Baby with Daoist Monarch System

Chapter 452: Chapter 169: Searching for the Time Gem

After a day of traveling, the [Miraculous] squad had reached the edge of the Catastrophe-level Contaminated Area.

Even with Xu Ran’s presence, Blue Star had undergone earth-shattering changes, and even the safe zones of the Alien Battlefield had expanded dozens of times.

But the Catastrophe-level Contaminated Area remained just as it was.

Looking up, the entire Catastrophe-level Contaminated Area was shrouded in darkness, oppressive and overwhelming.

On the ground, piles of black skulls gathered together, forming vast mountains and riverbeds.

Even the rivers flowing through the Catastrophe-level Contaminated Area were gelatinous with pollution. Countless monsters surged in the gelatinous waters, churning up waves.

The moment the [Miraculous] squad entered, they immediately felt uncomfortable.

”The pollution in the Catastrophe-level Contaminated Area is too dense, and this is just the edge. We haven’t even gone in!” Tiger Girl said, suppressing her nausea.

They had always cultivated and lived in the Spiritual Qi-rich safe zones.

The pollution here was even more severe than the Alien Battlefield. Coming to such a heavily polluted place all of a sudden was indeed a bit of an adjustment.

Meanwhile, they all took out the [Purification Talismans] provided by Xu Ran and placed them on their bodies. These were enhanced versions of the [Little Purification Talisman].

Instantly, a refreshing feeling spread through their bodies, and the previous discomfort vanished.

As someone who had entered the Catastrophe-level Contaminated Area for training before, Xu Ran reminded them.

”I’ve already told you about the situation in the Catastrophe-level Contaminated Area before, but let me emphasize it again.”

”These skulls on the ground have a strong negative impact on humans, and those with weak wills may have their perceptions twisted by these skulls and be assimilated into the Catastrophe-level Contaminated Area, becoming pollution themselves.”

”Moreover, the pollution here will greatly enhance the combat power and speed of Exotic Star creatures, especially at night, when the effect doubles.”

”Not only should you pay attention to the influence of the skulls, avoiding getting lost, but also watch the trees around you; you never know when they might launch a sudden attack!”

...

After a short time, Xu Ran reiterated the precautions to the squad members, who listened intently.

”Lastly, during this period, you cannot use any protective measures; you can only use the [Invisibility Skill] to evade the countless monsters in the Contaminated Area!”

Although bringing the squad members to the Catastrophe-level Contaminated Area for training and to slay Divine Level creatures would also enhance their [Invisibility Skill].

The members nodded at Xu Ran’s request and said, ”Alright, big brother (Little Ran, Captain).”

Then, they all simultaneously used the [Invisibility Skill] and truly stepped into the Catastrophe-level Contaminated Area.

Upon entering, they saw on the plains ahead hordes of Crystal Beasts galloping forward, in a variety of bizarre shapes.

In front of the Crystal Beasts was also a massive army of Resentful Beasts.

The situation was exactly the same as the last time Xu Ran entered the Catastrophe-level Contaminated Area.

”Have the Crystal Beasts and Resentful Beasts not finished fighting yet?” Xu Ran muttered, then instructed the squad members.

”Don’t worry, stay calm. You just need to maintain the [Invisibility Skill] and walk steadily across the plains in front of you!”

This wasn’t because Xu Ran and the others couldn’t defeat the Crystal Beasts and Resentful Beasts.

In all honesty, even if the Crystal Beasts and Resentful Beasts attacked them en masse, they would be easily dealt with without Xu Ran needing to intervene.

However, they were here to hone their [Invisibility Skill] and couldn’t do that.

Thus, in an invisible state, they prepared to walk steadily between the two large armies.

As soon as they stepped onto the plain, the 9 million Qi Blood Crystal Beasts and Resentful Beasts at the forefront of the armies instantaneously turned towards Xu Ran and the others.

Yet, they saw no one.

”Strange, why do I feel humans have entered the Contaminated Area?”

The two 9 million Qi Blood monsters simultaneously felt a hint of doubt. But in the direction they looked, there was no human presence.

Seeing this, Xu Ran immediately spoke to guide them.

”Don’t rush, unite your Heart Spirit, observe the environment carefully, and let your body perfectly blend with the light!”

”Tiger Girl, test the battle intent on you, it’s too obvious!”

”Yu Heng, mind the light, let yourself blend in.”

”Guan Xin, pay attention to the surrounding pollution; don’t let it affect you.”

”Ningshuang, keep your steps steady and mind the wind.”

”Chichi, maintain synchronization with the plains to reduce the risk of being discovered!”

...

As they walked, Xu Ran taught them the essentials of the [Invisibility Skill], pointing out their mistakes to prevent them from being discovered.

After listening to Xu Ran’s guidance, they began correcting their shortcomings.

In no time, everyone’s level of the [Invisibility Skill] improved significantly.

Among them, aside from Xu Ran, Tiger Girl and Zhu Yuheng were the most talented, with others following.

But under Xu Ran’s Enlightenment, even Guan Xin, Tang Chichi, and Ningshuang, who previously couldn’t perform the [Invisibility Skill] well, could now use it proficiently.

Gradually, on the entire plain, there was no trace of human presence.

The two 9 million Qi Blood creatures, who had just been doubtful, noticed nothing unusual and focused back on each other.

”After years of battles, nerves are tense. How could there be any humans appearing in the Catastrophe-level Contaminated Area?”

The same thought rose simultaneously in both creatures’ minds.

The squad members, realizing the two 9 million Qi Blood creatures were no longer watching them, breathed a sigh of relief.
