Hearing Yuanshi Tianzun's words, all the companions around looked over in an instant. The fierce battle of the Saint-level contestants lost its appeal at this moment.
Yuanshi is entering a solo instance.
Ling Jun, Guan Ya, the Queen, and the White Tiger Guards, were first excited. After all, everyone was curious about the difficulty level of Yuanshi Tianzun's second solo Spirit Realm.
Moreover, there was another factor involved.
--If Yuanshi Tianzun can accumulate more than 50% of his experience points before the Slaughter Instance arrives, then his chances of passing the Slaughter Instance and advancing to Saint-level will be greatly enhanced.
You must know that those who dare to enter the Slaughter Instance are basically the best among Level 3s.
A group of strong players thrown into a large instance to fight each other, if Yuanshi Tianzun is targeted, the situation will be very bad. Many ants can kill an elephant.
Therefore, having more strength before the Slaughter Instance opens means more security. Solo instances can bring experience point growth and item rewards, greatly enhancing Yuanshi Tianzun's combat power.
Guan Ya and Li Dongze, a few scouts, keenly discerned the abnormality from Zhang Yuanqing's tone and expression.
No way... They were startled in their hearts.
It wouldn't be an S-level instance again, would it? If that were the case, they would have to worry about another issue: Yuanshi Tianzun's entrepreneurial efforts ending prematurely...
Fu Qingyang frowned slightly, "Another S-level?"
Everyone silently gazed at Yuanshi Tianzun, waiting for his response.
Zhang Yuanqing silently counted the time and replied:
"It's an A-level."
A-level... Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, then heard him add:
"The Spirit Realm is called 'Aphonia Village.' It's not in the walkthroughs."
A Spirit Realm not in the walkthroughs... Fu Qingyang narrowed his eyes. When this happens, either the Taiyi Sect hasn't included it, or it's like the Yu Ling Tunnel, where the first clear is still unclaimed.
In either case, it means that Yuanshi's entry into the Spirit Realm this time is like a blind man crossing a river, groping his way forward.
And with the danger level of an A-level Spirit Realm, without a walkthrough... Let's just say, clearing an A-level instance for the first time requires a lot of deaths.
Clearing an S-level instance, a lot.
"Too unlucky..." the Queen murmured.
Guan Ya's beautiful face changed slightly, and she frowned.
Li Dongze slapped his forehead.
Since recruiting Yuanshi Tianzun, every time this kid enters an instance, it's a challenge of cardiac overload for him, the squad leader. But the White Tiger Guards behind Fu Qingyang looked at each other, their expressions solemn.
They had encountered very few A-levels in the Extraordinary stage, and each time it was a close call, and that was with a walkthrough. Without a walkthrough, the mortality rate exceeds 70%.
This Yuanshi Tianzun, every time he goes down to an instance, it's a matter of life and death.
"Not much time..." Zhang Yuanqing silently counted the time, glanced at everyone, and said:
"Wish me luck, everyone!
"Return."
His figure immediately disappeared from Guan Ya and the others' sight.
The picture went from blurred to clear, Zhang Yuanqing returned to his room. Time was limited, he didn't delay at all, lunged at the bedside table, poured seven or eight blue pills into his pocket, then opened the desk drawer and took out the King of Cats speaker.
Finally, he ran wildly to the wardrobe, opened the door, and pressed on Undead No. 1's shoulder.
A Night Wanderer's solo Spirit Realm can bring Yin corpses. Zhang Yuanqing obtained the answer by searching the forum.
According to the Taiyi Sect's explanation, Yin corpses are an extension of the Night Wanderer's abilities, similar to the nature of Spirit Servants.
In the Spirit Realm's judgment, it belongs to props or puppets, not a person.
Therefore, it can be brought into a solo Spirit Realm.
His hand was on the Yin corpse's shoulder for only a few seconds before the scenery of the bedroom appeared ripple-like fluctuations, and then completely blurred.
In the arena, after watching Yuanshi Tianzun return, Fu Qingyang immediately got up, grabbed a azure blue cloak, and draped it over his shoulders.
Whoosh~
The cloak fluttered in the wind, and a vortex of air lifted Fu Qingyang into the air, floating towards the Elder's seat.
He stepped on the vortex of air with his posture straight, and behind him was the unfolded cloak, like a Superman in a movie, extremely eye-catching.
Fu Qingyang's movement caused the audience who were originally watching the battle with great interest to...
"Hey, what does Young Master Qian want to do?"
"It seems that he has important information to report to the elders.."
One...
"Ask the White Tiger Guards."
Dog Elder retracted his gaze, turned to Fu Qingyang, scrutinized him for a few seconds, and said in a deep voice, "What's wrong?"
Although Fu Qingyang always maintained a poker face, Dog Elder saw seriousness in his eyes.
Several elders around either looked over at the sound or listened attentively.
Fu Qingyang said concisely:
"Yuanshi Tianzun entered the instance, just now."
Dog Elder combined the expression of his trusted subordinates, and his heart moved, "Entered an S-level again?"
When asking this question, Dog Elder's mood was very complicated, unable to distinguish whether it was expectation or bad news.
Fu Qingyang shook his head, "A-level, Aphonia Village."
A-level... The surrounding elders heard it in their ears, and while relieved, they were also a little disappointed.
On the one hand, an A-level instance should not be difficult for Yuanshi Tianzun. On the other hand, if Yuanshi Tianzun could clear the S-level three times in the Extraordinary stage, then his Extraordinary record would exceed that of the female marshal.
Becoming the most dazzling figure in the Extraordinary stage in the history of the Five Elements Alliance.
At this time, Elder Sun frowned and said, "Aphonia Village? I don't remember the Taiyi Sect's database having this instance. Hongying, do you remember?"
As an elder, he knew the walkthroughs for the Extraordinary, Saint, and Sovereign stages in the sect's database like the back of his hand.
The intellectual and gentle Red Luan Elder shook her head slightly:
"Never heard of it..."
She immediately thought of something, and her expression became serious:
"Could it be an un-cleared instance, or an A-level that the Taiyi Sect hasn't included."
Hearing this, the elders who were originally lacking interest all cast their gazes at the same time.
Instance walkthroughs are the foundation of official organizations and an important means of recruiting talents.
The official high-level attitude towards instance walkthroughs is always the more the better.
Dog Elder finally understood why Fu Qingyang looked serious. Yuanshi Tianzun was going pioneering.
"It's actually an instance that the Taiyi Sect hasn't included..." Elder Sun and Elder Zhao's eyes suddenly lit up. Regardless of whether it's an un-cleared instance or not, as long as it's not in the Taiyi Sect's database, it has great value.
The Armored Swordsman stroked the hilt of his saber and pondered:
"With Yuanshi Tianzun's level, the probability of passing the A-level is extremely high, no need to worry. On the contrary..."
A smile appeared on his dignified face:
"How much money are you Taiyi Sect going to spend to buy the walkthrough?"
Elder Hongying said solemnly:
"If Yuanshi Tianzun can clear the A-level instance, the Taiyi Sect will definitely buy it, you set the price."
Elder Sun and Elder Zhao did not refute.
"Interesting," one of the Five Elements Alliance elders smiled, "I remember Yuanshi Tianzun has been supplementing walkthroughs for our Five Elements Alliance's database since the Yu Ling Tunnel. Clearing these kinds of things has to be done by top geniuses."
"Yes, this is another A-level instance walkthrough."
At the same time, the news of Yuanshi Tianzun entering the instance spread rapidly among the audience.
"What? Yuanshi Tianzun entered the instance, and he's going pioneering?"
"He actually matched an instance that's not in the Taiyi Sect's database, too unlucky."
"He's cleared S-levels, so A-levels should be no problem. An Extraordinary stage instance will take at most a day to clear. Ah, I really want to know the result."
The competition on the arena suddenly became less appealing.
···
Overcast sky, weak sunlight filtered through thin clouds, bringing dim light to the dilapidated mountain village, and an unspeakable depression.
Zhang Yuanqing stood at the entrance of the village, looking around.
In front of him was a dead and dilapidated mountain village, behind him were black soil fields and silently standing mountains.
Beside him, was Undead No. 1, standing blankly.
The age of this village is difficult to determine. Stone houses, either high or low, extended to the end of the line of sight. The weathered tiles covered the ridge of the houses in a straight line.
At the entrance of the village, the path leading to the depths of the village was a rammed earth road, the kind that would become muddy on rainy days.
"Compared to the architectural style of Yin-Yang Town, this place seems much more eerie... But the more eerie and silent the place, the more comfortable I feel, it feels like coming home."
Zhang Yuanqing did not immediately enter the village. Before entering the instance, he needed to sort out his thoughts.
"The main task is to survive for 24 hours. The advantage of this kind of survival-oriented task is that it's very operational. Spirit Realm walkers entering the instance can move freely and are not restricted.
"The disadvantage is that there are very few hints. The Spirit Realm won't tell you what to do. Everything is discovered and explored by the 'players' themselves. And during the exploration, you may encounter a life-or-death crisis, just like when I was inexplicably possessed by the Shoulder-Sitting Wraith.
"According to the instance information, the biggest boss in the instance should be the woman in the ancient tomb. She came out with Wang Xiao'er..."
So I have to push the boss? Hmm, the real kind of push.
"This instance has two key figures, the female ghost in the ancient tomb and Wang Xiao'er. Let's go find Wang Xiao'er first, if he's still alive."
Thinking of this, Zhang Yuanqing took Undead No. 1 and entered the village along the rammed earth road.
Along the way, the houses in the village were mainly stone houses, rammed earth walls, and thatched huts. There was no greenery at the corners of the walls or on the roadside, only dead weeds and dried moss.
As he walked, Zhang Yuanqing suddenly realized that he was being watched.
He suddenly turned his head and saw a pair of eyes staring at him through the only square window on the wall of a rammed earth house on the left.
Seeing that it had been discovered, the pair of eyes quickly disappeared into the darkness.
"Is it a person or a ghost?"
Zhang Yuanqing immediately perked up. If it was a person, he could communicate. If it was a ghost, he would devour it. Either way, he could get information. What he feared most was being in a deserted place, not encountering anything for a long time, and then suddenly encountering a big boss around the corner.
He immediately went to the front of the rammed earth house. The front was a small courtyard. He stopped in front of the wooden door, raised his arm, and knocked on the door with his knuckles.
The dry, blackened wooden door made a "dong dong" sound under the knocking of his knuckles.
Zhang Yuanqing knocked for a long time, but the courtyard was quiet, and no one paid attention to him.
Then climb over the wall and go in... Zhang Yuanqing immediately controlled the Yin corpse to climb over the two-meter-high rammed earth wall and jump into the courtyard.
At the same time, he communicated with the brand in his sea of consciousness and entered the body of the Yin corpse.
Through the Yin corpse's vision, he glanced at the courtyard and saw a millstone, a woodpile, and a jujube tree.
Facing the courtyard door was the rammed earth house, and to the west was a simple hut. Zhang Yuanqing stepped to the hut and peeked in. It was a dry toilet.
"Dry toilet... The architectural style of the village should be northern. I remember reading in the textbook that the northern jujubes are sweet and sweet..."
Zhang Yuanqing guessed that Aphonia Village was a northern village. A college student his age, born in Songhai, was unfamiliar with the countryside, especially since Aphonia Village seemed to be very old. He couldn't see any modern things here.
No utility poles, no street lights, no bus stops, no solar panels...
After walking around the courtyard, he didn't delay and went straight to the rammed earth house and knocked on the door.
Still no response.
Zhang Yuanqing simply kicked the wooden door open. With a crash, dust rustled down, and the slightly heavy wooden door slammed on the ground, raising dust.
bidige.
The light in the room was dim, but it couldn't affect the Night Wanderer's vision. His gaze swept over the furnishings in the room one by one and settled on a white-haired old man.
The old man leaned against the wall, holding a hoe in his hand, staring at him in horror and guardedly.
"Old man."
Zhang Yuanqing tentatively asked in a low voice.
"Ah ah ah~"
The old man made a sound unique to the mute, waved the hoe a few times, and made a gesture of driving him away.
Can't speak?
Seeing the old man's reaction, Zhang Yuanqing understood the meaning of Aphonia Village.
If he can't speak, then the living people in the village are worthless. Should I kill him and ask the spirits? Anyway, it's just an NPC in the Spirit Realm, and it should refresh... This thought flashed through Zhang Yuanqing's mind, but was immediately rejected.
The old man's expression and demeanor were no different from ordinary people. He couldn't convince himself to kill an old man who seemed like an ordinary person.
Unless the old man turned into a monster surrounded by resentment in the next second.
"Old man, can you write?" Zhang Yuanqing asked again.
But the old man didn't pay attention to him at all, and kept waving the hoe, making "ah ah" sounds of threat.
Okay, Zhang Yuanqing gave up.
Although the old man couldn't communicate, his existence was a clue in itself. The woman in the ancient tomb didn't slaughter the village, so it doesn't seem so dangerous... He ignored the old man's threat, walked around the room, didn't gain anything, and returned to the outer room, asking:
"Old man, do you know where Wang Ergou lives?"
The old man was very stubborn and ignored him.
Zhang Yuanqing was in trouble, he racked his brains, thought about it, and came up with an idea. He picked up a bench and scolded:
"What the hell are you, I'm asking you where Wang Ergou lives, just say it, if you keep acting tough, do you believe I'll cut your head and let you fart." Three
When the old man heard this, he pointed the hoe to the west. "Okay, goodbye old man!" Zhang Yuanqing threw the bench and left the house.
Coming to the courtyard, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of a way to get instance information.
King of Cats speaker!
If the instance he entered was one that the Demon Lord had cleared, then according to the Demon Lord's style, he would definitely record it with the King of Cats speaker.
No, even if it wasn't recorded, as long as the King of Cats speaker had entered this place, it would definitely know some information.
The King of Cats speaker seals the soul of the King of Cats, it is a prop with its own will and can be communicated with.
It will actively record some things.
Just like in Jinshui Amusement Park, this guy once revealed information about the Three Dao Mountain Lady, but no one was recording at that time.
.......
ps: I spent a long time writing the instance outline today.
