Chapter 5 Entering the Ruins

Chen Fang went back to the residence to put away the purchased things, and then found Yiyi and the others who were tidying up the room.

"Uncle is going out for a while, he probably won't come back at night, you don't have to wait for me, the rest of the money will be given to you Yiyi, you can buy whatever you want to eat." Chen Fang handed the money bag to Yiyi and touched Yaya's little girl. The head ordered a few words.

Then they left under the reluctant eyes of the two little guys. Chen Fang would still be worried when he went out, but now that he moved to Liu Liuliu's place, he was half relieved.

Today was a busy day. When Chen Fang set off, it was almost dusk. Chen Fang didn’t ride the electric bike. This time, he went to the forest and had no place to put it. So when he arrived at Lushui Forest, it was already night. But it's a good time to pick explosive mushrooms.

Exploding mushrooms are best picked at night time, because this kind of mushrooms will close the canopy when there is no light, and at the same time the activity is also reduced, which greatly reduces the possibility of explosion.

When picking explosive mushrooms, use the tip of your nails to quickly scratch the mushroom cap, and finally dig the soil to remove the roots. Chen Fang didn't understand why it was such a process. He spent three silver coins to learn it from a plant collector.

The daytime in Lushui Forest is quieter than night, but the danger is less than that at night. During the daytime, adventurers come and go, and diurnal creatures hide more or less. At night, there are a lot of adventurers, and nocturnal creatures start to look for food. Howling dogs bark one after another.

Chen Fang walked carefully in the green water forest, observing his surroundings vigilantly from time to time. The green water forest was close to the city of new life. It didn't take much time to get here, but it took a lot of time to walk inside the forest.

Of course, you can also walk over there carelessly, as long as you are not afraid of encountering powerful mutant creatures, don’t think that there are no powerful mutant creatures in the wild near the city. Wherever they gather, the ecological chain is always in the shape of a pyramid. The places where low-level mutant creatures gather are the hunting grounds for mid-level or high-level mutant creatures. Fish, the level is generally mid-level.

Skyfish is a general term for mutated creatures that look like fish and live in a perennial cloud layer above the sky. People call the cloud layer they live in the sky sea. A very short-lived tornado will appear in a short period of time. This natural wonder will connect the surface of the earth and the bottom of the sky ocean. In a short period of time, it will suck the fish near the bottom of the ocean into the lower realm like a flush toilet. These sky swimmers In the process of the fish being in the lower realm, they are not known to be changed by any substance, and they can actually swim in the air without the influence of a carrier medium. What is even more frightening is that when they are alive, their attack power in the form of fish is not weak, and they are killed Afterwards, it directly transforms into another black bird with scales all over its body. In this state, it is immune to most physical damage, which makes some adventurers with few skills a headache. The most important thing is to eliminate this form, and it will fly directly. There is no ash left, and there is no economic value at all.

The reason why Chen Fang is so careful is to avoid the fish in the sky. If he accidentally bumps into one, it will be troublesome. The fish in the sky wanders around the forest all day long. It will not be attacked. By the way, the lower-space swimming fish lives by devouring its own kind, and attacking other creatures is only out of instinct.

Chen Fang's destination this time is the place where the explosive mushrooms were picked before. Originally, he didn't want to go to such an unlucky place. After all, being punished by justice from heaven for no reason has psychological shadows, but Chen Fang only knows that the place where the explosive mushrooms grow the most It is impossible not to go to crowded places.

It took half a day to arrive at the place, which is at the bottom of a cliff on the fracture surface of a hillside. The explosive mushroom grows on a protruding platform three meters above the ground. The platform is about the size of a room. Besides the explosive mushroom growing on it, there are There is a tree with a crooked neck, on which Chen Fang was thrown off the cliff before and fell to the ground. If it weren’t for the small difference between the two, and the physical fitness of the awakened person is stronger than ordinary people, Chen Fang might not be close to the first seven. God.

Chen Fang climbed up on the uneven surface of the cliff, and heard someone talking to him as soon as he emerged.

"Hey, isn't it a disgrace to the Adventurer Branch of Newborn City? I heard that you were smashed to death here, and you were sent to the hospital and even worked as a guinea pig in the Pharmacist Branch. How dare you come here? Don't be afraid He was smashed to the hospital again."

It was a very annoying voice, harsh and uncomfortable to hear. Chen Fang didn't answer right away. He climbed up and stood firm, and looked at the young man in red and blue clothes in front of him. "Harden, you are also a member of the Five Shame of Freshmen. Mr. Hooligan, Governor of the City, don't hurt each other. Why are you here? Why don't you stay in the city and run around here in the Governor of the City?"

"It's all arranged by some good people. I was raised by my parents. What can I do? Don't talk about this, what are you doing here?"

Harden is not a bad person, but he is born with a ruffian and vicious appearance. When he was a child, he learned to walk and did not choose a good partner. He fell into a very awkward walking pattern. Before he was an adult, he was always beaten or beaten for no reason The people patrolled by the city governor were taken away as hooligans, and this bad luck became known to everyone over time, and everyone jokingly called him a born hooligan.

Due to being arrested too many times by the city management department, he formed an indissoluble bond with the people inside. When he became an adult, he joined the city management department under the introduction of someone he knew. Chen Fang knew him because he was reported for illegal construction. At that time, it happened that Harden took over the handling. Harden admired Chen Fang for raising two young children alone when he was single and financially poor. With his help, Chen Fang was temporarily exempted from punishment and demolition. The plight of the illegal building, the two usually have contact with each other as friends.

"I asked you first, but you asked me instead. I didn't complete the mission last time, so I came here to continue." Chen Fang pointed to the exploding mushroom growing under the big tree and said.

"Oh, then go pick it. I came here because of the crack in the ruins." Harden walked to the cliff and gestured. Chen Fang looked over and saw a three-meter-high whirlpool on the cliff. The space crack where three people advance side by side.

"Why didn't I see this crack in the ruins last time I came here?" Chen Fang was stunned for a moment, he had already seen this crack in the ruins when he came before the bigger place.

"According to the people in the war department, it was broken by the meteor yesterday. When the people in the war department came here, the crack just formed. Now there are several professors doing research in it. I was sent to guard here." Harden Find a flat place to sit down and talk.

"Just you guarding alone? You are not afraid of accidents, and you are not from the city management department? How can you help the war department to watch over the door?" Chen Fang said.

Adventurers are mixed with good and bad people, and there are more people with bad intentions and disobedience. Places like ruins have always been flocked to, where wealth, weapons and strength are gathered. As long as they are discovered or rumors are heard, they will swarm here like hungry sharks smelling blood. , You can't stop it if you want to.

"There is not enough manpower to deploy. I am just standing guard outside the entrance. Naturally, there will be a group of soldiers watching from the entrance." Harden yawned and said.

"Oh, then just watch, I'm off to pick mushrooms."

Seeing that Harden had no desire to continue the conversation, and looked drowsy, Chen Fang didn't say much, went under the tree, took out the bag and started picking mushrooms.

The most troublesome thing about picking mushrooms at night is the light problem. Since the fish in the sky are very sensitive to fire at night, it is best not to light a fire. Fortunately, there are no clouds in the sky today, and the light from the two bright moons is enough to illuminate the field of vision. Chen Fangshou The work is not slow, he has picked the exploding mushrooms many times, practice makes perfect, it doesn't take much time for fifty mushrooms.

After gathering the bag of mushrooms, Chen Fang finally heaved a sigh of relief that he had no mission to hold him down.

"Harden, can I go in and take a look? I've never seen the ruins in my life." Chen Fang went to Harden and knelt down and said.

"Come on, the city of new life was built on the site of the ruins, and I haven't seen it before." Harden despised it, and couldn't find a better reason.

"I'm talking about the one in the space crack, it's amazing, isn't it?" Chen Fang said.

"It's up to you, anyway, you adventurers don't want to let go of this opportunity to make a fortune." Harden said.

"But let me remind you, there are a lot of people who went in today and the inside is messy. I stayed here for a whole day and carried out dozens of people. You should think about it." Harden said.

"I'm just going to have a look and be careful, thank you for reminding me."

Chen Fang thanked him, and then entered the entrance of the ruins under Harden's watch.

Passing through the crack in the space, Chen Fang entered the interior of the ruins. The first thing he saw was the soldiers of the war division relying on the simple fortifications to guard against them. These soldiers in blue and white costumes were divided into several teams to patrol or stand guard.

"Adventurers? Come here and register, and tell you the rules by the way." A war commander with a silver sword badge on his chest shouted at Chen Fang sitting on a table and chair not far away.

There are three kinds of badges for the war division, gold, silver and bronze, which represent the class respectively, and the silver is generally for the middle-level people of the war division.

Chen Fang walked over, and the chief of the war department took out a form for Chen Fang to fill out.

There will be some rules in the ruins under the official control. To enter the venue, you need to register the information and leave the badge representing the identity of the adventurer. When you come out, you will pay 10% of the harvest. All data will be cleared, which is no joke for adventurers.

"This relic is open to the public for one month, and you are not allowed to enter after one month."

"This relic was originally undeveloped, and the payment fee has been increased to 20% of the income."

"If you find book scroll formulas and the like in the ruins, they are not allowed to be destroyed and taken out except for skills. Copying is allowed, but it needs to be kept."

"Pay attention to your personal safety. We don't care about the conflicts between adventurers in other places except the camp. You need to come back here to register every three days. If it exceeds ten days, it will be treated as missing, and if it exceeds one month, it will be treated as death."

"Supplies are open here every day, and those who need them can buy them."

After the commander of the war department gave an explanation, Chen Fang left the filled-in information and badge and officially entered the ruins.

The ruined walls are covered with dense plants and vines, and the ground is paved with large bluestone slabs. Looking up, you can see a tall temple in the distance. On both sides of the road leading to the temple, adventurers in twos and threes are either alone or in teams. mobs.

There are usually two types of relics, one as long as the core of the relic is not destroyed, the monster will reappear after a period of time after being eliminated, and the monster will drop various cores and strippable affinity substances; the other will not reappear when the monster dies , this kind of relic is often very dangerous, and of course the harvest is the best; the official generally only controls the former relic, after all, it is the most stable source of core resources.

Chen Fang never stopped along the way. His goal was the temple. He wanted to try his luck to see if he could find something that could be sacrificed. As Yiyi and Yaya grew bigger and bigger, it would be inappropriate to hang around like this In order for them to live a good life, it is necessary to be strong, and the system gave him this opportunity, and he was a little sorry for God's gift if he didn't grasp it.

Through Chen Fang's observation along the way, the monsters here are the most common goblins, and their strength is probably at the level of the second or third level of awakened people. This is good news, at least for Chen Fang, it can still be dealt with.

Awakeners are divided into the third level of high school and junior high school, and each level is divided into five levels. The first level is to awaken elements, the second level is to determine affinity substances, the third level is to evolve elements, and the fourth level is to choose whether to become a spell-type awakener or a weapon-type awakener. The fifth level After the precipitation, the weapons and equipment elements are melted and casted. After the five bodies are fully armed, the breakthrough becomes the intermediate level. This is a watershed for the awakened. There is a huge difference in strength. Among all living beings who can reach this level in the past year, only 5,000 people have been engraved on the stele of the forerunner of the Awakening Hall, and 103 people survive.

When he came to the temple, Chen Fang was stopped by the Zhansi guards. He was told that he could only do activities on the first floor of the main hall. The second floor is the core of the ruins and he could not enter. If he ignored the warning and went there, he would be killed on the spot. Of course Chen Fang obeyed, he had no head Hard enough to ignore warnings.

Walking into the temple, Chen Fang found that the inside of the temple is very large, with many rooms, some of which were occupied by the adventurers who arrived earlier to spawn monsters, and some of the few monsters were only brushed by one or two people. Chen Fang searched and found no one to blame. There are still few rooms to go in.

Although the purpose of this trip is to find items that can be sacrificed, Chen Fang feels that he also needs to familiarize himself with the skills he got from the system, and try his current quality.

There is a statue with a big sword in the room. There are monsters scattered around the statue in twos and threes. They are Goblins that are also very common in the outside world. Chen Fang first observed with his probing eyes and got a piece of information. Goblin warriors, melee type .

Well, this skill is useless, and it tires the eyes.

"mold"

Chen Fang activated his skills, and a white circle appeared on his right hand. There was a knife handle in the center of the circle. Chen Fang stretched out his hand to hold the knife handle and pulled it out slowly. Three seconds later, Chen Fang held a complete light knife in his hand.
