Chapter 276: Desperate Desert Journey

In order to complete the inheritance task of the Flash Bubbles about the Yang Flame Controller, Rococo and the others temporarily used Turtle City as a base of activities during this time.

Speaking of which, it can be regarded as their luck, although Turtle City is a neutral area, but after all, it is a city in the Eastern Continent, and usually there are always imperial players who account for the majority here. Although the PK punishment mechanism in Turtle City is not as biased towards domestic players as it is in the Empire, after all, there are many people in the Empire, and it is common for Federation players who come here to be bullied and suffer small losses. However, the situation in Turtle City has been completely different in recent times.

Due to the fact that the Northwest Territory near Turtle City has all fallen to the Beast Spirit Clan, the Imperial players who used to be able to travel between Turtle City and the Empire easily by land transportation have now almost lost the channel to travel between Turtle City and the Empire's territory safely. On the contrary, due to the turmoil in the inland sea, the sea passage from the southern continent to Turtle City has become unimpeded again, and the recent Turtle City has a majority of free Federation players, and the activities of Federation players like Rococo have become much easier and easier.

After two days, according to the notes obtained from the descendants of the Yang Yan Master, the Rococo and the others basically brushed up all the materials needed to repair the Yang Yan Gem that recorded the inheritance of the Yang Yan Spell around Turtle City, but only 5 True Red Crystals were left unavailable.

Precious materials such as this one, which are tied to artifacts and quasi-artifacts in the late game, are almost always in short supply in the game, and although the glitter bubbles have been sold in the in-game system trading house for a high price, only two have been acquired in two days.

After all, the difficulty of getting a true red crystal is too high for players who are basically only level 60 now, and those big guilds and professional merchants in the game who finally have a little real red crystal in their hands are more savvy than one and know very well that this thing will become more and more valuable as the game progresses, and may even have no price, so it will not be easily sold at all, so the flash bubble is like this, and for the first time in the game, I tasted what is called "money can't buy" feeling.

In fact, if you have to talk about it, because the five true red crystals were the amount of Yang Yan gems used by the first generation of Yang Yan masters at that time, and they were just repairing, two real red crystals plus some fire element crystals were actually basically enough to complete the repair operation almost perfectly, but unfortunately this flash bubble may be stimulated by the realization that "there are still things in the game that can't be solved with a little money", but it is still more real than this real red crystal, and it is necessary to save five to be satisfied.

In her words, since this thing is related to the quality of obtaining inheritance, even if she can't get the S-level inheritance, at least she has to be the best in the A-level!

Fortunately, for the willfulness of the little princess of Flash Bubbles, the other friends are tolerant enough, after all, Rococo has not revealed to them before that there is still a main plot waiting for them to trigger the strange domain of the Southern Continent, so in everyone's opinion, anyway, they are all looking for a place to farm monsters and level up, and it is not good to accompany the little sister in the team to satisfy her wishes.

So, the group left Turtle City and embarked on a journey north to the Desperate Desert - according to the omnipotent and omniscient Captain Rococo, she knew that there was a special desert plant growing in the Desperate Desert, which had the ability to purify the fire element and store it in the fruit, and its fruit purified the fire element more efficiently than ordinary fire element crystals, which was one of the fastest and most effective ways to refine true red crystals.

Turtle City was not far from the Desperate Desert, and after spending two or three hours on the road, the group soon arrived at a post town at the entrance to the desert on the southern side of the Desperate Desert.

After hiring a small team of desert-specific mount monsters named Maromon that resemble a combination of camels and horses, as well as NPC guides, the group did not delay and started this desperate desert journey very neatly.

The desperate desert, the danger of this place, can be slightly seen from the name.

In fact, from the perspective of geographical location, the desperate desert is not really a "desperate situation" at all, but rather that as a continental border corridor between the northern continent and the eastern continent, the transportation here should have been very developed. There are many reasons why the border area of the northeastern continent, which was supposed to be an important place for land transportation, has become a "desperate situation", and the first of them is naturally the daunting vast desert terrain.

Whether it is on the earth where science and civilization are developed or in the "game", which is full of magic and martial arts, the progress of civilization of individual life races is certainly allowing them to take more initiative in the face of nature, but there is no doubt that when facing an environment like a desert full of nature's malice towards ordinary life individuals, neither science nor magic can make such a place also be transformed into a land suitable for life to live in- At least neither the current Earth nor the civilizations possessed on the continent of Emissia can do this.

Due to the existence of this great desert that seems to have been disliked by the goddess Arya who created the world, so it has not been blessed much, since the creation of the Ethemia continent since the creation of the continent, the land communication between the northern continent and the eastern continent is far less easy than that between the eastern continent and the southern continent. But then again, just as even if the empire and the federation are in the midst of a national war now, there are still merchants from the two countries who take risks to smuggle in the border area of the southeast continent for the sake of interests, the traffic between the north continent and the east continent is very difficult, but the interests behind this communication line are also more heavy, therefore, in the early days of genesis, when the chaos was still dormant, although it was not as prosperous as the border of the southeast continent, there were a lot of caravans walking on the desert of the northeast border, which was quite a different world version." Silk Road".

It's just that the good times didn't last long, with the unexpected fall of the goddess Arya, the chaos plague completely broke out on the northern continent, and finally quickly infected and fell to the entire northern continent before the order creatures didn't really realize their destructiveness, and this originally very difficult desert trade route was naturally cut off, and because of the full-scale outbreak of the creation war, it became the main battlefield of the two camps of chaos and order on land, that is, during this period, the name of "desperate desert" began to become loud on the continent.

Due to the harsh environment of the desert, it is very difficult and dangerous to cross this desert to attack the enemy or directly fight the enemy on this desert, especially when it comes to fighting across the desert, because the supply and reinforcements are unsustainable, and it can be said that there are almost no successful examples of either the chaos or order camps.

At the beginning and end of the Creation War, the chaos army was blocked by the desert because of the back road, and there were many examples of being surrounded and annihilated by the order coalition forces in the eastern continent when retreating, and there were many super chaos lords who were famous for invading the northern continent when they were killed and purified on the east side of the desperate desert, and the most tragic tragedy brewed by the order side because of the environment of the desperate desert was that when the war was on the west side of the desperate desert, the god of war was unrecoverable when the war failed, in order to give the large army time and opportunity to safely cross the dangerous desert. In the end, it was mired in chaos and was infected and degenerate.

Desperate Desert, the so-called "desperate situation" definitely refers to not just the desert, but also means that whether you are from the chaos of the Northern Continent or the order of life from the Eastern Continent, the closer you get to the other side of the desert, the more you will fall into the real dilemma of being unaccompanied in front and full of enemies in the rear, but it is difficult to retreat.

Now, hundreds of years have passed since the end of the Creation War, and the Desperate Desert, as the land zone of order closest to the Chaos North Continent on the continent today, is known as the three frontlines of chaos in the confrontation of order, along with the Misty Sea in the west and the Storm Inland Sea in the middle. And the creatures of order who are stationed here all year round to fight against the chaos that crosses the border from time to time to harass and tempt are the most mysterious race of the five creation races - the elemental race.

Speaking of which, this also seems to be a kind of inevitability, such as a desperate desert, whether it is the human race, the beast spirit race or the elf race, because basic survival will become a big problem, it is naturally impossible to live all year round, the dragon clan has the ability to survive here, but the scarce number and arrogant personality are destined to make the dragon clan not suitable for this kind of role in guarding the border, even the goblins who are nicknamed "the sixth hidden race behind the five clans of creation", although because the essence is the soul body life, they can cruise on the desert all year round without eating or drinking, but their ontological plants are obviously not.

Only the elemental race, which is the life of the energy body, does not have to worry about the survival problem in the desert because of the similar physical characteristics of the elves, and at the same time, there is no drag such as the main plant to move freely, and on this desperate desert, the elemental life has become the master.

In the hundreds of years since the end of the Creation War, the elemental life rooted in the desperate desert has indeed fulfilled its task as a "border guardian" very well. While it can't be said that all Chaos creatures that try to cross the border are killed 100%, at least those Chaos creatures that are enough to pose a great threat in the heart of order have not escaped a single time. Because of this, among NPCs and players, there have always been rumors that the legendary mysterious elemental ancestor is likely to sit in seclusion in the desperate desert, otherwise it would be impossible for the Chaos side to make no big moves in this area of the desperate desert for hundreds of years.

Because the news of the split of the Elemental Ancestor is too big and too secretive, no player can know the details of it in either the past life or the present life, so there is a saying that the Elemental Ancestor actually lives in seclusion in the Desperate Desert is also very marketable, and after the level of the players in the previous life has roughly reached the level of being able to explore the Desperate Desert, a considerable number of players go deep into the Desperate Desert and want to find the legendary Elemental Ancestor who stands at the apex of the order camp, Get some special benefits from him or claim Super Legendary Quests that will take you to the sky.

In today's games, because players have generally not reached that level of strength, such a trend has not yet risen, so in today's desperate desert, there are not many players who have abandoned those inland monsters and come all the way to adventure in places where it is more convenient to farm monsters and return to the city. Because of this, following the NPC guide into the desperate desert, after the initial novelty passed, the loneliness that was difficult to experience in the inland began to hit the Rococo and the group.

In the endless sea of golden sand, only they walked alone, only the sound of the wind blowing through the fine sand and the bell ringing on the neck of the Maro beast that carried them forward, it seemed to be quite poetic and romantic, but in fact, it was not like that at all, if it were not for the teammates around them, the loneliness and loneliness even if they knew in their hearts that this was just a scene in the game, but people couldn't help but feel a little tired and bored.

However, this feeling quickly dissipated in the successive encounters of them being attacked by earth elemental creatures hidden in the wind and sand.
