Chapter Eighteen: Pet Card

  In the afternoon, deep in the Liede Mountain Range, Ye Chen carefully made his way through the thicket that deviated from the main mountain path.

  The Lava Mountains are also one of the leveling holy lands for players in Lava City at this stage, but this leveling holy land refers to the holy land for solo players and has nothing to do with team players. The experience of monsters in the Lava Mountains is rich, but they are very sparse, so it's not worth it for team players to brush up on them. Therefore, most people who level up in this mountain range are solo players, mainly archers, hunters, thieves, and other professions that are suitable for solo play. There are few magic professions, and Holy Light Priests are even rarer.

  The deeper you go into the Lushan Mountains, the more experience you gain with monsters, but the danger level also increases exponentially. The Red Color Flower is located in the deepest part of the Lushan Mountains, on the legendary Cliff of Falling Eagles.

  As he walked along the winding mountain road, Ye Chen nervously looked at his small map, his eyes fixed on the little red dots marked by the system. Every time one of those red dots approached him, he would immediately retreat and try to avoid it, only continuing on his way when the dot had moved far away.

  That little red dot is the biggest obstacle for players to go to Diving Eagle Cliff - the Barbaric Ape. The Barbaric Ape is a 21-level monster, not too high in level, and its attack, blood, and other attributes are also quite ordinary, not much stronger than the 18-level Mountain Bandit. However, the Barbaric Ape has an extremely powerful skill, Wild Charge. Once it discovers its target, it will crazily approach the target and continuously launch Wild Charges. This mountain road is already very steep, and if a player is hit by it, they may easily fall off the cliff with just a slight carelessness.

  The setting of "God's Arrival" is that if you exceed a certain height, you will die, so players walking on this road are basically doomed once they are locked by the barbarian apes. This is also why no one has found the red flower until now, after all, ordinary players do not have Ye Chen's advantage of carrying a small radar to effectively avoid those roaming wild apes.

  Staring at the small map, walking and stopping along the way, it took more than half an hour to reach the end of the short mountain road. It wasn't until Ye Chen stepped onto Eagle Cliff that he finally let out a sigh of relief.

  The cliff wasn't too big, about the size of a basketball court. As soon as Ye Chen looked up, he spotted a small red flower on the lush green grass. The flower was swaying in the wind, looking very beautiful. Ye Chen's heart skipped a beat with excitement, and he quickly walked over to pick it. Just as his hand was about to reach for the flower, his eyes suddenly twitched, and he saw a green shadow flash by on the side of the grass, darting towards him like lightning - a snake!

  Cyan Viper

  Level: 23

  Life: 1600

  Skill: Toxic Fangs, prey bitten will be in a poisoned state, losing 10 points of life every second for 10 seconds.

  Looking at the attributes of the Cyan Phosphorus Snake skill, Ye Chen's face suddenly changed color, and he wanted to retreat immediately, but it was too late. His arm felt a slight pain, and he had already been bitten by the Cyan Phosphorus Snake on his forearm.

  －86，－10，－10，－10，－10……

  A string of damage values popped up above Ye Chen's head, and his blood gas also plummeted rapidly. He didn't even dare to launch an attack, and instead quickly gave himself a Dark Healing spell, +151, which instantly boosted his blood gas by a lot, with almost no loss. This was also one of Er Nai's advantages - she could both fight and heal, and if her equipment could keep up, soloing was still pretty good.

  Before the cyan phosphorus snake could strike again, Ye Chen quickly retreated while humming a low tune and swung his staff to fling out a black fireball.

  -433, a blood-red damage number floated above the head of the cyan phosphorus snake, and its life bar suddenly dropped by more than a quarter.

  The damage was so high also because Ye Chen's 5-level black fireball had outstanding power. An ordinary 19-level player might not even have half of Ye Chen's black fireball power. The black fireball skill is one of the initial skills of the dark priest, with a damage of 110% at level 1. After that, each upgrade of the skill increases the damage by 10%. Ye Chen only practiced this skill because he didn't have enough money, so his black fireball reached level 3 as early as level 15, which is higher than most players' black fireball skill level even after level 20. Now, with two equipment items that increase the black fireball skill level, his black fireball skill damage can reach a terrifying 150%.

  While retreating, he continuously slapped the black fireball onto the Qingxin Snake's body. In just a few moments, he had drained the 23-level Qingxin Snake of its blood and qi. With another Dark Healing Technique, he restored his own life to full. The thick-bodied Qingxin Snake let out a final hiss as it fell before Ye Chen. In an instant, the dead snake transformed into tiny white lights, from which two items dropped down.

  One was two silver coins and the other a pale green card.

  "Pet Snake Card" (Omnipotent, effective against monsters below level 30): Use this card on a white-named snake-type monster with a level no higher than your own to seal it as a pet.

  Ye Chen's heart skipped a beat, the Pet Card was a great thing. For hunters who wanted to have babies, they had to buy this item. Although snakes were not very popular, the versatile snake type was worth at least 7 or 8 gold coins, which was a decent income.

  If I'm lucky enough to catch a pet, I can sell it to the hunter and make some small money. Unfortunately, my level is too low, and even if a white-named pet appears when brushing this green snake, it's basically 23 levels, and my level isn't enough, so I basically can't catch it.

  Unless you're extremely lucky and manage to hatch a level 1 Qingxin Snake, that would be a real fortune, but the probability is just too low to consider.

  Put away the pet card, Ye Chen took three steps and two steps to get in front of the red-colored flower. Looking at the pink flowers swaying in the wind, a hint of joy appeared on Ye Chen's face. He hurriedly took out the silver small shovel from his backpack and carefully dug up the red-colored flower from its roots.

  "Ding, congratulations, you got a red flower."

  He put the picked red flowers into his backpack, and Ye Chen's eyes scanned around, soon finding another red flower a few steps away. This time he was smarter, looking at the nearby grass several times to make sure there were no green phosphorus snakes hiding before walking over and starting to dig with his small shovel.

  Harvested the second red flower, looked up and saw that other red flowers were surrounded by green phosphorus snakes, since not killing monsters couldn't pick red flowers, Ye Chen had to choose a target and start a massacre.
