Chapter 1348: Chapter 592: Advancement and Synthesis

[You have left Sky City and entered a dense forest in the north.]

[The Bone Dragon follows closely, gliding low through the dense forest...]

[Two paths appear before you: one is the wide dirt and stone road straight ahead, filled with the footprints of Fools, clearly well-traveled; the other is the narrow, winding path through the bushes on the left, which seems to lead deep into the forest. You choose to head towards...]

[The wide road] or [The secluded path].

At the familiar crossroads, Mu You directly chooses the secluded path; too many players have traveled the main road, and any fortune to be found there would have been long taken.

Of course, there wouldn’t be a few people on the narrow path either, but definitely not as many as on the main road.

Such early exploration of a new map is about diversion, constantly diverting, exploring the most perilous places—the fewer players around, the greater the chance of finding good loot.

[You have entered the secluded path.]

[You take out the Fog-breaking Mirror and look deep into the dense forest...]

Other players’ exploration ranges are only about thirty to fifty meters, and even with a team effort, they can’t extend this visible range by much.

Mu You is different; with the Fog-breaking Mirror, his exploration range can theoretically reach up to ten thousand meters!

Of course, that is on the condition he’s in open areas like seaside plains, because the Fog-breaking Mirror can only break through fog, not see through objects; its effectiveness is significantly reduced in areas filled with obstacles.

What about now?

Unfortunately, located between towering mountains and dense forests, the Fog-breaking Mirror could only see a few hundred meters ahead before the view is blocked by layers of foliage.

[Through the Fog-breaking Mirror, you vaguely see a spider-like creature three hundred meters straight ahead, hanging quietly at the top of a giant tree, silently sliding down along the Spider Web.]

[And below, a team of Fools is cautiously vigilant against the surrounding mists, completely unaware of the danger descending from above...]

[You decide...]

[You call out to the Bone Dragon and rush to their aid!]

[Alas, you are a step too late.]

[Before you reach the battlefield, screams of the Fools echo from the fog ahead.]

[Soon, you and the Bone Dragon break through the fog to arrive near the spider’s lair.]

[On the blood-soaked ground in front, four out of five members of the team are dead. Three are wrapped in thick Spider Webs, their bodies turned green from the poison, while a giant spider creature is feasting on the body of a Fool. Only one man is still fleeing desperately.]

[Seeing your figure, the man cries out to you for help as if seeing a savior and runs towards you.]

[Regrettably, before he can get close to you, he is snared by a thread of spider silk flying from behind, dragging him back next to the giant spider, which swallows him whole, and he meets his demise...]

[Meanwhile, entering the battlefield, information about the giant spider in front of you appears in the Omniscient Crystal.]

[Poisonous Velvet Spider (5 Star Level): A highly venomous arachnid living in dense forests, uses poisonous fangs and webs as weapons, moves swiftly and silently, has sneaking habits, and possesses a strong territorial sense. Magic Power 35, God’s Defense 20, True Life: 3550. Abilities include True Creature, Binding Webs, Poisonous Fang Corrosion, Spider Leaping...]

stars, no wonder...

Mu You arches an eyebrow, noting that at this stage players generally range from 1 to 2 stars, and even teaming up, they could barely handle 3-star creatures. Encountering a 4-star creature would mean fleeing and finding a 5-star creature would leave them with no chance at all, resulting in a wipe-out.

Of course, this only applies to ordinary players. For elite players with Divine Skin, there is a different assessment system altogether.

[The Poisonous Velvet Spider has noticed you and the Bone Dragon and lets out a shrill hiss, but doesn’t immediately attack, seemingly sensing that you are not to be messed with and hesitates whether to retreat...]

[Just then, the bodies of several Fools it had caught vanish in a glimmer. Seeing its prey disappear into thin air, the Poisonous Velvet Spider roars with rage, believing that you have stolen its trophy, and suddenly leaps towards you, spitting out two globs of web mid-air, ensnaring you and the Bone Dragon, leaving you immobilized.]

[You activate ’Silence Domain’, a barrier that blocks Divine Arts spreads out, and the webs instantly dissipate...]

[The Bone Dragon, now enraged, charges at the spider...]

[...After an intense battle, you and the Bone Dragon successfully slay the Poisonous Velvet Spider.]

[Your integration progress with the Silent God Bone increases by 0.02%...]

The Bone Dragon is currently at 4-stars, while Mu You is only at 2-stars, but he has Divine Skin and the title of God Slayer, making him a match for 5-star creatures in real Combat Power.

With the cooperation of the Bone Dragon, single-handedly defeating a 5-star creature without injury is naturally no trouble.

The unfortunate part is that the Black Angel Armor can’t yet be used far from Sky City due to Magic Rule not being widespread; magic generated within him dissipates quickly and has difficulty reaching the Mechanical Heart. Without power supply, the armor cannot be activated.

Mu You tries, and finds that the energy from Divine Arts can also activate the armor, although it consumes a vast amount and would drain his energy in just a minute or two, not worth using compared to employing Divine Arts.

Mu You estimates that the original Mechanic must have had a special power supply device meant for use in the Sky High World to power the armor, like Iron Man’s ARC Reactor, which was not left in the Star Spirit World and likely taken by the Mechanic along with the two sets of missing armor.
