How Level Zero Devil Destroys Player Experience

I couldn't help but be secretly surprised that even Claire was wary of this kind of crystal.

So, to be on the safe side, I accepted Claire's advice and took her and the team to the Black Abyss Mountains.

The Black Abyss Mountains is a mysterious mountain range. It is said to have existed since the birth of the other side of the world. It is located in the center of the dark camp continent and connects various empires. There are all kinds of monsters in it, ranging from level 100 to level 300.

For thousands of years, even the major empires have not fully understood the terrain of the Black Abyss Mountains.

The only thing they knew was that in the center of the mountain was the legendary endless abyss, which connected to the void. There was also another view that it was connected to an ancient battlefield between light and darkness.

But the latter was quickly overturned in the previous life, because in the later released Light and Dark War expansion, it was confirmed that the gap cracks appearing on the edge of the continent were the entrance to the ancient battlefield.

Because of Claire and the others' special identities, we spent quite a bit of time bypassing the dark camp's town before entering the Black Abyss Mountains from the opening in the southeast corner.

After arriving at the Black Abyss Mountains, the speed of travel increased a lot.

Although there are monsters of at least level 100 all around, and level 120 is very common, the people in the team are no pushovers.

Needless to say, Kai and the others have grown into level 110 elites during this period of time. The elite group is slightly weaker, but they are also level elites, and they have an advantage in terms of numbers.

I used energy to push Satasia and Jacinia to level 120. Adding on the levels of the two lords, these monsters were no problem for them.

What's more, there are heroes like Claire who are over level 200 in the team.

But there was no need for her to take action to deal with these monsters, and she was just as happy to take it easy as Hill.

However, I was the most relaxed one among them, so I specially summoned Ahri. Although I could only get about one twentieth of the experience from the monsters killed by Kai and Satasia, it was still a considerable gain.

For me, the level increase of Ahri is also a big deal now.

The team moved very quickly. With the wind magic cast by Hill, we traveled more than 200 kilometers in the Black Abyss Mountains in seven hours.

The surroundings changed from lush forests to jungles, where shrubs and palm trees were often seen, interspersed with valleys and basins. The strength and level of the monsters also increased a lot.

After cooperating with Bili and some members of the elite group next to him to clear out all the monsters around, Shim received news from Kai and others in front.

"Your Highness, Lady Claire, the captain and the others have discovered the situation ahead."

Chapter 73 Blood Crystal

When we arrive quickly.

Kai and the others were already waiting there, exploring and investigating the surroundings.

The reason is that the environment in front looks different.

Although it is not obvious at first glance, a closer look reveals that the lush trees and grass seem to have a blood-red color, which is hidden in the cracks in the soil, in the texture of the trees, and on the edges of the leaves.

It gives people a vague feeling of inexplicable restlessness in the blood.

Seeing us arrive, Kai asked the elite members to be on alert and came over with Daisy and Bemira.

"Your Highness, this is what we found from the monsters around us."

Kai presented several thumb-sized red crystals.

"Blood source crystal." Claire recognized the origin of the crystal at a glance. "The concentration is low, so it won't cause any impact."

And when I got it, the name reflected in it also confirmed what Claire said.

Blood crystal.

When I used the Eye of All-Seeing, there was a description, but it was very simple, just describing it as a precious material. I tried to convert it with the Heart of Herontis and found that this small piece of crystal could actually convert 0.02 points of energy.

This conversion efficiency is completely comparable to the more than ten monster gathering places set up by his men.

Of course, the prerequisite is that there is sufficient supply of these crystals.

This alone made me determined to occupy this treasure trove of resources. However, according to Sherlock, these blood crystals are obviously very useful, but the specific aspects are still unknown.

"Your Highness, you can give these blood crystals to Lord Sherlock and Lady Claire. I think there are special powers hidden in them. Maybe they can study and explore the deeper mysteries."

Hill reminded from the side.

Claire, who was standing next to him, shared the same idea as Hill and planned to take away some of the blood crystals and have them return to the monastery for careful study.

Anyone can see that these crystals are extraordinary.

In fact, I also plan to take a few crystals to Sister Chang'an and let the sub-professional players of Xingyue Workshop dig them up. After all, sub-professional players are definitely more familiar with this kind of material than ordinary players.

The three together can definitely show something.

As a result, all the monsters within a hundred or two hundred yards were affected. In just over ten minutes, most of them were hunted down by Kai's team and the elite members, and a considerable number of blood crystals were obtained.

During this process, I also got to know the situation in the area to some extent.

These monsters range from level 100 to level 120.

Although they are of different types, they are affected by the special power of the crystal, have blood-colored lines on their bodies, and are more powerful than other monsters of the same level.

Not every monster will drop blood crystals.

However, the blood crystals in these monsters' bodies seem to be able to enhance their abilities in certain aspects, making these monsters difficult to deal with while also making them very valuable.

Animal skins, shells, claws and other specific materials collected from specific monsters are almost all rare and precious high-level materials.

Being able to make high-level potions, equipment and jewelry is of great benefit to secondary-professional players.

But the prerequisite is that high-level priests and pastors need to use special methods to expel the crystal power left on the material in order to reveal its identity as a high-level material, otherwise it is no different from waste.

This was confirmed by Claire and others.

In other words, if it can be used effectively, the development of Xingyue Workshop will undoubtedly reach a higher level.

However, these are not the main points. The main point now is still the matter of the Blood Source Ruins. The appearance of monsters and environments affected by the Blood Source Crystals around means that the location of the Blood Source Ruins is not far away.

But not long after we separated to search, Garcinia came back from the front.

"Master Demon, we found a city in the southeast that looks like the remains of the blood source."

The words are brief, but the message they convey cannot be ignored.

Originally, the two sisters and Kai and others were walking in the front. After discovering the changes in the environment, Kai and others stayed behind to provide support, while Satasia and Jacinia sped up to explore forward.

After traveling for a while, they finally found clues to the suspected blood source ruins and found the location of the city.

Now that we have clues and directions, there is no need to waste time searching separately. I called back everyone and reunited the team. Under the leadership of Jacinia, we quickly moved towards the southeast.

As we moved forward, I discovered that the range of influence of the blood source crystal was so large. If we only speculate based on the direction we came from, it was as much as fifty or sixty kilometers.

The terrain is particularly complex, ranging from mountains, canyons, plains, etc., among which you can also see many detailed and complex landforms, such as stone forests, swamps, etc., plus many monsters distributed in it.

If the Bloodborne Ruins were a city of the Light faction, then this city would probably be very popular.

More than an hour.

When we could vaguely see the towering city buildings in the distance, we finally arrived at our destination and met up with Satasia who had been waiting for a long time.

"Master Demon, the blood source ruins should be ahead."

Said Satasia.

I could see that Satasia was excited, but also a little curious.

"With your personality, shouldn't you wait for us inside?"

Satasia stuck out her tongue. It was not until Jacinia next to her explained that we realized that the Blood Source Ruins were surrounded by thick fog, and this fog was very strange.

Thanks to Jacinia's warning, Satasia did not act rashly.

Thick fog?

Out of curiosity, I led the team to explore forward according to the instructions of the two sisters. In less than a few minutes, we saw the fog in front of us as they described.

Hill and Claire next to them recognized it almost at the same time.

"The Mist of Laws."

The fog of laws?

Even I had never heard of this word in my previous life, so I couldn't help but look at the two of them with curiosity. Or rather, other people were the same, full of curiosity about this.

After Hill's explanation, we finally understood.

This fog is indeed very special. Any creature that enters it will instantly lose its way.

What's even more special is that no matter how far you walk through this fog, you will not find the exit, but as long as you walk in it for a fixed period of time, you will reach a random location on the other side of the fog.

This magical effect is why it is called the Mist of Law.

However, although it is special, the fog itself does not pose any threat.

So after listening to Hill's description, I led the team into the fog.

"Everyone should not fall behind and keep up with the people in front of you."

Because of the special conditions of the fog, everyone in the team could only squeeze together as much as possible.

After walking in the fog for about five minutes, the view in front of me suddenly became clear. The thick fog around me receded like a tide, and the ruins of a huge and magnificent city appeared before my eyes.

Chapter 74: The Secret of the Two Sisters and the Central Region

The long city wall spans several kilometers in length, surrounding and protecting the city. Various ancient and unique buildings stand behind it, with towering tops exposed.

But what is most eye-catching is the city as a whole.

Red, bright red, deep red, crimson, all kinds of red form the tone of the entire city. Not only the city walls, but almost all the buildings are different shades of red.

Judging from the appearance alone, it is very consistent with the first impression given by Bloodborne.

I was amazed, then looked around.

Although everyone in the team tried their best to keep up the pace, many members were still lost in the process of passing through the fog.

Hill, Claire, the monastery team, and the two sisters Satasia were walking in front of me and did not get separated, but there were only a dozen members of the elite group left.

Fortunately, Claire had made sufficient preparations before coming over, and was able to contact all the lost members through special sensing means.

Even though the location they came out of the fog was random, they would not run in other directions. After waiting for more than ten minutes, everyone gathered together again.

After gathering, we finally entered this city called Blood Origin Ruins from the city gate.

Although the city is deserted, its interior is very well preserved. Although hundreds of years have passed since the catastrophe, most of the buildings inside show little signs of damage.

To say it is desolate is not entirely true.

However, the residents here for a long time were not residents of the dark camp, but monsters attracted from outside.

After we entered the city, we were attacked by a wave of monsters.

But in front of our terrifyingly powerful team, they were defeated in just two or three moves.

It seems that there are still many monsters left in the city. If you want to occupy this place, you must first get rid of all these "natives".

But this is not the team’s goal right now.

The key is to go to the center of the Blood Source Ruins, where the catastrophe originated.

After all, it is impossible to leave a place like that alone, and Claire and Hill also noticed the strange power fluctuations in the central area.

Even this guy Satasia sensed it.

However, what she sensed was only the pull of blood power, which meant that that was most likely where the sisters' subordinates were.

So we set off without hesitation.

During the conversation, I also asked out of curiosity and learned some information about the two sisters.

Satasia and Garcinia are both elemental demons. Vishinodo and Hamogen are just names used by the idiot Satasia to scare people. They were actually born in the foreign land of Moro, more than 50 kilometers south of the Blood Origin Ruins.

This exotic Moro land has a unique landform.

Ice, snow and lava coexist, shaped by the power of ice and fire emanating from the core of the earth hidden underground. This power gave birth to different landforms and also bred frost demons and fire demons.

The two sisters happened to be born at the edge of the fusion of ice, fire and the earth's core, where the power is the strongest. With a strong talent foundation, they soon ruled each other's respective areas, allowing the two races that were originally at odds with each other to develop peacefully.

However, all this ended more than eighty years ago when their subordinates betrayed them and expelled them from the foreign land of Moruo.

About the specific content.

Although Satasia was excited, she couldn't remember anything, and I noticed that Jacinia's face looked a little strange.

Is there some other hidden story?

I couldn't help but think to myself.
