Chapter 24: The Salt Sludge Swamp (2)
Yang Zhenzhen turned around and asked strangely, "What's wrong?"
Lin explained: "Unfortunately, I made an appointment with a few friends to go on an expedition and couldn't participate in your activities. β
Yang Zhenzhen frowned and said, "How long have you been in the Origin Realm, and you have friends? β
Lin raised his eyebrows: "At least more reliable than your federation leaderβdon't you think that your president Aubrey Fleischer doesn't welcome me? Why do I have to go up and hug your president's thigh?"
Yang Zhenzhen sighed: "I also know that Aubrey guy is very powerful, but he has someone to support him, and he himself is also very capable, and the federation leader is doing something that people can't fault with it." After a pause, Yang Zhenzhen said: "It's a pity that you don't go, this time it's to go to the salt mud swamp, it is said that a treasure was found inside, and the opportunity is rare." β
Lin's eyes lit up, and he said, "Go to the salt mud swamp? My friends and I also went there for adventures." β
Yang Zhenzhen said: "It's a dangerous area, and there is no way to compare it with a rookie paradise." How strong is your friend and can he keep you safe?"
Lin smiled and said, "It's average, it's better than me anyway." β
Yang Zhenzhen didn't ask in detail, she felt that Lin had just arrived, and the people she knew must be psychic rookies, so she instructed: "If you don't go to the federation to do activities together, forget it, anyway, you will go to the salt mud swamp, and the teams will not be too far apart." When in danger, come to us. β
Lin smiled, he was still very touched by Yang Zhen's genuine concern.
After the two separated, Lin washed his face and returned to the temple hall to complete the commission he had received.
Didi, the communicator rang. Lin picked it up and saw that it was sent by Universe Xiaozhi, and it was the coordinates of the agreed location.
Lin replied with a "coming soon", and then hurried over.
After the meeting, Lin asked in the first sentence: "Are there many teams going to the salt mud swamp?"
The tall and thin Universe Ash said, "Yes, I heard that the ancient ruins have been found in the swamp this time, and the Origin Realm is about to boil, and several large teams have gone on an expedition." β
The ruins are generally linked to powerful life spirits, sophisticated instrument spirits, as well as precious elixirs and cards, and it is no wonder that the psychics of the Origin Realm have poured in like butterflies that smell the fragrance of flowers.
Lin smiled and said: "I see, how did this news leak out, the person who discovered the ruins should make a fortune in silence." β
Cosmic Ash said: "At that time, there were four teams that discovered the ruins, from different temple areas, and it was difficult to keep the news secret. In addition, the guardian monsters of the ruins are quite strong, and the discoverer is not capable of swallowing the treasure alone. β
The baking soda on the side added: "Yes, just a little way through the entrance, a group of constructive puppets appeared one after another, all of them are high-level phantom spirits. I heard that the four teams that discovered the ruins at that time suffered more than half of the casualties, and only a few escaped. β
Lin couldn't help but speak: "Good guy, the periphery is full of phantom high-level, how strong will the monsters inside the ruins be?"
The young genius with glasses helped his glasses and said, "True Spirit High Level, this is the most optimistic guess. Truth be told, I'm not surprised if a Heroic Spirit appears. β
Big Bear prefers to contradict the genius, saying: "The environment of the Origin Realm is not suitable for the existence of heroic spirits, little four-eyed, you think too much this time." β
The genius looked too lazy to explain to Da Xiong, but he still said slowly: "It's not suitable, it doesn't mean that there is no ...... As far as I know, there are at least three places in the Origin Realm where Heroic Spirits exist. β
"Three mysterious places. "Lin has read the "Geography of the Kingdom of God" and knows these three places of the Origin Realm very well.
Da Xiong looked dazed: "The three mysterious places, why haven't I heard of them?"
The genius glasses boy mocked mercilessly: "How many books have you read? In your impression, there are only four areas in the Origin Realm: Rookie Paradise, Heavenly Road Plateau, Refuge Valley, and Dust and Swamp, right?"
Big Bear's bronzed face was slightly red, but fortunately it couldn't be seen. Bickering, he has never been a match for genius.
"Give me enough to stop," Universe Ash stood up to stop: "Don't let Master Kobayashi see the joke." β
"Let's go," Baking Soda, who had recently engraved the Blood Slave of the Fallen Destiny, said with some impatience, "A lot of teams are leaving." β
Lin Ben thought it would be a long journey, after all, the salt mud marshes were hundreds of miles away from Hejonisberg. But a large life spirit summoned by Ash of the Universe made him feel at ease.
It was a very long zebra-like monster, six meters long and two meters wide, with eight legs and black and white stripes.
"Striding zebra," Lin was a little surprised: "It's actually the best mount ridden by many people, and the captain is really powerful." β
Cosmic Ash is a little proud, and it is indeed not easy to impress Lin, an orthodox spirit possessor: "Where, brothers, get on the horse." β
A group of mermaids climbed onto the horses, and the wide bodies of the horses did not feel crowded, and they could even lie down comfortably to sleep.
"Let's go!" Following the order of Cosmic Ash, the striding zebra's eight legs moved rapidly, and each step was close to a distance of ten meters, and the speed was still increasing.
Feeling the whirring wind, Lin sat cross-legged on the horse's back and sighed: "It's good to still have a mount, but it's a pity that there is no mount order in the temple commission area at all." β
Baking soda said: "Generally, psychics capture mount spirits, and they use them for their own use, or they give them to friends, and they rarely entrust an auction in the temple." β
Big Bear laughed and said, "Brother Zhi's big zebra was also caught by shit luck." At that time, we met a large herd of zebras, and the eyes were green, but no one dared to go up on them. In the end, it was Brother Zhi who managed to draw out one of them, and it took a lot of effort to capture it. β
Lin nodded: "It's really good luck, but it's not easy to catch it." β
Striding zebras as auxiliary life spirits, one or two lone ones do not have any combat effectiveness, but if it is a large group of hundreds or thousands of heads, it is an existence that even the spirit messenger does not dare to provoke, otherwise the overwhelming horse's hooves will make the psychic understand what is called a group charge and why the flowers are so red.
Compared to the Cosmic Squad, the mounts of other teams are not so stylish. The striding zebra roared and swayed smoke and dust all the way, and Lin looked at the scene that was rapidly retreating on both sides, and from time to time he saw a team of psychics riding various and varied mounts.
"There are really turtle riders!" Lin had good eyesight, and he couldn't help but be happy when he saw a psychic who was riding a turtle slowly. In fact, he knew that kind of tortoise, called the retrograde tortoise, crawled backwards much faster than it could forward, but the tortoise was a tortoise after all, and the fastest retrograde tortoise could not match the walking speed of a psychic.
"Yes, there are a lot of psychics who don't have mounts, and in order to fulfill a dream of a mount, they go to find some messy and useless life spirit rides. The turtle rider was fine, and once I met a toad rider. Cosmic Ash replied.
"Toad? The speed of toad-like life spirits should be acceptable. Lin thought of the speed of the toad's jump and said casually.
The big toad I saw jumped ten times, but it didn't go far, but it threw the psychic down seven or eight times. Cosmic Ash laughed and was overjoyed.
Black lines emerge from the top of the forest.
After about an hour of walking, the surrounding environment gradually changed, the tall trees became more and more thin, the low bushes increased, and large moss could be seen everywhere. The speed of the striding zebra also slowed down, because with each step, the wet ground had to sink a piece, and it was much more difficult to move.
"It's almost there," Universe Ash said, observing the surroundings, "Let's go, go to the designated place to meet." β
"Assemble, and whom?" Lin asked.
"Our large army of Hewronisburg," Universe Ash explained, "this is a joint operation in the five major temple areas, and the masters of the Naraku, Kod Town, Alona Forest, and Flann Regions are all participating in a group. We also need to join forces, otherwise we will suffer if we are scattered. β
Lin nodded in understanding, and then Cosmic Ash commanded the striding zebra to the meeting place.
The meeting point is a higher hill with low shrubs on the moist ground, with a few stunted and premature dwarf trees growing here and there.
"Wait for me here, I'll meet them. In the bustling crowd of psychics below the hills, Universe Ash put away the striding zebra and pointed to the dozen or so people on the high part of the hills.
Lin looked up, and the dozen or so people were all dressed in fluttering clothes, and they had the momentum of psychic masters.
"They are the leaders of more than a dozen teams, and Brother Zhi used to discuss with them how to act. The genius lifted his glasses and tugged at the corner of Lin's clothes: "They are all guys with eyes above the top, Brother Xiaolin has no benefit in the past." β
Lin laughed dumbly, speaking of the guy with eyes above the top, the stinky little boy with glasses in front of him must be the best.
Lin casually asked, "We're just a small team, and those big team leaders are willing to sit on an equal footing with Ash?" he felt a little incredulous.
Big Bear said proudly: "Of course, we are an elite team, and we have been in the Valley of Refuge for a long time, and one-tenth of the phantoms who have placed orders in the commission area have been captured by us. Those so-called large teams, no matter how large the number of people are, it is useless. β
Lin asked, "Nandu Academy Psychic Association, have you heard of it?"
Baking Soda took over: "It sounds like a student organization, so it should be a member of the 'Psychic Academy Alliance'." β
The genius nodded: "In the student union, there is a group of second ancestors who don't know the difficulties of life, they are stupid and have a lot of money, they are qualified big bosses, but they are not qualified adventurers." β
Hearing the genius's old-fashioned speech, Lin was a little speechless, this little boy looked like he was about thirteen or fourteen years old, and he was actually such a stinky fart, and his tone of voice seemed to be thirty or forty years old.
Da Xiong and a few of them talked about the Psychic Academy Alliance, and Lin had a clear understanding of Yang Zhenzhen's Federation.
The Psychic College Alliance, or Student Federation for short, is a student union organization of more than a dozen aristocratic colleges. Aubrey Fleischer is the head of one of the colleges, the chapter president.
The students of the Noble Academy have unique conditions, they don't have to run around for the dream particles, for the right to live in the kingdom of God, and they don't have to worry about their future livelihood. After graduation, the best of them go to play in professional leagues, and poor students can also get a teaching position in a second-rate college.
In comparison, ordinary people such as the Cosmic Squad are much more difficult, and the threshold for entering professional clubs is very high. Forced to do so, they may go to serve the big conglomerates and become the thugs raised by the conglomerates, or join the underground psychic world and play in the dangerous underground professional league.
This has created a strange phenomenon, ordinary psychics look down on the young master soldiers of the noble academy, but they have to trade with these big bosses with a lot of money, and sell the life spirits they have worked so hard to capture to earn dream particles.
