Chapter 24: The Power of Sacrifice Soars
Chapter 24: The Power of Sacrifice Soars
After 3 hours.
Inside the cave, flames were blazing.
The taunting roars continued, and most players had run out of energy and could no longer maintain their output.
Just when the players were about to give up in frustration, the mocking roars in the cave gradually became lower and lower, and finally died out completely.
Although they didn't dare to get close, the players were looking forward to it.
More than ten minutes later, a reminder sounded in the minds of all players participating in the battle:
[Challenger Tips: Kill the second-generation original monster "Taunt", and the participants will share the 2 sacrifice power reward and obtain the right to open the next star vein inlay slot for free (only for 0-3 level star veins.]
This sound is so pleasant to the players.
They all called up the Star Vein Enhancement Panel in the function options to check the newly received Origin Souls.
【Taunt (Second Generation Origin)】
Monster characteristics: Releases mental shock waves centered on itself. The target hit will undergo a large amount of memory adaptation in a short period of time based on its own memory. The caster will become a part of the adapted memory (only effective for intelligent life above level 1).
Guidance Tips: After releasing the ability, you cannot imagine what role you play in the target's memory illusion. It may be the enemy who killed his father, or it may be the neighbor next door, but it doesn't matter... Watch carefully, he is already rushing towards you with red eyes, quickly block it!
Purchase cost: 3000 sacrifice power.
Compared with the first-generation Origin Soul, the purchase price of the second-generation Origin Soul has tripled, reaching 3000 points of sacrifice power.
There is also an extra line of guidance tips in the introduction information.
Although expensive, Taunt Soul is already the must-have second soul in the eyes of Gargoyle players.
The combination of petrification + taunt can be expected to be very powerful in actual combat.
……
Under the ground of Tezuka Village.
From the players' post-war communication, Qi Sheng collected two important pieces of information.
When players talked about the characteristics of taunting monsters, they couldn't help but complain that there was no star vein inlay experience function in the game, which could allow them to test their ability combinations.
In Qi Sheng's opinion, this idea is completely feasible.
He can use Yan Ming's spatial ability to create a simulated scene, allowing players to edit their own star veins at will in the simulated scene, and then use the edited abilities to simulate the combat experience.
As the number of original monsters contained increases in the future, the simulated star vein function can significantly improve players' development, combination and application of monster ability characteristics.
The second important information is that players feel that the game needs to have a forum-like function to facilitate communication and even mutual assistance in strategy.
Qi Sheng felt that it was very necessary to add this function.
Compared to the chat modes of regions, teams, and other channels, strategy exchanges cannot be saved.
However, the forum can archive the guides and other content posted by players, making it convenient for later players to access, which will be of great help to future development.
But before adding these two features, he needed to prepare in advance.
With the idea in mind, Qi Sheng immediately gave instructions to create a built-in forum function for the game, and then contacted Yan Ming to explain in detail the need to create a simulation space.
While Yan Ming was busy, Qi Sheng, who was sitting cross-legged on the altar, began to think about a question.
How to take out the energy crystals from the underground palace in the dark cave in advance.
His real body certainly cannot go there, after all, every second that his real body is outside is a huge consumption.
Just now when he was talking with Yan Ming about the test space and mentioned the need to create a customizable simulated body for players, he suddenly had an inspiration.
There was no way back then, but now he has the Challenger System that combines the power of the four servant rules, and can completely control the player's body to go out and explore.
As for creating a clone for yourself, it is not feasible.
After integrating with Emperor Zhao's solid self-source, his consciousness can be projected outward but cannot be cut, separated, or even copied.
With an idea in mind, Qi Sheng took action immediately. He closed his eyes, and the Challenger System emerged in Qi Sheng's mind.
He selected the flesh and blood body of a player among those who were entering death cooldown, and consumed sacrificial power to speed up the reconstruction process.
The so-called flesh and blood remodeling is mainly divided into three parts.
First, the All-Things Extraction Function created by the Servant Super Dimension is used to refine all the substances of the dead players, and then the space system created by Yan Mingsong is used to take them back to the Dizhong Village. Through the territorial characteristics of the Dizhong Village, it is reshaped 1:1, and then guided to be re-implanted into the data system. Finally, the power of space will teleport the reshaped flesh and blood body from underground to the resurrection point on the surface of the Dizhong Village.
The whole process is like an assembly line. Only 10 points of sacrificial power are needed to drive the reshaping process, and there is no additional energy loss during the process.
Even if the player's monster form reaches level 100, the price of Flesh Reshaping will not change.
When he opened his eyes again, his consciousness had switched to the body of the chosen player.
But this is not the perfect control after the fusion of consciousness, it is more like remote control of a puppet.
At this time, the main body called Yan Ming who was in the underground space and explained the coordinates of the transmission location.
Suddenly, a space teleportation formation appeared under the player's feet, and the surrounding space twisted and changed. After a brief feeling of weightlessness, he had arrived at a palace on the fifth floor underground in the dark cave.
The remains of Bingren stood in front of him.
Walking around the remains of the ice blade, Qi Sheng came to the spirit gathering formation, squatted down, and touched the golden crystal with his palm.
Suddenly, the surging energy was continuously transmitted to the sacrificial power pool under the Emperor's Tomb Village through the player's body.
The sky above the sacrificial power pool, which had originally been dry, seemed to have opened its gates to release a flood. The surging golden energy rushed down, was purified in the air, and turned into scarlet energy, which blended with other sacrificial power energies.
There is a certain amount of energy loss in the conversion process.
The reason is related to the special nature of sacrificial power.
The energy crystal left by the ice blade is very pure, but it is far from the purity of sacrificial power that can transform all things. It needs to be purified and refined before it can be transformed into sacrificial power.
The purification formation left by Jiuyin was running at high speed at this moment.
After 1 minute, the golden crystal was evacuated and turned transparent.
Qi Sheng also received feedback from the guidance:
[Sacrificial Power Pool]:
Storage power: 13333842.
……
Absorbing the energy crystal brought him more than 1300 million points of sacrifice power.
The influx of this wealth means that the process of recruiting players can be significantly accelerated.
Standing up, Qi Sheng walked towards the back of the palace.
Crossing the bone burial ground, the ground is covered with a layer of moss that looks like flesh and blood. In front is the area where the domain node crystal is suspended. A huge tumor can be seen, with black tentacles extending out to wrap around the domain node crystal.
At this moment, the tumor condensed from the black tide's corrosive energy seemed to sense his presence, and a black tentacle shot towards him at an extremely fast speed.
With the physical fitness of the player's clone, there was no time at all. Qi Sheng was immediately hit in the chest by the tentacle, his body flew backwards, and was finally nailed to the load-bearing pillar of the palace.
The tentacles then quickly spread from the player's chest to other parts of the body.
After a strong feeling of nausea and dizziness, the player's body was corrupted and dissolved, and Qi Sheng's consciousness was guided back to his body by the Challenger System.
[The player body you control is only level 8 in strength. Obviously, the task of occupying the domain node cannot be accomplished through this clone.]
Hearing this, Qi Sheng nodded.
The Black Tide Core that has occupied the domain node crystal obviously has self-awareness and will attack nearby life. The task of purifying the node can only be completed by other players working together.
He was already satisfied that he could bring back 1300 million sacrificial power from this trip.
