No NPC I Can't Kill
Chapter 8
Cen Qisi immediately turned hostile and unceremoniously rebuked the braided man, "Lin, stop causing trouble for me. If I don't complete today's target, I'll have you pay with your life."
The braided man was unconvinced and said, "I'm just showing you a bright path!"
"Bright path?
Come on, you bunch of rebels still have the nerve to call yourselves bright paths?
You're just sending your whole family to be executed, right? "
On the other side, a burly man wearing a fur coat shouted, "Little girl, you should come to our Ming Sect!
The orthodox Persian Flame Sect!
If you join, we'll give you western specialties! "
Standing on the side, the masked woman couldn't take it anymore and said, "Can't you guys be a bit more united?
Right now, the righteous sects have twice as many people as us evil sects, and you guys are still being unreasonable here? "
"He provoked us first!"
Lan Ya looked at these people who added up to more than a hundred years old and were still arguing like children. She said awkwardly, "You guys talk first, I'll go over there and take a look!"
Once these words were said, everyone stopped at the same time.
Cen Qisi quickly grabbed Lan Ya's wrist, "Little friend, let's talk again!"
Lan Ya found that her wrist was quickly turning black and began to smoke. She pointed at her wrist incoherently and said, "It's … it's smoking!"
The system notified her that she was poisoned and her health bar was dropping at an alarming rate. She estimated that she wouldn't be able to hold on for more than a minute.
Cen Qisi looked down and laughed mischievously. "Sorry, I was too excited." He quickly gave a pill to Lan Ya. "Quickly eat this Detoxification Pill."
After Lan Ya ate it, her poisoned state was removed.
She looked at her health bar that had dropped by half with lingering fear, "Your poison is so powerful."
Cen Qisi said proudly, "No matter how strong your martial arts are, in front of us, the Five Poisons, you have to consider your own strength.
Other than using poison, we're also good at using hidden weapons and raising venomous insects. You should have heard of this saying before, the more beautiful something is, the more poisonous it is. So don't listen to that person's nonsense. What we're raising are immortal insects … "
"Wait a minute." Lan Ya interrupted him and asked, "Are you guys good at using concealed weapons?"
"That's right. The Golden Snake Awl, second only to Xiao Li's Flying Dagger on the Concealed Weapon Ranking, is the sacred object of our Five Poisons."
"You're talking as if the players can get it." Plaits mumbled.
Cen Qisi pretended not to hear him and continued, "Cough!
I don't dare to say anything else, but when it comes to using poison and hidden weapons, I, the Five Poisons, am definitely the best. "
Lan Ya noticed that, although Cen Qisi's words were a little exaggerated, none of the NPCs around him had any intention of refuting them. It seemed that he was telling the truth.
At the same time, she also remembered what Chen Xi had said before. If there were too many decent people, prices would definitely rise in the future.
After thinking for a while, she made a decision. "I want to join the Five Poisons."
Cen Qisi was overjoyed and said, "My little friend really has a good eye. From now on, you'll be a disciple of our Five Poisons."
As soon as he finished speaking, the system sent a notification.
[You have joined the sect.
[Five Poisons]
】
[Task Update: Go to the Five Poisons and talk to Pan Xiuda.
】
Then, Lan Ya was teleported to the Five Poisons.
As soon as she stepped out of the teleportation array, a cool feeling hit her in the face, and her vision became much dimmer. The air was also filled with a faint bitter smell of herbs.
The Five Poisons were located in the depths of the dense forest in southern Yunnan, close to Kunming and Dali.
It was extremely humid here, and there were towering ancient trees as thick as waists everywhere. The half-exposed roots of the trees were intertwined with each other.
The sunlight was blocked by layers of branches and leaves, so the light was not very good.
Most of the sect's buildings were open-air, and the style was unique to ethnic minorities. Although it was broad daylight, there were torches everywhere.
This place was obviously more popular than the Shifting Flower Palace. Lan Ya could see many players in dark purple clothes, barefoot, and wearing silver jewelry walking back and forth.
According to the system's notification, Lan Ya found the NPC Pan Xiuda standing under the altar.
"Rana Yamashita, welcome to the Five Poisons.
I'm the sect's Protector Pan Xiuda. "
Lan Ya greeted him very politely. "Disciple greets Protector Pan."
Pan Xiuda nodded with satisfaction. "Very good. Since you're a disciple of the Five Poisons, you should follow the teachings and practice martial arts diligently. Now, I'll teach you the sect's martial arts."
The system beeped three times in a row.
[You've received "Intermediate Five Poisons Heart Sutra", "Elementary Gu Technique", and "Intermediate Five Poisons Palm Technique" [Five Poisons Sect Disciple Uniform]]
[The system's main quest has been completed. You've received 2 gold coins, Golden Sore Medicine x5, and Soul Returning Pill x5.]
[Please explore on your own and enjoy your Jianghu!]
At this point in the game, it meant that you no longer needed to listen to the system's arrangements. You could betray the sect and go somewhere else. You could also obediently level up in the sect.
In short, as long as the conditions permit, you could do anything.
Lan Ya didn't rush to learn martial arts. Instead, she strolled around the sect. After all, this was going to be her permanent residence in the future. She had to be clear about it.
There weren't many NPCs in the sect. Other than some low-level NPCs, she only saw two NPCs with high intelligence — Pan Xiuda and He Hongyao.
Pan Xiuda was a tall and thin man. He was in charge of managing the disciples. If you wanted to leave the sect, you had to go through the procedures with him.
He Hongyao, the Vice Sect Leader, was a beautiful young woman. She was in charge of issuing sect missions.
When Lan Ya went to find her, she also accepted a sect mission.
He Hongyao said, "There are many poisonous insects in the sect. You have to prepare some insect repellent. Rana Yamashita, I have a formula here.
Gather as many herbs as you can according to the prescription.
You can also keep a few for yourself. "
Lan Ya didn't think too much about it at first. She just took it as a normal mission.
When she went to the back of the mountain, she realized that "there are many poisonous insects" wasn't an exaggeration. It was a true description.
The level 10 monster in the back of the mountain was a centipede. Its shell was dark and cold. It was half the height of a person. Just looking at it made one's scalp tingle.
The level 20 monster was a poisonous scorpion. Its two pincers were as big as a person's head. The poisonous stinger on its tail was as thick as a finger.
She didn't dare to look at the level 30 monster, but it was most likely a spider …
Seeing the insects all over the mountain, Lan Ya almost fainted on the spot. She immediately regretted it. She immediately ran back to Pan Xiuda. Holding the three secret manuals that she hadn't had time to learn, she cried, "Protector Pan, I want to leave the sect!"
She was better off dead than to have close contact with these insects.
