As players began to flood into Azure Dragon City, Ling Chen spent almost all of his remaining time galloping on his horse.
After the plains was the Mountain Forest. The Mountain Forest was filled with LV20 to LV30 monsters. Moreover, there were many types of monsters, and there were all kinds of hidden traps. It was much more dangerous than the plains. After the Mountain Forest was a medium-sized town. In the Mystic Moon continent, besides the main cities, there were also secondary cities. There were also countless small and medium sized towns and villages. These towns outside of the main cities would also sell the corresponding Return Scrolls. Therefore, these towns not only hid all kinds of large and small quests and supplies, but they could also be used to quickly move around using the town's Return Scrolls. Therefore, every time Ling Chen passed by a town, he would stop and buy the town's Return Scroll. Then he would find the NPC to ask about the most convenient way to get through Lonely Spirit Ridge.
The difficulty of the hidden quests were all ridiculously high. This quest's first step was already extremely difficult … From Azure Dragon City to the east, it was more than 200 kilometers. If it was just running, it would only take a bit of time. But along the way, there were countless monster territories, and the further he went, the more dangerous the monsters became. To safely pass through all the high level monster territories to reach the quest point, it was not something that an average player could do.
Ling Chen did not stop, running from night to early morning. He had already clearly discovered that the further east he went, the fewer towns there were, and the less people there were. The place he was now in was a desolate area. Big and small mountains were randomly arranged. Running was obviously much more difficult than when he first left Azure Dragon City. And obviously, this was a good place for all kinds of fierce beasts. So along the way, Ling Chen did not let his guard down, always paying attention to his surroundings. Level 13, this kind of level was high among the players. Even if he did not train for three days, no one would be able to catch up to him. But in the entire Forgotten Continent, this was the lowest level. And in this dangerous place, any monster that jumped out was enough to take his life.
Stepping out of the territory of the level 45 Sawed-Tooth Blood Leopard, Ling Chen came to a safe area and finally stopped. Just as he was about to log off, the communication device rang, and Yun Feng's voice came through.
"Haha, Ling Chen! Can you hear me? I've been grinding all night, and now I've finally arrived at Azure Dragon City. I'm in the plaza right now … Damn, the number of players here is too terrifying. I can't even squeeze into the class change hall. Right, where are you now? My little sister Meng Xin arrived last night, and has already changed her profession. I'll take you to see her. If she knows that the helper I found for her is you, she'll definitely be very surprised. "
"Your sister wants to establish a guild called Heart's Dreams, right?" Ling Chen asked.
"Yes."
"How many people are there now?"
"Err … Ahem, actually, 'Heart's Dreams' hasn't really been established yet, nor has it appeared in the previous game world. It doesn't have any foundation of people, so it can only start to develop after arriving at Azure Dragon City. That was why, at first, they could only appear in the form of a small guild — a workshop. Then, they slowly developed. Now, including you, there are a total of … five people. "
Ling Chen: "…"
"Sigh, I know this number is terrible, but … sigh, no matter what, I can't just sit back and do nothing. This is her last struggle. I know her personality. Even if she knows it's impossible, she still has to try … She said that even if it's a small, almost invisible hope, it's still hope, and there's always a chance. If you don't even have the courage to try and give up, that's the real tragedy. "Yun Feng sighed a few times. All this while, from what he said and what he did, Ling Chen could feel that he really loved his only sister … Just like how he loved Shui Ruo.
Ling Chen was silent for a while, then said: "Is that what she said?"
"Yes."
At this moment, Ling Chen had a slight desire to meet this girl called "Meng Xin". At least in terms of her stubborn personality, she was very similar to him.
"I've just arrived at Azure Dragon City, so there must be a lot of things to deal with. Let's settle down for a day or two. I also have a task to do. As for meeting her, let's talk about it in a day or two. "Ling Chen said. Because of Shui Ruo, he will definitely help Meng Xin, until she reaches Yun Feng's expectations. But in two days, to support a girl who can be said to have nothing, this is really too difficult.
"No problem! When you have time, just contact me directly! Oh yes, that Soaring Cloud … "
Pa!
Ling Chen directly hung up and went offline to make breakfast for Shui Ruo.
Afternoon, Peace Town.
According to the Azure Dragon City Leader, Peace Town was the closest town to Lonely Spirit Ridge. Continuing to the east, there were no signs of human habitation, because in less than 15 kilometers, it was the "Ghastly Grounds" that everyone feared. After the Ghastly Grounds, it was the Lonely Spirit Ridge that no one had ever come out alive. The name Peace Town was obviously chosen by the villagers to pray for peace. After all, it was so close to such a dangerous place, they couldn't help but worry about the arrival of disaster.
Arriving at Peace Town meant that they were very close to Lonely Spirit Ridge.
To be honest, the reason why Ling Chen didn't spend much time leveling, but rushed here, was mainly to collect enough information as soon as possible, so that he had enough time to prepare. His current strength compared to the Forgotten Continent, was completely at the bottom of the bottom. There were so many Forgotten Continent experts that went to Lonely Spirit Ridge, but none of them came back alive. He really couldn't find any reason to believe that he could do better than them.
Peace Town was very small, the whole town only had a few hundred people, but all the shops were available. However, except for the main city, all the shops in the towns that he passed by did not sell energy crystals. Obviously, selling crystals was a privilege that only the main city had.
"Hello uncle, may I ask how to get to Lonely Spirit Ridge?" In Peace Town, almost every house was closed, and there were very few pedestrians on the streets. Ling Chen waited for a long time, and quickly went up to ask.
"Oh, from here to the northeast about 15 kilometers … What!? You want to go to Lonely Spirit Ridge? " The middle-aged man reacted with a look of horror on his face, and then quickly stopped him, "Young man, you must be an adventurer passing through here, right? Don't ever go to a place like Lonely Spirit Ridge, it's a place of death, no one who goes there has ever come back alive! I've lived here for decades, and just thinking of the name Lonely Spirit Ridge still makes my whole body shiver, don't go! "
The middle-aged man's expression of horror was not fake, he had lived in the nearest town to Lonely Spirit Ridge for so many years, and hearing the name still made him scared, you can imagine how scary it was. Ling Chen asked, "Why is that place so scary? Is there a very strong monster in there? "
"Sigh, no one knows about this." The middle-aged man shook his head, "There is a ghastly place in front of Lonely Spirit Ridge. The ghastly place is surrounded by ghost energy, and there are groups of terrible undead and zombies wandering around. Anyone who gets close to that place will feel dizzy and weak. Our ancestors said that there are countless undead that release death energy, and it can devour people's life. Although the death energy in the ghastly place is scary, but if you are prepared, you won't die. Our village is only a dozen kilometers away from the ghastly place, but we will also be affected by the death energy there. Therefore, the village has a way to resist this kind of death energy since a long time ago. But even so, once someone passes through the ghastly place and enters the range of Lonely Spirit Ridge, they will disappear from the world, and no one can come back. Young man, you must be an adventurer from another world, right? Otherwise, you must know how scary Lonely Spirit Ridge is. It is one of the forbidden areas that everyone on Forgotten Continent is afraid of, don't go near there. "
Death energy?
Ling Chen nodded, "I know, thank you for telling me about this place. By the way, what is the method you were talking about that can resist the death energy? "
"Oh, that is a special food in our village. After eating it, it can reduce the effects of the death energy for a certain period of time, and it is so delicious that I haven't had enough of it for decades. This kind of food is sold there, I believe that after you have tasted it, you will understand what it means to be a heavenly delicacy! " The middle-aged man pointed to a closed door and said, his face showing a satisfied and intoxicated expression, as if he was savoring the "heavenly delicacy" in his mouth.
Ling Chen remembered the location of the house, and after thinking for a while, he continued to ask, "In Lonely Spirit Ridge, is there a plant called 'Phyllostachys Nigra'?"
The middle-aged man nodded, "In the ancient records of Lonely Spirit Ridge, there is indeed information about Phyllostachys Nigra. But since Lonely Spirit Ridge has become a forbidden area, whether or not Phyllostachys Nigra still exists is unknown. Speaking of Phyllostachys Nigra, there were a few groups of people from Azure Dragon City who went to Lonely Spirit Ridge to find Phyllostachys Nigra. They didn't listen to our advice and went to Lonely Spirit Ridge. Until now, they still haven't come back, they must have already become ghosts there. Young man, remember my words, do not go near there. That place is scarier than you can imagine. "
After talking with the middle-aged man, Ling Chen walked around Peace Town for a long time. Every time he saw a villager, he would go up and ask them, but he didn't get any other useful information. Here, when the people heard the words "Lonely Spirit Ridge", they would show a look of fear, and then desperately try to stop him from going to that place. Without continuing to ask, Ling Chen came to the house that the middle-aged man pointed to, opened the door, and a gust of white hot air suddenly hit his face.
"Greetings, adventurer from afar. Come and drink a bowl of our unique delicacy to drive away the chill in your body. I believe that after you taste it, you will understand what is a delicacy that can only be found in heaven! I might even desire to stay here forever and accompany this delicacy for the rest of my life, "a skinny old man said with a smile as he held a big steaming bowl.
… What kind of food was that? Was it really that delicious? Ling Chen looked at the big bowl in his hand.
Rice Porridge: Porridge made from rice. After consumption, HP will be restored by 10%. For 10 minutes, the influence of Death Aura will be reduced to a certain extent. Price: 3 Silver Coins
Ling Chen: "! @ # ¥% … "
"Give me 20 bowls." The corner of Ling Chen's mouth twitched. Without saying a word, he took out 6 gold coins and traded it to the old man. Twenty bowls of porridge would be effective for 200 minutes. He had come here to scout, not to complete the mission. Twenty bowls should be enough. More importantly, he remembered that when he left Azure Dragon City, he only had a few gold coins left. Even if he wanted to buy more, he wouldn't be able to.
Therefore, after preparing 20 bowls of hot porridge, Ling Chen drove the Cloud-treading Colt and went straight to the Lonely Spirit Ridge in the northeast direction.
