After quitting the team, the adventurers regretted it

Chapter 313: Survival in the wild, Leah realizes that she is very smart

same moment.

The tenth level of the Great Secret Realm, Dragon Forest.

"Linda, where are you, come out quickly!"

"It's me, young lady. Stop hiding and come out quickly!"

A girl with a gray face and messy red hair stained with many grass blades, carrying a red sword on her back, shouted feebly.

Above the head is the sky blocked by the dense canopy of trees, and a ray of sunlight barely passes through the gap and falls on the face.

The pride and look in the girl's eyes were gradually replaced by exhaustion.

His face was ashen, his right arm was wrapped in a bandage, and blood was oozing from the wound.

After fighting with Nacho and three other star-level warriors, Leah was seriously injured.

The injury cannot be fully restored by relying solely on the primary recovery potion and hemostatic bandage in the ring.

This is Leah's first real adventure alone.

In the past, there were Linda, Echo, and no matter how bad things were, there was Phyllis, an outstanding graduate of Adventurer University.

She doesn't need to prepare supplies or strategies, she just needs to be careful when defeating monsters.

It wasn't until she had no help that Leah realized she wasn't very smart.

The supplies in the ring were pitiful. There were only three bottles of primary recovery potion, and there was no food prepared at all. There were only a few secretly hidden strawberry cakes. She couldn't help but eat two of them just now.

As for water, there is not even a bottle.

Leah had no idea how to get water in this vast forest. After the Great Secret Realm was closed, even the most common Mondel tree fruits disappeared. She only remembered the book saying that morning dew could be collected.

But the problem is, she is so thirsty that her throat is smoking and she can't wait until tomorrow morning!

After Leah ran all the way and escaped from the pursuit of Nacho and others, she completely lost her sense of direction, and the compass in the ring became useless in the Dragon Forest.

She searched for Linda as she searched for her way back to the common area.

But as time went by, Leah felt colder and colder. No matter where I go, I see the same Mondel tree that seems familiar.

Her surroundings were always the same, so much so that she had to wonder if she was going in circles.

The adventurers seem to have disappeared collectively, and the number of monsters is increasing.

Her fighting spirit was being consumed, and she could clearly feel her wrist protesting when she swung the sword.

This feeling of powerlessness and loneliness made Leah feel even worse.

Then, a thought suddenly burst into his mind: Could it be that Linda had left Dragon Forest long ago and returned to Baige City, and she was the only one who was still looking for him stupidly?

Lulu and Monica have all gone back, and so have Aiko and the others. They are gathering together now, drinking ale to celebrate, completely forgetting that she is the captain of Snow Goose.

Don’t do that kind of thing!

Leah's face grew paler.

"No, they are not that kind of people. If they don't go back, they will definitely be worried!"

Leah gritted her teeth and continued to move forward. Throwing those bad thoughts out of his mind, he angrily took out the last piece of delicate strawberry cake from the ring, and wolfed it down with the fierceness of facing the monster, as if it was an imaginary one, forgetting that he was having a carnival with Linda Aike and others.

Try to stay optimistic and think of the best - that's what Leah planned.

But God didn't have his way.

A soft and mature female voice sounded in her head.

That was the announcement from the World Tree Goddess.

[Dear adventurers, please note that this ten-level secret realm will be closed in ten minutes. Please use the teleportation stone to return in time. 】

"Ten minutes left?"

Leah didn't have a magic watch and didn't know the exact time.

Hearing the voice of the World Tree Goddess, my heart suddenly sank to the bottom.

She ran forward like crazy.

Bet that the area you are in is just outside the Dragon Forest, maybe you can rush out in just ten minutes.

"Linda and Lulu are very smart. They must have gone out long ago. I am the only one left in the forest!"

Leia was not a broad-minded adventurer to begin with, so the bad thoughts that she had finally suppressed came up again. Hallucinations appeared in front of her eyes, and she seemed to see Linda and Aike hugging each other and making love to each other.

Ai Ke snatched her position as captain of the Snow Goose and said with a smile, "It's so much cleaner without that red-haired dwarf."

Linda also nodded with deep sympathy and said, "Yes, I have been unhappy with her for a long time. It is best to stay in the Dragon Forest and never come back."

Oh oh oh!

When Leah thought about it, the corners of her eyes were burning, and she felt like little pearls would fall out.

There are still about a hundred seconds left before the Great Secret Realm is closed.

She raised her head and looked ahead. Why were the trees still as dense as ants, with no end in sight?

Could it be that he was running in the opposite direction, not on the outside at all, but running towards the depths?

Leah stopped, looking confused. Surrounded by big trees as high as city walls, there was not much sunlight even at noon, and the gloomy light was just like her mood.

I felt like crying inexplicably.

The sky is not responding to the call, and the earth and the earth are not working.

Is it so rare to take risks alone?

Looking around, there are Mondel trees dozens of meters high and with crowns as dense as large mushroom caps.

There are still thirty seconds left before the tenth floor closes.

Leah used all her strength to lift her steps.

Forest, forest, what you see is still a forest.

It's like a huge maze with no way out.

Finally, it was over at the last second.

Leah still couldn't get out of the Dragon Forest.

She took off the [Firebird Feather Sword] from her back and held it in her arms.

It was a hot noon, but I felt a bone-deep chill behind my back.

The little light in the forest completely disappeared the moment the Great Secret Realm was closed.

A blood-red, huge sun rose in the sky.

The thing was as big as a millstone close at hand.

An ominous red light illuminates the land.

Under the light, Leah's skin felt painful, as if it was being burned by fire.

I heard the furious roar of the monster.

The distance isn't too far, about five hundred meters at most.

Different from the usual howling, that sound was like a monster stepping on an iron clamp, feeling hateful and angry, completely losing its mind. If an adventurer appears in front of them, they will bite off the adventurer's neck at all costs.

Under the red light, adventurers will be harmed, and the ferocity of monsters will be greatly increased!

To make matters worse, dark clouds gradually gathered in the sky, and within just a few minutes, a heavy downpour fell.

This seemed to be a large-scale magic unique to the Great Sealed Secret. Unlike ordinary rain, this rainstorm had extremely high acidity and was designed to corrode the life barrier of adventurers. Leah only felt itchy all over her body.

She checked carefully and found that the thickness of the life barrier had not decreased much. When converted into specific data, it was -1 or -2.

But there is no sign of stopping the heavy rain, and it may happen in the next day, or even in a month.

Even heavily armored warriors cannot survive in such a harsh environment!

"I have to find a place to hide from the rain."

Leah squatted under a big tree, holding her face in her hands, with a sorrowful look on her brows. She seemed like the kind of fragile beautiful girl in black stockings who couldn't pay off her debt and was attacked by a minotaur in a black jacket to collect her debt.

She relied on the dense canopy of trees for shelter from the rain.

Leah knew very well that this was not a long-term solution in a place like this.

The air was soaked with rain and felt a burning sensation in the throat.

She had to find a wooden house or cave to reduce the damage caused by the rain.

If possible, collect materials in the forest that can restore fighting spirit.

Leah had read a book of Adventurer's Miscellany, which mentioned how to survive in the closed Great Secret Realm.

While the Great Secret Realm is closed, adventurers cannot use teleportation stones, magic and fighting spirit recovery items, and there are no magic elements in the air.

but!

The goddess of the world tree will not cut off all the adventurers' ways of survival, giving them a glimmer of hope.

【Dark tree fruit】.

One of the fruits of the World Tree, it only appears during the closure of the Great Secret Realm. Unable to be taken out, they all turned into ashes on the day the Great Secret Realm was opened.

The effect is: It can restore a little magic power and fighting spirit to the adventurer.

With a sufficient amount of [Dark Tree Fruits] to continuously replenish her fighting energy, she can survive in the closed secret area for a month.

At this moment, hungry Leah was licking the cream of the strawberry cake on her fingers.

It's sweet, but also has the salty taste of sweat.

She wanted to vomit, but tried to hold it back.

In a dangerous closed secret realm, every bit of food is precious.

There is also a water source.

I heard that if there is no water, you have to drink urine.

At this time, Leah suppressed her willful temper and thought of using the juice cup in the ring to preserve urine.

You have to drink what you have to drink.

Anyway, no one else would know that she drank this kind of thing.

After getting over the initial uneasiness, Leah quickly calmed down and displayed the basic qualities of an adventurer.

She thought: Her first purpose was to find a place where she could escape [acid rain] and violent monsters and sleep peacefully.

Next is water and food.

The third is to look for dark fruit.

"There is about 3% fighting spirit left and more than 4500 life barriers. It is enough to deal with one level 30 violent monster. But if there are two, it will be more troublesome. If there are three, you have to escape quickly. If there are four, it will be more troublesome."

Leah shook her head.

Then I might just turn into monster poop.

It took about ten minutes to formulate a survival strategy. Just as the rain was a little weak, Leah used a big sword to cut a 'wooden shield' from a tree and put it on her head to block the rain.

She jumped onto the tree and used the wide view to find shelter.

"The first choice is the cave, but the cave is basically occupied by monsters."

"I can also dig one on the rock wall myself, but it will make too much noise, and it might attract monsters."

"It would be nice to have light and poison magic!"

The former can cut through rock walls silently, while the other is good at corrosion and can easily carve out caves in rock walls.

Leah's flame fighting spirit is only level 30, and she can only melt rocks with the help of skills. Normal fire-based fighting spirit is only as good as a barbecue.

"No, my brain is going to go bad."

After thinking about it for a while, Leah felt dizzy, her stomach was churning, and she felt tired and wanted to vomit.

"It would be nice if someone could help me think."

Although there were Phyllis and Echo in the team, Leah always felt inferior to someone else.

"I don't know if they escaped from the Dragon Forest."

The feeling was made even worse by the thought that I might be the only one trapped here.

Boom!

Boom!

Suddenly, the sound of fighting came from directly ahead.

"Is he an adventurer?"

Leah perked up.

She stood on a big tree and looked into the distance.

About a hundred meters away, six giant magic saw mushrooms were besieging an adventurer.

Under the acid rain, the monster became more and more violent. The big round eyes of the magic saw mushroom released bleeding red light, and 'green veins' bulged on the mushroom's body as if a human being was furious.

It is not an exaggeration to call it Muscle Mushroom.

They are still at level 30, but their combat power is much stronger than those that Leah encountered before.

Attack speed, agility, and ability to withstand hits are all visibly improved.

Rough calculation, the quality is half higher.

It used to be an orange monster, but now it has to be half as powerful as an epic one-star.

Leia asked herself, even if her fire element restrained the grass element, she only had the confidence to deal with two of them.

But the adventurer below who was besieged by the Magic Saw Mushroom actually faced six of them at the same time and still seemed to be able to do it with ease?

It’s too strong!

Leah felt a little happy in her heart. If she could cooperate with the other party, it would be much easier to spend the next month.

But there is a saying that 'it is indispensable to be on guard against others'.

Leah did not jump out rashly, but hid in the tree and observed to see where the other party was.

"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeah~!"

I saw a magic saw mushroom with red eyes rushing towards the adventurer, and was cut in half with a backhand knife.

Under the person's hand, the thick skin of the magic saw mushroom was as weak as the disposable stockings sold at a street stall for 5 copper coins.

Leah bought it once, but she thought the price-performance ratio was quite low and never bought it again. But now when she saw the adventurer killing the magic saw mushroom like chopping melons and vegetables, she couldn't help but think of the useless black thread worth 5 copper coins.

"The star level can't be so strong, right?"

"It's too far away, and the breath perception is blurry. If I were to guess, it should be Yue Jie!"

Leah thought in surprise.

Looking carefully, the besieged adventurer had a pair of big orange ears on his head and a thick, fluffy tail on his back.

Wearing black leather armor, he holds a short sword in his left and right hands.

"Fox orcs, moon-level assassins?"

Leah made a rough guess in her mind.

In just one minute, all six magic saw mushrooms were killed by the fox.

After cleaning up the trophies, the fox suddenly turned back and looked in the direction of Leah.

"It is a very impolite behavior to hide in the dark and observe others."

The fox's voice was clear, and he took out a handkerchief and wiped the monster dirt on the short knife.

Then he made a trick and inserted it into the bag on his waist handsomely.

"Oh, then please come out, Miss."

Leah emerged from the tree warily.

The two sides came close.

Look at each other.

Leah's nervousness was in stark contrast to the fox's calmness.

Why is it a pure-blooded orc?

Leah felt miserable.

If you are a human on the moon level, most of them are easier to talk to.

But orcs are generally violent or sinister. The term "seek skin from a tiger" refers to cooperating with orcs. If it weren't for the fact that the Demon King was about to awaken and all the adventurers were forced to unite as a front, the territorial dispute between humans and orcs might have continued.

"The murderer, Hu'er?"

"Miss Leia from Snow Goose?"

Both sides recognized each other's names.

She met Hu'er because Hu'er was quite perverted and was called 'an adventurer more dangerous than a monster' by Baige Zaobao.

It likes to catch its prey and torture it severely, making the prey fully feel desperate before killing it.

Very bad character.
