World-saving Plan: The Only Savior

Chapter 1760 - 46: Plague Relics (Part 2)

Lan Gu looked at the Rothschild family ship that had disappeared from view and couldn’t help but snort coldly.

Zhang Xiaoman was not interested in the enmity between these two families. His task this time was just to help the Lan Family explore the relics. After leaving, he and Lan Gu would owe each other nothing. As for the struggles between the dozen or so elders after the Dark Star Alliance disbanded, he truly had no energy to participate.

"Attention! We have now entered the Plague Relics, the surrounding gravity has significantly increased, and there are certain fluctuations in the Dark Spiritual Power. The ship should immediately initiate low-altitude flight mode and reduce speed to prevent the Dark Spirit Power Engine from overloading!"

The Fleet Commander’s voice came intermittently over the communication channel. Here, the fluctuations in Dark Spiritual Power were quite significant, and even communications were somewhat disrupted. The ship had to drastically slow down to avoid being swallowed by the raging Dark Spiritual Power Storm.

Zhang Xiaoman surveyed the surroundings. Where he stood was a mottled land, the vicinity filled with desolate scenes. The sky was gray-green, with countless Energy Storms leaping in the distance, looking like he had arrived on a planet with an extremely hazardous environment.

"So this is the Plague Relics, and the living conditions are indeed very harsh. Luckily, my Spirit Breath Sequence has been cultivated to the fourth stage, coupled with the Constitution strengthened by the fourth Star Pattern. Adapting to this environment is still quite easy..."

Zhang Xiaoman felt his physical condition; his movements were not affected, which put his mind at ease.

Turning his head to look at the other Dark Spirits who came along, they more or less showed signs of discomfort at this moment. He could feel that their movements were noticeably more rigid than outside, indicating they were significantly affected by the environment. If these were any weaker, less than Enlightenment Level, they wouldn’t even be able to perform basic actions, let alone fight in the Plague Relics.

And those resource collection unit members who wanted to go out to gather resources could only wear specially made small armor. Given their strength, once exposed to such an environment, they would be likely to meet their end immediately.

"Be careful. Reconnaissance team, spread out and explore the surrounding environment. Everyone else, stand by where you are!"

Lan Gu was not entering for the first time. He had some experience in exploring the Plague Relics and now took on the role of overall Commander.

The entrance to the Plague Relics opened in a different location each time, and after 500 years of internal resource resetting, the mountains and rivers here also went through dramatic changes. So it was apparent that relying on previous explorations to directly create a map for navigation was impossible, and they could only draw new maps on-site.

Quickly, the reconnaissance team returned, and a simple virtual map image was also presented before everyone.

"We’ll set off in this direction. According to the reconnaissance team’s report, there are no traces of other families’ actions here for now. But everyone still must not be careless. That group of bastards from the Rothschild family are treacherous, maybe this is a trap they’ve deliberately set up. Everyone must stay vigilant at all times!"

The group chose a direction and set off. They needed to leave here quickly before the next batch came in; otherwise, if the two families met at the entrance on this side, they might fight directly on the spot.

Of course, as Lan Gu mentioned, it wasn’t ruled out that someone might set up an ambush here specifically to snipe those outside who posed a significant threat to themselves. But the likelihood of this happening was low. Everyone’s main purpose for coming here was to collect resources. If a fight broke out at the entrance, someone else would sit back and reap the benefits. Even if one’s side eventually won the battle, it would be hard to have the remaining strength to gather resources, getting the short end of the stick.

The Lan Family’s troops began to advance. Zhang Xiaoman, Lan Gu, and all the elders entered the ship to conserve power, ready to face any potential battle, while outside, Control Level experts would take turns guarding. In this way, they could react promptly to any surprise attacks to avoid being caught off guard.

Zhang Xiaoman settled down in the ship’s room, waiting for the collection unit to find a resource point. This wait lasted about ten days.

Originally, he thought the journey within the relics would be full of danger, but now it seemed not as difficult as imagined.

Shaking his head, Zhang Xiaoman ended his cultivation and stood up.

He knew the current tranquility was merely superficial. The exploration of the relics had just begun. Their luck might just be good until now, not encountering any trouble. However, he could not let his guard down. With the fame of the Plague Relics, even Extraordinary Level beings coming here might face risks.

Spreading his Divine Thought into the Mortal Bottle on his waist, Zhang Xiaoman retrieved a small Jade Token engraved with a Star Alliance Marker. He intended to test if he could use the Star Ring for teleportation inside.

Placing the Jade Token with the Star Alliance Marker on the desk, Zhang Xiaoman tried to launch Unlimited Teleportation on it, and the result smoothly appeared right next to the Jade Token.

"It works!"

His face showed a hint of excitement.

Then, Zhang Xiaoman eagerly tested teleporting to the outside world. When Unlimited Teleportation was activated, he successfully sensed the status of the target teleportation point, as usual, ready to leave this space with just a thought.

"Indeed, it works!"

Zhang Xiaoman couldn’t hide his excitement.

In the next second, his figure completely disappeared from his room, reappearing in a tavern on Erin Continent.

Then, using Unlimited Teleportation again, Zhang Xiaoman’s figure appeared back in the ship within the Plague Relics.

"Success!"

He couldn’t help but reveal a smile of joy.

"Unlimited Teleportation indeed allows leaving this space, which will make my future actions much more convenient."

Zhang Xiaoman set multiple prohibitions around the Jade Token to prevent anyone from noticing anything amiss.

The reason he was so excited was that this Unlimited Teleportation brought him a considerable surprise.

According to the rules within the Plague Relics, teleportation abilities cannot be used inside. Forget about teleportation; even flash-type skills cannot be used. The Space Ring can’t be opened, and exiting can only be done through the Array at the relic’s entrance.

However, Zhang Xiaoman was different. His North Star Ring possessed the Unlimited Teleportation ability, where ’unlimited’ meant ’unrestricted’. As an Ultimate Item, no matter how strong the spatial restrictions within the Plague Relics were, they couldn’t stop him from leaving.

This meant Zhang Xiaoman could enter and exit this world at will.

Not only limited to this exploration but also two years later when the exploration ends, while others can only leave the Plague Relics from the inside, Zhang Xiaoman can still use the Star Alliance Marker and Unlimited Teleportation to travel back and forth here.

In other words, he could treat the entire Plague Relics as his own backyard, and when the time came, being the only one left in the entire relic, he could take whatever resources he wanted.

Zhang Xiaoman was very excited. Seeing this, besides the Plague Relics, it seemed many other relics were opportunities where he could explore.

Imagining the scene where every relic had a Star Alliance Marker set by him would be wonderful. The Star Alliance would continuously receive abundant resources, making a significant breakthrough in a short time. It was even more rewarding than cheating!
