Chapter 57: The Millennium Dryad
Running naked next week, I beg you to give me strength, recommend more than 100 in a single day next week, and reward 588 and above!
After making sufficient preparations, Yuan Chu set out again to look for the red and blue herbs.
The density of monsters inside the dungeon is much larger than that outside, and there are poisonous spiders and scorpions hiding among the grass and trees, man-eating flowers disguised as ordinary plants, and armor bugs hiding under soft soil.
Even if Yuan Chu had a system map, he had to be cautious and shuttle between the trees and grass step by step.
On the system map, a red dot quickly approached the two, Yuan Chu looked around and found a beetle the size of a millstone flying towards this side, and the target was Shao Ting behind him.
"Be careful!" Yuan Chu immediately pulled Shao Ting and rolled to the side, dodging the impact of the beetle.
This beetle, named Polygonal Worm, is one of the common monsters found in this quest, it can fly, and its hard elytra can be used to craft a wing shield.
Its forehead protrudes outward, and it has a sharp horn like a rhinoceros, which can swing back and forth, and when attacking, the sharp horn remains parallel to the forehead, stabbing at the enemy like a spear, and with the kinetic energy of flight, it is quite powerful.
If Yuan Chu hadn't pulled Shao Ting away just now, it is estimated that she would have been pierced by polygonal insects now.
The polygonal insect did not stab Shao Ting, due to inertia, the sharp horns pierced into the big tree behind her, and she was stuck in it for a while and couldn't break free.
"Good chance!" Seeing this, Yuan Chu immediately stepped forward with his sword and stabbed it fiercely into the membranous hindwings under its elytra, its hind wings were very soft, without the protection of elytra, and were easily pierced by the black scorpion sword.
The polygonal insect ate pain, immediately closed its elytra, and struggled to pull out the sharp horns of its forehead, but the force was too strong and it fell to the ground, Yuan Chu naturally would not let go of this good opportunity, and the black scorpion sword quickly pierced its abdomen and nailed it to the ground.
Receiving such a huge injury, the polygonal insect struggled violently, the wound in the abdomen was torn bigger and bigger, and a yellow-white liquid flowed out, exuding a pungent and unpleasant fishy smell.
Yuan Chu drew his sword and stabbed again, piercing several holes between its chest and abdomen, and the internal organs of the polygonal insect were completely destroyed, and the struggle gradually stopped.
After collecting a pair of elytra, Yuan Chu and Shao Ting immediately left the place, the smell of polygonal insect body fluids was very strong, and it was likely to attract other monsters.
There are a lot of red and blue herbs in the forest, and in every other area, a few herbs can be collected at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, among them, the number of red herbs is slightly more.
Sometimes, there will be some monsters guarding the red and blue herbs, especially the armor beetle, which likes to burrow under the humus where the red herb grows, and if you don't pay attention, it is easy to be attacked successfully.
"At the beginning of the Yuan, what is the use of these red and blue weeds?" Shao Ting was very happy every time she found these two herbs at the beginning of the year, so she was a little curious.
"It's not a weed, it's a medicinal herb with extraordinary effects." Yuan Chu explained.
Shao Ting was about to ask again, but she saw that Yuan Chu's face suddenly changed, and before she could speak, Yuan Chu hurriedly asked her to go up the tree.
Putting away Xiaobao, Yuan Chu quickly climbed to the tree, cast two stealth techniques, and silenced Shao Ting.
The two of them held their breath, and after a while, there was a dense rustling sound, and they saw a large group of poisonous insects speeding through from the west, at least tens of thousands, with a variety of species, poisonous spiders, scorpions, polygonal insects, armor beetles, and so on.
These different kinds of poisonous insects, led by their respective insect kings, hurried towards the east, as if there was something there that attracted them.
When Yuan Chu was on the tree, he used his spiritual revelation to detect the attributes of the leaders of various poisonous insects, which were much higher than the zombie elites.
Scorpion King, LV30, HP330, Spirit 1, Defense 17, Demon King 5, Attack 0-55. Notes: Toxic damage.
Poison Spider King, LV30, HP300, Spirit 1, Defense 15, Demon Champion 5, Attack 0-50. Notes: Toxic damage.
Giant Polygonal Worm, LV32, HP550, Spirit 1, Defense 40, Demon Guardian 10, Attack 0-45.
Vajra Armor Beetle, LV32, HP600, Spirit 1, Defense 50, Demon Guardian 15, Attack 0-42.
"It's all monsters with high defense and low magic defense, if there is a mage who can fire walls, how nice it would be!" Yuan Chu thought that if Shao Ting learned the Fire Wall Technique, coupled with the primary magic medicine he provided, the speed of upgrading would definitely be a bargain.
"Yuan Chu, how can there be so many bugs?" Shao Ting's face turned pale with fright, so many poisonous insects even Yuan Chu would feel palpitations, let alone her.
"There should be something good in the east to attract them to flock there." Yuan Chu guessed that there were often such plots in the novels he had read in his previous life, and whenever a treasure was born, it would definitely attract the surrounding monsters to fight for it.
"What's going to be good in this forest?" The two of them have been in for so long, and in addition to collecting some red and blue herbs, the most encountered are those poisonous insects.
"I don't know, let's go over and take a look!" Yuan Chu was interested, if there was really a treasure, he would see if he could get some of it, even if he didn't have the chance, he could use stealth to escape.
Although Shao Ting was a little scared, she did not object to Yuan Chu's proposal, she knew that Yuan Chu would definitely protect herself, so she had the courage to follow him with him following the traces of the insect swarm.
Along the way, the two rarely encountered poisonous insects, and it seemed that the insects along the road had joined the swarm and went with them. It saved the two of them a lot of time.
The destination of the insect swarm is in the depths of the forest, and the further you go inside, the more intense the palpitations in the heart of the Yuan Chu, as if there is some terrifying existence inside.
He hurriedly used stealth techniques to hide the figures of the two, and this feeling gradually faded.
"Could it be that some powerful monster is watching us?" Yuan Chu thought that he was a little hesitant whether to continue to move forward or leave with Shao Ting.
In the end, Yuan Chu decided to take a look from afar, otherwise he would be unwilling.
Ten minutes later, Yuan Chu saw a dense red dot not far in front of him on the map, which should be the gathering place of those poisonous insects.
He didn't dare to let Shao Ting follow again, but let her climb to a giant tree to wait for his news, he left Xiaobao by Shao Ting's side, and used stealth techniques to hide their figures, and then quietly went to the place where the poisonous insects gathered.
Yuan Chu stopped about a hundred meters away from the area where the poisonous insects gathered, then climbed a large tree and slowly approached from the air.
When Yuan Chu was approaching the edge of the swarm, he finally saw something in the center of the swarm, which was a large tree with a diameter of nearly five meters, but this tree was significantly different from the surrounding trees.
First of all, most of the surrounding trees are tall and straight like cedar trees, and the side branches and side branches are very small compared to the main trunk.
This tree resembles a large banyan tree with a wide canopy, and its branches are covered with bright red fruits, each the size of a baby's head, and the shape of a human baby.
Yuan Chu got closer again, and used his spiritual revelation to detect the information of this big tree, and it turned out to be a very famous monster in the legend - the Millennium Dryad.
The level of the Millennium Dryad was higher than the tenth level of the Yuan Chu, so the Spiritual Revelation only detected its name, and the rest of the attributes were all question marks.
Yuan Chu's level is level 22, which means that the level of the Millennium Tree Demon is above level 32, but Yuan Chu guessed that this Millennium Tree Demon is at least more than level 40, otherwise, the following poisonous insect kings will not be so honest.
The fruit produced by the Millennium Dryad was also identified at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, and its name was "Blood Baby Fruit", which was the main material for synthesizing Blood Essence Stone.
The Bloodstone is an amazing treasure, similar to the Bloodstone in the game, but only restores health.
Just imagine, if Yuan Chu has a blood essence stone with 2,000 HP points, as long as he is not killed by the enemy in seconds, his HP can continue to recover, which is equivalent to an additional 2,000 HP limit, what a pervert it is.
It's a pity that he can only watch such a treasure from a distance, but he can't get it, which is very uncomfortable and melancholy.
It would never work to rob hard, even if there were no more than 10,000 poisonous insects below, Yuan Chu would not be the opponent of the Millennium Tree Demon, unless he comprehended the skill of summoning divine beasts.
Then there is only one way to outwit. If he wanted to snatch the Blood Infant Fruit from so many powerful monsters, Yuan Chu didn't have any good way to do it, so he could only wait and see.
After observing for a while, Yuan Chu could conclude that the purpose of these demon insects was to obtain the blood baby fruit from the thousand-year-old tree demon.
In addition to absorbing nutrients from the soil, the Millennium Dryad can also feed on the flesh and blood of animals, absorb its life essence, and reach a certain level will produce blood baby fruits.
The Blood Infant Fruit contains a huge amount of life essence, which can strengthen the strength of animals or demon insects, and the thousand-year-old dryad does not eat demon insects, which is why it attracts so many demon insects here.
As time passed, the color of the Blood Baby Fruit became more and more vivid, and it seemed that it was about to ripen, and the swarm below the Millennium Dryad began to be restless, and if it was not for the restraint of the Worm King, there might be a riot.
But there are also a very small number of demon insects that do not obey the control of the insect king, or climb, or fly, and go towards the Blood Infant Fruit.
Before they could get close to the Blood Infant Fruit, they were entangled in a large number of branches, which were like pythons, easily strangling these unruly demon insects into pieces.
Yuan Chu secretly smacked his tongue when he saw it, the attack of the thousand-year-old tree demon was too strong, making him feel like he couldn't start.
If you use the Soul Fire Talisman, I don't know how many times it will take to kill it, maybe the attack range of the Soul Fire Talisman is even closer than the attack distance of the Millennium Dryad, so it is impossible to even fly a kite.
In melee combat, Yuan Chu didn't have the slightest advantage, unless he was wearing a god costume, or the level was much higher than the thousand-year-old dryad.
After another twenty minutes, the Blood Infant Fruit finally ripened, and a strange fragrance spread, causing the entire insect group to be restless, but with the experience of the past, these demon insects with low intelligence did not dare to make a mistake.
After the Blood Infant Fruit was fully ripe, the branches of the Millennium Dryad began to tremble slightly, and one after another the Blood Infant Fruit began to fall down, and the kings of all kinds of Zerg began to divide these Blood Infant Fruits.
