Although a lot of time was wasted in rescuing Xiao Chubai, they also saved a lot of time while rushing forward in the Tree Demon valley. Due to a strange combination of circumstances, the final arrival time was actually about the same as the original plan, or even a little earlier.
Passing through the complicated Anze River, the waters in front gradually became connected. Finally, on a hillside with lush flowers and grass, everyone saw the vast lake not far away.
Autumn Cloud Lake.
The twilight of the mountains and rivers is the same as that of autumn, and the moon locks silver waves like clouds.
It is said that before the natural disaster, it was also a famous scenic spot in the wild, where the lake was always clear and the air was full of tranquility...
Later, with the recovery of spiritual energy, the area increased greatly, and now the scenery is even more beautiful. Unfortunately, there are not many people who can come here to watch it. The strong people of this era not only have a higher status, but also can see a wider world.
"Look at the sky, it should be about half an hour before nightfall." Luo Bawen looked around, "After nightfall, the mist will cover the area where the snow lotus grows at the bottom. Mature Cloud Wave Snow Lotus will come out of the water at night and absorb the moonlight. This is the time to pick." "Pick Cloud Wave Snow Lotus itself. There is no danger, but there is a monster named "Lingbo Swallow'" living around Autumn Cloud Lake. This monster has been promoted for generations by eating Cloud Wave Snow Lotus's lotus seeds, so it regards the snow lotus as a belonging of its own family and protects it very strictly. Once anyone gets close to the snow lotus on the water, Lingbo Swallow will launch a siege."
"Lingbo Swallow flies extremely fast and has iron feathers on its wings. When swallows rush to kill it, it can grind a person into mincemeat in an instant. So when picking Cloud Wave Snow Lotus, you must go back quickly."
What he said is all in the guide. Several members of the team have made it here, so of course they don't know about it.
However, Luo Bawen was such a person, so he still emphasized the key points one by one. After he finished talking about the precautions, it looked like the sky was completely dark.
While waiting, Xiao Chubai came to Dong Mengyao and asked in a low voice, "Is your leg okay?"
"It's nothing serious." Dong Mengyao replied calmly, "Thanks to you being possessed by Shadow Nightmare just now, I was able to use my energy to drive away the poison for so long." Xiao Chubai's face turned red and said, "The situation here is indeed different from what I imagined..."
He had followed Wasteland Zone in other cities before. Although they were all led characters, he had indeed accumulated some experience and his strength was not weak. However, after coming to Jiang City, the environment of Wasteland Zone changed. In addition, what happened just now was really... He was unable to defend himself, so he missed one after another. Dong Mengyao and he did not simply form a team, but he took the initiative to contact the other party. After chatting for a while, the other party expressed the idea of entering Wasteland Zone, and Xiao Chubai immediately said that he could take the other party there.
When describing my experience, I was somewhat boastful.
He rushed to take care of his girl, but he was in such a mess along the way. He only relied on the help of his teammates, so Dong Mengyao had a cold attitude towards him. If she were a passerby in the ordinary team, she would not have the emotion.
"It's okay. Fortunately, there was no danger." Dong Mengyao turned his face to the other side, "Let's not talk too much in private, as it can easily cause other people to misunderstand." "Ah." Xiao Chubai's shoulders trembled.
Dong Mengyao's gaze was directed to the other side of the hillside.
Yue Wen was sitting there looking at the scenery. Fat Auntie handed an apple from the side, "Would you like one?"
He looked back at Fat Auntie's enthusiastic smiling face and refused with a smile, "Sister Yu, I won't eat, I'm not very hungry."
"You young people, you just don't relax." There should be a lot of food in Fat Auntie's Storage Magic Artifact. She took back the apple, took out a chicken drumstick wrapped in a paper bag, sat on the ground and started to eat.
Yue Wen Inexplicably, it feels like riding a train with an elder. The other person will take out all kinds of fruits and vegetables, hot braised cooked food, eat and drink, sing and dance. But he will just sit there and play with his mobile phone, waiting for the train to arrive at the station quickly.
He has never been a relaxed person.
In other words, now is not the time for him to relax, there are still too many things that need to be done.
Just now at the waterside, I fought side by side with Xiao Chubai to fish for water ghosts. Although he was very efficient, he didn't have much time. He killed nearly 150 Demon Suppressing Coin before and after.
The total gains from this whole trip were just over two hundred. Adding in the more than two hundred I already had, it was still not enough, but it was not far behind.
Whether I can get Dragon Snake Evasion Method depends on whether I will give face to Lingbo Swallow later.
Because they will return the same way when they leave, the evil spirits of Wasteland Zone are not refreshed that fast. If the owner of a territory is killed, it will not be occupied by new evil spirits overnight.
So there is a good chance that the journey back will be much calmer than when we came here.
If I can't save all Demon Suppressing Coin here, I may have to go back to the city again. I don't know how much time is wasted going back and forth. I have to work hard tonight. I was calculating small accounts in my mind when Luo Bawen in front of me suddenly shouted, "Snow lotus is out!"
It turned out that while they were talking to each other, the sky had turned completely dark. The blurred cloud light filtered through the clouds and sparsely fell down. A sparkling white light appeared on Autumn Cloud Lake.
As the moonlight fell, streaks of mist rose in the center of the lake. One wisp, two wisps... formed approximately circular areas on the lake. If you look closely, there seem to be more than a dozen in number.
"Thirteen!" Luo Bawen was delighted when he saw this. "There are quite a lot of snow lotuses in the first batch this year. Are there actually thirteen?"
Cloud Wave Snow Lotus The quantity of each batch is not large, almost between five and ten, so the number of people in their team is also controlled to five people. This is to ensure that everyone has something to gain when encountering the smallest number of snow lotus.
As for how much each person can harvest, it depends on how quickly the snow lotus is picked.
After the moonlight fell for a moment, ripples rippled in the mist. From the water vapor and mist, flower buds emerged, slowly opening under the moonlight. The moment the petals spread, little bits of substantial aura floated out like fireflies.
"It's time to pick." Luo Bawen reminded, "According to the agreement, each person will lock one flower first, and the one who picks it quickly can pick the next one. Pick the farthest one first, don't fight!"
"Okay."
Everyone responded and moved out in unison.
Xiao Chubai said to Dong Mengyao next to him, "Look, I must be the first one to pick snow lotus!"
Dong Mengyao ignored it and set off straight away.
Although there are a lot of Cloud Wave Snow Lotus flowers, more than a dozen are distributed on the huge lake, and each one is far apart. Everyone picks the far ones first, so that when they come back, they can pick the closer ones along the way.
Seen from high in the sky, it looks like five stars scattered on the huge ice surface.
As they approached the mist on the lake, another black dot came over, scattered scattered, and surrounded several practitioners. Yue Wen transformed into a sword light and fell in the farthest mist. Below the lake was a lotus that looked like an ice sculpture made of snow. But he did not rush to pick it like others, but Spiritual Sense spread out and looked around.
Where is the promised Lingbo Swallow?
Before I could finish my thoughts, a black light flashed across my eyes!
Whoosh
A black light flashed past him, and Yue Wen quickly moved sideways, narrowly avoiding all of this.
Only later did I see that it was a black bird flying by. Its iron-feathered wings were as sharp as cutting gold and stone at high speed. It was said to be called Lingbo Swallow, but this "swallow" was larger than usual. The wild goose is much wider, especially the pair of horizontal wings. After a swooping slash, the black bird's momentum slowed down a bit. Yue Wen saw the opportunity, and Sword Control Art took action immediately.
Boom boom.
A stream of light shot the black bird into the air!
But then there were three other Lingbo Swallows that circled around and then swooped down, whoosh whoosh!
Yue Wen threw a shadow talisman high into the sky in advance. Seeing that he was surrounded by three birds, he flashed and teleported directly to a high place. Sword Control Art took action again and killed three Lingbo Swallow in succession.
At this time, most of the others had completed their first picking and were ready to rush to the next place.
When Fat Auntie passed by the fog Yue Wen, he reminded him, "Brother Yue, you have to pick faster! Otherwise, more and more Lingbo Swallow will besiege you!"
"Oh?" Yue Wen said suspiciously.
Will there be more and more...
Is there such a good thing?
So he was not in a hurry to pick snow lotuses, but hung in the mist and waited quietly for the swarms of Lingbo Swallow. Whenever a large number of Lingbo Swallow besieged him, he would release his shadow talisman to teleport away, and then use Sword Control Art to harvest.
Hee hee hee hee
This kind of provocative behavior attracted a large number of Lingbo Swallow to besieged by friends and companions.
Soon, the fog where he was was surrounded by a large flock of black birds, almost blocking out the sky and the sun.
Lingbo Swallow, who was surrounded by others, was not as numerous as he was alone.
In comparison, picking snow lotus is not that important to him, killing Lingbo Swallow is the top priority. Using the snow lotus as a guide, he gathered a flock of birds in the sky!
The tactic adopted is exactly a tactic of encircling the point and calling for reinforcements!
The sky is vast and the swords are shining in all directions!
After picking the second Cloud Wave Snow Lotus, Xiao Chubai raised his head and saw the vast flock of birds over there. He couldn't help being surprised, "Brother Yue, what are you doing?"
He...
Are you here to hunt birds or to collect lotus?
Luo Bawen also looked back, his pupils trembled, and then he shouted suddenly, "I know! He is gathering monsters to buy us time!" "Gathering monsters?"
When the others heard his shout, they all looked over in confusion.
"I had thought of this tactic back then. If the Cloud Wave Snow Lotus is opened more, one person can gather the demon birds, and the other people can quickly pick up the remaining snow lotus. This is more efficient."
"But in this way, the person who gathers the monsters has the greatest risk, contributes the most, and gains the least. If he is betrayed in the end, he will get nothing. It will be difficult for anyone to make sacrifices, and the plan will come to nothing."
"Unexpectedly..."
Luo Bawen had shock in his eyes and was very moved.
"Brother Yue not only came up with such a tactic the first time he came to Wasteland Zone, but he also took the initiative to take on the responsibility of gathering monsters for us, attracting almost all the monster birds. Even if he is so strong, what is more valuable than his strength is his willingness to sacrifice... We just met by chance!"
"He really is..."
"Great character!"
