"Don't want to join?" Zamp was stunned, "Didn't I say I would consider it when I came?"
"Think about it now." Zhang Lang nodded to several people: "I plan to take risks alone."
To be honest, Zhang Lang did consider finding an adventure organization on his way back. After all, this world is unfamiliar to him, and the environment and terrain are still complex. It would be more efficient to have a guide accompany him to complete the task.
As for the altar's requirement to do the tasks alone, he could try to deal with the monsters by himself without letting others interfere. He wanted to see how the altar judged.
For this reason, when he handed in the task to Murong Wei, he paid special attention to the news about the altar.
As a result, the altar recognized that he had completed the branch line of teaming up to complete yellow and above tasks, and opened the task difficulty reward. However, the task of defeating the Demon Tiger Armor was also counted as team completion, and only gave him a reward of 750 points. .
It seems that the judgment of the altar is very simple and crude. If four people form a team, he will only get a quarter of the points.
From this point of view, even if he only brings one guide, his final score will be halved. What's more, the guide may be a hindrance and may not be faster than completing the task by himself.
"Mr. Hunter..." Kidman also planned to give some advice: "I heard that you are a newly registered adventurer, and you may not know much about the situation on Qiongluo Island. I don't doubt your strong strength, but you are not familiar with this place. All the places I have been to are different. Many tasks here cannot be completed by individual bravery. A little carelessness may even be life-threatening..."
As Kidman spoke, he also paid attention to Zhang Lang's expression. Seeing that he had no intention of wavering, he changed the subject:
"Even if you don't want to join the organization, I suggest you establish an alliance with our Dragon Knight Adventure Group so that we can help each other when necessary."
Hearing this, Zhang Lang finally raised his eyebrows: "Speaking of which, I really need your help with something."
Kidman's eyes lit up: "What's the matter? Please tell me!"
Zhang Lang took out a black-edged task list: "I plan to do this task this afternoon. I heard that you also accepted it. Please don't hinder me."
Kidman took over the task and saw that he was the new leader of the fifth level of hunting. This is exactly the task that the Dragon Knights are trying to conquer!
"Don't get in the way?" Kidman was choked and speechless. Before he could react, Zhang Lang had already taken back the task list and walked out of the lobby of the Adventurers Association.
There were many adventurers in the room who witnessed this scene, and they immediately started talking about it. As for the four masters of the Dragon Knights, they stared at each other and were embarrassed at the scene.
"Deputy leader, what should I do?" Zamp and the other three, who had seen Zhang Lang's methods, knew that this man was proud and didn't dare to refute just now. However, their adventure group was said to be a hindrance, and they still felt unhappy. .
"Hurry up and find the team leader!" Kidman rolled his eyes, turned around and ran out: "Let's go to the fifth floor too!"
"Are we going too?" Zamp blinked and chased after him: "But didn't he say not to interfere? This guy has a weird temper. If he is annoyed and a conflict breaks out, I'm afraid..."
"We are just watching!" Kidman quickened his pace: "If he is really as powerful as you say, he might really be able to fight the Lord of the Fifth Floor to the detriment of both sides. If we win, we will just watch and learn some experience. If we lose, Now, when the time comes, it’s up to us to decide whether to sell favors or reap the benefits!”
Let’s not talk about how the Dragon Knights gathered manpower, but Zhang Lang, after leaving the Adventurer’s Guild, walked eastward to the outside of the city. After leaving the protective shield, he could see the almost level first layer of tree crowns.
As we got closer, the enormity of the World Tree was even more shocking. Any leaf was like a thousand-square-meter green square, and any branch was like a bridge or highway in the sky.
And there are not a few, dozens, or hundreds of such squares and bridges, but tens of thousands, densely packed and stacked on top of each other, filling a three-dimensional city that is hundreds of square kilometers in size and hundreds of meters thick. The inhabitants are billions of various magical giant insects!
And this is just the first layer of the World Tree!
Even though Zhang Lang had experienced dozens of worlds, this was the first time he saw such a wonderful landscape.
But now, he has no time to linger on the beautiful scenery. He taps his toes to the ground, rises into the sky, lifts up the sky, steps on the moon, and goes straight to the sky.
The crown of the World Tree has nine layers in total. The most amazing thing is that the ecology and environment of each layer are different. The first layer looks like an enlarged version of ordinary trees, but the tree crowns above are all kinds of strange.
Some layers are full of strange flowers, which can make all animals that come close to fall into hallucinations; some layers secrete highly viscous resin everywhere, and if people are not careful, they will be wrapped in it and turn into amber wrapped in giraffes; more What's more, some tree canopies are inhabited by a large number of intelligent insect-men, which is like a unique small civilization.
Among them, the most unique one is the fifth level of the World Tree.
This place is more than five thousand meters above the ground. The leaves at the bottom of the canopy have all healed together, enveloping the entire canopy, like a large bowl made of overlapping branches and leaves several kilometers in diameter. In this large bowl, Full of water!
Yes, you read that right, the fifth level of the World Tree is actually a lake thousands of meters above the ground!
In this huge world tree lake, there are various aquatic arthropods living. If you want, you can even catch crabs on the World Tree.
Of course, that assumes you have the ability to subdue a tank-sized crab.
In just a few jumps, Zhang Lang arrived at the fifth level of the World Tree.
He stood on a raised branch by the lake, quietly looking at the sparkling water.
The crown of the World Tree is hundreds of meters thick, so the deepest part of the lake is also hundreds of meters deep. There are also branches of various World Trees, all of which have evolved into forms similar to water plants to adapt to the environment. They are intricate and complex. Looking at the reflected sunlight, I really can't see what's under the water.
But Zhang Lang knew that the real danger lurked beneath the seemingly calm water.
He broke off a fresh branch from the branch at his feet. This branch was more than ten meters long and thicker than an ordinary person's waist. It was already the thinnest branch Zhang Lang could find.
Zhang Lang plunged the twig into the water and began to stir it. Relying on the newly branched leaves, the branch stirred up a lot of movement in the water, and soon the water surface hundreds of meters nearby was making small waves.
Finally, the movement disturbed the monster lurking under the water, and a black shadow began to approach Zhang Lang.
"Wow!" With a loud noise, a mutant crayfish the size of a rhinoceros broke out of the water and rushed towards Zhang Lang waving two big claws!
Zhang Lang snorted coldly, dropped the twig, and fought back towards the crayfish!
