My farm does not raise idle dragons

[System notification: Congratulations to the player for completing "Challenge Mission ⑧·Dangerous Monsters" and receiving the mission reward "80 challenge gold coins, 800 experience points". 】

[System prompt: The fear of dangerous things is a kind of human instinct. Only people with a strong will can overcome fear and face danger directly. The player's strong character is worthy of praise. 】

[System prompt: The player level has been upgraded to level 13. 】

When Lu Xi put down the bow and arrow in her hand, her arm muscles were still trembling. Although it took no effort to pull the bow string, she kept tensing her muscles for two hours.

As soon as I relaxed, I almost lost control of my whole body.

After looking at the system prompts, Lu Xi twitched the corner of his mouth and said it was quite easy to overcome fear.

Does she look like she has overcome her fear?

I don't know if it was for psychological reasons or for other reasons, but when Lu Xi got close to the range of these three poisonous monsters, a feeling of oppression that made people breathless appeared on Lu Xi.

Every time she fired an arrow, it seemed as if a pair of eyes hidden in the dark were staring at her, eerie and terrifying.

That kind of needle-pricking gaze overlapped one by one.

If sight could turn into a physical object, Lu Xi felt that he might become a sieve.

But the strangest thing is that Xiao Yuan and Zhuo Zhuo don't have the same feeling as Lu Xi. Even though they walked around several times, they still couldn't find the source of the sight Lu Xi said.

Hunting is not troublesome, it doesn't even take 2 minutes, and the territories of the three poisonous monsters are also very close to each other. If it weren't for Lu Xi's own reasons, she should be able to complete the hunting mission in just one hour. .

However, no matter what, she finally completed this task. Lu Xi breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the ninth challenge task.

[Challenge Mission ⑨ Underground Mine: The sky is dark and the night is charming. I heard that there is such a spring in the underground mine. You can see clearly without lighting around the spring. Please go to the underground mine. , before [-] o'clock in the evening, to find out the mystery of the source of the spring light in the underground mine. 】

[Task reward: 90 challenge gold coins, 900 experience points. 】

ha? ? ?Lu Xi read the mission content again and confirmed that the mission was for her to find out the "mystery of the source of the spring light in the underground mine", rather than the mining quantity x 100 or something.

No, what kind of challenge mission is this... so willful?
The previous ones were all about time-sensitive and heavy-duty quantity requirements, but why did it suddenly turn into a “puzzle-solving” task here?
The confusing nature of the new challenge successfully confused Lu Xi, and even the feeling of weakness in his legs and hands dissipated.

The task time limit is until eleven o'clock, but Lu Xi knows that she must complete it before ten o'clock.

"Don't stay outside the farm after ten o'clock at night." This was the reminder given to Lu Xi by NPCs who were residents of several farms.

The area outside the farm naturally also includes underground mines.

Without enough time to think about all the messy things, Lu Xi quickly asked Zhuo Zuo to take her to the underground mine.

At the same time, he dug out a mining suit from the depths of his backpack that he had obtained during a previous mission and equipped it all.

Just in case, Lu Xi gave Xiao Yuan and Zhuo Zhuo a portion of high-quality white bread each, which immunized them against negative status effects for an hour and prevented any problems in the underground mines.

The source of high-quality white bread, in addition to the ones in Lu Xi's backpack, is also available in the activity store for challenge tasks. Lu Xi can renew the status to Xiao Yuan and Zhuo Zhuo when needed.

Lu Xi spent 5 challenge gold coins in exchange for the advanced trap toolkit before, and now there are 355 challenge gold coins, a small consumption is still possible.

Taking out the "portable searchlight", "hard hat" and "heater", Lu Xi put on the equipment that can be equipped, such as a hard hat that can be worn directly on the head.

Then pick up the props that need to be "carried", such as "portable searchlight" and "heater". The shape of the portable searchlight is easy to understand. It is similar to the shape of the element lamp, or it is actually a replica of the shape of other people's element lamp.

The heater is very similar to the small electric heaters on Earth. It is about half a meter high and can be heated when plugged in. The temperature is quite high.

However, the heater provided by the game system does not have plugs or wires. It only has a handle on the top that can be carried. It looks like a portable suitcase.

The weight is also unexpectedly light, anyway, Lu Xi lifts it up easily and effortlessly.

Because the system's backpack grid is relatively scarce, Lu Xi put some of the less commonly used and smaller props into his contract package, and then stuffed the contract package into the system backpack.

The perfect matryoshka.

Normally, a contract package cannot be put into items with the same effect, but the system backpack does not have this problem at all, which also shows that the priority of the game system is definitely higher than the elemental magic weapon of the other world. of.

There are three floors in the underground mine. The lower you go, the worse the environment becomes and the more negative states it causes. You need to equip more special effects clothing.

Fortunately, the spring mentioned in challenge task ⑨ is located on the first floor of the underground mine, and the first floor only has a "cold" environmental effect. The heater Lu Xi is carrying is enough to solve this problem.

Although they have all eaten high-quality white bread to maintain their condition, they still need to prepare props in case the condition disappears.

Moreover, although there are miner's lamps for lighting on the walls on both sides of the first floor of the underground mine, it is still very dark overall, which makes Lu Xi, who is used to the bright light outside, very uncomfortable.

Not to mention other effects of the portable searchlight, the brightness is still very impressive.

Xiao Yuan and Zhuo Zhuo Zuo Zuo were just like Lu Xi. Ever since he discovered that they could help him when doing tasks, Lu Xi preferred to take them with him.

After entering the first floor of the underground mine, Lu Xi habitually clicked on the system map and took a look. The last time she came here to do a task, she met the miner Kufu. It was just to the southwest of the underground mine, a large underground Beside the lake.

The underground lake was actually the goal of Lu Xi's trip, because the spring was in the middle of the underground lake.

Or should it be called an underground spring?But looking at the area, Lu Xi thinks it would be more appropriate to call it an underground lake.

But this time, Lu Xi was not surprised at all, he did not see the character mark of Miner Kufu.

Maybe the miners have to get off work at eight or nine in the evening.

Without saying anything else, Lu Xi climbed directly behind Zhuo Zhuo and let Zhuo Zhuo carry him as he flew over.

Compared with the last time, Zhuo Zhuo, who has learned a lot about flying technology, can already fly around in narrow terrain such as underground mines very well.

Although I hit the wall once because of a mistake.

But it still saved more than half the time compared to Lu Xi traveling by himself.

Entering the middle of the underground lake, Lu Xi was instantly captivated by the beautiful scenery. He stared at it for a long time before being disturbed by the noises made by Xiao Yuan and Zhuo Zuo.

When they turned around, they found that Xiao Yuan and Zhuo Zhuo had each taken out their tools and were mining on the walls around the underground lake.

The view of the underground lake did not affect the two of them at all.The location of the underground lake looks a bit like a semicircle dug out of the mountain. The top of it looks like a pot lid that has been buckled down, but it is tightly shielded to avoid the possibility of moonlight penetrating into the lake.

At the bottom is a lake with irregular edges, occupying [-]% of the middle area. There are only a few flat areas around it that can be used as a place to stay.

The entrance of Luxi is the largest landing platform. Opposite the entrance is a steep stone wall with a stepped shape. A small spring appears on the stone wall, and the water flowing out falls into the underground lake. It turns out that it relies on it One can support a huge lake.

What attracts Lu Xi is the spring water flowing down like clear moonlight, and the water surface that seems to exude fluorescent light, like exquisite gems.

As the system introduction said, Lu Xi obviously didn't see any objects that could be illuminated here, but the light here was comparable to the night outside.

You must know that the moon in another world is also a luminous sphere. Although the brightness is not as bright as that of the day, objects at a certain distance can still be seen clearly.

Lu Xi passed by many times at night.

So, why is there no source of light around the springs of underground mines, but it can still produce this kind of "illuminated" effect?
Lu Xi walked around the platform around the entrance several times, but still couldn't find any clue. The stones here were not like those outside, and some of the weeds and plants growing there did not have the function of emitting light.

Lu Xi couldn't help but put down the things in his hands, squatted by the underground lake, looked under the water, and tried to study the cause from the lake.

There is a phobia called bathophobia. The main symptom is an inexplicable fear when you see the water or the bottom of the sea at a certain depth.

Most human beings will feel this way. In fact, the most important thing is human "imagination" at work. Because of thinking of all kinds of terrible things that will happen, fear arises from the heart.

What I'm actually afraid of is what I imagine.

As soon as Lu Xi squatted down and saw his own reflection in the sparkling water, he couldn't believe it. No one knew how deep the lake was and what was under the water.

Lu Xi is also a person with a rich imagination and has thought through various scenarios in his mind.

Including but not limited to "a water snake with thick thighs suddenly popped up from the bottom of the water, bit his face, and dragged him down into the lake", "a three- to five-meter man-eating shark suddenly jumped out of the water, opened his mouth and swallowed him", "he didn't stand up Wen suddenly fell into the lake, and there were a bunch of piranhas waiting to eat him." "Suddenly something pushed him from behind, and he was pushed into the lake and drowned. There were also piranhas, water snakes, and giant piranhas in the lake. Sharks" and so on.

Then he moved slightly slowly, reaching out and holding a handful in the lake for inspection. There was no trace of fear in his heart.

How should I put it, Lu Xi was afraid, but it did not affect her actions. Fear and reason actually coexisted in her mind.

Just like when he was in college, Lu Xi once went to watch a ghost movie with his classmates at night and returned to the dormitory after [-] o'clock in the evening. At that time, a street light on the school road was broken and it would flash suddenly from time to time.

Normally, it would be okay, but six or seven girls, who had just watched a ghost movie, were startled when the street lights flashed, and several girls ran back towards the dormitory, howling like ghosts. I threw away several of them.

Lu Xi kept walking slowly behind them. He also took out his mobile phone, used a flashlight to illuminate the area, and picked up the dropped bags.

After returning to the dormitory, everyone said that Lu Xi was brave and not afraid of ghosts. No one knew the few seconds the street lights flickered. Lu Xi had already thought through all the "horror storylines" that he could think of.

But those things did not happen, so Lu Xi was able to control his behavior rationally while being afraid.

It was just like Lu Xi was obviously full of fear when he challenged the last task, but still persisted in completing the task.

Fear will not be a factor affecting Lu Xi's actions.

"There is no problem with the water, so why?" Lu Xi muttered to himself, wiped his wet palms, and looked at the spring on the opposite stone wall.

The game system does not give a way to get there, which means that it probably has nothing to do with the spring itself.

However, Lu Xi didn't believe in evil, so she called Zhuo Zhuo, who was mining around the entrance, and asked him to fly her over to have a look.

"Dong dong" knocked twice on the stone wall, and Lu Xi reached out to the spring to hold a handful of water.

There is nothing special about it except that it feels too cold.

"Here..." Lu Xi frowned and thought for a moment.

"It should be good for freezing watermelon in summer."

It's a pity that it's almost autumn now, and the weather is not so hot, but it's a pity that this is a good place.

Well, Lu Xi really didn't see any problems here.

Returning to the entrance, Lu Xi looked at it for a long time. She even looked at every blade of grass, but she still couldn't find the reason.

When I came back to my senses, an hour had passed.

Lu Xi could only console himself. Did you see that Xiao Yuan and Zhuo Zhuo had already mined so much, so this hour was not wasted.

"So, what's the problem?" Lu Xi squatted by the lake and scratched the water, causing ripples.

She had checked everything she could from her head to both sides.

"The only thing left is the bottom of the water."

Lu Xi thought about the possibility of getting into the water. Not to mention whether she had a swimsuit, the key question was that she didn't know how to swim.

The deepest water she had ever been in was when she was fishing for clams in the village river as a child. The water was as deep as her thighs... She was six years old at the time.

Moreover, the water in this underground lake is extremely cold and biting. Although it is not frozen, it is definitely not something that humans can bear.

Maybe those elemental warriors can?After all, they are no longer ordinary people.

But with less than an hour left, where could Lu Xi go to find the elemental warriors.

"Plop" a huge figure suddenly fell into the water, and the splashes fell a little bit at Lu Xi's feet.

Lu Xi suddenly looked up and saw a bright red tail sinking into the water.

Lu Xi stood up suddenly, "Zhao Zhuo!"

Hahahahaha, it’s my personal experience to go back to the dormitory after watching a ghost movie.

What may seem bold to outsiders is actually terrifying in my heart.
