Plains of Peeta

A few more hours later, the forest was finally crossed, revealing a big stream with crystal clear waters.

Reflecting the sunlight, the clear waters reveal the interior of the rocks and stones at the bottom, and some small and more significant fish are seen swimming.

It was a very beautiful scene to see, like a great painting in real life.

"This is the Middle Stream. According to the map, it is the divider between the Silent Moon Forest and the Plains of Peeta, further ahead is where I will find creatures from levels 30 to 60. In the Plains of Peeta there are only three types of creatures, the Angry Buffaloes, Hornless Rhinos, and Living Tree, fighting them will be good training in dodging and attack speed" Lin Yun looked at the information before continuing.

Walking through the stream, a slight chill runs through his feet due to the icy water.

With no creatures around, the stream looked more like a beautiful landscape without any danger. A good place to rest and enjoy the view.

Lin Yun enjoyed the icy winds blowing on his face while wearing cloth shoes that were wet from the river.

"The feeling is like walking in a real river. This type of scene would only be possible if I were in a forest or mountain, but here in the game it is possible to enjoy the sensation without leaving home." The young man closed his eyes to feel the surrounding scenery.

"hm???" Walking along the river and looking down, a strange thing was sighted, something reflecting the sunlight.

Something that shiny wouldn't be a stone.

Digging through the rocks and dirt, a skeleton holding a necklace appeared.

"What is that? A skeleton holding a pendant? This is that little thing people use to save a precious photo. I just forgot the name of it." A golden, ornate item caught in the water, it looked like a brooch or necklace with a space to hold a photo, but the chain was missing.

When touching the skeleton, both disappear and enter the inventory.

"You have acquired: Lost Necklace"

"You have acquired: Strange Skeleton"

Lost Necklace: An item that once belonged to a pureblood young woman of the Blood Race.

Strange Skeleton: A skeleton of some member of the Blood Race.

ding…

"Return of the Necklace - You have found an item that was long lost by a noble maiden named Lamya Morgan of the Morgan family of Gray Stain City. Now is the time to return to its owner before she passes away."

Difficulty: E

Time: 527:59:59

Reward: ????

"A quest!!! I didn't imagine I would receive something like this when walking in these remote places. The item belongs to someone from the nobility, it won't be difficult to find this NPC, the problem is going to her. To meet with the nobles, the player needs Influence Points in the city or with such a family, I don't have any of that, so there is only one alternative, to get the attention of this noble so that she comes to me, the only problem is that I am arrested for this. It's really troublesome... The quest has a time limit of twenty-two days, it seems like I have to pay a visit to Gray Stains City ahead of time. Twenty-two days is all I have to travel across the Plains of Peeta, with no chance of reaching the savannah. It's really sad, but there's nothing I can do about this matter. Even though I don't like quests, this is one of those that could provide some benefits in the future." Lin Yun made some quick calculations and decided to do things more hastily.

Instead of resting the character, he would always leave Hunger Points below forty to optimize gains.

So, the young man stopped wasting time and ran across the stream, some fish were caught on the way to serve as food for later.

On the other side of the river, there were still some tree barriers, which were crossed with a few steps. Beyond the Silent Moon Forest, an expansive plain of green grasses and scattered small trees, the refreshing wind blew across Lin Yun's face, as he closed his eyes to enjoy the breeze, the sight before him was magnificent.

In his real life, he would never see something like this in person.

The Angry Buffaloes calmly eat and chew the grass, the Hornless Rhinos sleep while the Living Trees are seen walking on their two wooden legs from one side to the other, very different from the Sprouts.

Lin Yun spotted the nearest creature, a pack of five Berserk Buffaloes, stamping the ground hard, his body darting forward.

"AHH!!!" 

PANG!!!!!

A powerful kick hit the buffalo's side, pushing the creature to the side until it fell.

MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

The other four buffaloes moo in anger when their companion is attacked, they aim the horns towards Lin Yun and attack, charging at great speed towards him.

stomp!!!! stomp!!!!!

The group charges like unstoppable tanks.

"…" The young man was not intimidated and also charged forward.

Just as the two sides were about to collide, Lin Yun stepped onto the ground with all his strength, leaping over the four buffaloes and landing next to the fallen one.

PANG!!! PANG!!!!

Quick punches and kicks fall on the big body like rain.

SOOOOO!!!

The creature moos in anger and tries to get up, only to be knocked down again by a heavy kick from Lin Yun, who activates Double Kick.

The HP bar slowly drops, at a pace as slow as a turtle.

The Steel Gloves used by Lin Yun was just a newbie weapon, something that level 1 uses, so the damage is so low that it doesn't even reduce the bar, with just three punches it can see a slight difference.

But something surprising happened during the hits.

Roots as thick as an adult's finger come out of the ground to wrap around the Angry Buffalo's large body like a rope, not just one, but eight roots.

What is that??

Another surprising scene is that the buffalo's HP dropped faster.

This is the effect of Sprout's rare drop, the Root Ring.

Root Ring: A ring forged from the roots of a living tree-type creature.

Effect: When performing basic attacks, there are chances of using the Living Root skill.

Living Root (Beginner I Level 1): Makes roots grow from the ground to bind the target and drain its energy.

This is Sprout's skill.

Lin Yun defeated this creature more than ten times during the time collecting firewood, and four rings had been dropped. His luck is not bad.

The limit of rings is one on each finger, so Lin Yun used all four at the same time to increase the chances of activating the skill.

MUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!

The other four buffaloes mooed fiercely before charging towards Lin Yun again.

Their earlier irritation at having missed the blow only increased their fury.

(FASTER!!!! FASTER!!!! I NEED TO BE FASTER!!!) That thought was constantly on his mind.

The weak attacks need to be compensated with the amount of hits he could deal.

Quickly, the buffalo's HP reached the bottom, it let out the last moo before exploding into lights and disappearing, and a patch of animal fur and meat was left behind.

The others arrived only to miss again, Lin Yun jumped to the side and dodged the four attacks.

"Now, it's your turn"
