When Xue Hua opened his eyes again, he looked around and found that he was on an altar in a narrow valley.
Looking around, there are black barren rock cliffs and a dead wasteland with no grass growing on all sides. There is only black dust haze on the dry land, and the surface of the rock cliffs around the valley is only a piece of rugged gravel.
Not even a hint of other colors could be seen. Fortunately, there was a faint light on the distant horizon, otherwise this pitch-black scene would have almost merged with the equally pitch-black night sky above!
"Is this the second world...It's a little different from what I imagined..."
Xue Hua sighed helplessly.
"Then what do you imagine the second world to be like, newcomer?"
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from beside Xue Hua, successfully startling him.
He turned around and saw a tall man wearing a black velvet cloak with a serious and even livid face standing behind him at some point.
Wow! What’s going on with this guy?!
"Isa, why didn't you warn me when someone approached me?"
Xue Hua questioned the adjutant in the mind of the main nest. This was the first time that someone had touched him at such a close distance without anyone noticing.
His legendary perception has obviously been opened for a long time, but this guy seems to not exist in his perception.
What's more puzzling to him is that even Isa didn't react at all to this guy's approach!
You must know that although he has just arrived in the second world and the high-altitude surveillance system to monitor the king insects and node king insects has not yet been deployed, Isa is the last layer of barrier to protect his safety.
If this guy had malicious intentions just now and was caught off guard, he would have suffered a big loss!
"Master, this human has a strong invisibility ability, and is equipped with items that conceal his spiritual energy. Without the support of the monitoring king insect's vision, the adjutant cannot detect him.
Please let the King Insect take off as soon as possible to ensure vigilance and detection of surrounding threats."
"...I understand." Xue Hua responded in the main nest mind, and then looked at the black velvet cloak on the person.
It should be that this thing covers this guy's psychic aura. Although Isa is a high-level commander of the Zerg, it cannot see through this high-level stealth skill without the support of the monitoring king insect's vision.
"Okay newcomer, we can't stand here anymore. Although this is our controlled area, no place is absolutely safe in the second world. You must be vigilant at all times. This is the first lesson. I understand.
?"
The man with a serious face gave him a brief lecture, then turned around neatly and walked towards a crack in the cliff nearby.
"Uh... Okay." Xue Hua rolled his eyes. He was actually scolded by others as soon as he came over, which made him feel a little embarrassed.
However, the world rules here seemed a bit strange, and Xue Hua found that he could not directly see other people's professional information like he could in the shelter world.
All attribute detection systems, including level and occupation, seem to have lost their effectiveness.
Therefore, Xue Hua could only judge from the fact that he could not sense the original aura in this guy that the leader who suddenly appeared in front of him was not a legendary powerhouse.
In other words, at least not a legendary powerhouse who has come into contact with the original.
It seems that there are still many differences between this place and the shelter world...
While Xue Hua was thinking this, he followed the man in the black cloak and ran towards the crack in the rock wall.
Soon, he followed the guy in front of him to the crack in the mountain wall, and at the opening of the crack, stood a female professional holding a long bow and looking wary.
Seeing the two of them approaching, the female professional who looked like an Amazon nodded to the black cloak walking in front. It was obvious that the two knew each other.
But she still asked Black Cloak unambiguously: "Secret order."
"Platinum flowers and bluegrass."
"Blood potion."
"Okay, let's go in. Are there new people here?" The female professional stepped aside and glanced at Xue Hua, who was following behind.
"Yes, a group of people came here a few months ago, and now another one has come. It seems that there are a lot of talents coming out of the first world recently!
But this little guy is interesting, he actually came here alone."
The black cloak chatted with the female archer for a few words, and at the same time looked back at Xue Hua, with a bit of surprise in his eyes.
You must know that the trial of the World Stone is not a simple trial that is easy to complete.
Under normal circumstances, new professionals who pass the trial and reach the second world do so in a team of several people.
It's not impossible for a single person to teleport over, but it's indeed quite rare.
After a brief chat, Black Cloak led Xue Hua into the crack. It wasn't until he entered a deep place in the crack that Black Cloak took off the hood on his head.
While he continued to lead Xue Hua through a long, narrow and dark stone corridor, he spoke to Xue Hua in a tone of imparting experience.
"The second world is a little different from our world. The power of the Holy Pact cannot completely cover this place, so many of the power of the Holy Pact are not applicable here, such as the level detection method. You shouldn't be able to see my level and profession, right?
"
Seeing Xue Hua nod, Black Cloak continued.
"I can't see you either. The same situation will happen when facing evil consorts and demons.
So here, when facing the enemy, you have to rely on experience to judge the strength. It is best not to rush towards the enemy when you see it. If you kick the enemy on the iron plate, you will not be able to recover.
Remember, investigation is very important, this is the second lesson."
"Well, thank you, I'll remember it." Xue Hua nodded and thanked him seriously.
Although the guy in front of me is a bit chatty and likes to teach others, the experience he imparted is indeed very useful to Xue Hua, who is new here.
The black cloak nodded, accepting the thank you, and then he turned around and asked as if he suddenly remembered something.
"By the way, what's your name and where do you come from?"
"My name is Xue Hua, you can call me Xue. I come from Rogge Camp in the Khanduras Mountains. What about you?"
Xue Hua replied.
"Xue Hua...I don't know why, but your name always sounds familiar to me!
But forget it, maybe it's my misunderstanding.
My name is Ronnie, and I'm from Westmarch, but I'm not a paladin, I'm a druid."
Ronnie in the black cloak turned his head and smiled at Xue Hua. Since he seemed to be used to serious expressions, this smile seemed a bit awkward...even a bit sinister...
"I am a necromancer...but why do you have to emphasize that you are not a paladin?"
"Because I happen to be from Branwell, the capital of knights, so... you know..."
Ronnie rolled his eyes helplessly and replied.
Xue Hua instantly understood what he meant. This was just like the regional misunderstanding in the previous life. People from a certain place must have the local characteristics of that place.
Anyone from Branwell must be a Paladin.
In fact, this is not certain at all...
Just like Xue Hua, whose hometown is rich in a certain kind of wine, didn't know how to drink in his previous life...
The two chatted while walking, and soon walked out of the long and dark stone path and entered a vast space built in a cave.
At this time, Ronnie, who was walking in front, stepped aside and allowed Xue Hua to see the scene in the cave.
It was a camp built with many tents, and the camp was bustling with people, obviously there were many people among them.
"Welcome to the second world, Xue, this will be your first stop - the Blackstone connection point." (To be continued)
