"Earth's Essence," this name was not unfamiliar to Yi Tianchen. It had been mentioned in the detailed introduction of Dragon's Roar that the forging of Dragon's Roar was mediated by Earth's Essence.
However, what exactly was Earth's Essence? Yi Tianchen and the others were completely in the dark!
"Village Chief, what is Earth's Essence? Where can we find it?" With endless confusion, Yi Tianchen bravely spoke up amidst his excitement and bewilderment.
The Elder Villager chuckled and reminisced, "Earth's Essence is the lifeblood of this land, a vital essence that has condensed over countless ages. It is the most miraculous medium between heaven and earth!"
Yi Tianchen was taken aback, and a bitter feeling welled up inside him. Although he now understood the specific explanation of Earth's Essence, he felt no relief; instead, he sensed an unprecedented heaviness.
The lifeblood of the earth condensed over countless ages? What kind of concept was that? Yi Tianchen thought that it was no longer a matter of whether they could find it somewhere, but rather whether it still existed on this continent at all.
"In the later stages of the Holy War a thousand years ago, the last usable Earth's Essence was used to forge Dragon's Roar! Otherwise, with our dwarven forging techniques, though exquisite enough, it would still be quite difficult to rank among the Three Divine Weapons!"
Yi Tianchen was suddenly shocked. The Elder Villager had finally formally acknowledged his identity, confirming Yi Tianchen's initial guess that this short-statured village chief was indeed a lost Dwarf.
But another piece of information revealed to Yi Tianchen felt like a bucket of cold water splashed on him in subzero temperatures.
"Why... was it the last usable one?"
Yi Tianchen suddenly sensed the magical information contained in that statement and couldn't help but ask excitedly, "Village Chief, do you mean that we can still find Earth's Essence?"
The Elder Villager stroked his beard and laughed heartily, nodding, "You're right. Although Earth's Essence is extremely rare and precious, it is not impossible to find. It is said that every 500 years a new one forms. Now that a thousand years have passed since the Holy War, there should be three Earth's Essences available!"
"Then where can we find Earth's Essence?" Yi Tianchen could hardly contain his eagerness.
"The lifeblood of the earth comes from the essence gathered from every inch of land. It is rumored that their ultimate gathering point is called Rebirth Sea. In the center of Rebirth Sea lies a Rebirth Stone. After condensing and settling, Earth's Essence will appear on the Rebirth Stone!"
"And where is Rebirth Sea?"
"Boundless Land!"
"Boundless Land?"
This time it was Liu Yuhan who was astonished. Yi Tianchen and the others were also taken aback as they heard Liu Yuhan exclaim in surprise, "Is it the Boundless Land known for its Three Great Forbidden Lands?"
"Oh?"
The Elder Villager finally acknowledged someone other than Yi Tianchen, looking at Liu Yuhan with curiosity. He nodded and said, "I didn't expect that there are still people today who know about the so-called Three Great Forbidden Lands. Quite rare, indeed!"
Liu Yuhan merely smiled lightly and did not respond further. Taking the opportunity, Yi Tianchen pressed on, "Village Chief, could you please tell me how to get to the Boundless Land?"
"Hehe..."
The Elder Villager chuckled and returned to Yi Tianchen's question seriously. "In the documents left by our predecessors, it is recorded that in the western forest of Southern Wilderness City, there is a small village called Boundless Land. Their existence is meant to guard an eternal secret, which I believe must be related to the Boundless Land. However..."
"But... what?"
Yi Tianchen's eyes widened in disbelief; he really wanted to hold a knife to the Elder Villager's throat and force him to reveal everything he knew.
"However, that was hundreds of years ago. Whether this Boundless Village still exists or not is uncertain!"
"Uh..."
Yi Tianchen felt a wave of speechlessness wash over him. But regardless of whether it still existed or not, he had no other choice at this moment; he had to go.
***
Maple Village.
"Tianchen, why don't we accompany you?"
Liu Yuhan winked at Yi Tianchen and thoughtfully added, "However, I think your current task should be to break through to level 30 first and strive to secure the first spot for intermediate job advancement. I've heard that the first player to complete the intermediate job advancement will receive rewards from the System!"
"Yes, I agree!" Li Tielong said decisively.
Yi Tianchen smiled slightly. "Don't worry; while searching for the Boundless Land, I will prioritize leveling up. I've decided to set off this afternoon and aim to complete it before the small village quest starts in two days!"
"Brother Luomu, are you really going alone?" Hero Does Not Question Origin expressed concern.
Indeed, the bounty on Yi Tianchen has not yet been lifted, and with the news of his defeat of the Golden Boss being announced by the System without consent, it is estimated that around 80% of the players on the server have linked Yi Tianchen with valuable equipment and are likely searching for him.
After a moment of contemplation, Yi Tianchen nodded and said, "If I go alone, my target will be relatively small. It won't be so easy for them to deal with me!"
Liu Yuhan replied, "Alright, since you are determined, we won't say much more. After defeating the Boss, everyone who wants to target you knows that we are together. If you head to the Western Forest alone, we will continue to move around Maple Village to disrupt their vision."
"Haha... that's right! They definitely won't expect that Brother Luomu has already gone alone to the west of Southern Wilderness City. As long as we get through the System's bounty period, everything will be fine!"
Hero Does Not Question Origin clapped his thighs in approval!
The action plan was finally confirmed, but before they set out, Yi Tianchen needed to book a long-term room at an inn. This was necessary because small villages or Waystations in the wild do not provide storage.
This is also why there are many robberies in the wild; without storage, valuable equipment must be carried on one's person, indirectly stimulating criminal activity.
The saying "A common man is innocent; possessing a gem brings guilt" illustrates this principle!
However, booking a long-term room at an inn allows for a certain amount of item storage. Of course, this comes at a cost.
After sorting everything out, Yi Tianchen and the others logged off for dinner. During their meal break, they used a notebook provided by their studio to access the Game Forum. As expected, news about their defeat of the level 35 Golden Boss had become widely known.
As a pinned post, it had garnered over a million views in just one hour, with countless replies. Yi Tianchen glanced through it and found that most comments were malicious taunts, with some even threatening to report them for cheating.
It was easy to understand; those who usually hoped for Heavenly rewards suddenly found that the bounty had fallen not on them but on Yi Tianchen and his group. Thus, driven by human nature's weaknesses, they directed their ire towards Yi Tianchen.
Five minutes after dinner, they returned to their rooms and logged back in!
Upon exiting the inn, Yi Tianchen was surprised to find Hero Does Not Question Origin, Stinky Fish, and Far Apart waiting for him.
Next to them was a beautifully crafted carriage parked nearby.
"Brother Luomu, we've rented you a carriage! Wishing you a safe journey!" Hero Does Not Question Origin chuckled as he approached Yi Tianchen and immediately performed a handover ceremony for the carriage.
"Thank you!"
Yi Tianchen nodded solemnly, a faint smile on his face, feeling a deep sense of emotion within. His encounter with Hero Does Not Question Origin and the others was indeed a coincidence, and until now, they had only spent three or four hours together.
"Ha... Brother Luomu, you are too kind!" Stinky Fish and Far Apart stepped forward.
Before long, Li Tielong, Mu Wanqing, and Lin Yan appeared. Liu Yuhan, however, walked towards the outskirts of the small village, gathering several branches and quickly weaving them into a Vine Ring, which she placed on Yi Tianchen's head. With a slight smile, she said, "Be careful. I hope to see a brand new you two nights from now!"
Yi Tianchen nodded. "Yes, two nights from now, before the Defend the Mountain Village mission begins, I will definitely be back."
"It's a promise!"
After their warm exchange, Yi Tianchen climbed onto the carriage and waved goodbye to everyone. He inadvertently caught sight of the sadness that flickered in Liu Yuhan's beautiful eyes. His heart skipped a beat, yet he felt a warmth wash over him.
For this beautiful girl with whom he shared a mysterious fate, Yi Tianchen always felt an indescribable sense of wonder!
Once inside the carriage, Yi Tianchen immediately took control of the driving panel. Due to certain special reasons, it was not advisable to pass directly through Southern Wilderness City. Currently positioned southeast of Southern Wilderness City, he could only go around the south gate before turning westward to determine the final route.
Soon, with Yi Tianchen's command, the carriage surged forward as if it had suddenly pressed down on the accelerator, swiftly disappearing from everyone's sight…
