Chapter 3 The First Battle
The bearded uncle gave him a small package of dry food and a water bag made of unknown animal skins, and said, "Although the Heavenly Fate can survive by relying on potions, you should still bring some food to prevent accidents. Be careful along the way."
"Thank you." Huang Chao felt the uncle's kindness and sincerely thanked him.
"No need to thank you. Please rush to Isrien as soon as possible and tell them the alchemist news. Take care!"
Huang Chao carried a package, carried a wooden staff, and a cow and dog. He rushed towards Isrien in the heavy rain, one step deep and one step shallow. The Destroyer told him that as long as he followed this dirt road, he could reach Isrien in half a day.
In the camp, the Destroyer watched Huang Chao's back gradually disappear, with a solemn expression: "I hope he can arrive smoothly." Then he coughed violently, blood kept gushing out of the corners of his mouth, and his body was shaking. The two conquerors hurried forward and helped him into the tent.
Huang Chao trekked hard in the mud for half an hour, and the rain finally stopped. He was glad that there were many stones on the dirt road, which prevented him from completely sinking his feet into the mud.
With such bad road conditions, the cow and dog did not fall behind. It is such a good dog.
Huang Chao stood and looked into the distance. The path in front of him led directly to the deep valley. It is said that on the other side of the valley is Isrien City. In the game, he already knew that the road was full of rats, storm bears and fighting beasts, and fighting was inevitable.
Huang Chao took a deep breath, found a clean stone and sat down to rest, and studied the time and space foil.
He noticed that in the hollow ring of the initial interface, the progress of "0.00%" has become "0.01%" at some point, and the horizontal bar below is still "0/1000". It can be confirmed that these two represent different things.
He called out the attribute bar, which showed his low attributes, and his consciousness was concentrated on the attributes, and there was no attribute description. Huang Chao was not in a hurry. As long as he mainly added intelligence like in the game, he would soon learn the secret of the time and space foil.
The pet bar is similar to the game. Huang Chao looked at the pet bar while looking at the cows and dogs. He really couldn't understand how cows and dogs could carry so many things. In the end, he could only attribute this to the world's laws: "This world is like this, and it is reasonable to exist."
He looked at the data bar, which was similar to the game, mostly explained his own specific information. He didn't know how these things were reflected in reality, and he still needed to further study in the future. The task bar simply wrote the task description of "Warning Isrien", and there are also rewards for money and experience below.
In the equipment bar, his backpack was empty, and his weapon had a staff, which was the most basic white outfit, and his attributes were terrible. Huang Chao found that his clothes and shoes were not considered equipment. He put down his staff, and the equipment bar was cleared, and there was no staff in the items!
"This?" Huang Chao suddenly understood something. He picked up the staff again and thought to himself: "Removing it." The staff in his hand suddenly disappeared, and a staff appeared in the inventory, which occupied a square like in the game.
Huang Chao tried several times and came to the conclusion that the inventory was an unknown space. He could put the weapon in it and immediately transfer it to his hands with thoughts. He didn't know what other equipment was like, but if he killed monsters in a while, he would inevitably explode the equipment of various parts. Then he would try it.
He took out the Blood Bottle Magic Bottle from his backpack and used his mind to transfer it into the inventory. Dry food and drinking water could not be put in it. It seemed that only the props in the game could be put into the inventory. The staff was a wooden stick weighing about ten pounds. Now it was placed in the inventory without any burden. The storage space was really convenient.
Let’s look at the skill bar, which is the same as the skill bar of the mage in the game.
"It's such a game world." Huang Chao sighed, taking off his shoes to clean up the sludge.
His movements suddenly paused, remembering something that had been ignored. This pair of travel shoes was worn by him, but the problem was that he had changed into slippers when he returned to the dormitory!
Huang Chao remembered that he was very tired at that time. After waking up, he had already come to this world. But would he still change his shoes during this time travel? He looked at his clothes again and touched his pocket. All the money and campus cards were gone.
"I haven't heard of it. The time travel system will help change shoes, and what does it mean to take away my money and card?!"
In fact, this is a two-dimensional projection of Huang Chao's usual state by the space-time foil. Now that it appears in the world of Torch Light, it is just Huang Chao's virtual image and soul consciousness. So it eliminates some elements that are completely useless in this world.
He tasted the dry food given to him by the Destroyer, which tasted pretty good, high in oil and sugar, which was quite suitable for carrying in the wild, and a few pieces could meet the energy needs of the day. He drank some water and continued to sit on the stone, watching the scenery to pass the time, and occasionally looking at the screen.
Thank goodness, there are no mosquitoes in the wild here. Huang Chao felt that it had been a long time, at least more time than on the road just now. The number in the center of the circle suddenly became "0.02%. A hint of green appeared at the bottom of the circle.
Huang Chao thought: "The number of the ring can automatically grow over time, and it is estimated that it is 100% that fills the entire ring with green. It should be to accumulate some kind of energy and open the space-time channel when it reaches the full value."
He stood up and headed towards the valley. The cow dog ran forward and backward, as if the dry ground made it very happy. During this period, the cow dog kept barking, and Huang Chaogao looked at it: "Is it the cow dog the legendary dog that bites people and doesn't bark?"
A few rats appeared in front of him, gathering in a bunch of unknown what they were doing. Facing the first batch of monsters that appeared in the game, Huang Chao was quite nervous. He held the wooden stick tightly and his breathing became rapid.
The rat man also saw Huang Chao, holding a torch and other weapons, jumped towards Huang Chao.
"Okay, the speed is not as fast as me, and you can get out if you can't beat them." Huang Chao felt at ease when he saw their speed, and then quickly stepped forward to face the rat man.
The rat man is about one meter tall, covered with black and gray hair, and the key part is surrounded by several dirty rags. They reveal their sharp teeth, squeaking, saliva is left on their mouths, and red eyes emit a devouring light.
There were four rat people in total. When they were close to ten meters, Huang Chao felt his legs weak and immediately abandoned his previous plan to save mana. He said in his heart: "Magma Spear!"
Then he raised his staff uncontrollably and placed it horizontally in front of his chest. A red fire flowed out from between his hands, sweeping all the rats rushing up.
The Rat Man screamed, but it was still approaching. Huang Chao's heart sank. He had attacked several times in just a short time, but the Rat Man was not dead!
He focused on the Rat Man who was on the head. A blood strip floated above the Rat Man's head, and the other party was half blood. The appearance of the blood strip made Huang Chao's heart much more stable. The appearance of the settings in the game made him feel a sense of illusion, weakening the shock brought by the Rat Man.
The rat man had already rushed to the front, and Huang Chao took the opportunity to shoot out another magma spear. The rat man's blood volume dropped significantly, and his hair was also ignited by the flames. A fishy smell rushed into Huang Chao's nostrils with the burnt smell, making him dizzy and feel a strong sense of nausea.
"This rat man is actually carrying a chemical attack?" This is something that is not reflected in the game. Huang Chao's reaction was slower and was immediately attacked by the rat man. The rat man's rusty broken knife slashed on Huang Chao's hurriedly blocked arm.
Huang Chao screamed, gritted his teeth and swung his staff, and hit the rat man's side abdomen in the waist. The cow dog rushed up at the same time and bit the rat man hard.
These two attacks cost the Rat man the life. It snorted and fell to the ground to die. The three Rat man behind saw this scene and immediately screamed and ran backward. This was in line with the Rat man’s setting: to escape when his companion died.
Huang Chao hated this when playing games because he had to try to click the mouse to chase the scattered rat people every time, but now he is extremely grateful for this setting.
He lost a trace of his blood, and it was fine, so he aimed directly at a rat man and activated the magma spear. The red fire stream hit the rat man behind it, and it ignited a raging fire and rolled to the ground.
He chased forward a few steps, killed another rat man in the same way, and exhausted his magic. The fourth rat man ran for a while, and the "escape" time was over, and he turned back to continue fighting. Huang Chao roared and gave himself courage, rushing forward with gritted teeth, and hit the mouse man hard with his staff.
Huang Chao's weapons were better, and there were cows and dogs who helped him, and he beat the rat man to death without any suspense. His head and shoulders were hit by the rat man's torches. His head was so painful that he felt bloody when he touched it with his hands, and his shoulders were difficult to move.
Huang Chao gasped, his face full of a look of surviving disaster.
Now he was trembling all over, watching the rat man on the ground rolling in his stomach. However, he hadn't eaten anything, and he usually digested very well, and he did not vomit in the end. He had his own blood on his body, and the rat man's blood kept coming from the fishy smell like rust.
"I'm still very awesome. I didn't even vomit. What an excellent recruit." Huang Chao deliberately thought of some jokes to cheer himself up, and at the same time, he turned pale with his staff to turn the rat man's corpse.
What are you doing? Of course, it is to see if there are any money and equipment that are expensive.
