Early the next morning, Zhang Lang came to the Adventurer's Guild.
This time, he did not go to the bulletin board, but went directly to the reception desk.
Murong Wei hasn't gone to work yet, but Nangong Li paid special attention to her last night, and every receptionist got to know this newly emerging adventurer.
"This is your new badge..." The girl in charge of the reception handed Zhang Lang an adventurer badge with a dragon head engraved on it.
With the achievement of single-handedly killing the Lord of the Fifth Floor, Zhang Lang undoubtedly received the rating of Mad Dragon. When he received the badge, the altar reminded him that he had completed the main mission and could leave this world at any time.
But Zhang Lang hasn't had enough yet.
"Here are the tasks that the guild has compiled for you. The tasks that you hope to complete in the near future have been divided for you according to location and difficulty..." The receptionist handed over a stack of task sheets and put them into categories. There was also a catalog description on it.
, the map of World Tree attached below, each area on each level is clearly marked.
"There are a total of twelve tasks here, involving two levels and four areas. President Nangong has explained that it is recommended that you give priority to the five tasks on the fourth level." The girl continued to introduce: "Most of the areas on the fourth level have already been completed.
It is now under the control of the guild. If these places are also conquered, it will be of great benefit to the subsequent development and exploration."
Zhang Lang nodded: "I understand. Tell President Nangong to prepare a task list for tomorrow."
"Tomorrow?" The receptionist was slightly startled: "According to the president's plan, these tasks can be completed within half a month..."
"It won't take that long..." Zhang Lang wrote down the task, leaving a sentence: "Hurry up, I'm in a hurry." Then he left the guild.
…………
On the fourth floor of the World Tree, an adventure group of seven people climbed carefully among the branches and leaves. Suddenly, one of them slipped and was held up by teammates behind him to prevent him from falling. However, the weapons of the two collided.
, made a crisp sound, breaking the silence.
"Be careful!" the leader yelled in a low voice: "The territory of giant leaf insects is nearby. If we provoke them, none of us will survive!"
"I know, boss..." the subordinate agreed sheepishly, and the captain snorted coldly: "It doesn't make people worry at all."
But before he could turn around, a leaf next to him suddenly split into two parts, turned into a big mouth and pounced forward, swallowing the captain in one gulp!
"It's giant leaf insects! Has their territory expanded?" Others were shocked when they saw this, and they showed off their weapons. But at the same time, more than a dozen leaves around them moved and turned into the terrifying insects.
They surrounded.
"So many?" The surrounded team immediately huddled together. Reflecting the sunlight, you could even see the captain flapping in the belly of the giant leaf insect, but his movements were getting slower and slower, and he was obviously beginning to suffocate.
"Are we... doomed..." The despair began to spread. At this moment, a figure fell from the sky, and with a swipe, the giant leaf insect that swallowed the captain was divided into two!
"Poof!" The captain covered in mucus fell out and lay on a branch like a small bridge, breathing heavily. As for the team members, they were all staring blankly at the figure falling from the sky.
This is a tall oriental man, and I don’t see any equipment on him. What kind of weapon did he use to cut open the giant leaf insect?
Before they could think about it carefully, the man moved again, like a sharp blade, sweeping through the surrounding insect swarms in incredible zigzag lines. Wherever he passed, the giant leaf insects broke into two halves.
Such a big movement disturbed more giant leaf insects. In an instant, the leaves within a radius of nearly a kilometer started to move, and the figure was not vague, rushing towards the place where the insect monsters were the densest, passing by.
Everywhere, giant leaf insects turned into residual leaves and floated down the world's tree canopy, like fallen leaves in late autumn.
"Who is that...?" The captain who had just gotten up stared blankly at the strange massacre.
"I don't know..." The team member who helped him up murmured, "But he must be a hero!"
…………
"Clean up the territory of giant leaf insects... red mission, completed!" Zhang Lang ticked the task directory: "Now, the five tasks on the fourth level are over..."
He looked up at the sky. It was just noon and it was still very early, so he simply jumped up and climbed to the fifth floor.
This was the second time he came to the fifth floor, but yesterday he was only looking for the floor leader and didn't pay much attention to other monsters.
Looking at the sparkling, seemingly calm lake, Zhang Lang opened the to-do list.
"This level has basically not been developed yet. There are seven tasks...all under water." At this point, he pulled out an arrow, then rolled up the task list, stuffed it into the ammunition bag, fastened it, and then
The arrow was inserted into the tree trunk and the ammunition bag was tied to it.
After making these preparations, he jumped into the lake.
Soon afterwards, the lake began to churn...
"Hmm?" An adventurer exploring on the fourth floor raised his head: "Is it raining?"
"What are you looking at?" His teammates behind him urged him to move forward.
"It seemed like it was raining just now..."
The teammates looked at the sky: "Where can the rain come from with such a strong sun?"
"But I really..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw a piece of crystal clear falling from the sky, drenching several people like drowned rats...
"Pah! What's going on!"
"It's not raining, someone is clearly pouring water from the sky!"
"Look, it's here again!"
Someone's sharp eyes noticed that more water was falling, and several people escaped in time and survived.
Everyone looked up and saw the edge of the fifth floor.
The World Tree is approximately conical in shape as a whole, and the crown of the fifth layer is smaller than that of the fourth layer. The place where they are located corresponds to the lakeside of the World Tree Lake.
"Do you think the lake is at high tide? Is it overflowing?"
"The tide is still rising? What do you think of the sea? There is only so much water in the lake, and the spiritual energy around the World Tree protects it, and there are no strong winds and heavy rains. How can the tide rise?"
"Then what if something makes trouble in the lake?"
"What... can make waves in the World Tree Lake? Not even the floor leader..."
While guessing, another piece of lake water spilled down.
…………
In the evening, the lights came on in Shade City. Most of the adventurers who had been busy all day came back to eat and rest. Those who wanted to work the night shift were also actively making preparations. The adventurer hall was full of people.
At this moment, a huge electric spark suddenly sounded outside, and at the same time, the electric light outside the window flashed, as if there was thunder.
"What's going on?" The people in the house looked out curiously, and two people ran in from the door and shouted: "It's not good, there are several big bugs jumping down from the World Tree, and they hit the protective shield with a crackling sound.
How scary!”
After hearing this, everyone rushed out to take a look, and happened to see a huge Pipi shrimp falling from a high altitude, hitting the protective shield, sparking dazzling sparks, and then rolling down the hemispherical shield, sparking and lightning all the way.
"What's happening here?"
Everyone was talking about it, but Nangong Li was the only one standing in front of the window of the office on the second floor, watching this scene with a solemn expression.
The monsters that just came down were all tasks she assigned to the hunter... He originally thought that these tasks would take at least ten days to complete, but he didn't expect...
"It seems that I really found a treasure this time!" Nangong Li murmured: "I just don't know who is more powerful compared with him..."
