Chapter 188
Dark waved his hand, and a ray of light converged. Impmon had been taken back into the Sorting Card.
When everything was settled.
He released Impmon again and asked: "What did you find?"
Imperialmon said excitedly: "Cat, I found a cat!"
Tailmon: "Meow?"
Imperialmon puffed up his cheeks: "It's an anchor, not a cat!"
Chapter 209 The Secret Treasure of Alvette (4k)
The "anchor" found by Impmon is not a real object.
It is a picture of trees of different colors that can only be found when looking down at the forest from a high altitude!
"Are these the trees?"
Dark followed Impmon's guidance to the location of the "anchor" and indeed found a tree of different colors.
The thickness of this tree is only one person's embrace, but the trunk is straight and long, and the leaves are as dense as red maples.
His understanding of plants is still limited, and he can't tell the species of this tree.
But there is no need for this at the moment.
With Impmon's reminder, Dark soon discovered that the arrangement of this red-leaf tree was indeed somewhat unique, forming a shape of an "anchor".
But if this is the fifth landmark, then what should we do next?
Dark couldn't help but take out the treasure map and take a closer look.
However, the treasure map had no route to speak of here, and it was basically a line map between two landmarks.
He looked carefully, and then circled around the red-leaf tree that formed the "anchor", and finally came to the red-leaf tree on the "anchor tip".
There was no other reason, just that the so-called "anchor" was actually quite similar to an arrow.
If you have to find a special point, it should be the point where the "anchor tip" points.
"Is this tree hiding a mystery, or is it suggesting that we should move in the direction pointed by the anchor tip?"
He immediately signaled Impmon and Tailmon to search the red-leaf tree in front of them first.
More than ten minutes later.
The search was fruitless.
He began to try to grope in the direction pointed by the "anchor tip".
Unexpectedly, I found the sixth landmark directly after walking!
It was an unprecedentedly huge cherry tree!
The huge tree crown was in a perfect umbrella shape, and the pink cherry blossoms swayed in the wind, like clouds and rosy clouds.
The fragrance of the flowers was strong but not greasy, and the surrounding environment was also comfortable and elegant.
If there was no time to stop during the exploration, this would definitely be a good place for a picnic.
Dak continued to move forward.
The subsequent exploration was unexpectedly smooth.
There was almost no danger on the way, and there was no need to solve puzzles. It was as if I was watching the scenery along the way, and I found landmarks one by one naturally.
The seventh landmark was a landscape mural carved on the mountain wall.
The mural without any traces of human intervention is actually very famous. It is said that it was completely naturally formed, but it has a foundation that is not inferior to the works of famous artists.
Dak happened to have seen it in "Claire's Travels", and Claire hand-painted it and printed it as an illustration, which is almost exactly the same as the mural in front of him.
The eighth landmark is a jade statue of "Girl Praying", which is also naturally formed and has no flaws.
The ninth landmark is a charming lake with steam rising like a cloud, and in the lake there is a group of snow-white fish with only a little golden red in their eyes.
The tenth landmark is a vast flower field, with countless exotic flowers and plants vying for beauty spread out in the open terrain, decorating the earth like exquisite embroidery, and butterflies and birds flying among the flowers, not fleeing at all because of people approaching.
…
Every time Dak walked, he drew that scene, and his steps became less anxious.
He gradually felt that since entering this ancient forest, this exploration journey has become less of a test and more of an experience.
Yalvette seemed to be showing a poetic painting to the later ones, from the red leaf forest to the giant cherry tree, to the natural murals, the statue of the saint girl, the cloud lake, the garden of ten thousand flowers...
Many beautiful scenery and wonders from all over the world were moved to this road of exploration by her.
Every step forward is full of surprises.
Dak really felt the kindness from Alvette.
That was probably a sudden idea when she followed the trend and left treasures for the later generations during her student days.
Even if the final treasure is not satisfactory, the wonderful experience of this exploration road is worth the trip.
"I just wonder if the treasure map left by the brave Brett is the same?"
The luminous moss on the rock became dim, and the fungi on the roots and branches gradually emitted light.
Although the soft and dark light can still illuminate the way ahead, the forest is like being covered with a layer of black gauze, turning from day to night.
The road ahead gradually became steeper and continued to move uphill.
Dak found the fifteenth landmark on the mountainside!
It was an inadvertent look back.
The whole forest was included in the field of vision.
The edge of the forest was densely planted with a large number of fungi, which emitted extremely rich pink light in the dark environment.
The outline of the forest illuminated by this was actually a huge heart!
Dak stared at it for half a minute, and finally couldn't help but sigh: "My girlish heart is about to overflow!"
...
"Except for the treasure hiding place, there is only one last landmark left."
"Let's take a rest here first."
Since it has come to this point, Dark is ready to do it all at once until the treasure is found!
However, after this day, he has been a little exhausted, so he just sits down to eat, drink water and rest for a while.
For today's adventure, he specially prepared sandwiches and dried meat that can be stored for a long time. It is a different flavor to take them out and eat them with juice at this time.
Impmon and Tailmon sat on his left and right, looking at the forest below the mountain with curiosity.
Dark's mind moved, and he simply spent some time to summon all the other magic elves.
A total of ten magic elves sat on the mountainside in this quiet night, curiously and happily watching this rare forest night scene.
They were born in the castle. In addition to Impmon, only Wrestling Hawkman flew out of the castle last night.
Although the other magic elves also had the idea of wandering outside, they have not yet implemented it.
The forest night scene at the moment is the most extensive and beautiful scenery they have seen since they were born!
Dark sat with the magic elves, sharing the scenery sketches recorded on the road of exploration, and the smile on his face gradually warmed up.
...
The night was slightly cold...
Dark packed up and continued on the road.
Except for Impmon and Tailmon, all the magic elves have been put into the card.
Now that they have come here, continuing to go up the mountain has become the only way.
And the remaining sixteenth marker is no longer a hand-painted landscape, but a small, cute lizard with big round eyes.
Thinking of the panda and cat before, Dark couldn't help but be alert.
There is only one last marker left to the treasure place. According to the usual logic, it is likely to be the last gatekeeper BOSS!
Therefore...
Even if the lizard is actually a ferocious dragon, Dark will not be surprised.
He gradually climbed to the top of the mountain, and in front of him was a forest with dense trees.
So he continued to move forward.
About ten minutes later, the view suddenly opened up.
After passing through the arbor forest, there was a relatively open flat land, and then there were endless clouds ahead!
He had already reached the top of the cliff!
"Little Devilmon!"
The little Devilmon immediately obeyed the order, flapped its wings and flew to the outside of the cliff, looking down!
At that glance, it was frightened.
It quickly turned back and used its claws and wings to desperately describe what it saw.
"Speak human language." Dark said helplessly.
The little Devilmon calmed down, stuck out his tongue and said, "It's really a dragon!"
...
"It's really a dragon?"
Dark carefully touched the edge of the cliff, and a strong smell of sulfur came to his face!
He quickly covered his mouth and nose to prevent himself from coughing.
Looking down from here, there is a small basin like a crater, and the monster marked as a lizard, which is actually a dragon, is snoring in it.
It was a dragon with a body length of more than ten meters, and there seemed to be magma flowing in the gaps between its red scales.
Not far behind it was a dragon cave!
According to the script of "Dragon Quest" popular at that time, the dragon cave should be the last 17th landmark, which is also the place where the treasure is!
"Is it really like this?"
Dark had a bad feeling when he checked the treasure map in the morning.
The boys and girls of that era always had an inexplicable pursuit of "slaying dragons"
That's not right, even in this era, otherwise "Alibaba's Fourteen Dragon Slaying Styles" would not be so popular.
Whether it is "the brave man travels through mountains and rivers to save the princess captured by the dragon" or "the adventurer goes through hardships to defeat the dragon and gain glory and treasure", the vitality of this story theme is terrifying.
There is a high probability that Alvette was influenced by those stories when designing this level.
The only thing to be thankful for is that if the head and tail of the dragon in front of him are removed, it is only about five meters long, and it is not one of those extremely terrifying giant dragon species!
In other words, it is most likely to be a third-tier monster.
Or maybe it is lower, and it is not certain to be a second-tier six-star monster.
Originally, this was a treasure prepared for the students of the academy. It would be unreasonable to make it more difficult.
Dak carefully weighed the combat power in his hands and felt that it was not a big problem!
With just a thought, several plans appeared in his mind.
And the most direct and effective means among them is undoubtedly to crush it with violence!
For this reason, he must make the most thorough preparations.
Make sure to kill it with one blow!
Never give the dragon any chance to fight back!
