Chapter 163: The Abyss and the Sky
The setting sun is blood-red and the wild grass is desolate.
A figure flashed by in a ruined city wall, and he lightly touched the wreckage of the building with his toes, then leaped dozens of meters and landed silently.
Finally, the figure stopped under a towering stone wall. It was Zhang Yang, who had been lurking for several days and once he succeeded, he immediately fled hundreds of miles away.
But he did not hide in the deep mountains and forests, but instead found the ruins of a human city near a large settlement of Mirage Demons.
The two were less than 30 miles apart, and one could even easily smell the stench emanating from the demon settlement.
Being here can increase the chance of being discovered by the Mirage Demons, but at the same time, it is also easy to avoid being hunted down by the angry and mad red-skinned monsters.
Zhang Yang didn't know whether the red-skinned monster could recognize his human identity through the soul force field, but the way he released the soul force field to activate the jade-like wooden spear's attack could not be concealed no matter what.
As long as his soul force field is locked by the red-skinned monster again, he will definitely be identified.
It is based on this point that Zhang Yang made this choice.
In addition to this, he had another purpose, which was to try to decipher the language system of the Mirage Clan demons.
The Wei Dynasty never had the opportunity, nor the ability to understand this centuries-old enemy. As a man who likes to plan before taking action and occasionally pretends to be a reckless man, Zhang Yang naturally would not miss this opportunity.
After all, although the Tianliang Mountain Great Wall intercepted the Mirage Clan's demon army, the larger demon army also blocked the human race's way into its heartland.
After clearing an area, Zhang Yang sat down next to the stone wall. In the distance, the conversations of the demons could be heard like the croaking of frogs. They lived happily in the huge swamp, but at the edge of the swamp, they also built densely packed low nests, and the Fish Mouth Fortress was the outermost one.
Zhang Yang deeply suspected that the swamp was to the Mirage Clan demons what the prime locations in the city were to humans. Only the lower-level demons would live on the shore, while those with status would hide in the deepest part of the swamp.
With this imagination in mind, he clicked on the golden scale to check the specific gains of this ambush.
Now, he is very eager to break through to the level of transcendence. In the past, when he was sniping those aliens with the strength of the Foundation Establishment Stage on the third-sequence battlefield, he did not feel much pressure. After all, with Zhao Xianyu as the MT standing in front, he only needed to act suddenly and output the maximum damage in an instant to ensure a kill with one shot.
But this time, Zhang Yang felt the pressure deeply.
The red-skinned monster was probably at the foundation-building stage, but after so many of his powers had been wasted and he was even seriously injured, his extraordinary strength of four attributes A+ that he was so proud of was forced to flee in disgrace.
This taught him a truth: it is possible to kill monsters above your level, as long as there is a big guy to protect you, or there is a unique environment that allows you to complete the maximum critical strike in one second.
In addition, the level crushing will be so ruthless and cruel.
So what if all four attributes are A+? In front of the extraordinary, they are no different from ordinary soldiers.
At this moment, when Zhang Yang placed the plundered level 15 immortal soul on one end of the golden scale, a strange phenomenon suddenly appeared, a colorful light flashed, and the eighth trading mode was finally activated.
But when the colorful light disappeared, he almost got so angry that his nose became crooked, because there were actually 10,000 first-grade foundation-building pills on it.
Yes, it is the first-grade foundation-building pill that will be exchanged in the fourth trading mode.
This is too much of a joke.
Zhang Yang once thought that as long as he took the first-grade foundation-building pill, he would be able to start the mission of building a fairy village. However, later facts proved that he was just overthinking.
Because in the last month, last day and last hour of the twentieth year of the fantasy village building mission, he boldly took the first-grade foundation-building pill that he had exchanged in his early years. As a result, apart from making his spleen and stomach feel more smooth, it had no effect at all.
Oh, and that appalling intro.
What—you obtained a first-grade foundation-building pill.
How to use: Take it and circulate it with magic power to form a circulation of energy.
Friendly reminder: Due to the special nature of the item, taking it will trigger a forced job change task. Please do not use it during the village construction task, otherwise you will be at your own risk.
Look, what a horrifying description.
Zhang Yang withdrew the level 15 immortal soul in great anger. He would never exchange it even if he died.
A level 15 immortal soul! The immortal soul of an immortal cultivator in the foundation-building stage is only a level 1 immortal soul.
"Well, this is not right. Although Golden Balance is the world's number one profiteer, when has he ever lied to anyone?"
Zhang Yang changed his mind and took out 20 white fragments of hope and placed them on the golden scale. This price was just enough to exchange for a first-grade foundation-building pill.
After thinking carefully for a few seconds, he decided to exchange it. When he took it out and looked at it, yes, it was still the kind of scary introduction. He swallowed it casually, and sure enough, there was not even a fart.
It just tastes great.
"Exchange again."
He put in another 20 pieces of white hope fragments, and the result was another first-grade foundation-building pill.
"This exchange rate is wrong. I would rather use 200,000 white hope fragments to exchange for 10,000 first-grade foundation-building pills than waste a level 15 immortal soul."
Thinking of this, Zhang Yang took the third first-grade foundation-building pill.
"Exchange again!"
He put in another 20 pieces of white hope fragments, and then a horrifying scene appeared.
Because, the first-grade foundation-building pill no longer appeared on the golden scale, but was replaced by another item.
"I guess this is weird! I knew it, there are countless talented people in the world, there must be some guinea pigs willing to take the first-grade foundation-building pill, but there was no result. It's obvious that this is a trap, an extremely clever trap."
"No matter who it is, if they exchange three first-grade foundation-building pills at once, and find that they only strengthen the body after taking them, well, in fact, they can improve the body of ordinary people, and longevity is not a problem. However, this is still a long way from becoming an immortal, especially the misleading instructions, which is simply a pitfall!"
"So, this shocking introduction is actually true? But the prerequisite is to take 10,000 first-grade foundation-building pills. Damn, I just exchanged them, so what?"
Zhang Yang thought with gritted teeth, in fact, he had no choice but to exchange it, because although this level 15 immortal soul was very good and could increase all attributes by +5, it could not be used to improve the extraordinary level.
A+ is the maximum limit, unless he is above extraordinary.
For example, the dozen or so level 1 immortal souls he had obtained before all had +2 in all attributes, and he used them to make up for the shortcomings of the four attributes.
This is undoubtedly a huge waste.
But there is no way, there is a threshold above the extraordinary, a threshold that is blocking people. Without taking 10,000 first-grade foundation-building pills, there is no way to get over it. And these 10,000 first-grade foundation-building pills have to be exchanged using the extremely expensive eighth exchange mode.
"Isn't it just cultivating a broken immortal? What's so great about that? Big brother, I was wrong."
Zhang Yang chose to exchange without saying a word. It was ten thousand first-grade foundation-building pills. He just sat there and threw the pills into his mouth one by one like eating broad beans. He was going all out today.
But before he could eat ten thousand pills, he only ate 999 pills. Suddenly, he felt his lower abdomen burning like a furnace. The heat quickly spread to his limbs and internal organs. He felt so comfortable that he felt like flying.
But it only lasted for a few seconds, and the stove suddenly turned into a volcano, and even more terrifying power erupted like a huge explosion. This was not just uncomfortable, but extremely painful, as if someone was slicing him into pieces with an electric saw and crushing him to pieces.
“Buzz!”
Zhang Yang's soul power automatically activated and merged with the explosive power in an instant. At this moment, the pain miraculously disappeared, but he also lost all his senses.
It was like he was floating. He looked up, but there was no head. However, he could see the bright starry sky. He looked down, and saw a figure lying on the ground. Before he could take a closer look, he was sucked back by a huge force, and all his senses returned.
At the same time, several lines of information are projected above your eyes.
"Warning: You have triggered the mandatory job transfer task. This task cannot be interrupted or canceled. If you cannot complete it within the time limit, your foundation building will fail, your meridians will be burned out, and you will die!"
“Task description (can be switched to Abyss Ghost Version//Abyss Demon Version/Sky Demon Version/Sky Human Version/, currently the Sky Human Version description): You are a pathetic ant, your life is short, your body is fragile, and your only advantage is a little soul fire. With this little soul fire, you can gradually move towards transcendence, but this is almost the limit of what you can achieve. If you want to continue to break through, you have to build a foundation!”
——
Seeing these two messages, Zhang Yang frowned, thought about it, and then started to switch to other versions.
Abyss Ghost Clan Version:
"You are a pathetic corpse fly, wandering like a puppet in the dark abyss all day long. Your only advantage is a little bit of Yin Qi and soul. With this little bit of Yin Qi and soul, you can gradually move towards transcendence, but this is almost the limit you can reach. If you want to continue to break through, you have to ignite the fire of Yin soul!"
Abyss Demon Version:
"You are a pathetic reptile, you are muddle-headed from birth to death. Your only advantages are your strong body and the ability to heal and reproduce quickly. With the help of your strong body, you can gradually become extraordinary, but this is almost the limit you can reach. If you want to continue to break through, you have to temper your demonic body!"
Sky Demon Clan Version:
"You are a pathetic beast. From birth to death, you are just a delicacy on other people's tables, an embellishment on their clothes, and a material for practitioners' elixirs and talismans. Your only advantage is your talent for being able to quickly and sensitively communicate with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. With the advantage of being able to communicate with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, you can gradually move towards transcendence, but this is almost the limit you can reach. If you want to continue to break through, you have to transform!"
——
Although Zhang Yang felt that this so-called mission description was a bit inappropriate and childish at first, he was deeply shocked after reading it, because he immediately realized that the Abyss Ghosts/Demons and Sky Monsters/Humans were the protagonists of the civilization struggle covered by the Village Building Order!
But these are not simply four races, but four major categories. For example, the Earth civilization must be classified as the Sky Human Race, but the Earth civilization is not the only human race.
"So, the human race can build a foundation, the ghost race can ignite the Yin soul, the demon race can temper the demon body, and the monster race can transform. Why does this feel more like four professions? Well, this is originally a mandatory job transfer task."
