Lin Juexiao listened to Mecca's words and subconsciously said:

"There are no monsters, so to speak, they appear out of thin air, or- someone created them?"

Mecca glanced at him and said, "You are good at discovering the essence of things, and if you work hard, you will become a good adventurer." She paused, and then said, "My teacher is a martial arts instructor of the Treasure Island Warrior Tribe. ”

Can you be this woman's teacher...... Lin Juexiao imagined how terrifying that martial arts instructor was.

"When I was still practicing in the Warrior Tribe, my teacher used to say that a long time ago, there were no monsters in the world of Adventure Island...... The teacher only said one thing about this matter, and I didn't dare to ask more. ”

"But this aroused my great interest, and I went to the village of Shooter to find the legendary child of hope, the elf Helina, who had lived for thousands of years, and asked her about it...... It is said that she was the first to arrive at Treasure Island. ”

At this point, Mecca stopped, seemingly searching for memories.

Lin Juexiao had never heard of such a story, and listened to it motionlessly, seeing that she suddenly stopped talking, she couldn't help but ask, "Then what?" Xiu Jia was also very curious: "Yes, then what?"

Mecca said slowly, "...... At that time, Helina told me that monsters appeared because of a certain war, not only monsters, but also that war gave rise to a huge dark force, and even ...... Frozen the entire elven clan, and now all the elves are still sleeping in the ice...... She didn't seem to want to talk about it, and didn't go any further—only that the monster wasn't a living being, but a form of power. ”

Lin Juexiao listened to these historical fragments, and couldn't help but have an interest and yearning for this world.

He took the bottle of the red potion in his hand, looked at the bottle and said, "So, the red potion actually did not eliminate the substance of 'mucus', but counteracted some kind of 'power'. ”

Mecca nodded, "Yes." ”

No wonder they were all indifferent, Lin Juexiao thought to herself.

Mecca sorted out her thoughts that were slightly confused by the memories and said, "Okay, you have learned the most basic hunting on the first day, which is not bad for a person with no foundation, as long as you hunt more, you will grow quickly." Now, it's time for you to go to Rainbow Village. ”

"Rainbow Village?"

"Let's go—" Shuga shook his arms happily and walked forward.

When the three of them returned to the house in Mecca, Mecca jumped on the boulder again, turned his back to them, and said, "If you want to think of a wider world, go to the village chief Lucas of Rainbow Village, and he will explain it to you in detail." Then he continued to look into the distance and said no more.

So, after saying goodbye to Mecca, Xiujia took Lin Juexiao to Rainbow Village. At this time, it is almost noon, the sun is abundant, fortunately it is not hot, as if walking in the cool autumn, very leisurely.

There were strange things along the way: a tree had grown into a human appearance, and even its facial features were clearly visible, which was unheard of; the yellow butterflies flying around in the grass were bigger than Lin Juexiao's head; and the enoki mushroom on the side of the road was actually taller than Lin Juexiao...... So when he was about to reach Rainbow Village, he was not too surprised to see a squint-eyed rabbit shaped like a monkey, poking its head out of the gopher's hole and glancing at him and shrinking in.

"It's about that kind of monster-like power that subtly affects the world. Anything can happen in this world anyway," he muttered to himself, glancing at Xiujia beside him, "Maybe this cute little girl isn't human." ”

After a while, I arrived at Rainbow Village, and suddenly I saw a peaceful and lively rural scene: cute mushroom houses, scattered all over the village. Some mushroom houses are combined with a casting furnace, and there is a sound of steel colliding inside, apparently a blacksmith's house. A shed is set up in front of a grocery store, and the shelves are filled with a variety of goods, including snail shells, flower mushroom caps, glass jars filled with potions, food sealed in pink cardboard boxes, yellow apples and red oranges, and even some magic scrolls next to them, and strange things in the small warehouse next to the mushroom room and many more. There is also a wooden sign at the entrance of the mushroom house that reads "Weapon Shop", and there are some swords, axes, and sticks, where several adventurers are picking.

Lin Juexiao saw the human village of this world for the first time, and a sense of intimacy arose - no matter what, human beings are social animals after all. He was interested in looking around and enjoying new things.

The village was bustling with activity, with the proprietor of the weapons shop busily beckoning adventurers and selecting suitable weapons for them, the proprietress of the grocery store in her apron sorting out the goods in the warehouse, the children carefully catching small animals on a strange-looking tree, and the shirtless blacksmith hammering a round and flat iron embryo.

Xiu Jia returned to Rainbow Village, seemed to be very happy, and smiled at Lin Juexiao: "I'll take you to see the village chief first!"

"Yes. ”

"The village chief is a very kind uncle, you will like him. ”

Shuga hummed a song as the two walked along the village road. Many of the people on the street were armed with weapons and dressed in different costumes, apparently from different places. They are constantly in and out of the shops, not knowing what they are doing. Some people will take a look at Lin Juexiao's clothes, but they don't care very much. Lin Juexiao looked around, and at this time, an old man on the side of the road caught his attention.

"This guy looks so funny. Lin Juexiao smiled secretly in his heart.

The top of the old man's head was bare, and only a handful of hair was left on either side of his head, which made his beard with long eyebrows and crawling all over his face look very funny, not to mention the mustache on his lips. He was short, dressed in a robe, on wooden crutches, and squinted his little eyes like a homeless old man.

Lin Juexiao was about to ask Xiu Jia to see this funny person, when suddenly Xiu Jia trotted up to the old man and called sweetly: "Village Chief-Xiu Jia is back!" Lin Juexiao suddenly stood still.

"Hmm...... Good, good. The village chief touched Xiujia's head and smiled, "Where are Xiujia going to play today?"

This is the village chief Lucas? Lin Juexiao held back his smile out of politeness.

Xiu Jia happily pointed at Lin Juexiao: "Today I found an adventurer on the slope of Maple Mountain!"

Lin Juexiao said: "Hello, Village Chief Lucas. He didn't dare to look at the village chief's face, for fear that he couldn't help it.

"Ah, hello, new adventurer, welcome to Rainbow Island. Chief Lucas smiled, his face very kind.

He's really a good uncle, I can't be disrespectful to people anymore. Lin Juexiao thought to himself and put away his smile.

"What's your name, adventurer?" asked Chief Lucas in the old but kind voice.

Lin Juexiao. ”

After hearing this, Village Chief Lucas seemed to remember something, pondered seriously, and then said slowly: "Lin Juexiao...... Good name. ”

Hahaha - this old man - Lin Juexiao laughed in his heart, but said seriously: "Thank you village chief for your praise, your name is also very good!"

"Well, young man, you really can talk, and I admire you. Village Chief Lucas seemed pleased to hear Lin Juexiao's praise, "An excellent young man like you must want to see the vastness of the world of MapleIsland, right? Even if the road ahead is difficult, it can't stop your enthusiasm—yes, I was like that back then...... If you don't mention the courage of the year, I won't tell you about the fact that I once defeated the mighty Mushroom King. ”

You've already said it. Lin Juexiao thought to himself.

"Excuse me, Chief Lucas, how am I going to venture to more places?"

"Ah—you are indeed an aspiring adventurer, just as I thought. However, in the world of Adventure Island, ambition alone is useless, and strength is required. ”

Lin Juexiao nodded.

"Of course, as long as you exercise Rainbow Island and help the village more, you will naturally improve your strength. ”

"What exactly?"

"Hmm...... That's a good question. Chief Lucas touched his black beard, "Specifically, help Lucy at the grocery store collect materials from the monster and recover materials for Pio in the craftsman's workshop...... These things alone are enough for you to do. Not to mention, if you want to go to Treasure Island, you have to pass the trials of Mecca. ”

"The trials of Mecca?"

"Yes, the trials of Mecca. Chief Lucas repeated.

"...... "You didn't say it, Lin Juexiao thought to himself.

"Excuse me, what kind of trial is it?"

"Oh, that's not an easy thing to do—do you see those adventurers?" said Chief Lucas, pointing to the adventurers who are frequently active in the village, "They also want to take the ship of Southport to Treasure Island as soon as possible, and they have already done a lot of work in the village and hunted a lot of monsters, which is really a great help to the village." But they were not able to go to Treasure Island because they had not passed the trials in Mecca. If you go to Treasure Island like this, there are more powerful monsters there, and it is very dangerous to not have a certain strength. So—"

Chief Lucas said, took out a small blue and white rectangular card from his robe and said, "If you want to take the ship from Nangang to Treasure Island, you must have this ticket in my hand, and if you want this ticket in my hand, you must pass the trial in Mecca, and if you want to pass the trial in Mecca...... You have to help the village. ”

"I see. ”

"Well, now that you understand, go to the weapons merchant Syd and get a weapon that suits you! That guy with white hair and high cheekbones—" Chief Lucas pointed to a mushroom house not far away, "yes, standing in front of a house with a sign from a weapons shop, that's him! ”

"Okay, thank you, Chief Lucas. Lin Juexiao was about to ask Xiu Jia to go to the weapon shop together, and when he looked back, where was Xiu Jia's figure? Seeing his puzzled face, the village chief Lucas reminded: "Hehehe, Xiu Jia has already gone home!"

Why didn't you say anything? Lin Juexiao felt a little strange, and then suddenly thought: Xiujia is still a little girl, of course she can't come out for too long.

In that case, let's go on your own first. So Lin Juexiao walked on the way to the weapon shop.
