198, treasure hunt

Wang Zheng was greatly surprised by the appraisal results, and the actual use of the Star Orb was really far beyond his imagination.

He didn't expect that this pearl, which seemed to be just a dazzling luxury, could have so many special practical functions, and could even replace the Void Crystal to repair the portal.

However, he didn't immediately determine how many Star Orbs do you need to consume to repair the portal, but cautiously asked, "How many Star Orbs do you need to consume to repair the portal?" ”

"It depends on the size of the orb. The Orb of this size in the hands of the Origin Host only needs twenty. If the number is insufficient, you can use a small orb instead. The smaller the size of the orb, the more quantity is needed. ”

Wang Zheng was speechless.

The orb in his hand was the size of a fist. In the belly of the snake, although there are more than a thousand star orbs, there are only more than ten orbs of such a large size.

"Fortunately, I asked one more question, otherwise wouldn't it be a big loss?"

Wang Zheng pouted to himself and gave up repairing the portal with the Star Orb.

This Star Orb is versatile.

People can eat it to stay old, prolong their life, and increase their resistance to the storm of time and space. Even space-time storms can be resisted, so wouldn't ordinary space-type spells, such as "banishment" and the like, be more effective in resisting?

It can also be used to craft storage gear such as spatial rings, spatial backpacks, and even large items to float in the air like an "anti-gravity" device.

The Star Orb was so practical, he wouldn't have used it in place of the Void Crystal in a hurry.

Anyway, the existence of the Star Orb, as well as the identification of the plug-in, have indirectly confirmed that there is a space-time rift in the misty swamp. And where there is a natural space-time rift, there is a great chance that there will be a Void Crystal.

Since the chance of finding the Void Crystal is not low, why rush and waste the Star Orb?

After making a decision, Wang Zheng beckoned everyone: "Come, everyone help together and take out all the orbs." Well, after taking it out, give it to me to keep it first, and when you go back, you will come back to reward you for your meritorious deeds. ”

The three legendary warriors had no opinion on this. Even Nick has no objections.

Although they participated in the killing of the giant hydra, Nick even made the hydra schizophrenic with a song of chaos, which can be regarded as the first achievement, if according to the general adventure rules, if the orb is divided into twenty parts, Wang Zheng and the four people who killed six snake heads can be divided into ten parts in total. Nick had four of them. Three legendary warriors, each with two portions.

As for the two casters in charge of paddling and shouting 6, they can reward one or two small orbs depending on their mood.

But that's just a normal risk-taking scenario.

The actual situation is that the three legendary warriors and Nick are all Wang Zheng's prisoners of war, and strictly speaking, they are Wang Zheng's "personal property".

They belong to Wang Zheng, their lives belong to Wang Zheng, and the merits they have made and the spoils they have obtained all belong to Wang Zheng.

Distribute the spoils of war to them, that is Wang Zheng's mercy. There is no distinction between them, and that is also a matter of course.

Therefore, no one had any opinion on Wang Zheng's request, and they all honestly picked the jewel in the snake's belly and handed it over to Wang Zheng.

Chun-Li holds a notebook and keeps accounts next to it. The orbs handed over by the people were roughly divided into five classes according to their size, and the number of each class was recorded one by one.

After Chunli recorded it, Wang Zheng put the orb into the space backpack.

In a short time, the jewel in the snake's belly has been looted.

After rummaging through it carefully and finding a few missing small orbs, Chunli reported to Wang Zheng: "There are a total of 1,377 star orbs. Of these, there are eighteen of them with a diameter of eight to ten centimeters. Those six to eight centimeters in diameter have ......"

After Chunli's report was completed, Wang Zheng nodded with satisfaction and released a new task: "Next, in addition to the Void Crystal, we will also collect the Star Orb as much as possible. Nick, do you know the habits of the star be? ”

The Star Orb is a pearl conceived by the Star Shell. The Hydra has so many Star Orbs in its belly, just because this swamp beast likes to devour Star Shells.

And the giant hydra, as a misty swamp overlord-level fierce beast, must be extremely rare in number, and maybe even just like that. The good thing of hunting a hydra and getting a large number of star orbs is probably only encountered once. If you want to search for more Star Orbs, you still have to find Star Shell.

"Xingchenbei only comes out at night."

Nick thought back for a moment and said, "They hide in the mud during the day, and only at night do they come to the surface. Adventurers who have been to the Misty Swamp before don't have the ability to kill Hydra. They can only venture into the swamp at night and try their luck in search of the star shell. If you're lucky, find a few star shells and you'll have a chance to make a fortune. If you were unlucky, you died in the swamp. ”

Wang Zheng held his chin in his hand and muttered, "Will you come out at night?" Well, in that case, let's continue our search for the Void Crystal. If you can find the Void Crystal directly, then leave immediately. But if you can't find it, camp inside the swamp tonight and collect the star shells by the way. ”

The misty swamps at night are treacherous. Not only is there a fog that obscures the vision, but all kinds of fierce beasts in the swamp will also be active at night.

However, even the overlord-level fierce beast giant hydra is hanging, and the ordinary swamp fierce beast can't help Wang Zheng and the others. Just pay attention to the quagmire trap is.

So the group continued to wander around the swamp, looking for the Void Crystal.

The Misty Swamp is extremely large in area, and the internal environment is complex, with flatlands, depressions, hills, and woods. And no one knows where the Void Crystal will appear, so they can only wander around aimlessly to try their luck.

However, there is already a Star Orb that can replace the Void Crystal, although Wang Zheng is not willing to take the Star Orb instead of the Void Crystal, but he has a spare tire in his hand, so he is not in a hurry, and he can take a little time and try his luck.

Searching all the way, all kinds of bizarre illusions jumped into everyone's eyes from time to time.

Some of them are fleeting and fleeting. Some have existed for a long time, confusing people's ears and eyes, and confusing the real with the false.

When they first saw those visions, everyone was amazed and amazed. But if you see too much, you will not be surprised and turn a blind eye.

The crowd also encountered several fierce beasts on the way.

There are swamp giant crocodiles more than ten meters long, man-eating swamp frogs as big as baby elephants, and various poisonous snakes, giant scorpions, and monitor lizards.

Every kind of monster is a dangerous creature for the average adventurer, and it can cost with lives.

But for Wang Zheng and his party, the so-called "fierce beasts" are just ordinary beasts, which can be killed at will. Its threat level is not as good as the quagmire that even legends can sink in seconds.

After searching until the evening, the Void Crystal was not found.

And as the sun sets, the fog returns. In the sun, the misty swamp, with only a hint of mist, was gradually covered with a thick grayish mist. Although it is not so much that you can't see your fingers, your vision is also greatly affected. Even with the eyesight of a legendary shooter, he could barely see a hundred meters away.

It was still not completely dark. If it gets dark, the view will be greatly reduced.

Xingchenbei will not come out until night, and at this time, the vision is gradually affected, but it is not the time for Xingchenbei to be active, so Wang Zheng decided to stop the search and find a place to camp first.

They found a sparse forest surrounded by mud, entered the woods through a winding path, cut down the trees, cleared the clearing, and set up camp.

In a short time, a small simple camp was set up. In the middle of the camp, a bonfire was lit, and on the fire, a small swamp crocodile with its skin and guts had been treated, and a swamp frog the size of an adult boar.

Elves, assassins, shield warriors, and Nick, who are experienced in the wilderness, volunteer to take charge of the barbecue. And their craftsmanship is indeed quite exquisite, roasting crocodiles and swamp frogs to crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, spraying fragrant oil, and eating Wang Zheng and others are full of praise.

After dinner, it was completely dark, and under the fog, the view was limited to fifty meters.

But the stars, like the light of the stars, pierced through the fog and met the eyes of Wang Zheng and others in the forest.

"Xingchenbei is starting to come out to breathe!"

Nick perked up and said with some distress: "The light of the Star Orb can penetrate the mist and spread far away. But this does not mean that we can easily find the Star Shell and obtain the Star Orb by following the light. Because the star shellfish mostly move in the mud and rarely near the shore. Even if you see the light of the star orb, you can often only look at the treasure and sigh. ”

Wang Zheng said: "Let's go and see first." Sainz and Old Xi stayed. ”

Got up and left the camp, looked in the direction where the stars shone brightest, and walked into the mist. With the exception of Sainz and Heathcot, the two spellcasters, everyone else followed Wang Zheng.

They walked to the edge of the woods, stopped beyond the mire, and looked up, and saw shells with starry spots on their pitch-black shells, floating above the mire, opening their shells to reveal dazzling orbs.

Most of the shells were the size of a basin, and most of the orbs in them were the smallest. That is, less than two centimeters in diameter. There were only a few shells, as large as a tabletop, and the orbs inside, more than two centimeters in diameter and less than four centimeters in diameter.

Orbs over four centimeters in diameter are almost impossible to see, let alone the finest orbs with a diameter of eight to ten centimeters.

Seeing the star shell in the mire, Wang Zheng realized how lucky he must have been to find so many large orbs from the belly of the giant hydra.

"It's good that I didn't consume the orb at will and repair the portal."

Just as he was satisfied with his decision, he heard Nick say bitterly: "What a pity! The shells here are too far from the shore for us to reach! ”

He was right, the nearest star shell, more than twenty meters away from the shore of the swamp, was simply out of reach.

"Shall I try?" Ah Qing was eager to try. She is very easy and confident that she will not be trapped in the swamp.

But Wang Zheng didn't dare to let her try it easily.

This swamp is very evil, it is likely to be affected by the space-time rift, and it has some special space-time attributes, and everything is sinking in seconds.

The reason why Xingchen Bei and the swamp beasts can move freely in the swamp should be because they are also affected by the rift in time and space and adapt to the swamp environment.

While he was thinking about how to catch Xingchenbei, the little dragon girl suddenly poked her head out of his hair, grabbed the hair on his forehead with her two front paws, and grinned: "Stupid, don't you know to ask me for help?" ”
