Players rashly exploring around were met with fierce attacks from monsters nearby the coast.
Qi Sheng found through real-time statistical data.
Nearly one-third of the players heading to Colorful Mist Coast were killed during the exploration of the new scene, and this number continues to grow.
Before opening teleportation, Qi Sheng conducted area sampling.
He found that the hunting intensity in the Colorful Mist Coast Region is completely opposite to that of the Emperor Tomb Mountain Range.
The Black Tide and Insect Tide in the Emperor Tomb Mountain Range area are characterized by a large number, but the strength of individual combat units is not high.
There are neither Evil Spirits nor Black Tide in the Colorful Mist Black Coast Region, and the monsters that inhabit here are characterized by strong individual combat power but low density. Even the gregarious monsters are not as dense in number as the Black Tide and Insect Tide.
It is foreseeable that the opening of the new map will inevitably bring about a wave of hot updates on Star Vein combinations to adapt to the new map’s combat environment.
But in the choice of the main battlefield, Qi Sheng will still focus on the development of the Emperor Tomb Mountain Range area.
Once players become familiar with exploring the new map, they will find that to grow rapidly, Emperor Tomb Mountain Range is the better choice.
Although ferocious, the Insect Tide and Black Tide are excellent hunting targets.
Hunting at Colorful Mist Coast still requires exploration, and searching, but the Black Tide and Insect Tide in the Emperor Tomb Mountain Range region are rampant right up close.
Whether it’s for evolution points or sacrificial power, the gains from Emperor Tomb Mountain Range are far higher than those from Colorful Mist Coast.
Especially for those guilds seeking development, the Emperor Tomb Mountain Range is their excellent choice, whereas Solo Players would prefer to develop on Colorful Mist Coast.
But in the early stages of the opening, the enthusiasm for exploring new maps is still on the rise.
A player posted a thread, drawing the attention of many players.
In the thread, the player described how they accidentally discovered an ancient temple while exploring the dense rainforest behind the coast.
Thinking it was an Easter egg scene, the player bravely entered to explore.
During this time, they found that the temple was full of mechanisms, suggesting there might be Hidden Tasks or Easter egg treasures inside. The poster hoped more players would join in the exploration to search for the hidden treasures in the temple.
The thread also contained many scene screenshots, sparking hot discussions among the players.
It also attracted many interested players to go there. They entered the temple according to the coordinates in the thread and tried to challenge the mechanisms to advance.
The thread was not very popular at this stage.
Until a player discovered a mural in the temple, after the text on it was translated by Guidance Analysis, they obtained the following phrase:
"Only the Potential Warrior who completes the trial can be rewarded by the Snake Ancestor; through challenges filled with thorns, must maintain a fearless heart, a resolute will, overcoming numerous difficulties, until the Peak of Trial, where the Power of Snake Ancestor will commence, bestowing the warrior with the glory they deserve."
This translated message represents two meanings in the players’ interpretation.
One, the mechanism trial in the temple is a hidden Easter egg task.
Two, the player who completes the Easter egg challenge can obtain wealth bestowed by the Snake Ancestor, which might be a significant gain in sacrificial power.
This screenshot was exposed in the forum and immediately attracted a large number of players to enthusiastically participate in the challenge.
Imperial Tomb Village.
After the Resurrection Cooldown ended, Ding Yu’s figure appeared in Resurrection Square.
Learning from the popular videos, he tried to perform the art of assassination amidst the Insect Tide, with very tragic results.
After trying five times, each time he switched to physical form at the moment of attack, due to not precisely controlling the attack frequency of the Insect Warriors, he was overwhelmed and devoured by the swarming insects.
"Ah, this is so difficult."
After failing for the fifth time, Ding Yu completely gave up the idea of trying again.
He also realized that to replicate the impressive performance in the videos, one needs to go through long and arduous training, something that isn’t simply possible for an average player to imitate.
At this point, he walked towards the Transmission Square in the eastern area of Imperial Tomb Village.
During the Resurrection Cooldown period, he discovered that many players on the gaming forum were heading to Colorful Mist Coast to challenge the temple trial.
After watching a few challenge videos, he became greatly interested.
The temple trial felt to him like a level mode in an adventure game, filled with traps, puzzles, and a series of challenges, and so far no player had successfully passed the trial.
With curiosity, he came to Imperial Tomb Village’s Transmission Square.
The ground here was paved with white jade stones, etched with complex Spiritual Patterns.
In the center stood a towering teleportation gate, at its core a swirling vortex of colors.
He could see players nearby continuously entering Transmission Square, wanting to go through the teleportation gate to the Colorful Mist Coast Region.
Following the crowd, he went straight to the teleportation gate and stepped in.
Immediately, a teleportation option popped up.
[Challenger Tips: Entering Space Transmission Channel, please select the teleportation destination]:
1. Colorful Mist Coast (Cost: 5 points of sacrificial power)
Although it’s a teleportation option, the only available destination to choose from at the moment.
On the right side of the option, there is also a miniaturized top-down map of the teleportation scenery.
From it, you can see the white sandy beach connecting the azure sea and the lush rainforest behind.
Touching the "Colorful Mist Coast" option with his consciousness, a colorful channel stretches out like building blocks in front of him, constantly extending toward the end.
A strong suction force comes along, pulling him quickly forward.
When the suction disappears, he finds himself at the Space Transmission node of Colorful Mist Coast.
The air here carried a hint of sweetness, not far away a group of players were roasting a crab-like creature over a campfire, chatting and laughing, in a leisurely vacation-like manner.
Summoning the map function, the overview scroll unfolded before his eyes.
