Chapter 555 - It's Not a Single Machine After All
Dimi let out a low roar, which made Lu Kuan, who was burying his head in the pit, immediately alert, but when he looked up and saw the white figure in the bamboo forest, Lu Kuan's heart relaxed again.
It was a big white deer, at least two meters tall, and more than three meters tall with its huge golden antlers!
The deer can vaguely see the cyan stripes fluttering slowly, Ambilight, eye-catching, huge body pacing through the bamboo forest, beautiful posture, but also lose the momentum of the majestic.
The eyes of the big deer were also pure white, and his gaze swept over where Lu Kuan was, as if he didn't see this human ranger squatting on the ground digging a pit at all, turned around, walked slowly to the other side, and disappeared between the bamboo forests.
This deer is the guardian saint of the forest, no one knows the name, and players who often go to the big deer corridor and hunting ground to level up will occasionally see the deer appear, but this deer is not an entity, and it can't interact with the player in any way, just looking at it.
Of course, Lu Kuan knew that this divine deer had a little to do with his mission, but it did not affect the progress of the mission, so he continued to dig after seeing the deer leave.
……
The water bamboo forest at night is not as safe as during the day - Lu Kuan also remembered this when he saw the three activated bamboo essences coming over in a hurry.
Activated Bamboo Essence is a plant-based monster, born in a bamboo forest, with a slender body that looks like a stick insect magnified dozens of times, crawling with limbs like bamboo sticks, with two slender arms on the upper body, and sharp bamboo thorns like knives at the end.
These strange creatures, who have acquired low-level intelligence and mobility by chance, dislike everything except bamboo, and even the bamboo rats hiding underground are the enemies in the eyes of these activated bamboo spirits.
And, of course, delicious food.
"Smack!"
The flaming arrow pierced through the head of the Activated Bamboo Spirit, leaving a black scar on the emerald green skin of the opponent, and almost immediately, a piercing scream rang out in the bamboo forest.
"So loud shouting, spring!"
Lu Kuan scolded, and two more feather arrows were shot over, and as the two damage numbers of more than four hundred floated up, the two demon wolf warriors next to him made up two more mouths, and the activated bamboo essence that was screaming endlessly finally quieted down.
These bamboo spirits are not strong in combat, the trouble is that they are in groups, and they are immune to critical damage, so that the output of Lu Kuan and the wolves has dropped out of thin air, and it always feels uncomfortable to kill.
Quickly solve the remaining two, Lu Kuan hurried to dig bamboo shoots, and must save at least 20 bamboo shoots by early tomorrow morning, otherwise he will miss the time and delay for another day.
Just as Lu Kuan was struggling with a tough bamboo whip, a faint scream came from the depths of the dark bamboo forest.
Lu Kuan paused, and immediately measured his ears and listened carefully, as if there was indeed a call for activating bamboo essence, but it only lasted for a few seconds before he regained his composure.
"Did you hear that?" Lu Kuan looked at Dimi, and the black wolf immediately whined softly, obviously, the cry just now did not escape Dimi's ears.
Lu Kuan's brows furrowed: Is there anyone else? What are you doing in the bamboo forest at night......
Didn't you have the same idea as me?
Thinking of this, Lu Kuan immediately stood up and extinguished the torch, and summoned the surrounding wolves back, and when his eyes adjusted to the surrounding darkness, he silently touched the front by the moonlight.
After 5 minutes.
Lu Kuan squatted behind a huge water bamboo, activated the psychic communication skill, and borrowed Dimi's dark vision to see the situation not far away.
The corpses of the five activated bamboo spirits were still lying on the ground, presumably not long dead, and there were still obvious excavation marks on the ground around them, and slightly damp soil was sprinkled all around.
Alas, after all, it is not a single-player game, and it is impossible to be without competitors all the time.
Lu Kuan's brows furrowed, the other party was also coming for S-class pets?
This pet is different from Dimi at the beginning, it is not difficult to trigger its quest, and compared to Dimi's quest process, this quest is much shorter, if there are other competitors, it can be a bit troublesome.
And just now, the other party obviously heard the sound of Lu Kuan killing the bamboo essence, otherwise he would not have left so simply, this water bamboo forest has a vast area, if the other party is determined to find a remote place to squat, it is really difficult to find.
Thinking of this, a cold light flashed in Lu Kuan's eyes: Wait for tomorrow morning, if someone really grabs the task, you can only rely on the knife in your hand to speak.
……
Nothing was said all night.
In the middle of the night, Lu Kuan collected enough bamboo shoots, took a turn in the bamboo forest, planned tomorrow's escape route in advance, and marked it on the map.
Then I found a very remote corner, released the wizard's hut, rested for four hours, and then re-entered the water bamboo forest when the character was in full condition.
Lu Kuan still didn't see the mysterious man, seeing that dawn was coming, Lu Kuan couldn't care so much, and after letting the wolves out, he went straight to the east of the bamboo forest.
The morning light is hazy, there is gradually light in the bamboo forest, the morning air is very fresh, walking in the bamboo forest is cool, the bamboo leaves rustle, so that Lu Kuan's mood is bright.
Maybe you can grow some bamboo in Runeterra?
There are dozens of centuries-old trees in the city, but they are too few compared to the entire Rune City, and after the weeds and shrubs in the city are cleared, the entire city is very empty.
Thinking all the way, Lu Kuan rushed to the eastern edge of the bamboo forest.
A small stream was in front of him, the water was bubbling and gurgling, and on the opposite side of the stream were two huts made of thick bamboo poles, and a male elf sat on a tree stump at the door, chopping the bamboo knots, and rhythmically "Praise! Boom! The voice came clearly.
Different from the delicate image of the elf you usually see, this male elf is extremely strong, and the muscle lines on the arms are clearly visible between the rise and fall of the firewood knife, with dimensions and curves, no less than some orc strong men.
It looks exactly like the appearance of the mission NPC.
Lu Kuan looked left and right, and stepped forward.
At the same time, behind the bamboo pole hut, several pairs of eyes were staring at Lu Kuan through the gap between the houses.
"Damn...... Sure enough, it's an old deer! ”
"I'll just say, what I saw in the bamboo forest last night was given to Bai Ying, his pet!"
"The old deer is also here, so let's ......"
"What's wrong with the old deer? Anyone can take the task, and whether you can do it or not depends on your ability! ”
"Want to do it?"
"Let's do it together in a while, try to get him off in seconds, this task can only be received once a day, kill him, and today's time is ours!"
……
More than ten meters away, Lu Kuan smiled and said something to the elf NPC, and then took out a few thick and large bamboo shoots from his backpack and handed them to the other party.
The strong elf NPC showed surprise on his face, took the bamboo shoot and broke it hard, and there was a crisp "click", revealing the tender white bamboo shoot meat inside, the elf nodded with satisfaction, said something to Lu Kuan, and turned around and walked into the hut.
There were a total of five people behind the house, and at this time the ranger had already set up a bow and arrow, and the warlock was preparing a spell that did not need to be chanted, just waiting for the moment when the spell was shot, everyone shot together and killed the human ranger in front of him in an instant.
But at this time, several people didn't pay attention, on the other side of the house, several huge snow-white beast shadows had quietly approached a few people.
