Chapter 370 "Golden Dream Demon Thread"

This happened in the very distant past.

It is impossible to find out exactly how long ago it was because of the historical gap.

People now only know that in order to stop the phantom demons from coming to the world from the Chaos Demon Cave, humans established Tianfeng City.

In other words, when the Chaos Cave appeared, Tianfeng City had not yet been established.

At that time, the real world and the Demonic Prison seemed to have just been connected, and humans and phantom demons officially clashed on this land, starting a racial war.

As the largest entrance to the Demon Prison at that time and now, the Chaos Demon Cave undoubtedly poses the greatest and most deadly threat to the human world.

In order to resist the phantom demons that came from the Chaos Demon Cave to the human world, the humans who had just gained extraordinary powers fought bravely without fear of death.

The final result was that the Chaos Cave was sealed by forbidden magic. In order to guard the Chaos Cave, humans established the base city of Tianfeng in the human area closest to the Chaos Cave. Tianfeng City gradually gained a transcendent status and became a holy place for mankind.

"At that time, the seal of the Chaos Demon Cave was still intact. The phantom demons of the Spirit Demon Prison could not invade the world through the Chaos Demon Cave, which was the entrance to the Spirit Demon Prison. As a result, Tianfeng City entered a period of rapid development. Many powerful people and many family forces emerged in a blowout manner."

In front of everyone in the tent, Xu Xiayan began to tell the secret.

"At that time, Tianfeng City was still a feudal country, and the royal family was also established there. As the left and right arms of the royal family, our Wang family has always been protecting the royal family. While protecting the royal family, we also protect Tianfeng City, allowing humans who have experienced the dark period before the Chaos Demon Cave was sealed to recuperate."

Precisely because of the Wang family’s former special status, the Wang family’s library actually contains many ancient books that other clans do not have, as well as historical records from many long years ago.

Xu Xiayan was familiar with the history of that period, so she told everyone about it without any hesitation.

"If we can continue like that, then humanity will surely grow stronger in a very short period of time. Tianfeng City will also have enough power to guard the Chaos Demon Cave while investing the excess power inland to assist other base cities in resisting and expelling the phantom demons on land."

In that case, perhaps, sooner or later, the phantom demons may really be driven out of the land where humans live, and they can only return to the Demon Prison or enter the ocean area, otherwise they may be conquered.

Unfortunately, the good times didn’t last long.

"In the Spirit Demon Prison, a terrifying existence noticed the present world and the entrance to the Chaos Demon Cave, and launched an invasion of the present world."

That was the King of the Demonic Prison who had once devastated all living things on earth and turned it into hell. He was a being who stood at the pinnacle of the Phantom Demon race and had already evolved to the end point - the "Terrible Species".

Such an existence is already above billions of living beings.

Such an existence is already beyond the reach of even the seven-star professionals.

Even in the Demonic Prison, there will never be more than three such beings.

But it was this terrifying existence that launched the most terrifying invasion in history into the human world.

"It used its right hand, which contained boundless power, to tear open the seal of the Chaos Demon Cave. It then used its left hand, which could instantly kill all life, to devour the earth. Finally, it crushed Tianfeng City, which was guarding the front line."

"Countless heroes and strong men of mankind gathered together to resist the "king". However, no matter whether they were hit directly by high-level spiritual arts or pierced by sub-artifact-level alchemical weapons, it never stopped ravaging them. With a heart that could constantly repair its body and recover from its injuries, it crushed the entire human race with its own strength."

"In the end, mankind had no choice but to fight a desperate battle. They gathered the strongest group of heroes and stopped the king of the Demon Prison at the border of the continent. They paid a great price and used forbidden techniques to cut off the king's arms and dig out the king's heart, making it no longer invincible and without endless power. Only then did they successfully seal it."

Xu Xiayan said in a deep voice and looked around at everyone present.

"With this battle alone, the royal family was completely destroyed, and humans also lost many strong men. Although Tianfeng City was rebuilt, the seal of the Chaos Demon Cave was torn once, so it has defects."

This is why there are gaps in the seal of the Chaos Demon Cave, and why many phantom demons have still come into the world through the Chaos Demon Cave over the years.

Even if the seal was barely maintained, blocking the way of those truly powerful beings, making it impossible for the horror species to reappear in the world, and even the nightmare species had difficulty coming over from the other side of the Chaos Demon Cave, the Spirit Demon Prison could no longer invade the world on a large scale. However, large-scale invasions were impossible, and small-scale invasions like boiling a frog in warm water were always happening.

Over the years, phantom demons have been coming from the other side of the Chaos Demon Cave, causing their number to increase and decrease, barely maintaining a balance. Various strange places have also appeared one after another around Tianfeng City under the influence of the Chaos Demon Cave, forming one special area after another.

Now, so many years have passed, and many of the phantom demons that came to the human world have evolved. Some have evolved into dangerous species, and some have evolved into nightmare species. They each occupy a strange land and become the king of their own.

Although Tianfeng City has been trying every means to maintain the seal of the Chaos Cave, the defects of the seal cannot be remedied and the gap still exists.

"Some people among humans have suggested that we should re-seal it, but if we want to use a forbidden-level seal, we must sacrifice many of the strongest people at the pinnacle of humanity."

"Even if a being of that level is willing to sacrifice himself, the human leaders will not agree to it."

"Unless it is absolutely necessary and we encounter a real crisis, otherwise, losing so many strong people just to repair some gaps in the seal is not worth it."

To put it bluntly, those strong men standing at the pinnacle of humanity are each and every one of them, the true trump cards that humans use to fight against the phantom demons. The loss of one can cause serious damage to the entire human race, let alone more than one.

If the seal is completely broken, there is really no other way and we will have to bear the pain and accept the sacrifice.

But the seal has not been completely broken, there is only a small gap, so it is not worth it for the human strongmen to do so.

"So, the top leaders of Tianfeng City have to find a way to repair the seal of the Chaos Demon Cave every once in a while. They don't ask for a complete repair of the seal, but only hope that the gap will not increase and that more phantom demons, even the strongest phantom demons, will not appear in the world."

"This period of time is about once every sixty years."

"Every sixty years, Tianfeng City must repair the seal, which means maintaining the seal of the Chaos Demon Cave."

Xu Xiayan explained the reason for everything here.

“And next year will be the sixtieth year until the next maintenance.”

In view of this, Tianfeng City has been making preparations since this year.

"If we want to repair the seal, we not only need the assistance and technical support of the elders of the Warlock Guild, but also many special supernatural items to assist us."

"Some of these extraordinary items are alchemical tools, and some are natural treasures."

"Alchemy tools are easy to deal with. This is not the first time that Tianfeng City has carried out seal maintenance work. All the tools used in the past have been left behind."

But some special natural treasures are more difficult to deal with.

"These natural treasures are all extremely precious and rare."

"Even in a resource treasury like Tianfeng City, some of the products are out of stock and need to be found again. At the very least, we need to find substitutes."

"For this purpose, Tianfeng City has actually prepared a lot of commissions, some of which are entrusted to some big families, some to some big forces, and some to some big teams."

At this point, Xu Xiayan's words were already very clear and easy to understand.

"That is to say, Captain Xu's 'Summer Chasing Smoke' received such a commission, right?"

Qiao Liang looked at Xu Xiayan and said this.

"That's right." Xu Xiayan smiled slightly and said, "This is the origin of our SS-level mission this time, and it is also what we are going to do next."

According to Xu Xiayan, among the commissions issued by Tianfeng City, some were only B-level, some were S-level, and only a few could reach SS-level.

"Summer Chasing Smoke" accepted one of the few SS-level missions.

"Among the extraordinary items needed to repair the seal, there is an extremely rare and precious treasure."

As he spoke, Xu Xiayan stood up and operated a few times on the screen set up in the deepest part of the tent, causing an image to appear on the screen.

It was a three-dimensional image of a treasure.

"Wire?"

Zhu Qian murmured in surprise.

Yes.

The treasures that appeared on the screen were very thin silk threads.

Read the error-free version on 6Ⅹ9Ⅹ bookⅩ bar! 6Ⅹ9 book bar first publishes a novel.

The silk threads are dreamy, like disembodied light, floating gently like flowing water.

Looking at the golden streams on the screen, everyone started talking.

“What a beautiful treasure!”

"What kind of line is this?"

"It looks like the sunlight has condensed into thin threads. It's so beautiful."

"Just based on its appearance, even if it is not a treasure, there will be countless people willing to spend a lot of money to buy it for appreciation and collection, right?"

Everyone was amazed at this.

Lian Chi Qian couldn't help but look at her a few more times. There was a faint light flowing in his eyes, which made Su Ming feel a little amused.

Xu Xiayan seemed to have anticipated everyone's reactions. She smiled and began to introduce herself.

"Golden Dream Demon Thread is an extremely rare treasure. It looks like a series of thin threads condensed from sunlight, like flowing water. However, it can only be produced in extremely dark places with abundant demonic energy and no light at all throughout the year."

Xu Xiayan operated the screen again, causing text like an explanation to appear around the image of the treasure.

"This kind of golden dream demon thread not only has strict requirements for the breeding environment, but also only one thread is born every ten years. It is not until a hundred years have passed and ten threads are born that this treasure is considered to be formed."

In a nutshell, this is a treasure that only appears once every hundred years. You can imagine how precious and rare it is.

Perhaps, even compared with the Dragon Demon Saliva and the Purple Snow Slurry, this Golden Dream Demon Thread is a priceless treasure of the same level.

"Its function is also very simple. It can be used to refine battle uniforms, alchemical armor, and some alchemical weapons. For example, the beloved bow of the Zhang family young master. The bowstring of that bow is said to be made of a thread-like treasure similar to the golden dream demon thread, but it is not as rare and precious as the golden dream demon thread."

"In addition, some top-grade or even divine alchemical potions may also use it as the main ingredient."

"Its uses are very extensive, and therefore its value is very high. It is a precious alchemical material that countless alchemists desire but cannot obtain."

Xu Xiayan's explanation was quite detailed and easy to understand, allowing people to immediately understand the preciousness and uniqueness of this golden dream demon thread.

Of course , "For Tianfeng City, this golden dream demon thread has another important function, which is to cooperate with the warlocks of the Warlock Guild to spiritually mend the gaps in the seal of the Chaos Demon Cave, fill part of the gap, or prevent it from expanding."

After saying this, Xu Xiayan looked around at everyone present again.

"For this reason, I organized everyone to enter the Midnight Labyrinth together and come to the tenth floor."

What this implies is clear at a glance.

"I see." Chi Qian whispered, "Is the Golden Dream Demon Thread on the tenth floor of this Midnight Labyrinth?"

"Yes." Xu Xiayan nodded heavily and said, "The environment on the tenth floor of this Midnight Labyrinth is one of the few places in the world that can meet the conditions for the birth of the Golden Silk Dream Demon Line."

This is the result obtained by the relevant departments of Tianfeng City after rigorous and complex calculations.

They believed that there was a very high possibility that the golden dream demon thread would appear on the tenth level of this polar night maze.

Therefore, they handed this SS-level commission to "Xia Ri Zhu Yan", and let "Xia Ri Zhu Yan", an A-level team with S-level team strength, enter the Polar Night Maze to find the Golden Dream Demon Line.

But "If you are only here to search for treasures on the tenth floor, then you don't need to hire so many powerful teams to assist you, 'Summer Chasing Smoke', right?"

"That's what I thought."

Qiao Zhi and Zhu Yun, the second-in-command of the two A-level teams, both expressed their ideas.

They are right.

It was just a treasure hunt, Xu Xiayan's team was fully capable of the task, so why bother hiring so many teams to help? Even if they needed help, they wouldn't have to look for teams like Jinlong Yuge and Tieqiangwei.

It would be a waste of resources for Xu Xiayan to gather combat power like this without using it to fight.

This is also true.

"It would be nice if it were that simple."

Xu Xiayan sighed.

"Didn't you notice that this tenth floor is different from the previous floors? There's not even a single phantom demon to be seen?"

Hearing this, everyone was stunned.

"really."

Su Ming narrowed his eyes and said secretly in his heart.
