Chapter 59 The Path of Our Fathers

"stop!"

On a suspension bridge, Little Bob suddenly stopped and looked sharply at the end of the suspension bridge that was covered by the dark curtain. Then he and Ember slowly returned to the floating island they had just passed.

The embers and the glass of wine, whose perception levels were both low, were getting thicker, and they were unable to see what was abnormal in front of them. After Little Bob's explanation, they learned that there was a group of dozens of wasteland explorers who were actually hiding. The floating island of the notebook serves as a stronghold, constantly "fishing" the blood vine from the abyss to obtain the core of the blood vine.

This news made the two Embers immediately realize that the first level of the hidden mission had appeared. However, when Little Bob used his exploratory ability to deeply stimulate his eye nerves and look far into the distance, he told them in a disdainful tone not to worry.

"They're just a bunch of self-righteous idiots. Don't pay attention. Let's go around the floating island and find the third note."

The suspension bridges extending in all directions gave the three of them extremely free circuitous routes. As expected, it didn't take long before they found the general direction of the third note. On the way, Little Bob revealed some secrets of the Sea of ​​Blood Vine to Ember and the growing glass of wine, which also made the two understand why the other party called those wasteland explorers a bunch of idiots.

Those people think that with the blood vine products to protect themselves, they can be unscrupulous, but they don't know that the act of "fishing" will offend the blood vine, let alone large-scale "fishing". Little Bob used his detection ability just now to observe the changes in the sea surface, and as expected, he saw the angry blood vine that was ready to attack. According to Little Bob's estimation, when they find the third written record, this group of people will be wiped out.

Not long after, everyone successfully arrived at the floating island where the third note was hidden. On the back of a stone pillar, little Bob found his father's message.

…

After persistent searching, I finally got a clue.

Why can’t I see any living fairy tale characters here?

That's because they are all gone!

As for where I went, when I left, and why I left, I don’t know, and I don’t have time to know. The gardener is about to take us into the inner ring, because the Giant Tree Research Institute really can't help but attack us. Is it afraid that we will be the first to find the secret of the Stairway to the Sun?

Haha, little Bob, I really hope you can see how angry they are!

I didn’t expect that little people like us could be so feared by those high-ranking tycoons!

…

The information revealed by this message was undoubtedly exciting, but Little Bob's expression was even gloomier than before. He scratched his red hair that was like flames, gritted his teeth and said: "Giant Tree Research Institute, another giant tree." Shu Research Institute, do these chaebols have to put all their resources into their pockets before they are willing to stop?"

"Can you introduce us to the Giant Tree Research Institute?" Yi Jin pointed to his blood vine bracelet, "The institution that studies blood vine cultivation methods seems to be very capable, right?"

"Big, of course it's big, not just ordinary. The Wasteland Group is a collection of the major chaebols in the wasteland world. It represents the strongest force in the wasteland world. The Giant Tree Research Institute is one of the cores of this force. They can mobilize massive resources at will and block even life-limited areas at will. My father must have discovered something incredible to let those jackals show their claws!" Little Bob made a somewhat excited judgment, "We can't It’s a waste of time, the Giant Tree Research Institute is preparing to launch a general attack on the core area, I will definitely make them pay the price!”

Looking at Little Bob who was losing his mind, the embers and the glasses of wine were getting thicker and they looked at each other in confusion. The continuous appearance of the "Giant Tree Research Institute" made the two of them realize that sooner or later they would have to face this wasteland giant.

"It is indeed a game with a difficulty close to that of a nightmare. The members of the Giant Tree Research Institute are at least at the elite level. If our combat power had not been greatly improved, we would not be able to withstand such frequent encounters with elites." The glass of wine gradually became thicker and washed away the embers. Whispered.

"When soldiers come, they will be blocked by water and covered by earth. As long as you deal with them carefully, you can always break out a bloody path."

Ember was very certain about this. Even though he could guess how serious the surrounding situation was, he still firmly believed that there must be one or more hidden roads leading to the right direction.

Later, Little Bob activated his exploration skills again and saw the scene of the "monstrous waves" receding. He was a little worried that the notes would be destroyed, so he immediately led the two of them across the suspension bridges and broke into the second floating island where the text was recorded. .

The scene on the floating island was actually not as bloody as expected, because after the big wave of blood vines hit, most of the wasteland explorers were directly swept into the abyss. The remaining few people escaped from the wave because they hid in stone houses. , but was still overwhelmed by the surging blood vines, and in the end not even the bones were left.

Therefore, there is not even blood to be seen on this floating island. If it weren’t for some blood vine products, food and medicine, and a box of blood vine cores scattered in the stone house, plus a few blood vines stuck in the stone house and unable to return to the sea, Yi Yan really couldn't believe that there were dozens of people stationed here just now, and this allowed him to drink more and more wine. After cleaning up the blood vines that had almost no resistance, he picked up the loot without any psychological burden.

…

The Blood Vine Bracelet during the growth stage added 50 points of health and 25 points of sanity to Ember. Unexpectedly, no battle broke out after that, and he could achieve the transformation conditions again without losing any blood. Such an unexpected surprise has a tendency to turn Ember into a Blood Bull Warrior, while on the other hand, as the wine gets thicker, he will go further and further towards the limit of output.

"Two hundred percent damage increase... Two hundred percent damage increase..."

Little stars appeared in her eyes as her glass of wine grew thicker. She couldn't help but show off to the embers: "My basic attack damage has reached twenty-seven points, and my critical arrow damage has reached fifty-four points. If there are two more, Wasteland warriors, I'm even sure of one vs. two. Unfortunately, the blood vine has been upgraded two levels in a row, but the life defense has not increased. How great would it be if these people's blood vine jewelry can also be used by us? Information binding Not to mention, even the conditions for use are so harsh, three points of perception, my God, fortunately we don’t have to go to such trouble, even if I just upgraded, I’m still a little short of points!”

Seeing her sigh, Yi Yan teased angrily: "Think of good things! How can I let you take advantage of everything? I forgot who told me to go all the way to the dark side, why do I regret it now? Already?"

"Ah! Aren't I worried that my body is too fragile and I can be easily killed? If I really encounter danger, you have to protect me!"

Although he said that, there was no sign of worry in his eagerness to try as the glass of wine got thicker. Yi Yan smiled and nodded in agreement, and then saw little Bob finally finding the last paragraph in the collapsed stone house. Engraving notes.

…

Little Bob, my son, you won’t believe what we went through…

Before we broke through, the Giant Tree Research Institute happened to launch an siege. It was only then that I realized that there was a traitor in the team, and I also realized that the target of the Giant Tree Research Institute was not at all my research findings.

However, these are not important. What is important is that we survived.

When I was cornered, I activated the nightmare invitation, and then, we won, and the people at the Giant Tree Research Institute were destroyed in the nightmare.

Compared with that one, this nightmare is simply a fairy tale, and what’s even more wonderful is that we actually used a piece of the witch’s remnant soul to gain a direct access to the inner ring. Haha, the scumbags at the Giant Tree Research Institute couldn’t have imagined that, even if they Even if they set up a dragnet, they can't stop me at all!

Moreover, this wonderful experience also made me understand a problem.

Those disappeared fairy tale characters all rushed to the inner ring area on the same day, and I will also embark on the same road, Stairway to the Sun, here I come!

…

"Nightmare Invitation..."

Little Bob, who was in a daze, never expected that his father would actually use it to turn defeat into victory. This reminded Ember and the glass of wine to get thicker. If he wanted to break through the obstruction of the Giant Tree Research Institute, it might be easiest to use the nightmare invitation. method.

After knowing the status of the Giant Tree Research Institute, Ember did not expect that the road to the inner ring would be smooth sailing.

The only problem now is how to convince little Bob to face the nightmare again?

There was no need for Ember to think about the answer, because a group of members of the Giant Tree Research Institute appeared from behind and directly deleted the wrong answer.

"Come on, hurry up! Take those idiots' blood vine products and quickly enter the inner ring ruins. As for their guys, they are just scrap metal. There is no need to recycle them. How can they be compared with our giant tree research?" The institute’s precision research equipment?”

"These idiots are really easy to deceive. We can wait for the blood vine products in the growing stage to be delivered to our door without us having to do anything. Haha, who came up with such a clever idea?"

"Who else could it be? Of course...be careful, there seems to be someone alive!"

The sudden and cold warning instantly made the situation explosive.

Little Bob, who was in a trance and failed to notice the approaching danger in time, suddenly saw the nightmare invitation in Ember's hand. He moved his lips and wanted to stop it, but the chaos in his mind made it difficult for him to speak.

"Who opened the first invitation?"

"gardener."

"How are your important attributes strengthened?"

"...Perception six, strength three, and agility one."

"How strong is your father?"

"Absolutely the same as me."

"Sure enough, that's true!"

Ember got the answer he wanted, and then in such a severe situation, he asked little Bob with a smile: "Do you want to sink into a nightmare for the rest of your life, or bravely walk the path of your fathers?"
