Chapter 36 Long Yuan Lin

Since we couldn't determine which of the three locations was the correct target, we had to check them one by one. The first target chosen was Long Yuan Lin, who was the most suspected. According to the information we obtained after searching for more than three hours in the library, the probability here was as high as 75%. If it is really here, there is no need to check the other two places.

At first, we thought the name of Longyuan Forest was strange, but after we arrived, we found that the name was really appropriate. The situation in Longyuan Forest is very similar to the mangrove forest during floods. The entire forest is submerged in water, and the water is full of tree roots and vines, making it almost impossible to walk. Speaking of which, this place is still a leveling area. The trees on the periphery of the forest are very sparse, and you can enter by boat. This place is rich in a kind of large flying insects, which is a good place for fire mages to level up.

The four of us took a look outside the forest, and then compared it with the instructions on the mission scroll. The more we looked, the more we felt that this place should be where Ni Lin is. The nearby players didn't react to us at first, but one player suddenly pointed at the real red and shouted: "National weapon. The national weapon of our country."

"Isn't that Ziri?" asked a girl.

"What an exaggerated piece of equipment!" people along the way sighed.

"I'm jealous!" Xiaobai muttered.

Kristina patted me and Zhenhong: "You are really famous!"

"Why doesn't anyone remember me?" Jin Coin sighed at the side.

"I don't want to be remembered yet!" Zhenhong looked around and said, "Seriously, have you figured out how to enter the Longyuan Forest?"

I looked back at Jin Coin and Kristina's skirt. Jin Coin immediately shouted: "Don't look at me, the Tianzun suit doesn't touch water at all."

Kristina shook her head: "If it's 'tide', it's 'tide'. It's not like the robe becomes ineffective if it gets wet."

Zhenhong said from the side: "We want to remind you to wear something underneath. If your clothes get wet, they will stick to your body. Don't get naked!"

Kristina lifted her skirt playfully. I was about to avoid it, but I was surprised to find that she was actually wearing armor under her skirt. "Hehe, I had thought that there was a lot of water in this place, so I specially put on a decorative armor with no attributes inside."

"Then it'll be fine." Zhenhong pointed to the front: "Kristina and Jin Coin can take the boat. Ziri and I will push you down below."

"Well, let's do this for now. It's best if you don't make yourself wet."

When the gold coins arrived, he was not polite and jumped directly onto a ship. Kristina followed the gold coin and walked up. Zhenhong gave three crystal coins to the NPC next to him, which was regarded as buying the boat. These boats are actually made of tree trunks here, and they are quite crude. You can rent or buy it. Because we wanted to go deep into the forest, we bought the boat. It was not expensive anyway.

After the two of them got on the boat, Zhenhong and I walked directly into the water, one of us holding on to the hull and pushing the boat forward. Although this place is completely submerged in water, the water actually only reaches people's chest. Most of the nearby players just jumped into the water like us. Only some wealthy and sophisticated players will rent boats.

In fact, the biggest use of the boat here is not to avoid getting wet, but to move faster. The root systems of plants under the water surface are too dense, making it very difficult to move when there is water. Zhenhong and I were basically swimming forward while holding on to the hull of the boat, so we were not afraid of the things below.

"It looks so scary here." Kristina said, looking at the dense forest in front of her.

Zhenhong nodded and said, "It does look very spooky inside."

Although they are still on the outskirts of Longyuan Forest, those trees can already grow to a diameter of nearly one meter. These trees are completely different from the trees we often see. Their trunks are not cracked bark, but covered with a thick layer of moss, and many trunks are covered with parasitic plants. The branches above the head were also entangled with each other, and it was impossible to tell which tree they belonged to. There are also a large number of vines attached to it, entangled together, and it feels like the entire sky is tightly covered, with no sunlight able to penetrate at all.

At first, it was fine when we walked on the outer edge of the forest, where there were many people and few trees. But when we got deeper, things started to go wrong. There are vines hanging from the branches covering the top of the head, which look particularly lush because no one has been in or out for a long time. In some places, it can even form a barrier like a curtain, which is impossible to get through without cutting with a knife.

In addition to the lush vegetation, the water deep in the forest seems to be getting shallower and shallower. Before, Zhenhong and I could hold on to the boat and swim, but now we had to swim in the water with one foot deep and one foot shallow. It was too troublesome to drag the boat away, so I simply summoned Ye Ying, and then asked Jin Coin and Kristina to ride on it, so that Zhenhong and I didn't have to drag the boat away. We can take it easy on ourselves.

The plants in this forest are so lush that we all have flying magic pets. In the end, the only one who could use the ground was Ye Ying. Other familiars have wings. And here the wings cannot spread at all.

As we were walking, we suddenly heard the sound of something falling into the water from the side. We turned around and saw that it was a fruit that had fallen into the water and was floating there. When I thought about it again, it was wrong. I quickly looked up and saw a few things moving on the trunk of the tree.

"What did you see?" Jin Coin asked.

It didn't matter if he didn't make a sound. When Jin Coin opened his mouth, he only heard a whine from the tree trunk, and a swarm of insects flew up like a group of bombers taking off. The huge buzzing sound was the sound they made by vibrating their wings.

"Flowing flames sprayed out?" A pillar of flame sprayed out from Kristina's staff, and all the bugs were burned to charcoal and fell into the water with a crackle. Kristina put away her staff and said with emotion: "This is indeed a paradise for fire mages to level up!"

"What's wrong? Do you have a lot of experience?" I asked Kristina.

Kristina nodded: "These bugs are all level 650 creatures. I burned hundreds of them to death just now. Although they are very strong, they have no fire resistance at all. As long as they are fire-type Mages can almost defeat these bugs. In addition, the experience value of these guys is also very high. The plants here are all well-hydrated and can be set on fire at will. And there are no other monsters. The flame mage does not even need to bring bodyguards, he can do it by himself. Come in and level up.”

"What you said is not entirely correct." I interrupted Kristina.

"Why?"

I used Eternity to pick something from the tree next to me. Both the gold coin and Kristina were shocked. I saw a black leech nearly half a meter long hanging on the eternity. If it were sucked by this thing, it would probably turn a person into a mummy by the time it is full. Fortunately, the armors of Zhenhong and I were both fully enclosed, and Yeying, Kristina and the gold coins did not touch the water at all.

I smiled and said: "The mage doesn't bring a bodyguard. If he falls into the water, he will be dead. This thing can suck the mage dry."

Kristina twisted uncomfortably: "It's better to throw it away quickly! It's disgusting!"

I smiled. Black flames suddenly burned on eternity, and the leech immediately turned into ashes. Zhenhong suddenly reached behind his back and pulled out a dagger and threw it at me. Before I could react, the dagger flew past my head. When I turned around, I saw the dagger stuck in the trunk of the tree, with an ugly multi-legged insect nailed to it. This insect looks like a centipede, but it's too big, and it has huge pincers on both ends. It's not clear which side is the head. It's scary at first glance.

Jin Coin said uncomfortably: "This place makes me feel uncomfortable all over!"

"Ah!" Kristina suddenly jumped up like a cramp, and in a flash she fell off Yeying's back. Fortunately, I was right next to her and reached out to catch her. But he saw her hand shaking while pointing at the gold coins. I looked up and saw a colorful spider as big as a bowl crawling behind the gold coin.

When Jin Coin noticed that Kristina had fallen, he wanted to turn back. I quickly shouted: "Don't move." The gold coin seemed to be frozen and did not dare to move. I handed Kristina to Zhen Hong, then stretched out Eternity, and when the sword tip burst into flames, the spider immediately turned to ashes. "alright."

"What on earth is it?" Jin Coin asked us in confusion.

"It's better that you don't know." Zhenhong said as she put Kristina back on Yeying's back.

I pulled out the real red dagger and gave it back to her while saying, "There are quite a lot of bugs here. Just wait a moment and I'll put some guards out to prevent you from being afraid."

"Well. It should have been released a long time ago!" Kristina complained.

I opened my wings, and a large number of black feathers fell down, turning into steel bees and flying buzzingly in mid-air. More than a thousand Steel Underworld Bees scattered in all directions. These guys were all carnivorous insects, and their combat power was very strong. Even monsters with higher levels than them could win with their numerical advantage.

Ever since I had the protection of the Steel Dark Bee. We will no longer be harassed by insects. However, the action speed is still slow. This ghost place is not a place for humans at all, and most of the known methods of action are inappropriate here. Fortunately, we got lucky and found valuable targets quickly. In the dense forest, we actually found a large building, which looks a bit like a pyramid, but not exactly like it. Although it is generally a sloping stacked structure like a pyramid, each floor of this building is much smaller than the one below, with a total of only five floors reaching the top.

I sent a large number of pathfinders to fly around this thing. It turned out that the area occupied by this thing was surprisingly large. in addition. The path-exploring Steel Underworld Bee also helped us find the entrance.

The entrance to this building is only 1.68 meters high. Zhenhong and I had to bend down to get in. Kristina had to bow her head slightly, and she could only stand upright and walk in if she only had gold coins. In addition to being short, the entrance to this passage is also very narrow. The left and right widths are never more than one meter. Anyway, I can easily reach the walls on both sides, and it is difficult for two people to change positions.

The passage is already very narrow, and what's even more disgusting is that this building is actually submerged in water, but the water in the passage only reaches the thighs, not too deep. But the depth of the water makes the passage appear smaller, which puts a lot of psychological pressure on people. Fortunately none of us are claustrophobic, otherwise we would have gone crazy.

This passage is made of rocks. I don’t know how it was built. There is not even a crack in the wall. It is probably built with something similar to cement. There were originally many murals on the walls, but now they are covered with green moss, making them look furry. It was extremely quiet in the passage. There were only a few of us walking and the sound of ground water echoed in the passage, which sounded quite weird.

Kristina suddenly asked: "Do you feel cold under your feet?" The hole is too narrow. In addition, the water is not deep, so Kristina and Jin Coin are walking now.

I looked back at Kristina and found that her face was so pale. After thinking about it for a while, I immediately understood the reason. "Close your eyes and don't open them no matter what you feel."

"Why?"

"It's for your own good anyway."

"Oh!" Kristina finally closed her eyes. I asked her to hold the gold coin, then lifted up her skirt and asked the gold coin to help carry it. Squat down and grab one of her feet, let her transfer her strength to the other leg, and then lift her foot out of the water. fine. Nothing. I asked her to switch legs again, and sure enough, I saw a nearly one-foot-long leech attached to the back of her leg. She almost screamed in fright, but it was covered by the real red.

"Don't open your eyes." I warned again, then used Eternity to peel upwards along her skin, and when it reached the leech's mouth, I carefully scraped off the leech. I picked up that leech in one go, boy. It weighs at least four or five kilograms. This guy can really suck. The flames flashed on Eternity, and the leeches and blood disappeared together. "Okay, you can open your eyes now. The gold coins will help her restore blood."

After hearing that I asked for gold coins to increase her health, Kristina quickly looked at her blood volume. "Huh? Why do I lose so much blood?"

Jin Coin said with some fear: "It's leeches. They suck like a rolling pin."

"Ah?" Kristina was startled.

Jin Coin quickly comforted her and said, "Don't worry, it has been burned by the purple sun."

I smiled and said: "The temperature in the woods is very high. Even in the water, it shouldn't be too cold. You just felt cold because you lost too much blood."

"Isn't it? I lost so much blood and I didn't even feel it."

Zhenhong said expertly: "The leech's mouth has secretions with paralyzing and anticoagulant effects. The longer it is sucked, the less noticeable it becomes. If a person comes here to level up alone, he may find that he has been sucked blood in the end. By the time I hit the ground, I didn’t even have the strength to remove the leeches.”

Jin Coin was a little worried and raised his feet to look at it for a long time. I was afraid that I would also be sucked. Zhenhong smiled beside her and said, "What are you afraid of? With the Tianzun suit on your back, water can't even touch your skin, let alone leeches!"

"Are you a little scared after all?"

Kristina shook her head and said, "If I had known better, I would have gotten a sealed armor like yours!"

I smiled and raised one leg and stepped on the wall next to me, exposing my leg above the water. "See? The sealed armor only prevents bites, it doesn't mean they won't get close to me. There are three leeches crawling outside my leg armor at this time. They can feel my body temperature, but they can't find the entrance, so they just Can crawl around around my armor."

"It's so disgusting. Put it down quickly." Kristina had just been bitten by a leech, and now she felt hairy all over her body. I smiled and threw her a small bottle. She looked at it doubtfully. "what?"

"Capsaicin. Although it is more irritating, it can prevent mosquito bites. You decide whether to apply it or not." I have tried this before and it is super spicy, so I didn't take it out at the beginning. I guess girls can't stand it.

Kristina carefully poured some of it into her hand, and she seemed to be fine. Then I rubbed some on my legs. As a result, tears fell immediately. "Wow! Isn't this thing too exciting?"

"Bee balm in the real world is also very irritating, and the insects in the game are relatively large. So this insect repellent 'medicine' is a little more irritating."

Kristina was so cruel that she actually applied capsaicin all over her legs, and then continued walking with us, but her walking posture became very strange, which looked so funny.

After continuing to walk forward for a while, Kristina suddenly asked: "Is it my imagination or something? Why do I feel that the water level is rising?"

I looked down at the water. The water that originally only reached my thighs was now up to my belly. "It's definitely getting deeper, but it's not necessarily that the water level is rising."

"What do you mean?" Kristina didn't react.

Zhenhong said: "Because the channel is inclined, we are going deeper. Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that the water level is indeed rising."

"Anyway, you'll know when you get to the end." I took the helmet and handed it to Kristina. "Put it on first. This helmet has underwater breathing properties, so it won't be a problem even if the water fills the channel."

As soon as Kristina put on the helmet, we heard a sound behind us, and a heavy gate fell down, sealing the road we came from. Then we saw a row of finger-thick holes opening above our heads. Eyes, water poured down like a waterfall.

"It seems we are in a trap."

"Ignore it, it won't drown us anyway." Kristina said: "The worst thing is to blast out a way." The water in the channel is rising at a rapid speed. It seems that the rest of the journey will have to proceed in the water!
