Liu Zifeng wanted to continue persuading them, but when he saw the wary eyes of these secret realm apostles, he immediately lost his temper and cursed in his heart: "A bunch of useless people, a bunch of guerrillas, want to complete the promotion mission, it's simply a daydream!"

Liu Zifeng had a look of disappointment on his face, but in fact, in his heart, didn't he also regard the others as cannon fodder?

Time passed by minute by minute, and two days went by quickly. There were less than six hours left to survive the first main mission.

Time is running out, and there are more and more mutant creatures around. In the past two days, more than a dozen secret realm apostles have died in the sneak attacks of mutant creatures. Some timid ones have even left the city of Alfak.

The penalty for the Main Quest 3 does not say that failure to complete it will result in death, so some people are hoping for the best, thinking that they will not die even if the quest fails, and at most they will lose 50% of their current Apostle experience.

At the same time, Xu Feng and his two companions searched the Golden Plains for two days and finally found a clue about the space teleportation node.

There is a river in the Golden Plain that runs through the entire plain. The river is more than a thousand meters wide, with a gentle flow and not deep. The deepest part is only twenty to thirty meters. Ordinary people can easily swim back and forth in this river.

The reason why the Golden Plain has become a fertile and rich farmland is closely related to this river. Without the sufficient water source provided by this river, the Huangjing Plain would not have become the largest farmland in the vicinity. It's a pity that this fertile land has now been completely abandoned and gradually turned into a wasteland.

"There, I, I went to the river to fetch water, and saw a mechanical crocodile in the river over there..." A look of excitement appeared on Zhang Zibing's face.

After searching for two days, the three did not find any clues about the space transmission node. Xu Feng and Shui Sheng looked at Zhang Zibing with increasingly unfriendly eyes.

Zhang Zibing already had a premonition that if there was no more clues about the space transmission node, his life would be in danger before the deadline of the main mission.

Xu Feng stored a lot of food and water in his personal space, and Shui Sheng seemed to have her own personal space as well, so the two of them didn't have to worry about food and water.

But Zhang Zibing is different. He needs to go to this river to fetch water every day. It is because of this that Zhang Zibing discovered that there are mechanical creatures in this river.

You should know that the so-called mechanical creatures on this planet are actually mechanical warriors of alien creatures. They are the vanguard of the alien army, or cannon fodder troops.

But as long as mechanical creatures are found, it means that there must be important items in this area that the alien creatures need to protect.

"Did you really find a mechanical creature?" Xu Feng asked in disbelief. At this moment, Zhang Zibing was like a frightened bird. If he had not been afraid of Xu Feng and Shui Sheng's strength, he would have run away long ago.

It is possible that he made up a lie because he was afraid that Xu Feng would kill him.

"Really, really, I swear on my life, there are definitely mechanical creatures in this river!" Zhang Zibing said hurriedly.

At this moment, a metal spike suddenly shot out from the river, targeting Xu Feng who was standing on the river bank.

Puff~ The metal spike was extremely fast and pierced directly into Xu Feng's chest. However, just as it pierced through Xu Feng's clothes and touched his skin, suddenly a gentle force blocked the metal spike.

Xu Feng felt as if he was stung by a bee on his chest, and the next moment, the talisman on his body suddenly caught fire.

When he opened his clothes, he saw a tiny red dot on his chest. Xu Feng's face changed slightly. He picked up the metal spike that had fallen to the ground and quickly retreated away from the river bank.

"It's okay!" Xu Feng waved his hand, his eyes fixed on the metal spike in his hand, turning it over and over.

"Look, there are mechanical creatures here!" Zhang Zibing said excitedly.

"It's not easy to deal with!" Xu Feng handed the metal spike in his hand to Shui Sheng, and said solemnly: "The damage of this metal spike is extremely high, enough to be comparable to that of a second-level apostle. If the space transmission node is really in the river, there doesn't need to be many mechanical creatures guarding it that can launch this metal spike. As long as there are ten, we can't get close..."

"Let me check and see how many metal creatures are hidden in this river!" Shui Sheng said, then took out a piece of talisman paper, folded it twice casually, and threw it away.

"Boom~"

The talisman paper burned in the air, and after a moment, a palm-sized hummingbird appeared in front of everyone.

"Go." Shui Sheng pointed to a hummingbird in the river in the distance and rushed towards the river quickly. At the same time, Xu Feng suddenly found that a moving picture appeared in his mind. This picture was exactly the scene seen from the hummingbird's perspective.

"This is..." Xu Feng showed a look of surprise on his face.

"It's just a little trick, not worth mentioning!" Shui Sheng said with a smile.

Xu Feng knew that the image in the hummingbird's vision was because he and Shui Sheng had a companion bond, so they could share the vision, but this method of turning the talisman paper into a hummingbird was similar to his Taoist Soldier Talisman.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Soon, the hummingbird flew over the river, then transformed into a small fish and fell from the sky into the river. Soon, the picture in Xu Feng's mind also turned into a picture of swimming in the river.

"Mechanical crocodile, mechanical thornfish, mechanical turtle, is this...mechanical Kun?" Xu Feng showed a look of surprise on his face.

There were more mechanical creatures in the river than they had imagined. After swimming for a long time, they did not find any native creatures in the river. They were all mechanical creatures. Not to mention ten, there must be hundreds or even thousands of them...

Xu Feng's mood became even heavier. This river had been completely occupied by mechanical creatures. Fortunately, they did not rush down just now. Otherwise, it would not be an easy task to escape from so many mechanical underwater creatures.

Shui Sheng controlled the talisman fish to shuttle back and forth in the river. Because this talisman fish was made entirely of talisman power and had no flesh and blood, it could not attract the attention of these mechanical creatures. Otherwise, it would have been killed by the mechanical creatures in the river long ago.

Soon, the Fu fish swam upstream along the river for more than 200 meters. The higher it went, the more mechanical creatures there were underwater. Their species became more diverse and their sizes varied.

"Xu Feng, we found it!" Shui Sheng suddenly said excitedly, and the speed of controlling the talisman fish also increased dramatically.

As the distance got closer, Xu Feng also noticed something strange. From Fu Yu's perspective, a purple-black diamond-shaped crystal was floating in the middle of the river. This diamond-shaped crystal was almost exactly the same as the one Xu Feng saw in the Iron Castle in Alfak City, except that the one in the Iron Castle was translucent crystal-like, while the one in front of him was emitting a purple-black luster.
