Chapter 439: Forerunner
"Red sandalwood leaves, Moro flowers, Kolmo grass... these harvests alone can be worth half of the money for the advanced method. This time the bet is right!" After leaving his men behind and entering the forest, Komu walked forward quickly, picking one or two precious materials at a very fast speed from time to time. Without the harassment of mutant creatures, he easily picked up countless bargains. The spiritual materials in his hands may require a life-and-death struggle on weekdays, but now in the absence of the guard, Komu has collected half a backpack without any effort. "Fortunately, I am the first one to come in, and the people behind can only eat dust." He was already very happy in his heart, and he was very glad that he chose to take a gamble, instead of hesitating like other people looking at the treasure mountain. "Fifth-level wizard... here I come!" Komu hummed a tune and swept around with a relaxed mentality that was almost like a picnic. The initial little vigilance was also paralyzed by the treasure house that could be taken at will. Without all kinds of dangerous mutant creatures, the ordinary beasts and insects in the forest alone would not pose any threat to him, a fourth-level wizard.
With the life field alone as a defense, it is unlikely to break through even if they stand there and let them attack at will.
Whether it is poison or miasma, all will be isolated outside the life field.
After years of exploration, all systems now generally believe that the life field is an extension of the concept of "self", and the extension in different directions ultimately creates different forms of extraordinary transformation after the fifth level.
From the first to the fourth level, whether it is a monk in the spiritual system, a wizard in the witchcraft system, or a warrior in the martial arts system, or a wizard in the magic system, they are all in the primary stage of evolution and are still mortal bodies.
In essence, they can be regarded as mortals with some extraordinary bodies, so they cannot get rid of the weaknesses of human beings themselves: they need food, water, and air.
After losing external supplies, they will still die in a short time. In the absence of air, a fourth-level extraordinary person can only last for two to three days on average.
But starting from the fifth stage, the essence of life has made its first leap, and they will begin to try to completely get rid of these shackles of the human body.
The Lingshu system has Xuanhua, a strong protective layer that is even enough to protect the owner and survive for a short time on the surface of the sun. The demand for air has become extremely low, and even in the empty space, it can survive for about a month.
At the level of Hua Ning, the Yuanshen appears. The Yuanshen is immortal, and the cultivator is immortal, completely getting rid of the air, which is a major problem for human exploration of space.
As for the warriors in the Dharmakaya realm, they start from the second turn, and the Dharmakaya that can change in a thousand ways will continuously nourish and transform the physical body, so as to break through the deep limit step by step.
Then there is the mage system. When they enter the super-class mage level, they can connect to the sea of original force and control a huge amount of energy to serve themselves...
Of course, it also includes using these energies to further transform themselves and gradually move closer to the elementalization they guessed.
In addition, there are several paths explored by the pioneers, such as the Knight System, Shinto System, and Wizard System, but without exception, their goal is always to be stronger and harder to kill.
It is precisely because the watershed between the fourth and fifth levels is too huge, so no matter which force, stepping into the fifth level is a requirement to become the core of the organization. Countless fourth-level organizational backbones like Komu have the greatest wish to go to the next level.
Although the method of breakthrough is becoming more mature, as the concentration of spiritual energy continues to decline, the difficulty of breakthrough is still increasing exponentially.
More and more practitioners are trapped in the same place and can only rely on time to grind slowly. The dividends of the high spiritual energy era have been eaten up, and the time when you are not afraid of death and can have a chance to break through by luck is gone forever.
The next world belongs to geniuses in the true sense, not luck...
Humans' research on spiritual energy is still in the primary stage of induction. With their current level of technology, they want to try to analyze spiritual energy, which subverts all laws and even changes the basic laws of physics. The hope is still too slim.
"Damn it! He got ahead of us!" A few minutes later, a group of people who were a little slower in making up their minds to enter the forest shouted angrily.
Komu, who was walking in the front, naturally chose to take away the easiest and most precious things.
There were very few paths in the dense forest, so most of the things that people who came later could see were either things that Komu didn't like, or the remains left after he collected them.
"If I had known, I would have rushed in first." A young man was indignant, "I had this opportunity just now!"
"If I had known, I would have waited here two days in advance." Someone next to him laughed at him, and the people around him burst into laughter.
Faced with such a situation, a group of people stopped in the forest temporarily to think about the next countermeasures.
Soon, there were twos and threes of people who chose to leave the big team and move in some directions where there was no road at all.
Following Komu's ass, you will definitely get nothing except eating dust, so it is better to take risks and open up a path.
More and more people are aware of this, but not many are determined to take risks.
In any case, Komu's route is definitely the easiest to take, and he is alone, so he definitely can't take much. It's much easier to hitchhike and get a bargain.
The outside of the secret realm became more and more lively. As the news leaked, it spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred. Soon, a large number of guys who were seeking profit like vultures gathered.
Some of them flew here by themselves, some drove here by car, some took helicopters, and some even jumped directly from the plane by parachute.
The bustling crowd crowded outside the entrance and exit of the secret realm. They hurried into the forest with their own thoughts and aspirations.
"Let's get married when I come out." A man got off the jeep and gently kissed the nose of the girl beside him.
"Promise me, this is the last time." The girl caressed the scar on the back of the man's neck affectionately, with a hint of worry in her eyes.
"Don't worry, I have reliable news that all the monsters inside have disappeared. This time I am just going to pick up money."
"Go early and come back early." She kissed his cheek lightly and began to silently bless him.
The man is a professional adventurer. Years of adventure have brought him a considerable fortune, and of course, scars all over his body.
This time, he got the news from his friend, put down what he was doing, and drove all the way to the secret place, intending to do the last job before retiring.
Adventure is a life-threatening job after all, and he already has the person he loves in his life, so he thinks he can't go on like this...
