Chapter 18 The Trial Begins
Su Yuan's eyes blurred, and he was already in a tropical rainforest that stretched as far as the eye could see.
The air was humid and hot, the sun was dazzling, and the sounds of various birds, animals and insects came one after another.
"It's really hot here..."
"Yes, it's especially hot. It's only been a while, and you can see that I'm sweating all over."
Su Yuan turned his head and saw two students standing in a team not far away. Judging from the school uniforms they were wearing, they should be students from No. 11 Middle School.
For students in Guangchuan City who have lived in the plains for a long time, such an environment is indeed difficult to adapt to.
"Hey, classmate over there, are you alone?"
One of the two, a tall and thin boy, also noticed Su Yuan and greeted him.
Seeing Su Yuan alone, the tall and thin young man invited him, "It's fate that we can be together. How about forming a team? We have to spend a night here, and it's convenient to have a companion to watch the night together, don't you think?"
As soon as the tall and thin young man spoke, the green-haired companion next to him hurriedly said, "Old Wu, why are you looking for him to form a team? With the strength of the two of us at the eighth level, it should not be difficult to get the first 200 white card rewards. Why look for someone you don't know."
The tall and thin young man whispered, "Most of those who dare to act alone are masters, so it's better to have more people."
Su Yuan naturally had no intention of forming a team with others, and smiled and said, "Thank you for the invitation, but I'm used to acting alone."
As he said, Su Yuan opened the electronic map on the locator.
A lot of information was marked on the map, including the density distribution of star beasts, and the danger level of each area was indicated in four colors: green, yellow, orange, and red.
According to the prompts on the locator, green means relatively safe, and there are no star beasts above the sixth level in the area.
Yellow means there are star beasts of the seventh to eighth levels in the area.
Orange means there are star beasts of the ninth level in the area.
As for the red color, it means that there are bronze-level star beasts in the area!
Su Yuan quickly determined his position, a yellow area in the southeast corner of the entire rain forest.
"My luck is not good. It's almost half a day's journey to the nearest red area... I have to hurry up."
According to the rules, if you want to strive for the top three, you must target bronze-level star beasts.
Su Yuan estimated that special recruits like Chen Jiujun and Fang Kun should have the ability to kill bronze-level star beasts.
And among the remaining nine-level students in the twelve middle schools, there may be someone who can kill bronze-level star beasts.
So even if you kill a bronze-level star beast, you may not be able to get into the top three. If you want to get into the top three and get a green weapon card, you have to seize every opportunity to kill more star beasts.
Seeing Su Yuan looking at the map by himself, the green-haired young man snorted and said, "This guy is quite arrogant. I think his star power fluctuation is only the eighth level at most, but he still rejected us."
The tall and thin young man whispered, "Those who dare to act alone must be masters. Of course, it would be better if we can win them over."
"They are all eighth-level, how strong can they be..." Before the green-haired young man finished speaking, a breeze suddenly blew.
The two of them saw Su Yuan, who was not far away, leaving quickly like a blurry phantom, and in a blink of an eye he sank into the depths of the rain forest and completely disappeared from their sight.
"This... What a fast speed!" The green-haired young man came back to his senses, swallowed his saliva, and was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
The tall and thin young man was also very shocked. He had guessed that Su Yuan might have some strength, but he didn't expect him to be so powerful.
"This trial is really full of hidden talents. Let's hurry up and act, or we won't be able to get the white card!"
"Yes, let's go!"
...
After getting away from the two people, Su Yuan's mind moved, and the violent wind around him gradually subsided, leaving only a few wisps of breeze entwined around his legs.
It consumes a lot of energy to perform the Wind Step with all his strength. If he is just in a hurry, it is enough to exert 20% to 30% of the power, which can not only reduce consumption, but also have a good acceleration effect.
With his left hand on the long sword at his waist, Su Yuan walked forward while secretly alerting his surroundings.
Although he would not be afraid of ordinary bronze-level star beasts in a head-on battle, there are dangers everywhere in this rainforest, and the vision is blocked by dense trees. If he is attacked by a star beast, it is still easy to suffer a loss.
Injury itself is nothing, but he is afraid that the injury will reduce his efficiency in hunting star beasts.
Before he had gone far, Su Yuan noticed a dense "rustling" sound coming from the waist-high plants on both sides, as if something was approaching rapidly.
"Here it comes!"
Su Yuan looked up and saw a relatively sparsely covered open space not far ahead. He immediately jumped over, drew his long sword, and looked around vigilantly.
At this time, the "rustling" sound was getting closer and closer, and the surrounding vegetation was also overwhelmed one after another. Then three large snakes covered with yellow-brown spots poked their heads out from three different directions, opened their mouths and spit out a group of yellow-green miasma towards Su Yuan!
[Poisonous Miasma Snake]
[Quality: Ordinary]
[Type: Snake]
[Attribute: Poison]
[Talent: Increased Toxicity]
[Six Dimensions: Strength F, Agility E, Defense F, Constitution E, Spirit F, Star Power F]
[Skills: Miasma (Ordinary), Poisoned Fangs (Ordinary)]
"Three-headed, eighth-level poisonous miasma snakes, the synchronization is quite good."
Su Yuan's face was normal, and the breeze wrapped around his legs suddenly increased in strength, and the strong wind element wrapped him in it. The three groups of yellow-green miasma that attacked together were blown away before they got close.
"It's a pity that it's still a little weak."
The three-headed poisonous miasma snake saw that its miasma was blown away by the violent wind around Su Yuan, and immediately bent its body and opened its mouth to launch and attack together.
Su Yuan put his right hand on the long sword, looked at the snake in front of him, took a step forward, and his figure was like a feather moving with the wind, and rushed to the snake at a very fast speed, and drew his sword and slashed it lightly.
A cold light flashed, and the snake head flew up.
A large amount of yellow-green venom splashed out, but it was all blown away by the violent wind outside Su Yuan's body.
Su Yuan turned around, and the other two poisonous miasma snakes had already launched and jumped and flew over at a very fast speed.
But you are fast, I am faster!
Wind Step, full open!
The wind force surged, and Su Yuan's figure blurred, and he passed between the two poisonous miasma snakes.
After the two sides crossed, the two poisonous miasma snakes broke into two pieces and fell to the ground one after another, with the scattered limbs still twisting wildly.
Su Yuan raised his sword and stabbed the heads of the three poisonous miasma snakes one by one with his long sword, ending their lives completely.
Su Yuan looked at the new E-3 standard long sword he had just bought in his hand. Although it only took a moment to cut the poisonous miasma snake, a small part of the sword had been corroded and darkened at this time.
"I just bought a long sword, more than 20,000 yuan..."
Su Yuan put away the long sword with a pity, took out the multi-function locator and took a snapshot of the three poisonous miasma snakes.
One eighth-level poisonous miasma snake is 50 points, and three are 150 points.
Although not much, a mosquito is still meat no matter how small it is.
This thing recognizes it quite quickly. In half a second, the score displayed on it changed from 0 to 150.
After the recognition was completed, Su Yuan took out another small knife and skillfully cut out the star cores from the three snake corpses and put them into his backpack.
"Earning points and hunting star cores, killing two birds with one stone, so cool!" Su Yuan was in a good mood.
Although the points given by the eighth-level star beasts are limited, the white cards extracted from the star cores are real. One star core is a white card, 10 points of stardust.
The density of star beasts in this secret realm is much higher than that in the Great Savage Mountain Area. In just a short while, he encountered three eighth-level star beasts.
At this speed, even if it's only two days, he might be able to max out the Great Perfection Blue Flame Strike!
After packing up, Su Yuan didn't rest any more, and hurried to the nearest red area on the map...
