Sandstone City, Graystone Forest

After that, Lu Yuan chatted with Frank Ming for a while about Gene Warriors, and time quickly passed until evening.

Lu Yuan said goodbye to Frank Ming and returned to his small cubicle.

He sat on the bed and turned to look out the window.

Under the silent night sky, the neon lights in the distance flickered, outlining the prosperity of West Li City.

Lu Yuan took a deep breath, emptied his tense emotions, and then closed his eyes.

Let's begin.

His consciousness merged into the Gene Battle Tattoo.

The golden lines on the Gene Battle Tattoo flickered with a faint light.

In Lu Yuan's consciousness, white mist surged, forming a light gate beside the gene chain.

Although he had never entered it, Lu Yuan's instinct told him that it was the gate to the Origin Land.

Lu Yuan pursed his lips, his consciousness approaching the light gate.

The next moment, his consciousness went dark. When Lu Yuan opened his eyes again, he was greeted by a blazing red sun. His body immediately felt the scorching heat and dry air.

Lu Yuan looked around. He was currently in a huge square, and outside the square were many earthen-yellow buildings.

The sky was somewhat dim and filled with yellow sand.

A hint of shock appeared in Lu Yuan's eyes.

This Origin Land is truly magical, actually allowing me to come to a strange place so easily.

It is said that all intelligent races in the entire universe can enter the Origin Land.

In other words, the Origin Land connects the entire universe!

No one knows exactly where the Origin Land is in the universe, or why it can be connected to all intelligent races.

The noisy sounds pulled Lu Yuan back from his shock.

"Looking for a Guardian Warrior to go to the Yellow Sand Worm's nest! Only Elves!"

"Elite Gene's Element Warrior leading a team to kill Sand Scorpions in the Gobi! Any race is fine, except Kobolds!"

"Human newbie looking for a human team, is there any dàlǎo willing to take a newbie~~"

Lu Yuan's expression was a little strange as he listened to the market-like sounds.

Many creatures were gathered in the square, shouting to form teams.

Lu Yuan discovered that in addition to humans, there were other races here.

Elves, who often appear in fantasy stories on Earth, have tall and slender bodies, pointed ears, and handsome faces.

There were Kobolds with dog heads.

When he saw a beautiful Cat Person with cat ears and a tail constantly wagging behind her, Lu Yuan's eyes widened.

Did a cat really come to repay kindness?!

Which old pervert could resist those cat ears and tail?!

Lu Yuan was ecstatic in his heart.

This world is truly wonderful!

In this square, there were only four races: Humans, Elves, Kobolds, and Cat People.

This initial city was a city for these four races.

As for where this city was, Lu Yuan already had a good idea.

The scorching heat, the yellow sand on the square, and the murky air all indicated that it was in a desert and Gobi area.

Among the four initial cities of the Great Revelation Star's Human Race, only Sandstone City was located in the desert and Gobi region.

As soon as he thought of Sandstone City, Lu Yuan recalled the information he had seen before.

Sandstone City was located in the desert area, surrounded by yellow sand and Gobi, and the types of monsters were mostly rock, poison, and wind types.

As Lu Yuan's mind recalled the surrounding environment and monsters, someone suddenly patted Lu Yuan's shoulder.

Lu Yuan frowned slightly and turned to look.

A handsome elf wearing yellow leather armor stood there with a smile on his face.

"Human friend, are you alone?"

Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows and smiled:

"Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Hahaha, we're planning to hunt Graystone Beetles, how about joining us? The profits will be distributed according to contribution."

As the elf man spoke, he pointed behind him. Not far away, there were three other people, a tall and thin elf, a Kobold, and a Human.

Lu Yuan glanced at them and shook his head: "No, thank you."

He turned to leave, but the elf man stopped Lu Yuan:

"Hey, friend, don't go. It's dangerous to adventure outside alone. Why don't we go together?"

Lu Yuan looked at him and smiled:

"Who said I'm alone? My friend is already waiting for me outside."

Hearing this, the elf man's smile froze:

"So you already have a partner? Okay then. I won't bother you."

He moved out of the way, and Lu Yuan walked past.

The elf man curled his lips: "What bad luck."

The three creatures not far away walked over.

The Kobold laughed:

"Boss, how did it go?"

"That person has friends outside."

Hearing this, the three beings revealed disappointed expressions:

"What a pity, that person's reaction clearly shows they're a newbie who just came in, didn't expect someone to be with them."

"Let's change targets."

The elf male sighed: "Newbies these days are getting harder and harder to fool, should we also transform a bit?"

"Transformation is too difficult, how about we find an opportunity to hold a meeting and upgrade our scamming techniques?"

"That might work, if it really doesn't this time, we'll go out and kill Graystone Beetles."

"Mm."

Lu Yuan left the plaza, looking around.

The streets of Sandstone City were covered in yellow sand, with buildings made of yellow rock on both sides of the street, and rock giants walking on the street.

Lu Yuan had seen this in the previous posts.

Each initial city has constructs from the Origin Land to maintain the city's minimum operation.

These rock giants are the constructs of Sandstone City, used to maintain law and order.

Fighting is not allowed in the city.

Sandstone City is very large, and because time was tight, Lu Yuan jogged all the way, spending two hours before he saw the city walls.

The city walls were also made of yellow rock, about thirty meters high.

Unknown giant cannons were placed on the city walls, and constructs patrolled.

Lu Yuan arrived at the city gate, guarded by two constructs, but no one checked, all Gene Warriors directly left Sandstone City, or entered the city.

Lu Yuan walked out of the city gate, and what came into view was a desolate Gobi desert, with howling winds and yellow sand filling the sky.

Lu Yuan covered his nose, feeling a little uncomfortable.

The four initial cities of the human race each have their own harsh environments, just like Stormwind City is surrounded by storms, and people can be blown into the sky if they are not careful.

And Sandstone City has too much air pollution, half of the air you breathe is sand.

A bit hard to bear.

Lu Yuan identified the direction and moved to the right side of Sandstone City.

The place he was going to was an area called Graystone Forest.

The main fierce beast in that area was the Graystone Beetle, which was a very weak fierce beast even at the Apprentice level.

The probability of Graystone Beetles dropping Gene Armaments and transcendent genes is almost zero, but its stone armor is a material for forging Gene Armaments, which can be taken to sell for money.

For Lu Yuan, it was a safe choice.

Because he had not signed a fierce beast from the Origin Land as a mount, Lu Yuan could only run on his own two legs.

Two hours later, Lu Yuan had been in the Origin Land for four hours, and finally, a Gobi area covered with gray rock pillars appeared in front of him.

This was the Graystone Forest.

This Gobi area was endless at a glance. In the posts he had checked before, some bored Gene Warriors had specially measured the size of these areas.

The Graystone Forest was nearly a hundred kilometers in radius, which was outrageous.

Lu Yuan took a breath, took out a bucket of water and took a big gulp, and ate some energy bars.

He had been running all the way, and he felt like he was about to be dried out by the sun.

After replenishing his strength, Lu Yuan slowed down and recovered before entering the Graystone Forest.

Not long after entering the Graystone Forest, Lu Yuan heard the sound of fighting ahead.

He looked ahead and saw two Cat People, one wielding a long sword and the other wielding a bow and arrow, attacking a small, dog-sized gray beetle.

There were also five or six Graystone Beetle corpses on the ground.

The Cat Person with the bow and arrow had excellent archery skills. He drew his bow and shot an arrow, which turned into a stream of light and pierced into the Graystone Beetle's eyes.

Instant kill.

Lu Yuan's pupils couldn't help shrinking.

There were no precious resources in this area, so strong people would definitely not come to this place.

Most of those who came here were Gene Warriors who had just awakened not long ago and didn't have the strength to explore other areas.

However, even so, there were still differences in strength.

Lu Yuan felt that he might not even be able to beat that archer in a one-on-one fight.

He was indeed just a newbie, and he had to continue to work hard!

Lu Yuan cheered himself up, then quietly left.

This was not inside the city, and fighting was not prohibited. Not to mention different races, even if people of the same race met, they might fight.

Dying would be too much of a loss.

For the sake of safety, Lu Yuan specifically looked for directions where there was no fighting.

More than twenty minutes passed, and his surroundings had become very quiet.

Just then, Lu Yuan saw a Graystone Beetle lying under a stone pillar in front of him, its huge mouthparts gnawing on the rock.

Crunch, crunch, it looked like it was eating with relish.

Lu Yuan looked around, his eyes lit up.

He didn't expect to encounter a lone Graystone Beetle. Wonderful.

Go get it!
