Chapter 27 Flower Demon Forest

"What exactly is needed?"

Taishang Laojun hesitated for a long time before speaking: "Actually, what we need is very simple, but there is really too little information!"

"what does it mean?"

"This is more difficult to explain. Everything is recorded here. You will understand after reading it." Taishang Laojun said and handed over a crystal ball.

I took the crystal ball in confusion, and then input a little magic power into it at the instruction of Taishang Laojun. Then I felt a bang in my head, and the surrounding pictures suddenly darkened completely. One of the flowers looked very ordinary. flowers appeared in front of me. Because the environment I see now is completely dark, and this flower is the only bright thing, the impression is particularly profound. But that crystal ball only interfered with my vision, and my hearing still existed. I only heard Taishang Laojun explaining beside me: "The plant you see now is called wisdom grass, and the petals of that plant are one of the two remaining materials."

"Wisdom Grass? Have you never heard of this name before?"

"It's normal if you haven't heard of it. It's abnormal if you've heard of it! This is actually a very rare plant, but I don't know its specific characteristics at all. Based on that hypothesis I only know that this thing likes to grow in areas rich in magic power, and that it is a specialty of India and is only found in India."

"Damn, I finally know why you don't go get it yourself!"

There is such a stalemate between Heaven and Buddhism now, and I have just offended both Buddhists and Hindus. It can be said that the divine forces in India and the divine forces in our country have basically become mortal enemies. In this case If a person from heaven goes to India, it is almost like committing suicide. It would be better if we knew exactly where this plant was. At worst, we could just sacrifice some low-level personnel to rush in and snatch it out. But the problem is that there is no information about where this thing grows. No matter how awesome the Heavenly Court is, they can't just be here. Are you searching for this plant while fighting with others on the territory of your country? Even if the power of the gods in India is not as powerful as that of Heaven, they are still the gods after all! Don't even think about such a blatant search. The Tathagata in Daleiyin Temple is not the fake Bodhisattva made of mud in the monk temple. He is a true god, who can move mountains and fill seas at every turn. How can he be so easy to deal with?

Taishang Laojun shook his head helplessly when he heard my complaint. "If it's easy, we'll find a way ourselves. You charge so much every time you go out for a mission. If it weren't for the fact that we couldn't help it, we wouldn't have asked you!"

"Hey, you get what you pay for! Although my charges are a bit expensive, but when have I ever let you down?"

"That's right."

"Okay, I will find a way to find this wisdom grass. First, tell me the other thing. What is it? Oh, by the way, you haven't said how much wisdom grass is enough?"

"Wisdom grass is only a material that requires a very small amount. The petals of this flower can grow to be as big as the palm of your hand. As long as you can find a flower, it is enough to pick half of the petals."

"That means just one flower is enough?"

"right."

I nodded. "Fortunately, it only takes a little bit. If it takes hundreds of tons, I will be blind!"

"Hehe, it's not that exaggerated. But the demand for another material is more scary!"

"What is it? How much does it cost?"

Taishang Laojun 'touched' another crystal ball and gave it to me: "It's the same as the one just now, see for yourself."

I took the crystal ball and looked at what was recorded in it, and unexpectedly saw a kind of elf with a pair of colorful wings. "Isn't this the Rainbow Elf?"

"No." Taishang Laojun denied it for a moment, and then added: "This is a hybrid flower demon, a fusion of rainbow elves and flower demons. It is said that it is only produced in the far west."

"Is this thing used to make materials?"

"No, all we need is the kind of powder they shake off from their wings. You know butterflies, right? The wings of butterflies will shed scale powder. They have a similar situation. What they need this time is the kind of powder they drop. pink."

"That should be easier to solve. This kind of thing doesn't seem to be an aggressive creature. It's useless for them to want that kind of powder anyway, so it shouldn't be difficult to buy some for some benefit."

"It's really not difficult to buy some, but the difficulty is to buy a lot." Taishang Laojun said in astonishment: "We need a total of two tons of this powder. Do you still think it is easy to get it now?"

"What? Two tons? This little thing seems to weigh less than a kilogram. Even if there are tens of thousands of them, they can't make one kilogram of powder! You actually want two tons?"

"What can I do!" Taishang Laojun shrugged helplessly. "As I said before, if it's easy, I won't have to look for you!"

I rubbed my temples with a headache, and then asked: "Isn't there any way to find something to replace it?"

"There are alternatives, but they are more difficult to come by than this thing, so I simply didn't tell you."

"What is the replacement? Maybe I can get it?"

"You can definitely get it." Taishang Laojun said seriously: "In fact, you have many such substitutes now."

"Then why not use a substitute?"

"Because the substitute is the colorful magic crystal. Are you willing to give it? Mind you, it doesn't just cost one or two pieces. We need two tons of colorful magic crystal. Compared with that powder, which one do you think is easier? point?"

Taishang Laojun’s words made me instantly dumbfounded. Although our guild now owns two high-yield veins of colorful magic crystals, just like diamond mines, the high yield is only calculated relative to the normal output of the ore itself, and is not really as abundant as coal. Tons upon tons of digging. Generally, a colorful magic crystal mine can be considered a high-yielding rich ore if one gram of colorful magic crystal can be extracted and selected from every thousand tons of ore. Normal colorful magic crystals are found in large-scale ordinary white magic crystal mines. Yes, the actual output ratio is about one to two grams per million tons of ore. Based on this output, the amount of ore corresponding to two tons of colorful magic crystal is almost one trillion tons. Such a large amount of ore can definitely Let us build a mountain that is ranked among the best in the world. Even if we have so many mineral veins, the mining and refining costs alone will bankrupt our guild. Even heaven cannot afford to subsidize this kind of consumption!

"Okay, I'd better go find those fans!"

After discussing the necessary things with Taishang Laojun, I started to bargain with him about the necessary fees, because the purpose of these things is to prepare materials for the freedom of these Buddhist people who have been reborn, and these Buddhist people are Joining Heavenly Court as a mortgage in exchange for Heavenly Court's help means that once I complete the task, Heavenly Court will obtain a group of high-level thugs whose short-term combat effectiveness is equivalent to that of the entire Buddhist sect. This benefit is quite great. If any guild among the players can obtain such a group of thugs, it will definitely be able to easily sweep across the five continents without considering the interference of the protoss forces in various countries.

"The benefits you have gained this time are so great, you have to let me eat no matter what, right?"

"Hey, although the materials you helped us find are the key part, Heavenly Court has other inputs. Don't be too open-minded!" Taishang Laojun warned me with some fear. He has seen my ability to extort money. If I'm not careful, I will be stripped of my skin.

After thinking about the various needs of our guild, I finally suddenly thought of the most beneficial request. "Do you think this will work?"

"What's okay?"

"After I find all the things for you, after you have helped these Buddhist people, what if you let me select a few of them to join our guild?"

"no way."

"What about the windows?"

"Not even chimneys!" Taishang Laojun denied very simply: "Those are gods! No matter how low-level they are, they are not something your guild can control casually! What's more, you want a group of them?"

"That's not what you said!" I immediately explained: "Think about it! Doesn't Heaven want to help me? But due to restrictions, it can't blatantly help us, but this time you are paying, so it doesn't matter. Well, at most it’s because you paid too much, but you can’t be considered a violation of the rules, right? Besides, what can I do with the help of the divine forces? Shouldn’t I expand outward? My territory is bigger, which means that the territory of Heaven is also bigger. This is called rotten meat in the pot. It seems that you have sacrificed several members of the God Clan, but in fact they have all been indirectly compensated from other places. Look...why don't you agree to such a good thing?"

"Hmm..." Taishang Laojun kept nodding his head as he listened to my words, and mechanically made a sound of agreement. But after a while, his voice suddenly said, "Yes" "The sound turned into a questionable "Hmm". "I almost let you go around. Although what you said makes sense, the Gods are the Gods after all, and it is really not a problem to let it go in your hands!"

"You really don't want to do it?" My question was not as tactful as before, and my voice became obviously threatening. Taishang Laojun was stunned for a moment. He was a little hesitant at first, but in the end he didn't dare to make the decision himself, so he had to let me wait while he went to find the big guys in heaven to hold a joint meeting.

I won't be idle now that Taishang Laojun is gone. Because I plan to take advantage of him while he is not here to take advantage of me without telling me. What? Are you saying I stole something? Being afraid of being known by others is called stealing. I call it taking, not stealing. Even if I was discovered, I wouldn't give it back, but then taking it would become robbery.

Although my idea is very good, Taishang Laojun is really a mature man. Although he ran away, he sent two boys over, claiming to be my guide and at my disposal. In fact, they were just to monitor me. spy. However, my skills in deceiving and abducting are not as good as a day or two. These two children can't really watch me to death, but they did add a lot of trouble to my robbery. In the end, when Taishang Laojun came back, I only got a few pieces of fairy grass, Ganoderma lucidum, and a bunch of mythical animal horns and monster tendons. The biggest gain was just a Bagua mirror with similar functions to a laser cannon. As soon as Taishang Laojun came back, he found me carrying a bunch of things I got from him, but before he could ask for them from me, he was knocked back by my deposit. Who said it was them begging me now and not me begging them?

"How was the result of the meeting?"

Taishang Laojun stretched out two fingers. "I can give it to you, but there are restrictions. First, the other party must be willing to join. You can't force them, right?"

I nodded. "That's natural. What about the other one?"

"Only three people can be given to you at most. Even if you convince many people, you can get at most three. If you can't convince any one, then there will be no one. Heaven will pay you with other benefits. .”

"Deal." Haha, three is enough. God is a god after all, and as long as he can pull one out, he can influence a war. When Americans were at their most awesome, they just boasted about winning two wars at the same time. If I had three gods, I could win three wars at the same time. Is there anything more awesome than this? As for not being able to convince those gods to join us, I haven't considered it at all. With my long-term ability to deceive heroes from all walks of life, I don't believe that I can't even convince three of the more than 3,000 abandoned Buddhists.

After finalizing the labor contract, I immediately called Xiao Longnu and started taking action. The first of the three supplies is relatively simple. I can just ask the people in the guild to prepare it. The remaining two items may not all be made by myself. The wisdom grass is in India, but in the eyes of the protoss in India, I am almost like a heinous villain, so it is obviously not possible for me to wander around in India looking for things. In the end, I sent three task teams from my guild to disperse into India to help me find clues to the Wisdom Grass. The mission team itself is specialized in doing missions, and has a relatively complete staffing structure. Moreover, after long-term cooperation and training on missions, it has some experience in gathering information, so the search should be very fast. After they find the exact location of the wisdom grass, I can decide whether to get it based on the situation. If the task is not difficult, just ask them to bring it back for me. If the thing is occupied by some super dangerous monster or large force, Then I can only rely on myself. Task teams are not used to deal with high-level monsters. Our association has always had a clear division of labor in this regard, because I have always believed that only professionals are the best.

The wisdom grass is left to the leveling team to deal with, and I have to deal with the powder on the wings of the hybrid flower demon. After all, the goal is very clear.

After teleporting to Europe, I first inquired about specific information through Ashford, and found out that mixed-race flower demons are actually not rare. They are widely distributed in most countries in Europe, and this kind of hybrid flower demon is not uncommon. Demons are not actually wild monsters. They are a species between ornamental creatures and combat creatures. The creatures in "Zero" are not entirely combat creatures. In order to make forests, grasslands, oceans and other environments look more realistic, all these places in the game will be filled with a large number of biological communities. However, if these places are full of If it's a monster, it would be more depressing, so in fact the largest group of people in the game should be those who watch sexual creatures, such as rabbits and the like. In addition to making the environment natural, these creatures also undertake various tasks. A common function is to become natural resources collected by low-level players, such as food. Another function is to occasionally act as an NPC to help players with certain tasks.

This hybrid flower demon is a semi-ornamental creature. Because there are so many of them and they have basically no fighting power, ordinary players rarely attack them. At most, some girls like to catch a few and keep them as pets. After all, these little ones Things look very beautiful. However, hybrid flower demons are not the same as real ornamental creatures. Although they are not dangerous, they still have some fighting power, especially when there are large numbers. The powder on these little guys actually has a special purpose, which is to disrupt magic casting. When your surroundings are filled with these little things, the air will be densely filled with powder dropped from the wings of these little things, and these powders will be suspended in the air because they are very light. Using spell-like abilities in an environment with large amounts of these powders suspended in the air is dangerous, as there's no telling what will happen to your spells. The luckier ones will be unable to hit the target due to deflection. The unlucky ones will have spells explode in their hands or simply backfire on themselves. That would be called unlucky. However, given that these little things themselves don’t have much attack power, as long as you are not fighting monsters in their residential area, it is usually not a big deal. Besides, their ability is unconscious, which means that it basically affects you indiscriminately. and your enemies, although your spells are affected, so are your enemies.

After learning the information about these hybrid flower demons, I followed the guide assigned to me by Ashford to the edge of a forest where the hybrid flower demons were said to be the most densely populated. The guide sent me to a place and left by himself, because he was a mage, and entering a place like this was no different from committing suicide. How can a mage who cannot release magic normally do anything good if he enters the monster forest alone?

After seeing the guide off, I walked into the forest alone. Although those powders will interfere with the release of spells, they have no effect on the basic attacks of warriors at all, so as long as I don't use skills, there is no problem.

After walking in the forest for a while, I noticed that the environment here is much more beautiful than the average forest. Generally, in order to facilitate players to fight in the forest in the game, the trees are usually very huge, so that the trees can grow taller, and the open crowns can block the sunlight on the ground. The distance can be as wide as possible. Otherwise, it will be like those dense forests in reality. Let alone fighting, the gaps between some trees are even so small that even people can get stuck. How do you fight in such a dense forest? Therefore, the forests in the game are full of towering trees. Once the distance between the tree trunks is widened, it will be easy to fight. However, although the trees in this forest are not small, they are two full circles smaller than the trees in other forests. However, although the trees have become smaller, the distance between the trees has not decreased. Because the spacing remains the same but the trees become smaller, the natural tree canopy cannot block the sunlight in the forest. Therefore, this forest looks much brighter than other forests, and due to the sufficient light, the ground does not look like other forests. They were all fallen dead trees with leaves several feet thick, replaced by crisp grass, low shrubs and a large number of unknown flowers.

After walking for a while in such a beautiful environment, the sound of water gradually appeared in my ears, so I followed the sound and soon found a small waterfall among the trees. The total drop of the waterfall is only more than three meters, and it is divided into several levels, so it does not make the deafening roar like ordinary large waterfalls. However, the water here is much clearer than ordinary waterfalls. Under the light green water surface, you can see many beautiful small fish swimming around, which looks extremely beautiful. Below the waterfall is a small pond with a radius of dozens of square meters. There is a stream connecting the pond, and there are many wild flowers on both sides of the stream. If the guide Ashford sent me before I came here repeatedly emphasized that this is a monster-dense area, I would definitely have thought that this was a non-combat area for unleveled players to watch and play!

"Xiao Chun and Ling come out to help."

"Wow! What a beautiful place!" Xiaochun was conquered by the beautiful scenery in front of him as soon as he came out.

As the goddess of darkness, Ling is relatively resistant to this beautiful scenery. After observing the surrounding environment, she asked in confusion: "Didn't you say this is a high-level monster area? Why is everything so different?" Can’t you see it?”

"That's why I asked you to come out to help! Hey, Xiaochun, don't just play in the water. Use your magic power to detect whether there are any strong magic fluctuations nearby."

"Oh." Xiaochun and Ling activated their detection magic at the same time, and soon they both shook their heads together.

"No?" I asked in surprise.

"It's not that there's nothing, it's that you can't see it!" Ling said.

"can not see?"

Xiaochun nodded and replied: "It's like there is a magic barrier around us. We can't feel anything. Our magic can only extend more than a hundred meters and we can't receive the return signal at all!"

"Is there something around you that is absorbing your magic power?"

"No." Ling added: "It feels like the air here is covered with a layer of high-energy matter. Our magic is not absorbed, but because the surrounding air is full of rich magic elements, so that We can’t tell which is our own magic power at all, so we can’t detect things far away at all!”

"Strong interference?" I was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly thought of a possibility. Taishang Laojun said that the substitute for the powder on the wings of the hybrid flower demon is colorful magic crystal, and this is the area where the hybrid flower demon is densest, which means that the powder scattered by the hybrid flower demon should be everywhere here. Then based on the information provided by Ling and Xiaochun, the powder falling off the hybrid flower demon is probably a high-energy substance similar to the colorful magic crystal. This kind of thing will constantly radiate magic elements to the surroundings. Because its powerful energy covers other magic bands, it will cause the mage's spells to be out of control. If the real ability of these powders is to absorb magic, then the mage is here It should be that the magic cannot be released or the power of the magic is reduced. It should not be that the magic explodes or loses control. In this way, the function of this powder may not be as simple as it seems. These things may be a new energy source that can be used instead of the colorful magic crystals.

While I was speculating on the possible utilization of this new energy, Ling suddenly turned behind me and recited a spell loudly at the same time: "In the name of darkness - barrier of nothingness."

A green vine hit the barrier the moment it was completed, but then the barrier flashed twice and then suddenly collapsed. Following the vine, Ling's surprised eyes crossed the barrier and headed towards it. We flipped over. I pulled Ling behind me, and at the same time I stepped forward and cut off the flying vines with my sword. Green slime sprayed out from the break, and the broken vines The vine twisted back like a wounded snake.

"What is that?" Ling Xin asked with lingering fear.

"It seems to be a magic vine." After I finished speaking, I said to Xiaochun and Ling: "You two go back first. This place is not suitable for legal professions."

The two people nodded and disappeared at the same time, followed by Yeyue and the king, who appeared next to me. In this environment, pure combat professions are more advantageous. After the king and Yeyue appeared, a crack suddenly opened in the ground, and the rose vine penetrated into the ground through the crack. At the same time, I released the newly collected demon pet Black Flame. The current level of Black Flame is still relatively low, so you have to bring him with you regularly to gain experience points to upgrade.

As soon as the rose vine penetrated the ground, it immediately began to grow crazily in all directions. Soon a large ball of soil suddenly exploded on the ground not far in front of us. Two plant vines, one black and one green, were twisted together and started to grow from the ground. came out.

"Over there." While the two vines were strangled together, I also found the location of the vine that attacked us through the guidance of the rose vine. Following my guidance, the black flames suddenly flashed around the king, and the whole person disappeared. The next second he appeared where I pointed. The black magic sword pierced the ground fiercely, and there was only a strange scream. The surrounding ground was suddenly lifted away, and countless vines like entwined snake holes stretched out from the ground like crazy. It started dancing, but because it had no target, it couldn't hurt the king at all. It just danced crazily in the air for a few seconds and knocked down a large number of trees. Suddenly, they all collapsed and quickly withered and disappeared in place.

The king pulled out the green magic sword, looked at it, and then said: "This is a magic plant, and its vitality is very tenacious." Because the current king has completely turned into a negative energy creature, he has a special attribute 'Sex' means that it can absorb the enemy's vitality and magic power to replenish itself, which is equivalent to always turning on a powerful blood-sucking aura plus a magic-sucking aura.

"It seems that this place is not as beautiful as it seems." Yeyue sighed.

"Maybe!" I looked at the messy ground that had been beaten, and then suddenly turned around and threw a flying knife. There was just a clanking sound, and the flying knife was nailed straight into a rock beside the waterfall, and there was an inexplicable bleeding wound in the air in front of the rock. A palm that seemed to be made of air suddenly covered the wound, and the wound immediately became blurry, almost as if it had disappeared into the air, but the faint shadow still exposed the target. If the other party is not discovered, they may be able to get away with such a disguise, but under our high attention, such a disguise will not help at all. I waved my hand and another row of darts formed a straight line on the ground, and a shallow footprint stopped in front of the straight line composed of flying knives. "I guarantee that after you step over the row of throwing knives, the next throwing knife will be directly 'inserted' in your chest."

After I finished speaking, I continued to stare at the situation over there. I just waited for a long time but no one responded to me. Yeyue also turned around to face the invisible guy, and at the same time, one of her hands had reached the edge of the goggles. "Master, it seems that this guy doesn't give you face!"

"Then teach him a lesson!"

As I finished speaking, Yeyue's hand gently pressed down, and her eyepiece immediately became transparent. Although it was only for a moment, a headless sculpture appeared in front of her. The lower half of the sculpture has been completely turned into stone, but the head is completely invisible, apparently still invisible. It's just that it doesn't make much sense to just make your head invisible when your entire body has become invisible.

"What kind of magic is this?" The other party finally began to speak, with shock and panic in his voice.

"Why are people nowadays so confused about the situation?" I walked to the sculpture, circled around him, and then patted the other person's face with the ever-changing sword spine. "Am I captured by you? Even if you want to be a hero and refuse to answer my questions, at least you can't take away my right to ask questions, right?"

"I won't say anything." When the other party heard my words, he refused completely.

"Good, it looks like we have nothing to talk about. So does anyone else have anything to say?" I said and turned to scan the surrounding clearing, which seemed to be empty of anyone.

When I glanced around, it was obvious that the turf on the ground shook for a while, and then the sound of a sword being drawn suddenly appeared, and then I heard a bang. A dozen large holes suddenly opened in the ground around me, and dozens of vines rushed out. The ground rolled a dozen invisible human figures into the air, and then the rose vine began to tighten forcefully, and screams immediately came from the air.

"Don't crush them to death yet, I want to ask some questions." I reminded Rose Vine aloud. Those people who were tied up like rice dumplings were immediately brought to me. "Since you don't know how to respect others, then don't blame me for disrespecting you." I said and suddenly slapped the face of the first person who came to me. Although he couldn't see anyone, he could still tell where his head was because he was entangled in rose vines.

The guy who was beaten immediately became angry. "Why did you hit me?" Although you can't actually kill someone in the game, you can still humiliate the other person. For example, slapping is a very serious act of humiliation, especially in the eyes of Europeans. This is an extremely bad behavior.

I still spoke calmly when I heard the other person's throat call. "This is a game. Killing and being killed are normal situations. Even if you attack me first, it is just a matter of your strategy and has nothing to do with you. But since you have been caught by me, you should be treated as a prisoner. Like. It’s okay if you don’t answer my questions, but you are still in stealth mode, don’t you think you are very rude?”

After I said this, the other party's anger stopped, but they did not appear. The meaning is already obvious. They are deliberately humiliating me. This is a kind of disrespect in attitude.

"Okay, I don't mind if you like to play passive resistance. It's not my unlucky thing anyway." I said and took out a bottle from my body, and then poured a pill out of it. "Do you know what this is?" I asked myself before waiting for the other party to speak: "Let me tell you, this is a good thing. Originally, this is a medicine for upgrading. After you leave Novice Village, it is important to If you take one of these pills, you can rise to the level corresponding to the 'pill'. The one in my hand is level 413, which means that a level 20 player can rise to level 410 immediately after taking one pill. Level 3. Do you think it's powerful? But...this thing is not a fixed experience value, but a fixed level. That is to say, a person at level 20 can be promoted to level 413 or 400. Even after eating, I can only reach level 413." At this point, I suddenly slowed down and my tone became eerie. "However, recently I found that people who are over level 413 have taken it... and the effect is the same. No matter how high it is, you will only be level 413 after eating it."

Those people who didn't understand what I meant before finally understood it now. Without me saying anything else, those people immediately began to struggle violently. Just kidding, today's players don't count the small ones. Even if the large players are at a lower level, they are generally above level 600. Taking such a 'pill' will reduce you to level 413. Even a person with a lower level will be reduced to more than 200 levels. People don't care much about losing one or two levels, but losing two hundred levels is definitely a price that will drive most people crazy. Besides, I have seen the levels of the people I caught here, and the lowest one has already It's level 789. If you take this medicine, it will be a lot of fun.

Looking at the struggling figures, I smiled evilly and walked up to the guy I slapped, and then raised the 'medicine'. The guy screamed immediately. "No, don't give me this food! I don't want to eat it! Don't demote me!"

"You don't want to eat?"

As soon as the other party heard my words, he nodded desperately, and then realized that I couldn't see him, so he quickly cried: "No, no, no, no, boss, I'm begging you! We were wrong, we shouldn't attack you! Please!" You’re being fed that food! It’s not easy to work so hard to reach so many levels, please show your respect!”

"Oh? Are you telling the truth?"

"Yes, it is absolutely true!"

"Then why can't I see you?"

Only then did the other party realize what the problem was, and quickly cried: "Hero, you misunderstood. It's not that we don't respect you, but that we can't help it! We drank a special thing, and then we had three hours of During the invisibility time, before the effectiveness of that thing disappears, even if we want you to see us, we can’t do it!”

I said so! After working on it for a long time, it’s not that it doesn’t show up, it’s that it can’t show up. I really thought I met a group of people who wanted to be martyrs! "What did you drink that made you invisible?"

"It's water from a spring nearby. As long as you drink it, you can become invisible. However, it is only effective for three hours. After the time has passed, you have to drink it again. Otherwise, no matter how much you drink at one time, you can only control three Hour."

"Show me some."

"Sorry hero, we don't have any with us!"

"Are you a liar? Why don't you carry such a good thing with you? What if after you finish drinking, it's almost time and you find the target you want to attack, will you just give up?"

"We have no choice but to give up!" The person explained: "It's not that we don't want to take it, it's just that we can't take it with us! We have also thought about taking some with us before and then replenishing it when the effect is almost gone, but we don't know how. What's the reason? Anyway, all the spring water we brought out has lost its effect. We have to go to the spring to drink it. The spring water we brought out is no different from ordinary water, and it can't be invisible!"

"Is there such a thing?" I thought about it and felt that this made sense. After all, they had even talked about the spring water, so there was not much point in hiding it. "I'll believe you for once. Now tell me what are you doing here? And why did you attack me?"

"that……!"

"You want to take 'medicine' again?"

"No, no!" Once I threatened the guy, he no longer dared to squeak. "Actually, we are a group of bandits who specialize in robbing players. Because there is a very precious medicinal herb in the depths of this forest, many players will come here together to collect it, and then we will use the invisible spring to sneak attack passing by. A team of players exploded their equipment and grabbed the medicinal herbs they brought out from the depths of the forest. This is safer than going in to collect medicinal herbs yourself, and it is also much more efficient. The reason we attacked you, hero, just now is because we discovered your The equipment is very good, so I want to grab it.”

"You've been doing this for a long time and you don't know me?" I only realized now that these guys don't know me. Otherwise, with my reputation, there would be many people attacking me, but they would never attack my equipment. Idea, after all, it is basically impossible.

"Hey...should we know each other?"

I waved my hand. "Are you the only one who knows about the spring you are talking about?"

"There used to be some people passing by, but everyone usually prepares drinking water before entering the forest. No one would drink water from unknown sources. We had no choice but to knock out the water bag during a nearby battle. After drinking the spring water and discovering the use of that thing, we began to consciously attack the players who were approaching, and no one knew about it."

I nodded. What this guy said is reasonable. If I were them and they found such a treasure, they would probably find a way to occupy it. "Okay, tell me how long your invisibility will last?"

"Report hero, we just came here after drinking the spring water before we met you. There are still two hours and thirty-seven minutes left."

"Then you all stretch out your hands and raise them forward."

Although they didn't know what I wanted to do, these people still obeyed me quite obediently. The rose vine sent those people in a straight line, and then Yeyue's eyes flashed, and the first half of the arms of those guys turned into stone. The invisibility effect disappeared automatically after being petrified, so I saw a row of stone arms suspended in mid-air. After petrifying the hands of these guys, I asked Rose Vine to release those guys. Even the guy whose whole body was petrified before was also petrified by Ye Yue and then re-petrified his hands, so that I could easily see them.

"Okay, now take me to the spring."

"Yes!" Although they were very reluctant, after all, the pill in my hand was too threatening, so they had to take me towards the spring.

Because their hands were petrified, these guys have lost the ability to resist. Now even if they have weapons, they can't hold them, so naturally they can't resist. Besides, they had no intention of resisting. I had caught all my stealth attacks before, and now that they couldn't use their hands, they had no chance of winning.

After walking for a while, the guy who had been talking to me carefully asked: "Um... how did you discover us before?"

I said nonchalantly: "Do you remember the cane that caught you before?"

"Remember to remember."

"He can sense ground vibrations within a certain range around him. Unless you can fly, you will be discovered as soon as you move. And the two of them. When you see her snake tail, you should know that she does not see things by sight. , you can become invisible but cannot eliminate the heat energy on your body, she can see infrared rays, do you think you can avoid it?"

"Damn, it turns out we were the ones hitting the guns ourselves? How did that cool guy over there see us?"

"He is an undead and relies on life energy to identify targets. If you can kill yourself, he will not see you. By the way, haven't you encountered masters when you are robbing here? What if you can't defeat him?"

"There are always winners and losers in battles. Even if we don't work here, we are still likely to be defeated? Besides, we have support here! We can rely on our stealth ability to carry out sneak attacks. This alone can kill many people, even if there are a few People who are more powerful than us can also kill him with the advantage of our large number of people. Moreover, this place has the magic powder of the hybrid flower demon, and the magician players cannot exert its power. We are all warriors here, and we can become invisible unless We meet someone as strong as you, otherwise how can ordinary people be our opponents?"

This guy is right. With so many advantages gathered together, except for super experts like me, even those at the level of True Red may be killed accidentally if they come.

"You said this place is full of the hybrid flower demon's magic powder. Do you know where the hybrid flower demon lives?"

"Hybrid flower demons all live in a garden deep in the forest, where valuable medicinal herbs grow."

"Do you know where that garden is?"

"I've been there twice before, but I was killed as soon as I entered. There is a kind of medium-sized monster there. Although it is not big in size, it is surprisingly powerful in combat. We killed them all in one encounter!"

"Do you know how that thing attacks?"

"Speed. That thing is very fast, and its combat skills are better. As for whether it has magic, we don't know. I haven't seen it used, but I guess not. After all, that place is the home of the hybrid flower demon. There is magic powder everywhere, and ordinary magic cannot be cast normally at all, and the possibility of blowing yourself up is even higher."

"I understand. Take me to the spring first."

Under the guidance of a few people, we quickly arrived at the location of the spring. On the surface, the spring looked like an ordinary spring. It was a small, approximately circular pool with a radius of less than one meter. There was a hole in the center of the pool slowly bubbling out water. There was nothing else strange about it. Because I couldn't figure out what caused the invisible effect of the spring water, I didn't pay much attention to it. There were more important things to do now.

"Now you guys will take me to see where the mixed-race flower demon lives."

"Well...can you not go?"

"What do you think?"

"Then just pretend I didn't say it!" The guy thought for a while and then added: "But let's talk about it first. It's really dangerous there. We probably have to hang there, but it's better to be killed by a monster than to be killed by a monster. It's better to take your 'medicine', so we don't mind taking you there, but don't blame us if you are attacked!"

"This is natural."

"That's good."

After receiving my affirmative reply, they began to lead me forward. The forest behind them was surprisingly quiet, and they encountered almost no attacking monsters along the way. Speaking of which, this forest is really strange. All the high-level monsters are concentrated in one area, and the periphery is almost a vacuum area. Generally, the distribution of monsters in other forests is very even. Like this, the areas are "specific" This is the first time I have seen the distribution method.

After walking for about half an hour, the trees in front of us began to become sparse, and the forest seemed to disappear. It was only after these people's explanations that I realized that this was a characteristic of this forest. The trees get denser as you get to the core area, but here it's just the opposite. After continuing on for more than ten minutes, there were almost no trees around us. There were waist-deep plants everywhere with an unknown herbaceous plant, which swayed like waves when the wind blew. However, I am extremely cautious about this kind of place, because this kind of grassland is simply the best place for small and medium-sized creatures to ambush large prey.

"Stop." I stretched out my hand to signal those people not to move.

"What's wrong?"

"There's something approaching. Very fast."

"It should be the kind of thing that attacks us. You'd better be careful."

"Ringtone Knight." There was a circle of people around me instantly, and those guys following me were all stunned. I ignored their surprised looks and directly ordered: "Scott, protect them."

"clear."

With the protection of the Ring Knight, those people should not be in danger. Yeyue, the king, I, were careful to guard one direction, because that was where the monsters were rushing. After about a few seconds, several gaps appeared vaguely in the grass in the distance and rushed towards us quickly. It was obvious that under the gaps was the kind of monster they were talking about.

When the front gap was about seven or eight meters away from us, a black shadow as big as a large dog suddenly flew out of the grass. When the thing flew to the highest point, I finally saw the whole thing clearly. It was a very ugly monster. Its body had a layer of skin armor like a crocodile, but its body was much shorter than that of a crocodile. Its limbs were similar to those of a large carnivorous dinosaur, with short forelimbs and long hind legs, but its forelimbs were not The forelimbs are as deformed as Tyrannosaurus and Velociraptor, which are just shorter than the hind limbs. They can also be used for normal running, but because the hind legs are relatively long, they have good jumping ability. This guy's head is relatively large, and his mouth is almost as long as his body. There is a double row of teeth in the huge mouth, and there is a row of sharp horns on the middle line of the mouth. Each of these horns is longer than the other, all facing forward. Bend, they should have good attack power, and with their big mouths, they look quite scary. Compared with the long heads, the tails of these guys are much smaller. They look short and stubby and probably have no direct effect.

Seeing the first monster rushing towards me, I immediately gave way half a step to the side, flipped my wrist, and turned the Eternal Sword in a circle in my hand to create a gorgeous sword flower. The monster was split from the middle. The two halves crashed into the grass behind. Before the body of the first monster hit the ground, the monsters behind jumped up one after another. The king stood there with a sword like a meat grinder. All the monsters that jumped towards him were cut into pieces. As for Ye Yue, It turned all the monsters that rushed towards me into stones.

"Isn't it good?" I looked back at those people in confusion and asked.

The guy who had been talking to me didn't answer, but just pointed forward. When I looked back, I immediately understood why they were so afraid of this kind of thing. The grass in front of them was almost falling down as if it had been driven over by a steamroller. Behind them, densely packed monsters were lining up and rushing back like locusts.

"I'm so confused. Why didn't you tell me earlier that these things win by quantity?"

"We didn't know there would be so many! Last time there were more than ten high schools and we couldn't withstand it!"

"Damn, luckily I have a lot of people, otherwise I would have been killed by you!"

"Everyone is out working!"

After releasing all the demon pets, I immediately took the lead and rushed forward. Although these monsters are huge in number, their actual combat effectiveness is not very good. The reason why those guys can't deal with it is because their own skills are not very good. As long as they can dodge the most deadly first attack, the subsequent attacks will actually be better. It's all simple.

After my demon pets appeared collectively, the situation on the battlefield immediately reversed. Although there are many low-level monsters, they are completely inferior compared to my perverted demon pets. Especially those large magic pets, relying on their high attack and defense to rush back and forth among the monsters, quickly smashed the monsters to pieces. However, not all magic pets on our side are performing well. Among them, legal professions like Ling and Xiaochun have serious problems. Ling tried to release a dark blast, but it hit Plague directly on the tail. If everyone hadn't been on their own and didn't count the damage, Plague would have turned into a gecko! However, we still managed to defeat the monster group without spell support, it just took a little more effort.

Just after we killed the last monster, a huge roar suddenly came from the forest ahead, and the whole ground trembled. "Hey, you guys. What is that thing screaming?"
