Chapter 219 Patrol Monster

With Dong Changsheng, a human-shaped self-propelled mine detector, Lin Qingfeng and his group's progress became incredibly efficient.

However, Dong Changsheng was somewhat reluctant to lead the way.

He finally understood that no matter how he analyzed things using "the mindset of the strong," no matter which "broad road" he pointed to, the final outcome would be that he would be thrown out like a stone and personally experience what it meant to "lead from the front."

But what good will it do if he doesn't want to lead the way?

Useless.

The reins around his neck were his inescapable fate.

"Dong Changsheng, the road on the left looks good, why don't you give it a try?"

"Snap!" The reins snapped through the air.

"Ah—!" Dong Changsheng's treasure-hunting machine, launch!

A violent explosion and a heart-wrenching scream came from ahead, and after a moment, everything returned to calm.

【Guixi Secret Realm Channel (Team)】

[Lin Qingfeng]: The left side is safe now. There are a few self-destructing fruits, and Dong Changsheng wasn't seriously injured. We've collected all the wreckage we could.

"Dong Changsheng, there seems to be light coming from that cave on the right. Go and take a look."

"Snapped!"

"Ah—! My back!"

A deafening roar of claws tearing and rocks collapsing echoed from inside the cave, accompanied by Dong Changsheng's screams of agony as his bones dislocated.

【Guixi Secret Realm Channel (Team)】

[Lin Qingfeng]: There were several lurking stone ghosts in the cave. Dong Changsheng smashed the stalactites with his body, which triggered the evil-suppressing crystal core mechanism and eliminated them. He took all the evil-suppressing crystal cores!
Along the way, Dong Changsheng was thrown by Lin Qingfeng into various dangerous areas from all sorts of unbelievable angles and in all sorts of positions.

He always manages to escape danger by a series of bizarre coincidences, and in the process, he manages to take down both the traps and the monsters.

Su Ling'er followed behind the group, her heart pounding with fear. She felt her worldview being repeatedly refreshed, crushed, reshaped, and then crushed again.

What kind of evil magic is this?!

Could it be that the eldest brother can not only manipulate people's hearts, but also control the fortune and coincidences of the world?
Each of his throws, seemingly random, triggered a chain reaction that she couldn't comprehend.

Without exception, the final result was the same!

Senior Brother Dong survived, the danger was over, and some interesting materials were even found at the scene...

This is terrifying! This is beyond the realm of cultivators!
Su Ling'er looked at Lin Qingfeng's calm profile and felt a chill run down her spine.

This is simply treating the entire secret realm as their own chessboard, and regarding all living beings, fortune, and even life and death as mere playthings in their hands!
Soon, they arrived at a relatively flat and open platform.

In the center of the platform, a cluster of colorful flowers grows, and a unique fragrance fills the air.

There were several figures holding wooden forks, tree spirits whose bodies were made of vines and bark, and flower spirits with huge petals around their waists.

These monsters scanned the area ahead, patrolling back and forth along the edge of the flowerbeds, as if guarding something.

Strangely, they completely ignored Lin Qingfeng and his group.

Although it's not close, it's not far either, and with so many people around, they should have seen it by now.

This startled all four undercover agents.

This...what's going on?

We're so close, didn't those tree spirits notice us?

Are they blind? Or do they have poor eyesight?

Su Ling'er was equally shocked.

We're a huge group of people standing here, and they don't react at all?

She could clearly sense that the aura emanating from those demons was not weak, at least at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.

If it were a direct confrontation, she felt that she would probably not be able to win by relying solely on her magic techniques.

The larger wood demon might even need to use its "I have a situation to report" ability, which had reverted to its wooden sword form, or even transform into its "Sword Control Technique" form to have a chance of winning. Lin Qingfeng, however, understood what was happening.

Isn't this just the most common monster aggro range mechanism in games?

As long as you don't step into that invisible warning circle, the monster won't attack you.

But he remained extremely cautious.

Who knows what events will be triggered after stepping in? What if this flower bush is a teleportation array that pulls them right in front of a bunch of Core Formation stage demons? That would be a real mess.

Caution is the boat.

Lin Qingfeng silently took a step back, shielding Dong Changsheng in front of him, while he and the others retreated to outside the estimated "event triggering zone".

When it comes to scouting routes, it's best to leave it to professionals.

He gripped the reins tightly.

"Dong Changsheng, go, it's time to scout ahead!"

"Snapped!"

Lin Qingfeng gave the reins a tug.

Before Dong Changsheng could even utter a protest, he plunged headfirst into the center of the sea of ​​flowers in a parabolic arc.

……

Meanwhile, on the other side of the secret realm, on a similar platform.

"Captain, these monsters seem to be unable to see us!"

A scout player reported in a low voice in the team chat.

The experienced captain, "Ximen Chuideng," immediately gave the order:
"Don't be careless! The monsters in this secret realm are mechanic-dependent! Body cultivators and main tanks, prepare to engage; ranged classes, prepare area-of-effect attacks. On my command, let's all engage!"

A well-coordinated team of players cautiously made their way towards the patrolling flower fairies and tree fairies.

However, just as they were about to enter the attack range, the shadow beneath their feet suddenly twisted and deformed!
"Chuck! Chuck! Chuck!"

Dozens of claws made of pure shadow suddenly shot out from the ground, instantly piercing the bodies of several unsuspecting alchemists in the back of the group!
"It's [Shadow Ambush]! Alchemist healers, be careful—!" Ximen Chuideng's warning abruptly stopped.

The team's formation was thrown into chaos.

To avoid the shadow claws beneath their feet, the body cultivators and main tanks instinctively stepped back, only to step right into the area of ​​the [Phantom Flower].

"Om-"

The invisible spores spread instantly, invading their consciousness.

"Holy crap! How come you're all red-named?!"

"No, I feel like I can't control my body anymore!"

Several main tanks roared, their eyes turning bloodshot, and then picked up their giant hammers and smashed them down on their teammates.

"You're crazy! It's us!"

"I have no choice! The system has indicated that we're in a 'chaotic' state! In that case, it's time to test your cultivation! Let's fight!"

The entire squad instantly descended into infighting, and was ultimately slaughtered by the patrolling monsters and the endless stream of Shadow Claws, nearly resulting in their complete annihilation.

……

The perspective returns to the present.

Dong Changsheng was thrown into the center of the [Phantom Flower].

The spore attack that the other squads had anticipated did not launch immediately, because as he was falling, a dryad patrolled around the middle and happened to pass by from below.

"boom!"

With a muffled thud, Dong Changsheng slammed solidly onto the tree demon's head!
Dong Changsheng: "?"
