Chapter 180: Preparing for a Long Journey
Time flies, and before you know it, more than two months have passed since the end of the world.
During this period, two full months after the outbreak of the end times, the Blood Moon Phantom reappeared, and this time although people were not as panicked as last time, the atmosphere still became solemn.
At the same time as the Blood Moon appeared, the undead attacked the city again, this time the intensity of the siege was not large, but some players who did not have time to return to the town were still in despair and were swallowed by the sea of the undead.
During this period, the other two beginner-level dungeons, the Underground Ruins and the Canyon of the Dead, also successfully won the world first pass of the purgatory-level, and with the last strength of the Canyon of the Dead, which had reached the pseudo-lord boss in the early stage of Jueyi, Ye Xuan finally broke through to an awakening-level player.
This is also the first awakening player to appear in the entire shelter town!
"Brother Xuan, do you really plan to pass through the inter-regional barrier?"
In the conference room, Zhou Ping asked in shock as he propped up the table with both hands on the table.
"No! Regional barrier awakening level monsters are everywhere, I don't know what to encounter, you used to be looking for death! Gu Mengqi pursed her lips.
In addition to Gu Mengqi and Zhou Ping, other people in the upper echelons of the Battle Blade Regiment were also present, and their eyes were all shocked, looking at Ye Xuan.
The dangers of the regional barrier were not all heard of by them, and some of them had experienced it firsthand.
Players have always had the idea of traveling to other areas, and this has only intensified after learning about other sheltered towns on the forums.
Without exception, players who tried to traverse the area returned to Sanctuary after several days of absence.
Gradually, rumors began to spread about the dangers between the two different areas in the sheltered town.
The top masters of the Warblade Regiment are far from being comparable to ordinary players, and they have also tried, compared to those ordinary players. Someone present went further away.
After going some distance, they were shocked to find that the earth's topography had begun to change, and the sudden appearance of high mountains and bottomless cliffs made it even more difficult to cross this barrier.
Even. Some people found that they had traveled a considerable distance, and according to the comparison on the map, they should have come to another area, but in fact, they did not even touch the boundary of the area, which made them even more frightened, which was clearly the area of the earth gradually expanding!
At first, they only tried a little, and the main purpose was to find out the situation, and they had already encountered a lot of dangers. As for Ye Xuan, he really planned to pass through this barrier, and the danger in it could not be compared at all.
Ye Xuan knew more about the dangers between regions than others, and he also knew that others cared about him, and his heart was warm.
But this plan was already thought of by myself. Nor will it change, "Don't worry. I'll do what I can, and if I can't do it, I'll give up. ”
Although Ye Xuan said this, the others were still worried, if they really encountered any mortal danger, would they have time to retreat!
"I disagree. You're the leader of the Warblade Regiment, how can you leave the Battleband! Gu Mengqi bit her lip tightly, wanting to make a final attempt to persuade Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan shook his head, "You have handled the affairs of the battle group very well. It's the same situation in my absence, and now, the Warblade Regiment is the number one force in the shelter town, and with you in charge, I can deal with emergencies, so I can spare my hands to do some other things...... And if I prove that the zone barrier can be crossed, that's a good thing for humanity as well. ”
The idea of going to other sheltered towns has been born since the last life, in order to meet his relatives.
Originally, Ye Xuan planned to make more preparations before starting this action, but another post that appeared on the national forum two days ago gave Ye Xuan a deep sense of urgency.
At this time in the last life, national-level posts had never appeared, but this time there were two in a row, one of which was an unknown player in a certain region, which proved that the trajectory of the world had gradually escaped Ye Xuan's control.
This post, without exception, once again communicated with players across the country, and it was also this post that shocked players across the country, because, in just one month, two sheltered towns across the country were breached one after another!
The intensity of the siege of monsters in many areas is not large, and the players were not too worried about it, but as soon as this news came out, a big stone was immediately pressed in their hearts.
Ye Xuan knew that the monster siege was not too high a few months before the end of the world, but there were special circumstances, just like the sheltered town where he was located, it was almost destroyed, which did not happen in the previous life.
Because of this, I am worried that there will be an accident in the sheltered town where my parents and sister are located, and if that happens, it is estimated that I will live in regret for the rest of my life.
Even if the town hadn't fallen, Ye Xuan was just as worried, worried about whether there would be an accident in their defense battle.
Setting off at this time, although the preparation is not very sufficient, the strength of the monsters on the regional border is definitely not as terrifying as it will be a few months later, and in general, it is not without hope at all.
Ye Xuan said it so resolutely, and others couldn't say it anymore.
There were also people who went with themselves, but they were rejected by Ye Xuan, after all, the others were still stuck at the peak of the primary level, and they didn't break through, and going with them didn't play any role at all.
After the meeting ended, the others dispersed, and Ye Xuan walked on the green lawn, perfecting his plan.
If you want to successfully break through to another area, what you need most is not the combat ability, but the ability to save your life, or the ability to escape, and among Ye Xuan's own skills, there are phantom steps and flashes to escape, and there are mirror clones to save lives.
Among them, the phantom step has broken through the skill limit and learned to outline the skill runes by itself, at this time, Ye Xuan's phantom step has reached the point where his heart moves at will, he can accelerate at any time if he wants to accelerate, and he can disperse the skill at any time, which means that Ye Xuan's speed can still be maintained in a very terrifying situation in the case of a long battle.
But if the mirror clone and the flash want to break through, it is really difficult, these two skills Ye Xuan has practiced countless times every day, but these two are medium-special skills, if you want to improve your proficiency, it is not a little more difficult than ordinary level skills, although you practice it from time to time. Now, he has just entered the mastery level.
These two skills are very important to him, once he loses them, Ye Xuan's own combat power will be greatly affected, unless he can get another copy of the same skill book. Only to this extent, Ye Xuan didn't dare to try it at will.
Although Ye Xuan also has people looking for skill books, special-level ones are rare, and it is even more difficult to want the same one, and after looking for such a long time, he has not found it at all.
Neither the skills nor the equipment could get any closer, Ye Xuan could only make plans on foreign objects, thinking. Out of the manor, walk towards the shopping street.
Coming to the NPC's grocery department, Ye Xuan found a few things that were not very useful on weekdays, but they were very helpful for this trip.
[Concealment Elixir (1st Order)]: Covers one's aura to a certain extent, duration: half an hour.
[Breath-holding potion (1st order)]: Can hold breath in water for an hour.
[Camouflage Potion (First Order)]: Makes your appearance similar to the environment to a certain extent, duration: half an hour.
[Hair of a Powerful Demon Beast]: This is a demon beast of the second order of awakening, and there is also this lord template, and the aura emanating from its hair. It's enough to make ordinary beasts retreat. (Note: Once the hair is exposed to the air for too long, its odor will gradually dissipate.) )
[Compass]: All the way to the north. It is not disturbed by magnetic fields, and it is a conscience prop of the upper layer of quality.
These potions are very suitable for this line, but it is a pity that the potion grade is low, and it can only exert half of the effect on Ye Xuan, who is already at the awakening level.
Also, I don't know if these agents are relatively rare or what. The grocery store didn't have much stock, and after buying them all, there were only a dozen bottles of each drug. If it weren't for Ye Xuan's own lack of prescriptions, he would have planned to make his own medicine.
As for the monster hair, it is packed in a delicate wooden box. This wooden box can block the breath so that it does not leak out, when Ye Xuan uses it, he can directly open the wooden box, these demon beast breath, it is very difficult for players to feel, but the alien beast is very sensitive, this should be due to the awe of the lower creatures before the end of the world for the higher creatures.
In addition to these, Ye Xuan also prepared some things himself, the most precious of which was the luxury space tent that was exchanged for 200,000 points after the war.
The tent doesn't look big from the outside, but it has 300 square meters of space inside, and it's not much better than the presidential suite.
But this is not the reason why Ye Xuan spent so many points to buy, although he likes it as much as Ye Xuan, but he will not squander the precious points, this space tent is so precious, it is because of the hidden breath formation engraved on it, which is very high-level, and its appearance also has a camouflage effect, it can be said that as long as Ye Xuan enters it, he can rest at ease, and there is no need to be afraid of a possible attack.
Suddenly, Ye Xuan found a familiar figure in the distance running quickly, and before the person arrived, the voice arrived first, "Ah Xuan, hahaha, I found the skill book you have been looking for." ”
This person is a fat man, and the fat flesh trembled up and down all his life during the running, and at this time, the fat man only had the strength of the middle stage of the first and middle ranks, and in order to deal with the affairs of the war group, he didn't even have much time to level up.
Ye Xuan felt a little guilty about this, and also asked the fat man to promote more players and give himself some time to level up, but he didn't want the fat man to enjoy himself at all, if he let him go out hunting, he wouldn't want to.
The fat man finally ran in front of Ye Xuan, and he didn't know how to run, he even gasped twice, and then said, "I...... I've discovered the Flash's skill book. ”
"Flash, where!" Ye Xuan was pleasantly surprised, he didn't expect to find such a precious skill book.
"In the bookstore, the boss happened to buy the goods, and I saw it, of course, I had already bought it." Jiang Fatzi took out a small book from the storage space and said.
It turned out that after the meeting was broken up just now, Jiang Fatzi was also very worried, so he planned to go to the commercial street to find out what good things were there, and he happened to find that special-level skill book, and there were many players in the bookstore at that time, but the fat man was quick to buy this skill book from many competitors.
What the fat man didn't say was that if it weren't for the inability to fight in the shelter town, it was estimated that he would have been chopped into pieces of meat by the red-eyed players.
After getting the skill book, Ye Xuan returned to the manor and walked into the underground practice room.
This underground practice room, which can only be owned by villas or manors, has the effect of not only being impregnable on the four walls, but more importantly, it is possible to use skills in the sheltered town without being affected by the Great Formation.
Wanting to break through the boundaries of skills, Ye Xuan came here by himself.
The skill book is included in the storage ring, and if you can break through it once and don't need to use it, it is naturally the best, and this precious skill can be left for other players.
Ye Xuan sat cross-legged on the ground, closed his eyes to find the state, and after a while, his eyes suddenly opened and he stood up suddenly.
First, he used the flashing skill to turn into smoke, and this time the smoke was scattered in the air, and after a full three seconds, it condensed again, revealing Ye Xuan's figure.
For the first time, Ye Xuan did not immediately break the skill rune, but used it first, familiarized himself with the skill, and came over for seven or eight minutes, the skill cooldown time finally passed, Ye Xuan's eyes released a fine light, and the mind used the skill, the rune ...... Start sketching it out one stroke at a time!
When the rune outlined four-fifths, Ye Xuan violently controlled the Yuan Force and converged towards the skill rune, and the Yuan Force turned into a finger in his body and pointed at the skill rune frame.
With a bang, the skill rune was broken, and with the experience of the last time, when Ye Xuan broke the frame, he had already tried not to affect the trajectory of the skill.
After a while, Ye Xuan's whole person exploded, turned into smoke, and then instantly condensed and formed.
After appearing, Ye Xuan closed his eyes tightly, slowly comprehended, and after a while, he began to outline the skill runes in his body.
The last stroke hooks! Ye Xuan's figure became a little sluggish, and it seemed that it would dissipate at any time, but ...... In a matter of seconds, the figure becomes real.
Ye Xuan frowned, and tried a few more times in a row, but the delineation effect of the skill runes was even worse these times, and as for the figure, it stayed in place all the time, never moving for half a minute!
failed, although he had been prepared, Ye Xuan was still a little disappointed in his heart.
Immediately, he took out the skill book in the storage space, his eyes became firm again, his hands clapped, the skill book turned into light, and he escaped into the center of his eyebrows, and the familiar flow of information crossed his mind again.
He had never used the same skill book for the second time, and Ye Xuan found that the process of injecting information flow could also be perceived.
After a while, the continuous concentration had made beads of sweat begin to appear on his forehead, but the corners of Ye Xuan's mouth gradually hooked, after relearning the skill, he found that the proficiency of the skill had gone from the original beginning to the control level, to the current peak of the control level, just a little bit, he could break through to the state of complete control!
Ye Xuan smiled, the skill runes were outlined again, and the Yuan Force gathered again, taking advantage of this time, to make a second attempt!
