Can Lina be in a good mood at this time? She was too lazy to speak, raised her hand to push Meili away, and looked directly at Jia Zhengjin.
Mellie was not angry. Both she and Tatanir felt that "Captain Cohen" was a bit too much. How could anyone treat other girls like this?
But it is not convenient to say more. It seems that there is some agreement between the two. Otherwise, how could this noble girl be willing to obey the leader's order?
Out of curiosity, the two of them didn't ask any more questions.
Jia Zhengjin jumped off the Shadow Leopard's back as if nothing was wrong, glanced at Liena, and said to everyone: "Okay! Now that we have arrived at the Strange Rock Forest, let's seize the time to complete the mission! In order to complete the mission as soon as possible, our soldiers
Divide into two directions. Merry, Tatanir!"
The two people who were called came over immediately.
"You two go over there to pick rock-top mushrooms. After you finish, you will wait here." Jia Zhengjin ordered, "This is our gathering place! I will take her to explore the strange rock forest, and we will go our separate ways. See you soon!"
"There is a certain degree of danger in exploring the strange rock forest," Meili said. "How about we let her follow Tartaniel to pick rock cap mushrooms, and you and I will go explore the forest?"
Firstly, she was considering Liena's noble status, and if something happened, she might bring powerful enemies to the adventure group; secondly, she was somewhat selfish, hoping that she could accompany Captain Cohen.
But Jia Zhengjin refused without hesitation: "No! You and Tataniel pick rock cap mushrooms, and I will take her to explore. That's it! Now split up the troops."
"Oh..." Although she was a little reluctant, Meili could only nod helplessly.
Although she and Tartaniel are both deputy captains, they still have to obey the captain's orders!
The two female adventurers tied their horses nearby, took off their backpacks and picking tools, and moved towards the mountain rocks.
With the Shadow Leopard here, you won't be afraid of others stealing the war horse!
Those with low strength cannot defeat the Shadow Leopard, while those with strong strength disdain petty theft. Unless they encounter high-level thieves, the probability is low enough to be ignored in broad daylight. That profession is basically a night walker.
After Meili and Tataniel left, Jia Zhengjin turned to Lena: "Come on! Let's explore the depths of the forest. Get the animal skin paper and pen. With your background, you must be literate, and you can draw pictures, right?"
"Of course, who do you think I am?" Lena snorted coldly and took the prop.
"Do you need me to teach you how to record exploration content?"
"These things are the basis of the school's practical courses. Are you humiliating me? How dare you question me?" Lena wanted to get angry, but she remembered her purpose and tried to hold back.
Jia Zhengjin smiled and nodded: "That's good. It saves me the effort to teach you. Let's go!"
Lina snorted softly and followed Jia Zhengjin closely, and the two of them entered the forest one after another.
The strange rock forest is actually not very dangerous. The only challenging thing is probably the stone giant hiding deep in the forest.
This stone giant is hidden in the strange rock forest and is considered the only monster. So far, no one has discovered its hiding place and no one has encountered it.
Generally speaking, you will be fine if you casually explore the strange rock forest. As long as you don't go out of your way to provoke the stone giant, you can leave safely.
However, Jia Zhengjin came here deliberately to find the stone giant. With a virtual map, he could easily reach the stone giant's hiding place through the icons.
Therefore, the route was planned quickly. First, Lina was taken to explore the terrain of the strange rock forest normally, draw maps and record the divisions of regional animals, plants and other resources.
This kind of close-range exploration mission updates the data almost once a year. Some places remain unchanged all year round, while the environment in other places often changes due to various problems. Data updating is particularly important for the adventurer guild.
Lena must have been a top student in school. She was very conscientious in drawing maps and exploring regional resources, and her records were clear.
The two of them walked all the way to the depths of the forest and saw they reached the end.
Further ahead, there is a bare rock area, with no green plants in sight, only rocks on the ground.
"Okay!" Liena finished recording, rolled up the animal skin paper, "The mission is completed, you can evacuate!"
"Wait!" Jia Zhengjin pointed forward, "That rock area is very suspicious, I want to go and investigate. Although it is out of the forest, it is still classified as a strange rock forest area, and no part of it can be missed!
"
Liena took a look at the rocky area and wondered what kind of information could be found on a place like this? Just add a line on the map and everything would be fine.
But Jia Zhengjin was already striding forward, so she had no choice but to take out the animal skin paper and follow him again.
Jia Zhengjin clearly saw the location of the stone giant through the virtual map and ran straight towards it.
The large and small rocks in the area were uneven, steep and difficult to walk on. Most people would definitely not take the initiative to enter when they saw it, but he kept jumping inside and quickly entered the center of the rock area, landing exactly on the red dot representing the stone giant.
Liena stood outside the rock area, frowning and staring at Jia Zhengjin, while taking a pen to draw the situation in the rock area.
In her opinion, there is no need to waste energy drilling into a barren place.
The stone giant is a relatively neutral monster. If you don't provoke it, it will not attack.
Jia Zhengjin came to the stone giant and seemed to be exploring it. In fact, he directly stabbed the stone giant's body with an iron spear and used great force.
This behavior was obviously regarded as an attack, which immediately angered the sleeping stone giant.
"Boom!" The ground suddenly shook violently, and the rock began to tremble and rise.
"What's wrong?" Lena was startled and a little confused, "What happened?"
When she couldn't understand the situation, Jia Zhengjin turned around and jumped quickly, left the rock area in a few steps, and quickly appeared in front of her: "If there is a situation, record it quickly!"
"Record what?" Lena turned back blankly, stunned, and stayed where she was.
A huge humanoid monster appeared in the rock area, roaring angrily.
If you look carefully, you can see that the monster's waist is a strange round ball, which seems to contain magic and releases red energy, connecting a large number of rocks like meridians to form this huge monster in front of you.
Moreover, there seemed to be a pair of big eyes in the middle of the ball, which were looking in the direction of Jia Zhengjin and Lina.
When the target was locked, the stone giant moved forward. It was about fifteen or six meters tall and looked like a Transformer. It stepped directly over from inside and landed hard on Jia Zhengjin and Lina's position.
Liena's reaction was still very fast. She jumped to the side and turned around to see Jia Zhengjin avoiding it easily. She thought to herself: How come this hateful guy wasn't trampled to death?
Then I thought, no! He was trampled to death, what should I do with my necklace?
