Chapter 51: The Golden Grapefruit Swamp
Following the crowd to the adventurers' union, the entire hall was already in chaos, and all the adventurers crowded at the front desk to register for tasks, and the front desk was busy and couldn't get out of it, burying their heads in hard work.
"Let's go, Pipsqueak, let's pack our things and wait at the location of the heart of the Ten Thousand Year Tree first. ”
"You want to go, you go by yourself!" Pippi pouted unhappy, Liu Ming sighed, sent Pippi back to the hotel first, paid all the money left, asked the store for a map, and rode the scorpion horse to the golden grapefruit swamp thousands of miles away.
At the current rate, it would take a day to reach the Golden Grapefruit Swamp with a normal rest.
"Drive!"
Liu Ming hurried on horseback, and many adventurers around him rode all kinds of magical beasts to catch up with Liu Ming, and raised a piece of sand on the road, blocking the view.
In just one hour, there were thousands of adventurers riding demonic beasts to surpass Liu Ming, and Liu Ming did not panic, if it was something that could be easily obtained, there was no need to issue an adventure mission, and the Qimo Country Lord could obtain it at will.
Just as Liu Ming thought, the heart of the 10,000-year-old tree is not good.
The name of the Golden Grapefruit Swamp should sound like a well-landscaped splendour, but in fact, on the contrary, the Golden Grapefruit Swamp is surrounded by gray mist all year round, which is harmless to low-strength adventurers, but to those whose strength exceeds the fourth order, it is highly poisonous.
Any strong person at the Flame Refining Level and above who inhales the gray mist will be exhausted in less than half an hour, lose consciousness and fall into the swamp, corroded by the silt.
Moreover, there are unique magical beasts in the Golden Grapefruit Swamp, Golden Grapefruit Frogmen, carnivorous species, not to mention the extremely fast speed, the mucus on the body is highly poisonous, and the skin will be corroded when people with low strength touch it.
Under this contrast, the Golden Grapefruit Swamp has become a dangerous place in the territory of Qimo, just like the Anslow Forest in the territory of the Kingdom of Dahong, and countless adventurers rush to it.
After running for five hours in a row, the scorpion horse had reached the upper limit of his physical strength, and he couldn't run anymore out of breath, so Liu Ming had to stop camping and rest, and many adventurers stopped near Liu Ming one after another and began to recuperate.
After all, there are a few adventurers who can afford to ride high-level magical beasts, and most of them are like Liu Ming, riding scorpion horses around.
"Hey, brother, do you know what the heart of the Ten Thousand Year Tree is?" asked Liu Ming, who sat next to him as he gave the adventurer on the other side of the tent a bowl of hot soup.
"It's no wonder you're not from the Kingdom of Chimo? The heart of the 10,000-year-old tree is the heart of the mutated treeman in the depths of the Golden Grapefruit Swamp, and the long-lived treeman is estimated to be at the high level of flame refining!"
"Isn't the Golden Grapefruit Swamp only for adventurers who can enter below the Flame Refinement?
"Cut! Come over and join in the fun, and see what the benefits are. Jinyu's demonic beast is not something we can deal with, I see that you are also a gray bronze person, so don't go inside to die, stay outside and wait. ”
"Oh, what's out there to pick up?" asked Liu Ming.
"For the sake of the soup, let me tell you! After the strong man inside kills and obtains the heart of the Ten Thousand Year Tree, someone will definitely rob at the door, and when the time comes, a lot of people will die, and the weapons and belongings that fall are also worth a lot of money. ”
"Otherwise, do you think that Gray Copper is here to play? Only the Qingfeng Rank, and it is still a very awesome Qingfeng Rank, is qualified to compete with Lan Yu for the Heart of the Ten Thousand Year Tree. ”
The adventurer sighed after drinking the hot soup, and told Liu Ming about the precautions of the golden grapefruit swamp, Liu Ming wrote it down, said thank you and left.
Since the danger level of Jinyu is so high, Liu Ming dispelled the idea of sneaking in, and going alone is undoubtedly to send him to death, follow behind the large army, and adapt to the situation.
When Liu Ming was planning his next plan, the people far ahead of Liu Ming had already reached the edge of the Golden Grapefruit Swamp, led by a heavily armored axeman, with a short axe pinned to his waist, standing at the entrance of the swamp and staring.
"Jibo, go in, why are you stunned?" Riding an ostrich-type demonic beast and carrying a spear, the oily-faced boy rushed to Jibo's side, jumped off the demonic beast, and encouraged Jibo to move forward.
"You go, I'll let you go first, Pinghe. Gibo pulled out half of his body, and Hirazuru smiled.
"It's better to wait for Sister Yayu to come, and I'll protect her before entering. ”
"I don't need you to be a hypocritical guard, I'm enough for Xiaohu. The woman named Yayu walked slowly on a white tiger and wiped the magic wand in her hand.
"I'm very sad to say that. Pinghepi didn't smile, Jibo ignored the people who came from behind, found a corner to recuperate, and adjusted his breath.
Pinghe and Yayu tacitly agreed not to disturb each other, and each found a place to set up a tent, and it was dark and not conducive to their own actions, and they were easily attacked by demonic beasts.
Gradually, the open space in front of the entrance was filled with tents, and adventurers who had no place had to climb the trees to rest, leaving a passage in the middle for those in need to enter the swamp.
The first batch of people were stationed to rest, and the strength of the second group of adventurers who came was reduced by half, all of them were green wind steps, and occasionally two or three blue secret steps were mixed in, seeing that the first batch of people stopped, unwilling to let go of this opportunity, and took advantage of the night to enter the golden grapefruit swamp one after another.
"Fool. Pinghe sat in the tent and cultivated, and when he heard the footsteps of many adventurers entering the Golden Grapefruit Swamp, he couldn't help but mock.
Some are sleeping, some are trespassing, and some are hurrying.
Liu Ming waited for the scorpion horse to rest enough and continued on the road, but this time it was very slow.
By the time Liu Ming arrived at the Golden Pomelo Swamp, it was already dawn, and many adventurers were teaming up on the periphery, and as for the reward of getting the Ten Thousand Year Tree Heart, it was divided equally according to their strength, which was a very normal team income.
There are also many rich young masters involved, spending money to hire adventurers to protect themselves, and go to the depths of the Golden Pomelo Swamp to fight, and the reward belongs to him.
The businessman also saw this business opportunity and took out his own antidote and healing medicine to sell and make a lot of money.
"Where there are people, there is a market, why don't I also build a treatment point to make a profit, there is no money left." Liu Ming thought to himself, find a place to sit down and collect information first.
At present, more than 100 batches of adventurers have entered the Golden Pomelo Swamp, and there must be internal information leaking out.
"Did you hear that? I went in overnight last night. ”
"I've heard about it, I've heard it, I'm all dead! Squeak, this swamp swallows people! Thousands of people went in last night, but none of them came out, if it weren't for the group of people who saw too many dead people, they wouldn't have issued a warning, and Qingfeng and below were not qualified to enter. ”
"The least valuable life is the adventurer. Someone sighed, Liu Ming's heart sank, the danger of golden pomelo was more dangerous than he imagined.
"It's a pity that when they got inside, the equipment was sucked up by the swamp, and we couldn't pick it up if we wanted to. ”
"Forget it, just wait outside, there's always something to be gained. ”
Liu Ming exhaled a sullen breath, intending to let go of this mission, and the system jumped out of the information bar.
The main quest is activated, the level is insufficient, and the name is unknown!
Requirements: Go to the deepest part of the Golden Pomelo Swamp, defeat the King of the Mangrove Tree, and obtain the fragment in the heart of the Ten Thousand Year Tree
Rewards: Skill Points*10, Quasi-Bow *1, Level Up by 3
Hint: Qingfeng Tier opens the mall and opens the backpack. After the task fails, the main quest will be locked until the next stage of the quest is opened, so please take advantage of this opportunity.
Liu Ming hadn't heard the sound of the system for a long time, if it weren't for the system, Liu Ming would have forgotten that he was the one who crossed over, and thought that his previous life was a sad dream.
"The main quest! The focus is on the fragments in the heart of the 10,000-year-old tree, what fragments?" Liu Ming bit his thumb and thought, if it is a side quest or a temporary quest, Liu Ming will lose it, and the main quest will be different.
"Meow, fight!"
Liu Ming tightened his teeth, checked the equipment on his body, and was stopped when he was about to enter the Golden Grapefruit Swamp.
"Hey, boy, what strength, you want to go into the swamp? wait outside!"
"I'll go in and die, okay! Get out of the way!" Liu Ming said with a frown, and the adventurer who blocked the path took out a sledgehammer and put it on his shoulder, looking at Liu Ming with contempt.
"If you don't have the ability, you want to enter, dying inside is no different from dying outside, at least leave the equipment behind for the benefit of us. ”
"Then you will bless us. Liu Ming didn't talk nonsense with him, he was another one who saw himself weak and wanted to take advantage, Liu Ming saw a lot along the way, but unfortunately they all failed to rob and were stripped naked and thrown on the road.
Strike!
Using the skill directly, Liu Ming shot the hammer in the adventurer's hand with an arrow, and the power was not reduced to shoot through the adventurer's calf and nail it to the ground.
The adventurer squatted down in pain, Liu Ming flashed up, kicked him in the chin, and the adventurer fell directly to the ground and fainted.
"Waste! It's going to beep here!" Liu Ming said, picking up his money bag, weighing it and letting out a cheer from the wealth fan, as he stepped into the golden pomelo with his front foot and was stopped.
