Chapter 11 Dark Cave
Chapter 11 Dark Cave
Tezuka Village.
A scarlet light flashed, and Qi Sheng appeared in front of the underground crystal wall containment wall.
Looking at the Bone Fire Soul imprisoned in the fourth holding cell, relevant information automatically emerged in his mind:
[Ink Flame]:
Effect of the original ability: Consume mental power to release the death flame that can be controlled by consciousness, causing continuous burning damage to the target (the specific damage is affected by the strength of one's own mental power)
Output of sacrifice power: 10/hour.
……
Raising his right hand, a ball of inky flame appeared in the palm of Qi Sheng's hand.
After taking in the Bone Fire, the lost power of the Emperor's Omen recovered the fourth piece of the puzzle, his strength increased, and he gained the ability to control the Ink Flame.
Another good news is that players have discovered a lost domain node.
If he could take back this territory, the area of Tezuka Village would be expanded, and he would also be able to gain a new territory ability.
At this moment, the latest feedback information emerged in Qi Sheng's mind:
[Hint: Obtain the offering "Konggu Grass", obtain 155.7 points of sacrifice power, extract 30% of the sacrifice power income, and pay 109 points of sacrifice power to the challenger. ]
"good."
As soon as he finished speaking, scarlet flames spread from his brows to his entire body.
After switching to Emperor's Omen form, his sight pierced through the space barrier and looked at the group of players who were exploring the cave.
……
Dark cave.
Entering from the narrow entrance, you will find a different world inside.
The further you go down, the larger the space becomes, and there are multiple forks in the road ahead.
During the exploration, the children's group players accidentally discovered a rock wall inlaid with a large number of crystals that were flickering with purple light.
After focusing their eyes, the analytical information of guidance and feedback emerged in their minds:
【Name: Energy Stone】:
Spirit ore level: 1
Introduction: Low-level spiritual ore containing rich essence energy, which can be used for sacrifice, weapon vehicle creation, and other consumable uses.
Black Ball: Hahaha, this is a great place. I found spiritual resources again.
Cute kid: Let’s get started, it’s time to dig for resources.
Zuina: The question is how do we mine?
……
As they were preparing to work on the rock wall inlaid with crystals, they encountered a problem.
The rock wall is hard, and it is not easy to dig out the energy stone. There are no tools at hand.
[There are mining equipment in the mall section of the function panel, which can be purchased by consuming sacrifice power. ]
After listening to the instructions, the players in the kindergarten group called up the function panel one after another. After entering "mining equipment" in the search bar of the mall page, three items appeared on the page.
[Mining Pickaxe (Durability 100)], [Crystal Breaker Pickaxe (Durability: 2000)], [Gravity Pickaxe (Infinite)].
The prices of these three items are 1 point of sacrifice power, 100 points of sacrifice power, and 1000 points of sacrifice power respectively.
Along the way, they killed many cursed soldiers, but each cursed soldier could only provide 3-6 points of sacrifice power. They could not afford the second-tier pickaxe and could only choose the most common 1-point sacrifice power pickaxe.
After the purchase is successful, a pitch-black pickaxe automatically appears in the compartment of their space bag.
Just as the players were getting ready to start working, they saw Tiechui, who was walking in the front, taking out a unique pickaxe from his space bag.
The pickaxe was crystal blue all over, and after it was taken out, it looked like a star falling into the mortal world. The faint blue light was dazzling in the weak light in the mine, and crystal dots could be seen flowing along every line on the surface.
The head of the pickaxe was carved into the shape of a sharp eagle's beak. He gripped the hammer tightly and tried to swing it, leaving a trail of light.
Realizing that Tiechui used the 109 points of sacrifice power obtained from the sacrifice just now to buy a second-tier pickaxe, everyone gave him the middle finger.
Hammer: As usual, although I bought a second-tier pickaxe, the crystals we dig out will be counted and divided equally among everyone. I will not enjoy the profits alone.
After hearing this, the other players nodded in satisfaction.
Then the group began to work on the crystal wall. As they hammered and banged, they soon realized something was wrong. Black Ball: Damn, this pickaxe hitting the crystal wall hurts my palms. The feedback is too real.
Marbles: It’s good enough to have resources. Don’t complain, just work hard. This is the early stages of the game. Try to obtain as many resources as possible to improve your strength, which will be of great help to our future development.
Zuina: You guys are so stupid. Your original form has no attribute enhancements. It’s easy to dig by switching to monster form.
As he spoke, Zuina switched to the form of a black-armored snake on the spot, picked up the pickaxe and swung his head against the rock wall.
After a series of loud bangs, Zui Nai suddenly stopped, slowly turned his head to look at his stunned brothers, opened his mouth and spit out the pickaxe in his mouth, and said with an aggrieved expression:
"Dizzy and want to vomit."
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter and mocked the drunk lady's stupid behavior.
But when everyone looked at Tiechui, they could no longer laugh.
I saw the "Crystal Breaking Pickaxe" in Tiechui's hand easily chiseled into the rock wall like cutting tofu, and a piece of ore could be hooked out in just a few strokes. Now there were two more energy stones at his feet.
Seeing everyone stop, Tiechui stopped moving, turned his head to look at everyone, and a shy smile appeared on his face:
"Are you guys shaking your hands? I think it's OK."
What was greeted was everyone's unanimous middle finger response.
After the episode, they continued working. During this period, the children's group members tested the benefits of sacrificing energy stones and found that each energy stone could produce 5-15 points of sacrificial power benefits.
Compared to killing cursed soldiers, mining energy stones does not provide any evolution points (experience points), but the benefits of sacrificial power are obviously higher.
Just as they were working hard against the crystal wall, a dull sound suddenly came from the darkness.
Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked into the darkness.
"Marbles, open your perception."
"it is good!"
The marble in the team that chose the eagle-headed monster form immediately activated the eagle-headed monster's mournful chant ability.
This ability was like an instinct imprinted in the mind. It did not require any proficiency and the process of using it was as easy as breathing.
Opening its mouth, the marble made a melodious sound, which turned into waves of sound that radiated towards the surroundings.
The scene within dozens of meters nearby appeared in his mind as a fluctuating picture, and at this time he could clearly see the figure in the darkness.
This is a creature shaped like a snail, with its body covered with a layer of white shell. The ends of the tentacles extending from the shell flash with faint blue light, like phosphorescence floating in the deep sea.
【Iron Shell Bug】
Hunting Level: 8
Target introduction: A low-level monster that lives underground. It has a hard shell and extremely flexible tentacles and feeds on spiritual ores underground.
……
After sharing the information in their minds to the team channel, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The sudden noise in the dim environment really scared them, but when they found out it was just a hunting level 8 monster, they calmed down and turned around to switch to monster form, killing the monster first before continuing mining.
"Something's wrong, there are more iron bugs behind!"
From Marble's perspective, more and more ironworms appear in the picture.
At this moment, the iron bugs scattered to both sides, and a two-meter-tall black figure walked out of the darkness, exposed in the torchlight.
This figure has a humanoid body, with muscular lines as clear as sculptures, gray-blue skin, arms covered with fine scales, and sharp claws between the fingers.
【Crypt Clan】:
Hunting Level: 19
Target introduction: A racial force that lives in the underground space. They are good at manipulating underground creatures to fight. They have level 2 intelligence, are controlled by some force, and have lost their independent consciousness.
……
The Cryptid creatures looked up at them, and when their eyes met the players', their pupils suddenly shrank into vertical ones.
All of a sudden, all the iron-shelled insects raised their bodies, dancing their tentacles and shooting towards the players.
"Let's do it!"
The members of the children's group also switched to monster form at this time and pounced on the underground creatures without hesitation.
As players, the word "coward" does not exist in their dictionary.
