Summoner, he is never alone

Ye Xu threw light skills, and the more he threw them, the more he felt something was wrong.They are really like the employees of the sewage treatment plant, and they are the kind with excellent performance.

"No, the sewage plant doesn't purify water like this. People use physical adsorption, precipitation and chemical reagents." Jiang Yuexuan tried hard to recall the knowledge she learned N years ago, and said affirmatively.

Shen Zhiyu looked down at the lake below: "Actually, this transparency can be seen directly with the naked eye, and it doesn't have to be in the water."

"Then you stay on the water, I'm going down to have a look."

After speaking, sister Xuan manipulated the swamp envoy to dive into the water. The magic shield of the legal system can form an air ball, so there is no need to worry about breathing in a short time.If it doesn't work, they can still drink some underwater breathing potions.

Ye Xu and Mo Bei also followed, Shen Zhiyu had no choice but to go into the water together.The area to be searched is not large, which is the place where the water is the darkest in this small area. The four people worked together to quickly find out what was wrong.

It is not an item that emits the plague of undead, but a crack in space.But besides the space rift, there is indeed something else at the bottom of the water, that is a black sharp stone.Since there had never been any stubborn stones of this color and shape in Glittering Lake, but only round pebbles of brilliant colors, it was certain that this thing was also a foreign thing.

It's just that it didn't emit any dark energy, but contained a special energy, which Ye Xu had never seen before.The system detection only says that it is a "stone with unknown energy", and it needs to be identified by a professional NPC.

The appraisers in "Lingyuan" are only NPCs, and few players have learned appraisal techniques.Moreover, this identification is only for special and rare items, and the equipment that is usually obtained does not need identification at all, so there are not many opportunities to use the identification technique.

Ye Xu looked at the stone, and felt that there might be a follow-up task hidden in it, and it didn't look like it was some low-level stuff.So I put it in the backpack properly, and I didn't feel bad that it might be a sky-high appraisal fee.

He shared the matter of the stone with everyone, but now everyone is obviously more concerned about the space crack, so they waved their hands casually to let him put it away, and we will talk about this matter later.The task is urgent, first analyze the crack thoroughly, anyway, the stone will not run away when it is there.

The cracks are inconspicuous, and you can only see them when you get close.Black matter has been slowly leaking out of the crack. Everyone suspects that it is a kind of black water full of undead plague. After flowing out of the crack, it directly melts into the lake.

It is also very easy to prove this, just get close to the crack and put it into the magic shield.The magic shield will automatically drain the surrounding lake water, so that the crack will be alone in the air inside the magic shield.

At this time, it is clear at a glance whether the pure energy element or the black water with energy comes out of the crack.Ye Xu looked at the tick-tock black water seeping out of the crack, and removed his shield with a little disgust. After the black water dissolved in the surrounding lake, he moved away from this side, and opened the shield again to drain the lake.

"Such a small crack?" Jiang Yuexuan also leaned over to take a look, and stretched out her hand to gesture, which was only as long as a palm.

The crack was a long, thin strip, tightly closed, so that the black water at that end could only seep in a little.If it is turned on, I am afraid that the water from the other end will pour in all at once.

Shen Zhiyu frowned: "It seems that this crack is connected to the Undead Continent, but how did the water monkey get in such a small gap?"

The water monkey is obviously not a native species in Shimmering Lake, it must be a foreign species, and it came through the crack.But now it is found that the crack is not big enough. Are there cracks in other places?

"Maybe when the crack was first formed, it was relatively large, allowing a small group of water monkeys to have a chance to run in, and then it gradually became smaller and they couldn't get through." Ye Xu thought for a while, "There should be no second crack. And even if there is one, it must be a big crack, and the lake water cannot be polluted only by this."

Jiang Yuexuan agreed very much: "It is also possible that the crack will become larger when it is fixed to the extent that the water monkey can come over, but I measured it, and the crack does not have a tendency to become larger, but is getting smaller undetectably. So it should be This is what Xiaoye guessed, the water monkey was lucky enough to run in at the beginning."

"Since it's a crack that will shrink by itself, didn't you say that the crack will disappear after a while?" Mo Bei asked.

She nodded: "Yes, the crack appeared here more than half a month ago at the latest, and it has shrunk several times by now. According to this speed, the crack may disappear in a few days, and the truth will not be found when we come to search."

"If you can't find out the truth, what will be the consequences?" Ye Xu quickly thought about it.

In "Lingyuan", when it comes to such time-limited tasks, it is quite complicated.The last time he met was Tiffany's mission. After a while, he had to drag it to level 100 to complete it. This time, there was another one that was outdated and he couldn't find the reason at all. He always felt that there was something tricky in it.

"It's not necessarily impossible to find it at all, it's just that there is no evidence. The NPC probably knows that the water monkey is a creature of the Undead Continent, so there was a crack here." Jiang Yuexuan thought for a while.

Even if there is no evidence, if there is no other more reliable guess, it is impossible to find a conclusion.She felt that the existence of the space rift was just a reminder to the city lords, asking them to search carefully for other space rifts in the territory and repair them in advance.

If there is no key evidence, at most the city lords are not sure what the reason is.However, those who should be searched will still be searched, but a certain amount of manpower and energy will be wasted on other possibilities, which will reduce the efficiency of work.

The impact is not very big, and more of it is to wear down the strength of the main city from the subtleties. This kind of thing needs to happen hundreds of times before it can have a significant impact on the main city.

"At most, it's because they didn't put all their energy into searching and repairing the cracks, so one or two cracks were not filled in time, and they were used by the undead to send a small army to harass them."

This is to add a little blockage to the city lord's mansion. As long as the undead come, don't arrange any teleportation arrays secretly, it will have little impact.But one thing is worse than one thing less, and it is always good to find the cracks in advance.

Shen Zhiyu opened the task bar and glanced at the progress: "100%! You can turn in the task. It seems that the water monkeys have been killed by them. We just wait for the City Lord Mansion to send people to repair the cracks and purify the water source."

"Then shall we go? Or stay here to help purify?" Mo Bei asked.

"You are stupid, even if you want to purify, you have to accept the task first, or you are doing nothing?" Shen Zhiyu poked him, "And your holy fire will attract monsters' hatred after purifying, so you should stop."

On the other hand, God Feather can stay and help with some purification missions. Using the purification technique on mobs will not cause hatred or attacks from mobs. As long as you pay attention not to attract mobs, it is very safe.

Jiang Yuexuan and Ye Xu thought about it, and said they didn't plan to stay. The level 80 dungeon will be open soon, so take advantage of this time to take a good rest, and when the dungeon opens, you will have to open up wasteland, and there will be no time to rest.

So they talked in the group, and they agreed to go to the city lord's mansion to hand in the task, and then they went to do their own things.

This task was originally accepted at the mercenary union, so it should also be handed in at the mercenary union.But it's a big matter, going to the mercenary union will waste time, and you have to wait for the union to report to the city lord's mansion, so it's better to go directly to the city lord, so that you can brush up the favorability of the city lord by the way.

A group of ten people quickly gathered in front of the gate of the City Lord's Mansion. The guards did not stop Ye Xu when they saw him, and let them in without saying a word.

The city lord was a little surprised to see them coming, but after scanning Jiang Yuexuan, he understood.He personally sent the task of Shining Lake, and whoever accepted the task, the mercenary union would naturally report to him, and when he saw someone, he would understand why they came.

"Is there something that needs to be dealt with immediately?" He didn't talk nonsense and went straight to the point.

Jiang Yuexuan took the task, and she was more eloquent, so everyone looked at her directly and waited for her to report.Sister Xuan was not polite, she came out and told the story in a concise and concise manner, and raised the issues that the City Lord's Mansion needs to solve.

"I will arrange for the holy church to purify the lake water, and release some purification tasks by the way, and it will definitely be resolved within today. The infected creatures need the help of adventurers to clean them up. There are too many of them, and the army of the city lord's mansion can't handle them. As for the space cracks, I will send a space mage to deal with it as soon as possible, and I will also regularly clean and search everywhere outside the city, and this will not happen again in the future."

No one knows when the crack will appear. The crack this time is obviously not man-made, otherwise it is impossible for only some water monkeys to come in.Naturally formed cracks can only be repaired afterwards. The world is so big, and they don't have so many people to strengthen the space barriers everywhere. After all, space mages are too rare.

Regular search is the best way. There are still a lot of troops in the main city in the wild, and they are evenly distributed everywhere.For them, the carpet search is not difficult, especially the undead plague brought by the cracks is really conspicuous.It's not noticeable in the water, but on land, it's hard to hide.

Because the plants on land are the most sensitive to the undead plague, they will be quickly infected by the plague and turn yellow or black, even if there is only a small amount of plague toxin, the effect is very obvious.At a glance, the color of the grass and trees turned yellow and black, and a blind person could tell something was wrong.

In other words, in fact, only water areas and areas without plant growth need to be carefully explored, and it is not necessary to practice carpet searches in other places.As long as you walk around to see if the plants are still healthy, you can easily tell the difference, and the workload is not as big as everyone thinks.

"Let the adventurers clean up the little monsters. Players below level 80 are fine, but players above level 80 may not be able to fight well." After hearing the decision of the city lord, Xiao Yige said in the team chat with some hesitation.

Jiang Yuexuan reassured: "It's okay, these polluted mobs are not too polluted and can't infect other creatures. So after repairing the gaps and purifying the water, don't rush to kill them all, you can take your time."

Moreover, when purifying the water, the priests would probably browse through the entire piece of amber, which would purify a lot of mobs along the way, and the remaining polluted mobs were actually not that many.

But this time, Sister Lian Xuan didn't guess the true intention of the city lord, because she never expected that there would be such a magical operation.The so-called infected creatures in the mouth of the city lord are not all the aquatic monsters in Shimmering Lake they thought.

God Feather received the purification task and happily set off with the priests of the Holy Church, not to mention their transportation, and their protection.Originally, he had to be careful not to attract monsters when he went to purify alone. As a result, the Holy Church didn’t pay attention to the mobs at all. As peace-loving priests, they directly put all the mobs to sleep with a sleeping spell. Purified the past without hindrance.

This purification process lasted until after 10 o'clock in the evening. The system obviously planned to wait for the follow-up processing before opening the dungeon, so the 80-level book was not directly opened before this.But it was too late after 10 o'clock, and it was also inconvenient to open. In the end, I just sent a message to everyone, saying that the level 9 five-player dungeon will be open at 80 o'clock tomorrow morning.

It stands to reason that this time is not enough to kill all the contaminated mobs. If it is really necessary to deal with the follow-up, it will take more than ten days. As a result, a wizard who accompanied him directly came to draw his salary from the bottom of the pot.

The team they set off this time consisted of a team of priests, a team of wizards, and a space mage. The space mages were here to repair the cracks, and what these wizards were here for, they didn't even think about it, and they were very curious.Shen Zhiyu thought that he would have to wait to get the answer, but the team of wizards started to make troubles as soon as they arrived.

All the wizards were scattered, and each was in charge of an area.Shen Zhiyu ran beside the priest, and also saw several wizards operating.

I saw that they used spells to directly extract the undead poison from the mob's body, and put it in a special container.After the container was full, these wizards all gathered together and began to catch the piranhas and inject the poison into the piranhas.

These elite monster piranhas had only been refreshed for a few hours, and they were poisoned again. After all the piranhas were poisoned and raised to level 80, they were let go.The wizards continued to collect toxins, and after the collection, they went to catch eels to fill their bodies, and filled them to level 81.After that, the flying fish reappeared in the waters before it was time to refresh the elite monsters, and they were pumped to level 82.

Shen Zhiyu understood now, this is to feed all the toxins in the Flash Lake to the three kinds of mobs. In this way, it is ok to kill these three kinds of mobs and use the purification technique.Otherwise, if all the mobs are killed, the mob death toxin will be mixed into the water again, and the lake will have to be purified again.

As for why they didn't purify the container directly after collecting the toxins, both the wizard and the priest NPC said that the concubine couldn't do it.The purification technique must be entered into the living body, because the container will affect the performance of the purification technique.

In short, it's just taking off your pants and farting, it's superfluous.But there is no way, the system is set like this, if it is not set like this, the copy will not be able to open.

After collecting three waves of mobs and three bosses, the space mage divided this water area into separate secret realms with a wave of his hand. This is the origin of the level 80 secret realm.It also explained why the piranhas they played before at level 75 would be mobs in the level 80 dungeon, because the dungeon is an advanced version of the blackened piranha.

The space mage isolated this water area in a separate space, so that even if everyone enters the space and kills those mobs without using the purification technique, the diffused toxins will no longer pollute the Shining Lake. After all, they are not in the same dimension. .After the player kills all these blackened monsters and leaves the secret realm, the secret realm will be automatically "destroyed" with the poison, which is very convenient.

Of course, this is just the plot setting on the NPC side. In fact, the dungeon can be reopened repeatedly, and it is not a one-time item.

The mobs that had been pumped out left Shimmering Lake, but the large water area of ​​Shimmering Lake was not affected, as if they had been cleaned up of the mobs that had just been refreshed again.As soon as the refresh CD of the elite monster arrives, a group of 75 level piranhas will appear again, filling the waters.

As for the level 80 dungeon, the entrance is placed by the lakeside where Ye Xu and the others entered the lake.Although the place is remote, there is a large open space around it, which is suitable for players to come and gather, and it won't be too small to accommodate so many people.

After Shen Zhiyu shared what she saw and heard with her friends, Jiang Yuexuan completely understood what the previous city lord meant: "So that's what it means to find players to deal with the polluted creatures..."

"What? I didn't understand, can you explain?" Mo Bei hurriedly asked.

Xiao Suguang answered his doubts for him: "The city lord said to ask the player to solve it. In fact, he meant to open a copy for the player to farm, instead of asking the player to go to Shimmering Lake and kill all the mobs once."

The city lord's solution was really simple and rude, and he made up a qualified excuse for the appearance of the dungeon, which was simply the last stubbornness of the logic party.

Ye Xu didn't participate in their discussion. After reading the story, he went to the appraiser to confirm the stone.The others were not interested in the follow-up tasks, especially Chu Jifeng, who was disgusted by the water monkey, and she was determined not to do related tasks anymore, directly expressing that she would quit, she would rather stay in the dungeon and open up wasteland.

The other teammates also had the same idea. In the end, only Sister Xuan was not too repulsed because she was a dark attribute profession.She told Ye Xu that if she couldn't do the task alone, she would be called together, and if she could do it by herself, she wouldn't interfere.

After all, it was the props that Ye Xu found by himself, so it's perfectly fine for him not to bring others along to make it.This should have nothing to do with the level 80 dungeon. It is an independent plot line, and there is no need to share it with others.

"I feel that the difficulty of the task should not be particularly high." Jiang Yuexuan analyzed, "Its upper link is the pre-quest of the dungeon, and the pre-quest of the dungeon has always been difficult, so it is unlikely to bring another high-difficulty task."

Otherwise, this plot line is too valuable, and the two tasks before and after are extremely well-paid, which is not in line with the stingy nature of the game company.She tends to think that this is a personal task. If one person does it, the rewards are okay. If there are a few more, the rewards will not be very impressive because of the equal share.

Seeing that they really didn't want to get involved, Ye Xu stopped persuading them, and went to an appraiser to confirm the stone.It was discovered that the unknown energy contained in the stone was of space attribute, so Ye Xu couldn't recognize it.

It is obviously a very rare material, but it's a pity that less than half of the energy inside has been consumed.Moreover, this energy is violent, aggressive, and difficult to use.If you have to say what it can be used for, probably it can cut the space.

Ye Xu immediately showed it, and the space crack at the bottom of the lake was actually cut out by this small stone by accident.After the successful cutting, it and the water monkey became the first thing to be taken to the other end of the space, and then lay quietly at the bottom of the water without moving.

Because the lake water of Shining Lake is calm and gentle, and there is no undercurrent at the bottom of the water, it was able to lie down the whole time without moving its nest, and did not continue to cut new cracks.But it is probably not so peaceful in the black water of the Undead Continent at the other end. Perhaps the undercurrent of the black water at the other end was turbulent, driving it to passively cut through the space, resulting in the current situation.

After the firm end, it did not bring Ye Xu a new task.So this stone is not actually a quest item, but a simple special item that can open the cracks in the undead continent.If Ye Xu needs to go to that continent to do some tasks, he can be used.

But, does Ye Xu have such a task in his hands?He rummaged through his clear task bar, but there was nothing there.

The only thing that is a bit reliable is Zhen Zhen's soul collection mission. Before that, he got some soul fragments from the legion leader, but it didn't belong to Zhen Zhen, but the legion leader's own fragments, which were filled into Zhen Zhen.He has no idea where Zhenzhen's own soul fragments are, and he is not sure that he can find them in the Undead Continent.

Therefore, it is obviously not advisable to enter the Undead Continent for the illusory soul fragments.This matter can only be mentioned later, anyway, the stone will not run away if it is placed in the warehouse.
