People in Xumi: I am really not the Dragon King

Chapter 15 Dead Zone
Two days have passed since Tinari left to visit his friends. Lin Feng, who had nothing to do, basically killed all the monster camps in the nearby rainforest without leaving a single one alive.

The enhancement progress of his agility attribute has also reached level 4. Lin Feng feels that his ability to control his body is quite exaggerated now. Not to mention such a small problem as walking on a single-plank bridge, if he goes back to his previous life and directly interviews for an acrobat job, he will probably be the best among all the others.

Naturally, the most intuitive change is the improvement in response speed, which is as smooth as switching from 2G network to 5G network.

Staring at the pile of combat entries on his body, Lin Feng felt that his combat ability would be quite exaggerated if a real fight broke out. As for Xiaobai, Lin Feng felt that with his steady personality, he could just let it be a mascot with little presence, just eating and sleeping every day - at least that's what Lin Feng thought.

Lin Feng breathed a sigh of relief when he found that his level had not risen any further. He knew that this was because the Little Grass God was unable to pull him into the dream and chose to give up temporarily.

——After all, Nashida’s real body is still in the Jingshan Palace, and she has no one available except some Lanaros who will not approach human gathering places.

The more Lin Feng thought about it, the more he felt sorry for the Little Grass God. He decided to meet her before leaving Xumi to see if he could do anything for her. After all, his level had jumped from 19 to 36, and it was the Little Grass God and her statue that played an important role.

As usual, after breakfast, Lin Feng chose to enter the rainforest to complete his daily patrol.

"Come on, is there anyone who can help me?"

Unexpectedly, not long after entering the rainforest, Lin Feng heard a cry for help.

Helping pedestrians in distress is also one of the jobs of a forest ranger. Lin Feng quickly rushed towards the direction where the sound came from.

"I'm the forest ranger Lin Feng here. Uncle, please calm down a little. What happened?"

Lin Feng revealed his identity at the first moment and saw the source of the cry for help - a middle-aged Liyue merchant with black hair and wearing a long robe.

"Hey, little brother, help me!"

"My daughter, my daughter was captured by a monster—"

The bewildered businessman kept repeating these words.

"Please calm down!" Lin Feng released some elemental power, a grass element with a hint of dreamlike characteristics, which successfully restored some rationality to the panicked merchant.

"Which direction? What are the characteristics? What monster took him away?"

Lin Feng knew that now was not the time to reminisce about the past, so he asked the middle-aged businessman, who had calmed down a little, for some key information in the briefest way possible.

"It's just up this road!"

The middle-aged man understood the urgency of the situation and quickly explained the details.

"About half an hour ago, the two of us were driving a carriage through a dark forest, and suddenly a group of mechanical monsters with black gas coming out of their bodies rushed out. The pack horses under us got scared and ran away in different directions!"

"My daughter is from Liyue, and she is about the same age as you, little brother. Please bring her out!"

"I, I can give you all the caravan's property. Please save Xiaolu!"

"I, I, I kneel down before you!"

The middle-aged businessman was about to kneel down after saying this, but Lin Feng reached out and grabbed the uncle's arm to stop him.

"No need to kneel. We can talk about the reward later. I am also from Liyue. Uncle, if you do this, I will shorten my life. I will do my best to bring your daughter out. Please don't wander around. I will take you to do some relevant records later."

After hearing the situation clearly, Lin Feng also felt it was a bit tricky. He told the uncle not to run around and to rush into the rainforest as quickly as possible.

From the middle-aged businessman’s description, they may have encountered the “dead zone” in the rainforest, although it seemed that they were just passing through the edge of the area - otherwise the uncle would not have been able to escape.

But his daughter most likely followed the frightened packhorse and ran into the depths of the dead zone.

During the time that Lin Feng was studying with Tinari, he also had some updates on his understanding of the dead zone. First of all, the dead zone phenomenon in reality is not very common at present, and generally does not appear in the edge areas of the rainforest.

Secondly, the Dead Zone is extremely dangerous for ordinary people. Even if you ignore the projected monsters in it, ordinary people will continue to lose vitality if they stay in it, and their lives will be in danger if they stay in it for more than half an hour. Only those who possess the Eye of God can resist for a longer period of time.

To clear the dead zone, you need to use grass elemental power to attack the branches of the dead zone. After destroying all the projected monsters, you can eliminate the exposed core of the dead zone - the dead zone tumor.

Recalling the information about the Dead Zone in his mind, Lin Feng estimated the time it would take for the merchant's daughter to enter the Dead Zone. Half an hour later, Lin Feng, feeling a sinking feeling in his heart, quickened his pace.

——I hope the monsters in the dead zone are not too outrageous, Lin Feng prayed silently in his heart.

Because the strongest monsters in the dead zone are often projections of the earth veins, if it is a creature with low strength such as mushroom beasts, then the dead zone will not be difficult to clear. But if you are unlucky, you may encounter extremely high-level dangerous monsters such as Ruin Dragon Beasts and Hill Kings.

Lin Feng, who was hurrying on his way, noticed that the light around him gradually dimmed. The sky and the forest were filled with an ominous purple-red light. The chirping of insects and birds that had originally surrounded his ears disappeared, and the whole forest was filled with a deathly silence.

The dead zone has arrived!

Lin Feng's heart shuddered, feeling the ominous force around him eroding him, and a deep-seated disgust surged in his mind - this was a force that was opposed to all life.

As soon as he entered the dead zone, Lin Feng felt a sense of crisis. He jumped to the side and back nimbly to avoid the incoming laser beam. Lin Feng turned around and looked at the attacking enemy.

——Three centipede-like mechanical structures, with triangular heads flashing with light, were obviously accumulating their next attack.

"Tangle!" "Spikes!"

Lin Feng did not hold back, and started with a full-strength attack of entanglement and ground spikes.

After training, the vines became as thick as an adult's waist. Once born, they coiled around the centipede-like structure from all directions. Dense but solid wooden thorns emerged from the ground and stabbed the bound relic mecha.

"Um?!"

Lin Feng was a little bit unbelievable. Although the relic mecha that was bound by vines was damaged after taking the attack of the wooden thorns, it was still able to move.

The relic robot destroyed the surrounding vines with lasers, rotated its long body, dug into the soil like a drill, and disappeared into the ground.

!

Lin Feng, who had experienced it enough times in the game, quickly jumped away from where he was.

The next moment, three relic mechas emerged from where Lin Feng had originally stood, and released indiscriminate laser attacks to the surroundings. The brilliant light illuminated the dim environment like a small sun, and the extremely high temperature even made the surrounding air produce a burnt smell.

"good chance!"

Lin Feng, who was familiar with the mechanism of this thing, did not rush to dodge the terrifying attack. Instead, he condensed a sharp arrow with pure grass elements and stabbed it from a distance at the exposed core of the three relic soldiers.

"Stab it."

Suddenly, a sound as if of poor contact came from the relic mechas. The three relic constructs were wrapped in orange-yellow electric arcs, and they were obviously in a state of temporary paralysis.

Lin Feng took the opportunity to compress the grass elements in the surrounding environment, and a grass element bomb with maximum output power was thrown towards the center of the three constructs.

"boom!"

——The three constructs trembled, turned into black ashes and disappeared into the air.
