Chapter 45: Crypt Worm Valley
In the valley surrounded by majestic mountains, exotic flowers and plants compete for beauty.
Behind the vitality, there is a deadly killing machine, and there are a large number of strange-shaped insects hidden in the valley.
Su Nian's consciousness swept across the valley with the help of the godhead, and saw a long insect more than two meters long in the mud, covered in black hard armor, twisting its body like a centipede, and also saw a worm on the mountain wall that looked like a toad, blending with the environment with its mimicry, and the barb from its mouth trembled lightly in the air, tempting the prey to take the bait.
There are also insect mimics of blooming flowers, slowly wriggling bodies greedily sucking in corrosive energy particles in the air.
The Godhead had only swept over the corner of the valley, and he had already observed a large number of hideous and terrifying insect life.
At this time, the starlight that enveloped Shadow Song dissipated, and his figure appeared on a green grass in the valley.
At the same time, the main quest set up in advance, as well as the side quest hints that Shadowcity automatically edited after scanning the valley environment, came to mind:

【Faction Tips......】
……
After Shadow City scanned the Worm Valley area where Shadow Song was located, it gave more than ten tasks.
Compared with the simple main quest, the requirements of the side quest are more complex, including mining quests, hunting quests, and even scanning an open-pit mining area to the east of the worm valley and automatically editing a mining quest.
One thing that these auto-released missions have in common is to make sure he doesn't lose Shadow Embers.
For example, killing insect life can collect life cores from them.
This core can be burned and decomposed at the altar of sacrifice like a corrosive material, transforming into shadow power.
Another example is the Insect King Hunting Quest, which appears because Shadow City scans that the Insect King has a skill imprint in his body, and after the sacrificial altar burns and decomposes this brand, the skill trajectory can be included in the skill library.
All missions are designed with the interests of Shadowcity in mind after the scan is completed.
Of course, there is also such a possibility.
In the process of hunting insect life, Shadow Song does not collect the life core of the bug, or returns to Shadow City after the collection, but is unwilling to sacrifice the collected materials or soul core to him.
But this worry was completely unnecessary in Su Nian's opinion.
The shadow song in his eyes is not a fool, and he will definitely not have such stupid behavior.
After all, sacrificial materials are a win-win situation, and without Shadow Ember, Shadow Song would not be able to obtain the strength it wants.
The only thing Su Nian is worried about now is only one problem.
That is, Shadow City does not have supporting consumption facilities, that is, shops similar to Purgatory City, skill towers, and a series of functional facilities.
This has the potential to leave the Shadow Warrior with money and nowhere to spend.
There is no solution to the root of this problem for the time being, and his current plan is to buy them in Purgatory City merchandise first, and then sell them to conscripts who need them.
When you get the Shadow Commodity Widget in the future, this problem can be well solved.
But when this day will come, it is impossible to speculate.
Parts of the Shadowcity's Mall could be buried deep in uncharted mountains, stored in museums in other cities, or even placed in heavily guarded prehistoric research institutes.
When Xiao Rou collects Shadow City parts, she can't know the specific information of the glowing point through perception, which dooms the process of finding "mall parts" like looking for a needle in a haystack.
No longer thinking about the problem, his mind was focused on Shadow Song.
At this time, Shadow Song has already begun to explore the Crypt Worm Valley.
His overall strength is rated at 2 stars in Black Iron, which is even much stronger than the shield bone he encountered in his last exploration.
Not to mention killing indiscriminately in the scene of the 2-star difficulty of the waning moon, but there is nothing wrong with wanting to protect yourself.
Cutting through the bushes, Shadow Song soon encounters the first bug.
The insect resembles a praying mantis, less than a meter tall, with two thick forelimbs like two large knives, arching its body at this time to show its might towards Shadow Song.
The dark green flame suspended above Shadow Song's head pulsed at this moment, and relevant information poured into his mind:
【Sickle】
Target Information: The scene "Crypt Worm Valley" has unique life, and is good at using powerful forelimbs to bind hunting targets, and cooperate with sharp mouthparts to gnaw at targets.
Comprehensive strength evaluation: not ranked.
Target Value: None
……
Faced with the threat of the sickle, Shadow Song raised the blood-colored blade and swung it forward, and suddenly a blood-light moon arc swept forward, and the sickle was split into two parts, and the body that fell to the ground began to writhe and struggle in pain.
After killing the Scythe, Shadow Song's main quest remains unchanged and remains (0/30).
Realizing that the sickle is worthless, and that it is not the "insect life with a life core" in the main quest requirements, Shadow Song doesn't even bother to take another look at the struggling sickle, and jumps over the stump of the sickle to continue to explore ahead.
Seeing Shadow Song kill the sickle in such a simple way, Su Nian's heart was dark.
Such a little brother is simply a weapon to earn embers.
He believed that as Shadow Song grew, it would bring him a steady stream of Shadow Ember benefits.
It didn't take long for the Shadow Song under the perception of Godhead consciousness to encounter insect life again.
The insect life that blocked the road this time, shaped like a small tank, with a thick green carapace growing on its body, let out a terrible scream before Shadow Song could get closer, and crashed straight into Shadow Song.
In the face of the attack, Shadow Song's body passed through the insect's body like a sharp sword, and dark green liquid splattered.
Before they could fight, Shadow Song completed the hunt.
With all of this done, Shadow Song turned and crouched down in front of the tank worm corpse that had split in half, and after some searching, grabbed a life core the size of a baby's fist from the corpse.
Standing up, a trace of doubt appeared on Ying Ge's face, and he muttered in a low voice:
"Where's the carry-on space?"
Hearing Ying Ge's words, Su Nian, who was secretly observing, was struck by lightning.
He found himself forgetting one thing.
The content of the survival guide was copied by him according to the template of Purgatory City, and although it was only transmitted to Shadow Song after the modification, he forgot an important content.
The guide states that each Recruit starts with 20 slots of carry-on space.
He forgot to modify this content.
The current Shadow City does not have the function of opening up personal space at all.
It's already pretended, and it's not round.
