Chapter 5: Finding Jesse
Zhenxin Town, Farm Leisure Tavern.
Ye Cang and the three of them came to the tavern and found North at a simple square table, and there was a bearded man sitting with him drinking ale.
"Uncle, we've got 100 slimes." Ye Cang got straight to the point.
"Boys, thank you, this is the reward~~Hiccup~" North burped and gave Ye Cang a silver coin.
"Congratulations on completing 'The Cause of North's Headache' and gaining 100 XP and a random normal weapon."
"Congratulations on getting the Willow Bow (ordinary)" Ye Cang received a message from the system, and there was an extra short bow in his backpack.
Willow Bow (Normal)
Category: Short bow
Required Attributes: 8 Strength.
Attack: 2-4
Similarly, Zhang Zhengxiong gets a thick iron hand axe with an attack of 2-5, while Lele gets a rough long sword with an attack of 3-4.
"You can go' Hiccup~" North looked at Ye Cang's eyes looking forward to the next step, and waved his hand impatiently.
Ye Cang and the three of them looked at the two drunks, and they probably didn't have the next task, and slowly walked out of the tavern.
"I feel a little lost," Zhang Zhengxiong looked at the starry sky.
Ye Cang nodded and shook his head, "The current currency is quite valuable and useful, just now I looked at the price of the black market, 1 copper plate has been fried to 100 federal coins (100 federal coins are equal to about 10 yuan), this task gave 1 silver coin, there is no blame on the forum for exploding money, except for slimes can occasionally produce 1 copper plate." ”
"So what now?" Lin Le asked not very understandingly.
"Let's go, I'm going to buy some arrows and go to that old grandmother's grocery store, by the way, Lele give me the long sword" Ye Cang said, took Lin Le's long sword and inserted it at his waist, and walked towards the humble grocery store with a short bow on his back and the two of them.
The three of them entered the grocery store, and the dim light of the oil lamp barely provided a view of the house.
"Brother, grandma suddenly has a task face" Zhang Zhengxiong looked at the old woman named Rika with a worried fidgeting look.
"Grandma, what's wrong?" Ye Cang nodded and said with concern, but this expression of concern did not seem to be fake.
"My grandson Jesse hasn't come back yet, I'm so scared that something will happen to him, boys, can you help me find it?" Seeing the concern in Ye Cang's eyes, Lika choked up and pleaded.
Ye Cang nodded, "Then can you sue me, where did your grandson go?" ”
"I don't know, but he said he's going to surprise me today," said the old woman, Rika, in a panic.
"He's not going to the woods to the north, woo, it's all my fault! , it's all my fault! It's me who told him that there is a mysterious ancient tree there, as long as you make a wish on it, good things will happen, Jesse and I depend on each other, if he has three long and two short, I don't want to live!。 The old woman Leka cried very sad and blamed herself, "Please, can you help me find Jesse?" Please!! ”。
The old woman's pleading was very sad, Ye Cang looked at the wrinkled face, which was full of concern and uncomfortable sleep, and a kind and kind cheek full of wrinkles appeared in his mind.
"Grandma! Grandmother! They all call me a white-haired monster, and they throw stones at me, am I really a monster? ”
"Xiao Cang, you are not a monster, you are grandma's little baby, remember, no matter what others think of you or what they say about you, you will always be grandma's most well-behaved little baby~~~"
"Grandma, I passed this test, and I also plugged in your favorite carnation, you will definitely be fine! It's going to get better! I'm going to be with my grandma forever! ”
"Xiaocang, grandma is leaving, I'm sorry, I didn't see you get married and have children, don't cry, don't cry a manly man! Grandma is old, and no one can escape from birth, old age, sickness and death, so don't be sad, little baby~"
Ye Cang stopped reminiscing, took a deep breath, his eyes were full of firmness, and said slowly, "Grandma, I will definitely help you find your grandson''
"Brother''" Zhang Zhengxiong looked at Ye Cang's face and remembered the photo of him and an old woman, "Well, leave it to us!" ”
Lin Le couldn't stop nodding.
"I need some arrows''" Ye Cang took out the coin, and Rika refused, "Take whatever you need, I just want to see Jesse as much as possible."
Ye Cang took a leather quiver, thirty arrows, put it on his back, and carried a few torches, and the fire broke the two of them hurriedly left the grocery store and looked back at the old woman Lika standing at the door, and walked towards the woods to the north.
The night is a paradise for beasts, and most of the players don't dare to go too deep into the woodland, not to mention that the level is only level 3-4, the farm is still very lively, and the edge is also in an endless stream of exploration, but the woods in the north where Ye Cang and the three of them went are quiet and abnormal.
Torches were lit and the three of them shuttled through the woods.
"Brother, do you think the ancient tree that the old man said really exists?" Zhang Zhengxiong looked around vigilantly.
"I don't know, but there are children's footprints at the place where we just entered the forest, it should be in this direction, our task is to find Jesse and bring it back to the old grandmother, and put the others down for the time being." Ye Cang carefully observed the surroundings by the firelight.
"Little White Brother, the surroundings feel so weird, a little scary to say''" Lin Le, who walked at the end, said weakly.
"Wait, there's movement!" Zhang Zhengxiong sensed something approaching.
The three of them slowly stopped, several pairs of eyes flashing with bloodshot light gradually approached, and three black-haired wild wolves appeared in the eyes of the three, half the size of the average wolf, shuddering and whispering, Ye Cang slowly pulled out his long sword, "Xiaoxiong, you contain two, Lele and I concentrate on the one on the left, and then come over to deal with you!" ”
"I know, brother''" Zhang Zhengxiong nodded without hesitation.
"Lele! Above!! Ye Cang lowered his body towards the wild wolf on the left, leaned over, Lin Le dragged the big axe to follow him, and Zhang Zhengxiong attacked head-on to block the two that pounced, one-handed axe opened one, sideways to avoid the culling of the other, did not retreat but entered the arms with a heavy punch to hit his waist, more than 50% of the additional damage prompt, a howl landed, Zhang Zhengxiong shouted, "Brother, it's the waist!" ”。
On the other side, Ye Cang avoided the killing of the wild wolf with a low sliding step, and suddenly turned sideways and slashed at his waist, Lin Le also received Zhang Zhengxiong's message, and swept it to the ground with a sweep of the weightless wild wolf in the air, Ye Cang did not relent, and walked away, holding the sword with both hands and inserting it into his head fiercely, and shouted: "Lele!" Go help Nobita!! And the sharp claws of the dying wild wolf brought a burst of blood on Ye Cang's chest.
Zhang Zhengxiong, who was somewhat outnumbered, received two claw blows and lost nearly half of his health, and the chill in his back made his heart sink, and he was already exhausted in the face of the resistance of the entanglement in the front.
"Whew!" With a wail, Zhang Zhengxiong tilted his head slightly, and from the field of vision illuminated by the torches on the ground, Yu Guang saw that the wild wolf that was flying on him was cut out of the trajectory by Lele's logging axe, and breathed a sigh of relief.
