Chapter 142: Exploration
It was another sunny morning, when Xiao Yue and Yun Rumeng went online as promised, and got out of the south gate of Luofeng City in the middle of the flow of people out of the city, it was already three days after the game time.
The turmoil they created three days ago has not completely subsided, and many players are talking about it, most of them are gloating, which shows that Ma Rulong's popularity is indeed not good.
That day, Xiao Yue and Yun Rumeng's behavior of sneaking back to the city quietly exceeded everyone's expectations, and all the pursuing troops sent by Ma Rulong were in the air, so angry that Ma Rulong overturned several tables again.
And the two culprits have enough spirit to explore the set goal.
The winding mountain road is full of large and small forks, and the dew drops hanging from the weeds on the side of the road glow in the sunlight, which makes people dazzled. If it weren't for the guidance of the correct coordinates, finding a specific target in these reckless mountains would be more difficult than finding a needle in a haystack.
The forest became denser and the mountain roads became more rugged, and two sturdy leopards carried their owners deep into the 100,000 mountains.
The 100,000 Mountains were known for their sheer number of peaks, and Xiao Yue looked through the map he had bought from the thieves, which showed that even if they followed the nearest road in a straight line, the two of them would have to climb at least three peaks and cross a long valley to reach their goal. Xiao Yue roughly estimated that according to the current pace, at least he would run all the way until evening.
Moving forward along the vague beast path, avoiding the attacks of several groups of beasts, Xiao Yue and Yun Rumeng climbed to the top of the mountain peak where they were, and because the thunder and lightning and Zi Zi's physical strength dropped too quickly, the two of them took a short rest on the ridge.
Throwing a few pieces of lean meat to the tired thunderbolt, Xiao Yue jumped onto a large protruding rock at the top of the mountain and looked ahead, the position under his feet was quite high, and the field of vision was very wide, with the mountains in the distance and the lush primeval forest in full view.
The strong mountain wind blew, and the chirping of the mountain eagle was faintly heard, and in the face of such a magnificent mountain and river beauty, Xiao Yue had a big heart, and he couldn't wait to look up to the sky and howl.
A pretty figure also jumped onto the rock and stopped beside Xiao Yue.
Yun Rumeng had already removed the cloak that covered her, and the strong wind blew her long green silk, which had a touching style.
"Thank you!"
"Huh? Yes! Thank me for what, we are now companions, and it is appropriate to help each other, besides, I didn't suffer, but I made a lot of money, and you have your credit. Xiao Yue was caught off guard for a while, but he didn't know why Yun Rumeng was suddenly so polite.
Yun Rumeng pulled away her scattered hair and smiled: "I thank you for being willing to accompany me to complete this dangerous mission, if that Ma Rulong hadn't lied, he must have encountered the phoenix, and the loss must be great, now there are two of us, the strength is too weak, I am afraid that it will be difficult to see the phoenix." ”
Xiao Yue comforted: "You don't have to worry, we are not going to hunt the phoenix, since the system can give such a task, then it definitely has a certain set of settings, and it will not make the player hopeless, so even if the difficulty is great, I think we will definitely find the trick." ”
Yun Rumeng glanced at Xiao Yue deeply, and said slowly: "I don't know why, hearing you say this, I feel a lot more grasped." I want to thank you for other things, you let Bing Mei pass on the secret ice jade recipe to me, I owe you this favor. ”
Although Yan Bing and Yun Rumeng were like sisters, Yan Bing taught the Ice Jade Recipe to Yun Rumeng with Xiao Yue's consent in advance. What Yan Bing taught was nothing more than the primary mental method of the Ice Jade Formula, but Yun Rumeng knew that this kind of ancient martial arts classics were by no means easily leaked to outsiders, nor could they be obtained by money and power, and the magical effect of this Ice Jade Recipe, Yun Rumeng had deeply realized it after practicing for a period of time.
Xiao Yue smiled and said: "You have also helped me a lot, I can be regarded as repaying the favor, so you don't have to pay too much attention to it." ”
Yun Rumeng smiled slyly: "That's also, I will try my best to help with the two of you, I heard that the Ice Jade Duel Intermediate Mental Technique is even more wonderful, I don't know when I will be able to learn it." ”
Xiao Yue was taken aback and blurted out: "This middle-level or above mental method is only passed on to daughters-in-law. ”
As soon as the words came out, Xiao Yue suddenly felt bad, he didn't understand, these words were a little light, and sure enough, he saw Yun Rumeng immediately blushing, his willow eyebrows were upside down, and an invisible murderous aura attacked him.
Yun Rumeng glared at Xiao Yue viciously for a few times, and then said dejectedly: "There are so many rules, forget it, I'm just asking, you don't have to take it seriously." ”
Having said that, in fact, she still yearns for it in her heart, as a woman, she values the beauty and rejuvenation effect of the ice jade jue the most, and after practicing during this time, she is almost addicted to practice.
"By the way, it's better like this, when will I see my aunt, why don't I worship her as my godmother! That's not it. Yun Rumeng had an idea and made a bold suggestion, which immediately made Xiao Yue stunned, he really couldn't imagine that Yun Rumeng was so persistent.
It's just such a charming and fierce godsister, Xiao Yue is a little afraid to bear it, but with his understanding of his mother, if the two really meet, maybe this matter is really possible.
Looking at Xiao Yue's stunned appearance, Yun Rumeng smiled and said, "Just kidding, okay, it's not too early, let's continue on our way." ”
After saying that, she jumped off the rock and walked in the direction of her pet Zizi, her posture light like a fluttering butterfly.
Xiao Yue smiled bitterly and rubbed his nose, and also came down from the rock.
Stepping on the thunderbolt, the two continued to descend the mountain in front of them, and there were two towering ridges in front of them that required them to cross the name of the beast of 100,000 mountains, and the next road began to become difficult.
A level 65 forest wolf beast, a level 68 wild bear, and a level 70 mandrill, when Xiao Yue and the two broke into their territory, hidden attacks came one after another. The dense grass and larch forests are the best hiding places for the monsters, and Xiao Yue and Yun Rumeng, who are walking in the bright place, are almost impossible to prevent.
Fortunately, neither of them was mediocre, and with their excellent equipment, they were able to cope with these attacks without being besieged by a large group of monsters, but the speed of their journey was correspondingly much slower.
"Oh! ~" A monster resembling an ape waved its long arm and threw it at Xiao Yue, and the five 3-inch-long claws protruding from its furry palms glowed with turquoise light, and at a glance, it was clear that it was contaminated with poison.
Before it could get closer, Xiao Yue's steel arrow, which had already been ready to be fired, had already shot out, heading straight for the monster's empty throat.
The monster was extremely agile, and it dodged sideways between the lightning and flint, but its movements were still inferior to the arrows that were fired, and the powerful steel arrows stabbed it in the shoulder!
“-234!”
The monster hissed in pain, and its entire body was stunned by the momentum of the steel arrow, when a scorching fireball the size of a basin slammed into its chest, instantly splashing the sky with sparks.
Although he had already hit the other party hard, Xiao Yue still didn't dare to be careless, and fired another steel arrow through its throat, only to completely end the monster's life.
Xiao Yue breathed a sigh of relief, this level 70 mandrill belongs to an elite-level monster, it is extremely agile in the mountains and forests, and it will go crazy to enhance its strength after being injured, so if you don't kill it, you can kill it with one blow.
Xiao Yue and Yun Rumeng are now climbing over the last mountain range on the map that shows the location of their target, this forest covering the mountainside is too dense for the two of them to control their mounts, and they can only kill in the face of the attack of the mandrills in it.
In this way, the two of them worked step by step, gradually climbing upward, Xiao Yue was nothing, his profession was most suitable for such an environment, poor and delicate Yun Rumeng rarely had such an experience, only tired and sweaty.
When the two of them finally reached the top of the mountain, the recovery agent in Yun Rumeng's backpack was already one-third less, this mandrill claw was poisonous, and the movement was fast, it was simply a mage's nemesis in the jungle, no matter how strong Xiao Yue's ability was, he couldn't take care of it, and along the way, Yun Rumeng was a little injured and poisoned, and consumed a lot of potions.
Looking at the valley clearly visible at the bottom of the mountain, winding into the distance, Xiao Yue knew that this might be the most important part of the road for the two of them.
The valley is very wide, and the steep mountain walls on both sides are covered with trees that shade the sky, and countless tangled thick vines hang down from the trees and hang down on the valley ground, these dense vertical vines drag on the thick dead leaves, blocking Xiao Yue's vision.
In such a situation, Zai Niu's skill also lost its effect, Xiao Yue took out a hunter's usual machete from his backpack, slashed some vines in front of him that were difficult to open, and groped forward.
Most of the sunlight was blocked by the tall trees in the valley, and only a few barely passed through the overlapping leaves, leaving dappled shadows on the ground covered with dead leaves.
The valley was silent, only the rustling footsteps of the two and the sound of Xiao Yue chopping vines echoed, and occasionally a faint trace of the terrible roar of a nameless beast could be heard from afar.
Yun Rumeng felt a chill, and couldn't help but speed up her pace, following Xiao Yue closely.
The flame barrier vanished and re-blessed her.
After walking for more than an hour, I didn't encounter a single beast that came to attack.
Xiao Yue vaguely felt a hint of unease.
