Chapter 003 First Routine Task
Immediately turning around, wielding the long sword, he delivered another swift strike towards another little monkey.
At first, Morris merely regarded Liu Changyun as a promise keeper, but it was only after he smashed the remaining little monkey's head with a war hammer that he understood why Liu Changyun was so proactive.
After a moment of distortion, the transmission was complete. Looking at the two individuals who appeared simultaneously, Yin Changsheng could not help but scrutinize them carefully
Morris swiftly followed, hanging his shield on his back and picking up his war hammer as he went.
Three little monkeys came over swaying unsteadily, not walking on the trees, but rather walking on the path with their two feet on the ground, looking quite awkward.
"Killing comes with rewards, but are the rewards invisible to those who did not make the kill?" Yin Changsheng silently murmured to himself.
Both of them subconsciously ignored Yin Changsheng, and originally the three little monkeys should have been shared equally among the three people
As Yin Changsheng scrutinized the other party, the two individuals were also continuously assessing each other.
That is the S-level rating hanging over his head
Looking at the long path surrounded by peach trees, Yin Changsheng immediately deduced where the three of them were.
Although Yin Changsheng knew that these two had taken the reward, he did not voice it nor question them. The kills were made by them, and he had not participated. However, at this moment, a sense of crisis also arose in his heart
Hmm, our task should be to eliminate the monster known as the Ventilation Demon King, the Monkey King, right?" Morris spoke first, confirming the task while carefully observing Liu Changyun's expression
These two individuals, one is a Westerner dressed in plate armor, carrying a shield and a war hammer, easily recognizable with his blonde hair and blue eyes
If one truly followed these two individuals into this Dream Journey to the West world, it would not be a significant issue. However, the problem is that when it comes time to transition from a preparatory apostle to a formal apostle, it would likely be his demise
A small monkey is worth 10 amusement park points. Although the Dimension Amusement Park has not yet explained what amusement park points are, it is evident that they are a form of currency.
After killing the little monkey, Liu Changyun suddenly showed a joyful expression between his brows, as if he had obtained something.
Comparing the two, Yin Changsheng realized that the five-dimensional attributes of these two individuals were certainly higher than his own, especially that Westerner; if he were to wear that suit of armor, it would definitely not be as effortless as it appeared.
In the face of a young hero from the martial world and a paladin, Yin Changsheng realized that he had no advantage in terms of strength and could only disguise himself as a rustic country bumpkin to protect himself. Although he was unsure whether these two had any malicious intent, as the weaker party, Yin Changsheng instinctively chose to hide.
Currently, the location of the three of them is likely at the first level, which is the Flower and Fruit Mountain, while the Monkey King exists in the second level, the Water Curtain Cave. They must first defeat the gorilla at the first level of Flower and Fruit Mountain in order to enter the second level
But who can blame Yin Changsheng for his lack of strength, as he is just an ordinary person
Then... Morris still wanted to say something, when suddenly a few monkey calls could be heard chattering in the distance
Are there three people including me
He gained a deeper understanding of the dimensional disparity between himself and these two individuals.
Yin Changsheng actually wanted to charge forward as well, but upon seeing Liu Changyun's ethereal figure, which was difficult to discern, and Morris, who charged like a wild bull wielding a war hammer, he ultimately refrained from rushing out.
"First, let's get through the first level of Huaguoshan, and then perhaps we can take a gamble on the second level." Yin Changsheng approached the two with a silly grin, appearing harmless, yet secretly calculating how to leverage these two individuals to achieve an S-level evaluation.
Yin Changsheng is not foolish. Although his strength is weak, as a time traveler, he has undergone the baptism of an information explosion. Coupled with the previous beginner's benefits, which include the increase in treasure chest rewards, the increase in kill rewards, and the doubling of settlement rewards, it is evident that there are rewards for kills
The three of them became vigilant at the same time, especially Yin Changsheng, who pretended to be afraid and cautiously retreated behind the two, his figure somewhat curled up.
Unable to achieve an S-level rating, with enormous debts that cannot be repaid, he will face the consequences of obliteration
Morris and Liu Changyun observed Yin Changsheng's actions without saying anything. One was a righteous young hero, and the other a paladin, both of whom could barely be considered as individuals on the side of good
There is also an Eastern person dressed in a white robe, with a long sword at his waist, appearing to be a figure from the martial arts world
The two of them tacitly refrained from mentioning the matter, but they could not escape being noticed by Yin Changsheng.
"One person, one bird; whoever is left with one, quickly gives it to the other." Liu Changyun dashed forward in a single leap, his movements light as a hawk, gaining a lead of one position over Morris.
Of course, there is a slight possibility that it is directly at the Water Curtain Cave of the second level, but this possibility is rather small.
There was no explicit demand in the words and actions of the two individuals for Yin Changsheng to do anything, and it was evident that they could see that Yin Changsheng likely lacked the capability to do so
Liu Changyun and Morris were not surprised by Yin Changsheng's response; one could discern some clues from Yin Changsheng's appearance. The patched and repeatedly washed linen clothing, combined with his skin, clearly indicated that he was a farmer's son who had grown up in the countryside.
His reluctance to speak first is not due to a lack of desire, but rather the result of years of solitary living, which has significantly diminished his understanding of social interactions, leading him to primarily rely on observation.
Yin Changsheng merely smiled foolishly; through the conversation between these two individuals, he came to understand that they likely had no knowledge of what Dream of the West Journey was like in terms of its existence and structure
Killing is rewarded
Liu Changyun nodded slightly: "Indeed, however, this will require our sincere cooperation along the way; otherwise, it is likely that we will be unable to defeat the Monkey King."
Zhang San, I am a farmer. Yan Changsheng did not reveal his real name, but he truly is a farmer
It was due to a small oversight by Morris that 10 Paradise Points were lost
It is just that this expression flashed too quickly, and no one noticed it
In just three to five steps, Liu Changyun approached the little monkey's side, casually drawing the long sword from his waist. With a single move, "Gentle Breeze Sweeping the Sleeves," the sword light flashed, revealing a deep gash on the little monkey's neck, from which a large amount of blood gushed forth. Following that, with another ordinary thrust, he ended the little monkey's life.
I am Liu Changyun from the Qingfeng Sword Sect. You two should also be the prospective apostles of the Dimension Paradise.
The Westerner was also taken aback; he seemed somewhat unaccustomed and did not clasp his fists in salute. Instead, he performed a gesture that neither Yin Changsheng nor Liu Changyun could comprehend: "I am Morris Elon, a paladin of the God of Justice"
