Lu Yuan didn't answer, but kept looking at the list ranking on the light curtain.

In the top twenty on the list, Xia Guo occupies a total of three positions, and the highest ranking is a person named "Ding Silkworm", ranking fourth on the embers list.

Javier occupies four positions, two powers second only to the three major overlords account for two, and the rest are all from the Far Star Federation.

The list of supernova rankings that Xiao Rui had previously passed to Lu Yuan was incomplete, and all the information in the top 30 was hidden.

Ding Silkworm is obviously the top 30 powerhouse on the supernova list, and Lu Yuan is searching for a familiar name on the gang.

At a glance, Lan Chen's name was ranked more than six hundred on the ember list.

Lan Chen's SSS-level strength could only rank more than six hundred on the list, and Lu Yuan was a little surprised.

But when I think that this ember list ranking is not exactly the same as the power ranking, it is also linked to the exploration time, luck, etc., and it is clear.

Xu is noticing Lu Yuan's gaze, Lan Chen explained: "I originally entered the top five hundred, and then I received an order to pick you up, and once I came and went, the ranking immediately fell."

Lu Yuan ignored him, swept the light curtain from beginning to end, and counted a total of more than 1,300 rankings.

Seems like a lot at first glance?

But considering that the number of extraordinary organizations participating in this joint exploration operation in Ember Mountain is more than a hundred, it is really not much to distribute it to each country.

This is still the ranking of the list after excluding a large number of "martyrs", and when I first started exploring, there were more people on the list.

Just Lu Yuan looked at the list for a while, and there were several ranking changes in the top 50 of the embers list, which can be seen that the competition between them is fierce.

Lan Chen urged Lu Yuan to enter the Yellow Bear base, received a recording chip specially made for this joint exploration, loaded the auxiliary optical brain with him, and some necessary supplies, and then took him through the layers of protection and headed towards the outside of the base camp.

"Three hours ago, a six-winged flying bear just led the team to set off, but unfortunately we couldn't catch up, otherwise this trip would have been much safer."

When he walked out of the base, Lan Chen kept sighing, and Lu Yuan couldn't help but ask who the adult was.

As a result, Lan Chen said a name that he was quite familiar with - Yin Muqing!

"A supernova member who is not one in ten million, he is strong, young and promising, and his appearance and figure are first-class."

Lan Chen sighed with fascination: "It's a pity that I couldn't catch that bus, otherwise there is such a goddess in the team, even if you look at it, it will be eye-catching." ”

Lu Yuan glanced at Lan Chen rather speechlessly.

He didn't agree with Lan Chen's words.

In his opinion, Yin Muqing can only be regarded as average in terms of strength and appearance, where can he reach the word goddess, just the blessing of pure supernova aura.

It's not that he hasn't seen a true goddess, and only those like the Raven God and Yuwen Tong can be counted.

As soon as you exit the gate of the base, you will be greeted by a tall and dense primeval forest.

There were many traces of people walking in front of the forest, and when Lu Yuan and Lan Chen stopped to decide which direction to go, several humanoid mechanical bodies rumbled over the heads of the two of them.

"You've just entered the secret realm, and the first time you explore is mainly familiar, let's choose a safer route."

Lan Chen lowered his head to study the map of the secret realm, and instructed Lu Yuan: "After you go in later, you must listen to my command, this place is too evil, and sometimes you don't know how to die."

If something happens to you, I won't be able to explain it to Hitomi-sama when I turn around."

Listening to Lan Chen's chatter in his ear, he thought that he should change the notes he should change a little when he turned around, and it would be more appropriate to add a label like "verbose" after "Invite Merit Boy".

Lu Yuan looked around with his own eyes.

Suddenly, the gaze lingered somewhere.

His eyes flickered, then he pointed in the direction where his gaze had fallen and said, "How about going there?" ”

"Huh?"

Lan Chen raised his head, compared it with the map in the direction Lu Yuan pointed, and frowned, "Why are you going there?" ”

"There's no why.

It's just that I feel like I'll have better luck going in that direction. ”

Lu Yuan said, his eyes kept staring ahead, and there was a faint strange color flashing in his eyes.

He saw a small orange bird perched on the top of a large tree at the edge of the Ember Forest.

Hoopoe birds!

The [Chaos Divination] he did before coming to Ember Mountain, divining his next fortune, and the result was a hoopoe bird pattern symbolizing good luck.

Although this thing is somewhat superstitious, as a world where there are real gods, what if this is really a hint from the goddess of luck in the dark?

I don't know if it's an illusion, Lu Yuan seems to see the hoopoe bird glance at him intentionally or unintentionally, and then flap its wings and disappear into the forest.

Lan Chen hesitated for a moment, but finally chose to respect Lu Yuan's decision.

"Okay, anyway, the route in this direction is relatively safe."

The two of them didn't talk nonsense, and walked directly towards the primeval forest.

There is no day or night in the secret realm of Ember Mountain, there is no sun, but it is not dark.

Lu Yuan followed Lan Chen in the primeval forest, surrounded by a few unknown people embracing thick ancient trees, and the fallen leaves of these ancient trees were spread into a thick layer under his feet.

From time to time, you can see insects and small animals, and despite their strange appearance, the overall atmosphere is relatively relaxed.

This is especially true for Lu Yuan.

The evil god factor in the primeval forest was about two to three times stronger than outside.

As soon as Lu Yuan walked into the forest, the whole person became extremely "excited", and he could feel the continuous growth of blood cells in his body all the time.

Feedback to the personal attribute panel shows that the four basic attributes are slowly and steadily improving.

Lu Yuan felt that even if he didn't do anything, as long as he stayed here, the natural improvement of his light attribute would make his trip worthwhile.

We are now in the 'safe zone', with a total length of about 10 kilometres.

Don't look at the calm now, it doesn't seem to be dangerous at all, when I first came in, this place was full of man-eating evil creatures.

It took a lot of effort to barely get by."

Lan Chen walked far ahead, the prismatic gem on his chest emitting a faint blue light.

Lu Yuan felt that all his second-order spiritual power was dispersed, and many modules in his body that had undergone minor transformation were in a state of being ready to activate at any time, and he was very cautious.

Lu Yuan had a rough idea of the path Lan Chen took.

It belongs to a relatively high-end transformation route.

The core of the system is exoskeleton armor, which is implanted with an energy field and a large number of intelligent modules to assist in combat.

There are two branches on this path, one is "man-machine integration", which completely transforms itself into a combat mecha, and the other is "man-machine separation", which takes the route of a pilot.

These two paths, no matter which direction they are, have to be attached to a huge organizational force, and personal resources simply cannot support them step by step.

No matter which path it is, there are rigid requirements for mental power.

"My current mental power of 31 points of intelligence is much higher than that of ordinary second-order spiritual power, but it is less than third-order"

Lu Yuan was secretly comparing the gap in mental power between himself and Lan Chen.

His spiritual power is actually not outstanding, and in his strength composition, the proportion of spiritual power is not large, and he basically relies on skill and pure strength to provide bursts.

However, Lu Yuan feels that he is actually quite fast to catch up, and every time his intelligence increases, his mental strength can skyrocket.

He estimated that if he added a few more points to his intelligence attributes, his spiritual power would be able to break through the third order.

After all, intelligence does not only represent mental power, it covers a wide range.

On the way to follow Lan Chen, Lu Yuan has been trying to find the trace of the hoopoe bird he had just seen outside the forest.

But I couldn't find it, and I don't know where I flew.

"Anything further on, you're in the 'non-safe zone.'"

Lan Chen suddenly stopped and reminded Lu Yuan with a serious expression, "This area has not been fully explored, there are still many dangers, you must follow me."

If something happens to me, don't try to save it. Hurry up and go back the way you came."

Lu Yuan's eyes flickered, nodded and did not speak.

"Click-"

Lan Chen finished telling Lu Yuan, the prismatic gem on his chest glowed, as if pressing a certain power button, pieces of blue alloy armor emerged from all parts of his body, firmly protecting his joints, vital points and other parts.

"One-phase start-up"

After doing all this, Lan Chen cautiously stepped forward.

After that, his whole person was obviously more cautious than several times, and he had to stop from time to time to think about it before deciding where to go next.

The speed at which the two of them moved forward became rather slow.

Lu Yuan is not in a hurry, silently absorbing the evil god factor in the surrounding environment, and seizing all the time to strengthen himself.

After walking for ten minutes, about a kilometer or two, a series of "rustling" sounds suddenly came from a bush somewhere beside the two.

Lan Chen's nerves tensed instantly, and he turned around sharply and aimed his hands in the direction where the voice came from.

There were flickering clusters of blue energy in the palms of both hands.

At about the same time, two figures popped out of the voice, wearing a white combat uniform with a black diamond pattern printed on the chest, and their appearance was very different from that of the Xia people.

Lu Yuan recognized this pattern as a symbol of a transcendent organization called "Black Spirit".

They are also members of the exploration team.

The expressions of the two members of the Black Spirit Organization who came out of the bushes were as nervous as Lan Chen's, and the two sides glanced at each other.

Lu Yuan's eyes spontaneously popped up the brief identity information of the two people opposite.

Name, country organization, embers ranking.

The two groups of people who encountered the accident did not have any verbal communication, and after taking a photo, the two sides separated quite tacitly.

"Two ranked more than seven hundred."

As soon as the two members of the Black Spirit Organization left, Lan Chen immediately breathed a sigh of relief, said on his lips, and then taught Lu Yuan his experience: "The record chip just loaded has an advantage, that is, as long as you look at people face to face, you can immediately query the opponent's ember list ranking.

To a large extent, this can also reflect the opponent's combat power level."

The road is far from committal.

After a false alarm, the two moved on.

At a certain moment, out of the corner of Lu Yuan's eyes, he suddenly caught a glimpse of an orange shadow flashing in the jungle.

Hoopoe bird?!

Lu Yuan's spiritual power stretched violently, but he didn't catch the other party's figure.

His eyes flickered, he thought about it and grabbed Lan Chen's arm, pointed in the direction of the suspected hoopoe bird just now, and said, "Let's go this way, shall we?" ”

"Why do you a rookie who has entered the secret realm for the first time have so many inexplicable suggestions?"

Lan Chen glanced at him with a strange expression, took two steps in the direction that Lu Yuan was pointing, stretched out his hand to remove the tree vines blocking the way in front of him, and said, "Is there anything special here?" Why do you have to go this way?! ”

Before Lan Chen finished speaking, the whole person suddenly trembled violently.

Then his eyes were fixed on a certain position in front of him, and there was a look of shock and ecstasy in his eyes beating wildly.

"What a strong energy fluctuation!

The chip prompts that there is a suspected high-value strange object within five kilometers ahead!

Ma Ye Lu Yuan. We seem to have had a lot of luck this time?! ”

Lu Yuan didn't speak, and followed two steps forward.

When he walked to Lan Chen's side, the exploration chip loaded in his body really jumped out of a similar prompt.

When he saw the prompt, I don't know why, Lu Yuan felt an inexplicable sense of relaxation and naturalness in his heart.

He felt as if he had been right.

Could it be that the elusive hoopoe bird is really his lucky envoy?!
