Chapter 18: The Valley of the Beasts
Around noon, the Broken Blades team finally arrived in the Valley of Alien Beasts.
Due to the presence of the Eye of the Sky, they hardly encountered any danger along the way.
Outside the valley, there is a bloom of goldenrod. Under the "sunshine", large swaths of golden thread grass form golden waves, waving in the wind.
If you're not in the wilderness, you'll feel like you're standing in a golden field, surrounded by landscapes so beautiful that you won't want to leave.
Threadweed is a native of the wilderness, not only for the beauty of the landscape, but also for many large beasts - there is always some life that needs to be hered to maintain the basic biological chain.
Passing through the Golden Thread Grassland, in the depths of the endless golden sea, is the mouth of the Valley of the Alien Beasts.
The valley mouth is flanked by unspeakable high mountains, steep and bare, and there is no way up the mountain. When the golden thread grass spreads to the mouth of the valley, it stops growing, and a thick and dense mist rises with it, making it impossible to see the situation in the valley.
It is understood that the source of the fog is another special plant in the valley, the noctar. This plant grows abundantly on the mountain walls on both sides of the valley mouth, emitting mist as a way to protect itself. Because the golden thread grass grows towards the sun and does not like foggy weather, they use the valley as the boundary ridge, thus forming two worlds with clear barriers.
"So, if you want to pick until the night, you have to climb the mountain?" Standing at the mouth of the valley, Hong Lang craned his neck to look at the mountains on both sides.
The mountain is about three hundred meters high, and the mountain wall is as smooth as a mirror, if there is no climbing ability like Spider-Man, relying on Shen Yi's flying claws alone, I am afraid it will be difficult to walk freely between the mountain walls, let alone pick Yetan.
Yetan, another special product of the Valley of the Beasts.
In fact, from the third difficulty, the wilderness no longer only relies on killing ferocious beasts to obtain benefits, but a considerable number of plants are also part of the benefits, and even more important.
For adventurers, medicine is always an expensive and unacceptable necessity.
Just think about the instant recovery potion of a large purple bottle, the price can be as high as more than 10,000 points, and you can imagine how many adventurers can ruthlessly buy this potion. Speaking of which, adventurers can rely on skills to make up for deficiencies, but all skills have cooldowns. Then during this period of cooldown, the adventurer can only rely on the potion to prevent just in case.
Most of the medicines in the store are expensive, but the city has given everyone the opportunity to make them directly by picking the Wilderness Elixir, which can greatly reduce the cost of purchasing the potion.
And whether the adventurer collects all the herbs or not, the city can customize the medicine for you according to your needs. The more complete the collection of herbs, the cheaper the price.
There are even some medicines that can only be obtained by crafting them - just like equipment or skills, some special medicines can only be obtained by special means.
These drugs tend to work better and have a more extraordinary effect. It is said that this also includes the potion of invincibility - the imagination of the human world is fully embodied in the city, but whatever appears in the game, the city tends to make some of it according to the script.
From this point of view, it is not the bloody urban online game, but the many factors of online games that the world has been learning from the very beginning, and gradually taking shape.
Yetan is an important part of making stealth medicine and mist medicine, like the stealth pill that Shen Yi once used, the price is at least 1,000 points, and using Yetan to make it, it can be done for 800 points. If it is the kind of priority that has a higher priority and the price is more than 3,000 points, it can also be discounted. If you can collect other herbs, the price can be even cheaper.
Fog Flasks, on the other hand, can create an artificial fog that does not affect the user and their teammates.
The more valuable the drug, the more difficult it is to obtain. Yetan grows in the cliffs, surrounded by mist, whether it is found or picked, it is quite technically difficult.
Fortunately, for the Broken Blade team, Yetan itself is a side benefit, and a Yetan plant is only worth a hundred points at best, and you can get as much as you want, so you don't have to care too much about it.
Hearing Hong Lang's words at this moment, Shen Yi smiled and said, "Why do you have to ask us to do it? ”
Hong Lang was stunned, touched his head and muttered: "Yes, why did Lao Tzu forget that you still have a flying soldier." ”
With the presence of pilots, what is a cliff?
King Kong pouted: "Just with your head, what can you think of?"
Hong Lang was furious: "Grandpa, do you dare to underestimate Lao Tzu?"
King Kong snorted through his nose: "Have I seen you?"
Hong Lang was speechless, and everyone laughed wildly.
Shen Yiyi took the lead in walking towards the valley.
The further you go inside, the thicker the fog becomes.
At first, you could see the scenery from a few meters away, but as you traveled all the way, it gradually became a real sight of your fingers.
For the sake of safety, Shen Yi ordered the troops to walk slowly in groups of ten, keeping a distance between them that could be contacted at any time, and not to disperse - once they broke away from the large army in such a place, it would be difficult to find them back.
At the same time, he ordered: "The elite team stepped forward and turned on the fog lights." ”
Twelve sparse lights lit up from the soldier's gun, like bayonets, into the depths of the mist.
This is a fog lamp that Shen Yi specially equipped for Frost and a few of them, but unfortunately it is not a standard equipment, only fourteen elite soldiers have it. Dabinite and Evans went to the cliffs to find Yetan, and at this moment they relied on twelve elite soldiers to find their way.
The lampposts swayed around in the mist, looking for all possible dangers, Shen Yi admonished: "Be careful and keep moving at a constant speed!"
Hong Lang muttered: "Is there no need to be so cautious?" ”
King Kong replied: "Anyway, this is the ground of the third zone, so there is no big mistake in being careful. ”
"What about the three difficulties, the Nether Wolf is not the third difficulty, and we will kill several of them anyway. ”
Shen Yi said: "I killed several people, but it didn't matter to you." ”
Everyone laughed together.
Hong Lang shook his head: "Okay, if you have another chance to meet, boss, don't make a move, Lao Tzu just used J8 to kill a few of them!"
Gentle and angry: "Stinky flood, keep your mouth clean." ”
At this moment, something suddenly flashed in the light ahead.
Frost shouted, "There's movement, everyone be careful!"
Shen Yili shouted: "Stop advancing, circular defense, no matter what the target, as long as it appears, bombard it immediately!
“......”
Everyone lined up with a low smile.
The fog was thick and the valley was deadly silent.
Everyone is cautious and cautious to watch out for the surroundings, jokes are jokes, the Valley of Alien Beasts is a three-difficulty area, even if it is the weakest one, everyone should not be careless.
The lamppost kept scanning ahead, looking for possible enemy traces, and the muzzles of the guns were outward, and everyone was even breathing quietly.
After no movement for a while, Hong Lang touched his head: "Damn, what's going on in this hellish place?"
"Shhhhhhhhh ”
"How much?" asked King Kong softly.
"Can't be sure, the sound is erratic and fast...... At least a dozen of them, just outside of us!"
Frost hurriedly said, "I haven't found anything here. ”
Ralph: "Me too, I don't see anything there. ”
Other elite soldiers also reported that they did not find out.
Shen Yi: "Everyone be careful, it may be some kind of fierce beast with stealth or stealth ability." ”
Shen Yi took out the ghost eye and inserted it into the ground, but still didn't find anything.
Gentle suddenly and urgently: "They're gathering! right in front of us!"
"Fire!" Hong Lang shouted.
Rumble!
All the soldiers opened fire at the same time in the fog ahead, and the sound of gunfire instantly enveloped the entire valley.
Gentle, who didn't have time to retract his hearing, screamed with stimulation, and kicked Hong Lang hard, and a terrible howl suddenly exploded with the sound of gunfire on the periphery.
In the midst of the howl, the soldier Harpy suddenly let out a loud "ah", took a few steps back, and then spat out a mouthful of blood: "Something is attacking me!"
Harpy shouted, and with his scream, Harpy was already flying into the air, as if something had thrown him up, and a bloody hole exploded in Harpy's back.
"It's an alien invisibility!" Shen Yi shouted and fired three shots in front of Harpy.
Three clusters of blood exploded in the air, followed by a terrible hiss.
Ability invisibility is different from normal invisibility skills, and it shouldn't be called invisibility to be exact, but transparent. Transparency cannot be detected by normal probe items, and even when attacking, it will not show its tracks, but the downside is that it cannot ignore attacks during the transparency period, and will expose the target as it is injured or contaminated with other substances.
Shen Yi's three shots were hitting the transparent monster, and the blood flowers floating in the air exposed the target, and everyone's muzzles shot at the sky at the same time.
Hong Lang made a sharp leap, rushed in front of Harpy, grabbed forward with his right hand, and didn't know what he caught, and threw it at the ground, and the iron fist of his left hand had been smashed down fiercely. When he killed the monster and ripped off something from the monster and lost its stealth effect, he found that it was a fleshy pillar.
At the same time, Shen Yi took out the magic spear red lotus and shot it at the ground in the distance.
The Red Lotus Inferno is launched!
This shot was not to kill or injure the enemy, but to force the opponent to show himself.
The sudden flames dispelled the mist, and the distorted light completely uncovered the transparent monster in the mist.
Under the firelight, transparent figures loomed, rushing towards everyone in the distortion of light and darkness.
"Sure enough, it's a Dark Walking Beast!" Seeing the other party's figure from the hazy light and shadow, Shen Yi snorted coldly: "King Kong, use the Death Ripple!"
The Darkwalking Beast, one of the most common beasts in the Valley of Alien Beasts. There are many fierce beasts with stealth abilities in the wilderness, and the Darkwalker is probably the worst of them. Aside from having the ability to be transparent, it doesn't have much to praise in terms of attack and defense, and its attack power is not much better than that of a soldier ant.
Dealing with this kind of hidden but not immune to damage, self-defense, and low health, King Kong's Death Ripple is simply a natural nemesis.
As Shen Yi's order was given, the Grim Reaper's ripples bloomed like ripples of water.
At the same time, the soldiers' bullets blocked the entire surrounding space.
Under the light of the fire, blood flowers burst out in the air like fireworks in the air, accompanied by a terrible shrill sound like an air raid siren that sounded wildly over the valley.
