Inside the serpent's lair.

Lu Nan stood next to the campfire, used cards, and summoned Chick, Mipoleus, and Despicable False Eye.

Chick and Despicable False Eye each have their own tasks, one to find a target and the other to fight.

Mepolelius was of little value in battle in peacetime.

But this trial involved poison and herbs, and Mipoleus had a lot of room to play

In addition to crafting antidotes, it can also pick up useful herbs and poisonous weeds to take away.

It's all here, all the work is done, it's not too much to take away hundreds of millions of herbs, right?

In addition to the three of them, Lu Nan also summoned the remaining three undead demon rabbits.

They will stand about 100 meters in front of Chick, searching for the location of the poisonous mushroom for Chick, so that Chick can avoid it.

Lu Nan operated the lord unit and stayed next to the bonfire without action, allowing the undead demon rabbit to enjoy the effect of [Conductor].

Make arrangements.

Cheek headed for the west side of the jungle first.

The terrain here looks relatively low, and Lu Nan thinks it is more in line with the description of the [low-lying location] where the crown stinging snake is located.

The three of them soon disappeared.

Lu Nan took out the map.

At this point, the map is completely black, and only the terrain around the campfire can be seen.

The name of the map has also changed to [Stinging Snake Lair].

And next to the map name, there is an additional option.

Lu Nan clicked it, and in the drop-down menu, you can select [Old Days] and switch the map content to the territory side.

With each step Cheek takes, a small patch of the map lights up and shows specific terrain information.

It's really convenient to have a map.

Lu Nan was studying the map and noticed that Chick's movement had become faster and irregular.

Fighting?

Lu Nan cuts the camera to the third person on Loftus-Cheek.

Really.

Directly in front of Chick, there are three green stinging snakes covered in needles, about 2 meters long, and their bodies are standing upright.

Lu Nan looked at the attribute of the stinging snake.

【Jungle Stinging Snake (2-Star Leather Armor)

Health: 1500

Strength: 60

Dexterity: 40

Wisdom: 20

Spirit: 10

Skill: Spike Haunting】

[Spike Riddling]: The stinger on the snake's body will fall off on its own when it hits an enemy, and will hook the target's flesh, causing severe pain.

If you want to remove the spikes, you will be dealt damage by barbs, each of which deals 35 damage.

……

The attributes are average, and the skills seem to have no effect on the fleshless undead.

Loftus-Cheek faced three stinging snakes at this time and played with ease.

Soon, all 3 stinging snakes were killed.

Lu Nan's points have been increased to 30 points.

The scoreboard is updated in real-time, with changes immediately at the end of the battle.

The first place is Lu Nan with 30 points.

Second and third place is both 20 points.

Nancy saw the battle of Cheek at this time, and rubbed her nose in shock: "This is too good to fight......"

Even though she thought that she had overestimated Lu Nan, seeing Chik's battle with her own eyes, she found that she still underestimated this [Undead Sword Saint].

However, she didn't know the ability of [the conductor], so she was inevitably a little confused.

Why didn't the Undead Sword Master personally raise his sword to fight?

can be called a sword master, shouldn't they all be masters with swords, very capable of fighting?

……

The change in the scoreboard also attracted the attention and surprise of the other [Hydrangea] lords and [Sword of Oath] lords.

Hydrangea is real, and Lu Nan is not taken seriously.

The Sword of Oath seems to be quite friendly, but in fact it only sees the Hydrangea Lord as a competitor.

But the [Undead Sword Master] who was accompanied, by default, surpassed them in gaining points at the beginning of the battle?!

After a brief moment of surprise, they each found what they thought was a reasonable situation.

The Hydrangea Lord believes that this Undead Sword Master has some kind of burst card that can burst into powerful combat power in a short period of time.

She'd seen similar cards before, with high damage and very good for a short period of time.

However, these cards usually have a long cooldown.

The Lord of the Sword of Oath took into account the information that he had seen the [Stinging Serpent Society Cannibalism] before entering the [Trial Space].

The undead sword master may have missed a mistake and ran into a stinging snake that was fighting each other.

Neither of them thought that a level 4 lord with no full buildings could be stronger than them.

This kind of cognition is not all because of superiority and arrogance, but from the lord intelligence they have come into contact with, the superiority of the high-level lord over the low-level lord is all-round.

As long as the battle is extended, the real difference in strength will be reflected.

……

After reading the scoreboard, Lu Nan looked at the lower right corner of the screen.

No prompts appear.

Killing the transcendent monsters of the trial space will not trigger Chick's [Divine Body].

This is the same as [Duel Space].

Lu Nan didn't really care about this.

Anyway, the main purpose of this trip is to get the [Extreme Winter Stone] and get the weapon left by the Fire Rider, and it is not a big problem not to trigger the [Divine Brave Body].

Loftus-Cheek moved on.

The undead demon rabbit walked all the way, and every time he found a poisonous mushroom, he would stand next to him and remind Lu Nan.

The Despicable Prosthetic Eye flew farther away, searching several areas of the stinging snake's activity.

With the map, the areas where these extraordinary monsters are active can be marked directly on the map.

During the previous exploration, Lu Nan could only let the transformed undead go in one direction, so as to confirm where the target he was looking for was approximately.

Now that we have a map, it's so much more convenient.

Mipoleius was not idle.

It was very good at identifying herbs, and soon found three herbs, [White Bell], [Red Rue], and [Worden Grass], to make antidotes for smearing poisonous mushrooms.

This antidote is not only quick to make, but also very detailed.

The undead do not have a digestive system and can only make potions for external use.

After making the antidote herb, it began to pick all the valuable herbs according to Lu Nan's order.

Including poisonous mushrooms.

Soon, it made a different discovery when it picked herbs next to decaying leaves and vines.

With its ability to explore the ground, it found the terrain a bit strange.

After a few moments of careful searching, it peeled through the stacks of leaves and found a hole.

Meanwhile.

At the bottom right of Lu Nan's screen, a prompt popped up.

Surprised, he clicked on it and took a look.

[Event Log: Your minion "Mipoleus" discovers the entrance to the Hidden Snow Zone, enters the Hidden Snow Zone, and kills all targets to receive additional rewards.] 】

……

There is still a hidden snow area?

Not only Lu Nan was surprised, but Nino and Nancy were also surprised.

Nino looked at Nancy, "What does the Hidden Snow Area look like?" ”

Nancy said with a hint of guilt: "We never knew there was a hidden area here......

It may be that He left some special trials, but we never found out......"

Dwarves who don't like to fight, even if they enter the [Stone Tablet Trial], they leave in a hurry, and no one has explored it carefully.

Their inadvertentity seems to ruin a lot of elaborate designs......

While the two of them were chatting, Lu Nan had already made a choice.

Lu Nan is going to give it a try.

Since there are also battles in the Hidden Snow area, there should also be points to be gained.

And Nancy said that there is more than one Trials Tablet.

With a chance to try, Lu Nan felt that he could explore it.

Even if you can't get the first place this time, it's not a big problem.

Under Lu Nan's orders, Loftus-Cheek quickly turned back.

In this operation, only one of Cheek's minions participated.

Despicable False Eye and the Undead Bunny continue to search for their targets, and it is best to find out the location of the Crown Stinger.

Now that you have a map, you can plan your route in advance.

After Cheek came out of the hidden space, he was able to kill these extraordinary monsters as quickly as possible.

Soon, Loftus-Cheek arrived at the entrance to the area marked on the map.

Lu Nan operated Chick and entered the hidden snow area.

In the blink of an eye, Lu Nan came to a cave.

The terrain here is simple, with several cave openings next to it and a stone platform in the middle of the cave.

Below the screen, an exclamation point appears again.

[Event Reminder: Please take the weapon on the stone platform, and use the weapon characteristics and terrain to kill the five waves of extraordinary monsters that are about to appear.]

Current Progress: 0/5]

……

Lu Nan operated Chick, walked to the stone platform, and retrieved a bow and a quiver with 100 arrows.

There was movement outside the entrance to the cave.

Some humanoid monsters made of metal, powered by steam and tracks, rushed into the cave.

There are 10 in total.

Lu Nan glanced at their attributes.

【Training Combat Robot (1 Star)】

It looks like a fierce monster, but in fact its attributes are average.

After Lu Nan started the trial, he handed over the battle to Chick.

Cheek's own strength is super high, and with the longbow that only adds 3 points of strength, it still shows an extremely high level of combat power.

With only 9 arrows, Chick was able to take out 10 [Combat Robots].

One of the arrows hit the effect of one piercing two.

In fact, there are some high platforms in the cave, which are suitable for archery, and fight from high to low.

But Loftus-Cheek didn't need it, and it ended the fight without moving.

Lu Nan's points have not changed, which makes Lu Nan frown.

The worst has emerged.

In battles in the Hidden Snow area, there are no points to earn.

Moreover, the entrance to the hidden snow area has been sealed by a stone gate.

You can only go out after the fight.

Nino and Nancy, watching Lu Nan stay at 60 scores, both became nervous.

The other two lords also paid attention to Lu Nan's point growth stagnating.

The Hydrangea Lord took the lead over Lu Nan.

It made her feel a lot better.

She didn't think about what happened to Lu Nan, but thought that the current point ranking was normal.

The first is her, and the others are not important.

A few seconds later, the Sword of Oath Lord also surpassed Lu Nan.

He also believes that this is the real power ranking.

The good use of that undead Sword Saint Lord was exhausted, so the points fell, which was very normal.

He no longer paid attention to Lu Nan's points, but stared at the Hydrangea Lord, secretly cheering up.

……

After the first round of battles in the Hidden Space, the progress in [Event Hint] has become [1/5].

The weapon in Cheek's hand vanished.

A second weapon appeared on the stone platform, a long sword.

Lu Nan's mentality has always been very good, and the poor life in Dream City has given him a good ability to accept and stabilize his emotions.

He didn't dwell on why the hidden space couldn't get points, but thought about ending the battle as soon as possible and leaving here.

The despicable prosthetic eye is still marking the target.

In the process of Cheek Omitting Exploration, there is still the possibility of overtaking the other two lords.

Lu Nan used the fastest speed to operate Chik and retrieved the long sword on the stone platform.

Take down the weapon and the trial will begin, and moving faster will save you some time.

There was movement at the entrance of the cave.

Lu Nan took advantage of the time before the monster rushed in and glanced at the attributes of the long sword.

The sword increases its strength by 10 points, and its stats are mediocre.

The second wave of transcendent monsters has also changed.

They are also [Combat Mechs], but they have swords in their hands and their bodies are made of significantly lighter materials, making them skill-based enemies.

The battle was still in the hands of Loftus-Cheek.

Lu Nan looked at the battle on the screen and had some guesses.

Combined with the God of Forging, this place of trial was deliberately left behind, and it felt that the Hidden Snow area was a place to teach combat skills.

Complete the battle with different weapons.

And the weapons are poor, and it is necessary to rely on the strength of the challenger itself.

However, the design of the God of Forging is obviously a bit too strong, and it wants the dwarves to take the rankings, and they want them to participate in the trial.

Maybe in the eyes of the God of Forging, his believers are all good.

In the time that Lu Nan was thinking, Chick had already killed 10 monsters in the second wave with one sword.

Broken parts in one place.

The progress in the event tooltip has been changed to [2/5].

Lu Nan operated Chick and took the third weapon.

A Thorn Shield with spikes.

It has a 6 strength bonus and reduces physical damage by 15 per attack.

The enemies of the third wave are all archers.

This trial is obviously a test of advancing with a shield and counterattacking after getting closer.

But Loftus-Cheek naturally doesn't play like that.

It danced the shield in its hand in a circle, as if it were holding a long blade, and rushed towards the [Combat Robots].

The agility of [Combat Robot] is too far from that of Chick.

They couldn't see Chick's movements clearly, and the bows and arrows in their hands naturally couldn't shoot accurately.

10 arrows, all missed.

Cheek rushed forward, swung his shield, and smashed a Combat Robot with his back.

Nancy and Nino watched the whole thing, and they were shocked by Cheek's fierce but easy way to fight.

The shield is what you use like that?!

Fifteen seconds later, the third wave of battles ended.

A fourth weapon has been refreshed on the stone platform.

This time it's a dagger.

Nancy looked scared.

Luckily, the dwarves hadn't entered this snowy area.

The dagger is the most hated weapon of the dwarves.

Loftus-Cheek doesn't like daggers.

This weapon is too light and too small to be as good as a hammer.

But just because Loftus-Cheek doesn't like it doesn't mean Loftus-Cheek won't use it.

It took the dagger, and its posture changed, its body was half-bowed, and its steps were nimble.

The fourth wave of [Combat Robots] are more slender and dexterous, and they also hold daggers in their hands.

Loftus-Cheek stepped forward and quickly ended the fight.

However, in the course of the battle, it smashed an enemy with its foot.

At the entrance of the cave, a [Combat Robot] appeared again.

Kills can only be done with weapons.

Cheek rushed up and took out the [Combat Robot] that appeared later.

Lu Nan looked at the scoreboard.

1: Hydrangea spp.; 180 points

2: Sword of the Oath; 170 points

3: Undead Juggernaut; 60 points

……

The gap of more than 100 points does not seem to be much, and killing more than 10 stinging snakes can make it up.

But judging from the points that the Hydrangea Lord and the Sword of Oath Lord are tightly biting, it is difficult to chase 10 points, let alone 120 points.

Nino was in a hurry, and her toes were clenched.

Nancy kept rubbing her big nose as well.

Although she said that it would be good for Lu Nan to take the second place, after seeing Chick's combat power, she unconsciously had expectations for the first place.

Hurry up and finish it!

In the nervous gaze of the two of them, the fifth weapon refreshed.

A heavy hammer.

Nancy's eyes lit up.

Lu Nan understood the intention of the fifth wave of design, and smiled at the corner of his mouth.

Bonus level, right?

Finally gave the dwarves a weapon to use.

Lu Nan operated Chick to take the weapon.

In the fifth wave of enemies, the star rating has been increased to 2 stars, and the number has been adjusted to 5.

The overall difficulty is higher than before.

The life of this trial was obviously designed with the dwarf in mind that after the dwarf took the hammer, he had to give the dwarf strength.

Loftus-Cheek took the hammer and rushed forward.

A chaotic battle.

Loftus-Cheek used his incredibly powerful combat skills and nearly 360-degree dodge ability to pull off the final wave of battle with ease and speed.

At the bottom right of Lu Nan's screen, the [Event Prompt] disappears, and a new exclamation mark appears.

He clicked on it and took a look.

[Event Log:

You have completed the Hidden Snow Zone Trial in the "Trial Space - Stinging Serpent's Lair", and the Dwarves of the Iron Hammer Clan have been rewarded with a Crafted Extraordinary Material Gift;

Hammer Clan Dwarve's forging success rate increased by 1%; Increases the attributes of forged products by 3%; And get 2 pieces of new equipment forging method]

Yes?

Lu Nan looked at the incident record and couldn't laugh or cry.

Completed a trial and the rewards went to the Dwarves of the Hammer Clan?

Now it's really a booster.

But Lu Nan is not uncomfortable.

The dwarves took the reward, and Lu Nan had to ask them for at least one piece of equipment later.

The character shown by the dwarf should not be denied.

We'll talk about it later.

Get down to business first and get your points back.

On the scoreboard, the Hydrangea Lord's points have reached 220 points, and the Sword of Oath Lord's points are still very tight, with 210 points.

And Lu Nan is still 60 points, which has not changed.

Lu Nan has to chase 170 points in order to surpass the Purple Sun Lord.

The other two lords didn't care about Lu Nan at all, they didn't communicate, but they tacitly agreed that this was a point difference that was impossible to catch up.

Lu Nan felt that there was a chance.

He manipulated Chick, left the Hidden Snow area, and rushed towards the area of the Stinging Snake that had been marked on the map!
