Capítulo 2007: Chapter 2008: The Peculiar Labyrinth
As Feng Yuan rhythmically knocked on the gemstone, a green hologram appeared before everyone, with a red dot marking a point in the midst of a dizzying array of 3D channels.
“This thing is probably a map, but it’s not complete. You could say this gemstone is just a part of it, or maybe it relates to the final passage through the Earth Maze?”
Looking at the 3D map, Feng Yuan muttered. The use of this thing automatically conveyed itself to him when he got hold of the gemstone. It contained powerful natural energy, and Feng Yuan estimated it was a rare item without any rank restrictions.
As for the effect, it mainly enhances the power of Spirit Beast Ultimate Skills related to natural attribute energy. Of course, this enhancent is related to the energy level inside the gemstone; the effect is maximized at Elite Level strength. Beyond that, as the gemstone’s energy limit is fixed, the enhancent will be relatively diluted and weakened.
Feng Yuan didn’t mind this, since as long as the academy hasn’t gone mad, they wouldn’t randomly give students precious items that effectively work on Legendary Spirit Beasts. Moreover, the enhancent doesn’t actually weaken after surpassing Elite Level; it’s just that relative to Legendary strength, the enhancent at maximum Elite Level doesn’t significantly impact strength at that stage.
Yet, this doesn’t negate the effect of this item. After all, items usable by Legendary levels aren’t so easily obtained, let alone sothing that maintains its effect at every level, which ordinary items don’t possess.
Using low-level items at high levels, ordinary items would shatter after a period of use due to the imnse energy.
Unfortunately, neither Xiao Ji nor the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound can use this thing.
Sighing inwardly, Feng Yuan decided to give this gemstone to Qi Chen when they got out, since they only acquired one. Feng Yuan suspected this might also be the academy’s test, to see if they could strategically allocate their team’s gains.
Of course, in reality, Feng Yuan was overthinking it; the academy didn’t have such intentions. The reason being, the academy didn’t have many of these, so it was naturally impossible to give out rewards based on the number of people, otherwise problems might arise.
Qi Chen and Dou Yanlan hadn’t thought about these matters, since the gemstone fell into Feng Yuan’s hands, and they were unaware of its use. They only felt it seed like a map of the Earth Maze, and even Qi Chen felt a bit shocked looking at it.
Based on the information on the map, they could estimate the approximate scale used. From this, it could be inferred that the Earth Maze was no ordinary size.
“This Earth Maze seems to cover the entire underground of the back mountain. This… is quite a grand setup.”
Even Dou Yanlan felt astonished by the sheer extent of the Earth Maze. Just the map shown by the Heart of Nature’s gemstone was already vast, and judging by the adjacent differently colored light points, the whole range of the Earth Maze might completely cover the entire back mountain area.
While it’s called a back mountain, in reality, Maomu Academy’s back mountain refers to a large natural mountain range belonging to the academy. By area alone, it’s about the size of a district in Maomu City.
However, due to various reasons, their main activity area remained focused between the few large mountains close to Maomu Academy. The Earth Maze, judging by the green dots and other colors beyond the currently displayed map, was likely unreasonably large, which explained why previous students hadn’t uncovered its secrets.
No joke, it’s challenging to explore the entire Earth Maze in a short ti, even with a map. That map only covers the area under the Heart of Nature’s control.
As for the territories of the other colors, even Feng Yuan wasn’t sure.
Rubbing his chin, Feng Yuan said
“Looks like we need to check out other places.”
As he spoke, Feng Yuan looked at Xiao Ji and said
“Perhaps we’ll need Xiao Ji’s help to travel this ti～”
Confused, Xiao Ji looked at Feng Yuan, not knowing how he could assist with the travel. As for carrying people in flight, currently, Xiao Ji couldn’t even lift Feng Yuan alone, let alone a whole group. Also, the passageways of the Earth Maze didn’t support such a thod.
Veronia gave Feng Yuan a puzzled look, saying
“How do you plan on having it help? With these narrow passageways, I also don’t have much idea unless using so special ans.”
“Break through quickly and run all the way, otherwise with the Earth Maze this large—wait a second, this thing can also serve as a transmission crystal.”
Grinning, Feng Yuan said, pointing at the few erald green dots on the virtual map,
“With this gemstone, we can swiftly teleport to these few places. Although there’s a cooldown, it’s not a big issue. But, well, there’s a chance we might run into unbeatable foes.”
Saying this, Feng Yuan pointed at the nearest erald green dot. Based on the terrain map, they could guess that it should be the place where they previously encountered the Earth Xuan Turtle. Dou Yanlan thought of sothing and said in surprise,
“This thing allows us to freely teleport within the effectively displayed area of the map? And as a restriction, each transfer point has a Legendary Spirit Beast guarding it?”
“That’s probably it, which also explains why that place had the Earth Xuan Turtle. You should know, we hadn’t encountered such formidable foes around the Heart of Nature.”
Laughing, Feng Yuan said. Previously, he suspected the Earth Xuan Turtle was guarding sothing important, but it seems it was just a restriction for this teleportation feature.
However, what kept Feng Yuan intrigued was that this teleportation feature seed to have no restrictions; as long as one could withstand attacks from Legendary Spirit Beasts, they could freely use it within the map area. What exactly powered this thing?
This Earth Maze didn’t seem like sothing which Maomu Academy could create.
Rubbing his chin, Feng Yuan pondered a bit before shaking his head, deciding not to dwell on it. After all, if the sky falls, there’ll be taller people to hold it up. Although he was among the “taller people,” should things go wrong, Maomu Academy would probably handle it first.
Furthermore, this place was under the control of Maomu Academy. No, to be precise, it should be that Maomu Academy had soone help build it, as Feng Yuan didn’t believe Maomu Academy possessed the ability to create the current Earth Maze.
No joke, just the teleportation ability associated with the natural gemstone wasn’t sothing ordinary people could achieve. If it wasn’t for the Earth Maze existing before the Data Domain, Feng Yuan might suspect they borrowed powers from the Data Domain.
Spatial transmission in itself isn’t difficult, but to achieve a form of special teleportation akin to a ga’s, allowing unfettered opening of teleportation within a designated area relying on specific items, isn’t sothing average folks can pull off.
Thinking of sothing, Feng Yuan looked at Kong Qing and asked,
“Is there a trace of Gitalien on this?”
Kong Qing shot Feng Yuan a puzzled glance, shaking its head. This natural gemstone didn’t hold any traces left by Gitalien, and it couldn’t quite understand why Feng Yuan asked.
Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan in confusion and asked,
“Why are you asking Kong Qing about this?”
“Because such teleportation functions don’t seem like sothing ordinary Spirit Beasts could achieve. But never mind, the Earth Maze likely wouldn’t use anything too dangerous.”
Tossing the natural gemstone in his hand, Feng Yuan said, deciding not to dwell on it anymore. After cautioning everyone to be prepared, he directly activated the teleportation feature of the natural gemstone. The sky-blue light enveloped everyone, and in the next mont, Feng Yuan and his group disappeared from the passage.
The light faded away, and without needing Feng Yuan’s directive, Xiao Ji imdiately activated the Mythical Skill·Nether Cross. A massive warship appeared instantly in the cavern, leaving the Telekinetic Brown Bear, which was about to attack the group, in a stunned state.
What was this terrifying Ultimate Move? Have current students beco this unbelievable?
Xiao Ji dared not hesitate. No sooner did he launch the Mythical Skill·Nether Cross, he directed it toward the Telekinetic Brown Bear, while the others took the opportunity to dash quickly toward the nearest tunnel.
The ever-effective warship failed this ti, but neither Xiao Ji nor Feng Yuan found it surprising.
No matter how you look at it, Xiao Ji only has Good Level strength, and to leap so many ranks to instantly defeat a Telekinetic Brown Bear of Legendary strength isn’t an easy feat.
However, the delay caused by the Mythical Skill·Nether Cross gave the others ti to escape, and by the ti the Telekinetic Brown Bear dissolved its Psychic Wall, the entire scene was cleared of everyone else.
Having suffered such a significant setback, fortunately, the Telekinetic Brown Bear was a Cultivate the Mind spirit beast. Otherwise, it would have likely chased Feng Yuan and the others down, delivering a harsh lesson to these troublemakers.
