Summoner, He is Never Alone

Ye Xu lost his light skills, and the more he lost it, the more wrong he felt. They really look like employees of a sewage treatment plant, and they are the kind with excellent performance.

"No, sewage plants do not purify water in this way. People use physical adsorption, precipitation and chemical reagents." Jiang Yuexuan tried her best to recall the knowledge she had learned many years ago, and said with certainty.

Divine Feather is looking down at the lake below: "Actually, this transparency can be seen directly with the naked eye, and you don't have to go into the water."

"Then you stay on the water, I want to go down and have a look."

After speaking, Sister Xuan manipulated the swamp messenger to dive into the water. The magic shield of the law system can form an air ball, so you don't have to worry about breathing in a short time. It's really not good, they can still drink some water breathing medicine.

Ye Xu and Mo Bei also followed, but Divine Feather had no choice but to go into the water together. The area to be searched is not large, that is, the darkest place in this small piece of water, and the four people work together to quickly find something wrong.

It is not an item that emits the plague of undead, but a space crack. But in addition to the space fissure, there is indeed something else on the bottom of the water, and it is a black sharp stone. Since there were never stubborn stones of this color and shape, but only rounded pebbles of brilliant color, it was certain that this thing was also a foreign object.

It's just that it didn't emit any dark energy, but contained a special energy that Ye Xu had never seen before. The system detection only said that it was a "stone containing unknown energy", and it was necessary to find a professional NPC for identification.

The appraisers in "Lingyuan" are only NPCs, and few players have learned the appraisal technique. Moreover, this appraisal is only for special and rare items. The equipment that is usually hit does not need appraisal at all, so there are not many opportunities to use appraisal techniques.

Ye Xu looked at the stone and felt that there might be a follow-up mission hidden in it, and it didn't seem to be a low-level thing. So I put it into the backpack properly, and I don't feel bad that it may be a sky-high appraisal fee.

He shared the matter with everyone about the stone, but at this moment, everyone was obviously more concerned about the space crack, and waved his hand at will to let him put it away, and we'll talk about it later. The task is important, first analyze the crack thoroughly, anyway, the stone will not run there.

The cracks are inconspicuous and can only be seen after getting closer. Inside the crack, black matter has been slowly bubbling out. Everyone suspects that it is a kind of black water full of undead plague. After flowing out of the crack, it dissolves directly into the lake water.

It's easy to prove this, just get close to the crack and wrap it in the magic shield. The Magic Shield automatically drains the surrounding lake water so that the cracks are left alone in the air inside the Magic Shield.

At this time, it is clear at a glance whether what is coming out of the crack is a pure energy element or black water with energy. Ye Xu looked at the black water seeping out from the cracks, and removed his shield in disgust. After the black water dissolved in the surrounding lake, he stayed away from here and reopened the shield to drain the lake.

"Such a small crack?" Jiang Yuexuan also came over to take a look, stretched out her hand and gestured, only the length of a slap.

The cracks are slender strips that are tightly closed, so the black water at that end can only seep in a little bit. If it is turned on, I am afraid that the water at the other end can pour in.

Divine Feather frowned: "It seems that this crack is connected to the Undead Continent, but how did the water monkey come to such a small gap?"

The water monkey is obviously not a native species in the Shining Lake, it must be an alien, and it has come through the crack. But now it is found that the cracks are not big enough, are there cracks in other places?

"Maybe when the crack was first formed, it was relatively large, giving a small group of water monkeys a chance to run in, and then it gradually became smaller and they couldn't get through." Ye Xu thought for a while, "There shouldn't be a second crack. Now, and if there is, it must be a big crack, so the lake water cannot be polluted only by this point."

Jiang Yuexuan agrees very much: "It is also possible that the crack will become larger when it is fixed to the extent that the water monkeys can come over, but I measured it, and the crack does not tend to become larger, but is becoming smaller. So it should be This is what Xiaoye guessed, the water monkey ran in with luck at the beginning."

"Since the crack will become smaller by itself, doesn't it mean that the crack will disappear after a while?" Mo Bei asked.

She nodded: "Yes, the crack appeared here at least half a month ago, and it has shrunk several times now. At this rate, the crack may disappear in a few days, and the truth will not be found when the search comes."

"If you can't find out the truth, what will be the consequences?" Ye Xu quickly thought.

In "Lingyuan", whenever it involves such a time-limited task, it is quite big. The last time I met Tiffany's quest, I had to wait until level 100 to complete it. This time, it was outdated and I couldn't find the reason at all. He always felt that there was something tricky in it.

"It's not necessarily that it can't be found at all, it's just that there is no evidence. The NPC probably knows that the Water Monkey is a creature from the Undead Land, and there have been cracks here." Jiang Yuexuan thought for a while.

Even if there is no evidence, in the absence of other more reliable guesses, a conclusion cannot be found. She felt that the existence of the space rift was just a reminder to all the city lords, and asked them to carefully search the territory for other space rifts and repair them in advance.

If there is no key evidence, at most the city owners can't determine the reason. However, those who should be searched will still be searched, but a certain amount of manpower and energy must be wasted on other possibilities, reducing the efficiency of work.

The impact is not very big, but it is more about consuming the strength of the main city from subtle points. Such a thing has to happen hundreds of times before it can have a significant impact on the main city.

"At most, because they didn't put all their energy into searching and repairing the cracks, one or two cracks were not filled in time, and they were used by the undead, and they sent a small army to harass them."

This is to add a little block to the city lord's mansion. As long as the undead come, don't secretly arrange any teleportation formations and the like, it will not have much impact. But it is better to have less than one thing, and it is always good to be able to find the cracks in advance.

Divine Feather opened the task bar to take a look at the progress: "100%! It's time to hand in the task, it seems that the water monkeys have been killed by them, just waiting for the City Lord's Mansion to send someone to repair the cracks and purify the water source."

"Then shall we go? Or stay here to help purify?" Mo Bei asked.

"You're stupid, even if you want to purify, you have to take the quest first, otherwise you won't be doing a white job?" God's Feather stabbed him, "And your holy fire will attract monsters' hatred after purification, so don't do it."

On the other hand, Divine Feather can take over the purification task and stay to help. His use of the purification technique on the mobs will not cause hatred and attacks from the mobs.

Jiang Yuexuan and Ye Xu thought about it, and both said they didn't plan to stay. The level 80 dungeon will be open soon, take advantage of this time to take a good rest, wait for the dungeon to open to open up wasteland, and then there is no time to rest.

So they said in the group, and agreed to go to the City Lord's Mansion to hand in the task, and after handing in, each did their own thing.

This quest was originally accepted in the mercenary union, and it should also be handed over to the mercenary union. But since the matter is big, if you go to the mercenary union, you will delay time. You have to wait for the union to report to the city lord's mansion. It is better to go directly to the city lord, so that you can brush the city lord's favorability by the way.

A group of ten people quickly gathered in front of the city lord's mansion. The guard saw Ye Xu and stopped blocking them, and let them in without a word.

The city owner was a little surprised to see them coming, but after scanning Jiang Yuexuan, he understood. The quest of Glitter Lake was sent by him personally. Whoever took the quest, the Mercenary Union would naturally report it to him, and when he saw people, he understood their intention.

"Is there something that needs to be dealt with immediately?" He didn't talk nonsense and went straight to the point.

Jiang Yuexuan took over the task, and she was more eloquent, so everyone looked directly at her and waited for her to report. Sister Xuan was also welcome, came out and explained the matter in a concise and comprehensive way, and put forward the aspects that needed the help of the City Lord's Mansion to solve.

"I will arrange for the holy church to purify the lake water, and by the way, I will release some purification tasks, which will definitely be solved within today. The infected creatures need the help of all adventurers to clean up. There are too many, and the army of the City Lord's Mansion is too busy. As for the space cracks, I will send a space mage to deal with it as soon as possible, and the places outside the city will also be regularly cleaned and searched, and this will not happen again in the future."

No one knows when the crack will appear. This time the crack is obviously not man-made, otherwise it is impossible for only some water monkeys to run in. The cracks formed naturally can only be made up after the fact. The world is so big, and they don't have so many people to strengthen the space barriers everywhere. After all, space mages are too rare.

Regular search is the best way. There are still a lot of troops in the main city in the wild, and they are evenly distributed everywhere. For them, the carpet search is not difficult, especially the undead plague brought by the crack is really conspicuous. It's not quite noticeable in the water, but on land, it's hard to hide.

Because the plants on the land are the most sensitive to the plague of the dead, they will be quickly infected by the plague and cause yellowing or blackening, even if there is only a small amount of plague toxin, the effect is very obvious. At a glance at this piece of grass and trees, the color is yellow and black, and the blind can see that something is wrong.

In other words, only water areas and areas without plants need to be carefully explored, and you don't need to practice carpet search in other places. As long as you walk around to see if the plants are still healthy, you can easily tell the difference, and the workload is not as large as everyone thinks.

"Let the adventurers clean up the little monsters. Those below level 80 are fine, but players above level 80 may not be able to fight." After listening to the city owner's decision, Xiao Yige said in the team chat with some hesitation.

Jiang Yuexuan reassured: "It doesn't matter, these polluted mobs are not deeply polluted and cannot infect other creatures. So after repairing the gaps and purifying the water, you don't have to rush to kill them all, you can take your time."

And when purifying the water, the priests would probably go through the whole piece of amber, and by the way, they could purify a lot of mobs, and the remaining polluted monsters were actually not that many.

But this time, even Sister Xuan didn't guess the true intention of the city owner, because she never expected that kind of magical operation. The so-called infected creatures in the city lord's mouth are not at all the aquatic monsters in the Shining Lake they thought.

God's Feather took the purification mission and set off with the priests and bosses of the Holy Church, not to mention their transportation, but also their protection. Originally, when he went to purify alone, he had to be careful not to attract monsters. As a result, the Holy Church did not pay attention to the little monsters at all. As peace-loving priests, they directly put a sleeping spell to put all the little monsters to sleep, and so on. Unhindered purification of the past.

This purification process continued until more than 10 o'clock in the evening. The system obviously planned to wait for the follow-up processing before opening the dungeon, so the level 80 version was not directly opened before that. But it was too late after 10 o'clock, and it was also inconvenient to open. In the end, I just sent a message to everyone, saying that the level 80 dungeon will be open at 9:00 tomorrow morning.

It stands to reason that this time is not enough to kill all the polluted mobs. If you really want to deal with the follow-up, it will take ten days. As a result, a wizard who accompanied him came directly to the bottom of the pot.

The team they set out this time consisted of a team of priests, a team of wizards, and a space wizard. The space wizard was here to mend the cracks, and what these wizards did, they didn't understand, and were very curious. Divine Feather originally thought that he would have to wait to know the answer, but as a result, the wizard team started to do things as soon as they arrived.

All wizards are spread out, and each is responsible for an area. The feather of God ran beside the priest and saw the operation of several wizards.

I saw that they used magic to directly extract the undead toxin from the little monster's body and put it in a special container. After the container was full, these wizards all gathered together and began to catch the piranhas and inject the poison into the piranhas.

These elite monster piranhas only refreshed for a few hours, and they were poisoned again. When all the piranhas were filled with toxins and raised to level 80, they were let go. The wizards continued to collect toxins, and after collecting the toxins, they caught the eels and poured them to level 81. After that, the flying fishes who reappeared in the waters before the elite monster refresh time were poured to level 82.

God's Feather now understands that this is to feed all the toxins of Full Glitter Lake to the three kinds of mobs, so as long as they focus on killing these three kinds of monsters and use the purification technique, it will be ok. Otherwise, if all the mobs are killed, the mobs' death toxin will be mixed into the water again, and the lake water will have to be purified again.

As for why they didn't purify the container directly after collecting the toxins, both the wizard and the priest NPC said that the concubines couldn't do it. The purification technique must be entered into the body of the creature, as the container will interfere with the casting of the purification technique.

In short, take off your pants and fart, superfluous. But there is no way, the system is set like this, if it is not set like this, the copy will not be able to open.

After gathering three waves of mobs and three bosses, the Space Mage waved his hand and divided the waters into separate secret realms, which is the origin of the level 80 secret realm. It also explained why the piranhas they started at level 75 were the mobs in the level 80 dungeon, because the dungeon was an advanced version of the blackened piranha.

The space mage isolated this water area in a single space, so that even if everyone enters the space to kill those mobs without using purification techniques, the diffused toxins will no longer pollute the flash lake, after all, they are not in the same dimension. . And after the player kills these blackened monsters and leaves the secret realm, the secret realm will be automatically "destroyed" along with toxins, which is very convenient.

Of course, this is just a plot setting on the NPC side. In fact, the dungeon can be reopened repeatedly, not a one-time item.

The batch of mobs that were forced out left the Flash Lake, but this large area of ​​water in the Flash Lake was not affected, as if the mobs that had just been refreshed were cleaned up again. When the refresh CD of the elite monsters arrives, the 75-level innocent piranhas will appear again, filling the waters.

As for the level 80 dungeon, the entrance was placed on the lakeside where Ye Xu and the others entered the lake before. Although it is located in a remote place, it is surrounded by a large open space, which is suitable for players to come and gather, and it will not be too small to squeeze so many people.

After Shen Zhiyu shared what he saw and heard with his friends, Jiang Yuexuan completely understood the meaning of the previous city lord's words: "So that's what it means to find players to solve the polluted creatures..."

"What? I didn't understand, can you explain it?" Mo Bei quickly asked.

Xiao Suguang answered his doubts for him: "The city lord's sentence to find the player to solve, in fact, is to open a dungeon for the player to brush, not to let the player go to the Flash Lake and kill all the mobs once."

The city lord's solution is really simple and rude, and he even made up a qualified excuse for the appearance of the copy, which is simply the last stubbornness of the Logic Party.

Ye Xu did not participate in their discussion. After reading the story, he went to the appraiser to firm up the stone. Others were not interested in the follow-up missions, especially Chu Jifeng, who was disgusted by the water monkey, and was resolutely unwilling to do related missions any more.

The other teammates have almost the same idea. In the end, only Sister Xuan did not reject it because she was a dark-type profession. She told Ye Xu that if she couldn't do the task alone, she would be called to join her, and if she could do it herself, she would not interfere.

After all, it was a prop that Ye Xu found by himself, so he could do it without anyone else. This should have nothing to do with the level 80 dungeon. It is an independent plot line, and there is no need to share it with others.

"I don't think the difficulty of the task is particularly high." Jiang Yuexuan analyzed, "The last part of it is the pre-dungeon task, and the pre-dungeon task has always been difficult, and it is unlikely to bring another difficult task."

Otherwise, this plot line is too valuable. The two tasks before and after are particularly rich in rewards, which is not in line with the stingy nature of game companies. She prefers that this is a personal line of tasks. If you do it alone, the rewards are okay. If you add a few more, the rewards will be less impressive because of the equal share.

Seeing that they really didn't want to get involved, Ye Xu stopped persuading them, and found an appraiser to firm up the stone. It was found that the unknown energy contained in the stone was of spatial attributes, so Ye Xu could not recognize it.

It is obviously a very rare material, but unfortunately the energy in it has been consumed by half. And this energy is more violent, full of aggressiveness, and difficult to use. If you have to say what it can be used for, it is probably the space that can be cut.

Ye Xu immediately showed it, and the space crack at the bottom of the lake was actually cut by this small stone by accident. After the cutting was successful, it and the water monkey became the first things to be brought to the other end of the space, and then they just lay quietly on the bottom of the water.

Because the lake level of Glitter Lake is calm and gentle, and there are no undercurrents on the bottom, it can lie down without moving its nest, and does not continue to cut new cracks. But it is not so peaceful in the black water on the other side of the Undead Continent. It may be that the turbulent black water on the other side has driven it to passively cut through the space, resulting in the current situation.

After the firm end, it did not bring new tasks to Ye Xu. So this stone is not actually a quest item, but a simple special item that can open the cracks in the land of the dead. If Ye Xu had any task to do on that continent, he would be of use.

However, does Ye Xu have such a task in his hands? He rummaged through his refreshing taskbar, but there was none.

The only thing that is a bit reliable is Zhen Zhen's soul collection mission. Before, he got a little soul fragment from the legion commander, but it didn't belong to Zhen Zhen, but the legion commander's own fragments, which were filled into Zhen Zhen. He has no clue where Zhen Zhen's own soul fragment is, and he is not sure that it can be found in the Undead Continent.

Therefore, it is obviously not advisable to enter the undead continent for the ethereal soul fragments. This matter can only be mentioned later, anyway, the stone will not run away in the warehouse.
