The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Chapter 722 Dream World 60
Moran nodded, his eyes showing both anticipation for the exploration zone and reluctance to part with Teacher Martina.

Once she leaves, there's a high chance she won't come back.

Moran gazed at Martina's hunched figure, his throat tightening slightly.

To her, Teacher Martina was different from the other teachers in the Transformation Class in Greenwood Village. After spending a year together, she had begun to miss Teacher Martina.

"Teacher, I..."

Before Moran could speak, Martina waved her hand to interrupt her: "If you're leaving, hurry up and pack your bags! I haven't visited any friends in a long time anyway. I won't have time to see you off when you leave!"

His tone was as fierce as ever, only the end of his voice trembled slightly.

Moran paused for a moment, then smiled.

The lingering sorrow in my heart was dispelled by the teacher's gruff yet caring tone.

On the day I left the village, the first rays of dawn had just pierced through the cracks in the Shadow Village cave.

Moran stood in front of the hole leading to the ground and looked back, but as expected, he did not see that familiar figure.

Only Leah chased after her, carrying a bag of still-steaming blackberry cookies, insisting on taking her to the ground.

“Ms. Martina left before dawn.” Leah shoved the biscuit into Moran’s hand. “But she asked me to tell you…” The girl suddenly lowered her voice, mimicking Martina’s hoarse tone, “If you dare to die outside, I’ll catch your shadow and boil it into soup!”

Moran chuckled, "Please tell the teacher that I will definitely live a good life, no matter where I am!"

She glanced one last time at Shadow Village behind her before stepping into the cave.

In an inconspicuous attic window, a dark shadow seemed to flash by, resembling the black cloak that someone often wore.

Moran nibbled on the blackberry cookies Lia had given her as she nimbly traversed the rugged stone forest of Moonshadow Floating Island.

The slightly bitter sweetness of the biscuit melted on her tongue, reminding her of the blackberry honey that Teacher Martina always liked to add to her tea.

After finishing the last cookie, Moran clapped his hands, channeled his magic into the power of shadow, and let the shadow envelop him as he vanished into the world of shadow.

During the day, the stone forest was full of shadows that she could find shelter in. In this world of shadows, she leaped lightly between the connected shadows, sometimes jumping from the shadow of a boulder into the dark corner of a rock crevice, and sometimes moving quickly by taking advantage of the shadows of birds flying by.

For the Shadowfolk, the Shadow World is like fish in water. As long as the power of shadow is abundant, it is far safer than the perilous outside world.

Within just a few hours, Moran had already reached the edge of Moonshadow Floating Island.

An endless pink abyss stretched out before us, its color resembling a sea of ​​clouds dyed red by the morning glow, yet carrying a sense of unreal illusion.

Ripples occasionally spread across the surface of the pink abyss, as if it were breathing.

This is the "Pink Abyss" that is omnipresent in the dream world.

All the land in the dream world consists of scattered floating islands, drifting above the pink abyss.

The floating islands in the beginner area are relatively stable, but the further you go into the exploration area, the more likely those floating islands will be here today and gone tomorrow.

According to the forum, anything that falls into the Pink Abyss will disappear forever.

Even in the Shadow World, Moran sensed the chaotic and dangerous energy within the Pink Abyss. She cautiously took a half-step back, using the shadow of the stone mountain behind her to travel to the summit before leaving the Shadow World. Light bridges that could cross the Pink Abyss appeared at the edges of each floating island. Standing atop the stone mountain, Moran looked out and not only saw the faint outlines of small floating islands in the distance, but also located the light bridges.

The Bridge of Light is the only way to cross the Pink Abyss.

The light bridge itself has no shadows, so relying on shadows to walk across it quickly is not feasible.

Just like when she came to Moonshadow Floating Island, Moran transformed into a Sky Eagle and flew over.

After crossing four or five floating islands, she finally arrived at the light bridge leading to the exploration area.

According to the information she had just found on the forum during the day, this bridge of light should lead to a place called Suspended Floating Island.

This floating island has been on the edge of the exploration zone for seven or eight years. Although its area expands and contracts periodically like breathing, its overall position remains unusually stable.

Veteran adventurers on the forum even joked that in a few years it might be relegated to the beginner zone.

Although the floating islands are quite stable, they are also very dangerous and offer low exploration rewards, so most adventurers heading to the exploration area would rather take a longer route than pass through them.

Moran chose to travel to the exploration area from here mainly because the island has a single-player dream instance called "Gold Mine" with no level cap.

This is the only solo dream instance with no level cap that she can currently pinpoint the exact location of.

Other similar dungeons are located deep within the exploration area. Although there is information about these dungeons on the forums, it is not easy to find their locations in the ever-changing depths of the exploration area.

However, although this dungeon called "Gold Mine" has no level cap, it does have a minimum entry level of 60.

Fortunately, she has accumulated enough experience points to raise her Shadow Hunter class level to the minimum level required to enter this dungeon.

Moran flapped her wings and flew along the light bridge towards the floating island on the other side.

At first, she flew slowly, as she needed to first determine the gravity field on the other side of the floating island.

The reason why the floating islands are dangerous is because of the chaotic gravity field on the islands.

Seeing the rocks on the floating island on the opposite shore suspended in mid-air at an impossible angle, as if kneaded by an invisible hand, with the waterfall flowing upstream and the water droplets condensing into sparkling chains in the sunlight, Moran breathed a slight sigh of relief:

"It appears to be a zero-gravity region."

Compared to supergravity fields that make it impossible to move and antigravity fields that cause all objects to fall into the sky, zero gravity fields that simply cause all objects to lose gravity and float in the air are much easier to deal with.

However, the gravitational field is not fixed and can change at any time.

Fearing the possibility of an anti-gravity field appearing at any moment, Moran dared not deactivate his deformed state.

The ability to fly is a guarantee that you won't fall into the endless sky when an anti-gravity field appears.

However, she can't fly too fast or too high, otherwise, after the supergravity field appears, she might suddenly fall to the ground and get injured. Only low-altitude, slow-speed flight is safer.

Moran flew while searching for the entrance to the underground passage.

When the floating island first drifted to the vicinity of the beginner area, it was once a popular destination for adventurers to explore.

However, as time went on, adventurers discovered that the surface of this floating island was almost barren, and the underground mineral veins were too special, with only one source and no local dreamers researching and developing them. This resulted in the minerals being rare but not very practical. Once mined, there were no ways to monetize them, and no one knew where to use them, so they were gradually neglected.
