But now that the main line is right in front of us, we can continue working on it.
As you proceed, look for clues to branch lines.
So after making a decision, Shi Li asked Chu Shisan to continue leading the way and look for the next big ginseng.
I didn’t expect that this journey would take 10 days.
Because the connecting conveyor chains of these large ginsengs are not straight.
On the contrary, there are many twists and turns.
During this period, they also had to look for villages to get some food supplies.
As for the money and supplies, there is no need to worry.
Along the way, they asked the geese to catch some large wild animals and sell them in the village, which was enough to exchange for any supplies they wanted.
It’s no secret that this big goose is quite good at hunting in the wild.
Sheep, rabbit and number 13 are no match for it.
As for the right-hearted party, they have not met any players so far, let alone those from the right-hearted party.
From what Shisan could judge, this incident did not seem to be man-made but accidental.
In other words, it is highly likely that the right-wingers are not the ones causing trouble.
In addition, we also found out some more useful information, most of which was geographical information.
For example, they found out what the place where the mushrooms were during these 10 days was called.
Yes, it has been 10 days and they are still active in the same range as before.
That place is called Luanbinggang.
There gathered a large number of gold-type monsters, a kind of monster with weapons as its body.
They have no intelligence and only know how to kill and fight.
Luanbinggang happens to be located on the only way leading to the outside world, one of the few roads leading to the outside world.
As for clues to the side chain quests, unfortunately, we have not found any yet.
"Judging from the positions of our teammates, we are not far away from them."
"If we continue searching like this, we might get closer and closer."
While eating the warm rice balls he had just bought, Shi Li opened the panel to check.
"Can you please concentrate on driving!!! Don't take your hands off the steering wheel!!!"
Ah Qing next to him was holding a sign, but the words on it were shaking so much that they were almost invisible. Only the exclamation marks were relatively conspicuous and clear.
Each large ginseng is about ten miles away. If you just walk, you can't walk many steps in 10 days.
So Shi Li used his last equipment card and brought out the [Sprinkler Truck].
This car, after many modifications by him, is still a blank E-level card.
But whether it is speed, or speed, or speed, it has been improved many times.
The front of the car has also been reinforced to greatly enhance its collision resistance.
At this time, Shili was galloping in the wild, enjoying the long-lost driving experience.
However, the experience for others, including follower cards, is not that good.
After this experiment, he found that follower cards can also cause motion sickness.
The advantage is that they don't need to eat, so naturally there is nothing to vomit, just dry heaving.
As for whether Ah Qing vomited or not, he didn't know, because even if she did, it would be inside the doll costume.
In short, no one will dirty the car.
[Front, front is suspicious]
At this moment, Chu Shisan squeezed out a word from between his teeth.
Directly in front of the vehicle, there is a small valley.
This kind of environment is also one of the environments suitable for adult ginseng to live in.
Jie!!!!
As a result, Shi Li stepped on the brakes and Ah Qing flew out of the front window of the car.
Plop!
Fortunately, the doll costume provided some cushioning so it didn't fall to its death.
Originally the car had a front glass, but it was damaged long ago.
Because the doll costume is too fat and I can’t wear the safety belt.
The glass windows will only be refreshed when the sprinkler truck is scrapped and summoned again.
"This valley looks a little off."
Ah Qing got up, dusted himself off, and held up the sign.
"Let me take a look and see what's wrong."
Shi Li was several dozen meters away from Ah Qing at this time , so he couldn't see the situation in the valley clearly.
When I walked in, I found that the entrance of the valley was full of thorns.
Moreover, the thorn vines are thick and long, and they block the entrance of the valley in an intertwined manner.
However, this thorn net is not very tight, but the many white skeletons hanging on it make people stop in their tracks.
There are big animals, small animals, and also human-shaped monsters.
[This thorn is a demon beast that specializes in tying up its prey and sucking it dry]
[Since it has no special weaknesses, it is considered a very difficult monster]
Except for Thirteen, everyone recognized the origin of this monster.
They are not ordinary plants. They are rich in water and even difficult to ignite with flames.
At Shi Li's signal, Yangtu approached cautiously.
call out!
When they came within a range of 3 meters, the plants suddenly moved, and pounced on them silently but fiercely.
Fortunately, the sheep rabbit was prepared and stepped back quickly.
And on the way back, he swung the iron rod and broke a thorny vine.
The spiritual energy poured in along the vines and quickly conducted along its body.
After a while, one of the vines withered visibly into a lifeless, brittle body.
It doesn't even need anyone to touch it; it breaks into pieces as it retracts and interweaves with other vines.
"sharp."
Ah Qing sat down on the spot and held up the sign. It originally thought it would have to go on stage and spit fire again.
Next, the sheep and rabbit began to clear the vines one by one in this way.
"This place is actually not far from the demon village."
"But there are such dangerous vine monsters in the valley, I think no one would normally set foot in it."
Shi Li analyzed as he watched.
It took about half an hour before all the vines were finally cleared away.
So the group entered the small valley.
The terrain of this valley is somewhat special.
When they walked in, they found that the ground was sunken, like a big pit.
Shi Li discussed with Ah Qing and decided to climb up the mountain wall first, observe the whole picture from a high place and then make a decision, instead of rashly entering the big pit.
There are also many annoying vines on the mountain walls.
It can be said that their existence covers the entire periphery of the small valley.
Still relying on the sheep and rabbits holding iron sticks, they cleared a path.
There was a layer of fog spreading halfway up the mountain wall, and the fog was particularly thick in their direction.
Therefore, you cannot see clearly what is below you until you reach the top.
But when he took that last step and actually reached the top of the mountain, he was dumbfounded.
Looking down from above, the fog appears slightly thinner.
"I dug an area. What the hell is this thing..."
He looked at the whole picture of the valley below and couldn't help but sigh.
"I knock."
Ah Qing also raised two words.
Shi Li: "This time, we don't have to go out of our way to dig it up."
Because their target, the big ginseng monster, appeared before their eyes in its entirety.
To call it a large ginseng is actually a bit untrue.
Because it should be called giant ginseng.
This one is so fucking huge, dozens of times larger than any large ginseng I’ve ever encountered.
At this moment, it was lying sideways in the valley like a person.
It even has roots that look like arms, supporting its head, making it very anthropomorphic.
Thick golden roots connected its body and penetrated deep into the soil, continuously transmitting to it the demonic energy and nutrients collected from all directions.
It seems that this guy lives a very leisurely life.
[It seems that this monster is their leader]
Except for Thirteen, the final conclusion was made.
"Lord Qiu?"
Ah Qing holds up a sign.
“I think so.”
Although it was a little different from what he had imagined, Shi Li agreed with Shisan's judgment.
If this giant guy is Lord Qiu, then it can be said that the goal of their copy is within reach.
Just kill this guy and the dungeon mission will be completed.
"Do you want to test this guy's ability first?"
So he looked at Ah Qing and suggested.
"good."
Ah Qing raised a sign to agree.
After letting Thirteen stand on a high place and observe carefully, and confirming based on their experience that there were no other unstable and dangerous factors in the valley except the giant ginseng, they returned to the bottom of the valley along the original route.
After a short rest and some repairs, they decided to officially start the war.
The giant ginseng seemed to be asleep at this time, and did not react even when they approached.
I'm ready
After Chu Shisan made the seal, he held a glittering red talisman in his hand.
According to their designated battle plan, Chu Shisan would start with a big move, and then everyone would rush forward and beat him up.
"Go ahead."
Shi Li waved his hand, signaling him to attack.
Whoosh~
As a result, just as Shisan's red talisman was shot out and had not yet hit the giant ginseng and exploded, an unexpected yet not unexpected situation occurred.
Buzz!
A beam of blue light dropped from the sky and landed between them and the giant ginseng, and the card table was immediately spread out.
PVE game, triggered.
"It's the boss indeed."
Ah Qing holds up a sign.
"That's good too. PVE games will be easier."
Shi Li's expression was calm.
"?"
These words made Ah Qing stunned. What was this guy talking about?
The boss card game in the dungeon is notoriously difficult to deal with.
A game in which you can escape is relatively easier to deal with. You can discard a card and start over. It is equivalent to infinite trial and error, and you can slowly explore the skills of the BOSS and develop a strategy.
But the concept of unlimited trial and error itself is not friendly to low-level players like them.
Just think about it, if it takes more than ten or even dozens of trial and error times to fully understand the strategy, would they be willing to discard cards if their decks are not deep enough, or would they have so many cards to discard?
And if it is some special BOSS card game where you can't escape, it will be even more troublesome.
The BOSS will not become weaker just because you can't escape. There is only one chance, and ordinary players can easily be wiped out.
After investing in a dungeon opportunity and spending so much time to complete the prelude quests, you end up falling at the hands of the BOSS. No one can accept this.
This is the situation, and this person dares to say it's easy?
"Don't worry, I'll take you there."
In response to Ah Qing's questioning, Shi Li patted its shoulder.
With X-ray vision, what are you afraid of?
Of course, his plan was to test the BOSS's bottom line.
After checking out its skills, just leave.
Therefore, it doesn’t matter what deck they put out in this round.
As a level 12 player, Ah Qing is certainly no stranger to this kind of discard game.
call out!
When they had set up the card game, the giant ginseng turned into a golden light and fell onto the card table, becoming a projection.
The card slots it occupies are 2 rows and 4 columns, that is, 8 card slots.
When they came to the card table, they could see the appearance of the giant ginseng more directly.
In fact, the appearance is very similar to the previous large ginseng, both are golden and ginseng-shaped.
The difference is that the giant ginseng is more anthropomorphic and has black eyes and a mouth.
To be honest, it looks somewhat like the eyes and mouth of the straw man.
However, the giant ginseng gives people a feeling of laziness and depression.
He looks so lazy that he is even lying down.
Shi Li believed that as long as this BOSS was not as rogue as the previous [Tree Giant] and had dozens or hundreds of skills, it would be easy to defeat it.
This time, see its skills clearly, then discard the cards and run away. When you decide to kill it next time, you can come up with a targeted strategy.
"fortunately ."
After a quick glance, he was completely relieved.
Because this rubbish BOSS has less than five skills.
So now there is only one simple task, look at the skills.
So he stared at the opponent's card, and everything except the card began to blur in his eyes.
The skills of the BOSS gradually became clear.
"Um?"
As a result, when the BOSS skills appeared for the first time, Shi Li was stunned.
What the hell is this?!
【Autumn Master】
Listen to the wind, attack 80, 1000/1000, 0/10
First of all, as expected, this big guy is Lord Qiu.
They didn't pick the wrong target.
As a giant card, its data panel is honestly substandard.
The attack power is okay, 80 points is considered to be the passing line, although it is a bit insufficient for a BOSS card in a copy of this level.
But the key is the blood volume, the blood volume is too little.
With only 1,000 points, he can be killed in a few rounds.
Don’t think that his Sheep, Rabbit and Except Thirteen have become follower cards and cannot be put on the field.
Even if you use other cards, the problem can be solved in minutes.
But... the key... is what this skill is all about!
[Golden Ginseng Shell - Passive]: When Qiu Zhu receives a single damage of less than 100 points, it is regarded as 0
[Leader Temperament - Passive]: Autumn Lord is immune to any negative effects
[Demon Energy Nourishment - Passive]: Qiu Zhu recovers an additional 9 energy points per round
[Replenish Vitality - 1 Energy]: Autumn Lord releases 1000 points of [Healing]
[Ginseng Army - 2 Energy]: Lord Qiu summons 10 ginseng followers to join the battle
"What the hell is going on here?"
Shi Li was completely speechless.
Every one of these skills is extremely exaggerated.
The single damage must not be less than 100, so how can others output?
Then it is immune to negative effects, which is acceptable. Many bosses have similar passive abilities.
But 10 energy points are restored in 1 round. Brother, are you playing the Wind Listening card or the Infinite Wisdom card?
There is also 1000 points of [Healing], and its upper limit of health is 1000 points, which means that no matter how low the blood line is, it can be restored to full in one breath.
The last summoning skill seems normal, but it is not.
10 [Ginsengs], all panels are 50, 500/500, which adds up to 500, 5000/5000!
This is no longer a boss that can be defeated simply by finding out its details.
Even if all the mushrooms were present, they couldn't be killed.
Even if there are 100 straw men, 100 mushrooms, and 100 slimes, we still can’t handle it.
Because there is no difference between 300 of them and 3 of them.
The first one, [Golden Ginseng Shell], alone filtered out almost all the cards.
"Okay, just fold and run away. No need to fight."
Shi Li was the first to discard the white board prepared on the table.
Seeing him do this, Ah Qing followed closely.
It has remembered that Mushroom once mentioned that Shi Li seemed to have some means to know some of the BOSS's skills in advance.
Judging from his current performance, he should have collected some information.
Then, while there was still a little time left in the freeze of time and space, they moved away from Lord Qiu.
By the time Lord Autumn thawed, they had almost reached the valley entrance.
Only Master Qiu was left, still lying on his side in the big pit in the valley, with basically no reaction.
Maybe he was too lazy to move, or maybe he thought what just happened was just a dream.
After coming out, Shi Li roughly explained to Ah Qing what he had seen.
"Is it so exaggerated?"
Ah Qing couldn't believe it.
It’s not that I don’t believe Shi Li, it’s that I can’t believe there would be such an outrageous BOSS.
"I thought this was going to be a very simple dungeon mission, with a very simple boss."
"It turned out to be too naive."
Shi Li sighed, expressing helplessness and confusion.
Fortunately, at this time Ah Qing, who had a little more dungeon experience than him, put forward his own opinion.
"I heard that some bosses are extremely difficult to defeat by force."
"It is necessary to weaken it in advance through some pre-quests for the branch."
“Then we can conquer it smoothly.”
The three lines of words on the small whiteboard gave Shi Li hope again.
"Is there any way to restrain that giant ginseng?"
So he looked at Thirteen.
As a follower card, it has no independent consciousness, so this Fake Except Thirteen is the kind of guy who will only answer if you ask him, and will not speak on his own initiative unless you tell him in advance or ask him questions.
【have】
Sure enough, everyone except Thirteen nodded.
Next, at Shi Li's signal, he began to introduce it to them in detail.
And analyze each of its skills one by one, and give countermeasures for other skills except [Leader Temperament].
First, it is the [Golden Ginseng Shell].
The strong shell of this type of wood monster often needs to be broken by gold-based items.
If we can find the right sharp metal, then the problem can be easily solved.
Then, [Nourish the demonic energy].
Its source is Lord Qiu's numerous subordinates who are deployed over a vast area.
If you want to block its evil spirit, you need to clear out as many large ginsengs as possible.
This is a real job that takes a lot of time and manpower.
The large ginseng they cleaned up in the past few days, judging by the size of Master Qiu, might be only about 1/10 of the total amount.
In other words, it may take 100 days to clear out the ginseng population.
Moreover, if too many younger brothers were killed, it might arouse Lord Qiu's vigilance and he would run away.
Of course, from a normal perspective, this is a good thing for poker players.
Since Lord Qiu ran away, it means that the copy mission has been completed.
But it was obvious that Shi Li did not intend to do so.
Because he believed that killing Lord Qiu would increase the chance of Lord Qiu appearing in his card pool.

[Mission 1, Survive] (2)
Straw Man: "I'm so hungry, grass!"
Mushroom: "Mushroom knock, this time its pieces fell very scattered... wooooa ...
Strawman: "Where are you?"
Mushroom: "Down there! I'm down there! There's a big hole here! Mushroom!"
