Chapter 145: A Hidden Place in the Forest Zone
Carrying water with him is almost Ling Chen's instinctive behavior. In the real world, when it comes to the game world, he still puts her safety first, and deep down he longs to spend more time with her. Ever since Ling Shuiruo had fallen ill with Isloka, he hadn't been able to walk and play with her hand in hand for a long, long time.
"Brother. Then I'll be with Sister Mengxin. I can't rely on my brother all the time. Slightly unexpected, Ling Shuiruo, who was stopped behind Xiao Qi, hesitated for a while and then complied with Xiao Qi's thoughts...... Indeed, after Ling Chen left, there were only five people left in their team, and this challenge was given to a team of twelve, even if Mu Bingyao was there, it would still be too difficult for them to complete. And with Ling Shuiruo's presence, with her elven priest's powerful healing and auxiliary abilities, she can make them worry too much.
With five people and two hidden classes, this lineup is actually quite impressive.
Although he was very reluctant in his heart, since Shui Ruo spoke, Ling Chen naturally couldn't bear to refuse, he smiled and said, "Okay, Mengxin, Bingyao, Qiqi, Su Su, you have to protect Ruoruo, I don't want to see her get hurt in any way...... If there is a danger that cannot be solved, remember to call me as soon as possible. ”
"Mm-hmm, don't worry! If she's so cute, we're not willing to put her in danger...... Moreover, it's not that we protect Ruoruo, it's Ruoruo who protects us. Receiving Ling Chen's answer, Xiao Qi grabbed Shui Ruo's hand and laughed happily.
"Don't worry, we'll protect her. Indeed, if there were no Ruoruo, and only the four of us, even if Sister Bingyao was there, it would be very difficult to pass this trial. Yun Mengxin said.
And only Mu Bingyao knew how heavy Ling Chen's seemingly gentle sentence of "Protect Ruoruo, I don't want to see her get hurt in any way" was. Therefore, next, her first task is no longer to hunt the ogre, but to protect Ling Shuiruo. With her ability, it is not too difficult to destroy 200 ogres unscathed, but the time will definitely exceed an hour, and it is very difficult to complete this task alone.
"So, let's get out of here first, and then I'll go straight to the next mission." Ling Chen said, and then took out the scroll back to the city at the same time.
Then do the next task, Ling Chen is alone, but none of them feel that there is anything wrong, with the strength of Xiling, even if it is a difficult task, it can be easily passed.
Ling Chen then left. Ling Shuiruo quietly clasped his hands and silently shouted in his heart: "Brother, come on...... I'll do the best, too. ”
The square of Qinglong City is still noisy and extraordinary, but it is no longer as monotonous as it was at the beginning, it is full of propaganda from major guilds, and the shouts in the square are mostly all guilds recruiting. The second challenge requires going to the forest, where you can't teleport directly, but walk there. Therefore, the first difficulty of this task is to safely cross the plains and reach the forest area alive.
However, this difficulty did not exist for Ling Chen, and when he first traveled to Silent Soul Ridge, he had already traveled through the plains and forests, and bought the return scrolls of all the towns along the way, including one town on the edge of the forest. As a result, he can reach the edge of the forest strip directly.
After digging through the scroll of returning to the city, crushing it, and after the white light, Ling Chen had already appeared in the town on the edge of the forest area. He had some potions in the town, and then headed straight into the forest. For the first two tasks, he did not have much interest, and his interest was mainly focused on the latter two...... Especially the quest for that "Luna's Ruins".
The monsters in the forest area are all some fierce beasts, and most of them are some mutants, all of which are above level 25, and players at this stage can only escape if they encounter it. It's completely different from the first mission.,The first challenge task is to find ogres to hunt.,And this task,It's to do your best to avoid monsters.,And then carefully find the mission target.,At the same time, there is no time limit for this task.,As long as you get three red crystal grasses to complete the task.,If you get nine, you can complete it three times in a row.。
When Ling Chen passed through here, he was also moving at full speed, dodging all kinds of monsters as much as possible, so he didn't notice anything similar to what the Red Crystal Grass described, so after Ling Chen entered the jungle area, he could only find it from the beginning.
In addition to the sound of birds and beasts in the jungle area, there is no other noise, and there is no shadow of other players, and there should be no second player who can go directly to the forest area like him, and even if other players want to do this task for the first time, they must spend a lot of time crossing the plains first.
Red Crystal Grass ...... Judging by the name, the plant is supposed to be red all over and appears to be in a crystalline state. Ling Chen slowed down, searching every corner of his field of vision little by little. The forest area was overgrown with grass, and there were countless plants of all kinds, most of which were dark green or yellow-green, and Ling Chen had been walking forward for more than half an hour, but he had not found a single red, crystal-like plant. Among them, from time to time, there is a monster or a group of monsters suddenly rushing out from the side, the monster level here is more than level 25, Ling Chen has to work a little hard to get up alone, and Xi Ling shoots is to see a second by one, see a group of seconds and a group, so Ling Chen didn't pay attention to any monsters along the way, even if he suddenly jumped out of a large group, he didn't bother to take a look...... Because of the presence of the tide spirits, they jumped out completely to send them to death.
What's going on? Nearly half an hour passed, and Ling Chen, who still had found nothing, began to frown. This quest is open to all players, each group of players must find three red crystal grasses, with the number of players in Huaxia Kingdom, the number of red crystal grass should be a lot, otherwise how to deal with so many players to complete this task. But after turning around in it for so long, the monsters don't know how much they have cleaned up, why haven't they found a single plant!
"Brother!! We did it! There are five of us who have passed this mission!! ”
Ling Chen was just about to continue his search, Shui Ruo's excited shout came from Ling Chen's intercom, and when he heard Shui Ruo's voice, Ling Chen's frustration of not being able to find Chijing Grass was suddenly swept away. With Mu Bingyao's strength, as long as there is enough time, there is no problem in passing that task, coupled with Mengxin's double golden weapon and Shui Ruo's comprehensive ability that is far superior to that of ordinary priests, it is not surprising that the five people pass the challenge task of hunting ogres.
"Hee-hee! Brother Ling Tian, are we amazing? Even without you, we'd have passed! This is Xiao Qi's voice, at this time she must be smiling, her eyebrows dancing.
"Thanks to Ruoruo. It's good to keep her, if it weren't for Ruoruo, we would really be in danger. This is Yun Mengxin's voice.
"Five people have done tasks that other players may not be able to accomplish with twelve, you guys are really amazing." Ling Chen smiled and said, "Then next, are you going to come to the forest area to do the second mission?" ”
"Of course not! We're going to challenge this mission again! I was so excited, so exciting, so thrilling! Definitely going to do it again! ”
"Yes!"
Ling Chen: "......"
The five girls decisively agreed to go on another ogre hunt, not the two pieces of bronze equipment, but simply the sense of belonging to the team and the sense of accomplishment of completing the task with their own efforts. Hanging up the call, they went to the commercial street to replenish their supplies, while Ling Chen continued to look for the red crystal grass. Perhaps it was the good mood that brought him good luck, and after only a few steps, a slight crimson appeared in his eyes.
Is that......
Ling Chen immediately walked over. This is already the northern edge of the forested zone, and further north it is no longer a forest, but a variety of irregularly shaped mountain walls. The mountain wall is densely covered with all kinds of tree vines, and the red is at the foot of the mountain wall.
Squatting down in front of the plant that glowed faintly red, Ling Chen brushed aside the surrounding weeds and looked at it.
[Red crystal grass]: A warm plant with a stem like a red crystal, hence the name. It can be eaten directly, and after eating, it can restore the vitality of the weak to a certain extent.
That's it!
Ling Chen immediately reached out and picked this red crystal grass, put it in his backpack, and then got up and scanned the surroundings, looking for any other red crystal grass. At this moment, Xiao Ash, who had been following him, suddenly called out and ran straight towards the mountain wall.
Every time Ash's anomaly meant that it had made some special discovery, Ling Chen immediately followed. Ash ran along the mountain wall, stopped after a while, and then stood in front of the large vines hanging on the mountain wall, and called at the vines several times, and scratched at the vines with his paws several times.
Ling Chen immediately realized, he took a few steps forward, summoned the Gale Sword, and slashed at these tree vines with a "Ling Tian Slash".
Bang!
With a muffled sound, Ling Chen's Gale Sword was almost shaken off, but these vines that had grown for an unknown number of years and were extremely thick and unscathed. If weapons don't have a destructive attribute, don't even think about destroying them, even if they are powerful.
Retracting the Gale Sword, Ling Chen took a dozen steps back and shouted, "Xi Ling, burn these vines, be careful not to affect the surroundings. ”
Xi Ling received the order and flew high, and with the loud chirping sound, with the flapping of its red wings, a crimson beam of light slanted down from the sky, flying like an arrow of flame towards the position of the tree vine that Ling Chen had just chopped.
Call......
The scorching wind blew in front of Ling Chen's body, although it was more than ten meters apart, the burning sensation still made Ling Chen's face faintly painful, the red rays collided on the tree vines, exploding a large cloud of red fire, and in the flakes of black smoke in the air, a large hole with a diameter of two meters appeared in the vine wall that was close to the mountain wall. The shape of the cave is a standard circle, and the flames disappear completely when it is formed, and there is no burning in all directions...... Behind the scorching hole, it was not a mountain wall, but a dark patch.
It's a cave covered in vines!
