Volume 2: The Growing Flame Chapter 72 Our mentor wants to talk to you in person
"..., I have been waiting for you for a long time."
A long and leisurely voice came from the black stone tower.
An Jianyou's eyes widened, and he asked the remaining few little black groups to stand in front of him. Then he saw a slender figure walking out from the gate under the stone tower.
The figure of the person who came looked very much like a human. He was wearing a black cloak with the hood pulled up, and his long silver hair was vaguely visible. Under the cloak was a pair of silver boots, and he walked step by step on the cracked ground.
"Humans from the world that has not yet been devoured, you have nothing to fear."
"My name is Yi Yue Luxi, I am a noble and great world guide, and I have been waiting for you for a long time."
She slowly pulled down her hood, revealing a delicate, flawless face.
With her snow-white hair, she looks like a doll walking out of a painting.
An Jianyou puffed his cheeks with a look of alertness.
Having good looks doesn't mean anything. She hasn't forgotten that the maggot man killed by her mentor before was able to transform into a human form.
What's more, this is the strange world!
In this desolate world, a tall tower and a human being appeared. It was abnormal no matter how you looked at it!
The silver-haired woman "Yi Yue Luxi" did not seem surprised by the scene before her.
“It’s good to be vigilant.”
"If you weren't vigilant enough, you wouldn't have gotten here."
"After all, every world has come this way."
"Let me think about where to start."
Although this woman who calls herself the "guide" appeared very strange, they came to the strange world to find out those unusual things.
Seeing that there was no danger for the time being, both Heidao and An Jianyou felt that they could listen.
An Jianyou asked, "What does the world that has not been swallowed up mean, and what does the guide mean?"
She spoke Chinese, of course, but there seemed to be no obstacle in communicating with the silver-haired woman.
“That’s a good question.”
She said, "It means exactly what it says. Your world is the world that has just come into contact with the strange world but has not yet been swallowed up."
"The sign of formal contact is the appearance of a secret place and a gate to a strange world. According to my guess, your formal contact has been less than half a year, right?"
Seeing that An Jianyou and Xing Jinglei were very surprised, the silver-haired woman chuckled like a silver bell and continued, "As for the guide, it means literally. I will provide you with some small guidance to guide you in the world. After all, this is how we got here. Many, many years ago, I was also born in a similar world, a world swallowed by the strange world."
Her voice was not low, but clear and pleasant, echoing around.
The strange thing is that it didn't attract any evil attention.
Speaking of which, it seems that the gray fog has become lighter since I set foot here, and there is no trace of evil around.
An saw the deep thoughts.
She didn't say anything. She didn't know what to say. She just sent a message to her tutor in her mind... The tutor should know the situation here, right?
She didn't say anything, but Heidao spoke, his hand on the hilt, "There is no free lunch in the world. Tell me your purpose."
The woman stroked her long silver hair and shook her head in boredom.
"You asked too directly, which is really boring. But since you asked sincerely, I can tell you with certainty that I... of course I want the benefits."
"Strange crystals, mysterious treasures, strange objects... these can all be used as bargaining chips."
"The world that has just come into contact with the strange world is often more likely to produce various treasures. Some are in your world, and some are on the surface of the strange world that is formed based on your world."
"Even so, this guide will be merciful and tell you some information for free. After all, if you don't understand anything, how can the remaining paid information be sold at a price?"
It sounds like there's nothing wrong with it.
Although An Jianyou remained on guard and prepared to "break out of the chant", his attention couldn't help but fall on the silver-haired woman.
The guide named Yi Yue Luxi looked at the three people, with a look of confidence that seemed to see through everything.
"Since you were able to enter the strange world, you must have discovered a secret place, and there is already a third-level awakener on the spiritual side. Am I right?"
Yeah, yes, yes.
It turns out that the spiritual power needed to enter the strange world from the secret place, three awakenings are enough?
We have indeed obtained new information.
An Jian listened and maintained a blank expression.
The silver-haired woman didn't want An Jianyou to answer, she just drew a small circle and a very, big circle.
"The small circle represents your world, or other similar worlds, while the large circle represents the strange world. It will slowly devour you from the moment you make contact until, in a snap, your entire world is swallowed up."
"During this process, mysteries will be born in your world, and awakeners will be born. It is precisely because the world is in crisis that many heroes will be born during this period... This is also the reason why you can break through to the third level of awakening in less than half a year."
"The difficulties and dangers of awakening do not need to be described by this guide. You are all well aware of this."
"You are able to overcome danger time and time again. This is due to your own high talents, as well as the world's choice and favor."
"Don't deny it. The number of worlds I have seen is beyond your imagination. Worlds after worlds are struggling and sinking in the tide of the strange world. Of course, you are relatively outstanding among the many newly awakened people I have seen. Some worlds may not even have anyone stepping into the strange world until they sink."
The silver-haired woman sighed, as if she was used to the changes in the world.
In response to this, Xing Jinglei opened his mouth. He had a lot to say but couldn't. He just asked, "Then how can we prevent the world from sinking?"
"Resist being swallowed by the strange world?"
The silver-haired woman chuckled, "This is absolutely impossible. Once we come into full contact with the strange world, it is only a matter of time before we are devoured. It could take one, two, or three years at the shortest, or several years or more than ten years at the longest. There will be no second possibility."
“This is an irresistible disaster.”
"Oh, you want to ask if the world is bound to be destroyed, then what is the point? Yes, of course it is. The destruction of the world is inevitable, but some people may survive."
"When the entire world sinks and is completely swallowed up, the entire world will be merged into the Weird World and become a part of it."
An Jianyou could imagine such a doomsday.
It's a complete disaster of world destruction.
In fact, the world is sinking, she knows it very well, it is on the road to destruction, she also knows that isn’t that what they are working for! She doesn’t believe that destruction is inevitable!
However, the guide seemed to have something else to say.
She asked directly, "Once the world is swallowed up, let alone ordinary people, even the awakened ones, the stronger awakened ones, will not be able to survive in such an environment for a long time."
"You are right."
The silver-haired woman nodded. "It is impossible to survive in the strange world . Even though my tower is built with special materials, it is too small to be a shelter."
"But since you came from the secret place, you know that there are fewer evil spirits around the secret place. This is due to the special nature of the secret place."
"Some secret places are larger and have a more normal environment, with trees, streams, etc., which are more suitable for human survival. We call such places—"
"oasis!"
Secret place!
oasis!
Do those people whose worlds were swallowed up and wandered in the strange world live in the oasis?
But according to the description of the silver-haired woman, the oasis is only slightly larger than the secret place.
Even if it is several times or dozens of times larger, the secret place is so small. How big can the oasis be, and how many people can it accommodate?
Moreover, after all, we are in a strange world, and the danger is bound to be countless times higher than the normal world. If we can only live in such a place...
An Jianyou felt terrified just thinking about it.
"Be afraid. It's okay to be afraid."
The silver-haired woman said, "This requires you to improve your strength as much as possible and find an oasis before the world is swallowed up ."
"Or, join an oasis force."
"For example, our Blackstone Alliance. With your potential, there is a good chance for you to join. You can consider it."
"Okay, now we're going to start with the paid project."
"If you want to know how to reduce the danger of awakening, please choose one. If you want to know how to awaken faster, please choose two. If you want to know how to make awakened weapons, please choose three. If you want to know how to reduce the side effects of weird things, please choose four."
Uh, are there any other paid items?
Heidao didn't say anything, and An Jianyou didn't say anything.
Xing Jinglei felt that it was not his turn to speak for this kind of paid project, so he consciously shut his mouth.
Seeing that the three of them were silent, the silver-haired woman thought they were poor.
She said, "It is also possible to pay in stages. In addition to strange crystals and strange objects, various mysterious materials or supplies can also be used as deductions."
"It's not about the money..."
It’s mainly because of your paid projects, which are not very attractive.
An Jianyou complained, and spoke as a representative, "It's our mentor who wants to talk to you in person."
Oh, there are higher-level characters?
The silver-haired woman was a little surprised. After all, those who could enter the strange world at this stage were already the top awakeners in the real world.
Such people are often pioneers, at the forefront of the times, and are unlikely to be cowardly.
She was actually wrong.
But she is even more interested. The stronger and richer this world is, the more she can fleece.
"Okay, I will be waiting for you here, Master. Remember this position."
She crossed her arms and her silver hair fluttered slightly.
Then I heard the girl across from me say, "No, don't wait, our instructor is already here."
Coming?
Where is it?
Aren’t there only three people in the entire team?
As her thoughts turned, golden light particles emerged and gathered before her eyes, transforming into a man in a white robe who appeared in front of her with a faint smile.
Yi Yue Luxi opened her mouth slightly.
