Chapter 16: Into the Misty Forest

Rhodes wasn't trying to get closer.

But there are always some curious babies who can't help but run to explore, but it's okay that these strangers can know a little bit about what's wrong with the castle of the Earl of the Border.

With all his belongings in tow, Rhodes prepares for a long-awaited trip to the Misty Forest.

Breathe the air of the forest.

Rod suddenly felt a sense of freedom, finally no longer having to huddle in that birdcage, this feeling was quite beautiful.

With Zhao Yixue and Ran Yibing, Rhodes found a relatively safe route and entered the forest.

This route was discovered by the mushroom pickers of Neverwinter, and it can avoid many dangers, and if you follow this route all the way in, you will reach the place where the igneous rock mushrooms are abundant.

It may be that the mushroom pickers have not been here for too long, and this relatively safe route has become overgrown with weeds and has become less safe.

And for Rod, who had lived in it for more than a month, and even escaped to the depths of the forest, it was quite easy to avoid some dangers.

Faced with the venom sprayed by the poison dart frog, Rod directly blocked it with the leaves of the fake taro, and by the way, collected the venom and put it in a glass bottle.

The poison dart frog was also captured by Rhodes.

The venom of this little frog is very poisonous, and a drop can directly poison a cow.

An ounce of arrow frog venom in the imperial capital can be sold for 50 gold, which is the favorite thing of many assassins, as long as you quench the poison in the weapon, even if the other party is powerful.

Once contaminated with this venom, the whole body will enter a state of paralysis, and then respiratory failure, without a suitable antidote, even the great wizard will have to lie down obediently.

Rhodes has been recruited before.

It was only by relying on Rose's artificial respiration that he barely saved a dog's life.

When the three of them walked forward.

"Ahh

With a scream, Ran Yibing was swallowed by a huge plant, and Rod glanced at it, and it was the Devouring Flower that swallowed her.

This is a level 8 plant.

Characterized by a large mouth and high defense, the man-eating flower is very common in the Misty Forest, and is very good at camouflage, some will be disguised as dead wood, and some will be disguised as weeds.

In short, it is impossible to prevent it.

Even the mushroom pickers are helpless against them, but they have an Achilles' heel, they are very afraid of spicy and stimulating food.

Once caught by the Devouring Flower, as long as there is a ginger slice on the body, throw it into the mouth of the Devouring Flower to ensure that it will be spit out of the food.

Maybe even the bile will be vomited clean.

And chili peppers work best!

It's just that the chili peppers in Neverwinter are very expensive, costing 10 silver coins per catty, and Rod is reluctant to buy them.

After seeing Ran Yibing being swallowed.

Zhao Yixue was a little panicked, picked up the short sword, and slashed at the devouring flower, but the sword was opened, and the devouring flower still did not move.

Rod, who was not in a hurry at all, took two slices of ginger and stuffed them into the mouth of the devouring flower.

Followed by.

The huge plant trembled, then began to twist, looking like it was in pain.

The next second.

The mouth that swallowed Ran Yibing opened suddenly, spitting her out, and kept spraying water outside.

Rod, who was already very experienced, took the leaves of the fake taro and gently blocked the water that was ejected, but Zhao Yixue still splashed a little bit because of his inexperience.

After spitting up more than ten mouthfuls in a row.

The devouring flower wilted, soft like a flower about to wither.

Ran Yibing was still in a panic from being swallowed to spitting out, but now her whole body was covered with saliva and mucus from the devouring flower, and her whole body was wet.

Rod looked at her a few times, couldn't help sighing, took out a cloth from his backpack, and said to her: "Wipe your face first, and then find a place with water to rinse it." ”

Unexpectedly, the girl, even if she was "wet", she still couldn't give people an impulse, Rod was a little regretful, she was just swallowed by the devouring flower, why wasn't it Zhao Yixue beside him.

Just her mature body.

Behind the "wet", the scenery is definitely good.

"Thank you, Rod." As a result, Ran Yibing of Rodbu was so moved that he was about to cry, if this wasn't a treasure boy, I would have eaten a whole host.

And Zhao Yixue, who was behind him, finally understood why Rod carried ginger slices with him, and dared to use it to deal with this kind of devouring flower.

She had always felt strange when she entered the Misty Forest this time, and now they were at least a kilometer deeper, but the number of monsters they encountered was very small.

It's just this man-eating flower.

And when she led the team in yesterday, she went deep to 500 meters, and she encountered at least 5 kinds of monsters, including goblins, slimes, fighting pigs, and finally a tree man.

A team of 10 people, less than half an hour after entering the forest, was wiped out.

And Rhodes was too relaxed, and when he handled the Devouring Flower, it didn't look like the first time he experienced it.

Although she also knew that the devouring flower might be afraid of the pungent taste, in the first moment of the incident, she still chose to use her sword to slash.

Rod's reaction made Zhao Yixue more convinced that he was 100% a beta tester, and he was even more determined to pull him to the guild.

Even if you meet him offline, you can't let him go, after all, having a closed beta is too important for the guild.

You can grasp the latest strategy information, and level up and get supplies faster than other players.

Just the day before yesterday, the heads of various guilds realized that this game is a very hardcore setting, that is, it is different from other games.

The monsters here are dead when they die, and they will not be refreshed except for natural reproduction.

Other words.

The resources of this game are limited, and once someone takes them first, you just don't have them.

For example, sewer goblins.

After everyone is done.

Even if there is a task in the future, they will not be able to complete this task, because there are no goblins in the sewers to kill them.

It's the same in the wild.

Those igneous rock mushrooms picked yesterday have not grown any of them so far, and it is almost 100% certain that the most difficult part of this game is estimated to be resources.

Therefore, if you win over a beta tester in the early stage, take the lead in seizing resources, and lay a good foundation for the guild, then you can become bigger and stronger.

Under the leadership of Rhodes.

They came to a small pond, and on the cliff next to the pond, hundreds of igneous rock mushrooms grew.

After seeing so many igneous rock mushrooms.

Rod himself was a little surprised, the last time he came, there weren't so many, maybe the mushroom pickers didn't come, which allowed them to multiply in large numbers.

Looking at the igneous rock mushrooms full of cliffs, Zhao Yixue's beautiful eyes rippled, and after glancing at Rhodes, her eyes seemed to glow.

Ran Yibing was also very excited: "Rod, you are really amazing, there are a lot of mushrooms here." ”

As soon as he picked for a while, Rhodes dug up 5 igneous rock mushrooms, and a message popped up from the window in front of him.

【Complete the Igneous Mushroom Gathering Quest】

【Quest Reward: 300 XP】

Rod took a look at it, his experience slot, from level 6 to level 7, requires 3,600 points of experience, and now he is still short of 3,000 points.

At least ten more missions like this will be done before you can reach level 7, Rhodes was a little stupid just now, that devouring flower has at least 100 experience, why did he forget to solve it.
