Mrs. Top's new mission is for them to go to the Dark Forest to find strange boulders, because there have been reports of strange traces from elves lately, and everyone is a little worried, and after probing, they find out that it may be related to some boulders that have suddenly appeared in the forest.

Wu Xiao thought it was a reconnaissance mission, but Bo Lan said that he felt that this mission still had to fight monsters.

When a moss-covered pale boulder staggered from the ground and stood upright, Wu Xiao's smile was a little stiff.

"Bang! - "The unexpectedly fast movement made it impossible for Wu Xiao to react.

I'm going to die!

The imaginary pain did not fall, Wu Xiao slightly subconsciously removed the hand covering his eyes, and found that a transparent black shield appeared in front of him, just like Alice Ann had used.

Wave Lan withdrew the staff standing in front of Wu Xiao and breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately pulled Wu Xiao up and took a step back: "Be careful! This monster has a very high attack power! ”

Wu Xiao subconsciously followed the waves and retreated, reacted in a moment, and immediately threw a dark bullet, neatly dismantled and formed a cage, and then slashed.

Aside from its unexpectedly high agility and high attack power, this megalill isn't much of a problem. The sudden appearance of the shield made them even more confused.

Waves found it just in time: "Your flower, the one Mrs. Tops gave you, is gone." ”

"Did you see what just happened?" Wu Xiao touched his ears, and it was empty.

"As soon as we got close to probe the boulder, it transformed, and then it started attacking you, and suddenly this one appeared in front of us." Wave Lan pointed to the protective shield in front of him, "It seems to have been released from you." ”

Wu Xiao groaned slightly, and opened the character panel to take a closer look.

Sure enough, there is an extra BUFF symbol under her avatar, which reads: Fredrica's Guardian, protect you from the fatal blow of death. （HP：785/5000）

"Hiss......" Wu Xiao couldn't help but gasp.

"What's wrong?" Waves don't have this BUFF, so naturally they don't know what it means.

"Just now, the boulder monster knocked out more than 4,000 blood. Probably because the damage is too high, the effect of this flower is triggered. Wu Xiao was a little embarrassed, if it weren't for Mrs. Top's gift, they would definitely die. Now she is level 11 and wave level 13, but there is no novice protection.

"So much?" Wave Lan was a little surprised, "Impossible, you and I don't have more than 1,000 blood, isn't that death?" ”

Wu Xiao glanced at his blood volume of more than 800 waves and more than 900 but less than 1,000, indeed, even if the meeting kill just now is considered an AOE range damage, it is more than 2,000 on average, it is really a series of meeting death.

I don't know how the game's defense is calculated, but they can't withstand the next damage anyway.

He confirmed the level of the monster with Bolan, and sure enough, it was 12 suitable for their level, which was not outrageous.

What to do?

Wu Xiao bit her lower lip and watched as Wave groped around the corpse of the giant stone monster, carefully considering how to solve it.

It was impossible to abandon the mission, and for now, the best thing to do was to go and ask Mrs. Tops for some more Fridrica flowers. But if you think about it, it's impossible, and she doesn't think there will be such a thing as a greeting gift everywhere.

Then it seems that the only way to solve it is ......

Create your own shield to withstand this blow!

Wu Xiao made up his mind, his momentum was awe-inspiring, and his eyes crossed the waves to look at another pale boulder not far away.

These megaliths are actually quite interesting, and they won't trigger their hatred if they don't get closer. Once it's close enough, it will instantly change from a yellow monster to a red monster, and directly deal you a fatal blow.

Wave Lan felt something, picked up the drop of the boulder monster and looked at Wu Xiao, and suddenly became a little cautious: "If you feel that your mental strength can't bear it, don't force yourself." ”

"Huh?" Wu Xiao was eager to try, and calmed down when he heard this.

Indeed, although she has broken through, and the exploration and application of several techniques tonight are also smooth, but can she withstand it? Could it be that it will progress too fast?

Wu Xiao closed her eyes, took a few deep breaths, and quietly felt the ups and downs and stretches of her spirit. There is a faint tingling pain, probably from overwork.

"I'm fine, at least solve this task and then rest, isn't it just a matter of hitting five?"

"Then be careful." Wave nodded, not forcing her.

Wu Xiao was actually a little nervous, but when she threw a dark bomb in the direction of the empty object and was about to start the test, she immediately disbanded the dark bomb.

The waves, who were always paying attention to her, also became nervous: "What's wrong?" ”

"It's too slow." Wu Xiao rubbed the staff in his hand and resolutely gave up the tried and tested method before, "I'll try to form it directly." ”

Directly condensing the shield sounds like the most effective way, but it's also a very difficult way.

Wu Xiao had also tried before, but the perception of the dark elements around his body was the same as the perception of the environment by his own mental power, vague and incomparable, and the scope was extremely small. Thankfully, this distance is sufficient.

She closed her eyes again, tried to solidify her spirit, and felt everything around her body earnestly and almost reverently—her own breath, the beating of her heart, the gentle blowing of the night breeze, the smell of earth and forest, the dark elements everywhere around her, as kind and gentle as ever, like a mother's embrace.

As he breathed, the dark elements around Wu Xiao's body began to ripple gradually, and they fainted out in a regular circle.

Waves sat on the body of the dead megalith, unsurprising. The three players in front of him are really very talented in this area, whether it is the understanding and use of elements, or the efficient exploration and mastery of spiritual power, maybe the breakthrough is not too early, but in some sense, maybe it can really be praised as a genius.

Wu Xiao didn't have time to think about what Waves thought of her, she only felt that she was becoming more and more comfortable in the environment of the dark elements, and those formless and substantial dark elements seemed to be gradually controllable.

Just like the skills she could connect with herself, the dark elements that surrounded her body gradually developed some kind of inexplicable connection with her under her perception and affinity, and became able to control it.

As soon as the spirit condensed, the rippling dark elements were compressed and condensed, and unlike the release skill, the dense and nearby dark elements that could be contacted were all gathered by the fog to a thin layer in front of him. A thin, tight protective film appeared half a meter in front of her, different from that of Arisian or Fricarica, small and weak, but strong and unyielding.

But maintaining such a thin layer made Wu Xiao feel quite difficult, and she hurriedly shouted to the waves: "You quickly throw something over." ”

Wave obediently threw a stone over.

"Boom." It's the sound of stones falling to the ground.

No penetration!

Wu Xiao quickly checked the extent of the damage to the protective shield, and then immediately made a decision: "Prepare to fight monsters!" ”

Wave got up and threw a water column towards the boulder not far away, as a water elemental skill, the amount of damage in his hand was not bad. Before the boulder could stand up straight, he was already hiding behind Wu Xiao's protective film.

"Can you bear it? How I look a little empty. ”

"It's okay if you can't bear it, it's enough to offset most of the damage. Besides, I'm a genius. ”

"Yes, yes." The waves responded, but his attention was all on the boulder monster and the protective film that seemed to be weak, and he planned to drag Wuxiao away as soon as he was wrong.

Disturbed, the megalith rose to its feet in anger, and crumbles of mud and moss fell down in a terrifying manner.

Wu Xiao was actually very nervous, and she herself instantly held her breath when the stone monster's heavy punch slammed into her protective membrane with the sound of heavy footsteps at an incredible speed.

The protective film silently unfolded the crack, and then began to shatter from the point of stress.

Is...... That's to be expected.

But this is not a one-time prop of the system, even if there is a crack, even if it is broken into thousands of pieces, it still has a connection with Wuxiao. If she wants to, she can re-solidify it in the next second.

But that's enough, the purpose of this ultra-simple shield itself is only to block the high damage of the monolith's one-hit kill. Even the Fredrica Flower didn't have the effect, but at least it managed to block a blow without causing them to take damage.

As long as you take the first hit, the monolith is still very simple. Quickly put it down, and Wu Xiao had time to catch his breath.

"And three more." Wave was worried, "Is it okay?" ”

"I'll go offline and sleep after completing this task." It's really a bit unbearable, and no matter how reluctant it is, it may be more than a headache.

"Okay." Waves show understanding.

With one experience, it is much more efficient to fight the boulder monsters. Wuxiao set up a protective shield, attracted the monster in waves, carried it through the meeting, took it away again, and finally looted in waves. The only pity is that the corpse of the megalith shows that it cannot be taken away. But it's useless to think of a pile of stones.

After quickly beating the remaining three boulders, Wu Xiao and Wave Lan returned to the courtyard in a hurry, thinking that Mrs. Tops would give a new mission after handing in the task, but they didn't expect to meet Alisian directly.

"You don't look very good, if you wish, come to me after you have plenty of rest and preparation, and I will lead you through the preliminary trial."

"Huh?" The exhausted Wu Xiao instantly came to his senses, "Trial?!" ”

"You have successfully achieved a preliminary understanding and application of the elements, and we think you are ready to take the trial."

So it's not triggered when you reach a certain level, but you can do it after completing a series of tasks?

It's surprisingly simple.

No, if you think about it, the three monsters in Mrs. Tops's mission have their own characteristics: the glow-in-the-dark worm with extremely thick blood, which makes her initially perceive the elements; The red mulberry bee, which is extremely agile, allows her to learn to use the elements; The giant stone monster that must be killed when she meets makes her know how to protect herself with the elements.

Although each task has its own difficulties, it is obviously not prepared for the waves, and every time she completes a task, she grows and learns, and I am afraid that this is the real purpose of these tasks.

Mrs. Tops's mission is supposed to be the prerequisite and key to unlock the trial.

Although she was excited to go to the next test immediately, she couldn't help shaking her head and regained her calm in time.

Even Alice, it can be said that the system can judge that her current state is not good enough, and she herself is even more difficult to force herself. The long hours of high-intensity combat and the use of mental power have reached her limits, and even if the game's support system is still working, the vague headache can no longer be ignored.

Wu Xiao suppressed the anticipation and excitement in her heart, and expressed her gratitude and apologies to Alisian: "I'm sorry, Your Excellency, I really don't fit to start the trial right now, when the time comes, I will come back to you again, thank you for your understanding." ”

"We've been amazed at how far you've been able to do it in such a short period of time. Please rest well, we look forward to your future performance. ”

Saying goodbye to Alisian and Mrs. Toth, Foggy and Wave returned to their room.

Meet at half past eight tomorrow morning, Wu Xiao entered the inner room, lay down on the soft big bed, and then went offline. If it is offline for a long time, then a good rest environment and quality will bring some buffs to the player when they go online next time, which is clearly stated by the game official, of course, even if it is offline immediately, there will be systematic offline protection, no need to worry.

As for whether he will level up or do tasks after the waves, that's not something Wu Xiao needs to care about.

After leaving the game, she lay in the game warehouse, calming down the fluctuations of mental power and the overuse of the body's uncontrollable trembling and slight convulsions, and couldn't help but be a little afraid. It's obviously just a breakthrough, and this usage is really irresponsible to yourself.

Fortunately, she is still self-aware, fortunately, the waves will stop her, and fortunately, even the system has a reminder. Wu Xiao was actually a little curious, if she hadn't taken the initiative to go offline by herself at that time, would the system have kicked her offline out of the benchmark of protecting players. But it's only going to be worse when you think about it.

Not long after closing his eyes and recuperating, Wu Xiao heard the prompt sound of the game warehouse: "Lin Chenxiao is calling you, do you need to open the door of the warehouse?" ”

Kindness...... The identification system is quite convenient. Wu Xiao opened his hazy eyes: "Open." ”

The warehouse door opened smoothly, and Lin Chenxiao with an anxious face was outside.

"What's wrong? Go offline without saying hello? Why is your face so bad? What's uncomfortable? Chen Xiao's brows were furrowed, her face was full of distress, and her big hand was to test the temperature of Wuxiao's forehead, and to pinch her cold hand to convey warmth.

"It's okay, help me get water, I'm a little thirsty." Wu Xiao licked her lips, "It's just that I'm a little tired, just get some sleep." ”

"You're not going to overuse your mental power, are you?" Chen Xiao brought Wu Xiao a water cup on the table next to him, and his tone was hard to hide the reproach, "It's obvious that you just broke through, it's not that you haven't read those materials, how can you be so careless." ”

Wu Xiao drank a sigh of relief, and waited until the water cup was empty before sighing with satisfaction: "Whether it's the nutrient solution or the drink in the game, it's really the coolest like this." ”

Chen Xiao squatted down and gently carried the paralyzed Wuxiao out of the game compartment and moved to the bed: "Huh? So? Look at you, there are so many cold sweats, let's take a shower and sleep later, and you don't have to go to the system to register today, and you'll talk about it tomorrow. ”

"That ......" Wu Xiao leaned on the soft pillow with her upper body, looking pitiful, "I didn't grasp it well today, will it have any impact?" There won't be any after-effects, right? ”

Chen Xiaozheng helped her get a change of clothes, and when she heard this, she was angry and laughed: "No, it's normal that there will be a slight overuse of mental power, and there is no adverse effect." But if it's too much, I'm afraid you won't have a chance to talk to me here. ”

With a reluctant sigh, Wu Xiao was mercilessly pulled up by Chen Xiao and thrown into the bathroom.

In fact, there was no discomfort in the body, and it was just a normal reaction of the brain caused by mental fluctuations, which led to physiological manifestations.

It's just that although the body is fine, the brain has not fully recovered. Wu Xiao can only immerse himself in the warm water to relax and adjust himself.

After going to bed, Chen Xiao chattered, but Wu Xiao looked at him in a daze, and he didn't even have time to say good night before he fell asleep......
