The compass of desire points to the south.

Ian walked into the forest with a mandala bow on his back, and with his hands he cut a crack in the dense bushes, and there was not even a path in this direction.

The adventurers of Sleep Town have always looked for a barely able path on their own.

More often than not, they don't choose to come to this path for the simple reason that the woods are too dangerous.

"Hiss ......"

An eerie sound rang out from the darkness, and it was hard to tell where it was coming from due to the slight commotion in the forest.

But that didn't succeed in hiding from Ian.

A green light appeared in front of Ian's eyes, and it was the ability of the "guide worm".

Seagulls in the sky provide Ian with a view, and a large red dot appears on the minimap.

[Name: Snake of Fire]

[Level: 16]

[Sequence: Black Iron (Coming to Bronze)]

[HP: 2900/2900, Mana: 1011/1011]

[Skills: Scorching Breath, Sun Fire, Blazing Flame]

[Description: The Fire Snake was originally just an ordinary monster, but due to hunger, it devoured some fire-type magic materials, and its physique changed.]

It has a certain level of fire-attribute spell attacks, and has basic infusion ability, snake blood is a natural fuel, and snake skin is a good anti-combustion material.

The level of regional mana has increased, and you will be eligible to be promoted to bronze in the next few days. 】

Ian switched to the mandala bow and hung an alloy arrow, aiming far away at the fire-based fire snake.

Just as he was about to shoot, another green marker appeared again in the minimap.

Adventurer?

Ian groped his way ahead, and after a few dense patches of grass, he finally came to a relatively empty clearing.

……

Here, a team of 4 is fighting the Fire-Chewing Serpent.

Three of them were badly injured and were on the verge of dying.

The melee adventurer with the long knife was bitten on the arm by a snake, and the wound was charred and blackened.

Poison + burns, it can be seen that the snake that is rapidly becoming stronger has two attributes: poison and fire.

The monsters near Changmian Town, more or less, will attack with a little fire attribute, which is due to the large number of black charcoal in the area.

The squad leader of the team commands:

"Fight and retreat! Don't fight monsters in close combat, its skin is too thick! ”

Their combat effectiveness is insufficient, and they are a little reluctant to deal with the Fire Snake, plus some teammates are injured, and the situation is not optimistic.

"Captain, let's get out of the way, throw the meat out of the backpack and seduce it, now is not the time to be stingy."

The archers were a little tempted to back down.

As they talked, the Fire-Chewing Serpent's attack became more ferocious.

The snake's skin was so tough that some ordinary arrows, even with full strength, could not leave a wound on it.

There is no way to break the defense with an attack, there is no way to fight a battle, and the monsters are much stronger than them.

The Fire-Chewing Serpent first aimed at the dodging archers and spewed out a breath of fire.

The archer hurriedly retreated a few meters, but it was still useless, and the fireball formed by the flames flew in front of him in an instant.

Bang!

The sparks exploded, and the sharp pain rushed from the wound to his head, suddenly making him stunned.

The Serpent of Fire attacked him again, and another archer hurried to his rescue, but his heart was weak.

Both of them were swept to the abdomen by the tail of the Fire Snake at the same time, and at the same time flew upside down to the trunk of the tree.

The thick trunk of the tree staggered from the blow, and countless leaves fell off the canopy.

Looking at this appearance, the brute force of the fire-chewing snake is really a little terrifying.

The last surviving adventurer only felt that something was wrong, but the only melee fell to the ground, and the two archers were also half-disabled.

He lacks combat effectiveness and is only good at medical things, which is really a dead end!

Just then, Ian arrived, drawing the attention of the survivors with a giant bow in hand.

A giant bow the size of a man and a half, unhurried in a dangerous forest, and about one meter eight tall.

The combination of various factors, the survivor's eyes showed joy, and he shouted:

"Bronze Hunter! Please help us! ”

The adventurers they formed encountered the "Fire Snake" before Ian and got into a fight with the monster.

In the ranks, one melee with a long knife, two archers.

And he was a backup with herbs and other items.

That's a standard team build.

Ian looked at their gestures of holding knives and bows, and analyzed that these people were elite, after all, they dared to hunt in the deserted forest.

They are very bold and their strength is enough, but unfortunately, the strength of the monsters is also increasing rapidly along with the increase in the content of mana.

So, the adventurers fought a little hard, and even suffered heavy injuries.

The moment Ian appeared, the Fire-Chewing Serpent re-locked its hatred on Ian.

Leave the rest of the matter at a moment's notice.

Ian gave it the feeling that it was too dangerous.

The snake eyes of the Fire Snake have evolved, and it can see the fire of life in everyone.

The other 4 adventurers, that is, the flames the size of the bowl.

But Ian is different, Ian's flame of life is simply too bright.

It completely does not understand why a human being can have such a terrible fire of life, is he an eternal being?

The snake that chews fire gradually opens its mind, and although it is not comparable to humans, it is able to think logically.

After a brief reflection, it came to a conclusion.

If Ian can be eaten, perhaps it will be the first monster in this area to be promoted to bronze.

This is an opportunity.

The Fire-Chewing Serpent acted, and its entire crimson body soared from the ground, and the color of the whole snake was quite bright, like a flame.

If it mixes into fire, it's really hard to spot, and it even has a flaming skin and a scorching temperature.

It's like it's emitting more than 100 degrees of heat to the outside world all the time.

"You actually used me as a hunting target?"

Ian was stunned for a moment, then suddenly felt a little funny.

High-level monsters possess intelligence, but now it seems to be ...... Wisdom is still a little insufficient.

If you don't understand the difference in strength, it's easy to die in a daze.

Ian hung up 3 arrows and charged 4 stages to meet the Fire Snake that attacked him.

Ignoring the sharp tip of the arrow, the Fire-Chewing Serpent spat out a flame similar to a candlefire wurm when it was aimed at Ian.

Accurate, with extremely strong lethality, but unfortunately it still belongs to the black iron sequence.

"Soul Drain."

Ian activates the player's skill, and the green soul light hovers on the tip of the arrow, forming a mysterious brilliance.

The bowstring was tightened by him, and there was not a faint tremor at all.

Ian let go of his hand.

For!

With terrifying speed, the Alloy Arrow pierced through the flames spit out by the Fire-Chewing Serpent, creating a hollow.

Then, the arrow flew out of the hole in the flames and pierced the head of the Fire-Chewing Serpent.

【-1590！ -1662！ -1554！ (Precision Triple Attack, Vital Attack, Armor Piercing)】

【Kill!】 Soul Drain Strike Base Damage +3]

It was a precise sniper, and the entire head of the fire-chewing snake flying in the air was pierced by arrows.

Bang!

The force of the arrow shattered its entire body and nailed it diagonally to the ground.

Lightning-fast bow drawing and sniping, a one-hit kill can crush the fire-chewing snake of the elite team of 4-person adventurers, and simply lose his life.

"Extraction!"

[Items obtained: EXP *980, Lottery Points*779, Fire Snake Bone *17 (Level 16, Black Iron Black Iron Sequence), Fire Snake Skin *14......]

"Wow......"

The adventurer, who was lucky enough to suffer only a few minor injuries, was stunned by Ian's arrow.

"Good...... It's so strong! ”

This is the Bronze Rank Hunter? Not only is the bow big, it can simply be hung with three arrows fired at the same time.

Moreover, the accuracy is unexpectedly high, and the strength is unbelievably strong!

How could there be a hunter who could do such a thing, it was really terrifying.

For the first time, the adventurers realized how much worse the strength of the hunters of the first bronze sequence in Eternal Sleep Town was compared to them.

It's so different that there's no way to compare.

He stood in place in shock, and only reacted after Ian's reminder.

"Save your teammates first, did you bring medicine?" Ian asked.

"Bring it! I brought it! ”

When you go out hunting, you naturally have to carry some antidote herbs and other things.

His medical skills are very good, and he is mainly good at survival and healing in the wild, so he can join the elite team.

The adventurer with the long knife lying on the ground already had some black faces, obviously poisoned.

The backup takes the herb and mixes it with some other stuff to feed the teammate.

Soon, the long knife player's face returned to normal.

The other teammates were also rescued by him one by one.

"Hoo ......"

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and thanked Ian very much for his help:

"Bronze Hunter! My name is Carlos, and I'm a doctor of the Black Iron Rank! Nice to meet you. ”

Doctors are considered a position, and there is no shortage of doctors in Changmian Town, but it is rare to see incapable doctors who dare to go into the forest to hunt.

"If you don't have enough strength, it's better to pick some safe low-level areas to hunt."

Ian advises to play it safe, and he asks something else:

"I'm looking for grass elves, have you seen any of them?"

"Grass Elf...... Not in this area, I'm afraid further away. The forests of the outer ring have already been investigated. ”

Carlos gives Ian a map of the area.

【Ding! Get a map of the area, updated near the town of Eternal Sleep! 】

[New area "Lost Forest" unlocked, level 15~25, bronze sequence.] 】

The Lost Forest is large, it is located next to the town of Long Sleep, but it is located behind the town of Long Sleep.

It encloses the entire town of Changmeng, and the trees in the forest are resistant to burning, and the flammability is probably no more than 10%.

Trees are not good fuel, but they are excellent defenders against strong winds and desertification.

If you want to come to Changmian Town from other places, you need to pass through the "Lost Forest", which is so large that it is boundless.

The name is interesting, as you can tell from the battle of the adventurer team just now.

"Lost Forest" is not just about turning around, it is easy to get lost.

Adventurers walking in the forest will be attacked by monsters, whether it is poisonous mosquitoes or more poisonous snakes.

When the player is poisoned, the reflexes of the mind are affected, as well as various debuffs.

Poisoning is an extremely dangerous negative state.

Ask for a follow-up, ask for a monthly pass!
