Chapter 78 New scene

Thousand Winds Temple, the second level of the secret realm.

People from the Adventurer's Association said that traces of the petrified ancient tree were found on the second floor.

Therefore, in order to avoid running around like headless flies in the entire large secret realm, Li Qiuzhi and his team went to the second floor as soon as possible.

"Hey, hey, hey, get out of the way!"

As soon as the three of them came to the second floor from the first floor, they were shocked by the scene before them.

This was not the location of the huge circular dome room where they had fallen before, but the newly discovered exit from the first floor to the second floor by the adventurers.

In front of me is an extra-large rectangular passage illuminated by the light from a burning small bonfire, and the walls are also made of bricks.

Adventure tents stand on both sides of the passage, with no end in sight.

Some adventurers even put out for sale some materials they obtained during their explorations of secret realms, making the place as lively as the streets of Mondstadt.

Seven or eight adventurers came down from the stairs leading to the second floor.

The leader was a guy with a crew cut, a square face and a large adventure backpack. He said something impatient, pushed away Bennett, who was standing on the left and slightly blocking their way, and then walked straight forward.

"Uh, sorry," Bennett said a little embarrassedly, touching his head.

The main reason was that Li Qiuzhi and the other two stood still, which caused Bennett on the far left to block the way for others.

"Humph, you rude fellow!"

Fischl said bluntly, with her hands on her hips.

The purple and black hem of her short dress swayed slightly, vaguely hiding her legs wrapped in asymmetrical black stockings underneath the skirt.

The cut on the slightly flesh-colored black pantyhose on her right leg caused by the gravel during the last adventure had disappeared.

It should be replaced with a new one.

Continuing to look from behind, the skin on Fischl's left thigh, which was wearing suspender stockings, was barely visible because of the hem of her skirt.

The snow-white and soft appearance of the thighs can only be imagined.

The group of adventurers in front had already walked away. Li Qiuzhi and his friends started strolling in this busy passage, looking curiously at the things they were selling.

There are one-star and two-star relics that are opened from treasure chests, but the three-star ones don’t seem to be for sale.

There are also some minerals such as crystal mines, slime condensate dropped by slimes, broken masks of hillbillies, sharp arrowheads, energy-guiding scrolls, etc.

There are also chaos devices, and some people even disassemble the various parts of the Ruins Guard and sell them.

These guys probably want to lure young new adventurers to spend money, after all, they can go back and tell other companions, "Look, this is the arm of the ruins guard!"

Haha, only people who care about their reputation would be fooled.

Apart from the chaos device, the other parts of the Ruins Guard are not of high technological content and their only use is probably to be re-refined into useful metals.

"Raw stones! The raw stones from the treasure chest. Does anyone want them? Sell them at a lower price!"

At this time, several people heard the sound of someone selling raw stones in front. Li Qiuzhi's eyes lit up slightly, and he quickened his steps and walked forward.

"Mr. Li Qiuzhi really likes these shiny things." The Night Crow Oz behind him sighed slightly.

Then he slowly followed with Fischl and Bennett.

There were indeed two shiny raw stones in front of the stall of the adventurer in forest-colored clothes. Although Li Qiuzhi was somewhat moved, he did not show it. He asked:
"how's the price?"

The adventurer in forest-colored clothes said, "Ninety-five thousand Moras for one, that's considered a bargain, right?" It is indeed a bargain compared to the normal price of one hundred thousand Moras, but it is not much cheaper at this price scale.

Li Qiuzhi also knew that raw stones would be easy to sell, so it would be great if they could be sold at a lower price.

So he didn't hesitate to bargain and bought it before anyone else came to buy it.

The two raw stones cost 190,000 Mora, and now he only has 80,000 Mora left, which is not enough to pay Eula's rent next month.

There is no need to rush for now, after all, there is still more than half a month.

Li Qiuzhi put the two rough stones into the adventure backpack. Bennett came over and said to Li Qiuzhi:
"I didn't expect you to like rough stones so much. Unfortunately, I have only encountered rough stones a limited number of times since I became an adventurer, and I haven't gained much. Otherwise, I could sell them to you."

"Then if you get a rough stone in the future, Bennett, you can keep it first. When I have Mora, I will buy it from you. How about that?"

Li Qiuzhi thought for a moment and said.

After all, this kind of thing is hard to come by, and even if you have Mora, you may not be able to buy it. If Bennett is willing to keep it for him, it will be a great help.

Although his unlucky physique may not allow him to obtain the raw stone smoothly.

"No problem at all!"

The raw stone is of little use to Bennett, so it doesn’t matter who he sells it to. Since his friend needs it, of course he will give it priority.

"This tiny glow is just an embellishment of the corridor in the backyard of this princess's palace. My servant, come and get it if you need it."

Fischl smiled, and her fair hand lifted up the long golden hair on the right side of her head. Then she gently pushed the hair apart, causing it to fall down and finally cover her snow-white, soft shoulders.

Are you asking me to go to Youye Pure Land to get it? Li Qiuzhi thought a little helplessly.

There was no wind in the secret realm, and it felt a bit stuffy after staying in this crowded passage for a long time. Li Qiuzhi suddenly saw a person running back excitedly in front of him.

Then he shouted:

"Big news! Big news! An adventure group discovered a petrified ancient tree in the eastern swamp area!!!"

As the voice came, the temporarily bustling street seemed to pause, and the next second, everyone burst into huge cheers!
Immediately afterwards, every adventurer began to mobilize, packing up their weapons and various adventure props, and rushing out like marching ants.

"Great! I didn't expect to be so lucky. I found the treasure right after arriving in the secret realm!"

Bennett clenched his fists excitedly, and his eyes seemed to be emitting green light.

When Li Qiuzhi heard Bennett's words, he inexplicably had a bad feeling. After all, the words "lucky" didn't sound right when they came out of his mouth.

But since the petrified ancient tree has appeared, they certainly cannot miss it. If they don’t participate, they will not be able to share the spoils.

That’s right, petrified ancient trees are things that only appear in secret realms and are more deeply connected to the earth veins, and they generally attract more monsters.

Because the secret realm itself has a denser distribution of monsters than the wild, the petrified ancient trees have a wider range of attraction for monsters.

According to previous records of the Adventurer's Association, the number of monsters gathered around the petrified ancient tree is usually no less than twenty or thirty, or even more.

This is something that an ordinary adventure group cannot handle on their own.

The only way is to spread the news, and under the witness of the Adventurer's Association, everyone will clear the monsters together, and finally distribute the treasures obtained from the petrified ancient tree according to the contribution of the adventure group.

As for conquering the petrified ancient tree in the secret realm alone, one would probably need the strength to have made three or four breakthroughs to have a chance, and success is not certain.
