Absolute Destiny Game

"Stop!" Xiao Jie shouted, and everyone stopped immediately.

"What's wrong?" I wanted to become an immortal asked in confusion.

Xiao Jie said in a deep voice: "There is something wrong with that big tree."

The big tree blocking the road reminded him of some stories about ancient bandits that he had read in the past.

In ancient times, when the green forest heroes were robbing escorts, they would cut down a tree and place it in the middle of the road. At this time, if the escort rashly moved the tree, a fight would be triggered.

The correct way to deal with it is to tell the incision, give your name, and then both parties negotiate a suitable 'payment'. After all, the escorts also want to live, and the robbers also want to live. As long as the price is right, they usually just spend some money to live in peace. It's over.

Of course, there are also those who do not follow the rules, or the strength gap between the two sides is too big, so there is no need to talk, and the real deal will be revealed...

At this moment, Xiao Jie thought of those Jianghu stories he had read when he was a child.

Could it be that there are bandits and robbers here in Canglin Prefecture?

You will know if you do some investigating.

Listen to the sound and identify the location!

[Distinguish location by listening to sounds (thaumaturgy)

Use: Make a Listen check to scan for nearby enemies and mark them on your minimap.

Side effects: Dark vision. You need to close your eyes to use this skill, so your screen will go black for a second when you release it.

Xiao Jie suddenly activated the thaumaturgy he learned from bats, and the screen in front of him suddenly went black, then returned to normal after a second. At the same time, many red dots suddenly appeared on the small map in the upper right corner.

Sure enough, there are ambushes, and there are quite a lot of them. If you rush over there, you will definitely encounter an ambush.

Xiao Jie then shouted, "If your friends are doing business here, you might as well mark it down."

Just look at the humanoid wild boar wandering out of the woods.

He is a fat man with an open chest and a black mane. He wears a horn helmet and carries a big axe. Behind him are several wolf soldiers, each holding a sword, acting as a follower.

Xiao Jie looked towards the wild boar's head.

Zhu Datian (Wild Boar Spirit) is level 19 and has 400 HP.

The wild boar spirit laughed and said, "Haha, brother is very sensible - I opened this mountain and planted this tree. If you want to do this - leave that little fox to me!"

Um? What's going on?

Xiao Jie couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the words of the wild boar spirit in front of him. How could this monster look like a bandit?

Unexpectedly, they followed the rules, started fighting without meeting each other, and even made cuts... although it was not very strict.

This feeling is really weird, not like a monster, but more like a human being.

However, considering that the monsters in Canglin Prefecture are all "mild-tempered and live mixed with humans," it is probably understandable.

Thoughts were running in his heart, but he said blankly: "What little fox?"

"Hmph, don't think you can hide from me, old pig. My nose is very good. I've already smelled the smell of the little fox hidden in you."

Xiao Jie was about to say a few perfunctory words when he suddenly noticed that the red dots on the mini-map were approaching them on both sides, and his heart suddenly trembled. This wild boar was clearly trying to attract attention, so that his accomplices could take action.

No more nonsense now - "Charge over! Brother Qianlong - activate the formation!"

Xiao Jie said, and the weapon was instantly replaced by the Yanyue Sword.

Hidden Dragon, don't use it. Without hesitation, he waved his spear.

General’s order—Flying Geese Formation!

Flying geese marks appeared under everyone's feet, and the speed of the entire team suddenly increased by 10%.

"I'll open the way!" Qianlong Wuyong shouted, taking the lead and rushing to the front. This kind of horse fighting is exactly what he is good at.

Xiao Jie followed closely behind, dragging his long knife directly to the ground. As he flew away, the blade dragged a burst of sparks on the ground.

Drag the knife to chop!

The wild boar spirit waved a big ax and tried to stop him.

Qianlong should not use his horse to hold a gun, but rush towards him with his gun, and accelerate suddenly as he approaches.

Pfft——-489 (235% speed damage bonus)!

This shot hit the wild boar spirit's chest. As the saying goes, all living beings are equal under the lance, this shot directly killed the wild boar spirit.

With such a pause, Xiao Jie instantly jumped over Qianlong Wuyong and rushed to the front.

Drag the knife to chop - brush!

The Yanyue Sword, which had been charged for a long time, suddenly swung out.

The big tree blocking the road was instantly chopped with one knife.

The red charging horse rushed forward and knocked the broken tree away, and the people behind him also rushed over.

The wolf soldiers waved their swords and guns and tried to stop them, but they couldn't stop them at all. They rushed out of the blocking formation as soon as they met.

At this time, the ambush monsters suddenly swarmed out of the dense forests on both sides.

"Quick, don't let them escape!"

"Chasing, chasing, chasing!"

"I knew this trick wouldn't work. Call me brother!"

Ouch!

A wolf howled, and continuous wolf howls sounded in the surrounding woods. Looking at the woods on both sides, there were so many wolf monsters chasing after them.

Some hold ice blades in their mouths and run wildly on all fours, some throw off their hind legs and run upright like humans, and some even ride horses.

This scene was indeed a bit outrageous, even a little funny, but Xiao Jie had no time to marvel.

There are hundreds of monsters in this group, and there are also elite monsters mixed in. It will be a bad idea if they are driven up and surrounded.

boom! Several big trees at the corner ahead were suddenly knocked open, and a huge black bear like a hill suddenly jumped out and blocked the road in the middle.

Xiong Po Dan (Black Bear Spirit): Level 28 BOSS. HP 2200.

"Leave me here!" The black bear spirit roared, opened a pair of bear paws, and was about to launch an offensive.

Ghost curse - blindfolded by ghosts!

Ye Luo raised his hand, and the black bear spirit's eyes suddenly went dark.

"Oh my god, I can't see, I can't see!"

While roaring, a pair of bear paws flapped wildly.

Everyone automatically went around to both sides, not daring to fight and just went around.

Looking behind me, the group of monsters has disappeared, but there are still more than a dozen giant wolves and war horses carrying the wolf monsters in hot pursuit. The leader is a huge white wolf, but this white wolf is not like other wolves. He was riding a mount like that, but instead running wildly on all fours. It happened that this guy was a human-shaped wolf demon. It was a bit funny when he ran, but his speed was not slow at all, and he gradually caught up with him.

"Speed ​​up!"

"Brother Feng, save me!"

However, Haoye Xingkong was gradually left behind. His riding skills were only entry-level, and the horse he rode was just an ordinary traveling horse. Even if he activated the formation, it would be useless.

"Use the magic talisman quickly!" Qianlong Wuyong reminded him hurriedly.

"Ah - found it!" Brush, a white light flashed, and he suddenly accelerated his speed again.

Xiao Jie thought to himself that this flat-headed brother was really well prepared for his younger brother.

However, the distance between the two sides continued to shorten.

Xiao Jie opened his backpack and wondered what the origin of this little fox was. Or just throw it out.

At this moment, a roar suddenly came from the front.

"Monster—How dare you act so arrogantly! Brother, don't worry, reinforcements are here!"

I saw a row of more than 20 elite cavalry on a hill in front of me, charging straight down the hillside.

Xiao Jie was surprised at first, and then he was happy - it was Lu Ming!

Everyone immediately breathed a sigh of relief when they saw it. On the other hand, the pursuers behind them were confused for a moment. Some turned around and ran away, some wanted to pursue again, and some were eager to try and have a chance with the cavalry.

In the blink of an eye, the group of cavalry has arrived in front of them. This group of knights has bright armor and white horses like snow. They look like elites at first glance. The more than ten cavalry in front did not say anything, bending their bows and setting arrows, whooshing like locusts. Shooting at the wolf monsters, the few wolf monsters running at the front were instantly shot to the ground.

The huge white wolf also took a few arrows, let out a wolf howl unwillingly, turned around and ran away.

A few that were slow to escape, or those that wanted to fight in close combat, were instantly killed by spears, and they were completely defeated in the blink of an eye.

This situation made Xiao Jie feel particularly familiar. On the way from Novice Village to Luoyang Town, he had encountered something like this. At that time, Qianlong Wuyong was leading the rescue team.

The group of knights killed the wolf demon, but did not pursue too much. Instead, they surrounded Xiao Jie and others.

Now that there were no enemies, Xiao Jie could finally take a closer look at these reinforcements. These knights were all NPCs, and there was no player inside. They were fully covered in armor. Not only were their bodies covered with thick armor, but even their helmets were fully covered. Cover-style, with various gorgeous animal-shaped masks.

The person leading the team wore a ferocious tiger helmet and was very imposing.

Linghu Ping (Cang Lin Xun Guan): Level 28, HP 1400.

Because he is a knight, the 1,400 should be the total health of the man and the horse.

"Thank you, brother, for the rescue!" Xiao Jie hurriedly thanked him.

"You're welcome. It's my job to subjugate demons, eradicate violence, and keep good people safe. Brother comes from Qingqiu Village, have you ever met your roommate?"

"Sorry, I did encounter a deserted village just now, but I didn't see any living people. There were only corpses in the village."

At this time, the icon of Xiao Jie's backpack suddenly flashed.

He hurriedly opened his backpack and saw an exclamation mark on the head of the little fox in the bag.

Hey, what's going on?

Xiao Jie immediately realized that this little fox should be related to Linghu Ping in front of him.

Right click to summon.

The little white fox was summoned immediately.

Unexpectedly, a burst of white mist suddenly rose from the little fox's body, and it turned into a white-haired lolita of twelve or thirteen years old. She looked very cute, almost the same as a human girl, except for a pair of pointed ears and a large The fox tail shows that she is different from humans.

"Cousin, wuwuwu, I finally see you." The little loli cried and threw herself into Linghu Ping's arms.

Xiao Jie was stunned for a moment when he saw it. Oh my God, this is actually a fox demon girl?

That's not right - it was clearly shown as a fox cub before?

Xiao Jie was confused, but Linghu Ping had already comforted the little Lolita and said with his hands, "Thank you, brother, for bringing my roommate out. I will never forget your love for saving her. If you need anything, please just ask."

As he spoke, Linghu Ping took off his tiger helmet, revealing a fox face, which actually looked a bit handsome.

The other knights also took off their helmets one after another, and nine out of ten of them had the faces of animals, including wolves, dogs, leopards, and tigers... Everyone looked at them in confusion.

Xiao Jie was really shocked now. He finally understood the uniqueness of Canglin Prefecture.

Although I had learned about it before, I knew that monsters and humans lived together in Canglin Prefecture. It was said that monsters had towns... but seeing it with my own eyes was another feeling.

Linghu Ping didn't seem to realize everyone's surprise, "Those monsters are causing trouble everywhere. This place is not safe. Let's go back to the city first."

Listening to Linghu Ping talking about monsters, Xiao Jie thought to himself, aren't you also a monster?

But he wisely didn't ask.

He called everyone to follow this strange team of cavalry.

However, just because he didn't ask, it didn't mean that everyone had this look.

Haoye Xingkong asked curiously: "Aren't you all monsters too?"

"snort!"

"Be bold!"

"That's unreasonable!"

Several snorts suddenly sounded in the team, obviously dissatisfied with such a title.

Linghu Ping also frowned slightly, but he still waved his hands to let his subordinates calm down.

"Although our faces are a little different, we are all good people. How can we call them monsters? Monsters are a bad name. I know that some of them are new to this place and probably don't understand the situation in Canglin Prefecture. But after entering the city, Don’t talk nonsense, otherwise it will cause trouble.”

people? Return a good person?

Xiao Jie was even more strange now.

"We are indeed new to this place, and we don't know much about the customs here. Can Brother Linghu explain a few things to us so as to avoid making mistakes in the future?"

"Of course, but before explaining, I would like to ask a few of you - what is a human? What is a demon?"

Xiao Jie was slightly stunned. Logically speaking, this question is easy to answer. Humans are human beings, and monsters are animals transformed into spirits. However, since the other party asked this question, there must be a different answer.

"Please enlighten me."

Linghu Ping said with emotion: "It's very simple - doing good deeds, achieving good results, respecting laws and disciplines, and observing morality are what you need to be a human being.

If someone bullies the weak, kills innocent people indiscriminately, is ruthless, and has corrupt morals, then he is a beast or a demon.

Although we are born of different races and belong to different groups, we have all read books, gone to school, studied scriptures, and know good and evil, so we are naturally human.

On the contrary, those human beings who commit murder and arson, commit all kinds of evil, and are polluted by the power of evil, do you think they are the same kind? "

I Want to Become an Immortal suddenly spoke in the team channel: "I understand - NPCs are people, monsters are monsters, humanoid monsters are also monsters, and animal NPCs are also NPCs."

Xiao Jie couldn't help but feel happy. My summary of "I Want to Become an Immortal" was quite accurate.

But it makes perfect sense in the game.

"Ah, I have learned a lesson. Just now we did judge people by their appearance. It was really rude. Please forgive me."

Seeing Xiao Jie say this, Linghu Ping also smiled, but the smile fell on a fox's face, which was somewhat inconsistent.

"Brother, I hope you understand. I didn't come up with this theory, but the teachings of Master Xiaoyue. I think back then, Canglin Prefecture was full of monsters. It's embarrassing to say that my ancestors also lived in the wilderness and did a lot of things. It is a wrong thing to lead beasts to eat people.

Fortunately, an immortal descended to the next world and taught the three volumes of the Heavenly Book to the real person Xiao Yue. The real person then gave the three volumes of the Heavenly Book to all races to educate all living beings. From then on, many birds and beasts knew the laws of good and evil, and most of them became people.

Only those wild and untamable miscreants still call themselves goblins, and today the white wolf is one of them. "

Little Loli sat in Linghu Ping's arms, listening to everyone's conversation, but her face was blank.

While talking, everyone finally walked out of the forest, and there were endless wheat fields in front of them. Some "people" with sheep heads, cow heads, and even pig heads were busy harvesting in the fields.

If it weren't for the fact that these 'people' looked so strange, they would really be just like ordinary farmers.

Even compared to the desolate scene of monsters everywhere in Fengyin State, it feels more like a peaceful world.

And in the distance of the continuous wheat fields, a town also appeared in front of everyone.

Along the way, the farmers cast curious glances.

When he got closer to the city wall, Xiao Jie noticed that the soldiers on the city wall were almost all half-human and half-animal. They clearly had human body shapes, but their faces were those of various animals, with horns and beards. animal characteristics.

Occasionally, one or two human faces can be seen, but I don't know whether these humans are real people, or whether they are fairies who have successfully cultivated and completely separated from the animal form and transformed into human beings.

Xiao Jie also noticed that these 'people' also kept a lot of domestic animals. He even saw with his own eyes a sheep-headed man driving a group of sheep to graze and wielding a shepherd's whip, which he had seen in Ginkgo Village. There is no other shepherd.

Even the title is shepherd, not goat spirit.

Xiao Jie glanced at the war horse under Linghu Ping's crotch and vaguely guessed the rules for dividing 'humans' and 'beasts'.

Those who stand up and walk, have human form, and can speak are human beings.

Those with four legs and unable to speak are beasts. As for monsters - those robbers in the wild are monsters.

If you accept this setting, it's not bad.

The key point is that these 'monsters' all have bad names, which makes Xiao Jie feel at ease.

Looking at the little loli again, Xiao Jie suddenly understood why the previous beast language technique didn't work.

Probably because the system determined that the little fox was not a beast?

But this is convenient. Since we are 'people', we can communicate and trade. It happened that I saved someone else's girl, so I looked for an opportunity to ask how to learn these three volumes of heavenly books.
