Hiss…
When they saw what happened, Jiang Feng and Li’er could not help but take in a breath of cold air.
Players who were at Black Realm Three Stars were killed the moment that they entered the black mist. One could only imagine how powerful that giant creature was.
But he understood why after giving it a thought.
Other players must have tried to explore this area. They must have given up because they were not strong enough, and they stopped here.
“Are we still going in?” Li’er asked Jiang Feng as she gulped and glanced at the charred corpse.
“Of course. No reason not to,” Jiang Feng said.
The reason that they came here was to take the Pre-Creation Spiritual Treasure that was going to be created here. If they do not go in, how could they grab it for themselves?
As for the powerful monsters within, all they needed to do was to find a way around them.
Not to mention that both of them had Chi Shields. If they could not defeat it, they could still choose to run.
“Do you have any Secret Manuals that can increase speed? Can you give me one? Then, the chances of us surviving would be greater!” Li’er thought of something and asked Jiang Feng.
“No,” He replied. He only had a Secret Manual for Tyrant Fist, a Mid-Yellow level Secret Manual and two treasures.
He had no movement type Secret Manuals usable for Li’er.
Not to mention that if he did, he would not give it to her.
Since they still were not very familiar with each other.
“When we go in later, stay on the Lunar Wolf King. If there is any danger, he will escape together with you!” Jiang Feng said to her as he looked into Li’er’s worried eyes.
With that, he took out the Chengying Sword and headed straight toward the black mist.
Li’er had no choice but to get up on the Lunar Wolf King and followed Jiang Feng into the black mist.
Jiang Feng walked over to the charred corpse and picked up the backpack on the ground, and began to rummage through it.
There was not anything valuable within the backpack. It was mainly filled with medicine.
Since they came here to hunt for treasure, they naturally would not bring any treasures with them.
There was a limit as to how much the backpack could carry. There was only 5 square worth of space,* so most of the players would leave their valuable items at home or put them in storage. Not to mention that the backpack would drop as loot, most players would not put their valuable items in their backpack.
T/L Note: The author didn’t mention the unit, so… yeah.
“Looks like the backpacks of the players coming for the Pre-Creation Spiritual Treasure would be empty. Perhaps only after the fight for the Pre-Creation Spiritual Treasure would most of their backpacks have something valuable in them,” Jiang Feng mumbled as he threw away the backpack and avoided where the giant creature was and entered into the black mist from another direction.
The so-called black mist was no threat to the players. Their only use was to cover this entire area.
When most players entered this area, they would need to light up the area. However, for someone with night vision, he could treat the black mist within a dozen meters as non-existent.
After entering the black mist, he then looked at where the giant monster was.
He then saw a giant toad with a pair of sharp claws munching the corpse of the female player that it had just killed.
“Let’s go!” When he saw that the monster had yet to discover him, he then signaled to the Lunar Wolf King and quickly headed inside.
The area within the black mist was a forest.
After walking for about several hundred meters, he suddenly stopped.
Because in front of them was another giant toad with a pair of sharp claws.
Sharp Claw Fire Toad: Black Realm Six Stars
Combat Rating: 3,533
‘Sh*t! Its combat rating is almost maxed out. No wonder the map here has never been explored. If none of the elites on the Tianji Leaderboard went out of their way to come here, no one can defeat the monsters here!’ Jiang Feng thought to himself as he looked at the monster’s stats.
When one ascended from the Yellow Realm to the Black Realm, the moment that they crossed over, they would gain an extra 1,000 points to their combat rating. When their star increased by 1, it would still only increase combat rating by 100.
That meant that the Sharp Claw Fire Toad only needed to increase its combat rating by 67, and it would then reach its maxed stats for its level!
Before the monster could discover him, he slowly walked toward a direction where there were no monsters.
It would be suicide to fight with those monsters!
Thump! Thump!
But it was at this time that he could hear a fleet of footsteps from outside the black mist.
He turned around and looked outside the black mist. He then saw a large group of players already running in into the black mist.
What he did not expect was that Chuge was among them.
Ribbit!
The arrival of the players had attracted the Sharp Claw Fire Toad’s attention. It croaked angrily and jumped toward the players rushing into the black mist.
And perhaps Jiang Feng was very unlucky. One of the Sharp Claw Fire Toads noticed him and jumped toward him.
“Damn it! Why must they come here at a time like this! Are they trying to kill me?!”
When Jiang Feng saw what was happening, he swung the Chengying Sword in his hand and used his Phantom Slayer Mysticism.
In the next moment, many phantasmal Chengying Swords appeared and several of the phantasms shot toward the eyes of the Sharp Claw Fire Toad as green light shone all around.
That was the Mysticism that came together with the Chengying Sword. It could create illusory swords of light. If one were to look directly into it, they would not be able to open their eyes. He could then attack them the instant that the enemies closed their eyes.
“Go!”
However, Jiang Feng did not choose to attack it, instead he ran deeper into the mist.
Killing the monster was not his primary aim here. The most important thing was for him to get the Pre-Creation Spiritual Treasure first.
At this stage, Li’er and he were the first ones to reach this place. As long as they could reach where the Pre-Creation Spiritual Treasure would be spawned first, they could then have a greater chance of getting it.
“You thief!”
But what Jiang Feng did not know was that when he used the Phantom Slayer mysticism, its radiance had lighted up the area within the black mist.
When Chuge rushed into the black mist, he then looked at where Jiang Feng was at.
When he saw Jiang Feng and Li’er escaping into the darkness, his face turned grim as he called out to them. He did not care about the Sharp Claw Fire Toad that was attacking him, but instead quickly pursued Jiang Feng.
When Jiang Feng heard Chuge’s voice, he turned around and gave him a quick look.
When he saw Chuge chasing after him, he slightly frowned but did not pay him any attention and quickly ran deeper inside.
***
Squawk!
Outside the black mist, a giant eagle let out a loud screech as it glided across the air.
Many of the players outside the black mist heard the screech and they all looked into the air.
“It’s Xiran! 17th on the Tianji Leaderboard! I didn’t expect her to come here! Looks like the Pre-Creation Spiritual Treasure is going to be hers again!”
“I heard that she was originally not on the Tianji Leaderboard, but she was lucky enough to get the last Pre-Creation Spiritual Treasure when it was born, and managed to climb up to number 17th on the Tianji Leaderboard!”
“Haha! That means that it’s not for a certainty that those who are powerful would get the Pre-Creation Spiritual Treasure! It is all up to luck! I am quite lucky, I will get the Pre-Creation Spiritual Treasure this time!”
…
Roar!
Just when a group of players was discussing Xiran, a tiger roar could be heard.
Far away, a little boy with silver hair and a tail riding on a horned tiger slowly walked over.
“It’s Shaoqiu. Ranked 9 on the Tianji Leaderboard. I didn’t expect that he would be here too! It’s going to be good this time!”
“It’s a gathering of the elites. Even if I don’t get the Pre-Creation Spiritual Treasure, it’s worth it just being able to see all these famous people!”
“How I wish I could become the disciple of one of the elites on the Tianji Leaderboard!”
…
As more and more players arrived, so did the top players from the Tianji Leaderboard make their appearance.
