265: Sudden weakening

"Special place?"

"Sacrifice?"

"Ancestral gift?"

"Incredible ability?"

Chen Du asked, his expression unchanged. He could understand the first three, but Shi Dingtian hadn't mentioned this 'incredible ability' at the time.

Of course, it might have been because so few from the Stone Man Civilization had gone in to make sacrifices.

Or, was the other party deliberately hiding something?

However, Chen Du thought the latter was unlikely. Judging from the other party's wails, it was highly probable that few had entered.

After all, it was a Small Civilization with limited resources, limited talent, and limited intelligence and information. It was understandable.

"Yes!"

Seeing that Chen Du didn't make any threatening moves, Xing Jina breathed a sigh of relief and quickly continued:

"The plate where the Sifang Cave is located is called the 'New and Old Plate.' It was the site of the final battle between the three former Overlord-level Civilizations and the three current Overlord-level Civilizations."

"It's called the New and Old Plate, meaning the old gives way to the new."

"I don't know how many places like Sifang Cave were built at the time, and I don't know if they only exist here in the New and Old Plate."

"Although our Succubus Civilization is a Great Civilization, we are at the T5 Rank, and our exploration of Blue Star is relatively limited."

"We only know about this place because our ancestors were once slaves."

"Outside the entrance behind me is a wasteland, with nothing at all."

Chen Du's eyes narrowed under the mask. He wouldn't believe the statement, "Behind is a wasteland, with nothing at all."

However, at the end, Chen Du would ask again using the yellow-haired girl to see how many lies were hidden within.

Seeing that Chen Du seemed to believe her words, Xing Jina nervously swallowed and continued:

"There are three special areas on our Low-Risk Zone layer. We call these three places the Qilin Cave, the Phoenix Cave, and the Dragon Cave."

"As long as you carry a part from a former Overlord-level Civilization, you can enter the corresponding cave, sacrifice it to them, and receive the ancestral gift I just mentioned."

There are three in total?

So each former Overlord-level Civilization only has one special passage.

Chen Du murmured to himself. He had initially wondered if there would be several, as this place, with its crisscrossing paths, wasn't small; if all passages were counted, there might be over a thousand.

It was quite lucky that the Stone Man Civilization managed to discover the Qilin Cave under such circumstances.

After Xing Jina finished speaking, fearing Chen Du wouldn't believe her, she quickly turned over and knelt on the Surface, presenting her large backside to Chen Du.

Exposing one's back to an enemy is a major taboo in combat. She did this to show that she had no defenses.

Immediately after, she began drawing a route map on the Surface with her finger. Whether it was intentional or the nature of a female Succubus, Xing Jina's large backside swayed rhythmically with her finger's movements.

Chen Du's brow furrowed under the mask, and he directly slapped her.

Smack!

The jelly-like jiggle and her "Ah~♡!" sound appeared simultaneously.

"Draw it quickly!"

"Stop with the unnecessary stuff!"

"Yes!"

Xing Jina responded in pain. She knew Chen Du's Mental Energy was extraordinary, so she wouldn't use such an impossible method to increase her chances of angering him.

The swaying just now was merely her forgetting to suppress her nature, not intentional.

The map was drawn with simple lines and was quickly finished. Chen Du fixed his gaze on it.

Among these three places, the location of the Qilin Cave was exactly where he had encountered Shi Dingtian after entering.

It seemed the route map she drew was correct.

"You'd better not lie to me. I have ways to verify it."

Chen Du looked at the drawing on the Surface, nodded, and said coldly.

Shi Dingtian and Xing Jina's descriptions of the Qilin Cave were quite similar, so it was likely not dangerous. He would definitely go there, but he still had to keep up appearances.

"Every word is from my heart!"

Xing Jina looked at Chen Du with sincere eyes, blinked, and then said:

"There are also three of these special areas in the Medium Danger Zone. Do you need them?"

After seeing Chen Du nod, Xing Jina then drew the routes for the three areas in the Medium Danger Zone. Of course, the starting point was the same as the starting point on her map.

However, Chen Du now understood the relationship between these zones. If he were an Advanced Martial Artist now,

he could follow the Medium Danger Zone route to the marked stone disk position, which would be the starting point of Xing Jina's map.

This kind of information was a resource, and Chen Du naturally wouldn't let it go, so he took a picture with his wristband.

"Are there only three of these special passages in each zone?"

Xing Jina first nodded, then immediately shook her head:

"There are only three in the Low-Risk Zone and Medium Danger Zone, one corresponding to each former Overlord-level Civilization."

"I don't know about the High Danger Zone and Super Danger Zone. The Succubus Civilization has a very strict Rank system. Although I am a Genius within it, I currently have no right to know about matters at the Skysoar Warrior stage."

Chen Du nodded without pressing the issue. This was also the case for High Martial Civilizations, or rather, for all Civilizations.

Regardless of whether a Civilization develops technology, it will have its own rules and regulations, and the logical relationships are there. In fact, everyone's frameworks are pretty much the same.

"At your Rank within your Civilization, what level of Genius are you?"

"20th. At the Martial Artist stage, my overall talent Ranks roughly 20th in our Civilization."

20th...

Chen Du was incredibly surprised to hear this. This female Succubus's Life Strength was the same as his, and her Martial Skill was only 1% lower than his, yet still at the Entrance to the Microscopic 11% level.

Such high talent, yet she only ranked 20th among her peers in the Succubus Civilization!

Is the foundation of a Great Civilization so strong?

From an overall strength perspective, this Xing Jina was even stronger than Gao Zhongwang during the Three-School Joint Martial Arts Competition!

The key was that Xing Jina wasn't even Rank 15 yet!

Gao Zhongwang's talent could be said to surpass the standard for an Upper Civilization, yet among Geniuses of similar Life Strength in a Great Civilization, he couldn't even make it into the top twenty?

After Xing Jina finished speaking, she still looked pitiful. In truth, she had lied just now; she wasn't in the top twenty, but the top three!

Saying top twenty was just to add some deterrent, to deepen Chen Du's apprehension.

Voluntarily giving Chen Du the Medium Danger Zone route map earlier was a sign of submission. Now, saying she was a top twenty Genius in her Civilization was an implicit hint at the profound foundation of her Civilization, a display of toughness.

Using both soft and hard tactics was to make Chen Du afraid, thereby increasing her survival rate. Chen Du, after all, couldn't verify the truth.

"Are these three special passages all the same inside?"

Chen Du pondered for a few seconds, no longer thinking about the previous question, as it had no practical significance.

He would later enter the Qilin Cave among these three passages, so he naturally needed to understand the situation inside first.

Just as Xing Jina opened her mouth... Suddenly!

Chen Du's entire body trembled.

A strange sensation appeared on his body, as if he had been "cut by a knife."

However, this cutting sensation was completely different from being hit by a weapon. It had no pain whatsoever, yet there was a feeling of a portion of his overall strength being stolen.

Chen Du's expression changed dramatically under the mask, and he immediately realized something.

Weakened!

He had been weakened!

There were only two possibilities for being weakened now.

First, someone among the other three had left early, but this was impossible.

He was the core of this mission. Either everyone left together after ten days, or he left first, and the other three would leave after sensing the weakening.

This situation occurring prematurely could only mean the second possibility.

Someone in one of the other three zones...

Died!
