Chapter 1 Blackstone Junction
When Xue Hua opened his eyes again, he looked around and found himself on an altar in a narrow valley.
As far as the eye can see, there is a black barren rock cliff and a dead wasteland with no grass to grow, only black dust and haze on the dry earth, and only a jagged gravel on the surface of the rock cliffs around the valley.
I couldn't see even a little of the other color, but luckily there was a faint light on the horizon in the distance, otherwise the pitch-black scene would almost be connected to the equally dark night sky overhead!
"Is this the second world... It's a little different from what I imagined......"
Xue Hua sighed helplessly.
"And what do you imagine the second world to look like, newcomer?"
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from Xue Hua's side, which successfully startled him.
He turned around and saw a tall man in a black velvet cloak, with a serious face and even a little iron, standing behind him at some point.
Wow! What's going on with this guy?!
"Isa, why didn't you warn anyone approaching me?"
Xue Hua questioned the adjutant in the mind of the main nest, this was the first time he had been touched by others at such a close distance without realizing it.
His legendary perception had already opened, but this guy seemed to be non-existent in his perception.
And what puzzled him even more was that even Isha didn't react to this guy's approach!
You must know that although he has just arrived in the second world, and the high-altitude monitoring system for monitoring the king worm and the node king worm has not yet had time to be rolled out, Isha is the last barrier to protect his safety.
If this guy had bad intentions just now and was caught off guard, he would have to suffer a big loss!
"Juggernaut, this human has a strong invisibility ability, and he is equipped with an item that conceals his own psionic aura, and the lieutenant cannot detect him without the support of the monitoring king worm's vision.
Please let the king bug rise into the air as soon as possible to ensure vigilance and detection of surrounding threats. ”
“... I understand. Xue Hua replied in the mind of the main nest, and then looked at the black flannel cloak that the visitor was wearing.
It should be this thing that covers this guy's psionic aura, although Isha is the high-level commander of the Zerg, but without the support of the vision of the Surveillance King Insect, it can't see through this high-level stealth skill.
"Okay newcomer, we can't continue to stand here, although this is our controlled area, but in the second world, no place is absolutely safe, you must be vigilant at all times, this is the first lesson, understand?"
The stern-faced man gave him a brief lecture, then turned sharply and walked towards a crack in a rock cliff next to him.
"Uh... All right. Xue Hua rolled his eyes, he was actually taught a lesson by others as soon as he came over, which made him feel a little shameless.
However, the rules of the world in this place also seemed a bit strange, and Xue Hua found that he couldn't directly see other people's professional information like he did in the sanctuary world.
All stat detection systems, including level and class, seem to be ineffective.
Therefore, Xue Hua could only judge from the fact that he did not sense the primordial aura on this guy, and the leader who suddenly appeared in front of him was not a legendary-level powerhouse.
Or, at least, not a legendary-level powerhouse who has already come into contact with the primordial.
It seems that there are many differences between this place and the sanctuary world......
Xue Hua thought about this as he ran behind the black-cloaked man thinking about the crack in the rock wall.
Soon, he followed the guy in front of him to the crack in the mountain wall, and at the opening of the crack stood a female professional with a longbow in her hand and a wary face.
Seeing the two of them approaching, the female professional, who was suspected to be an Amazon, nodded to the black cloak walking in front, apparently the two knew each other.
But she still asked the black cloak unequivocally, "Secret Order".
"Platinum flowers and blue grass."
"Blood Elixir."
"It's okay, let's go in, is there a newcomer again?" The female professional stepped out of the way and glanced at Xue Hua who was following behind.
"Yes, a few months ago, a batch just came, and now another one has come, it seems that there are a lot of talents in the first world recently!
But this little guy is a little interesting, he actually came alone. ”
The black cloak talked to the female archer for a few words, and at the same time glanced back at Xue Hua, with a bit of surprise in his eyes.
You know, the Worldstone Trials are not easy trials to complete.
Under normal circumstances, new professionals who have reached the second world through trials are passed in a team of several people.
It's not uncommon for a single person to teleport over, but it's quite rare.
After a brief chat, the black cloak took Xue Hua into the crack, and it wasn't until he walked into the deep place in the crack that the black cloak took off the hood on his head.
As he continued to lead Xue Hua through a long, narrow and dark stone corridor, he spoke to Xue Hua in a tone of imparting experience.
"The second world is a little different from ours, the power of the Holy Pact can't completely envelop here, so many of the power of the Holy Pact here are not applicable, such as the level detection method, you shouldn't be able to see my level and profession, right?"
Seeing Xue Hua nodding, the black cloak continued.
"I can't see you either, and the same happens when dealing with evil covenanters and demons.
So here, when facing the enemy, it is entirely up to experience to judge the strength or weakness, and it is best not to rush forward when you see the enemy, in case you kick the iron plate, it will not be able to recover your feet.
Remember, reconnaissance is important, and this is the second lesson. ”
"Well, thanks, I remember." Xue Hua nodded, and thanked him very seriously.
Although this guy in front of him is a bit chatty and a good teacher, the experience he imparted is really useful to Xue Hua, who has just arrived.
The black cloak nodded, taking the thanks, and then he asked back as if he had suddenly remembered something.
"By the way, what's your name, where are you from?"
"My name is Xue Hua, you can call me Xue, from the Rogue camp in the mountains of Canduras, what about you?"
Xue Hua replied.
"Xue Hua... I don't know why, but your name always sounds familiar to me!
But forget it, maybe it's my delusion.
My name is Ronnie, and I'm a Westhorse, but I'm not a paladin, I'm a druid. ”
Ronnie, who was in a black cloak, turned his head and smiled at Xue Hua, this smile seemed a little awkward as he seemed accustomed to serious expressions... It's even a little spooky......
"I'm a necromancer... But why are you emphasizing that you're not a paladin? ”
"Because I happen to be from Branwell, the capital of knights, so... You know......"
Ronnie replied with a helpless roll of his eyes.
Xue Hua instantly understood what he meant, this is the same as the regional misunderstanding in the previous life, people from a certain place must have the local characteristics of a certain place.
Whoever comes from Branwell is bound to be a paladin.
Actually, this is not a guarantee at all......
Just like Xue Hua, whose hometown is rich in a certain kind of wine, would not drink alcohol at all in his previous life......
The two walked and talked, and soon walked out of the long, dark stone path and into a vast space built in a cave.
At this time, Ronnie, who was walking in front, let go of his body and let Xue Hua see the scene in the cave.
It was a camp of many tents, and the camp was full of people, apparently quite a few people.
"Welcome to the Second World, Xue, this will be your first stop, the Blackstone Junction."
