Gu Ming has the status of "archaeologist" and can later take over the task of examining (robbing) ancient (tombs) from Xiaoqian.
Just like the old beggar, the archaeological tasks will be refreshed regularly.
The rewards for archaeological missions are mainly experience points and treasure chests, through which various items can be obtained.
However, there are currently no tasks refreshed here, so she will have to wait for a while.
So Gu Ming had no choice but to say goodbye to Xiaoqian temporarily and left the tomb area in the west of the city.
It was around five o'clock in the afternoon. Gu Ming chatted with his friends for a while, thinking about what to do next.
"By the way, this thing..."
He took out a brown seed the size of a baby's fist from his backpack.
Poison ivy seeds!
This is the item he dropped after killing the Abyss Poison Ivy. It can be planted to become a defensive plant. Judging from the description, it should be quite lethal.
I don’t know how long it will take to grow this thing.
Since the city battle is imminent, let’s plant this thing first!
But where to plant it?
Gu Ming opened the world map, checked it out, and quickly selected the location he liked. Then he summoned the Tyrannosaurus Rex mount and started to rush to the target location.
At the same time, he took off the Qianhuan Mask on his face, restored it to the large size, and summoned the little zombie Liuli - he put his pet away because Liuli was so recognizable that he only needed to switch to the small one. You can recognize Liuli when you see him, so when he switches his trumpet, he will put Liuli away first.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!" The little zombie crawled out of the coffin bag and automatically appeared on the head of the Tyrannosaurus Rex. She put her hands on her hips and showed an expression of protest to Gu Ming.
Why hasn't it been summoned for so long? This baby is angry!
"Haha, I won't do it next time." Gu Ming rubbed the little zombie's head in a funny way.
Then the little zombie girl's face turned from anger to joy, and soon she was lying on the head of the Tyrannosaurus rex, laughing happily.
What a little zombie that is easily satisfied.
"It's time to consider contracting another battle pet to use as a trumpet..." Gu Ming came up with this idea.
But Liuli itself is an S-level battle pet, and the corpse ancestor's status has even reached the SSS level.
He really doesn't like the new contracted pet...
Riding the Tyrannosaurus Rex, it didn't take long for Gu Ming to arrive at the target location.
This is a place called "Death Valley", on the edge of the Lone Star City area.
On the other side of Death Valley is a main city called "Brahma City".
There are three main cities on the verge of Lone Star City, namely: Silla City, Brahma City and Wushuang City.
Silla City is the main city dominated by Bangzi players. It is separated from Lone Star City by a dark forest. Players on both sides had many frictions. Later, Gu Ming summoned an army of demon spiders to repair it. They also failed in the Troll Tribe Strategy Mission. I'm back, I'm much more stable now.
Wushuang City is also dominated by Chinese players, and their overall strength is weak. Gu Ming heard from Dan Fried Rice that many players from Wushuang City often go to Lone Star City to do missions. Players from the two main cities are in peace, and they have no competition for hegemony. In his mind, he was determined to form an alliance with Lone Star City.
The remaining Brahma City is a main city dominated by Asan players.
As the most populous country in the world, the number of players who have entered the Dawn Era is second only to China. The number of players settled in Brahma City ranks eighth.
However, their overall strength is not strong - it's not that Asan doesn't have top players like Gu Ming and Luo Yiyi, it's just that most of their expert players have joined the guilds and main cities of European and American players...
The only advantage of Brahma City may be that there are enough players.
They did not get along so harmoniously with Lone Star City and often had conflicts.
The city battle has begun, and Lone Star City will inevitably have a head-on conflict with them.
Death Valley is one of the paths connecting Lone Star City to Brahma City. Gu Ming happened to be making some arrangements first, and he would definitely surprise them later!
This is a desolate valley, filled with poisonous miasma, and bones and corpses can be seen everywhere on the ground.
In the Death Valley monster area, 20 to 30 monsters will spawn. Their warning range is still very large. It is difficult for low-level players to set foot here, so there are very few players who usually come here to spawn monsters and level up.
Gu Ming came here, chose a good place, and took out the poison ivy seeds.
"Reminder: Are you sure you want to plant it here?"
"Sure!"
Following the prompts, Gu Ming dug a small hole in the ground and buried the poison ivy seeds in it.
“You’re done planting!
Poison ivy is a mutated plant that needs the blood of monsters for irrigation in order to grow rapidly. Please collect the blood of monsters for irrigation!
Note: When you kill monsters of the Warcraft race, their blood will be automatically collected; the stronger the level of Warcraft, the stronger the poison ivy will be! "
Along with the completion prompt, a glass bottle-style icon appeared in Gu Ming's field of vision, with the label "Currently collecting 0% blood" on it.
"As long as you kill the monsters of the Warcraft race, can you collect the blood you need?"
It's somewhat similar to Liuli's health tank.
Gu Ming had long known that planting poison ivy was not that easy, and the next step was to kill the monsters of the Warcraft race.
The first thing he thought of was the demon spiders in the dark forest - although the Demon Spider Queen belongs to the animal race, the demon spiders she breeds belong to Warcraft. With the Demon Spider Crown as an artifact, Gu Ming can easily make the Demon Spider Monsters line up. Team obediently came to him and was killed by him.
But the stronger the level of the monster, the stronger the poison ivy cultivated from blood. The magic spider is only a 20+ monster, which is not powerful enough.
"Just right..."
Gu Ming opened the world map again, searched on the map, and looked at a strange area not far from Lone Star City: Headwind Ridge!
This place does not belong to any main city, but is a neutral area like the Dark Forest.
The main monster in Nifeng Ridge is the Wind Wolf.
This is a kind of Warcraft racial monster whose level is between 30 and 35.
Compared with the average player who is less than level 30 now, Nifeng Ridge is still very dangerous. Few players will go to this place. Considering the current strength, it is not a big problem to clear monsters here.
Monsters of the same level are no longer challenging for him, only killing monsters by leapfrogging levels is enough!
The most important thing is that killing Wind Wolf collects Wind Wolf blood, which can be used to cultivate poison ivy. As a storm attribute monster, Wind Wolf is also likely to drop storm attribute skills, which can be used to enchant and strengthen him. The Ancient One's combat boots at his feet.
It also provides a lot of experience for killing monsters beyond levels. Knowing that 20% of players will start city battles when they reach level 30, he also needs to level up.
Thinking of this, Gu Ming first went back to Lone Star City to prepare a wave of needed supplies, such as blood medicine, blue medicine, etc., and then rode the Tyrannosaurus Rex and started to head to Niwind Ridge. There was no need to use scrolls at this point in the journey.
On the way, he received another prompt and the system matched him for a match, but the opponent quickly chose to cancel, allowing Gu Ming to gain 10 ladder points (collecting World of Warcraft blood is not a task, so the system automatically enabled competitive matching) .
"Huh?" Gu Ming suddenly frowned as he checked his ladder ranking.
He now has 310 points, but his ranking has dropped from seventh to eighth.
"this……"
Now other players are constantly competing against each other to strive for the ladder ranking. They compete normally and their points increase rapidly. With Gu Ming's 10-point increase, of course, it is impossible to improve the ranking as easily as before.
"It's not good... if this continues, I won't fall directly out of the top 12, right?" Gu Ming couldn't help but worry.
Before the end of the season, only the top 12 players on the ladder list will receive the "Leader's Order" reward and establish their own alliance front...
But if this continues, Gu Ming will miss out on the top twelve spots because he is too strong?
Are you kidding...
"We have to find a way."
