389: Glowing Underground Alien

After clearing waves 5, 10, and 15, the Crystal Space rewarded Chen Du with rewards in the three directions of mind, body, and skill, respectively. He wondered what the reward for clearing wave 20 would be.

Chen Du was quite looking forward to it, but he wasn't sure if his Rank 18 Vice Chen Du could achieve it.

Although he had just given the latest data to his Clone, Chen Du believed it was highly unlikely. It was true that he, at Rank 17, had killed Duan Wushuang, a Sky Soaring Warrior.

However, there were also differences between Sky Soaring Warriors.

Even at the same Rank 20, their strength could vary wildly. From the progress, the monster strength in the Crystal Space was clearly higher than that of the Alien Races on Blue Star.

The probability of Vice Chen Du, with his Rank 18 Nine Secret Treasures, clearing wave 20 was likely not high, but it wasn't entirely impossible, as the Nine Secret Treasures offered some hope.

He would find an opportunity to check it out later; for now, he wouldn't think about it.

Immediately, Chen Du continued to examine Xiao Fan's storage space.

Most of what was inside were books and paintings, but unfortunately, he didn't find any more rare resources of the caliber of Warrior Gems.

Aside from that, the rest were all items bearing the Dire Wolf Civilization's insignia, which were of little use, at least not to Chen Du.

“Hmm?”

Chen Du murmured softly. He had found something interesting inside.

It was a map.

Several routes were marked on it. Chen Du compared them and found that one of them perfectly matched the route he was currently taking to the Dynasty Civilization.

There were notes next to these routes, some a full sentence, others just a few words. Unfortunately, Xiao Fan was already dead, so Chen Du naturally couldn't understand these writings.

When Chen Du emerged from the Go Board, he had little stamina left, so he naturally couldn't let Xiao Fan go.

Furthermore, even if the other party were still alive, he would certainly know he was doomed and would definitely translate in a way that would harm Chen Du.

Chen Du memorized these routes, reiterating his motto: run if there's danger.

Afterward, Chen Du searched Xiao Fan's body.

During the process, he found a jade token on the other party. At first, he thought there might be a surprise, but to his dismay, it was empty after he opened it.

It seemed that Xiao Fan intended to make a distinction, storing the items from the Surface Alien Race and his original possessions in different storage spaces.

“Exactly three.”

Chen Du muttered to himself. Xiao Fan's two jade tokens and Duan Wushuang's one jade token all contained spaces of the same size. If nothing unexpected happened, these three jade tokens should be able to synthesize into a single jade token with a larger space.

But not now, because Chen Du had just completed the synthesis of the lapis lazuli devouring grass not long ago.

The current time was December 2nd, 5:21 AM, and there were still over 23 hours until the next synthesis.

Furthermore, Chen Du had a sudden idea: he wanted to try what would happen if there were items in the storage space during synthesis.

Would it be impossible to synthesize?

Or would the jade tokens upgrade three-in-one, with the items inside remaining unchanged?

Or would… even the items within the space all three-in-one at once!

A flash of inspiration struck Chen Du, and he decided to try it, as this experiment wouldn't result in a loss, at most no gain. If there were any unexpected gains, he would hit the jackpot!

Chen Du acted immediately. Although he was still within the cooldown period, he could prepare beforehand.

Synthesis required three-in-one, and Chen Du actually had only two types of items he could use for synthesis.

One was the devouring grass he had seized from Xiao Fan and harvested from the Big Ear Civilization's stronghold earlier.

The other was the 3,000 secret relics obtained from Chen Hean.

Chen Du divided these two types of items into three equal parts and placed them into the three jade tokens.

During this process, Chen Du noticed that one secret relic was different from the others; its weight was roughly ten times that of other secret relics.

And its texture was like stone.

Chen Du immediately guessed what it was, then checked all the remaining secret relics and found that only this one had a problem.

“So that's how it is.”

“What nonsense about brothers having a telepathic connection and being able to find each other no matter where they go. Turns out I had a tracker on me.”

Chen Du looked at the unique secret relic in his hand and murmured to himself.

“So many days have passed, and Chen Heping hasn't come looking. Is the distance too far, or is he still entangled with Song Jingyan from the Kapi Civilization?”

Chen Du didn't know exactly what had happened on Chen Heping's side, but at least the other party hadn't come to kill him.

Afterward, Chen Du carefully examined this special secret relic again, finally making up his mind. He pulled out his longsword and cut it into pieces.

Chen Du's current strength was very high, and he wasn't afraid of Chen Heping's retaliation.

However, if he thought from the other party's perspective, whoever killed Chen Hean must also be a Sky Soaring Warrior. The other party had been deeply rooted in the Underground for decades.

Besides Chen Jian from the Shushu Civilization, perhaps he really had some powerful helpers.

The fact that he hadn't come for so many days, besides the reasons mentioned above, might also be because he was on his way to find helpers.

Chen Du was confident, but not arrogant.

The other party didn't have anything he particularly desired.

To take a step back, if he had bad luck, for example, if Chen Heping appeared today after he had fought Duan Wushuang, wouldn't it be over?

So Chen Du felt that destroying this special secret relic was the most correct choice.

Perhaps the other party would come to deliver treasures, but it was also not impossible that the other party would bring several Sky Soaring Warriors and directly kill him.

Now that this secret relic was destroyed, if the other party still had a way to find him, then he could only meet force with force.

If he were in his Rank 17 Eight Secret Chambers state, Chen Du might still have some reservations, but now in his Rank 18 Nine Secret Treasures state, he could instantly kill Entry-Level Sky Soaring Warriors!

When fighting Duan Wushuang, Chen Du had to use the second consumption mode of Promotion to contend with him.

Now, using the first consumption mode was sufficient. The first mode was calculated by the second, initially only 100 seconds, consuming 1% of stamina per second. From the duration, it was certainly not as long-lasting as the second consumption mode.

But the advantage was that it could be turned off at any time.

After the Nine Secret Treasures, this consumption mode also received an upgrade, with the per-second consumption halved, from consuming 0.5% of stamina per second to consuming 0.25% of stamina per second.

Simply put, the duration also increased from 200 seconds to 400 seconds.

This increase in strength circumvented Chen Du's weakness of having to enter the Crystal Space after every fight.

After placing the three jade tokens in the inner pocket of his clothes, Chen Du resumed his journey... “Clatter.”

Chen Du stopped in his tracks and looked down at the time.

December 3rd, 5:03 AM. The golden shovel's cooldown had ended at this time.

Chen Du reached into his inner pocket, preparing to take out the three jade tokens inside.

He wondered if there would be any unexpected surprises with this synthesis.

Swish!

The moment Chen Du's hand touched the jade token, he sharply turned around, fixing his gaze behind him.

In that instant, Chen Du felt light from behind!

Something that shouldn't exist in the Underground world—light!

Aside from some scenery and his wristband, Chen Du hadn't seen any light source since he had been in the Underground for so long.

Furthermore, this wasn't ordinary light. At this moment, an Alien Race with a third eye on its forehead, roughly the size of a tiger, and resembling a white cat, stood quietly behind Chen Du.

“A glowing Underground Alien Race...?”

Chen Du murmured softly.

The other party was currently emitting a not-so-intense white light all over its body, and it was curiously observing Chen Du with its three eyes.

Chen Du, being watched, instantly felt his back drenched in sweat.

He had no idea when this creature had appeared. If the other party could freely turn off its light source, wouldn't it have been following him for a long time?

But he hadn't noticed anything at all. One should know that Chen Du's current Mental Energy was at Rank 24.7, yet he couldn't detect the other party in the slightest!

Not only that, the other party was right in front of him, yet Chen Du couldn't sense the Life Strength Rank of this white cat!

In an instant, only one answer came to Chen Du's mind.

Domain Warrior!
