Chapter 293: Chapter 227: Griffin’s Cage! Hero’s Altar!
Zheng Cheng took a look and it was indeed as expected.
Among these two architectural blueprints, the first one indeed is the griffin cage — the military camp of the six-star unit, Griffon Knight that Shahdell mentioned.
[Name: Griffin Cage]
[Property: Barracks Building]
[Star Level: 6-Star]
[Construction Time: 6 hours]
[Function: After use, the barracks building – Griffin Cage can be built for training the 6-star unit – Griffon Knight.]
[Resource consumed: Iron ore 2500, Wood 4800]
[Description: Griffon Knight, 6-star unit, and aerial unit. It requires spend 50 units of iron and 10 units of life crystal for training. Flying unit, capable of recruiting griffins, equipped with chain armor and armed with weapons like bow and arrow, iron hammer, javelin, iron sword, etc.]
[Requirement 1: Units that can be trained must be ranged attack units such as archers, spear throwers, etc., with agility not less than 60 and strength not less than 50.]
[Requirement 2: Home crystal LV6.]
“Griffon Knight, a long-ranged aerial combat unit!”
Zheng Cheng was somewhat excited. Having this blueprint, doesn’t that mean he could transform all the giant eagle archers under his command into Griffon Knights?
“Shahdell, order all the giant eagle archers to return home within six hours and prepare to change their professions to Griffon Knights!”
“Yes!”
Through so many days of battle, he has saved up enough resources to raise the home crystal to LV6 and also allow more than three hundred giant eagle archers under him to change their profession to Griffon Knights!
Shahdell hurriedly said, “Master, please take a look at the second architectural blueprint.”
“The second one…”
Zheng Cheng took it over curiously and his eyes lit up: “This is … the Hero Altar!”
“They actually dropped this kind of architectural blueprint!”
Shahdell too excitedly said, “Master, with this blueprint, we could recruit more brothers and sisters.”
Zheng Cheng also said with a smile, “You guys did a good job this time, and also got pretty lucky to drop a Hero Altar!”
The so-called Hero Altar is a special building that can recruit heroes!
Among all the buildings, it is one of the most important ones.
Before entering the secret realm, he had looked up the data. In the more than sixty years of guarding the homeland secret realm strategy by Beijing National University, the Hero Altar only appeared three times!
And these three times resulted in those three freshmen lasting for a month and recruiting the strongest unit at that time: six-star unit!
But now, not only does he have the Hero Altar, the strength of the units under his command far exceeds that of his predecessors!
Zheng Cheng’s eyes once again fell on the Hero Altar.
[Name: Hero Altar]
[Property: Special Building]
[Star Level: None]
[Building Time: 1 hour]
[Function: After usage, a special building — Hero Altar can be constructed for recruiting, healing, and resurrecting heroes, etc.]
[Resource Consumed: Iron ore 10000, Wood 10000]
[Explanation 1: This altar can recruit heroes by collecting the soul fragments of alien beasts. Every ten thousand units of six-star alien beast soul fragments can summon one six-star hero. Every ten thousand units of seven-star alien beast soul fragments can summon one seven-star hero, and so forth.]
[Explanation 2: This altar can use alien beast soul fragments to heal heroes. The healing cost is determined according to the hero’s star level, level, and the severity of injuries.]
[Explanation 3: This altar can resurrect heroes whose essence and blood have been left in the Hero Altar by consuming alien beast soul fragments. The basic resurrection requires ten times the soul fragments needed for recruitment. The stronger the hero and the higher the level, the more alien soul fragments are consumed.]
“The Altar can summon, heal, and resurrect…”
Zheng Cheng threw the gap of time and space to the caterpillar for it to eat.
Over these few days, it had already swallowed seven or eight gaps of time and space without any changes.
Except for becoming more lively.
Looks like, it still hasn’t eaten enough dimension gaps.
He came to the outskirts of the main city with Shahdell and immediately chose to build the Hero Altar at the back of the main city.
“Shahdell, after the Hero Altar is built, you leave your primordial essence and blood here.”
Zheng Cheng ordered, “Even if you unfortunately die in the future, I can still resurrect you.”
Shahdell pouted and said, “Master, are you cursing me to death? After all, I’ve given you both my body and my heart!”
Zheng Cheng’s mouth twitched, “Speak with your conscience, I believe you gave me your heart, but as for your body, I haven’t touched it yet~”
As Shahdell was a warrior he personally recruited, he could see her loyalty.
100 points.
Just like Zhang San, Niu Jindao, and the others, she had reached the point of vowing to follow him to the death and never betray him.
But as for her body…
Once during a fight with an alien beast, he accidentally unraveled the light gauze that Shahdell uses to cover her face, and she insisted on marrying him afterward.
Something about the veil of the Tianmo Clan’s maidens from Canglan Desert can only be lifted by their husband…
Frankly speaking, beneath the veil, Shahdell is truly stunning and alluring.
With sky-blue pupils, high nose bridge, small and crimson lips, delicate and smooth oval face, she constantly emits an astonishing charm.
Shahdell puffed up her chest and leaned in, “Master, as long as you are willing, I can surrender under you anytime…”
Hearing the increasingly suggestive words, Zheng Cheng quickly retorted, “Hold on, hold on, we are getting into territory only suitable for adults now.”
“By the way, Shadaier, I’ve been wondering about something.”
“About what?” Shadaier asked curiously, “As long as I know about it, I’ll definitely tell you…”
“How is it that you speak Xia Country language so fluently? And what about Zhang San and the rest?” Zheng Cheng questioned, “I initially thought you were ancient people from our Blue Star’s Xia Country. Previously when I asked Zhang San, he said he wasn’t sure either, claiming he learned this language back on the desolate planet…”
“I know about this matter, our teacher Chapael from the tribe once taught us,”
Shadaier explained, “About sixty-eight years ago, our planet was attacked by numerous Alien Beasts. The three great empires and several kingdoms simply couldn’t resist, and they were quickly extinguished.”
“The remaining humans on Canglan Desert, Dusk Plains, and Pale Canyon, among a few other bastions, continued to resist. Just as we were about to give up, countless space-time rifts suddenly appeared in our world… they were what you know as home crystals.”
“Soldiers on our world would suddenly disappear, and we later found out that they were being recruited to a place called Jasha Island.”
“Here, we were able to rapidly increase our strength, and with your help, gain power to oppose the Alien Beasts.”
Shadaier shook her head and said, “Regrettably, Jasha Island can only be accessed by inhabitants of our world for one month each year. During this period, every soldier, every hero in our world prays to be recruited by you!”
“This situation persisted for more than sixty years. During this time, the humans of our world learned your human language.”
“Just over twenty years ago, the few surviving human cities issued a joint command, calling on all of us to learn your language…”
“I see,”
Zheng Cheng suddenly came to understand. The secret realm known as the Protector of Homeland, which was part of the curriculum at the Beijing National University, had also been ongoing for over sixty years.
It was since then that Blue Star of the Xia Country began its inextricable bond with the humans of the desolate world.
Just then, on instinct, Zheng Cheng looked up towards the sky.
Doubtfully, Shadaier at his side asked, “My lord, what are you looking at?”
The sky was still covered in dense black fog.
However, Zheng Cheng’s tone seemed unusually serious, “This feeling, it’s familiar… Radiation Island!”
“Huh?”
“Buzz…”
The next second, an eerie fluctuation passed through the black fog in the sky.
It was as if something was being ‘forced’ into the space.
The view ascends infinitely into the heavens.
Jasha Island was situated at the heart of this planet.
The rest of the planet was enveloped by endless, dense black fog.
At this moment, a faint rupture appeared high above in the planetary atmosphere, stubbornly and gradually tearing open.
Several faint rays of light shot out from the small opening, penetrating the dense black fog, only to disappear immediately!
“Sigh…”
A helpless sigh came from the depths of the rift.
Inside the homeland.
While watching the sky, Zheng Cheng unexpectedly heard a faint voice by his ear, as though an elderly man was recounting something.
“Zheng Cheng, this is Kang Yongchang, the principal of the first-year district of Beijing National University. Due to the sudden surge of alien beasts in the Protector of Homeland, an unforeseen incident has occurred during this secret realm’s activation. Currently, you have two choices.”
“The first is to abandon the secret realm examination and retreat from the Protector of Homeland secret realm immediately.”
“The second is to continue the secret realm examination while taking on two optional tasks.”
Principal Kang Yongchang’s voice was weak, but very clear.
Zheng Cheng’s eyes flashed, Kang Yongchang?
The principal of the first-year district, an Epic Level character!
The voice was definitely real, and not some hallucination.
He had once sensed the aura of an Epic Level character on Radiation Island, which was very similar to the auras of the three seniors Xin Ruhuo, Xiao Tianfeng, and Quan Linfei.
Give up the examination?
That was out of the question!
He patiently listened on.
“Students who choose to continue the secret realm examination will receive the following two optional tasks.”
“First, continue to develop the homeland and safeguard the home crystal. You have to persevere for at least a month, while vigorously killing Alien Beasts.”
“Second, there is a high mountain called Black Tower Mountain at the exact center of Jasha Island. Climb to Black Tower Mountain, find a large home crystal and activate it to recruit the humans from the desolate planet to Jasha Island.”
“These two tasks will serve as your…”
The voice of Kang Yongchang disappeared soon after, and Zheng Cheng quickly understood what was being implied.
“Jasha Island? Black Tower Mountain? Home crystal!”
“This world is called Jasha Island?”
“There’s a giant home crystal that connects to the desolate planet on Black Tower Mountain. Our task is to locate this giant home crystal!”
Zheng Cheng’s eyes flashed as he immediately activated the Central Radar Life Monitoring Technique.
He quickly inputted the location of Black Tower Mountain into the search bar.
In the next moment, a winding green route appeared before his eyes, extending towards a far off high point in the distance.
“In that direction… it’s that close?”
“Wait a moment!”
“I’m already at the foot of Black Tower Mountain!”
