Chapter 278: Prepare to Make Cards: Sha Wujing, Departure: Takla Desert
Since we are going to create [Sha Wujing], the first thing we need to clarify is what kind of monster he is.
If there was no Zhu Bajie, then Ye Ning would probably only be able to rely on his own knowledge to make assumptions.
After all, in Journey to the West, Sha Wujing’s true identity was not described in detail.
The only thing we know is that Sha Wujing's true form is a water monster.
But the water monster here is a general term, that is, the monster in the water.
However, since Zhu Bajie was right next to him, Ye Ning naturally would not go out of his way to ask directly.
"Junior Brother Sha's true body? Hehe, you know what, our Junior Brother Sha's true body is indeed quite rare. He is actually a spirit made of the quicksand in the Quicksand River. He is different from me, Old Pig. I was just born as a pig by mistake when I came to the mortal world, but Junior Brother Sha's true body was directly banished to the mortal world and suffered the pain of the flying sword piercing his chest."
Quicksand becomes a spirit?
Ye Ning was stunned when he heard Zhu Bajie's words.
He thought about whether it was some special fish monster or even a crocodile spirit, but he never expected that Sha Wujing was not an animal.
But no matter what it is, as long as it has a concrete image, it is good.
And if the quicksand became a spirit, Ye Ning immediately thought of what kind of original card to use.
[Elemental Elves]!
That’s right, since it is a spirit made from quicksand, it is obvious that [Elemental Spirit] is the most suitable original card for making [Sha Wujing].
The first choice of original card is [Elemental Elf·Sand], and the second choice is [Elemental Elf·Earth].
[Elemental Elf·Sand] is an extremely special variant of the earth elemental elf. Its formation is more complicated than that of ordinary earth elemental elves, and it is only partially produced in some special desert areas.
The Xian Qin Empire naturally has deserts, and it has the Takla Desert, which is the tenth largest desert in the world and also the second largest moving desert in the world.
In the center of the Takla Desert, there is an area called a restricted area, where [Elemental Spirit·Sha] cards are produced.
It was a place similar to the Dinosaur Canyon that Ye Ning had been to before. Both were special areas formed after the secret world was shattered and integrated into the Blue Star world. However, the Takla Desert was formed a long, long time ago. It was much more dangerous than the Dinosaur Canyon, and card masters below the Tianxiang realm were not allowed to enter the restricted area.
Because it was quite dangerous, Ye Ning initially thought about seeing if there were any special [Elemental Elf·Sand] original cards on the market, but unfortunately there were none.
Elemental Spirit cards themselves are relatively rare, especially this special mutated Elemental Spirit card, which is bought up almost as soon as it appears, and there is no such thing for sale on the market at all.
Therefore, Ye Ning finally decided to go to the Takla Desert himself to hunt for the [Elemental Spirit·Sand] card.
Coincidentally, according to the records, the card [Elemental Elf·Sand] comes from a special semi-elemental creature called [Quicksand Monster].
The so-called semi-elemental creatures are a kind of wrong advancement in the process of elemental creature advancement. That is to say, the wild [Elemental Elf·Sand] cannot complete the advancement due to some special reasons and will turn into [Quicksand Monster]. In fact, in most cases, the advancement of elemental elves in the wild will not be successful. This is also the reason why the probability of wild elemental lords appearing is extremely low.
There is a chance to get [Elemental Spirit·Sand] by using the crystal core of [Quicksand Monster] to crystallize. Different from the general crystal core crystallization, this kind of [Quicksand Monster] can also crystallize and it is possible for the original card [Quicksand Monster] to appear directly.
Because of this special mechanism, the output of [Elemental Spirit·Sand] is very small.
In addition to the [Quicksand Monster], there is a chance of encountering the [Elemental Spirit - Sand] and the [Elemental Lord of Sand] with an extremely low probability in the restricted area in the center of the Takla Desert.
To be honest, according to Sha Wujing's characteristics, whether it is [Quicksand Monster], [Elemental Spirit·Sand] or [Elemental Lord of Sand], they can all be used, but to make them, you have to have the best, so [Quicksand Monster] must be excluded.
Although its name is the most suitable for Sha Wujing.
The ability for half-elemental creatures to fail will indeed lower the upper limit of the [Sha Wujing] card.
As for whether it is [Elemental Spirit·Sand] or [Elemental Lord of Sand], it doesn’t matter. These two will only affect the current strength of the card itself and will not affect the upper limit.
Ye Ning could even upgrade [Elemental Spirit·Sand] once after getting it.
After checking a lot of information, Ye Ning prepared to head towards the Takla Desert.
Originally, Zhao Kai wanted to arrange for a few people to go with him, but Ye Ning refused.
Ye Ning’s current strength is not bad.
Although he was pushed to the Tianxiang realm during the amplification process, it felt like he was taking a shortcut.
But in fact, his breakthrough is even more solid than those normal breakthroughs.
You have to know that whether it is star power or mental power, they are squeezed out bit by bit. Ye Ning endured a lot of pain for this. The most important thing is that the mental power and star power that are supported are very pure, with almost no impurities.
If there is anything that Ye Ning really lacks compared to other Tianxiang Realm people, it may be combat experience.
In this regard, because Ye Ning grew too fast, he is really not that good.
But if we simply calculate based on combat power, an ordinary Tianxiang realm card master would not be a match for Ye Ning at all.
After Ye Ning rejected Zhao Kai's suggestion to arrange someone to protect him, he did not force it, but he still made a request.
That is to let Ye Ning upgrade his cards again.
Materials provided by the military.
Ye Ning did not refuse the free upgrade materials this time.
You should know that Ye Ning played a huge role in this god-killing mission and the connection between the two worlds, and he never made any requests.
In fact, according to Zhao Kai's original idea, Ye Ning could just wait at home, and he sent someone to get the original card of [Elemental Elf·Sand] for Ye Ning.
Ye Ning also rejected this. If the card happened to be available on the market or in the military warehouse, Ye Ning would not refuse it. But since it was not available, it would be meaningless to ask the military to hunt for this card specifically for him.
Moreover, for Ye Ning, it was a very fresh thing for him to take the initiative to obtain the original cards for making cards.
After all, he had only been a card maker for about two and a half years.
So this time Ye Ning was determined to get the original card himself.
The card upgrade process lasted for a week.
This week, Ye Ning upgraded almost all of his cards.
Almost all the cards have been upgraded to red epic or above. Among them, [Lady White Bone] has completely absorbed the skeleton beads and bone powder. With the help of some skeleton legendary materials from the military, her quality has directly broken through to gold legend. Since then, the field skill [White Tiger Ridge] has become a normal ability, and the original [Skeleton Control] has also been transformed into a field ability and integrated into [White Tiger Ridge]. At the same time, several major characteristics have been upgraded.
However, the biggest change is actually the attributes of [White Bone Lady]. After upgrading to legendary quality, [White Bone Lady]'s attributes changed from demon and monster to demon and fairy.
Yes!
[Madam White Bone] became an immortal!
[Demon's Body·Evil] was upgraded to [Demon Fairy's True Body].
[Iron Bones] was upgraded to [Immortal Bones]. A series of changes instantly made [White Bone Lady] once again Ye Ning's most powerful helper.
After all, legendary materials are hard to come by. The reason why skeleton-related legendary materials are more plentiful is because there are relatively few people in the military who follow the undead skeleton school.
So even if the military said they would provide Ye Ning with all the upgrade materials, it would not be enough to upgrade all his cards to legendary quality.
Except for [Lady of Bones], other cards still lack a lot of materials to be upgraded to legendary quality.
Ye Ning was not in a hurry. After all, he was already very satisfied just by upgrading [White Bone Lady] to the legendary level.
The most important thing was that he discovered that fairy cards only needed to be upgraded to legendary quality to automatically possess fairy attributes.
This was beyond Ye Ning's expectations.
However, it is understandable when you think about the fact that in Chinese mythology, the greatest pursuit of all monsters and demons is to become immortals.
It's just that it's quite rare for monsters to become immortals.
After completing the card upgrade, Ye Ning took a short rest for two days to recover his energy.
After that, I planned to set off.
Then he found that Zhao Kai came to Ye Ning with a familiar figure.
Ye Ning was stunned when she saw the familiar figure, and then she shouted in surprise: "Sister Mo, why are you here?"
That’s right, the person Zhao Kai brought was Chu Mo.
Speaking of which, Ye Ning hasn't seen Chu Mo for a long time since Chu Mo left for a mission. Naturally, he was very happy to see Chu Mo again this time.
"You don't want a bodyguard, but you need a guide. Without a guide, it's impossible for you to find the central restricted area of the Takla Desert by yourself.
Xiao Mo was stationed outside the Takla Desert for a long time before, and is very familiar with the situation there. There is no problem for him to be your guide."
After hearing what Zhao Kai said, Ye Ning hesitated a little. You know, it seems that the restricted area is not open to those below the Tianxiang realm.
He looked at Chu Mo and opened his mouth, wanting to refuse but not knowing how to start.
Chu Mo and Ye Ning spent quite a bit of time together. Looking at Ye Ning's hesitant look, he immediately knew what he was thinking.
As his mind moved, a powerful force emanated from his body.
"Tian Xiang Realm!" Ye Ning was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that Chu Mo was also in the Tian Xiang Realm.
"Although I am a little pervert like you, Xiao Ning, I have no problem protecting myself. Besides, if I get into danger, you will definitely not abandon me, right?" Chu Mo said with a smile as he looked at Ye Ning's somewhat dazed look.
Although he didn't know how Chu Mo's strength improved so quickly, since she had already said so, Ye Ning naturally couldn't refuse.
In fact, Ye Ning never felt that he had to explore alone, but Zhao Kai had always wanted to equip him with a few "bodyguards" at the Venerable Realm. You know, Ye Ning regarded this trip as an experience, but can an experience with bodyguards still be called an experience?
But it was different for Chu Mo. To be honest, if Chu Mo had not reached the Tianxiang realm, Ye Ning would still be worried. After all, he was not familiar with Takla and was not sure whether he could protect Chu Mo. But since Chu Mo had already reached the Tianxiang realm, there would be no problem for him to protect himself.
In this case, he had no objection at all to Chu Mo joining Ye Ning as a guide.
"Then I'll trouble Sister Mo to bear with me."
"Today there happens to be a batch of supplies that need to be transported to the west. You two just need to follow the transport plane. The transport plane will stop in Erla City, which is one of the entrances to Takla and the easiest direction to enter the Takla Desert restricted area."
As Zhao Kai spoke, he took Ye Ning and Chu Mo outside. At this moment, a huge transport plane was loading supplies. Under the leadership of Zhao Kai, Ye Ning and Chu Mo came to the manned passage of the transport plane unimpeded.
"Okay, I won't send you off any longer. Be sure to stay safe and take care of yourselves."
"Okay, thank you for your concern, Chief!"
"You kid." Looking at Ye Ning's cunning look, Zhao Kai shook his head helplessly.
In fact, in his heart he still felt that he owed Ye Ning something.
Many people have no idea of the pressure in that huge amplifier, but he is at the Saint level, and he can clearly feel the pressure that Ye Ning is under.
He was really under a lot of pressure.
In addition to the pressure brought by the amplifier, the pressure he needs to bear during the fusion process of the two worlds is also very great. It is a special sense of oppression that comes from the will of the world.
There is a repulsive force between the worlds, and Ye Ning bears all the repulsive forces in the process of connecting the two worlds.
Ye Ning was under such great pressure at such a young age, but he never showed it.
In Zhao Kai's heart, he is still a little worried about Ye Ning's condition.
Although Ye Ning didn't seem to have changed much from before, he could still feel a special pressure accumulating in his heart.
He really needed to vent.
After all, long-term oppression may lead to unpleasant consequences.
This is also the reason why he agreed to let Ye Ning go out for training, to see a wider world, and then to fight. This would somewhat relieve the pent-up emotions in his heart.
In fact, even if Ye Ning did not ask to go to the Takla Desert to obtain the original card of [Elemental Elf·Sand], Zhao Kai also planned to arrange for Ye Ning to go to the battlefield of all worlds.
One of the best ways to relieve stress is to kill.
The battlefield of all worlds is a place where one can kill at will without affecting one's conscience. It is actually the most suitable place for Ye Ning.
However, it might be a good idea to visit the restricted area before going to the battlefield of all worlds.
After all, the danger level in the battlefield of all worlds is much higher than that in the restricted area of Blue Star.
When Ye Ning and Chu Mo finished boarding the plane, a figure suddenly appeared beside Zhao Kai.
"I'll ask you to take care of these two children."
"Don't worry, they are quite strong, there won't be any big problems even if I'm not watching."
"I understand, but now this little fellow Ye Ning is involved in the world channel. We cannot allow any accidents to happen no matter what."
"clear."
Although Ye Ning said he didn't need a bodyguard, Zhao Kai was still worried.
It's not just because of the Takla Desert, he also needs to guard against the remnants of the [Origin Sect].
