In the next journey of Neilin, fortunately, the two of them did not encounter those powerful demonic beasts again, and at most they encountered fourth-level demonic beasts. With Lin Tao as the main force, it was naturally easy to solve it under the dragon's lack of strategy. Along the way, Lin Tao counted the magic cores he had collected, and he didn't know if he didn't look at it, but he was really scared when he saw it. There are more than thirty demon cores here, including one each for the fifth-level and fourth-level demon cores, seven third-level magic cores, eight second-level magic cores, and the rest are all first-level magic cores.
Lin Tao smacked his lips, he had also heard some information about the price of magic cores when he was in the Lesler Tavern before. After a slight estimate, these magic cores in his hand are probably worth tens of thousands of gold coins.
Think about the large number of mercenaries and adventurers who travel back and forth to the Black Forest every year, in addition to completing tasks, they will also hunt a large number of magical beasts, take out the magic core in their heads, and use it as extra money. With such high profits, it's no wonder that these people are happy to do it.
Lin Tao had to hand over all these demon cores to Long Que, in Lin Tao's opinion, if there was no help from Long Que along the way, it was unknown whether he would be able to get to this point safely, let alone hunt so many demonic beasts.
Long Que just smiled and asked Lin Tao to keep it himself, and when he got out of the Black Forest, he kept it and sold it, which was enough for him to study at Baidi Academy, and he was an ascetic loner, so the gold coins were of no use to him, could he still expect to spend them in the Black Forest?
Lin Tao thought about it and felt so, but he always felt that he had taken a big advantage, and he was a little embarrassed.
Long Que's keen insight naturally easily discovered Lin Tao's worries, and said that when he got tired of being alone in the forest, unable to eat warm food, and lonely to the point of being too lonely, he would go to Lin Tao, and rely on him for food and drink.
Seeing Long Que say this, Lin Tao let go of his thoughts, and his heart was warm.
When the endless woods gradually disappeared, a blank prairie appeared in front of the two of them. There is no end to this grassland, and the weeds are inching, and they are as tall as half a man. A strong wind blew, and the weeds that were half a man tall moved with the wind, like waves of grass.
This is the first time Lin Tao has seen such a magnificent grassland. "When I first heard the name Black Forest from mercenaries and adventurers, I always thought that the Black Forest was an endless forest, trees. I didn't expect there to be an endless grassland. ”
"The Black Forest is just a name, not just a wood. There are also lakes, grasslands, and mountains. It's a lot smaller than the forest. ”
Sighing slightly, Long Que continued: "From here, there is still about a week to go, and we will finish the last journey in the Black Forest. At the other end of the steppe is the exit of the Black Forest from the city of Kelsa. Speaking of this, Long Que changed his words, "It's just that this week's formation will be the most dangerous journey." ”
Lin Tao's heart froze, and he asked, "Is it more dangerous than Neilin?"
Long Que smiled, "Of course. Because the forest is not suitable for the survival of some carnivorous demonic beasts to some extent, because there are very few animals at the bottom of the food chain there, without these animals, those powerful demonic beasts will lose the foundation of survival, and it is naturally unlikely to continue to live there. However, the savannah is different, and the environment here is extremely suitable for those powerful carnivorous monsters, so I said that the danger has just begun. ”
Lin Tao nodded, full of ambition in his heart, last night's thinking made his mentality more optimistic and positive.
When the two walked through the last piece of Shunlin and entered the prairie, Lin Tao knew how difficult it was to walk here. The dense grass crossed in front of him, especially the weeds here were half a man tall, and walking in the middle, the sawtooth of the weeds would easily pull on the skin, leaving a hot feeling. There is no need to mention mosquitoes in the grass.
It's struggling. These four words can best describe the current situation of the two people.
After only walking for half a day, Lin Tao felt a sense of exhaustion all over his body, which usually only happened when he finished his day's journey.
On the other hand, Long Que still walked like a fly, unaffected by the surrounding environment in the slightest.
Lin Tao looked envious, the effect of living and exercising in the Black Forest for six years is really self-evident, this is not comparable to Lin Tao who has only stayed in the Black Forest for more than a month. What's more, the perception of strength between the two is also extremely obvious.
Unconvinced, Lin Tao suppressed the strength of his whole body, and tried to speed up the pace under his feet, closely following Long Que's pace.
From a distance, I saw two black shadows moving rapidly on the vast grassland, and two lines of imprints were stepped on behind them.
The two of them didn't have much food left, so they only lived barbecue when night fell, after the day's journey, and they were hungry for lunch.
During the break, Long Que wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked up and said, "This morning's time is relatively safe because I have just entered the prairie, but it is unknown whether it will be in the afternoon or tomorrow." I remember that when I passed through the prairie, I encountered countless magical beasts along the way, and the most troublesome were some magical beasts with magical attacks. However, the most important thing to pay attention to is the environment under your feet. ”
Hearing this, Lin Tao looked at Long Que and asked, "What?"
"I've come across a very strange beast, and like the Grass Beast, it's so good at disguising itself. It's green itself, and even disguises its tentacles as weeds, so if you're not careful, you can't tell which is a weed and which is its tentacles. The headache is the ability of this magical beast, although it is not as powerful as the grass and wood beast, but the cunning is more than that, and it will also cause you a lot of trouble. The most important thing is that the number of this kind of magical beast is extremely large, and most of them live in groups. ”
Hearing this, Lin Tao reflexively moved his body and looked back at the surrounding weeds. Imagine an unnoticed weed-like tentacle grabbing your calf and trying to pierce your skin and suck your blood with its roots. When you slay one of them, the tentacles of the other beast wrap around your legs.
Thinking of this, Lin Tao simply shuddered, his skin had goosebumps, and he cursed in a low voice: "This ghost place." ”
With a faint smile, Long Que said: "As long as you are more careful, there is nothing, but the skin that has been punctured will feel some pain and numbness, this is because it contains a small amount of toxins." Hehe, instead of thinking of the current environment as an ordeal in which you suffer. It's better to think of it as an alternative way of cultivation, exercising reflexes. ”
Lin Tao's eyes lit up and nodded, it is true that when the environment cannot be changed, it is better to face it positively and optimistically than to be pessimistic and obedient, maybe it will be different to see the world.
Lin Tao said with a smile: "Is this the so-called happiness in suffering, have you lived like this for six years?"
"Pretty much all. Long Que's voice was a little low, "If I don't think like this every day, with the age when I was just an adult, I'm afraid I can't bear the loneliness and this terrible environment for a long time." ”
After a short rest, the two hit the road again.
According to Long Quan's method, he regarded the environment in front of him as a cultivation and made fun in suffering. Lin Tao really felt that it was still effective, at least he wouldn't feel tired so easily.
The long sword in his hand was slightly raised, according to Long Que's statement, maybe he would encounter that damn demonic beast at any time, and Lin Tao had to make sure that he cut off the tentacles that were wrapped around his calves and tried to suck his blood at the first time.
