Chapter 138

Now it's directly at the feature level [Trajectory Prediction], with a longer time frame, a wider range, and more targets.

Immediately afterwards, Wen Jing retracted his wings, his body still steadily hovering in mid-air.

Unlike in the past, there is no longer a need to release Gravity Silk to stick to other objects with mass as fulcrums.

At this moment, the gravity around her bent and changed, canceling out the gravity from the ground, allowing her to reach a state of weightless equilibrium without relying on any other matter.

Even if the place becomes empty, she can still maintain this floating state without using flight.

Matter and energy cause spacetime to curve, and gravity is the Geometry effect of this curvature.

If Wen Jing's Gravity Silk were previously a special organ that transmitted force within her, now that they've been upgraded, they've become an ability—an ability to intervene in and manipulate the Geometry of spacetime.

The pale figure, like an eerie ghost, drifted towards the ruins.

If others were to see this floating motion, it would evoke a counterintuitive sense of unease.

Because Wen Jing can now change the inertia.

Moving at high speed from one point to another, from a stationary state to a moving state, can suddenly accelerate, and from moving to a stop, can suddenly decelerate, making it look like several frames have been cut out of the original smooth animation.

It wasn't even a teleportation effect; you could actually see her movement trajectory. How could that not be terrifying?

"Is this the ' Inertia Manipulation ' feature? And it can even be applied to other people or objects?"

Wen Jing casually kicked a stone.

The stone immediately flew up, but only halfway up, its speed suddenly slowed down. Just as it was about to land, it seemed to become as light as a feather, tracing another trajectory.

If this force is applied to other objects, it can make them appear as if they have reduced mass, making their starting, changing direction, and stopping much faster; conversely, it can also cause them to become stuck and overextended, making it difficult for them to accurately control their own strength and speed, thus disrupting the rhythm of the battle.

Next, she continued her experiment with [Gravitational Lens].

The next moment, without using invisibility, Wen Jing's figure suddenly became intermittent.

Due to the warping of spacetime, the light and energy rays passing through her were all deflected in extremely subtle ways.

Because of this characteristic, Wen Jing's [Basic Invisibility] was directly upgraded to [Advanced Invisibility].

This is no longer optical invisibility, but a method of concealment closer to spatial distortion, making it undetectable by Zou Jie's sonic detection ability. It's unknown how it will fare against Luosi's [True Sight] ability.

At the same time, Gravitational Lens can also deflect some long-range energy attacks, weakening them.

As for the last one— the Gravitational Field.

"Splash..."

Centered on Wen Jing, the ruins below her trembled, and fractured rock layers, plants, moss, and other materials all entered the weightless vacuum field, slowly floating up one by one.

The jellyfish remains buried underneath, as well as other Wilderness Beast affected by the explosion, also came to light.

"Swish! Swish! Swish!"

Wen Jing weaved through the gaps created by the Gravitational Field, like a character in a mini-game, nimbly and precisely avoiding useless obstacles and devouring the most valuable Wilderness Beast.

Although the Gravity Silk Gland is listed as level two, in a horizontal comparison, it is now at the same level as the Frost Vein Silk Gland.

Due to the properties of gravity, Wen Jing even faster in Gravitational Field than in the Ice Domain.

She currently possesses two domain abilities: the Ice Domain, which leans towards defense, Gravitational Field, which leans towards offense.

"The texture... it really does taste a bit like cold jellyfish salad, so the Ancient Wilderness jellyfish is indeed a jellyfish..."

Wen Jing finally unlocked the last specialty dish on the surface of the underground world.

Luck, the jellyfish fragments shattered by the explosion still contained considerable energy.

Lifespan: 767, 769...

Strength: 759, 761...

Speed: 706

Spirit: 648, 652...

Except for speed, which didn't increase, the other three attributes all increased, which seems to make sense, as the Cold Flame Jellyfish is indeed very slow.

The good news is that the previously weak mental attribute has received the biggest boost, thanks to the troublesome nature of the Symbiosis Network.

With the Gravitational Field, the efficiency of Wen Jing is extremely high.

It directly avoided the trouble of digging through the ruins, leaving no jellyfish remains behind wherever it went, and even ate a lot of other Wilderness Beast buried in the explosion.

An hour later, Wen Jing looked at the panel and said regretfully, "It's a pity I didn't get the jellyfish's special ability."

Lifespan: 876

Strength: 868

Speed: 710

Spirit: 886

The previously lagging mental attribute has improved, while the speed is slightly behind. The points gained were from eating other Wilderness Beast, so overall the gains are substantial.

However, Wen Jing did not obtain the [Energy Siphon] ability that he most wanted from the jellyfish, perhaps because the explosion destroyed the core part.

However, after a brief moment of regret, she let it go—you can't expect everything to go according to plan.

If it weren't for her advantages with Gravity Silk and Howl of the Hunt, she wouldn't have been able to deal with the Cold Flame Jellyfish, a species that Symbiosis an entire group.

Even beings like giant insects seem too lazy to bother with them.

Having gained a great deal from this Ancient Wilderness journey and further enhanced his strength, Wen Jing calculated the current time and, instead of leaving, arrived at the Giant rift valley.

She didn't have any daytime classes today; they were all in the evening.

She plans to return deeper this time, leaving a 'location' so that she can explore directly next time.

After all, she had already thoroughly explored the sky, the surface, and the underground caves of this level, leaving nothing worth exploring.

"I wonder if those bright spots deeper inside are the lair of the giant insects?"

Thinking this, Wen Jing flashed and plunged down to meet the upward flow of cold water droplets.

While venturing deeper, we also took the opportunity to upgrade the Extreme Cold Core, focusing on efficiency.

It's worth mentioning that, after a month of training, her [Elementary Cold Extreme Physique] has been upgraded to [Intermediate Cold Extreme Physique].

"Splash..."

For the first kilometer, the cold water droplets steadily brushed against Wen Jing's body. After exceeding one kilometer, the cold water droplets became smaller and smaller until they disappeared completely, leaving only extremely cold air.

The surroundings were completely dark, with only the light of the stars surrounding the moon twinkling in the distance.

It seems so close, yet so far away.

It wasn't the giant insects' active season, so Wen Jing, unable to hitch a ride, moved forward in silence, and couldn't help but have the illusion that he wasn't going deep underground, but flying into space.

She had been moving at full speed for five hours, just when she was considering pausing and returning to work.

Suddenly, a spot of 'starlight' grew larger and brighter.

"Hmm? It seems we're getting closer."

Wen Jing's spirits lifted, and he immediately changed direction.

There are no jellyfish or fluorescent plants in this deep underground space, and the horizontal space is so vast that it seems boundless; it's no different from exploring outer space.

Compared to the 'moon' and other 'stars' whose brightness remained unchanged, this change indicates that the bright spot is the closest to her now.

Sure enough, as they continued in that direction, the 'star' rapidly grew larger and brighter, soon surpassing the original 'moon' and becoming the largest light source in Wen Jing's field of vision.

But the closer they get, the lower the temperature becomes.

"It's probably close to absolute zero around here." Wen Jing couldn't help but shiver.

If she hadn't reached the Intermediate Cold Extreme Physique, she wasn't sure if she could withstand the temperature here.

She could tolerate the temperature, but it was definitely not to the point where she could 'adapt' to it.

Finally, after changing direction and traveling for more than an hour, she could make out the outline of the light source in the distance.

It seemed to be a floating island of light suspended in the darkness.

The glowing part is the floating island itself, composed of a luminescent crystal. Unlike the subtle fluorescence of moss or the iridescent leaps of the Cold Flame Jellyfish, it is a... pure and mysterious pale white radiance.

Although he didn't sense any energy fluctuations from the Wilderness Beast at this distance, Wen Jing still slowed down and cautiously approached.

She didn't know if other creatures existed underground, but the giant insect definitely existed, and she had to be wary of the possibility that it was their lair.

As she got closer, she saw more details.

The floating islands are not a single piece, but rather fragmented into pieces of varying sizes, yet they are stably clustered together like a meteorite belt.

From this distance, we can estimate that the largest floating island is about three thousand meters long, and the smaller ones are about five or six hundred meters long. There are also some that are obscured and cannot be clearly seen at the moment.

There seems to be something in there...

The moment Wen Jing saw what was inside the floating island, his movements suddenly froze, his mind reeling.

Chapter 138

Wen Jing's energy gathered, his body suddenly shrank into a tiny insect [Compressed State], instantly entering his strongest battle stance.

From the largest, glowing floating island in front of her, a gigantic, terrifying head emerged, its comb-like mouth connected to a segmented, mountain-like body behind it.

Its chelipeds are wide open, presenting a lunging posture.

It was a giant insect!

Wen Jing even discovered that this was not the same giant insect he had hitched a ride with before. The former was several hundred meters long, while this one was even larger, with a length estimated to be almost over a kilometer.

The iconic crystalline section on the back is larger and thicker, and instead of being dark red, it is a deep, ethereal blue.

However, after a moment of shock and disbelief, Wen Jing realized that the giant insect in front of him did not seem to be alive.

It was completely encased in the floating island, as if solidified in a piece of luminous amber, maintaining its fierce posture, becoming a lifelike statue.
