Chapter 8: Dark Elemental Creatures
It was not until they found Mrs. Tops in the hut in the corner of the garden that they found nothing different or different, and everything seemed to be the same as it had been before they entered. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Are you the child that Alysian found?" Old Lady Tops looked at Wu Xiao with a smile, gently placed a bouquet of flowers in her hand on the low table beside her, and took out a white flower the size of a small half palm from the cloth pocket on her waist, and pinned it gently and naturally to Wu Xiao's ear, "This is the flower called Frika, and it is also the name of the previous Dark Emperor, so take it as my meeting gift." ”
"Thank you." Wu Xiao smiled back, and for such an old lady, her heart instantly softened.
"As for you, are you the pure light elemental body that has been certified by the Creation God?" Mrs. Tops was gentle and calm when facing the waves, "It's really handsome, it's a pity that I don't have anything for you in my hands, I'll give it to you next time." ”
"Thank you for your kindness." Waves also don't shirk with NPCs.
"Mrs. Tops, I want to be tested." Let's get back to the point.
"Trial, it's too early for you, why don't you go to the neighborhood and help me hunt thirty luminous insects first, and then bring back the light sacs of twenty luminous insects."
"Okay."
Looking at Mrs. Tops' kind smile, Misty Xiao had no idea how difficult this task would be for them right now.
"Is it because the level is not reached?" Foggy Xiao and Wave Wave walked side by side in the garden path, "I feel like I haven't been able to reach the level where the task is triggered." ”
"I think your trial should be considered a ...... How to put it, the kind of one-time triggered story missions that can directly participate in the main plot of the game. I remember someone who encountered it during the closed beta, but no one knows who it was and what changed. However, the plot development line of this world is definitely different from the world line before he triggered, which is also a major feature of the element. ”
"Closed beta?" Wu Xiao grabbed a flashing word.
"Well, a small number of people were invited to participate in the closed beta before the open beta, and I only found out after seeing some explanations on a forum occasionally."
"Well, wouldn't I be very powerful?" Wu Xiao's big bright eyes turned, and a wicked smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Don't rejoice too soon." Bo Lan couldn't help but laugh when he saw Wu Xiao like this, "I'm afraid the difficulty of this kind of task is more terrifying than a nightmare." ”
"It's okay, isn't it just a little more effort, and will this game still give players tasks that they can't complete?"
"Maybe?" The smile was meaningful.
But Wu Xiao didn't see it, because they were walking to the iron gate of the garden.
The perception of the threat caused them to involuntarily stop.
"It doesn't feel like it's good for you." Wu Xiao frowned rarely.
As the composition of opposing elements, the waves are naturally more sensitive, but they did not hesitate: "Well, let's go." ”
The door had been opened by Alice, and it was only when they got their hands on it themselves that they found it incredibly heavy.
What's even more incredible is that after the door was opened, the majestic dark elements that were far more numerous than at night surged towards the door, but they were blocked by an invisible barrier. Due to the improvement of his own mental power and the auxiliary bonus after the system adjustment, Wu Xiao's perception of the dark element has improved a lot.
"What is this? Enchantment? Protective covers? Although the atmosphere outside looked violent, Wu Xiao was still very curious, "Obviously, it was more powerful here before. ”
"Probably, I don't know if it's because we're here."
Foggy Xiao tentatively poked the tail of the staff out. Fortunately, there is no phenomenon of being corrupted as expected.
"It doesn't seem like there's any danger, get out?" Wu Xiao was a little worried.
"I'm fine, it's a big deal that I can't stand it and come back."
"Okay."
The two of them disappeared into the night together.
The formless and insubstantial darkness enveloped the two of them, but the perception of the dark element brought them two diametrically opposed feelings.
For Wu Xiao, the tide-like dark element is like her mother's warm embrace, allowing her to let go of all her defenses and uneasiness; But for the waves, such a large number of dark elements are the most terrible nightmares and cold, and negative emotions such as panic and fear have resurfaced, but they cannot be compared with any time before.
Fortunately, I was mentally prepared this time, holding my staff and trying not to let myself be pressed down.
"Can you go?" Wu Xiao saw the struggling appearance through the faint light outside the door.
"Yes, but it's really inconvenient for the system to not be able to adjust the perception." Wave sighed, "Otherwise I'd be much easier." ”
"Come on, you look like you're having fun."
"Huh? Didn't you have an initial breakthrough? Wave Lan was a little surprised, "There should be an explanation in the system, this perception and control system of the elements is very suitable for the practice and cultivation of mental power, if you can ensure that you can play the game for more than three hours a day, you don't need to do the basic exercises of the day." ”
"I just broke through, and I haven't had time to confirm and submit information to the system." No wonder Wave always gives her an inexplicable masochist feeling, it turns out that there is still this reason.
Wave Lan was not surprised to receive a look of raised eyebrows from Wu Xiao: "Also, depending on your situation, you should have broken through in that deep hole." As I said, this kind of system is very beneficial for the cultivation of spiritual power. I was tested in the third batch, so I probably know a little more than you. ”
"That's right." The third batch of pilots? Wasn't that done in their city and the surrounding area?
"Wait, I've got something going on." Wu Xiao suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly contacted Chen Xiao: "What is the name of the city on the edge of your novice village?" ”
"Huh? What's wrong? Chen Xiao was fighting monsters, and when he heard this question, he thought for a while, and then vaguely remembered the introduction of the city receptionist, "Spring City." ”
"Waves, do you know which city is closest to us?"
"Spring, what's wrong?"
"It's okay, it's okay." Wu Xiao hurriedly waved his hand, turned his head and continued to contact Chen Xiao, "The closest one on my side is also Spring Time City, if you haven't left by then, see you in Spring Time." ”
"You come early, it's going to be a quick upgrade here."
Wu Xiao answered and hung up the communication. But I still can't fully confirm my thoughts - the game of Element, it is likely that the location of the player's novice village is arranged according to the actual region. I'm afraid it's to facilitate the arrangement of offline activities for players in the future.
"Is it solved?"
"Can you adapt?"
The two spoke at the same time, looked at each other and smiled after being stunned, and they had lost the jerkiness they had at the beginning.
"The quest prompt says that the Luminous Bug is in this ...... Kindness...... Settlements? In the outer forest, let's go and find it first. ”
"What about you?" Wu Xiao asked naturally whether the waves could withstand it.
"It's good to get used to it, in fact, this feeling is a bit like stress training in the system, and you will slowly get into it later."
Wu Xiao said that he understood, and the two of them set off at this time, aiming for the surrounding forest.
There were a lot of people along the way, and their attitudes towards the two were polite but alienated, obviously the remnants of the Dark Clan, and for the two people who suddenly appeared, they should have been notified by Alisian or the system, so there was no excesses.
The place is said to be a settlement, but it is already quite the size of a town, and everything is in order, with all kinds of shops and supplies of materials in order. Wu Xiao and Wave Lan casually entered a few houses, but found that there was no use of currency here, people handed over the materials they obtained to the material supply station, and then obtained the items they needed from the life skill NPC, people consciously and actively, although the materials were abundant, they were not squandered or wasted at all, and it seemed that they were fully prepared for something.
People do their jobs and are busy at night. Aside from the overly rich dark element, the two didn't find anything special. It seems that what Alisian said is right, this kind of environment fog is unimpeded, and even gained, but the waves can only obediently bear a series of negative effects and mental pressure brought by it, fortunately, the dark element in this situation is not lethal to him, and the continuous blood loss is not as fast as the automatic recovery. But Wave Lan has a benefit that Wu Xiao can't know - his dark elemental perception is slowly growing at a thousandth point, but the affinity is still 0. This kind of growth in elemental affinity can only occur in a few elemental cities, and although this is only a settlement of the Dark Clan and not an elemental city, some corresponding reward mechanisms are still there.
Although NPCs are always telling them that they don't have the right to get equipment and other items for the time being, they can still buy ordinary potions and food, but unfortunately they can't buy maps in this kind of thing, obviously no matter where the map is the most common and extensive resource, but there is no way to buy it normally here.
A few NPCs were consulted on the way, and they quickly found their way out, just to the forest, of course.
"How did you say they ran in and hid for so many years?" Wu Xiao kept throwing skills at the luminous insects, "Really...... It's strange why the blood is so thick. ”
Wave sat lazily on the ground, occasionally throwing two water elemental recovery skills to Wu Xiao. He tried a few times just now, and found that none of the light element skills could be released, and each time he would only get a system prompt "The light element is scarce here, and the skill cannot be released". Fortunately, other affinity elements, such as the water element, although they are not constituted, but because of the unusually high affinity and perception, he can still release the water element skill, but the lethality here is too weak, and the blood deduction on the monster is less than two digits, and it is not as practical as the recovery technique.
"If you want to talk about the Dark, you'll probably have to ask Alysanne or Mrs. Toth. But this ...... Could it be an elite-level monster? Wave lost a monster identification technique, "Not really." ”
According to the previous experience, Wu Xiao's current skill must have the elemental bonus of the environment, and the amount of damage must be considerable, but in the face of this kind of monster, a dark bullet can only take away about a hundred blood, which is simply not as good as the amount of damage she can do to fight monsters in other places now.
It doesn't matter if the monster's blood volume is about the same, but the luminous insect here, under the monster identification technique, you can see that the blood volume has reached about fifteen thousand, which means that with the CD (cooldown) 1.5 second skill, she completely ignores the blue consumption, and it will take at least four minutes to kill one. This is not at all the situation that normal monsters should be.
"Could it be because they are creatures that live in a dark elemental environment, so their resistance to dark elemental attacks is relatively high?" Bo Lan watched Wu Xiao's blood volume rise and fall, but he didn't have any extra worries, "Otherwise, your skill damage will definitely be more than this here." ”
"Really, this monster is so difficult to fight, and there is little experience given. Ah, the light sac has been dropped. Wu Xiao felt a sphere glowing with golden light from the corpse of the luminous insect, "I don't know if it is better to increase the damage of the skill or weaken the defense of this monster." ”
Wave was interested: "Weaken the defenses? Do you have any ideas? ”
"This monster's resistance to dark elements is so high, and when it hit me, it used dark element spells, which means that it must be composed of dark elements. In that case......"
