Chapter 1209: The Magical Secret Realm (Part II)
However, Zhan Chen's efforts could only block the attack of the Star Winged Tiger to a minimum, and the attack issued by the two-star beast was fatal to the cross-star realm powerhouse even if it was a gust of wind, and the powerful strength could turn the air into a powerful attack.
The protective shield made by King Kong Divine Blessing was shattered by Gangfeng at the first time, and then Zhan Chen's body had a "close contact" with Gangfeng, his body was like a bullet that had been smashed into the earth, hitting a pit thousands of meters deep on the earth, and Zhan Chen was lying at the bottom of the pit and couldn't get up, feeling that all the bones in his body were broken.
Fortunately, the star-winged tiger did not continue to pursue him, but turned its head and left, perhaps in its opinion, Zhan Chen was just a disturbing little fly, and he would be killed casually.
Escaping a catastrophe, Zhan Chen couldn't help but let out a long sigh, thinking: "I didn't expect such a danger hidden in this secret realm, this time I was lucky, but next time I won't be so lucky." โ
He blamed himself deeply, blaming himself for being too paralyzed and careless, and not taking Lin Xiaohan's reminder to heart, so he suffered a loss this time.
Zhan Chen took out the recovery pill and gave it to himself, although he was seriously injured, but the star magician's physique was strong, and with the aid of the pill, only an hour later, he recovered as before.
Only then did he dare to get out of the dirt pit, wash the dust off his body, and thought: "It seems that this world is full of crises, and I can't act as boldly as I did just now, I have to take every step to avoid the star beasts here." โ
However, after receiving a blow from the two-star beast, he also roughly understood the strength of the two-star beast, according to the records, the star-winged tiger ranked in the middle and lower level of the two-star beast, but Rao is so, its strength is still at least five to six times its own, and it is definitely not an existence that he can face head-on.
From this, he also guessed that the Lin family martial arts competition will be held here for a purpose, that is, to test the survivability and adaptability of the contestants, how to overcome many obstacles to reach the destination, the strong must not only have strength, but also have enough wisdom, otherwise they will not go far after all.
Zhan Chen began to act cautiously, he restrained his aura and traveled in the dense forest, but in order to determine the direction, he would often spread his divine thoughts, explore the terrain ahead, probe the possible threats ahead, whenever he found a powerful star beast, he would always take back his divine thoughts, and then hide his breath, although the strength of the star beasts is strong, but the divine thoughts are much weaker than human monks, if Zhan Chen hides his breath, they generally cannot accurately judge the specific location of Zhan Chen, so that he can bypass the territory of one star beast after another without dangerใ
In this process, Zhan Chen also made an exciting discovery, this forest produces a large number of one-star elixirs, and they are all very cherished varieties, which are sold at a high price in the outside world, but they are everywhere here, Zhan Chen guessed that this is due to the rich star power here, the climate that is relatively suitable for the growth of elixirs and the closed environment. He didn't deliberately look for these elixirs, but he collected nearly three hundred plants.
It took about half a day to march before Zhan Chen walked out of this forest, but the scene in front of him surprised him, beyond the forest was a completely different scene, erupting hot magma everywhere, tumbling endless smoke and dust, and when he took a breath, he felt a burning sensation in his lungs, which was almost suffocating.
Zhan Chen thought he was hallucinating, he looked back at the vibrant forest behind him, and yes, these two incompatible terrains were put together.
How did the forest and the sea of fire full of magma come together? Zhan Chen couldn't figure out this question, this was obviously Lin Tianya's means, no one else could do it, but he didn't understand Lin Tianya's intention in doing this kind of thing.
"The climate here is very harsh, I have to leave quickly!" Zhan Chen thought, and suddenly he seemed to think of something, and shouted: "Wait, the landscape next to the forest is volcanic magma, which should be very special, which means that it can help me locate it!"
Zhan Chen hurriedly called up the map again for reference, but he immediately found that there were five plots of magma volcanoes next to the forest on the map!
And he also found an interesting phenomenon, that is, the terrain in the entire secret realm is distributed in a block-like manner, and each terrain is divided into small neat pieces, like a puzzle piece.
This may not seem obvious on a map at first glance, but a closer look at it can reveal the pattern.
"Anyway, hurry up, I don't have much time, this smoky world is obviously more dangerous than the jungle, I need to hurry through it and find the next piece of the puzzle. Zhan Chen thought again.
If he finds three adjacent terrains in succession, he is likely to find out the approximate coordinates of his position in the way the terrain is spliced, so as to determine the direction in the center of the secret realm.
So Zhan Chen quickly rushed into the billowing smoke, the temperature in the volcanic area was as high as nearly a thousand degrees Celsius, but such a temperature was nothing for a crosshair realm powerhouse, what was annoying was the smoke and dust, which not only made Zhan Chen feel uncomfortable, but also hindered his judgment ability, making it difficult for him to find the right direction.
Zhan Chen could only determine the direction according to the compass in his hand, but he found a strange phenomenon, the star power gathered in this volcano-covered area was even stronger, nearly three times that of the forest area he had just stayed, and the gravity was not the same, the gravity here was close to half of that of Taihao Star.
"Not only is the terrain and climate different, but the concentration of star power and gravity everywhere are also different, why is it arranged like this?" Zhan Chen thought silently, he seemed to have grasped Lin Tianya's purpose of arranging the secret realm like this, but the thoughts in his mind were still unclear.
The volcanic area seems to be a forbidden area for life, but it is in this harsh environment that more and more fierce star beasts are bred.
Zhan Chen felt several powerful and ferocious auras lurking around him, and as long as he accidentally entered their territory, he would definitely attract a merciless attack.
However, Zhan Chen also had experience, he found that compared to the divine thoughts, he had a more intelligent talent "Di Ting", using this divine power, he could hear the movement of distant places, and accurately judge where there were star beasts lurking, thus avoiding the risk of being detected by star beasts due to soul contact.
Of course, even so, some battles are unavoidable, because in the volcanic area there are more one-star beasts than two-star beasts, these guys will attack Zhan Chen, and Zhan Chen will have to destroy them, at this time, Zhan Chen will choose to fight quickly, try not to alarm the two-star beasts lurking in the distance.
"The star beasts here must be fire attributed, and the fire attribute star beasts on Taihao Star are very rare, they must have been brought back by Lin Tianya from other planets, then again, he created this secret realm, and he has to go thousands of miles to catch the star beasts of various planets into the secret realm, what is this picture? Could it be that Lin Tianya wants to create a planet museum?" Zhan Chen was thinking again, and the answer was already coming out in his heart.
There are unique elixirs growing in the volcanic area, Zhan Chen has collected nearly a hundred them along the way, and the grade of these elixirs is higher than that in the dense forest area, and even five elixirs have reached the level of two stars, once they are brought to Cloud Swallowing City to sell, they will definitely harvest a large amount of star stones.
Three days later, Zhan Chen successfully crossed the volcanic area, and at this time he was very anxious, because there was less than a week left for him, and if he didn't reach the secret realm within another week, then he would be eliminated like most people.
Therefore, whether you can judge the area outside the volcanic area becomes the key to finding the right way out.
After passing through the volcanic area, he was presented with an area shrouded in thick clouds and strong winds, much like the surface of the Taihao star, but the flow of air currents was more violent and disorderly. Various air currents collided with each other, forming a storm mixed with these countless lightning bolts.
In fact, there is also a powerful thunder in the Cloud Swallowing Storm, but it is still a small amount compared to this place. Zhan Chen saw that the huge lightning in front of him was thousands of meters high and straight into the sky, and it also reflected a large number of thunderballs, fluttering with the wind, making the entire area full of dangerous aura.
The powerful thunder and lightning also brought a serious consequence, that is, the compass in Zhan Chen's hand failed, and he couldn't help but curse secretly: "What kind of places are these, one is more outrageous than the other!"
He shook his head helplessly, then took out the map and began to search carefully, when suddenly his eyes lit up and he exclaimed, "There is!
Zhan Chen found that the one in the southeast corner of the map of the five places he had just found coincided with the combination of terrain he had encountered.
Luckily for him, this area wasn't too far from the heart of the Secret Realm, and he only had to traverse three or four more areas to get there.
Zhan Chen put the token away, looked at the area in front of him where the wind and thunder were full of thick clouds, and said to himself: "It seems that if you want to reach the center of the secret realm, you must pass through this wind and thunder area." But this is a big test for me, my compass is out of order, and if I enter it, I will probably lose my way, what should I do?"
After thinking for a while, he did not get an answer, so he had to walk forward first, into the storm, and as soon as he entered the storm, he was immediately in danger, and it turned out that a huge lightning bolt happened to strike at his head.
"Lei Yingduan!" Zhan Chen hurriedly shouted, using his footwork to dodge its attack, the power of the lightning here is equivalent to the attack of a seven- or eight-star crosshairs, although it will not cause any fatal injuries to Zhan Chen, but they are still quite troublesome to hit, and the body will fall into a state of temporary paralysis, this kind of taste Zhan Chen does not want to taste more.
