Lin was just a rookie, with a new understanding of the world like a newborn, and had no way to join in their conversation. After the topic came to an end, he asked curiously, "Didn't they say that this Lost Forest has a background story? What is that background?"
The other men looked at each other, not knowing what was going on. Only Elvia, who had revealed the secret at the beginning, smiled adorably and began to tell the story with a little pride.
"I heard that a long time ago, there was an evil god in the Supreme World named Terris. His church was called the Church of Confusion. He gathered a group of gods and planned to kill other gods and the God King who represented the top of the divine power at that time, and make the entire Supreme World his own."
"Tyris succeeded. The God Realm was a sea of blood, and the God Clan was close to extinction. They also killed the God King and imprisoned the heir of the God King. I don't know why, but they imprisoned him instead of killing him. Then they established a new order with Tyris as the supreme leader, ruling over the nine thousand galaxies of the Supreme World."
"But this rule only lasted for more than 500 years. When the heir of the King of Gods came of age, he gained power that could almost change the world. He killed Teris and his accomplices, overthrew the rule, and was called the strongest god. A bard in the Church of Confusion, well, a guy who slandered the King of God, fled all the way here, but was eventually killed by that adult in this place. He was the last person from the Church of Confusion to die. From then on, the Church of Confusion came to an end, and the forest was named the Confusion Forest."
Although he was wary of Eluvia, a woman who might very well be a moon demon, his intuition told Rin that at least this story should be true. He had read the history of the continent, and the first event of the gods happened so long ago that the details were unclear, but it was similar to the history Eluvia told him.
Out of respect for the most powerful god, her name and position will not be written in any books. Instead, she will be referred to as "that adult" instead. The only thing we know, besides that she is very strong, is her gender.
That adult is a girl.
"Well, there is such a passage in the history of the continent, but I didn't read it carefully. What about the adult at the end?"
Finally being able to talk to Rin, Eluvia seemed very happy. After sitting a step further away from Rin, she was about to continue talking, but was interrupted by the green-haired man. He said impatiently with a stern face: "For that kind of thing, you can just read the history of the continent yourself."
Elvia secretly rolled her eyes, and a look of impatience flashed across her face, then she returned to her innocent and kind self: "It's okay, let's chat anyway, I like chatting... Later, that sir didn't establish a dynasty. When a new generation of gods emerged like mushrooms after rain, he left, and no one knows where he is now... Well, the first war of the gods was too long ago, who knows what happened at that time?"
Lin stroked his chin, thought for a while, and then ignored it: "Thank you for your teaching, then, I will go to rest first."
Nodding slightly at them, Rin pulled up Reimu who was still drinking tea, turned around and left, walking to his tent.
"I haven't heard enough of your story. If you want to leave, just go by yourself..."
"Isn't it to prevent you from being bewitched by the Moon Demon? And... you attacked me ten times last night and walked all day today. Aren't you afraid of sudden death? Go to bed early, your life is more important!"
He stretched out his hand to pat Reimu's shoulder, but the miko slapped his claw away without saying a word: "I have never seen such a shameless person! You knew I was going to attack you at night and you were still hiding, loser! What a sleep! I'm not even sleepy, okay."
Lin didn't care at all about Reimu's angry expression. He suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, grabbed Reimu's hand, took her phone, clicked a few times to open the game, entered his game account, and said, "Well, please help me level up. Don't do the main quest, you can do the side quests as you like. I have other game activities to do tonight. Thank you very much!"
While Reimu was in a confused state, wondering how could someone be so shameless, Rin returned her phone to her, patted her on the shoulder, and turned around and rolled back to her tent.
After a sleepless night, the group continued on their journey early the next morning.
This search lasted for a week. The group went deep into the forest but found no trace of the flying dragon.
However, searching for traces of monsters requires patience, and it is normal for a fixed team to take several months.
The leader of the team this time is Lin, and as a treasure hunter, his only talent is to wander around randomly.
There are many benefits to wandering around. Although he didn't find the White Flame Flying Dragon along the way, he did find other rare materials, which made Antonio very happy.
During this period, the one who gave Rin the most headache was Eluvia.
This moon demon, like a comic book-obsessed heroine, follows Rin closely, and from time to time wants to have some ambiguous accidents like falling into her arms or accidentally kissing her.
However, Rin's vigilance, coupled with his passive luck ability, seemed to determine that this was a dangerous act, and the opponent did not succeed once.
It was all this self-sacrifice that made the green-haired, blue-skinned guy, who had a crush on Elluvia and obviously had feelings for her, very dissatisfied. The Avatar was okay, but Green's weird tone made Lin very unhappy.
Of course, he had to compromise with Yue Yaoxu out of necessity.
According to the racial encyclopedia, the moon demons are the direct descendants of Aphrodite, the girl of sex and love. They have a high status in the entire power of the god of love and are very powerful.
Lin's current strength is only enough to play around in the low-level star waves. If he goes to the middle and high-level ones, he can only keep his tail between his legs and act like no one can mess with him. However, the Moon Demon is from the high-level galaxy.
To sum up... to put it bluntly, I can't beat them, but I'm also very curious whether it will be like what the artist drew in the book, and I can only be entangled in a team and pretend to be a pretty boy who knows nothing.
Lin put his arm around Reimu's shoulder calmly and moved a little further away from Elvia. He looked around and found that the leaves of the surrounding trees were a little lighter in color than where he had just left.
"Alas?"
The color difference was very, very subtle, and it seemed that only Rin noticed it. He touched his chin, looked towards the northwest, and confirmed that the colors of the flowers, plants, and leaves were indeed lighter. He nodded to himself, changed direction, and walked towards the northwest.
The further they walked, the more obvious the color difference became. This time, not only Rin noticed this anomaly, but others also noticed it.
“This color…”
Zhen frowned, jumped up on the spot, and fell to the ground a few seconds later: "That's not right, from above, it's all the same green no matter where you look."
Lin plucked off a leaf that had turned somewhat white, then threw it away. He expanded his perception and detected the unusual fluctuations in the air one by one.
"This is an unusual power... The aura spreads below, and has an erosive effect on the trees. At the same time, in order to protect itself from being discovered, it also creates illusions. This power is so strange, could it be... the power of a dragon? No..."
"It must be right!"
Antonio raised his fist happily: "This may be caused by the White Flame Flying Dragon. Haha, I am worthy of being a lucky level 5 treasure hunter. I have a feeling that the prey is nearby!"
"But it's an illusion... well, let's take a look."
Knowing that they might find the White Flame Flying Dragon's lair if they went further down, the others drew their weapons and became alert, following Lin and continuing forward.
Ps: I feel like I’m dying. I have to get injections, review, and take various exams. It’s just too much. Who made me lose all my saved manuscripts? I’m too busy already, o(╥﹏╥)o.
Chapter 12 The First Boss
Finally, all the surrounding trees turned white, as if they had albinism, or like tobacco leaves that had been burned but had not yet turned to ashes, so thin that they would be annihilated with the slightest touch.
After Lin stepped on the pale fallen leaves, she found that the leaves were just thinner than ordinary leaves, but not as fragile as they looked. This made her even more curious about this magical power.
At this time they had arrived at the center. Everything within a hundred meters was pale. In the center was a tree that had long been withered. The tree was not tall, only about three or four meters, but it was very thick. Even if more than a dozen people surrounded it in a circle, they might not be able to hug it.
Except for some branches that have not fallen off, the top of the tree is empty.
"Is that giant tree the lair of the White Flame Flying Dragon?"
Green pointed at the tree trunk, his face full of excitement.
Antonio raised the scepter and laughed, "Dragons all have a habit of collecting treasures. This time we can make some extra money. Now that the flying dragon hasn't come back yet, let's explore its nest first!"
After saying that, he leaped up from the ground and could easily jump onto the tree trunk just by relying on his physical fitness.
Following him, Green, Shin and Reimu also jumped up. Rin turned off his phone and was about to fly away when Eluvia suddenly grabbed him.
Lin felt a strange tingling sensation where she touched him, even through his clothes. He quickly took a step away, avoiding her claws, and asked with a frown, "What are you doing?"
Eluvia, like a girl from an innocent comic book, squeezed her legs together and twisted her body, with a pitiful look on her face as she said, "Um... I... I can't reach that high, can I..."
"No."
"Wow! How can you be so heartless? Please help me carry it up!"
This moon demon was so cunning, Xigua knew what evil ambitions she had. Lin looked her up and down, but still felt that... it was okay to show vigilance, but not obvious hostility.
So he nodded, and Eluvia cheered and was about to hug him. Rin quickly simulated the "qi" into the power of wind, dragged her up, and followed her up to the tree trunk.
"Wow! Rin-kun is amazing. I didn't expect that besides the ability of luck, he actually..."
“Just a little trick.”
After you, a moon demon, have magic equipment, can't you also use the priest's healing spells?
Of course, Rin didn't say this out loud, he just interrupted her.
The thick trunk is hollow in the middle, and it is hot and dry inside. The hot air blowing towards you is as hot as the crater of an active volcano.
White smoke rose upwards and disappeared before reaching the top. Red stones could be vaguely seen in the smoke, as well as a pile of gold, silver, white, purple, and blue stones of unknown origin.
Zhen raised the longbow, and the power of wind gathered at his fingertips, quickly revealing a green wind arrow. With a "whoosh", the arrow made a sharp sound of friction with the air, cutting through the white smoke and reaching the bottom.
The wind arrow directly blew away a pile of crystals, creating a small pit, which dissipated instantly. A whirlwind blew up all the white flames, rushed out of the tree stump, and rushed towards him. Reimu waved her hand lightly, and all the smoke dissipated, and the situation in the tree hole became clear at a glance.
A large amount of materials were scattered all over the ground and piled up into a small hill, instantly blinding everyone's eyes. Antonio and the other two showed ecstasy on their faces. Green wanted to jump down at that time, but was held back by Lin.
Antonio's joy froze on his face. He widened his eyes and pointed downwards: "That... that's the body of the flying dragon..."
"There are still many corpses, some human... some orcs."
The pit was filled with corpses, the most conspicuous of which were the dragon bones, which were only four meters long including the tail, and were indeed a small lizard dragon. The others were corpses left behind by various races, totaling about twenty or thirty.
All the bones, like the leaves in the surrounding forest, were pale as if covered with a layer of white powder. It was definitely not a normal color, and they emitted a faint white smoke.
In other words, the smoke that covered the place before was actually white smoke coming out of the bones, which gathered in the air because of the lack of air circulation.
Green saw that there was no life inside and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, it's okay. I didn't expect to be so lucky. We can just pick up the leak."
"No!" Lin raised his hand slightly, and a katana appeared in his hand, with the blue tassel shaking. "How could Feilong die? And..."
Green was already unhappy with Lin, so how could he listen to him? He turned around and jumped down. He hesitated for a moment, but when he saw the treasures all over the ground, he finally jumped down.
"Hey... young man, there's no other way. Let's go down together."
Antonio was experienced and cautious. When he saw his young teammates had already jumped down, he looked helpless and picked up his scepter and jumped down as well.
Seeing that Eluvia hadn't noticed her for the time being, Rin quietly released her "Qi" to sense the area below, and sure enough, she discovered something strange with a devouring power hidden underground, but there had been no unusual movements and the surroundings were normal.
"Let's go down first, lest they die down there... Elvia, you have long range abilities, but you don't have the ability to fight in close combat, so stay up there, and Reimu should stay too."
He exchanged a look with Hongbai, asking her to keep an eye on the moon demon. Also, in case there was really something underneath, keeping Reimu could serve as a guarantee.
Eluvia stared at Rin curiously, especially at the katana in his hand. Her eyes sparkled and she licked her lips seductively.
Then he accidentally bit his tongue and trembled in pain.
Green had already thrown himself onto the crystal pile, and was filled with excitement: "I'm rich, I'm rich!"
Zhen was still quite reserved, still searching for the most valuable treasures, while Antonio was looking for the crystals they needed around the corpse of the White Flame Flying Dragon.
"Aren't you surprised at all? The blood of the White Flame Flying Dragon is thin, and its ability is weak compared to other dragon species. How could it have so many treasures, and... die here for no reason? I sense that there is something wrong with this place."
Green snorted coldly: "After all, it is a flying dragon that has lived for a long time. What's wrong with having some savings? As for these corpses, emmmm, maybe a group of adventurers and the flying dragon died together?"
As he spoke, his eyes widened, and he grabbed a handful of blue magic crystals, his face full of greed, and his mouth twisted: "Haha, it seems that I don't need to be a ghost adventurer to do commissions in the future!"
Just as he was about to stuff the blue magic crystal into the storage space, Zhen grabbed his arm and frowned, "According to the rules, the team distribution is not all yours."
"Tsk, didn't Jingu Rin say there would be danger? I was planning to pretend first and then distribute it when I get out. You don't know me, our partner for three years?"
As he spoke, Green glanced at Lin, took out a stone that was half burned white and half with sparks, and threw it over: "This is the stone you want. Don't forget, you said before that you only wanted the stone, so, the rest..."
Antonio stood up and looked at Green angrily: "Green, Rin just said not to entrust Jin and Crystal, and it was Rin and the others who helped us get there so quickly. Don't make me kick you out!"
As a paladin, and a paladin with pure faith, Antonio follows the code, which is rigid but upright.
Lin didn't care about that little bit of money at all, but as a young master, when had he ever been targeted like this?
There was a hint of murderous intent in him, but because of Antonio, he could only let this green-haired guy go for the time being and then give him a severe lesson when he got out.
Green tilted his head and chuckled, "You are the boss and you have the final say. I was just joking... So, do you have the No. 2 White Flame Crystal?"
Antonio breathed a sigh of relief and shook his head: "The dragon bones are surrounded by ashes and other crystals. We haven't found them yet."
Zhen glanced at Green with sharp eyes and walked towards Antonio: "Let me help find it too."
Green raised his head and waved towards the cave entrance: "Eluvia, come down together! There are a lot of treasures down there!"
Eluvia was a little embarrassed. She pretended not to hear and said nothing. She had a smile on her face but thought "MMP" in her heart and might have cursed "Fuck Aqua" at the same time.
"Found it! Haha, with Rin here, my luck is off the charts!"
Antonio burst into cheers, carefully lifted up the purple metal that looked like a flower bud, and reached out to peel it open.
"and many more!"
Suddenly feeling something was wrong, Lin hurriedly spoke out to stop it, but it was too late. Antonio just touched it lightly, and a metal petal fell off, revealing the warm white crystal inside. It looked like a soft crystal, glowing white.
Soon after, the other petals also quickly fell off, revealing oval waxy crystals. The breath lurking underground was aroused and began to awaken, and a large amount of ashes was carried up by the airflow.
"Be careful."
Lin warned them, and Antonio and the other two also noticed something was wrong. They quickly grabbed the crystal and were about to jump.
Black gas emerged from under a pile of bones and crystals, spreading at a speed truly as fast as lightning, instantly enveloping the four people.
The air around them was extremely sticky and their bodies suddenly became heavy, causing the three people to be pulled down just after jumping half a meter.
"Mutation?!"
Reimu took out the Yin-Yang Jade and just took a step forward, but then she remembered that there was a moon demon beside her, gritted her teeth, and stopped: "Rin, are you okay?!"
"fine."
The black energy has the special ability to paralyze the body. Rin has used his energy to force it back from his body. The moment the sword was unsheathed, two sword beams dispelled the black energy that was entangled with the three people, but he did not want to retain his special "energy" to help them eliminate the black energy in their bodies.
"Eluvia, where's the purification spell?"
Lin shouted loudly, and Tianrandai finally reacted. He hurriedly took out the priest's book, and a ball of holy water fell from the sky, soaking Antonio from head to toe. The other two were not affected.
After Antonio regained his freedom, he quickly raised his scepter: "Holy Light! This enemy is worth fighting!"
The gem on the scepter shone, and the dazzling light instantly enveloped the entire world, leaving only white light, and the black air around it instantly dissipated. Even Green and Zhen felt that their originally heavy body, as if he were 50 years old with kidney deficiency, had improved a lot.
Four people chose to jump up at the same time. The terrain was too narrow and not suitable for fighting, so they had to be led to a wider area.
