Chapter 320: the gem altar
Translator: 549690339
bai wushang walked into the stone temple with anticipation.
the decorations inside were extremely simple. there was only an ancient altar made of five-colored gemstones.
three items were displayed on the altar.
a shield, a talisman, and a necklace.
each item was placed in an independent miniature formation, and there was a corresponding stone tablet below it, supplemented by the relevant instructions.
“the heavy rock shield is a fine soul servant-rank protective equipment with extremely high defensive power. exchange requires 3 green life stones and 30 white life stones.”
“heart-calming talisman. after activation, it calms the mind, reduces distracting thoughts, and stabilizes the mood. the effective duration is one hour. 2 green life stones and 25 white life stones are required to exchange.”
“the windswept necklace. when worn by a soul servant-level master, it will provide a movement speed bonus of about 5%. exchange requires 4 green life stones and 50 white life stones.”
after sorting out this information, bai wushang had a general idea.
at the moment, the core rule of the secret plane, gemstones city, was also centered on hunting.
the more gemstones there were, the more powerful they were.
the more life stones he obtained.
after that, they would find a checkpoint like the ruins and enter the gem altar to exchange for rewards.
” forget about the heavy rock shield. it looks too big and heavy. it’s not suitable for my fighting style. ”
“the heart-calming talisman is not bad, but it’s not a normal talisman.”
” the market seems to sell for tens of thousands of gold coins each. i can exchange for it. maybe i will have the opportunity to use it in the future. ”
bai wushang took a detailed look at his current gains. there were a total of 120 white life stones and 7 green life stones.
originally, he thought that the size and color would correspond to the change in strength, and there might be additional differences.
now, he realized that there wasn’t much to pay attention to, and the core value of the lifestone was simply distinguished by color.
“just nice, not only the heart-calming talisman, i can also buy the wind riding necklace.”
although the type and value of the treasure was lower than bai wushang’s expectations …
however, it could still provide some help.
just like the effect of the windswept necklace, it secretly strengthened the movement speed of the master’s body.
even though it was only 5%, the market value of such relics would not be less than 20000 gold coins.
it was even possible to get 30000 gold coins occasionally.
after making up his mind, bai wushang took out the life stones that met the requirements and threw them into the black hole in the center of the five-colored altar in two batches.
all of a sudden, the protective enchantments on the outside of the heart-calming talisman and the wind-riding necklace broke.
bai wushang bound the necklace and put away the talisman.
then, he brought the three-eyed witch ape out of the stone temple.
the light screen outside finally disappeared. it no longer blocked his vision and no longer restricted him from leaving.
” let’s walk for two hours and kill the monsters along the way. we’ll also see if there are other ruins. ”
“roar!” ah zhou roared in a low voice. the flames of war were dancing in his eyes. he was also looking forward to the rest of the journey.
……
as the saying goes, seeing is believing, and hearing is false.
bai wushang felt it for himself. this open area was really vast and boundless.
even though he and the three-eyed witch ape were walking, their speed was not slow. it was equivalent to a normal human running at full speed.
however, other than a few gem lifeforms, he did not find any similar ruins.
not even any of the other trial-takers had ever encountered such a thing.
very quickly, after half an hour, bai wushang stopped in his tracks. he felt that aimlessly walking around like this was not a solution.
it was impossible for xiao ci to maintain a high level of activity at every time.
to be able to spend more than half a day in battle and flying was already a very abundant state.
he had to find new information through other means.
he tried to use a secret technique.
secret technique-eye of the bee.
this was the third time bai wushang had used this skill.
a large, lifelike bee that was hard to distinguish between real and fake, a full meter long, was formed in his palm.
however, that was a deception from the naked eye. under the perception of soul power at a close distance, it was very clear that this was an energy body.
it was just that it was more dense and condensed.
to be honest, when bai wushang first chose this secret technique, he once thought it was a kind of pupil technique.
however, after truly absorbing and mastering it, he realized that this wasn’t a simple eye technique.
by consuming a large amount of soul power, it could summon a “spiritual bee.”
spirit bees did not possess combat power and could not be easily destroyed by physical attacks.
only a fixed amount of elemental attacks and spiritual attacks could make it dissipate in advance.
while the bee was still alive, the summoner could control it to fly at high speed and share their vision.
this was a rather high-level scouting skill!
of course, the secret technique, eye of the bee, was not perfect and had many flaws.
whether it was summoning or the flight of the spiritual bees.
the consumption of soul power was even more than that of the insect wings, comparable to that of the gold devouring beast.
only bai wushang had more soul power and more tolerance.
even so, he could activate it two to three times at full power and last for five to ten minutes each time.
he would touch the soul power warning line he had set.
in addition, during the operation of the secret skill, one must be completely focused and not easily distracted.
the further the spirit bees flew, the easier it was for them to collapse.
therefore, under normal circumstances, bai wushang would not use this secret skill easily.
now was a good opportunity. they were quite a distance away from the first ruins, and there might be new options nearby.
“buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz …”
under the control of his consciousness, the yellow-brown energy bee flapped its wings and flew into the sky.
its speed was not as fast as xiao ci, and it was not as fast as most of the birds and insects in their mature stage.
with bai wushang’s current soul power, he could at most be comparable to the weakest early stage of the mature stage.
but it was enough. the key was still the vision at a height.
even though the mystic realm restricted one’s ability to fly up to a hundred meters, one could still overlook a large area.
soon, the pupil of bai wushang’s enlarged right eye reflected a stretch of buildings.
it was not a ruin.
instead, it was a village with a gemstone fence on the outside and a human-like habitat on the inside.
“what is this?”
before he could see it clearly, the image in his right eye stopped abruptly, and his pupil instantly became clear again.
the distance was a little far, and the duration was close to the limit of ten minutes before the spirit bees dissipated.
he took a pill with a more soothing effect to recover his soul power.
bai wushang and the three-eyed devil ape ran all the way toward the building complex.
they arrived at their destination.
the silver gemstone fence was five meters tall. if not for the many narrow gaps in the middle, it would have looked more like a defensive wall.
there were indeed some buildings that looked like houses inside, and they were also made of stone.
however, it wasn’t very shiny. it looked a little old and was close to the edge of damage.
“bao … shi … village?”
the only gap in the fence should be the entrance.
there was a plaque on it with these three words.
after some thought, bai wushang activated his insect wings and flew a little higher to get a bird’s eye view of the interior of the buildings.
by rough calculation, it occupied more than three times the size of the ruins.
there was also white fog, and it was even thicker than the ruins. it was not only in the central area, but also in the outer area.
statues of different sizes were either curled up in a corner or standing in an empty space. they were vague and lifelike.
