Volume 2: The Growing Flame Chapter 71: Exploration Module Opened
Fang You returned immediately.
After the upgrade, Sister An can not only enter the strange world at any time, but also leave it, even if it requires some "chanting time". It is much more convenient and safer than before.
only,
That huge shadow lingered in my mind, unable to be shaken off.
What level of evil was that? Even though Fang You was now at full power and had the "power to shatter buildings", he still couldn't muster the courage to fight against such a terrifying existence that was like a mountain.
At that time, it was still several kilometers away, maybe more than ten kilometers or even farther.
Still shocked.
And this was the scene they encountered just thirteen minutes after they entered the strange world and walked a few hundred meters.
The giant shadow was just passing by and did not target them... Perhaps they were just ants in the eyes of the terrifying existence and were not worth mentioning.
but,
"How many terrifying beings like this are there in the strange world? Are they extremely rare, or... can we only encounter them occasionally?"
He thinks the latter is more likely.
What worries him even more is, what should he do if such a monster comes into the real world?
“It’s not an unfounded worry.”
"From the few evil spirits at the beginning, to now, four-star disaster-level evil spirits can pass through the sieve. In the future, it is not impossible for such a giant shadow to appear."
"The difference is whether I, Xinhuo, will be able to fight back when the time comes."
As long as I improve fast enough, danger won't be able to catch up with me.
However, the third awakening requires the accumulation of 400 mysteries, and the fourth awakening, if based on the previous increase rate, requires at least 8,000, which is difficult to accumulate in a short period of time.
Even if it is possible, in addition to the mysterious value, the four awakenings must have very harsh conditions.
Compared to him, An Jianyou was even more frightened. He even heard the thumping sound of her heart.
"Whether it's for the resources and weapons in the Strange World, or to find out more and obtain information, we have to go to the Strange World."
"You can choose not to go now, but if you wait until the future and a disaster strikes, then you will regret it. It is better to start preparing now and prevent it from happening."
"But I'm not fit to go myself."
Don't get me wrong, it's not that He Fang, the savior, the mentor, You is afraid of death, but after much consideration and calculation, he is not suitable for taking risks on the front line.
Because he can come at any time.
Once in danger, he can possess Xiao Huan and come to the rescue.
He can delay the enemy and give An Jianyou and the others a chance to escape, and he can also return quickly by removing the possessed state.
As for Xiao Huan? Her problem is even smaller.
As long as the core of the illusory spirit exists, it will not die and can be reborn continuously.
This is the best choice.
He called Heidao, An Jianyou, and Xing Jinglei who had just returned and was ready to rest.
"I have an important mission for you."
Looking at the instructor's serious expression.
Heidao always has no expression and no one can see his expression.
An Jianyou looked like he wanted to cry.
"tutor……"
She wanted to ask weakly, "Can I not go?" But when the words came to her lips, she said, "Teacher, rest assured, I will complete the task!"
This seems to be a very important task.
None of them appeared on the task list, but were entrusted by the mysterious mentor himself... Had I finally entered the core circle and come into contact with the secrets of the organization?
very good!
Xing Jinglei's blood was boiling.
All three of them seemed very motivated.
Fang You said, "There is no fixed goal for this mission. The purpose is to explore the situation in the strange world and find things and resources that are different from the real world. But everything is based on safety and saving lives first."
"I will provide you with remote support. You will decide the specific action plan yourself."
The information has been sent to them in the form of "mission instructions".
After discussing for a while, An Jianyou made the only suggestion, "Just don't enter from Baijiang City."
…
Training Base No. 1,
The bustling sounds in my ears faded away, replaced by eerie roars and a gray fog that obscured my vision.
"Is this the strange world?"
"hiss!"
Xing Jinglei swung his fist and blew up a few evil spirits, but when he thought that the place was full of evil spirits, he felt a little numb on his scalp.
Looking at the torch in An Jianyou's hand, he asked, "Is this thing reliable? It won't go out suddenly, right?"
"Yes."
“If the fuel runs out, it will go out, so make sure you have some.”
This heavy breathing... Xing Jinglei didn't know that An Jianyou was more nervous than him, but he almost had a heart attack. After all, the ghost world was described as extremely terrifying. If they didn't have this torch, they might be swallowed up by the ghost in an instant.
Who doesn’t fear death!
He also held a bright torch in his hand, just in case, he could light it if it suddenly went out.
According to the tactical arrangement, Guixie controlled by Miss An guarded the surroundings and acted as the main force.
Once a three-star evil spirit appears, it will be restrained by Miss An's pet and then quickly killed by the fierce black knife.
he……
"Your fighting style consumes life energy quickly. Wait until the situation becomes difficult before you strike. Under normal circumstances, just pay attention to your surroundings and the burning of the torch."
The fierce man Heidao said so.
So, he was just a jerk the whole time?
…
Xinhuo Secret Realm, Apostles’ Dormitory.
The mobile phone loaded with the life-saving game was hanging in front of her, and it had already cut into An Jianyou's perspective. From her perspective, she could see the training base in the ghost world, the former Shuilan Resort.
The buildings seemed to have weathered, but were quite intact, with not much damage caused by evil spirits.
The urban area I saw in Baijiang last time was still very complete.
He seemed to be thinking about something.
Looking at the screen, three people were walking carefully in the strange world. The only sounds around them were the roars of evil spirits and the slight sounds of burning bright torches.
An Jianyou and the others were extremely nervous and cautious, and so was Fang You.
This team is the core strength of Xinhuo and cannot be lost. Moreover, they have been together for so long and have become friends. Even if Xing Jinglei dies, he will be sad for a while.
He stared, unblinking.
Suddenly , a line of prompts popped up.
〔bite!〕
[Tip: Xinhuo Yuguijie has walked a total of 1,000 meters, and the new module "Guijie Exploration" has been unlocked. Please check for details.]
Fang You: “!!!”
The existing modules of the salvation game are "Fate Extraction", "Apostle List", "Item List", "Task Dispatch", and "Organization Base". As for the remaining two that have not yet been opened, I took a closer look and guessed that they are "XX Exploration" and "Copy of XX".
But he never found the clue to unlock it, and over time, he almost forgot there was such a module.
Is it turned on now?
What is the use of the strange world exploration module?
"Xiao Huan, keep watching An Jianyou and the others, and notify me immediately if anything happens."
"Okay~!"
Her figure appeared, and a light curtain was projected on the wall, showing An Jianyou's perspective.
Fang You controlled the phone and switched to the "Strange World Exploration" module.
As soon as you enter, gray fog covers the entire interface, then slowly dissipates, and an interface that looks like a small map appears.
Different from the real mission map, this map is extremely simple, with a pixelated style, and a circular icon representing the team of An Jianyou and the other two. There is a torch in the upper right corner, which displays "Time Remaining: 26:39".
The surrounding map was black, with only a small circle illuminated by torches appearing white, while the place where the team passed appeared light gray.
It is true that you explore the map, but what is its use?
This world-saving game requires him to explore all the modules on his own, and it cannot be straightforward.
Fang You thought about it and looked for somewhere in the interface where he could operate, but there was none.
There was only a slowly moving circular icon and darkness filling the entire map area.
But suddenly,
A tree-shaped icon appeared in the darkness, located at the eleven o'clock direction of An Jianyou and the others, a considerable distance away.
He thought about it and passed on an instruction.
…
"Eleven o'clock, instructor's instructions."
Heidao spoke, walking at the front of the team, scanning the surroundings with sharp eyes.
So far, the highest level they have encountered is only three-star evil spirits, but they dare not be careless. The battle is always over within five seconds, and they try to make as little noise as possible to avoid attracting the attention of more evil spirits.
Covered by the bright torches, they seemed half-invisible to Guixie, but far from being able to act recklessly.
In this short period of time, they had already caught a glimpse of the huge figure from afar several times.
Avoid it if you can.
Once they encounter a catastrophic evil, with their configuration, they will probably have no choice but to take drastic measures.
Heidao has a very strong sense of direction. If he says it is eleven o'clock, he will not deviate at all and the team moves forward all the way.
But around here, outside the resort there are mountains and forests. The trees are withered, the ground is cracked and gray-brown, and there is nothing else.
Xing Jinglei muttered, and suddenly his eyes widened.
A tree appeared in the field of vision, but this was a tree that was completely different from the other trees!
The trunk twisted and spiraled upward, about several dozen meters high, with branches and leaves that were blood-red and seemed to be filled with fruits.
The distance was too far and there was gray fog, so they couldn't see clearly.
but,
"I found something different from reality!"
"The teacher's instructions really have a great purpose! Now what should we do? Should we pick those fruits? I think they must be treasures."
Xing Jinglei was eager to try.
But Heidao did not act impulsively. He thought for a moment and looked at An Jianyou, "Find a Guixie and give it a try."
"learn."
An Jianyou sent out the Bone Knight.
Under her control, the knight rode on the bone horse, clattering forward, knocking away some evil spirits along the way, and came under the blood-red tree.
suddenly,
boom--
A giant bloody python seemed to jump out from the twisted tree trunk. It was much larger than the Skeleton Knight. It wrapped around him in an instant, contracted him, and bit him with its bloody mouth.
An Jianyou covered his head and said, "Dead, dead."
A three-star evil spirit was killed in two or three hits.
There was fear in her eyes.
Black Blade also made a prompt decision, "Retreat."
They walked quickly for a few hundred meters and only breathed a sigh of relief when no danger caught up with them.
"What is that?"
An Jianyou was still in shock, but Instructor Heidao shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.
Xing Jinglei, this rough guy? No need to ask.
She patted the tablet, her heart still pounding, but it calmed down.
At this time, the instructor gave them another instruction, asking them to remember this location and come back later, and now they should head west.
So they kept heading west.
This time he was more careful and lit another torch before it was about to go out, making a seamless connection.
An Jianyou was a little afraid.
But besides fear, there is also a little bit of anticipation, as if exploring a fantasy world, and no one knows what opportunity will arise next.
Can we find a treasure land? Well, one that is not guarded by monsters.
She thought to herself.
The gray fog was like a veil, which was lifted layer by layer as we moved forward.
After walking for about half an hour, a towering object appeared vaguely in the gray fog.
Compared with the surrounding trees, it stands out.
Could it be another weird tree?
But as she went further, she found that it was not the case. The gray fog around her was much thinner, and she could still see clearly in the distance even at a distance of several hundred meters.
The black stone tower came into view.
Obviously not naturally formed!
A voice came from the black stone tower.
It sounded like a human female's voice, with strange syllables, as if it was some language she didn't recognize, but suddenly she understood it.
"I, the human from the world that has not yet been devoured, have been waiting for you for a long time."
