Chapter 509: Shaman Dance Harvest
The cold moonlight penetrated the dark air. Wang Zhifan walked alone in the land of dead souls in the dark night, feeling a little lost.
Half an hour has passed since he came in and drove away many ghosts with a wave of his knife.
In the past half hour, he had walked through a lot of places, but he only saw large areas of desolate ground along the way. He never encountered any ghosts who dared to approach him, nor did he encounter other NPCs or players. The ruined temple he was looking for was even more There is no shadow.
"It seems like another boring copy...Xiaohong, play a song for me."
Feeling bored, Wang Zhifan then raised his left arm and said to the super smart watch worn on his left wrist, which was the one he specially brought out from the urban planet, which contained his exclusive AI assistant Xiaohong.
"Your Excellency, Captain Qiu, I'm glad that you finally remembered me. Now I will play the classic song "The Girl Who Flying a Spaceship" for you. If you are not satisfied with the song, you can switch to it at any time."
The smart watch he was wearing immediately projected a very small light and shadow image of a little girl in red to respond to him, and then a song with the characteristics of Urban Planet Entertainment played a soulful prelude.
"Sorry, Xiaohong, I did forget you before. From now on, you can freely explore the outside world and make statistics. If you find anything worth noting, you can remind me at any time."
Wang Zhifan also felt a little embarrassed about Xiaohong's teasing. He had indeed almost forgotten about the AI running on the smart watch after he obtained it. He probably was not yet ready to have an AI with him to assist him at all times.
"There is no need to apologize, Mr. Ball Captain. It is my highest duty to carry out your instructions."
The light and shadow image of AI Xiaohong responded immediately, and then the light and shadow figure disappeared. The entire smart watch no longer emitted a trace of light, but faintly and regularly vibrated, as if it had entered a high-power operation mode.
Wang Zhifan knew that this was Xiaohong starting to use the detection function of the super smart watch to investigate the surrounding area.
As his exclusive AI, Xiaohong will never act without authorization unless he is in a life-or-death crisis. This is the reason why Xiaohong didn't even react to the outside world in the past.
"Girl! Beautiful girl! You are an angel traveling in the sea of stars..."
"I would like to fly the spaceship with you... fly through the hottest stars... fly through the vastest holes..."
"Even if we fall into a black hole, we will never be separated..."
…
With the continuous broadcast of the songs from the Urban Planet singer, Wang Zhifan continued to walk in the land of dead souls under the moonlight.
Even though the song didn't quite fit the current situation, he didn't ask to cut it. After all, he just wanted to listen to it to relieve boredom.
He continued walking like this for about ten minutes, and AI Xiaohong also played the fourth song for him, but he still didn't find anything interesting around him, and an idea came to his mind.
"Why don't you just ask a master to divine the location of the powerful ghosts, and then go directly to the door?"
As a person who always has a very clear purpose in his actions, he planned to turn on the active mode when he could not reach the target in the free search mode. Otherwise, he might as well stop and practice if he continued to waste time.
So he then took out the incense, candles and blood wood sword from the space ring one by one, preparing to practice the Great God Dance ritual brought by his identity as a divine man for the first time.
The requirements of the most basic version of this ceremony are to put an incense stick on the ground, apply ashes on the face of the divine man, and then the divine man will sing and dance to start a crazy performance, communicating the yin and yang divination to reveal information about ghosts.
However, Wang Zhifan currently has candles and blood wood swords in addition to incense, so he can choose the advanced version of Dancing Master instead of the most basic version.
The advanced version of the dance requires at least three incense sticks to be placed on the ground, and then the god dances with a magic weapon in one hand and a lit candle in the other.
There are high technical requirements during the dance. For example, the magical instruments and candles must be thrown continuously without landing on the ground. A very concentrated spirit and superb skills must be used to communicate with the heaven and earth to achieve divination.
What Wang Zhifan is most satisfied with about this advanced version is that he doesn't have to put ashes on his face, and dancing with a sword in one hand and a candle in the other is closer to a normal person, so he doesn't really look like a madman.
He took out three incense sticks from the bundle of purchased incense and held them in his hand. He then used the fireball technique of the mage's power box to ignite them, and then inserted the three incense sticks around himself to form an equilateral triangle.
He stood in the middle of the triangle formed by three incense sticks. He first took out the candle and lit it. Then he jumped and danced on the spot with the bloodwood sword in one hand and the candle in the other. At the same time, he babbling and reciting a vague and incomprehensible tune, and before starting to sing, he stood in the middle of the triangle. AI Xiaohong stopped playing the song.
He was a little uncomfortable with this weird divination ritual at first, but luckily there was no one around, so he gradually let go. Not only did he dance more and more smoothly, but he also learned to perform on his own, placing candles on the tip of the wooden sword, picking Flying candles and catching them accurately, gradually entered the state.
Being able to do this is not because he has learned it before, but because his agility attributes are far beyond ordinary people. His reaction speed, coordination and accuracy of movements are comparable to precision machinery. Even ordinary people may not be able to do this after practice. What he accomplished was completely easy for him, not even remotely difficult.
After dancing like this among the three incense sticks around him for about two minutes, Wang Zhifan felt something wonderful.
It was a very vague and special perspective, as if he suddenly opened his third eye and saw the location of the powerful ghost closest to him.
He found a total of two targets, one of which was twenty miles away to the north. It seemed to be a deserted flat land, but a strong evil energy leaked from the ground, indicating that there were very vicious ghosts underground.
The other one, more than thirty miles east-southeast, was a brightly lit house standing on a wasteland under the moonlight. The silhouette of a woman combing her hair could be vaguely seen on the window paper of the house. The scene was quite strange.
"The two fierce ghosts, according to the dungeon settings where the more dangerous the ghosts are, the greater the potential benefits, they should be able to bring me very good benefits... Then let's deal with them all and go to the north first!"
According to the principle of being close, Wang Zhifan decided to deal with the fierce ghosts in the north first and then attack the female ghosts in the southeast.
Of course, before setting off, he didn't forget to put away the three incense sticks stuck on the ground, because they had reuse value and could support him in dancing a few more times.
It had to be said that after a practice, he felt that he had made the right choice in choosing the identity of a divine man.
Although he felt a little embarrassed during the dance ritual, the divination effect on ghosts was immediate.
In particular, his current level of master dancing is still relatively elementary. There is a lot of room for improvement in the future, and he can divine more and more detailed information about ghosts and monsters.
When Wang Zhifan put away the third incense stick and extinguished it with the power of ice, the smart watch on his left wrist suddenly made an admiring little girl's voice:
"Your Excellency, Captain, the singing and dancing you performed just now are very creative and reflect your unique spiritual outlook! I have included them all in the database and recommend that they be played back to the planet for the public to play.
According to my data model calculation, there is a 43.72% probability of improving your support rate after making this song and dance public, and a 27.19% probability of maintaining your support rate..." Just listen to AI Xiaohong's talk, and propose his first plan for Wang Zhifan. A suggestion made Wang Zhifan's face darken, and he quickly shouted back to stop:
"Delete! You must delete this song and dance data! Xiaohong, you must not let others access it, you must delete it completely!"
"Okay! According to your instructions, all relevant data has been cleared!"
As soon as Xiaohong heard Wang Zhifan give such a firm order, she immediately executed it without hesitation, without even a millisecond of hesitation.
"Xiaohong, I may do this kind of thing again in the future. You should also not record data and delete all relevant information."
After the data was cleaned, Wang Zhifan was still worried and emphasized it to Xiaohong again.
This time Xiaohong also said that he would execute it, but with wisdom, he finally asked Wang Zhifan why he did this and what went wrong with this song and dance.
Wang Zhifan felt a little speechless about this. He realized that although Xiaohong was an artificial intelligence, he was not a human after all, and it was difficult to understand his personal psychology, so he gave this explanation:
"Because this dance contains high-end technology that is strictly confidential, currently only the captain has access to it, and other relevant information must not be leaked out!"
"So that's it, Mr. Ball Captain, Xiaohong will resolutely follow your instructions!"
One person and one AI communicated like this, and Wang Zhifan simultaneously launched Qinggong and rushed to the target position in the north.
With his current cultivation of the Wind and Thunder Technique, he could reach it in just one breath with all his strength, but he was not in such a hurry and went at the most conventional speed.
A situation that left him speechless immediately appeared during the journey, that is, various ghosts and monsters that had disappeared without a trace were discovered on the way, and each of them had their own tricks, so he couldn't help but give it a try.
The first ghost he destroyed was the head of a vicious man flying through the sky looking for something.
Wang Zhifan saw that the evil aura attached to it was not small, and he estimated that it was a ruthless character, so he pulled out the Qingdi Sword and used Qinggong to rush towards it and cut it down with all his strength.
As a result, he didn't expect that this man's head couldn't bear the blow at all. He was chopped into pieces with one knife and was instantly killed on the spot. Then, a text prompt from the extraordinary game appeared in front of him:
[After you kill the male head, you only need to kill the corresponding female head to get the title of "beating the mandarin ducks with a stick". 】
[Beat the mandarin ducks with a stick: You hate other people showing affection the most. When facing two opponents who are partners, the attack has a 70% probability of causing chain damage. As long as one of them is hit, the other will also suffer the same injury. 】
"Killing a ghost can unlock the title of Beating Mandarin Ducks with a Stick? The effect of this title is pretty good. It will be very useful against special opponents, but there are definitely no ghosts with female heads around me now. I will talk about it later."
Wang Zhifan temporarily gave up on obtaining this title, and went to eliminate other ghosts and monsters he encountered on the road that did not look like miscellaneous things, and received other rewards.
For example, after a ghost who was crawling fast on the ground carrying his coffin was chopped to death by him, he actually got an excellent item for him. It looked like it had good attributes, so he put it into his portable space.
【Red Coffin (Excellent)】
[Red coffins often represent joy and mourning, and so does this coffin.
When you lie in it, all your injuries and illnesses will be suppressed, and you will only die at the end of your life and cannot be killed by other means.
But injuries don’t go away, and failing to treat them quickly can quickly consume your life.
If the red coffin is damaged while lying in the coffin, your lifespan consumption rate will also increase significantly.
If the damage is serious, the injuries and illnesses suppressed by the red coffin will explode instantly and cause fatal effects. 】
In addition to this excellent item, Wang Zhifan also found two other rare equipment after killing several other ghosts, namely embroidered shoes and longevity lock.
[Embroidered shoes (rare)]
[When a woman wears this pair of shoes, her running speed can be increased by 20%, and it comes with a "charm" skill, which can temporarily confuse enemies with a spiritual attribute below 18 points to stop attacking. ]
[When a man wears this pair of shoes, he can get the "taunt" effect. All enemies with a spiritual attribute below 26 points have a strong tendency to attack the person wearing this shoe first. This effect is more obvious when the enemy's spiritual attribute is lower. ]
[Longevity lock (rare)]
[When wearing this accessory, for every year of your actual age, the physical damage you cause increases by 1%, and the physical damage you receive is reduced by 0.4%.
This equipment can increase the wearer's physical damage by up to 100% and provide 50% physical damage reduction. ]
The above one excellent and two rare items plus an unfinished title are Wang Zhifan's unexpected gains on the road.
Although the profit was not that big for him, if other players knew that he had such a harvest with just a few casual cuts, they would definitely be envious and drool.
After that, he did not find any ghosts worth attacking on the road, and rushed all the way to his destination in the north, which was the barren plain with a strong evil spirit.
The information Wang Zhifan obtained from this place during the shaman dance was relatively vague. When he arrived in person, he immediately found that the ground below it was different. There was actually a huge underground palace, and the fierce ghost he divined during the shaman dance was located in the underground palace.
And Wang Zhifan's strong perception also told him another unexpected thing, that is, he was not the only living person in this place at the moment, and a group of professionals were working together in the underground palace, most likely the so-called tomb robbers.
"Good fellow, they dare to rob even a tomb that looks evil? These NPCs are really skilled and daring...
But the fact that they chose to rob tombs in the Land of Dead Souls shows that they are not ordinary characters...
I just want to hide behind them to learn and see the methods of the elite tomb robbers in this world."
Originally, Wang Zhifan planned to sneak into the underground to fight the fierce ghosts and seize the treasure, but he suddenly changed his mind and chose to hide and follow the tomb robbers NPC in the underground palace.
The main purpose was to observe what these people would encounter in the underground palace and whether they could successfully kill the fierce ghosts underground, so that he could have a mantis catching the cicada while the oriole was behind. (End of this chapter)
