My Salvation Game Became true?!. Chapter 137 – Chapter 137: Chapter 136: An Jianyou's Life–Saving Divine Skill!

Chapter 137: Chapter 136: An Jianyou's Life-Saving Divine Skill!
 

“Crackle and pop!”

In the forging workshop, after processing and adding some combustion accelerants, a torch made with Minglight tree branches as the core fuel was slowly burning, emitting light and heat.

This was already the third version.

Wang Chui observed the burning process of the torch, his shiny head reflecting light under the glow of the fire, “This is almost right, the sustained burning can release the characteristics contained in the Minglight tree branches, but the specific effects, will have to be tested by you, the mentors, to be clear.”

“Hmm, such a block of fuel can burn for about half an hour.”

Fang You took it over.

The handle part was made of a special alloy, with the top able to replace the fuel block to keep the flame burning, ensuring the maximization of the Minglight tree branches' use.

After all, burning could maximize the fog-dispersing effect, but that required consuming Minglight wood… He had already foreseen that in the future, Minglight trees would be a very important strategic resource.

As for the effects…

He hadn't tried them at this point, and the description from skill detection was rather vague, but…

This version of the torch had already been recognized by the Salvation Game, and was now a standard item!

‘Minglight Torch (White)'

‘Description: A torch using Minglight wood as the main fuel, capable of significant fog dispersion and driving away Mysterious Evil, with the specific production process as follows…'

‘Tip: Given that the production process is clear and can be replicated, ‘Blueprint: Minglight Torch (White)' has been automatically generated.'

‘Current blueprints created are: Physical Fitness Elixir Blueprint (White), Stamina Potion Blueprint (White), Energy Recovery Potion Blueprint (White), Spirit Elixir (Green), Standard Weapon Combat Knife (White), Standard Weapon Spear (White), Standard…'

There were more than ten blueprints, and although they couldn't just “beep” and produce the item, they were still precious pieces of technology.

Among them, the production process for standard weapons much relied on Wang Chui's Awakened Ability, but now with the forging workshop and Strange Implements with similar abilities, apprentices could just as well use the workshop's equipment for rapid production as long as they learned the tricks.

Thus, they could be integrated into blueprints.

Now that he had the Minglight Torch, the next step was to test its effects, whether to enter through the proper secret land entrance or take a shortcut, both would face thick fog.

Naturally, taking An Jianyou's shortcut was a bit quicker.

When he came back to the training ground, An Jianyou was no longer embarrassed; after all, they had become accustomed to it after three times.

He said, “Come on, let's test the effect of the Minglight Torch.”

Hearing the mentor's description, An Jianyou's eyes widened as she looked at the torch burning in front of her, “With this kind of torch, won't we face fewer attacks from Mysterious Evil?”

With the mentor present, she wasn't as scared of entering the Ghastly Realm; the two of them took Passage Number Two and in a moment arrived at Baijiang City's office.

However, just a few steps out, An Jianyou wasn't so sure, “After my third Awakening, my talent has also increased, it seems I no longer need to touch the nodes of the doors to the Ghastly Realm, I can enter on my own.”

Oh?

Fang You got excited.

The ability change in Black Blade's third Awakening made murderous intent turn into blades and armor, with the talent effect being stronger and larger.

For his third Awakening, the range of his faith perception had increased tenfold from before, and he could now catch the faith of Angel Envoys from extremely far distances; at the same time, wood burned faster, with a controllable direction of increase, and even during regular combat, this Awakened Ability could be used to great effect, just not as pronounced.

As for talent, he had none.

He gestured for her to start the demonstration, and An Jianyou said, “My enhanced ability has just gotten stronger, I haven't found a new way to use it, but with the Passage to the Mystic Eye… Look, mentor, like this.”

As she spoke, a faint blue light bloomed in her eyes.

In an instant,

The scenery in Fang You's eyes changed, fog drifted around, buildings looked weathered, and outside, numerous staggering figures appeared, with the growls of Mysterious Evil reaching their ears.

But, he hadn't made any physical contact with An Jianyou; had the range of the talent expanded?

He noticed that around An Jianyou as the center, a circle with a diameter of about five meters appeared… So, by being within the circle, one could enter the Ghastly Realm along with her?

At this time, the Mysterious Evil outside the circle seemed not to have noticed them; they hadn't truly entered the Ghastly Realm yet.

But what about outside?

A possibility suddenly occurred to him, “Wait here for a moment.”

In An Jianyou's puzzled gaze, Fang You stepped out of the gray circle, and instantly, the fog dispersed, sunlight shone down, and the wind howled on the rooftop; but he couldn't see An Jianyou's figure.

He moved forward.

One step, two steps, without entering the gray circle again, he saw nothing; even walking step by step to where An Jianyou had been standing, he reached out his hand to feel, but touched nothing.

This ability…

At that moment, he couldn't see An Jianyou, and calling her had no response, probably meaning she couldn't hear it, but it didn't matter; he directly called up her panel and clicked on the chat channel.

Beep beep beep—

He stepped back a few steps, and the next moment, a few steps ahead of him, An Jianyou's figure appeared out of thin air.

She had exited the state of Passage to the Mystic.

“You didn't enter the Ghastly Realm just now, could you see me?”

“No, no.”

She had been maintaining it because the mentor had told her to, even though she was puzzled; the mentor must have had his reasons, so it was definitely something she should listen to.

So she kept it up.

On her own, she would have been too afraid to enter the Ghastly Realm.

But after hearing the mentor's description of what had happened, she was still surprised, “Invisible, intangible, does this mean…”

She understood in an instant and was exhilarated.

Nowadays, An Jianyou was no longer a beginner, with a complete combat system and a clear understanding of what her strengths and weaknesses were.

The strengths, of course, were endurance and the ability to take on enemies in numbers, while the weakness was her own frailty.

Although she had been continuously undertaking the sword trials during this period and had covered some of her weaknesses, it was merely a slight compensation. She was very aware that once she faced a major crisis, she would still panic. She really wasn't skilled, but there was nothing she could do about it.

Now, if this ability could really be used to hide…

An Jianyou experimented.

Her Mystic Eyes could adjust the extent of ‘visibility,' but no matter if it was level one, two, or three, her body remained in the real world; she could only see more or fewer Mysterious Evils.

However, just when she was about to enter the Ghastly Realm, intending to go in but not actually entering, it glitched.

She crouched down, staring at the gray circle around her, and after trying for a while, she found, “In this state, my circle can't move, but I can still move. It's just that as soon as I step out of this circle, I'll fall back into reality.”

Despite its flaws and the fact that this glitched state couldn't last too long, An Jianyou was still excited.

I'm getting stronger!

Proud.jpg.

“Then let's enter the Ghastly Realm.”

“Oh right, of course.”

She had been so excited that she forgot about it.

Soon, the Mystic Eyes ability was used once again, and the gray field enveloped the two of them. The scenery in their eyes changed rapidly.

The fog loomed, buildings eroded, pedestrians vanished, and Mysterious Evils appeared.

Previously, An Jianyou was stuck at this step, stuck before the membrane of the Ghastly Realm, unable to meet all the conditions to fully enter. She had to find the place where the gateway to the Ghastly Realm had previously appeared, where there was a significant ‘loophole' to enter.

But this time,

It was as if a soft ‘pop' sound echoed by their ears, and the two stepped into this gray world.

The sky was gray, the earth was gray, and around them were ferocious-looking Mysterious Evils; a host of heads swiveled together, a multitude of gazes staring over.

Stare—!

An Jianyou felt a chill and quickly summoned No.1 to No.6.

Her gear hadn't had the chance to be updated, but it was still good enough to slaughter those staggering zombie Mysterious Evils.

Yet temporarily,

Just like last time, the Mysterious Evils seemed like sharks smelling blood, ready to swarm over.

At that moment,

“Whoosh~”

A flame ignited, a blend of orange with hints of pale white, spreading out.

In front of the two of them, the thick gray fog began to disperse as if blown away by the wind.

Within moments,

The gray fog around them had thinned out considerably, leaving strands and wisps still floating, but without the thick envelopment of fog, the torch burned on, brightening the environment in front of them.

Those Mysterious Evils that had smelled the humans and swarmed over lost some of their ferocity.

The ones within their field of vision still rushed at them, but beyond their field of vision, fewer Mysterious Evils emerged from the fog.

“At the same time, their self-healing ability has weakened by eighty to ninety percent.”

“As expected, the Bright Torch is an absolute essential for exploring the Ghastly Realm.”

With the torch in hand, their journey became much safer.

Occasionally, some two-star Mysterious Evils stumbled upon them and discovered them, but they were quickly slain.

With the fog dispelled, the growls of the Mysterious Evils seemed much farther away, and the surrounding area seemed to quiet down all at once.

In front of them was a street, a street in the North City District of Baijiang City. They walked out from their office and followed this street southward.

Familiar yet strange.

The buildings around them, even the signs hanging from the shops, were exactly the same as in the real world.

Only now, the signs were full of rust, and the walls of the buildings were very old, covered in cracks.

Fang You even specifically entered a supermarket, remembering the one outside that was still in business. However, in the Ghastly Realm, the shelves had already rusted, with black, indistinguishable items placed on top.

An Jianyou ordered a Xiao Hei to rummage through the items on the shelf, when suddenly a blood-red eyeball popped out from a can-like object, giving her a shock.

“Be careful, Mysterious Evils are everywhere here.”

“The torch can't completely drive away Mysterious Evils; it just makes us less appetizing, that's all.”

Fang You surveyed the surroundings.

Amidst the constant growling, there was also a lonely silence as if no life existed in this entire realm.

However, with the Bright Torch, it seemed not too difficult to explore the Ghastly Realm cautiously, although they hadn't found anything valuable yet.

Just as they thought this, stepping out from the supermarket, the ground suddenly trembled.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Stones on the ground shook, and cracks spread through weathered buildings.

A terrifying giant shadow appeared within their sight.

It was very, very huge!

Even from a distance, even amidst the dense fog, the shadow was so large that one could see it by just looking up.

Its body was like a mountain, and by comparison, the buildings in the mist were like toys. As it moved its legs, which seemed like pillars of heaven, forward, the ensuing collisions caused the buildings, like sandcastles on a beach, to crumble down with a swish.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The giant shadow moved, and its sounds gradually faded. The two stood still in their place, speechless for a long time.
