Traveling Frog: Burning Fruit at the Start

Ever since he took over the patrol mission, Frog Cub had been silent.

If Xiao Yinglong hadn't been able to freely enter and exit the system space, Liu Xia almost thought the system had failed.

This time, the frog cubs have been away for a month, so it’s been a long time since they returned the gifts.

But it’s better than nothing, it’s better to click in and take a look yourself.

In the system inventory, a gourd lies quietly inside.

"This gourd looks familiar." Liu Xia shifted his consciousness to the gourd.

[Gaara's Gourd: Wear it to get Sand Shield and Sand Hand. (upgradeable)]

[Hand of Sand: Use sand to turn into a giant hand to attack. 】

[Sand Shield: Sand forms a defensive shield to provide comprehensive defense against attacks. 】

What a good thing!

Liu Xia was delighted.

Although he has the Burning Fruit and Mihawk's sword skills, he is still lacking in defense.

With Gaara's gourd, his own strength will definitely be greatly improved.

【Extract items】

Liu Xia felt his palm sink, and a mini version of Gaara's gourd appeared in his hand.

"Hands of Sand!"

Liu Xia's thoughts moved, and a big hand made entirely of gravel rushed out from the ground and punched the sky.

"Sand Shield!"

Then, the big hand turned into sand with a bang, and before landing, it was pulled by an invisible force, which directly wrapped Liu Xia's entire body, making it completely invisible from the outside.

At this scene, Lin Bing and Lu Shan were surprised and dumbfounded.

"You...you can actually use earth spiritual energy?"

As an awakened person of the earth element, Lu Shan is very sensitive to the aura of the earth element.

Liu Xia's two blows just now were obviously the earth aura that he was familiar with.

It can't be considered very rare for one person to master two kinds of spiritual energy, but it is certainly not too many.

Unexpectedly, Liu Xia was the one, and Lu Shan couldn't help but admire him.

"You have to keep my secret." Liu Xia raised her eyes and showed a meaningful smile.

Lu Shan patted his chest and said confidently: "Don't worry, I understand!"

Lin Bing also nodded.

So at the same time, another room.

Zhong Zijian's five-man team was fighting an S-class flaming demon lion.

The five people were injured all over their bodies. Except for Zhong Zijian, whose breath was still normal, the other four people's faces were already a little pale.

"Captain, this blazing demon lion is too difficult to deal with. We can't stand it any longer."

This team member was suddenly distracted because of talking. If another companion hadn't pulled him up, he would have been swept to the chest by the huge lion's paw.

At this time, Zhong Zijian himself was not doing well either.

In order to reduce the pressure on other teammates, he took the initiative to draw the hatred of the Blazing Demon Lion onto himself, so the pressure he endured was relatively high.

"I will restrain it first, and you will take medicine to recover as soon as possible. This lion has been tortured by us for so long, and it should be almost at its limit!"

Although Zhong Zijian's five people are only A-level in strength, after all, their intelligence is still much higher than that of the ferocious beasts.

Therefore, in terms of battle situation, the five people still have a slight advantage.

The remaining four teammates, after Zhong Zijian stabilized the hatred, quickly retreated outside the combat range, took out the elixir and threw it into their mouths.

When all the pressure came to him, he truly realized how terrifying the S-class beast was.

During these few minutes, Zhong Zijian was fully focused and did not dare to be distracted at all.

Because, as long as he is distracted for a moment, the claws of the blazing demon lion will tear him into pieces.

"Captain, we have recovered!"

The four of them saw that Zhong Zijian was moving slower and slower, and they did not dare to wait until he fully recovered, so they immediately joined the battle.

With the addition of four people, Zhong Zijian's pressure was suddenly reduced a lot. Only then is there a gap to swallow the recovery elixir.

After another half hour of entanglement, the five of them finally defeated the blazing demon lion.

When the huge body collapsed, the big stone in the hearts of the five people also fell.

The five of them gasped for air, their faces full of exhaustion.

"Captain, this S-class beast is really tough. I beat him for so long before he was beaten to death."

"Yes, yes, you said, if an awakened person of less than A level comes in, he will definitely die without any life!"

The discussion among the team members made Zhong Zijian think of someone.

That sword cut through the figure of the S-class beast, and every time I think of it, my body can't help but tremble.

"Perhaps, only he can easily kill an S-class beast."

Zhong Zijian murmured in a voice that only he could hear.

After killing the ferocious beast, Zhong Zijian's team's subsequent exploration speed also increased a lot.

The entire space in the room was rummaged through by them, and they also harvested abundant spiritual flowers and spiritual herbs.

After Zhong Zijian repeatedly confirmed that nothing was missing, he led the team members through the door and returned to the second-floor hall.

In the hall, many awakened people have returned here.

Almost everyone was injured, and some teams even experienced attrition.

Seeing this situation, Zhong Lin and the other three representatives looked solemn.

Just now, the four of them teamed up to investigate.

On the fourth floor of the tower, there are no stairs going up. There is only a special stone wall with four holes on it.

The four people guessed that these four keys were most likely placed in the rooms on each floor.

If you want to pass the fourth floor, you can only explore all the rooms.

"Is this the key you are talking about?"

After listening to the four people's stories, Liu Xia took out a diamond-shaped crystal from the system space and held it up for the four people to see.

Zhong Lin looked around and his eyes lit up.

The shape of the crystal in Liu Xia's hand was exactly the same as the hole in the stone wall on the fourth floor.

"Where did you find it?" Gabriel asked hurriedly.

"It's in the room we just explored." Liu Xia replied.

Zhong Lin glanced at it and then asked: "Has any other companion collected such stones?"

"I also have a piece here. I found it in the room on the first floor."

A Sakura Academy shadow ninja member also took out an identical crystal.

Now, the four of them were more certain about their guess.

According to the progress of the entire discovery, it is very likely that there is a crystal stone on each floor. After taking four crystal stones, you can pass through the stone wall and find the secret of this tower.

But before that, the four still have to remind the remaining members.

The further back you go, the more dangerous it may be, so I suggest you try to explore in groups.

If the injury affects the safety of the subsequent exploration, the four of them suggest exiting the tower first. After all, lives are more important than treasures.

After some regrouping and some people exiting the tower, the number of people present decreased sharply, and the strength of the remaining members was already A level or above.

During this period, some people also invited the three of Lu Shan to form a team, but they were all politely rejected.

Lushan didn't like to form a team with others, and most of the members of the special operations team were used to being alone. Secondly, with Liu Xia as a partner with explosive attack power, no matter how many teams you form, nothing can beat him. Why should I force myself to form a team?

Lu Shan's decision also received support from Liu Xia and Lin Bing. In the end, their team still maintained its original number.

"Everyone is ready, let's head to the third floor!"

Zhong Lin waved his hand, and everyone followed closely and walked towards the third floor.
