Is it difficult to evolve your beast?

Chapter 196 Heading to

With nothing much to do while sitting on the griffin's back, Ji Zhang told Jiang Feng about his experiences in the Illusionary Spirit Realm and how to handle certain situations.

Jiang Feng listened very attentively.

As they approached their destination, Ji Zhang said to Jiang Feng, "There have been many people here recently, all of them are here to explore."

The newly opened Illusionary Realm means that everything is new, and naturally, it contains the most resources.

The first wave often yields a considerable amount of results.

Of course, the risks are also very high.

There was a case where a group of people entered the Illusionary Realm and all of them died.

However, countless people still flock here.

If you manage to get out of there successfully, and your luck isn't too bad, you'll be able to acquire a fortune.

The griffin landed outside the city, and Ji Zhang led Jiang Feng into the small town.

Yes, this is in a small town in the buffer zone near the border.

The town, which was originally sparsely populated, suddenly saw a surge of people due to the appearance of the Illusionary Realm.

No one has been able to touch the core of the Illusionary Realm so far, which is why the Illusionary Realm cannot be moved.

Jiang Feng also heard about it from Ji Zhang.

Finding the fragments that control such a large-scale illusionary realm is extremely difficult.

It will take at least a few years.

The large-scale Phantom Realms on the high seas have been explored by all of humanity for at least twenty years, but no one has yet found the hidden scroll fragments within them.

Of course, this is also why everyone has been adhering to the agreement of the Global University Beast Tamer Association for so many years.

If a country were to obtain the fragments—there would likely be a lot of arguing about it then.

Domestically, the ownership of the Illusionary Realm belongs to whoever discovers it.

With the state acting as guarantor, if any robbery resulting in death occurs, this Phantom Realm will become public property and be opened to the public free of charge.

It is precisely because of this that there have been few incidents of malicious struggle for ownership of the Illusionary Realm so far.

It definitely exists; such lucrative ventures are impossible to prevent at their source.

Most people without any background, upon discovering the Illusionary Realm, would immediately contact the military through their communicators and directly trade the Illusionary Realm to the military, as this was the best way to protect themselves.

Jiang Feng followed Ji Zhang, but instead of entering the town, they headed in another direction.

"The place where the Illusionary Realm was discovered is in the farmland outside the city." The main reason so many people are coming into the city is that they want to eat something, wait for their teammates, or want to observe the situation further.

The first group of people who entered the Illusionary Realm have emerged with great success, but the death toll has also been high.

However, the first group to enter were neither military personnel nor those sent by large corporations to develop this illusion and obtain the first batch of resources.

Therefore, it is quite normal to have a death toll.

A week has passed, and the military and various families and corporations have assembled and are preparing to enter this newly discovered Illusionary Realm.

Because of the rules, all output within the Illusionary Realm belongs to the discoverer until the control fragment is found.

Only the control fragments need to be handed over to the master of the Illusionary Realm.

When a fragment of the Illusionary Realm is found, it will release a unique wave of illusionary energy, making it impossible to fake.

This fluctuation is the result of decades of research and experience.

Once the fluctuation occurs, those who have obtained the Illusionary Realm will begin to enter and investigate.

That thing can't be put into the spatial button, so it's easy to find.

Most people are very particular about rules, especially in an officially controlled Phantom Realm like this.

"Is there a reward if we find it?" This kind of thing doesn't seem to have any benefits. What if everyone goes in and then doesn't look?

"Of course. If you help everyone in the Illusionary Realm find that control fragment, you can generally get more than five years of free access."

"free?"

"Yes, and regardless of what the future purpose of this Illusionary Realm is—whether it serves as a resource site or as an open Illusionary Realm—entry will be free."

"The resources obtained during this process do not need to be handed over." This is a tremendous reward.

Going in with a spatial button, even if you only bring out a spatial button's worth of magic stones, is still a great fortune.

Moreover, the benefits of free access go beyond that.

Some Illusionary Realms regularly produce good items, and precious high-level Illusionary Treasures can grow anywhere in some Illusionary Realms.

Every year, there are professional "treasure hunters" in those illusory realms.

If we find those precious high-level magical treasures, it will be a great fortune.

"After we went in, we chose a secluded spot to walk."

"Perfect, let me see how much you've improved in the last six months."

Jiang Feng's magical beast is special, and it definitely cannot be shown when there are many people around. Otherwise, her and Ji Zhang's disguise at this time would be meaningless.

The good thing is that this Illusionary Realm is really big.

The influx of hundreds or thousands of people was like ants entering the earth; once they dispersed, it was impossible to encounter them again in a short period of time.

However, there are requirements for entering this illusory realm.

If it is a seven-person team, all members of the team must be at least level four in Beastmaster.

If it's a solo player, you need to be at level 5 or higher.

For someone like Ji Zhang to bring along a junior who is not of a sufficient level, it would require the sixth rank.

Ji Zhang took out his Beast Tamer certificate and handed it to the person guarding the door.

Sixth-tier Beast Tamer.

Jiang Feng naturally didn't need to show any identification; the rule was that a sixth-level beast tamer could bring an ordinary person in.

So the two of them entered the Illusionary Realm with ease. As soon as they entered, Jiang Feng was shocked by the scenery before him.

The trees were covered in silver, a blinding expanse of white stretching as far as the eye could see.

Jiang Feng shivered involuntarily, causing Ji Zhang to look down at her and ask, "Are you cold?"

"It's not cold, but it looks cold." This is at most a conditioned reflex.

Ji Zhang chuckled: "I've read the information about this Illusionary Spirit Realm. There are many lakes in it, so the ones in front are all frozen lakes."

The place where they were standing was, of course, still land.

The ice on the lake looked very solid; there wouldn't be much of a problem walking on it.

"Not all areas here have snow, and the mythical beast we're looking for..."

"On the mountain." As soon as Ji Zhang finished speaking, Jiang Feng understood.

Her requirements for this mythical beast were the attributes of defense and healing.

Water-attribute mythical beasts that live in the mountains should have defensive attributes, and if they are near hot springs, they are likely to have healing attributes.

These are all experiences that humans have gained over the years in searching for mythical beasts in the Illusionary Realm.

So Jiang Feng and his group were no exception this time. They didn't need to look for fire-attribute magical beasts; they only needed to find a water-attribute magical beast.

With the target lowered this time, they have more time.

Ji Zhang and Jiang Feng quickly left the crowded area and crossed into the forest.

Most of the trees in the forest were bare, covered in frost, but some remained green.

Jiang Feng had been to very few places, so she was naturally looking around curiously. With Ji Zhang by her side, she felt quite safe.

"I won't deal with any phantom beasts below the third rank; you'll have them all," Ji Zhang said quietly to Jiang Feng without saying anything more.

"Release your two phantom beasts to fight; there are no outsiders around here."

Ji Zhang naturally released his dark attribute phantom beast to explore the surrounding environment. As long as the phantom power was not as high as his, or the strength was not much higher than his, he could notice the other party.

Upon hearing Ji Zhang's words, Jiang Feng naturally released his newly advanced second-tier fighting deer.

After working together with Doulu for a whole day yesterday, Jiang Feng has learned Doulu's latest skills.

【charge】

This charge is different from the Light and Shadow.

Light and Shadow is an area-of-effect attack skill that consumes a lot of magic power and is not very convenient to use.

Therefore, the Fighting Deer gains a new skill, [Charge], in its second tier.

This is a melee attack skill. After using this skill, the Fighting Deer will be strengthened all over and then rush forward at an extremely fast speed.

With the added impact and enhanced power, it strikes the enemy, unleashing a rather deadly attack.

Of course, Jiang Feng is still studying the specific effects of this skill.

The charges we can use now are far too rigid.

Four months have passed, and Jiang Feng has fully mastered and completely disassembled Doulu's first amplification skill.

Now, the increase in the Fighting Deer's power can be accurately targeted to releasing one of them.

Speed, defense, strength, resistance, acuity.

These five items were separated by Jiang Feng.

There is a difference between defense and resistance. Defense is only about defending against attacks, while resistance is about resisting negative effects and control over one's life.

Keenness is naturally an enhancement of sensory abilities, enabling one to strengthen one's five senses.

This allows people to perceive more subtle changes in the environment.

Soon, Jiang Feng discovered a mythical beast.

Now, even first-tier phantom beasts will try to run away when they see Jiang Feng.

After all, the two phantom beasts beside Jiang Feng didn't look weak at all.

Jiang Feng will no longer take the initiative to attack first-tier phantom beasts.

Attacking a first-tier phantom beast no longer provides her with any advantage.

In this situation, it's natural not to waste each other's time.

Jiang Feng is now facing a second-tier phantom beast.

Last time, it was extremely difficult for Jiang Feng and Yin Jiao to deal with a second-tier phantom beast, but it's not like that now.

A month ago, Jiang Feng and his companions hunted down a second-tier phantom beast that was about to reach the third tier in the Phantom Realm.

That battle was exhilarating and incredibly enjoyable.

Now, when facing ordinary second-tier phantom beasts, Jiang Feng naturally doesn't feel much pressure.

She immediately unleashed her second-tier skill, and the deer charged forward.

This trip wasn't just to help her fight back with the contract, but also to familiarize her with the new skills she gained from fighting deer.

Jiang Feng trusted Ji Zhang completely, and naturally felt very relaxed with him by his side.

If it were just one person, the experiment might require selecting some mythical beasts that weren't particularly powerful.

But with Ji Zhang around, she could choose even more powerful magical beasts; after all, her uncle would back her up.

Jiang Feng hasn't had time to test the strength of Dou Lu's second-tier skill yet.

Ji Zhang went out for a day yesterday and brought back a lot of equipment.

But not enough.

According to Ji Zhang, he was planning to build a cultivation room at home during this period.

Many things in the home are indeed useful, but modern equipment is clearly not available in the home.

If you have access to more modern technology, you should naturally use more modern technology.

Only by keeping up with the times and not being limited by the past can we become stronger.

Dou Lu ran off at top speed, while Jiang Feng pondered what could be changed about this skill.

In fact, this skill, like other skills, can be divided into several parts.

The first priority is acceleration, and the second is impact.

If acceleration and impact are combined, will the problem of not being able to stop running occur as before?

The deer crashed into the mythical beast.

In reality, what Jiang Feng saw was not a direct contact between the two phantom beasts, but rather the Fighting Deer's skill, which enveloped the Fighting Deer's appearance and made contact with the phantom beast.

Then the phantom beast flew backward.

During this process, the antlers of the fighting deer seemed to carry phantom images, which was the main method of attack.

The fighting deer is not as tall as it used to be; its height has decreased from three meters to 1.8 meters with the antlers.

Of course, it can also be directly changed to three meters.

This body type allows for greater agility in combat, while the power of the skills released remains undiminished.

For example, Jiang Feng then had Dou Lu use the Light and Shadow skill once.

The size of the Light and Shadow used this time is the same as before, and it even looks much more powerful than before.

The second-tier phantom beast they encountered wasn't particularly strong at all. Jiang Feng's Yin-Yang Slash followed up immediately, giving the opponent no room to retaliate or catch their breath.

The battle lasted no more than ten minutes before Jiang Feng emerged victorious. Ji Zhang, who had been sitting to the side, keeping his presence hidden, smiled with satisfaction.

Ten minutes!

Jiang Feng has only just entered the second stage!

"You'll be able to go to the front lines when the ferocious beasts attack Jinyang City next year!"

Second-, third-, and fourth-tier ferocious beasts are the main force in ferocious beast sieges.

Second-, third-, and fourth-tier beast tamers are naturally the main force in defending the city.

This was a form of recognition for Jiang Feng, and a smile immediately appeared on her face after Ji Zhang finished speaking.

"Let's keep moving forward!" Jiang Feng had some new ideas about the new skills of the Fighting Deer during the battle just now.

Beside him, Xuan Yi was itching to make a move.

"Awoo~ Awoo~" It flapped its wings, wanting to join the battle too!
