The Great Stranglethorn Vale is located in the southwest of the Southern Tombstone.
This place is vast.
There are many mountains and valleys.
The southeast sides are close to the sea.
To the north is the miasma that poisoned Roger and turned him into a "Splatoon".
The climate here is very humid.
Very suitable for the growth of certain plants.
Roger spent a few days finding out the situation nearby.
There are indeed many rampaging thorns active .
It's just that these guys are distributed more scattered.
Each runaway thorn has its own activity area.
They do not infringe upon each other.
This situation caught Roger's attention.
In the Little Stranglethorn Vale.
The runaway thorns he encountered were not like this.
In order to better kill monsters.
Roger habitually conducted a round of "monster habit investigation" before taking action .
There are three main findings.
…
First.
The Rage Thorn is definitely not a social monster.
Than appearing in groups.
They prefer to be alone and give the injection secretly.
…
second.
Weaknesses.
Although this thing is a plant, its weakness is not fire, but "sharp weapons" -
The former is because the climate here is humid.
Their branches are all wet.
Very difficult to start a fire.
The latter means that the Red Moon, an extremely sharp and extraordinary weapon, is simply their biological father.
…
third.
Although the raging thorns are not afraid of fire.
But I hate fire very much!
Encounter a fire.
They will instinctively move away.
…
The third feature perfectly explains what happened in Little Stranglethorn Vale -
At that time, the female assassin was about to reach the cliff.
As a result, he was stabbed down with an injection by his good brother.
Roger always thought he was lucky.
Actually, this is not the case.
There is a clear cause and effect relationship behind all this:
At that time, there were already many rampaging thorns active in the Little Stranglethorn Vale.
In order to eliminate the Withered Cultists, Roger chose fire attack.
The fire that spread throughout the valley left the Wandering Thorns homeless.
I could only passively hide on top of the cliffs.
in this case.
As long as the female assassin chooses to climb up.
You will definitely get stabbed!
This situation was created by Roger alone.
So it was he who personally stabbed the assassin in female costume.
It also makes sense.
…
Figure out the habits of good brothers.
It is equivalent to finding a set of efficient monster spawning formulas——
"Suitable terrain" + "Just the right fire attack" + "Iron Armor Series" + "Red Moon Spreading Across the Prairie" equals a stable harvesting opportunity once a day!
Very quickly.
Roger started to follow the instructions.
Anyway, the Great Stranglethorn Vale is rarely visited.
He can do whatever he wants.
It turns out.
The formula for killing monsters is indeed very effective.
Just a few days.
The relevant progress bar has reached halfway.
If it weren't for "Liaoyuan", it could only be released once a day.
Roger has already started looking for his next good brother.
…
A week later.
In the underground camp.
After finishing the official monster hunting for the day.
Roger received two letters from Ugu.
One of the two letters was from Sisko.
The other was from Shar.
He thought about it.
He casually opened the letter from Cisco.
…
"God Killer" was mentioned in the letter.
After breaking up with Roger.
He has been working hard to find clues about the King of Withering.
In recent days.
Sisko discovered something unusual southwest of the Union Farm.
There is said to be a cursed tomb there.
Many terrifying monsters are sealed in the tomb.
There is evidence to show.
The entrance to the secondary plane where the Withering King hides himself is in the tomb.
He thought Roger would be very interested in this news.
He wrote long paragraphs to describe the strange things about the entrance to the tomb.
I have to say.
Sisko's writing is good.
A letter can be read as a novel.
Roger watched with great interest.
I am also curious about the mausoleum he described.
…
In comparison.
Shar's letter was much more concise and clear.
The sorceress wrote only one line on the paper:
…
"Guests from Kuinan Star"
…
After reading.
Roger ordered decisively:
"Write back to Sisko and tell him not to act rashly."
"Just keep looking for clues about the Withered King or the New Spring Church."
Ugwu nodded.
"What about Ms. Shar?"
Roger pondered for a moment:
"Tell her."
"I will go to see her the day after tomorrow at the latest. No... I will go to see her the day after tomorrow."
…
Two days later in the early morning.
In the canyon illuminated by fire.
The restless monsters were forced into a ball.
In the thick fog .
Roger, who was wrapped in the "Iron Armor Suit 2.0", suddenly swung his sword!
The 40-meter-long prairie fire immediately pierced the darkness.
By the way, this group of brothers also went to the underworld together in a lively manner.
on the data bar.
…
"You have killed 1 Rage Thorn, and have killed 2021 Rage Thorns in total."
…
"You gained 20 XP"
…
"You have gained a small amount of aura effects: Thorn Field (cannot be upgraded)"
…
"You have completed the eleventh sin mark and obtained the expertise: Photosynthesis"
…
"ha?"
If it weren't for real vision.
Roger even thought he was dazzled.
…
"Photosynthesis (Species Specialty): Under sufficient light and water conditions, your body can produce a small amount of energy through 'photosynthesis';
The energy produced by photosynthesis can only sustain your minimum life needs.
…
See here.
Roger's heart moved, and he took the initiative to activate this strange species' specialty.
Next second.
A mysterious power surged within him.
Under the influence of this force.
Roger just felt that the hair follicles all over his body began to itch!
After a while.
His hair turned into dark green branches that hung down.
The sweat hairs on the back of my hands also turned into light green moss.
As for the hair in certain unspeakable parts.
It has turned into dense algae.
…
"Hint: Your current character status is half plant"
…
"Hint: You can now produce energy through photosynthesis!"
…
“Ah, this…”
Before Roger could complain himself, a new prompt appeared on the data column.
…
"You have achieved a new milestone by changing the species status for the first time. The first time a young person turns green"
…
"Young people's first time turning green: look at this color, so healthy and environmentally friendly"
…
"Corresponding title: New Vegetative (Minotaur Favorability +20)"
…
"The Mark of Sin has finally come up with a mediocre specialty?"
Ignore the malicious milestone system.
Roger pondered this for a moment.
I still think this expertise is useless.
Unless you encounter extremely harsh environments.
He no longer has .
They need photosynthesis to survive.
But this possibility.
It can only be said to be negligible.
"It can be used in conjunction with "Immortal Hibernation" to extend the hibernation period..."
This was the only use Roger could think of.
…
Fortunately, although the expertise doesn't seem very impressive.
But the attributes given by the rampaging thorns are already overbearing enough.
The "Thorn Force Field" with the halo special effect fully activated can rebound 40% of the physical power!
Currently, Roger's aura radius is 5 meters.
Within the halo range.
All enemy units will be affected equally.
The harder you hit.
The more fierce the bullet.
And it will also harm your companions.
Combined with the 10% damage reduction effect, plus the 5-piece Asgard suit that I have now assembled -
It's simply too beautiful to look at.
If Roger's physique and life were a little higher.
He can even consider switching to the blood cow flow!
…
After taking care of the rampaging thorns in one wave.
Roger rushed back to the Gem City without stopping.
There is a lot of information hidden behind the sorceress's letter——
Shar must have a lot to say to Roger.
These words must be related to the "visitors from Quinan Star".
But she didn't write it in the letter.
This means that the matter is very likely related to the extraordinary wizard or fortune teller -
She did this to reduce the probability of being predicted.
It is also possible that it was to attract Roger's attention.
He recalled the information about "Quinan" that the gentleman cat Hediwala revealed to him in the virtual world.
Roger's uneasiness grew stronger.
…
That evening.
Floating island No. 4.
In Shar's castle.
Roger listened to the sorceress's narration with an expressionless face.
In Shar's slightly flustered tone.
The shocking news behind the message "Visitors from Kuinan Star" then surfaced -
…
Three days ago.
In the southern ruins of the Red Earth Wasteland.
Suddenly a huge planet portal appeared!
Some red-robed mages walked out of the portal.
They set up a camp near the ruins.
The monitoring eye of Mount Truth discovered this matter at the first time.
The mage army set out immediately.
There was a brief standoff between the two sides.
After that .
Old Bard had a secret conversation with the leader of the red wizards.
After the conversation.
The mage army retreated to the Mountain of Truth.
One day later.
The portal disappeared.
The red-robed wizards stayed.
With the tacit approval of the top leaders of the Truth Society.
These outsiders began to travel frequently between Mount Truth and the ruins.
This had a great impact on the order on the floating island.
Just when everyone was discussing secretly.
yesterday.
Old Bud suddenly announced his retirement.
This time.
The Truth Society was in complete disarray.
No one knows what Old Bard talked about with the leader of the red wizards.
During these two chaotic days.
Shar only figured out two things.
…
First.
This group of red-robed wizards came from another planet, "Quinan".
second.
They were following the orders of a highly prestigious mage lord.
I came here specifically to look for someone.
Or the same thing.
…
"Do you know what they're looking for?"
After listening.
Roger asked calmly:
"Or, do you know the name of that Mage Lord?"
Shar said uncertainly:
"I overheard the red-robed wizards talking about it privately."
"It seems to be "Will" or "Wei"..."
"Hmm."
"It could also be that..."
"Wylan?"
Hear this name.
There was no change in Roger's expression.
But there is new movement in the data column.
…
"The player's inner demon 'Veylan' has been detected. Do you want to initiate challenge mode?"
…
