Chapter 66: Ambush From Ten Sides?

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“Dream Perfume. Enhances the fighting spirit of all who smell it and enhances their mental fortitude...”

Xu Xue, who was being stared at by everyone, had no choice but to speak up.

“I see. No wonder I was completely confident and fearless when facing monsters. So it’s because of you, Xu Xue!”

A rookie nodded in realization and praised her.

“Don’t worry, Xu Xue. We’ll protect you well tonight!”

The other rookie had a fanatic look in his eyes.

“Hmph.”

Once again, Mister Bug expressed his dissatisfaction when the two rushed to respond.

However, the three male rookies did not say it out loud. If one observed carefully, they would see that most of the spoils that they had obtained over the past two days were on Xu Xue. They themselves were wearing standard equipment that was issued to the fort’s soldiers!

“If that’s the case, I’ll leave the defense of this area to you guys tonight. Remember, this place is very important. You have to guard it even if it means losing your lives!”

Ji Ye stared at Xu Xue for a few seconds with a meaningful look.

“I... I understand. We’ll definitely protect it!”

Xu Xue panicked a little when she saw Ji Ye heading inside.

Could he have guessed it?

[Charm Perfume (Starter Item)]

[Description: After spraying on the body, it will cause creatures around you to gradually develop feelings of goodwill, to the point of worship. The final effect is determined by the user’s will!]

That’s right, Xu Xue lied.

Her perfume did not enhance the mental fortitude of the people around her. It was similar to turning other creatures, including humans, into fans.

Those who liked her, idolized her, to the point of being fanatic naturally listened to her every command. Furthermore, in order to perform well in front of her, they would fight without any regard for their lives, as if they were really blessed by something!

In fact, after obtaining this perfume, Xu Xue wanted to approach Ji Ye the most.

However, ever since she obtained the perfume, Ji Ye no longer cared about the rookies’ cultivation.

She couldn’t find any chance to get close to him, not even to other old rookies. After all, the perfume needed to be continuously breathed in to be effective. She only managed to gather three new male rookies thanks to her status as a celebrity.

Otherwise, no matter how crazy they were about their idol, three normal people wouldn’t be so jealous of each other, or give her all their equipment!

...

“Take it. You know how to use this, right?”

Ji Ye returned with two items in his hand.

He handed one of the items to Li Qing. It was the Extraordinary revolver dropped by the Black Serpent!

“I haven’t used it before, but I’ll use EXP to hone my familiarity!”

Li Qing took it excitedly.

As a former scout, he definitely had special feelings for guns.

However, since this revolver only had five rounds, he definitely needed to expend EXP to familiarize himself with it.

This was also an advantage of the Land of Inheritance. As long as one had enough EXP, they could quickly grasp a technique.

Of course, such practice that involved physical objects meant that the rate of expending EXP would reach the same level as the object.

For example, Ji Ye estimated that even if Li Qing wanted to use EXP to drop an atomic bomb, he would not have enough EXP!

“Then, who knows how to play the pipa?”

Ji Ye took out another item—the most valuable item.

The Extraordinary Rank-3 Topaz Pipa was about the same level as the Black Serpent Sword, but its grade was slightly inferior.

No one answered.

After all, no male player would know how to play a classical instrument like the pipa.

As for female players, even when they were sent for extracurricular classes by their parents when they were young, they mostly learned western instruments such as the piano and violin.

Even if they wanted to learn traditional musical instruments, they mostly learned the guzheng or zither. There were really not many people who knew how to play the pipa.

“Can I try?”

To his surprise, he heard a strange female voice outside.

“A rookie?”

Hearing the voice, everyone turned their heads.

The woman who spoke was wearing a newbie costume. It was obvious that she had just walked out of the shrine.

As everyone in the village was busy preparing for the battle at night, no one noticed the newcomer.

This female newcomer had a nice voice and was about 20 years old. She had a classical scholarly aura... As for her looks, Ji Ye suspected that Twin Dragon Mount might have the ability to attract beauties.

However, Ji Ye noticed that

the woman in the starter outfit seemed to have problems with her legs. She walked with a hobble.

Although the other party was trying her best to hide it, his eyes were far sharper than most ordinary people.

“Are you sure?”

“If you take this, you’ll have to fight outside tonight!”

Ji Ye looked at the first female rookie and said.

“I can!”

The other party answered firmly.

“Alright, I’ll let you have a try!”

Ji Ye nodded and handed her the pipa.

Clang!

She placed her milky-white hands on the strings and played the pipa. The ambience seemed to freeze for a moment.

A smooth melody came from the pipa the next moment.

“Eh...”

Ji Ye didn’t say anything.

“The first note of the pipa made my heart skip a beat. I feel like exploding! Now, why do I feel a little sad...”

“I somehow feel uneasy!”

“Why do I feel like there’s someone hiding in every corner of the hut and behind every wall? It’s like they’re watching us covetously!”

The other players exclaimed in surprise.

“Yes, playing the Topaz Pipa can allow one to use sound waves as a medium to infect the surrounding people with their emotions. Is it some kind of mental attack? Besides, if one string is strummed heavily, it seems to be able to directly launch an explosive sonic attack like in the movie, Deadful Melody?”

Ji Ye, whose divine sense and soul were sufficiently strong and unaffected, roughly guessed the function of the pipa from the reactions of the others.

Most likely, the music came from a special ability of the Land of Inheritance. The other part was the extraordinary power of the pipa!

The pipa music came to a halt because the player seemed to have been shocked by the peculiarity of the pipa that seemed to be carved out of yellow jade.

“Name?”

Ji Ye stared at the female rookie who was holding the Topaz Pipa in her arms. Although she was wearing coarse linen clothes, it was difficult to conceal her classical and otherworldly aura.

“Chu Yin.”

“Was that ‘Ambush from Ten Sides’?”

“That’s not it. It’s a part of ‘Surrounded’ from ‘The Conqueror Unarms’. ‘Ambushed from Ten Sides’ was described by Liu Bang, so it wouldn’t give off such a feeling!”

“Alright, I’ll let you use this pipa tonight. Follow her (Su Nongying) to Ninth Uncle. He’ll arrange a mission for you!”
