I got an S-level talent in the apocalypse, and I will lead Blue Star to rise

Chapter 9 Clue
"It doesn't work," Ning Jun muttered, but was not surprised.

After all, if the task was so easy to complete, the system wouldn't give them four hours.

"Do you have any idea?" she looked up and asked Xiao Qichen.

The man said nothing, but walked around the tree.

"Let's go look around first to see if there are any clues."

In his previous life, he had never entered this copy.

Most dungeons involve killing monsters. Even if you're rescuing someone, as long as you kill all the monsters, you're considered done.

He had never encountered such a copy that was simply for treatment.

Is it because this game is still in beta?

In his previous life, he did not participate in the internal test. Perhaps this is the biggest difference.

This cave looked very big, but they soon reached the end after walking for a while.

Fortunately, they finally found a clue.

At the end, there is a relatively smooth stone wall with a painting on it.

The most eye-catching thing is a giant tree. Around it, there are several little people lying on the ground, kowtowing and kneeling.

The person in the front was dressed particularly differently, and seemed to be wearing a crown on his head. He was probably a priest or something.

Around the giant tree, there is a circle of lines extending outward, perhaps representing "light"?
"Xiao Qichen, look, this is the Jade Purple Tree, right?" Ning Jun pointed at the giant tree in the painting. "It really looks like it."

Xiao Qichen took a step forward. "This should be a scene of people offering sacrifices to the Jade Purple Tree. It seems that humans must have lived here a long time ago."

But in Yu Zishu's memory, there seemed to be only animals.

Ning Jun's imagination was aroused, and he said with a smile, "Could it be that this painting is instructing us to offer sacrifices to the Jade Purple Tree in order to revive it?"

This statement made her laugh.

Xiao Qichen looked at her deeply and said, "Maybe."

"Ah?" Ning Jun's eyes widened. "I just said it casually, you don't believe it, do you?"

She thought it was a joke, but she didn't know that Xiao Qichen was very serious.

"If you can't find any other clues, then try your guess."

Ning Jun frowned, "But I don't want to kowtow, it feels so weird."

Especially, kowtowing to a tree feels even weirder.

Xiao Qichen raised his hand and pointed at a point on the mural that Ning Jun had not noticed.

"For sacrifice, the offering is more important."

Ning Jun looked in the direction he pointed.

In front of the man wearing the crown, there were three strange things. Compared with the trees and people, they were inconspicuous, so Ning Yun missed them.

"Is this a pig's head? The ears are very obvious." Ning Jun squinted his eyes and moved closer, trying to identify what the offerings were.

"The second one looks a bit like something to eat," she said, taking a closer look. "Is it an apple?"

The third thing, they looked at it for a long time but couldn't figure out what it was.

Based on his limited historical knowledge, Ning Yun remembered that people in ancient times also needed utensils for sacrifices.

Could it be that the third thing is a tripod?

But, it’s really not visible in the murals.

Xiao Qichen didn't dwell on this, "Let's go find the thing first, it's probably on the monster."

The two walked out of the cave. On the way, Ning Jun couldn't help but feel curious.

"Did you draw that wheel? I got a really good talent. There's a chance you'll get double the supplies when you open boxes and chop down trees. What's yours?"

Ning Jun has full trust in Xiao Qichen.

Xiao Qichen glanced at his own sword and said, "I drew the Red Blood Sword, it's a platinum weapon." Sure enough, what he held in his hand was not an ordinary weapon.

"Platinum?" Ning Jun was curious. "I've only seen regular boxes and bronze boxes. How is this game graded?"

Xiao Qichen didn't have time to tell her many details of the game.

"Chests are divided into five tiers: ordinary, bronze, silver, gold, and platinum. The same applies to the stat-enhancing equipment in the game. However, food, daily necessities, and even some more specialized items are not tiered."

Ning Jun sighed as he listened, "I feel like this isn't just a survival game. I wonder if there will be any professions or immortal cultivation later on."

People who love to read novels always have very big imaginations.

"No, there are only free attribute points as rewards, which can improve your physical fitness." According to Xiao Qichen's memory, there was no magic, supernatural powers or the like until his death.

Ning Jun was a little disappointed. "It would be great if there really was magic. I'm quite curious about what it would feel like if I could do magic."

She held the dagger, pretending it was a staff, and tapped it lightly, "Swish, Fireball!"

Unfortunately, no fireball appeared in front of him, but a black shadow appeared instead.

Before Ning Jun could react, Xiao Qichen slashed at him with a knife, killing him instantly!

It was so fast that she couldn't see the monster's face clearly, only a dark shadow.

She deeply felt how huge the gap between people was.

She had a hard time catching a rabbit, while others had already killed the monsters in seconds.

After the monster disappeared, two things were left on the ground: bread and a baseball cap.

"You keep it, I don't need it." Xiao Qichen picked it up and handed it to Ning Jun.

This time, Ning Jun was not polite at all. "Don't take the bread. I still have a lot here. I don't like to eat it. I'll keep the hat. It's sunny now, so I can use it to block out the sun."

Xiao Qichen didn't say anything and put the bread away.

There are no animals on the seemingly quiet grassland, but there are many monsters.

I encountered two more and they were both dealt with by Xiao Qichen.

This time, Ning Jun finally realized that it was not that she couldn't see the monster's face clearly, but that these monsters had no faces at all.

It's like a three-dimensional shadow.

When monsters appeared, she would stay away from them, trying not to cause trouble.

She didn't think that just because Xiao Qichen killed monsters so easily, she could do it too.

Why? Just because of her measly 5 points of strength?

Instead of doing this, she might as well use her strengths and open the box!

After the monsters are killed, some will only drop boxes. This is Ning Yun's stage.

[Ding! Congratulations on triggering your 100% Critical Hit talent!]

[Ding! Congratulations on triggering your 100% Critical Hit talent!]

Ning Jun opened the boxes three times in a row, and his talent was triggered each time. For the first time, he felt the joy of buying something for free!
Except for some equipment with added attributes, Xiao Qichen didn't want anything else, and basically put everything into Ning Yun's backpack.

The reasons he gave left Ning Yun with no room for rebuttal.

"My backpack is empty."

She watched helplessly as the other party took the lighter and threw away the matches, which showed that he was not lying.

This grassland is a little smaller than Ning Yun imagined.

They killed monsters for more than an hour, and two quest items dropped from them.

Now, there is only one left.

But for this one, they searched for almost 10 minutes and didn't see any new monster.

"Xiao Qichen, how about we go back to the cave and take a look?"
