Lin Yu and his companions, filled with unknown expectations and hidden worries, once again embarked on a journey of exploration in the dark forest. Their goal was the mysterious golden compass, which was said to be engraved with ancient runes that could guide the direction of hidden treasures and was the key to their obtaining the location of the "Spirit Shadow Grass".
Lin Yu walked ahead of the team, his brow furrowed slightly, his mind racing. On the one hand, he felt a surge of excitement at the successful defeat of the Shadow Panther King and the Wind Wolf; the team's strength had been further validated and enhanced in actual combat. On the other hand, he knew the Dark Forest was fraught with danger, with unknown enemies and challenges poised to emerge at any moment. "Where exactly is this golden compass hidden? What is the purpose of the owner of that mysterious voice?" Lin Yu pondered, warily observing his surroundings.
Su Yao followed closely behind Lin Yu. Although her face was still a little pale, her eyes were more determined. After experiencing the battle with the powerful enemy, she had a deeper understanding of her own defensive capabilities and was more aware of the importance of the team. "No matter what danger we encounter, I will protect everyone." Su Yao clenched her fists and swore silently in her heart. She kept adjusting her state, always ready to deal with possible attacks.
Xiao Yi seemed excited, his eyes gleaming, his weapon gripped tightly. "I wonder what interesting challenges we'll encounter this time. That golden compass might lead us to something incredible!" Xiao Yi muttered to himself, anticipating the upcoming adventure. He longed to demonstrate his prowess once again and contribute to the team's success in the search for the compass.
Lu Ming pushed his glasses up, his eyes gleaming with calmness and wisdom. He observed the surrounding terrain and environment as he walked, trying to find some clues. "The Dark Forest is so vast, finding a small compass is no easy feat. We must remain vigilant and pay attention to every detail," Lu Ming reasoned, pondering the potential dangers and strategies for dealing with them.
Just as they were moving forward cautiously, Xing Lan's voice suddenly rang in Lin Yu's mind: "Lin Yu, the daily sign-in task has been updated. Task content: In the next eight hours, collect three different herbs in the Dark Forest, namely 'Shadow Grass', 'Red Flame Ganoderma', and 'Ice Heart Lotus'. Task reward: 700 experience points and two bottles of primary recovery potion. Task time limit: eight hours."
Lin Yu's heart moved. He knew this was an opportunity to improve the team's strength and might also provide some help in finding the golden compass. "Everyone, listen, the system has issued a new daily check-in task. We have to collect three herbs within eight hours: 'Shadow Grass', 'Red Flame Ganoderma', and 'Ice Heart Lotus'. This will be good for us, so everyone, please pay attention to your surroundings." Lin Yu said.
Everyone nodded and began to observe the surrounding plants more carefully. However, herbs in the Dark Forest were not easily available; they often grew in dangerous places or were guarded by powerful monsters.
Soon after, they came to a dark swamp. There was a foul smell here, and the ground was covered with mud and traps. Lin Yu looked around vigilantly and said, "Everyone, be careful, it looks dangerous here."
Just then, a gigantic swamp frog leaped from the mud. It was two men tall, its skin a sickly green, its eyes gleaming with a fierce gleam. This frog, called the "Poison Swamp Tyrant," had long inhabited the swamp, devouring anything that came near. Its mouth spewed a highly toxic mucus that would kill anyone struck by it.
"Be careful, this is the Poison Swamp King!" Lu Ming shouted loudly. He had seen records about this kind of monster in an ancient book.
Lin Yu quickly cast the "Five Colors Phantom Spirit Technique", and the five-colored light merged with the power of the earth element to form an earth wall, trying to block the attack of the Poison Swamp Tyrant. However, the power of the Poison Swamp Tyrant was very strong. It easily broke through the earth wall, opened its mouth wide, and sprayed a mouthful of highly poisonous mucus towards Lin Yu.
Seeing this, Su Yao quickly put up a defensive shield to block the toxic mucus. However, the shield began to dim under the erosion of the poison. "This poison is very strong, I can't hold on for long!" Su Yao said anxiously.
Xiao Yi brandished his weapon, circled behind the Swamp Tyrant, and slashed at its legs. The Swamp Tyrant roared in pain, then turned and lunged at Xiao Yi. Xiao Yi nimbly dodged the Swamp Tyrant's attacks while continuously launching counterattacks.
Lu Ming was looking for the Poison Swamp Tyrant's weakness. He found that the Poison Swamp Tyrant's abdomen was relatively soft and was its fatal point. "Lin Yu, attack its abdomen!" Lu Ming shouted.
Hearing Lu Ming's reminder, Lin Yu concentrated his mind and unleashed a powerful attack of the "Five-Colored Phantom Spirit Technique". The five-colored light merged with the power of the thunder element to form a lightning bolt, which shot towards the abdomen of the Poison Swamp Tyrant. The Poison Swamp Tyrant was struck by lightning and let out a painful scream. His body shook a few times and he fell to the ground.
After a battle, they successfully defeated the Poison Swamp Tyrant. Xing Lan's voice rang in Lin Yu's mind: "Congratulations, Lin Yu, you have successfully defeated the Poison Swamp Tyrant and gained 300 experience points."
Lin Yu looked at the fallen Poison Swamp Tyrant and breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that this was just a small challenge for them in the dark forest, and there were more dangers waiting for them ahead.
In the swamp, they finally found the "shadow grass", a herb that grows in dark and damp places and has a faint blue light. Lin Yu carefully picked the "shadow grass" and put it in his backpack.
Then, they continued on and came to a hot volcanic area. Here, the magma was rolling, steaming, and the temperature was extremely high. Lin Yu and others felt a strong heat wave, and they had to use their skills to resist the high temperature.
