Chapter 625: Tingyuan Swamp
After arriving at Sanyanggang, the four did not waste any more time and went straight out of the city and headed towards Tingyuan Swamp.
Because it was only about 20 kilometers from Sanyanggang to Tingyuan Swamp, they did not take the roller coaster this time, but walked there instead.
Li Qian discovered that quite a few people had left Sanyanggang one after another, and each of these people had an extraordinary aura.
According to Dean Xiao Mingyu, anyone who can come to this fourth-level dimension to train is at least an emperor-level beastmaster.
If your strength is not at the emperor level, coming here to train is just a waste. Of course, if there are experts escorting them, some young people from famous families will occasionally come here to train.
As they moved forward, people they knew would come over to say hello from time to time, mainly chatting with teachers Xiao Mingyu, Angusi Turi, and Hu Changtian.
The three teachers were all well-known figures in Shazhou Beast Taming University and knew a lot of people, so during this trip, they were recognized wherever they went, just like leaders going out for inspection. Li Qian was not surprised.
However, following the three leaders, even if he was just a minion, would still attract a lot of attention, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
He could only accept it helplessly. After all, this was the dimensional plane under the jurisdiction of Sand Island Beast Taming University. It was normal for adventurers to have many teachers and students.
Fortunately, although Li Qian was considered "famous" in Shazhou Beast Taming University, not many people knew his face, so a lot of trouble was avoided.
As the journey progressed, there were fewer and fewer acquaintances on the road who recognized them, which made Li Qian feel a lot more relaxed.
After walking about ten kilometers, a crossroad appeared at the end of the sight. Angusi Turi looked at the crossroad and introduced: "This crossroad leads to three places."
"Go straight south, and after about ten kilometers, you will reach the outer area of Tingyuan Swamp. To the west is another dangerous area called 'Black Cloud Ridge'. To the east, eighty kilometers away is another sentry post."
"In this entire dimensional plane, our human settlements only have four outposts in total, and no cities have been built."
Li Qian nodded his head to show his understanding. "This fourth dimension is full of dangers, mysteries and unknowns. It is not easy to build a city."
Dean Xiao Mingyu also echoed, "In fact, if we really want to build it, it's not that difficult. It's just that it will be more troublesome to garrison there, and it may involve a lot of manpower in Shazhou City."
As they were talking, they had already set foot on the road in the middle of the intersection and headed straight for Tingyuan Swamp.
The distance is about ten kilometers, and considering the physical fitness of Li Qian and the three teachers, it won’t take much time even if they walk.
About half an hour later, the four of them arrived at their destination - Tingyuan Swamp, or to be exact, the outer area of Tingyuan Swamp.
"This is Tingyuan Swamp." Li Qian looked at the endless plain covered with various grass plants and couldn't help but sigh.
Looking closely, the difference between the Tingyuan Swamp and ordinary swamps is quite obvious. The swamp itself does not look much different, except for the endless grassland and clear water.
The difference lies in the strange weather in the swamp. The swamp is covered with thick clouds and fog. From time to time, lightning flashes among the clouds, followed by rumbling thunder.
And because the entire swamp area is almost covered by dense fog, visibility in the swamp is actually not high. It is normal to get lost in it if you are not careful. For this reason, Director Hu Changtian also specially reminded, "Student Li Qian, don't be fooled by the calm appearance of this swamp. In fact, it is full of dangers."
As he spoke, he took out a metal can from his storage equipment and threw it out with all his might.
pat!
The metal can was thrown out and landed on a swamp. The swamp looked ordinary. The next moment, there was a loud splash, and a snake pet about the thickness of an adult's arm suddenly rolled out from the swamp and rolled the can directly into its body.
Li Qian even saw arcs of electricity appearing on the snake's body. With just a glance, he could tell that "this is a mid-level Thunder Horned Python."
Looking at the Thunder-Horned Python that had directly tied up the can and rolled it into crumbs, Li Qian's expression became very solemn.
This thunder-horned python is nothing, just a mid-level pet beast. Li Qian can kill it easily, but this is just the outer area of Tingyuan Swamp after all.
There is such danger in the outer area. Li Qian couldn't imagine how terrifying it would be inside the Tingyuan Swamp or even in the core area.
It is said that the ruins of the Posita where Dean Ouyang fell are located in the core area of Tingyuan Swamp. Li Qian feels that if the danger level is this high, he should not even think about rescuing him.
"Student Li Qian, this is the outer area of Tingyuan Swamp. Where do you think we should go for research next?" Angusi Turi pointed to the interior of Tingyuan Swamp and asked.
Li Qian did not answer immediately, but stood in the outer area of Tingyuan Swamp and observed. Just as he was concentrating on observing and his eyes fell on a certain area, a prompt sound suddenly rang in his mind.
[Task 2: The second evolution of Thunderbird, inspiration value +97, current task progress %! ]
"Hearing" the prompt sound in his mind, Li Qian couldn't help but feel happy. This time, he really came to the right place, Tingyuan Swamp.
He just came here and the inspiration value was triggered. It was so cool. He didn't hesitate and pointed directly in the direction where the inspiration value was triggered, "Go there."
"Okay, I'll lead the way for you." Upon hearing this, Angusi Turi tapped on the smart bracelet without any hesitation.
As he operated, a ray of light suddenly shot out from his smart bracelet. The light quickly spread and turned into a map in the blink of an eye.
Li Qian saw that the front of the electronic map was filled with red and green, one piece after another. It looked like it should be a map of the Tingyuan Swamp.
Angusi Turi stared at the map and said, "This is the map of Tingyuan Swamp. Green blocks represent safe areas, and red blocks represent dangerous areas. The darker the red, the higher the danger level."
Seeing Li Qian nodded in understanding, Hu Changtian added, "Of course, this is not absolute. After all, the pets in the swamp are not dead things. They can move."
Li Qian took note of what he heard. These were all very valuable experiences. In the future, when he went out to gain experience on his own, he might come up with them.
