Chapter 1344 Daojinshu
From morning to afternoon, there was no place to rest and eat, so everyone had to eat dried meat while walking. Soon in the evening, everyone was already walking with heavy backpacks on their backs. Got too exhausted to go any further. Ba Naogan had no choice but to ask everyone to find an open space at the foot of the mountain to camp, and use all the lime powder and mustard grass.
Nothing happened all night, and the team marching early the next morning continued on their way. They encountered some third- and fourth-level monsters on the way, but it was nothing serious. Until this afternoon, everyone finally arrived at Oak Ridge.
Oak Ridge is a ridge but not a mountain. Most of the trees growing on the dozens of nearby mountains are oak trees, and there is only one type. In addition to the common swamp oaks and temperate rubber trees, The rarer black-heart oak tree also grows here.
And these oak trees have deep roots, large branches, and luxuriant leaves. They grow together, trees leaning against trees, and trees pressing against trees. Looking at the dark forest, nothing can be seen. Not to mention losing sight, it was difficult for anyone to squeeze into this dark oak forest. However, there are still some open spaces around the oak forest, and you can even see traces of someone else's stay a few years ago.
After setting up the camp, Asi said: "I won't follow you after we get here. I will return to the town tomorrow after tonight. You should take care of yourself."
"Thank you very much." Ba Naoqian gave him another sum of money to thank him, and it was also because of his help that they were able to get here smoothly: "You can go back by yourself."
Assi Pupu He smiled and said: "Don't worry about me, I am a part of this forest and have my own survival skills."
"Yes." Ba Naogan nodded, and he was very impressed with Asi's skills along the way. With his abilities visible, Asi knew clearly where there would be dangers in the forest and how to avoid them, so Ba Naogan was not worried about his ability to go back confidently.
Because it was still early, everyone decided to check whether the surrounding situation was safe after taking a short rest. Ba Naogan called a few key members to discuss their mission plan.
The map was opened. Ba Naogan pointed at the map and said: "Now that we are here, walking west and south from Oak Ridge, there are two places surrounded by our mission. I decided to go south first and take Luzwei Archon Ersh entrusts us with This matter is relatively simple and easy to handle. Once it is completed, we will turn back and head west to continue our journey and complete our first task.”
Emmason picked the bridge of his nose. , said: "You mean I How many days should we stay here with Oak Ridge as the center? "
Ba Naogan said: "I think this place is safer, so don't change these two simple tasks every day. Done, let’s go to Qingbai again Go to Po and Shiling Mountains.”
“To go to Qingbaipo and Shiling Mountains, shouldn’t we go to Shengxiang Mountain first? This way the journey will be longer, which is somewhat different from our original route. It's different." The illusionist said.
Ba Naogan said: "I have thought about it. The task list said that we should search for the Nightmare Unicorn, and it also specified that it had been seen in the area of the Holy Elephant Mountain. But the area covered by the Holy Elephant Mountain The range is large, and the nightmare unicorn is a living monster, so Since it can walk around, we can only try our luck to find it. At this time, the weather is just showing signs of warming up, and the monsters in the forest should not be very active yet. Maybe it will be easier for us to look for the nightmare unicorn further back. Found.”
The illusionist nodded: "What you said makes sense, so let's do what you said. Just try to gain time, end these tasks as soon as possible, and don't stay in the Warcraft Forest for a long time."
"I You know, this is not a fun place.”
On the other hand, Wayne, Luo, Irina, and Susan were wandering around Oak Ridge with Bimoyer, and Undine and He were rushing beside them. The big head that won’t leave is also with him.
Ween held a machete listlessly and cleaned the grass and trees in front of his feet: "The World of Warcraft Forest is really boring. It's not as exciting as the places we experienced in ordinary mercenary missions before. Just go into the forest. In the past few days, apart from fighting off a few wild dogs and annoying monkeys, I haven’t encountered anything else.”
“Didn’t I also see the Death Demon Bear and... fight with that dinosaur?” Susan said.
"Carnotaurus." Wayne said: "What's so exciting about that? It's not fighting us. It would be exciting if we could work together to defeat the greedy and evil giant monster like in the story and obtain the treasure of victory."
Susan snickered and said: "You are the latest You must have read too many adventure novels. We are here to perform a mission, so there is no treasure."
Irina spread her hands helplessly and said: "Susan, that's what he is, he is full of heroes. ism and unrealistic fantasies, what if we really encounter something like the one in the novel? Scary guy, everyone is really in trouble."
Wein has long been used to derogating Irina, and he said: "This is not a fantasy, but a dream. The King of Heroes once said, People without dreams cannot become great heroes.”
"Hey, have you been reading a lot recently, and you have quoted the famous sayings of the Hero King Sag." Irina said: "Then have you ever heard that people who can't distinguish fantasy from reality will eventually You will be overwhelmed by your own fantasies and become a madman.”
Wayne shook his head: "Who said this?"
"Me." Irina said.
“Tch.”
“Look ahead.” Luo pointed forward and said, “Isn’t that Ian?”
Ian with a ponytail Si, you can recognize him at a glance from the back.
"It's him, what is he doing standing there?" Susan said. "Go over and have a look."
Ians didn't seem to notice someone coming from behind. He was holding two metal rods in his hand and gesticulating in the air.
"Hey Ians." Irina ran over from behind, startling him.
Ians quickly patted his chest and said: "What are you doing, you scared me to death."
Irina covered her mouth and smiled: "You are a big man, so timid. I just said hello to you and scared you into this."
Wayne muttered next to him: "Obviously. You scared him on purpose."
"What are you doing?" Susan saw the strange metal rod in his hand. , curiously asked: "What is this?"
"This, this is my baby." Ians smiled mysteriously: "Guess."
"Yeah ..." Susan stared at the metal rod for a long time, shook her head and said: "I can't guess, you better tell me."
Ians laughed: "This is called a detection rod, which I use to detect things."
Susan became even more curious: "What can this detect?"
Ians He smiled mysteriously again: "Guess again."
"It is used to detect water sources, metals, ores and gems." Bimoye broke this boring and uninteresting guessing game.
“Ha, you actually know.” Ians looked at Bimoye.
Everyone else was surprised. Wayne rushed up and said, "You said these two rods can find gems? Is that true?"
"I think these are just two ordinary metal rods. "Irina also said.
Luo raised his head and thought back: "Wait a minute, I seem to have heard of this kind of thing somewhere. It seems that there is such a saying. It seems to be called 'Water Seeking Technique' and 'Daojin Technique' "
"Yes, there is such a title." Ians nodded.
Irina and Susan both exclaimed: "Does this mean it can really find gems and gold mines?"
"This..." Ians smiled bitterly: "I don't know about this. I just heard this saying, so I gave it a try."
Bimoyer said: "I read it from the book I’ve been there, this is actually a form of divination, and there is no practice or basis to prove that this method is effective. People in ancient times preferred this form of divination, but people nowadays don’t believe in it.”< br>
Susan and Wayne were a little disappointed.
Irina asked: "Are you a money addict, you actually thought of using such an unreliable method to find treasures."
"Haha, no, no, no." Ian Si said: "What I am looking for is not a treasure, but a source of water."
"Looking for water?" Irina was even more surprised: "There are springs and streams everywhere in the Warcraft Forest, do you still need to look for it?"
Ians shook his head and said: "What I am looking for is not ordinary. The water is the water of the holy spring - the Demonic Spring of Agelessness."
