Chapter 4: The Lost Garden

After leaving Baisha Village and walking some distance to the north, the system prompts you to enter the [Barbarian Canyon]. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

[Undead Barbarian LV67], the highest-level monster unit near Baisha Village, the weapons are mainly axes and scimitars, the skin is rough and thick, the attack has a tearing effect and a corrosive effect, and the action is relatively slow.

The purpose of the trip of the three of them was to find the abandoned garden in the depths of the Barbarian Canyon, because there were few high-end players here, so Nobuyi and the others were not in a hurry.

[Shock], use a heavy weapon to hit the ground violently, causing a certain amount of damage to enemies within the range and attaching a slowdown effect, with a very small probability of triggering a stun effect, which is Mu Sen's Warhammer skill.

Seeing that the hatred of the undead barbarian, who was as slow as a snail, was attracted by Mu Sen, the thin man pulled a certain distance and threw out the dark short spear in his hand.

[Precision Throw], use a throwing weapon to perform a long-range strike on enemy units, the damage increases with the increase of accuracy, and can be accompanied by an attack effect.

Keeping a safe distance, the thin man simply unleashed the stunt [Spearhead's Fury], and several black black spearheads turned the poor undead barbarian into a hedgehog. These attacks did not inflict lethal damage to the undead barbarian, who roared hoarsely and launched a dash with his shriveled legs.

[Brute Force Charge], dashes forward for a certain distance, dealing damage to units along the path and having a chance to inflict a stun or knockback effect.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the thin man jumped out of the undead barbarian's skill trajectory and kept running to open up enough safety distance.

The undead barbarian stared at the empty eyes and stood in place shaking his head, trying to wake up from the sequelae of his skills as soon as possible. Shinshu carried a long sword and jumped up like a kangaroo, and a sword was aimed at the rotten neck of the undead barbarian, and before the undead barbarian could react, Shinshu had already turned to it and stabbed it fiercely, and then jumped out of the undead barbarian's attack range in time without being greedy. The undead barbarian had no choice but to mechanically rotate his body to follow the letter tree, but he could not cause any damage to the letter tree. Shinshu ran two steps around the undead barbarian and jumped a little, and when he found that the hatred of the undead barbarian was attracted by the thin man, he immediately stepped forward to make up for a few swords. If you rely on Xinshu's style of play alone, it is estimated that it will take a lot of effort to kill an undead barbarian with rough skin and thick flesh, but with the tacit cooperation of the thin man and Mu Sen, this lone unlucky ghost will be solved quickly.

Crash.

The undead barbarian turned into a pile of wreckage, and as a few rays of white light dissipated, there were a few more pieces of equipment on the ground.

[Broken Iron Axe], [Fragments of Teeth of the Undead Barbarian], [Rotten Leather Boots], [Broken Silver Coins], all of them are worthless rags, and the letter tree and his party are very unhappy to pick up the things dropped by the undead barbarians, after all, no matter how small the mosquito legs are, they are also meat.

The common currency in the Blade of Bonds is the Conch Coins, which are divided into Gold Conch Coins, Silver Conch Coins, and Copper Conch Coins, like the silver coins dropped by the undead barbarians can be exchanged for Conch Coin at a designated location, and the exchange rate will not change under normal circumstances, but a kind of broken silver coin requires multiple pieces to be exchanged for a Silver Conch Coin.

Open the game map, and the land that occupies two-thirds of the map resembles a conch, which is also the origin of its name, and the main area of activity of the Bonding Blade player is the conch continent.

As you go deeper into the depths of the Barbarian Rift, dilapidated improvised tents and broken tombstones are everywhere that are supposed to be spawn points for these undead Barbarians.

Logically speaking, the undead barbarians don't need these dilapidated tents, because they belong to the undead monsters, and they can't be idle to set up tents to play, and the system has no need to build habitats for the undead barbarians. Then it can only be said that these tents were set up by the barbarians before they became undead barbarians, and they now gather in them from time to time, and they scream up and down twice. This also confirms Xinshu's guess from the side, originally Xinshu thought that there would be something valuable in it, and he gave up after drilling a few tents and touching a nose of dust.

The only comforting thing about the undead barbarian is that the experience points are relatively rich, and the people such as Shinshu and Thin Man have come to farm monsters a few times recently, so they know a little about the surrounding terrain. The three of them were not in a hurry or impatient, and at the same time they cleaned up the undead barbarians who were blocking the way along the way, and went up the Baisha River.

"There are almost no monsters around here." The thin man sat down and ate some dry food to replenish his strength, and the abundant physical strength could speed up the recovery of HP.

"I've been busy for almost a morning, and I'm almost hungry." Mu Sen carried a war hammer, and no amount of dry food could solve the real feeling of fasting.

"It should be the source of the Baisha River in front, and the fat is about to be eaten in your mouth, and the two of you are starting to get tired of it." Nobuki looked at the upper reaches of the narrowing river, feeling refreshed, in stark contrast to the other two.

"This piece of meat won't be rancid here, are you working after eating?" The thin man rubbed his stomach and said in a consultative tone.

"Okay, ten minutes." Xinshu knows that the time is indeed not early, and the rest of the things will not be completed in a while and a half, and it is not unreasonable to sort out the state and do things.

After finishing their meal, the three of them reassembled, this time planning to find the Lost Garden in one go. Continuing along the headwaters of the Baisha River, two high mountains form a natural barrier to the north, the east side of the river is dominated by rocky beaches and thorny bushes, and the west side is the largest tributary, which extends to the foot of the western mountain.

According to the task prompts, the three of them struggled to distinguish the tributaries hidden in the dense weeds, and finally came to a small lawn at the foot of the mountain on the west side, which was very quiet and did not have any extra noise.

"It's too remote here, and if it weren't for the quest prompts, who would have thought that there would be a garden hidden in this place where birds don't, and a garden hidden in this fart place?" As far as the eye can see is a nondescript grove, and it is impossible to hide a garden on a large scale. The thin man cursed, and lifted his foot to check the woods on the other side of the lawn.

"Don't move!" Nobuki grabbed him, then pulled up a wriggling rodent creature from the package menu.

[Big-eared gophers], low-grade ingredients, many predators are very fond of this rodent with puff ears. There is no need to worry about this rodent being killed, and their amazing fecundity guarantees that their race will be ubiquitous in the wild.

Shinshu leaned back slightly, then threw out the arm that had withdrawn behind his back and activated the basic skill [Throw], and the big-eared gopher that kept swinging its limbs flew like a small cannonball to the grove on the other side of the lawn.

Whew!

Without warning, several long gray-white strips stabbed at the big-eared gopher, and disappeared in an instant after contact. At the same time, the branches and leaves of a giant tree at the edge of the woods squirmed as if they were alive, and some spots of light spilled out of the branches and leaves, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

System prompt: [Cannibal Tree LV72], also known as the Dryad. It grows in sparsely populated areas and is said to be a guardian used by demons to watch over treasures. The Cannibal Tree has a strong regeneration ability and defense, and will confuse its prey with bright fruits, and then attack the prey with rattans and several roots, and the prey's remains will be absorbed by the cannibal tree. Since the Man-Eating Tree hunts and kills creatures that covet treasures, there may be some stale relics left near the trunk.

"Oh, my eyes didn't bloom, what's going on." Mu Sen couldn't believe his eyes and sat down on the ground.

"The man-eating tree, which has appeared in the Xijue jungle, is a difficult opponent, and generally requires a certain number of players to cooperate to defeat it, and the intelligence dealer has its information." Nobuki stroked his forehead, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he began to think of a way. Those spots of light spilling from the foliage are a kind of glowing bugs that use the man-eating tree as a nest, and perhaps there is some kind of symbiotic relationship between them. It is said that at night insects have a certain chance of moving in groups, and at that time, the cannibal tree is wrapped in glowing insects, which is very beautiful.

"The highest level of the three of us is only the letter tree that has just been promoted to level 69, from the intelligence point of view, this is a small boss, the recovery and defense capabilities are excellent, and an elite team of more than ten people must be dispatched to kill it." The skinny man's painful appearance is not so much a pity that he can't solve this boss, but more of a concern for the loot that the cannibal tree can burst.

"No, the boiled duck is flying again, and the garden must be behind the woods." Mu Sen threw the hammer on the ground, his face annoyed.

"Who said you have to kill it, you remove the excess equipment and keep yourself at the highest agility, and we'll rush over!" After Nobuki finished speaking, he began to disarm the heavy equipment on his body.

"Is that okay?" The Skinny Man was a little incredulous, the Man-Eating Tree was of a high level, and maintaining a higher agility meant removing the armor, which would be easy to kill. If killed within range of the Man-Eating Tree, it is difficult for the other two people to have a chance to pick up the equipment dropped by the deceased, which is undoubtedly a risky act for the deceased.

"I'll make the bait." Nobuki kept swiping his fingers to adjust the equipment bar, and at the same time reminded the dumbfounded thin man and Mu Sen beside him, "I shouted to start, and you immediately rushed into the woods along the edge of the lawn." At this time, even a fool can see that the attack range of the man-eating tree is almost the same as that of the lawn, and the edge is perhaps the weakest link of the man-eating tree's attack.

"What?" Mu Sen put away the war hammer, and before he could quite understand what Shinki meant, the thin man led him to the edge of the lawn.

Seeing that the thin man who was pulling Mu Mori was ready, Nobuki shouted and rushed into the lawn. At the same time, Thin Man and Mu Sen rushed to the woods along the edge of the lawn.

Boom.

Countless gray roots broke through the ground, like a poisonous snake that found its prey and flocked to the intruder letter tree, after the distance from the letter tree was shortened to a certain range, the roots of the tree accelerated like a spring and stabbed at him, the letter tree raised the long sword in his hand to cut off the first root, and the other roots that followed instantly filled the void, looking at the gray roots in front of him, the letter tree waved his sword to resist, while retreating again and again, as his leg was pierced by the roots, the letter tree's vision flashed a faint red light, which means that he was hurt. Shinki hesitated for a moment, chose to give up and continue to entangle, turned around and ran in the direction of the thin man and Mu Sen.

When the thin man and Mu Mori saw the letter tree that had attracted a large number of wriggling roots running towards them, they immediately messed up their legs and feet, and quickened their pace and ran in the direction of the woods.

"Ah Shu, I knew you couldn't be trusted!" The thin man, who finally came to his senses, cursed as he ran. In my memory, Xinshu is often the most prone to chaos when he is serious, and I thought that he would sacrifice his life for righteousness this time, but in the end it attracted the hatred of the cannibal tree.

"Stop talking, don't stop." Nobuki was the latecomer, overtaking Skinny and Kimori to run into the woods first, which stimulated the potential of Skinny and Kimori, and they arrived immediately. Upon entering the woods, the clusters slowly sank into the lawn as if nothing had happened.

"Don't worry about it, a boss like the Cannibal Tree can only be killed with a high degree of cooperation between multiple teams, and the three of us can't consume it alone." Nobuki re-equipped his brown leather armor and the sword he had put away when he fled, and walked deeper into the woods with his feet raised.

Walking through the gaps in the trees, it didn't take long for a roar to sound in my ears, and when I came to the edge of the other side of the woods, my vision suddenly became clear, and a white bond hung on the mountainside not far away, and the ties gathered at the foot of the mountain into a small sparkling lake, and the water vapor was thick. Xinshu and his entourage cautiously approached and found that there were schools of colorful fish swimming back and forth in the lake, I don't know if it was affected by the light, and the bottom of the lake was dark and autumn.

"This is the source of that tributary in the canyon, and the Lost Garden should be nearby." Mu Sen took a deep breath, feeling that the whole person was much more relaxed, the game can be so fake and real, without experiencing it in person, it is indescribable.

The letter tree continued along the shore of the lake, which was overgrown with weeds and the remains of some gray-and-white buildings scattered among them, showing a scene of broken walls. Nobuki took some effort to find the stone arch covered in vines, and although the ruthless years have made the stone arch lose its former brilliance, you can still feel the majestic momentum of this huge arch when you get closer. The stone slabs around the stone arch that should have been neatly paved were almost completely damaged, and the weeds writhed stubbornly through the cracks in the stone, as if mocking the garden's glorious past.

"These are statues of the Earth race." The thin man came to the small square in front of the stone arch, and carefully examined the exquisite statues in the fountain in front of him, which had long dried up, and the most striking feature of the earth race was the two short horns on the forehead. The statues had long since been dilapidated, some had lost a part of their bodies, some had broken their waists, and some had simply left a lone pillar. Shinki walked towards the only intact statue, the mottled marks of time beneath it, and the moss mark that extended from his right eye to his jaw was clearly visible, like a tear stain left after crying.

Passing through the stone arches into the dilapidated Abandoned Garden, Shinshu looked around as he walked his steps, and his vision gradually blurred, and the shadows reminiscent of the garden's glorious past: winding paths, well-manicured vegetation, statues spewing out clear lake water, all kinds of mischievous little creatures, and the silver bell-like laughter of the Descendants of the Gods. An ingenious statue of the goddess stands safely in the center of the garden, the corners of her mouth are slightly raised, her eyes are as deep as the sky, and her long dress cannot hide her graceful body.

Nobuki didn't have time to care about these scenes, and what he was most interested in now was whether there were props like treasure chests.

"That's when your talent skills come in handy." The thin man sat down on the ground and shouted at the letter tree that had turned over even a stone and looked at it for a long time.
