Chapter 1210 Open the door! free trade!

"The phase jellyfish certainly won't be that kind, so we need to make good use of it."

After resting in the Misty Palace cave for a while and recovering his condition, Bai Pu opened the cave's portal and stepped outside.

Hongxiao came out with him. Although she was terrified of the mysterious collective consciousness, the brief stay was not enough to hypnotize her.

Hongxiao was really curious about how Baipu used the phase jellyfish for long-distance location teleportation.

The third fold was still bathed in the magnificent glow of the sunset, with colorful jellyfish lazily stretching out their tentacles.

The passive ability "Phase Evasion" with a priority of 33 points has left these jellyfish without any natural enemies.

In the treacherous, energy-rich void folds, the jellyfish live a carefree and comfortable life.

However, as Bai Pu unleashed his grand strategy, everything changed.

A quadrupedal explosion!

Priority has skyrocketed to 33 points!
Bai Pu slashed out with his spear, a black spear light striking a colorful jellyfish as tall as a skyscraper in the northeast direction, while saying:

"Hongxiao, remember this, this is Jellyfish No. 1!"

As they spoke, Jellyfish No. 1 seemed to be pricked by a needle while it was fast asleep; its tentacles twitched violently, and it instinctively launched a counterattack following the energy aura.

Jellyfish No. 1's tentacles, carrying intense spatial fluctuations, slowly lashed out at Bai Pu.

Once the attack hits, Bai Pu will be teleported to the target area.

Bai Pu pushed his perception of space to its limit, extending his mental energy to touch the tentacles of Jellyfish No. 1.

In an instant, Bai Pu seemed to have gained a pair of eyes and "saw" the spatial landing point that the jellyfish-1's tentacles were pointing to!

It was a frigid, snow-covered plain, with howling north winds.

If you are hit, you will be teleported to the target snowfield!

It was clearly a dangerous place, with extremely high levels of psionic particles.

Bai Pu immediately dodged using the Lotus Escape Technique, avoiding Jellyfish One's attack, and said in a deep voice, "Remember, Jellyfish One's Mirror-Breaking Touch is aimed at a snowfield! It's very likely a dangerous permafrost rift..."

Then Bai Pu pulled the red silk, and the portal to the Misty Palace Cave Heaven opened. The two quickly entered the cave heaven.

Not only did Jellyfish One lose its target and freeze in a daze, but even the mysterious whispers abruptly stopped.

Soon, Bai and Pu reappeared.

This time, Jellyfish One has calmed down and returned to a deep sleep.

Bai Pu didn't disturb it anymore, but instead approached another jellyfish to the east: "Hongxiao, remember, this is jellyfish number two..."

Then came the familiar routine: Bai Pu unleashed his Four Extremes Burst, thrusting his spear forward to "awaken" Jellyfish No. 2.

As Jellyfish No. 2's tentacles lashed out, Bai Pu once again unleashed his mental power to sense the spatial landing point of the opponent's tentacles.

This is a deep seabed, where a huge deep-sea whirlpool can be vaguely seen, pointing towards the unfathomable Earth's core.

"Could this be the Dark Sea Vortex, the territory of Annihilation?"

After Bai Pu evaded the attack again, he used the same method to return to the Misty Palace with Hongxiao.

After Jellyfish No. 2 calmed down and fell asleep again, Bai Pu appeared for the third time with Hong Xiao.

Hongxiao is now starting to understand Bai Pu's strategy.

"Are you planning to test each jellyfish to find out where its 'Mirror-Breaking Touch' will land?"

Bai Pu nodded and said, "This group of jellyfish is like a natural teleportation network. What I need to do now is to test the teleportation point that each jellyfish network points to."

"Won't this disturb the entire jellyfish colony? You said they have a collective instinct, and they definitely can't stand our endless harassment," Hongxiao said.

Bai Pu smiled and pointed to the swarm of jellyfish that occupied half the sky and seemed almost endless.

"This huge jellyfish colony contains millions or tens of millions of jellyfish. We only handle one jellyfish at a time, which is not even a tickle."

Bai Pu said with a smile, "Whether it's the mysterious whispers in your ear or the thrashing of a single jellyfish's tentacles, they are just the instinctive reactions of the jellyfish swarm. It's still a long way from truly awakening the swarm's consciousness."

This swarm of jellyfish is like an aircraft carrier, and Bai Pu is just a small crab clinging to the bottom of the ship, occasionally tapping the bottom with his pincers. He is not likely to trigger the carrier's warning.

Unless Bai Pu storms into the Central Fold Belt and wreaks havoc, killing hundreds or thousands of jellyfish, then things will be different.

Hongxiao nodded. What Bai Pu said was actually based on some common sense.

If Hongxiao calmed down and put aside her fear of the S-level dangerous place and the mysterious cluster consciousness, she could actually make a similar deduction. However, it was difficult for her to calmly deal with these external factors.

"The jellyfish you just tested seem to be pointing to other dangerous places in space," Hongxiao said.

Jellyfish One will knock people into a snowfield that appears to be a permafrost fissure.

Jellyfish 2 will knock people into the deep sea, into what appears to be a dark vortex.

Jellyfish No. 3, No. 4, and even the dozen or so that followed were all similar.

Bai Pu said with a smile, "That's normal. The Touch of Broken Mirror isn't a damage skill; it's just a skill that sends the enemy far away... It's not surprising that the jellyfish solidify their landing point in other dangerous places in order to cause as much trouble as possible for the enemy."

This is also an important reason why Bai Pu valued the Phase Jellyfish Transmission Network.

With the Phase Jellyfish Teleportation Network, Bai Pu can reach the dangerous places he wants to go to in real time without wasting any time.

"Alright, where do you plan to go on your next adventure?" Hongxiao asked.

Bai Pu thought for a moment and said, "I want to improve the other attributes of the Misty Palace first. I remember you are fire attribute, right? Anyway, I need fire attribute, so let's go to a dangerous fire attribute place first."

After a brief recollection, Bai Pu looked at a phase jellyfish on the south side of the Misty Palace Cave.

"I remember, the Jellyfish No. 8's tentacles landed in a patch of scorching lava... it must be related to fire. Let's go!"

Bai Pu reactivated the Quadruple Burst, raising its priority to 33 points, and hit Jellyfish No. 8.

Jellyfish No. 8 retaliated angrily, its tentacles slowly lashing out.

This time, Bai Pu did not dodge. Instead, he held Hong Xiao's hand and used a shield to protect himself, taking the "Mirror-Breaking Touch" head-on.

With a soft pop, as if breaking a pane of glass, the barrier of space was shattered, and Bai Pu's body quickly became lighter, experiencing a feeling of weightlessness.

……

Class A Danger Zone, Heart of Molten Core.

The Heart of Molten Core lies deep within the largest volcanic zone on Prince Star, with surging magma below and towering peaks reaching tens of thousands of meters high on the surface – these are volcanic craters.

Deep underground, scorching corridors lead in all directions.

This is a natural channel formed by the rise and fall of magma.

Some of the low-lying corridors are frequently submerged by lava. Those who pass through must protect themselves with fire-attribute shields to temporarily withstand the damage from the lava. Deep underground, corresponding to one of the volcanoes, lies a molten palace.

This is the grotto palace of Prince Gaia—Shi Le the Brown Man!

"Your Highness Shi Le, it is said that Steel Heart received invitations from Feng Shenxiu, Anmie, and Jinjiao as soon as he arrived. They are going to explore the Pure White Mountains next month."

Shi Le snorted: "Never mind him, it has nothing to do with us... I am currently in charge of the Molten Palace, and I am only interested in rare treasures with fire and earth attributes!"

A clever person nearby chimed in, "His Highness Shi Le has already pushed the Molten Palace Cave Heaven to the limit of the lower-level cave heaven, and it will soon be upgraded to the middle-level cave heaven. What can Gang Xin compare to?"

"That's right. If it weren't for the burden of the earth attribute, His Highness Shi Le would have completed the upgrade long ago."

The Molten Palace Cave Heaven is a cave heaven with both fire and earth attributes.

Shi Le only needed the fire attribute; as for the earth attribute, it was merely a cave attribute that would lower the average energy gathering limit.

Shi Le was willing to collect earth-type treasures simply to avoid hindering the collection of fire-type treasures—fortunately, earth-type treasures could also be collected in the Heart of Molten Fire, making it the most suitable and dangerous place for the Molten Fire Palace.

Suddenly, the entrance to the cave flashed with light, and a figure hurriedly entered.

"Your Highness Shi Le, something terrible has happened! The Fire Extinguishing Insects have detected that an outsider has entered the Heart of Molten Core!"

The man was tall and thin, with several small insects crawling on his face.

This is an insect controller under Shi Le, a type of summoner, named "Sangge".

"Intruders have broken in?"

Shileteng stood up abruptly. "Who doesn't know that Molten Core is my territory? How dare you come to Molten Core without even saying hello to me?"

Sanger said, "I ordered the Fire Extinguisher to monitor him, but the person who came seemed to be accompanied by a Domain Lord, who directly captured the Fire Extinguisher and destroyed him."

"A domain lord is with you?"

Shi Le sneered, "What's so special about that? Which Gaia prince doesn't have a third-rank domain lord serving him? I have two by my side!"

These words caused the two domain lords in the crowd to feel somewhat embarrassed.

After all, it's not something to be proud of to abandon one's status as a domain lord by siding with Shi Le, who is at the level of a powerful lord.

However, Shi Le didn't care about their feelings and directly named them:
"Lord Crimson Vine and Lord Flame Bone, they've come with ill intentions. They wiped out the Fire Extinguishing Worms directly, so they're very likely here to seize the Molten Fire Palace Cave Heaven node! I want to see who has such audacity!"

The two domain lords could only follow.

Other attendants also stepped forward to volunteer for the battle: "Your Highness Shi Le, let's go together!"

Shi Le nodded slightly and smiled with satisfaction: "Alright. Sangge, you lead the way!"

……

"The feeling of being watched has disappeared."

The red silk ribbon was retrieved, and the insect corpses turned into powder and drifted down.

Hongxiao possesses a counter-surveillance skill called "Flame Flow Returns to Heaven," which allows her to detect the approach of living beings based on subtle changes in the surrounding heat.

As a third-grade domain lord, she possessed the domain-suppressing bonus, which gave her a significant advantage in countering reconnaissance by powerful lords, allowing her to discover the situation even earlier than Bai Pu.

After all, Bai Pu cannot maintain the state of Four Extremes Explosion at all times. His normal priority is 30 points, while Hong Xiao's normal priority is 31 (26+5) points.

Bai Pu glanced at the insect corpse: "This insect doesn't seem to be a local monster; it seems to be controlled and raised by someone."

Hongxiao was taken aback: "Could it be that people have already settled here?"

"That's normal. Apart from S-level dangerous areas, most dangerous areas are inhabited."

Hongxiao hesitated for a moment: "Then if I kill his bugs... will he have a problem with that? Should we post a thread in Prince Gaia's community discussion group to ask him and let Prince Gaia, who lives here, know?"

"No need. The danger zone is so big, does he really think that just because he lives here, the danger zone belongs to him? Sending out insects to scout and warn... he'll just say we wiped them out as some kind of monster that originated here."

Bai Pu didn't consider the Void Folds his own territory, so he naturally couldn't stand someone occupying an entire dangerous area.

Since Bai Pu wants to collect rare treasures of various attributes, he definitely hopes that everyone will be open and inclusive, and ideally, exchange what they have with each other.

If someone wants to close the door, not allowing others to set foot in, and erect trade barriers...

That depends on whose fist is harder.

Open the door! Free trade!

Not far after walking through the underground corridor, Bai Pu's eyes lit up as he discovered a cluster of "lava crystal clusters" on a lava island in the lava lake of the earth vein chamber ahead.

Once this type of geological deposit is mined, it becomes a rare and precious treasure.

Bai Pu didn't stand on ceremony. He asked Hongxiao to keep an eye on things for him and went straight up to start digging.

The clanging sounds, along with the vibrations of this reef, rhythmically propagated and spread through the lava lake.

Soon, bubbles rose from the lava lake, and elemental creatures emerged from the surface.

In the midst of his busy schedule, Bai Pu lost a crucial insight.

【Molten Core Walker (Level 17)】

[Race: Elemental/Aberrant Element]

[Attributes: Strength 240, Agility 280, Stamina 400, Spirit 500]

[Skill 1: Fireball: Charges up and fires a fireball at the target, dealing moderate fire damage and applying burn stacks. Each burn stack deals 1000 fire damage per second, stacking up to a maximum of 15 stacks. Each burn stack lasts 60 seconds and can be refreshed by new burn stacks.]

【Skill 2: Molten Core Charge: Charges towards the target in a straight line, slightly knocking back enemies in the path and applying 3 stacks of burn.】

[Skills 3-5: ? ? ?]

Judging from their attributes, these Molten Core Walkers are only of the elite level, far inferior to the Phase Hunters of the Void Fold.

However, the burning effect added by their skills is still quite troublesome.

Bai Pu sent the information to Hong Xiao and then continued mining the lava crystal clusters.

With a flick of her red silk sash, she whipped up a spinning top, leaving the group of Molten Core Walkers dizzy and disoriented. Then, she unleashed her flaming blade, dismembering them one by one.

However, just as Hongxiao was dealing with these spawning monsters, a crimson flame vine lashed out from afar.

Hongxiao reacted quickly, using her Fire Silk to create multiple whip shadows that repelled the fiery vines.

But at the same time, a barrage of bone arrows shot out! Each bone arrow had a pale bone fire burning on its tip, clearly indicating a mixed damage type.

Judging from the energy emitted by the attack alone, it must have been two domain lords who made the move.

However, Hongxiao is far more powerful than an ordinary third-grade domain lord; she wields a two-star king-level purple weapon!
