1502 The Penultimate Story (22)
"Besides, although this relic our developers are only halfway through. ”
"Didn't you run into too much danger?"
"The realm of these people is only the ninth level of Qi cultivation, and according to my judgment, when they reach the boundary line between the red circle and the orange circle, they will automatically exit. ”
"If you can't even deal with that little trouble, you're still an elite. ”
Thinking that this is just a virtual simulation space after all, it is not as dangerous as the real fairy world.
The more conservative committee member didn't say anything more.
Together with his colleagues beside him, he turned his gaze to the front of the live broadcast screen, and together with the audience of 46893269463456 and various races in the whole spirit world, he came to watch this spiritual world competition, which was a child's experience, but it was novel enough.
"Brush!"
This was the first sound Gu Zheng and Tai Shuhong heard after entering the simulated ruins.
The mist and clouds around them fluttered, wrapping around them to their left and right, blocking their vision and obscuring most of their inspiration.
This made Gu Zheng and Tai Shuhong have no choice but to use the means of diffusion of divine consciousness to conduct a preliminary exploration of the surrounding terrain.
"In my judgment, we should have entered a small garden. ”
"There's something strange about the fog here, if only it could be dispelled. ”
At the same time as Gu Zheng was talking to himself, Tai Shuhong on the side had already taken out a high-power manual blower from the storage bag and blew over the mist.
'Huhuhu......'
The clouds and mist within a range of three or four meters in front of them were instantly dispersed.
A small garden with a little gray appeared in front of them.
"Plants you've never seen before. ”
Even if it has lost the nourishment of the fairy energy, the dense roots and the branches that poke out show the lush greenery of the place before.
"So what is this little garden for?"
When Gu Zheng squatted down and picked up a withered leaf, he was ready to take a closer look......
Whoosh, a dark shadow flashed in front of his eyes.
"Be careful, there's a living thing!"
When Tai Shuhong's words fell, around the garden where they were, there were swishing sounds one after another.
Countless black shadows burst out from all corners of the garden and flew in the direction of Gu Zheng and Tai Shuhong.
"Barrier!"
"Laugh and forget the book!"
After a secret order was issued, the flying needle in Gu Zheng's hand was scattered like a rainstorm pear blossom.
"Squeak!"
"Squeak squeak!!"
Gu Zheng, who was flying with a needle, obviously felt that the needle in his hand had hit the target, and it was not just one.
In the next second, what fell to the ground proved his judgment just now.
"Is this, little hummingbird?"
"No! not really!"
Gu Zheng pressed down a bird that was still struggling and brought it to his eyes.
This bird is much smaller than the small hummingbird of the spirit world, but the beautiful colorful feathers and the crown of hair on its head show the extraordinary blood of these little birds.
The fact that these plants are still alive even though they have withered means that these birds do not need basic food to survive.
Therefore, the speculation that this is a fairy relic may be correct.
Thinking of this, Gu Zheng carefully sealed one of them and put it in the spirit beast bag that was specially placed for spirit beasts.
"I think there should be more than this kind of bird in this place, and we keep walking, they are not very aggressive. ”
Who would have thought that as soon as Gu Zheng finished saying this, a group of birds the size of a golden pheasant flew over from the depths of the garden, heading straight for Gu Zheng and Tai Shuhong.
'Whew!'
As they swooped down, a thick and pure flame spewed out of their beaks, and after a single blow, they did not fight, and lost the flock of birds with a swish.
"Bang!"
The protective shield erected by Tai Shuhong perfectly resisted this wave of attacks.
But Gu Zheng found the flaws in this group of birds from this attack.
"It's a little strange, if it's a spirit bird in the fairy world, is its attack power so weak?"
"Among the birds in our spiritual realm that have the blood of fairy birds, which one is not the place where the power of one party lies?"
"There's something quirky about this garden!"
Gu Zheng, who opened the map, swept around with his eyes closed, and picked up the corners of his mouth.
"I see!"
He didn't open his eyes, but followed a pattern, and kept crossing and walking, until he finally stopped at the edge of the garden, where there was only a touch of green.
"This is it!"
Gu Zheng's palm pressed to the ground at once, and a fist-sized stone was pulled out of the soil with a brush.
And when the stone was far away from the ground, the scene in front of them immediately dispersed, and in the next second, the true face of this garden appeared in the eyes of Gu Zheng and Tai Shuhong.
"Phantom Array!
Yes, where are Gu Zheng and Tai Shuhong in the garden at this time, when they came up, they turned out to be in a huge birdcage.
The doors of this birdcage are open.
The strange thing is that the bird in the cage is the one that Gu Zheng grabbed just now, but he didn't care about the gate.
They just diligently flew out of their nests towards the outward exit and then collected nectar in a flowery garden outside the cage.
Yes, the gardens of the fairy world have not withered.
It seems to be controlled by a self-contained environmental regulator, so that the flowers and plants here are still in full bloom.
The birds seem to have been bred in captivity, and after they have harvested honey, they hold it up with their pointed beaks and pour it into the huge honey tank in the cage.
"So it's a beehive. The honey of these hummingbirds is the harvest of our trip. ”
Scooped the edge of the honey jar with his fingers, and Gu Zheng, who put it to his mouth and tasted it gently, showed an intoxicated expression on his face.
"This is the nectar of the fairy world, a good thing!"
With just a small bite, a vigorous force actually rushed straight into his body, making the realm of the ninth layer that he had just reached actually jump up a lot.
"Quick, find a container to fill it! but not more than half of it. ”
Tai Shuhong, who took out a spoon and took a big bite on the side, asked a little puzzled: "Why, why is there half of such a good thing left?"
Gu Zheng looked at the hummingbirds all over the place, shook his head lightly and replied: "Because this is also their food, they are used to being taken away by outsiders." ”
"But if you take them all, the birds won't survive. ”
"We can't cause unnecessary trouble, we have to know how to make trade-offs. ”
That's right, Tai Shuhong nodded in agreement.
Just when they were busy filling large jars and small jars of honey, the viewers who had been watching the live broadcast outside the venue gave quite high praise to Gu Zheng's judgment.
'This young man is very wise. ’
'Some kind little brothers, powder one. ’
'Exploring the ruins requires this kind of cautious character. ’
Of course, due to the huge composition of the spirit world, there are some keyboard warriors among those who pay attention to this group of players.
"This is a capital coward, those little birds don't have any attack power at first glance, didn't this little white face catch one just now?"
'It's like, this good thing is just wasted, isn't it cheaper for the people who come behind? There is no sense of urgency in the competition......
Just when there was a quarrel on the live broadcast screen, Gu Zheng and Tai Shuhong had already packed up their things and went to the depths of the ruins.
Only a quarter of an hour after they left, a slightly embarrassed pair appeared behind them.
They didn't have Gu Zheng's cheat like laughing and forgetting books, they used brute force to break through to this small garden after noticing that something was wrong.
After a small maze inside, I walked around to the periphery of the nest.
"Look, these birds are collecting!"
The two men looked delighted, opened the door of the bird's nest and rushed in.
A person did the same action as Gu Zheng, and after feeling the benefits of honey, he began to scrape the bottom of the pot.
"Take it, take it, don't let the people behind you get ahead of you. ”
"We've got this honey, and we've finally gained something!"
It's a pity that when they just received the last layer of honey in the storage bag, they felt that the surrounding environment was quiet and a little weird.
Those chirping hummingbirds hadn't called for a long time.
When they raised their heads, they let out a scream of helplessness.
Because those figures who were busy collecting honey were all gathered around the birdcage.
Every hummingbird's eyes turned a permeable green color.
The cry in their mouths was sharpened by three points.
As soon as the two of them moved, they sent out a sonic offensive with collective screams.
This kind of sound wave that could shatter the bricks of the city wall of the fairy world instantly tore the two of them into pieces.
By the time the two men had recovered from the side effects of their headaches, they were already standing outside the ruins.
"No. 222, eliminated. ”
"Have you gained anything from the ruins?"
The two people took out the honey in their pockets in a daze, handed it over, and after getting a 10 points, they were taken to the rest of the players by the staff of the organizing committee.
The footage of the live broadcast was cut off from this time.
The audience who witnessed the whole process, after all this was over, burst out with extraordinary enthusiasm.
"Just ask those keyboard warriors in front of you who slapped their faces, and said that they took all the honey, do you see the consequences?"
That is, this is a model of bravery for recklessness, if such a person enters the ruins, I am afraid that it will not last for three seconds. ’
'Be optimistic about that pair of little brothers, there is no mistake in prudence!'
Because of this wave of heated discussions, the combination of Gu Zheng and Tai Shuhong, who was originally not very concerned, received a large wave of audience attention.
On the popular screen ratings list, they jumped from the original ranking of more than 200 to about the top 150.
On the big list data, it is ranked on the second page of the list.
So, what is this rising star duo doing now?
They walked through the small garden and came to a dense forested area.
The trees here are different from the previous flowers, and are more like a protective forest, surrounding the ruins.
It's like some old city would have built walls.
Gu Zheng guessed that the woods should be used as a protective shield here.
Well, there must be something very powerful in the depths of this forest.
But those are the questions to be paid attention to later.
Now Gu Zheng only wants to know, are the people in the fairy world so inhumane?
They actually used the relatively precious foundation fruit trees in the spirit world as ordinary forest vegetation and planted them on the periphery of the forest.
And there are no less than a hundred fruits hanging on these trees, either dried up or growing.
When you look at the fairy world, the people have never collected them.
It is fed as an ornamental forest.
This kind of fruit tree, which is carefully planted in the spiritual realm and managed and planned in a unified manner, is equivalent to a free-range state in the upper realm.
It's really distressing to watch.
However, Gu Zheng subconsciously closed his eyes again.
Are the fruits hanging from these fruit trees real?
After all, this is a simulated state, and even if the organizing committee puts reward items, it can't be so arrogant.
Sure enough, in the map constructed by Xiao Wangshu, the true face of this endless foundation fruit forest was presented.
Of the forests with at least 100 trees, only nine of the foundation building fruits are real.
But when Gu Zheng and Tai Shuhong were observing in the dark, there were more than 30 groups of contestants attracted by the smell of this fragrant fruit.
How did he gather the fruit he needed under the watchful eyes of so many people?
Among so many people, will there be anyone who, like him, has discovered the properties of these trees?
Before Gu Zheng could think about it, someone bravely tried.
Because there were many fruits in front of them just by looking at them, everyone approached these fruit trees without any nervousness, and after trying to touch them, they picked a fruit from the branch that seemed to be ripe.
Who would have thought that the originally full and watery fruit would turn into a mess of mud as soon as it fell from the branches.
'Wow'
At this moment, the groups that were still standing scattered in the woods suddenly tensed up.
Some of them still didn't believe that this was the result, and dragged the nearby fruits down one after another, and after getting the same thing, they realized that this fruit forest was not as beautiful as they thought.
"Could it be that this is just a trick, disguised as a lush foundation fruit forest?
Just when the players in the stadium were puzzled, the personnel of the organizing committee, who had been watching the process and participated in the exploration and development of this ruin, retorted softly outside the venue: "It's not." ”
"The real immortal relics, those scenes are real. ”
This is a simulated scene, and it is bound to give everyone an opportunity to compete.
At this time, a young man with quick hands inadvertently pulled a real fruit off the branch.
He stared at the fruit for a long time, which had never turned into a mud, and then quickly stuffed it into the storage bag, trying to avoid being discovered by others in this way.
It's a pity that the view of this forest is good, and everyone gets along out of mutual vigilance.
How could this small action escape so many pairs of eyes?
After he succeeded in finding a true foundation fruit, someone shouted loudly behind him.
"He got a real foundation building fruit! There are real foundation building fruits in this forest!"
Hearing this roar, Gu Zheng slapped his face with a snap.
Thousands of calculations have not been calculated, and they are cheap.
Why do you have to make useless attempts?
Well, now, the idea of waiting for everyone to leave and then picking up the leaks is not possible.
Now there is only a quick solution, and he is going to the real fruit that he has already discovered.
"Tai Shuhong, come, let's arrange a plan. ”
"Do you see the largest and roundest fruit at the top of the big tree in the direction of 30 degrees to your right?"
"Yes, the one that smells sweet carefully, it's real. ”
"Also, I'll go to the tree behind you and grab the second fruit. ”
"After getting the fruit, we quickly converged at an angle of fifteen degrees to the northeast, and there was a third fruit in the path ahead, waiting for us to collect. ”
"Once we have the hand, don't stop, we're quickly out of the warband. ”
Hearing this, Tai Shuhong raised a little question.
"Why do we need to collect three, don't we say that only one sample is enough? It's all ten points, why are we so troublesome. ”
At first glance, it is the Lord who has never worried about it.
Gu Zheng pulled his fingers and calculated an account for the other party.
"How much does a foundation fruit sell for in the market?"
“50?”
"Yes, it is equivalent to ten months of your accommodation expenses, which is equivalent to two months of living expenses for an average family. ”
"Wouldn't it be wonderful for us to collect two more and break through the realm to the foundation building period in one fell swoop?"
"Although we can apply for the Foundation Fruit through schools and other means, wouldn't it be better to exchange this reward for something more useful?"
That's right!
When Gu Zheng said this, Uncle Hong, who couldn't live, slapped his palms: "That's it!"
After Gu Zheng glanced at each other, he ran left and right one by one, and rushed towards the location of the two real fruits.
In the eyes of those contestants who entered the forest first, this is how it is reflected.
Two mysterious figures, as if they knew that they should collect them, grabbed them from a few inconspicuous trees, and fled without any hesitation.
"I'm going to go!can't let them run!!"
"They have the foundation fruit in their hands!
"No, they converged and collected a third!!"
Among the more than 30 groups of members, at least ten groups of people chased towards the location of Gu Zheng and Tai Shuhong.
The remaining twenty or so groups of people stood in place, collecting the fruits at hand even more frantically than at first.
Instead of chasing after someone else's few fruits, it's better to search this place.
They believe that most of the fruit should still be in the forest, waiting to be discovered.
If they knew that there were actually only a few real fruits in this piece, they would definitely join the pursuit.
It's a pity that the luck psychology has made Gu Zheng and Tai Shuhong's pressure plummet.
Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
