Chapter 102
As early as when he ran into Zhuye Zuijiu and his gang in the woods, Xia Mo decided to look for them here after defeating the skeleton monster.
But she didn't expect that before she could make a move, Xu Xiaobei actually got the news about the treasure chest first and ran here hiding it all the way.
It's a pity that her stealth skills are too poor. She only cares about the beginning and not the end. Xia Mo did nothing but keep a low profile along the way, and easily followed her into the woods.
Xu Xiaobei had the exact address of the treasure chest in her hand. Xia Mo saw her walking and stopping in the woods for a while, and suddenly stopped next to a big rock.
"Here it is!"
After locating the treasure chest address, Xu Xiaobei screamed excitedly.
She threw away the note, took out a shovel, and dug up the soil next to the stone one shovel at a time.
clang.
When the shovel dug into the treasure chest lid, there was a crisp sound of impact.
Xu Xiaobei's face was filled with ecstasy. He immediately threw away the shovel, knelt on the ground, and started digging.
A silver box appeared. She stretched out her hand and hurriedly tried to open it, but was suddenly attacked from behind!
Because she was so focused on digging for the treasure chest, Xu Xiaobei completely forgot that she was in the wild and could be followed and attacked at any time. Noticing that her health suddenly dropped by more than a thousand points, she hurriedly grabbed the priest's staff at her waist and turned around.
"who?!"
She shouted as if warning, and then quickly glanced around, but strangely, she found that there was no one behind her.
"Who's hiding there?! I saw you!"
Although he didn't see anything, Xu Xiaobei raised his voice to give himself courage and to scare the other party.
Unfortunately, only her voice could be heard in the empty woods, and there was no other sound.
Unable to find the person who attacked her, Xu Xiaobei made up her mind and decided to take the things in the treasure chest as soon as possible. After all, she was a priest and could restore her own health. If worst came to worst, she had prepared a lot of red medicines, so she could deal with it anyway.
Then the priest swung her staff towards herself, a beam of light flashed across her body, and her health bar was restored to full.
After her health was full, she immediately turned around, covered the thick lid of the treasure chest with her right hand, and a prompt popped up.
[It takes 10 seconds to open the treasure chest. Do you want to open it now? ]
certainly.
Xu Xiaobei nodded without hesitation [Yes]
But at this moment, whoosh - snap!
Her back was attacked twice in a row!
My blood dropped by more than 3,000 in an instant!
Who are you relying on!!!
Xu Xiaobei grabbed his weapon and turned around again in frustration!
The result was still no one.
Damn it! Xu Xiaobei frowned angrily, not understanding how the attacker could have been so uninformed without revealing anything.
Now she is considered a somewhat experienced player and knows that she must show up when an assassin attacks. If the person who attacked her just now was an assassin, she would have turned her head in such a short time that she could not have missed the other party.
In other words, the other party is not an assassin?
That's even more outrageous!
Among the eight professions, the assassin profession is the best at acting silently. Besides this, who else is there?
It can't be a hunter, right?
No, no, no, how could it be possible! Glancing at the ground and touching the wound behind him, Xu Xiaobei immediately ruled out this guess.
A hunter would use arrows to attack her, and there would definitely be discarded arrows left on the ground, but there are none now. Moreover, the wound caused by the arrows is a deep puncture wound, not a long wound on her back, so the opponent is not a hunter either.
After thinking for a while, Xu Xiaobei still couldn't figure out the identity of the attacker. She felt more and more uneasy. Sweat gradually seeped out of the palm of her hand holding the weapon. She wiped it on her clothes, looked around with great vigilance, and then slowly turned back, stretched out her hand, and continued the 10-second countdown that had been recalculated because of the interruption.
But this time she learned her lesson. When her hand was about to touch the lid of the box, Xu Xiaobei suddenly turned around, ready to catch the attacker off guard!
You're sneaking up on her, aren't you? You're also pretty quick on your feet, aren't you? Then let's see who's faster, you or she!
Xu Xiaobei was determined to win, and a smug smile appeared on his lips in advance.
But the smile froze the moment he turned around.
A huge shadow was cast on her face, forcing her to look up to see what was standing in front of her...
A tree, no, to be more precise, a tree spirit with a ghost face, was waving its branches and whizzing towards her face.
Xu Xiaobei was so frightened that his heart suddenly trembled and he ran to the side.
However, after running out, she suddenly discovered that when she wasn't paying attention, she had been surrounded by densely packed tree spirits with ghost faces!
The tops of the trees were covered with lush branches and leaves, completely blocking the setting sun above. The bottoms were covered with tangled roots of varying thicknesses, wriggling in the soil, which made Xu Xiaobei's scalp tingle.
Xu Xiaobei had no idea why so many moving tree spirits appeared near the treasure chest. He was anxious, but he didn't dare to go back directly.
She was worried that if she went back to open the treasure chest, she would anger the tree spirits again. After all, she had some idea of her level.
But if she kept it closed, she couldn't get the special materials inside.
You have to know that there are conditions for joining Wuyou Pavilion. You either have to be a life player with a certain foundation, or someone like her who has just started lately but can provide the same special materials.
Today was the deadline for her to submit the materials. After much inquiry, she finally found out that Barron in the underground tavern could provide a way. So she spent a lot of money to buy information and rushed here.
But who knew there was a tree spirit near the treasure chest? !
Xu Xiaobei was watching the group of tree spirits that were still slowly wriggling in the outer circle, and he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
It was so frustrating. What was she supposed to do? She couldn't defeat these monsters, and she couldn't give up either!
She was so anxious that she was running around in circles. Suddenly, a few familiar faces flashed through her mind.
Yao He and Xiao Yu, who were far away in other maps, suddenly received a private message at the same time.
[Xiao Beibei: Are you there? Can you help me kill a few monsters?]
At that time, Yao He was leading a team to gain dungeon experience. After looking at who sent the message, he closed the dialog box with an expressionless face.
Xiaoyu was completing guild missions in the second team of Absolute Dynasty. After reading the private chat content, she was surprised for a moment.
Seeing that she was a little distracted, the team members asked, "Captain, is there something wrong?"
Xiaoyu suddenly came back to her senses and said with a smile, "No, no, I just went to check the guild notice. Nothing happened. Let's continue."
Then he closed the message as if nothing had happened.
In the woods, Xu Xiaobei's face gradually became ugly after waiting for a long time without receiving a reply from the two people.
Ever since she was kicked out of Absolute Dynasty, those two people never contacted her again. Every time she took the initiative to contact them, she would only get a few responses from time to time.
I didn't expect that just over a month had passed and they didn't even reply to my messages.
Xu Xiaobei looked at the two messages that no one responded to and sneered angrily.
"Okay, Yao He and Xiao Yu, if you have the guts, don't ask me to do anything for you anymore!"
She gritted her teeth and looked up and down the friend list, and finally her eyes suddenly fell on one of the avatars.
——Ink
As soon as he saw her ID, Xu Xiaobei became furious again!
Ultimately, it's all her fault! If she hadn't inexplicably isolated the three of them in the game, causing them to suffer so much, would she have ended up like this?!
"You are all such heartless people! You will get your comeuppance sooner or later!" Xu Xiaobei gritted his teeth and stomped his feet in hatred.
With this stomp, the tree spirits discovered her trail and began to move their tree roots around to come over.
Xu Xiaobei felt something was wrong and started to run away.
A vine whizzed towards her and she rolled to the ground.
At the same time, other tiny vines rustled from the ground and crawled towards her, binding her feet in an instant.
Xu Xiaobei was horrified and began to struggle while screaming.
However, the vines were extremely tight, and after a while, Xu Xiaobei was whipped to death by the vines, and then turned into a beam of light and disappeared.
After watching the whole process, Xia Mo hid behind a normal big tree and curled his lips in a mocking manner.
He had already reached level 25, but he was completely unaware of the dangers around him.
Those ghost-faced tree elves were obviously monsters guarding the treasure chest, just like when she had snatched the golden treasure chest from the Zongheng Sihai Guild before. Once the treasure chest was touched, it would immediately trigger the guarding skeleton monster.
If you want to take the things in the treasure chest, you must either kill the monster or open the treasure chest within 10 seconds before the monster attacks.
She just observed that the ghost-faced tree spirit hit Xu Xiaobei, and Xu Xiaobei lost more than 1,500 blood points. This damage can be said to be very high. After all, the priest's basic defense is not low. Even if Xu Xiaobei is only at a passing level, she can deal with most monsters of the same level as her.
Xia Mo himself used to be a priest, so with just a quick calculation, he roughly estimated the level of these tree spirits, which was around level 38.
It was not high for her, only 8 levels higher, but the problem was that there were quite a few of these tree spirits, almost 20 or so.
Under normal circumstances, she would have attacked without saying a word, but today she was doing a hidden profession trial and was being chased by the temple skeleton monsters. Even though she had recovered some strength in the underground tavern, Xia Mo still felt the unbearable fatigue after the high-intensity battle.
She didn't really want to have a head-on conflict with these monsters, so after thinking about it, she decided to keep her distance.
So she rushed out from behind the tree and threw out a few skills. She attracted the hatred of the tree spirits and they crawled towards her using their roots.
Those tree roots were black and twisted, and when they squirmed, they looked like mutated large earthworms, which gave Xia Mo goosebumps.
Fortunately, although these tree spirits look disgusting, their brains are not very useful. Under Xia Mo's kite, they chased him mindlessly the whole time, completely forgetting that there was a treasure chest behind them that needed them to protect.
As mentioned before, monsters have their own attack range. Beyond this range, they will automatically give up tracking the player.
Xia Mo had never come into contact with these ghost-faced tree spirits in his previous life, and didn't know where their boundaries were, so he could only hide and run, and test them patiently.
After running about 50 meters away, Xia Mo noticed that one of the tree spirits gave up attacking.
After confirming the distance, she immediately turned around and ran back diagonally from the side, throwing out normal attacks while running to hold them back.
The tree spirit who had previously given up the pursuit was once again caught by her.
It's about time! Xia Mo saw the right moment, opened his cold blood vessels, and drank the purple medicine at the same time.
With the combined power of skills and potions, she moved with great agility, passing through the dense woods like the wind.
Rushing to the treasure chest, she covered it with her hand, and a familiar system prompt popped up.
Xia Mo didn't think twice and just clicked "Yes"
The 10-second countdown starts, 10, 9, 8, 7...
As time passed, the ghost-faced tree elves came closer and closer, roaring and rushing towards her.
Xia Mo pursed his lips and waited nervously.
5, 4, 3...
A vine from a ghost-faced tree spirit flew out and hit her face directly.
During the treasure chest opening process, players cannot be attacked, nor can they move, stand up, use skills, etc., otherwise it will be considered an interruption.
Knowing this very well, when he saw the vines coming towards him, Xia Mo remained standing still, not moving at all.
The tree spirit was about to succeed, but in an instant he was rushed away by a guy who suddenly jumped out from the side!
2. Another vine attacks!
Xia Mo stood still like a mountain, only calling softly, "Jingjing."
The divine beast Jingjing, now as big as an adult tiger, turned around and bit the new vines!
1, 0, the treasure chest was opened successfully.
A bright silver light came on, and the lid of the box slowly opened. At the bottom of the box lay a pile of shiny objects.
Among all these colorful things, there was a drawing that caught Xia Mo's attention at first sight.
