691: Level 40 Mental Power

"Although they appear to be an Alien Civilization, they are actually a derivative of a resource."

"A derivative of a resource?"

"Could it be..."

Qing Feng didn't keep Chen Du in suspense because of his murmurings; as if seeing through him, he directly said:

"That's right, that resource is the Star Vein."

"They are all derivatives of the Star Vein."

"This is reflected in their turtle shells; the colors and lines on them bear traces of blue crystal, it's just that others haven't noticed this."

"What you said about them guiding you in the direction to leave is precisely because of the Star Vein's characteristic of not liking to be disturbed. This can be seen from the fact that no Alien Civilization can approach it."

"Of course, those two civilizations are exceptions."

"But that's only limited to the outer zone; once you enter the forbidden zone, it's equivalent to a death sentence. You won't encounter a Phantom Tracing Turtle in there."

Chen Du nodded. So this was the truth about the Phantom Tracing Turtle.

After Qing Feng finished speaking, he took out an incense stick and handed it to Chen Du:

"This thing is called 'Hypnotic Incense'; it has only one purpose, and that is to attract the Phantom Tracing Turtle."

"Even in the outer zone, you're not guaranteed to encounter a Phantom Tracing Turtle, but this item can quickly attract them and guide you in the direction to leave."

"However, this is only limited to the outer zone. If you use it in the forbidden zone, you won't be able to attract the Phantom Tracing Turtle, or, to be precise, the Phantom Tracing Turtle itself would get lost in the forbidden zone!"

"But don't worry too much about entering the forbidden zone. Although the Mist in both the forbidden and outer zones is white, the dividing line inside is very clear; you'll know it when you see it."

This was so exaggerated... Chen Du hadn't expected the Mist in the forbidden zone to be so powerful that even its own derivatives would get lost!

And why was the color of this Mist precisely white?

This made Chen Du think of the Pale Dense Fog in the Crystal Space. Had his previous deduction been wrong somewhere?

Was the Star Vein not completely unrelated to the blue crystal in the Crystal Space?

Qing Feng naturally didn't know what Chen Du was thinking. After the other party took the Hypnotic Incense, he continued to add:

"Although you have the Hypnotic Incense, the Phantom Tracing Turtle's 'one-time principle' still applies, meaning he will only appear before you once. So don't foolishly try to test it."

"Although one stick of Hypnotic Incense, in theory, is enough to make the Phantom Tracing Turtle appear several times, you can only see him once."

"I'm specifically reminding you again, 'once' here means having seen him once. Suppose a 5-person team goes in, and one of them lights the Hypnotic Incense, attracting the Phantom Tracing Turtle."

"Then, even if the others haven't lit it, they will be considered to have seen him and will never be able to see the Phantom Tracing Turtle again. And this 'again' is permanent, lasting until the end of their lives."

Chen Du nodded again. He didn't have any of these strange ideas; he just wanted to get an infinite gravity stone and then choose an auspicious day to go to Star Island.

"Alright, Surface Alien, let's go. I've already over-fulfilled your request today."

"I want to be quiet here now."

Chen Du knew this was Qing Feng's way of asking him to leave. After a word of thanks, he turned and departed.

He hadn't come for treasure hunting, so he naturally wouldn't linger.

Qing Feng watched Chen Du's retreating back, a little lost in thought. After the other party's figure completely disappeared, he muttered to himself:

"I was just hesitating whether to kill him, after all, he's the one who killed Shi Fan, but he's also the Unique one with a chance to avenge the Prophet Civilization."

"Forget it..."

...864, July 1st, 05:15.

Chen Du successfully arrived at the Primordial Mine in the Taiji Bahuang Territory.

This time, it seemed smoother than any of his previous trips Underground.

Perhaps because the Primordial Mine was excessively dangerous, the Taiji Bahuang Territory placed its location in a very, very remote spot.

It could be said that it was almost fading out of the Taiji Bahuang Territory; geographically speaking, it was only barely touching its edge.

Beyond that, it was essentially an independent, neglected location, almost unrelated to the Taiji Bahuang Territory itself.

This also eased Chen Du's previous worry about encountering a Level 35 Domain Warrior of the Taiji Bahuang Territory if he infiltrated it.

Why would he need to infiltrate? He could just walk right in!

There wasn't a single Alien Civilization here.

As a place where the danger far outweighed the resources, it was desolate and empty, with no Alien Civilization seen nearby.

"White..."

Chen Du had now reached the entrance of the Primordial Mine's outer zone. Looking at the white Mist ahead, he murmured.

Perhaps it was psychological, but Chen Du forcibly compared the Mist of the Primordial Mine with the Pale Dense Fog in the Crystal Space. To be honest, he didn't see any similarities between the two.

Their appearance was somewhat similar, that was true, but Chen Du himself wasn't sure how much of that similarity was due to psychological factors, as Mist, in general, tends to look pretty much the same.

Chen Du paused outside instead of entering immediately, not because he was scared, but because he was choosing the entry coordinate.

This coordinate point had been summarized by countless people and approved by Qing Feng, so it was definitely correct. It was written in the information the Star Island Civilization gave him.

Firstly, neither the outer zone nor the Mist zone allowed flying.

The inability to fly here wasn't due to a rule prohibition in this place, but rather a conclusion drawn by the Alien Civilization outside after countless failures.

The Mist inside would interfere with direction. If one flew, the direction would be even more disorienting than walking on the Surface. Even if you replicated the Surface route at a one-to-one ratio, you wouldn't arrive at the same location.

Chen Du naturally wouldn't foolishly try to fly. After finding the coordinate point, he instinctively glanced around before entering.

The moment he entered, he immediately activated his Domain and Mental Energy, trying to see if he could discover anything.

The result was, of course, nothing. His Domain perception saw only white Mist, and his Mental Energy was similar, but at this moment, his Mental Energy gave Chen Du a different feeling.

A feeling of being able to perceive the dynamics of the Mist, yet what he was perceiving right now was clearly all white Mist.

Chen Du then stopped thinking about it and began to "advance" through the Mist according to the route given to him by the Star Island Civilization.

This advancement was very strange; according to the information, this advancement sometimes required retreating.

Although it was called advancement, more often it involved moving left or right, or even backward. These were all forms of advancement, or rather, a form of approaching.

Approaching the infinite gravity stone.

Because there was no direction here, the probabilities of front, back, left, and right were useless.

The only advantage was that each disoriented direction was fixed, but the premise was that you couldn't make a single wrong step.

This route had to be followed 100%. During the process, no matter what appeared in front, one could not change course.

For example, if a boulder blocked the way, what you had to do was smash it, not go around it.

These were all lessons learned through the blood and tears of countless Alien Civilizations.

Clatter.

Chen Du heard footsteps not far away. According to the information, there were no illusions or similar things here; everything seen was real.

The Mist only changed direction, disorienting up, down, left, and right.

The owner of these footsteps was most likely a lost Alien Civilization.

Chen Du originally didn't want to bother with such matters, but looking at the source of the footsteps, coupled with that feeling his Mental Energy had earlier, suddenly gave him an idea.

Chen Du acted immediately. He gathered his Mental Energy together, meaning he abandoned the practice of spreading it around and concentrated all of it into a single point.

Like a flashlight, he shone his Mental Energy in the direction of the footsteps.

At this moment, a miracle occurred.

Before Chen Du's eyes, a small area of Mist within his line of sight was actually dissolved under the concentrated beam of his Level 40 Mental Energy!
