Chapter 19: Misty City
Deep in the forest, the trees grow more and more luxuriantly. The bright sunlight shines through the branches and leaves of the trees, sparsely falling to the ground, forming a series of blurry pillars of light, making the forest appear more quiet and profound.
The deeper you go, the more monsters in the forest and the bigger they get. Seeing from afar, Yunfei made a detour as much as possible. In addition to lions and tigers, there are also giant pythons coiled among the trees. With his current combat strength, it is obvious that he is not the opponent of those monsters, and rashly stepping forward to fight will only become a snack for monsters.
In view of this, Yunfei can only keep changing directions and moving in other relatively safe directions. Turning around, he couldn't tell where he was heading and where he was going. It's just that there is no sign of anyone else chasing behind him, so he temporarily relaxes.
For several days, Yun Fei would run through the forest during the day, and sit cross-legged on the big tree at night to cultivate. Since discovering that cultivation, not only did his energy not get tired, but he became more energetic, so he gave up sleeping at night and directly replaced it with cultivation.
In this game world, after all, it is by strength that speaks. He also didn't want to be the target of others because of his weakness. A little more strength means a little more security. At least when he escapes, he can be more calm.
On this day, Yun Fei ran for a long time, and was preparing to take a temporary rest and eat some food. He saw a big tree and was about to climb it, but before he could think about it, a big tree next to him suddenly uprooted and swung its branches at him. Fortunately, Yunfei was always vigilant and avoided in time, and the attack speed of the tree spirit was slow, so there was no danger.
The Dryad's attack method is to only whip the branches indiscriminately and attack the surroundings. As long as you avoid the range of the dryads, there is no danger. Compared to other beast-type monsters, the Dryads are much safer. Yun Fei didn't change to other directions for the time being, and planned to take a look first.
After a few moments, the dryads found no prey and re-established themselves, quietly hiding in the forest.
After Yunfei's careful observation, he finally noticed the difference between the tree spirits. The body of the tree master is black-gray, the body is relatively thick, the branches and leaves are sparse, usually only one main branch, and the branches and leaves that are mimicked and attacked are also thin branches, growing symmetrically on both sides of the tree spirit. With a little attention, you can still see that it is clearly different from other trees. In contrast, he also discovered other hidden dryads.
"Luckily, the distribution of the Treants is scattered, so you should be able to walk through here. I haven't drunk water for several days, and the number of thunder roots is limited after all, so I still have to find a water source as soon as possible. Yunfei shook his head and climbed towards a real big tree next to him.
After a night of practice, the feeling of exhaustion was swept away. Yun Fei checked the progress of his cultivation and felt that it was not satisfactory. Among them, the earth line has been cultivated to more than 40 points, the wood line has also been cultivated to 35 points, the fire line has been cultivated to 21 points, and the water line and gold line yin and yang essence have only been cultivated to about 12 points. There is still a long way to go before the second stage of cultivation is complete.
If you just sit and cultivate, you can cultivate for about 8 hours and accumulate a little essence of each system. In this way, based on eight hours of cultivation in one night, it will take about 100 days to complete the second stage of negative yin and yang cultivation.
Fortunately, in addition to cultivation, you can also speed up your cultivation progress by eating other foreign objects. In the past few days, Yun Fei has eaten the Thunder Spirit Root to satisfy his hunger, and the essence of the wood and earth system has increased significantly. If it weren't for the fact that he was trying to save as much food as possible, he could have quickly accumulated the earth-walking essence by consuming the Thunder Spirit Root.
Yun Fei opened his eyes, and what he saw was foggy. In the quiet forest, a dense mist wafts around, slowly drifting towards the surroundings with the breeze. Sticking out your fingers, you can only see a vague outline.
"Why is it foggy all of a sudden?" Yun Fei looked around suspiciously, and he was also careful in his heart.
Yunfei was originally going to set off as soon as the morning dawned, looking for a way out of the forest. It was almost dawn, but suddenly the fog was so thick that I could barely see my fingers. In this kind of weather, in this strange forest, it is not advisable to act rashly. But don't forget, there are all kinds of weird monsters hidden in the forest.
"Is there such a weather change as fog in the game? I thought that there was only a natural phenomenon of the sun rising and the moon setting!" Yun Fei curled the corners of his mouth self-deprecatingly.
Yun Fei took out a little Thunder Spirit Root and ate it to replenish the necessary food and water. It was not time to go forward against the fog, and he was ready to wait and see. But it was almost noon.
As the sun rises, the temperature rises, and the fog in the woods gradually dissipates. Although the forest was still relatively dark, with the help of dark vision, Yun Fei was able to see his surroundings clearly.
"Let's hurry. Luckily, nothing else happened. Yunfei jumped off the tree, slightly identified the location of the tree spirit, and looked for the gap to go outside.
Unexpectedly, I walked in the misty forest for another three days. Three afternoons of walking, to be exact. When night falls, the fog always comes in time to dominate the night in the forest, and at noon the next day, the fog will be driven away by the sun and reluctantly leave.
When Yunfei saw the sun's smiling face again, he couldn't help but cry with joy. It was not easy for him to break through this forest alive. The warm sun with the warm sunlight dispelled the chill on Yun Fei's body and the haze that pressed on his head.
Bordering the forest is an empty and barren land. The sparse old trees slanted, struggling to grow on the desolate earth, and the dilapidated tombstones leaned against the old trees in a haphazard manner, and there were unknown bone fragments scattered around them. A few crows stood on the branches of the big trees, making a "quacking" bird cry, as if they had rashly intruded into Yunfei and expressed their dissatisfaction. Here, there is a mass grave.
At the end of the line of sight, the outline of a large castle can be seen. It wasn't until the sun waned that Yunfei finally walked to the city.
It is a castle made of black stone. The city wall is more than 30 meters high, and from a distance, it is majestic and majestic; the entrance of the city gate is wide open, with a height of 17 or 8 meters, and a width of 10 meters. On the head of the city, there are also three big characters of "Misty City" written in the way of stone carving. When it got closer, Yun Fei saw clearly that the city wall was full of potholes, and countless scattered arrows were inserted diagonally on the city wall, showing its past glory. On the head of the city, in the way of stone carving, the three big characters of "Misty City" are written.
Passing through the city gate, the city is full of tall buildings of black stone, which looks particularly majestic and unusually strong. But unlike Tianque City, the Misty City was empty, and there was not even a figure guarding the city, which was extremely desolate.
Just as he was confused, there was a "bang", and a sharp sword suddenly hit Yun Fei's neck, and a low voice came from behind Yun Fei.
"Who?"
Yun Fei couldn't help but stand on end, and didn't dare to move. He hurriedly said, "Don't ...... Don't get me wrong, I'm just a passer-by, just wanted to replenish the food and water here, no malice. ”
The man seemed to hesitate for a moment, withdrew his long sword, and said in a cold voice: "You are not welcome here, after replenishing, please leave quickly." ”
"Know...... Got it. Yun Fei responded in a panic, slowly turned around, and saw a warrior in black armor slowly leaving. It turned out that under the city gate, there was a hidden space, and it seemed that it was from there that the warriors in black armor came out.
Yunfei didn't dare to stay longer, so he hurriedly found the location of the grocery store and bought some food and water.
The grocery store owner is a thin, white-faced, middle-aged man. He saw that Yun Fei was clean and slippery, and only used leaves to weave a grass skirt as a cover, and couldn't help but wonder: "What kind of dress are you?"
Yun Fei panicked and said, "Don't mention it." I was robbed by a robber and robbed all my body. To be able to get away with it is already considered lucky. By the way, uncle, you hurry up and prepare some food and water for me, I have to leave here immediately after I finish replenishing it. ”
The grocery store owner sympathetically handed over a glass of water and a piece of brown bread, and said, "Well, this is indeed not the place where you should be. After eating, you can leave quickly. ”
Yun Fei hurriedly picked up the bread and nibbled on a few bites, drank another sip of water, and finally felt comfortable. The bread was a little hard and barely able to swallow. Seeing that the grocery store owner did not hand over food and water again, he said again: "Uncle, I asked you to prepare more food and water for me, but this food and water are not enough." ”
"I gave you that. As for the rest, you can't let me give it away at a loss, right?"
