Chapter 119 Triggering the Mission
Besides being weaker than these dream beasts, players also face the major possibility of dying if they fail to complete the mission.
This quest-based instance is not as simple as it seems.
If it were that easy, someone would have already completed it; why hasn't anyone finished it yet?
Shen Jue will not underestimate this instance.
The game system is sneaky; it might dig a hole somewhere from time to time and bury the player.
After Shen Jue searched the entire forest near the water source, he still couldn't find any trace of the dream beast.
It's easy to feel discouraged when faced with this situation.
Could it be that she's thinking in the wrong direction?
Just as Shen Jue was doubting her own judgment and about to reject it, the prompt acted like a shot of adrenaline, urging her to continue exploring.
(The key to unlocking quest-based dungeons lies near the water source; this isn't just what's on the surface, so look carefully. You might find something.)
It seems her approach was correct, but her search was too straightforward and one-sided, lacking detail.
Since it was near a water source, she had been stuck in a habitual way of thinking.
They believed that sheep-shaped dream beasts would exist on both sides near the water source, completely ignoring the possibility of them existing beneath the water surface.
Thinking of this, Shen Jue changed his Frost Armor into a Diving Armor.
She planned to go underwater to take a look, while Huiyi would guard the top. If Huiyi was unwilling, she had plenty of ways to make him agree.
Shen Jue briefly explained her thoughts to Hui Yi, asking him to stay on the shore and wait for her to come out.
Huiyi cannot leave during this time, otherwise, if she finds out he has left when she comes out, she will hunt him down all over the map.
Of course, Shen Jue wouldn't let Hui Yi wait here in vain.
She was prepared; if she wanted the horse to graze, she had to feed it well. If she wanted Gray Memory to stay on the shore and guard the surrounding area, she had to offer it sufficient benefits.
She promised that if anything happened around the forest while she was in the water, she could tell her and she would give Gray Memory another beauty pill and a pill to heal her injuries.
Huiyi knew the effects of these pills. Hearing about the reward, she couldn't help but feel tempted.
In a moment of excitement, I agreed.
After explaining things on shore, Shen Jue went into the water.
Qingfeng was also released by her to loosen up his muscles and bones, as he couldn't stay on her wrist for too long.
After emerging, Qingfeng skillfully cast a bubble shield on Shenjue.
This way, Shen Jue can communicate with him without any problems.
"Qingfeng, you go to the left, I'll go to the right. Let's quickly gather information here and then go up."
Qingfeng nodded and then swam to the left side of the water.
Qingfeng wasn't worried about Shenjue at all; there were no dangerous creatures in this instance.
The bubble shield he gave Shen Jue was enough to help Shen Jue deal with most attacks.
Therefore, with Shen Jue's safety ensured, Qing Feng went on his exploration with peace of mind.
Shen Jue also began to explore the waters on the right.
The bubble shield that Qingfeng spat out did not affect her movements.
The river doesn't appear very wide from the bank, maybe five or six meters wide at most.
I never imagined that the riverbed was so deep.
The deeper you go, the deeper it gets; it feels like it's not just 5 to 6 meters wide, it must be at least tens of meters.
If some big guy were to suddenly appear down there, Shen Jue wouldn't be surprised at all.
Shen Jue continued downwards until he reached the bottom of the water.
After calculating, I realized that I was currently about 100 meters above the water.
When she reached the bottom of the water.
The prompt was triggered again.
(What secrets might lie hidden beneath this mysterious river? Follow the underwater path, and you might just find out what you're looking for.)
Walk along the bottom of the water?
Shen Jue left his special mark on the bottom of this water.
Then they continued forward, leaving the underwater area behind to Qingfeng for the time being, while she explored the area ahead first.
Shen Jue carefully sensed everything around him, and as he walked, he discovered what appeared to be a stone gate underwater ahead.
Shimen?
This is quite a significant achievement.
Shen Jue swam all the way to the stone gate. He left a mark at the spot and continued exploring, as he hadn't finished exploring the underwater area yet.
Exploring the stone gate can wait until last, as the hints indicate there are other things underwater.
The discovery of the stone gate was just an accident; the real secret was another underwater secret.
While Shen Jue was exploring ahead, Qing Feng had already found the source. After completing the task Shen Jue had given him, Qing Feng immediately headed in the opposite direction.
He needed to meet up with his master to report on his underwater discoveries.
Shen Jue arrived at a stone gate, and what was more obvious was that there were no traces of her left on this stone gate.
This is a new stone gate. The previous one could only accommodate a small child to pass through, but this stone gate is much more spacious and can accommodate several adults to pass through together.
The two stone gates lead to different directions.
But Shen Jue wanted to wait a little longer, because not far ahead underwater, there was an unidentified object struggling.
[Side Quest 1: Rescue the NPC trapped in the water plants.]
The quest-based dungeon has finally triggered a quest.
Shen Jue quickly headed to the clump of water plants. What kind of NPC could be trapped by water plants?
Shen Jue felt a little curious, then drew her knife and cut off the root of the waterweed.
The aquatic plants were cut off at the root with a single stroke, and the struggling NPC seemed to sense the change in the outside world.
It continued to struggle, and struggled even more fiercely.
Shen Jue watched as the clump of water plants, like a pupa, slowly shed its grip on the NPC, revealing the trapped NPC.
It's a little lamb! How did it get trapped here?
However, now is not the time to think about these issues. The game system has notified her that she has completed the first side quest of the dungeon, officially triggering the second dungeon quest.
[Second side quest in the dungeon: Obtain the first quest from the NPC.]
