Chapter 16: Winnie the Pooh Falls into the Honey Pot
The next day, the official website prompted a two-hour update from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m., and it happened that we had a more important exam subject in the morning, and after the big class in the morning, we rushed to the supermarket to reduce the price, bought some daily necessities and food and rushed back to the dormitory, hurriedly solved the lunch, and then boarded the game separately, and couldn't wait to see what was updated.
With the helmet on, it's still a burst of light from dark to light, and then there's a short first-person animation, but it's all a brief introduction pieced together with some updates, and there's nothing new about it other than a beautiful sense of presence.
After the animation ends, piles of petals scatter in front of you, and the petals scatter and fall, and suddenly gather flowers into spirits, forming the appearance of a fairy; Then the petals unfolded instantly, and the fairy who had just entered the game appeared in front of him again.
Competing for the marquis of the country,
eternal butterfly dream,
The origin of the wind and the fall of flowers as flowers,
The dust is quiet, the clouds are annihilated, and the cold is cold.
……
Her appearance is still to use a Xianxia-style background music to praise a dreamlike poem, and the ethereal overlapping sounds are resounding, which makes people involuntarily intoxicated.
"Do you want to update the boot?"
A waving brush appeared in front of me, and after a wave of writing, an ink-style selection interface came out, and I still chose to skip without much patience, and then clicked on the no option, and the white light flashed in front of me, and I returned to the familiar Yinxian Village.

After the game was updated, I suddenly noticed that my HP and defense had increased a lot.
During class, I used my mobile phone to log in to the official website to check the updated content, saying that it was to make a clear differentiation of each class and make the uniqueness of the game richer.
After the update, necklaces, rings, earrings, bracelets and four jewelry slots and an arm slot have been added, counting the initial top, belt, bottoms, shoes, head, left and right hands, and left and right arms should have 12 equippable parts, and the original single bracer has also been changed to two-handed equipment by default after the update, and occupies two equipment slots on the left and right arms.
In terms of attributes, stamina, intelligence, and comprehension have been added, corresponding to defense, MP, and magic damage, respectively.
Now that I'm ready, it's time for me to take care of what I've been thinking about.
Valley of Poisonous Insects.
After half an hour of hiking, I arrived at the mouth of the valley of poisonous insects, standing at the mouth of the valley and looking at it, the environment was very different from what I imagined, on the way to the road I imagined all kinds of barren and barren, poisonous miasma of vicious environment, but the result of this area in front of me is full of vitality, green reality, but I was shocked.
Trees of different heights grow in the valley, and the green grass stretches wide underfoot, and many flowers and plants of various colors are scattered here; Many green and red creepers crawled on the edge of the cliff, as if they had added a thick hair to the earthy yellow mountain wall; There are also some vines with thorns hanging from it, and the sinuous vines hang down from the ground, blending in with the meadow, and it is difficult to find their roots.
Outside the valley, a faint breeze quietly swept away, the wind blew over my head, shaking my messy hair, and the flowers and plants in the valley also swayed with the breeze; On the luxuriant trees, the subtle sound of the leaves dragged by the branches is intertwined into a river, making a roaring sound like ocean waves, but it is different from the turbulent surging of the sea, this tranquil atmosphere, more like walking barefoot in the cool stream in the hot summer season, soft and pleasant, such a beautiful place, away from the birds and flowers, it is just a bird song, presumably there is some hidden factor in the valley, so that the whole valley has never seen a living thing.
While I was intoxicated, a swallow in the distance seemed to be seduced by this beautiful scenery, stretched its handsome wings and brushed my cheeks, and rushed straight into the valley.
I saw that the swift swallow had just crossed the edge of the Poisonous Insect Valley and the outside world, and suddenly seemed to be choked from breathing, and its wings began to flapped wildly, struggling to fly upwards, but its strength seemed to be gradually drained, and after struggling to no avail, it let out a desperate cry and fell into the valley......
!!! Poisonous!!!
Sure enough, the dangers lurk beneath the gorgeous surface.
I took a deep breath and stepped into the Valley of Poisonous Insects, and as soon as I entered, I smelled a strange fragrance, and then the word "MISS" floated above my head.
Perfect!
The old lady asked to find the Zhenluo grass, but I don't know what the actual herbs look like, what color, a few leaves, these clues used to find are not at all, at that time I always thought that the Valley of Poisonous Insects was a barren land, if there are really rare herbs, it will definitely be able to see at a glance, and it should not be difficult to find; But after getting through the harsh conditions of entering, I found that the search for this herb is the most difficult point, as far as the flowers and plants I see in front of me do not know the appearance, looking for the Zhenluo grass is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.
I kind of regret that I didn't ask clearly......
But if you go back now, it will only be a waste of time, so it's better to go in and fight monsters and upgrade, and find task materials by the way.
Thinking like this, I walked forward, while using my weapon to play back and forth with the strange flowers and plants along the way, one is to find task items, and the other is to see if I can easily get some herbs, herbs can play a very important role in the middle and late stages, if you get some magic herbs or something, it is more likely to refine the best elixir, even if you don't use it yourself, sell it, it will definitely be a lot of income.
……
Phantom Grass: Grade 2 quality, exudes a strange smell, this herb is often born with botulinous insects, and the exotic fragrance of its flowers can paralyze the surrounding animals, causing them to lose their ability to move, so that they can be swallowed by the botulinous insects, and the residual blood will be absorbed as nutrients.
Before I walked out of a hundred meters, I found a slim pink bouquet standing there, although the phantom grass was only two or three inches high, but the straight branches were covered with several layers of leaves, and the thick mesophyll was also tinged with a faint scarlet.
Although I hadn't studied the game's alchemy mechanics, I knew that it was right to see the herbs digging, so I quickly put away my sword, fearing that I would accidentally scratch the rare herbs, and stretched out my hands to grope for the roots of the ground, trying to keep the medicine body intact as much as possible.
“-20”
Suddenly, a small stabbing pain came from my fingertips without warning, and I withdrew my hand with a frightened swish, and quickly drew my iron sword.
I saw that in the dirt next to the phantom grass, a beetle with flesh as big as a bowl turned out of the ground, and used its small body to face the huge me in front of me.

Magic Attack: 50
Physical Defense: 100
Magical Defense: 40
Speed: 15
Skill:
[Poison]: Adds vicious venom when attacking, causing the target to continue to take poison damage for a certain period of time.
Immune to its vaunted poisoning effects, I've become an invincible Grim Reaper to it.
With a disdainful sword, he picked away the insects that were trying to bite my shoes at his feet.
“-270”
Physical attacks completely crush its physical defenses, and even a single understatement is deadly to it, and the benefits of silver-tier weapons allow me to do whatever I want against cross-level monsters.
After only a few attacks, the terrifying amount of 1300 blood has been cut into empty strips by me, and what surprised me even more was that the experience reward of killing monsters at level 3 brought me unimaginable.
"Gain XP *400", which is almost as good as the benefits of a mission.
Shaking off the green slime stained from my sword, I bent down to continue my interrupted picking.
"Item Acquired: Phantom Grass*1"
There was a pink plant lying quietly in the palm of his hand, and after successfully picking the herbs, the thick leaves on the phantom grass quickly withered and fell off, leaving only a smooth branch and the small flower on the top.
I took it to my nose and sniffed it, the faint scent was like a rose, and after imitating the example of the literati, I put the Phantom Grass in my backpack with my backhand, raised my long sword, and continued to explore.
Before I could take a few steps, a dry swallow carcass on the ground caught my attention.
Isn't that the swallow just now!
I flicked the dead swallow with my iron sword, because there was no muscle pull, so its feathers were scattered all over the ground, and what I was curious about was the degree of corruption of this swallow, even if the valley was really filled with corrosive gases, it should be a corpse to rot, but the body of the swallow in front of me was more like it had been sucked dry.
"Shhh
A slender worm as big as a bench suddenly burst out of an inscrutable hole beneath the swallow's carcass and swooped down on my calf, a pair of palm-sized claws pinched in front of my leg.

Stinging Venom: Charges for two seconds and unleashes a surprise attack on enemies within a three-meter radius, dealing extra damage and inflicting Poison Weakness.
To tell the truth, the monsters in the Valley of Poisonous Insects are indeed much stronger than the monsters of the same level outside, but this comparison of strength and weakness is not an attribute gap, but the situation caused by that skill is different, and I have to be careful to avoid the attack of the level 15 wolf cat, and the wolf cat has no skills, so the problem is just defense; But the poisonous insects here are different, they embody more of a threat because of the poisoning effect.
Of course, I completely ignored these things with full abnormal resistance, and without the disgusting harassment of poisoning, this place that seemed to others became my paradise, where I was a bear that fell into a honeypot.
Because of the habit of burrowing insects, I can only use the minesweeper-style method to actively search, and the surprisingly high explosion rate has gradually allowed me to accumulate a lot of currency.
【Wind Boots】:

"Wowhaha!"
Just when I was happily rising to level 13, the botulinous insect I killed exploded a pair of shoes, and I quickly replaced my stumbling straw sandals, and I couldn't help but feel a little proud when I stepped on comfortable feet.
The sun has turned to the west, and the originally bright surroundings have gradually become darker, the shadows of the trees have been stretched slender, and the breeze that has just come at noon is impatiently showing restlessness, and the grass, trees, flowers and leaves that pass by are swaying back and forth with the pace of the wind.
After overturning the eighteenth-level leaf centipede lurking on a branch, I drank a small bottle of blood medicine, because of its protective color that blended into the environment, so that I couldn't find it at the first time, and it was only after it twisted its emerald green body that it sneaked up to react, although the amount of blood was not thick, but the scale armor glowing with oily green light made my attack a little difficult, and it took more than a dozen swords to barely kill, and sure enough, it was not as easy as I thought it would be to kill monsters at level 5.
Idle clouds scattered near the sun, and the oblique sunlight swept over the cliff wall of the Poisonous Insect Valley like a sharp blade, and I, who happened to explore the bottom of the cliff, looked up at the curved cliff slope in front of me, and was attracted by a blood-red "coriander" plant above.
The "coriander" grew more than 30 meters above the ground, but the light of the slanting sun illuminated it red, as bright as a bath in fire, and it was incompatible with the lifeless color of the surrounding creepers.
Because the distance is too far to see its properties, but with such a gorgeous appearance, I am sure that it is definitely not an ordinary weed, maybe it will be an extremely rare medicinal herb, for this "coriander", which is likely to be a rare herb, I am ready to try my luck on it.
Picked up the Changhong Sword and cut through the entangled creeper on the cliff wall, found two relatively strong rattans, put away the weapon and held the rattan, ready to climb up.
"Ahh——!!h
“-2”
Paying too much attention to the "coriander" made me forget the dense thorns on the rattan, as soon as my feet left the ground, the weight of my whole body hung on my hands, and the pain of piercing the flesh instantly deepened, and my instinctive reaction helped me release my stinging hands and fell on all fours on the ground.
Quickly opened the sensory adjustment list, lowered the pain to a few levels, got up and grabbed the rattan again, although it was still slowly suffering from 2 points per second damage, but the feeling was not as obvious as before, using my high strength attribute, I easily climbed to the place next to it, stretched out my hand and dragged it down.
"Item Acquired: Dancing Sungrass*1"
Dancing Sun Grass: Fourth-level quality, fire attribute, common in cliffs, absorbing the essence of the sun and growing a rare herb.
Fire attributes!
The introduction of this herb is simple, but the words on it made me feel its value!
There are a total of 10 levels of herbs in the game! I picked a fourth-grade one all at once! And with the fire attribute! I don't quite understand what it does, but I know it must be a good thing!
Putting the herbs in my hand into my backpack, I grabbed a rattan with both hands, turned my head to look at the ground under my feet, and slid down the rattan whistling in order to save trouble.
“-4,-4,-4,-4,-4,-4,-4,-4……”
A series of numbers floated above my head, drawing a red line that went with the wind.
I didn't expect that the damage received by this slippery down was actually doubled! At a height of only about thirty meters, a line directly crossed half of my blood bar, and I was so frightened that I quickly took out the blood bottle to make up for it.
"Hey, hey, hey......, earned it! When you turn around, you must be greedy for the skinny man, and they will go!" I rubbed my hands, wiped the blood off my hands, and took out the dancing sun grass to look at it carefully, but without the irradiation of the slanting sun on the cliff just now, the dancing sun grass did not have that bright redness, and the more I held it in my hand, the more I looked at it, the more it looked like a tomato-colored coriander?
Is it because of the drunken tomatoes that touched the lovelorn coriander?
It's just that I didn't notice that behind me, two slender whiskers poked out of a cave in the cliff wall, and the long whiskers touched back and forth on a rattan with blood a few times, and then raised in the air, as if to catch something, and then, a huge body more than eight meters long crawled down the rattan.
————
(Bloodworm's monologue)
Today, it was still a carefree day, after preying on many small insects that humbly surrendered to me, I lay quietly in my cave, not to sleep, not to digest, but to enjoy the most pleasant time of the day, listening to the whispers of the sun and the breeze, watching the leaves and flowers dance together.
Yes! Many places as far as the eye can see are the territories of my Taniguchi ruler ———— the Blood Worm!
I haven't had a hearty battle for a long time, the strife of the past, I annihilated too many unconvincing voices, and the courage and cruelty at that time allowed me to have the leisurely life I have now, no low-level insect dared to disturb me, in this majestic valley mouth, I tasted lonely, belonging to my lonely high.
Just as I was reminiscing about the nostalgic fighting life I had had, a long-lost mellow fragrance suddenly appeared, constantly teasing my beard, and my already degraded sense of smell suddenly aroused my longing!
Oh, yes! Ever since the Emperor led his people to fight against humans, I have never felt such an irresistible sense of excitement!! Human blood!!
I don't want to agree with the leisurely situation I have now! My heart longs for the strong! More longing for their failed flesh!
How much glory has passed over time, I thought that I could only be an arrogant ruler in this life, and finally turned into dust and went with the first emperor, but I waited for this taste that I was obsessed with!
I shook off the laziness that surrounded my armor and walked down the cliff to the human not far away, sometimes a greasy feast of insects with a little blood would be sweeter......
