For now, the Twilight Forest can be left idle. We'll do a third round of clearing the monsters here.
By then, we can bring in the Qianyan Army; the stronger monsters will help hone their combat skills and teamwork.
As we keep advancing through the map, we can also gather more materials and treasures.
Finally, after killing the Snow Queen, there won't be any particularly dangerous threats on the ground.
Later, we won't need to slay the giants in the sky; we can freely deploy troops to develop this dimensional world.
Compared to the Nether and the End, the resources here should be richer and more abundant, yielding greater rewards.
Ningguang, what do you think?"
Ningguang pondered for a moment and nodded.
"Indeed. No matter what, the treasures in the Twilight Forest—even if only staves—are worth our full attention.
If a master-level staff appears, wouldn't that be even better?"
Seeing Ningguang and the others start arranging the Twilight Forest and preparing to deploy the army, the Cryo Archon's joy from the group battle against the Snow Queen immediately faded.
A strange melancholy settled over her.
At this point… she still couldn't find enough manpower!
Damn fool!
The Cryo Archon seethed with frustration.
"Since you've decided on that…"
Ryen rubbed his nose and said softly,
"To reach the Cloud Cottage, we still need to go to one more place.
That place is the ultimate end, the most dangerous region of the Twilight Forest.
Although it doesn't have boss-level monsters like the Snow Queen, nearly every other type of monster group is present, and they're all powerful.
But correspondingly, the resources there are even richer.
Minerals, materials, mechanisms, treasures… one could say that place holds half of all the Twilight Forest's valuable resources.
And the tool we need to reach the Cloud Cottage—the Magic Bean—is in a chest inside a cave there.
That place is called the Final Plateau…"
Ryen's expression grew slightly solemn.
The Final Plateau has no bosses. The reason?
Some pigeon has just never made one.
Of course, Ryen couldn't guarantee this; once the world becomes fully real, what if a ruler appears there?
Even without a boss, the Final Plateau is still the most dangerous region.
Rogue monster groups run rampant.
Various mechanisms emerge endlessly; one wrong move and you could be trapped to death.
Especially…
The Cube of Annihilation was also there.
If it got triggered, this world would likely be finished.
That unreasonable thing could even destroy bedrock.
But the Final Plateau was a place they had to go.
At worst…
They'd just grab the Magic Bean from the cave troll and leave!
"The Final Plateau…"
Lisa murmured the words softly, then after a moment, smiled lightly.
"Sounds like a very dangerous place. But the more dangerous it is, the greater the rewards.
Worth visiting—but not right now."
She shook her head.
"If I'm not mistaken, the little cutie is already getting impatient. We should go back first."
Ryen nodded with a smile.
"That's exactly what I was thinking. I also want to see who Lumine has brought back."
No sooner had he spoken than Liuyun arrived with Klee and Nahida.
Ryen's mind shifted as he looked at the chest in front of him. He decided to give this chest a little buff.
"Ganyu, you hold Klee while opening the chest!"
The group froze for a moment, then burst into applause and cheers when they realized what he meant.
Top-tier lucky Ganyu, plus top-tier lucky Klee.
The luck buffs stacked to the max.
Even if there was nothing particularly great inside, like an Arcane Workbench, there would surely be no shortage of spell scrolls.
Ganyu nodded slightly, gently picked up Klee, and opened the chest.
Honestly, she still felt that everyone placed far too high hopes on her luck.
But…
Since Ryen trusted it, she said nothing further.
The chest opened quite ordinarily, yet for some reason, Ryen felt it was radiating golden light!
And Ganyu's reaction confirmed that what came out of this chest was indeed extraordinary.
Standing there silently, Hu Tao couldn't contain her curiosity any longer. She stepped forward to take a look.
Immediately, she froze. After a moment, her eyes lit up with delight, and she jumped into Ryen's arms.
"Ryen! Ryen!"
"It… it's here!"
Ryen was momentarily stunned and glanced at Hu Tao's stomach in surprise.
"So soon? No worries, if it's here, just bring it out—we've got the means to raise it."
Hu Tao, embarrassed and a little annoyed, tapped Ryen lightly and said seriously:
"I mean! The Arcane Workbench! It's here!"
