Chapter 579: Thieves
The Mystery Garden is said to be a laboratory-like place created by a research institute before the end of the world by accidentally discovering a special plant from which an anti-aging substance can be extracted.
In addition to studying this plant, many rare plants were also planted here for research, and after the apocalypse, this place gradually became deserted, becoming a level 30 secret realm, many plants in it are aggressive, and anyone who breaks in will be attacked by them.
On top of that, this quest is so hidden that the information is deliberately withheld, and even players born in Sin Capital know about it.
I learned from Anna that the level of this dungeon is much lower than that of the Dark Castle, and it is only a small dungeon for three people, and there are no first-order combat power monsters in it, so Song Jian is also very relieved to accompany Anna to this dungeon.
After all, with Song Jian's current strength, unless someone cooperates, when facing a first-order combat power monster, once the duration of the immortal sword body ends, it will be suppressed in all directions, and he can only escape;
Now with the cooperation of Anna, the life priest, Song Jian believes that with the two of them, he can clear the entire dungeon.
After packing up a little, Song Jian and Anna set off towards this secret realm.
"This secret place is not very difficult, but it takes a lot of effort to get close." Anna explained to Song Jian: "This is the territory of the Black Hoof tribe of the Minotaur tribe, they are very guarded against humans, and we must sneak there at night......
The two rode their horses for a day, and in the evening they came to a mountain range, which was lush and green, all of which were dozens of meters high, and looked like a primeval forest that had never been developed.
Song Jian came out of the city of doom, all the way through the wasteland-like desert Gobi, there are very few green plants that can be seen, and the patches of crops outside the sin capital have already made Song Jian sigh, I didn't expect that there is still such a large primeval forest here.
"In front is the Thunder Beast Mountain, and further on, it is the territory of the Black Hoof Tribe, you guys go back, tell your uncle, we will go back in three or five days at most." Anna said as she handed the reins of her horse to the guards behind her.
In addition to Song Jian and Anna, there were also three City Lord's Mansion guards who followed them all the way, although these three guards were also elite, but they did not help much to enter the Mysterious Garden, so escorting Anna to Thunder Beast Mountain, their task was completed.
"Miss, Lord Song, you have to be more careful!" A middle-aged man in battle armor took the reins of two war horses and said.
"I wish Miss Song, Lord Song is triumphant!" The guards slammed their chests with their right hands, gave a military salute, and shouted at the two of them.
Watching the three of them leave, Song Jian said to Anna, "Why don't you take a rest here tonight and go up the Thunder Beast Mountain tomorrow?" ”
Anna shook her head and said, "It's just to take advantage of the dark night, when those minotaurs are not paying attention, to sneak into the mysterious garden, there are too many minotaurs nearby during the day." ”
Song Jian nodded, since separating from Kane, Song Jian didn't know if he had returned to the Blackhoof tribe, and whether he had become the chief of the Blackhoof tribe with this totem pole, wouldn't it be embarrassing if he came to the door rashly, but Kane didn't come back, or if he failed to compete for the chieftaincy?
The night in the forest was not quiet, this was when many wild beasts came out to hunt for food, Song Jian saw a black panther five or six meters long, staring at them with a pair of dark green eyes on a big tree, and a giant python with the thickness of a bucket and a length of more than ten meters, meandering past them;
Almost none of the beasts in this forest were below level twenty-five, and the level of the black panther and giant python seen before had even reached level thirty, which was even higher than Song Jian's level.
This area is a high-level monster area, and the players are still low-level, so they have not yet set foot in this territory. However, as the level of players gets higher and higher, it is still two to say whether the state of this primeval forest on Thunderbeast Mountain can be maintained.
"Strange, why don't the beasts here attack us?" Along the way, Song Jian was a little puzzled. The names of the beasts in this forest are all red, they belong to the monsters that take the initiative to attack, and once they enter their warning range, they will take the initiative to attack, but Song Jian and Anna did not deliberately avoid them before, but even if these beasts found the two, they just stared and did not attack.
"This is one of my passive abilities in effect, Life Affinity!" Anna smiled, "As long as it is a living creature, it will not take the initiative to attack me." ”
Song Jian was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but gasp in his heart, this passive skill is simply too powerful, why is it also an epic profession, and his sword master feels so shabby?
"Compared with this life priest, I can't take my hand at all, so I'm embarrassed to say it!" Song Jian shook his head in his heart.
The two walked for most of the night, and finally came to a valley, Anna pointed to the valley in front of them and said: "The entrance to the mysterious garden, in that valley, you see the place next to the lights is the Blackhoof tribe......"
Song Jian looked forward, less than five hundred meters away from them, there was a sunken terrain, looking in from the entrance, this valley was bare, without any plants, and there was a clear contrast with the surrounding lush forest, it felt as if someone had pulled the forest bald.
"It's just over an hour before dawn, and we're going to enter the Secret Garden at this time!" Anna said with a look of tiredness on her face.
Walking all night in Thunder Beast Mountain, even without the harassment of wild beasts, it took a lot of energy for the two of them, and even Song Jian felt a little tired, let alone a little girl Anna.
Just as the two were about to continue their march towards the valley, a frightened cry for help was suddenly heard in the distance.
A short, emaciated figure followed in a panicked run in the direction where they were. The man looked a little embarrassed, as if he had been greatly frightened.
"Players?" Song Jian glanced at the person's face, and glanced at the top of the other person's head, and the personal information on the top of the person's head was not hidden, obviously a player.
"Ye Tong, Level 25, Professional Thief, Qi and Blood Value: 1100/1100, Spirit Value: 300/300"
"It's a god!" Anna whispered that the player's information NPC could not be seen, but Anna obviously had her own means of identification.
Song Jian frowned slightly, and summoned the Red Fire Heart Ape Sword with a defensive posture. Originally, I thought that there would be no players in Thunderbeast Mountain, but I didn't expect to meet a player who was being chased here.
At this time, Ye Tong, who was being chased by something, was panicking and exhausted, and suddenly saw Song Jian and Anna, a touch of joy appeared on his face, and he ran towards them desperately.
