Chapter 48 Portable Guardian Crossbow Middle-Grade (2/2)
”I know your dilemma. This is a special case. I sincerely hope you can help me.” Lin Jie nodded. ”Rest assured, I can promise you that this crossbow will not be used in wars against other human beings or for research and sale. I can sign a contract with you.”
As an NPC, Blue had its own constraints, such as not being able to sell items beyond the level to players. But for Lin Jie, it was an exception.
”Well, come and get it in three hours.” Blue gritted his teeth.
The Blacksmith's Shop in the City of Light was temporarily closed! All players were pushed out.
”What the… What's the situation? I haven't bought any equipment yet.”
”Hahaha, suit yourself. That's the karma for pushing me away.”
Lin Jie pulled on the cape hood while many players were shouting. In the blink of an eye, he had disappeared in the street corner…
Three hours later, there was another world announcement - The Brotherhood, led by the Wine God Elder, had cleared the Difficult-Level of Castle Wood!
Two minutes later, the Ironwall Empire, with the help of Lin Jie, cleared the Difficult-level of Castle Wood too. At that time, the Kingdom of Glory had only completed 85% of it. There was no doubt that two loud slaps had landed heavily in their faces.
Dozens of bottles of Lineage Potion had been fed to Timmy, killing the Boss was simply as simple as cutting melons and vegetables.
At the same time, the Portable Guardian Crossbow Lin Jie wanted was also forged successfully. Lin Jie paid 15 gold coins for materials and 5 gold coins for forging! The 20 gold coins that he had withdrawn not for long had disappeared.
Lin Jie sighed. ”What a spendthrift…”
Then, he checked the attributes of the giant crossbow.

The damage of the crossbow was not caused by it but from the crossbow arrow. The 100 silver crossbow arrows at hand were the ammunition to the guardian crossbow. Attack increase by 100! That was also the only weapon that the Portable Guardian Crossbow could bear. Strong arrows such as the Mithril arrows would cause this portable crossbow to explode once it was launched, not to mention the legendary Elemental arrows.
With Blue's help, the crossbow was quickly dismantled, taking only 10 minutes! If Lin Jie disassembled it alone, it would take half an hour! The parts of the portable crossbow were packed full in the backpack. Carrying 500 pounds of material had a huge impact on Lin Jie's movement speed, making him ”overweight” and move like a crawling turtle - as players' level increased, bearable load increased accordingly. There was an upper load limit for each level. Once the load exceeded the upper limit, it would affect the movement speed of the players, commonly known as overweight.
By the time Lin Jie arrived at his destination, it had been an hour and a half. If he was moving at a normal speed, it was estimated that he could have reached his destination 30 minutes!
Forest City
Whether one was in the City of Light, Sunshine City, or in other cities, they could be teleported to Forest City. Forest City was inhabited by many decaying creatures. It was a degenerate city! It was said that there were many temples, Bosses, hidden treasures, etc.
In Lin Jie's previous life, Ophadi Wantless had explored the Forest City once and said that he had found an enclosed shrine, and there had been a Soul of All God at the gate. Many players had treated it as a joke.
Rotten wood could be seen everywhere.
Sporadic buds seemed to be telling people that there was no lack of vitality here. It was worth mentioning that in the city, there was a hot spring pool for dark elves. By immersing in it, the recovery speed of players could be increased…
Lin Jie walked towards the interior of the Forest City. The rocky ground was covered with sharp stones like bamboo shoots. This was a spawning ground for Agaricus Spinosa. It belonged to Undead Plant, sleeping all year round. If players hit the sharp objects on the top accidentally, they would be cut, and the taste of fresh blood stimulated the awakening of Agaricus Spinosa.
The dense mushroom array was like mine array!
Although Lin Jie's movement speed had decreased sharply, he still ran through the mushroom array with the memory of his previous life memory and continued to walk deep into the forest. Every step seemed to lower his altitude, but this was not an illusion. The Forest City contained a strange magic array of space. It was said that whoever unlocked the magic array could get a very generous reward straight away!
Dong-
Dong-
The earth suddenly shook. Looking at the coordinates, Lin Jie knew that he was near.
Broken limbs and flesh were everywhere. The broken wings of a bat fluttered vigorously. It grabbed a cat, the size of a cattle, and swallowed it. Blood splashed all over the place.
It was a Bat Demon!
Animal species would always evolve, perhaps due to magical mutations, or because of devouring other species, as well as other reasons. For example, the well-known Vicious Bird had its leader evolved in wisdom and turned into demigods. It gave its power to the beasts which practiced the Druid way so that the Druids broke away from the status of beasts at once and became a species of wisdom, on an equal footing with humans.
At present, this Bat Demon was a sad existence. Its life was full of huge tragedies simply because it had failed to evolve! It had swallowed up to tens of thousands of its fellows in the Forest City, and even a corpse of a middle-ranking mage. Thus, it had gained a fearsome magic power. It possessed half-human wisdom, but was driven by instinct, and had been nestled in the dark Forest City devouring creatures walking past.
But it could not fly! Heavy head and great power became its fetters, making it lose the power to endure a flight.
