Chapter 31: Into the Dark World
The Dark World Passage of the Martial Arts Hall is open all year round, and to enter the Dark World, you need to pay a sum of points.
However, the points are a bit expensive, five thousand per person.
Five thousand points, it is unlikely that a silver war spirit will earn five thousand points in a month. Therefore, most bronze war spirits can only enter the dark world once a year.
This is also the fundamental reason why the War Spirit Family has been stable for thousands of years.
It's not that the federal government is unwilling to lower prices, it's really that the maintenance, opening and closing of the dark world channel requires too much investment.
Zhang Xun paid the money, and the pride of spending money made the little girl frequently flatter the fat man.
Even at the risk of being crushed to death.
The digital chip is the only way to enter the dark world, and by inserting the chip into the Spirit Bracelet, you can safely enter and exit the portal.
Under the leadership of Qin Xue, the three of them stepped into the dark world passage one after another.
The field of vision in front of me has changed.
The three of them appeared in a commercial plaza in a burst of white light.
Although it is a commercial plaza, there are no store fronts.
All the buildings that appear in the dark world with traces of humanity are basically useless.
It's like a phone that can't be dialed, a ship in the desert, a factory that loops endlessly. This commercial plaza is just a special scene.
Because the scene is intimate, it serves as a transit point for the war spirits to enter and exit.
The commercial plaza is densely packed with people coming and going.
Although human civilization is distributed in twelve galaxies, war spirits will appear in the common dark world.
Qin Lan looked at the people around him curiously, like a child entering a big city for the first time. I have been exposed to it since I was a child, but the real experience is the first time.
A lot of black iron, bronze, and even silver war spirits appeared and hurried to the edge of another teleportation node, and then disappeared in a burst of white light.
The people who stayed in the square and looked left and right were almost all new war spirits like Qin Lan.
"Qin Lan, Zhang Xun!" Qin Xue patted the two of them with a smile, "Our mission this time is to let your phantom beast evolve to the growth stage before going out." β
"With Sister Xue here, it is naturally light. β
"That's not what I said, my mission is to escort you, not to be a thug for you, and you still have to kill the phantom beast yourself. Otherwise, I don't need to bring you to the dark world, wouldn't it be good to buy spars directly with the points from entering the dark world. β
"Yes, is there a difference?" Zhang Xun asked curiously.
"Of course, why do we call war spirits war spirits? The creatures born for battle are war spirits. In addition to making the phantom beast stronger and evolving, what we really have to learn is how to fight.
So, learning to fight is your first lesson."
"Yes, we all listen to Sister Xue's arrangement. Qin Lan said obediently.
"Summon your phantom beasts first, when you get to the wild, there may be a sneak attack by phantom beasts at any time. It will be too late to summon by then. β
The rings of the two exploded in an instant, and in a burst of white light, two juvenile phantom beasts rushed out of the magic array and appeared beside their respective masters.
The colorful mice and the small birds covered in flames are quite ornamental.
"Qin Lan, you finally let me out, it's so boring in the phantom beast Lingjie, it's like closing a cage, suffocating to death. β
As soon as the flame bird appeared, it chirped and complained.
"I'll go, can I talk, is this a parrot?" Zhang Xun looked the flame bird up and down curiously.
"Stupid!"
The flame bird immediately gave Zhang Xun a look of contempt.
"There aren't many phantom beasts that can talk in their infancy, but it's not none. And generally such phantom beasts have a high degree of growth. β
"Or is this lady discerning, and we meet again, beautiful young lady! Why don't you see that stupid big man next to you?"
"I can speak, but I don't know how to speak. Qin Lan shrugged her shoulders.
"Sister Xue, is there a map here? or is it ...... Phantom beast distribution?"
"Yes! β
Sure enough, after the bracelet was opened, a map logo appeared, and after clicking on the logo, a white light shot out of the bracelet, and the white light turned into a map in the air.
Unfortunately, there are only red dots on the map to indicate the presence of wild phantom beasts, but it is unknown what kind of beasts they are.
"Let's go to this place first, the cliffs on both sides, tight inside and loose outside, even if you encounter danger, you can calmly retreat!"
Qin Lan pointed to a canyon and asked Zhang Xun.
"Seems good, safe geography. β
"But it's a stupid choice!" Qin Xue squinted and smiled.
"Why?"
"Because you can see this geographical advantage, others can also see it, you look at the war spirits around you, almost all of them go to that place, black iron, early stage. The valley is so big, a few phantom beasts are not enough for them to grab......"
"yes...... Qin Lan glanced at the map again, and suddenly pointed to a red area on the map and asked, "Sister Xue, what is the location here?"
"The red zone represents the unstable zone. The level of this area will change, for example, today it is the territory of the juvenile phantom beast, and tomorrow it may be the mature phantom beast. β
"Then there should be very few war spirits in the red area, right?"
"Brother Lan, you're crazy. Didn't you hear what Sister Xue said? The red area may be the territory of mature phantom beasts. β
"It's just possible, but it's not certain, besides, even if you meet us, don't you have Sister Xue......"
As she spoke, Qin Lan squeezed her eyebrows at Qin Xue.
"I'll only take action when you're really in danger, and under normal circumstances, I won't. β
In the end, Qin Lan still decided the direction.
It's not that Qin Lan is ignorant and fearless, but to satisfy the Flame Bird and Rodent Upgrade, the fastest way is to devour the Growth Stage Phantom Beast Crystal.
It's too dangerous to go deeper from the jump node. This dangerous place in the novice village seems to be just right.
The red area is a forest of stone pillars, and it is very weathered. In the normal world, it should not be possible to form such a regular and strange geographical environment.
Qin Xue silently stepped into the stone pillar forest with her arms crossed, and paused after walking more than a dozen steps.
"We're lucky, the red area is not occupied by powerful phantom beasts now, it's still in the juvenile stage, and some of them have growth stage phantom beasts. β
"Uh, Sister Xue, how do you know?"
Qin Lan asked curiously, because along the way, they didn't see any signs of phantom beast activity or trace of phantom beasts.
"Won't you read?"
Following the direction of Qin Xue's finger, Qin Lan and Zhang Xun stared at each other and didn't see it.
A flash of inspiration flashed in Qin Lan's mind, and he immediately summoned the system.
"System, scanβ"
Purple-blooded chameleon.
Juvenile reptilian phantom beasts.
Skills, discoloration hidden, tongue whip.
Weakness......
Character, cautious and timid.
During the scanning of the system, a brown stone in the field of vision emitted a glowing outline.
"I'll go, it's too well hidden, isn't it?Sister Xue, how did you find this thing?"
"It's a little trick I'm going to teach you.
The senses of our war spirits are more delicate and multi-layered, and the strength of our souls allows us to sense things that even precision instruments cannot.
Although this chameleon is hidden and invulnerable, it is hostile to us, so I sensed the energy fluctuations it emitted.
Give it a try!"
