199: Spatial Rift Nexus! Hunt the Hyenas!

"None?"

Su Lie swept his gaze over the area and immediately negated his previous idea.

Pata!

After Su Lie flipped 720 degrees in mid-air, he landed in an area five meters away.

This area made Su Lie's body sink, and he nearly knelt down.

"Gravity area?"

Su Lie's eyes lit up.

The first area his Shelter was transferred to by the Mist was the Gravity Oasis area.

The gravity area only disappeared after Su Lie completely occupied this region.

He was particularly sensitive to the perception of gravity areas versus non-gravity areas.

It only took an instant.

He learned important information about this area.

Su Lie turned his head and saw that the line causing the spatial wrinkle had already disappeared.

"A triggered trap? Or a danger?"

He raised his hand and took a corrosive red date from his ruyi pouch, throwing it toward the area where he had just stood.

Pata!

The corrosive red date landed on the ground.

Su Lie clearly saw a slight depression appear on the meteoritic ground he had just stepped on.

Simultaneously with the depression, a spatial ripple appeared around it.

Immediately after, two black lines swept toward the corrosive red date.

The red date also exploded upon contact.

Puff!

Corrosive acid Mist instantly permeated the area.

"Hmm?"

The next second, Su Lie exclaimed in surprise: "Spatial rift?"

Before the corrosive acid Mist could fully expand, it was swallowed by the two black lines.

When the depressed area returned to normal.

The black lines did not stop but continued sweeping over the depressed area before finally disappearing.

"Interesting! Is this a trap?"

Su Lie realized the issue.

He took out a pickaxe.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Under his hammering, the Stone in the area ahead was quickly mined, turning into fist-sized charm stones.

The charm stones emitted a blue light and were entirely pink cubes.

Just then.

An Exploration Hint appeared again in Su Lie's line of sight.

[Exploration Hint: Mine 2 more units of charm stone to obtain a mysterious spatial trap from the charm stone mine. It possesses a special power that can interfere with the senses of creatures within its range!]

"Oh! It really was hidden inside the ore!"

Su Lie's eyes lit up, and he smiled.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Two minutes later, after Su Lie mined 2 more charm stones.

Below the charm stones, he saw a fist-sized space.

Inside the space was an item resembling a Rubik's Cube.

The item was cube-shaped, with each face divided into 4 sections, and each section was engraved with special Rune symbols.

These Rune symbols were like tadpole markings, winding and twisting.

This differed from the other Runes Su Lie had seen.

Other Runes were composed of complex lines, but these Runes were very simple, consisting of only one or two strokes.

"Does this stone possess such power because of the Rune's strength?"

While contemplating, Su Lie used the Eye of Identification to examine the item.

Soon a panel appeared before his eyes.

[spatial rift nexus: Blue Rare Quality; Space Perception Trap, Range 5 meters.

Function: If pressure appears on a flat surface within a 5-meter diameter range, two 1-meter long spatial rifts will be released toward the area where the pressure occurred.

Special Effect Fraud: The spatial rift nexus possesses the special effect of Fraud on life senses, preventing life forms that step into the trap from perceiving any danger.

Requirement: The Spirit value of the life form in the trap must be below 100,000 points.

Special Effect Rift Slicing: After the spatial rift hits the target, it rapidly splits into 30 spatial rifts. The spatial rifts will surround and contract upon the entity that stepped into the trap, slicing and dividing the life form.

Special Effect Devour: The spatial rift can devour all non-living forces and transfer them into void space.

Note: The spatial rift nexus is an array application item of the basic spatial rift Rune. It releases a maximum of two initial rifts, with heights of 30 centimeters and 60 centimeters.

Note: The body of the spatial rift nexus is fragile and must be hidden beneath a flat surface to function.

Note: Multiple Spatial Rift Nexuses can be used to construct advanced spatial rift trap arrays.]

"Hoo! This thing is extremely useful!"

Su Lie exhaled a mouthful of stale air after reading it. His mind was sharp, and he thought even deeper: "If I can use this to learn how to draw spatial rift Runes, I can create more Spatial Rift Nexuses!"

"This thing is slightly smaller than a charm stone... could it be made from charm stone?"

"I can try it once I get back!"

Su Lie happily put the spatial rift nexus into his ruyi pouch.

Only then did he turn and walk toward the pink grassland not far away.

The gravity in this gravity area was unstable, with huge deviations appearing roughly every 1 meter.

Either the gravity was too strong.

Or the gravity suddenly became lighter.

This made Su Lie extremely uncomfortable, and he even vomited twice.

This gave him a feeling of severe dizziness and disorientation.

When he stepped into the pink grassland area, the continuously changing gravity area finally returned to normal.

Whoosh!

Before he could think, the grass on the pink grassland seemed to come alive, climbing up Su Lie's shoes toward his trouser legs.

Some even tried to crawl inside his trouser legs.

Since he was wearing tight, tapered leather armor underneath, the pink grass couldn't touch Su Lie's skin.

In the brief one or two seconds Su Lie spent observing, he saw the pink grass had already climbed up to his knees.

"That's not grass! Are those pink insects?"

Seeing this, Su Lie quickly took a step back, returning to the irregular gravity area.

Huala la!

He heard a series of crisp sounds. These pink insects burst and died in the irregular gravity area, falling onto the ground.

After they hit the ground, they turned into tiny sparks and dissipated into the air.

Su Lie took out the Eye of Identification and aimed it at the pink grassland ahead.

Although many insects had climbed onto his body just now, the grassland ahead did not seem to have diminished.

[Charm Insect: Green Fine Quality Demon Insect; A special demon insect cultivated by the Succubus race growing in the Abyss.

Function: 1. parasitize on non-demon life forms, converting them into Succubus servants.

2. Food source for Succubi.

3. One of the raw materials for Succubus Demon Gu.

Trait Abyss: Charm Insects are abyssal venomous insects and can only survive in abyssal environments.]

"Charm Insects? What a name!"

Su Lie muttered softly.

He looked at the expanse of pink "grass" before him and released a Fireball Spell toward the front.

Puff!

After the Fireball Spell landed on the grassland, it was instantly absorbed by countless Charm Insects, failing to leave even a trace of a "wound."

"How about this!"

Su Lie frowned and used the Ice Stream Bullet Skill.

Huala! Huala la!

In the blink of an eye, a large number of Charm Insects were instantly frozen.

And three seconds later, they burst open one after another, turning into shards of ice covering the ground.

A small number of god-tier basic resource treasure chests appeared among the ice shards.

"This creature is actually countered by Ice-attribute Skills! That saves me a lot of trouble!"

Su Lie's eyes brightened, and he looked at his panel.

He saw that his experience value had jumped from 827 points to 1307 points.

Excluding the 14 experience points gained from previously hunting 7 servants of the Demon.

This time, by using the Ice Stream Bullet to kill the Charm Insects, he gained a total of 466 experience points.

Calculated based on the rule that killing 1 monster grants 1 experience point, plus the extra 1 experience point gained per monster killed due to the Mist Master title.

This time.

The number of Charm Insects he hunted was equivalent to hunting 233 monsters.

"There are too many Charm Insects; I don't know how to calculate the exact conversion!"

Su Lie sighed, walked into the area ahead again, and first collected all the god-tier basic resource treasure chests within the region.

Only then did he continue projecting Ice Stream Bullets at the Charm Insects constantly crawling toward him from all directions.

About 5 minutes later.

The pink grassland was completely cleared by Su Lie.

His experience also reached 2707 points.

In this hunt, he obtained a total of 933 god-tier basic resource treasure chests.

Charm Insects do not drop monster crystals, so there was no monster crystal harvest this time.

Su Lie stood before the clear spring at the center of the grassland. He noticed the spring water carried a strange, very fresh fragrance.

He did not dare to take the water rashly.

Instead, he once again took out the Eye of Identification and aimed it at the clear spring.

[Buzz!]

In the blink of an eye, the Eye of Identification flashed with light, and information about the clear spring appeared on the Eye of Identification...
