Yan Xiaoxin chatted with the teachers for a while before they left.
After the chat, Yan Xiaoxin returned to the car.
"The teachers who just chatted with us are from the other four universities in Jianghai, except for Jiangnan University," Yan Xiaoxin said. "Old Zhang from Jin Ling University looks humble, but from what he said, it seems like he's determined to qualify for this year's league."
"Jin Ling University has a hero called Jiang Yi." Guan Zhongliu nodded slightly. "He's been hiding it all this time, waiting for us to be caught off guard."
After all, there were only two places to qualify, and Jiangnan University's position was unshakable. Jin Ling University was also in Jianghai, so it was reasonable for them to set their sights on Jinghai University.
"I hope to see him this time," Bai Xiaowen said with a smile. As long as he saw Jiang Yi in person, all his secrets would be exposed.
"Let's not talk about him. This time, the treasure land of Broken Back Mountain will open. In a few hours, the energy intensity of the spatial rift will reach level three. At that time, you freshmen and a few level three students from other universities will go in. You all have the topographic map of the treasure land, right? "Yan Xiaoxin asked again.
"Yes, I've seen it." Bai Xiaowen's "seen" meant that he had memorized it.
"Li Shuyi, you should also prepare a map," Yan Xiaoxin said.
"I brought one. But I'm with Xiaowen. I don't think it's necessary, "Li Shuyi said.
Yan Xiaoxin shook her head. "It's useless. You won't appear in the same area. Do you think the spatial rift is the school gate? There will be spatial dislocations when traveling through space. It's usually the case when returning from the spirit realm. The treasure land is a fragment of the spirit realm, so it's not very stable. Spatial dislocations are even more serious. "
Guan Zhongliu added, "Even if you enter one after the other, one of you may be assigned to the southernmost part of the space, and the other to the northernmost part. So be prepared to fight alone. Fortunately, you can retreat at any time if you encounter danger. "
"On the other hand, you are not allowed to use electronic communication devices in the treasure trove. Apart from some special spiritual tools, you can only communicate by shouting," Yan Xiaoxin said.
Bai Xiaowen said, "Then let's set a rendezvous point. After entering the Space, we'll head there. The Rift Valley of the Broken Ridge Mountain is a treasured land with a depth of about 150 kilometers. It will take at most one or two days to complete the gathering. "
Yan Xiaoxin said, "If you're confident in your strength, it's best to set the gathering point at the center of the treasure land. In the Great Rift Valley's Broken Dragon Cliff, there's a precious Dragon Blood Tea Tree. It's a good thing that even high-level hunters covet. "
After a short pause, Yan Xiaoxin explained, "There are many dangerous areas in the Great Rift Valley. Generally speaking, the closer you are to the central area, the higher level and stronger the monsters. For example, the Dragon Blood Tea Tree on Broken Dragon Cliff was occupied by a group of Level 6 Golden-Crowned White Eagles all year round. Even for a high-level hunter, encountering such a flying monster is quite troublesome. "
"What do you think, Shuyi?" Bai Xiaowen asked.
"Let's set the rendezvous point at Broken Dragon Cliff." Li Shuyi knew that Bai Xiaowen wouldn't have a problem. She also didn't want to be a burden. Besides, with her rare elite class strength, if she was careful, she might be able to reach Broken Dragon Cliff.
"Okay, then it's settled."
Bai Xiaowen closed her eyes and rested. Li Shuyi took out the information booklet that was previously distributed and read some information about the treasure land of the Broken Ridge Mountain's Great Rift Valley.
The empty stone ground was quiet. All the students were reviewing materials or resting with their eyes closed.
Each university took turns to send students to monitor the changes in the energy intensity of the Space Rift in the Great Rift Valley.
Three hours later, a student from Jinghai University rushed back and reported that the energy intensity of the Space Rift had just reached Level 3.
Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi, as well as Xiang Hui, Chen Guowei, Feng Zi 'ang, and the others in the car behind them, got out of the car and walked towards the Space Rift. A few Level 3 hunters from other universities also set off at the same time.
According to the energy intensity increase of the Space Rift, it would take at least six to eight hours to reach Level 4. It would take at least 24 hours to reach the maximum value of Level 6.
This half a day to a day's time was the advantage of the Beginner Hunters.
"Be careful. Retreat when you encounter danger that you can't resist." Yan Xiaoxin repeatedly reminded the members of Jinghai University's team as they sent Bai Xiaowen and the others to the Space Rift.
The other team members, including Liu Fei, sent their blessings to Bai Xiaowen and the others regardless of whether they were willing or not. Only the team leader, Zhao Yuting, remained expressionless and silent.
"Don't worry," Bai Xiaowen smiled and waved at Yan Xiaoxin and the others, then stepped into the Space Rift first. With a flash of light, Bai Xiaowen's figure disappeared.
…
After a slight feeling of weightlessness, the surrounding white scenery regained its color and froze.
A wilderness appeared in front of Bai Xiaowen's eyes. Under the blue sky and white clouds, there were rolling mountains in the distance.
In the wilderness, sparse short trees could be vaguely seen.
"From the map, this should be the Giant Beast Wilderness, located at the northern end of the Great Rift Valley's treasure space."
Bai Xiaowen looked around. He wasn't used to being alone. He raised his hand to summon the Wrath Claw, sat on the Wrath Claw's broad back, and pointed in a direction. The Wrath Claw's four claws stirred up the wind as it quietly galloped in the wilderness.
Along the way, Bai Xiaowen also encountered sporadic wandering mutated dogs, mutated wolves, and other beasts. Most of them were relatively weak. They felt the Wrath Claw's aura and avoided it.
Bai Xiaowen didn't have the intention to chase these low-level beasts. It was just a waste of time for him.
After running for more than ten kilometers in one breath, Bai Xiaowen had reached the depths of the Giant Beast Wilderness.
Suddenly, the Wrath Claw stopped. Its claws lightly scratched the ground, its body lowered, and the gray hair on its back stood up.
Tap, tap …
The sound of heavy footsteps could be heard from afar.
Bai Xiaowen looked over and was slightly surprised. A huge rhinoceros beast with a body length of six to seven meters with slightly red eyes was slowly approaching. Just the horn on its nose alone was close to a meter long. It was frightening.
"It really is the Giant Beast Wilderness. Such a huge mutated beast can't even fit in the storage space," Bai Xiaowen mumbled.
Bai Xiaowen used insight and quickly obtained the huge rhinoceros beast's information.
[Thickback Rhinoceros (Elite Level 5)]
[Race: Wild Beast/Terrestrial Beast]
[Attributes: Strength 33, Agility 8, Vitality 25, Spirit 5]
[Skills: Raging Charge, Penetration, Thick Hide]
"I just arrived and I already encountered an Elite monster. My luck is not bad."
Bai Xiaowen jumped down from the Wrath Claw's back and used the Black Soul Stone's skill, Return of the Dead. At the same time, he took out the Desert Eagle and shot at the Thickback Rhinoceros. This big guy only had 8 Agility. With such a huge body, there was no way it could dodge.
Bang, the first shot hit.
100% Critical Hit Rate and 250% Critical Damage, but it only took 30 HP from the Thickback Rhinoceros. The Thickback Rhinoceros's passive skill, [Thick Hide], had undoubtedly played a huge role. It could reduce 30% Physical Damage (non-lethal).
The Thickback Rhinoceros roared in pain and dug its front hooves into the ground. White smoke came out of its nostrils.
Raging Charge!
Bai Xiaowen had already started moving when the Thickback Rhinoceros charged. Insight showed that once Raging Charge was activated, it would be a straight path. It would not be able to turn. This was also related to the Thickback Rhinoceros's 8 Agility.
Boom!
The Thickback Rhinoceros missed and charged dozens of meters away.
After Bai Xiaowen dodged the Charge, he raised his pistol and fired continuously. The Skeleton Mage's first Lightning Throw was also in the process of charging.
The Thickback Rhinoceros spread its hind hooves and plowed two deep trenches in the ground. Only then did it manage to stop. It turned its head and ran quickly. Its target was still Bai Xiaowen.
Bai Xiaowen retreated and fired at the same time. He originally thought that with his 15 Agility, he could kite this big guy to death without losing any damage. However, the reality of the situation exceeded his expectations.
The Thickback Rhinoceros was too big. Its four legs were as thick and long as pillars. Each step it took was equivalent to Bai Xiaowen taking three steps! Although it was relatively slow, its speed was very fast.
Moreover, Bai Xiaowen was retreating to increase the distance between them. Of course, his retreating speed could not compare to his forward speed.
After firing a few shots, Bai Xiaowen was caught up by the Thickback Rhinoceros. The big guy lowered its head and with a flash of light, it rammed into Bai Xiaowen's abdomen.
Spiritual Realm prompt: [Thickback Rhinoceros's skill: Penetration activated.]
When the Thickback Rhinoceros lowered its head, Bai Xiaowen had already ordered the Skeleton Mage to use Lightning Throw. The Thickback Rhinoceros's body stiffened. The Penetration skill was forcibly interrupted!
Interrupting a skill like this was quite difficult.
First of all, the Thickback Rhinoceros's Penetration was very fast. It took less than half a second to charge.
On the other hand, the Skeleton Mage's Lightning Throw required 1.5 seconds of channeling time. It also had to take into account the speed of the lightning's flight! How many variables had to be considered and how many complicated calculations had to be made to strictly control the speed of the lightning within 0.5 seconds of the Thickback Rhinoceros's skill being activated?
However, this kind of calculation was only an instinct for Bai Xiaowen's super brain. Especially when he was only controlling one Skeleton Mage. There were no other summoned creatures to share the calculation power.
After the Thickback Rhinoceros's two most threatening skills missed, the Skeleton Sword Shieldbearers, Shadow Assassins, Wrath Claw, and other close-combat creatures swarmed forward.
The Thickback Rhinoceros's Strength was very high. Every time it raised its hooves, stomped, and headbutted, the damage it dealt was considerable. Against such a huge monster, the Skeleton Sword Shieldbearers' blocking abilities were also very difficult to fully utilize. They would be sent flying every time they came into contact.
Fortunately, there were four Skeleton Sword Shieldbearers. They took turns to attack. When one was sent flying, the other three were on standby.
Bai Xiaowen and the group of close-combat creatures besieged the Thickback Rhinoceros. Even though the Thickback Rhinoceros had the damage reduction effect of Thick Skin, it could not withstand the attacks. Wounds appeared on its body, and its HP slowly decreased.
After fighting for close to a minute, the Thickback Rhinoceros's HP finally hit rock bottom. Its huge body fell to the ground with a plop.
Bai Xiaowen heaved a sigh of relief. On average, the Skeleton Sword Shieldbearers each enjoyed two Flying Bones (Flying Bones?). His HP had dropped by nearly half. This kind of Elite-Grade monster with high Strength and Constitution was indeed not easy to deal with.
The Wrath Claw's ultimate skill, Suppress, could only knock down targets smaller than itself. The Thickback Rhinoceros's body was four to five times the size of the Wrath Claw. It was impossible for it to succeed. It could only cause five Bleeding attacks with 50% damage. Moreover, Suppress, which had a cooldown of nearly eight hours, could not be used on an Elite-Grade monster casually.
A silver treasure chest slowly condensed on the Thickback Rhinoceros's body.
It was a C-rank combat evaluation. Bai Xiaowen chose to draw and received 500 Soul Energy Points. The card flipped, and a piece of equipment with a blue glow appeared in front of Bai Xiaowen.
[Rhinoceros's Strength (Bound after pickup)]
[Grade: Elite (Blue)]
[Equipment Position: Waist]
[Equipment Requirements: Base Strength 15, Base Constitution 15]
[Attribute: Strength + 2]
[Durability Description: The residual heat of this thick leather belt seems to let you feel the wild strength of the Rhinoceros.]
"Tsk, tsk. It's the first treasure chest to drop equipment. It's a good sign. "Bai Xiaowen chose to equip the belt.
A warm current flowed through his body. Bai Xiaowen's Strength increased by two points, reaching 18 points! His current Strength attribute was not any weaker than a melee-type Metahuman of the same level. With Bai Xiaowen's Level 5 Advanced Fighting Skill, it would not be a problem for him to act as a melee attacker.
In fact, this equipment was more suitable for a Warrior like Li Shuyi. High Strength meant high attack. However, Li Shuyi was not by her side and did not have the right to distribute the equipment. She could not meet the 15 Strength and Constitution requirements of this equipment.
However, Bai Xiaowen was more interested in the Thickback Rhinoceros's corpse. This place was different from the Spirit World. After killing monsters, they could plunder materials and precious meat without restraint. The rewards were even better.
Bai Xiaowen commanded the Shadow Assassins and the Skeleton Swordsman to work together. After working for more than ten minutes, they first peeled off the thick skin of the Thickback Rhinoceros and rolled it up to put it in their storage space.
This Thickback Rhinoceros's body did not produce any precious meat. However, Bai Xiaowen, who had been drooling for a long time, still chose the best and most tender parts. He cut off more than ten kilograms of meat, skewered it with branches, and barbecued it. His mouth was covered in oil.
Metahumans' bodies were different from ordinary people. They would not feel bloated even if they ate dozens of kilograms of meat. If they did not eat for a few days, they would feel hungry, but it would not affect their movements.
Of course, when they lived in the base city, most Metahumans ate three meals a day on time. This was a habit that was good for their health.
"The rhinoceros meat I made is naturally barbecued. Compared to He Zhiqing's food, the taste is a little bland, but the texture is fresh and tender. The texture is not bad." Bai Xiaowen rubbed his belly and savored the aftertaste.
