Valley Uproar

Tree Spirit are a type of plant spirit.

To ensure the success of this plan, and also to take responsibility for one's own life.

Linsey and Red did not act immediately, but instead remained hidden in the trees on the hilltop, continuing to observe the situation in Thorn Valley.

Half a day later.

The two gradually began to detect traces of the Tree Spirit's activities.

This long-term observation also implies one thing.

The Hunting Simulation module is now active.

With the combined effects of [Habit Survey] and [Weakness Survey], more information about the Tree Spirit gradually emerged in the Hunting Notes.

Linsey did not intend to engage in direct combat with these massive numbers of Devil Beast.

But a newly emerging clue helped him determine his next strategic course.

Tree Spirit inherit the activity habits of plants, being more active during the day and gaining strength under sunlight; however, their reaction speed decreases and their mobility diminishes at night and in cold environments.

Linsey turned her head to look at the sky.

The sun's trajectory is gradually shifting westward.

"Speaking of which, the first Tree Spirit I encountered was killed in the twilight sunlight. No wonder it always seems stronger than a normal Fourth Stage Devil Beast, but the one I poked down from the Climbing to Heaven Vine was much slower. Ultimately, it's the effect of sunlight and low temperatures."

Linsey whispered as she recalled her past experiences.

The light in the depths of the forest gradually dims as the sun sets in the west.

Hanging in the tree, Linsey and Red enjoyed a unique dinner before jumping down to begin their journey as darkness fell.

They did not enter the Thorn Valley.

Half an hour later, instead of circling the towering terrain around the bottom of the Thorn valley, they gradually approached the northern hills.

Once we reach the ideal vantage point...

Linsey took out the Silent Edge rag and began rubbing it on the surface of the Iron Horn Great Bow.

Because there was no work available, Hong was a little unhappy, and she tried to find something she could do:

"Linsey, are you sure you don't need my help?"

"For example, if I throw you a little higher, you can shoot it farther!"

"..."

Linsey glanced at the guy and reassured him, "Don't worry, we're going to cause trouble for the Dragon Beast Envoy later, then it'll be your turn to make your move!"

While they were talking, Linsey was already ready.

The Iron Horn Great Bow was in perfect condition, and the arrows he chose were the most suitable Armor-Piercing Arrow. However, compared to the previous ambush on the Fifth Stage forest giant bear, he had taken out one more item.

Miniature Spider Nest

During her more than six-month journey, this nest-like creature has provided Linsey with a great many spider materials.

Linsey will not lack relevant materials for the foreseeable future.

"But we treat resource-producing items as consumables."

"If you did this in a long-running game, you would definitely be criticized to no end."

Linsey remarked, then without hesitation, tied the Miniature Spider Nest to the arrow.

To ensure this strike achieves the best effect.

Food and equipment that increase strength, the Essence Burst technique, the highest point on the entire hill.

Having gathered all these elements, Linsey quietly drew back the Iron Horn Great Bow.

[——⊕——]

Linsey's eyes changed, and a crosshair suddenly appeared in her vision, predicting the arrow's landing point.

He had almost never tried launching objects from such a long distance before.

But with the help of the [FPS template], he doesn't need to think about any details.

By constantly adjusting the angle of the bow and arrow, he quickly found the shooting arc that would allow the arrow to fly to the farthest point.

"This is it."

"..."

In the forest under the cover of night, there was not a sound except for Linsey's soft murmurs.

But the arrow had already been shot.

The Silent Edge silenced all the noise of the Iron Horn Great Bow being fired.

The arrows, bound with the [Miniature Spider Nest], shot into the dark night sky in an instant, flying through the darkness unnoticed by anyone.

A powerful force guided the arrows to move swiftly.

It initially had an extremely high velocity, gradually shooting into the sky before its speed began to decrease and it began to fall downwards, maintaining a forward position throughout the entire process.

A few breaths later, the arrow silently fell into the Thorn Valley. It didn't even manage to pierce the tree trunk it hit, but instead crashed to the ground upon impact.

Bang—smack—

Crack! Crack! Crack! In an instant, the [Miniature Spider Nest] began to tear apart, and one after another, yellowish-green, Corrupted Poison Spider emerged from it.

The achievement items given by the Hunting Notes have a trait.

The stronger the creature, the better the reward; and the more kills, the better the reward.

The Corrupted Poison Spider race has Fifth Stage of Lord.

Linsey's kill count was also very high, which is why he was able to obtain the [Miniature Spider Nest], a resource-rich artifact that is continuously produced.

Now, the power of this rare item is being unleashed all at once.

The Corrupted Poison Spider that erupted from the nest seemed endless.

Although they lack consciousness, their combat power is generally maintained at the third to Fourth Stage, and their numbers are constantly increasing without any sign of stopping in the short term!

Tree Spirit that hibernate at night.

They never expected the crisis to erupt from the heart of their homeland.

By the time the Tree Spirit realized the invasion of the Corrupted Poison Spider, it was too late.

Dozens of enormous, terrifying-looking spiders have begun to spread throughout the valley. Some are weaving webs to set traps, while others are rubbing their venomous claws to indiscriminately hunt other creatures.

The sounds of fighting and screams rose and fell.

Tree Spirit are less active at night, but spiders are nocturnal hunters.

Half an hour later, the power of the [Miniature Spider Nest] was completely exhausted, and it turned into several pieces of white spider web debris scattered on the ground.

But the entire Thorn Valley was truly in an uproar!

The complete release of a hundred Corrupted Poison Spider is a force to be reckoned with, even in the Starshine Forest.

In the maddening forest under the cover of night, they act in groups, indiscriminately slaughtering all life. The killing that erupted from the center of their home inevitably spread rapidly.

Strange roars and the sounds of plants tearing apart rose and fell.

The entire valley was transformed into a hell in an instant!

"..."

"Linsey, where did you get this from?"

From the hilltop, watching everything unfold below, Red cast a rather subtle glance at Linsey: "When you train with me, are you just going through the motions?"

Linsey to her senses and immediately shook her head in rejection:

"Are you kidding me!"

"I feel a lot of pressure fighting you now!"

"Besides, I only have one of these on hand, and once it's used up, it's completely gone!"

On the surface, Linsey was still exchanging jokes and banter with Red.

But the pressure in my heart is no less.

He was willing to sacrifice the Miniature Spider Nest, but what he gained was not this massacre in Thorn Valley; his true objective has not yet been achieved.

Linsey's gaze fell on the Hunting Notes.

The [Miniature Spider Nest] was launched by him, and the kill count of the Tree Spirit below will definitely be counted on his head.

4, 7, 12, 19...

The constantly fluctuating numbers also indicate that the situation continues to deteriorate.

The achievement count of 25/25 was quickly reached, and Linsey immediately claimed the reward.

[Equipment/Materials: Thornwood Bracers]

[A wooden wristband engraved with Thorn pattern. Wearing it enhances Constitution and strengthens the skin's defenses; it can also be used as a material to craft other items.]

[Achievement item, moderate value.]

Linsey placed the Thornwood Bracers on the Workbench, and a crafting recipe that caught his eye popped up:

[1 Thornwood Bracers + 1 Vines + 3 Plant Seeds = Thorn Bracelet]

Linsey hurriedly searched for a synthesis formula that she had been longing for for a long time.

really--

[1 Treant Crown + 1 Flower Fairy Anklet + 1 Thorn Bracelet = Forest Brooch]

"!!!"

"We only need Vines to synthesize the [Thorn Bracelet]!"

Vines.

It just so happens to be the material that Tree Spirit produce.

Just as Linsey was getting excited, as if echoing the good news before her, there was another commotion coming from the Banyan Forest in the distance.

"Roar--"

A frantic howl echoed from the mountains, then rapidly approached the Thorn Valley.

In an instant, Linsey and Red realized they had achieved their goal.

"!"

Their eyes met, and their figures moved forward almost simultaneously, rushing towards the northern hills.

"The Tree Mother has been distracted by the riots."

"Now, it's our turn to act!"
