The journey to the center of the swamp is not difficult, nor is it easy.Yunnai drove the merchant forward all the way, but from time to time, broken tree trunks would float up in the swamp, or swamp animals like crocodiles and salamanders would jump out to hinder her progress.

These things should be the second obstacle besides the poisonous swamp.But this is completely trivial for the LV50 Stone Killer.She skillfully shook the oar made of branches, and occasionally applied the prostate brake. Not only did she move forward smoothly, but she also caught many marsh animals and stuffed them into her backpack.

All the way to the central island, Yunnai jumped off the back of the merchant and landed on the land.When she turned around, she found that the merchant was floating on the surface of the swamp next to the land, looking a bit unscathed, and had no intention of running away.

Yun Nagi relaxed.She turned around and began to gather moonshine grass that grew on this small piece of land.There are a lot of moonshine grass on the ground, and even if a small piece of grass on the ground is harvested, as long as you go to another place to collect it, the originally bare ground will regenerate grass when you can't see it.So Yunnagi picked more and more vigorously.After all, 50 plants will be given to Zhu Shi in the end, and at least 99 plants will be reserved for herself... But just as she was bent down to collect moonlight grass, a gust of wind suddenly came from behind her.

System prompt: [Drawing Tree (LV40) has challenged you]

Yunnai dodged nimbly, dodging the thing that was attacking from behind.She looked back and found a strange tree that was standing quietly in the center of the swamp, its branches were fluttering, and it was attacking her aggressively.

Pump people tree?What is this thing?Wasn't it true that Harry Potter's species accidentally came to the wrong place?

But Yunnai looked at the system prompt and found that this thing is indeed called the Whispering Tree, not the Whomping Willow.Although this strange tree has long branches, it doesn't look like a willow...

This should be the last obstacle to collecting moonshine grass. It is not difficult for a LV50 Yunnai to avoid a LV40 tree.But collecting Moonlight Grass while dodging seems to be an impossible task.At the same time, Yunnai found that the moonshine grass that hadn't been collected on the ground was blown to pieces by a few branches of the tree.Perhaps because it was not collected correctly, the rotten moonshine grass will not be refreshed again.

How can this work!Yun Nagi gritted her teeth, and simply stopped resisting, allowing the branches of the sapling tree to slap her body with a "swoosh", and quickly gathered the moonlight grass on the ground.

[System prompt: The Tree of Man (LV40) launched a normal attack on you, your HP -30]

Yunnai had to take out a grilled fish from the bag and put it in his mouth, frantically collecting moonshine grass.But seeing that Yunnai didn't resist, the tree seemed to be more energetic, and the branches were pulled down with a crackle, and Yunnai's blood gauge lost more than 200 points of blood in an instant.

However, at this moment, Yunnai saw that the moonshine grass in his backpack had finally reached the target amount, and with a "click", he bit the grilled fish bone in his mouth.

"Hmph, I can't spare you to teach you just to collect moonshine grass. Do you think you are the boss?" She smiled sinisterly, equipped with curry sticks, and walked towards the pumping tree.

All the branches of the pumping tree paused slightly, and then launched a more violent attack towards Yun Nagi.However, Yun Nai's eyes were fixed, and the sword in his hand drew a dark blue shadow.

"Water Breath, Four Shapes, Flowing Dance!"

"Water Breath · One Shape · Water Surface Slash!"

"Water Breathing Seven Shapes..."

Wherever the blade passed, the paper slips that drew people's trees were cut down by Yun Nai.After about 5 minutes, there was only a bare tree trunk in front of Yunnagi, which looked very pitiful.And Yunnai stood there holding the curry stick, and took out a pancake with the other hand to replenish blood.

After swallowing three times, five times and two times, the system prompts that Unnagi's HP has returned to full.She burped contentedly.

[Defeat the pumping tree (LV40), experience value 8100]

[Acquired items: Branches of the Drawing Tree x 1]

[Acquired items: money × 270000]

I got the branches of the people-pumping tree... I don't know what the use of this thing is.Yunnai picked up the branch on the ground and looked at the system's explanation.

[Twigs of the pumping tree: the branches that grow from the pumping tree in the center of the moonlight swamp.It can be planted on any flat surface and grows into a full-grown tree in half a minute. 】

Is it useful to grow this thing?Yun Nagi thought about it, and put the branch into the backpack.

The moonlight grass that was left unpicked has been twisted by the branches in the battle just now, and it is estimated that it will not be refreshed again in a short time.Yun Nai regretfully picked up the money and was about to leave, but from the corner of his eyes, he suddenly saw a dark hidden tree hole in the trunk after the branches of the tree were cut down.

[System prompt: You found a hole in the tree.There seems to be something in it.Want to find out? 】

Yunnai hurried to the trunk of the pumping tree, staring eagerly at the tree hole.The tree that has lost all its branches at this moment naturally has no ability to resist Yun Nagi.Squinting his eyes and squatting in front of the tree hole for a while, Yunnai finally found that there was indeed something in the tree hole.

Feeling that it was too dangerous to put her hand in, she took out a branch from her backpack and poked it into the tree hole. After fumbling and poking it several times, she picked out the thing in the hole.

It was a golden key.

The system popped up a prompt at the right time: [Get the key to the tower where the sage lives. 】

……what?

Yunnai was wondering if this was the tower mentioned by Zhushi before departure?However, at this moment, she suddenly noticed that the ground under her feet began to tremble slightly.At the same time the black swamp was bubbling like a boiling pan of oil.

Kamado Tanjiro and the others who were still staying on the bank of the swamp seemed to be yelling something worried at Yunnagi, but the sound was quickly swallowed up by the loud noise in the swamp.The vibration under his feet was more obvious, almost making him unable to stand still. The mud in the swamp slapped on the central land, and the splashed mud spots caused 1 HP damage to Unnagi from time to time.Yunnai had to drag up the merchant who was still floating in the swamp, holding the merchant as a shield with one hand to block the splashing mud, and with the other hand clinging tightly to the tree with only its trunk left, not letting go.

And following this shock, some giant broke out of the swamp and stood in front of several people.After the mud flowed down, the whole picture of the giant finally appeared in front of everyone—it was a five-story stone tower.

Under the moonlight, the huge shadow cast by the stone tower completely covered the small piece of land in the center of the swamp, and even the fragments of the moonlight grass that exuded a faint blue light were much dimmed in the shadow.

After a while, the commotion finally stopped.The merchant rubbed the muddy water on his body uncomfortably.But Yunnai straightened up and had to eat another rice ball.While eating, she put her palms in front of her eyebrows, looking at the tower floating out of nowhere in the swamp.

The system prompts: [Because it is sensed that the key has found its owner, the Tower of the Sage appears. 】

No wonder Zhu Shi said that this tower is hard to find.The target that needs to be found is not the tower itself at all, but the key needed to step into the tower.The tower will not reveal itself until the key is found.I'm afraid the people looking for the tower have misunderstood the train of thought.

But I always feel that the tower emerging from the mud of the swamp is not fairy at all...

Thinking of this, Yunnai raised his head and looked at the top of the tower until his cervical spine felt a little sore.It is said that there are all-knowing sages living on the tower, who can answer any questions. She thinks this is an important opportunity, maybe she can get extremely precious clues to clear the customs, and she can't miss it, so she jumped on the merchant again and headed towards the swamp bank. cross out.

Perhaps because of the appearance of the tower, the driftwood, crocodiles, salamanders, etc. that hindered Unnagi completely disappeared, and the return journey was smooth and calm.After reaching the bank of the swamp, Yunnai jumped off the merchant, and was immediately surrounded by Kamado Tanjiro and the others.

"Wow, that's scary, what happened to that tower!?"

"Is that huge thing a mountain god! Can you compete with him!"

"Not injured, are you? Have you picked all the moonlight grass?"

Yunnai had to stop the trio's chattering questions, and told what happened after he arrived at the central land.

"Do you still remember that Miss Zhushi said that the sage on the tower can answer all the questions? It just so happened that we found the key this time, so let's go up the tower together to find the sage and ask questions!"

Yunnai felt that the opportunity was not lost, and decided to go together, so that even if Zaomen Nezuko couldn't speak while biting the bamboo, they could ask the sage four questions in total.

After hearing her plan, Zuihei Inosuke immediately agreed, but my wife Zenitsu was a little hesitant.Instead, Kamado Tanjirou asked a serious question.

"Of course it would be best if we could. But how do we get over it?"

Yun Nagi thought that this is not easy?So he patted his chest to make sure: "Let's go by the merchant!"

Zamon Tanjirou was silent for a moment: "Actually, I just wanted to say, isn't it too much to step on the old man of the merchant?"

"Uh……"

"Uncle Hang Shang may not be willing." The young man said solemnly, and he went to help Hang Shang up with a worried face, "Fortunately, he is fine..."

[Kaomen Tanjiro Favorability -3]

Is it because you don't agree with her approach, so you lose your favor?But if we all have an accident, this profiteer will be fine!Yun Nagi was in a hurry, and ran to the other side of the merchant and said, "No, all of this is for the purpose of defeating Oni Wu Tsuji and saving mankind. Compared with the great goal, this small sacrifice is nothing, you say That’s right, Hong Merchant,” and at the same time secretly poked the Merchant’s arm.

"Ah... um..." Faced with Yunnai's moral kidnapping, the merchant could only nod pitifully, like a yellow cabbage in the ground.

"Eh, really?" Kamado Tanjiro was a little surprised.There was a moment of hesitation on his face, but he was finally persuaded by Yunnai, "Then since Uncle Xingshang thinks it's okay..."

—he actually agreed.

2 minute later.

"Come on, head towards the mountain god, the pig rushes forward!"

"Don't squeeze, you're almost squeezing me down!"

"Inosuke, you stepped on Uncle Hong Shang's head! Uncle Hong Shang, are you alright?"

"No, it's fine..."

"..."

The four of them stepped on the back of the little merchant, and they had to grab each other's clothes or hook each other's arms so as not to fall off the merchant. Their posture was like a few peas in a pod.Yunnai distributed two branches to everyone, intending to row to the pagoda like a dragon boat.But perhaps because of uneven strength, the merchant spun around on the swamp for a long time, and then reluctantly and crookedly approached the tower.

After stepping up the steps at the entrance of the stone pagoda, and giving out a rice ball and a grilled fish as a thank you gift to the merchants waiting outside, Yunnai led the three of them to the heavy entrance of the stone pagoda, and found that there was indeed a keyhole in the door. And the shape and size are the same as the key she got from the tree hole in the tree.

Pushing the key into the lock and turning it, Yunnai immediately heard the rumbling sound of the mechanism.The heavy gate of the stone pagoda slowly opened towards the two sides, and Yunnai could see the wide space inside the pagoda.

At the same time, after the door was opened, the key that was still inserted into the lockhole dissipated into a splinter of light spots.

[You used the key to open the gate of the Tower of the Sage.Lost key × 1]

It appears that the key is a one-time use.Yunnai was staring at the empty keyhole in a daze, when he suddenly heard a voice from inside the tower.

"Adventurers, congratulations on coming here." The voice was thick and powerful, and it sounded like what the old man said, "As long as you can reach the fifth floor, you can get any questions from the sage s answer."

Although the system determined that this was indeed the tower where the legendary sage lived, Unnagi still did not take it lightly.She stopped the friends who wanted to go in, took out five porcupine carcasses equal to the number of people from the bag, and rolled towards the door.

The porcupine carcass rolled to the center of the hall, both in terms of weight and size, meeting the requirements of "five people".Yunnai stared at the porcupine corpse, saw that there was no movement for a long time, and no mechanism was triggered, so she walked in cautiously.

Kamado Tanjiro and the others followed behind and filed in.But just as he was entering the door, Zuhira Inosuke suddenly stopped and turned his head abruptly.

"What's wrong, Inosuke?" Kamado Tanjiro asked curiously.

"Just now... I felt like something was watching us secretly." Zhu Tou looked out, "I grew up in the mountains, and I am very sensitive to sight, and my skin will feel a little hot when I see it. It can't be wrong!"

Yunnai remembered that there was a vision perception in Zuihei Inosuke's ultimate skill, and hurried to the door to look around with him.But after watching each person and pig for a long time, they didn't even see a figure, nor did they find the names marked by the system when the plot characters appeared.

"Could it be some small animal?" My wife Zenitsu couldn't help asking, standing behind the two of them, "What Inosuke could perceive in the mountains before was the sight of animals, right? It's no big deal to be watched by animals. "

Zuihei Inosuke hesitated: "Or, maybe it is..."

But even if Zhutou himself hesitated, the cautious Yunnagi would not take any chances.But it is not realistic to leave now.Now that it was confirmed that the tower was safe, she simply pulled Zuihei Inosuke back, and then closed the door heavily to block all sight from the outside.

After that, Yunnai led the team all the way to the end of the first floor, and at the same time did not forget to pick up the porcupine and stuff it into the backpack again.

Walking all the way forward, the area originally shrouded in dark shadows gradually became clear.After passing through a vast space, the group discovered that the end of the space turned out to be a dead end.

Just when the five people (including Kamado Nezuko in the box on Kamado Tanjiro's back) were facing the wall and thinking about life, the wall suddenly "clicked", revealing a flat stone slab with engraved characters.

A line of words was written on the slate: "Only by paying for knowledge can you get knowledge. If you want to continue climbing the tower, please solve the following problems."

It turns out that it is to answer the questions and pass the level. Only by answering the questions correctly can you get the opportunity to ask the sage?Yun Nai was taken aback for a moment, then calmed down.

This kind of intellectual question and answer is not difficult for her.Generally speaking, the answering questions in RPG are often simple questions such as "what creature has four legs in the morning, two legs at noon, and three legs in the evening".

Thinking of this, Yun Nai confidently chose to answer the question, and then the words on the slate changed rapidly, forming a new line of text.

"How do you determine the ground state of a quantum system when there is no exact solution?"

"..."

Yun Nagi read the title several times and was dumbfounded.

Is this a question type that would appear in a normal RPG?Is the person who made the question sick?This kind of question can't be answered without a scholar LV9!

Yun Nagi complained loudly in her heart, stood stupidly in front of the stone slab for a long time, and finally remembered to see the reactions of her friends.Unexpectedly, she looked left and right, and found that Kamado Tanjirou and the others were thinking seriously, and she didn't know whether it was real or fake...

However, after waiting for a long time, these people did not respond. When trying to talk to them, the system will still display [Teammate Tanjiro Kamado is thinking about the answer. It seems that he has not noticed you. We should try to talk to you after solving the problem. Let's talk to him] kind of prompts.So Yunnai was convinced that they were all thinking falsely, but they were not thinking about anything.Especially Zhutou, who doesn't even recognize all Chinese characters, why pretend to think about quantum mechanics problems...

It seems that the teammate is just a decoration, and she has to rely on herself to solve the problem...

After hesitating for a while, Yunnai tried to guess: "5?"

The slate was unresponsive.

"x squared?"

"0?"

"Root 2?"

No matter how I guessed, the slate did not respond, and the stairs did not appear.Yunnai tried to take out the curry stick to attack the stone slab, wanting to see if he could break through the slate slab and create a path like breaking Yushiro's Megakushi wall.But the system quickly popped up a prompt: [The stone slab cannot be attacked].

Standing helplessly in front of the stone slab for a while, Yunnai thought that he might really have to give up this time.However, at this moment, the system suddenly popped up a friendly reminder.

[Have you been stumped by the question of breaking through the level?The sage living on the tower has turned on the payment function, why not try the service of paying to skip this question!Note: This service is only available when the funds held exceed 50000000. 】

Can I still skip it?Although it felt that this was not a sage at all, Unnagi immediately chose to skip the function.

[The price of skipping the first level of questions: 200000 yuan/person, would you like to buy the service of skipping this question for yourself? Y/N】

Sure enough, it costs a lot of money to skip the topic.How could even the test of a sage be so realistic... Thinking of this, Yunnai sighed.

Although she felt that 20 yuan was quite expensive for one skip, but thinking of being able to ask any question to the all-knowing sage, she still chose to agree.

The money instantly decreased by 20, and at the same time, the system popped up a pass prompt.The sound of the mechanism turning came from the corner beside it, and soon, a stone staircase extended down.

Yunnai raised her leg and walked towards the stone steps, but after walking a few steps, she suddenly realized something was wrong.When she turned her head, she saw her friends staring at her eagerly.

"It's great, Yunnag has solved such a difficult problem, so we can go up!" My wife Shanyi rubbed her face and shouted, "I also want to go up to see what the sage looks like!"

"Don't be like this, Zenitsu, there is nothing you can do if you can't come up with a topic." Kamado Tanjirou comforted him, but he still looked at Unnagi with a little envy and regret.

... So it's not enough to just cheat and skip it?Yun Nagi stood there hesitating for a few seconds, and finally ran back because of uneasy conscience, poked the stone slab, and chose to hand over the money for the friends.

[The price of skipping the first level of questions: 200000 yuan/person, for whom do you want to buy the service of skipping this question? 】

【Kamado Tanjiro】

【My Wife Shanyi】

【Mouth Inosuke】

【Kaomen Nezuko】

Yunnai chose all the options again, and lost another 80 in an instant.

Although it hurt like cutting flesh when giving the money, but fortunately, after paying the money, the favorability of the four people towards Yunnai rose by 20.And now everyone can continue to climb the tower.
