(Emmmm, the previous chapter number is wrong. Just ignore it.)
As before, dense, mysterious runes were sketched out in the void.
The rune array emitted a glowing light. The light was like a circle of light that was slowly shrinking.
Tang Yu held his breath.
He prayed in his heart.
It would be best if he could summon a potion master.
Ziz-
All of a sudden!
When the circle of light shrank to the core, a blazing white light burst from the summoning array.
Tang Yu put his hand in front of his forehead, his eyes couldn't help but squint.
His heart skipped a beat.
White light?
No, no!
This doesn't seem to be the light of the adventurer's phantom.
He looked at the array through the bright white light. He couldn't see any phantom, but the light on the array was getting brighter and brighter.
Suddenly, Tang Yu seemed to be aware of something, and a translucent screen appeared in front of him.
The spirit stones stored in the warehouse were displayed in the upper left corner of the screen in numerical units.
However, at this time, the number representing the spirit stone storage was rapidly decreasing.
It was decreasing at a rate of 10,000 per second!
Tang Yu had never seen such a situation before.
His eyelids twitched wildly as he stared at the number on the panel. He felt so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe. But he didn't stop the summoning array from absorbing the spirit stones' energy.
Half a minute later.
The energy absorption rate finally slowed down.
Two minutes later, the number representing the spirit stone storage finally stopped decreasing.
Tang Yu roughly estimated that 500,000 spirit stones had been consumed in such a short moment.
500,000 spirit stones!
That's how much it cost to upgrade the territory from level 4 to level 5!
At the core of the circle of light, a golden light burst out.
Tang Yu didn't have time to think about it. In his mind, the long-lost system prompt rang.
"Beep, summoning energy replenished. Starting summoning."
"Beep, condition missing. Summoning failed …"
"Beep, condition missing. Summoning failed …"
"…"
Tang Yu: "!!!"
What the hell!
The ancients didn't deceive me. Ten in a row ruined a life!
Give me back my five hundred thousand spirit stones!
Tang Yu stared at the summoning array blankly as if everything in front of him had turned gray.
"Wait …"
Zhang Xuan was taken aback. Even though the summoning had failed, the Summoning Formation in front of him did not disappear. It was just like the golden light at the core of the circle of light. It was flickering and leaping, but he could not see the figure of the adventurer. It was as if … he had summoned the adventurer halfway, but he was unable to summon it.
Tang Yu didn't know why he had this idea. He couldn't care less about the 500,000 spirit stones. He frowned and thought about the reason why the summoning failed.
In the description of the tavern.
Summoning, the only difference was the aptitude and profession. At the very least, it was the difference between spending more crystals and spending less crystals, but there was no such thing as failure.
He had never heard that the summoning process required a large amount of Origin Crystals …
The energy required for the summoning had already been used up. The current situation was like buying a 200 RMB ticket and boarding a train, only to be told by the train attendant that they had to pay another 20,000 RMB. If they couldn't pay, they would be thrown off the train.
Tang Yu felt that the current summoning circle was in such a situation. If the spirit stones stored in the warehouse were insufficient, or he chose to cancel it …
It was very likely that the entire summoning circle would collapse on the spot.
And now, after paying the fare, the train had arrived at the destination. But it seemed that there was a lack of conditions that caused the train door to not open.
Tang Yu carefully recalled, "The tavern's description said that the aptitude was divided into DCBA and above. There was no clear mention of S-rank. The golden light should be the light corresponding to the S-rank aptitude."
"The gap between S-rank and A-rank should be huge. Just like the awakening rank and the transcendent rank, summoning an A-rank adventurer doesn't cost much energy. But for S-rank, in addition to 500,000 spirit stones, there's still a condition to be met."
He had already asked the system thousands of times in his heart. But the answer he got was still missing the condition.
Fortunately, the summoning circle was still quietly suspended in mid-air. It seemed like it wouldn't collapse for a while.
Tang Yu had asked Elaine and the others about the situation when they responded to the summoning. It seemed that they signed the contract after they agreed. For a moment, he thought, could it be because the adventurer on the other side refused the contract? That's why the summoning failed.
But soon he shook his head.
After summoning so many times, he had some understanding and guesses about the tavern's summoning mechanism. Perhaps it was related to the law of cause and effect. Every chosen adventurer, the moment they were chosen, they had already stepped onto the pirate ship … Ah, no, no, no!
This summoning was more like an accident. But it also made Tang Yu understand that the system had flaws.
"If I can meet the conditions and summon the adventurer, I may be able to further access the core secrets of the system."
… …
Castle Hall.
After the internal welcome party, Tang Yu was meeting the newly arrived followers.
Nine people, some were wearing their original clothes, some were already in danger before being summoned, and now they changed into quite modern clothes.
Tang Yu's gaze fell on three of them.
The three A-rank aptitude followers were also the strongest among the nine people.
One was an Eleventh Awakening Stage, and two were Tenth Awakening Stage.
The Eleventh Awakening Stage follower. She was shrouded in a black robe. Her face couldn't be seen clearly. She was silent. He could only judge her identity from the curve of her body.
The Red Moon Witch.
Her real name was Red Moon. Maybe she had abandoned her previous name.
She stood there, surrounded by dead silence. The others stood at least a few meters away from the Red Moon Witch. Although they were companions, they still frowned when they felt the strong smell of blood on her.
Tang Yu, who had read the introduction, knew that she was a truly ruthless person. She once slaughtered 50,000 people in a small town to achieve her goal.
It was said that in her area, the name of the Red Moon Witch could stop a child from crying.
Of course, although the Red Moon was bloodthirsty, she wasn't without a bottom line. That massacre was also the result of a variety of reasons. Otherwise, even if she was an A-rank, he … he might give up the summoning.
"I intend to divide you into three groups and send you to various places to perform tasks, mainly spying on intelligence and collecting rare resources …" Tang Yu paused, "Especially the secret realm. No matter what means you use, as long as you find information about the secret realm, report it immediately."
Finding the secret realm meant finding the rift crystal.
The energy of the summoning array had been replenished. The missing condition was likely related to space. And the only item Tang Yu could think of that was related to space was the rift crystal.
Not to mention the secret realm itself was extremely valuable.
Zuo? U, skeletons, cracks of the abyss …
All kinds of doubts, perhaps some answers could be found in the secret realm.
At this time, a cold voice sounded:
"I don't need help."
Tang Yu looked over in amazement, the eyes under the hood met his gaze.
Dead silence … Mountain of corpses and sea of blood …
After a pause, Tang Yu said, "That's fine." Then he looked at the two people who originally planned to be in the Red Moon group, "You and Gretel will be in the same group."
Gretel was another Tenth Awakening Stage hunter with long hair like steel needles.
Hearing that, he stepped forward, glanced at the Red Moon, reached out and clenched his fist on his chest, grinned and said, "My Lord, wait for our good news."
Tang Yu looked at the last follower. After pausing on her face for a moment, his eyes moved up and fell on the top of her head, the pair of furry pointed ears.
