Chapter 189: Dark Crossing Cave

Chapter 189: Dark Crossing Cave (Happy New Year)
The original altar.

Qi Sheng's consciousness jumped between the Ancient God Arena and the Paradise Palace.

When friends come from afar, it is a great pleasure to send greetings to the neighbors next door.

After the player Song Hao was killed in the game space, he discovered that members of the Youlu Council actually wanted to follow the Internet cable to the Dizhong Village space.

Although Guidance could block spatial information at any time, he did not let Guidance do so.

He immediately contacted Yan Ming, who mastered the rules of the supreme space, and sent the members of the Youlu Council who had followed the clues to attack to the Ancient God Arena and the Paradise Palace respectively.

These two places are usually taken advantage of by players, and this time he gave extra cash back and offered a wave of benefits.

In fact, he also thought about sending it to the evil spirit.

But that takes the fun out of it.

Comparing the current combat power of the evil spirits on earth with that of the members of the Phantom Council, even with the blessing of the waxing moon, it would be extremely difficult for them to fight against each other. If a large number of reinforcements come, the evil spirits on earth will not be able to resist at all.

After all, the average hunting level of the members of the Youlu Council is 139.

But the more likely possibility is that after discovering that the exit was the Black Tide, the members of the Youlu Council decisively escaped.

After all, the Black Tide is too well-known in the monster world and is recognized as a disaster-level force.

The newly arrived forces may not know the Emperor's Omen, but they have most likely heard of it or even seen the terrifying black tide with their own eyes.

If the members of the Youlu Council were given ten times the courage to annihilate the entire Black Tide clan, they wouldn't have the guts.

Even with an average combat power level of 139, they are just like ants in a small world in front of the terrifying black tide and will shatter at the slightest touch.

But the Ancient God Arena and the Palace of Bliss are different.

There are special taboos in these two areas. Once you enter, don't even think about coming out.

A hunting level of 139 may seem very strong, but the pseudo-champion fighter with 29 wins in the Ancient God Arena has a combat power level of 358.

The same is true for Elysium.

Although the members of the Dark Law Council are elemental beings, the Palace of Bliss can still generate the illusions they desire.

For example, in the Gate of Gluttony, what they will see will no longer be the delicacies that flesh and blood creatures desire, but various elemental crystal energies.

Facing different creatures, the illusions generated by the Paradise Palace will also be different.

It would be very difficult to break free from it without purification rules.

It can be said that once you enter the Paradise Entertainment City, you will never be able to leave in your lifetime unless you are drained of all your energy.

Since the members of the Youlu Council like to play games, he customized two new games for them to have fun. The key point is that there is no cheating in his games and they are very fair.

You challenge difficulties based on your own strength and play a real level-breaking game.

Although it is indeed a little difficult to pass the level.

Turning our gaze towards the Palace of Bliss, the members of the Dark Law Council who have already entered the first level of space have lost themselves, their consciousness sinking deeper and deeper into the vortex of the abyss of desire.

The blood-deducting mode starts as soon as you enter the first door. Even if you wake up, there are still four scenes of corruption waiting for you.

The inevitable end result is to become the resource package of the welfare lord.

Without paying too much attention, his eyes jumped to the Ancient God Arena.

The members of the Ghostly Council were detained separately in single rooms in the second ladder arena and could only observe the battle in the arena through the windows.

From being the game rule makers to becoming contestants, it can be seen that the members of the Youlu Council are very desperate.

In fact, the members of the Youlu Council who had just entered the Ancient God Arena had thought about resisting, but they didn't even need the Ancient God Champion to take action, because the power of the barbarian slaves was not something they could contend with.

The end result was that the members of the Ghostly Council were forced to compete in the arena just like the contestants they captured.

In the game mode developed by the members of the Youlu Council, contestants have room for error and are given life points.

But in the Ancient God Arena, you play in a one-life clearance mode, and failure means death.

After dealing with the "invading forces", Qi Sheng's attention jumped to the game space.

Qi Sheng found this rule very interesting.

Although the method of obtaining rule energy and completing rule logic is relatively complicated.

But the ultimate reward is an innate ability that can be stripped from the target ethnic group through rules.

It can be considered as a rule machine for producing talent skills.

If it can be integrated into the Challenger system, in addition to the Star Vein combination, the player legion will be able to derive a large number of usable non-rule small skills in the future.

The only problem is that the logic of the rules is too complicated, requiring a game of strategy and the extermination of the entire clan of eliminated people.

After carefully analyzing the principles, Qi Sheng felt that the complicated settings did not qualify them to enter the Challenger System.

This will only affect the player's growth rate.

It may even lead to the emergence of a new genre of "game makers" among the player army.

They gain power by creating mini-games to challenge intelligent species across the monster world.

But the problem is that there will be penalties for failure, and players need to pay an equal resource bet.

More importantly, the subsequent genocide mission is difficult to complete by a single player, even in a battle group.

Too many restrictions greatly reduce the value of the game space rules in Qi Sheng's eyes.

But it's not entirely useless.

According to the instructions, the world origin obtained after decomposing the rules can be used to create new rule characteristics.

However, at this stage, the player army's strength is limited, and it is difficult to fight across space, but he still left his mark of consciousness in the game space.

When players in the future have enough combat power to compete with the Ghostly Council, he will let the players take action and take over the rules of the game space.

Consciousness returns to the Origin Altar.

Qi Sheng looked through the content settings for the next round of updates.

In this update, he first added two new growth pets to the pet system.

The name of the first pet is: Mechanical Guard.

In its initial state, it is a small robot the size of a palm, with an overall smooth oval shape, like a silver-white metal water drop.

The life template was copied from a silicon-based life structure found in a relic in the Pale Continent region.

The ability is to devour spiritual ore to gain growth.

At this stage, players' efficiency in utilizing spiritual ores is low. After mining, they are generally sold to arms dealer guilds or directly sacrificed and exchanged for sacrificial power.

Mechanical guards can effectively decompose spiritual ore into "experience points" to assist their own growth.

However, the mechanical guard is not worthy of entering the pet system.

After all, there is no essential difference between investing sacrificial power to cultivate growth and investing spiritual ore to cultivate, both of which require sacrificial power.

Its biggest feature is that its growth direction is set according to the spiritual ore it devours.

For example, if you consume spiritual ores for a long time, you can continue to comprehend special spiritual abilities as you grow.

Or, by devouring spiritual ores such as solid rock cores, barrier crystals, and earth vein stones for a long time, you can greatly enhance your defense and generate skills that match the properties of the spiritual ores.

He set the price of the mechanical guard at 6.8 sacrificial power.

It is the pet with the most diverse development patterns among all growing pets at this stage.

According to the guide calculation, the mechanical guard can have 599 growth systems.

Except for some special spiritual ores that the mechanical guard cannot digest, most spiritual ores can help its growth.

Among these data, the one with the highest combat power is the mechanical guard that is fed with a large amount of space spirit ore.

After growing to level 120, you can master three space-related abilities.

For example, by feeding a large amount of Void Stones produced by the Void Peak field node in the Winter Snowfield, you can obtain a mechanical guard with space-related abilities.

But the shortcomings are also obvious.

The more powerful the growth system, the higher the value of the spiritual ore required.

Ordinary players can only feed some low-level spiritual ores in the early stages to help the mechanical guards grow.

However, he set up an initialization return function for the pet.

If the player's income increases in the future, you can choose to return it at any time and re-feed it with high-quality spiritual ore to change the growth direction of the mechanical guard.

The second pet is the Star Core.

Considering that the only ways for players to restore their mental strength on the battlefield at this stage are mall potions and energy-eating souls.

In a high-intensity war mode, it is easy to overdraw mental energy.

Especially war command.

Brain Overclocking, Eagle-Headed Demon, and Mark, these three souls all require mental energy to maintain their use.

While out searching, Qi Sheng accidentally discovered a growth-type pet that was suitable for replenishing mental power.

The pet's name is: Star Core. Born in the Dragon Crystal Vein area in the northern region of the Pale Continent.

Its body is made up of translucent energy crystals, and when it moves, one can see twinkling stars inside its body.

In its initial state, its body is about the size of an adult's head and looks like a young cat, with its body covered with star-shaped crystal scales.

Star cores are gentle in nature and like to stay in areas with abundant energy.

The ability it possesses is called energy resonance in the analysis information.

Able to interact with the surrounding energy field, and can absorb, store and release energy.

Compared with combat capability, Qi Sheng values ​​the power bank attribute of the star core more, which allows the star core to store a certain amount of energy in advance and use it whenever needed.

Cultivating star cores is equivalent to having an extra portable power bank.

Moreover, while charging the player, the power bank can also continuously absorb energy from heaven and earth to restore its own consumption, thereby indirectly improving the player's combat endurance.

In terms of price, Qi Sheng priced it at 5800 sacrificial power, which is less than one-tenth of the mechanical guard.

The initial appearance of these two new pets is very cute, and they have abilities that meet the current needs of players.

After looking through the template information of the new pet, Qi Sheng's consciousness followed the guidance and landed in the western area of ​​the Pale Continent.

What appeared before our eyes was a barren Gobi desert with a shocking huge crack cutting through the earth. The edges were steep and jagged, and the sharp rocks were like jagged teeth. Under the years of erosion by strong winds, it looked even more hideous.

Around the tiankeng, yellow sand was flying everywhere, and there was no life activity nearby.

This was a special area he had stumbled upon while searching for growing pets.

When his consciousness swept over, he sensed chaotic energy fluctuations beneath the ground.

Probing downwards along the ravine that tore the earth apart, I found a completely different world inside.

Through analytical investigation, he understood the specific reasons.

This was once the territory of the "Mingdu Clan", a powerful clan in the Emperor's Omen era, and is also known as the Mingdu Cave.

Although they are located in the Pale Continent, the Mingdu Clan is loyal to Jiuyin, one of the Four Gods, and a statue of Jiuyin is enshrined in the cave.

During the catastrophe, the entire force went out, but in the end no one returned.

The underground cave was once the clan territory of the Mingdu tribe. It was built into countless multi-story structures. Except for the living area, other areas are trial areas.

This is also the trial ground used by the Mingdu tribe to train warriors.

The cave stores a large amount of resources and wealth, and is as big as a small world. All trial spaces move dynamically inside and have no fixed position.

After discovering the Mingdu Cave, Qi Sheng had an idea.

I think it is entirely possible to set up a novice village space node in it.

Compared to the three areas with fixed environments: Teizuka Mountains, Colorful Mist Coast, and Winter Snowfield.

The environment in the Mingdu Cave is full of randomness.

During the exploration process, players may encounter dangerous monsters, or they may encounter various treasures left by the Mingdu tribe for trial warriors.

After analyzing and scanning, it was discovered that there were still original monsters in the Mingdu Cave that were initialized and refreshed after death.

Whether from the perspective of revenue or fun, the Mingdu Cave meets the requirements for setting up a space node.

The only downside is that there is no balance in monster strength.

The monsters you may encounter are very weak, or you may encounter super monsters that novice players find difficult to fight against. It is more suitable for veteran players to explore.

But this problem can be improved by setting up the location of the novice village.

While investigating the cave, he also discovered that during the long period when the Mingdu tribe disappeared, a large number of descending forces had settled here.

In order to compete for the wealth of the cave, these forces once waged endless wars here.

After the demise of many forces, they left behind the remains of their clans in different spaces. To this day, some remaining forces still obtain development resources by exploring the trial space.

If the Novice Village is set up in the Dark Crossing Cave, these descending forces will also be the players' challenge targets.

When setting up the specific location of the Novice Village, Qi Sheng chose the first floor of the Mingdu Cave.

There is a mechanical relic left here, which was left behind by a destroyed advent force.

All the monsters inside were wiped out by this force, and only a large number of mechanized life forms were active, but their strength was generally not high.

Players can use it as a starting point to explore the cave.

At this time, Qi Sheng's consciousness descended into the first level of the cave.

What appeared before our eyes was a huge mechanical relic, standing in the center of the wasteland like a sleeping steel behemoth.

The outer shell of the ruins is made of rusty metal, and the surface is covered with complex gears and pipes.

The space land is covered with glowing fluorescent minerals and broken mechanical debris, as well as a large number of low-level mechanical creatures, such as mechanical spiders or mechanical worms.

They maintain their lives by eating the soil and minerals in the space.

The arsenal in the abandoned ruins is still operating slowly, continuously producing different types of mechanical life, but it is basically in a semi-waste state and can no longer produce troops as quickly as it did in its peak period.

In the entire first floor, the closer you are to the mechanical ruins, the higher the probability of encountering powerful mechanical life.

His latest growth-type pet mechanical guard was based on the life template he found in this mechanical relic.

According to the instructions, the information of the ruins was retrieved and it was discovered that the mechanical guards were once the most powerful weapons of war for the extinct mechanical life forms.

Even from the perspective of the strength of their life structure, they have surpassed their "Creator".

However, before this super weapon could unleash its power, this group of mechanical life forms perished prematurely.

This is also the characteristic of the cave world.

Many descending forces establish their clans in the underground space. In order to obtain resources, they will go to other trial spaces to explore. Inevitably, they will encounter other descending forces, and then wars will break out for the competition for resources.

What is more dramatic is that it is easy for a war in the underground space to become irreversible.

For example, an advent force entrenched in Space No. 3 launched a war against the forces in Space No. 19. As a result, when they were about to return with a full load after the war, they moved in layers of space and completely lost the coordinates of their homeland, and found that they could not go back.

Therefore, the war mode in the Mingdu Cave is extremely brutal.

The descending forces will basically choose to consume all the resources of one space, and then move the entire clan to the next random space. If they find that other forces are entrenched in this space, a life-and-death war will break out when they meet.

As his consciousness explored the underground cave world in depth, information from different spaces emerged in Qi Sheng's mind.

The sky of the first space was covered by billowing smoke, the earth was a boiling sea of ​​lava, and the huge crater constantly spewed out magma and volcanic ash.

The land area of ​​the entire space is only 19.5%. The surface of the black rock that makes up the land is baked red by the high temperature and continuously releases a scorching breath.

Spatial resolution information is presented at this time.

Molten Space: An elemental space scene created by the Mingdu Clan by capturing a large number of fire elemental life forms, which buries many resources and treasures for the trials and growth of the new generation of warriors.

His sight shifted, and this time what appeared before his eyes was a space shrouded in a thin green mist.

The land is a soft swamp of bubbling black mud that emits a pungent smell and is home to giant mushrooms and twisted trees.

There are a lot of poisonous fog crawlers living inside.

Poisonous Fog Space: The Mingdu Clan collected a large number of poisonous creatures to create a poisonous space, buried a small amount of treasure, and used it for the trial and growth of the new generation of junior warriors.

In this space, Qi Sheng also found the remains of a clan territory left by a descending force.

The ruins have been left unattended for so many years that they have been taken over by various poisonous plants, and vines covered with spots are now spread all over the outer walls of the ruins.

His vision continued to move, and this time what appeared in Qi Sheng's eyes was a world of lightning and thunder.

A giant electromagnetic storm ravaged the entire space, with thick lightning constantly striking the earth. The metal ores on the ground were exposed and twisted into various strange shapes by electromagnetic forces. Some looked like huge spikes, while others were spiral columns. The air was filled with strong electromagnetic interference.

Even the mining robots made by the Arms Dealers Guild cannot work properly in this kind of environment because of the strong electromagnetic interference.

Magnetic Storm Space: A special scene created by the Mingdu Clan who captured a large number of lightning elemental life forms, in which many resources, treasures, and certificates of Nine Yin God's Gift (lost) are buried for the trial and growth of the ultimate warrior.

After checking a large amount of spatial information in succession and clarifying the feasibility of setting up a spatial node in this space, Qi Sheng's consciousness returned to one level of space.

After leaving the coordinate information in the space on the first floor of the cave, the consciousness followed the guidance and returned to the Origin Altar.

From the large map of the Pale Continent region.

The location of the Dark Crossing Cave is in the east of the center of the area between the Colorful Mist Coast and the Emperor's Tomb Mountains, and is also an area covered by the player corridor.

In the future, it will also be a very distinctive and densely populated dungeon area in the player’s territory.

After contacting Yan Ming, the construction of the space node began.

As the sacrificial power is consumed, invisible space orbits are quickly generated.

He named the fourth space node of the player legion: Cave World.

In terms of spatial area, it is comparable to the winter snowfield area.

After the space node architecture is completed and connected to the Dizhong Village space, he will start a new round of player recruitment.

This time he planned to consume 3 million sacrificial energy and distribute 30 game qualifications on the Monster World official website.
