The ruins are opened, and special effects are in full swing
Relics are special areas formed by the mutation of scenic spots, historical sites, myths, and legends after the Great Cataclysm.
A true relic has a very large and dangerous internal space.
Upon entering, it feels as if one has entered a different world.
Not only are the monsters inside very strong, at least equivalent to those in a Hell-level dungeon, but some relics even have special rules.
Therefore, almost all relics have unexplored areas.
The internal space of the Longmen Grottoes Relic is quite unique.
In addition to the Yi River and various buddha statues on the surface, it extends downwards, and professionals have explored five levels of underground space.
These underground spaces are also very large, like a super-large underground city.
Of course, the Fifth Level of the Underground Palace has not yet been fully explored.
It is said that the depths are like a Life Forbidden Zone such as the Divine Grace Cemetery, where great horrors exist, which even someone of General Li's strength cannot resolve.
The replicated Longmen Grottoes Relic naturally only has the surface and the first four underground levels.
Lin Xuan spent two thousand gold coins to buy a map sold by someone claiming to be a local of Luo City.
The terrain on the surface of the relic is very simple: a large canyon.
A large river, called the Yi River, flows through it, seemingly without beginning or end.
On both sides are grottoes and mountain paths filled with buddha statues.
"The monsters on the surface are mainly Merrow and buddha statues."
"The First Level of the Underground Palace has Pangolins and Bat Spirits."
"The Second and Third Levels have Fire Crows, Ram-Headed Monsters, as well as Peony Flower Fairies and Golden Arhats."
"The Fourth Level of the Underground Palace, on the other hand, has Tiger-Head Monsters and Lotus Fairies."
Lin Xuan looked at the map information, gaining some confidence and ideas.
Although a professional can only bring one pet into battle, they can have two pets in reserve.
If one pet dies, a reserved pet will take its place.
Therefore, pets are also a major way for professionals to enhance their own strength.
The Longmen Grottoes Relic is quite famous in Xia Country and even worldwide.
This is mainly related to the monsters within it.
There are Tiger-Head Monsters and Golden Arhats with very high strength growth, Fire Crows with very high magic growth, and very rare support-type pets like Peony Flower Fairies and Lotus Fairies.
They are all very suitable pets for professionals.
Almost every professional has one or two of them.
"Both the Peony Flower Fairy and the Lotus Nymph possess healing skills."
"If I encounter a boss, I might be able to contract it."
Contracted beasts do not have a panel, and naturally no inventory space.
If one wants them to clear dungeons and level up on their own, the team must have one or two auxiliary contracted beasts that can help restore health and mana.
"Three days should be enough to explore to the Third and Fourth Levels of the Underground Palace, right?"
Lin Xuan thought to himself as time slowly passed.
Approaching ten o'clock in the morning, the square was already bustling with people and noise.
Professionals were rubbing their fists and eager to try.
The only two divine beasts in the world were obtained from relics.
Although the current Dragon Gate Grottoes in Jianghai City is a replicated relic, there is still a chance of a divine beast appearing.
"I don't ask for a divine beast, just give me a mutated Golden Arhat!"
"Tsk, are you satisfied with just one mutated Golden Arhat?"
"The relic is so big; if foreigners hear that, they'll think our Xia Country's relics don't drop good loot."
"Tiger-Head Monsters, Golden Arhats, Flower Fairies, one of each, all of rare quality!"
"Brother, you really dare to dream."
"Why do you think no relic in the world has been fully explored yet?"
"Let's talk about it after we get to the Third Level of the Underground Palace..."
Rumble—
The clear sky suddenly became overcast.
The arch in the center of the square abruptly changed.
A spatial vortex unfolded within its empty frame.
The next moment, with a hum, the vortex expanded.
A giant vortex, thirty meters high, appeared in the center of the entire square.
"Charge!"
Someone shouted, and almost everyone in the square rushed into the vortex.
At this moment, Lin Xuan had already ridden his seventh-tier Gourd Mount, being among the first to enter the Longmen Grottoes Relic.
The entire space was filled with a hazy grey mist.
The visibility was only fifty meters.
But even so, Lin Xuan could see that this relic space was very large.
Underfoot was the shimmering Yi River, nestled between large mountains.
The river water was greenish-blue, its depth unknown.
On both sides were towering mountains.
In their rock walls, grottoes had been carved out.
Inside each grotto sat a giant buddha statue.
Some statues were badly damaged, with missing heads and cracks on their bodies.
Others were perfectly intact, with solemn and benevolent expressions.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—
People kept rushing in.
Their initial location was on a circular giant platform.
The giant platform had a radius of five hundred meters.
Ahead of the giant platform was a long corridor, at the end of which lay another horizontal corridor.
The whole structure was a T-shaped stone bridge.
And at the other end of the bridge were the riverbanks leading to the two sides of the canyon.
At this moment, on the stone bridge, many mutated pinkish-white Merrow could be seen.
"Carp leaping over the Dragon Gate."
"Dragon Gate Bridge, this is quite similar to the Dragon Gate Grottoes."
Lin Xuan retracted his gaze and looked around.
There were too many people.
The giant platform was packed with a dense crowd, a sea of humanity.
"Too many people, should I clear a wave first?"
As he thought this, it seemed that some people in front had already started fighting each other.
The stone bridges leading to the mountain paths on both sides of the canyon were filled with Merrow.
Those without flying mounts had already begun to push forward.
But compared to the battles with monsters, the conflict on the stone platform was even more intense.
"Baka! I was here first!"
"Get lost! When you come to Xia Country, you better behave!"
Bang, bang, bang—
Similar conflicts quickly spread across the stone platform.
Dying within the relic meant having to wait twelve hours to re-enter.
Everyone's thoughts were surprisingly consistent: clear out the competition!
A large-area attack skill was thrown into the crowd.
"The extraordinary is always ordinary!"
"Raging Waves!"
"Aurora Shattering Cloud Flash!"
"Ninja Kill · Extreme!"
"Tonight, the pearl's color shall bloom with the full moon!"
On the stone platform, various awakened skills were unleashed as if there was no tomorrow.
Not killing monsters, only killing people!
The entire stone platform was like a special effects battle.
Lin Xuan, riding his gourd, had almost flown to a mountain path on one side.
But he turned and flew back.
It was too exciting.
So, he decided to send all these people home!
"Click, click!"
Over a thousand Skeleton Soldierss were summoned by him.
Most of those who entered the secret realm were professionals above Level 70.
Most of them had participated in last year's secret realm and deliberately held back from leveling up to Level 80 this year, just to gain more benefits.
Lin Xuan's Skeleton Soldierss were naturally no match for these professionals.
However, he wasn't using the Skeleton Soldierss to kill people, but to stack his Rage value.
The moment the Skeleton Soldierss appeared, before other attacks could land on them, Lin Xuan had already cast Corpse Explosion.
Rumble—
After one Corpse Explosion, Lin Xuan cast two more in quick succession.
Soon, his Rage value reached one hundred percent.
The next moment, the turbulent river water suddenly slowed down.
Ice began to form on both sides of the riverbank, and snowflakes started to fall at the rocky areas.
