The new teams all began to take action on their own.
But Su Ran was not in a hurry to start killing monsters.
He just took Aurora and wandered around the outskirts of the forest.
"What does this guy want to do?"
"Does he want to harm the ignorant girl and drag others to fail along with him?"
"Don't push me too hard, hurry up, our team's progress is still slow."
"..."
The freshmen team passing by the two couldn't help but whisper.
"That...that...don't we really hurry up and find the wild monsters?"
Aurora said with some worry.
And he found that following Su Ran's footsteps, the two people seemed to be walking deeper into the forest.
The other freshmen around them were even more confused when they arrived. They even began to wonder if these two people had lost their minds and dared to walk deep into the forest alone.
Even a full team doesn't dare to try this behavior. After all, the environment around this forest does look quite dark and gloomy, and they really don't dare to wander around easily.
"Looking for it, of course we have to look for it." Su Ran said, "Aren't we looking for it now?"
"But...but everyone is on the outside..."
"The only wild monsters on the outside are goblins and cat demons. With so many teams crowded in there to grab the same resources, the efficiency will definitely be very low."
Su Ran explained calmly,
"In addition, goblins don't like to live in groups, and the cat demon's mobility is too high. It will be even more difficult to compete for the spiritual core."
"Then...then we?"
"So we look for the Ironbill."
That's right.
Su Ran was wandering in the forest before, roughly observing the environment in this forest domain.
After comparing the previous situation in Gullah Forest, he quickly came to a conclusion.
That is, in this artificial forest, even the distribution of spiritual beasts is simulated very realistically.
Except for the absence of some high-level lord-level spiritual beasts in the real spiritual realm, the distribution of mobs is almost exactly the same.
At the outermost edge are the cat monsters and goblins, and deeper inside are the iron-beaked birds.
If you're lucky, you might even encounter a Minotaur.
The iron-beaked bird is the most suitable wild monster for brushing materials.
Because they are aggressive and will actively attack humans, this saves the trouble of actively looking for them.
The most important thing is that Iron Beak Bird also has a fighting philosophy of "why fight alone when you can fight in groups". Once it finds that it is no match for its opponent, it will immediately call a large group of aunts, six women, seven uncles and eight masters to come to the rescue.
Su Ran also suffered a lot from this.
When he reached an area, Su Ran suddenly stood still.
Even Aurora was a little at a loss for a while, stopped and huddled next to Su Ran.
This area is already relatively deep, and the surrounding environment looks even more gloomy.
Aurora unconsciously tightened the hem of Su Ran's clothes.
Because she heard the sound of a bird singing.
Very harsh, very sharp.
It sounds like a pretty aggressive sound!
"Uh... ah..." Su Ran heard Aurora behind her make a low moan that seemed to be caused by fear.
It sounds kind of cute...
"Can you please let go of my clothes first..." Su Ran smiled helplessly.
"Ah...yes, I'm sorry!" Aurora turned pale with fright and quickly let go of her hand.
Su Ran felt helpless and funny.
I didn't expect this girl to be so scared, and no one else.
After Aurora let go of her hand, Su Ran's actions suddenly became much more liberating.
At this time, a flock of iron-beaked birds in the sky had discovered the location of the two men and began a swift swooping attack.
"babble--"
Aurora was so frightened that she fell to the ground and even forgot to pull out her arc sword.
But Su Ran had no fear of this at all.
With his previous experience, he already knew the habits and attack methods of creatures like the iron-beaked bird, and dealing with it was as easy as playing with sand.
So he naturally made the most perfect reply easily.
He first used parry to absorb the iron-beaked bird's most ferocious diving attack, and then when the latter was about to fly back into the sky, he turned around and executed an exquisite evil light slash, killing it in mid-air.
The operation is skillful and smooth.
One after another, the corpses of the iron-beaked birds fell from the sky, and then dissipated into spiritual energy, leaving a small spiritual core in place.
Aurora, who was sitting paralyzed on the ground with her legs folded inward, opened her small mouth in disbelief and stared straight into her eyes when she saw this scene.
These ferocious-looking iron-beaked birds...are no match for Su Ran!
Within a few minutes, the ground was covered with the iron-beaked bird's spiritual core.
"Don't just sit there in a daze!" Su Ran smiled helplessly, "Let's collect all the spirit cores quickly and give them to the teacher for the grade assessment results later!"
"……Oooo!"
Aurora suddenly came to her senses, and she and Su Ran quickly lowered their heads to pick up the spirit core.
After that, Su Ran found a few more plots of land and collected the iron-beaked bird's spiritual core several times in the same manner.
Anyway, Lu Wenqiu's assessment criterion is only the number of spiritual cores, and does not look at the type, so it doesn't matter even if the type is relatively single.
Aurora was stunned when she looked at the full amount of spiritual cores in her spiritual ring.
With so many spiritual cores, she and Su Ran are definitely the group with the largest number of spiritual cores.
Not only did they not come in last place, they actually came in first place!
Moreover, she did nothing at all from the beginning to the end. She was just responsible for picking up trophies. Su Ran took care of all the things like killing monsters and buying goods...
This made Aurora couldn't help but look at Su Ran with admiration and admiration.
"Let's go, it's time to go back." Su Ran took out her phone and took a look, "It's been almost an hour."
"Mmm Good!"
Aurora nodded repeatedly.
Su Ran felt that she seemed to have become more and more accustomed to her role as a tool in the team...
Just as the two were preparing to return the same way.
A scream suddenly sounded deeper in the forest.
It was the shout of another team.
And their voices were full of fear, it sounded like they had suddenly bumped into something terrible.
And the shouting became more and more loud, even mixed with the crisp sound of the sword being unsheathed.
"What...what's going on?"
Aurora's heart rose to her throat again.
"I don't know, but something must have happened."
Su Ran's face darkened.
Could it be that we really encountered a Minotaur?
"Stay here, don't move around." Su Ran reminded in a low voice, "I'll go over there and have a look, and I'll come back to you soon."
"ah……?"
Aurora was stunned for a moment, but before she could respond, she saw that Su Ran had already walked away.
But she felt that she shouldn't leave her teammates behind in this situation, and it might not be safe to stay here alone, so she immediately trotted to follow them.
