"The basic situation is this. These second-level talismans were originally bought for self-defense. They are just right for use at this time."
Facing the strange looks from several people, Gao Yuan explained calmly.
Although he does not know the specific power of the second-level attack talisman, it is a fact that the power of the thunder talisman and the blazing sun talisman is several times that of the same level talisman!
Thinking about it, even though there is still some gap between it and the second-order talisman, if it is classified as second-order, there shouldn't be a big problem.
Su Qing and others did not worry about the grade of the talisman Gao Yuan used just now, nor did they care about whether the source of the talisman he said was reliable.
They just gathered together and expressed their gratitude to Gao Yuan very seriously, and then they all took out a lot of spiritual stones as a thank you gift.
Gao Yuan naturally refused to accept it. The cost of the talisman he just consumed was almost negligible to him.
But he just said that these talismans were purchased from elsewhere. Therefore, with Su Qing's strong insistence, he accepted the 30 intermediate spiritual stones forced by several people according to the average price of second-level spiritual talismans, and finally bought them.
This matter was prevaricated.
Afterwards, several people discussed it and decided to continue to the oasis base camp. After all, the team was only less than a hundred miles away from there.
More importantly, events like this abnormal gathering of shadow demons in large numbers can happen anywhere in the Gray Desert.
There was even a record of a backpacker team being attacked by a large group of shadow demons just after entering the gray desert for more than ten miles.
Therefore, even from a safety perspective, it is safer to go to the Oasis Base Camp first.
After arriving, report what happened tonight to the manager stationed at the Oasis base camp in Qingliang City. If such incidents occur one after another in a short period of time, it is expected that the other party will pay attention to it and may organize monks to go out to check the situation.
If that doesn't work, you can also return to the city in the base camp with other monks who are preparing to return. It will be safer than running back directly for more than 200 miles now!
·
After a few hours, the sun finally rose high enough to illuminate the gray desert.
It's just that after such a long time, all traces of the shadow demons killed by Gao Yuan have long been lost.
Even the dark crystallized magic core disappeared without a trace, being swallowed up cleanly by the surrounding ground.
Gao Yuan had expected this, but he didn't take it to heart. After all, the source of the mutation that was most valuable to him had already been obtained.
After breaking camp, everyone continued to maintain their previous formation and continued to move forward along the established route.
…
the next day.
It's like two o'clock in the afternoon.
At the end of the field of vision ahead, a hazy black line appeared.
At this moment, Su Qing's voice came in time:
"Brother Gao, have you seen that black line in the distance? That is the destination of our trip, and it is also the oasis base camp built by Qingliang City in the gray desert!"
Gao Yuan nodded when he heard this and said:
"The scale looks bigger than I thought."
"That's natural. The Qingliang City Oasis Base Camp is also one of the top ones among the base camps built in cities in the Northern Territory!" Xin Lei interjected with a smile.
…
Everyone who had been feeling depressed since they entered the gray desert saw that the oasis base camp was already in sight, and their moods relaxed a little, and they exchanged words from time to time.
Not long after, the team arrived outside the tall city wall of the oasis base camp.
Still far away, Gao Yuan looked at the behemoth in front of him with some curiosity, but was surprised to find that the tall city wall was not arranged in a straight line, and obvious arcs could be seen on its surface.
Could it be that this oasis actually adopts a circular layout?
He was a little surprised, and he observed it carefully when he got closer.
I saw that the height of this city wall was about ten meters, and it was made of stone bricks with a dark background and mysterious blue patterns on the surface.
The brick joints have obviously been processed, and a material with a faint streamer and the same color as the stone brick pattern is poured in between, which not only makes the patterns on the adjacent stone bricks interweave with each other, but also makes the entire city wall look seamless!
With his extraordinary spiritual sense, Gao Yuan could clearly perceive an obscure but extremely thick energy fluctuation coming from the surface of the city wall!
Like the city gates of Qingliang City and Qingyuan Town, the city gate of Oasis Base Camp also adopts the structure of one main city gate and two corner gates.
The color of these city gates is lighter than that of the surrounding city walls, showing a strange gray-black color. Their surfaces are extremely smooth, and they seem to be forged entirely from some kind of metal material.
I saw countless streams of light flowing on its surface like water waves. It looked very magical at first glance!
Compared with the main city gate, which is five meters high and more than ten meters wide, the corner gates on both sides are much smaller, with a height of about three meters and a width of just over four meters.
On the right side of the city wall, about two meters above the ground, there is also a dark red crystal stone the size of a fist embedded in it.
Su Qing led everyone and walked straight to the crystal stone next to the corner door on the right.
She put her hand on her waist, took out her identity token, placed it in front of the dark red crystal stone and shook it gently.
Then I saw a red light beam suddenly light up inside the crystal. After a slight pause on the cyan identity token, the light beam suddenly expanded, covering all the people in the group, and scanned it from top to bottom.
It gradually faded away.
After a short delay, a low buzzing sound suddenly sounded.
I saw that the gray-black corner door first shrank inward by about two feet, and then moved to the right as a whole, revealing the space inside.
This is a square sealed stone chamber of about thirty square meters. There is a slightly smaller door on the inner wall opposite the corner door, which is currently closed.
After the corner door was opened, chaotic demonic energy billowing like a miasma outside the door immediately poured into the secret room, but Su Qing and others didn't seem to care about this and walked straight in.
After everyone entered the secret room, the corner door behind them buzzed shut again.
At the same time, a bloody light flashed above his head, and Gao Yuan quickly looked up.
But he saw a purple crystal the size of a human head in each of the four corners at the top of the room. At this time, countless dazzling blood lights were bursting out from the inside of these crystals. They quickly intertwined to form a blood-red light curtain. After a short delay,
It fell straight down.
As the light curtain fell, the chaotic demonic energy surging in the secret room melted away like snow, and soon disappeared. The light curtain swept back and forth twice, and after confirming that no demonic energy remained, it dispersed with a slight flash.
Come.
At the same time, the metal door on the inner wall of the secret room, like the previous corner door, shrank a foot inward and then quickly moved to the right, revealing the space behind it.
Following Su Qing and the others, Gao Yuan walked through the portal. When his field of vision suddenly widened, a burst of noise also came.
Different from the city environment he expected, what he saw was a very huge square hall, with an area of at least several hundred square meters.
At first glance, a dozen thick square load-bearing columns divide the hall into multiple areas.
At this time, there was a constant flow of people in the hall, with monks of different clothes and ages, and mixed men and women walking back and forth in the hall, making it extremely busy.
Su Qing and others looked as if they were not surprised by this, and headed straight towards the center of the hall.
There is a circular counter that is half a person high. Outside the counter, there are a dozen monks in robes who seem to be queuing up to handle something. Inside the counter, there are three middle-aged people wearing black deacon robes.
