A Guide to Surviving the Mysterious Dungeon and the Twelve Talismans

However, the malevolent entity flew westward, while the true form flew northward.

They had been flying for ten hours, so the straight-line distance between them was about 35,000 kilometers.

At his current speed, it would take him nearly fifteen hours to cover that distance.

Fifteen hours is probably too long; by then, the daylily would be cold.

After all, Liu He had said that the Three-Eyed Clan would descend upon Beehive City around 3 PM tomorrow.

It's already 5 a.m., and there are only 10 hours left until 3 p.m.

If he breaks through to the third tier, not only will his base speed reach Mach 3, but because it doubles every third tier, he can reach Mach 6.

At Mach 6, it would only take less than five hours to get there.

That should be enough time.

If it's near the core of a meteorite, Zhou An thinks it's alright.

However, it's still a bit troublesome to advance to stage three for no reason.

"I don't have any cultivation techniques, and I've even tried the Dream Technique, but I can't cultivate..."

"Then we'll have to go find rare and precious materials." Zhou An's gaze fell on a valley below.

This valley is covered with black rocks and has no vegetation whatsoever.

However, the area around a cave was lush and green.

The real green vegetation is just like the plants in the farm.

Such an outrageous environment suggests that there must be some secret inside that cave.

The cave is also located on this cliff.

On this cliff face, quite a few flowers, grasses, and trees have grown, which is a bit outrageous.

Zhou An needed to race against time, so he immediately flew down and entered the cave.

The cave floor was covered with soft, lush grass that reached up to the calves.

The surrounding rock walls were also covered with vines, and the rock walls beneath the vines could be faintly seen to emit a fluorescent glow.

After flying for about a hundred meters, the view suddenly opened up.

The bright light made Zhou An feel a little uncomfortable.

The sky outside was dark, but here it was as bright as day.

This is a space that is at least several kilometers long.

It is hundreds of meters high, and its dome is covered with many glowing fluorite stones.

It is these lights that make the cave so bright.

He was standing on the edge of a cliff, about a hundred meters from the bottom.

"Is this... a paradise on earth?" Zhou An stood on high ground, taking in the entire scene below.

Most of the greenery in this space consists of fruit trees that I saw in my previous life.

Apple trees, banana trees, peach trees, and so on.

But look at those heads, each one is bigger than a human head, they don't look like ordinary things.

A large pile of rotten spiritual fruits lay on the ground, all of them unpicked and rotting after falling to the ground.

There is also a river inside, which emerges from the ground on the left, flows all the way to the right, and then disappears into the ground.

The water is very clear; you can tell it's drinkable.

The water was still splashing every now and then, so I guess there were fish in there.

Surprisingly, Zhou An didn't see any animals or even monsters inside.

"How could such a paradise exist in this place?"

"Even though this place is well hidden, there must be flying monsters that can fly in from the cave, right?" Zhou An asked, his face full of surprise.

"Screech!" Just then, a scream came from behind Zhou An.

Zhou An's eyes were sharp as he turned and pierced through the darkness, seeing an eagle-like monster appear at the cave entrance.

It wasn't very big, about two meters tall, just big enough to fit through the cave entrance.

The monster seemed to have sensed Zhou An's presence, so it folded its wings, lowered its head, and quickly ran inside.

However, the monster had only gone a few dozen meters when its speed suddenly slowed down.

Then its breathing became rapid.

It seemed to sense something and immediately tried to turn around and leave.

But after walking back for more than ten meters, it couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed to the ground, its breathing becoming much weaker.

Zhou An suddenly noticed that the green light on both sides of the rock wall had become brighter.

"Is it because of these fluorites?" Zhou An immediately strode over.

When he arrived in front of the monster, it was already silent.

At that moment, the grass suddenly started moving and wrapped itself around the monster.

"Interesting. This grass is still alive. Can it eat monsters?"

"However, I was standing on the grass, and they didn't eat me?" Zhou An asked, looking surprised.

He thought for a moment, then grabbed a handful of vines and turned them into a little rabbit.

After landing, the little rabbit actually opened its mouth and started eating grass.

However, the grass did not attack the little rabbit; instead, it allowed the rabbit to nibble on it.

Zhou An immediately stepped forward, strangled the little rabbit to death, and threw it onto the grass.

At that moment, the grass moved and wrapped itself around the little rabbit.

Zhou An understood now: these grasses do not attack living creatures, not even the weakest animals.

But once they die and become corpses, no matter how strong they are, these grasses will eat them.

No wonder Zhou An found the grass to be so lush when he came in.

I reckon even bones can be digested.

Zhou An arrived at the rock wall and reached out to pry off a piece of green fluorite.

【Artificial Fluorite】: A special fluorite created by humans that emits radiation at all times. This radiation is harmless to humans and has the effect of enhancing mental strength, but it is a deadly poison to monsters, causing their genes to collapse and die.

"Man-made fluorite?" Zhou An was immediately shocked.

If that's the case, then this paradise was actually created by humans.

However, Zhou An did not see any trace of human life below, not even any human-built structures.

Zhou An immediately flew inside and began searching around the cave.

After a long while, Zhou An discovered a long-abandoned house deep in a bamboo forest.

After Zhou An went inside, he found that there was nothing in the room, but at the very back, he found a metal door.

"Shelter No. 3?" Zhou An looked up at the large characters above the metal door.

"A refuge? Is this a refuge for humanity?"

"Are there still humans here? No, no one has picked the fruit outside, and there are no traces of humans."

“This shelter is either not yet in use, or everyone inside is dead,” Zhou An pondered, stroking his chin.

Zhou An wanted to go inside and take a look, but the metal door was tightly sealed, and he couldn't get in without forcibly breaking it down.

However, if violent destruction triggers a self-destruct mechanism or something, the losses would outweigh the gains.

"Let's upgrade to the third tier first. After we resolve the Three-Eyed Clan issue, we'll come back and investigate further," Zhou An decided.

Anyway, staying in this shelter won't make me run away.

Zhou An immediately flew out of the house, and after several twists and turns, he arrived at a spiritual plant.

This is a spiritual plant that emits a halo of light. It is not large, only about half a person's height.

But a bright red fruit, the size of a fist, grew on it.

Zhou An reached out and took it off, then checked its attributes.

[Exotic Fruit]: It contains special energy, which can improve physical fitness and greatly enhance mental strength after being swallowed.

Sure enough, this space was not lacking in rare and precious materials.

Without saying a word, Zhou An swallowed it whole.

In an instant, Zhou An felt a surge of pure energy explode in his abdomen and then spread throughout his entire body.

In just ten minutes, Zhou An directly advanced to the third rank.

"Third tier already? Not bad, really not bad." A smile appeared on Zhou An's face.

At that moment, Zhou An also realized that his entire inventory had been unlocked.

He can now use all his props, all his items, and all his skills.

"So, the Anywhere Door can be used now?" Zhou An was overjoyed.

With the Anywhere Door, Zhou An no longer needed to rush.

This is an unexpected surprise.

Without further delay, Zhou An immediately took out the Anywhere Door, recalled the locations of the three warships, and pushed it open.

Chapter 205 The Million Humans Successfully Rescued

After Zhou An entered the Anywhere Door, the Anywhere Door vanished into thin air.

Zhou An immediately transformed into a mosquito to avoid being discovered.

He looked up at the three enormous warships and was still somewhat surprised.
