Monster Paradise

Stepping out of the teleportation array, Lin Huang seemed to have come to a bustling city no less than the Eight Desolation City.

Seeing the high-rise buildings in all directions, the passing pedestrians, and the cool wind blowing over the surface of the skin, Lin Huang didn't feel that this was a virtual world at all.

"Ding, you have a voice message, do you want to play it?"

Lin Huang was distracted by the notification sound of the Emperor's Heart Ring. After clicking on the playback, Yao Lan's voice came from Lin Huang's ear.

"Come to the ladder tree as soon as you come in, and just use the emperor's heart ring to open the map and send it."

After listening to the voice message, Lin Huang clicked on the map of the Emperor's Heart Ring, and quickly found the location of the Ladder Tree in the center of the map. After clicking on the Ladder Tree, an option popped up.

【Would you like to send it to the Ladder Tree? 】

"Yes!" After Lin Huang pressed the option, his vision blurred, and he appeared at the foot of the ladder tree in the next moment.

"This teleportation function is really useful." After closing the map page, Lin Huang looked up at the moat-like ladder tree not far in front of him.

The size of this giant tree has surpassed Lin Huang's understanding of trees. Not only can he not see the crown of the tree when he looks up, but he can't even see the end of this "wall" when he looks around.

After checking the information of this giant tree, Lin Huang knew that the diameter of this giant tree alone is more than 300 kilometers.The branches and leaves of the canopy have a maximum extension area of ​​tens of millions of square kilometers, almost occupying the sky of the entire virtual city.

"The area of ​​the canopy is larger than that of Huaguo on Earth..." Lin Huang couldn't believe it.

"When I first came here, I saw this tree and you had the same reaction." A female voice suddenly came from behind Lin Huang.

Lin Huang immediately turned around, and it was Yao Lan who had made an appointment before.

"You're five minutes and 18 seconds late." Yao Lan glanced at the time, then said to Lin Huang solemnly.

"I'm sorry, when I came in, there was a delay in setting up the information." Lin Huang smiled wryly. He didn't even need to look at the time to know that he was indeed late.Originally, he had calculated the time and came in 10 minutes earlier, but the personal settings were delayed by 15 minutes.

"It's okay, I also forgot to tell you about the information settings yesterday." Yao Lan waved her hand and said, "Let's go get something to drink, and then I'll give you a brief introduction to the situation here."

Yao Lan took Lin Huang to an open-air water bar and sat down. She ordered a glass of mixed fruit juice, and Lin Huang ordered a glass of green leaf juice.

"You're late, please drink." Yao Lan had a natural expression.

"Okay." Lin Huang readily agreed.

Seeing that there are almost no vacancies in the water bar, and the same is true of other shops around, and the dense pedestrians coming and going on the street when I came here before, Lin Huang couldn't help but raised doubts, "It's not that you are entering this virtual world. Are they all monsters and strong men? Why are there people everywhere?"

"The ordinary people you see without cultivation are actually not humans, they are virtual humans simulated by Emperor Xin. A small number of them are functional service personnel, providing us with various services. For example, the owner of this water bar And the waiters, as well as the staff in the shops next to them. Except for their functional personnel, the rest of the virtual humans are virtual residents without functions. After all, in the world we live in, the number of powerful monsters is limited. If the limited Putting evildoers in such a big city that is comparable to an A-level stronghold will appear deserted at first. I think the establishment of these virtual residents should be based on this consideration."

"Also, there is a rule in this virtual world that it is not allowed to shoot virtual humans, or you will lose the permission to enter here permanently." Mentioning the topic of virtual residents, Yao Lan reminded Lin Huang again.

Lin Huang, who was puzzled, was not very interested in virtual humans. He looked up at the ladder tree not far away. Some people were climbing up the tree trunk. "Flying should not be allowed on this ladder tree, right?"

"Well, the whole tree is forbidden, not only can't fly, but also can't move in space, only climb." Yao Lan nodded.

"Then can I ride a summoned beast?" Lin Huang asked again.

"Yes, but flying summoned beasts can't fly, and on this tree, the downward gravity cannot be offset in any way. Except for summoned beasts that are good at climbing, other summoned beasts can't fly in this tree. The tree is like walking on the ground." Yao Lan explained in detail. "However, even if you have a summoned beast that is good at climbing, climbing with a summoned beast is more likely to be attacked by other climbers."

"Can you attack at will?"

"Of course, the competition on the tree is fierce. As long as you are strong enough, you can not only attack at will, but also kill at will. The hunter who kills the hunted can get half of the opponent's points. Once the hunted dies, the year's Not only will the accumulated points be lost in half, but you must start climbing from the bottom of the tree again. Although the points can be exchanged for items, the monthly rewards are calculated according to the height. Therefore, many people would rather be robbed of half of the points than be killed. Come."

"Why are you at the bottom of the tree?" Lin Huang asked a little strangely.

"This is the virtual avatar I redeemed with points. My real body is on the tree. Otherwise, do you think I will go under the tree to pick you up? You must know that climbing different heights has different difficulties. But it took many attempts to succeed. Once you get back to the bottom of the tree, it is not an easy task to return to the original height."

"Virtual clone?" Lin Huang didn't see that it was just a clone at all.

"I exchanged it with ladder points. This avatar is just an empty shell with the aura of the deity, and it has no fighting power." Yao Lan nodded.

"How do you get points?" Lin Huang asked again.

"Climbing to different heights, there will be basic points. Hunting various local monsters on the tree will also earn points. You can also directly hunt or rob other humans for point plunder. There are also items to exchange with the system or Trading points with other people. There are roughly four types.” Yao Lan explained in detail.

"Climbing the Ladder Tree is mainly up to you personally. At most, we can only provide some strategies. Unless you climb to the same height as us, otherwise we can't help at all. The number of members of our Wild League is also relatively small. Unlike some powerful monstrous forces in the first district and the second district, they can arrange people at different heights to support the younger generation."

"Our Huangmeng's overall strength can only be regarded as a medium level in the third area, but it is below the middle level in the entire core area. The strongest evil force in the first area is called the Tianmeng, and they have a total of eighteen super-level evildoers , there are fifteen of them are already nine-step immortal-level fighters, and each of them can kill the strong in the imperial palace. Seven of the top ten monstrous forces are from the first district, and three are from the second district. District. We are No. 12 in the third district, and we only rank No.[-] in the overall list."

"What is the ranking of the Huangmeng?" Lin Huang couldn't help asking.

"Uh... now there are more than 180 people in the total list..." Yao Lan touched her nose with some guilt.

Hearing this ranking, Lin Huang felt as if he had been tricked.

"No wonder the Huangfu siblings are unwilling to join..."

Chapter 646 Climbing the Ladder

In the core area alone, there are more than 120 monstrous forces in the first area, more than 80 in the second area, and about 260 in the third area although it is a little less.The remaining nine districts outside the core district add up to only twelve.The total number of large and small evildoer forces in the evildoer alliance is [-] eight.

Huangmeng ranked 183. There are two main reasons why it is so low.

One is because of the small number of people. 260 Eight monster forces, almost half of them have more than one hundred members.And the Huangmeng has only 36 people, ranking more than 240 people, almost fast forward to the bottom twenty.

One is because of the lack of real masters.Huangfulin is the only one in the Huangmeng who can kill Emperor Palace Realm, and her combat power is only at Seventh Step Immortal Realm.The top-ranked teams basically have super-level monsters at the ninth step of immortality, and some have more than one.

After listening to Yao Lan's explanation, Lin Huang probably understood the situation of Huangmeng.

Yao Lan is picky about the invitation of members, and Huang Fulin basically doesn't take care of things. There are more than 30 current members, except for a few who were recruited by Huangfu Haola's relationship, most of them came to join on their own.There are also a few people who joined Yao Lan and the others before and have not retired yet.

But according to Yao Lan, since the five-year catastrophe is coming, in order to obtain more resources in the Monster Alliance, she will slightly lower the invitation standard for this member and increase the number of people in the Wild Alliance.

Because in addition to the rewards for individual rankings, there are also rewards for team rankings, and they are quite generous.

After Yao Lan finished explaining the general situation, he brought Lin Huang to the ladder tree officially.

"If you're not busy, start climbing today. There are 20 days left in this month to settle the rewards. Your results will be added to our total points for this month." Yao Lan couldn't wait any longer.

"Okay, let's warm up today." Lin Huang nodded, then stretched out his hand, and summoned a golden-haired giant ape.

This is one of the two giant ape cards that Lin Huang obtained by beheading three giant apes before. After Xiao Hei's correction, the genetic abnormality of the two giant apes has long been solved, and the three-time mutation At that time, one obtained the blood of the ancient divine power ape, and the other obtained the blood of the ancient ice flame white ape.

This golden-haired giant ape is the one that obtained the blood of the divine power ape.It is more than 200 meters tall, just like a hill. After it appeared, many people around screamed.

"Three-time mutated ancient beast bloodline!" Yao Lan was also slightly taken aback when he saw the appearance of the golden-haired giant ape.

Some people who are climbing and preparing to climb are full of envy after seeing this giant ape.Not many people have the idea of ​​snatching it, after all, the aura of the divine power ape is obviously at the immortal level, and the body shape does not seem to be easy to provoke.

"Let's go!" Lin Huang waved his hand at Yao Lan, and jumped onto the shoulder of the divine power ape.

"Li Wang, let's climb trees to play today!" The divine ape summoned by Lin Huang (only has the blood of the divine ape, not the real divine ape, let's call it that) was very excited. This is the first time it has become a card monster. Once summoned by Lin Huang.

After receiving Lin Huang's instruction, it patted its chest, raised its head to the sky and roared loudly, and then began to climb up.

Although the trunk of the ladder tree is as thick as the wall, it still has bark. It is not as smooth as the wall. The cracks in the bark are good climbing points.

Although the divine power ape is huge in size, the instinct of being an ape has not disappeared. Its skills are many times faster than those of humans who are trying to climb. Coupled with the advantages of its size, it can climb thousands of miles in less than a minute. Meters high, disappeared into the clouds.

Let the group of overtaken people below all look up enviously at the back of the giant ape disappearing.

Yao Lan under the Ladder Tree watched Lin Huang disappear, and shook his head with a smile, "According to this speed, he should immediately experience the first difficulty of climbing the Ladder Tree."

There will be a checkpoint for every [-] meters in the Ladder Tree.These levels, the higher the level, the higher the difficulty.In addition to passing with absolute strength, most levels have special clearance skills, which are so-called strategies.In places with relatively low altitudes, the strategy is basically in a semi-public state, and almost everyone knows it.But after reaching a certain height, many strategies are privately owned by the major forces, and they will not easily leak the strategy to other forces.There are also a few factions who will sell strategies at high prices, but for truly difficult levels, strategy strategies are only in the hands of a few top forces. They do not lack points at all, and they do not want other forces to catch up.

The first level, [-] meters above the ground, is the cloud of mystery.

It was the layer of white clouds that blocked Lin Huang's view from the bottom of the tree before.

This layer of clouds is thousands of meters thick, breaking into it is like breaking into a dense fog that can't be seen.The key point is that this mist also has a strong hallucinogenic effect, and it penetrates into the human body directly from the pores, making people fall for it without knowing it.

People who are not vigilant, breathe normally, and the mist enters the lungs, which will accelerate the hallucinogenic effect.

Under the shroud of this mist, not to mention holy fire level, longevity level will be affected after staying for a long time.

Originally, in the thick fog, people would lose their sense of direction, coupled with the hallucinogenic effect, many Holy Fire realms would stumble in this level.

Yao Lan originally said to tell Lin Huang all the strategies he knew, but Lin Huang didn't ask for any strategies. He even refused to ask what the different levels were about.

For him, this kind of breakthrough will bring him enough stimulation and freshness.He also wanted to know, with his own strength, how far he could go without attacking.

As soon as he broke into the clouds, Lin Huang noticed the abnormality of the fog.

As a powerful spiritual master, his perception ability is much stronger than that of ordinary people. He can clearly feel the abnormal spiritual energy in the clouds here, and he is even trying to penetrate into his body.

"This should be the first level, the hallucinogenic cloud. It will indeed affect people who are not mentally strong enough. The climbing speed of ordinary people is not as fast as I ride the summoned beast. I can stay in this cloud-shrouded area for a long time." The longer it takes, the greater the possibility of getting lost." Lin Huang quickly analyzed the difficulty of this level.

But before he could think too much, the divine power ape rushed out of the area shrouded in clouds and mist, and climbed towards a higher place.Obviously, the hallucinogenic effect of this cloud has limited impact on the longevity status in a short period of time.

"I don't know what the second level will be?" Lin Huang looked away from the clouds below, and looked up at the sky.

A layer of dark clouds enveloped the top of the head, and the sky started to snow...

Chapter 647 The Second Level

"Snowing?"

Lin Huang looked at the thickening dark clouds above the sky with some surprise.

As the divine power ape climbed higher and higher, the dark clouds above the sky became darker and darker. In less than a minute, it became as if it had been soaked in thick ink, and the day seemed to turn into night in an instant.

The drastic change in climate soon made Lin Huang realize that this was not a natural phenomenon, "This should be the second level."

The higher one climbed, the lower the temperature dropped, and white frost began to condense on the surface of the bark.

"It's a little cold."

It didn't take long for Lin Huang to feel the biting coolness penetrating into his body through the pores, and the white air he exhaled between breaths instantly condensed into frost.He turned on the temperature measurement tool of the Emperor Heart Ring, and the displayed temperature was already more than minus 80 degrees, and it was still dropping.

Lin Huang wrapped his body with life energy. Although the cold was expelled, the slightest chill was consuming life energy at a high speed.Almost in less than half a minute, the life energy of a life wheel in his body has been exhausted to the bottom.

A layer of white frost also began to condense on the body of the divine power ape, but this low temperature had little effect on it in the immortal state.The speed slowed down a little, only because the climbing wall started to slip.

But the more he climbed, the bigger the snowstorm became, and the vision of the divine power ape began to be affected, and he made mistakes in several jumps.

Seeing that the divine power ape made several mistakes, Lin Huang had no choice but to temporarily withdraw it as a card, and summoned the ice flame white ape.The Ice Flame White Ape with the ice attribute is simply blessed in this climate.

The Ice Flame White Ape with thick white fur can draw away the chill from the surroundings with every inhalation, and form a hot air flow around the body with every exhalation, just like a giant air conditioner blowing hot air.

Riding on its shoulders, Lin Huang clearly felt that winter had returned to spring, and the extremely rapid life energy consumption also stopped.

Once the Bingyan White Ape was summoned, it also seemed very excited. After receiving Lin Huang's command to climb up, it began to climb all the way up, and the speed was not slower than that of the Divine Power Ape at the beginning.

Every slap it slaps on the cliff, there is no need to climb in the cracks, its palms will automatically condense frost, sticking itself to the bark, and the same is true for its feet.This level of climbing is almost like walking on flat ground for it.

The icy cold wind howling like a wild beast above his head could not break through the warmth brought by the breathing rhythm of Bingyan White Ape.

In less than 5 minutes, Bingyan White Ape carried Lin Huang to the dark cloud layer.

Black clouds faintly lingered around Bingyan White Ape's body, still unable to breathe and circulate, but Bingyan White Ape suddenly slowed down, and a voice came into Lin Huang's ears.

"Master, the black clouds here are good for me, I want to stay here for a while and swallow these black clouds."

Lin Huang knew that this was Bingyan White Ape's request.

"This is a virtual world. According to common sense, if you swallow the black clouds here, your body should not be affected. Just wait a moment, I'll ask other people." Lin Huang immediately contacted Yao Lan.

After connecting to the video, Yao Lan immediately noticed the color change of the summoned beast, "Hey, why did the color of the giant ape you raise change? Wasn't it golden before? Does it have the ability to change color?"

"This is another one..." Lin Huang said helplessly, "Let's not talk about this now, I have a question to ask you."

"Go ahead."

"If we get any benefits in this virtual world, it should be invalid to return to the real world?" Lin Huang raised his own doubts.

"Why do you ask that, you won't get any good things, right?" Yao Lan asked with wide-eyed eyes.

"No, my beast wants to use the black clouds in the second level to practice." Lin Huang said, moving the video angle a bit. "If it's useless, then I won't stay here."

Yao Lan saw the environment Lin Huang was in, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes. He suppressed the doubts in his heart and answered Lin Huang, "We cultivate in this world, and the effect of cultivation in the real world is the same. Yes. Even all the benefits obtained, all items, can be brought to the real world.”

"No way, I can understand the projection and simulation of real things in this world, but how can virtual things transform into real existence?" Lin Huang originally asked casually, but Yao Lan's answer was unexpected. Anticipated, "You are not deliberately fooling me, are you?"

"I may tease you about other things, but when it comes to your personal ladder points and our total points in the desert alliance, I won't be so unreasonable." The expression on Yao Lan's face does not seem to be Just kidding.

"All of us have the Emperor's Heart Ring in our hands, but the vast majority of people don't know that all the Emperor's Heart Rings on this continent are made from a magical tool called the Emperor's Heart. The virtual world of the Monster Alliance is also Created by the Emperor's Heart. The power of the Emperor's Heart does not lie in controlling the Emperor's Heart network that spreads throughout the human world. Rather, it can turn virtual things into real objects. What we have obtained here All items are real. The genius treasures we take here will really have an effect on our bodies, and the original treasures and semi-divine tools we get will really reflect the reality in our world. thing!"

"The ability to transform the virtual into reality... Even if it is a divine tool, having this ability is too heaven-defying."

Lin Huang was dumbfounded by Yao Lan's explanation. He even felt that this ability was even stronger than Xiao Hei's golden finger.

[This so-called emperor's heart should not be some magical tool.It is impossible for an artifact in the initial world to have the ability to transform the virtual into reality.Even now, I can only use part of the virtual to interfere with reality.There's a 99.998% chance that it's a golden finger made in the same place as mine. 】

Xiao Hei's prompt box suddenly jumped out in front of Lin Huang's eyes.

"What about 0.002%?" Lin Huang asked silently in his heart.

[0.002% may be a treasure that has experienced a high degree of evolution, after a long period of self-evolution, or followed the evolution of the strong, and was finally left behind in this gravel world.However, this possibility can almost be ruled out. 】

"However, if you want to bring virtual items to the real world, there is a condition, that is, you must put the items into the storage space of the Emperor's Heart Ring. If you just hold the items in your hand, or hide them in your clothes, you can just quit In the virtual world, items cannot be brought back to the real world. And next time you log in, the items that have not been put into the Emperor's Heart Ring will automatically disappear." Yao Lan quickly gave a further reminder, "So, when you If you get anything in the virtual world, you can either find a place to use it directly, or put it in the storage space immediately. Items that need to be traded should not be carried on your body, just take them out of the Emperor's Heart Ring when trading."
