"What you see now is the overview of the 'Desperate Battlefield'."
"So far, five 'Desperate Battlefields' have appeared in the world. We will number them according to the chronological order of their appearance."
"The one behind Chiyan Base, number 03."
On the podium, Xu Tao said loudly.
"In the 'Desperate Battlefield', an energy called 'Nether Particles' will appear, which is released by 'Netherworld'."
"You all know Youyin. Youyin usually appears in the forbidden area. Giant beasts can improve their rank by absorbing the energy of Youyin."
"Normally, the 'Netherworld Particles' released by Youyin will be quickly neutralized by the ubiquitous Yuan Power."
"However, in the 'Desperate Battlefield', due to the large number of Netherworlds and the influence of overlords and nightmare-level behemoths, the 'Netherworld Particles' cannot be completely neutralized."
"They are everywhere in the 'Desperate Battlefield', but fortunately, the 'nether particles' per unit of space are limited, and their concentration has not reached a level that would kill ordinary people."
"Even so, 'Netherworld Particles' will still have an impact on us humans. Ordinary people's immunity will be reduced in the 'Desperate Battlefield', and the overall body function will decline."
"There will be no impact on the cultivator's body, but the movement of Yuanli will be several minutes slower than usual, and the perception will be limited due to the presence of 'netherworld particles'."
"in addition...."
Xu Tao pointed towards the thick fog areas on the big screen.
"This is 'miasma', which is formed by the gathering of high concentrations of 'netherworld particles'. They cannot be blown by the wind and will stay in specific areas."
"'Miasma' is very dangerous. If ordinary people enter it, they will quickly experience hypothermia, and their blood will mutate and become highly toxic."
"The cultivator's Yuan Power can neutralize these phenomena, but in the 'miasma', the cultivator will be in a very disadvantageous state."
"In order to neutralize the influence of 'Miasma', Yuanli will be consumed at an extremely fast speed. At the same time, the sense of direction and distance will be lost, and even the instruments will lose their function."
"The formation of 'Netherworld Miasma' is related to 'Netherworld Veins', which are special earth veins formed by the accumulation of a large number of Youyin."
"Basically, where there is 'Nether Miasma', there must be 'Nether Veins', and there are also places where giant beasts gather. Therefore, if you see 'Nether Miasma', don't approach it easily."
"Of course, as students of the academy, you will move around in the safe zone. Basically, there will be no 'haunted barrier' or 'nether vein' in the safe zone."
Swish, swish, swish~
Luo Yan took a ballpoint pen and wrote down what Xu Tao mentioned in his notebook, taking notes carefully.
Bai You was also taking notes, but she copied more slowly. She glanced at Luo Yan's notebook from time to time, and then wrote quickly to fill in the blanks in the notebook.
On the podium, Xu Tao allowed the students to digest the information before continuing.
"The 'miasma' and 'nether veins' I mentioned above are one of the more special ecologies on the battlefield."
"Next, what I want to mention is another special kind of survival."
"Painwood."
On the big screen, a big black tree appeared. It looked like an arbor, but its branches were extremely twisted and looked a bit like human arms.
On its surface, the trees have strange patterns, forming painful human faces.
Xu Tao said: "The pain tree is very similar to other trees on the battlefield. They are all dark and tall."
"However, if you look a little closer, you will find that the tree body of this tree is not straight enough and has a slightly twisted appearance."
"And its branches and tree patterns are unlike any other trees."
"This tree will prey on severely injured humans, animals, and even giant beasts."
"It pierces the prey's body with branches and then releases a special sap that irritates the prey and makes them die in excruciating pain."
"The prey's painful emotions and the hormones secreted when they are tortured are the 'food' of the pain tree."
"So when we split open the trunks of the Painwood, we often harvest a lot of rotting corpses, and you'll find that the brains of these corpses are missing."
"Yes, the hormone-secreting brain is the best food for the Painwood."
"Pain trees camouflage themselves in normal times. They only show their human face tree patterns when they are 'hunting', so it is difficult to detect them in normal times."
"But we can expose its disguise through instrument scanning."
"Pain trees are afraid of flames. You can use flames to clean them, but be careful because some giant beasts like to eat the sap secreted by pain trees. In addition, when pain trees are hurt, they will make a unique scream."
"Therefore, when the Pain Tree is attacked, it often attracts giant beasts."
"Unlike 'Miasma', the Pain Wood also exists in the safe zone, so you must be extra careful when moving and don't attack the Pain Wood easily."
Soon, Luo Yan had another record of the 'Painful Wood' in his notebook. He also drew a sketch of a Painful Wood in his notebook, marked it, and recorded it in detail.
Bai Yu whispered from the side: "The ecology of the Desperate Battlefield is really twisted and weird. The ecology of Weifa City is weird enough, but compared with the Desperate Battlefield, it is far behind."
Luo Yan nodded in agreement: "After all, it is an environment evolved from the border between at least two Jedi. It is normal for the ecology to be distorted and bad."
Looking at the big screen, Luo Yan was grateful. Fortunately, the 'space of ignorance' in the Fenshui area could be closed that day. Otherwise, if he was swallowed by the 'space of ignorance', he didn't know what kind of terrible ecology would evolve.
"There's something else to watch out for in the safe zone."
On the podium, Xu Tao continued.
At this time, a group of weeds appeared on the big screen. This group of weeds was formed by shrubs and herbs. There was a corpse in the weeds.
It was a human being. The corpse was tightly entangled in weeds, and almost the whole body was entangled in plants, as if it had fallen into a spider's web.
"Strangler grass, also called killer grass."
Xu Tao pointed to the grass balls on the big screen and said: "Such strangler plants exist in large numbers in desperate battlefields. They can cause suffocation by entangling prey."
"Unlike the pain tree, this plant only attacks humans. So far, scholars don't know how it can tell the difference between humans and other creatures."
"The most tenable theory now is that strangler grass can distinguish the pheromones naturally released by humans. When they determine the target, they will quietly entangle the prey and pull the prey deep into the grass. If not in time, If we deal with it, even cultivators will be in danger."
"So every camp in the safe zone is a grassless zone."
"And the grass near the camp must be cleared regularly every week to prevent strangulating plants from getting mixed in."
