"How, how?"

"I'm fine...... Is it still alive? ”

"Are you thinking too optimistically about our situation? If the monsters in this game can show a health bar, I guarantee this guy will still have full health......"

"If nothing is actually done, then our plan for capture operations ...... Yes! ”

With heavy gasps and shuffling footsteps, the sight of two figures slowly coming together slowly appeared in the center of the mess, examining each other's scars from the battle as they cautiously approached the edge of the massive crater. A roar from inside the pit then rushed into the forest sky like a gushing volcano, and a scene of a red shadow suddenly jumping out of the trap appeared in front of Duan Qing, and in the rumbling sound of rocks rolling, the red dragon beast that didn't seem to have been harmed looked back at Duan Qing viciously, and then let out an oppressive roar at the two of them again: "Huh-"

“…… Look, what a spiritual monster. ”

Looking at the red dot that was gradually getting smaller because of the U-turn and running towards the depths of the forest, Duan Qing let go of the hands covering his ears: "We have been busy for half a day, and in the end we can only leave such a back." ”

“…… At least we survived. Xue Lingphantom Bing, who was also looking at the disappearing red dot, also retracted his gaze, and at the same time let go of the hand he had been holding his chest: "By the way, I got to know it...... Information on some ferocious creature that belongs to this forest. ”

"Your armor looks damaged." Duan Qing turned his head to look at the place where Xue Ling Phantom Ice was covering just now: "Won't it affect its attributes?" ”

“…… It should be fine. The long-haired woman's gaze lingered for a moment on the claw marks carved on the surface of the snow-white armor, and then shook her head slightly: "The system indicates that the armor is in a damaged state, but there are no other worse changes, even if it is not repaired...... I guess it will last a while. ”

"Almost all of the monsters here are of this intensity, and I hope there won't be any more head-on hits." So Duan Qing shook his head and walked a few steps, coming to the side of the area where he had fought before: "Otherwise...... Wouldn't it be a loss to suffer such a big loss, and in the end not be able to take anything with you? ”

"It should ...... Harvest it. Before Duan Qing could finish speaking, Xue Lingphantom Bing, who had also walked to the edge of the pit, suddenly bent down on his waist: "This is ...... The scales of that monster? ”

"Speaking of which...... It was true that a few scales had fallen from its body before. Duan Qing walked back with a little surprise: "Is this thing useful?" ”

“…… Probably yes. The brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and Xue Lingphantom Ice changed his hand and handed the red scales to Duan Qing's hand: "If ......"

"I'm not mistaken."

【Scales of the Fierce Claw Dragon (Epic)】

[The scales peeled off from the body of the fierce clawed dragon, the transparent scale surface exudes an indescribable red light, although it is impossible to know the energy and material it contains, but its hardness is undoubted. 】

【Crafting Materials.】 】

“…… Crafting materials? ”

Countless possibilities flashed through his mind, but what finally came out of Duan Qing's mouth was such a sentence: "If you can use this kind of scales to create a suitable armor, wouldn't your defense be invincible?" ”

"Such a size...... If you collect a few more pieces, you might be able to make a sharper weapon. Xue Lingphantom Ice on the side then said in a low voice: "Although I don't know the process, the materials needed to make a long sword ...... It probably takes less than the materials needed to craft armor, right? ”

"Not necessarily, the specific situation depends on the blacksmith's forging methods." Duan Qing shook his head slightly, and looked at this piece of scale armor up and down for a long time: "But no matter what, we should have picked up the treasure." ”

"Of the good blacksmiths I know at the moment, there aren't many people in our neighborhood." Xue Ling's eyes kept flickering, and it seemed that he had already begun to plan the next step: "Not counting the head of the Roland family...... Where is the blacksmith named Flo now? ”

"Thanks to you remembering that guy, this armor on my body was made by him." Duan Qing shook his head helplessly: "It's a pity that since the battle of Fars Fortress, we haven't seen any trace of him, and among the blacksmiths we still know, there is probably only Val's big bald head...... By the way, you don't know Vaal yet, do you? He is the blacksmith of the original Greenstone Village, and now he should follow Mengzhu and the others to act......"

"I know that guy, from the previous mission in the Emerald Forest...... I had information about him. Xue Lingphantom Ice recalled for a while: "But according to the person who reported it to me...... That guy looks like a deserter from the principality? ”

"The reason why he fled from the army, and why he chose Greenstone Village as a hiding place...... These unsolved mysteries are the reason why we return to the Wind Flower Plains this time. Duan Qing's eyes became deeper: "Anyway, sooner or later, we have to go back to him once, we can also ask him about scales, as for whether this unprofessional guy will give the right answer...... I can't guarantee it. ”

“…… As long as someone helps us identify. After lowering his head and thinking for a while, Xue Lingphantom Ice, who waved his hand, turned his eyes to other places not far from here: "The question now is, can we bring more crafting materials back......"

Tweet ——!

The shrill and familiar sound of birdsong then sounded in front of the woods, and in the direction that the red figure known as the Fierce Claw Dragon had just fled, a large white shadow with its wings outstretched then appeared over the area, sending a huge wind pressure down on the bushy forest floor. In the strong wind that was enough to affect Duan Qing's area, the red giant shadow that had already disappeared from the field of vision of the two of them also let out a roar with the appearance of this wind pressure, and then under the reaction and stunned gaze of the two of them, it collided fiercely with the giant shadow that fell from the sky.

"I'm going to ...... it"

Bang!

With the piercing sound of friction, the two figures, one red and one white, suddenly separated in the distance of the forest, and the fierce red dragon beast then left the corner where it had been hiding and fled in the direction deeper into the woods. The victorious bird then let out a clear chirp, as if expressing due satisfaction with the result, and its huge hovering body continued to rotate with the swaying of its feathers, and finally slowly stopped in the east where it was floating.

That was the direction where Duan Qing and Xue Lingphantom Ice were at this time.

“…… Hehe. ”

With a wry smile coming out of his mouth, Duan Qing glanced at the woman beside him, and then hurriedly began another hasty escape in the sight of the giant bird in the distance starting to fly towards the two.

**********************

"Is this place okay?"

"Don't worry, there's no problem, this is an underground cavity formed by the remains of the ancient forest, and those beasts shouldn't be able to enter......"

“…… I don't believe it, you found the hole in the tree before, and you swore that it was a place that would never be discovered, but it turned out to be a nest dug by people with horns......

"Aha! It was a mistake, a mistake, you know...... The place we are in now is not a realm that can be judged by common sense......"

In the sound of the two conversations gradually precipitating from far to near, a tree root extending from the dirt above was suddenly pushed to both sides, and the embarrassed figure belonging to Duan Qing then appeared behind those chaotic roots, slowly burrowing into the interior of this underground cave. Different from the gloomy and dark nature of an ordinary crypt, it was still a bright and clear scene in front of Duan Qing, and the two people who entered the cave later quickly found the reason why it was so bright: "This is...... Moss? ”

"Probably, it could be some kind of fungus ......"

"How can you shine so beautifully......"

"Isn't it pink? Why are you so beautiful......"

The soft ground sank in turn as the two people entered, as if they were welcoming the humans who stepped into this place for the first time in this way, and the figures floating around from time to time also illuminated the more and more embarrassed figures of Duan Qing and Xue Lingling Ice a lot more clearly, and at the same time attracted more songworms to surround the two people. Still not giving up their vigilance, they explored the depths of the cave for a while, making sure that this place was not the lair of another beast, and then in a quiet atmosphere, they changed the conversation between them a little more: "...... Okay, it should be safe here, no matter how powerful that bird is, it won't be able to burrow into the ground, right? ”

"Why does it keep chasing us so hard? Could it be the one we met on the ridge before? ”

"It's not such a coincidence, is it? Unless we can confirm that among the strange birds in the sky that we saw before, it is the only one who is the overlord......"

"This possibility is not impossible, because that guy can fly freely in the wind and snow, and its attacks before seemed to have an ice attribute, and it has a certain degree of freezing effect......"

“…… Never mind. ”

Finally stopped in a relatively dry place in the depths of the cave, Duan Qing turned around and dropped the package behind him, while cleaning up the nearby dirt and surrounding insects, while inspecting the surrounding scene: "I have been running away for almost two days, and my legs are about to be tired......

"Isn't that a great opportunity?" Xue Ling Phantom Ice sat unceremoniously on the side of the ground that Duan Qing had cleared: "Not only can I exercise my skills and strength, but I can also get good equipment materials......

"I'll do my best to grant your wish, as long as the two of us don't die too badly." Duan Qingtou, who turned around to pack his bags, said without looking back: "The existing conditions and character attributes and equipment are a bit low, and it is still very difficult to snatch a little material from those monsters with your life......"

"This may not really be a place for players to come now, and it's probably the most advanced map in the free world." Xue Lingphantom Ice also nodded approvingly: "If it is really impossible, we can try to start with those monsters that are not very powerful......

"It just doesn't look very powerful."

Finally took out the magic lamp in the package, and Duan Qing then piled up a few pieces of firewood that he picked up at random on the way when he came: "The monsters who can come to this place will not be weak no matter how much they think about it, and this is the standard law of the jungle, and weak monsters will be eaten by bigger monsters sooner or later......"

"Didn't we see some herds of beasts on our way away?" Xue Lingphantom Ice frowned: "Those things you call herbivorous dragons...... They're not that powerful, are they? ”

"It's true that they are not very powerful, but the materials on them must not be very good." Duan Qing pursed his lips disdainfully: "Even if they are all killed and then cramped and skinned, it is estimated that the final harvest will not be satisfactory......"

"At least it's better than running away all the time." Xue Lingphantom Bing, who was holding his legs and staring at each other, replied angrily: "I was chased by that ice bird all the way again, I am absolutely angry, and you will definitely not be willing to go back empty-handed, right...... Hey, why haven't you lit it yet? ”

"Don't worry, I'm not a fire magician, and this magic lamp is also used for lighting, not specifically for igniting fires."

"It hasn't burned for so long...... Does it have something to do with these dead branches? Can the trees here really be set on fire? ”

"You have a lot of ideas, but unfortunately I'm not an encyclopedia, if we are in the same situation as the Emerald Forest, then maybe what we are burning now is still stone...... Hey? ”

Muttering these meaningless words in his mouth, Duan Qing, who raised his head, suddenly stopped his gaze in a corner, and then slowly walked to the corner of the cave under the same puzzled gaze of Xue Ling Phantom Ice, and the light source lit up around the cave was still filled in front of that area, but the way it appeared seemed to be different from other places, and Duan Qing, who walked in front of him, only investigated a little, and found the reason for the strange light source here: "This is ......"

"Gaps?"

Whoop -

With the movement of his hand, the top of the cave that was not very stable suddenly collapsed, and then after a period of falling sound, an upward hole was displayed in front of the two people, and the bright light then shone obliquely from the top of the hole, sprinkling a layer of white light on the irregular cave **, and the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice, who was also attracted, then walked to Duan Qing's side, and looked at the top of the collapsed hole: "...... What do you think? ”

“…… What else, luck is blowing. ”

Looking at the obvious artificial traces displayed above the entrance of the cave, Duan Qing replied with a pout.
