Chapter 189: Strange Things: Bonfire
The deepest part of the ancient ruins.
The ten-meter-tall heaven-level monster slowly climbed up, and a terrifying aura was released from it, making the other monsters in the entire ancient ruins tremble.
But the strange thing is that the breath of this heaven-level monster seems to be unable to transmit the ancient ruins, and it is blocked by some kind of power.
Only players who enter the ancient ruins can sense it.
At this moment, all the players were running frantically, looking frightened one by one.
"There's a heaven-level monster here?"
"How is that possible? Why wasn't there any movement before? ”
"Run!"
Inside this ancient ruin, all the players were terrified and ran out desperately.
……
Through the balcony, Yang Yuan saw the heaven-level monster that was getting up, and shot an arrow again without hesitation.
Today, he is going to destroy the heavens!
At the beginning, in order to kill the heaven-level Drought Fish, he didn't know how much effort he had to make, and in the end, he just let the Fire Frisbee and the Drought Fish die together.
And now, he is no longer the same person he used to be.
Seeing the heaven-level monster in the center of the ancient ruins roaring, he directly shot an arrow again.
The sub-light arrow flashed away, and the heaven-level monster couldn't dodge it at all, and was instantly hit in the face.
I saw that the face of the heaven-level monster collapsed again, and its huge body flew backwards.
At the same time, a terrifying ripple shock wave visible to the naked eye swept out, frantically impacting the ancient ruins and buildings in all directions, and endless sand and dust were lifted into the sky, making the dust here obscure.
"Boom-"
The players who were fleeing towards the outside of the ancient ruins turned around one after another, and saw the terrifying shockwave sweeping in all directions.
"What kind of collision is this?"
"It's so far away that I feel depressed......"
"At least it's a heaven-level collision!"
"It's horrible!"
"Why are there heaven-level creatures in the fourth-order continent?!"
All players were shocked and puzzled.
You must know that this is only a fourth-order continent, and they have been venturing in this ancient ruin for a while, but they have not felt the existence of heaven-level creatures in the slightest before.
It wasn't until recently that everyone felt a tingling fluctuation.
But that time it disappeared in just a few seconds, and everyone thought it was a delusion, and they didn't know each other well, so they didn't communicate much.
Until this time, that breath appeared again, and even the roar of a heaven-level monster appeared.
Everyone suddenly discovered that there was really a heaven-level monster here.
"Could it be the monster suppressed in the ancient ruins before the world was reshaped?"
"It may be so, although the continent is now divided into ranks, the level of monsters in the ancient ruins has not changed......"
"It's scary, let's go, let's go, get out of here......"
Everyone did not dare to slack off, and rushed to escape from this ancient ruin.
……
The deepest part of the ancient ruins.
The heaven-level monster quickly got up, the wound on its collapsed face quickly recovered, and it completely recovered in less than a second, and an even more terrifying aura emanated.
……
Safe house on the balcony.
Yang Yuan looked at the monster that had returned to its original state in a blink of an eye, and took out a strange crossbow arrow with an expressionless face.
Although there are not many Strange Crossbow Arrows left, each one can cause massive damage.
Especially when paired with today's Golden Arm Crossbow.
Yang Yuan quickly loaded the strange crossbow arrow into the golden arm crossbow, aiming at the heaven-level monster in the deepest part of the ancient ruins.
An extremely strong sense of crisis appeared, and the heaven-level monster looked at this side suddenly, and a dazzling blue light bloomed on its body, forming an aura of energy covering a radius of 100 meters.
Is it the aura of resistance again?
Yang Yuan was unmoved, and fired the arrow directly.
In an instant, a streamer that made the space appear black flashed away.
The aura of resistance of that heavenly monster didn't do anything, and the streamer hit its head directly.
"Bang-"
The head of the heaven-level monster exploded in an instant, and then the streamer pierced the earth.
"Boom-"
A terrifying ripple swept in all directions with the deepest part of the ancient ruins as the core.
If someone is watching from the outside, they will find that the entire ancient ruins are like water waves, and a circle of ripples from the center of the ancient ruins is crazy outward, instantly sweeping thousands of kilometers.
"Boom—"
Many players who had just escaped the ancient ruins were swept away.
The entire area around the ancient ruins was plowed by a terrifying shock wave.
After the shockwave, a powerful force of creation appeared in the body out of thin air.
Yang Yuan's face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly took out the Creation Battery, and when his physical body was unable to absorb more Creation Power, he would input those excess Creation Power into the Creation Battery.
At the same time, he put away the safe house and jumped from a height of more than 15,000 meters.
"Boom-"
The ground was smashed out of the deep pit by him, and before the shock wave swept out, he rushed out of the pit like a cannonball, rushing towards the depths of the ancient ruins.
Everyone outside the ancient ruins only felt a black shadow rushing past them, and the next moment they suddenly felt a strong wind.
Everyone nearby was swept away by the strong wind.
"Holy!!"
Someone yelled and had no idea what was going on.
Yang Yuan walked a hundred miles in one step, shuttling through the ancient ruins at great speed.
In less than three seconds, he came to the deepest part of the ancient ruins and saw the corpse of the heaven-level monster that was dissolving.
I saw that the corpse of that heaven-level monster quickly vanished, and in the end, only a crystal ball-like spirit core was left suspended there.
"Heaven-level core!"
Yang Yuan's face was happy, and in order to prevent accidents, he hurriedly waved his hand and put it into the Void Ring.
Luckily, there were no surprises.
But it's a pity that maybe that arrow was too terrifying, or maybe the game mechanism was like this, and the body of the heaven-level monster couldn't stay.
He killed this heaven-level monster, and in the end, in addition to obtaining the power of creation, only one heaven-level core was a reward.
Suddenly, the flesh that flew out upside down rolled upside down, and the place was full of blue light.
Yang Yuan's face changed, and he hurriedly turned around and ran.
He quickly retreated dozens of miles on the low buildings of the ancient ruins, and then looked back and saw that a data appeared where the heaven-level monster was located before.
A countdown, 356 days.
There's even a stopwatch in the back, beating second by second.
"Could it be that in a year's time, there will be another heaven-level monster here?"
Yang Yuan was puzzled.
But it has nothing to do with him, and after a year, it is still unknown where he is.
'The difficulty of the ancient ruins is over, and then I will cross this ancient ruins and go to the sand stone fort to have a look, and I don't know if Jiayan and Yiyi will be over there. ’
He didn't linger any longer, and quickly rushed towards the outside of the ancient ruins in the other direction.
After reaching the late stage of the earth, his strength has improved a lot, and his speed has been comparable to the limit of the earth, the original dragon prince Ao Wuming and the Luo clan's Russell and others, the speed is about the same as he is now.
It took him less than five seconds for him to rush out of the ancient ruins.
Spotting the direction, his whole body rushed out like an arrow from the string.
"Huhuhu......"
Suddenly the wind picked up, the sky quickly darkened, and the whole sky was covered in sand and dust.
"Sandstorm?"
Yang Yuan frowned slightly, ignored it, and continued to run wildly.
But at this moment, a faint sense of crisis appeared.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Suddenly, there was a dense explosion around.
Deep pits suddenly appeared, rocks pierced the air, and this place was directly blown into a deep valley.
Yang Yuan frowned and quickly shuttled through the gap between the explosions.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
The bombardment became more and more intensive, and in just a few seconds there were several thousand explosions.
Even the most powerful explosion can blast a nearby crater hundreds of meters deep.
The most powerful explosion can even blast out a huge crater with a diameter of thousands of meters.
Although such an explosion could not hurt him, even he felt very uncomfortable being bombed one after another like this.
"!"
Suddenly, a stronger sense of crisis emerged.
Yang Yuan hurriedly turned around.
"Boom-"
A terrifying explosion appeared out of thin air, sending him flying.
A sinkhole with a diameter of more than 100 kilometers appeared directly in the rear.
The terrifying shock wave swept through the heavens and the earth, causing dust to cover the sky and the sun within a radius of thousands of miles.
In addition, there is a sandstorm now, and the dust is directly blown all over the world.
Yang Yuan changed direction with the help of the impact, and it took a few seconds to rush out for four or five hundred miles, and when he came to the periphery, he looked in that direction in disbelief.
"Run, everyone, this is a bombing zone......"
"The Imperial bombers are here again, I'm so sloppy!"
"Get out of here......"
A player shouts in the distance.
Many unlucky guys died directly in the previous big explosion.
People who are lucky or powerful rush to flee into the distance.
"Bombing zone?"
Yang Yuan frowned: "The bomber of the empire? ”
He looked up at the sky, but saw nothing because the sandstorm obscured the sky.
"Huhuhu......"
The wind is stronger.
And more and more sand and dust obscures the sky, making the light here darker and darker.
The whole world gradually darkened, and a terrifying hurricane swept through the boundless Gobi, making it seem like the end of the world.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
A big explosion was still coming in the distance.
Yang Yuan was a little depressed and annoyed in his heart.
I finally found my way, but now I am lost again, because the sandstorm obscures the sky and the sun, and even the terrain is about to be changed.
The route I saw before obviously can't be used.
Of course, the main thing is that the visibility is too small, and it is impossible to continue on the road.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
The bombardment over there is still going on, and it shouldn't be over for a while.
Yang Yuan took a deep look at the sky obscured by the dust and quickly left here.
It was getting late at night, and the sky, which had been obscured by the sandstorm, was getting dark quickly.
"Whistling...... Whistling ......"
The sandstorm was completely formed, and the wind that could blow away the boulders of 10,000 catties passed through the country, sweeping everything.
Everywhere there was swirling sand and stones, and there were huge trees flying everywhere, and the already desolate Gobi was once again scraped away.
Yang Yuan walked in the sandstorm for a long time, completely lost, and didn't know where to go.
He simply stopped, ready to wait for the wind to stop and find someone to ask.
The ancient ruins are definitely closer to the Sandstone Castle, and players here may know the exact location of the Sandstone Castle.
After all, almost all of these players have lived in the Huangsha Gobi for more than half a year, unlike people like him who have just arrived.
At the same time.
In a sandstorm tens of thousands of miles away.
Nine-year-old Jiang Yiyi walked aimlessly in the storm of doom.
The sandstorm that swept across the continent didn't seem to affect her at all, she felt like she was walking in another plane.
I don't know how long it took, but she came to a hill and released her perception with all her strength, sensing every grass, tree, soil and stone within a radius of thousands of miles.
After a while, she couldn't help but sigh again.
"Alas......"
The little girl's face was full of helplessness.
In the dark, a seven or eight-meter-tall sand wolf approached silently under the cover of a sandstorm, and the little girl seemed to be unconscious.
"Whew......"
Suddenly, the sand wolf bit at once, and it was directly empty.
Its massive body passed directly through the little human girl, and then fell from the top of the mountain due to the force of the momentum.
In the process of falling, there was still amazement and incomprehension in its eyes, and there was a faint fear in it, and it could not understand the situation.
The little girl seems to have been used to all this for a long time, and she didn't take a second look at it at all.
She yawned, stretched, and walked down the hill, continuing in the direction she had chosen.
Suddenly, within her perception range, hundreds of kilometers away, a drone three or four meters in size was swept around by a sandstorm, spinning with the sand and rocks.
And above the drone, there is a line of words: Yiyi, Yang Yuan, I am Jiayan, the drone was released by me, I am in Shashi Fort, where the science and technology association is stationed.
"Sister Jiayan......"
The little girl's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly ran in that direction, the doomsday sandstorm that swept the world had no effect on her, whether it was strength or vision.
Although the distance is very long, although that drone seems to be broken.
But since the drone can fly to this place, it means that the place where the drone is released will not be too far.
……
Because he was worried that Jiang Yiyi would pass by nearby and not be able to sense himself, Yang Yuan did not enter the safe house.
The safe house has space isolation, and he doesn't know whether Jiang Yiyi's perception can penetrate the space, he hasn't asked before, and he hasn't encountered anything like the safe house.
So he blew the wind outside for half the night, and let the devastating sandstorm sweep away, but he didn't move.
At about twelve o'clock in the evening, the sandstorm finally stopped.
But today's weather is very bad, the sky is obscured by dark clouds, there is no starlight, and there is darkness between the sky and the earth.
Yang Yuan came to the highest hill nearby.
The rocks here have been blown away by the strong wind, leaving behind a thick layer of hard stone.
And even the stone is as if it has been polished.
If you ignore the desolate surface, the scenery is actually nice during the day.
Yang Yuan stood on the hill for a while, and suddenly took out the wood he had obtained from Wang Jiahui before.
He put the wood together one by one to form a campfire.
Because of the influence of sandstorms, the temperature in the yellow sand Gobi is as high as 50 or 60 degrees during the day, but the temperature at night is as low as more than 10 degrees below zero.
Although he didn't need lighting himself and didn't feel cold, he wanted to use a campfire to illuminate the surrounding environment.
Soon, the campfire was set up.
He picked up a stone that was hard enough, gently crushed it, and continued to pinch it round and flatten, compressing the stone.
Under the extreme compression, the stone quickly became red and hot, and the temperature became higher and higher.
Finally, when the stone was completely red, he lowered it into a bonfire made of wood.
Under the astonishing heat, the bonfire was ignited instantly.
As a result, something unexpected happened to him, and at the moment when the campfire was lit, the upgrade data appeared:
[Bonfire Lv.1: 0/5 (A one-time bonfire, the wood burns out, and it will disappear; Not upgradable)]
Yang Yuan raised his eyebrows, and a trace of suspicion flashed in his heart.
According to his previous experience, it is necessary to make the object as a whole before the upgrade data can appear.
And now, this bonfire, which he built at random with many individual woods, did not form a whole at all, why is there data as well?
Wait...... This flame ......'
Suddenly, Yang Yuan saw the burning flames, and his heart moved: "Is it the reason why the flames connect the entire bonfire together and form a whole?" ’
Looks like that's how it should be.
And so it can only be.
Otherwise, the scattered parts are put together casually, and it is impossible to form a whole, which is the experience he has obtained from countless previous attempts.
However, I didn't expect that the flame could also be used as a medium to connect objects.
Yang Yuan waited patiently, he wanted to see what this bonfire would become when it was upgraded.
About a minute later—
[XP +1]
The campfire experience has increased a bit.
'Is the way to gain experience by burning time?' ’
Yang Yuan knew in his heart, because he was worried that the bonfire would burn out before the experience was full, so he tried to add firewood.
As a result, after the firewood was added, the data suddenly disappeared.
His brow moved slightly, and he picked up the wood again, and sure enough, the upgrade data reappeared.
It seems that as before, the items that have already generated data cannot be re-transformed. ’
Yang Yuan waited patiently, but fortunately, the quality of the collected wood was good enough to withstand burning.
Five minutes had passed, the experience had been filled, and the wood of the campfire had only been burned a third of it.
Without delay, he directly chose to upgrade.
A white light appeared, enveloping the entire campfire.
After about three seconds, the upgrade is over, the white light disappears, and new data appears:
[Campfire Lv.2: 0/10 (One-time bonfire, the wood burns out, and it will disappear; Wood consumption slows down by a factor of two; Not upgradable)]
'Wood consumption slowing down? ’
Yang Yuan knew it in his heart and continued to wait.
Ten minutes later, the experience was full again, and he directly upgraded it to level three.
After reaching level 3, other information remains the same, and the consumption rate of wood is reduced by a factor of four.
After another twenty minutes, the campfire reached level four.
The fourth-level bonfire is still a one-time bonfire, and the consumption rate of wood is reduced by ten times.
That's pretty impressive.
So next, Yang Yuan found that although the bonfire was burning all the time, it almost didn't feel consumed.
Forty minutes passed in the blink of an eye, and the bonfire had reached level five.
For a level 5 bonfire, wood consumption is slowed by a factor of twenty.
Then, after eighty minutes, the campfire reached level six, and the wood consumption rate was reduced by a factor of forty.
When the bonfire reaches level seven, the consumption rate of wood is directly reduced by a hundred times.
After Yang Yuan became serious, he almost forgot the time.
The sky was getting brighter before I knew it.
When a player approached and wanted to buy binding items, he took the time to sell some gathering axes or pickaxes.
But it's a pity that there are no players who have exceeded the fifty-first level now, or the people who have purchased items before, have not exceeded the fifty-first level, so so far, his personal experience is zero.
Until now, only a sixth-order strange object could provide him with personal experience.
Now the level of these players is too low, and the binding items are bound to them, and they are also limited by their own level, and their binding items cannot exceed their own level.
Therefore, if they want to continue to upgrade the binding items, they can only wait for their own level to rise.
Yang Yuan pondered that the upgrade speed of these players was not fast, so after finding Jiang Yiyi and Zhao Jiayan, they might be able to fly to a higher-level continent first.
Time passes.
It was getting dark again.
Finally, the night was over, a touch of fish belly white appeared in the sky, the experience was finally enough, and the bonfire was successfully raised to the level of a strange thing:
[Strange Object: Bonfire Lv.11: 0/10 (Anchored to the ground, immovable bonfire; As long as you add wood, it will continue to burn the magic bonfire, each piece of wood collected, can increase the burning time by one minute; The glow of a campfire dispels darkness and brings warmth; The glow of the campfire restores stamina and restores injuries; The glow of the campfire repels monsters that haunt the night, and the current effect is 10 meters; Not afraid of wind and snow, the wind will not extinguish, can be burned in any extreme environment, but afraid of rain; Not upgradable)]
'Regain your strength, recover from your injuries?' ’
'Chase away the monsters that appear at night?' ’
A look of surprise flashed in Yang Yuan's eyes.
This bonfire, although it looks ordinary, but the effect is a bit bullish.
He immediately chose to fully empower himself.
Once fully authorized, he discovered that the campfire had become his own exclusive item, recyclable and reusable.
At the same time, he also realized that without full authorization, campfires are public goods that cannot be recycled by anyone, that is, they cannot be stored in the space storage, let alone moved.
Because this campfire is anchored to the ground without full authorization.
Of course, if someone moves the ground along with it, that's another story.
Yang Yuan didn't waste any time, and directly thought about it, and put this bonfire into the Void Ring.
After entering the Void Ring, the bonfire went out automatically, but it was still a whole, and there was an inexplicable force that glued the half-burned wood together, and it would not fall apart.
It's a pity that this kind of campfire takes too long to make, otherwise it can be considered for sale. ’
Yang Yuan pondered, if he had time in the future, it would not be impossible to sell.
Because this kind of thing that can increase experience as long as it is burned, although the speed of gaining experience in the early stage is relatively slow, but in the later stage, it is better to use than items that need to manually obtain experience, and you can gain personal experience faster.
By this time it was already dark.
Taking advantage of the fact that someone came over to buy binding props, Yang Yuan inquired about the location of the sand stone fort.
Players here do know about Sandstone Castle, and even more so about the location of the 'Tech Society'.
However, I heard that something has happened in the past few days and may have to be relocated.
Where can Yang Yuan still sit still, he immediately put away the printer, and the whole person shot into the distance like a cannonball.
"Boom—"
It was like a hurricane on the desolate Gobi, and wherever he passed, he brought up a large amount of smoke and dust, which made nearby players look at it in amazement.
Today's Yang Yuan, in the case of long-distance running, can reach hundreds of kilometers per second.
Even if he encountered uphill and downhill and some accidents, he slowed down slightly, but in only ten minutes, he approached the sandstone fort.
Just when he was less than a thousand kilometers from the sandstone fort, in the other direction.
Jiang Yiyi's eyes suddenly lit up, and while speeding up, she shouted: "Big brother......"
However, Yang Yuan's speed was too fast, and his voice couldn't catch up with him at all.
Jiang Yiyi was in a hurry, her speed could not reach that level.
But suddenly she thought of something, and hurriedly shot an arrow in that direction, anyway, she knew that the eldest brother had a fire bracer on his body, and he would definitely not be injured.
"Boom—"
Yang Yuan, who was running wildly, suddenly felt a sense of crisis.
Almost reflexively, he pinched his backhand, and a streamer burst out, pinched by his two fingers.
This is a wooden crossbow arrow, because the quality is too poor, and the kinetic energy is too great, it was annihilated the moment it was pinched by him, and the terrifying kinetic energy directly blasted him out for hundreds of meters, and a ripple rippled around him.
"It's ?!!"
A gleam flashed in Yang Yuan's eyes, and he stopped abruptly and looked in the direction where the arrow was fired.
