Xu Sili listened to September’s description and felt…
The setting of this sprite race was really weird.
They teased someone out of liking. This sounded like a primary school student’s trick. Fortunately, as the darlings of the elemental elves, they would bring good luck to those who were teased.
Otherwise, it would be more than just the sprites being disliked.
Roar!
The shadow leopard heard the noise and stopped.
They saw an interstellar beast appearing in front of them, fighting with a screaming tree monster. The battle between the two sides was very fierce and it was hard to tell who was the winner.
Xu Sili frowned slightly. Behind him, Si Sheng had already raised his hand and set up a layer of sound elements as a barrier to isolate the screaming tree monster’s cry and prevent the aftermath of the other side’s battle from affecting them.
In the end, this interstellar beast that looked like a tiger was whipped away by the vines of the screaming dryad and slammed heavily into another screaming dryad.
What was strange was that the giant tree that was hit stood there motionless. Even after being hit, it didn’t react like other giant trees.
Huh?
Xu Sili stared at the motionless giant tree and felt that something was strange.
The interstellar beast coughed up a mouthful of blood.
The giant tree that attacked it threw out the vines again and entangled around the tail. The interstellar beast actually bit off its own tail and ran away in shame.
The giant tree only got a tail and swung its vines unhappily. Finally, it dragged the tail back to the tree hole.
Crunch, crunch.
Xu Sili vaguely heard the sound of chewing.
He glanced at the screaming dryad tree and felt a chill. Just as he frowned, Si Sheng swung his hand and sent out a wind blade.
The eating tree monster was cut into two halves. Its beating black heart exploded directly.
Xu Sili felt comfortable immediately.
He looked back at Si Sheng, raised his head slightly and kissed him on the chin. Then he looked at the giant tree that was split in half. He vaguely saw something shining at the bottom.
“Ah Sheng, what is that?”
Hearing his curiosity, Si Sheng raised his hand towards the giant tree again. The thing that fell at the roots of the giant tree slowly floated up.
It looked like a sword and a shield, but it was black in color and covered in the black sap of the giant tree. It looked dirty with only a small part of its original color showing.
Si Sheng condensed a ball of clear water but found that it couldn’t be cleaned with water. After thinking about it, he dispersed the water element and a faint blue flame appeared out of thin air.
As the flames burned, the black juices gradually dissipated and revealed what it was wrapped around.
Xu Sili stared intently. The first one to reveal its true appearance was the shield.
This was a silver-white shield with many complicated patterns carved on it. It looked chaotic but seemed to contain some type of wonderful pattern.
He was curious and used Insight on the shield.
[Shield of Siasa]
[Description: A shield produced in the dense Siasa Forest. Its owner was devoured by a screaming tree demon, and his name and identity are no longer traceable. However, due to the special inscription, it has remained intact for hundreds of years.
Quality: Legendary.
Equipment effect:
- Indestructible. A passive skill. The shield can’t be destroyed. When attacked, there is a chance to trigger a layer of shield, increasing physical defense by 10%. This can be stacked up to five layers.
-
Shock. An active skill that neutralizes 80% of the enemy’s physical damage through special techniques. There is a 50% chance of counterattacking. The duration is 10 seconds and the cooldown time is 20 minutes.]
Xu Sili looked at the attributes and couldn’t help his eyes widening.
He hadn’t played games for a long time, but he understood that this shield was absolutely amazing at the current stage!
If it was put up for sale, it would definitely attract countless teams to scramble for it.
Xu Sili looked at the sword and couldn’t help sucking in his breath. This was actually a weapon of legendary quality!
But the name was very perfunctory. It was the Sword of Siasa, which matched the shield quite well.
Xu Sili remembered the post on the future forum.
The post said that the benefits of killing the screaming dryads in the Siasa Forest were too low, so players gave up. Now it seemed that…
They were just hiding sinisterly!
The screaming dryad was different from other interstellar beasts. Some of the food it devoured over the past one hundred years might be left behind due to indigestion.
These things might not only be the relics of human warriors, but also some rare materials from other ancient tribes and even interstellar beasts.
The dense Siasa Forest was definitely a forest of treasures for players.
It might be very difficult to clear the screaming dryads, and the items they dropped depended a lot on luck, but Xu Sili felt that players would definitely flock here as long as these two pieces of equipment were released.
He touched his chin. The two pieces of equipment were of little use to him. He might as well give them to the players.
It was just of legendary quality and he didn’t think much of it. After all, Si Sheng had given him divine equipment when he was only one or two stars!
Due to the God of Music’s flute, he had no use for the shield and the sword… he had never learned it.
Soon, Xu Sili made a decision.
He directly put the two pieces of equipment into the space capsule. Then he opened the faction warehouse interface, selected the equipment and set the conditions.
This was the first time that such high-quality equipment had been added to the faction warehouse. Naturally, the reputation required was also sky-high.
However, his main purpose wasn’t to give the equipment to the players but to let the players know that such equipment was produced in Siasa Forest!
Don’t be like the players in the future forum and foolishly miss such a treasure trove.
Around a few thousand meters away, the team of players rescued by Si Sheng were still looking at the sky stupidly.
Once they realized that Si Sheng had really left, they swarmed over to grab the things that Si Sheng had thrown to the ground. In the end, it was naturally snatched away by the wind-type player.
Then he discovered that the small bottle contained medicine.
He shared the potion’s attributes with the team.
This potion could clear all the negative conditions, including serious injuries, poisoning, etc. Judging from the name of the potion, it should be made from the leaves of the Tree of Life.
“F*k, this medicine is incredible!”
“A life-saving miracle medicine!”
“How many are there in total?”
“Four.”
Everyone in the team fell silent when they heard this.
Four pills definitely weren’t enough for them to share. Si Sheng’s purpose of leaving the medicine… probably wasn’t for them.
After all, this number was just right for the four seriously injured NPC warriors. Their health might’ve been restored under the effect of Sprouting, but the negative status hadn’t been eliminated and they were still losing health.
If they weren’t treated, they would probably die.
The six players looked at each other.
At this time, human nature was put to the test.
If it was in reality, they would’ve rescued these people without hesitation. However, this was a game and these four warriors were just NPCs…
“What should we do?” Everyone looked at the team leader.
These four pills could definitely be sold at a high price.
There was no need to sell it to players. They could find a wealthy NPC to sell to and then exchange the Escher coins for money. It would be a lot of money, so it was hard not to be tempted.
They might have feelings for these four NPC warriors, but it was hard not to be shaken in the face of huge benefits.
Finally, the team leader gritted his teeth and said, “Save them!”
“But…” Someone obviously hesitated.
“Don’t forget. This is what Si Sheng left behind.”
The team leader said, “He left the pills behind to save the soldiers. If we don’t save them, putting aside the issue of favorability, do you think our faction reputation will drop to negative?”
Everyone was startled.
They thought of Si Sheng’s terrifying strength and the laws of the Roland faction. Even if they had many crooked thoughts, they finally restrained themselves.
“Hahaha, of course, saving people is the most important thing! Money is something outside of our bodies!”
Finally, everyone reached a consensus and fed the four pills given by Si Sheng to the four seriously injured NPC soldiers.
Soon, the negative status of the soldiers who swallowed the pills was almost instantly cleared up. This made people sigh at the miraculous effect of the pill.
Just then, he heard someone say in the public channel, “Look, there are new items in the faction warehouse!”
“What the hell, legendary quality equipment?”
“The Sword of Siasa… the screaming dryad… oh my god, could this be the map we are exploring now?”
“Very likely!”
“So the screaming dryad has a chance to drop legendary equipment?”
Everyone’s eyes lit up when they heard the news.
Not many people had seen equipment of legendary quality. Now, a monster on a certain map would actually drop it?
Wasn’t it just a screaming dryad?
Push, push, push, directly bulldoze them!
The team of players who had just been rescued by Si Sheng looked at each other. Then they looked at the ‘corpse’ of the screaming tree monster.
Since interstellar beasts didn’t drop equipment after death, they also developed a fixed mindset of thinking that monsters in the game wouldn’t drop items unless they were humanoid monsters.
It was only now that they realized they were totally wrong!
The players rushed to the body of the screaming dryad. They searched for a while and actually found a bow.
It was dirty and the original appearance couldn’t be seen at all. They didn’t care about anything else. They quickly took the bow and left to avoid it being snatched away by other teams that rushed over.
“F*k, why did you all run away? I’m still stuck in the rock. Someone, help pull me out!”
Xiao Ye shouted in the channel.
The team leader couldn’t help asking him, “Why didn’t you say anything just now?”
Xiao Ye replied, “I saw that the problem was solved by Si Sheng. I just happened to go to the toilet because I had to pee urgently.”
“Brother, wait for others to come over! Jiayou!”
“……”
On the other side, Xu Sili was unaware of the players’ choice and dispute. He closed the faction warehouse interface. Then he and Si Sheng came to the strange giant tree.
He had discovered that the screaming dryads should have a sense of ‘territory’. There will definitely not be a second tree within a hundred meters.
But the tree in front of them clearly didn’t follow this rule.
