Chapter 174 Heading towards the secret realm!
"...part of it, development rights?"
Russell's breathing suddenly became rapid when he heard General Mo Lin's promise.
Although Russell also wanted the extremely high reward he mentioned before, he didn't particularly care about it.
After all, relying on the "Cocoon of Evolution" talent, his pet beast can steadily improve even if he only uses some conventional cultivation materials.
Moreover, the business of Yu Chongwu is getting bigger and bigger, and Russell can still afford most of the materials after saving money.
If it were just for some rewards that could be purchased with credit points, he really wouldn't be willing to sacrifice his life.
The reason why Russell is willing to participate in this high-risk exploration of the secret realm is naturally to obtain the special rewards inside the secret realm.
The so-called secret realm of trials is both artificially created and has an entrance threshold, so those who challenge the secret realm will certainly not return empty-handed.
In addition, the Black Dew Secret Realm is an insect-type secret realm and may contain some insect-type resources that cannot be obtained through other channels, which makes it even more tempting for him.
However, after hearing that masters from the Fire Stealing Group had taken the lead in the secret realm and had cracked some areas, Russell really gave up.
Rare resources are indeed important, but...security is also important!
However, if the reward for this operation involves the right to use the secret realm, then the situation will be completely different.
After all, this is an official resource that no amount of money can buy!
Just like those who prospect in the current world do not directly own the mines, in the world of beast control, those who crack the secret realm do not directly become the master of the secret realm.
Large-scale strategic resources such as secret realms are usually forcibly taken back to the public.
This kind of law sounds unfair, but it actually protects the interests of most ordinary people, so the Beast Control Alliance has extremely strict control over secret realms and ruins.
Except for some ancient families who hoped to have a big business during the Shenting period, few individuals could participate in the development of large-scale resources.
Faced with the pressure of the Fire Stealing Group, the alliance officials are willing to share the development rights of part of the secret realm, which can be said to be a huge concession.
You know, the value of large-scale secret realms is much higher than that of mines.
Not to mention the resources in the secret realm, just a stable and controllable independent space is already an immeasurable wealth.
As long as the secret realm is completely cracked, combined with some space technology, and the gate of the secret realm is reset, it will basically be equivalent to the cave in the novel about cultivating immortals.
Whether you are breeding and cultivating inside, or simply moving to a secret place to live, you can enjoy a unique environment and ultra-high safety.
Although the Beast Mastering Alliance promises sharing, Russell will certainly not be allowed to monopolize the secret realm by himself, but large secret realms are often as big as small cities, and a small part of them is enough.
In addition, some long-term resources in the secret realm also mean a steady stream of credit points.
Take a small secret realm like the "Dreamweaver's Lair" as an example. If the Moon Demon Rabbit had not appeared, a little development would have greatly boosted the development of the surrounding areas.
Even if you don't delve deeply into the added value of the secret realm, you can simply use the spiritual attributes to develop a large meditation room. With the huge base of energy-outputting beasts, you can easily earn hundreds of millions of credits every year.
The Black Dew Secret Realm is linked to the entire forest where the black dew condenses. A slight leakage of energy can lead to the huge volume of the "Dream Weaver Nest" secret realm. It is enough to rebuild a city based on this.
Even if there is no city construction plan, as long as the control of the secret realm is seized, it is a certainty that the alliance officials will build some resource hubs or legion bases in this area.
Faced with this vast amount of resources and the opportunity to become a pioneer in the development of a region, how could Russell not be tempted.
.........
Just as Russell was weighing the pros and cons, Jiang Xue and Chen Yuan spoke first.
"Both of us are willing to continue the exploration mission."
Both of them only have one insect-type pet beast, but they are more determined than Russell.
After all, the vast majority of mid-level beastmasters are not qualified to serve as the main team to explore large-scale secret realms.
For ordinary people who do not have the incredible talent of "Cocoon of Evolution", such an opportunity is even more rare. If you miss it, you may really end up mediocre for the rest of your life.
To be able to occupy a place in the Longquan City Beast Control Alliance at such a young age, the two of them are obviously not the type without ambition.
Entering the Black Dew Secret Realm, regardless of whether they achieve results or not, is a very rare experience for them.
Seeing the high-spirited expressions of the two of them, Russell also felt a little ignited.
However, before deciding to continue the mission, he still asked his three pet beasts:
"It's a little dangerous, but the rewards will be a lot, shall we rush?"
After all, the pet beasts are the main force in exploring the secret realm. If they are scared, , it is not easy for the light beast master to move forward bravely.
Upon hearing Russell's question, a response quickly came from the beast-controlling space.
Huhu...
"Come! I have defeated the nasty big ghost. What are you afraid of!"
Sa——!
"I like a stronger opponent!"
Jiji...
"Xiao Qi can protect his master."
As he expected, the two militants Ayou and Daolang were eager to find someone to fight after they evolved. Xiao Qi It means that what Russell says is what it is, it only protects safety.
"I also choose to continue the mission."
With the strong support of the pet beast, Russell also expressed his willingness to continue fighting to General Mo Lin.
After all, this secret realm limited insect beasts to fight, which was almost equivalent to his home field. Even if the Fire Stealing Group had a certain advantage, he was still confident.
"Okay, you guys should rest first and adjust to the best condition as soon as possible. The alliance needs to completely clear away the hidden dangers around the camp."
Hearing this, General Mo Lin nodded with satisfaction, and then continued to command the work that was not yet completely over. Clearance action.
.........
At the same time, on top of a towering ancient tree in the Black Dew Forest, a member of the Fire Thieves Group wearing a black robe and almost shriveled into a skeleton was looking in the direction of the camp.
His eyes looked particularly strange, they were dark inside, but there was a little bit of light flowing in them.
Through this method similar to spiritual vision, the old man seemed to be able to see the situation in the camp one or two kilometers away.
For a long time, he sighed with some regret:
"It's a pity that the explorers found by the Beast Control Alliance arrived at the camp safely. We had insufficient intelligence and failed to intercept them successfully."
Next to the old man in black robe, another man looked very enchanting. The woman was leaning on a branch to touch up her makeup, not caring that her other companions in the forest were being captured by Alliance soldiers.
"Don't worry, Qiu'er's parasitic Gu has reached the late stage of the fourth level. He only needs to parasitize pet beasts of the same level, and his energy level can reach the fifth level. It is more than enough to deal with the newcomers of the Beast Control Alliance. You just need to remember your previous promise."
Seeing that the old man seemed worried about occupying the Black Dew Secret Realm, the woman smiled softly and said there was no need to worry at all. It is not difficult to tell from the woman's words that the beast master who entered the Black Dew Secret Realm in advance is her junior, and can exert a combat power of level five or above.
Moreover, it seems that they are not members of the Fire Stealing Group, but are here for the benefit of cracking the secret realm.
"Mrs. Tao, you are worrying too much. The old man's strength and strategy are inferior to yours. How dare you break your promise?"
Facing the distrustful look in the woman's eyes, the old man seemed to be very kind and nodded repeatedly, but in the name of his high-level shadow priest With his identity, the credibility of what he says is really limited.
However, the main force in exploring the secret realm was our own people, and the woman was considered to have the initiative, so she didn’t say much.
The two of them observed for a while and saw that the soldiers of the Beast Control Alliance were searching nearby. They jumped up and disappeared into the dense forest.
.........
After riding on the airship for several hours and experiencing another battle, Russell slept deeply that night.
Early the next morning, under the watchful eyes of a group of senior officials from the Beast Taming Alliance, he and two other teammates stood in front of a gray-yellow energy vortex rising from the mire.
As the vortex rotated, the white mist rose again, and then condensed into dew and fell on the nearby trees, grass and leaves, as well as everyone's coats.
Feeling the clear insect energy in the dew, Russell and the three beasts couldn't help but feel excited.
"Check your belongings and see if there is anything missing."
This operation was of great importance, and General Mo Lin, who was always concise and concise, also seemed a little nervous and gave detailed instructions to the people who were leaving.
"I've checked here several times, everything is fine."
After checking the items in the backpack again, Russell felt that he had brought everything he needed to bring.
In fact, it doesn't matter if he brings less daily necessities. His most important supplies, besides medicines, are earth mother crystals.
Yesterday, Russell was attacked by the shadow priest. He spent the energy of seven or eight Earth Mother crystals in one breath. He originally planned to rest for three days and wait for the energy to recover.
Fortunately, among the people General Mo Lin brought this time, there happened to be a high-level beast master who majored in the earth element.
With his help, all the Earth Mother crystals consumed yesterday were restored to full energy overnight.
"Okay, I won't say more. Stay safe and have a safe journey!"
Seeing the three people looking impatient, General Mo Lin didn't say any more. He just waved his hand and signaled several technicians to activate the secret realm with all their strength. A grayish-yellow swirl at the entrance.
All preparations were in place, and the three Russells were not restless people. After waving to the acquaintances around them, they walked into the Black Dew Secret Realm one after another.
.........
The entrances to secret realms are essentially space rifts, and the feeling of traveling through them is similar.
After experiencing the familiar feeling of crossing water, the scenery in front of Russell changed in an instant, from a sunny forest clearing to a desolate mountain range under a gray-black sky.
"Isn't this the insect trial secret realm? I thought it would be a forest or something... Isn't this too eerie?"
Jiang Xue couldn't help but shudder as the cold wind in the mountains blew over her body.
If the attributes of this secret trial realm had not been known in advance, anyone who looked at it would definitely think that this place was the territory of the ghost or evil elements...
because this mountain range that stretches to the horizon is really too desolate.
Except for one or two dead trees that can be seen occasionally on the cliffs, the entire mountain is almost bare, with no trace of any biological activity.
At the same time, there was a sound of space shrinking behind the three people.
Whoosh -
Unlike the "Dream Weaver Nest" secret realm that can be entered and exited at any time, the entrance to the trial secret realm with a cooling time shrank sharply after the exploration team passed through, and soon disappeared into the air.
The Beast Control Alliance's technological means are not yet capable of cross-space communication. As a result, they have temporarily lost their backup, and they will have to spend at least seventy-two hours in this seemingly real world.
Fortunately, the beast masters sent by the Stealing Fire Group should be busy exploring deep in the mountains at the moment, and there is no ambush near the entrance to the secret realm.
Looking at the two teammates who were helpless, Russell quietly stretched out the energy thread of the "Cocoon of Evolution" from his fingers and stroked it on the surrounding gray rock walls.
It has to be said that when faced with problems related to the insect system, "Cocoon of Evolution" can be called an all-round talent.
It only took a few seconds for Russell to clearly feel the direction of the flow of insect energy in the entire secret realm.
First of all, this energy does not escape in the air, but is buried deep underground. It seems that there is a huge cave in this mountain range, and there are many tunnels extending in all directions.
Secondly, in the north of the mountains, the concentration of insect energy is many times higher than in other directions.
If the creator of the secret realm has no intention of deliberately misleading people, such an obvious energy flow is enough to prove that the north is the core of the secret realm.
"There is no usable information at the moment. Let's take a look while walking..."
However, Russell couldn't directly say that he had detected the general energy direction of the secret realm. He casually made a haha, and then took the lead to walk towards the north.
After yesterday's stop, Jiang Xue and Chen Yuan both recognized Russell's status as captain. They didn't have a clue anyway, so they followed Russell carefully and trudged behind him.
Along the way, Russell seemed to be holding on to the rock wall, but in fact he was constantly using his "Cocoon of Evolution" talent to feel the changes in the surrounding environment.
After all, according to the intelligence previously obtained by the alliance, there are a large number of fossil beasts living in this secret realm.
Even though the surroundings seemed very peaceful now, he would not really think that a large secret realm could be cleared by just exploring the path and walking through the maze.
Fortunately, the "Cocoon of Evolution" talent is very sensitive to insect energy. As long as those fossil beasts still belong to the insect category, Russell is not afraid of being suddenly ambushed or besieged.
Facts have proved that in a strange secret realm, his caution is completely necessary.
Not long after the three of them walked along the valley path between the towering rock walls, Russell suddenly felt several clusters of rich insect energy coming from above the rock walls.
"Be careful, the enemy is attacking from above!"
According to the energy thread feedback, those groups of insect energy were rapidly approaching from top to bottom. Russell quickly backed away from the rock wall and whispered a reminder to his two teammates.
However, the three people who were on alert were still caught off guard.
In Russell's energy perception, those groups of insect energy had clearly rushed to the vicinity of the three people, but they still could not see any trace of them with the naked eye.
Then, from an angle that none of the three of them noticed, two long insect legs suddenly stretched out from the rock wall and grabbed Chen Yuan fiercely.
