Elk
Saine and Level 1 Knight Guer did not travel together for very long. →
The main difference lies in their different approaches to exploring the Knight Continent.
Guer prefers to explore those treacherous caves.
And from time to time, they also pursue and search for some native level one creatures in the secret realm.
In Guer's own words, "The more treacherous the place, the more likely it is to contain some rare heritage."
"These inheritances may have been left behind by some ancient and powerful Knight or Mage. My grandfather once obtained a Battle Qi technique from a secret realm."
As for fighting against the level one creatures within the secret realm, it can be understood that the Knight need to hone their skills through combat.
This can also be understood as the value contained in a single Level 1 creature within the secret realm being potentially equivalent to several years of exploration in ordinary times.
Guer got stuck in the jungle swamp because he thought there might be some treasure beneath it.
In the end, he didn't get the treasure and almost lost his own life.
Saine's exploration of the Knight Continent was not as utilitarian as Guer's.
Saine was interested in everything here.
From the most basic flowers and grasses, to the basic soil and pebbles, and then to some seemingly worthless giant trees and plants.
Saine could find their merits and study them for days.
Saine hadn't encountered a single living person in the past month, probably not because the density of trial participants in the secret realm was too low, but because he was too focused on his research and his travel speed was relatively slow.
Guer spent about half a month with Saine before he couldn't stand Sain's dawdling anymore.
After saying goodbye to Saine, he flew eastward first.
"When you go to the East Coast and look for the Jobs Family, I'll take care of you!" Guer waved to Saine with his back to her, then turned into a black dot and disappeared into the distance.
Guer's departure had no effect on Saine.
With one less noisy person around, Saine was able to focus more on his research and exploration.
As the days went by, Saine's gains on the Knight Continent increased.
Several months later, most of the Space Equipment on Saine's body was filled with the strange and wonderful specimens and magical materials he had collected on the Knight Continent.
Saine finally came to his senses and temporarily put his exploration on hold.
If he were to bury himself in research, even if Saine spent decades, he might not be able to explore even one percent of the species in his area of the Knight Continent.
Compared to a complete world, the power of an individual is far too insignificant.
Yes, this is a brand new world, at least that's what Saine thinks.
Even the most basic organisms differ greatly from the outside world.
It is conceivable that, based on these trillions of lower-level creatures, the middle and upper-level creatures of the entire Knight Continent Secret Realm will evolve and change into something extraordinary.
"That Level-9 Being from the Wizard World created another 'world' within the Wizard World!" Looking at the boundless jungle and sky, Saine's gaze burned with intensity.
Although most of his Space Equipment was already packed, Saine still had enough space to carry other items.
The Seashell that the Dragon Turtle Bixi gifted to Saine was discovered by Saine during his research on Moduolong Island, revealing the vast amount of space it could hold.
However, Saine did not continue in the same research mode as before.
While he didn't know what others were like in their pursuit of Truth, Saine himself maintained a balanced pace.
After temporarily setting aside some of the tedious experiments, Saine, like Guer before him, began to focus his energy on some strange and rare dangerous places.
In choosing a direction to explore, Saine has always adhered to one direction and moved forward as he pleased.
Anyway, the secret realm is so big, we can just go wherever we want.
Perhaps due to the change in his exploration style, on the third day of Saine accelerated journey into the depths of the secret realm, he encountered other trial participants.
"Owl!" A strange cry came from the forest, and a two-meter-tall elk with red and green fur ran out.
This is a special elk whose Life Level has reached level one. Its face is somewhat like a night owl, and its eyes are an eerie purple. As it runs, a series of flames are generated on its hooves and legs.
This kind of deer is definitely not a species that Saine has ever encountered in the Wizard World before.
Judging solely from its appearance and rarity, this creature, which is only at the first Life Level, is estimated to be worth as much as Level-2 Creature.
At this moment, Saine was flying low over the forest, and the elk was not running in the direction he was in.
However, the shouts of battle and energy emanating from behind it clearly indicated that this deer did not intend to run away.
"Help us stop it, and we'll split the Spoils of War!" A Mental Strength message appeared in Saine's mind, the speaker's tone urgent.
The Azure Fire Heart Magic Staff appeared in Saine's hand. Saine examined the elk running past him from the side and replied, "I will use its eyes first."
The speaker hesitated for two or three seconds before finally agreeing, "Okay! But you have to help us hold it back for at least half an hourglass!" Half an hourglass is thirty seconds, and Saine was confident of that.
Because the people chasing the elk were still quite far away, they didn't know exactly how Saine had cast the spell at the beginning.
With the blessing of the Azure Fire Heart Magic Staff, Saine's Magic Power and Mental Strength instantly surged to nearly 500 points.
Both have a doubling effect, but doubling when the value is over 100 points and doubling when the value is over 200 points are completely different results!
If Sain were to face Van Basten, the second-level dark mage he encountered on the South Coast, again now, he would still be no match for him, but he would at least be more at ease than before.
This is also where Saine's confidence comes from.
A strange, ominous emerald flame appeared directly in front of the fleeing deer as Saine chanted his spell.
However, when faced with the flames woven from the Azure Fire Element unleashed by Saine, the elk's eyes narrowed as it fled, then it abruptly stopped and changed direction to continue its escape.
Threatened by the Azure Flame Wall, the elk turned its fleeing direction toward Saine this time.
He put away the Azure Fire Heart Magic Staff in his hand.
As the elk charged toward him, a strange smile crept across Saine's lips.
Under the control of the Aura Concealment Technique, this extraordinary elk from the secret realm didn't even notice Saine's presence.
700 meters... 500 meters... 300 meters... 200 meters...
Almost in the blink of an eye, the distance was covered. When the elk was less than a hundred meters away from Saine, Saine made a move.
The Azure Fire Body Ablaze effect instantly appeared on Saine's body, and a turquoise "fireman" over five meters tall suddenly appeared in front of the reindeer.
The sudden change and danger alert caused the deer to let out another shriek of "Owl!"
But at that moment, it didn't even have time to change direction.
Saine's hands, burning with Azure Fire Element, gripped the reindeer's antlers.
He took the full force of a Level 1 creature's impact during its escape with his own body.
Among Level-1 Magician, Saine is definitely a rare anomaly.
When the pursuers behind the elk finally arrived at this area, they also saw a Flame Giant desperately blocking the Owl-Eyed Elk.
"Owl!" A painful cry echoed through the surrounding jungle.
A large flock of birds took flight from the forest.
