Chapter 329 Exam Task 1: Spiritual Crystal Essence
Su Nian had just driven the mecha into the border of Lingfeng Mountain. The watch's positioning automatically started the mission as soon as it entered the area, and a three-dimensional holographic image appeared in the air.
It clearly shows her exam task:
Task 1: Collect three extremely rare and hard-to-find materials, namely "Spiritual Crystal Essence", "Purple Flame Divine Tree Core" and "Fantasy Dream Scale Stone".
Task 2: Extract a venom called "Bone Erosion Poison" and its antidote "Bone Erosion Detoxifier" on site.
Mission Three: Capture the specific mutant star beast "Phantom Flying Chicken".
Faced with these tasks, Su Nian was not at all panicked. She had already studied the geography, ecology and other related theoretical knowledge of Lingfeng Mountain very thoroughly.
Faced with these tasks, Su Nian was not at all panicked and quickly planned the route in his mind.
"The spiritual light crystal is in the secret cave at the top of Lingfeng Mountain. The core of the purple flame sacred tree is on a specific giant tree in the ancient forest on the mountainside. The dream scale stone is beside the pool at the foot of the mountain. The material of the bone-eroding nether poison is deep in the swamp. The key ingredient of the bone-eroding detoxifier is under the rock layer. The phantom flying chicken often appears in the foggy area in the valley."
Just as Su Nian was thinking, a message suddenly popped up on the exam watch: "Student Su Nian, your optical computer is turned off, which affects the live recording of the entire exam and may have a negative impact on the grading. If you encounter any difficulties, please explain in time and the school will handle it as appropriate."
Su Nian frowned slightly and replied immediately: "Teacher, I was followed by an unidentified person during the exam. For safety reasons, I will temporarily shut down the computer. I will do my best to complete the task."
After replying, Su Nian took a deep breath and ran towards the top of the mountain with a determined look, ready to look for the spiritual crystal essence first.
After Su Nian quickly replied to the message, Captain Ling Ying was instantly synchronized.
Captain Ling Ying looked serious, his hands dancing quickly on the console, inputting a series of complex instructions. His eyes were focused and sharp, as if he could penetrate the screen and solve the problem directly.
A moment later, a message popped up directly from Su Nian's watch. "Student Su Nian, this is Ling Ying." Then came a detailed prompt: "Please open the optical computer and authorize the repair of the positioning program."
Relying on his superb skills and rich experience, Captain Ling Ying quickly found the loophole that caused Su Nian's optical computer to be located. Through a series of precise operations, he wrote a special repair code and prepared to carry out a comprehensive repair and protection of Su Nian's optical computer to ensure that it would no longer be subject to any illegal positioning and tracking.
Su Nian did not hesitate at all, quickly opened the light computer and authorized it.
She was filled with gratitude. She didn't expect that Captain Ling Ying could detect her predicament so quickly and accurately and lend a helping hand at the critical moment. She knew that without Captain Ling Ying's help, she would have difficulty dealing with such a difficult situation. Because the entire exam needs to be recorded live on the optical computer for easy grading, and opening the optical computer may cause unidentified people to track her again, thus affecting the exam.
……
Su Nian drove the mecha all the way to the top of Lingfeng Mountain. The closer he got to the top, the lower the temperature became, with ice and snow mixed together, and the biting cold wind blew on the outer shell of the mecha like a knife.
There are many caves on the top of the mountain, and they are intricately distributed. It is not easy to find the secret cave where the spiritual light crystal is stored. It is said that the spiritual light crystal will only form deep in the cave when it is blown by a specific wind direction, after a long period of accumulation, and when the humidity and temperature of the surrounding environment reach extremely harsh conditions. It is characterized by a cold color, and the depth of the color will change with the slight changes in the surrounding environment.
Su Nian carefully controlled the mecha and carefully observed every cave around her. From time to time, she would see two or three mechas and a flying machine passing by. Everyone was focused on their own goals and currently they were still in a peaceful state. But Su Nian knew that as the exam progressed, the competition might become more intense.
Su Nian had searched 10 caves on the top of this snowy mountain, but still found nothing. The cold temperature seemed to freeze her blood, but she had no intention of retreating.
Because the cave was too narrow for the mecha to enter, she could only park the mecha outside and walk in alone. The light in her hand illuminated the dark cave ahead, and the other hand tightly grasped the climbing rope. She skillfully nailed the climbing nails to the wall of the cave, using it as support and carefully climbed down.
At this moment, two mutant animals called "Ice Wing Bats" suddenly flew over. They opened their sharp fangs and tried to attack Su Nian. Su Nian's eyes were stern, and she quickly drew out her laser sword and swung it accurately, knocking down the invading enemies. She took a deep breath and continued to search for the trace of the spiritual crystal in this difficult environment.
After searching several caves, they finally found the spiritual crystal essence in a very hidden corner!
She carefully put on special cold-proof gloves that could withstand extreme cold to prevent frostbite from direct contact with the spiritual light crystal. She carefully took the spiritual light crystal off the stone wall and quickly put it into the insulated box prepared in advance.
"It's too cold! It's too cold!"
After completing all this, Su Nian quickly retreated back to the mecha. She kept rubbing her hands, trying to regain consciousness in her frozen hands. However, she also knew that this was only the first step of the mission, and there were more challenges waiting for her.
……
At this time, not far ahead, a group of students driving a flying vehicle were arguing fiercely.
"My mission is to collect 'Fire Cloud Mushroom'. That thing is on the other side of the mountain. Send me there first!" a classmate shouted at the top of his voice.
Another classmate was not to be outdone and shouted, "Why should we go to your place first? My Ice Soul Flower is nearby. If we miss the best time to pick it, it will be over!"
Another classmate stamped his feet anxiously: "Stop arguing! My 'Spiritual Wind Grass' is about to mature. If we don't go now, it will be too late!"
The aircraft was in chaos. The students were talking to each other and no one was willing to give in. The noise was particularly loud on the cold mountain top.
