A notification popped up in-game that he had killed an Epic creature, Realmwind Insect. Zhou Wen walked to the stone pillar that had been sliced apart by the Realmwind and saw a hole in the middle of the stone pillar. Inside was a bug that looked like a cricket, but it was more than a foot long. However, it had already been sliced into two along with the stone pillar.
So this is the thing that's causing trouble in the ruins. Zhou Wen looked at the bug's appearance and never expected it to have such destructive power.
Thankfully, I have Banana Fairy. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been easy to find it. Zhou Wen got Banana Fairy to continue searching for Realmwind Insects in the ruins. He planned on killing a few more to determine if Banana Fairy could perfectly restrain the Realmwind Insects.
However, Banana Fairy's performance was better than Zhou Wen had imagined. As long as the Realmwind appeared and wasn't too far from her, it would be controlled by her. Instead, it would become a sharp weapon in her hands. She easily found the Realmwind Insects that were hiding in the stone pillars or walls to release the Realmwind skill and killed them.
"Ding!"
When he killed the sixth Realmwind Insect, Zhou Wen heard a familiar sound as a crystal dropped.
When Zhou Wen saw the crystal, he was delighted. The crystal resembled an ant's egg and was the size of a chicken's egg. There was a projection of the Realmwind Insect inside. It was clearly a Primordial Energy Skill Crystal with the name "Realmwind Insect Crystal."
I wonder what the Primordial Energy Skill of the Realmwind Insect is? Could it be Realmwind? Zhou Wen thought to himself as he got the blood-colored avatar to pick up the Realmwind Insect Crystal. He wanted to see what kind of skill he could obtain.
However, the system suddenly gave a notification: 'Requires 21 Strength and 9 Wind stats to absorb the Realmwind Insect Crystal. Insufficient Wind stats. Unable to refine and absorb.'
It actually needs the Wind stat? Zhou Wen was somewhat depressed. He could understand the Wind stat. It was likely similar to the Poison stat points he had previously absorbed.
However, Epic Primordial Energy Skills seemed to have all sorts of requirements. It wasn't like the past where he could practice them as long as he was willing.
Zhou Wen had killed quite a number of Wangliang, but only one Poison Crystal dropped. The other crystals that dropped were all four basic stats. From this, it could be seen that the drop rate of special stat crystals wasn't high. The Wind stat crystal was probably about the same. It wasn't easy for it to drop.
Zhou Wen was somewhat vexed as he held the Realmwind Insect Crystal. It might be refreshed if he threw it on the ground, and he couldn't absorb it even if he held it in his hand. There was no inventory in-game.
"If only there was a Chaos Bead in the game." That was all Zhou Wen could think of. It was completely useless. He held the Realmwind Insect Crystal in his hand and circled the ruins with Banana Fairy, killing all the Realmwind Insects he could find.
Indeed, as Zhou Wen had expected, a few basic stat crystals dropped, but not a single wind stat crystal dropped. The drop rate was rather low.
However, this was also related to the rarity of the Realmwind Insects. Zhou Wen and Banana Fairy had only found seventeen Realmwind Insects after touring the entire ruin. They couldn't find any more. Unless Zhou Wen refreshed the dungeon, there would be no more Realmwind Insects to kill.
However, once the dungeon respawned, the Realmwind Insect Crystal in the blood-colored avatar's hand would also disappear. The drop rate was similarly very low, making Zhou Wen reluctant to waste it.
It's too wasteful to just grind it like this. I'll make a trip to the ruins in real life and kill the Realmwind Insects in real life to see if they can drop a wind stat crystal. Zhou Wen made up his mind to kill the Realmwind Insects in real life.
With Banana Fairy around, he wouldn't be in any danger as long as he didn't enter the underground passageway. He could take the opportunity to see if An Sheng and company were still in the ruins.
If they hadn't entered the underground passageway, he could rendezvous with them.
However, Zhou Wen felt that they had already entered the underground passageway. There was a high chance that he would still have to enter the underground passageway.
After packing his things, Zhou Wen left the tent. He planned on telling Lu Yunxian and company to stay behind while he made a trip to the ruins.
Zhao Xin and company were chatting when they saw Zhou Wen walk over. Zhao Xin casually said, "Your injuries are so serious. Why aren't you resting in the tent? Just shout if there's anything. "
"My injuries are better. It's not that serious. I want to take a look inside the ruins. You guys stay here. If An Sheng returns, tell him not to enter the ruins again. Just wait for me here." With that said, Zhou Wen turned around and left.
Zhao Xin and company widened their eyes. Previously, Lu Yunxian had said that Zhou Wen wouldn't go to the ruins. They didn't believe it, but now, they had no choice but to believe it.
"Zhou Wen, there's a strange spatial wind in the ruins. It's useless for you to go. You'll only be sending yourself to your death," Zhao Xin said.
"I've already thought of a way to deal with the spatial wind. You don't have to worry about me." Zhou Wen was only there to inform them. He didn't plan on letting them go with him, so he didn't stay. With that said, he turned and left.
"Young Master Wen, I'll go with you." Lu Yunxian was already prepared as he chased after him out of the tent.
Zhao Xin and company looked at each other. Finally, Zhao Xin said, "Let's go outside the ruins to take a look. If they die in the ruins, we can think of a way to collect their corpses. It would be too sad if Adjutant An doesn't even see their corpses when he returns."
"Brother Zhao, do you think Zhou Wen has really thought of a way to crack the spatial wind?" another person asked.
"How is that possible? Even Adjutant An can't crack that thing. Zhou Wen doesn't cultivate a wind-elemental Primordial Energy Art, and he's only at the Legendary stage. What can he use to crack it?" Zhao Xin thought nothing of it.
"What if Zhou Wen cracks it? Should we follow him in?" the person asked again.
"It's pointless. Why think so much? Let's go take a look first." As Zhao Xin spoke, he packed up his raincoat and the three of them left the tent.
When they arrived at the ruins, Zhou Wen and Lu Yunxian had already entered. Thankfully, the blood rain inside the ruins was much lighter. Their vision was much clearer, allowing them to see their figures.
"Zhou Wen, Commander Lu, we'll be here to receive you. Shout if you need anything." Zhao Xin didn't dare step into the ruins as he shouted at Zhou Wen and Lu Yunxian from outside.
Zhou Wen ignored him. He tried persuading Lu Yunxian, but Lu Yunxian refused to return. All he could do was let him follow them into the ruins.
I wonder if those Realmwind Insects are in the same positions as in-game? Zhou Wen looked at a stone pillar. If the positions were the same, he could strike first and directly kill the Realmwind Insects. There was no need to wait for them to release the Realmwind.
With this in mind, Zhou Wen gripped the hilt of his Bamboo Blade tightly and slowly approached the stone pillar. Regardless of whether they were in the same position as in-game, there was no harm in trying.
