[Sword Three] End Times and Tang Dynasty

Chapter 84: The Devil's Nest ([-])

Putting the finished product in the small medicine mortar into the system backpack, Miao Shiyi had already confirmed many previous doubts, but he did not tell Konoha and everything.He is a policeman, and he needs to talk about evidence in his work. Before more conclusive evidence is obtained, the investigation will continue.

He got off the big rock and sat next to the map of City S. He raised his hand and tapped a point on the map: "How many times has Mu Ze been to City S?"

Talking about the follow-up tasks, Konoha also hurriedly got into the mood, while talking, he twisted a few grasses into a ball as a sign, and put them on the map: "The only time I know is when I accompany Qianqian to report to S City. "Understanding that Mu Ze's itinerary is very important, he carefully recalled: "I was there that day, we went to Qianqian's school, her residence outside the school, and a food street in S city. After leaving, I heard from Qianqian that they also went to this nearby park and a supermarket."

The green grass was crumpled into several balls, distributed in a small area of ​​S City.Miao Shiyi lowered his head and imprinted these positions one by one in his mind, thinking quietly.

If you want to destroy City S, it doesn't matter whether Mu Ze came here before the end of the world, but people always have their own habits in doing things. The places Mu Ze has personally visited should have something to do with the final location of the wood-type energy core.

Another team of system boarders left City S many days later than Miao Shiyi and his party, and participated in the task of escorting the last wave of survivors in City S.

The team of system boarders said that before City S became like this, the whole city was covered with a poisonous source that sprayed poisonous mist. Carefully recalling their mission before they left, they could find that the distribution of poisonous sources was uneven, near the south side of the city. , especially the coastal area is obviously more, and the north side is correspondingly less, so they finally evacuated from there.

Now that he has learned about Mu Ze's unspeakable feelings for his sister from Konoha, Miao Shiyi is even more convinced that Mu Ze will not blindly inject poisonous sources and install wood-type energy cores.

The most obvious evidence is that Mu Qiantong's school is in the North District of S City.

But Miao Shiyi had to consider another problem: after acquiring the system capability, the four of them had not visited many places together, and the house near the hospital in S city was one of them.Considering the danger in city s, they had to act together, which meant that the place they were going to step into at the beginning was in an area with a relatively high degree of danger.

"No matter how much you think about it, you still have to go in." Konoha sighed, "After we set off later, we will move forward carefully, and help you get wood-type energy cores while walking. If we bump into him... I will try my best to stop him."

Miao Shiyi flicked the grass ball: "Yes."

Fully equipped, all staff are equipped with goggles, anti-virus masks, and anti-poison potions on their bodies. Three groups of powerful therapeutic agents and various light and heavy firepower are stored in the system backpack.

Twelve noon.

Miao Shiyi, Bu Tian Jue, an unrivaled ancient magic weapon.

Tang Huai, the Frightening Feather Jue, carries the ancient divine weapon Zhuge Liannu.

Shi Mingjie, the Sutra of Washing the Marrow, carries the Twelve-ringed Tin Staff of the Ancient Divine Weapon.

Konoha, the sword intent of the mountain dwelling, the supreme weapon of the ancient times.

Considering the environment of City S, Konoha has to shoulder the task of opening the way.Holding the epee in his hand, Konoha looked at each of his companions one by one, and the eyes behind the goggles slowly retracted all hesitation, becoming calm and firm: "Let's go."

God's trip is very smooth, which means that everyone's destination has not been destroyed.

When the surrounding vision became hazy, the four of them understood that the journey to return to City S and search for the energy core of the wood system had officially begun.

The room was filled with green mist, but the visibility was okay.Tang Huai quickly surveyed his surroundings, listened carefully to the sounds around him, and temporarily lifted his fighting posture.

The furnishings in this room are the same as when everyone left, with a blanket and two thin quilts on the floor that were not taken away at that time.The biggest difference between now and then is that the walls have become very damp, covered with dark green moss, and there is a clump of strange plants growing in the corners that look like enlarged moldy steamed buns.

It's relatively quiet here, except for the occasional sound of stars from a distance.

Tang Huai approached the window, opened the curtains and looked out.Since it was noon, although the green fog outside the window was thick and black, the visibility was barely ten meters. From here, he could see some mutated plants near the ground shaking lifelessly and slightly.

He walked back to Miao Shiyi with the Zhuge Liannu in his hand, and shook his head slightly to show that there were no visible dangerous creatures outside.

Before leaving, everyone discussed that if they do not encounter powerful enemies, Konoha will lead the way, and Shi Mingjie will follow Konoha closely to protect him.Since Miao Shiyi doesn't have ancient magic weapons and his current mentality is not lethal, Tang Huai is responsible for protecting his safety.

Before reaching the final goal, everyone must put safety first. This formation is conservative enough.

After leaving the room, the four of them went downstairs carefully. Apart from twisted and weird plants, there was also a slippery and disgusting liquid on the stairs.If you don't step on it firmly, you may slip and roll down on the soles of your feet.

It was really outside, surrounded by the boundless gloomy poisonous fog and many huge mutated plants, that everyone really felt the horror of the rumored dead city S.

——Just less than 2 minutes after walking downstairs from the room, everyone's health bar began to drop slowly.

——Through the special gas mask, you can still smell the strange smell in the air. This smell is not pungent, but it is entangled with cobwebs, as if every step you take in the green mist will let the lingering smell Soak yourself a little more.

——The city has become an absolute domain of mutated plants. The slimy vines writhing on the ground not far away are as thick as the waist of an adult male. It is not difficult to see that this is only the tip of this plant...

——The road is arched by plants and undulates like a solidified giant wave. Many tall buildings have collapsed, and the shadows in the distance are like layers of mountains. The best strategic highland.

"...the compass is completely useless." Miao Shiyi put away the military compass that was spinning around, and glanced at the system map, "The map is also blank and can't show the direction. But I can remember the route around here, Konoha, Turn right, go forward."

When it first became a dead city, zombies and strange beasts were rampant in city s, but as the energy of the wood system spread, ordinary mutated zombies and mutated animals became the nourishment for mutated plants one after another.

The plants are growing well, which means that everyone's progress has become extremely difficult.

The mutated plants here are basically divided into two extremes. One kind does not directly harm the hosts of these systems, but covers roads, buildings and depressions in large areas, with some slight toxicity, or makes the ground sticky and slippery. If they are tired, or entangled together to form a roadblock, in short, it will slow down everyone's progress.Such plants are everywhere, and the contained wood-type energy is very scattered. Some of them can't find the energy core even if they clean up a piece, which is a waste of time.

The other is like the huge twisting slime vines that Miao Shiyi and his party saw at the beginning. There are few other plants around them, and they are very aggressive and attack in various ways.With the current strength of the four of them, it doesn't take much time to deal with it together, and it is easy to get five or six energy cores from it.Therefore, no one will let go of anyone who stands in the way of progress.

Twenty minutes passed quickly, and even though Miao Shiyi was healing all the way, everyone's health still inevitably dropped slowly, and the extreme value had already approached 10% of the previous level.

Swinging the epee with the wind, Wu Shan smashed a giant tree blocking the road with its teeth and claws. Konoha picked up a green crystal caught in the giant tree and threw it to Miao Shiyi behind him, and then climbed up the rising mound. I can only see the scene of mutated plants at close range: "Are you sure it's this side? Another pile of vegetation blocking the road..."

Shi Mingjie also climbed up, then turned around and squatted down to pull Miao Shiyi down, and then pulled Tang Huai up.

Miao Shiyi raised the flute and put down the Immortal King Gu Ding, and everyone consciously touched it to make the blood stick up.Taking advantage of this opportunity, Miao Shiyi observed his surroundings, his eyes fixed on the hazy silhouette in the distance: "Master."

Tang Huai followed his line of sight, and with the combination of system-enhanced eyesight and powerful memory, he said firmly, "Central Hospital."

"What's the next step?" Miao Shiyi pointed to the direction Konoha was facing slightly to the right, "It used to be a small park over there," and moved his finger to the direction Konoha was facing slightly to the left, "There is a commercial street over there .”

"There are fewer plants in the commercial street."

Just as Konoha was about to take a step to the left, the two behind him suddenly said at the same time: "Turn right."

"You guys..." Konoha remained silent after saying two words, slid down from the right side of the mound, changed into a light sword in his hand, and started to clear the road with Jiuxi Miyan.

The biggest issue weighing on everyone's heads is always time.To get close to the mission goal in the shortest possible time and improve the overall strength, it is necessary to take risks and challenge more powerful mutated plants to capture their energy cores.Then compared to the commercial street, of course, if you walk in the park with dense vegetation before, you are more likely to encounter powerful mutated plants.

It was another 10 minutes before they returned to the gang territory collectively, which was different from the original plan.

Everyone dragged their weary footsteps to the edge of Changwan Pool, and the other three stopped by the bank one after another, but Tang Huai didn't stop, and went straight into the pool, and even jumped into the water without finishing his jump.

Miao Shiyi was slightly surprised, but he didn't ask. Tang Huai would naturally say what he wanted to say.He turned to the other two partners and healed everyone one by one.

"The situation in City S is very different from what I imagined." Konoha does not have ancient magic weapons, and the Five Elements Stone does not have the ability related to poison resistance. The blood bar drops the most. It was already halfway through when he first entered the gang territory , sat down first, and shook his sore wrist: "Our plan needs to be changed."

Miao Shiyi put down the Immortal King Gu Ding, and his internal strength was used up to [-]%: "The headquarters let us make our own decisions after entering City S, and tell us your opinion."

"The terrain and the pile of plants forming obstacles... I think this is the biggest problem. Our search speed has been seriously slowed down." Konoha still flicked his right wrist, and spread out the map of City S with one hand in his left hand, "We are here today Do you remember how far you have traveled?"

Miao Shiyi's expression was serious, he stared at a distance that was so small that it could be ignored on the map, and said nothing.

"This will definitely not accomplish the task."

Mu Ye hit the nail on the head, of course Miao Shiyi is not a fool, unless Mu Ze himself jumps out with his damn wood energy core in his arms to help them calm down everything, but it is meaningless to hope for such a thing.

Everyone spent more time than planned, and only moved a very small distance. If they maintain this pace of progress in the remaining days, even if they don’t eat, drink or sleep, they have just recovered in the gang territory. If you are in the best condition, you will go out immediately, and you can only reach the North District of S City at most. There is no time to search along the way, and this does not include the time to deal with possible emergencies on the road.

What should I do?

At this time Tang Huai got out of the water, dripping all over, walked to Miao Shiyi's side and reached out to touch the Immortal King Gu Cauldron.

Miao Shiyi was thinking about the problem, and when he saw him coming, he planned to reduce some poison damage for him, but when he raised the flute, he was surprised to find that Tang Huai didn't have any negative effects of poison on him!

Not to mention Tang Huai, even he, who has the anti-poison effect of the Five Elements Stone, still has a dozen layers of negative poison effects on his body!

Seeing his shocked eyes, Tang Huai said: "[-] said that the five elements stone of the water system can help me quickly release the poison after I contact with enough water sources. The cleaner and more water sources I contact, the faster I release the poison. Wait for singing night Touch it after the pool is refreshed, don’t use water now, it’s poisonous.”

Instead, he filled up the blood bar directly for Tang Huai, Miao Shiyi held the flute, and fell silent for a while.

Konoha sighed: "I'm sorry, I'm lagging behind."

This is not an exaggeration, but a statement of fact.

During the exploration of the city just now, the four people were affected differently due to their respective levels, martial art skills, ancient divine weapon protection effects, and five-element stone attributes.

The Tanghuai Five Elements Stone is water and has no anti-poison effect. The degree of poisonous damage is the same as that of Konoha and Shi Mingjie. After returning to the gang territory, he has more than 30 layers of poisonous damage on his body.In contrast, Miao Shiyi himself has only a dozen layers, and he can slowly eliminate it by himself.

However, as long as there is enough clean water, Tang Huai can quickly remove the poisonous damage attached to his body, that is to say, as long as he returns to the gang territory in time to contact Chang Wanchi, he can recover to his best almost faster than Miao Shiyi. state!

When everyone was silent, Shi Mingjie put his palms together and said, "Everyone, do you still remember the battle at Famen Temple?"

Miao Shiyi's eyes lit up, and Konoha was puzzled for two seconds before he came to his senses.Tang Huai scanned the seal and lowered his gaze.

Shi Mingjieping spread out his right palm, and a seal appeared in his palm.Gentle, peaceful and at the same time powerful, pure earth energy radiates quietly from inside.

"The earth element energy core is temporarily in my custody."
