Immortal Dao Fruits, Cards to Help Me

Chapter 12: Revenge is the best revenge!
That night, Chen Xiuxian unusually didn't browse the forums; instead, he had a dream.

I dreamt about some things that happened before I time-traveled, when I was stirring up arguments on a forum.

Because I wanted to take advantage of the Sword Hill adventure at the time, I participated in a lot of discussions on this topic.

At that time, some players said that they could subdue the female ghost through the Sword Hill adventure and thus embark on the path of the ghost.

This way, even before reaching level 10, you'll have a spirit ghost nearing level 20 assisting you in leveling up, giving you a huge advantage.

Of course, some players have also discussed the issue of the Ghost Path becoming less effective in the mid-to-late game.

Let's leave the discussion about whether to take the "early stage path" or the "late stage path" aside.

Many players are discussing how lucky they are to be in Liaodong, as they are receiving "special benefits"!
Although the game has an official backing, it certainly can't include any "crossing the line" content.

It's not like those brainwave immersion games with this wolf or that criminal.

Those are the flagship products of small, privately-owned companies.
In "The Great Thousand Worlds", there is no real "battle".

But even having a beautiful woman by your side who is completely obedient to you is still wonderful!

Not all players are aiming to be number one or become immortal in the game.

Most players need to be able to enjoy the game comfortably.

Then, the other three players from the newbie spawn area got upset and started making a scene.

The game's official team was forced to come out and explain—all birthplaces have similar "bonus encounters," but players in Liaodong were lucky and discovered them early on.

Players in other areas still need to work hard to explore the game; don't complain!
Of course, every era has its oddballs, and there are a very small number of players whose gender is ambiguous who are calling this disrespectful to "X"!
This is "insulting X", "charming X", and so on.

Unfortunately, this argument has long been rejected.

After all, the overall environment has changed.
As one player aptly put it: Stop joking around, right now it doesn't matter if you're male or female. Stability is the most important thing!

……

After having a bunch of weird dreams for most of the night, Chen Xiu woke up.

When I woke up, I found myself in a cave and then remembered what had happened the night before.

Just as he was about to look for Liu Pan'er, he saw the words written on the ground with a twig: "Take care, my lord, Pan'er is gone."

There were also wild fruits picked nearby, as well as water bags filled with mountain spring water.

The wild berries were still wet with dew, so they must have been picked before sunrise.

Her robe, which already had several holes, had been mended, washed, dried, and neatly folded and placed aside.

For a fleeting moment, Chen Xiuxian felt a pang of regret...

Chen Xiuxian checked the system notification and exclaimed, "Hey! Something's changed!"

"Ding~ You spent a wonderful night with the female ghost Liu Pan'er. You lost 16 points of health and gained 36 experience points."

Ah! No, I can tolerate the loss of vital energy. After all, humans and ghosts are different, and this stuff is harmful to the body.
But how come I can still get experience points?! And I can even cultivate with others?!
Blanch! Why didn't you say so sooner? Why didn't you say so sooner?!
Chen Xiu sat idly for a long time, sighing to himself: "Alas, I don't think I can repel ghosts by urinating anymore."

……

After paying his final respects before the domed tomb, Chen Xiuxian left Jianqiu with a touch of regret.

When you come, you need to compare the directions with those in the game, but going back is much simpler.

I wouldn't say I was an expert, but I've been there once before.

However, they also encountered some monsters along the way.

The three goblins were killed by Chen Xiuxian as easily as slicing melons and chopping vegetables.

With the empowerment of true qi, one becomes faster, taller, and stronger.

He rushed forward and, before the goblin could even raise its club, sliced ​​off its head with a single sword stroke.

The goblin's expression had just turned into a sinister grin when his head was already spinning in mid-air.

The long rainbow sword in his hand felt as if he had just swept away a willow branch; he didn't even feel anything.

Another sword pierced the face of another goblin, like a blow to a piece of leather, with the tip of the sword protruding a small section directly from the back of its head.

He kicked the corpse away, then unleashed a fiery cloud attack from below, slicing the goblin's raised arm, which was holding a club, into the air. He followed up with a rainbow bridge attack, splitting the goblin's skull open horizontally.

Chen Xiuxian watched as the bloodstain on the ground gradually turned into black soil, and couldn't help but shake his head: "No good! I was aiming for the neck, but I ended up cutting off the head. I still have to practice!"

The three goblins also dropped two white cards: [Club (White)] and [Stone (White)].

Wow! This goblin is really poor!

Therefore, players find it annoying to encounter this thing in the wild.

These things are incredibly audacious. No matter how high your level is, if you're not careful, they'll try to ambush you.

The quantity ranges from three to five to twenty or thirty!
But if you kill a few at will, the rest will scatter and flee in all directions.

The main problem is that they don't drop any loot, and they're so poor they don't even have a pair of underwear.

That's right, it's a monster! The designer didn't even give it any clothes.

Of course, no gender was assigned—monsters created through transformation have no gender.
This saves us from the classic part of rescuing the "Mining Card Saintess" who was captured by the goblins.
……

On the way back to the city, Chen Xiuxian killed six or seven more monsters, more than when he came.

The most dangerous one is a level 6 wild boar!

The saying goes, "First pig, second bear, third tiger!" Tigers won't attack people when they're not hungry, and bears won't target people unless they're with cubs or food is scarce.

But wild boars are different!

These wild boars from Northeast China have extremely bad tempers and a very strong sense of territory. They will fight any strong enemy they see, let alone humans.

Moreover, they will actively come down from the mountain to damage crops.

More people die from the tusks of wild boars than from bears and tigers!

Chen Xiuxian had also exhausted more than half of his true energy, and only by relying on the fact that the Changhong Sword in his hand was indeed a divine weapon was he able to kill the wild boar after losing blood.

If you had an axe or a short knife in your hand, you'd be in real trouble; you probably wouldn't even be able to break through their defenses!

This wild boar likes to wallow in the mud to bathe, getting covered in mud, and it also likes to scratch itself on pine trees, getting layers and layers of pine resin on itself.

Finally, his body was like wearing two layers of hard leather armor. Since he was already tough and thick-skinned, ordinary swords and blades could hardly hurt him at all!
I gained about 300 experience points along the way, which is quite good.

Chen Xiuxian arrived at the village closest to Wadang Fort and settled down temporarily.

Next, he'll need to figure out how to level up and get revenge.

I can't level up in peace until I get rid of Zhou Dong, and besides, my mind isn't clear!

But we can't kill people in broad daylight, or we'll have no place in Liaodong. Now is not the time to leave.

Chen Xiuxian kept a low profile, researching the usage and recovery speed of the Changhong True Qi.

He waited for six days! That afternoon, he finally got his wish…

He said goodbye to the old man who had asked him to stay and left him a string of cash (100 copper coins).

The old man tried to persuade him to stay, saying, "The sky looks gloomy; it might rain tonight. If you leave now, you'll get soaked!"

Chen Xiuxian laughed and said, "Haha, it's alright, the rain will help you grow taller!"

The old man was amused by him: "You're still growing?"
……

As night fell, curfew was about to begin in Wadang Town.

It started to rain, a light drizzle. This made it a little harder to see the road.

"My lord, you've had quite a bit to drink. Shall I take you home?" the bald-haired rat Deng San fawned over the fat and robust Zhou Dongzhou, the lord.

"No need! Who said I'm drunk? Who's drunk?! I'll be home in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea." With that, he opened his oil-paper umbrella, picked up a lantern, and left.

After watching Master Zhou walk away, Bald Rat Deng San loosened his belt and prepared to go home.

My relationship with Master Zhou has gotten closer lately; I've been getting a lot of free meals and drinks with him, and my waistline has even gotten bigger!
"Ah! If only we could find out where Chen Xiuxian went! That damned young master actually ran away, how ungrateful!"

"And they insist I find him! If they had listened to me and just gone for it, would that pretty boy have gotten away? Why did they have to go through with all this talk of 'mutual consent' and pretend to be some good guy?"

Just as he was muttering and cursing, he felt a cold breeze on the back of his neck.

He subconsciously reached out and touched it; it was warm and damp. Huh? Why is this rainwater so warm?

……

Master Zhou staggered to the alley entrance; his house was just twenty or thirty steps ahead.

Suddenly it seems like there's someone there?
"Who?" he asked casually.

The figure swept past him in the next instant.

Mr. Zhou saw a red light before his eyes?
A jolt went through me, and I sobered up considerably!

He turned his head to look at the person behind him, and then he felt the whole world spinning. In a daze, he saw a headless corpse standing in place, blood gushing from its cavity!

The blood spurted incredibly high!

Strangely, the headless corpse looked very familiar, and its clothes were exactly the same as his own.
His head fell to the ground, blinked twice, said "So fast!", and then fell silent.

"Ding~ You have completed the mission [Revenge (Green)] and have gained 180 experience points."

……

The next day at noon, Chen Xiuxian arrived at Wadang Fort again, looking travel-worn. He found that the soldiers at the gate looked more serious and the inspection was stricter.

However, Chen Xiuxian's Rainbow Sword was in his inventory, and he was carrying some wood and other materials that he had obtained from killing tree spirits.

Then, while waiting in line, he overheard the people next to him whispering:
"Hey, have you heard? Master Zhou in the fort is dead?"

"Who?"

"Master Zhou, Zhou Dong!"

"Ah! Zhou Tu? How did he die?"

"Who knows? They say the head was chopped off, less than twenty steps from the house. Because it rained last night, it wasn't discovered until this morning, and it was already floating in a bladder!"

A person nearby added, "That's not all! It's said that one of Zhou Tu's thugs was also beheaded last night... Now everyone's saying that a boar demon assassin infiltrated the fortress!"

The term "pig demon" is a derogatory term for the Boar-Di tribe, also known as the Wild Boar People.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiuxian couldn't help but laugh: "Huh? Holy crap! How could a pig demon be so wicked?!"

　Thank you to group member Yunmengdan for the 500-point reward. Thank you to book friends Songheng and Fengmaoer for the rewards.
