Chapter 18 Gardener!
gardener……
It's actually a gardener!
Why did he appear here?
Yu Chen and the footsteps that were not Sword Immortal paused at the same time, with an unspeakable look on their faces.
On the contrary, when the burly and strong man as a mountain saw the two, he greeted with a friendly smile: "You should be the insect removers invited by the farmer, right? I am so embarrassed that my name is a gardener. Because of my negligence, the insects have flooded, and the troubles are so that you, who are guests, will fulfill your responsibilities for me. This really makes me feel a little sorry."
The gardener's dress was very simple, with leather armor and trousers without any pattern decoration, and his words and demeanor were also very simple. He looked at Yuchen and smiled honestly: "I wonder if you have ever encountered a nest on the way to come? If you eradicate it, I will give you some extra rewards, which is considered as some compensation for the two of you."
[Tip: Do you accept side missions - "Cleaning the Hives"?]
[Tip: Delivery of the task requires the "Broken Tree Heart".]
Can you do the tasks you have completed again?
But even if you accept it, you can't finish it! The "breaking tree heart" obtained from the insect nest has long been handed over to the monster tree guards, and the those embedded in the spell formation have also turned into ashes when it was demolished. The embers shook their heads slightly to the sword fairy. The latter understood, and both of them refused.
"Mr. Gardener, the nest you mentioned has been destroyed by us. Please rest assured. We also handed over the broken tree heart in the nest to the strange tree guard. It also said that you can see as soon as possible whether it can resurrect its companions!" With his strong self-control, Ember maintained a calm expression and began verbal testing.
"Is that true? That's great!"
The gardener's happy expression was not visible, and his eyes swept over the plant partner enhancer on the shoulders of the embers, and then pointed to the other side of the plant half area: "If you don't mind, you still need to help me. There was also a guest who received the task of cleaning the insect nests here, but he hasn't returned for a long time, which made me a little worried. Can you ask you to take a look? If the insect nest has not been destroyed, you may need to use the power of you two."
[Tip: Do you accept side missions - the second ring of "Cleaning the Hive"?]
...
Task name: [Cleaning the insect nest] (second ring)
Requirements: Completely destroy the second insect nest in the plant half area
Reward: contribution point, credit point
Introduction: The gardener hopes that you can help him completely solve the problem of pests in the half-area of the plant. After the matter is completed, you will receive a certain reward.
...
"Of course, it is also our responsibility to eradicate the insect nest."
This time, Yuchen chose to accept the task because there was no reason to refuse. After saying that, he pretended to embark on the road to deworming and passed by the gardener until the dark vision was about to flood the other person's figure.
During this period, the gardener's eyes were always concentrated on the two of them, with a relaxed body and a smile on his lips, as if he was watching the warrior embarking on a journey.
"Oh! By the way, I almost forgot the most important thing!"
Yuchen suddenly stopped, turned around suddenly, and immediately caught a strange look on the gardener's face. He was ready to welcome the battle and launched a verbal offensive again: "Mr. Gardener, you should know the real purpose of our visit to the manor, right?"
"Of course... Of course, I heard that some big figures found abnormal fluctuations in the space near the Dark Curtain Forest, so I sent you to check it out." The gardener's expression became a little confused. "However, I work in the manor every day and never felt any abnormality. The plants and animals here are almost integrated with the manor. They can feel any movements in the manor, but there is no discovery."
Speaking of this, the gardener's honest face is no longer honest: "Can you find the problem?"
"Of course not. We are just curious. The task of cleaning the nest will be executed immediately, so we won't bother you."
Yu Chen smiled, no longer stayed, quickly stayed away from the center of the forest, away from the burly man with a terrible aura.
He forced the river to cross fifty meters in one breath, but he was still a little worried about the Ember. He began to be alert on the spot. It was not that the Sword Immortal was a little confused, but after seeing the gardener attributes shared by Ember, he took a sudden breath.
...
Name: [Gardener] (Human Entity Derivative/Friendly Biology)
Blood volume: 150/150
Attack level: General
Defense level: weaker
Attack speed: Extremely fast
Alert range: farther
Skills: Nature Affinity, Beast Tracking, Unknown, Unknown
Introduction: The gardener is the only human entity derivative in the manor. He is responsible for taking care of everything in the manor. Whether it is a farmer or a shepherd boy, he trusts him more, and is very close to him, but don’t look at him as honest as he looks, once he is angry, he will be like a volcano erupting and easily destroy everything.
...
"I understand now why the Curse Fox said that the gardener is the real owner of this manor." Yu Jin frowned and his eyes were cold. "I actually had an idea to use the Wolf Valley thing to stimulate the gardener and try to trigger a special plot, but after seeing the gardener's attributes, he completely dispelled this idea. Not to mention that there is no third-level pea saga player now, even if there is one, we can only hit one head-on and die."
"What should I do?"
Originally, the one who was full of confidence in the remaining game time was not the Sword Immortal, but now he realized that things were not that simple: "Go to find Yuezhaoshui and Diandian Doudou? Join forces with other players, or even the power of the opposite player?"
"good!"
Yu Chen pointed: "We ignored it from the beginning. This is actually an eight-person project. Including the internal and external losses and the improvement of strength of the player, if you want to get the final boss, you will probably have to cooperate with four players. Just by myself, even if you get props for similar skill plug-ins to enhance the chip, your chances of winning will not be more than 10%. If you want to pass the level at the extreme, you must at least have two players who have reached that level."
"It makes sense." It's not that the sword immortal was thinking, but then he was a little unwilling. "Doesn't this mean that the hidden props we have worked hard to beat are to give them away?"
"Let's talk about the specific situation then, maybe they have the exclusive props we need!"
The Ember, who received the system prompt, replaced the already-formed third-level pea shooter. Compared with the junior pea shooter, the most significant change is that the muzzle has been raised to four, and the arrangement method is like Gatlin, which makes the third-level pea shooter look extremely combat-effective. The pair of sharp bean eyes patrolled everywhere and was ready at all times.
"It's time finally!"
It wasn't the Sword Immortal that he sighed, and the gardener had not appeared for a long time, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.
Yu Chen nodded slightly, but his face was not relieved: "I can't figure out why the gardener appeared in that place? Did we miss the time when he appeared, or did he be there since the beginning of the assessment? His existence has a huge contradiction with the description of the head of the Monster Tree Guard, and even some differences with the words of the curse fox. Combined with the spell formation in the wooden house, the gardener must be related to the flood of insect swarms, but strangely, he took the initiative to ask the players to clean up the insect nest. What does this mean?"
"He knew that the farmer and the shepherd boy let go and allow the player to enter the Dark Screen Forest, and his actions would be exposed, so he deliberately cleared the traces?" It was not the Sword Immortal who gave his own opinion. "In order to cover up all the evidence, he took the initiative to let the player clean up the insect nest, but strictly protected the key lies. This should be the real reason why the curse fox guarded the gardener's hut."
"Suppose everything you said is correct, then when the gardener realizes that the matter is exposed, he will definitely make the final remedy. Even if it cannot be compensated, he will kill us all because of anger." Yuchen stopped stopping and turned to another gardener's cottage. "The most important thing worthy of our attention is the question of time. When will the gardener wake up? Is it twenty-eight minutes, thirty or forty?"
Hearing this, it was not the Sword Immortal who agreed: "Twenty-eight minutes is exactly the time for the third-level pea saga. Compared with the entire assessment, it has actually entered the middle and late stages. The gardener may have become suspicious now and plans to check the secrets of the gardener's hut and whether it is exposed. But I think this time point should be delayed a little later, because from the beginning to now, we have not wasted any time. If my speculation is not wrong, the gardener is still waiting for the news of the cleaning of the insect nest, either an accident occurs during the period or until all the insect nests are wiped out, otherwise he should not have any abnormal movement thirty minutes ago."
"So we have two goals now, ignore the task of cleaning up the insect nest, explore the second gardener's hut as soon as possible, and call all players to prepare for the final battle before the gardener reveals his true face." Yuchen made a final summary, and also locked in the next destination.
"That's the reason, let's go."
"But I still have a question."
"What?"
"In theory, it is not too difficult to clean the insect nest. Even if there is only one person, you should be able to use up all the insect swarms until now, but why did Yuezhaoshui still not complete the task?"
