Chapter 34 Riding Saddle

After leaving the dungeon, Mengxi and Roddy chatted for a few words and then returned to the village with their soldiers.

Rody has gained a lot of experience and skill points, but he hasn't had time to distribute them.

"Let's improve our skills first."

Level 3 animal trainers have many good skills.

Wild identification: The wild nature exuding from you makes the beasts identify with you more, and the chance of recruiting beasts is +5%

Whipping: Whipping the beast, stimulating its ferocity, morale -1, attack +3, speed +2, lasts for 1 hour.

Beast Connection: Establish a connection with a beast and share 30% of the damage equally (life connection precedes)

"The bonus of whipping is very high, but the morale reduction is too damaging."

Beast Connection is also a good skill, but Roddy has military energy to protect his body, so he is not very afraid of getting hurt.

“Learning Wild Identity.”

It will definitely be played in the later stages of Beast Connection, but now, just wait a little longer.

"You learn wild identity."

"Consume 5,000 points of battle experience to upgrade the commander level."

"The commander's level has been increased: level 2 → level 3."

"You gained 1 campaign skill point."

Instead of rushing to upgrade his tactics and reconnaissance skills, Rody chose to learn new combat skills.

"Consumption of 1 campaign skill point, please choose a campaign skill."

Offensive Technique "Elementary": With the blessing of military energy, the attack power of your troops will increase by 5%.

Defense skill "Elementary": With the blessing of military energy, the defense power of your troops will increase by 5%.

Logistics Skill "Elementary": With the blessing of military energy, the movement speed of your troops will increase by 5%.

"Just increase the movement speed?"

Rody is more inclined towards logistics, but only increasing movement speed makes him hesitant.

After browsing the forum for a while, Roddy learned that movement speed includes flight speed, but has nothing to do with attack speed or spell casting speed.

"5%, including the 15% bonus from Gale Moon." After pondering for a while, Rody finally made a decision, "Learn logistics."

"You have learned the battle skill logistics "Basic". Please choose one of the following three options as a reward branch."

·Rapid march: Turn on the rapid march mode, the movement speed is +15%, lasts for 1 hour, and the cooling time is 8 hours.

·Logistics warehouse: doubles the size of your backpack.

·Logistics management: Food consumption -15%.

Of these three options, Roddy first excluded the logistics warehouse. The backpack provided by the system is enough for the time being.

"Food consumption -15%."

This attribute may seem a bit inconspicuous, but the weekly maintenance cost of a griffon is 10 units of food, which is equivalent to a small team of level 1 soldiers.

The maintenance cost of the Dire Bear is the same as that of the Gryphon.

You can't recruit high-level soldiers just because you want to. The key is that you have to be able to support them.

Logistics management is definitely a late-stage magic skill, and the more soldiers you have, the more powerful this reward branch will be.

But the rush march is not bad at all. Three hours of rush march every day, the speed is full, it is very satisfying to think about it.

"Why is it so hard to choose!"

For a moment, Rody found it difficult to make a decision.

After searching a lot of information and consulting customer service for a while, Roddy learned that the branch rewards of campaign skills will appear randomly in subsequent upgrades.

In this case, later branches can be selected later.

"I choose a forced march."

There is no shortage of food in the early stage, and the rapid march will improve the team even more.

After clicking the campaign branch, Rody still has more than 3,000 combat experience at his disposal.

"Two options, upgrade the gryphon or dire bear by 1 level, and bring Xiao Hei to level 5."

Xiaohei is a hound that learned a keen sense of smell when he was upgraded. He was lucky enough to survive the successive battles.

At this time, the combat level has reached level 3.

Rody is very curious about what changes will happen after the arms reach level 5.

However, with these experiences, upgrading Tier 3 soldiers will yield higher benefits.

Just when he was hesitating, Hai Dafu suddenly sent a message.

"Brother Luo, the task you entrusted has been completed."

With that said, Hai Dafu sent a screenshot, which was a drawing of Chocobo and a treasure.

"People are on their way back now and are expected to return to the village before noon tomorrow."

"Okay, thank you, Boss Hai."

The entrusted task was successfully completed, and Rody was very satisfied. According to the agreement, in addition to the deposit of 500 gold coins, he also needed to pay 500 gold coins.

"Brother, I recently got a batch of good stuff here, would you like to come over and take a look?"

The Beast Soldiers that Hai Dafu was entrusted to acquire last time seemed to have yielded little results.

However, Hai Dafu had just purchased a batch of good goods with a loan and was trying his best to recommend his products to Rody.

"They are all good things. There must be something you want."

"The price is negotiable. We are old friends. I will give you a 10% discount."

Seeing Hai Dafu's enthusiasm, Roddy also became a little curious, "Let's go and have a look."

Arriving at Hai Dafu's store, a large number of players have been pouring into Hepan Village recently. At this time, many people were gathering at the door of this small store.

Roddy actually waited in line for a while before entering the store.

As soon as Hai Dafu saw him, he immediately greeted him enthusiastically, "Brother Luo, you are here."

"Take a look, they are all new arrivals, I guarantee you will be satisfied."

The quantity and variety of the goods that Hai Dafu brought in were quite large, and Rody happened to have a piece of junk on hand that he couldn't use, so it was useless to hold it.

"Boss Hai, do you accept this thing?" Roddy took out the Doom Gaze.

Hai Dafu looked at the properties of Doom Gaze and frowned immediately.

"This piece of equipment..." After pondering for a while, Hai Dafu finally made a price, "500 gold coins, I'll take it."

Not to mention Hai Dafu, even Rody couldn't see any use for this piece of equipment.

Maybe there are specific professions that can use this kind of thing. Anyway, for most people, Doom Gaze is a piece of equipment that harms others but does not benefit oneself.

"Forget it for 500 gold coins."

If you don't miss this little money, you can just lose the warehouse.

Hai Dafu has been in the gaming industry for many years and has an absolutely ruthless eye. In the batch of goods he purchased, several items made Roddy very excited.

However, the price of this guy is also really low.

He dared to sell a +5 life dragon blood ring for 3,000 gold coins. He was so poor that he was crazy.

Rody had a stern look on his face, after looking at all the products in Hai Dafu's store, he almost couldn't help but curse.

Black, so damn dark.

Hai Dafu followed him for a while with a smile on his face. Seeing that he had no desire to shop, he prepared to greet other customers.

At this moment, Rody suddenly saw a very interesting piece of equipment.

Riding Saddle: Level 1 treasure, standard saddle mass-produced by Knight Academy, skill riding.

This is a treasure similar to a saddle, without any attribute bonus, and only has a riding skill.

The price is not particularly expensive, 1500 gold coins.

Rody guessed that Hai Dafu's purchase price for a level 1 treasure would never exceed 500 gold coins.

but.

"Boss Hai, I want this saddle."

"Okay, I'll give you a 10% discount, 1,350 gold coins." Seeing the opening, Hai Dafu immediately changed his face and put on a smile again.

What a qualified profiteer. Roddy shook his head secretly, paid the money, took the saddle and left the store.

1,350 gold coins, plus tomorrow's 500 gold coins, the money bag that was just bulging suddenly became deflated again.

This money is really not enough to spend.

Arriving at a forest outside the village, Rody called out the griffon.

"Allocate 1400 combat experience points to the griffin, and the griffin's combat level is increased: level 2 → level 3." (2000*0.7)

"The gryphon has learned a new combat skill, cluster bombing."

【Cluster bombing】: Carry out continuous dive bombing on a locked area.

Note: This skill can only be used if there are at least three companions in the team who have mastered cluster bombing.

"Allocate 1,400 combat experience points to the Dire Bear. The Dire Bear's combat level is increased: Level 2→Level 3."

"The Dire Bear has learned a new combat skill, Heavy Attack Mastery."

"This skill?"

Cluster bombing is definitely a good skill, but it requires three griffins to learn it together before it can be used. This will have to wait until the year of the monkey.

However, after the griffin reached level 3, its size suddenly increased and its various attributes also improved.

The huge figure that originally stood upright and was nearly two people tall was now close to three people.

The majestic and mighty golden wings reflect the bright golden light under the sunlight.

"It's so beautiful."

The gryphon is a unit that, no matter what else, is extremely attractive in appearance alone. Coupled with its extremely ferocious combat power, it has the huge advantage of being able to fly.

in addition.

Rody put the riding saddle he had just bought on the griffin.

A saddle-like seat immediately appeared on the griffin's back, and a white neck protector like a collar appeared on its neck, with a rein attached.

Roddy was so happy when he saw that he was hunting, he immediately left the warg behind and mounted the griffin.

"take off!"

After receiving the order, the gryphon slammed its feet on the ground, flapped its huge wings vigorously a few times, and quickly rose into the sky.

“It’s really cool to be able to ride!”

It turns out that griffin riding can be accomplished entirely with equipment, and there is no need to go to the capital to learn skills.

"Ouch!" Roddy couldn't help but get excited, and there was a burst of ghostly cries and howls in the air.

"Emergency march!"

Roddy didn't know where he was going to fly, so he just started flying and the flight was over.

Xiong Da looked at Roddy flying further and further away, dumbfounded for a while, "Boss Roddy, wait for me, boss!"

"Where are you going, wait for me!"

Rody was so excited that he completely forgot about his younger brother underground. Fortunately, he was only excited for a short while and quickly returned to his senses.

"Stop, stop, go back quickly."

It was so fast. It was great to be able to fly. In just such a short while, Roddy almost lost sight of the bear and the warg.

————————

"When...when...when..."

After having fun riding the gryphon for a while, Rody was about to return to the village when he suddenly heard a rapid ringing of bells.

"Something happened in the village?"

He hurried back to the village. At this time, many players were attracted by the sound of the bell and came to the village square.

"The village chief is here."

"Who was ringing the bell just now?"

"There must be something urgent, right?"

The village chief and a group of soldiers stood in the center of the square, looking serious.

When a large number of players gathered around the square, the village chief finally spoke and revealed the reason for summoning everyone.

It turned out to be the Jackal Valley near the village, but no one had been able to capture it, which made the village chief a little anxious.

Something important seemed to have happened in the village recently. The village chief had no choice but to sound the alarm and summon the adventurers in the village.

"Fellow warriors, the Jackal camp is too close to the riverside village."

"This is bad, this is very bad."

The village chief emphasized the threat the jackal camp posed to the village, "I hope everyone can work together to wipe out this group of jackals before tomorrow."

Although I don’t know why I am so anxious, the village chief added more rewards for this task.

He also specifically stated that he would give additional rewards to anyone who could kill the jackal leader and bring back his head.

This jackal camp has already wiped out many players. This time, the village chief took the lead and summoned a large number of players to attack this wild settlement. The players present responded one after another.

The strength of the jackals is actually not too strong.

It's just that the terrain of the Jackal Valley is too dangerous.

This is a circular valley surrounded by mountains and with only one long and narrow passage.

The Jackals built a checkpoint at the very back of the entrance, and a large group of Jackal shooters were guarding it, making it very difficult.

In addition, there are tunnels dug by jackals in the valley. Jackals will emerge from the tunnels at any time and sneak around to make a surprise attack.

Ordinary players in the past really had nothing to do with these jackals.

Therefore, this wild settlement has not been conquered by the players for so many days.

"The key to this mission is not to break through the Jackal camp."

Rody took a look at the tasks issued by the village.

"Destroy the Gnolls"

Break through the gnoll camp and eliminate the gnoll leader Bloodfang.

Mission rewards: magic book, reputation in Riverside Village, additional rewards.

"The goal of the mission is to kill the jackal leader. The village chief's additional reward is also the head of the jackal leader."

That being the case.

Roddy looked at this task and secretly had an idea.

He had just obtained a flying mount and could easily fly over the mountains and enter the Jackal Valley.

Maybe he can take advantage of the players being gathered to attack the level.

Rody took a look at the cloak he had just obtained.

[Mist of trickery]: Releases a fog of trickery, making all surrounding companions invisible for 15 minutes, 3 times a day. After entering combat, the invisibility status disappears.

The fog of trickery can release group invisibility three times a day, lasting 45 minutes.

In the general lack of concealment breaking in the early stage, this cloak is definitely an "artifact". As long as it is used well, Roddy can use it to create many incredible tactics.

"That's it!"

Rody glanced at the players around him. The village chief made a lot of noise this time, attracting many players.

At this time, some people were already calling for friends to form a team to attack the Jackal Valley.

Roddy didn't waste any time and went straight out of the village, handed the warg to the bear, and quickly headed towards the Jackal Valley.

In fact, he saw Mengxi in the square.

It's just that this operation is not suitable for teaming up with other people.

The Jackal Valley is very close to the riverside villages and towns. In less than half an hour, Rody arrived outside the valley. Before other players arrived, he flew directly into the valley on a gryphon.

The interior of the valley is very empty. In the center, there is a huge and chaotic camp, where the jackals are entrenched.

After Rody flew into the valley, he asked the griffin to bring Xiong Da in.

At this point, his plan has been half successful.
Chapter completed!
