Next is [Replenishing Vitality].
Most of the monsters with super recovery abilities belong to the wood element.
This area nearby originally belongs to the wood monster's territory, so there must be better ways to target them locally.
Local area refers to the nearest city or county, and the demon-killing house within it.
So they can go to the demon house for help and get the method to restrain the giant ginseng's recovery ability.
The last one is puppet summoning, and you can also seek help from the Demon Extermination House.
Go there to borrow some magical tools or talismans or something.
As for the method of getting rid of the demon's house, Shi Li thought it would be a good idea.
Anyway, Chu Shisan is here, so just swipe his face.
If I remember correctly, this guy's rank among the demon hunters is quite high.
So the next step is to develop an action plan.
As for the sharp metal object, Shi Li had no idea what to do.
However, Chi Shisan also told him that this kind of thing might be easier to collect in places where golden monsters gather.
As for the nearest place that meets the requirements, it is naturally the Luanbing Post where the mushrooms are staying.
"I see. In that case, perhaps the reason why they were sent there by the copy is to find the sharp gold object?"
Suddenly I realized.
"Maybe we need to survive in there long enough, or find some clues, before we can start the next stage of the mission."
Ah Qing thinks so.
Now they have reached stage 4 of the task here, but the task over there is still at stage 1, with no progress at all.
"But the nearest city is on the other side."
Shi Li held his chin and fell into thought.
"Why don't we split up? I have my own vehicle."
Ah Qing hurriedly raised the sign.
I don’t know how long it will take to go to the mushroom garden to look for the sharp gold item.
It would be more efficient if both sides acted simultaneously.
It still has a chance to use an equipment card, so it can make a small electric scooter.
In short, I don’t want to ride in a sprinkler truck anymore.
"Okay."
Shi Li agreed to the plan.
However, we need to think again about who goes where.
Finally, after much discussion, Shi Li took the sheep, rabbit and goose to the Luanbing Post, while Ah Qing took Chu Shisan to the Demon Mansion to ask for help.
Because Yangtu needs to use the iron rod to have the ability to exorcise monsters, it would be more convenient for him to follow Shi Li.
Otherwise, when he needs to use the iron rod and retracts it, the sheep and rabbit in the distance will be useless.
As for bringing the big goose, it was because it was expected that a battle would break out at Luanbinggang, and bringing it along would add a bit of combat power. Also, there was limited space on Ah Qing's electric scooter, and he didn't want to squeeze in another big goose.
And so, the two sides parted ways.
It was agreed that the party who finished first would wait in the Giant Ginseng Valley.
Shi Li drove the sprinkler truck to the Luanbing Post.
Ah Qing took Chu Shisan with him to the nearest demon-hunting house.
Before setting off, Shi Li specifically instructed Chu Shisan to follow A Qing's instructions and arrangements, and he thought there should be no problem.
As for Ah Qing, he asked him to help keep an eye out for any information about the sword spirit.
As for the other purpose of this copy, to defeat the monster card, he didn't have any special ideas for the time being.
You can't just go find a few demon hunters or demon hunters to kill and thereby increase the probability of their appearance in the card pool, right?
However, if necessary, I can drive to the Demon-Exterminating House. If I drive at full speed, it won’t take too much time.
This time coming to this world, it’s different because of the vehicle.
If it had happened last time, Shi Li estimated that it would take him a day or two to reach the Luanbing Post.
But now, it's here within an hour.
"This terrain is not easy to drive on."
When they arrived at the destination, Shi Li stuck his head out of the car window.
His geographical location at this time was relatively high. Looking around, this place was a little different from what he had imagined.
I originally thought that Luanbinggang was just a hill or something, but it turned out to be a series of hills and mounds.
It was also covered with a thin mist, making it impossible to see what was going on inside.
No wonder the mushrooms haven’t been able to come out after more than 10 days.
It is not convenient to drive a sprinkler truck in this kind of terrain because there are too many ups and downs.
Especially if there are a lot of downhills, it is easy to feel the urge to urinate, which may be bad for the prostate... and the body.
So I got out of the car and put it away.
He led the sheep, rabbits and geese into the hilly area.
"This fog is a bit strange."
When he walked into the fog, he realized that it was foggy from the outside.
But inside, it doesn't seem so obtrusive and visibility has become much higher.
But the light was oddly gloomy, considering it was a clear .
Here, there is only haze above our heads, which makes the atmosphere inexplicably depressing.
Sure enough, choosing not to drive here is a wise move.
Because every ten meters or so, you can see some complete or incomplete weapons, stuck upside down in the soil or stones.
But they look like just some ordinary weapons.
Moreover, most of them have been rusted, and some have even been rusted to the point where their outlines are blurred, which must be due to their age.
I don’t know why such an environment was formed.
If a sprinkler truck accidentally scratches your tire, there is a risk of a tire blowout.
If the equipment is damaged, you will have to wait for a cooldown period before you can summon it again, which is not worth it.
“You can never go wrong by searching through the teammate position panel.”
After opening the panel, he wanted to confirm the location of the mushrooms again.
It turned out that the map panel seemed to be broken.
Whether it was Ah Qing or Mosaichou, their locations had all disappeared.
In this case, it is inevitable that it will be troublesome to find someone.
【Geese, geese, geese! 】
However, just after he took a few steps, the big goose suddenly called towards Shi Li.
Like Chu Shisan, it was also entrusted to Shi Li by A Qing.
Alerted by it, Shi Li and Yangtu stopped and found a big rock, hiding behind it and observing the front.
After a while, a tall figure came into view from a distance.
"What the hell is this?"
Although he had seen some monsters before, Shi Li was still amazed at the appearance of this monster.
This looks like a knife.
But it doesn't look like a knife used by humans or monsters.
Instead, it looks like... a knife used by a giant.
Because when it stands up, it is already 2 meters long.
The key point is that this thing has hands and feet.
It has no facial features, and the blade is as bright as a mirror, but you can see many rust spots.
At this time, its steps seemed to be random, moving forward slowly.
"Go test its level."
Shi Li winked at Yangtu.
【Mee-zha~! 】
Yangtu responded and rushed out.
1 minute later.
Bang!
The sword demon broke into several pieces and scattered all over the ground.
Judging from the course of the battle, this thing isn't too strong.
Even Ah Qing's big goose could probably fight it in a one-on-one fight and not lose.
In general, it is more powerful than ordinary wild monsters, but far inferior to large ginseng.
You know, those big ginsengs can withstand the attack from Sheep Rabbit and Chu Shisan and won't be defeated quickly.
"Not very powerful, but it does have some power over the straw man."
Shi Li finally analyzed why the mushrooms could not escape for a long time.
First of all, the terrain is blocked by fog, and there seems to be some interference here, making the map panel invalid.
Then there is this kind of monster, which is more restrained against the straw man and will greatly limit the straw man's combat power.
As for Mushroom, let alone the Mushroom Man follower cards it releases, they are more likely to be cut by the opponent.
Walk forward and pick up one of the sword demon fragments.
"I don't think this thing can be called a sharp gold item."
After drawing so many material cards, Shi Li has already developed a certain level of vision.
This fragment of the sword demon is not of good quality at first glance.
Remember where you came from, and then randomly find a direction to go.
Soon, they encountered the monster again.
But this time, Shi Li didn't dare to act rashly.
Because what appeared on the opposite side was actually a group of monsters.
There are sword monsters, knife monsters, spear monsters, and axe monsters, totaling more than a dozen weapons.
Like the sword monsters before them, they seemed to have no souls and could only wander around.
After bypassing the team, Shi Li changed direction.
In this way, he searched in Luanbinggang for half a day but found nothing.
Until he encountered a monster whose shape and style were very different from the ones here.
The monster was shaped like a cat and had a petite body.
Then the two ears and tail are actually mushroom-shaped.
"No, this isn't a monster, right?"
Shi Li reacted quickly.
【Mushroom meow! 】
Sure enough, after seeing Shi Li and his companions, the cat ran away.
When he heard the beast's cry, he understood the situation and waved his hand.
"Chase!"
【Mee-zha~! 】
【Geese, geese, geese! 】
So they all quickly chased the cat on the hill.
This cat is quite fast. To be honest, if it were replaced by those sword monsters or saber monsters, they would definitely not be able to catch up with it.
Even with the physical strength bonus of the iron rod, Shi Li still had a hard time catching up.
Add to that the various obstacles along the way, and it becomes even more difficult to keep up.
Fortunately, there are nimble sheep and rabbits that easily overcome various obstacles and stay firmly behind.
If Shi Li gave the order, she could even capture the cat.
Gradually, the Mushroom Cat and the Sheep and Rabbit disappeared into the distance.
Shi Li stopped panting and waited for a while, then came the even more panting goose.
Following the direction they disappeared, the man and the goose slowly followed.
About half an hour later, Sheep Rabbit came back.
Although her breathing was heavy, it remained steady, worthy of a martial artist.
After Yangtu explained the whole process clearly, he led Shi Li to the middle of a hill.
There he saw button mushrooms.
There is also a slime that survived unexpectedly, but for some reason, it always feels like the slime has shrunk a lot, only half its usual size.
"Here, here! Mushroom-da-da!"
Seeing Shi Li, Mosaichu waved his short hands excitedly.
Originally, it released the follower card to investigate the situation, but it unexpectedly attracted sheep and rabbits.
When they saw the sheep and rabbits, they knew that Shi Li was not far away.
"What is the situation now?"
Shi Li looked around and found no trace of the straw man.
Mushroom: "Don't ask so many questions, just come in quickly."
Slime: "Time is running out, Master!"
Yigu and Yishi made way, and Shi Li saw a hole extending vertically downwards.
The cave walls are smooth and there are no stress points.
He stretched his head and looked down. It was about 5 meters high.
There is a ladder at the entrance of the cave.
The ladder is made of various weapons, and the nodes are tied together with strips of green grass.
The color of this grass looks familiar.
"You dismembered the straw man?"
He made a tactical retreat.
"What are you talking about!"
Mushroom climbed down the ladder.
The Slime followed closely behind, but it didn't crawl, it just flowed.
After everyone was in the cave, Mushroom put away the ladder.
At this time, Shi Li finally saw the straw man.
"You're here, grass."
At this moment, this guy was just lying flat on the ground, looking as if he had lost all desire to live.
As soon as he saw its state, Shi Li understood.
This guy probably drank all the milk tea, which led to hypoglycemia.
A hungry straw man may not even be as powerful as a mushroom.
No wonder they couldn’t escape. Without the straw man’s fighting power, they might even be killed if discovered by the monsters outside.
Moreover, they probably don't have B-level cards yet. If ordinary C-level cards don't have any means to defeat monsters, there's no guarantee that they can defeat sword monsters and knife monsters.
"What's going on in this place? It's a different world."
After looking around, Shi Li discovered that this hill was a little different; it was actually hollow.
There is a strange bubble-like glowing object placed against the wall. It seems to be someone 's card and is used for lighting.
"Hush."
But Mosaichou signaled him not to speak for the time being.
Shi Li frowned and could only remain silent.
Just like that, everyone stood quietly in the cave for a long time.
Just when he was about to ask, he suddenly heard a sound coming from outside.
【Clang! Clang! 】
【clang clang! 】
【clang clang clang! 】xN
He had heard this sound before; it was the special cry of those metal monsters.
Before long, the voices came to the edge of the cave.
And as more and more people gathered together, the sound became more and more obvious.
As time goes by, the number of voices increases.
There were so many that Shi Li couldn't tell how many monsters there were outside, and estimated that there might be hundreds of them.
He now understood why he had to keep silent. If he were discovered, he would be able to go home, take a hot shower and order takeout in just a few minutes.
This situation lasted for nearly half an hour before the monsters outside slowly dispersed.
"Around this time every day, these monsters gather outside."
Before Shi Li could ask, Slime explained: "But they never come in, so it's still safe in there, Bo."
"As for the reason why they gathered here, we don't know."
"It feels like they are attracted by something and are a little bit awed by it."
After saying that, Mosaichu spread out his hands.
"Is there anything strange in this cave?"
Shi Li looked around carefully again and found that the cave was plain and empty.
"Well...if you put it that way, it's not impossible."
Mushroom was the first one to fall.
"When it fell, there was a piece of glowing metal in the hole."
"That thing was very sharp and it scratched my butt."
As it spoke, it showed Shi Li its back.
At the bottom of its back, there is actually a scar that cannot heal.
"Are you sure this isn't your...eye?"
Shi Li thought of a phrase, something like "a little knife pulling the butt" or something.
"Of course not! Mushroom!"
"Mushroom people use their belly buttons to excrete!"
Mushroom knew what he was talking about and looked annoyed.
“…”
After spending so much time with mushrooms, it was the first time that Shi Li knew that mushrooms had such a physiological structure.
"You might as well admit that the cut is your eye."
But he thinks that from a human perspective, using the belly button to excrete is disgusting.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Where is the metal fragment you mentioned?"
In fact, he doesn't really care about the physiological structure of mushroom people.
Because just like the straw man and slime, it cannot be understood by human common sense.
"I thought this thing might be a little special, and I was afraid of losing it, so I hid it."
Mushroom said this as he walked over to the straw man and pried open its head.
He took out a piece of metal fragment about one-third the size of a palm.
"..., hiding there, aren't you afraid of scratching the scarecrow's brain?"
"It doesn't even have a brain, not even me."
"What are you talking about? I'm going to beat you up, damn."
During the conversation, Shi Li took the piece of debris.
It was just as Mushroom said, it was emitting a strange metallic glow.
But it doesn't look sharp.
So I wanted to touch it with my fingertips.
“Tsk.”
Unexpectedly, before it touched, a sharp aura suddenly emerged from it.
The light cut through the fingertips, and blue liquid immediately flowed out.
Shi Li felt pain in his finger and subconsciously threw it to the ground.
"Be careful, this thing can cut people."
Mushroom showed him his back again.
"Knock, why didn't you say so earlier."
Shi Li was about to say something, but suddenly he felt his right arm getting hot.
Looking down, I found that it was Sword Soul Wood's tattoo that was glowing.
And the color of that light seemed to be the same as the metal fragments on the ground?
Could this be a piece of sword fragment, and is there a sword spirit hidden inside?
In an instant, Shi Li thought of something.
[Who… woke me up…]
The next second, the metal fragments on the ground actually made a sound like talking.
Then a blurry figure emerged from the surface of the debris.
However, it was obscured by the halo, and no details could be seen, only a human figure.
"It can't be such a coincidence, is there really a sword spirit?"
This situation made Shi Li raise his eyebrows.
The figure stood in the cave and looked around.
Finally, the sight seemed to fall on the Slime.
What a perfect body!
[Can I borrow it for next time? ]
"Eh?"
Slime was stunned.
Before anyone could react, the figure turned into a ray of light and poured into its body.
Snap!
As a result, the Slime's body seemed unable to bear it and exploded on the spot.
This time it was not so lucky to leave enough fragments, and the remaining fragments began to gradually turn into blue light and dissipate.
[Ding Dong! ]
[Slime, OUT! ]
[Slime, OUT! ]
Mushroom: "I just said that I always felt like there was something missing."
Strawman: "Game start, straw!"
Shi Li: “…”
