333. Saplings

The Elder and his assistant re-entered the fog, but after a few minutes, they returned to their original place through the fog.

"There's no reason, what preconditions do you need to complete before entering the Fountain of Good Luck?"

Cangyue Changkong pinched his chin, took out the page of "Good Luck Spring" from his bag, and read the story on it several times.

“…… If you have enough luck...... Tsk, I always feel that this sentence is problematic. ”

In this game, there is a hidden attribute of 'luck', but there is no clear value to show it, and among the Survivors' charm attribute branch skills, there is the 'Good Luck Contagion' that increases the luck of all Survivors, and the 'Surprise Succession' skill that has a certain chance of getting higher-quality items when collecting items.

Cangyue Changkong guessed that the content of the sentence in "Fountain of Good Luck" was likely to be related to the luck attribute of the survivors.

After thinking about it, he pulled out a small sachet from his bag, which was a one-time consumable made by a Survivor player in the guild who had the special status of 'Spice Master', and when used, it would increase a small amount of luck.

"Let's try again."

Cangyue Wuming has no words, he will only support the president with actions, he has always been like this, talk less, do more, and always understand the meaning of his partner for the first time, so he has been serving as the assistant to the president since the establishment of the Cangyue Club.

After entering the fog this time, although the field of vision was still low, the road ahead was difficult to discern, and the whispers in the ears also increased compared to before, but this time the travel time was shorter than the previous two times, and soon, the white mist in front of him thinned, and then gradually appeared a bright golden light.

Finally, when the two of them successfully broke through the white fog, a small pond was revealed in front of their eyes, and the water in the pond rippled in a dazzling golden luster.

Found it, good luck spring!

Cangyue Changkong immediately took out a small jar from his bag, squatted down by the Fountain of Good Luck, and scooped up a jar of spring water.

As soon as the spring water entered the jar, the golden light vanished, and then the spring water diminished rapidly, and after a few seconds, there was only an empty jar left in Cangyue's empty hand.

"Well, I ran for nothing."

The elder tried again several times, and the results were the same, the jar he had brought with him could not hold the water of the Fountain of Good Luck at all.

"I'll have to go back to the hut in the woods and get a container for the spring."

Cangyue Changkong glanced at the game time in the upper left corner of his sight, showing that nearly twenty minutes had passed, and he didn't know if he could find the container of water in the forest hut before the killer entered the field.

……

Let's talk about Altaïr and Lao Cha here.

The two men followed the location described in the story chapter "The Imperial Tree", and along the way, except for the forest path, they made many long detours, and encountered no obstacles during the process.

It took nearly 10 minutes for them to walk out of the dark claustrophobic forest that covered the sky, and suddenly there was a towering tree that required at least five people to hug and a height of at least thirty or forty meters.

There is also a simple obstacle structure near the Imperial Tree, which is obviously convenient for survivors to use to deal with the killer after being chased into this area.

"This tree is really magnificent."

Lao Cha circled around the imperial tree and stepped forward to stroke the rough bark on the surface of the trunk.

Altaïr pulled out the page containing the bedtime story "The Imperial Tree", and after standing there and rereading it several times, he carefully examined the giant tree in front of him.

He knew that only by combining the giant tree in front of him with the story could he find the clues that existed in this area.

"There are a lot of golden fruits growing on the canopy!"

Lao Cha, who had examined the Imperial Tree closely, let out an exclamation, and Altaïr looked in the direction of his finger, and there were indeed dozens of golden fruits on the crown of the Imperial Tree.

"Judging from the content of the story, the clue to this imperial tree may be these golden fruits it bears."

Altaïr frowned, feeling that there was a second system that was testing the Survivor player.

"It's just...... The fruit grows almost on the top of the tree, and without tools, can it be picked by climbing with bare hands? ”

Thinking like this, the old tea over there had already completed the operation of climbing the tree with his bare hands on his behalf.

He grabbed the boil on the trunk of the tree, and barely climbed up about five or six meters, and found that the bark had no point of strength, and it was smooth to the touch, and he could not continue to climb at all.

This is definitely deliberate on the part of the system to tell survivors that climbing trees with their bare hands won't work.

"Damn, this tree is too slippery to go up at all."

Lao Cha could only swear and swipe down from the trunk of the tree with a curse.

Altaïr failed to find any useful clues on the page, and the rest of the bedtime story about 'Mark Picking the Golden Fruit' was a testament to the fact that the Golden Fruit was loved by the animals, and was not helpful in going up the tree to pick the fruit.

He had no choice but to step forward and take a closer look around the Imperial Tree, hoping to find any clues.

Halfway around the tree, a small green sapling growing on the ground caught Altaïr's attention.

There are not other companion plants growing under the imperial tree, but most of these plants are gray and inconspicuous, and they only act as a foil for the giant tree, only this small green sapling is particularly eye-catching.

Altaïr crouched down in front of the sapling, took a closer look, and noticed that the sapling was a little listless, and the only two leaves were dry, as if they were continuing to be moistened by the rain.

"What did you find?"

Old Tea walked over from the side, wondering why Altaïr was staring at a sapling for a long time.

"This sapling looks a little unusual, do you have water on you?" Altaïr asked.

"I'm not instigating the emperor to hide, I'm not afraid of being punished by the system, how can I bring water."

Lao Cha's tone was full of disdain, food and water are essential for instigating players, such players are good at hiding, and players who hide too long with system teammates will be punished with negative states such as 'hunger' and 'thirst', and in order to alleviate these negative states, it is necessary to carry food and water with them.

"I think the clue to 'The Imperial Tree' is on this sapling, and watering it with water may make some changes."

Altaïr stood up and conveyed his understanding to his teammates.

"Hey, didn't the two of Cangyue go looking for some good luck spring before, let them get some spring water to water this sapling, maybe ...... The sapling must also be watered with water from the Fountain of Good Luck to react. ”

Lao Cha Gui is a three-stage 70-point high game, and his brain is no worse than the other three Survivor players present, and he immediately thinks of the connection between the bedtime story "Good Luck Spring" and "The Emperor Tree" from the need for irrigation from the sapling.

"Let's go back, let's gather in the cabin in the forest first, those two goods are estimated to have brought the spring water."

Lao Cha's style of doing things is relatively urgent, and after feeling that there are no clues to collect here, he immediately thinks about going to other places and making full use of the 30 minutes of preparation time before the killer comes.

He led the way he had come, and Altaïr glanced back to see if there was anything wrong, and then followed Old Tea back to the cabin in the woods.
