I can return to the age of mysterious
Chapter 708 - 708 374 Ash City (4200)_1

Chapter 708: 374 Ash City (4200)_1 Chapter 708: 374 Ash City (4200)_1 Moving the map to his chest, Casio went straight to the third floor.

As the light shone, densely packed spider web-like black patterns crawled all over the space. The floor, the walls, and even the ceiling were covered with these ancient and exquisite tracks.

These patterns were not only on the third floor but had also penetrated into the walls, covering the entire Shelter Tower. All it needed was Casio’s spirit blood as energy to turn it into a safe house.

Standing at the entrance to the stairs, Casio turned to glance at the path to the fourth floor. The upper part of the Shelter Tower had collapsed and been destroyed, and naturally, some of its original functions could not be used.

However, luckily, the three main functions of the Shelter Tower are on the first three floors. The resurrection altar on the first floor is the most important; the Library of Calamities on the second floor directs the newly arrived Soul Holders; the defense array on the third floor provides protection and filters out the calamities in the air.

As long as these three functions remain.

Most of the functions of the Shelter Tower would be complete.

Casio walked forward, reaching the center of the third floor. Here was a diamond-shaped crystal the size of a person, showing a deep blue semi-translucent texture. At the top of the crystal, a metal disc about half the size of a palm floated in the air, remaining still.

He reached out and grabbed the disc in the air.

The disc’s surface had spiral-shaped patterns, similar to a silvery-white vortex flowing from the outside to the inside. At the vortex’s center, a carved eye was tightly closed.

Casio gave the disc a glance, then followed the method mentioned in the Library of Calamities on the second floor, placing the Proof of the Soul Holders on his chest.

It conveniently overlapped exactly with the position of the Wisdom Rune.

Instantly, a flash of scorching hot sensation passed by.

Looking down, the metal disc was already gone. Only at the center of the clavicle below his neck, an evenly centered vortex pattern could be seen. The tightly closed eye in the center of it was now open.

It resembled the eye of a living person, exuding a deep blue light.

The Proof of the Soul Holders is the imprint of the Qi, not a physical item to carry around. This means that even if Casio finishes this retrospection and returns to the Real World, he can use the Proof of the Soul Holders to return to the World of Calamities, serving as his admission ticket.

The Proof of the Soul Holders resonated with the already activated Shelter Tower.

It could forcibly drag the Qi of Casio in the Real World.

What needs to be noted is that entering the World of Calamities is best at night in the Real World. Because the calamities and reality are reversed, the darkness of reality is the day in the World of Calamities. During daylight in the World of Calamities, the omnipresent calamities in the air will be reduced to the minimum.

The Qi body can function for longer periods without going mad.

Also, the danger in the World of Calamities during the day is reduced. Many strong Dark Creature Tribes in special areas would fall into a lazy slumber, and only a few not so strong wild beasts come out.

After taking the Proof of the Soul Holders, Casio returned to the second floor.

Using the map of the World of Calamities in his hand, he looked for information about the Pale Land area. About half an hour later, Casio finally found some intelligence about Ash City among the avalanche of books. Ash City is located in the northwest direction of the Pale Land.

The city is adjacent to the Despair Bone Forest, so the dark creatures born there possess two characteristics. One is the bonification of the Despair Bone Forest, and the other is the burning characteristic of the Pale Land. It is worth noting that Ash City is a special region in the Pale Land, and its burning characteristic is different. It is more similar to the residual heat produced after burning.

Black smoke, poisonous fire, progressively increasing erosive high temperature.

When these two characteristics mix together, naturally, the dominant tribe in Ash City forms and can be referred to as the Ash Clan.

There were pictures and details in the intel that Casio obtained.

Wild Beast Level: Ash Warrior, Archer, Spearman.

Wild Beast Level: Vertebrae Blade Warrior, Dark Fire Sorcerer.

Hazard Spirit: Poisonous Smoke Giant, Ash City Lord, and his nine phantasms.

Firstly, one thing must be clear. The World of Calamities is not the Real World; the body is made up of Qi, and damage or consumption of Qi will lead to the weakening and decrease in strength of the Soul Holders.

That is to say, this is more like a game with life points.

Casio cannot disregard the low-level wild beasts. Once they hold a numerical advantage and use the terrain to hinder and focus their attacks, Casio probably won’t be able to get the upper hand. This is equivalent to weaklings attacking stronger beings in the real world, which can’t break the defense, while in the World of Calamities, it definitely will. Even if it can only cause a little hurt.

After contemplating for a moment, Casio returned to the first floor.

He followed the information from the Library of Calamities and unlocked another function of the resurrection altar. Showing the time. The day and night here are fixed, twelve hours of daytime, twelve hours of night time. Now, two hours of daylight had passed.

The resurrection altar’s clock-shaped phantasm in mid-air faithfully recorded it.

Casio touched his chest, the Proof of the Soul Holders had another function, that was to record the madness value of his body.

There are five stages, each stage would alert once.

In the middle and later stages of the third stage, Casio can consider returning to the Shelter Tower, using the defense array to filter the calamities.

Once the concentration reaches the fourth stage, his Qi body will involuntarily start to lose sanity.

Emotions become more impulsive and easily angered, more aggressive.

By the fifth stage, the Soul Holders will inevitably start to turn into beasts. If one has strong willpower and is decisive in the early stages, rushing back to the Shelter Tower can still save them. Any individual reaching the middle of the fifth stage is completely beyond saving, certain to fall into the beastly state.
