Siheyuan: A romantic village doctor, making trouble

Suddenly, a clear and loud voice sounded in Zhang Jianjun's mind: "Host, the next task has been issued, please be sure to obtain five locust leaves!" This sudden system prompt made Zhang Jianjun slightly stunned, but he quickly reacted.

Zhang Jianjun frowned and said to himself, "Well... if I want to get five locust tree leaves, I have to defeat five locust tree elves!" As he spoke, he began to think about how to deal with this seemingly difficult task. After all, locust tree elves are not easy to deal with. They usually have some unique abilities and skills. If you are not careful, you may get into trouble. However, facing such a challenge, Zhang Jianjun did not retreat at all. Instead, his eyes flashed with excitement, as if he was looking forward to the upcoming adventure.

Zhang Jianjun clenched his fists and ran towards the locust tree forest in his memory. As soon as he stepped into the edge of the forest, a mysterious atmosphere hit him. He became alert and moved forward slowly. Soon after, the first locust tree elf appeared. It was the size of a child, with transparent wings on its back and a faint green halo surrounding it.

"Human, what are you doing here?" The locust tree elf made an ethereal voice.

"I want to take a locust leaf." Zhang Jianjun stated his purpose directly.

The locust tree elf snorted coldly, and countless vines swept towards Zhang Jianjun in an instant. Zhang Jianjun dodged flexibly and pulled out a dagger emitting blue light from his waist. He seized the opportunity and rushed towards the locust tree elf. The locust tree elf did not expect him to be so brave and was a little flustered for a while. Zhang Jianjun took the opportunity to get close and cut off a locust tree leaf with the dagger.

"Hmph, you are awesome, but there are four of my friends behind you who will not let you go." The locust tree elf said unwillingly. Zhang Jianjun collected the locust leaves and walked towards the depths of the forest with a determined look, ready for the next round of battle.

Zhang Jianjun continued to go deeper into the forest, keeping a careful watch on the way. Not long after he went, the second locust tree elf appeared. This elf was emitting a faint green light and had cold eyes. Without saying a word, it waved its hands, and the locust tree branches around it seemed to have life, lashing at Zhang Jianjun crazily.

Zhang Jianjun dodged left and right, but there were too many branches and he was still hit a few times. But he gritted his teeth, endured the pain, threw the dagger into the air, and muttered something. The dagger turned into several lights and shadows in the air, cutting off many branches. Taking advantage of the locust tree spirit's astonishment, Zhang Jianjun rushed forward and stretched out his hand to pick the locust tree leaves. The locust tree spirit hurriedly summoned a wind wall to block it. Zhang Jianjun was not in a hurry. He took out a talisman paper from his arms and stuck it on the wind wall. The wind wall dissipated instantly. He successfully picked the second locust tree leaf.

At this time, he knew that the battle ahead would only be more difficult, but his fighting spirit was getting higher and higher. He simply treated his wound, held the dagger tightly in his hand, and strode deeper into the forest to find the remaining three locust tree elves, thinking that he must collect five locust leaves as soon as possible to complete the task.

As he walked, Zhang Jianjun heard a melodious flute sound. The third locust tree elf appeared, holding a jade flute, and the sound waves it played turned into physical attacks on Zhang Jianjun. Zhang Jianjun felt a stinging pain in his eardrums and stumbled. He quickly took out a pair of earplugs from his backpack to plug his ears, and then threw the dagger at the locust tree elf. The locust tree elf dodged sideways, and the flute turned, blowing out even louder sound waves. Zhang Jianjun was blown away and fell heavily to the ground. He struggled to get up, took out a broken sound bead from the storage ring and threw it out, and the sound waves canceled each other out. Taking this opportunity, he pounced on it, and after a struggle, he finally picked the third locust leaf.

Continuing forward, the fourth locust tree spirit emerged from the trunk. It could manipulate the movement of trees to attack in various shapes. Zhang Jianjun used the terrain to maneuver and found that the bottom of a big tree was a weak point. He pretended to retreat to lure the spirit closer, then detonated the thunder talisman he had buried in advance, blowing up the big tree and trapping the spirit, and successfully obtained the fourth locust leaf.

There was only one locust tree elf left. Zhang Jianjun took a deep breath and walked towards the deepest part of the forest with an indomitable momentum.

When Zhang Jianjun reached the deepest part of the forest, the last locust tree elf appeared. This elf was surrounded by golden light and looked more powerful than the previous ones. It stood under the huge locust tree and looked at Zhang Jianjun quietly.

"You are so persistent for a few leaves. Is it worth it?" asked the locust tree elf.

"This is my mission and must be completed." Zhang Jianjun answered firmly.

The locust tree elf raised its hands, and the whole forest seemed to shake. Thick tree roots emerged from the ground and entangled Zhang Jianjun like a giant python. Zhang Jianjun ran and jumped quickly to avoid the attack. He found it difficult to approach the locust tree elf.

Suddenly, he thought that the locust tree leaves he had collected before might be useful. So he took out four locust tree leaves and injected spiritual power into them. The locust tree leaves exuded a gentle power. The tree roots slowly retreated when they touched this power. Zhang Jianjun seized the opportunity and rushed towards the locust tree spirit. The locust tree spirit was horrified. Before it could make more defenses, Zhang Jianjun came to it and picked the fifth locust tree leaf.

"Congratulations, host, mission accomplished." The system voice sounded in his mind. Zhang Jianjun breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at the five locust leaves in his hand, turned around and walked out of the locust tree forest.

Just after he walked out of the locust tree forest, the system voice sounded again: "Host, a new mission has begun. Go to the misty swamp to find three spiritual plants - purple star grass." Zhang Jianjun did not hesitate at all and immediately headed towards the misty swamp. When he reached the edge of the swamp, he saw fog everywhere, with a faint sense of danger. He stepped in carefully, carefully testing whether the ground was solid with every step.

Suddenly, a huge swamp beast jumped out of the mud and rushed towards him with its bloody mouth wide open. Zhang Jianjun quickly turned sideways and stabbed the swamp beast's eyes with the dagger in his hand. The swamp beast felt pain and attacked more frantically. Zhang Jianjun fought and retreated, and found that the swamp beast was afraid of fire. He took out a fire talisman from his arms and lit it, temporarily forcing the swamp beast back.

Continuing to go deeper into the swamp, he saw the faint light of purple star grass. Just as he was about to pick it, strange ripples appeared around him and a group of poisonous mosquitoes swarmed in. Zhang Jianjun quickly released insect repellent powder, but there were too many poisonous mosquitoes. In an emergency, he remembered that there was a poison-proof cloak in the mission reward, and after putting it on, mosquitoes could not get close. He hurriedly picked three purple star grasses, and the system prompted that the mission was completed. Zhang Jianjun smiled tiredly and set off on a new journey.
