Tokyo underground city

Chapter 144 Light-taking Fairy

Lin Huai'en doesn't know whether there is such a thing as hatred of like in this world.

But he did feel a certain similarity with himself from the young man in white.

For example, your taste in clothing, your choice of weapons, your external persona, and even the way you interact with other people——

It all made Lin Huaien feel an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

"If I agree to Senyan and join Millionaire Holdings...that's how it will feel..."

Lin Huai'en didn't know if the other party had similar feelings.

However, neither Yuan Ximu nor the rest of the crew noticed the look between him and Mu En.

Even from their perspective, Lin Huaien and Mu En should be two completely unrelated people.

Mu En is the male lead of the entire crew and the ace of "Windrunner". He is the core of the team second only to the "Big Three" (chief director Shen Wanshan, producer and chief conductor Katarina).

And who is Lin Huai'en?

Just a personal bodyguard hired by a has-been female supporting actor.

.

However, no matter what Lin Huai'en was thinking, the crew was still on the road.

The large team of nearly two hundred people was divided into ten teams and entered the sixth floor in batches.

After entering the sixth level, the explorer left the infant-like extremely shallow level and reached the more dangerous shallow dungeon.

While the upper limit of attribute values ​​has been increased, the upper limit of the team's load has also been greatly increased. Many of the crew props that look very heavy can be transported away with a small trailer.

In order to shoot movies in the underground city, Ark Holdings even prepared large trailers and beasts of burden.

It looks like a fully enclosed spherical structure. In addition to filling the lower level with props, it can also allow crew members whose explorer level is not high enough to rest on the upper level.

However, Yuan Ximu escaped after sitting inside for a while.

"It's too bumpy." The girl complained to Lin Huaien in a low voice, "I don't know why they prepared this kind of transport - it would be nice to prepare an extra one specifically for people."

"Probably because of the need to reduce the budget." Lin Huai'en smiled and glanced at the beast of burden in front of the trailer.

【Casbiermon】

[Description: An omnivorous creature that looks like a bear, has a docile personality, is easily angered, and can be tamed by low-level explorers. 】

[Habits: Can only move in areas with a magic concentration of 5.0 or above. 】

[Main production areas: Florence 15th floor, Maputo 11th floor. 】

"Is it an area with a magic power concentration above 5.0..." Lin Huaien looked at Casbiermon's description and looked out of the tree and vine corridor.

He has always felt that the underground city should be a stuffy and extremely depressing place.

Even the underground tree cave on the fifth floor of Changying or the salt and crossroads of Yan 10 Shelter still feel like a closed space like a high-speed rail station.

However, the sixth floor of Changying overturned his impression.

Looking out through the hole in the tree cave tunnel, more than a dozen huge vines like cloud pillars reach into the sky.

A giant moth cicada slammed into the wall outside the tree cave, causing the entire tree cave tunnel to shake twice and causing a burst of exclamations. But before it could fly away, a mantis-like predator had already pounced on it. He came over, slashed the beautiful creature covered in white wax threads with a knife, and dragged it into the air.

In Lin Huai'en's sight, there were two or three other predatory scenes like this.

Each giant tree is more than several kilometers apart, and in this vast white space, apart from the clouds, giant trees and white light, Lin Huai'en can't even see where the edge and end of the dungeon are.

Lin Huai'en wasn't even sure whether he was underground or back on the ground, standing on the top of the Oriental Pearl Tower or the Eiffel Tower.

"It's just like the World Tree...isn't it?"

Yuan Ximu walked beside Lin Huai'en and saw that his eyes were looking through the gap in the tree hole, and couldn't help but say.

"maybe……"

Lin Huaien shook his head and did not intend to call it the World Tree in Nordic legend.

After all, there are not dozens of World Trees in Nordic mythology.

A dungeon is an dungeon, an existence beyond all legends and common sense.

There will be no human explorers traveling through it.

You can't even use the logic of another world to understand the structure of the dungeon.

.

Starting from the sixth level, the monsters Lin Huaien and the others encountered changed from giant cicada monkeys and vengeful red cicadas to various arboreal predators such as aphids.

Most of them are the larvae of giant insects outside the tree cave, and there are also some beings similar to legendary fairies, but Lin Huai'en has not seen them yet.

【Berry Tree Demon】

[Description: A plant-type dungeon monster that grows from the fruits of the "giant tree". It is similar in shape to humans and can move freely within the giant tree. "Raspberries" grow on the ends of its two hands. The "raspberries" are edible and can It can replenish magic power and can also be used as a raw material for magic potion. It has certain edible value, but it is difficult to preserve. 】

[Habits: Be friendly to people, provided you don’t covet the raspberries in their hands. They have the power to see through people’s hearts. Once they see through their greed, they will immediately attack the explorers or run away. 】

[The main attack methods are strangulation and poison spraying. 】

[Main origin: inside any giant tree. 】

Lin Huai'en watched him search for [Giant Tree], and also found [Berry Tree Demon], and nodded with some satisfaction.

The search method of natural history is a bit like pulling out the radish and bringing out the mud. In theory, you can continue to search along the unfamiliar words that appear in each entry.

However, the content of each entry is very general, and it does not list every weakness of the monster like the [Appraisal] skill.

But it is enough to avoid accidental rollover.

For example, Windrunner and the others encountered a stink-like monster. He immediately learned from natural history tips that this monster would emit a large amount of irritating poisonous mist from its abdomen, and pulled Yuan Ximu to hide. opened.

Almost ten seconds later, the monster, which was severely injured by the Windrunners, used its trump card, turning the entire tunnel into a vast yellow miasma area.

Yuan Ximu, who was pulled away by Lin Huai'en, looked at the staff member who was sprayed by the poisonous mist about ten meters away, and couldn't help but whisper: "Wow...it's so miserable."

The first time they were touched by the poisonous mist, the victims covered their faces and screamed. Their exposed skin was red and their eyes were so swollen that they could not even open them.

This accident also alarmed Catalina, who was in the front team. After she arrived with a large number of doctors, she first angrily scolded the leader of the team, then checked the injuries of the staff and arranged for those with low visceral tolerance. People, enter the trailer to rest.

At the same time, the protection of the protagonists has been increased.

After dealing with the wounded, Catalina came over specifically to ask about Yuan Ximu's situation.

"Miss Xiyang Xixue." She strode towards Lin Huai'en and the two people who were on the edge of the team. Before they reached them, her voice came: "You have also seen what happened just now. As the leader of the Windrunners, I suggest you go back. Get to the trailer, security is more robust there.”

However, her proposal was rejected by Yuan Ximu.

"I think Mr. Lin can protect me with his ability."

She shook her head.

Yuan Ximu played with the miniature camera in her hand and said calmly: "And I am also a level 16 red card explorer. Even if I am sprayed by poisonous mist, I have enough internal organs to endure to detoxify quickly, and I can return to normal in about one night, so You don’t have to worry too much about me.”

"A level 16 planeswalker..."

Hearing what Yuan Ximu said, Catalina frowned slightly, but did not say anything to dissuade her:

"I just want to remind you that according to the contract, the only thing we have to protect is the safety of the entire crew. In theory, only Mr. Lin Huai'en can be responsible for your safety."

Lin Huaien couldn't tell whether Catalina was a reminder or a threat, but in short, after saying this, she looked at Lin Huaien and nodded, then turned and left.

"Am I the only one who can be responsible for your safety..." Looking at her back, Lin Huai'en couldn't help but rub his forehead: "I feel a little stressed..."

However, Yuan Ximu didn't care. She fiddled with the camera in her hand, lowered her head and said:

"The original plan was for just the two of us, so you don't have to pay too much attention to what she said -"

"Although Katarina speaks forcefully, the contract she signed with the crew is to ensure that the entire crew can film. If I die or am seriously injured due to an accident, they will still have to send me back to the ground to be resurrected, and then rush me back to the filming At the scene - she said this just to avoid liability."

Having said this, Yuan Ximu raised the camera in front of her eyes and pointed it at Lin Huai'en.

"What's more, wasn't it a good thing what you just did? You avoided danger in advance, which shows that Sister Senyan did not misjudge the person."

Lin Huai'en looked helpless at Yuan Ximu's indifferent expression.

But at the same time, he also realized that others might really be there to make movies.

But Yuan Ximu just followed her previous plan to explore the golden flower field on the tenth floor of Changying, and "incidentally" completed the filming of the crew.

In other words, she is always making herself more like a "dungeon explorer" rather than a "Sunset Xixue".

Just when Lin Huai'en had gradually figured out what the girl in front of him was thinking, Yuan Ximu suddenly looked to both sides.

The team they are currently in is in chaos. The explorers are dealing with the wounded and packing up the props messed up by the giant stink bug.

When Yuan Ximu saw that no one was paying attention to her, she suddenly put the handheld camera into her backpack, and then took out a glass cage covered with a black curtain.

"By the way, I told you before, I want to show you the good things——"

She approached Lin Huaien mysteriously.

"Qiang Qiang Qiang Qiang——"

He pulled off the black curtain on the glass cage: "Light-taking fairy!"

Lin Huai'en was stunned for a moment.

The natural history skill started automatically, but only a series of question marks were displayed.

【Light-taking Fairy】

【describe:? ? ? 】

[Habits:? ? ? 】

【origin:? ? ? 】

"What is this?" Lin Huai'en poked the glass cover in front of him curiously.

"Light-taking fairy!" Yuan Ximu looked at Lin Huai'en with an incredible expression, as if she didn't know why he was so calm.

"No, I already know the name, but what's the use of it?"

As Lin Huai'en spoke, he squatted down and took a closer look at the glass cage. There was a small creature about twenty centimeters tall inside.

It looks a bit like a naked little girl with four pairs of thin wings, like a legendary "goblin". But compared with the "goblins" in fantasy stories, this "photographic goblin" wrapped in white shimmer looks very dull.

Its blue eyes are empty, and even if it is locked in a glass cage, it will not struggle. Instead, it will maintain its balance and distance from the glass cage as the glass cage shakes.

Besides that, the most obvious feature of this "light-catching fairy" is the white crystal held in its arms.

It can be seen that more than half of this white crystal has turned into light blue.

And when Yuan Ximu saw Lin Huai'en observing the light-taking fairy so carefully and still showing no reaction, she finally realized that Lin Huai'en was not deliberately "pretending not to know", but really didn't know what it was——

She sighed heavily: "Even the top foreign dungeon photographers dream of the 'light-taking fairy', but you don't know what it is? If I had known, I wouldn't have shown it to you!"

"So what's the use of it? Since it's a dungeon photographer's dream...to make movies?"

Lin Huai'en guessed somewhat vaguely.

Yuan Ximu did not explain, but took out a fist-sized soft cloth bag from her arms.

After opening it, Lin Huai'en saw that there were ten silver rings with gold trim inside.

She put all ten rings on her hand, showed them to Lin Huaien, and then opened the glass cage.

She slightly curled her fingers, and the dull-looking light-catching fairy suddenly became active.

It shook its wings, flew up crookedly, and pointed the luminous crystal in its arms at Lin Huai'en.

Then, the white light on his body flashed and disappeared.

Lin Huai'en was slightly surprised, but he could feel the sound of the fairy's wings flapping.

He subconsciously stretched out his hand, but Yuan Ximu just hooked his fingers, and the goblin disappeared beyond his perception.

"How's it going?" Yuan Ximu showed off to Lin Huai'en with some pride: "Ten-axis transformation, ultra-low magic power consumption, built-in shake stabilization, 18k optical photography."

"The flight speed is 367 kilometers per hour, and it comes with gold-level skills [Optical Stealth] and [Sun Ray]. You can chase the high-speed train and shoot the entire airspace map!"

"Guess how much it cost me to buy it!"

There are many things to do during the Spring Festival, happy New Year!
