Chapter 49: The Present Situation
The willow tree is a very common tree in China, the green leaves will be waving in the wind, the soft willow branches will flutter with the wind, looking at the past from afar, a large group of green, very gratifying, many old people and children like to sit under the leaves of the willow tree in the summer to enjoy the coolness.
But Ye Lingqi didn't have the slightest intention of approaching the willow tree in front of him, which was at least thirty or forty years old, and the ordinary willow tree couldn't grow too big in thirty or forty years, at most it was as thick as a bucket, but after a few days of growth after awakening, it looked like an old tree that had been sixty or seventy years old.
Ye Ling's gaze swept around the trunk of the willow tree, and finally landed at the root of the tree, and the bluestone slab ground looked a little uneven, as if something was hiding under the willow tree and wanted to break through the ground.
Her ability is Devour, and when faced with an Awakened Plant, she often has a feeling of not knowing what to do, which she realized the last time she was looking for the Giant Spider's Lair, and if she guessed correctly, there should be another Awakened Plant in that forest, but she doesn't know what it is.
This time, she went on a solo mission, also to test how her abilities should fight against the awakened plants.
In the distance, the branches of the willow tree slowly rolled up, and if it weren't for the solemn atmosphere on the field, it actually looked funny, and the willow tree that rolled up the branches looked like a short-haired woman with a small curl at some angles.
With the rapid change of the ability in Ye Li's hand, the willow tree in the distance suddenly stretched out an emerald green branch and yanked at Ye Li.
Just when the branches of the willow tree were about to hit Ye Li, the ability in Ye Li's hand also took shape, and a black Tang knife about forty centimeters long appeared in Ye Li's hand, which was the fat man's handle.
The sharp blade slashed directly at the root of the willow branch, and the willow branch broke off at the root and fell to the ground, no different from an ordinary willow branch.
Ye Liqi glanced at the Tang knife in his hand, the originally flat and smooth knife surface was now a little blurry, and before Ye Lili could think more, several willow branches came to his face.
For a moment, Ye Lingqi looked at the overwhelming willow branches, which were like whips held in someone's hand, and she was the one who was whipped.
Tang Dao slashed again, Ye Liqi quickly waved his wrist in the dense willow branches, and constantly cut off the whips that made a sound of breaking the air in the air, and the flat bluestone slab ground was also pulled out of cracks, which looked quite shocking.
With the sudden collapse of the Tang Knife in his hand, Ye Lingqi also stepped out of the attack range of the willow tree, which is the benefit of fighting against the awakened plant.
Looking at the large cloud of black mist in her hand, Ye Liqi was a little worried, her ability was more unstable than that of a fluid thing like water, if it was easy to make water condense into ice, but it was very difficult to make a cloud of fog solid and not shatter in the collision again and again.
Ye Liqi is constantly simulating various attack methods and battle plans in his heart, if he doesn't see it as a tree but as a person, how to fight, if it's a person, of course, he has to take the vital part, but where is the key point of the tree?
Ye Linglu frowned, and kept looking at the willow tree that was constantly shaking its branches like Medusa, and wanted to know very much how the willow tree in Chiyu City was subdued.
With a sigh, Ye Lingqi walked into the attack range of the willow tree as if he had been driven to the shelf.
Without any further hesitation, Ye Lingqi quickly entered the battle state, dodged the whipping of the willow branch in a few steps, and slowly approached the trunk.
As Ye Lingqi got closer to the willow trunk, the more oncoming branches came, and within a few strokes, willow branches hit Ye Lingqi's body, even if she dodged in time, there were many willow branches that left whip marks on her body.
Seeing that there was a bulge on the ground in front of him, the ability in Ye Li's hand quickly formed a big knife and stabbed it fiercely on the bulge.
Feeling the sudden sharp pain from behind, Ye Liqi rolled on the ground, but it was getting closer and closer to the willow trunk, and while the big knife in his hand had not completely turned into pieces, Ye Liqi slammed his left foot on the pile of tangled willow branches in front of him, and then waved his right hand fiercely, directly cutting off the small half of the canopy of the willow tree.
The willow branches that were still beating her viciously fell to the ground weakly at this time, but they didn't want some branches of their left foot to survive, so they wrapped their left legs around Ye Li's ankle and hung her upside down violently, as if they were going to throw her out in the next moment.
The black mist in Ye Li's hand instantly formed a black ink line in a hurry, and the speed was much faster than before.
Just when Ye Lingqi was about to be thrown out by the willow branch with a top-heavy head, the ink line in his hand suddenly wrapped around the dense branches on the ground again and again, and the last moment Ye Lingqi was just thrown out by the willow branch, and the next moment it fell heavily on the bluestone slab in the backyard.
The shoulder blade ached faintly, and he exhaled a breath, and Ye Liqi quickly got up, and there was not much left of his ability, so he had to pull out the three-edged army/thorn on his waist, dodging the willow tree's attack while waiting for the ability to recover.
Although the physical strength was consumed very quickly after going back and forth a few times, he was not injured many times, and he was also glad in his heart, fortunately, this willow tree had only awakened for a few days, and the evolution direction of the man-eating willow tree in Chiyu City was different, and it was far less powerful than it.
Ye Lingqi gasped hard, looked at the few remaining green branches of the willow tree, rushed up in three steps and two steps, and fought to open the flesh of the skin that was whipped by the willow branch, and the black mist that had been gathered for a long time in his right hand also suddenly dispersed, directly covering the bare trunk of the willow tree.
Looking at the branches that fell all over the ground, Ye Lingqi stood in the middle of the courtyard, and then slowly took a breath.
Slowly approaching, Ye Lingqi reached out and patted the trunk of the tree, it seemed to be no different from an ordinary willow tree, but this was no better than the previous sweet potato flower, just in case, it was best to saw off all the trunks.
Mobilize the ability in his body, turn into a long knife, and cut at the willow tree.
Watching the trunk of the willow tree slowly fall, Ye Lingqi was relieved.
Out of the courtyard, Ye Liqi saw all the monks who were gathered in the front of the Buddha Hall kneeling and chanting, walked over a few steps, the old abbot hurriedly stood up, and saw that although Ye Liqi was embarrassed, but his expression was normal, and he suddenly had a number in his heart, and said kindly: "Amitabha, trouble the donor, if you don't dislike it, it's time to eat, let's have a vegetarian meal here at noon." ”
Ye Liqi thought about it, and nodded and said, "Okay, then it will trouble a few little masters." ”
At noon, I had a vegetarian meal there, although it was a few simple dishes, but the taste was very good.
After returning to the ability to receive fifty points, Ye Liqi looked at Lily helping her brush the file, and asked, "I heard that there was a person who did this task before, but it didn't succeed, will there be a punishment if the mission fails?" ”
Lily nodded and said, "I know what you said, it was still done by Roland, that is, a novice, if a novice fails to do the first task, although there will be no punishment, but there will be no reward, which is different from the situation when the special awakened person performs the task." ”
Then Lily continued: "Under normal circumstances, failure of the task will be punished by one-third of the task reward or deducted points, and under normal circumstances, if there are more than five mission failure records, the task rating will be increased by one level depending on the situation, and the task reward will be increased at the same time." ”
Ye Lili nodded, Lily thought for a while, and said: "Now almost all of your task rewards are points, and there is very little cash or other things, in fact, the person who issues the task has to pay a task fee to the ability, depending on the difficulty of the task, but the reason why this money does not go to your hands is because it is all used for the construction of the ability, and now what is issued to you is the point reward that the ability spends independently." ”
After a pause, seeing that Ye Lili was listening carefully, Lily looked left and right, and whispered: "But this situation will not last long, so in the future, the task reward you get for doing tasks is the reward issued by the person who issued the task, unless it is a task released by the ability alone." ”
Ye Lili nodded, understanding what Lily meant.
"But in addition to these, if you bring back the things you got during the mission, such as the corpses of those alien beasts, you can sell them to the Ability, and if a certain part of the corpse of some alien beasts is more precious and has a special use, there will be a large reward." Lily added.
"By the way, I remember that you were one of the first batch of special awakened people who successfully completed the mission, and now it seems that you can receive the awakened weapon, do you want me to ask you?" Lily suddenly remembered something and asked.
Ye Liqi thought about it, and simply nodded: "Okay, I'm sorry for you." ”
Lily pursed her lips and smiled, "What's the trouble here, wait a minute." ”
As she spoke, Lily picked up the landline next to her, dialed a number, and then asked about it.
Hanging up the phone, Lily happily said to Ye Lili: "It's okay, it's on the third floor, you can just go up directly, you have this permission for this batch of special awakened people, but wait a while." ”
Ye Lili nodded, thanked Lily, and walked directly into the elevator and went up to the third floor.
In fact, Ye Liqi doesn't have much knowledge of the weapons of the awakened in his heart, at this stage, domestic or foreign weapons are mainly hot weapons, and in terms of individuals, considering the convenience of carrying, etc., it is generally micro/punch or pistol, etc., such as machine guns or rocket artillery, etc., are very restricted, and they will often be seen in some combat countries.
But the Awoken weapon, will it be like this?
