Chapter 131: The Living Dead Camp, the Entrance to the Abyss, and the Dark Originium

"Roar..."

At this time, these zombies were empty-handed, making unconscious low roars, and moving towards the northwest.

Looking at these zombies, Lu Cheng's heart moved.

The environment in the demon exile area is harsh, and almost only demon monsters can survive.

But the zombies are an exception!

This kind of monster is quite special. It is obviously not a demon, and its combat power is not high, but it can survive in the demon exile area.

But what is more special is another point.

That is, the zombies are born with the ability to sense resources, and will unconsciously collect various resource materials and build cities, just like instinct.

In other words...where the zombies appear in groups, there are often a lot of resources!

Of course, the three or five zombies in front of them are not considered a group.

However, the zombies gather in camps.

Killing any zombie in the camp can get the location of the camp!

As his mind turned, Lu Cheng raised his staff.

"Boom!!"

A fireball flew and landed in the middle of several zombies, exploding with a loud bang!

The next moment, the system prompt sounded.

[Ding, you killed 5 zombies (level 50), and got soul fragments +11, source energy limit +5. 】

This time the killing prompt is a bit special, no experience.

Lu Cheng had expected this.

In addition to the perception resources, the zombies have another special feature.

That is, killing ordinary zombies does not get experience, all experience is concentrated on the leader.

However, he doesn't care.

The experience of these three or five zombies is not much.

On the contrary, the zombie leader provides quite rich experience, often in the millions!

"Swish..."

Several zombies, a faint light lit up, gathered towards Lu Cheng, and outlined a map in his mind.

On the map, a location was highlighted, which should be the zombie camp.

"So far?"

Lu Cheng was surprised when he scanned the map with his mind.

The zombies move slowly, and he thought the camp was nearby.

But the location marked on the map is quite far away from him, at least two or three hours away!

This is his speed.

If it were these zombies, it would probably take ten days or half a month to make a round trip.

Thinking of this, Lu Cheng's heart moved.

The zombies move slowly and generally don't leave the camp too far.

This situation is a special case.

"Is it... sensing high-level materials?"

Lu Cheng's mind flashed, guessing.

But then, he shook his head slightly.

These zombies are not even elite level, and they don't have the ability to distinguish between good and bad materials.

There are probably other reasons for their appearance here.

Glancing at the countdown, Lu Cheng quickly memorized the map.

Then, continue to explore.

The main goal of this trip is to find dark attribute source stones.

As for the zombie camp... two or three hours of travel is a bit too much for him.

Although the Demon Exile Pass has 8 recharges, it is equivalent to 8 hours.

The means to replenish the energy of the pass can only be found in the abyss.

Before entering the abyss, these 8 opportunities will be used up one less each time.

In other words, he needs to find the entrance to the abyss within these 8 hours.

In contrast, the priority of the living dead camp will be put aside.

After finding the entrance to the abyss, he can repeatedly recharge the pass and enter and exit the demon exile area at will. It will not be too late to explore at that time.

With his mind turning, Lu Cheng moved forward quickly.

Now, he has more than half an hour left to stay.

The dark attribute source stone is nearby, it depends on whether he can find it!

"Swoosh..."

As he gradually moved forward, the airflow composed of dark attribute energy became stronger and stronger, making a strange sound.

Feeling the strength of the airflow, Lu Cheng nodded slightly.

The stronger the wind, the closer he is to the dark attribute source stone!

Immediately, Lu Cheng kept walking and hurried on his way.

Not long after, a stone mountain appeared in front of him.

This stone mountain is seven or eight hundred meters high, with a gentle slope and a wide area.

On the top of the mountain, gray-black dark-attribute air currents whistled, almost condensing into substance.

"This is it!"

Looking at the gloomy wind on the top of the mountain, Lu Cheng's eyes lit up.

The dark-attribute air currents in this area must have come from here.

The dark-attribute source stone is likely to be on the top of the mountain!

Immediately, he set out to climb the mountain.

This stone mountain is not steep, so it is not difficult to climb.

After a while, he climbed to the middle of the mountain.

On the mountainside, a large piece of stone wall shimmered faintly, and it looked like the texture was different.

As his eyes swept over, the properties of each stone emerged.

...

[Level 1 stone: building material, can be collected. ]

...

"Hmm?"

Lu Cheng's heart moved slightly.

The stone wall in front of him was actually made of level 1 stone.

This is the resource needed to build a level 2 house!

With the scale of this stone wall, I'm afraid that thousands of level 1 stones can be mined.

Lu Cheng thought about it in his heart, but he didn't mean to collect it.

Level 1 stone is not that rare, and it can be found around the settlement.

Moreover, mining will waste a lot of time, which is not worth it at all.

He crossed the stone wall and continued to move towards the top of the mountain.

As he approached the top of the mountain, a sharp scream suddenly sounded in his ears!

Accompanied by the sound of wings flapping!

Lu Cheng raised his eyes quickly, only to see a large group of bat monsters attacking him!

"Squeak, squeak, squeak..."

These bat monsters are quite huge, with their bodies alone being more than one meter long, and their wings stretched out to be three to five meters. There are nearly a hundred of them, screaming and rushing straight over, and they are close in the blink of an eye!

"Bang!"

Lu Cheng was not in a hurry, and sent out a shock wave, shooting down the few bat monsters rushing in the front.

[Ding, you killed 7 demonized bats (level 46), gained experience points +140,000, and source energy limit +22. ]

Ignoring the system prompt, Lu Cheng waved his staff continuously.

His first priority now is to find dark attribute source stones. It is not very meaningful to fight these bat monsters, so it is better to solve them as soon as possible!

At the tip of his staff, flames burst out, and fireballs were blasted out.

"Boom!!"

"Boom..."

Each fireball burst out, and nearly ten bat monsters could be shot down!

In just a few dozen seconds, all these bat monsters were killed!

"Boom!!"

[Ding, you killed 11 demonized bats (level 46)...]

As the last fireball fell.

A system prompt sounded beside Lu Cheng's ears.

[Ding, you have reached level 31, gaining health +90, mana +90, all attributes +9, free attribute points +60! ]

A white light flashed across Lu Cheng's body, sweeping away his fatigue.

"Comfortable."

Feeling the comfort brought by the upgrade, Lu Cheng felt comfortable.

Each of the previous pioneer light spirits could provide 4 million experience points. After the job change, his experience bar was almost full.

Killing these demonized bats, he just reached level 31.

Stretching his muscles, Lu Cheng looked at the top of the mountain.

Now, he is only two or three hundred meters away from the top of the mountain.

However...the remaining two or three hundred meters are not easy to walk.

As he approached the top of the mountain, the slope of the stone mountain suddenly became steeper, and there was no foothold, making it difficult to climb.

Fortunately, he had the Flash skill, so he could still get up there.

After taking a look, Lu Cheng set off immediately.

"Swish..."

Seeing that Lu Cheng was about to leave, the Metal Flower Spirit flapped its wings and flew up, quickly cleaning up the battlefield, and soon, holding a full arm of Origin Stone Crystals to catch up.

But... with its size, it didn't have many broken crystals.

[Ding, you got 33 Origin Stone Crystals. ]

After collecting the Origin Stone Crystals, the Metal Flower Spirit was very satisfied, shaking its little head and sitting on Lu Cheng's shoulder.

As for Lu Cheng, he was very close to the top of the mountain, only the last ten meters away.

"Flash."

Lu Cheng muttered in his heart.

His mana surged, and his figure appeared on the top of the mountain.

Standing firm, he looked around.

On the top of the mountain, patches of gray-black mist covered it, and it was not clear too far.

The ground was extremely smooth, like a cross section cut out by a knife, like a platform, very wide.

On this platform, stone pillars stand in dense rows, with a faint dark yellow glow between the gaps.

Lu Cheng looked around and raised his eyes slightly.

There was no trace of dark attribute source stone around.

On the contrary, this dark yellow glow... looked like rock iron sand.

He searched for a while and soon found the light source.

On the back of a row of stone pillars, a large amount of broken stones were piled up, tightly combined in granular form, flashing a dark yellow glow.

…

[Rock iron sand: a first-level material, often found near the earth element environment, used to build buildings, can increase the hardness of the building and improve physical defense. ]

…

"What is this?"

Seeing the attributes clearly, Lu Cheng couldn't help but be surprised.

This rock iron sand is the material he needs.

But... rock iron sand is a special material that can only be formed in the earth element environment.

Where did the dark attribute energy come from before?

Lu Cheng looked around and thought in his heart.

If the top of this mountain is an earth element environment, then dark attribute source stone cannot be formed.

However... in this case, there is another possibility.

That is, these dark attribute source stones are not in the environment, but in the bodies of nearby monsters.

Now it seems that this possibility is not small!

And at this moment, the True Vision Necklace suddenly shines brightly!

[True Vision detects approaching threats! Direction: behind! ]
