Chapter 223: The Third Card That Disappeared
Walking on the way to the ore quarry, Leah took the sign in her hand and looked left and right in the sunlight. I still can't see any specific content in it, giving people a hint of getting the next brand. Could it be that the two brands of Demachang and the Exchange are obtained, and then put together in an ingenious way, and then heated at high temperatures and coated with special leaf juice, so that the text can be displayed and the location of the brand can be known?
But there's nothing special about it. It is a wooden sign painted with brown lacquer and engraved with the words "Challenge Only" in the center of the front and back. There was nothing out of the ordinary, let alone instructions to guide the team to the next sign.
That's right, lazy tutors are so lazy. Look at this brand of lacquer, I didn't even bother to put it in the paint barrel, so I just took it and brushed it, and everything was fine. The surface texture of the wooden brand is also rough and rough, and when you look sideways, it is a piece of rough wood cut by hand, just a rectangle, and it doesn't even look like the brand.
He will calm down and do that kind of high-end and complex decryption design, and the stone can become an immortal.
"Miss Nina, are you there too?" Lily and Leah walked to the ore quarry, only to see Nina and Ellie.
"Hmm. Thank you very much. Nina thinks that the two of them will not have a big gain when they come back from the exchange. They hadn't been here long enough to do anything.
It's just that, what she didn't expect was that Lili Luo mentioned the matter of the brand at this time: "Miss Nina, Leah has already got the brand of the exchange!"
Nina, who heard the news, was obviously stunned, and asked suspiciously, "What?"
She reacted quickly, looked at Leah in surprise, and said, "Thank you! You are so amazing!" Although they did not participate in this area of the exchange, it was a good thing to get the brand! When they were in the carriage, the time to obtain it was far more than a few hours, but they got the brand so quickly. This really surprised Nina and the others.
Nina thought that there should be something more commercial in the exchange. You can ask Leah and them to ask about the specific content first. Wait for them to come before proceeding. However, when it came to the ore field, they had only just obtained the brand of the laboratory, and they had already completed the acquisition of the brand!
Speed and they go to the laboratory to fight!
Here in the laboratory, Nina and the others know about it, and it doesn't take much work. A lot of people, many squads can get the brand quickly! However, according to the inquiries of other squads, the brand here in the exchange is not so simple!
Leah and Lili, they also took a lot of effort and thought, right?
Of course, as members of the team, although Nina and the others have doubts in their hearts, they want to know how to get the sign between the two and what happened halfway, but the main content is still the content after the challenge, they should complete the challenge as soon as possible, and when it is over, it is not too late to sit down and have a good chat.
Nina took the sign from Leah and said, "We wanted to come to you about the third sign. Is there any message from the exchange for you to know where the next sign is?"
"What's next?" she repeated.
Seeing that she didn't quite understand, Nina added, "Hmm. Ivy & Kox are still looking for a sign in the ore quarry, but they haven't found it well. Also, we asked several patrol members outside, who were also unaware of the sign, saying that they had not seen any suspicious figures wandering around in recent days, or that any mentors had buried items in the area. ”
They followed the instructions of their mentor and searched for signs at four locations in Songrong Village. However, this third sign is missing from the ore field! Moreover, after asking the people around him, those patrol members do not know what the sign of this ore field challenge means!
They only said that there were signs in three other places, but it was also what they heard with those residents while patrolling the exchange, the horse farm, and the laboratory. They have absolutely no so-called brands here!
That's going to be hard. If the lazy mentor gave them the right location, then how would they find it in this area?
Dig everywhere you can in the ore field, but this information and scope is too general. There is no guidance. With such a vast area, they have to find what year and month they have to find so headlessly. Just like the sign on the horse farm, they actually put the sign on the back of the horses in the horse farm, although the position is indeed right, but they didn't expect it to be inside.
If someone hadn't suggested asking the owner of the racecourse, they would probably be rummaging through the grass in the outer ring.
"I, I heard several teams from the exchange say that they had also searched the ore yard, but they didn't find ...... for an hour or two," she said, recounting what she had heard.
When Nina heard this, she nodded and said, "It's true that this brand is not so easy to find. "They are at the same level of strength as the other squads, especially when it comes to finding signs, and they don't use force. In fact, everyone's experience and level are almost the same.
They all had difficulties, so it was impossible for Nina's team to find them all the way, and the other teams had been looking for signs that they hadn't found for an hour or two.
"Miss Nina, have you been to the laboratory, have you gotten the sign there?" asked Lilian. Before, at the exchange, she heard that a team had already obtained the brand of the laboratory, so she entered the exchange and waited for the price of the brand.
"We've been there. It's very easy to get in the lab, and Nina smiles as she says, "We want to tell you the good news, too. It's just that I didn't expect you to tell the good news first!" Nina took out the white sign from her pocket. This is the fourth card in the laboratory!
"With this sign, it's a little difficult for Aiwei to be left, and if we find it, we'll have already completed all the challenges!" Nina came to find Lyric and Leah, and it was precisely because of this. They saw that Ai Wei and the others had made no progress, and they didn't find anything, so they wanted to see how the situation was on Leah's side, and whether they needed help.
To her delight, the sign on the exchange's side has actually been won! The victory of the challenge is within reach!
"So, shall we go to Ai Wei and them now?" said Lili, asking Nina.
Facing Lili's words, Nina smiled and said, "Of course, we will have the last sign left! We walked a few dozen steps inside and we could see them. Nina said to the two attendants.
Lily and Leah follow them out of the path to the Exchange. Walked into the area of the ore field.
Through the dense jungle, the sight in front of them surprised Leah. There are many signs inserted here in the ore field, indicating the name of the place, that is, called "ore field" and "mining field", also called "excavation area" and so on, but the most obvious is a huge warning sign, it is more than ten meters high, and it is more than ten meters wide, with big red characters written on it: "Monsters are infested! Dangerous area! Pay attention to safety!"
Obviously, the impact wasn't enough, and Leah went a little further. Then I saw a huge clearing. All the trees here have been cut down, and not a single residue has been left. It's full of dazzling loess and rough stones, quicksand.
On the far right, a large brownish rock wall hangs into the ground. It is surrounded by broken rough stones, and surrounded by a rudimentary wooden fence. The fence is simply wrapped in gravel, as if to tell the practitioner that this is the area of the rock wall.
Inside the wooden fence, you can also see the only large opening directly below the rock face. It was like an entrance into it.
Scanning the surface of the rock wall, you can also see several bright red characters engraved on the top: "Warcraft warning, dangerous area!" Under this row of large characters that can be seen even five hundred meters away, what can be seen is a line of small characters hung with banners: "Unrelated students are not allowed to enter! Otherwise, they will be dealt with!" This seems to be the content put up by the academy itself.
It is also a warning to the students not to sneak into the cave to try to see what is going on inside.
In order to prevent accidents, it can be seen that the patrol officers in this area have arranged the most. First of all, at the entrance to the rock wall, the four patrol members used their bodies to stand directly in the passage of the doorway, so that some practitioners, especially curious but mischievous students, would use some means to distract them and pass through the gaps around them.
At the same time, there has been a marked increase in the number of patrols in the area. In the short time that Nina and the others walked through this area, two patrols passed through this area!
In Songrong Village, there are often academies in Youtan City, which send new students here for intensive training. They would be exercising around here, so the patrol members understood the danger inside this rock wall, and the monsters inside were very dangerous. Not only to protect the residents of Songrong Village, but also to protect the safety of students. After all, they are the weakest and have no ability to protect themselves.
Back in front of them, Ai Wei and Kox were in a pile of rubble inside the wooden fence. They crouched in front of the big sign warning the monster, obviously not showing fear, but were very engrossed in searching for items, turning around the broken stones.
"Aiwei, Nexus, are you guys making any progress?" Nina crouched in front of them and asked them.
"Soon!, I'll find it!" replied Aiwei. Although there was no progress, he had been looking for a long time, and his legs were numb, so he should have found this brand, right?
"Employer Aiwei, other teams have been here, they, they haven't found a ...... for an hour or two," Lili reminded Aiwei in a whisper to Aiwei's employer. She didn't want to discourage Aiwei's enthusiasm, but to give him some useful information.
"Is it Class 8 who said it? I can't lie to you, right? Ai Wei threw the stone aside, raised his head and looked at Lili Basket questioningly, and said. It is not impossible that Class 8 found the sign here, but deliberately deceived them with the statement that there was no brand.
"Our own classmates in Class 7 said ...... "Although she is an attendant, after a few weeks of getting along, she can still tell who is in the same class and who is the student in Class 8."
"That's right. Ai Wei threw away the stone in his hand, touched his chin and said, "Then what should we do? And if you continue to look for it, it seems to be a loss. During his exploration, he noticed that there were traces of excavations around him. That's why I judged that the other teams had already come here in advance and found the sign.
But the other teams didn't find the sign either. Are they still looking for it here?
Asking them to search the main area of this area with just one team is too annoying, isn't it? They are weak, and searching the entire area is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and if they don't find it themselves, they will cheapen the other teams. After all, their search will eliminate some useless areas, leaving enough convenience for the other teams.
The worst-case scenario, of course, is not to dig up a large area and leave it for other teams to facilitate the situation. It's that they dig to the end, and when the other teams arrive, they haven't found the sign yet! So what's the point of doing this thankless action that loses the challenge?
