Chapter 18 I'm Not Boasting

d and air, it's like a drop in the ocean.In just a few breaths, Lu Kong directly killed the single-horned Crimson Demon Lord before him.The expression on Lu Kong's face showed not a hint of surprise,...Lu Kong glanced at the mission introduction.

Task: Investigate the whereabouts of the imp.

Introduction: Little demons have been spotted in YinYue Village, and the village head hopes you can investigate their whereabouts.

Reward: Experience points if you win, 2 gold coins, and a [Small Skill Stone].

Everything else is fine, but it's mostly about that tiny skill stone.

Lu Kong took a look and found that it was a treasure that increased skill levels!

There's actually such a good thing

Lu Kong originally thought that skill improvement could only be done little by little on his own, but he didn't expect there to be shortcuts.

Even for just this tiny skill stone, Lu Kong would have to accept the mission.

He nodded. "No problem, it's what I should do."

The old village head smiled. "Then I'll trouble you."

Lu Konglian said it was no trouble, then bid farewell to the old village head and turned to leave the village head's courtyard.

As the land and air left, the old village chief trembled and sat back down at the entrance of the stone house.

He stared at the necklace in his hand, lost in thought.

After a long time, the old village chief sighed: "Ming, Ying, I'm sorry for both of you..."

…………

Outside the village head's courtyard.

The players who are wandering about right now are having a bit of an existential crisis.

Before the air and land forces entered the courtyard, they had been waiting to watch the play.

Even they bet on how long it would take for Lu Kong to be thrown out.

It's been almost half an hour since they went in by land and air, but they still haven't come out!

This made it somewhat difficult for them to understand.

One of the players couldn't help but say, "Didn't that kid die inside"

At this, the eyes of the others lit up.

"Very likely! Otherwise, it wouldn't explain why that kid hasn't come out yet."

"That's it, everyone else died outside. There's no reason this kid should be any different. Looks like he died inside..."

Before the player could finish his words, he saw the courtyard gate open, and Lu Kong swaggered out.

Several people stared wide-eyed, mouths agape, looking utterly astonished.

Seeing that Lu Kong was about to leave, they woke up as if from a dream and rushed over.

"Wait... no, big brother, big brother! Wait!"

Lu Kong heard the sound and turned his head to look.

He saw several players running over, their faces full of eagerness.

Lu Kong raised an eyebrow: "What's up"

One rather plump player chuckled and asked, "Brother, how did you manage to survive in there"

Lu Kong suddenly realized, these players must have seen the player who died in the village chief's courtyard. Now seeing him alive, they were a little strange.

"I'm just on a mission," Lu Kong smiled.

"Mission!"

Several people widened their eyes, their faces filled with disbelief.

They are the type of players who enjoy exploration. What they seek is to discover hidden quests in the starting village and then soar to great heights.

There are quite a few players like them.

After all, there are too many players fighting monsters outside, and the monsters are also very powerful. It's really hard and tiring to level up by fighting monsters.

A small portion of players decided to forgo the beaten path.

They are dedicated to finding hidden quests in the newbie village, aiming for a quick windfall.

Unfortunately, so far no player has actually discovered the hidden quest.

Now someone is even saying they have a mission!

This certainly shocked several players.

Their eyes were almost red.

"Big brother, what mission are you on Can you tell me about it"

The little fat boy rubbed his hands together, wearing a fawning expression.

Lukong glanced at several people and shook his head: "You guys don't even try, you can't do it."

"Huh Why"

Lu Kong laughed and said, "Can you guys defeat level 5 elite monsters"

Several players: “”

A question mark slowly emerged in their minds.

"Level 5 elite monster!"

"Hee hee, big brother, don't joke around. I'm not bragging, but even if I fight a level 3 ordinary monster, I can die for you to see!"

Land: “…This is definitely not boasting.”

He smiled and said, "The quest item drops from a level 5 elite monster. If you can't beat it, don't even think about it."

Hearing this, several players looked at each other, one by one like deflated balloons.

Especially that little fat guy, he's just exactly the same.

Lu Kong saw their dejected look and shook his head: "Instead of waiting for a mission here, why not work hard to level up This game is related to reality, wasting time is irresponsible."

After finishing, Lu Kong didn't pay attention to others' reactions and turned to leave.

He reminded them mainly because the former village head's words had provoked him.

Although I don't know how powerful a demigod is, being able to roam freely in a star sector speaks volumes. It must mean they are an incredibly awesome and powerful figure.

Even someone as powerful as him can't protect his own race, which puts immense pressure on Lu Kong.

This kind of pressure, he shouldn't have to bear it alone, right

We are all human beings, should we not help each other

Of course, Lu Kong hopes that the more powerful people there are, the better, so that their Yuanshen can be safe.

…………

After replenishing, the land and air forces left the village again.

He plans to investigate the whereabouts of the little devil.

Lu Kong didn't know where the little demon was. He asked the village head before leaving, and the village head only knew it was on the east side of the village.

Even the village head wasn't sure exactly where.

To the east of the village, it was so vast. To search for something there would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Fortunately, Lu Kong still had one clue, that being the Blood Fang they had killed before.

Xue Ya's introduction is a demonized wild wolf raised by the Demon King, Xiao Mo.

Since it's a pet, Bloodfang shouldn't be too far from its owner.

Starting from the location where Blood Fang was previously killed, the probability of finding the little demon's whereabouts will be higher.

Now that Lu Kong knows where he needs to go, naturally it's the location of Xuedia.

There are more and more players on the east side of the village.

Players who previously received access to the beta test, apparently have mostly entered the game.

In the fields, even elderly men in their sixties are struggling with large black rats.

Even children of fifteen or sixteen were bitten and cried out in pain.

There are many more players in the forest than before.

Even the mountains now have some high-end teams operating in them.

Lu Kong arrived at the pile of rocks where Xue Ya used to be.

Behind the jumble of rocks lay a range of mountains stretching as far as the eye could see.

Land and air choose to go deep into the mountains.

Along the way, Lu Kong killed demonized wolves while searching for clues about where the little devil might be.

Having donned the Bloodfang Armor and learned the art of war intent, Lu Kong's combat prowess skyrocketed.

Now, even a level 5 demonized wolf only deals two drops of blood when it attacks land and air.

He can carry four demonized wolves.

Mom no longer has to worry about me attracting too many monsters.

During combat, Lu Kong consciously used his skills.

Among them, active skills need to be used by oneself to improve, while passive skills, because they are passive, are always progressing.

That's good news.

After half an hour, Lu Kong was somewhat relieved that he had foresight.

I also bought a lot of mana potions, otherwise, I wouldn't have enough mana to level up my heavy strike.

Having crossed the two outermost peaks of a mountain range, Lu Kong arrived at a valley.

In the valley, there are many trees growing. The demonized wolves inside have already reached level five or even six.

As Lu Kong was about to charge in, he suddenly spotted a small path on the side of the mountain wall.

This path doesn't look like it was formed naturally; there are clear signs that it was man-made!

This surprised Lükong.

He raised an eyebrow and walked along the path.ions that come after.All combat skills should be legendary-level skills.To level up legendary skills to level 7, if you don't have skill stones and just rely on your own cultivation, who knows when th...
