Chapter 262 Searching for the Exploration Team's Trail



"Tsk, we haven't gotten to the important stuff yet."

Ning Hongchen's angry and embarrassed reaction made Su Bai guess what was going on, and the smile on his face became somewhat subtle.

He then sent messages to the other people.

The result went smoothly.

All three have arrived at Sin Village and triggered their respective opportunities.

Among them, Su Siyao and Jiu Ming had the same experience. They encountered a forbidden magician who had been expelled from the academy, and they became his disciples, beginning their journey of cultivating forbidden magic.

However, the two received different professorships.

What Jiuming received was the knowledge inheritance of the forbidden magician regarding the 'fusion' school.

Su Siyao, on the other hand, completely inherited the mantle of the forbidden magician.

He switched to a hidden class and began learning 'Origin' magic.

Su Bai didn't know much about this.

However, it is said that it was a choice made freely by the two of them, and perhaps in their view, the school of thought they each chose was the most suitable for them.

Squid encountered a fallen blood elf who was considered the source of blasphemy.

There were also gains.

They were all quite lucky.

Opportunities related to the inheritance of power are always the most precious in games.

Equipment and treasures are ultimately just external things.

Only the power that is integrated into oneself can form the foundation of one's strength.

After learning about the current situation, Su Bai pulled the group together and brought up the matter of the Lost City tickets.

They all readily agreed.

Ning Hongchen, in particular, was so happy to hear that he could leave this awful place that he almost jumped for joy.

Although it's only temporary.

...

Besides the four tickets in Su Bai's hand.

The other sixteen tickets for the outer area are basically under Liu Er's control.

In other words...

Su Bai has already grasped the whereabouts of all twenty tickets in the outer area.

He doesn't need to waste his ticket to try; Liu Er sends him the exact safe time every day.

He can simply sit back and enjoy the fruits of others' labor.

It's still early.

Su Bai then selected a squad of ten Templar Knights.

We set off to explore the east.

Although he has been working there for over a month, he has never been to the area that borders the north and east.

When the team arrived in this land.

Su Bai only then realized it.

At this time, the extent to which the eastern region was polluted by the deathly aura was far more severe than what he had seen in later generations.

Vast swathes of dead trees were twisted and contorted, the ground was scorched and dark red, barren of vegetation, and riddled with jagged cracks.

A faint gray-black smoke billowed from the cracks, rising into the sky and forming a thick, persistent gray fog.

Even sunlight cannot penetrate through.

barren,

Dead silence

And it's cold.

This was the first impression Su Bai had.

Despite it being the height of summer, the temperature in this area was nearing freezing, and the breath exhaled by the people was already condensing into wisps of white mist.

"My lord, we've discovered clues left behind by the previous exploration team!"

A Templar Knight called out from afar.

Everyone rushed over.

Not far into the dead forest, in a sheltered spot, you can see the traces of a campfire and some messy footprints, but there are no signs of fighting or injury.

Su Bai bent down and picked up a piece of charcoal that had cooled down.

"It seems that they entered the dead forest from this direction. They did not encounter any danger before entering, so perhaps the danger came from inside the dead forest."

He pondered to himself.

The exploration team that was sent out earlier also included ten level 30 bronze warriors.

In the area surrounding Fallen Dragon Island.

This is basically a force that can move about with impunity.

Unless you encounter a boss monster or another player, but even if you encounter the former, you won't be left without a chance to escape.

"keep going."

Su Bai climbed onto the wolf's back and led the team slowly into the withered forest.

"Such a strong aura of evil!"

Upon entering the withered forest, the Templar Knights' armor automatically emitted a glow, keeping out the gray mist that permeated the forest.

The Templars in the squad all looked serious, and one of them pointed to a certain spot in the woods.

"My lord, there is an extremely powerful evil force in that direction!"

"Let's go take a look."

Su Bai immediately replied.

This is precisely why he led a team of Templar Knights to explore.

They are units that believe in the light, and are inherently opposed to the undead attribute symbolized by death energy. They can sense the presence of enemies without even having to actively explore.

In addition, their senses have another function.

Su Bai looked down thoughtfully.

This will cause the Templar Knights' equipment to automatically react with magic, proving that the death energy in this area is quite abundant, which happens to be one of the conditions for determining whether there is a magic crystal vein...

Could it be that...

Beneath this withered forest might lie a vein of magic crystals with the attribute of death.

The properties of magic crystal ore are irrelevant; the role of the energy core is to convert energy crystals of different properties into usable pure energy.

Neither the Death attribute nor the Holy attribute matters.

The only difference is that workers need to prepare additional protective measures when mining.

To avoid being eroded and assimilated by the death energy.

As we delve deeper...

Su Bai could already clearly feel the effects of the death energy in the environment on himself.

[Warning: You are being corrupted by the aura of death. If the corruption becomes too severe, it may cause irreversible and serious damage!]

[Current level of death energy erosion: 1%!]
