“Where am I?..” muttered Lin Yi, stunned by the sight.
He found himself in the jungle, among hundreds of exotic flowers and fruits unknown to him. The air was fresh and filled with sweet aromas. If heaven existed, this is what it looked like.
Blinking, Lin Yi rembered one place after another, but nothing ca to mind. The player, who had gone through the fist world far and wide, could not understand where he was. Turning over on his back and looking up at the sky, he was stunned again.
On all sides the valley was surrounded by steep cliffs, no less than ten kiloters high. And there were no stairs, no natural channels, not even cracks. Only the rocks, smooth as the surface of a mirror, surround the valley a kiloter, maybe two wide.
Small island among the mountains.
“Did this place really appear on its own?.. But man could not have created it?..”
Lin Yi sighed. He had never even heard of such places. Plus, it didn't look like it ford on its own. This place looked too suspicious.
One might have expected intense cold inside, but instead the air was very warm, not to say hot. Flowers blood everywhere, as if in the midst of spring. But it's winter now - unless he lost consciousness for several months.
The more he looked around, the more convinced he beca that this place could not have appeared on its own. It is undoubtedly man-made. But how much effort was required to carve such a deep valley and smooth the rocks into mirrors??
And how to create eternal spring in the valley... he simply could not imagine.
And the cliff from which he jumped was much lower. Lin Yi was sure of this. So I breathed a sigh of relief.
At least he had a little more ti. At best, the Purple Dragon King will finally lose track of him and think he's dead..
With difficulty pushing himself off the ground with his hands, Lin Yi realized that he was lying on the bank of a dark river. Apparently she brought it here.
Before losing consciousness, he actually rembered how he fell into a dense forest, broke many branches, and finally collapsed into the water. If he had been unlucky enough to land on the rocks, he would never have woken up. However, without the river, he would not have been able to wake up for long - the Dragon King probably went down to put an end to it. And I couldn’t find where.
Although none of this mattered. All his wounds opened, and he did not bleed only because there was almost none left. The most important thing right now was to take care of yourself..
With his last blow, Lin Yi practically destroyed the ridians, squeezing them to the last drop. Therefore, now I felt pain not only throughout my body, but even beyond it.
Raising himself on his hands, he suddenly found himself back on the ground. From his wounds, hunger, and fatigue, he lost consciousness for a couple of seconds..
The expert at the peak of the first class could not even get up on all fours...
Gritting his teeth and feeling the back of his head go numb with pain, he dragged himself forward, towards a small, translucent white fruit.
There was no strength to test for poison or chew, Lin Yi simply swallowed it. Almost imdiately feeling the warmth spreading throughout the body.
His eyebrows rose wide.
Just one such fruit could allow a person to open up inner strength and several ridians at once!
Every ti soone managed to find such plants, a battle began in which dozens, or even hundreds of experts died. And it was worth it if you managed to make a plantation.
The supre experts did not participate in this, of course, for them such crumbs had no value. But even first-class experts would probably take part in the battle if they heard about such a plant.
After all, just a few of these would provide their sect with many talented students..
The effect was exactly the sa as the system, except that it rewarded kills rather than... in a word, luck.
And there were thousands of these fruits...
Lin Yi didn’t think much. He was dizzy from experience and now from greed. He pounced on them like a hungry wolf on at..
It contained at least a hundred sweet, lt-in-your-mouth fruits. Translated into the experience of inner strength - as much as fifty million points.
An unimaginable amount. Still, just a drop in the bucket for an expert at the peak of first class.
One channel between the ridians cost ten million experience points of internal strength, and there were ninety-six in total. In other words, nine hundred sixty million.
A thousand fruits would only bring five hundred million. A lot, a lot, and yet they will bring much more benefit to younger experts.
Not to ntion that this is only the very beginning of the top level, and Lin Yi was aiming for the top ten.
Expanding the ridians cost ten million experience points and doubled their volu. Twenty doubled ridians are two hundred million points. And doubling alone is, of course, not enough. You need at least four.
Total two hundred million for the first expansion, four hundred for doubling, six hundred for tripling, and eight hundred for quadrupling.
So he wouldn’t have been able to get far on fruit alone. To achieve sothing you need at least three billion experiences.
Suddenly his joy at the open valley sohow waned. The fruits were incredible, but now all they could do was restore wounds and ridians.
Unlike a system that stores experience for later, the fruit imdiately turned into internal strength spreading throughout the body. So the dry Qi pathways began to fill with life-giving energy. Fifty million was enough for the five internal ridians.
Lin Yi lay down and closed his eyes. All organs were on the verge of collapse, many bones were broken, muscles were torn. Inner strength kept this whole ss together, but when he switched off, the body practically died.
If it weren't for the magic fruit, he would almost certainly have died. If you were in a place with absolutely no food, then certainly.
Slowly exhaling and then inhaling, Lin Yi began to heal the wounds..
.˙.
Eat, heal, sleep. As the days passed, he continued to eat fruit, and was amazed at the damage the human body could endure..
He had to eat almost a thousand fruits to fully recover. By the end of the second day, he was sure that if not for them, even with the Divine Skill of the Violet Mist, he would have been treated for many months, if not years.
But now, when death did not stand in the way, he looked up at the infinitely distant peaks of rocks smooth as mirrors, and thought:
“So... how do I get out of here??..”
The river ended in a small lake in the valley, and who knew where the water flowed next. And even the most desperate fool would not dare to go back, against the current and in the dark..
Lin Yi began to feel anxious.
He didn't even know what was happening outside. How did the Battle of Kaifeng end? Did demons attack the Alliance or not??
Lin Yi would like to just fly away from this valley and find out how his comrades are doing.
But no matter what options he ca up with, they all did not survive the test.
How beautiful this valley was... it’s a pity that he was not in any mood to admire it.
“Chi-irp!”
Lin Yi jumped to his feet when he heard a deafeningly loud chirping, at the sa ti as a shadow flashed across the valley. Raising his head, he saw sothing like a cloud descending.
A huge bird, twenty ters in wingspan, dived down from the cliff and quickly flew down, shining with golden feathers in the rays of the sun.
She was stunningly beautiful, and even more terrible, and in appearance she resembled sothing between a condor and an eagle..
Before she landed, a powerful wind arose. Lin Yi used his inner strength to hold on to the tree to avoid falling into the rock..
This gigantic beast possessed strength no less than that of the supre experts!
Or maybe more...
