Chapter Seventy-Eight: Arriving in the Wasteland
For the rest of the day, I went to class every day to learn some knowledge that I had not been exposed to before.
Although he didn't have time to go out to kill monsters and level up, Su Xiu was not angry, but took the opportunity to learn about the world through books, which was regarded as a holiday for himself.
Soon, it was time for the camp to start.
The night before, a message was received from all those who qualified to participate.
Early the next morning, the group gathered at the school gate to prepare for the wasteland.
This time it was the principal who led the team, and in addition to the principal, there were several school tutors who escorted the team.
Under the leadership of the principal, everyone left the school and traveled all the way to the west.
Finally, the crowd stopped in front of a tall stone gate, which was flanked by a three-zhang high city wall, which was connected to the mountains on both sides, and the stone gate was guarded by guards.
The headmaster gave his identification badge to the guards for inspection, and everyone followed the headmaster through the stone gate.
What catches your eye is a huge valley with towering peaks on both sides, and the entire valley floor is covered with tiles with quaint patterns.
For this scene, everyone is very curious, and Su Xiu is no exception.
As you go inside, the valley gets narrower and narrower.
Finally, it came to an end.
A round boulder, half a meter above the ground, the boulder is full of patterns, and the patterns are mysterious; On the mountain wall behind, all kinds of quaint patterns are everywhere.
"Teleportation array?" Someone was surprised to speak.
"That's right, this is the teleportation array." The headmaster nodded and smiled.
Su Xiu was stunned, there was a teleportation array here, which was really a bit unexpected for him.
"I've read books in the library, it's something created by the spatial ability boss, and it takes a lot of energy to drive." There are obviously knowledgeable people in the crowd, and they will directly give everyone popular science.
Hearing this, Su Xiu nodded, there are energy cannons, and there is nothing impossible for the teleportation array to appear.
Under the guidance of the principal, everyone quickly stepped onto the circular stone platform.
When everyone stood firm, a white light shot out from the gap between the stone platform and the ground, and it rose to the sky.
Immediately after, Su Xiu only felt that everything had become nothing, and he could only see the people around him, and everything else had become nothing.
The sight returned to normal again, and Su Xiu found that he was no longer in the valley.
Although it still stands on a similar round boulder, the surrounding environment has changed.
When I looked up, I saw a layer of transparent glass in the sky, which seemed to be an isolation cover.
Everyone looked at their surroundings curiously, all of which were strange but curious.
"I believe everyone has seen that we have a protective cover above our heads, and the whole city here is shrouded in it, and only in this is it safe, and no one dares to guarantee it when we go out." The headmaster explained.
Then, he quickly left the teleportation array with everyone.
Along the way, there are not a few people who are in a hurry.
Su Xiu could feel that almost everyone here was strong, very strong.
You don't even need to scan them with the eyes of an observer to feel the aura emanating from them.
"Many of them are wasteland hunters, and some are scavengers."
The headmaster said as he led the group to a stop in front of a building.
Mission Hall, which is the name of the building's signboard.
"This is the quest lobby, where hunters will pick up quests, and of course you can post quests, as long as you can pay them." The headmaster explained, and took the lead and walked in.
Entering the mission hall, Su Xiu felt that it was very lively here, some shouted loudly to form a team, some complained about the loss of this order, and some showed off the harvest.
The huge quest hall is covered with illustrated books of various monsters, and the monsters on it are all variants of land creatures and sea creatures, including a tiger with a shark's head, called a shark tiger; There are also dinosaurs with crocodile beaks, called crocodiles; There is also an electric eel with a rhinoceros head, called an electric rhinoceros.
All kinds of strange creatures beyond everyone's understanding appear here.
In addition to this, there is also a brief introduction to the wasteland.
After turning around, Su Xiu finally knew that the so-called wasteland was formed after the evaporation of seawater.
What makes Su Xiu more helpless is that the monsters here only have experience and do not fall.
Thankfully, their body parts can be used, and at the very least, the meat on their bodies can be eaten.
All the meat in the world outside the wasteland is obtained in the wasteland, after all, although the meteorite beasts in the outside world have fallen, their corpses cannot be used.
The monsters in this are called mutant brutes.
Mutant brute beasts are a magical species, in addition to their strange appearance, their bones, flesh, blood, and skin have great value, or to make medicine, or to eat, or to make equipment, clothes, and so on.
It is precisely because these mutant brute beasts have such and such functions that major organizations have set up strongholds here to facilitate the hunting of mutant brute beasts, and these people are called hunters.
And those small organizations that don't have much strength will not give up, they will hire desperate ordinary people to scavenge waste, and there are waste pickers.
Compared to hunters, they can rely on their own strength to go deep into the wasteland and hunt mutant brute beasts, and scavengers who have little strength can only pick up leaks on the periphery, and the ugly thing is to pick up the rags, and they pick them up if they don't want them.
"Well, I guess everyone knows a little bit about the wasteland." The headmaster clapped his hands and spoke to attract everyone's attention.
Everyone nodded, and through the information on the wall and their own speculations, they were already full of curiosity about this wasteland.
"I know you're all curious about this place right now, but I'm going to say that the next thing you're going to do is scavenge!" The headmaster smiled and spoke.
Sure enough, as soon as the principal's words fell, everyone was not happy.
In their opinion, scavengers are scavengers, they are all chosen children, and it is not too much to be a hunter, right?
For everyone's expressions, the principal saw it.
He has seen this situation a lot.
"You may think that being a scavenger is easy, and you can't even look down on picking up rags, but I want to remind you that picking up rags is also a skill, and you can't even be a scavenger if you don't know how to avoid the territory of mutant brutes and how to avoid the pursuit of mutant brutes."
"And what you don't know is that once you go deep into the wasteland, an ordinary mutant brute beast has the strength of a deterrent-level demon beast, and that is not something you can deal with at all."
As soon as the principal's words fell, everyone's faces changed, and ordinary monsters have the strength of a deterrent-level boss!
Is this so difficult?
Originally, some people who wanted to enter the wasteland to break through were directly coaxed, where is this to go in and break in, this is to send them to death.
"The reason why I let you scavenge and pick up rags is just to let you learn the means to survive in the wasteland, because soul refining can only be carried out in the wasteland." This time, everyone understood.
They came here not to hunt mutant brute beasts, but to experience, to refine souls, to master the introductory skills of soul refining as soon as possible, and the rest was just incidental.
