Chapter 121: Time Limited Quest

“#[email protected]!#!# (Can we help you with anything?)” Ye Cang’s words stunned everyone. The Locust Tree Elder stared blankly before saying: “I didn’t think there would be a half-elf friend amongst you. At the end of this path, you’ll find Kunqi and his lackeys. I hope you can put an end to them, and then bring their cores back to me so that I may cleanse myself. Only then can I help you defeat the flower fairy – Alice.”

“Hurry, brave adventurers. I don’t have much power left…” Kunsa slowly closed it’s eyes, and sank into a deep sleep.

“This should be a time limited quest. Let’s quickly heal up and get him those cores…” ThornyRose said. She thought back to his words but couldn’t determine how long they had, so they had to go as fast as possible.

“If there are no mishaps, then according to the current rate, we have less than 4 hours before he withers or becomes corrupted.” Little Ye Tian said after carefully observing the rate of corruption, the amount of resistance the tree could put up, and the quality of the soil.

Now that she knew the time limit, ThornyRose had an idea. She slowly nodded. “I got it. Lele, how many flame flasks do we have left?”

“Let me count. 1, 2, 3, 4…” Lin Le opened his bag and began counting them one by one. ThornyRose looked helplessly towards Little Ye Tian. “Little Tian, help him count.”

Little Ye Tian merely glanced into the bag. “81 bottles.”

“Everyone come heal up…” Ye Cang quickly took out the food. Because they were in a rush, no one stalled or complained. After all, this quest was related to completing the rest of the instance. After waking up from their shock and dry heaving for a bit, they quickly made their way further down the path. While they walked, ThornyRose assigned everyone their tasks so they had a plan when they had to fight and also for when they ran low on supplies.

ThornyRose also assigned healing duties. Especially Zhang ZhengXiong who only healed when he was about to die, or when he was free. How good would it be if the skill belonged to Little Tian. However, without that spell, he might as well not even be a priest. His mana would just be a decoration. Trying to decide on his role gave her a headache. She couldn’t make him a dedicated healer because he was their best tank. He had life saving skills and his shield was as good as half her equipment put together. She covered her forehead. He must have not taken his meds when he picked that class. Otherwise it must be that damn lowlife’s fault.

“Any further down and we’ll see a lot of treants. They are in groups of around 3 to 5.” Ye Cang described what he saw in the darkness.

“FrozenBlood and I will guard the back. PaleSnow, GreenDew, Little Tian, you guys try to stay in the middle. Shaking Bear, Lil’Dino, Lele, you clear the front. Lele, it’s up to you! Go! Charge to the end!!” ThornyRose shouted. Zhang ZhengXiong, FrozenCloud and Lin Le lead everyone to charge in.

Lin Le ran straight at the treants and 3 flame flasks flew out. Among the flames and howls of pain, his anti-cavalry blade hacked away. Zhang ZhengXiong collided into a treant. FrozenCloud’s wolverine strike struck out. Everyone quickly dealt with them, without any sloppiness.
