Bringing Shui Ruo with him was something that Ling Chen instinctively did. In the real world, this was the case. In the virtual world, he would still place her safety as his number one priority. Moreover, deep within his heart, he wanted to spend more time with her. Ever since Ling Shui Ruo had contracted Isloka, it had been a long time since he had been able to hold hands with her and play with her.
"Big brother. I'll go with big sister Meng Xin and the others then. I can't always rely on big brother. " Ling Shui Ruo, who was stopped by Xiao Qi, hesitated for a while before agreeing to Xiao Qi and the others' wishes … indeed, after Ling Chen left, they only had 5 people left in their party. This challenge was given to a 12-person party, and even with Mu Bing Yao, it would be incredibly difficult for them to complete it. However, with Ling Shui Ruo, with her powerful healing and support abilities as a Fairy Priest, they wouldn't have to worry too much.
5 people, 2 of whom had Hidden Professions. This was quite a shocking line-up.
Although he was quite reluctant, since Shui Ruo had asked, Ling Chen couldn't bear to refuse. He smiled as he said, "Alright then. Meng Xin, Bing Yao, Qi Qi, Su Su, make sure you protect Ruo Ruo. I don't want to see her come to any harm … if there's any danger that you can't deal with, remember to call me."
"Mhmm, don't worry! Ruo Ruo is so cute, we can't bear to see her come to any danger … plus, it's not us protecting Ruo Ruo, it's Ruo Ruo protecting us, "after receiving Ling Chen's permission, Xiao Qi grabbed Shui Ruo's hand as she happily smiled.
"Don't worry, we'll protect her. Indeed, without Ruo Ruo, it would be very difficult for the four of us to pass this trial, even with Big Sister Bing Yao, "Yun Meng Xin said.
Only Mu Bing Yao knew that Ling Chen's seemingly gentle words, "Protect Ruo Ruo, I don't want to see her come to any harm", were incredibly serious. Hence, her next task was no longer to kill the Ogres, but to protect Shui Ruo. With her abilities, it wouldn't be too difficult for her to kill 200 Ogres without taking any damage. However, it would definitely take her more than an hour to complete this quest. With Meng Xin and the others here, her hunting speed would be much faster, but she would also have to protect them.
"Well then, let's leave this place first. I'll go do my next quest," Ling Chen said as he took out a Return Scroll.
For the next task, Ling Chen was alone, but none of them felt that there was anything wrong with it. With Xi Ling's strength, no matter how difficult the task was, she could easily pass it.
Ling Chen then left. Ling Shui Ruo clasped her hands and shouted in her heart, "Brother, do your best … I will do my best too."
The Azure Dragon City's Plaza was still very noisy, but it was not as monotonous as it was before. There were advertisements from various large guilds everywhere, and most of the cries were from the various guilds recruiting. The second Challenge Quest required him to go to the Forest Region. This Quest could not be directly teleported to the location, but rather, he had to walk there. As such, the first difficulty of this Quest was to safely pass through the plains and reach the Forest Region.
However, this was not a problem for Ling Chen. When he first went to Lonely Spirit Ridge, he had already passed through the plains and the Forest Region. He had also bought Return Scrolls from all the towns along the way, and one of them was at the edge of the Forest Region. As such, he could directly reach the edge of the Forest Region.
After finding a Return Scroll, he crushed it. After a flash of white light, Ling Chen appeared in the town at the edge of the Forest Region. He replenished some potions in the town, then rushed straight into the Forest Region. He wasn't too interested in the first two quests. He was mainly interested in the last two quests … especially the "Moon God Ruins" quest.
The monsters in the Forest Region were ferocious beasts, and most of them were mutants. They were all above level 25, and players at the current stage of the game could only run away if they encountered them. This was completely different from the first Quest. The first Challenge Quest was to find Ogres to hunt, but this Quest Quest required players to do their best to avoid the monsters, and then carefully search for the quest target. This Quest Quest did not have a time limit. As long as he obtained three Red Crystal Grass, he would be able to complete the Quest Quest three times in a row.
When Ling Chen first passed through the Forest Region, he was moving at full speed, trying his best to avoid the various monsters. As such, he did not notice anything similar to the description of the Red Crystal Grass. After entering the Forest Region, Ling Chen had to start from the beginning.
Other than the sounds of birds and beasts, there were no other noises in the Forest Region, and there were no other players. There was probably no other player like him who could directly enter the Forest Region. Even if other players wanted to complete this Quest Quest, they would have to spend a lot of time to pass through the plains first.
Red Crystal Grass … From the name, this plant should be red in color, and it seemed to be in a crystalline state. Ling Chen slowed down his footsteps, slowly searching every corner of his field of vision. The Forest Region was overgrown with weeds, and there were all kinds of plants. Most of them were green or yellowish green. Ling Chen walked for more than half an hour, but he did not find a single red, crystalline plant. From time to time, one or a group of monsters would suddenly rush out from the side. The monsters here were all above Level 25, and it would take some effort for Ling Chen to deal with them alone. On the other hand, Xi Ling could kill a group of monsters instantly. So, Ling Chen did not pay attention to any of the monsters. Even if a large group of monsters suddenly jumped out, he would not even bother to look at them … because with Xi Ling around, they would only be rushing to their deaths.
What's going on? Another half an hour passed, and Ling Chen, who still did not find anything, began to frown. This Quest was open to all players, and every group had to find 3 Red Crystal Grass. With the number of players in Hua Xia, there should be a large amount of Red Crystal Grass. Otherwise, how could there be so many players to complete this Quest? However, after walking around for so long and killing so many monsters, why hadn't they found a single Red Crystal Grass?
"Big brother!! We did it! The 5 of us have passed this Quest!! "
Just as Ling Chen was about to continue searching, Shui Ruo's excited voice sounded out from Ling Chen's communication device. Hearing Shui Ruo's voice, Ling Chen's depression from not being able to find any Red Crystal Grass was instantly swept away. With Mu Bing Yao's strength, as long as she had enough time, she would be able to complete this Quest by herself. Adding on Meng Xin's 2 Gold grade weapons and Shui Ruo's overall strength, it was not strange for the 5 of them to complete the Ogre Slaying Quest.
"Hehe! Big brother Ling Tian, we're amazing, right? Even without you, we still passed! "This was Xiao Qi's voice. Right now, she was definitely smiling from ear to ear.
"It's all thanks to Ruo Ruo. If it wasn't for Ruo Ruo, we really would have been in danger. "This was Yun Meng Xin's voice.
"The 5 of you completed a Quest that 12 other players wouldn't even be able to complete. You're all quite amazing." Ling Chen smiled as he said, "Now, do you want to come to the Forest Region to do the second Quest?"
"Of course not! We want to challenge this Quest again! Just then, it was so exciting, so thrilling! We definitely have to do it again! "
"Agreed!"
Ling Chen: "… …"
The five girls agreed to carry out the Ogre Slaying Quest. They didn't want the two pieces of Bronze equipment, but the sense of belonging to the team and the sense of accomplishment of completing the quest with their own efforts. After hanging up, they went to the business district to replenish their supplies, while Ling Chen continued to search for Red Crystal Grass. Perhaps his good mood had brought him good luck, but after taking a few steps, a faint red dot appeared in front of his eyes.
That was …
Ling Chen immediately walked over. This was already the northern edge of the Forest Region. If he continued north, he would no longer see the Forest, but various irregular mountain walls. The mountain walls were densely covered with all sorts of vines, and the red dot was at the foot of the mountain wall.
Squatting down in front of the plant that was emitting a faint red light, Ling Chen pushed aside the surrounding weeds and looked at it.
[Red Crystal Grass]: A type of warm plant. Its stem is like a red crystal, hence its name. It can be eaten directly. After eating, it can recover the vitality of a weak person.
This is it!
Ling Chen immediately stretched out his hand and plucked the Red Crystal Grass, placing it in his bag. He then got up and looked around to see if there were any other Red Crystal Grass. At this time, Little Gray, who had been following behind him, suddenly let out a cry and ran straight towards the mountain wall.
Every time Little Gray behaved strangely, it meant that it had discovered something special. Ling Chen immediately followed. Little Gray ran along the mountain wall and stopped after a while. Then, it stood in front of the large number of vines hanging on the mountain wall. It let out a few "woo woo" sounds and scratched the vines a few times with its claws.
Ling Chen immediately understood. He took a few steps forward, summoned the Zephyr Blade, and slashed at the vines with a "Ling Tian Slash".
Bang!
With a muffled sound, Ling Chen's Zephyr Blade was almost shaken off. However, these incomparably thick vines that had grown for who knew how many years were undamaged. If the weapon did not have the Destruction attribute, no matter how powerful the attack was, it would not be able to destroy them.
Putting away the Zephyr Blade, Ling Chen took a few steps back and shouted in a low voice, "Xi Ling, burn these vines. Be careful not to affect the surrounding area."
Xi Ling accepted the order and flew high into the air. With a loud cry and a flap of its red wings, a crimson beam of light descended from the sky. Like a flaming arrow, it flew towards the vines that Ling Chen had just cut.
Whoosh …
A scorching wind blew past Ling Chen. Although he was more than ten meters away, the scorching heat still made Ling Chen's face ache. The crimson beam of light collided with the vines and exploded into a large ball of crimson flames. Black smoke rose into the air, and a large hole with a diameter of two meters appeared on the wall of vines. The shape of the hole was a standard circle. When it was formed, the flames had completely disappeared and did not burn the surroundings … Behind the burnt hole was not the mountain wall, but a dark area.
It was a cave covered by vines!
