Rebirth of the God Hunter Legend

Chapter 159 is level 1
"The danger zone is 30 meters away, so stay here and wait for the surprise. As for the hard work, I'll take care of it. Just listen to me."

After saying that, Ling Chuan smiled slightly, turned around and led Tao to disappear into the thick fog, leaving the four of them silent.

"Sister Xue."

Watching Ling Chuan's retreating figure, Lin Xixi asked with a complicated expression, "Does my ex-brother really have severe social anxiety?"

"This one……"

In the past, Ling Feixue would have given an answer without hesitation, but now, even she didn't know how to define it. If she said Xiao Chuan didn't, then apart from her, Yi Han, and the Lin sisters, she had never heard Xiao Chuan talk to anyone else in reality; if she said Xiao Chuan did, then he no longer closed himself off or hid his emotions, and even became more assertive in terms of will. If she had to give an answer, he might be somewhere in between, and the longer he was exposed to divine revelation, the more positive the changes became. In short, he could be considered to have gone from severe to mild.

……

Beyond the thick fog, following the directions in his memory, Ling Chuan ran for more than a hundred meters before stopping at the edge of a rocky, grassy area.

After searching through the grass for a few seconds, a very ordinary little white flower came into view.

I've got it, the gathering technique.

[Ding] Congratulations! You have obtained: [Mist-Dispelling Flower] *1
If the biggest gain was conquering this deliberately designed extremely dangerous area, then the most fortunate thing was bringing along the entire conquest team, because only in such group activities could Mu Lan, who would eventually disappear, be included.

Upon entering the inner perimeter of the swamp, Mu Lan immediately noticed that the surrounding environmental factors were too strong, unlike what one would expect from a place designed for players to overcome the outer obstacles and enter the heart of the swamp. Therefore, she deduced that there must be an item within the area that could neutralize environmental influences. After searching, this white flower became the prime suspect.

Under the "exploration" characteristic of divine revelation, this flower was shown as "white flower" in the survey of the exploration spell. The perfunctory name was no different from that of an ordinary weed. If it were an ordinary person, probably 99% would choose to ignore it. But Mu Lan was different. He had an inexplicable obsession with herbs. As long as it was a flower or plant that he had not seen before, he would tentatively cast a gathering spell to see if it was there. In his philosophy, sometimes plants are better at disguising themselves than animals.

As a result, he proved this idea right. He cast a gathering spell, obtained a white flower, and the real information was revealed.

【Mist-Dispelling Flower】(Level 4 Herb)
Introduction: Special regional medicinal herbs
Gathering: Requires Gathering skill level 4 and Alchemy skill level 4.

Requires Alchemy Level 4?

When everyone saw the additional conditions compared to their usual collection, their expressions were complex.

Fortunately, they had already endured all sorts of torment from the designer and had passed the stage of hurling insults. After locking onto the designer's figure and secretly casting mystical curses, they began to analyze the strategy points with an academic eye.

The entire white flower trap design is divided into two parts: a camouflage and a constraint.

The first disguise is a detection technique that can filter out 99% of "normal people".

The second restriction targets gathering skills, which can confuse and mislead "abnormal people" whose alchemy skill level is below 4.

Fortunately, Mu Lan's alchemy skills had already reached level 4, otherwise the gathering display would have shown a gathering failure message. This kind of message usually only appears on things that cannot be gathered. For example, if you want to get a wife for free, you use the gathering skill on a beautiful NPC. Don't ask why, the answer is that you yearn for beautiful things, but the price is huge.

In short, unconventional thinking, unconventional beliefs, and a bit of luck and coincidence can solve problems that others cannot. This experience and insight became a good habit for all members of the strategy team. No matter where they go or what they do, if they encounter something they haven't seen before, they first launch a double exploration. If that fails, they call in various powerful secondary professions to try again, until all possibilities are exhausted.

I won't go into the details of what happened next. If you get a herb whose effects are written directly in its name and still can't use it effectively, then you're just a complete idiot.

After reminiscing about the past and strengthening his resolve to recruit Mu Lan, Ling Chuan opened his secondary profession panel, clicked on alchemy, and threw the Misty Flower directly into the material bar to begin alchemy.

[Ding] System notification: Congratulations on successfully crafting a special area potion, [Fog Relief Potion] *1
[Ding] System notification: Congratulations on obtaining the recipe for [Fog Repellent Potion]. The lack of a name prompt, yet the acquisition of the recipe, indicates that this potion has its own unique features, and that obtaining its recipe involves overcoming three challenges: exploration, gathering, and refining.

Exploration techniques.

【Fog Repellent】(Level 4 Functional Potion)

Category: Enchanting Potions

Use: Apply to eyes to provide immunity against smog-related negative effects for up to 1 hour.

Enchantment count: 1/1
……

Without hesitation, he flicked the reagent stopper off with his finger, poured it out while lying on his back, and the system bell rang.

[Ding] System notification: [Fog Repellent Potion] enchanted successfully. You have gained [Smoke Immunity], which lasts for 1 hour.

I opened my eyes, and my vision was clear. All the foggy scenery around me had been forcibly removed, leaving everything crystal clear.

One-meter-long black and red magic bees flew back and forth thirty meters ahead, taking paths that appeared to be safe main passages.

Locking onto a red magic bee, Ling Chuan cast a detection spell.

【Bloodthirsty Red Bee】(Shining Silver Elite)

Rating: 30
Attack: 700-720
Defense: 550
Qi and blood: 4000
Skills: [Life Drain LV-1], [Blood Poison Injection], [Frenzied Strike]

Introduction: The most loyal gatekeeper of the Swamp Boss, Scythe, possesses extremely strong endurance. If you cannot quickly end the battle, your path will be full of thorns.

……

Bloodthirsty monsters, although their attack power is 30% lower than those of berserk monsters, are no less difficult to kill than the Frenzied Black Bees; it is no exaggeration to say that if this panel were given to Yi Han and his group, it would have a strong impact on them as well.

Is it really scary? Not really. Yi Han and the others were just so focused on the powerful offensive and defensive attributes that they subconsciously ignored another statistic: health.

Putting aside everything else, the level 19 Radiant Silver-rank quasi-boss, Tao, alone has 9000 HP, which is 11 levels higher than the Radiant Silver-rank elite. Even if it doesn't surpass Tao, it should at least have a similar HP. However, what about the Frenzied Black Bees with 3000 HP, the Bloodthirsty Red Bees with 4000 HP, and behind them is a swarm of mental-type wasps with as little as 2000 HP.

2000 points? What does that mean? Based on his current stats, he could take down a wasp with a maximum of three Soul Chaser attacks, and he wouldn't even need to move around during the kill.

Bug? Privilege? No, it's a natural dungeon set up by the designers for those who want to overcome layers of crises, successfully reach the "other shore," and crack multiple levels—an outdoor training ground.

That's right, the entire inner swamp is full of rewards!
Because it's a reward, the monsters that spawn here not only have low health, but also give 1.5 times more experience than monsters of the same attribute outside.

Since this is a reward, as long as your teammates are within the swamp area while in a team, the experience sharing will be applied across the entire map. (PS: Normally, if teammates are more than 50 meters away, they are considered to have left the team and will not receive experience sharing.)
You think this is the end of the rewards? Hey, this is just the beginning, even greater rewards are yet to come! The entire training ground is divided into five areas, each area will spawn 500 monsters of the same race from the three elements; each element of monsters is led by a Silver-level quasi-BOSS leader, level 33.

And, the final reward, which can only be seen on the first attempt after defeating all the monsters in this area, is a level 1 Radiant Silver BOSS.
