Chapter 213 - Land of Light (First Update)
The next day, early in the morning, Su Hao woke up from the Electric Bear’s soft belly pillow.
He took out the foldable basin and let the Dumb Unicorn gather the water vapor in the air for him to brush his teeth and wash his face. Instantly, he became much more awake.
“Let’s eat.”
Su Hao took out jade powder set meals of various attributes that he had long concocted from his backpack and arranged them one by one.
The Electric Bear, which was lying on its back on the tide-resistant cushion, moved its ears. The whole big fat bear suddenly sat up straight. It turned its head and stared straight at the thunder-element jade powder set meal. Its mouth seemed to be already drooling.
“Howl?”
Seeing Su Hao nod, it picked up the jade powder set meal and finished it in three to five bites. It was full, but it wasn’t satisfied. It hugged the box and continued to lick.
After licking it, he ate some ‘snacks’ that weren’t very filling.
Su Hao also started preparing for his breakfast. He borrowed some fire from the Flaming Spiritcrow, boiled water, and cooked noodles. A moment later, a bowl of steaming hot noodles was ready.
Slurp Slurp Slurp. After eating and drinking his fill, Su Hao patted his stomach in satisfaction and looked around.
The light of dawn appeared, and the sky gradually brightened.
Su Hao flipped over and rode on the Dumb Unicorn. A big white bear led the way in front, while Butterfly and Flaming Spiritcrow danced low in the air..
The second day of the treasure hunt began.
..
“It’s only worth three credits, and it occupies space. I don’t want this.”
Seeing Su Hao say this, Butterfly reluctantly threw away the black mineral ore in its hand.. and buried it in the ground.
Although it didn’t want it anymore, it had to hide it well so that its heart wouldn’t ache too much.
“Gurgle ~?”
“This? It seems to be worth eight credits. It’s alright, put it in the backpack.”
“Gurgle(?>▽
It put it in, satisfied.
The exploration process wasn’t all smooth. Wild sprites often waited beside some high-value materials to guard them.
Su Hao wasn’t afraid of a few ordinary elite-level ones, but if it were a few elite-level limit ones, he would have to think twice.
It wasn’t that they couldn’t fight, but the risks and benefits weren’t proportional.
“In the wild, battles that can be avoided must be avoided as much as possible. The condition of the sprite itself must also be maintained above the standard.”
The supplies in the wild were limited. Once a sprite was injured, even if it could be treated with medicine, it would still take time.
During this period, the battle power of the sprites dropped. Once they encountered a strong enemy, the danger increased a little.
Unless there was a healing sprite skilled in full recovery.
While Su Hao was thinking, suddenly, a few Death Locusts flew towards him.
From the looks of it, they weren’t weak either, directly targeting them.
“Plan 1!” he said.
In an instant..
Bang!!!
Flaming Spiritcrow activated Flaming Feather Form. Its Feather Blade kept lengthening as its figure flashed and slashed towards a Death Locust.
Fire Crow One Blade Slash!
It erupted with full force!
One could only see a fiery red figure flash past.
The Death Locust, which was about half a meter long, fell from the sky.
The other Death Locusts saw that the situation wasn’t good. They grabbed that companion, flapped their wings, entered the forest and disappeared.
The buzzing sounds faded into the distance.
The Flaming Spiritcrow also retracted the flames around it.
Su Hao said, “Let’s leave quickly. The commotion just now could have attracted the attention of many sprites.”
He didn’t know what level of sprites on the island were, but safety was the priority.
In particular, they couldn’t let the stupid crow get too excited. If it died, the battle power of Su Hao’s team would also drop a lot.
Thud! Thud!
Thud! Thud!
The Water Unicorn Beast ran through the forest. Sunlight shone through the treetops, casting mottled shadows.
“Stop!”
Su Hao suddenly said, “Go back, go back.”
Dumb Unicorn didn’t understand, but it still walked back obediently.
Su Hao spoke again and pointed in a certain direction. “North, towards the north.”
As he moved, the nearby map displayed on the interface also moved.
A moment later..
Su Hao finally found what had passed by in a flash.
“A bunch of sprites again?
“Could it be another team of explorers?
“Wait, those sprites are..?”
Su Hao opened one of the icons. A sprite that looked like a spiritual body with a glow on its body appeared.
Morning Light Spirit.
Pure light-element sprite!
Then, he looked at those sprites pushing and pushing. They were either light-element, wood-element, or lightning-element..
“When did light-element sprites become so common?”
He knew that the conditions for the birth of light-element sprites were very harsh. Any type of light-element sprite was a rare sprite.
Those that evolved from wood-element and thunder-element usually had very high evolution conditions too.
“There must be some special reason for so many light-element sprites to be born.”
Su Hao’s eyes widened as he searched the interface continuously.
Finally..
He discovered some other icons covered by the sprite icon. “It’s light elemental crystal, there’s more than one.”
In the illustrated book of precious treasures, the value of a fist-sized elemental crystal was equivalent to the Heart of Attributes.
It was a precious treasure.
Wearing elemental crystals for a long time could subtly improve a sprite’s potential and various qualities. Some sprites also needed to absorb a small number of elemental crystals during their final evolution or advanced evolution.
When he saw those icons, Su Hao knew that he had to go.
Once he said that, Butterfly had already turned into the shape of money.
“Calm down, calm down!
“That’s clearly the nest of light-element sprites. It’s hard to say if we can get light-element crystals. If the danger is too great, we have to give up..”
“In any case, let’s investigate first.”
Su Hao set off.
The sprites lowered their voices and lightened their footsteps.
After walking for a long time, the mist gradually became thicker. It was so hazy that even the sunlight couldn’t penetrate it. Everything was silent.
Suddenly, a steep mountain wall appeared in front of them.
“There’s no other way?”
The interface map could only show the icon, but not the specific environment and terrain.
Su Hao’s team could only explore the two sides.
After walking for a long time, he circled around to the north from the south of the light-element sprites.. But Su Hao didn’t see any traces of light-element sprites.
historical
He wasn’t able to get close!
Su Hao stared at the interface map. After going around for a while, he finally discovered a gap under a rock wall.
After crawling in, he took another few hundred steps forward. After turning around a corner, his vision suddenly became clear. The piercing light almost blinded Su Hao’s eyes.
“That’s..”
In front of his eyes, it looked like a completely sealed valley, surrounded by tall and steep rock walls.
Logically speaking, the light should be very dim.
However..
On top of the valley, about dozens of meters high, there was an object emitting blazing white and bright light, like a sun.
It was dazzling and eye-catching.
Birds, entirely white and emitting soft white light, flew around the light ball, making “coo” sounds from time to time.
“Spirit Pigeon, Light Spirit Bird, Holy Spirit Bird.”
Those were sprites of the same pathway.
Su Hao looked at it again.
He saw a human-like Saint Mantis Warrior holding two light swords.
He saw the Moonlight Rabbit, whose whole body was like jade, jumping around on the ground.
He saw the Light-Wishing Butterfly flapping its butterfly wings and scattering light.
He saw the seven-colored deer dragging colorful light ribbons behind itself.
He saw the double-element Wood Light Demon, holding a bunch of grass in its hand. The top of the grass glowed like light bulbs.
He also saw balls of light floating at low altitude, the numerous Morning Light Spirits, and..
The evolved form of the Morning Light Spirit—Holy Brilliance Spirit.
They had humanoid bodies. There was no covering on the surface of their bodies, as if they were naked. Countless crooked patterns covered their bodies, and behind them were pairs of light wings that looked like glass lenses. Dazzling light blossomed from their bodies.
Su Hao and Butterfly hid behind a huge rock, only showing their heads as they observed quietly.
“The strongest in this valley should be those Holy Brilliance Spirits.”
Seeing with his own eyes, he compared it against the interface. More detailed data appeared.
Su Hao found it tricky.
At the same time..
Not far from Su Hao was another gap in the Radiant Valley.
Outside the gap.
The thin young man looked at his surroundings and suddenly exclaimed, “There! I saw holy light there!”
