C414 The shortest route!
C414 The shortest route!
The goal of this fourth tier group mission was to obtain the gall of at least the fifth stage Magneton.
The Magneton lived in a place in the Forest of Fog called the magnetic valley, which was a place where a group of Spirit Demon beasts lived.
Magneton bloodlines normally did not surpass the peak of the xanthine. With the Magneton's strength, it was not very strong.
However, this Magneton had an ability that made one's head hurt, that was its magnetic force.
Magneton itself could emit a kind of magnetic field. Once a warrior entered this type of magnetic field, their movements would be severely obstructed, and there would even be signs of their spirit energy congealing. This kind of magnetic field would also have the effect of superimposing because of the Magneton gathering together.
In other words, there were thousands of Magneton living in the magnetic valley. Once they were stacked up, even the Martial Emperor would find it extremely difficult to hunt and kill them.
A warrior going into the magnetic valley alone to hunt Magneton, and also getting the guts of a Level 5 Magneton or higher, the success rate was really not high.
This could only be achieved if several powerful warriors cooperated with each other. That was why this mission was classified as a group mission by the Unparalleled Pavilion, and it had to be a fourth rank mission. Once this mission was completed, one would be able to obtain 30,000 Earthly Immortal Points.
When Lu Yu first received this mission, she immediately decided to team up according to the quota given by the Unparalleled Pavilion, and try her best to form a relatively strong team. Only after entering the magnetic valley would she be able to divide the Magneton as much as possible, reduce and weaken the magnetic field's effect, making it easier for him to hunt the Magneton for courage.
There were a total of nine slots. Lu Yu was very generous, she was willing to promise each of the eight people to get two thousand points, other than himself. She himself would get fourteen thousand points.
A total of 30,000 points, his captain had earned 14,000 points, not even 50%. Compared to the other sponsors, they had 70% or more of the time. They were already considered rather generous and more of a gentleman.
Completely completing the mission would give him 2,000 points, which was a good thing. Of course, Lu Yu immediately thought of his own fellow South Heaven Sect disciples, and felt that their group was mainly from the same South Heaven Sect.
Who would have thought that they would meet Fang Shaobai at Yan Huai Inn, and then, on a sudden impulse, he wanted to pull Fang Shaobai closer to the group, causing the originally formed group to collapse and fall apart.
Since there were no regroups, and only four people were left to complete the mission at magnetic valley, the distribution of points could only change.
In order to let Fang Shaobai, Yuan Ziruo and the Ice Jade be more motivated and cooperate more to complete the mission, Lu Yu decided to give each of them 5000 points, while he herself obtained 15,000 points.
Fang Shaobai did not have any objections to this arrangement, and Ice Jade would naturally not have any objections either. The three of them agreed, even if Yuan Ziruo didn't agree, there was nothing they could do about it. This little girl was cunning and would naturally not say something that he knew would infuriate anyone, even if it was not to their liking.
The group of four arrived at the edge of the Forest of Fog. Fang Shaobai took a look at the Ancient Forest, and saw that it looked like an ancient, monstrous beast crouching on the ground. The innumerable pores on its body had grown huge trees that reached into the sky, making this ancient beast look extremely mysterious.
He could only feel that in the vast forest, ferocious beast roars constantly sounded out, accompanied by a fierce aura that had been there for countless years, causing him to involuntarily shiver.
In the face of such a huge ancient forest, not to mention a few people, even an army of hundreds of thousands could enter, it was extremely insignificant, just like pouring a ton of sand into the sea, every grain of sand was easily devoured by the sea, and one could forget about finding the existence of sand again in the next second.
This was the Forest of Fog, the ancient forest that possessed both supreme miracles and fatal crises.
Lu Yu showed everyone a map that was carved with beast skin. It was the map from Falling Star City to the magnetic valley.
Lu Yu spread out the map on the ground, pointed to the map, and explained to the rest: "Everyone, the Forest of Fog's border here, which is our current location, according to the map, is roughly fifty miles from here to magnetic valley, which is already the shortest route."
Fang Shaobai's gaze swept across the map a few times, her heart suddenly moved, and said: "That's not right, Brother Lu Yu, according to the map, from here to magnetic valley, the shortest route is around fifty kilometers, but if you choose one like that, you have to cross the Brahma Mountains and the forested bog, which shows that these two places are not good places."
Lu Yu smiled slightly.
Yuan Ziruo continued, "You have sharp eyes, right, Brahma Mountains have their territory, and the strongest Bula demon beast have reached the Peak Rank 4. forested bog has dozens of poisonous mud beasts, and the most poisonous mud beasts would die in ten breaths of time with a single bite.
Fang Shaobai was surprised, "There's not much time left, what's the solution?"
Lu Yu said: "Xiao Bai, the thing is, before I snatched this mission, this mission had actually already been received by someone, but they did not complete it, thus it delayed me for over half a month. "This mission was originally effective for 30 days, but now we only have 12 days left. If we don't choose the shortest route, I'm afraid we won't make it in time. When we return and submit the mission late, it will be a waste of time."
"Oh, so this mission has a expiration date!" Fang Shaobai's expression changed, "But even so, we can still take a detour. Look at this route, we can just avoid the Brahma Mountains and the forested bog s, and the distance to travel is about one hundred miles, but there's no obvious danger, and the route is a bit far, so we don't have to spend too much time fighting the Goblins, with our speed, we can actually travel a bit faster."
Just as Fang Shaobai finished speaking, Lu Yu and Yuan Ziruo both started laughing.
Especially since Yuan Ziruo had a grudge with him in the first place, she took the chance to tease him: "Fang Shaobai, it's fine if you haven't been to the Forest of Fog, but why don't you have any common sense?"
Facing such naked mockery and even Yuan Ziruo's mockery, Fang Shaobai's anger did not stop there. She stubbornly said: "What do you mean you don't have any common sense? I was obviously trying to figure out the route based on the map, what does it have to do with common sense?"
Yuan Ziruo laughed even more complacently, and struck out: "This is what you don't have common sense for, you trust maps too much, be careful when you reach Forest of Fog, you don't even know how you ended up losing your life. Don't think that just because you have some hidden methods that you have the upper hand in front of ordinary warriors, when you reach Forest of Fog, no matter how many hidden abilities you have, there will always be a danger that will kill you. "
"You!"
Although Fang Shaobai knew that Yuan Ziruo was not lying, but no matter how she looked at his, this little girl's words would always sound ear-piercing.
Although Lu Yu did not know what exactly happened between Fang Shaobai and Yue Yang, she knew that the two of them were not going to go against each other. There were only four people left in the team, so nothing unexpected could happen. Otherwise, she really wouldn't be able to complete this mission.
Seeing that Fang Shaobai was about to open her mouth to refute, Lu Yu hurriedly interjected, "Xiao Bai, actually, this is the case. This map really cannot be completely trusted."
"Oh, what is it?" Seeing Lu Yu speak, Fang Shaobai could only endure her anger for the moment. She glanced at Yuan Ziruo, who was intentionally winking at him to show off, and thought to herself, You little mischievous girl, if I find another chance, see how I'll take care of you.
"This map was actually drawn by someone who had been to the Forest of Fog before. It is only an experience route and not a real standard route. There were signs of danger, proof that someone had passed through here. This could be trusted. Just because no one has passed through a place where there is no danger doesn't mean that there isn't any danger. On the contrary, there might be a place with greater danger. "
Lu Yu immediately understood after hearing Lu Yu's explanation.
Even someone like Lu Yu would choose the route that someone had taken and avoid routes that no one had taken as much as possible. This was enough to prove that in Forest of Fog, there were many crises that caused even Lu Yu's heart to palpitate.
As it was a matter of life and death, he couldn't afford to be careless.
Fang Shaobai did not try to take a detour because even if there was no life crisis in the detour, but if there was something that jumped out to pester them and delayed them, they would not be able to make it back to the Unparalleled Pavilion to complete their mission. It would be a tragedy.
It was quickly decided, and Lu Yu decided to take the shortest route to the magnetic valley. However, even though this route was short, it required one to pass through two dangerous areas, the Brahma Mountains and the forested bog. In particular, the Brahma Mountains was less than five kilometers away from this route.
The Brahma Mountains s were in large groups as well, so it was fortunate that they did not encounter it. If they met with a fierce battle, it would definitely cause huge trouble and could potentially cost their lives in the Brahma Mountains s.
Therefore, before entering the Forest of Fog, he had to make sufficient preparations for the Bula demon beast.
In short, completing the mission was secondary, and a small life was of utmost importance. Fang Shaobai would not have any opposing opinions, instead, she had a whole new level of interest in Lu Yu. Usually, this Lu Yu didn't seem like much, even though she had the title of the number one expert in the South Heaven Gate, she had never revealed any sort of tyrannical strength, but at this time, this Lu Yu seemed like a natural born general, who had a clear understanding of the battles that she was about to fight, what she should fight, and what preparations she should make, were all in vain.
Fang Shaobai and Lu Yu were becoming more and more interested in the battle. They smiled as they listened to Lu Yu explaining in detail the strength, strengths, and weaknesses of the Bula demon beast.
