Chapter 16: Dangerous Encounters with Nobles
I feel that the best deal is to go to this God's Seal and the key to the Ancient God's Workshop. I'm still a little way from level 60, but I'm sure it won't be long before I get there. However, I wasn't going to go directly to the God Workshop, because Wang Jin said that although it hadn't been opened for tens of thousands of years, it was precisely because of this that it was more dangerous. All kinds of trap beasts and traps have been opened on their own. If you are not fully prepared, you will be looking for death if you go in.
I didn't want to think so much about it, I went out of the royal city to the pass in the eastern suburbs, and hurried all the way, but strangely, I didn't find a poisonous scorpion. So I went to a place surrounded on three sides by mountains, full of waist-high weeds, but not many tall trees, and lit an incense stick that Wang Jin had given me. He said that this incense is called poison incense, which can attract all kinds of poisons. At first, there was no reaction, but just when I thought that the incense was ineffective, I suddenly heard the sound of a suo in the grass around me.
Standing on a large rock, I looked up and saw that the weeds were shaking irregularly in all directions. Worried that these weeds would affect my vision, I set the surrounding grass on fire with a flame blast. But unexpectedly, the grass was so watery that it burned only a small piece of land, and the fire was extinguished. In desperation, I could only put it a few more times. A radius of more than 30 meters was burned out of the surrounding area.
The sound of Suo Suo getting closer and closer all around, and soon saw a poisonous scorpion at least half a meter long appearing at the edge of the clearing. The spikes at the end of the tail are dark and shiny, and the eyes are glowing red, and at first glance they are not easy to mess with.
", what did this TM eat to grow up on? The earth is estimated to be 10 centimeters long can be on the news, this TM is at least 50 centimeters. I exclaimed. But the hand didn't stop. Thunder and fire skills are thrown around one by one, these poisonous scorpions' defense is really poor, I can kill a large area with a fire explosion technique, and soon there will be a layer of poisonous scorpion corpses around.
But there are so many of them, and the sound of Suo Suo is still continuing, and at a glance, the movement of the surrounding weeds has not only not decreased, but has a tendency to increase, and it is not a way to go on like this. My skills don't need to be chanted, and they're fast, but they also speed up the consumption of spiritual power. Now at level 45, after bringing the eternal necklace that Ling'er gave me, the spiritual power value is as high as more than 8,000, which is much more than the average level 60 magician. But it can't stand such rapid consumption.
On the system properties panel, my spiritual power is falling down in the flesh visible. I'll be consumed here sooner or later, and I don't think the spike on the tail of these scorpions is as bad as their defenses. Suddenly it occurred to me that the poison incense had not been extinguished, and it should be because of this reason that there were more and more poisonous scorpions. So he fought and retreated, and soon walked to the place where the poison incense was inserted, and snuffed out the burning poison incense. Then he walked to the "high ground" as he fought......
After consuming my three Elven Fountains, I finally returned to the stone. The strange thing is that although I have snuffed out the poison incense, the poisonous scorpions around me are still coming to me. At this time, I was sweating profusely, and I really wanted to sit down and rest, and I kept waving my staff, and my hands didn't feel numb, but the scorpion hadn't been eliminated yet, so I had no choice but to persevere. The spiritual power has dropped to the bottom, but I am reluctant to use the Elven Spring, and this thing is now used for one less. And there's no time for me to take drugs.
Thinking of the Elven Spring, I thought of the Elven Forest again, Ling'er was taken away by the original heart, Qingxuan died, I don't know what happened to Qingning, at that time, she seemed to be locked up, right?
There's a sentence that's just thatβI'm still in the mood to think of something else at this time, and I'll answer it now. Because the spiritual power has bottomed out, I can only attack these poisonous scorpions with the Brilliant Staff. Fortunately, the physical attack of this staff is not low (can such a sharp spike be low). Basically, just stab a poisonous scorpion and throw it far away. But here's the problem, this kind of efficiency is much lower than skills, one didn't pay attention, and a poisonous scorpion had already climbed up behind me, and it was a "needle" in my ass. "Ah...... "It hurts so much that a big man of mine called out directly." It hurts, it hurts unspeakably, and I haven't been stung by a scorpion on earth. I didn't expect to come here and be "pricked in the ass" by a scorpion. It hurts hotly in the ass. And I feel like my body is starting to get a little heavy.
"Damn, no, it's poisoned. I thought to myself. But I couldn't stop for a second, and I didn't want to be stabbed.
After about ten minutes, I was already feeling exhausted. Not only is it tired, but there is also a reason for being pricked. "TM's, it's not going to fall here, I don't think the fire demon killed me, I was killed by a bunch of bugs, it's really not worth it. I thought to myself, and the movements of my hands became slower and slower.
Just when I felt that I couldn't hold on, I saw that these poisonous scorpions scattered around as if they had seen natural enemies. Soon there was not a single one in sight, except for the dead one on the ground. Seeing that these poisonous scorpions were gone, I didn't care what the reason was, so I was ready to sit down on the rock, but I forgot that my ass was "injected". This one sat down, it was so sour, it was simple. So he lay down on the stone in pain.
"Little general, what a person, and besides, how can you provoke these bugs. A thick middle-aged voice rang out behind me. When I looked back, I saw a bearded man in his 40s walking towards me, his hands still sprinkling white powder around from time to time. If I'm not mistaken, these poisonous scorpions should have been scared away by the powder.
"Are you alright, little general?" he asked.
"Hiss......" As soon as I moved, there was another pain in my buttocks. "Thank you, if it weren't for you, I would have to be here today. What do you call it?"
"Hehe, my surname is Fan, and I am a hunter, so you can call me Fan Hunter. Your ass...... It doesn't matter, does it?" he smiled.
"......Shh Does Uncle have an antidote?"
"Haha, isn't this place full of antidotes?" he pointed to the corpses of poisonous scorpions. β
"Uh...... No, that's all?"
"Of course not, you're going to have to smash these scorpions and add this. After saying that, he pulled a handful of grass and gave it to me.
I asked with suspicion, "What, Uncle Fan, I was really stung and felt poisoned." No kidding, okay. β
"No, I've been hunting in the mountains all year round, and I've never seen any poison? I've been stung by a poisonous bee that's even more venomous. I did as he was told, and it worked, and in less than five minutes, my ass was no longer sore.
"That, thank you, Uncle Fan. After saying that, I took out a pack of betel nuts, chewed one myself, and gave him one. Then sit down and want to talk.
It's the same as Wang Jin before. At first he didn't understand it, but later he got used to it. I found that people in this world seem to be particularly adapted to eating, before the red grass ate spicy strips and spicy tears, but soon got used to it, Wang Jin ate betel nut too, and now this Fan hunter is too.
"I've never seen anything like this, but it tastes pretty good. "Fan Hunter said. After saying that, he took out something from his back basket and gave it to me, a bit like a turnip, but gray. "Come and compensate me for something, this can be downgraded after eating. Moreover, it can also improve energy and blood. β
I picked it up and took a look, and the system displayed the name - delicious souvenirs: after eating it, he might make you feel refreshed, so I asked you if you dare. "Damn. This thing can't be the same as the specialty in Fengyun. I shouted in my heart. I was not less fooled by that thing. But it's not good if I don't take it.
Fan Hunter himself also took out one, spit out the betel nut dregs, and chewed it directly, without even spitting out the skin. I thought about it, what are I afraid of, can I still be poisoned? Not to mention that it tastes pretty good, a bit like the cigar fruit on earth, but sweeter. Not long after eating, I saw that the spiritual power value on the system panel was rising, and it was very fast.
This thing even has the effect of restoring spiritual power. And I feel like I've regained a lot of strength. It is estimated that it is the so-called qi and blood.
"Uncle Fan, do you still have this thing, I'll buy it, or change it. I said to him.
"What to buy, you can use your betel nut, yes, just trade this with me, I'm quite interested in this thing." β
"This feeling is good, come on, come on, I still have several packs here, dozens of them. After saying that, I took out three more packs.
Fan Hunter also brought me a bundle.
I always feel that this thing is weird, what the hell is a bundle. But he's not a bundle. I put things in storage. He began to clean up the scorpion carcass and collect the poison sacs. That's enough for 100 in a while, but I've collected a few more.
Then he asked Fan Hunter: "Uncle Fan, I'm here to do a mission, and I need 100 bear biles of giant bears." Do you know where to find a giant bear?"
"I have bear bile, but you'll have to do me a favor. "Fan Hunter said.
I suddenly remembered that the task was just to say that I wouldn't let others help me, and I didn't say how to get these things, right? He asked, "What's the help, if you can help me, you will definitely help." β
"There's a giant bear over there, and I can't do it alone. As long as you help me get it, I'll give you not only 100 bear bile, but also 100 bear paws. What do you think. β
"Giant Bear King, how is the strength? If the gap is too big, I won't do it. I asked.
"Level 55, this giant bear king is level 55, but the skin is rough and thick, and it is very difficult to beat. Moreover, its strength is not small, and I have seen it slap a giant bear to death with a single slap. So, to help you think about it first. Fan Hunter said.
"That is, there are no other giant bears around it?" I asked, listening to him.
"That guy has a very violent temper and there are almost no other hands-on presence in the surrounding 200 meters or so," he said. β
"That's easy, let's go, let's get it done. β
In fact, I'm not afraid of the strength of the opponent, as long as the level suppression is not too high, the speed is not too fast, and I am not afraid of relying on the number of scorpions to besiege just now. Just the speed of my almost instantaneous skill. Kite to death.
Obviously, the above few factors that are unfavorable to me are not possessed by the Giant Bear King, the level is 55, although it is 10 levels higher than me, but it is within the acceptable range; speed, not that I said, the speed of the giant bear, it should not be much faster; the most important thing is that Fan Hunter said that there are no helpers around it. At present, I have no other recovery method except for Eternity, which can provide some spiritual power recovery effects, and I can't often use recovery potions in battle, right? So you can't fight a war of attrition for too long. But this giant bear king obviously can't be consumed with me for a long time. So I'm more than seventy percent sure that I can get it.
Fan Hunter is also a simple person, just leave. "Then it's decided, as long as you can help me kill the giant bear king, 100 bear bile, 100 bear paws. With that, he took me further east and set off.
Along the way, he passed through the territory of many hemoptysis creatures, but they were all skillfully avoided by Fan Hunters, worthy of professional hunters. While passing through a depression, I saw a strange creature, a plant that looked like a konjac flower, more than ten meters high, and a huge flower appeared to bloom on the top. And it exudes a special fragrance, which smells so good that people can't help but want to go over and have a look. I was curious to go over, but I was grabbed by Fan Hunter and said, "Be careful, didn't you find anything wrong?"
I took a closer look, and it turned out that there were many bones in the area of more than 30 meters around "that tree", all kinds of animals, and even I saw several bones of giant bears.
I was shocked into a cold sweat and asked, "What is this?" β
Fan Hunter said: "This thing is called Su Teng Cao, it is a very aggressive plant, relying on the roots of the ground to attack, as long as it is entangled by its roots, it will pierce many small spikes on the roots into the target's body, and then release a toxin that can paralyze the target, the final result, you should see." He pointed to the bones around him.
I hurriedly took a few steps back.
Fan Hunter smiled again: "Don't be too nervous, although this thing is aggressive, it basically can't move itself, and it is a passive creature." β
I was also speechless, "Who gave it a name, where is the grass more than 10 meters high?" I laughed.
"It wasn't like this before, this thing used to be two or three meters at most, and its hunting range was only four or five meters. I usually look for some bugs and other troubles, but since half a year ago, they have started to grow wildly, and they are becoming more and more aggressive. Moreover, not only poison ivy grass, but other creatures in the entire eastern suburbs have mutated, and there were many scorpions here in the past, but they were not so big and not so many. In fact, the giant bear is not the same as before. At least the stature has become bigger. Because of this, there are fewer hunters in this part of the eastern suburbs now, because it is easy to be surprised. β
What I encountered, plus what Fan Hunter said, combined with the problem that Wang Jin, the guard of the pass said, about the demons. I sorted it out in my heart and found that things didn't seem to be simple, and I always felt that there was a big conspiracy in it.
But let's not talk about these things first, let's help Fan Hunter complete the task of the giant bear king, it has been almost three hours since it came out, which completely exceeded the previous task time.
Stop-and-go all the way, the pace is a little slow. Fan Hunter said that there are caracals in this area, I don't actually know what it is, but looking at his careful appearance, it shouldn't be easy to mess with. (Later, I learned that this caracal was the kind of pet that Qing Xuan brought with me when I first came to the Eternal Continent, but hers is a thunder caracal that is more advanced than ordinary caracals, and it is said that there are also blood caracals, fire caracals, wind caracals, etc.) οΌ
