Chapter 15: Spirit Valley
Chapter 15: Spirit Valley
Tezuka Village, in front of the Genchu shelter wall.
Qi Sheng stood with his eyes closed, his consciousness traveling through the real online world, looking for suitable recruits.
Without exception, the members of the several player groups he joined all thought he was a liar.
Most people would choose to delete the link he sent and kick him out of the group chat.
Qi Sheng had no desire to explain this, and decisively changed his recruitment targets and adopted a strategy of casting a wide net.
The 50 places were quickly distributed and divided among players from three groups.
At this moment, the guiding water ball suddenly appeared:
[Boss, there is a ruthless person among the players we recruited this time! ]
"How cruel is it?" Qi Sheng turned his head and looked at the guiding water ball unhappily.
[Last time players reported the problem of pain settings, didn’t you adjust the pain to the lowest 10% when players first enter the game? ]
This adjustment was made by Qi Sheng himself, so he naturally would not forget it.
The first batch of players recruited at that time, including Li Zheng, complained in the game that the pain feedback was too realistic, which made him realize that this problem must be solved.
After all, one of the main reasons why players are powerful is fearlessness, and overly realistic pain feedback runs counter to this concept.
After careful consideration, he set the initial pain feedback at 10%.
The reason why it is not 0% is that pain is essentially a feedback of the body's condition. The existence of pain allows players to discover changes in themselves in a timely manner and hone their combat skills during the hunting process, rather than just acting recklessly.
[After checking the game functions, one of the players recruited this time took the initiative to increase the pain feedback to 100%. ]
“That’s indeed a ruthless person.”
Out of curiosity, Qi Sheng's head suddenly turned into a ball of scarlet flames. The flames spread from the top of his head to his whole body, wrapping him in the raging flames.
After switching to the Emperor's Omen form, his sight jumped to the clone of the guide who was following the "ruthless player" mentioned by the guide.
……
The sky seemed to be stained with thick ink, losing its former brightness. Only a strange waning moon remained hanging in the sky, casting mottled light and shadows.
The black wind howled across the earth, causing willow-like ash balls to fly all over the sky.
Click!
With a crisp sound of bone breaking, Li Tie broke the arm of the cursed soldier in front of him, and then decisively activated the petrified form. His body surface was immediately covered with a layer of pitch-black substance, and he withstood the attacks from the other two cursed soldiers from both sides.
Along the way, Li Tie was extremely satisfied with the realism of this game.
The successive battles also made him realize the correct way to use the gargoyle's "petrification" ability.
He discovered that there was no so-called skill cooldown limit in the game, and the petrification skill could be used at any time.
The guide explains that there are two types of energy bars in the game, namely health and mental strength.
The use of active skills requires the consumption of one of these energies.
For example, the gargoyle's petrification ability consumes health points each time it is used, while the eagle-headed demon's wail and the bonefire's ink flame abilities consume mental energy when used.
Without skill cooldown restrictions, the right timing for releasing skills is particularly important.
The cursed soldiers became the object of Li Tie's training techniques.
Petrify, remove, counterattack... Whenever the cursed soldiers attacked, Li Tie would enter the petrified state to withstand the damage, and retract the petrification to counterattack in the intervals between the cursed soldiers' attacks. He soon became familiar with the rhythm of using the petrification ability.
After several rounds of attacks, the three cursed soldiers blocking his way were broken into pieces by his heavy punches.
After absorbing the energy condensed after the death of the cursed soldiers, he successfully reached level 4 and clearly felt that his physical fitness had improved significantly again.
Picking up the broken warhammer left by the cursed soldier on the ground, Li Tie continued to walk eastward
Half an hour later.
After crossing a hillside, what appeared in Li Tie's eyes was a valley. The ground was covered with a thick layer of black ash, and the smell of scorched earth in the air became pungent.
What surprised him was that there were several weapons floating in the air in front of the valley, wandering around as if they had life.
Going down the slope, a paragraph of text floated before his eyes when he entered the valley. [Challenger Tip: Discover the domain node scene "Qi Ling Valley".]
Along with the prompt, a map popped up automatically, the fog at his location dissipated, and three golden words "Qi Ling Valley" appeared.
After walking forward for a while, his eyes were focused on a battle axe in front of him with red energy flowing on its surface.
[Liman (the first generation)]:
Hunting Level: 10
Guide analysis: A special monster that controls the original power, evolved from part of the killing power of Emperor Omen, has primitive intelligence, and is eager to fight and kill.
Turning his gaze to the blue sword floating next to the battle axe, the analysis information appeared again:
【Broken (First Generation)】
Hunting Level: 10
Guide analysis: A special monster that controls the original power, evolved from part of the killing power of Emperor Omen, born with rudimentary intelligence, eager to fight and kill.
……
After checking the properties of the floating weapons in front of him one after another, Li Tie was surprised to find that these weapons were actually the extremely precious first-generation origins mentioned by the guide.
Although their hunting level reached level 10, Li Tie did not retreat, but took the initiative to walk towards the Qi Ling Valley.
The floating spirits reacted at this time and rushed towards him, surrounded him and then hovered.
Li Tie thought he would be besieged, but he found that these spirit weapons did not do so.
The leading red battle axe trembled slightly as it floated in front of him, and immediately the other four weapon spirits surrounding Li Tie retreated, leaving a clearing.
"Guidance, what does this mean?"
[My analysis is that it is challenging you and wants to have a 1v1 real man clash with you. ]
"interesting!"
At this time, Li Tie clenched the broken hammer in his hand, took a step forward, and swung the hammer hard at the battle axe.
After the sound of metal clashing, sparks flew, the hammer in Li Tie's hand shattered, metal fragments flew everywhere, but there was no damage on the surface of the weapon spirit battle axe.
boom!
The battle axe's attack also began at this time. A violent red airflow hit his face. The battle axe was raised high and chopped down heavily on Li Tie's head.
Click!
The half of the warhammer that Li Tie raised was shattered in an instant, leaving only the handle, and the battle axe continued to fall without slowing down.
Petrochemical!
Li Tie moved his body to the right and decisively activated his petrification ability.
Ding!
He leaned sideways and used his shoulder to block the axe's blow. The domineering energy seeped into his body. The severe pain made Li Tie's face reveal a hideous smile, and his eyes could not hide the excitement.
The pain instead aroused the cruelty in his heart.
He let go of the warhammer, which was left with only a broken handle, and after the petrification ability was removed, he smashed the battle axe hard with his fist.
But what Li Tie didn't expect was that the other four weapons that were watching the battle suddenly shot out and pierced his body in an instant.
[Challenger Tip: When a player dies, 10 points of sacrifice power will be deducted and a one-hour resurrection cooldown will begin! ]
A prompt message appeared, and the scene in front of Li Tie changed into gray and white.
……
An hour later, Li Tie appeared at the resurrection point in Dizhong Village.
"Guide, didn't we agree on a one-on-one duel? Why did the other weapon spirits suddenly attack me?"
In response to the question, the guide gave an analysis after a brief silence:
[The situation at that time was that you dropped the Crushing Hammer in your hand, and then you were attacked by the other weapon spirits, so the duel will most likely need to be conducted with you holding a weapon. If you drop the weapon, you will no longer be the target of the weapon spirit's challenge.]
"I see."
After understanding the reason, Li Tie had the idea of going to Qi Ling Valley to fight again.
But the weapons on the ancient battlefield were all very broken and could not withstand the attack of the weapon spirits. He now needed a high-quality weapon.
