Exploring the Nebula Region

Iron Blood Blade emerged from the Nebula unharmed.

"Captain, how are you still alive?"

One player stared incredulously at Iron Blood Blade from head to toe.

Iron Blood Blade's face darkened at the question.

"Should I just die?"

The player who had spoken quickly waved his hand and explained, "That's not what I meant. You suddenly disappeared just now, and when I called you you didn't answer. I thought you were gone."

Iron Blood Blade realized what was going on.

Xiao Fan's guess in the strategy guide was true; once inside the Nebula Region, other players wouldn't be able to detect that anyone was there.

"You really couldn't see anyone in the Nebula Region just now?"

Iron Blood Blade wanted to confirm this.

The others nodded.

"Really, you can't tell at all."

"Jiu Chen's strategy guide is still too reliable."

Iron Blood Blade instantly gave him even more confidence in the strategy.

"What? This guide was made by the legendary Jiu Chen?"

The others asked in surprise.

"Yes, Chief Zhou specifically asked the great god Jiu Chen to make the strategy for us," said Iron Blood Blade.

"So it was Jiu Chen. No wonder I felt this strategy guide was too daring for a normal person to create."

The Falling Leaf spoke to themselves.

Upon hearing that the strategy guide was created by Jiu Chen, the others' expressions changed, and they instantly became full of confidence.

Jiu Chen has not lost a single game since he started playing.

Excellent reputation!

"By the way, Captain, what's inside this Nebula Region?"

One player asked curiously.

"You'll find out when you go in."

Time was of the essence, Iron Blood Blade didn't do much more without explanation.

Once it's confirmed that the Nebula can conceal the player's location, the next step is to explore the Nebula Region.

This time, everyone was less afraid.

The group cautiously stepped into the Nebula Region.

Everyone originally thought that the Nebula Region was full of hazy Nebula.

But once you actually step inside, you'll find that the scenery is completely different.

The area offered exceptionally clear visibility, with the uneven, dark road surface beneath one's feet.

Looking into the distance, jagged black rocks are scattered about, while ethereal Nebula are scattered among them. The two blend together seamlessly, creating a unique artistic conception that is both vast and mysterious, intertwined with reality and illusion.

Everyone be careful of the monster.

The Falling Leaf served as a reminder.

According to Xiao Fan's strategy guide, the monsters mentioned in the competition rules are located in the Nebula Region, which is still dangerous.

Hearing what Falling Leaf said, everyone suppressed their curiosity, looked around in surprise, and began to explore.

Not long after, the group encountered their first monster between two rocks.

"Huh? This little thing can be called a monster?"

One player pointed at the small purple monster in front of him and asked in surprise.

An adult male is about the size of a palm, with a square body and only one eye.

If it weren't for the red health bar above the monster's head, they wouldn't have seen it as they passed by.

It's no exaggeration to say that you could probably crush one of these things with a single step.

Two players went up and slashed twice, depleting the monster's health.

"Congratulations to the player in the East District for defeating the Scoring Monster. The Scoring Page for this area is now open, where players can see the kills and Points for all servers."

Upon seeing the system notification, the Dragon Nation players exchanged bewildered glances.

Xiao Fan's strategy guide clearly states that killing monsters may grant some special abilities.

I can't believe it actually exists!

"Jiu Chen God is truly awesome!"

One player exclaimed in shock.

It appeared out of nowhere! That's incredible!

The shock didn't just come from the players from the Dragon Nation, but also from the four server players watching the live stream.

After entering the Nebula Region, the Dragon Nation players never took their eyes off the Dragon Nation Server's minimap.

Upon seeing the system notification that the Dragon Nation had killed a minor monster, everyone was speechless with shock.

"Incredible! Incredible! Jiu Chen didn't even watch the live stream; he could find the correct way to play just from a map and a set of rules. Truly worthy of being called the number one commander in the Dragon Nation."

Zhou He's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but admire him.

The members of the Dragon Nation's Observation Group even stood up, each staring intently at the map.

This is the first time I've experienced Jiu Chen's monstrous nature up close, and I'm a little excited!

They need to watch closely and learn from Jiu Chen's way of thinking.

The Falling Leaf eagerly opened the scoring system.

The top-ranked country is the White Nation, with 0 points Points Monsters, 260 points Points Players, and 0 points Points Guardian Tower.

The second-ranked country is the Black Nation, with the same Points as the White Nation.

The third-ranked country is Dragon Nation, with 10 monster Points, and 0 player Points and 0 Guardian Tower Points.

The last one is the Mirror City Server, where all products are 0.

This ranking is surprising. The Mirror City Server and Dragon Nation Server, which were originally the most competitive, are ranked last and second to last, while the White and Black Nation servers, which were not favored before, are in the lead.

Therefore, the Interstellar Canyon map depends not only on skill but also on luck.

The Scoring Page is very important, as it allows players to clearly see the Points differences between different servers.

Before the Falling Leaf, they hadn't noticed anything, but now, seeing such a large gap in Points, they suddenly panicked.

"Let's go, next one."

The monster the team encountered was still a small one, but this time they unlocked the Battle Broadcast System.

In other words, the system will broadcast in real time when players kill each other or when servers destroy defensive towers.

"That's great! We'll know where the battles are happening immediately. Based on the Interstellar Canyon map, it'll be easy to guess where the battles are taking place!"

The Falling Leaf thought with delight.

Jiu Chen is right, the Nebula Region is indeed the key to the competition.

"Next, next!"

If the functions unlocked by the first and second monsters are useful, then the functions unlocked by the third monster are very powerful.

This monster was much stronger than the two we fought before, but it was quickly killed by the combined attack of 50 players.

Falling Leaf predicted that this monster's unlocked functions would be more powerful than the previous two, but he didn't expect them to be this powerful.

That is...

Map Function!

The map of Interstellar Canyon appeared to their right; they could see it just by turning their heads.

The map not only marked the location of each server's Guardian Tower, but also the specific location of each player.

"666... Jiu Chen is too amazing!"

Iron Blood Blade looked on with admiration.

The appearance of the map sealed their victory.

They can see where everyone else is.

If they still can't get first place, then that's really unacceptable!

Eight hours have passed since we arrived here.

Other teams exploring from other servers also reached the center of the road.

They saw the Black Nation and White Nation on the southwestern line meet and fight again.

[Black]Aurora has killed [White]Serrin

[White]Speciale has killed [Black]Dolor.

The kill announcements kept playing.

The players from the Dragon Nation were quite eager to participate.

"Captain One-Sword, shouldn't we go and fight too?"

With the Map Function available, everyone was eager to rack up Points.

Iron Blood Blade shook his head, recalling the contents of Xiao Fan's strategy guide; there was still one important function they hadn't unlocked.

"We still have time to continue exploring."
