Volume 2: The Growing Flame Chapter 68: Entrance and the Bright Light Tree
The secret place is not big, about the size of six or seven football fields.
The sky was gray, somewhat similar to the environment in the strange world, the fog was not so thick, but the other scenery was much more bizarre.
The flowers, plants and trees don't look normal at all.
Fang You maintained his skill of 'detection' and scanned the area one by one, "There are treasures everywhere."
Mysterious materials that are hard to find in other places and can only be found in deep mountains and forests, and some places where evil spirits gather, are everywhere here.
The Investigation Bureau is holding a treasure trove.
It looks like I can get more benefits from the Investigation Bureau.
[Strange Crystal Vein - Micro]
[Detection: Precious mineral veins are often found at intersections or other special areas.]
Fang You pondered.
Perhaps, there are mineral veins in the ghost world. After all, the bodies of the evil spirits killed in the ghost world will not turn into smoke and dissipate, but will be preserved.
It was reasonable to guess that there were strange crystals and mysterious materials, but his last exploration of the evil was only able to get no further than a few dozen meters.
Now? He has reached the third awakening, but there is no leap-forward improvement compared to the second awakening period. If he tries again, the result will not change.
As he was thinking, the mighty and tall Director Tang also introduced some of the situation here.
"In this place, there are at least several hundred evil spirits spawned every day, and there are also some large and extra-large evil spirits."
“That’s normal.”
Fang You said, "If we compare our Blue Planet to a sieve, the city is the place with a small opening, the forest is the place with a slightly larger opening, and the secret place is already a huge leak that can accommodate all kinds of big evil spirits to pass through."
"Passing through the strange world."
Director Tang and Huang Hongtian looked at each other.
Sure enough, Xinhuo knows a lot about that world!
At first, the Investigation Bureau was not sure about the origin of the evil spirits. The most mainstream guess was that due to the changes in the world, negative emotions gave rise to these monsters.
But when the Hell's Gate incident occurred, this speculation was shaken.
Not long ago, a mirage appeared over the White Wood Forest. The even more terrifying scene reflected in the mirror made Director Tang and his team more certain of another hypothesis.
Evil did not come into being from nothing, but "leaked" over from another world!
But, what kind of world is that?
"The strange world, it is a world based on the real world, but full of strange and evil things."
"Moreover, the evil in the evil world is much more dangerous than the evil that has grown on our blue planet."
Fang You spoke.
He slowly raised his head. There was a thin gray mist floating above his head. In his field of vision, he could also see several faint, almost transparent gray rivers flowing and converging above his head.
The point where reality and the strange world meet is like a membrane, and he seems to be able to cross this membrane with his thoughts.
No, it doesn't seem to.
He had just seen An Jianyou's perspective and had entered the strange world before. He was familiar with the process of entering. At this moment, he only needed to spread his mental power and touch that switch, and he could enter the strange world just like letting An Jianyou take the back door!
When the critical value is reached, a prompt "Do you want to enter the strange world" will pop up in the salvation game.
It’s confirmed!
really,
The secret place is the real entrance and exit to the strange world!
The conditions for entry do not require finding a super talent like An Jianyou, who is one in billions, but it is not easy either, and requires strong enough mental strength.
An Jianyou, Yin Ling... They all had more than ten points of spiritual power, but they were unaware of it, which was obviously far from the minimum requirement.
Director Tang and Director Huang, although they are also world-class strongmen, are reckless men with even lower mental strength. It would be strange if they could touch the switch.
If he came in his real body, he probably wouldn't be able to sense the core intersection node, but who knows he is now possessed by Xiao Huan.
Possesses a full sixty points of spiritual power!
The switch was right in front of him, within his reach, so he didn't have to go through Sister An's back door anymore... He was now in the state of an illusory spirit, so it was safer for him to be alone and come and go as he pleased.
He looked at Director Tang and Director Huang, "As long as you have strong enough spiritual power, you can enter the strange world here."
"Wait here for a while, I'll be back soon."
As he spoke, Fang You spread out his spiritual power. An invisible force brewed from his body, creating a wind and blowing away the fog.
Under the pressure, An Jianyou and Yin Ling's faces turned red and they had to retreat more than ten meters away.
Worthy of being a mentor!
An Jianyou thought so.
Yinling's eyes were burning, and she really wanted to study the man's body.
Director Tang and Director Huang were even more surprised.
Seeing is believing; seeing is worse than feeling it up close.
Only by experiencing it personally can one understand how much pressure this man brings to them!
It's simply unfathomable!
At this time,
In Fang You's eyes, the gray fog gradually thickened, an evil roar came to his ears, and the sky and the earth became darker.
But the difference is not big. The secret place is a place with one foot kicked into the strange world.
In just a moment, his figure disappeared from An Jianyou and the others' sight and he stepped onto the other side.
Strange world.
"It is indeed a strange world, but the environment is somewhat different."
"If you enter through the back door normally, the environment of the strange world is completely based on reality. The plants, rocks, and buildings are almost the same, but they are a little more withered."
“But after entering the secret place, the scene in front of me is quite different from the outside.”
There were still rolling hills, but the low buildings built by the Secret Investigation Bureau outside were completely gone.
The strange trees growing around, and the minerals are also different... Fang You even deliberately asked Xiao Huan to compare the details, and the difference was as high as 86.4%.
It can be said that there is no connection.
"Xiao Huan, continue to scan the surrounding environment, record everything, and create a separate file."
"Okay, Master~!"
"We scanned 6 unknown crops, but we couldn't scan the minerals buried deep underground."
"The concentration of gray fog is not high, only level 2."
"There aren't many evil spirits around. So far, we've only found three two-star ones and twenty-six one-star ones."
He discovered it too.
Although the gray fog was thicker than that of the secret place outside, it was far less than the last time he explored with An Jianyou, and the same was true for Guixie.
If it were the same as last time, he would have been besieged by numerous evil creatures as soon as he entered, and the more he fought, the more they would appear, with no end in sight.
At this time,
“Sizzle——”
“Sizzle——”
"Sizzle——"×27
When he shot out tiny beams of lightning from his hole, controlling them to the level that could just kill the evil instantly, the world became quiet.
Although one could still hear the eerie roars coming from afar, and could see a huge shadow passing through the thick grey fog in the distance, at least it was no longer nearby.
Actually not.
and,
〔bite!〕
[Hint: Your mystery value +0.1!]
The intake of mysterious value has also decreased, much less, and it only pops up once in a long time.
But this environment is indeed much safer.
" Does the density of the gray fog also affect the activity of the evil spirits and their self-healing speed?"
"If other places in the strange world can maintain this level, it is feasible to explore them."
"Is it due to the special characteristics of the secret place, or is it due to other special influences?"
Fang You stepped on the Phantom Step and slowly climbed up.
Maintain a height of more than ten to twenty meters, so that you have a wide field of vision and will not be too conspicuous, and you can land in time if you encounter danger.
He stopped and looked around, with a hint of detection in his pupils.
Detect! Detect! Detect!
He started to detect the crops marked as "unknown" one by one, and he actually found a surprise.
〔Bright light tree〕
[Detection: A special kind of tree that only grows at intersections and strange interfaces. It is characterized by emitting a faint glow that can dispel the gray fog and has a certain effect in repelling strange evil spirits.]
He broke off a branch.
[Detection: The branches of the Bright Light Tree have a weaker effect in dispelling the gray fog. It seems that there is a more efficient way to use them.]
Obtaining the key props is yes!
There are a lot of Mingguang trees around, so it won’t have any impact if you dig some of them away. Well, just don’t dig too many.
"Fortunately, I had the foresight to give the Hand of Heavenly Luo to An Jianyou yesterday and told her to carry it with her."
At this time, the glove was worn on his descended body.
Of course, before handing it over to An Jianyou, he also cleaned the space in the glove. Now it was empty and could hold a lot of things.
He broke off some branches and put them in, thought for a while, and then gently dug up a few Mingguang trees, preparing to try transplanting them - even though the detection skill showed that only the environment of the intersection of the strange interface was suitable, there was no harm in giving it a try, and he never knew.
He also found some seeds of the Mingguang tree in the surrounding area and picked up some other local specialties. During this time, some evil spirits naturally appeared, and he killed them one by one.
After taking a look around, he confirmed that the only area with lighter gray fog was the one opposite the secret place.
Looking outside, there was still thick gray fog and the ground was filled with evil.
He tried to walk out. This time he was stronger and he didn't have to take care of An Jianyou, so he was more free. However, he still felt the pressure after just running a thousand meters.
In order to avoid attracting disaster-level evil spirits, he killed some powerful evil spirits and quickly evacuated.
After returning to the entrance of the secret place, he eliminated the evil spirits that were chasing him one by one, inspected the place to make sure there were no problems, and then Fang You lightly touched the intersection node.
In the blink of an eye, your feet stepped on the ground.
The evil roar in his ear completely disappeared, and An Jianyou's face appeared in front of him, almost bumping into him.
Both of them were startled.
"The mentor is back!"
At this time, a lot of life energy was consumed, and Fang You's head gradually felt swollen as he had possessed Xiao Huan for almost an hour.
He just briefly described the situation on the other side.
"Not very dangerous."
"There are only a few three-star evil spirits."
After thinking about it, he took out some materials that were only available on the other side from Tianluozhi's hand and gave them to the Investigation Bureau.
He handed the gloves to An Jianyou and gave him a few more instructions.
"I'll leave the matter here to you guys to handle."
After that,
The figure shrouded in a faint golden light gradually faded in front of everyone until it disappeared.
