The blazing light in the old man's eyes seemed to penetrate Zi Chen's soul and peer into all his secrets.
Zi Chen looked at the old man with a faint smile on his face, seemingly unaffected at all.
The light flashed away, like an illusion.
But Zi Chen knew very well that the scene just now really happened.
An old man who is responsible for the resources of Jiuxing Scavengers is definitely not an ordinary old man who is dying.
"Zi Chen passed the test, he wants one last thing."
Yunxi spoke again.
The old man said: "Identity tag."
Zi Chen took off his identity medal.
The old man took it in his hand and inspected it, then stretched out his hand and wiped it on it.
The fingertips glowed with light, and a special logo disappeared.
Then the old man put down the medal and lowered his head to open a drawer. Colorful lights flashed in the drawer, making it difficult to see what was inside, as if it contained a space.
The old man rummaged inside and finally took out an animal skin bag.
He threw the animal skin bag on the table, "It's all about the mantra spell. If it's useful, keep it. If you think it's useless, just give it back to me and you can exchange it for eight-star resources."
This is Zi Chen's choice.
A piece of news about the mantra.
Whether it was true or false, Zi Chen had to go and see it.
Compared with the previous ones, this piece of news seems to be the most useless, which is why Yunxi was surprised when he heard it.
But Zi Chen knew very well what the news of a mantra meant.
If it can be discovered, it will be priceless.
Although the first eight items are all valuable, compared with the real mantra, they are not even a drop in the bucket.
Zi Chen put away the animal skin bag and smiled kindly at the old man.
"Where are we going next?" The old man looked at Yun Xi.
Yun Xi felt a little sad and lamented, "We have to go to the eighth continent. It's not peaceful there lately."
"I see that you are in a bad mood. Is this a bad start?" The old man smiled.
"The jade plate is broken, and one thing that can save your life is missing."
The old man was very surprised and said, "It seems that you have met a formidable enemy."
"Don't mention it, I have never seen such a terrifying existence, even more terrifying than those lunatics on the Eighth Continent."
Yun Xi frowned and said, "Without the jade plate, we are going to the eighth continent this time. Life or death is uncertain. Old man, can you borrow something for self-defense?"
The old man snorted, "Don't worry, you won't die. I'll find someone to figure it out. You're lucky."
After hearing these words from the old man, it was obvious that there was no chance.
He turned to look at Zi Chen, "Zi Chen, do you need anything else? When we go on a dangerous mission, we can advance an item. This time we go to the eighth continent, even if this condition is triggered."
Then he looked at the old man and motioned for him to take out the list.
The old man took a deep look at Yunxi, and then took out another booklet, this time it was much thicker.
After Zi Chen opened it, there were many things inside, including various resources, not only for life-saving, but also for cultivation.
"What's the price?"
Zi Chen asked casually, but his eyes were fixed on the content above.
"This is an early defense against danger at no cost."
Yun Xi said with a smile.
The old man did not speak, even if Zi Chen was not qualified, but Yun Xi was here, and if he said enough was enough, it would naturally be enough.
After all, Yunxi still has this authority.
Zi Chen pointed at something and asked, "What is this Sacred Heart Lotus?"
Sacred Heart Lotus can restore injuries. Even a seriously injured body can recover in a short time after swallowing it.
It's a bit like Zi Chen's Ice Lotus, but after years of use, this thing is also a rare item in the Holy Spirit world.
Yun Xi explained: "It is the lotus seeds grown from Thousand Lotus Paths. It has been refined twice and its efficacy has been improved."
When Zi Chen got lotus flowers, he was naturally lucky enough to get some lotus seeds, but he never knew how to use them.
Zi Chen asked: "What if it is an unrefined lotus seed?"
"Without refining, it has about seven successes." This time it was the old man's answer.
"How much can I advance for something like this?" Zi Chen asked again.
The old man held out three fingers and said, "Three is the limit."
Zi Chen nodded and chose this item.
The old man took out a special jade vase with three Sacred Heart Lotuses in it.
After that, Yunxi took Zichen to another place, and at the same time took out a piece of information and asked Zichen to read it as soon as possible and go to the Eighth Continent early tomorrow morning.
At that time, the land of Longzhou suffered drastic changes in the world and was divided into nine continents.
There are no humans left on the first three continents.
The fourth continent became a wasteland, and scavengers relied on the wasteland to make a living.
The fifth and sixth lands are also places similar to wastelands.
The human race mainly lives on the seventh continent, where there are various forces.
Among them, Shengui Villa, Scavenger, Shenyi Palace, Feihua Palace, etc. are all first-rate forces.
But in the eighth continent, these forces are not enough.
After seeing the details above, Zi Chen realized that the area of the eighth continent was actually larger than the seventh continent.
The Eighth Continent also has various forces, but many of the people who created the forces are outsiders.
The eighth land has vast resources, but a relatively small population.
The place is unruly and has almost no rules. Everything is mainly about robbery and is not suitable for human habitation.
The scavengers occupy less than a hundred miles of territory on the eighth continent, and there is a mineral vein in it that has been attacked continuously recently, resulting in considerable losses.
the next day.
Before leaving, Zi Chen and Yun Xi came to the temple to offer incense to the statue.
This is the founder of the first generation of scavengers, and it is also the belief of all scavengers.
After burning incense, the two went to the back mountain, where there was an unstable space. With the help of special tools, they could enter the eighth land.
"After entering the eighth continent, you must be more careful. It is not like the fourth continent where you can come and go freely." Yun Xi warned again: "Wherever you go, you have to come back."
Zi Chen nodded, this is a very important message.
In an unstable space, there is an eight-star scavenger who is responsible for ferrying people back and forth.
The two got on the special boat and broke through the space to enter the eighth continent.
The boat landed on a hill.
The sky is blue, cloudless, and occasionally ripples.
Yun Xi smiled and asked, "Zi Chen, how do you feel?"
"The space is chaotic. The world of this eighth continent is very unstable." Zi Chen lamented.
As the mental power spreads, the power of space is constantly surging. Although there are no cracks, this chaotic space will also greatly affect perception, especially the impact on mental power.
It would be inappropriate to say that it is not suitable for practice.
Because the aura of heaven and earth here is particularly strong, there are signs of prosperity everywhere in the field of vision.
"Yunxi."
A person came from a distance.
Yun Xi turned around and looked at the person coming, "Zhao Ya."
The opponent fell down, and after seeing Zi Chen beside him, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes, "Nine-star scavenger?"
"I don't know you."
Yun Xi smiled and said: "Let me introduce you to Zi Chen. He was just promoted and happened to come with me this time."
"Zhao Ya is also a nine-star scavenger, and because he has been stationed on the eighth continent all year round, Zhao Ya's combat effectiveness is also top-notch among the nine-star scavengers."
As the two parties introduced each other, Zi Chen hugged Zhao Ya's fists. He didn't like shaking hands.
"With you two here, I feel relieved."
Zhao Ya smiled bitterly and said, "The recent losses are too great. Those lunatics often come to cause trouble."
Under the leadership of Zhao Ya, the three of them flew north.
After only a dozen miles, Zi Chen saw a large number of buildings, all of which were occupied by people.
Their aura is not strong.
Sensing the change in Zi Chen's expression, Zhao Ya explained: "It's absenteeism. We recruited them from the Seventh Continent. Originally, at this time, they should be in the mine. But the situation has been too chaotic recently, and those lunatics often come here and absenteeism."
There were a lot of casualties, so I didn’t let them start work.”
Zi Chen noticed that this place was protected by a magic circle.
Being able to care so much about the lives of these absentees made Zi Chen's impression of Zhao Ya a little better.
Passed by the workers' residence and arrived at the outer area.
There are many rooms here, but there are not many people inside, and their aura is not weak.
"Zi Chen, Yun Xi, you can choose any two of these places to stay."
It's the front row seat. Zhao Ya pointed to one of them, "That's mine. I suggest you two live next door to me. If anything happens, you can still take care of us."
Zi Chen naturally had no objection.
Yun Xi also nodded and helped Zi Chen choose a room.
"They just came yesterday. They probably won't come today. Come on, let's go have a drink."
Zhao Ya shouted to the side: "Xiao Wu, don't peek, go get something to eat and let Yunxi have a taste of your craftsmanship."
A young man walked out of the darkness and saluted the two of them with clasped fists from a distance.
Yun Xi waved his hand and said, "Xiao Wu, I brought a friend with me. Today we will see your skills. If you entertain my friend well, I will be able to teach you some tricks."
Xiao Wu clasped his fists at Zi Chen again, eyes full of gratitude, and then entered the forest.
In Zhao Ya's courtyard, there was a set of stone tables and benches. The three of them sat down, and Zhao Ya took out a few bottles of wine and some dried meat, "Xiao Wu hasn't come back yet, let's drink together."
Yun Xi picked up the dried meat and took a bite, "Zi Chen, you should try it too."
Zi Chen picked up a small piece and took a bite. He was a little surprised to find that it was still made of wild beast meat.
"Enthusiastic enough, right?" Yun Xi smiled.
Zi Chen nodded and then raised the wine bottle.
He knew very well the value of desolate beasts in the land of Longzhou, and it was indeed enthusiastic to offer desolate beast meat to them.
"It tastes good." Zi Chen commented.
The wine bottle was lightly knocked.
"That's natural. This is wild beast meat, and I don't have much in stock."
Zhao Ya said: "Fortunately, you two are nine stars. If it were eight stars, don't even think about this."
Zi Chen smiled and said: "If we can add a few more seasonings, the taste will be better."
"Is there any explanation inside?" Zhao Ya asked doubtfully.
"Zhao Ya, don't think Zi Chen is tricking you, he is a real expert." Yun Xi smiled and said: "Besides, Zi Chen may have eaten more wild beast meat than you have ever seen."
