This visit to the venue was also intended to test the capabilities of the Wilderness Weapon.
It now appears that even in a crowded and chaotic environment like the league venue, its use would still be detected and locked onto by top Awakened like the two deans.
With this understanding, Wen Jing knew how to use it in the future.
It can be used normally when facing enemies, but caution is advised when facing top-tier experts who are not enemies.
Not long after he entered the Ancient Wilderness again, Wen Jing couldn't sit still.
"Teacher, I'd like to try going to the Ancient Wilderness again."
Dean Bai was to be guarding the venue, nodded understandingly upon hearing this. "Go ahead. Even if you can't see the information about the Wilderness Beast, using them as weapons is fine."
There are concerns in the material universe, but not in the Ancient Wilderness world. Moreover, whether the Tactical Glasses can be used on Wilderness Beast is also a crucial issue.
So many first-year students saw 'Lightman' leave the league venue and head to Mystic Radiance's registration center, seemingly familiar with the area.
Many people already know about Wen Jing's complaint yesterday. Seeing that she doesn't even bother to watch the official league matches and instead focuses on improving herself, has made many people sigh.
Even in such a glorious and triumphant moment, she didn't relax at all; her cultivation pace remained unchanged. No wonder she's someone who can develop abnormally!
As a result, many people were affected. When Wen Jing came to the registration center again, it was no longer empty; instead, many Mystic Radiance students were there.
Upon her arrival, many eyes fell on her, and some even took the initiative to greet her.
" Wen Jing."
"Hi, Lin Yuan!"
Wen Jing had revealed her name, Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and felt a strange sense of honor as she observed the surprised gazes from those around her.
In the past, Ocher Soil Sheng would naturally have ignored someone like Zhe Mystic Radiance.
However, the person in front of him, Ocher Soil, was the champion of the Freshman League and had manipulated a group of high-level Awakened on the field, so the situation was naturally different.
Even though Wen Jing's potential rating remains unchanged at F, no one would now believe that her strength is only at F level.
It wasn't until Lin Yuan watched Wen Jing quickly complete the registration and disappear from the platform that she belatedly felt a pang of emotion.
Back in School District Planet, I always felt nervous facing Wen Jing because of his superior status. I thought everything would change after I awakened, but who would have thought that half a year later, everything would be back to normal...
At the same time, space and time change.
This time, Wen Jing did not use Gravity Silk for positioning during his Ancient Wilderness Traversal, but instead chose to travel randomly.
A heatwave swept through, the sun blazed down, and the air distorted due to the high temperature.
The insect appeared on a seemingly endless gravel plain.
"Boom..."
A continuous low-frequency hum could be heard, and in the distance, billowing smoke and dust rose from the towering mountains, spewing out crimson magma.
"The world is much deeper than this giant tree..."
Wen Jing could feel the Scorching Heat environment around her causing her harm. Even though the damage level was '-1-1...', the fact that it could cause her any damage at all, given her current physical strength, already demonstrated how terrifying it was.
Ultimately, the worlds that Awakened encounter when traversing the Ancient Wilderness are determined by their current strength; there is never any such thing as 'safety'.
"Look at these Tactical Glasses... Hmm? No wonder they're high-level Wilderness Weapon!"
Wen Jing took out the new Wilderness Weapon and discovered that it could adaptively shrink according to her thoughts.
Thus, a pair of gold-rimmed glasses with a green sheen were placed in front of the insect's compound eyes, adding a touch of cultured elegance.
Let's start by exploring the surrounding area.
Chapter 111
"This feels so weird..."
Wearing Tactical Glasses affected half of her vision, causing her to become nearsighted. However, as an insect, her field of vision is not completely covered by glasses like in a human, so her vision outside the lenses remains normal.
The strong sense of disharmony caused by this difference in line of sight meant that even Wen Jing took a while to adjust before taking any action.
When you arrive in an unfamiliar place, the first thing you should do is familiarize yourself with the environment.
Wen Jing glanced at the direction of the volcanic eruption and chose to explore in the opposite direction using a radial approach.
As the insect walked, it didn't forget to reach out and scoop up pebbles from the ground and put them in its mouth.
There was no other way; if you could gnaw on the bark of a giant tree, you could only gnaw on the soil in this scorching wilderness.
The hard, grayish-black sand and gravel melted instantly in his mouth thanks to his level five mouthparts and Digestion. After all, he had gained his growth by devouring an entire giant tree. Now, Wen Jing's 'pioneering' in this new world was not as difficult as when he had to start evolving from his eyes.
"Its strength and the energy it contains are similar to that of a giant tree..."
This also demonstrates that the depth of this world far surpasses that of the giant tree, because it is visibly vast.
However, after only a couple of bites, the little insect paused and stopped moving.
"No, it's too dry! And the more I eat, the drier it gets..."
Although it was soil, it's important to know that even desert sand can absorb trace amounts of moisture. Wen Jing not only didn't get any moisture from the sand, but also felt even drier.
She was aware of the harsh high temperatures when she first arrived, but her physical strength was able to withstand it. However, as time went on, the more fatal problem of dehydration became apparent.
In comparison, high temperatures actually cause less damage.
"In this way, just moving around here will continuously consume energy."
Wen Jing looked up at the star in the sky that was constantly radiating heat, and for the first time in the Ancient Wilderness, he felt a concrete environmental threat.
Moreover, this area, being Ancient Wilderness during the day, never experiences any cooling at night and remains constantly scorched.
In comparison, the first giant tree world that Wen Jing entered was truly 'habitable'.
She had only glanced at it casually, but unexpectedly, just as she was about to look away...
The star, as seen through the Tactical Glasses, was suddenly shrouded in a red hue.
[ Scorching Thirst Contamination ]/[???]...
"Hiss--"
Almost instantly, white smoke billowed from the insect's body, and the moisture inside its body Extreme Speed evaporated and vaporized, losing a full half of its moisture. At the same time, its body temperature exploded, putting it on the verge of spontaneous combustion at any moment.
escape!
Who would have thought that just glancing at the 'sun' would lead to this situation? Wen Jing made a quick decision and immediately burrowed underground.
"Splash..."
The surface gravel was also incredibly hot, and when it rubbed against Wen Jing's exoskeleton, for a moment she felt like she was making a 'beggar's worm'.
Even though she was injured again, she didn't stop and kept digging deeper into the gravel.
Wen Jing finally breathed a sigh of relief and stopped when she felt the temperature in the sand gradually decrease to a point where she could no longer withstand the environmental damage.
Looking at the panel again, his health had dropped below half.
This was only Wen Jing reacted quickly enough, glancing at it briefly before noticing something amiss and immediately looking away.
Lying prone on the dark, gravelly ground, she recalled the events that had just transpired with lingering fear...
Even if the red light and the words are only fleeting, she won't forget them.
It is known that Tactical Glasses do not display the 'environment', but only the 'creatures'.
So, is the sun in the sky of this world... Wilderness Beast?
Wilderness Beast as large as a star actually exists?!
Moreover, the terrifying damage he suffered after that single glance was clearly a targeted attack from the other side.
This kind of 'perception' that she gained after observing through her Tactical Glasses has only appeared in the material universe among powerful individuals of the level of the three deans.
"That means it's a high-level Wilderness Beast, at least C-rank?"
"No, the teacher's combat power is not that of an ordinary C-level. Not only can he easily defeat Xie Ming, who is at B-level, but he also has so many attributes... Therefore, that guy in the sky should at least be at the level of a fully Awakened B-level under normal circumstances, and could even be considered to be at A-level."
And then there's the only entry you can see on the other side: [ Scorching Thirst Contamination ].
Based on Wen Jing's previous experience of thirst and lack of water, it seems that the problem is not due to eating soil, nor is it simply due to environmental water shortage. Rather, this entire region is suffering from an extraordinary level of impact.
The environment here was partly created by a mysterious and powerful Wilderness Beast.
Wen Jing quietly hid in the underground gravel, activating his [Resurgence] ability, rapidly repairing the damage to his body.
If she were in the world of giant trees, she would have already started eating the surrounding gravel.
However, eating dirt here would only exacerbate her 'thirst,' making it a losing proposition, resulting in her energy being consumed without any intake.
Even so, Wen Jing still did not choose to use Skill Points to evolve resistance to adapt to this environment.
On one hand, she is only exploring for the first time, yet she seems to have already provoked a terrifying enemy.
If this Ancient Wilderness world is bizarre, with only one Wilderness Beast, the ' Stellar Beast ' in the sky, and that beast has already locked onto her, then she'll just give up exploring this world and just randomly travel through time again next time.
On the other hand, based on past experience, Skill Points are best used on evolving traits that she cannot obtain from the outside world; otherwise, it's not worthwhile.
Wen Jing's body initially had a single function, and the evolution of various basic organs was essential.
Her Digestion abilities are now quite strong, and she can gain new characteristics by devouring Ancient Wilderness treasures and Wilderness Beast, just like the attribute growth and resistance to various abnormal statuses she gained in the Giant Tree World.
Therefore, as long as other Wilderness Beast still exist in this world, there is a high probability that a way to deal with [ Scorching Thirst Contamination ] can be obtained after hunting them.
There's no reason why other creatures could survive but she couldn't.
Although Wen Jing currently has over two hundred Skill Points, she plans to use them to evolve the Gravity Silk.
Gravity Silk can only exert basic mechanical influences; they rely more on external gravity and the gravitational forces that affect them.
