It is said that Blue Star once broke out in a nuclear war, and the surface vegetation was almost completely gone, and later it was the elves who introduced tree fruit species from the alien planet to restore Blue Star's ecology.

The Forest of the Elves is also a product of that era, a vast and boundless forest of trees and fruits covering 80% of the area of the mainland, except for some cities with the reinforced concrete buildings of the previous era, the rest of the place has long been shrouded in greenery.

There are more than 300,000 residents living in Lingnan City, and it is also a relatively large human gathering place within a radius of 100 miles.

On the western outskirts of Lingnan City, there is a vast forest of trees and fruits, belonging to a branch of the central forest, which is inhabited by hundreds of species of elves, and according to scientists, there are at least 20,000 in number.

In every elven forest, there must be a lord elves, according to the rules and regulations of harmonious coexistence with humans, humans are generally not allowed to set foot in the territory of elves unless necessary.

The first task Beichen received was to collect 100 plants of Thief Vermilion, a common herb that is very useful for healing wounds, because it is so widely distributed that they can be found on the outskirts of the northern suburbs.

"It's just that the second mission will be a little more troublesome, because Pikachu's clan is in the Elven Forest, and this kind of rat-type pokemon is too mobile. ”

A large part of the reason why Beichen chose this mission was that he wanted to enter the legendary Elven Forest and see the world.

The materials needed to be prepared in the field Beichen had already been prepared, and they were all placed in the space backpack behind him.

All the way to the north, passing through the busy streets, into the more remote outer city, the moment you step out of the city gate, Beichen is facing a sparsely populated suburb.

"It doesn't look as desolate as I imagined!" Although there are no 100 acres of fertile land in my memory, it is also full of greenery and vitality.

"The air in the suburbs is fresh!" Beichen stretched his waist and walked towards the forest path with his backpack on his back.

Poof, poof!

A group of wild bobos flew over the branches, sprinkling three or two down feathers, and Beichen suddenly felt refreshed and rejoiced.

He walked a little further, and found a green orange fruit with two radas chasing each other, squeaking and squeaking merrily.

In addition, he saw a mosquito frog basking in the sun on the edge of a crystal clear river, and its bulging belly shrank one by one, which was quite exaggerated.

Walking grass in the bushes......

A small fist stone for taking a nap in a rock pile......

What Beichen saw and heard all the way washed away his perception of this world, "It turns out that this world has really changed!"

The magpie and the oriole are gone......

The chirping of the cicadas that flourished in the summer is gone......

Animals that were once familiar are almost no longer visible, either eliminated or have evolved into new species.

"Maybe this is nature, natural selection, survival of the fittest!"

Beichen cleaned up the bits and pieces of leisure, estimated the area where the mission point was located, held the mobile phone navigation map in his left hand, and the pace under his feet began to speed up, "Steal vermilion grass, the grove in the northwest of the northern suburbs...... Behind a 100-meter boulder. ”

Beichen has some road idiots, holding his mobile phone for a long time and walking a lot of roads, he has already sweated profusely, but he still can't find the target point.

"Next time, I have to find someone who knows the way to form a partner, that will definitely save time and effort!" Beichen leaned against an "old tree" that was covered with moss and took a cool breath, "Look at this tree is so thick, at least for thousands of years!"

Touching the skin of the "dead wood", it was withered and hard, Beichen sighed: "This is almost a strengthening stone, and it is no different from a stone to say that it is a tree." ”

"Stone?" Beichen Fuzhi was heartbroken, turned over and looked at the giant tree in his eyes again, and suddenly he slapped himself casually, "This Nima is a big stone!"

Although Beichen made some detours, he still came to the designated area according to the guidance on the map, and this boulder is an important road sign.

Beichen walked behind the huge rock with his bag in his hand, peeled off the dense bushes, and a field of flowers of a large area jumped into his eyes.

According to the description on the task list, the body of the thief vermilion grass is red, and the leaf veins are silver.

Looking at the handfuls of dwarf grass in front of him, if he didn't pay attention, he would really ignore it, and sighed: "The emperor lives up to his wishes, but I have found you!" However, why are there so few stolen vermilion grasses here?"

The task list requires the number of stolen vermilion grass to be 100, but the "flower field" is full, and a group of "crooked melons and cracked dates" add up to less than ten.

I didn't expect the twists and turns of what I thought was a simple task, but Beichen still took it for granted in retrospect, "Most of the target locations marked on the map must have been patronized by other mercenaries or Taobao people, I should be regarded as picking up people's teeth now!"

Thinking of this, Beichen sighed, "Sure enough, I still have to slowly search for the stolen vermilion grass in this mountain forest." ”

The original leisure and comfort all disappeared from his face, and there was only a trace of seriousness and seriousness left, "This little thing is not difficult for me!"

At ten o'clock in the afternoon, Beichen opened a box of compressed biscuits in the shade of a tree, mixed with mineral water, and swallowed it with difficulty, which was considered to be lunch.

"It's still far from the Elven Forest, but it's almost to the border, and it's no longer a suitable environment for the growth of Thief Vermilion," Beichen woke up, the mountain forest where he was located was actually the main production area of Thief Vermilion, and he had this as he knew before.

"The easiest and most laborious choice is to follow the navigation on the mobile phone map to find it one after another, and you can always make up a hundred plants," Beichen looked at the target points of the thief vermilion grass displayed on the map in all directions with a headache, and he estimated that he would have to spend the whole day walking on this posture, "No wonder no one chooses it on the taskbar of the guild hall, it is really thankless!"

Beichen is not a person who likes to give up, and although he is very unhappy, he still decides to continue with the first mission he took after becoming a mercenary.

"Don't let me know who the bastard who posted this quest is, or I'll make him look good!" Beichen cursed as he rushed into the bushes.

At the cooking noodle shop in Xijiekou, Lingnan City, a middle-aged man wearing a chef's hat sneezed twice in succession: "Strange, I have a cold on a hot day?"

Besides, Beichen went in and out of the bushes in advance, and it took a while to pick a third of the number, but he felt that his resentment was deepening, and there was a lingering haze above his head, he kicked a bush unceremoniously, trying to use his brute strength to get out of a way, who knew that his foot was directly pierced by this foot, "Ah-"

The scream directly frightened Bobo and Flaming Sparrow, who were taking a nap nearby, fluttered and dispersed.
