Chapter 78 Arriving at the Wasteland
In the following time, I will attend class every day and learn some knowledge that I have never been exposed to before.
Although he didn't have time to go out and kill monsters and level up, Su Xiu wasn't angry. Instead, he took the opportunity to learn about the world through books, treating it as a holiday for himself.
Soon, it was time for summer camp to start.
The night before, everyone who qualified to participate was notified.
Early the next morning, a group of people gathered at the school gate and prepared to head to the wasteland.
This time the team was led by the principal. In addition to the principal, there were also several escorting school tutors.
Under the leadership of the principal, everyone left the school and headed west quickly.
Finally, everyone stopped in front of a tall stone gate. On both sides of the stone gate were three-foot-high city walls that connected to the mountains on both sides. The stone gate was guarded by guards.
The principal handed his identity tag to the guard for inspection, and then everyone followed the principal through the stone gate.
What comes into view is a huge valley, with towering peaks on both sides. The entire valley is covered with floor tiles, and the floor tiles are carved with simple patterns.
Everyone was very curious about this scene, and Su Xiu was no exception.
Going all the way in, the valley becomes narrower and narrower.
Finally, it's the end.
A round boulder, half a meter above the ground, is covered with patterns and mysterious patterns; on the mountain wall behind it, there are all kinds of simple patterns.
"Teleportation array?" someone asked in surprise.
"Yes, this is the teleportation array." The principal nodded and smiled.
Su Xiu was shocked. There was actually a teleportation array here. This was really beyond his expectation.
"I have read related books in the library. This is something created by a master of space powers. It requires huge energy to drive." There are obviously knowledgeable people in the crowd, and they will directly educate everyone.
Hearing this, Su Xiu nodded. There were energy cannons, so it was not impossible for the teleportation array to appear.
Under the guidance of the principal, everyone quickly stepped onto the circular stone platform.
When everyone stood firm, a white light shot out from the gap between the stone platform and the ground, rising into the sky.
Immediately afterwards, Su Xiu felt that everything became void. He could only see the people around him, and everything else became void.
His vision returned to normal again, and Su Xiu found that he was no longer in the valley.
Although he was still standing on the same round boulder, the surrounding environment had changed.
Looking up, I saw a layer of transparent glass in the sky, which seemed to be an isolation cover.
Everyone looked at the surrounding environment curiously. It was all very strange, but also very curious.
"I believe everyone has seen that there is a protective shield above our heads. The entire city here is shrouded by it. It is only safe inside. No one can guarantee it when we go out." The principal explained.
Then, he led everyone and quickly left the teleportation array.
Along the way, there were many people in a hurry.
Su Xiu could feel that almost everyone here was very, very strong.
You don't even need to scan with the eyes of an observer, you can feel the aura emanating from their bodies.
"Many of them are wasteland hunters, and some are scavengers."
As the principal said this, he led everyone to a stop in front of a building.
Mission Hall, this is the name of this building's sign.
"This is the mission hall. Hunters will receive missions from here. Of course, you can also issue missions as long as you can pay the reward." The principal explained and took the lead in walking in.
Entering the task hall, Su Xiu felt that the place was very lively. Some people were shouting about forming a team, some were complaining about losing money on this order, and some were showing off their rich harvest.
The walls of the huge mission hall are covered with illustrations of various monsters. The monsters on it are all variants of land and sea creatures. There are tigers with shark heads, called shark tigers; there are also dinosaurs with crocodile mouths.
It is called Crocodile Dragon; there is also an electric eel with a rhinoceros head, called Electric Rhinoceros.
All kinds of strange and strange creatures, beyond everyone's knowledge, appear here.
In addition, there is also a brief introduction to the wasteland.
After going around in a circle, Su Xiu finally realized that the so-called waste soil was actually formed after the evaporation of sea water.
What makes Su Xiu more helpless is that the monsters here only have experience and no drops.
Fortunately, their body parts can be used, and most basically, their meat can be eaten.
All meat in the world outside the wasteland is obtained in the wasteland. After all, although the meteorite beasts in the outside world are dropped, their corpses cannot be used.
The monsters here are called mutant beasts.
Mutated beasts are a magical species. In addition to their weird appearance, their bones, meat, blood, and skin are all of great value, either for medicine, for food, or for making equipment, clothing, etc.
It is precisely because these mutant beasts have such functions that major organizations have set up strongholds here to facilitate the hunting of mutant beasts. These people are called hunters.
And those small organizations with little strength will not give up. They will hire desperate ordinary people to scavenge. This is how scavengers are created.
Compared with hunters, who can rely on their own strength to go deep into the wasteland and hunt mutant beasts, scavengers with little strength can only pick up rags on the outside. To put it bluntly, they pick up rags. They pick up things that other hunters don't want.
"Okay, everyone must have a brief understanding of the wasteland." The principal clapped his hands and spoke to attract everyone's attention.
Everyone nodded. Based on the information on the wall and their own speculations, they had long been full of curiosity about this wasteland.
"I know everyone is very curious about this place now, but what I want to say is, what you have to do next is scavenging!" the principal said with a smile.
Sure enough, as soon as the principal finished speaking, everyone was unhappy.
In their view, scavengers are just people who pick up rags. They are all the chosen ones after all. Being a hunter is not too much, right?
The principal saw everyone's expressions.
He has seen this situation many times.
"You may think that being a scavenger is easy, and you don't like picking up rags, but I want to remind you that picking up rags is also a skill. If you don't know how to avoid the territory of mutant beasts, you don't know how.
You can't even be a scavenger to avoid the pursuit of mutant beasts."
"And what you don't know is that once you go deep into the wasteland, an ordinary mutant beast has the power to intimidate monster beasts, which is not something you can deal with at all."
As soon as the principal finished speaking, everyone's expressions changed. Ordinary monsters have the power to intimidate BOSS!
Is this so difficult?
Some people who originally wanted to enter the wasteland just gave up. They didn't want to enter the wasteland, they wanted to die.
"The reason why I let you scavenge and pick up rags is just to let you learn how to survive in the wasteland, because soul refining can only be done in the wasteland." At this moment, everyone understood.
They came here not to hunt mutant beasts, but to experience, to refine their souls, and to master the introductory skills of soul refining as soon as possible. The rest are just incidental.
