Sanctuary Paradise

Chapter 753 Exploration and Communication

The next day, Tianmai Dragon Island.

[Reminder: This "Burning Soul and Refining Heart" has ended, mental strength +0.6, mental toughness +0.35, mental resistance +0.74]

A breeze with a hint of fresh forest scent drifted in from the window. On the comfortable bed made of a duvet worth tens of thousands of Paradise Points, Xin Lailai, who was sitting cross-legged in meditation and assimilating with the elves, slowly opened her eyes, took a long breath, and looked at the brand interface at the edge of her vision:

……

[Mental Strength: 110.1]

[Mental toughness: 112.3]

……

"Have both mental strength indicators finally reached over 110 points?"

Xin Lailai looked at the mental power data in front of him, his eyes moved slightly, and a hint of satisfaction appeared in his eyes.

Relying on the residual efficacy of the newly drunk black maple tea, the improvements in their two recent soul-burning and mind-refining rituals were very obvious, directly allowing their mental strength to break through the 110-point mark, reaching the level that only many top-notch or even outer-level mental contractors have.

"Unfortunately, the remaining effects of the black maple tea have probably been refined. If I want to improve it, I can only rely on slow and steady work."

After adapting to the enhanced mental power for a while, Xin Lailai glanced at the data on the branding interface. A hint of regret flashed across his eyes, but then he shook his head and discarded the distracting thoughts in his mind.

The deadline for this derivative world is as long as two months. With their current progress, even if they take it slowly, they can still raise their mental strength to 120 points within the deadline of this world, so there is no need to rush.

[Ding! Xiaobai No. 1 reminds you that the current plane position coordinates are close to target point No. ]

Suddenly, a childish electronic sound was heard. Xin Lailai heard it and looked at the scene outside the window.

Have you reached your first destination?

Then, Xin Lailai stood up, changed his clothes and equipment, and walked straight out of the house.

In the worldview of Fulilian's world, the entire world has a total of three connected continents. Among them, the northern continent, where the empire and the remnants of the demon clan are entrenched, has the largest area and the worst environment, but also has the largest number of strong people and high-level hidden areas.

Although the Central Continent is the smallest in area, it is the most stable and prosperous region among the three continents due to its excellent geographical location and the presence of the Holy City. At the same time, the difficulty of the mazes and monsters within it is just right, making it an extremely suitable area for training second-level and newly promoted third-level contractors.

As for the Southern Continent, in terms of overall monster strength and maze difficulty, the Southern Continent is the easiest one. However, due to the ongoing melee among the southern countries, the environment here is not stable. Also, because the original book did not give a detailed description of the Southern Continent, this area has the most new hidden areas and copies each time the derivative world is updated.

According to the plan discussed by Xin Lailai and others, the route of their tea party activity this time was basically to first travel around the dozen or so hidden areas of the southern continent mentioned in the strategy guide, and after Liezhan, Tianduan and others had almost finished the first and second level copies, they would go all the way north to the Demon King's City and kill a few big demons to complete the main task.

As for Fulilian, the protagonist of the derivative world? All I can say is that from the beginning, Xin Lailai never thought of paying attention to her.

Judging from the information provided by Paradise, the time point they have currently entered is probably around 30 years after the death of the brave Sinmeier, and Fulillian is probably still on the way to the Golden Country.

And considering that they have no intention of touching the main boss, Golden Mahat, the opponent's route can be said to have nothing to do with them.

This is also one of the benefits of a slow-paced world like the one in "The Fall of Flillian". Because the protagonist does not have much influence on the entire world, he will not be affected even if he ignores it. Unlike the world of Bleach or Naruto, as long as the protagonist enters the main storyline, he will probably be affected by unknown AOE damage and forced to join the battle even if he wants to avoid it.

……

Tianmai Dragon Island, freshman training ground.

"Attack and kill, Explosive Flame!"

A violent explosion sounded from the training ground. From a distance, one could see a gray-haired young man with a bandage on his right eye, giving off an inexplicable sense of a middle school student, waving a staff in his hand and rapidly chanting one fire-attribute magic spell after another, attacking the Hell in front of him.

"Well... it's barely passable. Although the control is a little lacking, at least the power is enough."

Faced with the overwhelming attack, Mingyu just nodded slightly, commented indifferently, and then moved his mental power, instantly condensing several magic arrays, destroying and replacing all the magic power and mental power used to control the flames, causing the overwhelming fireballs to all stop in mid-air.

"You should improve your control. Your magic is powerful enough, but the control is too crude. If you face those who are good at manipulating spells, you will only be taken advantage of by them."

Mingyu spoke, and the bandaged gray-haired young man heard it, looked at the magic in front of him that was clearly released by him but was now completely out of his control. After a moment of silence, he nodded and then humbly asked:
"Senior Mingyu, can I ask you a few questions about the control of magic?"

"Just ask."

"It's like this. I've thought about training my control over magic before, but the fire element is difficult to manipulate..."

On the training ground, only the gray-haired young man was seen asking questions humbly. If you look towards the other training grounds, you can see that, except for Liezhan and Tianduan who could only practice against each other because there was no suitable person to guide them, the other new contractors were basically asking for advice very obediently from Mingyu and Xingnv, the top-level seniors in the third-level team.

"Sister Shengji, regarding the healing techniques you mentioned last night..."

"Senior Daofa, I have some questions about talismans and would like to ask you for your advice..."

"Um, Argo-senpai, could you please demonstrate the movement technique you just used? I didn't quite see it clearly..."

Just as he thought, it was the right decision to ask the Blazing Gold Sect and the Dayan Sect to pick some new contractors who could match the direction of Hades and Bell.

In mid-air, Xin Lailai, who was walking from a distance, looked at the scene in front of him, nodded slightly, and a smile flashed across his face.

Among the ten newcomers this time, each one was carefully selected at his intentional request, in order to maximize the "labor force" of Xingnv and others who came to the tea party.

As for whether the other super-top echelons would be stingy with their guidance, it would be fine if only one or two super-top echelons came this time, but since there were eight super-top echelons, and they all met new contractors who they could guide, as long as one of them took the lead, the others would most likely take the initiative to serve as the mentors of the new contractors who were suitable for their own direction under the drive of their dignity and competitive spirit as super-top echelons. With the guidance of the super-top echelon seniors who were two levels higher than themselves, as long as the level of these new contractors was not too bad, they could basically get a good improvement in this process.

As long as the strength of the new contractors is improved, the hidden areas and copy limits they can challenge will naturally increase, which will ultimately significantly increase the overall benefits of their actions and directly form a perfect positive cycle.

"Everyone, please stop for a moment. We will soon reach our first destination."

After observing for a while, Xin Lailai nodded slightly, took the initiative to land on the training ground, and spoke with soul thoughts. When everyone heard this, their expressions moved, and they all paused their training and looked in the direction of Xin Lailai. Seeing this, Xin Lailai nodded, glanced at the ten new contractors present, and said:

"In ten minutes, we will arrive near the Kaza Mountains. According to the strategy information I have collected, there should be a ruin with a difficulty level of around LV.17. Argo will enter with you as your instructor. We are looking forward to your performance here."

"Yes!" "No problem~! I can set off anytime!"

"By the way, if we perform well enough, can I take a photo with you, Black Sword Boss?"

"Hey, is it still possible to make such a request?"

As Xin Lailai's announcement fell, the ten newcomers immediately started discussing with great interest. Xin Lailai looked at this scene, smiled slightly, looked at Mingyu, Xingnu and others, and said:

"Everyone, I have prepared some tea here. While they are exploring, why don't we take this opportunity to chat about magic?"

"No problem." "Haha, I slept so comfortably last night. If you hadn't told me, Brother Heijian, I would have almost forgotten that I was here for the tea party."

"I have no objection. I just happened to hear that Mr. Black Sword has quite a few insights into healing techniques. Perhaps I can discuss this with him."

"Well, I am also looking forward to discussing Taoism with you fellow Taoists."

As soon as the voice fell, all the top-tier wizards present agreed. Seeing this, Xin Lailai also chuckled and said:

"In that case, I will go ahead and prepare."

……

……

Ten minutes later, in the southern continent, the Kaza Mountains.

Buzz, rumble—! !

The dull sound of a stone door opening came from a cave covered by vines. A thick haze of dust blew in and hit the faces of everyone who had put on protective gear in advance and deployed shields with the help of the team's war priest and wizard.

[Hint: You have entered the hidden area, Kaza Mountain Underground Palace. The current danger level of the area is LV.15~LV.18]

[Hint: Because the contractor discovered a hidden area, the origin of the world +3%]

[Tip: Because the difficulty level of the current hidden area is much higher than the contractor's current brand level, when the contractor explores this area, when killing and dropping without the participation of units of higher rank than himself, the treasure chest drop rate will be increased by 30%, and the probability of high-yield rewards in the produced treasure chests will be greatly increased]

A cold reminder sound rang out, and Liezhan and the others looked at the message that popped up in front of them. Their breathing quickened slightly, and a hint of heat appeared in their eyes at the same time.

It’s true…!
Just like what Black Sword boss said, there really is a hidden area here with a difficulty level around LV.17!
"Huh... calm down. Since the information is true, we must act carefully next! Don't forget that hidden areas of this level are full of second-level bosses!"

"Yes, just like what Brother Liezhan said, Luxi, Tianjiu, remember to pay attention to the situation around you, Xiaoye, be prepared for healing and shielding spells, Zhengyu, you are responsible for protecting Xiaoye, Tianjiu and the others."

"learn!"

After a brief excitement, Liezhan and Tianduan beside him quickly calmed down and commanded their respective teams in an orderly manner. Seeing this, Bell, who was following at the back, nodded slightly, with a hint of relief in his red eyes.

As expected, they are the new recruits chosen by Big Brother Black Sword. Although they come from different religious groups or even cults, their cooperation and performance are all above average.

Although they had not been together for a long time, he had experience in adventurer and judge trials and could tell at a glance how excellent the two teams were.

Especially the captains Liezhan and Tianduan, who are not only first-class top-tier contractors with a master LV.10 technique, but also have the most mature and sharp personalities and minds among all the new contractors present.

Two teams full of potential.

Bell made this judgment in his mind, and then looked at the corridor in front of him that was illuminated by the lighting props and the new contractors who were approaching, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

……

On the other side, Tianmai Dragon Island.

"I see. Is this the gravity spell created by Lord Black Sword? Using only mana, he was able to use the gravitational field of the planet itself to form a new gravity source. Is this worthy of Lord Black Sword?"

The faint aroma of tea filled the air, and a star girl in an elegant long dress was sitting in front of a round stone table beside a pond in the forest. She was looking at the magic slowly spinning on her fingertips, and a touch of stunning color appeared in her beautiful eyes, which were as gorgeous as the starry sky.

Although her starry sky spells also include many spells that utilize planetary gravity, precisely because these spells exist in her inheritance system, she is more aware of how difficult it is to achieve this with just a single mana point without the help of extraordinary energies directly related to gravity, such as the power of the world, the power of the stars, and the earth element.

"Thank you for your praise, Miss Xingnu. I just added a little of my own ideas based on the experience of my predecessors. Moreover, the most critical part of the inspiration for this spell came from the guidance of a supreme senior. It is not my own credit, so it is nothing."

Facing the Star Girl's praise, Xin Lailai just shook his head slightly, chuckled and denied it. At the same time, he looked at the starry sky spell model displayed by the Star Girl in his hand, and a strange color also appeared in his pupils.
