Lin Yuan had heard about the Class 6 dimensional rift and how it could connect to a dimensional world for the first time at the Guard Ye Banquet.
At that time, he had felt that the most suitable dimensional world for humans to venture into was the marsh world.
Class 5 marsh dimensional rifts opened about as frequently as water world dimensional rifts did and were considered rare.
Moreover, marsh dimensional rifts were extremely dangerous, and most of them were filled with decaying mud which made it difficult for humans to move around easily.
Although the marsh could be turned into land with a large amount of earth-type elements, not many people could afford such resources. After all, exploring the marsh dimensional rift was different from expanding a faction into the marsh world, which was a continuous process.
Once all the source-type items in the dimensional hub were removed from the dimensional rift, the marsh dimensional rift would close, and all the resources used would be non-retrievable.
There were also many poisonous marsh beasts and carnivorous plants in the 40% of land that existed in the marsh dimensional rift.
Enormous Marsh Crocodiles lived in the remaining 60% of marsh.
The Marsh Crocodile was the most abundant lifeform in the marsh world, and most of them were Bronze I.
A young Marsh Crocodile was about half a meter long.
Although their mouths were filled with sharp teeth, all the nutrients in their bodies were directed to their scales. Hence, their jaw muscles were weak and could bite through a weak Bronze fey but could not tear through the flesh.
As such, the Class 1 Marsh Crocodile was often discussed along with the Class 1 alien insects.
This topic was greatly debated amongst Scholars.
Scholars used various pieces of evidence to compare the Class 1 Marsh Crocodile with the Class 1 alien insects. Eventually, they concluded that a Class 1 alien insect on its own could not bite through the Class 1 Marsh Crocodile’s scales, but a Class 1 alien insect could snap the Class 1 marsh’s crocodile’s jaws from the inside like a pair of chopsticks.
A Class 1 alien insect could also aim its bite at the Class 1 Marsh Crocodile’s neck, where it did not have any scales.
Hence, Scholars deemed the Class 1 Marsh Crocodiles to be weaker than Class 1 alien insects, resulting in the Class 1 Marsh Crocodile being ridiculed.
But once the Marsh Crocodile reached Class 3, they would advance into the adult stage and grow to two meters long.
Although this was not large, the jaw muscles would have fully developed and changed drastically from when it was young.
Its mouth would be able to bite through a Gold fey’s muscles and even its bones if the fey was slightly weaker.
The adult Class 3 Marsh Crocodile floated on the surface of the pitch-black marsh, ready to pounce on any prey.
Once a Class 3 Marsh Crocodile had its jaws around a target, it would start to thrash about until its prey stopped moving.
Scholars had also compared Class 3 Marsh Crocodiles with Class 3 alien insects.
The alien insects also changed significantly when they reached Class 3.
The Class 3 Marsh Crocodile could use its jaws, deadly thrashes, and hard scales to beat two of three alien insects with no issue.
Although the Class 3 Marsh Crocodile could not beat the Class 3 Horn Demon, it was still considered one of the top Class 3 dimensional lifeforms.
It was possible to find Class 3 Marsh Crocodiles in a Class 1 dimensional rift. Thus, low-rank spirit qi professionals had always struggled with venturing into marsh dimensional rifts while high-rank spirit qi professionals did not like to venture in.
Due to the shape of the land in the Class 1 marsh dimensional rift, it was as difficult to explore it as it was to explore other Class 2 dimensional rifts.
Other Class 2 dimensional rifts also produced higher-grade resources than the Class 1 marsh dimensional rift. Thus, very few people were willing to explore marsh dimensional rifts, and there were very few marsh dimensional rift resources available in the market.
The scales of the Marsh Crocodile were regarded as high-grade leather while their skin was used as half-armor, wallets, and other expensive accessories.
Abyss dimensional rifts and water world dimensional rifts had special resources like strange flames and heavy water. The marsh dimensional rift also had special resources, but it was so difficult to explore that their special resources were much more valuable than strange flames and heavy water.
Strange flames were formed from special fire-type elements, and so was marsh soil.
Marsh soil was made from special earth-type elements that could speed up a plant-type fey’s growth and nourish the surrounding area when buried underground.
It was also an extremely beneficial nurturing ingredient to some earth-type feys.
When Lin Yuan was constructing the Return from Faraway Mansion, Wen Yu had buried some mid-grade marsh soil from Class 3 marsh dimensional rifts in the soil around the mansion.
The mid-grade marsh soil combined with tens of thousands of energy ores enabled the plant-type feys in the Return from Faraway Mansion to grow swiftly.
For example, Normal Fenzi Bamboo and Sieb Bamboo grew in the Return from Faraway Mansion’s 3,000-meter bamboo forest.
In the past year, even without the help of a Creation Master, many of the Fenzi Bamboo and Sieb Bamboo had evolved from Normal to Elite under the influence of just the marsh soil and energy ores.
It was clear that marsh soil was extremely beneficial to plant-type feys.
“If you want to use Klein Hub, you need to find a dimensional rift and enter it to where the dimensional hub is. Klein Hub will consume the dimensional hub, and a dimensional rift will appear in the Spirit Lock spatial zone’s Klein Hub space. But once Klein Hub consumes the dimensional hub, it will be unable to change the type of dimensional hub until it comes into contact with the heart of the first dimensional world.
“Yuan, you have to be careful when deciding to use Klein Hub to consume a dimensional hub,” said Morbius.
Lin Yuan nodded and replied, “I made my choice long ago.. I intend on using Klein Hub to consume the dimensional hub of a marsh dimensional rift and open a marsh dimensional rift in the Spirit Lock spatial zone.”
