Starting from Zero

Vol 22 Chapter 43: So this is not a forest?

In the end, the search results were exactly what we thought. Although we insisted on searching the rest of the house, we couldn't find Matsumoto to congratulate them. (This section was uploaded by netizens.) Apparently Matsumoto is not in this village, at least not in the house, so we are now faced with two choices.

Option one is of course to keep looking for Matsumoto to congratulate them. Although Matsumoto Masa, gold coins, and August smoked are all very viable, but in this extremely difficult task, even I ca n’t guarantee that I will be able to survive safely, so Matsumoto Masa Their current situation is actually not safe. It can only be said that their survivability is slightly stronger than that of ordinary players, but how much better they really are ... that's really not right.

If you don't go to Matsumoto to congratulate them, then we have a second option. This option is to go to the soul well first and let us temporarily open our seal. According to the female ghost, the water in the soul well and the psionic crystals we collect can temporarily open our seals. Of course, the time when the seal is opened and to what extent it is opened are not completely determined. The only thing that can be determined is that the more psionic crystals are more beneficial to us, and the other red crystal is the same thing, which can also open a part of the seal , But not in the same direction as the psionic crystal. In general, these things are useful to us, but it is not clear how much they can play.

In addition, there is another problem, that is, the soul well needs these crystals to provide energy, and then we can open our seal, but if we pass directly in this way, the crystal in our hand will be just that. Therefore, in fact, we have a third option, which is to go to other villages to actively seek out those ghosts to hunt, and then we can hoard crystals in large quantities.

All three options have their own benefits. First find Masamoto Matsumoto. They mean a relatively safe and conservative strategy, but the shortcomings are obvious. This solution will undoubtedly lengthen the entire task time, and in the search process, we cannot guarantee that we will not encounter any danger.

The second plan looks the most secure, but it is actually a modest solution. The advantages are obvious and the disadvantages are obvious. However, in general, this solution is actually the most reasonable.

The third plan can actually be crossed with the first one. During the hunting process, you can search for Matsumoto's tracks, but there is a major problem. If you hit the search for Matsumoto Masako, we don't need to clean up monsters from house to house, otherwise we need to clean up room by room, so the two seem to do the same thing, but the content is not the same.

After these three proposals were put forward, we also had some disputes here.

True Red and Blazing Dragon Ji are more inclined to go to the third plan, which is to clear up some monsters with more crystals. Sakura Yumi hopes to go to Matsumoto to congratulate them and wait for everyone to come together before taking the next step. Christina and I are more inclined to the second plan, because this plan does not seem to stand out, but it has the highest balanced surname. After all, we already have hundreds of crystals in our hands. If we take the soul well, at least we should be able to concentrate on unlocking some of the abilities of a person first, so that the survival rate in our future battles will be much higher, no matter what we do Everything will be full of confidence.

Because the only one who supported the first plan was Sakura Yushin, the first plan was directly passed, and the remaining options were to either sweep away or go directly to the soul well. These two choices are two-for-two, but because I am the president, in the end Real Red and Blazing Dragon Ji did not insist on their opinions, and they chose to listen to me directly after everyone expressed their opinions.

I was originally more inclined to the second option. Now that neither True Red nor Blazing Dragon Ji is forced to do anything, I will naturally be rude and directly decide that everyone will go to the soul well together.

"Ok, that's it. Hey, who ... by the way, I haven't asked your name yet?" Until then I didn't remember asking the name of the female ghost. (.)

After the other person was asked by me, I also stumbled, and then thought with my head down there for a long time before looking at me and saying, "What do you think my name is right?"

"Ah? What are you talking about? What makes me look good by your name? Don't you have a name for yourself?"

"It's been too long to remember being a ghost!"

"I'm dizzy!" Looking at this female ghost, I thought for a moment and then simply said, "Since you don't remember what your name is, then we'll just give you a memorable one, right?"

Obviously the other party has no special requirements for this, nodded directly and let us name it casually. I discussed with Christina a little bit and decided to name the female ghost "Lilyko". There is no special meaning to the name, just because it is convenient to call, and the clothes of the female ghost have changed from red to white after being persuaded by me, so this lily is very suitable for her appearance. The extra sub-word was added in consideration of the naming convention of the person.

"So what, Yuriko. Now we have decided to go to the soul well first, you can lead the way. But this place is too dangerous, and if you walk outside if something gets killed, then we will be in trouble. So you It ’s better to walk in the middle of the line and tell us how to get there without having to stay in front. ”

"OK." Yuriko nodded and agreed with me. This female ghost became abnormally obedient after I used it to connect with the soul space. I felt a sense of obedience, presumably because the soul space had removed her bad breath as a ghost, so that she returned to her surname. The state of life, but the ancient women were respected by men, which is stricter than China, so the other party's special obedience is almost what she wants to do without any hesitation . Of course, we don't have too much demand.

With Yuriko's guidance, our progress has become much simpler. Because we don't have to worry about going the wrong way, we don't have to pay attention to the terrain or anything else, and follow the line pointed out by Yuriko directly towards the mountain.

That so-called soul well is said to be in the woods on the mountain, and it's not far from us. In addition, this map does not seem to be very large. It is said that a circle of villages surrounds a mountain, and the mountain in front of it is actually not very high. The drop from the top to the foot of the mountain is 200 meters, but this mountain is because of the **** It's relatively slow, so the area is large.

After we entered the woodland on the mountain, we started to feel grateful for bringing a guide. This place is exactly the best in [*] array, because it is a dynamic maze.

The most annoying of all maze type maps is this kind of dynamic maze, because its route is not fixed, it can be said that it changes from moment to moment. Originally, you walked to the place where the dead end was, maybe you just became the right passage as soon as you left, and when you went to the correct passage before, it was blocked again. Therefore, if this maze has a certain intelligence of existence control, then you should not expect to go past, because no matter how you go, the other party has a way to block you back. Of course, if you have the ability to completely meet the wall and the door and hit the door, no matter what the walls are, then of course it is another matter.

The woodland where we are now is such a place. It is not that there are many monsters in the forest here. Of course, it can be said that there are many monsters, but it is not the kind of monster everyone thinks.

When we first entered the forest, we didn't realize it. It was only when Lilyko walked to a place that I suddenly stabbed one of the trees and we realized that there was no tree in the forest. .

Yes, you read that right. There is no tree at all on this mountain. The entire forest is made up of a kind of monster called wood spirit. When this thing is not moving, it is exactly the same as the big tree. There is no detection spell that can make them the real big tree differentiate. However, no matter how good the camouflage ability is, these guys are not trees, after all, as the indigenous people here, Lilyko knows this of course. Therefore, of course, if you know that these are not big trees, you will not be confused.

Although these tree spirits look no different from the big trees when they are not moving, and their shapes are also messy, some like maple trees, some like cherry trees, and other various tree species, they look like shapes They are different, but they are all tree spirits.

Speaking of which we have a lot of guilds themselves, basically all planted around the guild's city as a hidden whistle. These tree spirits are in no way different from the big trees, and unless they are in danger or the environment is not suitable for survival, the tree essences are in fact no different from ordinary big trees. They are not running around at all. Yuwang, as long as they are rooted somewhere, there is nothing that threatens their survival and they will not move anymore.

This special surname determines that these tree spirits can stay in one place for a long time once they take root, and because of their own special surnames, they can be completely integrated with the surrounding forests. To find a tree spirit from a forest, it is basically similar to finding a needle in a haystack, because there is no magic to detect it, you can only use physical methods to experiment one by one.

Because of these guys ’super ability to camouflage, after being equipped with communication crystals, these guys can completely become one fixed sentry post. When the enemy thinks that they are quietly lurking outside the city, they will not know that they are hiding. The big tree is probably one of our sentries. This ability is absolutely against the sky. Of course, due to the limitation of the system, any existence of some anti-sky ability must have anti-sky defects, and the tree-going anti-sky defects are that they have almost no consciousness of fighting.

Although the roots of these guys can be pulled out of the ground to make them move around like an octopus, and the movement speed is very fast, these guys are simply too lazy to move unless they are life-threatening or have high plant affinity to communicate with them , And then reach an agreement, just like the guild and the sentry agreement they signed. Without these external influences, the tree spirits may not be able to move autonomously for a lifetime. Moreover, their branches can be wielded at will, and even a thousand-level player can't break free in a short time when twitching or entanglement with the enemy, even advanced players like me with more than two thousand levels, once they do not need eternity, once Being entangled, you can't get out without three or five seconds. It can be seen that the attack and restraint capabilities of these things are actually very strong.

In addition, these guys' defenses are also quite good. Although they look very much like ordinary trees, their bodies are actually stiff. Except that the outer layer of bark has the basic hardness of wood like a real tree, the trunk inside It is almost the same as a solid iron block, and a general weapon can cut at most with only one shallow mark. As for magic attacks ... don't even think about that. If they can fight, these guys are simply mage killers, because they have a super rogue ability-spell devour. To put it simply, as long as there is magic in a certain range around them, they can be absorbed. Except for strategic magic, they will be killed if they do n’t have time to absorb it, and ordinary magic will not hurt them at all, but will These guys absorb a lot of energy and grow stronger.

However, although the above data looks like tree spirits are like invincible creatures, in fact these things are really useless except as sentry posts. It's not because they can't fight, or because they have low viability, but because ... they're too lazy to move.

Yes, these guys are really too lazy to make you understand. Not only do they not move without external stimuli, even if they are attacked, their first response is determined based on the damage. If the damage is slight enough to be negligible, they will stay still and continue to install the tree with you. However, if the damage is slightly more obvious but far from fatal, then they will pull their roots from the ground and move a distance in the opposite direction of the attack. In other words, even if they are hurt, they will never fight back, but just avoid you a little distance.

Of course, if you continue to increase the degree of damage and directly make attacks that can endanger their lives, these guys will start to fight back, but their counterattack purpose is to escape better, and will not really kill you, At best, it is to give you some lessons to let you know that they are not easy to mess with, and then turn around and run. Of course, this time you will run far and far, and you will not take root until you can find them.

What can you say about such a wonderful thing even if it has the ability to destroy the world? Even though rabbits have fangs and sharp teeth, they are still rabbits. They cannot become tigers. The tree spirits are naturally lazy and do not love to move at all. Moreover, they mainly rely on photosynthesis and absorb free magic energy to survive. No yuwang. Such existence, even if it is a surname, is just that.

However, we have now found an amazing result, that is, this mountain is actually full of tree spirits, and these tree spirits are slightly different from the general area tree spirits. The tree spirits here are not as lazy as their relatives outside. Of course, this is also relative to the outside tree spirits. They are actually very lazy.

However, according to Yuriko, the tree spirits here are usually lazy, but I do n’t know why, they seem to change places by themselves after a certain period of time, just like turning over while sleeping, the frequency is not too high, But because the entire forest is constantly moving like this, there is no way to talk about "roads". Not to mention that there are no animals in this place, even if there are a large number of people and animals coming and going through a road, when one of the tree spirits comes to a stop on the road, the road will be cut off directly. People will bypass this tree if they want to go, that is, bypassing the place where the road was originally. In this way, a new road will be stepped on, and the original road will be slowly covered by vegetation again, and the route will change. Already.

Based on this situation, there is actually no road in the mountain, and the entire mountain is a huge deformed maze, which is constantly fine-tuning. Although this adjustment is random, it does not target surnames. But if you don't know the situation, going out is not easy. Thanks to this forest is not particularly large, otherwise this place is definitely a labyrinth of natural quality.

Yuriko knows that the big trees here are all tree spirits, so she does n’t walk around at all, because she does n’t know where she will go around. After she found that the previous route was blocked, she directly asked me to pierce that tree spirit with a sword ~ ​​www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Then the other party felt pain, but there was no fatal threat. Yushu followed the basic habits of the tree spirit. Get up and change positions. So our way out.

Looking at the big tree in front of me, I have taken a place by ourselves, and we are all stunned, thinking that thanks to a guide, or waiting for a day in the woods!

Rushing away the tree spirits in front of us, we continue to move forward, the same way afterwards. Along the way, we went straight ahead without any detours. Whenever we saw the tree spirits blocking the road, we went up and pierced. Anyway, when they felt pain, they would make way.

It moves very fast in this way, because there is no need to detour, and the natural path in the past is much shorter. However, this is only the initial part, and this situation starts to change as we get closer to that soul well. Not that the tree spirits here are giving way. On the contrary, there is almost no tree spirit in this place. There is a large vacant lot in front. The tree spirit is very scarce. However, here you can see a lot of monsters and ghosts gather together and move unconsciously, and they will erupt from time to time There are battles, and the result of a battle is often that one monster devours the other.

"I rely on, how is this going to pass?" Seeing the situation in front could not help but asked, and in fact this is what we want to ask. (To be continued.)
