"Is the Mirage Mountain Range really on Earth?"
In the castle library, Tang Yu wondered.
People used the invisible sun as a symbol to distinguish the inner and outer layers of the Mirage Mountain Range. The inner layer was the real Mirage Mountain Range.
However, in the inner layer, although the sun and moon couldn't be seen, it wasn't completely dark. It was just dim, as if the sunlight couldn't shine into the depths of the mountain range.
But even if the sun and moon couldn't be seen, the inner layer of the Mirage Mountain Range was still dim at night.
Tang Yu knew Jingcheng was organizing people to explore. Lindong's Ancestral Dragon leader, Zhou Zhenglei, also sent someone to invite him, but he refused.
"It's not necessarily a good thing for the exploration team to have too many people. But Jingcheng should have no other choice. Although the team can avoid danger more easily, the demonic beasts and monsters in the Mirage Mountain Range are too powerful. If there are fewer people, they won't be able to resist the danger."
"With Jingcheng's background, they should have made a lot of preparations. Maybe we can gain something …"
Tang Yu pondered.
To him, Heaven and Earth resources were not that attractive. Fruits that could awaken special abilities, or items with strange powers, were only so-so … what was more attractive was a place like the Alliance of Mages, which had a huge library of books.
Compared to exploring the Mirage Mountain Range, there were more important things to do now.
He lowered his head and looked at the book engraved with mysterious patterns in his hand. His mind was completely immersed in it.
Reading makes me super happy!
… …
"Phew ~"
Putting down the exquisite Book of Runes in his hand, Tang Yu felt he had gained a lot.
It was an Intermediate Source Mechanics book that was just refreshed in the market yesterday.
The Book of Runes had appeared in the market a long time ago, including Elementary Rune Literature, Elementary Pharmaceutics, Elementary Combat Skills, and so on. He already had more than a dozen of these basic books as early as two months ago. Because of these Books of Runes, he was able to lay a solid foundation.
Elaine, Kevin, Roger, and other followers also benefited a lot from the Book of Runes.
But later, after more than two months, no more Book of Runes appeared. Tang Ouhuang didn't believe it and spent 100,000 Source Crystals to buy the Book of Runes in the market. In the end, he bought nothing but a few slightly valuable drawings.
It was such a huge loss.
For a time, he thought he was lucky. But a few days ago, the Book of Intermediate Pharmaceutics appeared in the market. Yesterday, another Book of Intermediate Source Mechanics appeared.
Tang Yu felt something was wrong.
He didn't deliberately refresh the market. Since the market refreshed at midnight every day, two precious Books of Runes had appeared, and they were both intermediate level.
If he said that he had successfully smuggled himself in, there was no reason for him to wait until now.
He thought back to the major events that had happened recently.
Nancy had reached the Transcendent level.
In the past, whether it was the "Basics of Rune Literature" or other Books of Runes, there were very few Transcendent knowledge points. At one time, Tang Yu needed to analyze and reason to determine the power of the Transcendent rank.
The two Books of Runes that appeared recently both talked about Transcendent.
In 《Intermediate Pharmaceutics》, there was a saying about using the materials of Transcendents to create medicine … That's right, Transcendents, every strand of hair, every drop of blood, including any part of the body, could be used as a special ingredient … Some parts even had strange abilities.
[Intermediate Rune Literature] described the high-level usage of origin power. The mysterious veil that shrouded the body of an Extraordinary was instantly stripped away.
"Transcendence is divided into three stages."
"The gap between each stage is as huge as the difference between the Transcendent and the Awakening Stage."
"Nancy and Yan Dingtian are both in the first stage. Compared to the senior Transcendents, there should be a big gap."
Yan Dingtian's gap should be huge. Nancy's strength was improving rapidly every day … It's not impossible for her to fight with the senior Transcendents.
"But in the second stage, the essence of life is different."
"The second stage of Transcendents, the Elemental system can transform their body into energy; the Flesh system has the ability to regenerate broken limbs and even regenerate from a drop of blood; and the Spirit system can leave their body and travel the world …"
"It can be said that in the second stage, the Transcendents will have an incredible survival ability. Perhaps they can be defeated, but it's extremely difficult to kill."
"And in the third stage …"
Tang Yu murmured.
"The most symbolic ability is the domain! Once the attack is made, the whole world is enveloped in it. "
"When I summoned Nancy across the border, the last terrifying powerhouse that appeared should be a third stage Transcendents."
Thinking of this, he still had a lingering fear. If it weren't for the system's summoning power, even if he held the Return Scroll, he might not be able to escape.
… …
The Mirage Mountains.
After a few hours of trekking, the expedition stopped in front of a swamp. Through the dim light, they could faintly see the other side of the swamp, as well as the pitch-black, bubbling soft mud in the swamp from time to time.
"Is this still a swamp?"
"Yes and no." The nominal leader, Jingcheng's commander said.
His eyebrows were raised, giving people a feeling of power without being angry. But his words weren't aggressive.
"This area in front of us has the characteristics of a swamp, but it's much more dangerous. The swamp soil is very toxic and corrosive. Once you fall into it …"
"But look carefully, there are a lot of protruding stones on the black swamp. As long as we step on these stones, we can reach the other side. Just be careful."
Someone retorted.
"Who knows what other dangers there are in the black swamp? What if there are monsters coming out? Why not take a detour? "
The leader didn't get angry. Instead, he smiled and asked.
"Don't you think that the team has a purpose all the way? Some of you may have guessed it. Yes, when the mirage appeared that day, it was very clear. We drew a small part of the map. Later, after comparing the specific environment, we confirmed part of the authenticity."
"The road we're taking can lead directly to one of the intact palace complexes. Once we take a detour, we'll lose the clear location and it'll be difficult to find the palace complexes."
"And when we explored the black swamp before, we just stepped on the stones and didn't encounter any danger."
No one refuted. The expedition found an area around the black swamp that was relatively close to the other side. Several Jingcheng hunters who had passed through once took the lead and passed through one after another.
"It's our turn."
Zhou Jianhong looked at the few jumping figures in front of him and jumped on the first stone with a little force.
The black swamp kept bubbling and looked terrible. But standing on the stone, he didn't feel uncomfortable. The only difficulty was that some of the stones were spaced far apart, some had a small area to stand on, and some had a smooth surface …
However, for him who had reached the 45th floor of the "Trial Tower", it was too easy to pass through the black swamp.
Standing on the crooked and slippery stone, it was like returning home. It was super familiar.
Even the hunters from other shelters weren't mediocre. As long as they were careful, it wasn't difficult to pass through the black swamp as the leader said.
"Ahhhh!"
A scream came from not far away. Zhou Jianhong suddenly turned his head to look.
A black shadow rushed out of the swamp soil. A hunter reacted in time and jumped to avoid it, but he ignored the environment under his feet. His whole body stepped on the soft swamp soil and sank.
