a higher level in the future, Go to larger cities and interfaces, those places also exist.”
Cheng Ling understood immediately, silently remembered the locations of the shops and the rebirth place, and left.
The next target was the weapons shop. In the same way, he flashed the Jingyuan in front of the shopkeeper, and with his sharp tongue, he bought a long sword on credit for fifteen Jingyuan.
This is an ordinary sheathed long sword. When you hold the sword, a familiar feeling arises spontaneously, as if your hand was supposed to hold a sword, as if you were born to practice swords and live for the sword.
The scabbard was made of fish scale leather and the hilt was matte black. Cheng Ling held the hilt with his right hand and felt a slight friction between his palm and the hilt, making it difficult for his hand to slip.
He slowly drew the sword, and the slight friction sound of the sword blade and the scabbard was heard. The sound was a bit noisy and a bit obscure. He murmured to himself: "This sword is three feet two long, one inch wide, and 0.25 inches thick. , weighing six pounds and eighty-seven pounds...The casting technique is average, and the quality of the sword is very ordinary..."
As soon as you hold the sword in your hand, you not only feel a very familiar feeling, but at a glance, you can see the advantages and disadvantages of this sword.
This is a fish scale sword, a very ordinary long sword made of fish bones, but no matter how simple or ordinary it is, it is still a sword, a sword that can kill people.
The sword was slowly unsheathed. The blade was gray-silver and a little dim. Cheng Ling stared at the blade for a while, and the familiar feeling became stronger and stronger. There was no move, just a random wave, a slight sound of breaking wind sounded, a flash of sword light, and a slash of the sword.
"Why do I feel that I should have mastered a lot of swordsmanship..." Cheng Ling secretly thought, but no matter how he thought about it, he could not remember any swordsmanship he had practiced. In desperation, I could only open the secret book that was tricked from the old man's hand and read it carefully.
Basic swordsmanship, the name of the secret book is very realistic, it is really just some simple basic sword moves. But this is already very good for the current Cheng Ling. His strong understanding and natural affinity for swordsmanship make it easy for him to master those sword moves.
After combing for a while, he picked up the sword and walked towards the beach again.
The most important thing at hand is to return the thirty pieces of essence to the old man and the weapons shop owner, and they only have ten days. Killing a fish monster can get one essence. According to the previous combat efficiency, one can be killed in about an hour.
But Cheng Ling knew that this was a bit too idealistic. With his current state and physical strength, it is simply impossible to fight continuously all the time. He needs to rest and take in energy! There are twelve hours in a day, and fighting for six hours is probably the limit.
When I came to the beach again, I saw more monks on the beach.
"Damn, the fish monster is too strong. Although I can judge its attack, it is difficult to dodge it.
. "
"If I had the strength of my body, I could kill even a thousand fish monsters instantly with one strike of my sword."
Along the way, Cheng Ling heard a lot of discussions. In just over two hours, many monks had been killed by the fish monster.
"Let's join forces. If more people join forces, with our combat experience, we will definitely be able to kill the fish monster."
Although these monks have their training memories sealed, their fighting consciousness is still very strong. It is difficult to kill the fish monster alone, and there is even a risk of being killed. But humans have wisdom, but ordinary fish monsters have no wisdom and only have animal nature.
"Brother, are you going to hunt the fish monster?" Someone blocked Cheng Ling's path and asked directly.
"Any advice?" Cheng Ling asked calmly.
"Brother, you still don't know how powerful the fish monster is. We are no match for the fish monster now. Why don't you join forces with us to deal with the fish monster together? The essence obtained will be distributed according to contribution." This man talked. Tan, it was in this way that he brought together several people.
"I'm used to walking alone." Cheng Ling said, rejecting the other party.
"That's a pity." After being rejected, the man's eyes flashed, and he immediately smiled and returned to his team.
The other teams saw Cheng Ling's refusal and did not say hello.
Cheng Ling didn't care. He walked along the previous path towards where the fishing net was. On the beach, colorful shellfish could be seen everywhere, and there were also some weird fish swimming around, ranging from as small as the length of a finger to as large as more than one meter. , looks very plump.
Seeing those swimming fish, Cheng Ling licked his lips and felt a hint of hunger. He immediately quickened his pace. An hour had passed and he went to see what he had harvested from the fishing nets he had put down earlier.
When I came closer, I glanced around and felt very happy. There were already more than a dozen marine fish about an inch long caught in the fishing net. Now, you don’t have to worry about meat.
He did not put away the fishing net immediately, but walked slowly towards the sea not far from the side of the fishing net.
In less than a moment, a fish monster sensed his presence and rushed towards him.
Cheng Ling's breathing gradually slowed down and became longer. The power of this body had been fully mobilized by him as he walked.
The instinct of swordsmanship has already penetrated deep into the soul. Without the slightest fear, he concentrated on dealing with it with all his strength.
When the fish-scale sword was unsheathed, there was no bright sword light or earth-shattering sword power, only the sharpness on both sides of the blade.
The fish monster suddenly exerted force, and rushed towards Cheng Ling like an arrow. The bone gun in its hand stabbed hard into the vital part of the chest.
Cheng Ling swung his sword horizontally, and made a "clang" sound from the sword. His right arm was numb, secretly saying that it was so powerful. With the tip of the sword facing inward, he took a big step forward with his right foot and stabbed out with the fish scale sword.
The fish monster turned around, not dodging or dodging, and the ancient spear turned around to resist. But Cheng Ling's sword was extremely fast, and the tip of the fish scale sword had already penetrated the side of the fish monster's body. It let out a painful roar and swept towards Cheng Ling's waist.
Cheng Ling returned the sword, but when he pulled it out, he didn't break free. The fish scale sword happened to be stuck between the two barbs on the fish monster's body. At the moment of lightning, his arm exerted force again, and the long sword penetrated the fish monster's armpit and passed directly through the entire chest.
But the spear that the fish monster swept over was unable to dodge, and it hit the waist hard.
Fortunately, the sword just killed the fish monster, and he managed to kill it at a certain cost. The second essence slowly floated in the air.
