"Wow, that's a lot of monsters!"

Ye Chen showed the surname of the skill book, and Xiao Ai was amazed before he had time, and on the ground around him, monsters suddenly appeared, and these monsters were almost all vine-like plant monsters.

"Let's go back to the city first."

Ye Chen glanced at the situation and knew that he couldn't stay outside for a long time, so he used the Huicheng scroll with Xiao Ai for the first time.

"Damn! What's going on, how did so many plant monsters appear all at once. ”

"That is, at a glance, the entire desert ground is full of endless monsters, and if you don't run fast, you will die."

"You're okay, let's not be surrounded by monsters, we can't run if we want to, and we won't be wiped out after long!"

"Go to the NPC and see what's going on."

After the two returned to the city, they went to find Master Ethel, but on the road to the desert giant city, which was quite empty, there were many more players at once, and judging from the words of these players, it was obvious that they were also forced to return to the city by the monsters that suddenly appeared outside, or they were simply besieged to death by monsters.

"There really is a new mission, everyone come and have a look."

Not long after, someone shouted, and many people immediately surrounded him.

"Let's go to Master Ethel first."

Xiao Ai looked at Ye Chen, but Ye Chen did not hesitate, and continued to walk towards the position of Master Ethel with Xiao Ai.

The reason for this situation is that Ye Chen estimated that it must have been caused by the black light when Gerald finally died, which changed the normal dungeon process, and their hidden mission should have been almost completed, at this time, they should have asked Master Ethel to receive the reward before making plans.

"You're back? Things are not going well in the city right now, have you found Gerald? Master Ethel asked immediately when he saw the two of them.

"Gerald has been killed by us, and this skill book, which fell from him, seems to have something to do with you, Master Ethel." Ye Chen took out the "Cultivation Technique: Steel Cactus" from his backpack and handed it to Master Ethel.

Although this skill book did not restrict learning when he got it in his hand, Ye Chen was not in a hurry to use it, and after thinking about it for a while, he brought it back.

There is a special surname description in this skill book, which should be the proof of killing Gerald, and if there is only a skill book, and there is no corresponding skill seed, it is useless for him to learn it. Ye Chen is not stupid, he is not in a hurry to learn, and judging from the current situation, it is no longer correct to learn this skill book first.

"Steel Cactus...... Alas, this book was obtained by me and Gerald when I was young, and for me, this book did not do much, and then I gave it to Gerald, but unfortunately, Gerald ended up on a road of no return. Now that he is dead, and so many plants have suddenly appeared around the city, then it is certain that the city's water source problem is also his secret tricks, taking away the water source, secretly planting so many plants, otherwise in this desert city, it is impossible to cultivate such a large number of plants. ”

Master Ethel gently stroked the cover of the Steel Cactus Skill Book with his palm and said with emotion.

"Alright, now that everything is clear, thank you two adventurers for your help. This young adventurer, you are also a botanist, and the method of planting this steel cactus and the method of obtaining seeds will be handed over to you as a reward. ”

The hidden mission is obviously over here, and Master Ethel doesn't talk much nonsense, and directly starts to hand out rewards.

System Hint: You've earned Plantation: Steel Cactus!

System Hint: You have obtained the "F-Rank Steel Cactus Seed Purchase Voucher"!

The Steel Cactus Skill Book was officially in hand, and what Master Ethel gave to Ye Chen was not the Steel Cactus Seed Cultivation Manual, but the purchase voucher, which made Ye Chen a little surprised.

The purpose of this sub-purchase voucher is to allow players to spend money in the professional union to directly purchase the corresponding plant seeds, and generally speaking, only relatively rare plant seeds will have purchase vouchers. And this kind of sub-purchase voucher is also graded, this purchase voucher that Ye Chen got is the lowest F-level, and the number and number of seeds that can be purchased will be very small, if you want to upgrade, you can only work hard to brush the task of the professional union.

"As for this little priest, you seem to have a very interesting thing on you, and it just so happens that I have a similar thing, so I'll give it to you."

When Ye Chen muttered that he was afraid that he would have to go to the professional union to brush the task in the future, Master Ethel then looked at Xiao Ai, and then handed over something that he didn't know what to do.

"Thank you, Master Ethel." Xiao Ai thanked excitedly, it seems that he got a pretty good thing.

"Well, the matter about Gerald is over, but it doesn't stop with Gerald's death. I believe you have seen the army of plants outside, and in fact, before you returned, the citizens of our entire city had already held a meeting, and felt that it was impossible to defeat the army of plants outside, so they decided to hide in the ground for a while, and after a while, when the plants were sunburned to death due to lack of water, we would return to the surface.

However, once these plant armies invade the city, they will definitely cause huge losses to the city, so the citizens want to ask you adventurers to help resist the invasion of the plant army, I wonder if you are willing? ”

After Master Ethel rewarded the two of them with a hidden mission, he immediately issued them with a mission to protect the city.

System prompt: This task is the last task of the dungeon, after accepting the task, the more plant monsters you kill, the higher the dungeon progress, if you do not accept the task, you will leave the dungeon directly with the current dungeon progress!

A system prompt sounded, Ye Chen saw it, of course, he took over the task, and the system prompted: You accepted the task "Sworn Guard"!

Defend to the Death: Fight an endless army of plants until the last moment!

"Thank you, dear adventurer, we're going underground soon, here are some supplies, pick and choose."

Master Ethel saw that the two of them had accepted the task, and after thanking them, a list of items popped up in front of them.

The list of items is the same as what Ye Chen saw when he went to kill Gerald before, there are potions and time capsules for sale on it, the difference is that this time it is completely free.

Small time capsules can be purchased by a team of two, that is, this last mission, the system gives players an hour.

Ye Chen knew that this was not the only one he and Xiao Ai had this treatment, I am afraid that the teams that are still alive now have all received the same tasks and treatment, and some player teams that have not had much time have undoubtedly made a lot of money at this time.

As for the potion, it can be red and blue, and each can be replenished with 30 bottles.

"Good luck, adventurer!"

After Ye Chen and Xiao Ai finished replenishing, after Master Ethel gave a blessing, he left the house with a full charge, and disappeared, leaving only Ye Chen and Xiao Ai in the house.

"How far are you on your quest?"

Master Ethel disappeared, and Ye Chen looked at Xiao Ai.

The progress of the dungeon is related to the success or failure of Xiao Ai's other mission, and at this last moment, you can't give up all your efforts.

"After completing the hidden mission, it's 72%."

Xiao Ai looked at it and replied.

Ye Chen nodded, in some dungeons, because of the task, players on the same team may also have different dungeon progress, but now it seems that he and Xiao Ai's dungeon progress is still the same, and there is no deviation.

"It's still 8% away, go find a monster to brush the monster first, take your time, don't rush, we still have two hours to go, and we should be able to smoothly brush more than 80% of the progress."

"Good!"

...... "Haha, brothers, let's kill monsters!" ”

"If you're lucky, you might be able to get a golden weapon this time!"

The two of them went outside, in the huge desert city, and there were about two or three hundred people left at this time, and these players were all gathered in the city at this time.

It was originally a quest copy against the surname, but in the end it became a direct monster kill, and there was an extra hour of dungeon time, as long as the team's strength was not too weak, the team would undoubtedly be able to increase some more dungeon progress.

At this time, it can be said that everyone has the possibility of rushing to the gold weapon of the dungeon, so the atmosphere on the scene is much warmer all of a sudden.

"Cough, listen to me, how many plants are there, I believe everyone has seen it, there are more monsters than people, there is no doubt, we don't have to rob monsters at all, but we have to worry about whether they will be besieged and killed by monsters, so I think everyone might as well get together and kill monsters outside, so that there is still a response, and if you encounter a powerful monster, you can also kill them together, otherwise you will be separated, you may not be able to resist for long, and you will be killed by monsters one by one."

"Okay, that's a good idea, and I'm thinking about it."

"Agree, let's go out and kill together."

There is no competition, and there are many monsters, which also makes these players feel a little numb, at this time, getting together to kill monsters, is indeed a feasible method, and many people agree loudly.

"Brother Dust, what are we going to do?" Xiao Ai asked in a low voice.

"Of course, with them, if something happens, there are also people who act as shields." Ye Chen didn't think much about it, so he replied.

Really...... Xiao Ai sweated slightly, she vaguely felt that Ye Chen would say this, but she didn't expect that she really guessed it.

After deciding to get together to kill the monster, the nearby player teams all rushed over after hearing the news, and the people of the entire desert giant city were almost all gathered together at this time.

Then, this large team of more than 200 people walked out of the city.

"Hey, these hateful guys are still in the dungeon!"

Following behind the team, Xiao Ai suddenly said.
