Chapter 68 Void Valley

  At the west gate of the Ash King City, Rosen purchased a wilderness motorcycle after careful selection.

  It is steam-powered with Blazing Shadow Ore as its core, with a maximum speed of 800 kilometers per hour.

  This car speed is almost approaching the speed of a civil aircraft.

  However, this is just an ordinary steam-powered locomotive, not one of those extraordinary locomotives with sequence levels.

  After Rosen left the west gate on his wilderness motorcycle, he looked back at the City of Ashes from time to time.

  From the inside, this steam-style future magical city looks more prosperous than the modern society on Blue Star. However, from the outside, it looks like a dead and rotten behemoth sleeping on the earth. The entire Blazing Shadow King City is protected by rusty high walls.

  Ashes can contaminate all living things, but rarely have a negative impact on dead things.

  Many of the buildings covered in ashes would have decayed thousands of years ago, but now they look as good as new under the ashes.

  The indelible rust marks on the guardian walls of the Blazing Shadow City are all traces left by the ash creatures before their death.

  It may take decades or hundreds of years before the ashes covering human civilization will produce a major explosion.

  For at least a few years, the number of ash life will increase dramatically.

  Countless ash lives will form an ash tide that will impact all human gathering places.

  Every time this happens, humanity suffers considerable losses.

  Some say it is the revival of the will of dead gods, others say it is the aftermath of a war of gods started by alien gods.

  There are various theories, but none of them has been confirmed by the world government.

  As we got further away from the Blazing King City, the terrain began to gradually lower and the road conditions began to deteriorate.

  Rosen didn't want to overturn the motorcycle, so he chose to slow down the speed of the wilderness motorcycle.

  Even though his reaction and physique were enough to keep him unscathed when the car flipped over.

  But the wilderness motorcycle itself cannot withstand being tossed around. If it falls apart, he will have to use his two legs to travel.

  After five hours of traveling, Rosen wandered around and arrived at the Void Valley, which was hundreds of miles away from the royal city.

  This place is not simple. It used to be the capital of the Gray Squirrel people.

  In the end, the final battle of genocide broke out here between the human demigods and the ancestors of the gray rat people.

  The plain was turned into a bottomless sinkhole, and even the space here was distorted to form a huge spiritual realm. Moreover, it is a rare special spiritual realm dominated by material, with the entrance open all year round.

  Today, the extraordinary resources in the spiritual realm have been drained, and later this spiritual realm became a garbage disposal point for the Principality of Chiying.

  All domestic garbage and dangerous supernatural waste are transported here and thrown into the spiritual realm.

  But it is normal to throw garbage outside the trash can accidentally.

  After 20,000 years, the original tiankeng has been filled with garbage.

  As a result, this place has become a paradise for ash creatures, and all kinds of ash life that do not exceed Sequence 7 can be seen here.

  As for the Ash Creatures that had reached Sequence 6, they had already been killed completely by the high-sequence creatures of the Principality of Blazing Shadow.

  After all, the Principality of Chiying is an island country, surrounded by the sea, and there is no shortage of deep-sea high-sequence extraordinary life.

  Therefore, no threats are allowed to appear in its own hinterland.

  The occasional new threat is just a side dish for high-sequence humans.

  Although the highest level is only Sequence 7, it is enough to pose a fatal threat to Rosen, who is Sequence 9.  

  So Rosen put away the Wilderness Motorcycle and began to sneak around cautiously using Shadow Escape.

  Shadow Escape was like a fish in water in the ashes covered by the sparse sunlight. He could easily avoid the ashes along the way. He didn't plan to waste time hunting the ashes before finishing his business.

  Rosen took out a map and looked for nearby indicators.

  The light became extremely dim under the ashes, as if we were in a thin sandstorm.

  However, there were ash particles all around that were visible to the naked eye, but when I reached out my hand, I couldn't touch any ash at all.

  Even taking a deep breath, you won't inhale the ash that is everywhere.

  There is a saying about this that the ashes of the normal world are just projections of the real ashes.

  It can be seen in reality, but it is difficult to touch in reality.

  If you really come into contact with ashes in reality, you will turn into a new ash creature in minutes if you are not strong enough.

  As for the real ashes, they exist deep in the spiritual world.

  The visibility around was too low, and even with the help of the God Hunter's Eye, Rosen could only see a few dozen meters away at most.

  The farther away from human settlements, the higher the concentration of ash.

  Seeing that he couldn't find the indicator, Rosen drew out ten spiritual paintings and activated the mice drawn on them.

  Then activate the God Hunter's Eye and put shared visual marks on the mice one by one.

  The ten mice dispersed to look for the indicator. Rosen opened the mysterious study on the spot and prepared to go in to wait for the result.

  Soon a mouse brought good news. After crawling hundreds of meters, it found a lighthouse-like building. There are many similar buildings in the Duchy of Ashes. According to the number, it can locate its current specific location in the ashes.

  Rosen took out the map again to check the location, then sneaked towards the target location.

  He avoided all the Ash Creatures he encountered along the way. There was also a team of Extraordinary Sequences secretly targeting him, and he wanted to get the core material of his potion before them.

  Two hours later, Rosen traveled dozens of miles and arrived at a swamp, which was a swamp with poisonous water.

  There are huge amounts of radioactive garbage piled up there. Logically, these should have been thrown into the spiritual realm of the Void Wasteland Valley. Now they are thrown outside because either someone dumped the garbage indiscriminately or the scavenger hunters who were responsible for transporting the garbage died here on the way.

  At this time, the swamp is full of slimes, which are the most common life form in the Void Valley.

  Moreover, these slimes, without exception, are extraordinary lives, not ash creatures.

  These little creatures are among the very few extraordinary creatures that have no intelligence but are completely unafraid of ash contamination. For this reason, countless scientists have sent slimes into laboratories to study the reasons.

  Since slimes can eat and digest everything, the Principality of Chiying has released a lot of slimes here.

  The total number has exceeded one million so far, and the nightmare slimes may have originally come from the Void Valley.

  Rosen summoned the Nightmare Slime, preparing to pass it off as the real thing.

  After Rosen threw the ignorant Nightmare Slime into the poisonous swamp, it formed two duck paws under its body like plasticine and began to search for Sequence 8 mutant slimes in the swamp. It found some in less than half an hour.

  Because there is a place where every time the Nightmare Slime approaches, it will be driven away by some slimes.

  Rosen immediately realized that was where the prey was, and immediately ordered the Nightmare Slime to start luring monsters.

  The nightmare slime received the order and immediately rushed towards the several gray slimes that were blocking in front of it and trying to drive it away.
