Jumping off the bed barefoot, Chen Yuan clenched his fists excitedly, and the reward he received this time was completely unexpected.

Pulling the wooden chair apart, Chen Yuan took out the magic letter paper from his bag, and after easing his excitement a little and thinking about the wording for a while, Chen Yuan began to pick up the pen and write on the letterhead.

Now that they have won Seth's request, Chen Yuan's trip to the forest elves is undoubtedly going to be extended.

Earlier, I had made an appointment with my father about the approximate time of the return trip when I set off, and now that the journey is going to be extended, it is natural that I need to write a letter back to the city of griffons to report to my father that he is safe.

Of course, another purpose of writing the letter is also because Chen Yuan wants to talk about what he has encountered along the way in front of his father.

first described the 'Fountain of Life' battle vividly, and then wrote the meaning that he was invited to participate in the trial and could not return in time, perfect.

After waxing and sealing the letters, Chen Yuan easily found the magic letter mailing place in this living area after inquiring about the nearby forest elf people, and after feeding one of the 'Traveling Birds' some rations, the 'Traveling Birds' flew away with Chen Yuan's letters.

.....

In the early morning, the sun shines through the canopy of trees to illuminate the hut where Chen Yuan lives.

Opening the door, Chen Yuan, who had already been prepared, walked to the meeting place of the 'Ancient Wood Trial' as agreed, and after coming to the waiting area of the trial, Chen Yuan saw at a glance that it was densely packed with forest elves who participated in the competition, and hundreds of forest elves formed their own circles and talked about this trial enthusiastically.

"John! This way! This way! ”

After observing for a while, Chen Yuan finally found Eve's team in the crowd, and Eve also happened to see Chen Yuan, and jumped and waved her hand for fear that Chen Yuan would not notice her.

"Good morning, Eve."

"Uh-huh, good morning. Let me introduce you to the members of our team. ”

"Vol Walker, the main attacker, is the 'Winged Light Tree', Butterfly Hera, the healer, is the 'Nature's Grace', and finally I am in charge of battlefield control, and the battle is the 'Heart of the Vine'."

Well..... Chen Yuan's gaze swept over the members of Eve's team one by one with Eve's introduction, Wal was tall and thin, with a typical ranger body type; Both Crewe and Pirna have a sense of composure, just that it's a pity that they don't see their animal companions; Lionar is the coldest-looking of all the members, and the magic fluctuations that can't be hidden in his body should be very strong; Butterfly, big beauty, but in fact, most of the forest elves are either handsome guys or big beauties (except for Seth's kind). As for Eve, I didn't need to repeat it after seeing it a few days ago.

The six current team members plus Chen Yuan's own temporary team members made a total of seven people, all of whom had reached at least the third-order elite rank.

Among them, Eve, Butterfly, and Wall are all LV.19, just one step away from the fourth order. And the twin hunters and Leonardo are both LV.18. Chen Yuan's adventure level was the lowest in the whole team, and he had just crossed the level line of the third order.

Judging from the lifespan of the forest elves, it is not an exaggeration to say that all the forest elf members in the team can be said to be geniuses.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, my name is John, a defender, a third-order, and a 'Traceless Iron Wall'."

"'Traceless Iron Wall', the unheard of defender combat position, is it a rare sequence... So John, what genre are you good at? Wall asked suddenly.

"Genre? Well, to be honest, I don't know what genre I belong to. I'm good at survival and area defense, and I have a bit of a crowd healing ability, but I don't have a good grasp of offense and control. ”

“..... I don't know my genre and I don't have the ability to control it!? Eve, this ....."

"..... "Is this disliked, Chen Yuan also felt quite helpless, after all, he is basically going on a wild path, and the amount of knowledge he has not obtained is much, and the key is that he has not mastered the ability called 'mockery' with limited range skills, and it is indeed not strange that people are suspicious.

"Smack."

Eve clapped her hands, "John's strength You have many opportunities to recognize it in the trial, and I believe in John's strength as a defender." Now, let's start sorting out our gear and checking what we bring, the trial is less than half an hour away, and we're going to take first place this time! ”

"Oh!"

Everyone could only respond in unison, put down their doubts about Chen Yuan's strength, and began to check their pre-war preparations.

Chen Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately Eve relieved herself. This is going to be changed, Chen Yuan didn't bother to argue, it's a big deal to quit the team, but this time he has already promised Seth to help, it's not good to leave the team with the front foot and the back foot.

I don't have any equipment to tidy up, but under the boredom, Chen Yuan suddenly remembered that he still seems to have some inventory that has not been used, and the evolution stone given by the previous task and the extraordinary skill stone just obtained this time are still stored in the system space, and now the conditions are met and it coincides with the trial, so it is just right to use it to improve the strength.

"System, use the Evolution Stone to evolve the 'Defensive Stance' and 'King Kong is not bad', and then use the 'Transcendent Skill Stone'."

'The command has been executed, please go to the system module to view the specific data'

Path of Guardianship (Transcendental) (Passive) (LV.MAX): While holding a shield and maintaining a defensive stance, the stamina cost is halved, the ailment resistance is increased by 40%, the toughness is increased by 40%, and the next attack is immune, ignoring its collateral every 10 seconds.

Impregnable (Buff) (LV.MAX): Immune to all attacks and powers, and clears all of your ailments. Duration: 10 seconds, Cooldown: 120 seconds, no cost.

Heavy Ring Gravitational Field (Weakening) (LV.1): Centered on the self, all enemy targets within a 20 meter radius are affected by the effects of 'Heavy Pressure' (Heavy Pressure: Movement Speed is slowed by 12%, Attack Speed is slowed by 8%, and Jump Speed is reduced by 5) and Traction (Traction: Pulling the target affected by this effect towards the caster) The effect of this skill ignores judgment and is immune to resistance, and the effect will continue to consume the caster's stamina for the duration of the effect. Cooldown: 120 seconds, Cost: 1% stamina/sec

Chen Yuan had not been able to intuitively understand the role of the skill of defensive posture before, and it was not until the battle in that battle a few days ago that Chen Yuan really felt the uniqueness of the skill of defensive posture. Therefore, the first thing Chen Yuan thought of this skill upgrade was to upgrade his defensive posture to see the effect.

Not to mention anything else, the effect added at the end of the light was simply a tiger with wings for Chen Yuan.

And King Kong's incorruptible body is also as Chen Yuan expected, directly evolving from damage reduction to damage immunity, the qualitative change means that Chen Yuan can use this to avoid attack damage for up to 10 seconds, if Chen Yuan can use 'Solid Gold' when facing the dark element explosion before, he can completely reduce his pressure at that time.

As for the extra skills at the end... Coincidentally.

His front foot is still disgusted because he has not mastered the 'taunt' skill, and now he immediately has a 'taunt' skill with a strong explosion.

In the real world, you don't want to be in the game world, where the so-called 'taunt' skill in the game is a joke in the real world, not only is it unattainable, but even IQ will not allow it. Therefore, for the vast majority of defenders, the wide range of soft control skills is equivalent to the ability to 'taunt', which not only ignores most judgments, but also has a control effect that lasts long enough.

However, what Chen Yuan is concerned about now is not about the effect of skills.....

"System, I used the 'Extraordinary Skill Stone', why did you give me an ordinary skill?"

'Skills are different from specializations, which only have levels, and there are no ranks, and 'transcendent skills' refer to skills with special effects that have been significantly evolved or have a high level of strength.

I see?

Chen Yuan carefully looked at the description of the new skill, and there were two active 'taunt' skills with two types of control, this type of skill Chen Yuan had seen before, and the high-level defenders in the last battle had used it many times.

Although the control effect attached to these skills is often weak, and the effect seems to be not good, it is better in a wide range, ignoring resistance, and the effect of restricting the group is particularly prominent. As long as the defender is alive, the effect of this skill will not be interrupted, and it can also play a pretty good role in protecting the team.

"It's complete with the 'Barbed Shield', and the more I fight, the happier I am."

Sighing in his heart, Chen Yuan, who was lucky this time, waited for the trial to begin, and this wave of enhancement just made up for some of Chen Yuan's incomparably lacking abilities now.

About half an hour later, with a slight tremor of the platform, a fresher breath began to pour out from the slowly opening 'Trial Gate', and the pure vitality and natural aura turned into a wisp of breeze and began to envelop the entire venue.

"The trial has begun, let's go in when we're ready." Eve stood up and looked at the entrance of the 'Gate of Trials', the 'Trial of Ancient Wood' is the same as entering early and late, as long as you don't miss the last entry time, so most of the teams still choose to wait, and only a few teams choose to enter immediately at this time.

"Roar!"

"Purr."

Two beast roars rang out, and seeing that the trial had begun, Crewe and Pirna summoned their animal companions, and a mighty lion and a slightly smaller bear appeared to the side of the team in a flash of light.
