Chapter 734: Adventurers of Tianyuan City (4K)_2
The Suspended Domain has only recently risen, and the entire Ten Directions Island Domain—Ten Directions Sky Island is still in a stage of recovery. It can be imagined that the Lord of Tianyuan City hardly has any spare time right now.
Duke Yaoguang and several Lords, including Fiery Blaze, headed towards the north of the Tianyuan City Circle.
After all, they were genuinely curious about the scene of the Holy War.
They couldn't witness the Holy War firsthand, but by observing the aftermath of the Holy War in the world, they could more or less imagine the scene on that day.
It fulfilled a bit of their curiosity.
…
North of the Tianyuan City Circle.
The blockade of the golden desperate wall had long ceased to exist.
Standing on the city wall of the outer camp of the Tianyuan City Defense Circle, the professionals could gaze far into the disastrous scene in the distance.
The shattered earth;
The bottomless giant pits;
The mountains infected by scarlet, transformed into unspeakable colossal entities;
The valleys shrouded in mist and red fog, faintly revealing some gigantic shadows;
All these disastrous scenes spoke of the terror of the Holy War that day.
Above the camp, including inside the Steel Train heading to the various outer transitional camps, broadcasts kept repeating.
"Warning! Warning!"
"The vast majority of the Ten Directions Island Domain was polluted in the previous Holy War, with fallen Monster Sacred Realm remnants turning the region into an unnameable, unpredictable danger zone."
"The wilderness outside the city is filled with potential crises, adventurers and explorers must proceed with caution, must proceed with caution."
Duke Yaoguang could imagine the dangers outside the city.
The danger zones, with the remnants of Sacred Realm Great Force, if delved into even with a slight carelessness, could lead to the demise of Law Realm strong persons, let alone ordinary Legendary Realm and below professionals.
To them, these danger zones are akin to 99.99% death, 0.01% survival.
But even so,
Even though many adventurers are experienced and clearly aware of the external dangers,
When Duke Yaoguang and his group arrived at the frontline camp on the northernmost end of the defense circle, they were still stunned by the bustling crowd of adventurers here.
"What's going on, why are there so many people?"
"Tai Xuan's professionals are so brave? They should know that crises are everywhere outside, even Law Realm could perish!"
They only intended to gaze from within the defense circle, at most just linger near the defense circle, with no intention of venturing deep into the wilderness.
They were too aware of the terrors of the Sacred Realm.
They were still young and had limitless potential for the future, how could they let themselves tread into danger?
"I get it."
Fiery Blaze·Hale said, "For us, such adventures aren't worthwhile, but in the eyes of countless ordinary professionals, even Legendary Realm, it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
"The wilderness outside is fraught with danger, but also a treasure land filled with many opportunities!"
"Many professionals not only find it challenging to break into the Legendary Realm but also struggle to advance into the Third-order War General or Fourth-order Leader. Now, if they manage to gain a bit of Sacred Realm opportunity, they have a chance to leapfrog. At least to them, it feels like reaching for the heavens."
Fiery Blaze paused here.
Among the prominent Lords present from Shen Yao, only he came from an ordinary background, relying solely on his efforts. He understood too well the ordinary person's yearning for opportunity, for a chance to transcend classes.
Yaoguang and Diamond perceived adventuring as risky due to more secure pathways for advancement available to them.
Without such paths, being stuck in a quagmire for years, taking risks wouldn't seem much.
In the face of disaster, lacking strength is the greatest risk.
Moreover…
"The deep wilderness is indeed dangerous now, but these dangers mainly come from fragmented spaces, corruption, and remnants of Sacred Realm Great Force."
"That is to say, the dangers come from the environment. And dangers that arise from the environment often have patterns to follow."
"Some remnants of Sacred Realm Great Force might carry deadly threats that can severely injure or even annihilate Law Realm entities, but to an experienced explorer, such dangers might not be more troubling than a Monster Legend."
"After all, if a Legendary Realm Monster roams a particular area, encountering this monster is rare. But if encountered, for professionals below the Legendary Realm, it's a certain death. Conversely, environmental dangers may be avoided if the patterns are understood."
This is the fundamental reason why professionals feel adventuring is worthwhile.
But perhaps many people are not self-aware, believing they have unraveled the patterns of danger, yet unknowingly stepping into the danger zones.
Adventurers, naturally, tend to be prudent.
The adventurer teams active in Tianyuan City usually have at least one or two Fourth-order Leader Level experts within their ranks, mostly 'veteran individuals' active in the adventuring circle for several years, with rich exploration experience, knowing full well that to delve deep into danger zones and seize chances in peril, comprehensive preparation is crucial.
Burning Blade is one such seasoned adventurer.
Despite his insufficient natural talent, after more than ten years of struggle, he still remains stuck at the Fourth-order Limit. However, the 'Steel and Fire Adventure Team' he formed is quite famous in the industry.
Since the establishment of the Steel and Fire Adventure Team, they have explored a total of thirty-nine dangerous places!
Among these, six have been completely conquered by the Steel and Fire Adventure Team—meaning they have studied the entire pattern of the danger zone, allowing elites to survive comfortably within the danger zone by carefully following their strategies.
This is precisely why the Steel and Fire Adventure Team holds significant renown in the industry.
Even many major adventure teams with Legendary Realm strong persons holding fort do not match their reputation.
The Steel and Fire Adventure Team is not large, consisting of just a dozen or so members, renowned for their elite status.
At this moment,
At the entrance of the frontline camp, many adventure teams and exploration teams are recruiting personnel or seeking collaboration.
Steel and Fire Adventure Team is one among them.
"But, Captain, why did you turn down the cooperation proposal from that Broken Cauldron Legend? The Broken Cauldron Mercenary Group has a full three Legendary strong persons!"
A young professional who recently joined the adventure team wondered.
Burning Blade chuckled, "The reason is simple. You see, when we recruit personnel this time, apart from specific capability requirements, what's our core requirement?"
Specific capability requirements mean certain rare skills can be incredibly useful during danger zone exploration.
Members of the Steel and Fire Adventure Team naturally possess scanning, alerting, tracking, protection, fleeing, and other essential skills for danger zone exploration, but the danger zone they're about to explore this time is different, not just more dangerous but also contains various bizarre disaster scenes, necessitating additional capabilities.
Besides that, it's…
"Must obey orders?"
The young professional replied.
The captain did emphasize this point during the interviews of professionals.
Burning Blade said, "Legendary Realm strength is indeed powerful, and I yearn to have it. But once we collaborate with the Broken Cauldron Mercenary Group, even if it's just cooperation, leadership is hard to retain. Even taking a step back, if leadership is ours, it's difficult to demand a Legendary Realm entity to follow our arrangements in every situation."
After all, he's just at the Fourth-order Limit.
Even with his senior status in this field and many prominent achievements in the industry, it's still insufficient to convince a Legendary strong person entirely.
Lacking the necessary strength, that's how it is.
Burning Blade said, "In those extremely dangerous danger zones and danger zones, Legendary strength isn't very necessary and can't resist the hazards within. On the contrary, if a Legendary entity recklessly triggers some disaster, it could potentially wipe out our entire team."
Burning Blade heard of similar tragedies.
There've been instances where Legendary entities attempted to muscle through, leading to significant casualties within the entire team in danger zones… Such events are numerous.
The danger zones in the Ten Directions Island Domain are among the most treacherous in the entire Tai Xuan Alliance.
Law Realm wouldn't dare to violently blaze a trail.
For these adventurer teams, regardless of having a Legendary Realm or not, only wisdom-driven efforts prevail.
Within Tianyuan City, Mu Yuan quietly observed the adventurer teams about to depart, nodding slightly.
Danger zones outside the city, if Lapis were to take action, they could naturally be violently purified.
However…
As the professionals anticipated, these danger zones contain opportunities.
Of considerable value.
Forcibly cleansing them would be too wasteful.
Let these seasoned adventurers explore, strategize, and after understanding them, arrange for people to selectively eliminate certain hazards. In the future, these danger zones outside Tianyuan City may transform into treasure lands.
Plan successful~
