151: Enter the Soget Mangrove dungeon!!

"What prerequisite?"

"Kill a specified number of Treants within a limited time!"

Jiang Ziqing said decisively, "I also got inspiration from the prerequisite for you obtaining the Skeleton Guardian Necklace."

"I immediately went to the crystal light curtain on the side of the Soggett Redwood Forest to check the records and found that the unlock date for the [entry] regarding the title [father of the red tree forest] did not match the date Yang Lin refreshed the top three clearance records."

"Yang Lin is currently the only student who has obtained the title [father of the red tree forest]," Jiang Ziqing added.

Ye Ze pondered for a moment and said, "So Yang Lin saying that there's a chance to obtain the title by clearing in the top three was misleading you."

"But how did you conclude that the prerequisite is killing a specified number of Treants within a limited time?"

"Uh..."

Jiang Ziqing was stunned for a moment, then said somewhat guiltily, "I guessed."

She then said with a firm tone, "But I'm 80% sure, it should be this."

80% sure,

Isn't that still a guess... Ye Ze glanced at her, silently complaining.

"Anyway, we decided to give it a try."

Jiang Ziqing looked at Ye Ze and invited him, "Do you want to join?"

He glanced at the time.

9:45 AM, it was still early.

Ye Ze's original plan was to first practice his blade techniques and archery in the skill practice room for a while, and then go check out the Trial Tower.

"Let's go."

Ye Ze thought for a moment and finally decided to go with Jiang Ziqing and the others to farm in the Soggett Redwood Forest.

If the condition was to kill a specified number of Treants within a limited time, it wouldn't take too long.

It was worth a try.

Seeing that Ye Ze accepted the invitation, joy immediately bloomed on Jiang Ziqing's face.

She quickly walked towards the Soggett Redwood Forest Corpse Fiend Dungeon entrance, as if afraid Ye Ze would change his mind.

The group arrived at the Soggett Redwood Forest Corpse Fiend Dungeon entrance, the vortex entrance was purple, representing a level three danger level.

A bloodthirsty aura came from inside the entrance.

【Notification: You have formed a team contract with students: Jiang Ziqing, Wu Chen, Mu Bai, Xu Siya.】

After forming a team contract through the system, the group stepped into the purple vortex entrance.

Space fluctuated, and the group was teleported into a lush jungle.

Splash!!

The sound of rushing water came from the front.

A river about three meters wide with extremely turbulent water blocked the path of Ye Ze and the others.

Above the rushing water was a wooden bridge casually built from a few logs. The bridge swayed slightly under the impact of the water flow, appearing precarious.

Walking on the single-log bridge, Ye Ze felt a violent shaking. Looking down, he saw surging waves and churning rapids, as if he would be swept in the next second.

"There are many waterways under this rapid flow. Passing through one of them can bypass the Red Tree Demon Warriors ahead and directly face one of the two dungeon bosses - the Swordtooth Treant."

Jiang Ziqing glanced at Ye Ze and said, "If we want to speed clear, taking the waterway is undoubtedly the best choice."

"Mm." Ye Ze nodded and walked forward.

They weren't trying to refresh the fastest clear record now, so they didn't need to take the waterway.

After crossing the single-log bridge, a patch of red trees appeared ahead, as bright red as fire, stretching endlessly.

The trunks and leaves of the trees looked as if they had been soaked in fresh blood, exceptionally vivid and dazzling.

"Hidden within the red forest are monsters called Red Tree Demon Warriors. They are good at camouflage, and once a creature approaches, they will be instantly pierced and shredded by their hard branches," Jiang Ziqing reminded.

At the same time—

The group walked towards the red forest.

A bloody smell permeated the air, and everything in sight was crimson, as if they had entered a world of blood.

Branches rustled, and sunlight filtered through, casting shadows that looked like dancing ghosts, making the atmosphere exceptionally eerie.

"Right, be sure to be careful of the traps in the red forest," Mu Bai's gaze swept around as he reminded them.

After speaking, Mu Bai shot an arrow towards the lower left.

Swish!

The arrow accurately hit a branch sticking out in the lower left.

Crack!

The branch broke!

Immediately after—

Swish swish swish!!

Several sounds of tearing through the air came, and a series of sharp spikes, like arrows, shot out and nailed into the tree trunk beside Jiang Ziqing, making several dull sounds.

"There are many traps here, it's easy to fall victim if you're not careful."

Ye Ze quickly activated [Super Vision], his eyes flickering with a faint light as he scanned the surroundings.

Suddenly, he noticed that the sand ahead was slightly sunken. With a flick of his finger, an electric snake shot out.

Boom!!

A mud pit about 3 meters in diameter and 4-5 meters deep was blasted open ahead, filled with sharp spikes. If someone accidentally fell in, they would definitely end up with seven or eight bloody holes.

"I didn't expect your eyesight to be so good too," Mu Bai looked at Ye Ze with some surprise.

As an archer, Mu Bai had good vision.

When running dungeons regularly,

Facing maps with many traps like this, he was usually responsible for clearing the traps in the dungeon.

But he didn't expect Ye Ze's vision ability to be so outstanding, clearing a trap so quickly.

So—

Under the joint investigation of the two, traps were discovered one by one.

The team did not step on any traps, and their progress was exceptionally fast.

"If we can maintain this pace of progress, the efficiency feels not much worse than taking the waterway," Xu Siya said with some emotion.

Jiang Ziqing also nodded, "And taking the waterway is also dangerous, you could easily be swept off the cliff by the rapids if you're not careful."

"But we can't maintain this pace of advance all the time."

Ye Ze's eyes flickered with a faint light. He slightly raised his jaw, signaling everyone to look not far ahead.

There was a row of red trees there, about a dozen yards tall. A cold wind blew, and leaves rustled down, covering the ground in crimson.

Except for Ye Ze and Mu Bai, the others didn't feel anything unusual.

But after Ye Ze's reminder, the group suddenly felt a strange sensation, as if they were being watched.

Jiang Ziqing cast a detection spell on that row of red trees from afar.

【Red Tree Demon Warrior (Enhanced Elite Grade)】

Level: 25

Combat Assessment: 37 Stars

Talents: Red Tree Body (Grade D), Bark Enhancement (Grade D)

Skills: Red Tree Demon Armor (Tier 3), Protection of the Red Forest (Tier 3), Enhanced Vine (Tier 2), Vine Bind (Tier 2)

Description: Within the Red Forest, Red Tree Demon Warriors are enhanced, gaining a doubled increase in all attributes.

————————

"Within the Red Forest, Red Tree Demon Warriors are enhanced... doubled increase!!" Ye Ze murmured, a trace of surprise flashing in his eyes.

The combat assessment of these Red Tree Demon Warriors was only 37 stars,

Only two stars higher than the Rock Giant,

But they actually possessed two Tier 3 skills,

And within the Red Forest, the attributes of the Red Tree Demon were actually doubled!

This boost was too heaven-defying!

Their actual combat power was probably comparable to some boss-level monsters.

"These Red Tree Demon Warriors are extremely difficult to deal with."

Jiang Ziqing said with a solemn expression, "Their bark is very hard, like a piece of armor, impervious to water and fire. Normal attacks are difficult to break through."
