Chapter 9 9. Corrupted Forests
Under the guidance of the rebellious life, avoid the monster area and advance along the monster area toward the corrosive forest.
"Tianyu, where can I buy the map?" Mo Xuan remembered something that troubled him and asked Tianyu.
"Grocery stores. Generally, grocery stores will buy maps around the city they are located in." Tianyu glanced at Mo Xuan and said, "You can go and check out the forum, which contains a lot of game knowledge summarized by players."
Mo Xuan nodded to show that he understood.
As they moved forward, Niming and others soon saw the corroded forest.
The trees that corrode forests are different from normal forest trees. The branches and leaves of the trees are not lush, and the leaves are all yellow-brown, with a smell of drooping and aging and about to wither and die. The yellow-blooded grass on the ground and the scattered yellow-brown leaves make the whole forest feel like dusk.
"Prepare for battle." Niming held the fiery red sword that flashed with white light in his hand.
The long sword of Red Fire is 1.3 meters long, the blade of the sword is 1 meter long, and the sword is 6 cm wide. The blades on both sides are symmetrical, and the two sides of the sword are slightly concave in the middle, and there are mysterious black and red runes engraved in the groove. The sword is surrounded by flames, which looks very extraordinary. This sword is the Fire Sword, which is taken out of the storage ring by Ni Ming.
The others also took out their weapons from the storage ring. When Mo Xuan saw their movements at a loss, he remembered that there was an iron sword in his storage ring, and even took it out. Then, under the guidance of the desperation, he walked into the Corrosion Forest.
"Mo Xuan, just protect yourself. Don't fight monsters. With your current blood, you will be able to return to the city if you get rubbed by monsters." A ray of sunshine that was moving forward with a long ice blue staff was reminded.
"I understand." Mo Xuan nodded.
"Hei, do you know the death penalty in this game?" asked the green boy beside him.
"I don't know." Mo Xuan shook his head.
"I guess you don't know either. The punishment for death in "Realm" is so severe! In addition to losing one level of experience, everything else will be lost. All the equipment on your body, including the storage ring, will be dropped, and the things inside will also fall with the storage ring." The green boy thought deeply and scared Mo Xuan.
"That's it, doesn't it mean that you can't die if you play this game once?" Mo Xuan was a little surprised, but there was no reaction. Because Mo Xuan had only given two starting equipment on him, he didn't quite understand the fear of losing all the equipment. As for the surprise, most of the surprise was surprised by those who designed such an unreasonable setting, because after dying like this, all the previous efforts were gone, and there wouldn't be many people who killed and exploded equipment like this? Wouldn't this reduce the number of people playing the game?
"That's not true. You can store gold coin materials and equipment in the warehouse. Although everything you die is exposed, there are still in the warehouse. And the equipment that is dead will not disappear. As long as you hurry back to the death site, you can usually pick up the equipment." The green boy saw that Mo Xuan's reaction was more dull than he thought, and he still explained: "So if this game is dead, if the equipment can be picked up, it will only lose level one experience, nothing. If the equipment cannot be picked up, then it will be a heavy loss."
"And some special equipment will not fall even if it dies." The green boy glanced at the fire sword in Niming's hand: "For example, his sword."
"Hmm?" Mo Xuan looked over with some confusion.
"Because that sword has a characteristic: the soul contract, the object of the contract is the fate, and this soul contract is like an account binding. Even if it is bound, it will not fall off even if it dies." The green boy explained when he saw Mo Xuan's doubts.
"That sword is a fire sword! Does the soul contract have high-level equipment?" Mo Xuan asked.
"Uh~ I don't know this either." After the green boy said that, he immediately turned around and asked Ni Ming: "Boss, you said the Fire Sword last time that it would not fall because of the soul contract. What's going on with the soul contract? Do you have high-level equipment?"
"I don't know that this sword was tailored for me by my professional mentor. The attributes of the sword will increase as my level strength improves. Now the equipment attributes are similar to silver equipment. It should be considered a relatively special equipment, and I have never seen other high-level equipment, so I don't know if all high-level equipment has the characteristic of soul contract." Retaliation replied.
"Well~" Ni Ming suddenly looked at a yellow grass: "It seems that the chat has ended here, and I am ready to fight, and the monster is coming."
Niming and others were on guard when they entered the corrosive forest. Whenever there was any movement, they would instantly set up their formation. Niming was in front, the warrior was on both wings, the green boy, the assassin, stood with the mage, protecting the mage and supporting tasks. Of course, Mo Xuan was protected like the mage.
Ni Ming waved his sword and released a flaming sword energy, swept across the grass, which burned and turned into ashes in an instant, revealing the monster inside.
It is a white insect that looks fleshy and looks like a circle of white donuts. Its body is still in the soil, and the part exposed to the ground is nearly half a meter long.
"Wow! So cute!" Qian Jinjin's eyes lit up instantly.
Reverse life put a detective technique on the white worm: larvae class: whiteboard level: 17
Ni Fate determined the attributes of the monster and rushed forward and slashed the fleshy larva body with a sword.
The Fire Sword slashed into the larva's body. The attacked larva screamed, turned toward the gang, and bounced towards the gang. During the flight, the small mouth in the middle of the head opened, and the small mouth instantly opened to the size of a basketball. The sharp teeth in the cavity bounced out, biting the gang hard like a net.
Refreshing took a calm step back, avoiding the larvae's attack, and at the same time kicked the fleshy larvae, causing the larvae that was originally pounced forward to change direction and was kicked away.
When the larvae landed, it bounced up again because of its fleshy body. After kicking away the larvae, it chased in the direction where the larvae flew. When the larvae bounced up, it caught up and slashed at the larvae with one sword. When the sword fell, the larvae screamed and fell to the ground.
"The level of this monster is level 17, so it's not difficult to fight. Corrosion Forest should be the level 15-2o level training area. If you look at it like this..." Niming smiled: "The guild registration and assessment tasks should not be difficult."
"You can't take it lightly. Maybe there will be a hidden crisis, and it will be troublesome if you die. Next, let's keep this formation moving forward! This is safer." Liulise suggested.
"Yeah." Rebel responded, and everyone else agreed with this opinion. After all, the death penalty in this game is very serious. Although the things that are lost after the team dies, as long as they are not destroyed, they will definitely be picked up by their teammates. Teammates will return them after they are picked up. This is considered to be a loss of level one experience, but level one experience is also a hard work of more than half a day. No one wants to waste his efforts, so naturally no one objected.
And there is another important issue, that is, no one in the team will have resurrected skills, and they will return to the city and resurrect if they die. If they wait, they will waste time, and if they don’t wait, they will have less combat power, which makes people embarrassed! So now you must be careful to avoid death.
Maintaining the formation, Niming and others advanced deep into the forest. The larvae encountered on the road were also easily solved, and Niming and others gradually went deep into the forest to corrode.
Stepping on the yellow-brown fallen leaves, a "rustling" sound came out. The group of people in Niming had entered the Corrosion Forest for more than 20 minutes, but they saw nothing but monsters, and they could not find the mission NPC Giovani.
"Where is Giovani?" The green boy was bored: "The virtual game of "Realm" is good, but there is no prompt for the task."
"This is how you feel real." said the dazzling sword light: "And isn't there any hint that Giovani is in the corrosive forest?"
"This tip is useless!" The green boy looked at the dazzling sword light speechlessly, "The corrosive forest is so big, should I search for all the corrosive forests!?"
"This..." Chaoguang Knife touched his head: "This should be part of the assessment task, but I don't know what to do?"
This made the team a little dull.
"How to do this?" Jinghua Shuiyue looked at Niming. At this time, she didn't know what to do. After forming a team with Niming, no matter what problems she encountered, they were solved by Niming. Unconsciously, Niming's image became taller in her heart and developed a dependence, so she subconsciously asked Niming.
After asking, Jinghua Shuiyue noticed her mentality and her face turned slightly red.
"Stop walking forward, we didn't go the wrong direction." Ni Ming smiled faintly.
"Hmm?" Jinghua Shuiyue asked, "Did you show something?" The green boy and others also looked over.
"Don't you feel that the withering of the forest is getting worse and worse?" Ni Ming said: "We are here to do the task, just to solve the problem. Since the system prompts Giovani to corrode the forest, Giovani must have something to do with the withering of the forest. It is definitely right for us to move towards the center of the withering."
The green boy and others carefully observed the leaves on the trees on the surrounding ground. Indeed, the proportion of brown in the yellowish-brown leaves increased, and the feeling of withering deepened. But they didn't observe carefully just now, so they didn't see it.
"Brother Ni Ming is amazing!" Yi Zhimomo clapped and praised.
"Where..." Ni Ming smiled at Yi Zhimomo and looked at Liulise: "You have also appeared, right??"
"I, I just realized the changes in the surrounding environment, and I didn't expect that so much." Liu Lise was a little panicked. She didn't expect that she would notice the changes in the environment.
"Did you show up too? Why don't you tell us?" Jinghua Shuiyue said coquettishly at Liulise.
"That's right, that's right, why don't you tell us?" Yizhimomo echoed.
"I'm not sure if it's related to the task, so I didn't say it." After Liu Lise explained, she asked Ni Ming's question: "How do you know that I have noticed changes in the environment?"
"After you entered the corrosive forest, you carefully observed the surroundings many times, so I thought you had also appeared. I didn't expect you to guess!" said Ni Ming.
"This...so!" Liu Lise looked at what she thought of and blushed.
After Ni Ming and others determined the general direction, the progress was slightly accelerated.
As the withering of the trees became more and more serious, after walking for 20 minutes, the surrounding trees died, leaving only bare and dead trunks. Looking from a distance, you can see some dead and fragile trees breaking and falling to the ground.
After moving forward for a while, the surrounding trees or tenacious grass disappeared, and even the leaves spread on the ground were gone, revealing the black ground.
"Giovani should be there!" Niming looked at the mountain that appeared in front of him and guessed.
The mountain that appears in front of you does not cover a large area. The mountain is made of hard black soil, which looks a bit steep. The mountain is so conspicuous and looks like it is in the center of corroding forests and withering, so there are problems with it.
"Hu~" Mo Xuan secretly cried in his heart: I was so tired. I followed the team and did nothing. I walked away for more than an hour without any fatigue, and my heart was tired.
Mo Xuan complained to Tianyu beside him: "Is it so troublesome to do tasks? It's almost an hour now, and I haven't even seen the NPC for the mission."
"Okay. I did five tasks, and the simplest task took 2 or 3 hours." Tianyu smiled and said, "But it's interesting to be challenging, isn't it?"
"Yeah." Mo Xuan did not deny it, because this is indeed much more interesting than giving the task process a clearer and more real, and it is just a bit troublesome!
"When you do the task alone, it should be more interesting than now!" Mo Xuan said in his heart. Because now, you can't do anything, which makes Mo Xuan very bored.
Although I saw Shan, Niming and others, and they were fighting monsters while moving forward, because the larvae here are dense and the level is higher and stronger, it took more than ten minutes to reach the foot of the mountain.
When I arrived at the foot of the mountain, Niming and others observed the surrounding mountains and started a carpet-style search. When I got here, there was no wonder. The search was moving faster. From time to time, I would see some black rocks, some of which were half exposed on the ground, while others were exposed on the ground. Every time I saw these black rocks, Niming and others would observe carefully, because this was a little different on the black ground on the mountain.
After 10 minutes, Niming and others finally circled the mountain and searched upwards.
Time passed, Niming and others searched halfway up the mountain.
"Well! Look at the big rock." Ni Ming, who was walking in front, suddenly ran a few steps towards the top of the mountain and pointed to the top of the mountain.
"What!?"
Others also came to Niming and saw a 6-7-meter-sized rock not far away. Before, they could not see it because it was blocked by a larger hillside.
"This is too suspicious! Let's go and take a look first, maybe the npc is there, so we don't have to look for it anymore." The green boy suggested.
No one else opposed it because the stone was really suspicious. Although I could see some black rocks when I was surrounding the mountains, the largest one was less than 1 meter, let alone 6 or 7 meters.
Ni Ming and others advanced towards the black rock. It took less than a minute to walk to the black rock.
Under the large black rock in the shape of goose eggs, there is a cave with a diameter of 2 meters. The cave is deep and the fire can be seen faintly in the depths.
Ni Ming and his group gathered together in front of the cave entrance.
Although the entrance of the cave is 2 meters in diameter, it has only room for two people to walk because it is round. However, it is a bit crowded and it is not convenient to fight if you can't let go of your hands and feet, so it is better to walk alone.
"What should I do?" Liulise asked.
"Why don't you let me in and investigate, is there any danger?" said the green boy.
"No, there should be no danger here, but just in case I'll take the lead! I'm the highest blood defense. You can keep up, but don't follow too closely, leaving me with space to retreat." After saying that, Ni Ming took the lead and walked into the cave.
Liulise looked at Ni Ming's back who walked into the cave without hesitation. She felt that the back was so tall and reliable, and her spirit was slightly dazed, but it disappeared immediately. She turned to look at a ray of sunshine and said, "A ray of sunshine, we two follow Ni Ming. We can support us when we encounter danger."
"ko, let's go!" Tianyu smiled and entered the cave with Liulise, keeping a certain distance from the Nei Fate in front of him, and letting Nei Fate within the support range of the spell. The mage can just cast spells and stand, so it doesn't matter if the two of them walk together, but the blood is less and the defense is low and not suitable for the current striker.
Others also entered one after another and walked into the cave.
The cave slowly penetrated into the ground, with a small amplitude, and traces of repairs from the road were traced. Torches inserted every 2 meters on both sides illuminated the dim cave, making it easier to move in the cave.
Niming and his group walked deeper along the cave.
