The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

It was already afternoon when Moran got home.

As soon as she got home, she took out the two scouting notebooks that Teacher Yan Shuang had given her and read them until nightfall.

Both of these notebooks record a masterless space of the seventh-star level.

Among them, the medium-sized space without a main mirror is called the Blue Sand Sea.

According to Professor Yan Shuang's notes, this mirror space is an extremely monotonous yet strangely beautiful world.

There is only one color in the world—a deep and mysterious blue.

Everywhere there are blue pebbles like sapphire fragments, which make up the desert and hills.

In this blue sea of ​​sand, the only active biological community is a social mirror beast called the blue-tailed ant.

Their nests are scattered like giant blue beehives, buried deep beneath the sea of ​​sand.

The ant colony has a tight social structure, with the queen being the core and ruler of the entire colony. She has a seven-star rank and possesses powerful reproductive capabilities and mental control.

The vast numbers of male ants, worker ants, and more aggressive soldier ants, whose strength is generally around five to six stars, form the foundation and armed force of this blue kingdom.

Neither blue sand nor blue-tailed ants are unique species; they have been found and recorded in other mirror spaces as well, so they are not considered rare.

Although blue sand contains abundant earth and water elemental power and can be regarded as a magical material, it carries a chronic neurotoxin that is difficult to remove.

Whether through prolonged skin contact or accidental inhalation or ingestion, toxins accumulate in the body, gradually eroding mental and physical function.

Although blue-tailed ants have fed on and built nests in blue sand for generations and have evolved some resistance to toxins, they are still not completely immune.

This directly leads to their generally short lifespan, especially the worker and soldier ants at the bottom, whose lifespan is even shorter, relying entirely on the queen's strong reproductive capacity to maintain the population size.

It can be said that in the enclosed space of the blue sand sea, which lacks other organisms and has almost no natural enemies, the only factor that can limit the unlimited expansion of the blue-tailed ant population is their food source—blue sand.

Blue-tailed ants are not very valuable for hunting.

Among the blue-tailed ant colony, only the beast core produced by the queen ant has a certain skill extraction value because it contains the skill of "controlling the ant colony".

The cores of the remaining male ants, worker ants, and soldier ants can mostly only be used as energy materials for casting water-attribute skills, and are highly replaceable.

Moreover, blue-tailed ants always move in large groups, often numbering in the hundreds or thousands, or even more.

Once they encounter outsiders, they will launch a frenzied and fearless attack.

Among the many known Seven-Star Mirror Beasts, the Blue-tailed Ant is widely recognized as a troublesome and undesirable species due to its massive numbers, frenzied aggression, and low yield.

In summary, the exploration value of the Blue Sand Sea is indeed pitifully low.

Another small mirror space is called "Moss Secret Forest".

According to the notes, this mirror space seems to have a much higher biodiversity than the Blue Sand Sea.

Inside the space, there were some common trees, and the ground was covered with thick, soft green moss—yes, the same kind that the doctor gave Moran to eat when she first came to this world.

Green moss is the most common healing magical plant, widely used in various medical fields, both internally and externally. There are also a few trickling streams and a small pond.

The ruler of this mirror space is a seven-star moss guardian.

This is a relatively gentle plant-type mirror beast that mainly guards its territory. It looks like an ancient tree covered with thick moss and vines. It usually takes root by the pond in the center of the secret realm, moves slowly, and often appears in some ancient forests with a strong natural atmosphere.

Besides these, there are only some low- to mid-star mirror beasts below five stars with gentle temperaments.

Examples include the glowing forest deer with luminous fur, the moss mouse that feeds on moss, the white dew bird that feeds on morning dew, and some insect-like mirror beasts.

It is relatively easy to clean up and poses almost no great threat.

Besides the green moss, other magical plants also grow in the space, most of which are attached to the "Moss Guardian".

Most of these plants have functions such as calming the mind, providing dim lighting, and condensing pure water droplets, but they are not very useful and are not particularly precious or rare.

If the blue sand sea is classified as a resource-poor mirror space because it has a single species and no precious special products, resulting in low development value, then the dense moss forest is classified as a resource-poor mirror space because it is small in area, and although its energy cycle is self-contained, its resilience is limited and its ecology is fragile.

Once the unique magical plants and mirror beasts inside are collected or hunted, they have a hard time recovering naturally due to their own mechanisms.

In fact, almost all small mirror spaces have this inherent flaw, so they are generally not suitable for large-scale development and most of them have become private mirror spaces.

In a small mirror-like space, dense forests and moss are already considered to have many advantages.

Its advantages include high biodiversity, a livable climate, and minimal threat from mirror beasts. However, its resources are of relatively average quality. Apart from the moss guardian, the most valuable things in the entire mirror space are the green moss covering the ground and the space itself.

In her notes, Teacher Yan Shuang commented that the blue sand sea was suitable for use as a training ground, while the dense moss forest could be set up as a training room or a resting place.

For those with a talent for exploring mirrors of 85 or even 90 points or higher, becoming the master of a small or medium-sized mirror space would place little or no burden on their mental energy. It would be quite good to have one or two such mirror spaces as personal spaces.

However, Yan Shuang's talent for using the camera is only 84 points; just one point short makes all the difference.

Unless one is willing to sacrifice the collapse of their spiritual sea to recognize the main mirror space, they will basically have no chance with the mirror owner.

The entrance to the Blue Sand Sea Mirror Space is located within the Sunset Bay of the Long Island Mirror Seven Star Mirror Space.

There is a blue sand beach on the eastern side of Sunset Bay.

Dig a large pit with a diameter of more than five meters, fill it with seawater, and when the afterglow of the setting sun falls into the seawater in the pit, throw in a blue-tailed ant's core to open the teleportation portal.

The entrance to the Forest Moss Mirror Space is located within the Ice Lake Plateau of the Cloud Mist Mirror Seven Star Mirror Space.

You need to go deep into the snow caves within the glacial lake plateau and find a green space located inside the snow caves.

There is a small pond in the green space.

Once all the fish, regardless of size, are removed from the pond and the surface is frozen, the ice will become a teleportation entrance. However, you cannot enter through the ice; you must enter through the pond itself.

Once you touch the surface where ice and water meet, you can enter the Mirror Space of the Dense Forest.

With such a complicated entry method, it's no wonder that Teacher Yan Shuang said no one has probably discovered it yet. (End of Chapter)
