Chapter 22: Origin: Taunting
Chapter 22: Origin: Taunting
The consciousness bypassed the golden crystal and followed the guidance, sweeping through every corner of the fifth level of the dark cave.
In addition to Bingren's body and the black-armored soldiers who died with him in battle, Qi Sheng also found a deep tomb in the corner of the hall, which contained a large number of corpses.
[The owners of these corpses should be members of Bingren's tribe. After hiding underground, they were eventually buried underground due to a lack of food and other resources.]
"What about the Crypt Clan? What are their origins?"
[It should be the underground life controlled by the Ice Blade tribe through some means. They can survive by devouring ore, so there is no need to worry about food shortages. After the Ice Blade tribe died, they still followed the commands implanted in their minds when they were controlled, commanding the iron shell worms to dig up the underground spiritual ore and put it into the smelting furnace to continue charging the golden crystal.]
Qi Sheng thought the analysis in the guidelines was very reasonable.
His consciousness swept to the back of the hall, where a fist-sized light blue crystal was suspended, its surface covered with pitch-black mycelium, and next to it was a ball of flesh beating like a heart.
“Is this a domain node?”
[Yes, you can think of it as a core puzzle piece of the monster world. It is the countless core puzzle pieces that make up the main framework of the monster world.]
While giving instructions and explanations, the analyzed information was fed back into Qi Sheng's mind.
[Field Node: Dark Cave]
Territory Type: Resources
Territory Characteristics: Spiritual Proliferation
Feature introduction: Continuously enlighten spiritual mineral resources.
Domain Status: Black Tide Energy Corrosion (Not Occupied)
……
After reading the analysis information, Qi Sheng turned his gaze to the black ball of flesh beating next to the crystal.
This is the core of corruption.
If you want to seize this domain node, you must purify the node crystal and completely eliminate the roots of corrosion.
But it's not easy to do this.
Just now, the guide analyzed and checked the black-armored soldiers standing inside and outside the palace, and found that the remains of these dead warriors had been corroded and eroded, turning into evil creatures similar to cursed soldiers.
And the hunting level of cursed soldiers here generally reaches 25+.
Fortunately, the remains of Ice Blade were not controlled by the corrosive power of the Black Tide.
To be more precise, the remains of Ice Blade have been exhausted in the battle, leaving only an empty shell, and the corrosive power of the Black Tide cannot move the empty shell.
Even if it is thrown into the altar for refining, no sacrificial power can be extracted.
If it is the Ice Blade in its prime, its hunting level may be above 500, and it has the power to move mountains and seas, and players are simply unable to compete.
……
After investigating the information on the fifth underground layer of the dark cave, Qi Sheng’s consciousness followed the guidance and returned to Dizhong Village.
As for the energy crystal that Bing Ren left for the new Emperor, he had no intention of going out to get it.
It’s not that I don’t want to, but I don’t have the start-up capital.
He and the player have two exploration modes when leaving the Emperor's Tomb Village. Players can play for free + use in-app purchase modes such as the mall, star veins, and body building.
And when he goes out, he has to start the point-burning card mode.
When the four great servants injected their remaining sacrificial power into the Emperor's Tomb Village, the available sacrificial power reached more than 8000 million, which was enough to support him in concealing his breath and exploring outside as the Emperor without fear of being discovered by evil spirits.
It was also at that time that he took in the harpy, the black-armored snake, and the gargoyle.
But now the sacrificial power in my hand is only in the five digits. The sacrificial power needed to cover up the Emperor's omen and consolidate my original aura is calculated on a per-second basis. More than 1000 sacrificial power will be consumed per second, and the stock cannot withstand the consumption.
The task of occupying territory nodes can only be given to players.
Although this investigation did not yield any substantial results, Qi Sheng already had expectations.
The energy storage crystals left by the ice blade can extract at least tens of millions of points of sacrificial power, which is enough to recruit 10,000 players and greatly speed up the development speed in the early stage.
Qi Sheng, who was sitting cross-legged on the altar, closed his eyes at this time, switched to the Emperor's Omen form, and his vision jumped to the player's perspective. …
Dark cave.
After another round of fierce fighting, players began to clean up the battlefield.
They picked up the spoils on the ground, then called out the sacrifice mode in the functional interface, throwing all the shells into the altar to refine them into sacrificial power.
After these days of fighting, players have become familiar with the Iron Beetle's fighting rhythm.
There are two ways for the ironworm to attack. The first is to spin silk to wrap around the target, then drag it in front of itself and tear it apart with its sickle-shaped mandibles.
The interval between silk spinning is the best time to launch an attack.
After more battles, players who are familiar with the rhythm can already dodge and spit silk flexibly.
The only thing that gives players a headache is that the terrain inside the cave is narrow. When encountering a tide of iron-shell insects, skills can only improve combat effectiveness to a limited extent, and the only way to win is to charge fiercely.
The end of each battle is the happiest time for players to gain rewards.
The increase in physical fitness brought by leveling up, the gain in sacrificial power from sacrificing spoils of war, the joy of victory after unity and cooperation...these are all part of happiness.
After clearing the battlefield, the remaining players continued to explore down along the cave tunnel and entered the second underground space.
The space on the second floor is relatively spacious, and you can see a lot of rock walls that have been mined and hollowed out.
The amazing thing is that the rock wall is covered with a layer of light green crystals. After focusing the eyes, the analytical information emerges:
[Gathering Spirits: Gathering the energy of heaven and earth, continuously nurturing the spirit mine... 】
Realizing that the spiritual ore in this cave is a renewable resource, the player did not have much emotional fluctuation and continued to follow the team to explore the cave.
After killing several iron bugs along the way, they stopped in front of an obviously carved-out cave.
A dull roar could be clearly heard coming from the cave.
Li Zheng from the Liver Emperor Group took the lead and threw the torch in his hand into the cave.
The torch drew a trajectory in the air and landed in the cave, tumbling several times and illuminating the interior.
I saw eight chains nailed to the rock wall at the end of the cave, with a huge monster imprisoned at the end.
It is shaped like a beetle, with layers of white scales covering its surface. Intricate patterns on it make it look like a ghost face at first glance. Its pair of huge pincers are constantly dancing, and its exposed red eyes are like two burning lanterns in the dim environment.
This monster has been imprisoned for who knows how many years, but it is still alive.
【Taunt (Second Generation Origin)】
Hunting Level: 29
Guide analysis: A special monster that controls the original power of "taunting". It has the ability to weave mental illusions, causing the targets within the coverage area to fall into an extremely crazy state and attack the taunt uncontrollably.
Tip: When hit by the taunt ability, the target will undergo a large amount of memory adaptation plot based on its own memory in a short period of time. The caster (taunt) will become a part of the adapted memory and become a target of hatred.
……
After reading the monster's analysis information, the most excited player at the scene was the player who chose the Gargoyle.
Marble: Hahaha, it’s the perfect option for the Gargoyle’s second soul. It can taunt and attract aggro, then activate the petrification ability to resist damage. It’s even more perfect than the Harpy + Bonefire style. I already have a feeling that the Gargoyle is going to rise.
Is this Beaver: The spring of Gargoyle players has arrived so suddenly, with taunt + petrification, the strongest defense style of the version is released.
Class monitor: Although the petrification skill can greatly increase the ability to withstand damage in a short period of time, its disadvantage is also fatal. You cannot move after it is activated. Now with the addition of a taunt skill, you are simply invincible. If you add the ability to withstand damage and rebound damage, this style is so cool just thinking about it.
There was a heated discussion about the ability characteristics of "Taunt" in the regional voice channel.
Both the eagle-headed demon and the black-armored snake already have a suitable second soul option at this stage, except for the gargoyle.
The second-generation original monsters imprisoned in the cave gave this group of gargoyle players hope for rise.
"kill!"
Someone shouted, and immediately the players rushed over to taunt.
