As Duan Qing had expected, the sky-high ancient tree located in the central area of the Tingsi Forest has become a gathering area for local players. Countless high-level players who are out exploring or hunting are also carrying it at this time. One piece of loot after another returned to the hollow area in the center of this huge tree, using various skulls, teeth, tough skin, scales and other valuable materials in exchange for useful items and equipment - after specialization The melting pot system seems to have the same obvious tendency when exchanging weapons and equipment as when it was first encountered by Xue Ling Huan Bing. The synthesized props and equipment also have obvious "dragon-type" characteristics, and whether it is a dragon bone The weapons are made of skin scales and armor made from the core of sub-dragon monsters. Its sharpness, toughness and special effects are no less than the top epic items and equipment from the outside world.
The reason why the high-quality "dragon" equipment here has not been widely circulated on the mainland is mainly because the top players here have been using these equipment to continue to move forward, greedily requesting and hunting for higher-level existences.
"Appeared, appeared! Appeared in areas s32 and w21! It's the special-grade Cangye Fire Dragon!"
"Zhan Wushuang and the others are back from the dead! We are calling for more support!"
"So when you encounter this kind of special dragon species, don't think about taking it all by yourself! We may not be able to kill that guy if we all work together. We have to wait until we kill it to distribute the spoils."
"Don't even think about it! My 'Dragon Heart Armor' just lacks a top-quality material! The fire dragon's dragon heart is simply perfect! If anyone stops me, I will fight with him!"
"You see, they can't even separate themselves, so how can they tolerate the presence of outsiders?"
Pointing to the huge dragon roar that was faintly heard in the distance towards the crowds of people running out from the center of the huge ancient tree and countless figures with shining equipment, Duan Qing, who was hiding on the roadside, smiled bitterly and gestured behind him: "Look for more information. Are there too many people to share the good things here?"
"Human greed does not allow you to make such a choice on your own, but according to normal principles, more people will help you defeat more powerful opponents." Fula, standing in the shadow of the trees behind Duan Qing, said He replied expressionlessly: "It's just that you adventurers are particularly bad at uniting."
"That's right, unless it is a large guild organization, when encountering such a powerful enemy, major adventure groups usually resolve it with a chaotic battle." Duan Qing watched batch after batch of golden lights. The players rushed towards the place where the commotion occurred: "The chaos will not even end after the boss...ah, no, it will end after the powerful enemy is killed. Then there is probably only one Fire Dragon Heart, and these people must still have to grab it." It’s been a while.”
"Although I am very interested in that special dragon species, it is better to focus on our own affairs at the moment." Feeling the atmosphere gradually quieting down nearby, Duan Qing then exhaled heavily: "Come on , now is the best time.”
"Even if the Magic Empire has manpower deployed here, they will probably be attracted by this temporary hunting incident."
After adjusting his attire and mood, the gray-robed magician grabbed the cloak that concealed his face and walked out of the bushes nearby. The broad branches connecting the huge ancient tree and the roots of the coiled tree were also visible to him and Furla. The step forward gradually extended into a long-explored road, gradually revealing the huge space inside the hollow tree hole in front of Duan Qing - different from the memory he had left when he had been here once before. At this time, this vast internal space has been transformed into a towering hall by countless pioneers who came here, with a blazing stove, a dark red light pillar that cannot be seen from the top, and various magic equipment built based on the light pillar. It also stands tall in the center of this nearly circular hall, dwarfing the other players and the various equipment they have installed around them. It seems that it has been operating here for a long time. The various props and equipment placed in the central area of this ancient jungle by many players who have been resident here look very old, dark and dusty and have been used for a long time. The scratches left afterward also appear under the light of these furnaces that are constantly beating and instigating, but the finished products that appear accidentally shine with a dazzling brilliance. It seems that they have become accustomed to the results of producing these high-quality equipment. The players who operated these equipment and tools just checked them casually and then threw them aside. Even those who looked at Duan Qing and Fula The look in Tao's eyes as he appeared outside the gate seemed to have been used to big scenes and mysterious and suspicious people appearing here: "... Silky chicken, keep this one as well."
"Those two people don't seem to be here to collect equipment. They are not from the same camp as those who came to discuss business before."
"Whatever, let's do our own thing. If we don't want to be robbed of business, the right way is to honestly improve our own craftsmanship."
"Oh, if I also had the skills to reach heaven and earth... Next time I will put the 'hook rope' skill into the weapon, so maybe I can really hunt raptors by myself."
"I still like to dream as always, Silky Chicken."
Duan Qing, who also didn't care about entering this place, was sitting around the dark red furnace in the center. Another player who looked like a vendor laughed and pointed at one of the players who looked like a blacksmith who was just talking to each other in a low voice: "Just... Can the hook skill help you hunt? Or are you hunting guys like Velociraptors? Even if you have the speed to catch up with them, it’s still the same if you can’t cut their throats!"
"I, I have a weapon! This is a bone sword that I forged with my own hands! Even my master has approved this work of mine!"
"I know, I know. It's so sharp that it can cut even a level three ancient tree with one knife. But what you lack now is a sharp weapon? What you lack is the skill to cut through other people's weak points!"
"Do you think he is a kind-hearted primary school student?"
Looking at the blacksmith's apprentice, whose face was red from holding back and unable to say a word for a long time, the player vendor who was teasing him then turned his eyes to the other side, trying to find echoes but failed to get the idea of sitting there. The figure in the shadow responded, even half-sitting there didn't seem to move at all: "... Well, it's still as boring as ever."
"Are you really planning to be an honest primary school student here for the rest of your life?"
Still did not respond to the vendor player's words. The lonely figure sitting there just sat there normally. After noticing that the other party was still silent, the loud-voiced vendor then put away his boring expression and waved his hand. Wanting to wave aside the awkward atmosphere that was brewing here: "It's really boring. Once I finish processing the two orders on hand, I will close the stall and go offline."
"...Is it an order from the Magic Empire?"
The blacksmith player who silently struck his own iron and swung the hammer up and down opened his eyes when he heard the sound: "I said they rarely send people to collect goods recently. It turns out that you have taken care of them? "
"What are you doing? Do you know how much profit there is in this? Since those of us with weak combat power can't get good equipment, there's nothing wrong with finding ways to make money, right?" The vendor also looked helpless when he answered. He was impatient: "It's too late for me to start now. When I contacted them, the orders given to me were already much less! Someone must have betrayed his trust and broken the alliance and grabbed the supply of goods in advance without telling us!"
"Hey, elementary school student, do you know who it is?"
Hiding his indignant appearance and sinister intentions, the vendor then once again cast his malicious gaze on the silent man in the corner. Duan Qing, who was looking in the direction of his gaze, also paid attention early. When it comes to the player called the primary school student, it seems that he is the person who met him by chance in the jungle before, but said nothing afterwards: "..."
Gu "Just because you don't say anything doesn't mean you're innocent, kid."
Still not receiving any response, he seemed a little annoyed. The merchant waved his fist fiercely, looking like he wanted to hit someone, but in the end it seemed as if he was taboo about something, and finally he slowly put it away: "I claim to be a kind-hearted primary school student, but my behavior is not kind at all... Hey, let me tell you, are you still unwilling to reveal your identity?"
"..."
"I said Lao Zhang, did you pick this guy up?"
Seeing that the other party still didn't respond, the merchant turned to the blacksmith and apprentice on the other side: "Isn't he an undercover agent and spy sent by the Magic Empire? Maybe the treacherous person is him?"
"You ask me, who am I going to ask? I just brought him back and left him a place by the way. You can do the rest by yourself - ahem, this guest."
Interrupting what he originally wanted to say, the blacksmith player looked at Duan Qing who was gradually approaching and cleared his throat. The appearance of concealing his face and the lack of an ID name quickly attracted the attention of others around him. He listened carefully to the conversation between the blacksmith and the two mysterious visitors: "Do you need anything?"
"Sure enough, there are also people in this place who rely on furnaces for a living, although the form seems a little different."
Duan Qing smiled and gestured to his companions behind him. Duan Qing did not respond immediately: "You look like people who build equipment? Are you competing for business with the furnace behind you?"
"Without good materials and full confidence, a normal adventurer would not dare to put all the resources at hand into the furnace." The appearance and conversation implied that the other party was familiar with the background of the furnace, and the blacksmith player replied in a steady voice: "Even with these devices, it's the same - no matter how precious dragon materials are, the chance of getting the weapons and equipment you like is not 100%."
"These devices?" Looking up at the huge dark red iron furnaces and the strange equipment gathered around the furnace light beams, Duan Qing continued to ask in a curious tone: "Who arranged these devices? What is their purpose?"
"It was arranged by people from the Magic Empire."
After saying the name without hesitation, the blacksmith's eyes showed an unexpected look: "Of course, when we came here to beg for food, the supporting equipment for the furnaces here had already been arranged, but according to those early The guys described that after they arranged these things, they didn’t say much, and they didn’t make any excessive demands on the people who were working here.”
"The production efficiency of weapons and equipment in the furnace has been improved a lot - ha, so they just want to use this place as a base camp that can provide them with high-level equipment, and by the way, they can recruit us as workers to provide them with materials!" Duan also confirmed The traders and players in the green camp looked like they had seen through it all, and their words seemed unceremonious: "We had discussed it in secret long ago and resolutely boycotted their monopoly behavior! We resolutely safeguarded our right to survive! As a result, now ——”
He turned his hostile eyes to the silent person on the side again, but his eyes were waiting to see what kind of reaction the other person would have this time. Duan Qing, who took the opportunity to turn his eyes, also looked down with the same gaze. The guy who was half sitting on the ground also stopped for a long time on the four words "Anzhen Shansheng" that represented his name above his head: "...What's your name?"
"Leave him alone, he won't answer you."
The speechless silence lasted for a moment between the few people. Only the energy hum of the furnace and the whistling of the stove were faintly transmitted in the air. The disdainful vendor then crossed his arms and turned his head. That tone Utoya seemed unwilling to continue the introduction: "This guy has been like this since he came here. He named himself a kind-hearted elementary school student, but he turned out to be not only not kind, but also not honest at all."
"A kind-hearted primary school student?" Duan Qing pinched his chin and showed an interested expression: "Kind... primary school student... interesting, is this his name?"
"No, his full name is An Zhen Shan Sheng."
While the blacksmith continued to swing the hammer in silence, the somewhat honest-looking apprentice player next to him bravely clarified: "My master and I picked it up from the edge of the jungle earlier. at the beginning--"
"Anzhen is a good life? Anzhen is a good life..."
Ignoring what the apprentice known as Wu Ji said next, Duan Qing muttered to himself and repeated the name several times: "An Zhen Shansheng... Haha, it seems that they really match up word for word."
"This blacksmith, I would like to see your forging skills. Are you interested in showing them off?" Without continuing these words, the gray-robed magician turned his attention to the direction of the blacksmith: "You forged it. What is the difference between the products produced in the furnace and the products produced by the furnace, and do you have the ability to ship 100% of the products - can you prove it to us?"
"No problem." The blacksmith replied with a meaningless look: "Give me the materials and we can start work now."
"Materials? We are new here, so we didn't prepare any materials...ahem."
Still looking like he was thinking with his chin held high, Duan Qing then coughed and looked behind him: "That -"
"How about you help with the temporary solution first?"
