Chapter 4: Crescent Spring
Out of the town, there is an undulating pale yellow sand dune, which is the Mingsha Mountain. Mingsha Mountain is located on the eastern border of the ancient kingdom of Loulan, and a few hundred miles further east is the territory of the Lingtian Empire.
At this time, there are a lot of leveling players on the sand dunes, and they are teaming up to brush the level 1 monster beetle, and they are fighting very energetically.
Ye Zhen didn't stay here for long, just glanced around, and quickly walked to the periphery.
The reason why Mt. Narusha is called a mountain instead of a sand dune is that although it is made up of quicksand, ordinary quicksand can only be piled up into gentle hills. And the sand dunes here are far beyond the ordinary sand dunes in the desert, with undulating heights, unevenness, and undulations. The shortest hill is also more than 100 meters high, and the highest is more than 300 meters.
The place where Ye Scar was going was the top of the highest hill, the top of the sand that would make a chirping sound.
With the experience of his previous life, Ye Zhen walked extremely fast in the desert, stepping on the fine yellow sand with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and walking towards the distance.
Ten minutes later, Ye Zhen came to the foot of the hill, and at the foot of the mountain was a clear and deep spring called Crescent Spring. The water is turquoise and drinkable, and it is very refreshing to be able to drink such nectar in the dry and sultry desert.
Ye Zhen glanced at the crescent moon spring, and did not leave much, and climbed straight to the mountain. In his previous life, he had already drunk the crescent spring water, and he didn't have much curiosity about this spring water at this time.
As soon as I stepped onto this sand dune, there was a faint chirping sound like silk bamboo wind music from the sand grains under the feet of Ye Scar, which is also where the word 'singing sand' comes from. According to legend, there was no yellow sand here, but a green mountain with green trees and abundant water and grass. There is a general Loulan was ordered to guard this mountain, set up camp here, one night was attacked by the enemy, the soldiers had to fight with the enemy soldiers with their bare hands, and the corpses were all over the field, the blood flowed like a river, and the corpses accumulated tens of thousands.
Just when the two armies were inseparable, a black wind suddenly rose, blowing up overwhelming yellow sand. The yellow sand poured down like a torrential rain, and in an instant, the soldiers and horses and corpses of the two soldiers were all buried in the sand, forming a lot of sand, and since then there has been Mingsha Mountain. After the incident, the general's newlywed wife heard the bad news and rushed all the way to Mingsha Mountain, where she wept for seven days and seven nights before killing herself at the foot of the mountain. The crescent moon spring is the condensation of the tears shed by the general's new wife.
Ye Zhen had also heard from the old people in the town, but this was just a legend, and there was no record of this story in the books in the Loulan Library. Whether it's true or not, it's impossible to tell.
In addition to the sand chirping, there is also a strange thing about this hill, which is that people walk on the sand dunes without leaving any footprints. Because the grains of sand here are flowing and flowing upward, this is also the reason why the crescent moon spring is clearly at the foot of this quicksand but is not buried by the yellow sand.
As we reached the mountainside, the leaf marks began to slow down, and the desert red scorpion had already begun to spawn. The desert red scorpion is a level 10 monster with extremely high attack power, and the leaf marks at this time are not enough for them to run into a few hits.
Ye Scar cautiously climbed upward, and suddenly a desert red scorpion in front of him seemed to notice something unusual, turned and rushed towards him.
Sneak!
Ye Scar had already prepared, and immediately started stealing, and his figure immediately disappeared into the sand dunes. Seeing that the target was gone, the desert red scorpion was confused for a long time, so he had to return to the same place in a huff.
Ye Zhen breathed a long sigh of relief, the stealth state is easy to be recognized, and both monsters and players with high perception can see through the stealth. However, this is also relative to whether the player himself will be hidden, Ye Scar has been playing for more than half a year than the average player, and the basic skills of the assassin are already very proficient.
Seeing that the desert red scorpion had returned to its original place, Ye Scar spread his hands and feet again, but fortunately, the desert red scorpion's sense of hearing was not keen, otherwise it would be difficult to escape being detected by the desert red scorpion with the low sound of Ye Scar walking through the sand.
Leaf Scar constantly changed her climbing route, trying to avoid places with a large number of desert red scorpions. Under normal circumstances, the Desert Red Scorpion can spot enemies up to 10 meters away, and will be detected within two meters of it when it is sneaking.
Ten minutes later, Ye Scar sneaked up to the top of Mingsha Mountain. The summit is an open sandy area with a range of about 20 meters x 20 meters. In the center of the clearing was a golden treasure chest, and the golden light emitted by the treasure chest illuminated the yellow sand on the top of the mountain.
This golden treasure chest is the purpose of Ye Zhen's trip. The treasure chests in the game are divided into bronze chests, silver chests, gold chests, dark gold chests and legendary chests, and there are also locked and unlocked chests. The golden treasure chest in front of me is an unlocked treasure chest, and it is also the only golden treasure chest within the scope of Mingsha Town.
Leaf Scars crawled on the sand, observing the situation in front of them, and there were dozens of desert red scorpions roaming in the clearing. Among them, there is a yellowed desert golden scorpion that is closest to the treasure chest, it is the boss-level monster here, and guarding the treasure chest is the mission given to it by the mastermind.
In the Sword of Domination, monsters are divided into Normal, Boss, Elite, King, Lord, and Spirit. At this stage, even those large studios and guilds only dare to touch some relatively weak elite-level monsters, and they can only flee when they encounter king-level monsters. And the boss-level monsters that are one level lower than the elite monsters are also difficult to destroy without the cooperation of four or five players of the same level.
Ye Zhen observed for a while, and quickly made a decision, while there were more than two minutes left in the sneak, he had to act.
Equipped with a novice dagger from Adili, Leaf Scar tiptoed around the clearing.
Slowly moving forward, Ye Zhen's mood was extremely nervous, and he didn't even dare to breathe too hard. He had to keep a safe distance of two meters from all the desert red scorpions, and once he exceeded the two-meter limit and was beaten by dozens of level 10 monsters, he had no chance of surviving.
Ye Zhen walked forward in a zigzag manner, his steps were a little messy, and at first glance, he looked like a madman dancing. But if you look closely, you will find that although Ye Scar's steps are a little chaotic, he can properly maintain a safe distance of more than 2 meters from all desert red scorpions. After all, after practicing for half a year, Ye Zhen's basic skills are extremely solid.
It took a full minute for Ye Scar to go within seven meters of the clearing. Ye Zhen exhaled a deep breath of hot breath, and at this time, his forehead was already covered with dense fine sweat. He had penetrated deep into the encirclement of the desert red scorpion, and if the slightest accident occurred, he would surely die.
Ye Zhen calmed down the waves in his heart, didn't have time to wipe the sweat on his forehead, and turned left and right again.
The further you go, the more dense the desert red scorpion becomes, and at this time there are three red scorpions on both sides of the leaf mark that are digging sand, and the distance between them is less than three meters. Leaf Scar had to pass through them if he wanted to get to the center, but no matter how he went, he would be noticed by one of the desert red scorpions.
Ye Zhen settled his mind and suddenly stopped moving forward. He stared intently at the three red scorpions, observing their movements.
