YM778.TV Chapter 78: Entering The Orange Zone
"Hmm, let me check," Su Bingxin said, retrieving a map from her storage ring. She had already formed a bond with the storage ring that Chen Tian had gifted her, and she was delighted with this present, as a storage ring was far superior to a storage pouch.
She looked at the map and pointed to a location. "We should be here."
Chen Tian examined the map, which was divided into three distinct sections. One part was colored green, another part was orange, and the last part was red.
Recalling Xu Zhiyuan\'s explanation, Chen Tian understood that the green section served as a safe zone devoid of monsters, albeit with fewer creatures overall. On the other hand, the orange section marked the area where beasts began to appear, ranging from those in the Body Refinement stage to those in the Five Stages of the Qi Refinement Realm.
As for the final section, the red zone indicated the presence of beasts at the level of the Six Stages of the Qi Refinement Realm, where even a Meridian Opening Realm First Stage Beast could potentially be encountered.
Of course, the presence of different danger zones also meant that there were corresponding differences in the potential rewards and treasures that could be found.
In the green section, although there were fewer monsters, there were still some valuable resources to be discovered. Chen Tian knew that he could find herbs with mild medicinal properties that could aid in cultivation or be used for alchemy. He might also come across low-level spiritual stones, which were valuable energy sources for cultivators.
In the orange section, where beasts in the Body Refinement stage and up could be found, the treasures became more enticing. He could stumble upon rare herbs with stronger medicinal properties, capable of enhancing cultivation progress significantly. He might also discover medium-level spiritual stones, which are even more potent sources of energy.
However, it was in the red zone that the most valuable treasures were rumored to exist. There, the weakest beasts were at the level of the Six Stages of the Qi Refinement Realm, posing a significant threat even to cultivators in the Meridian Opening Realm.
The rewards in this area were commensurate with the risk. Chen Tian\'s heart raced with excitement as he contemplated the possibility of encountering treasures like high-grade spiritual herbs, ancient relics, or even spiritual artifacts.
He entertained the idea of venturing into the red zone, but not at this moment.
Currently, Chen Tian is still at the First Stage of the Qi Refinement Realm, and if he were to enter the red zone with his current strength, he wouldn\'t possess 100% confidence in his survival.
While he wasn\'t afraid of a Six Stage or a Seven Stage Qi Refinement Beasts, as he could rely on his physical prowess and elemental mastery to escape, encountering a beast at the Meridians Opening realm would leave Chen Tian with no chance of survival and he was with Su Bingxin, he couldn\'t let anything happen to her.
"I should enter the orange zone first and hunt beasts so I can advance my cultivation level first," Chen Tian thought of using the Heaven Devouring Chaos technique that he got when he acquired his Chaos God Body.
"Why don\'t we head toward the orange zone?" Chen Tian suggested.
"You want to go there?"
Chen Tian nodded. "Yes, it\'s better than staying here; the treasures here are of low quality, and we will not gain enough by staying here."
"But that zone is dangerous." Su Bingxin tried to convince Chen Tian not to go, as the zone was dangerous for cultivators like them.
Chen Tian listened to Su Bingxin\'s concerns but remained resolute in his decision. He understood the risks associated with heading toward the orange zone, but he believed that the potential rewards outweighed the dangers.
He looked at Su Bingxin and replied, "I know it\'s risky, but think about it. The orange zone is known for its higher quality treasures and rare artifacts. If we can successfully navigate through it, we could find something truly valuable."
Su Bingxin sighed, realizing that Chen Tian\'s mind was made up. She was worried about their safety, but she also trusted Chen Tian\'s instincts and abilities. After a brief moment of consideration, she finally nodded and said, "Alright, if you\'re determined to go, then I\'ll follow you. But we need to be extremely cautious in that place."
Chen Tian smiled and nodded in agreement. "Deal."
With their decision made, Chen Tian and Su Bingxin set off towards the orange zone.
It didn\'t take much for them to arrive between the border of the green zone and orange zone, as they were already close to it.
However, as they entered the orange zone, the scenery changed Chen Tian glanced around at the place. The air crackled with denser spiritual energy, and the landscape changed from a plain green landscape to a dense forest.
The towering trees were draped with vibrant foliage, casting a dappled shade on the forest floor. The sunlight filtered through the canopy, creating a mystical ambiance. The air felt fresher and cooler, carrying the scent of damp earth and the faint fragrance of blooming flowers.
Chen Tian\'s senses heightened as he stepped further into the orange zone. He could sense a stronger presence of spiritual energy, resonating with his own inner power. The forest seemed to be teeming with life, as if every tree, plant, and creature held a connection to the spiritual energy.
Chen Tian\'s smile widened as he sensed the presence of numerous beasts within the orange zone.
"Let\'s move deeper," With his senses heightened, Chen Tian began to move deeper into the forest, following the invisible trail of spiritual energy that guided him.
He moved swiftly and silently, his steps light and calculated. An aura of confidence surrounded him as he headed toward a beast he sensed upon entering the forest.
Chen Tian\'s instincts sharpened, and he could feel the beast\'s presence growing stronger with each passing moment. The air grew thick with anticipation, crackling with the untamed power that resonated within the creature he sought. He knew he was getting closer.
Navigating through the dense foliage, Chen Tian\'s eyes caught a glimpse of movement. His heart raced with excitement as he realized the beast was near. With caution and reverence, he followed the flickering shadows and signs of disturbed in the spiritual Qi.
As he ventured further, Chen Tian could hear the rustling of leaves and the faint growls of the beasts.
"KOUUUU!!!"
