After leaving the central square of the city, Kong Ming and his party headed straight for the east gate of Jinwu City. As soon as you leave the east city gate, you will enter the most dangerous central area on Skyfall Star.
The tight security at the East City Gate is completely different from the West City Gate that Kong Ming and his friends passed when they entered the city. The city wall looks taller and thicker. Both in height and thickness, it has exceeded fifty feet. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a man-made mountain.
On the city wall, there are countless various weapons for city defense installed in a staggered manner. Among them, giant crossbows with a length of more than ten feet can only be regarded as common things. If a beast tide really broke out, it would obviously be impossible to defend Jinwu City without the help of these instruments and just relying on practitioners to fight the beasts in hand-to-hand combat.
There is no war outside the East City, so the East City Gate has not been sealed. Apart from arranging a team of extremely tough cultivators to guard it, it does not prevent cultivators from entering and exiting the East City Gate.
After all, the value of Sky Trap Star's existence is to be used as a place of trial, not to open up territory here. The three mountains and five cities, including Jinwu City, all encourage practitioners to venture into the central area to earn contribution points. How could it be possible to block the access to the central area
In fact, when there is no beast tide, the area near the East City Gate is extremely lively. There are many practitioners coming in and out. Their purpose is basically to hunt the beasts and earn contribution points, and the natural formation here The market is many times larger than the Xicheng Gate, and transactions are more frequent.
Many cultivators have formed adventure teams among themselves, and it is relatively safer to join forces in one place before venturing to the central area. The further you enter the central area, the more powerful the monsters you encounter will become. Only practitioners who are truly confident in their own strength will enter the depths of the central area. Most practitioners only operate in the peripheral areas, and the animals they hunt are not very powerful, so the contribution points they earn will naturally not be too many.
Kong Ming and his party showed the jade tokens in their hands to the group of practitioners guarding the East City Gate, and then they were able to walk out of the East City Gate in a grand manner.
One of the cultivators who was guarding the east city gate was quite a good person. He saw that the jade tokens received by Kong Ming and others were brand new and belonged to Bai Ding, who had just arrived in Jinwu City, so he kindly reminded: "Newcomers, you guys It is wiser to know how to form a team to take risks together. However, I still want to remind you that the three hundred miles close to the city wall is a relatively safe area. It is recommended that you take risks in this area and wait until you accumulate After gaining enough experience, it is more appropriate to gradually go deeper. Also, after you kill the enemy, the jade token will automatically record your contribution points, so there is no need to be distracted by it. Finally, I wish you the best. Your trip went well, and you will finally be able to return together safely."
Regarding this cultivator's kindness, Kong Ming naturally returned the favor with a smile and said: "Thank you for your kind words!" Then, Kong Ming led Shuang'er, Boss Gu, Master Lu and his disciples across the east city gate. Entered the central area of Skyfall Star.
This area close to the east wall of Jinwu City is completely barren for at least ten miles. Except for the steep peaks on both sides, the canyon is completely flat. You can even see patches of red color hidden among the earth and rocks.
This area is the main battle zone when every beast tide breaks out. Perhaps in the ancient times I don’t know how many years ago, this area was full of rugged mountain roads, but after many battles, the surrounding area has long been razed. To level the ground. As for the crimson color among the earth and rocks, it was naturally dyed red by the blood spilled after countless bloody battles.
After passing through such a plain area, we walked out of the canyon and came to a wider place.
Outside the canyon, there is a large tidal flat. A relatively large waterfall pours down from the peak on the left, forming a small stream that runs between the tidal flats. The animals live in this tidal flat area.
This vicious salamander has an adult body length of about one meter and a gray body. When it is coiled motionless on the ground, it does not look much different from a stone at first glance. Therefore, in this tidal flat area, the salamander is It's quite hard to guard against when the salamander beast launches a sneak attack.
It's just that this salamander is not very powerful, and its lethality is not strong. The most powerful way to injure people is to spit out a kind of acid poison from its mouth, and its toxicity is far less than that of seeing blood in the throat. . Therefore, to hunt down this low-level salamander beast, three of them are needed to collect one contribution point.
Because salamanders have protective colors as a way to save their lives, it is undoubtedly a troublesome thing to find the salamanders in a tidal flat. Therefore, this salamander is rated as the worst cost-effective threat. Basically, it is a troublesome thing. There are no cultivators in the world willing to hunt them.
In this way, even if this salamander beast lives in the area closest to Jinwu City, it has never been completely wiped out, and it even lives very comfortably.
But when Kong Ming and others passed through the tidal flat area, it was a nightmare for these vicious salamanders. First of all, Kong Ming's eyes were sharp, and the protective colors of these vicious salamanders couldn't be hidden from him at all. Secondly, it was the first time for Kong Ming and others to hunt predators outside. They wanted to keep everything fresh, and they did not let go of the salamander predator, which was said to be the worst value for money.
Especially Shuang'er, she has always been the target of bullying by others, and has even been banned for a long time. When did she have the opportunity to bully others? Therefore, she was merciless in picking up the salamander's evil beasts. However, after hunting down a few vicious salamanders, Shuang'er's personality suddenly changed, perhaps due to the stimulation of the blood, and he switched to a quiet and quiet personality taking the lead. As a result, Shuang'er is no longer as lively as before, but follows Kong Ming obediently, and only occasionally takes a touch of the last hit.
After leaving the tidal flat area, all the accounts of Kong Ming and others were opened, and there were no longer zero contribution points. However, it is impossible to make a fortune by hunting salamanders. Even Kong Ming only gained two contribution points, and it took a lot of time. This reputation as the worst value for money is really well-deserved.
After having contribution points, more information can be reflected on the jade plaque. For example, for Kong Ming, the information displayed on his jade plaque at this time is two contribution points, and his ranking is out of the tens of millions. .
Points that cannot be ranked on the hero list will not display the specific ranking number, but will be collectively referred to by standards such as tens of millions, millions, and hundreds of thousands.
Although there is no specific ranking, being able to know approximately what level you are at can be regarded as being able to find an accurate position for yourself.
There are at least tens of millions of cultivators on Star Trap. Even if they are not on the hero list, it is already quite difficult for those who have contributed points to be among the top 100,000. They can basically be considered strong. If he can enter the top 10,000, he will be a potential player on the hero list.
After all, the contribution points are a cumulative number. Some cultivators are not bad in strength, but they have not been to Sky Trap Star for a long time, which leads to insufficient contribution points. But as time goes by, the contribution points of this type of strong people will only grow faster and faster, and it will only be a matter of time before they finally enter the hero list.
After having a certain understanding of the contribution point system, Kong Ming and others naturally did not waste time on the salamander, but continued to move deeper into the central area.
As the cultivator who guarded the city gate said before, the area within three hundred miles of Jinwu City can be considered a safe area. There are not too many vicious creatures appearing here, and they are not very vicious. Indeed It is suitable for practitioners who are new to the central area to try their skills. However, it is obviously unrealistic to get more contribution points here.
Following the normal steps, after getting familiar with everything in the safe area, you can naturally go further into the central area. However, for Kong Ming and others, there was no need to stay in the safe area, but went straight to the three hundred miles away.
Along the way, you will occasionally encounter some blind and vicious creatures that come forward to look for trouble. Basically, it is Kong Ming who takes action, and naturally they come back one after another. Originally, it was suitable for Shuang'er to practice against these low-level ferocious creatures, but at this time, Shuang'er's dominant personality was the quiet one, and fighting and killing things were really not suitable for her.
Of course, Kong Ming did not kill all the enemies in the future on the spot. Sometimes, in order to allocate some contribution points to Boss Gu, Master Lu and his disciples, Kong Ming would deliberately hold back, allowing Boss Gu and the others a chance to make a last-ditch attack.
So along the way, everyone's contribution points were slowly rising, but even the leader Kong Ming's contribution points were just over double digits at most.
Being able to walk on only two legs along the way is not a big deal to Kong Ming and Shuang'er, but Boss Gu and Master Lu will feel tired. If one could subdue some ferocious animals to serve as mounts like the Green Teeth Wolf, not only would one be more comfortable, but one could also travel faster.
It's a pity that the safe area is full of low-level monsters. Let alone catching monsters that can be used as mounts, even medium-sized monsters are extremely rare. Everyone can only keep walking.
After spending a full day and night, Kong Ming and his party finally walked more than 300 miles and walked out of the so-called safe area. At this time, what appeared in front of Kong Ming and others was a forest that looked very dense.
