The already limited light in the forest vanished completely the moment the Greater Rift closed.
A huge, blood-red sun rose in the sky.
That thing was as big as a millstone that was almost touching.
An ominous red light shone upon the earth.
Under the light, Leah felt a burning pain on her skin, as if it were being scorched by fire.
I could hear the monster's furious roar.
The distance isn't far, at most about 500 meters.
Unlike ordinary howls, that sound was like a monster stepping on a metal trap, filled with hatred and rage, completely losing its mind. If an adventurer appeared before them, they would stop at nothing to bite off the adventurer's neck.
Under the red light, adventurers will be damaged, and the ferocity of monsters will be greatly increased!
To make matters worse, dark clouds gradually gathered in the sky, and within just a few minutes, a torrential downpour began.
This seemed to be a large-scale magic unique to a closed secret realm. Unlike ordinary rain, this downpour was extremely acidic, specifically designed to corrode the life barrier of adventurers. Leah felt itchy all over.
She examined it carefully and found that the thickness of the life barrier had not decreased much; in concrete terms, it was only -1 or -2.
But the torrential rain showed no signs of stopping and could continue for another day or even a month.
Even heavily armored warriors cannot survive in such a harsh environment!
"We need to find a place to shelter from the rain."
Leah crouched under a large tree, her hands supporting her face, a cloud of worry between her brows. She looked like a delicate, beautiful girl in black stockings, unable to repay a debt, being harassed by a minotaur in a black jacket.
She took shelter from the rain for the time being from the dense canopy of trees.
Leah knew very well that this wasn't a long-term solution.
When the air is soaked by rain, it feels burning when you breathe it into your throat.
She needs to find a wooden house or a cave to mitigate the damage from the rain.
If possible, go and collect materials from the forest that can restore your fighting spirit.
Leah had read a book of adventurers' musings, in which there was a brief mention of how to survive in a closed-off, secret realm.
During the closure of Greater Rifts, adventurers cannot use teleportation stones, mana and aura recovery items, and there is no magic element in the air.
but!
The World Tree Goddess will not cut off all paths to survival for adventurers, offering a glimmer of hope.
[Dark-colored fruit].
A type of World Tree Fruit that only appears during Mythic+ dungeon closures.
Unable to be taken out, they will all turn to ashes on the day the Greater Rift opens.
The effect is: It can restore a small amount of the adventurer's magic power and fighting spirit.
With a sufficient number of Dark Fruits to continuously replenish her battle qi, she could survive in the closed secret realm for a month.
At that moment, hungry Leah licked the strawberry cake cream off her fingers.
It was sweet, but also had the salty taste of sweat.
She felt nauseous, but she tried her best to hold it in.
In the perilous and secluded secret realm, every bit of food is extremely precious.
There is also a water source.
I heard that if there's no water, you have to drink urine.
At this moment, Leah suppressed her willful temper and thought of using the juice cup in the ring to store urine.
You should drink when you're supposed to.
Anyway, no one else will know that she drinks this kind of stuff.
Having overcome her initial unease, Leah quickly calmed down and displayed the basic qualities expected of an adventurer.
She realized that her primary goal was to find a place where she could escape the acid rain and the raging monsters and sleep peacefully.
Secondly, there are water and food.
The third step is to look for dark-colored tree fruits.
"I still have about 30% of my battle aura left, and my life barrier is over 4500. That's enough to deal with one level 30 berserk monster. But two would be more troublesome, three I need to run away quickly, and four..."
Leah shook her head.
Then I guess I'll only be able to turn into monster poop.
After spending about ten minutes devising a survival strategy, just as the rain subsided slightly, Leah used her greatsword to carve a 'wooden shield' from a tree and placed it on her head to shield herself from the rain.
She jumped onto a tall tree, using the open view to find shelter.
"The first choice is caves, but caves are basically occupied by monsters."
"I could dig one out of the rock face myself, but that would be too noisy and might attract monsters."
"If only there were light and poison magic!"
The former can cut through rock walls silently, while the other excels at erosion and can easily carve caves into rock walls.
Leah's Fire Aura is only level 30, and she can only melt rocks with the help of skills. Her normal Fire Aura is only good enough for making barbecue.
"No, my brain is about to break down."
After thinking for a short while, Lia felt dizzy, her stomach churned, and she felt so tired that she wanted to vomit.
"I wish someone could help me think."
Although Phyllis and Eiko were in the team, Leah always felt that they were not as good as someone else.
"I wonder if they escaped from Dragon Forest."
The thought that I might be the only one trapped here made the feeling even worse.
Thump!
Boom!
Suddenly, the sounds of battle came from directly ahead.
"Could they be adventurers?"
Leah perked up.
She stood on a big tree, gazing into the distance.
About 100 meters away, six giant saw mushrooms were attacking an adventurer.
Under the acid rain, the monsters became even more ferocious. The large, round eyes of the Demon Saw Mushroom emitted a blood-red light, and veins bulged on its body, just like a human in a fit of rage.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a muscle mushroom.
They were still level 30, but their combat power was far greater than those that Vilia had encountered before.
