"Are the Mirage Mountains really on Earth?"
In the castle library, Tang Yu was confused.
People use the inability to see the sun as a sign to distinguish the inner and outer layers of the mirage mountain range. The inner layer is the real mirage mountain range.
However, in the inner layer, although the sun and moon cannot be seen, it is not so dark that one cannot reach out and one's fingers. It is just dim, as if it is difficult for sunlight to shine into the depths of the mountains, making it appear that there is not enough light.
But even if the sun sets outside, at night, the inner layers of the Mirage Mountains are still hazy and dim.
Jingcheng organized manpower to prepare for exploration. Tang Yu knew it. Zhou Zhenglei, the leader of Lindong Zulong, also sent someone to invite him, but he refused.
"It is not necessarily a good thing that there are many people in the exploration group, but there is probably nothing we can do about it in Jingcheng. Of course, a small team can avoid danger more easily, but the demonized beasts and alien beasts in the Mirage Mountains are too powerful. If there are few people, they will encounter danger. There is not much resistance at all.”
"With Jingcheng's background, we should have made a lot of preparations. Maybe we can gain something..."
Tang Yu pondered.
For him, treasures from heaven and earth are not very attractive. Fruits that can awaken people's special abilities, or some items with strange powers, that's it... What is more attractive is something like the Mage Alliance. , has a huge library of books.
There are more important things to do right now than exploring the Mirage Mountains.
He lowered his head and looked at the book engraved with mysterious patterns in his hand, completely immersed in it.
Reading makes me super happy!
…
"Huh~"
Putting down the exquisite book of runes in his hand, Tang Yu felt that he had gained a lot.
This is "Intermediate Source Mechanics", which was just released on the market yesterday.
Books of runes appeared on the market very early, including elementary runes, elementary pharmacy, elementary combat techniques, etc... He already owned more than a dozen of these basic books more than two months ago. Because of these books of runes, he was able to lay a solid foundation.
Followers such as Elaine, Kevin, and Luo Zhe also benefited a lot from the Book of Runes.
But later, for more than two months, no book of runes appeared. Tang Ouhuang did not believe in evil for a while, so he spent 100,000 source crystals on the market until his hands cramped. In the end, he only bought a few slightly Valuable drawings, nothing left.
It's a loss to my grandma's house.
At one time, he thought he was Tang Feiqi, but a few days ago, an "Intermediate Pharmacy" was released on the market, and yesterday, another "Intermediate Source Mechanics" was released...
Tang Yu felt something was wrong.
He didn't go out of his way to refresh the market, so at zero o'clock every day, since the market was refreshed, two precious books of runes were printed, both of which were intermediate.
Saying that he successfully smuggled himself in, there was no reason to wait until now.
Think carefully about the more important things that happened recently...
It was Nancy who broke through and entered the extraordinary level.
In the past, whether it was "Fundamentals of Rune Literature" or other books of runes, knowledge points related to the extraordinary were very rare. At one time, Tang Yu still needed to analyze and reason to judge the power of the extraordinary level.
The two recently published books of runes, without exception, both talk about the extraordinary.
"Intermediate Pharmacy" talks about using extraordinary materials to make potions... That's right, at the extraordinary level, every hair, every drop of blood, including any part of the body, can be used as special materials... Some parts, even themselves With strange abilities.
"Intermediate Rune Literature" tells the story of the high-level use of source power, and the mysterious veil shrouding the extraordinary level is suddenly stripped away.
"Transcendence is divided into three stages."
"The gap between each stage is as huge as the Transcendent Stage and the Awakening Stage."
"Nancy and Yan Dingtian are both in the first stage. They are still beginners. Compared with the senior extraordinary experts, there should be a big gap."
There should be a big gap between Yan Dingtian and Nancy. Her strength is improving rapidly every day... but she may not be able to compete with the senior Chaofan.
"But in the second stage, the nature of life is different."
"The second stage of transcendence, the elemental type, can turn itself into energy; the physical type, has the ability to regenerate severed limbs, and even rebirth with blood; and the spiritual type, can leave the body and travel around the world..."
"It can be said that in the second stage, extraordinary strong people will have incredible survivability. They may be able to defeat them, but they are extremely difficult to kill."
"And in the third stage..."
Tang Yu murmured:
"The most iconic ability is the domain! Once you take action, the entire world is covered."
"When Nancy was summoned across borders, the terrifying and powerful man who appeared at the end should be the third stage of transcendence."
Thinking of this, he was still frightened. Without the power of systematic summons, he might not be able to escape even if he held the scroll to return to the city.
…
Mirage Mountains.
After several hours of trekking, the exploration group came to a swamp and stopped. Through the dim light, they could faintly see the other side of the swamp, as well as the dark, bubbling soft mud inside the swamp. .
"Is this still a swamp?"
"Yes and no." The nominal leader, Commander Jingcheng, said.
His eyebrows were raised upward, giving people a feeling of calmness, but his words did not sound aggressive.
"The area in front of us has the characteristics of a swamp, but it is much more dangerous. The swamp soil is very toxic and corrosive. Once you fall into it..."
"However, if you look carefully, there are many protruding rocks on the black swamp. As long as we step on these rocks, we can reach the other side. Just be careful."
Someone retorted:
"Who knows what dangers there are in Black Swamp, what if a monster comes out? Why not choose a detour?"
The captain with raised eyebrows did not get angry, but smiled and asked:
"Have you ever felt that the team was very purposeful along the way? Some people may have guessed that, yes, when the mirage appeared very clearly that day, we were able to draw a small part of the map. Later, after comparison with the specific environment , confirming part of the authenticity.”
"The road we are taking can lead directly to one of the intact palace complexes. Once we take a detour and lose the clear sign, it will be difficult to find that palace complex."
"As for Black Swamp, when we explored it before, we just walked on rocks and didn't encounter any danger."
No one was arguing. The exploration team found an area around the black swamp that was relatively short of the other side. Led by several Jingcheng awakeners who had already walked through it once, they passed through one after another.
"It's our turn."
Zhou Jianhong looked at the jumping figures in front of him, and with a little effort, he jumped onto the first stone.
The black swamp keeps bubbling and looks scary, but I don’t feel any discomfort when standing on the stones. The only difficulty is that some of the stones are long apart, some have a small area to stand on, and some are above smooth…
However, for him who has already reached the forty-fifth floor of the "Tower of Trials", passing through the Black Swamp should not be too easy.
Standing on the slanted and slippery rocks, it felt like I was back home, very familiar.
Even the awakened ones in other shelters are not mediocre. As long as they are careful, passing through the black swamp, as Captain Qiao Mei said, it is not difficult...
"ah-"
The screams came from not far away, and Zhou Jianhong suddenly turned his head to look.
A black shadow rushed out of the swamp soil. An awakened person reacted in time and jumped to avoid it, but ignored the environment under his feet. He stepped on the soft swamp soil and sank in.
There was a faint smell of burning.
