——After all, Nashida’s real body is still in the Jingshan Palace, and she has no one available except some Lanaros who will not approach human gathering places.
The more Lin Feng thought about it, the more he felt sorry for the Little Grass God. He decided to meet her before leaving Xumi to see if he could do anything for her. After all, his level had jumped from 19 to 36, and it was the Little Grass God and her statue that played an important role.
As usual, after breakfast, Lin Feng chose to enter the rainforest to complete his daily patrol.
"Come on, is there anyone who can help me?"
Unexpectedly, not long after entering the rainforest, Lin Feng heard a cry for help.
Helping pedestrians in distress is also one of the jobs of a forest ranger. Lin Feng quickly rushed towards the direction where the sound came from.
"I'm the forest ranger Lin Feng here. Uncle, please calm down a little. What happened?"
Lin Feng revealed his identity at the first moment and saw the source of the cry for help - a middle-aged Liyue merchant with black hair and wearing a long robe.
"Hey, little brother, help me!"
"My daughter, my daughter was captured by a monster—"
The bewildered businessman kept repeating these words.
"Please calm down!" Lin Feng released some elemental power, a grass element with a hint of dreamlike characteristics, which successfully restored some rationality to the panicked merchant.
"Which direction? What are the characteristics? What monster took him away?"
Lin Feng knew that now was not the time to reminisce about the past, so he asked the middle-aged businessman, who had calmed down a little, for some key information in the briefest way possible.
"It's just up this road!"
The middle-aged man understood the urgency of the situation and quickly explained the details.
"About half an hour ago, the two of us were driving a carriage through a dark forest, and suddenly a group of mechanical monsters with black gas coming out of their bodies rushed out. The pack horses under us got scared and ran away in different directions!"
"My daughter is from Liyue, and she is about the same age as you, little brother. Please bring her out!"
"I, I can give you all the caravan's property. Please save Xiaolu!"
"I, I, I kneel down before you!"
The middle-aged businessman was about to kneel down after saying this, but Lin Feng reached out and grabbed the uncle's arm to stop him.
"No need to kneel. We can talk about the reward later. I am also from Liyue. Uncle, if you do this, I will shorten my life. I will do my best to bring your daughter out. Please don't wander around. I will take you to do some relevant records later."
After hearing the situation clearly, Lin Feng also felt it was a bit tricky. He told the uncle not to run around and to rush into the rainforest as quickly as possible.
From the middle-aged businessman’s description, they may have encountered the “dead zone” in the rainforest, although it seemed that they were just passing through the edge of the area - otherwise the uncle would not have been able to escape.
But his daughter most likely followed the frightened packhorse and ran into the depths of the dead zone.
During the time that he studied with Tinari, Lin Feng also gained some new insights into the Dead Zone.
First of all, the dead zone phenomenon in reality is not very common at present, and generally does not appear in the edge areas of the rainforest.
Secondly, the Dead Zone is extremely dangerous for ordinary people. Even if you ignore the projected monsters in it, ordinary people will continue to lose vitality if they stay in it, and their lives will be in danger if they stay in it for more than half an hour. Only those who possess the Eye of God can resist for a longer period of time.
To clear the dead zone, you need to use grass elemental power to attack the branches of the dead zone. After destroying all the projected monsters, you can eliminate the exposed core of the dead zone - the dead zone tumor.
Recalling the information about the Dead Zone in his mind, Lin Feng estimated the time it would take for the merchant's daughter to enter the Dead Zone. Half an hour later, Lin Feng, feeling a sinking feeling in his heart, quickened his pace.
——I hope the monsters in the dead zone are not too outrageous, Lin Feng prayed silently in his heart.
Because the strongest monsters in the dead zone are often projections of the earth veins, if it is a creature with low strength such as mushroom beasts, then the dead zone will not be difficult to clear. But if you are unlucky, you may encounter extremely high-level dangerous monsters such as Ruin Dragon Beasts and Hill Kings.
Lin Feng, who was hurrying on his way, noticed that the light around him gradually dimmed. The sky and the forest were filled with an ominous purple-red light. The chirping of insects and birds that had originally surrounded his ears disappeared, and the whole forest was filled with a deathly silence.
The dead zone has arrived!
Lin Feng's heart shuddered, feeling the ominous force around him eroding him, and a deep-seated disgust surged in his mind - this was a force that was opposed to all life.
As soon as he entered the dead zone, Lin Feng felt a sense of crisis. He jumped to the side and back nimbly to avoid the incoming laser beam. Lin Feng turned around and looked at the attacking enemy.
——Three centipede-like mechanical structures, with triangular heads flashing with light, were obviously accumulating their next attack.
"Tangle!" "Spikes!"
Lin Feng did not hold back, and started with a full-strength attack of entanglement and ground spikes.
After training, the vines became as thick as an adult's waist. Once born, they coiled around the centipede-like structure from all directions. Dense but solid wooden thorns emerged from the ground and stabbed the bound relic mecha.
"Um?!"
Lin Feng was a little bit unbelievable. Although the relic mecha that was bound by vines was damaged after taking the attack of the wooden thorns, it was still able to move.
The relic robot destroyed the surrounding vines with lasers, rotated its long body, dug into the soil like a drill, and disappeared into the ground.
!
Lin Feng, who had experienced it enough times in the game, quickly jumped away from where he was.
The next moment, three relic mechas emerged from where Lin Feng had originally stood, and released indiscriminate laser attacks to the surroundings. The brilliant light illuminated the dim environment like a small sun, and the extremely high temperature even made the surrounding air produce a burnt smell.
"good chance!"
Lin Feng, who was familiar with the mechanism of this thing, did not rush to dodge the terrifying attack. Instead, he condensed a sharp arrow with pure grass elements and stabbed it from a distance at the exposed core of the three relic soldiers.
"Stab it."
Suddenly, a sound as if of poor contact came from the relic mechas. The three relic constructs were wrapped in orange-yellow electric arcs, and they were obviously in a state of temporary paralysis.
Lin Feng took the opportunity to compress the grass elements in the surrounding environment, and a grass element bomb with maximum output power was thrown towards the center of the three constructs.
"boom!"
——The three constructs trembled, turned into black ashes and disappeared into the air.
Chapter 16 Xiaobai
"call"
After experiencing the most intense battle since he traveled through time, Lin Feng let out a long sigh. After destroying the dead zone branches here, he continued to move forward. While on the road, Lin Feng clicked on the panels of three monsters:
[Individual information: Autonomous agency - Ruin Annihilator (Earth vein projection)]
Level: 38+10 (The projection of the self-regulating mechanism strengthened by the dead zone is extremely powerful, far beyond that of ordinary people. Relying on the forbidden power wrapped around the body, even the most ferocious monsters dare to challenge it.)
Attribute: Physical/@#$%
Items: Forbidden Power, Chaos Core, Construct Technology 5, Solid Body 4, Underground 3, Laser 3
Emotion: @¥#%
Friendly: @#¥%
Lin Feng looked at the level of these relic mechas that had reached 48 after being strengthened in the Dead Zone, as well as a series of strengthening terms, and his understanding of Kanreya's combat capabilities was refreshed.
——The mass-produced mechas are so powerful. Except for the top combat power that cannot compete with the Tenli camp, they will definitely crush other countries in the middle and lower level battles.
Lin Feng has not found any trace of the uncle's daughter yet, but he still decided to clear this dead zone. Not only because the strength of this dead zone is too high and leaving it alone will cause huge trouble, but there is another important reason - if the dead zone disappears, the people in it will naturally be safe.
Lin Feng rushed to the remaining two dead zone branches as quickly as possible. As he got closer, he saw new monsters of the ruins series. They were the triangular-shaped Ruins Cruiser that could launch floating cannons and laser fields, and the Ruins Scout that looked like a jellyfish and could generate energy fields.
"Okay, this should be the last branch."
Although the relic mechas were very tough, their attacks were rigid and their weaknesses were obvious. These seemingly powerful monsters were all paralyzed and killed by Lin Feng, who was familiar with their attacks. He used long-range energy arrows to arrow them into the air.
Lin Feng, who had not seen any trace of human beings until now, breathed a sigh of relief. It was likely that the uncle's daughter had run away to some other place - it was impossible for her to rush to the core unhindered, right?
Lin Feng felt that it was impossible for an ordinary pack horse to do this.
Looking at the core of the Dead Zone, Lin Feng showed a solemn expression. In general, the core leaders of the Dead Zones in the Relics series are often Relic Dragon Beasts or Relic Heavy Machinery.
As the industrial treasures of Kanreya, both of them have solid armor and destructive power enough to change the terrain, cannons that can penetrate mountains and almost immune physical resistance, so that even a single individual appearing in the wild often requires the Adventurer's Association to issue the highest level of expedition commissions.
——As for this thing in the dead zone, Lin Feng could only say that he didn’t want to see it at all.
But since he has arrived here, Lin Feng decided to use detection from a distance to observe the information.
Even if he only brought back some information about the leader, the next time the members gathered for the battle, they would be much safer than if they knew nothing at all.
After making up his mind, Lin Feng touched Xiaobai on his shoulder, lowered his center of gravity, and walked slowly towards the core of the Dead Zone as quietly as possible.
Carefully pushing aside the last branch in front of him, Lin Feng looked far into the center of the dead zone:
Then, in this withered and silent forest, a giant mechanical dragon soaring high in the sky suddenly appeared in front of Lin Feng.
——It has a reddish-brown appearance like rust, and its overall posture is like a legendary dragon, with four legs, two wings, and a body covered with gears and bolts without any sense of clutter. Under the overwhelming pressure, it is a mechanical body that gives people a sense of power and beauty as soon as they see it.
But what really made Lin Feng stop was the small green light shield in front of the huge machine - a black-haired girl and a horse were protected in the light shield.
Lin Feng "."
Seeing the scene he least wanted to see happening before his eyes, Lin Feng was no longer able to complain about this legendary horse that crossed the Death Zone.
Fortunately, there was Lanaro in the forest, otherwise, even if there was no dead zone, the relic dragon beast on standby would have killed the uncle's daughter and the stupid horse long ago.
Open the panel of the Ruins Dragon Beast:
[Individual information: Self-regulatory agency - Ruin dragon beast·Sky patrol (ground vein projection)]
Level: 61+10 (A top-level self-regulatory projection strengthened by the Dead Zone, extremely powerful, far beyond ordinary people. Relying on the forbidden power wrapped around the body, even the messenger of the gods dares to fight.)
Attribute: Physical/@#$%
Items: Forbidden Power, Chaos Core, Construct Technology 7, Solid Body 6, Element Absorption 5, Energy Torrent 4
Emotion: @¥#%
Friendly: @¥#%
Looking at the unprecedentedly powerful enemy in front of him, the level of 71 almost clearly indicated how dangerous this opponent was. Lin Feng wanted to just run away. After all, the uncle's daughter was now protected by Lannaro and was not in danger of life, so there was no need to rush.
But Lin Feng also thought that a mission trigger from Weimo Manor in the game was caused by staying in the dead zone for too long. In the end, even the powerful Lan Lana could only temporarily stabilize her condition.
In the end, the traveler went through numerous hardships and dangers, and only after she took the fruit of Weiye, which was at least a golden item, was she healed.
The time that has passed now is not too long, but Tinari happened to be out, and there is no one nearby who possesses the Eye of God. If he leaves again, it will be unknown when he will come back next time - Lin Feng will not be able to get the Wei Ye Fruit.
Leaving would mean giving up the agreement with the uncle and watching the Liyue girl who was about the same age as him die. If he didn't leave, his own safety would not be guaranteed.
Lin Feng was struggling, feeling extremely tormented. He looked at the girl with long black hair in the barrier and Xiaobai on his shoulder. Lin Feng sighed and made a decision.
He gathered green grass-attribute elemental power in his hands, compressed it, and threw it fiercely in the opposite direction of the girl.
"boom!"
——The Ruins Dragon Beast in standby mode was instantly activated, its eyes lit up, its wings spread, and it was attracted by the green light exploding in the distance.
Taking advantage of this momentary gap, Lin Feng rushed towards the green cover that was protecting the girl.
He simply picked up the shivering green mushroom next to him, stuffed it into his arms, rushed into the cover that was about to disappear, hugged the petite girl in front of him, and tried to cover her with his body as much as possible.
After making all the preparations, Lin Feng looked at the rapidly approaching missiles of the Relic Dragon Beast, closed his eyes, and used the forbidden power that he had never intended to use.
"Xiao-Bai--" Lin Feng made a sharp explosion.
Because of Lin Feng's order, Xiaobai has been in standby mode and has never used his own strength.
The moment he felt that Lin Feng's life was in danger, he disappeared from Lin Feng's shoulder without a trace.
Lin Feng ignored the struggle of the green mushroom in his arms and held Lanaro and the girl in his arms.
Just before the missile was about to hit, time seemed to stop.
Cyan, yellow, purple, green... countless colors mixed together and finally become the purest white - white that is enough to dissolve everything.
A terrifying pressure appeared in the air, spreading from a corner of the rainforest to the entire Daocheng Forest, the entire rainforest, the entire Xumi, and even the entire continent.
The land, the dead zone, the forest, the sky... everything visible and invisible was destroyed, annihilated, and decomposed by a tremendous force.
A spherical pit appeared on the ground, and all that was left was a small piece of land protected by Lin Feng.
The relic dragon beast that had been emitting a terrifying oppressive force was annihilated into the purest molecules along with the chaos core in its body and the earth power that constituted it the moment Xiaobai disappeared.
Chapter 17 Aftermath
The dead zone disappeared - in theory, the core of the dead zone must be broken by the grass element. Under the purest power, along with the forbidden knowledge, it was completely shattered by Xiaobai.
Looking at the spherical pit that was hundreds of meters deep below him, Lin Feng chose to temporarily forget the consequences it would bring.
Feeling Lanaro no longer struggling in his arms, Lin Feng touched him twice more - he had wanted to try it for a long time, and the feel was indeed good. Lin Feng found joy in the midst of suffering.
