Chapter 46
By the third time logging into the game, Jiang Yunu was already familiar with the operating procedures.
The scene in front of him had not yet become completely clear, and the sensory system was only loaded to about 60%, but Jiang Yunu could already smell the fragrance of grass wafting from the forest grass area, and hear the slight sound of water from the blue lake area.
...Wait, the sound of water?
Jiang Yunu's mind moved, and he suddenly noticed something strange.
She still clearly remembered that last week, when the blue mirror-like lake was first unlocked, she hadn't heard the sound of water in the first half of her game experience.
Even when an earth elemental beast chased out from the bushes, she didn't fight with the "pangolin" by the lake.
The blue lake began to ripple, and there were noticeable waves on the surface of the lake - it started when the water elemental beast was about to land.
"Could it be that I'm about to be greeted with some kind of 'surprise' as soon as I enter the game?"
Jiang Yunu talked to himself.
Her spatula automatically fell into her hand as the loading was completed, and she quickly clenched her hand the next second, becoming extremely defensive.
It turned out that Jiang Yunu's caution was not in vain.
As his feet touched solid ground, Jiang Yunu quickly found himself facing sideways toward the forest area, with most of his back facing the lake, and he was standing in the middle of the lakeshore.
She caught a pair of eyes out of the corner of her eye.
Those eyes were like a pair of light bulbs, staring intently at her figure who had just loaded into the game, and it seemed as if the other party had been waiting for her here for a long time.
Jiang Yunu hadn't even turned around yet - there was no time to turn around. She just used her peripheral vision to "look" at those eyes, not quite meeting them, and the next moment the other party suddenly jumped up, rapidly closing the distance between them!
The lightbulb-like eyes disappeared as they approached Jiang Yunu, and were replaced by a big mouth with extremely strong biting force.
This is a water elemental beast that ambushed Jiang Yunu on the lakeshore.
Seeing the crocodile's gaping mouth nearly reaching her left leg, Jiang Yunu, still practically facing the direction of the attack, gasped softly, feeling her luck at the start of the day was a mystery. But at the same time, her brain seemed to be working independently: one part was lamenting her luck today, while another was working rapidly, quickly determining how to dodge the attack.
This water elemental beast had a bit of a "blocked vision" problem, and Jiang Yunu was unable to fully see its attacking posture. Her only sources of information were the peripheral vision of her eyes, a little air flow behind her, and the sounds made by the other party's actions.
Jiang Yunu moved.
She was sure that it was too late to use the spatula to block it, and the "crocodile" was crawling towards her and the attack point was at a low position, so she simply took a gamble and used her physical fitness to fight the opponent head-on!
Jiang Yunu relied entirely on her intuition. Her right leg, which was slightly farther away from the water elemental beast, became her center of gravity leg, and her left leg, which was about to be attacked, was quickly raised into the air, avoiding the "crocodile's" low bite.
Then the raised left leg fell down quickly!
Jiang Yunu turned her upper body slightly, using her waist and abdomen to generate power. The leg she kicked backwards was like a whip, hitting the nose area on top of the "crocodile's" upper jaw accurately!
The water elemental beast's weak point was attacked, and it immediately stopped for two seconds.
These two seconds were enough for Jiang Yunu to finally turn around and face it head-on.
Jiang Yunu never wastes opportunities when fighting. When she turned around, the spatula in her hand had already adjusted the angle. The moment she turned completely around, the spatula returned to the stage.
Without hesitation, she used the wide shovel to hit the "crocodile"'s nose, and used continuous heavy blows to make the opponent lose the ability to move.
Everything that happened next seemed like a repeat of last week.
Jiang Yunu knelt on the mouth of the water elemental beast that had lost its ability to move, suppressing its big mouth that failed to attack her, and then swung the spatula at the blue crystal core on the other's back.
She removed the crystal core in one go, and the "crocodile" lost its vitality and life force under her legs.
Jiang Yunu let go of the water elemental beast that had completely stopped moving. She held a freshly obtained blue crystal core in her hand. Instead of feeling excited about the harvest, she felt a little confused.
"I really got a 'little surprise' right after entering the game." Jiang Yunu looked down at the water elemental beast's corpse lying on the ground. She had a hunch that something was a little strange, and she couldn't help but wonder, "Is this kind of 'ambush-style' game start also included in the novice trial?"
Is this game so hardcore?
This was the first time that Jiang Yunu had seen such a "novice trial", but on second thought, she didn't know much about the exploration of this world, and this was also the first holographic game she had played.
What if this really is a common situation in this world, and other people's games are just as hardcore, but it's just her first time playing and she's making a fuss?
Jiang Yunu quickly convinced himself again.
She didn't have that much time to continue thinking about this kind of problem.
The game system seemed to increase the difficulty intelligently. Jiang Yunu's experience and conclusion last week was that the system liked to let her take a break after shoveling 3 elemental beasts. When she shoveled 8 elemental beasts of the same type, it would unlock a new elemental beast for her.
Jiang Yunu successfully eliminated a water elemental beast that ambushed her today. She didn't have to wait too long before the next one quickly refreshed, emerging from the lake and coming ashore with its huge mouth with amazing bite force.
As long as Jiang Yunu was not ambushed, she was already very skilled in dealing with this crocodile-shaped water elemental beast.
The second one was also solved without any suspense today.
Then came the third, the fourth...
Jiang Yunu's shoveling skills were very good, and she enjoyed it more and more as the battle went on. She didn't realize that she had "surpassed the shoveling" and seemed to have broken through the previous conclusion of "3 to one rest".
After shoveling off another blue crystal core, Jiang Yunu glanced at the fallen body of "Crocodile" and sighed, "I'm sorry, Brother Crocodile, you've worked so hard to get ashore one by one, but in the end, you become my resources. It sounds a bit like a hellish joke."
She told a very dark joke, not caring whether anyone could hear it - there was not even a single person present.
Jiang Yunu was always accustomed to talking to people, whether they were human or not, alive or not, anytime and anywhere.
She put the blue crystal core into her backpack, and then finally looked around. Only then did she suddenly realize that there were quite a lot of "crocodile" corpses around.
"...Today's refresh rules have also changed?" She was a little confused.
There were obviously more than three water elemental beasts around. Jiang Yunu was in the heat of battle, and the surging adrenaline controlled her attention, making her concentrate on the battle. At this time, she noticed the surrounding environment and stopped to count carefully.
It’s okay if you don’t count, but once you do, you’ll jump.
——She has already eliminated 6 water elemental beasts in a row.
That's double the number of consecutive fights from last week's single streak.
Jiang Yunu was stunned for a moment after counting the corpses on the ground.
In addition to the fact that her continuous combat capability had improved and the system had given her a longer combat time this time, Jiang Yunu was also thinking about another thing.
That's also an important matter.
She has killed 6 water elemental beasts today, and she killed 2 last week. Doesn’t this mean...she has killed a total of 8 water elemental beasts?
Jiang Yunu was just wondering whether it was time to unlock a new elemental beast when a gust of wind suddenly blew towards him.
It was a strong wind that was obviously different from the previous breeze in the forest. The wind was quite strong. In an instant, the blue lake was blown like a crumpled blue paper, and the treetops of the forest grass behind were shaken and the leaves rustled.
Jiang Yunu seemed to sense something. She first faced the direction of the wind, then she took a step and walked towards the direction of the wind.
Jiang Yunu finally crossed the blue lake. She walked around the lakeshore for most of the way and found that there was a small forest on the other side of the lake.
When walking into the grove, Jiang Yunu was a little more vigilant to prevent the game system from suddenly playing tricks on her - such as setting up an ambush for her in the grove, letting the "pangolins" that she had previously defeated 8 of, make a limited return in the woods and give her a surprise attack or something.
But the grove was very quiet.
There was only the sound of the wind.
The grove was small and could be crossed quickly. The sound of the wind turned to a whimper as it passed through the trees, and the wind became stronger.
Jiang Yunu could hear that there seemed to be something very deep and long in front of him, so the wind kept echoing in the narrow area, making it sound like sobbing.
——Behind the woods is a cliff.
Jiang Yunu walked to the edge of the cliff. She lowered her head and looked down. There was indeed a deep ravine below. There was a swirling air rising from the bottom of the ravine. The wind was the strongest when Jiang Yunu came to the edge of the cliff. Her hair was blown up at the edge of the cliff.
Just then, a long cry came from the depths of the ravine.
Some creature's wings vibrated as it flew up quickly from below.
Like a cloud rising rapidly from the bottom of the valley to the edge of the cliff.
Jiang Yunu immediately retreated when she heard the cry, but she was still blown by the wind from the opponent's wings. She staggered slightly, but she quickly regained her balance and stood firm.
A large bird with its wings spread took off on the wind and hovered in the space beyond the cliff in front of her.
Jiang Yunu hadn't even seen clearly where the other party's crystal core was, but based on its appearance, she had already made a judgment about the elemental attribute of this elemental beast - wind.
The answer is so obvious.
The opponent's wings and movement made this question like an open-book exam, with the answer written on the title.
The big bird hovered around, occasionally looking down at Jiang Yunu.
Jiang Yunu was also looking at the other party at the same time. She was still thinking: Wow, how do I fight this thing that flies in the sky and doesn't land?
Jiang Yunu held her spatula in her hand, and suddenly felt deeply that although her small spatula was good, it was really beyond the reach of this "flying system".
But the more "sad" thing is still to come——
Jiang Yunu had just made up his mind and was thinking about trying to lure the opponent down to see if he could pull the wind elemental beast that looked like a big bird to the ground before fighting it.
Suddenly, a translucent pop-up window with a countdown appeared in front of her.
Jiang Yunu: "..."
Oops, I forgot that the four hours of computer time on Saturday are not continuous, but two hours each in different periods!
