Tang Yingying suggested that it would be too slow for two people to search together. Tang Feng agreed and asked her to go directly to the town under the World Tree. He went into the corrupted forest alone to see if there was anything special.
Tang Yingying was very happy with Tang Feng's decision. It just so happened that she didn't want to go into a place that looked very dangerous and might turn her into the ghostly appearance of an elf zombie.
Tang Feng entered the forest alone and saw that the external situation was not bad. The situation inside was already very serious. It made people intuitively feel that there was a generator of destructive breath that was constantly emitting that terrible destructive breath, quickly eroding the forest.
, until one day it swallowed up the World Tree, just like the Ancient Tree of Life he had seen.
I took out the Wild Wolf Sword and explored the depths of the forest. I saw that he was already level 18. He still had two levels left to replace his hunting knife to increase his damage to another level.
However, he doesn't care much about the damage the weapon provides him. He cares more about the strength and agility attributes that the hunting knife provides him. Agility limits the growth of his footwork, and strength limits his mastery of throwing concealed weapons. This obviously has
The feeling of not being able to exert force is not an ordinary discomfort.
Gradually, he found that he had entered the woods a little deeper, and the light seemed to be swallowed up by the gray and black haze here. When he raised his head, he could not see the sky or the sun. Only a thick mist composed entirely of dust particles shrouded his nose, which made his nose feel very uncomfortable.
It's comfortable and has a biting feeling.
"Fortunately, Yingzi didn't come."
Tang Feng was glad that he was responsible for exploring this place. If it were Tang Yingying, I guarantee that he would not go further forward just after stepping into this fog.
He also suddenly felt something staring at him in the fog, which made him uncontrollably alert.
His ears twitched, he turned around and slashed with his knife.
"So fast!"
Tang Feng knew that he had made an empty cut. But he immediately locked the position of the thing and cut it crosswise again. He felt the blade of the knife touch a ball of cotton, and he also saw what this thing was.
[Fog Monster (Level 12)] With a health value of 437600, this can be regarded as the first monster Tang Feng encountered here.
When you see this thing, it is just a floating mist, but it is a little thicker than the white mist surrounding it. There are two claw-like things in front of its body. It should be using these claws to attack the target it is hunting.
I was relieved to see that it was only level 12. I easily solved it and saw it drop a piece of white powdery material.
Just about to pick it up...
"Woo...Woo..."
A creepy cry came from the white mist. The sound was very small, but in this extremely quiet environment, the sound seemed to have penetrating power and could penetrate people's eardrums, making people feel chills.
"who!"
Tang Feng was alert and didn't see anyone.
Listening carefully, I found that the cry was still the sobbing of a girl, intermittent, sad and a little pitiful.
Intuitively, he felt that this cry should be the source of the midnight cry that he needed to find in his mission, so he contacted Tang Yingying and said: "I found the source." He immediately set off and rushed to the place where the cry came from.
Because this was a forest filled with heavy fog with visibility no more than seven meters. The sound was ethereal and seemed to come from all directions, but Tang Feng still keenly captured the direction in which it really came from, and tried his best to rush over before the sound disappeared.
He suddenly heard it because he entered the woods and didn't hear anyone crying for a long time.
The deeper the forest went, the worse the decay became. I rushed to the place where the sound came from. But I unexpectedly saw the entrance of a cave. If I listened carefully, I could hear the sound coming from inside.
"From inside the cave?"
He saw that the shape of this cave was very special, it was a natural trumpet. No wonder he could hear the cry even from such a long distance.
It felt like it had been some time before Tang Yingying came over, so she carefully entered the cave, which was about half a person tall. After entering, the crying sound became clearer.
"Who's there?"
The effect of the spider's eye allowed him to barely see in the dark, but it was too dark inside. Tang Feng could barely see clearly except for things within five meters of himself, and he couldn't see anything inside, and he didn't know how deep the cave was.
, how far is the crying girl from the cave entrance?
Just muster up the courage to go inside.
After entering, it felt even more like a trumpet. The further inside, the shorter the space became. Slowly, Tang Feng had to lower his head to move forward to avoid colliding with the rocks on the roof of the cave.
"Where are you?"
This cry completely became Tang Feng's cue to guide the way forward. If she stopped suddenly, he really wouldn't know whether he was moving forward or retreating toward the entrance of the cave.
But suddenly a little girl sitting on the ground hugging her knees appeared in the field of vision. It was strange that she must have heard his call but did not respond. She just buried her face between her legs and cried. The long ears revealing her silver hair showed
She revealed her identity as a moon elf. She was wearing a very simple white dress, her feet were on the ground without shoes, and two slender white calves were exposed from under the white skirt.
"Who are you?"
"I don't remember." The elf girl in white answered with sobs and said to herself: "I was already here when I woke up. I remember a very scary cell with many children like me in it.
Sometimes people wearing black robes would forcefully take them out, and then they would never come back. I was so scared, really scared. I was afraid that one day they would take me away. But I was still taken away. They took me away
We arrived at a large room. There was a fire pit there, and the fire inside was purple. I also saw the man’s face. He...he...who is he? Why do I think he is so familiar!"
Tang Feng saw the little girl suddenly holding her head in pain and struggling on the ground. Just as he was about to go over to help, the little girl suddenly stopped struggling and lay on the ground and said, "Can you please help me find my memory? I want to know who I am."
who."
"Okay." Tang Feng triggered the task.
The elf girl said: "I remember that I walked through a very long passage, the walls separated by themselves, and there was a very good smell in the air. I believe that if you find this place, you will know who I am."
Tang Feng was prompted to get the task and saw Tang Yingying standing behind him and just coming over.
***“The situation seems to be getting more and more serious.”
When Tang Yingying saw the content of the mission they had just obtained, she was basically certain that the corruption on the World Tree would be so serious and that it was a conspiracy planned by someone.
When she arrived, she wanted to try to talk to the little girl. She saw that she seemed to have finished the task. No matter how she talked to her, she just kept crying. She wanted to shake her shoulders and tell her to be strong and stop crying.
"It's probably worse than you think."
Tang Feng felt that at least he was sure that the mission he took on was getting more and more troublesome. It was originally just a simple matter of asking the Elf Elder to save the tree, but now it suddenly involves the crisis of the World Tree and the elves living on it. It depends on the situation.
They thought it was not enough to just ignore it.
A task has been expanded into three branch tasks, and now one of the branch tasks has a follow-up that is very troublesome at a glance.
Open the taskbar to see the task they just received.
[Pale Memory] 5-star difficulty mission content: The amnesia girl has lost her important memory. She cannot remember who she is and why she appeared in that cave. The only thing she remembers is fragmentary memories and deeply frightening nightmares.
.She asks you to help her retrieve her memory and get rid of her confusion and nightmare.
Mission reward: 25,000 experience points, random rewards. Tang Feng did the math. They just completed the few tasks at hand and have already obtained 2 levels and nearly one level of experience rewards. They also have a feeling that if they continue to do this, they will gain more experience points.
Many. It is not a problem to upgrade this series of tasks to 4 or 5 levels.
However, the greater the benefits, the greater the risks, which can prove the difficulty of this whole thing.
"Now at least we have three clear clues. We can also know that the mission of crying can be completed soon."
Tang Feng didn't think of things as well as Tang Yingying did. He said, "Do you know where there are deep and long passages, walls that automatically separate, and places with good smells?"
He was just looking for this girl, it wasn't because he happened to think of the news, and he wouldn't find the mission NPC in such a remote place. But the clues given now are even more vague. The only thing that is certain is that this place must be on top of the World Tree.
He couldn't understand how Tang Yingying could be so sure.
"I don't quite understand the long passage and the automatically dividing wall. But I probably know where the place with the good smell is."
Tang Yingying said confidently.
Tang Feng looked at her and remembered that this place was her territory. She must be much more familiar with World Tree than he was.
***Back at World Tree, Tang Yingying immediately took Tang Feng to a place.
Tang Feng saw Tang Yingying taking him to a garden. This garden was built on the World Tree. It was filled with all kinds of beautiful flowers. All kinds of flowers were in bloom, and bursts of floral fragrance came to his nostrils.
"Doesn't it smell good?"
Tang Yingying said proudly. As soon as she saw the three prompts in the mission, she immediately thought of this place.
Tang Feng looked at her and asked her helplessly: "Then where are the walls and passages?"
"this……"
Tang Yingying was only thinking about the fragrance and forgot about the other two conditions. Apparently what the amnesiac girl said was that three conditions must be met at the same time.
The wall that automatically separates is hard to find, but the passage should be easy to see.
"But speaking of flowers..."
Tang Feng suddenly thought that the only thing that could make an elf smell good in the World Tree was flowers. But there must be flowers and passages. Obviously this place is a building. He couldn't help but look in the direction of the Elf Palace where the Elf Queen was.
, which feels like the place most likely to meet these conditions.
