Chapter 80 Give it a try! No more confusion!
Xiao En no longer cares about pollution.
"Let's talk about it after we survive!"
After killing the weird lizardman with a headshot at close range, Sean collected the spoils and began to evacuate quickly. He had to find a safe place first. The wizard path is different from other extraordinary paths. Sean needs a safe area to rest and recover magic. The warrior path can kill people as long as he has the strength, but the wizard meditation recovery takes at least several hours. If it is a different world outside the weird kingdom, the caster needs at least eight hours of meditation to fully recover.
Xiao En quickly found the back of a bare hillside. There were no plants nearby, only a pile of rocks. There was no warning for inspiration, so it should be safe for the time being.
He quickly set up the ritual, extracting the extraordinary relics condensed by the monster, and a new spell was understood by the mysterious knowledge.
"Enhanced dark vision, lasting one hour per level of spellcasting."
"That means a spell can be effective for five hours at a time."
It’s not dark yet, so there’s no need to increase your super vision ability for now. Once it gets dark at night, this ability will be very important.
Xiao En hid behind a rock to recover his strength. He was suddenly thrown into such a dangerous place. It would be a lie to say that he was not nervous. After getting used to the order and stability of the real world, he suddenly came to a weird country and felt that there were lurking enemies everywhere.
"The monster just now should be a deformed lizardman. After the Old Ones distorted the laws of the world, all races were polluted and civilization was destroyed. The surviving creatures either died or passively accepted assimilation by the Old Ones' bloodline."
"The source of all these changes in flesh and blood is the black goat that gave birth to all things."
Sean took out the spoils he found on the monster. He was a wizard and could rely on mystical knowledge for identification. As his accumulated mystical knowledge increased, he no longer needed to consume 1 level of identification skills. He could get the general information by simply touching the knowledge in his brain.
——"Swamp Amulet [Strange Item]: The person who holds this strange amulet can be protected from environmental damage, will not get sick from cold or heat, can slightly enhance resistance to poison, and can additionally enhance survivability in swamp terrain."
[The ancient common language is engraved on it, praising the Lord of the Swamp - Mundor.] Knowledge whispered.
It looks like the deformed creatures in the weird kingdom are not having a good time either.
This amulet was made from the skull of some creature and was engraved with prayers praising the old days. It was a simple, low-level artifact that served to enhance its ability to adapt to the environment.
Xiao En took it with him without saying a word, without even considering whether it might cause any mental pollution.
"As long as a person is not crazy, there is no pollution!"
After wearing this amulet, Sean immediately felt that his body was much more comfortable. The air with a rotten smell was not so difficult to adapt to, and the temperature changes were not as uncomfortable as at the beginning. It allowed Sean to adapt to the temperature difference between minus 30 to 40 degrees Celsius and 50 to 60 degrees Celsius.
Even if the temperature drops drastically at night, it will not affect Sean's physical condition. The temperature difference in the weird country is always large, and extreme weather is very common.
It can be seen from the fact that all the deformed creatures have to carry strange amulets with them that the natural environment here has become extremely harsh.
"No need to worry about hypothermia."
Xiao En quickly took out the second trophy, which was a bone mark that looked like a weird fang carving. Knowledge became slightly restless when it touched it.
——"Swamp Hunter's Fang [Magic Item]: When activated, the holder can temporarily become immune to poison. Any toxins in the body will be suppressed when the magic item is activated, and the toxicity will not further erupt."
"It can be used to detect whether an object is poisonous." Knowledge said cautiously.
All of them are unique items used to enhance survivability.
Strange creatures also live cautiously.
Xiao En's other trophies were ordinary bone organs, which seemed to be ritual props used for sacrifice. The enemy's bow was an ordinary short bow, but the material it was made of was very unusual, a very tough black ebony, and the bowstring was the tendon of some monster. The arrow was an ordinary bone arrowhead, but it was poisoned and could paralyze the enemy the moment it hit.
Xiao En killed one enemy and got two rare items and an extraordinary relic.
The gain is greater than eliminating a out-of-control person in the real world!
Xiao En picked up the shortbow and tried it. He had no special training in archery, so his hit rate was very low. He could only rely on Zen archery to make up for it, but these poisoned arrows were very useful, and he put them all into the Ring of the Witch King.
This legendary item should be Amon's investment in him.
Sean still remembers the words of Seal No. 1. Now it seems that the Seal No. 1 they left behind is more inclined towards themselves. Amon cannot be fully trusted either. He urgently hopes that Sean can improve his strength, and he probably also covets the inheritance.
Seal No. 1 said that Sean must seize the opportunity to break free from fate, and it was obvious that Amon's intervention was his chance to break free from the shackles of fate.
Only by leaving the real world can one escape the control of the demigods of death.
"Amon threw me here but didn't allow me to advance further. Does he want me to make up for the abilities I lack at my current level by myself?"
Although Xiao En completely digested the first stage of the extraordinary relics, his current strength has not reached its upper limit. First of all, he only knows very few spells, and secondly, he does not have any super-magic abilities, and his own combat expertise has not yet been fully formed.
This means that Xiao En has not even laid a solid foundation, but is already preparing to break through.
That's why Aamon said that Sean was almost wasted. As a foreigner, he had no idea about the promotion system of the Weird Kingdom. The only things he could learn were those taught to him by Ms. Hecate. But Ms. Hecate was too busy, and it was already the limit for her to find time to teach Sean.
The promotion path arranged for Xiao En was the promotion method for a lich.
The fire thief.
They were the first group of people to fuse extraordinary relics, and they were also the ones who summarized the systems that appeared in all extraordinary people. They were the group of people who "Shennong tasted hundreds of herbs" back then. They first determined which extraordinary relics could be fused for advancement, and then recorded them down and passed them on to mankind.
Most of the fire thieves back then died, and Amon was the only survivor.
The Dark Ages was the monster advancement system he organized.
Amon came to the weird kingdom and was reincarnated as a human, and then transformed into a demon race, so he usually appears in the form of a human.
Although Amon is not a demigod of the wizard path, as the fire thief who opened the monster path, he is definitely qualified to guide Sean on the path to advancement. In this regard, he is even more professional than Ms. Hecate.
"Lady Hecate and the others arranged for me to advance in the Path of Death, but looking at Amon's plan, he would like me to advance in the field of knowledge."
Aamon said that Sean could not advance to digest the second stage of the extraordinary relics, but he did not say that he could not access the first extraordinary realm.
Death or knowledge.
These are the only two sequences that Xiao En can choose at present, because only by advancing to the Destiny can the distorted law sequence be transformed into a normal extraordinary realm, so no matter which one Xiao En chooses, he will have to bear the corresponding price.
To master death you must first embrace death.
To desire knowledge one must first endure madness.
Sean touched his heart. Amon took out his heart and activated the power of the rot sac mother. He is now a 'heartless person', a living dead, neither a living person nor a dead person, and has the ability to visit the realm of death.
"Then there's the realm of knowledge. In the real world, I've basically learned all the general knowledge."
"But it did not touch the threshold to access the Law of [Knowledge]."
"It's not that I don't have enough knowledge, but that the 'mystical knowledge' I have mastered is not enough. The improvement of mystical knowledge can only be obtained by plundering the extraordinary abilities of other creatures."
There is only one issue in Xiao En's mind now, and that is how to improve his strength and then survive.
The oppression of survival is the most primitive driving force.
"If it's about visiting the realm of the dead, I should be able to do it by now."
"Because I am no longer alive."
Xiao En fell into deep thought, and said to himself: "But Amon has pointed it out to me more than once. If I don't want to become a lich in the future, I can't be promoted according to the route arranged by them."
"Visiting the realm of death, my body will be slowly corroded by negative energy, and my final form should be the same as those of the necromancers."
Because they are exposed to too much negative energy of death, the necromancers end up with a horrible appearance like a mummy.
This promotion route is the process of a living person slowly becoming a dead person and finally transforming into a lich.
"Then I can only choose the field of knowledge."
Xiao En's consciousness touched the mysterious knowledge active in his brain, and after entering the weird kingdom, it became obviously more agitated.
"Mystical knowledge has increased."
"Just when I extracted the extraordinary relics, the mysterious knowledge increased by about one twentieth."
"It seems that a wizard's access to the [Knowledge] realm is determined by the number of spells he or she has mastered. The more spells he or she possesses, the more mysterious knowledge he or she has."
But the pollution and madness must be endured.
Xiao En's current state is difficult to describe. After he put on the strange object, his soul felt a hint of cold breath, coupled with the pollution from digesting the extraordinary relics, he could describe his current feeling in his own way, that is, the upper limit of his rationality value was lowered.
He could only understand it in his own way. Xiao En felt that the more strange objects he had, the lower his rational limit would be. After removing the strange objects, the cold feeling of spirituality disappeared. "Extracting extraordinary relics will increase my spiritual pollution, which can be recovered slowly."
"But wearing strange objects will lower your rational limit, which is very troublesome."
"Then I must carefully consider the rare items I choose in the future."
In the real world, Xiao En has no chance of coming into contact with rare objects, let alone sealed objects. The internal review standards of the Night Watch are very strict, and only high-level Night Watchmen are eligible to apply to use sealed objects.
Sean brought out a pair of Spider Gloves from the real world, but now he has the Ring of the Witch King, the Swamp Amulet, and the Swamp Hunter's Fangs.
That spiritual chilliness was very obvious, as if there were a few ghosts hanging on the body.
The essence of a strange object is the remnant of the consciousness and power of other dead extraordinary beings. If you are in a desperate situation and lack materials, you can use the strange object to eat it as a material for promotion. (Refine a strange object)
Rare items are all processed equipment, sealed objects are not processed much, or even cannot be processed at all, and holy relics are gifts from predecessors.
The strange objects are the least polluting, just a few incomplete ghosts hanging on the body.
"If I want to access the realm of knowledge, then I must take the initiative!"
The knowledge in the weird kingdom is a living thing and a resource. It cannot be learned by reading alone. One must steal, rob, and plunder from other monsters. That's why Sean was thrown into this hellhole place.
There aren't that many monsters for him to kill in the real world!
"There's still plenty of magic power."
Xiao En closed his eyes and sensed the original magic power in his body. His magic power was always abundant. It seemed that because of his high spiritual talent, his magic power was far superior to others. In the Weird Kingdom, the source of magic power for all spellcasters was the same. It was determined by spiritual talent. Unlike the world of the alien soul, where wizards were determined by intelligence and druids were determined by perception, in the Weird Kingdom, magic power was the embodiment of the inner spiritual level. (Three attributes in one.)
Because all spellcasting systems share the same law of primitive magic.
Then fight!
Amon threw himself into this hellhole just to force himself to fight.
Xiao En took a deep breath and took off the magic mask. He no longer considered the issue of mental pollution and planned to face all the strange existences head-on!
"Yes! Master!"
"That's it! There's nothing to be afraid of!" Knowledge became excited and spoke.
Confused to take it off.
Xiao En saw wisps of black poisonous miasma seeping out of the earth. Although they were very weak and could not affect extraordinary people, they could cause ordinary people to have hallucinations.
He sees everything clearly now!
After Xiao En took off the illusion, he felt that the world was so clear. He directly put the illusion into the Ring of the Witch King, and then looked at the poisonous swamp in the distance. Under his spiritual vision, a hazy and illusory outline was reflected in the distance, as if it was a huge, dark, sticky, soft-bodied monster, extending countless huge tentacles that penetrated in all directions.
Give it a try!
No longer confused!
After Xiao En took off the confusion, he was no longer so confused.
He now has only one way to go, fight and survive.
Don't think about anything else.
Three ghostly invisible hands stretched out from Xiao En's back. This was his specialty spell, which lasted longer and consumed less mana. If he wanted to save his own mana, he had to make good use of the combat effectiveness of the invisible hands.
Click.
A bunch of guns were taken out from the Ring of the Witch King. Sean wore a pistol on his waist and hid a short-barreled shotgun in his windbreaker. The invisible hand also took up a weapon. At this moment, he looked like a human arsenal.
Currently he lacks means of attack and his spells consume a lot of energy, so he must use all the resources he has at hand.
——Invisible.
Xiao En's figure disappeared from the spot. He had to feel out the situation around him first. He was not a transcendent of the Wanderer's Path and could not conduct stealth reconnaissance, so invisibility was very important to him.
A few minutes later.
Xiao En quietly returned to the place where he killed the lizardman. Since he was going to give it a try, he might as well do something big!
Give it a try.
Dozens of meters away from Xiao En was the headshot corpse of the lizardman. Xiao En crawled on the ground, quietly waiting. There were corrupted and deformed lizardmen here, so there must be more than one, possibly a corrupted tribe. The corpse would attract other enemies and other predators. No matter which one it was, it would be a good prey for Xiao En.
There are many monsters in the weird kingdom that are not afraid of guns, but the deformed lizardman will die with a headshot, so it is very suitable for him to practice.
call!
Xiao En tried his best to hold his breathing and waited quietly for his prey to come into his sight.
I don’t know how long it took.
There was a slight noise coming from a swamp puddle not far away, and then two dark yellow eyeballs emerged from the water, just like a crocodile's eyes. It looked around very vigilantly, and then two figures came over silently, one after the other.
They were lizardmen with deformed flesh and blood, one of them was even larger, with blood-red eyes filled with bloodthirsty madness, which meant that it had a trace of the old blood in it.
"coming!"
Xiao En took a deep breath and began to measure the distance. In order to maintain his hit rate, he had to shoot at a closer distance so that he could be sure of killing the target with a headshot.
Soon, the two lizardmen saw the body of their companion and they approached cautiously, wanting to check the situation.
It's now!
——Dimension jump.
Xiao En's figure flashed out and he pulled the trigger in an instant. Three invisible hands opened fire at the same time. The dense storm of bullets turned the enemy in front of them into a sieve.
Da da da!
At a distance of less than thirty meters, the two lizardmen were shot in the head at the same time, and Sean emptied the magazines of five pistols in one breath.
hum!
But just as he was about to check whether the enemy was dead or not, suddenly a strange whisper came from the puddle in the swamp, and a hunchbacked and skinny lizardman crawled up, holding a strange bone staff that looked like it was bitten by insects in its hand. The moment it raised it, dense poisonous insects swarmed out.
Xiao En had no time to react before the dense swarm of poisonous insects surrounded him. He was instantly paralyzed and stiffened in place. A poisonous arrow shot out from the enemy's hand. Although it didn't have a bow, it still shot the poisonous arrow and hit Xiao En's head.
In severe pain, Xiao En's head was shot out, his brains spilled out, and his consciousness began to gradually blur.
The scene of death is replaying!
After waking up from the pain of death, Xiao En felt a surge of excitement in his heart. The cooling time of the death rewind was indeed very short. This was the second time he had triggered the effect of the death rewind, and the interval between the two times was less than twenty minutes.
His potential had indeed never been fully realized! The gift left to him by the unknown people was more powerful than he had imagined!
"There is another spellcaster in the swamp."
"If I don't get rid of it first, I'll be dead if I take action!"
Xiao En took a deep breath and began to think about how to kill the hidden spellcaster quietly without alerting the two monsters in front.
The poisonous insects summoned by the opponent can paralyze people, and he has no chance to fight back when attacked by surprise.
"It would be nice if I could sneak."
Xiao En calculated the distance and, through the memory of death flashback, deduced the approximate hiding position of the enemy. It was in a puddle near the mudflat, with its entire body submerged in the filthy water.
This monster is a bitch, and the spellcasters are all bitches.
"The sniper is not sure about a headshot."
“You still have to touch it.”
The Lizardmen are very accurate in archery, and the outcome of the battle is decided in an instant, which is basically the same as in modern warfare. They cannot withstand guns, and Xiao En cannot withstand poisoned arrows. The attack power of each other is at its maximum, and their defensive survivability cannot withstand the opponent's attack methods.
In this situation, Xiao En, who has the ability to rewind death, is basically like using a cheat, and he can directly lock the enemy's ambush position in advance.
He could even know the opponent's hidden tricks because that was how he was killed by the enemy just a second ago.
just now.
Xiao En finally realized his potential and saw a glimmer of hope to survive.
After taking off the confusion, he was really no longer confused at all.
He is about to risk his life, why should he be confused?
