Chapter 56: [Trial, Heart of Oak]
Black Stone Labyrinth, the starting point is only two roads, south and north. There are more and more behind, and there are countless forks. It is very easy for the practitioners to get lost.
Of course, no matter how many forks, the final correct goal will be attributed to the only end point.
That is under the thousand-year-old oak tree.
Only the lucky ones who can walk under the ancient oak tree can get the heart of the oak tree.
However, this 'Heart of Oak', which enhances the abilities of plant-type war beasts, is a very unpopular reward compared to 'Earth Crystal', 'Soul of Beast Spirit', 'Eye of True Sight', etc. , Ordinary people are reluctant to go through the trials of the Black Rock Labyrinth, which is not very helpful to their war beasts. Unless someone is like Yue Bing, the life-guarding beast is a plant-type beast, otherwise few people mainly develop the plant-type beast. However, even so, for thousands of years, this black stone labyrinth has been visited by many cultivators of the plant system, and only the guidance marks cut on the black stone are densely packed and dizzy...
Yue Yang was a little sweaty, in the black stone labyrinth, there are also laws to prohibit.
He still couldn't get his hands on it.
Only one day has passed. If the Bull Shadow is summoned, the Five Elements Golden Rat cannot be summoned. On the contrary, if the Five Elements Golden Rat is summoned, then the Bull Shadow can only wait for tomorrow.
Fortunately, there is a gray wolf without a contract.
"Let's make a group of three. If you find Yue Bing first, then you must protect her well. I'm willing to pay extra. If you reach the finish line and haven't found Yue Bing, then go out and join the Warriors Guild. Wait for me!" Yue Yang separated from the brothers Ye Kong, Li Qi, and Li Que, he chose to go south, while Ye Kong and the three went north, looking for Yue Bing, who had been in for two days.
Ye Kong originally wanted Li Kuo to stay by Yue Yang's side to protect him, but when he thought that he would be safe in the Aries Palace, the words came to his lips and stopped again.
Besides, Yue Yang also has a gray wolf with a bronze level 4.
Although there are many monsters in the Black Stone Labyrinth, most of them are Level 1 and Level 2, and there are few Level 3 monsters.
"If you are lost, then use the teleportation scroll!" Yue Yang told Ye Kong and the others that although the teleportation scroll was expensive and cost one gold, he still prepared one.
"Yes." Ye Kong agreed, sweating a little in his heart, he would really get lost, I'm afraid it was the third young master of the Yue family who had never been out of the house, right?
"Don't worry, I have no problem walking the labyrinth!" Yue Yang smiled knowing what Ye Kong and the others were worried about.
He has five elements to find the golden mouse, and of course he has no problem finding the fork in the maze.
Even without these five little mice, Yue Yang's sense of direction is not bad. As long as he walks through it once, he will be able to record seven or eight percent of the road. This is still before crossing. After crossing the road, he practiced the innate sword qi that breaks the body and the invisible sword. Yue Yang felt that his wisdom, understanding, and induction had greatly improved. . Taking 10,000 steps back, I still have a second-level talent for discerning eyes, which is somewhat helpful for discerning paths.
Yue Yang walked very fast, he released five little mechanical mice and let them search forward.
With their exploration of the surroundings, Yue Yang has no possibility of getting lost, and even some ulterior motives who deliberately give wrong instructions will not be fooled, and directly choose the most correct route to move forward.
What made him feel a little regretful was that the Five Elements searched for the golden mouse, but he didn't find the scent of Yue Bing or the traces she left along the way.
Just now at the first fork in the road, Yue Yang couldn't summon the Five Elements to find the golden mouse in front of Ye Kong and the others, and chose the south side just by feeling. Now it seems that Yue Bing may be going to the north, and she is the exact opposite.
Otherwise, the Five Elements Golden Mouse had searched for so long, and there was no reason why she couldn't find the traces she left when she passed by.
Thinking of this, Yue Yang hurried forward, ready to wait for Yue Bing in front of the Wannian Ancient Oak Tree to give her a surprise!
Most of the monsters in Blackrock Labyrinth are insect or plant type.
You can often see large groups of low-level devil insects rushing out to attack people. Although their attack power is very bad, they are very disgusting and strange. Sometimes they are paired with plant-type monsters such as man-eating tiger thorns, corpse-eating king flowers, and ghost cages. Also quite a headache. Occasionally, two-level green snakes, grass snakes, flower snakes, marsh snakes, blue-tongue lizards, and fear-clawed lizards could be seen jumping out of the darkness and sneaking up on Yueyang who was passing by.
But don't say there is a big gray wolf, it is not, Yue Yang can turn a blind eye to these war beasts below the second level.
Although he can't do it himself, the skills of the innate realm are enough to avoid all dangers.
Big Gray Wolf was arrogant at this time.
The bull's shadow did not appear, and Xiao Wenli rested. It was the only one that bullied the little insect, the little snake, and the little lizard majestically, and let him abuse him all the way.
Yue Yang can now see it a little bit. In this black stone maze, obtaining the 'heart of the oak tree' is not the main purpose. It is true that the practitioners can get special training from the plant-type war beast during the entire trial process!
In some places, you must use the ability of the plant-type war beast to pass the level easily.
Otherwise, the cultivator must be like Yue Yang, possessing a gray wolf with a bronze level 4, and swept through the ground.
A treasure book contractor like Yue Bing should be able to improve a lot if they go all the way to the Blackstone Labyrinth and keep fighting. There are many battles that are aimed at plant-type war beasts. For example, some traps are of ice and fire attributes, which completely restrain the plant-type war beasts. If the manipulator is not good enough, he will not be able to survive... This kind of most basic trial It also has the effect of cultivating team spirit. In a few dangerous places, it is easier to pass through teamwork. It takes ten times the effort to pass the level alone.
What surprised Yue Yang the most was that this black stone maze completely prohibited flying beasts.
Perhaps it is the reason why the plant-type war beasts do not have the ability to fly. Yue Yang sometimes wanted to jump on the high black rock to look into the distance and look for Yue Bing, but found that he couldn't take off smoothly, and the height of the jump was much lower than the outside.
Six hours later, Yue Yang completed the trial road that ordinary alchemists could complete in at least three days, and arrived at the bottom of the ancient oak tree that was protected by dozens of tree spirit guards.
At first, Yue Yang thought that this tree had an old man's face, with a wrinkled face, a hooked nose, and a moving mouth that would speak like that. However, not at all. In addition to being so large that dozens of people can't hug each other, this tree is just full of a mysterious life energy, and there is a kind of aura of fluorescent light hidden in the canopy. Yue Yang now understands a little, the heart of the oak tree is not a wooden heart, but a life energy that is blessed on the body of the plant-type war beast. Rewards are given at the level of the smelter's complete mission.
In front of the thousand-year-old oak tree, there is a crystal column that emits a slight white light.
Its base is entwined by strips of tree root tentacles. It seems that it is connected with the ancient oak tree. The ancient oak tree distributes the energy of the 'Oak Heart' to the refiners according to the task level inscribed on the crystal column. award.
Yue Yang looked at it and found that the first-level task was the easiest, just to distinguish a hundred kinds of plant seeds behind the woods.
The second-level task is to collect a hundred kinds of mushrooms in the mushroom forest. Of course, these mushrooms are not just picked up, but you have to ask those mushroom war beasts that spray spores.
The third-level task is to collect 100 red apples in the apple orchard infested by fang spiders and variegated tree snakes; the fourth-level task is to kill ten marsh crocodiles in the Black Marsh Pool, each of which is at least a third-level war beast... …If the cultivators are confident, they can also go to the bloody water to move the nine-headed monsters there. I don’t know how many nine-headed monsters there are, but each nine-headed monster is at least a terrifying beast of bronze level 7 or above. This quest requires the trainee to just kill a Hydra, and the most important reward is a thousand-year-old 'Oak Heart'.
"Are you waiting for Yue Bing to come here, or should I try the Nine-Headed Monster's strength first?" Yue Yang hesitated a little, and finally found a gold coin.
The fate of the nine-headed monster is determined by the pros and cons of gold coins!
On the front, let it go for a while and wait until Yue Bing arrives; on the negative side, just chop it up!
The gold coin was thrown high...
