"My name is Benson, and I am a... zombie."
Under the leadership of Doakes, Angel and others walked in the cave for about half a minute, and finally saw a man sitting against the wall, breathing heavily.
He wore a white mask, and the exposed skin was wrapped in white gauze.
This person is exactly the wizard apprentice who was integrated into the bloodline of the Earth Fire Salamander as Doakes said.
He calls himself Benson and is a member of the Bilos family.
"Zombie?" Kael looked at Benson in confusion. Is this a nickname? A very strange nickname...rigid corpse? frozen corpse?
Benson nodded: "Yes, zombie."
As he spoke, Benson took off the white mask on his face, revealing his true face.
His appearance is very ordinary. At first glance, he looks like an ordinary person, but if you look closely, you will find that his skin has a stony dullness, and it does not have the oily sheen of normal skin, just like
It looks like hardened dead skin.
Kael didn't know what happened to Benson's skin, but he secretly guessed that maybe it was some kind of monster skin transplanted, or maybe it was Benson's unique talent after integrating into the bloodline of the Earth Fire Salamander?
Just when Kael was thinking wildly, Doakes suddenly said: "This should be a disease, right?"
Benson glanced at Doakes in surprise. Unexpectedly, Doakes could tell his condition at a glance. But after thinking about it, he thought it was normal. He saw Doakes in the family collection of pictures.
We know that Doakes is a bloodline wizard active in the Principality of Laxum.
Most importantly, Doakes is a wandering wizard.
Although wandering wizards are not organized and have family as their background, wandering wizards often have the most contact with the people at the bottom and know the real situation of the people at the bottom best. On the contrary, organized wizards are more metaphysical.
Benson did not deny it, nodded and said: "Yes, I am a scleroderma patient."
Scleroderma is a rare disease, even among low-income people. Its pathogenesis is still unclear. Its most obvious external symptom is that the skin loses its flexibility and elasticity, and becomes
Hardened and thick.
From the perspective of an extraordinary person, the hardening of the skin caused by scleroderma is more like a benign symptom that can enhance resistance to blows. But for ordinary people, scleroderma is an almost incurable disease.
In terminal illness, as the skin slowly hardens, the blood vessel lumen will also become narrow. Because it is compressive, the organs will also be damaged. As time goes by, it will eventually lead to organ failure and death from the disease.
.
Benson was unfortunate. When he suffered from scleroderma, he was just an ordinary person. He tried various methods to survive for five years, but that was it. His life was full of setbacks and there was no hope at all.
Benson was lucky again. When he was about to face the pain of death, he met a wizard. The wizard who called himself Elder Moon told Benson that he had the blood of his descendants. In a sense,
Benson can be regarded as the exiled son of the Bilos family.
Generally speaking, these scattered children are basically mortal descendants, and the chance of becoming a gifted person is not high. Therefore, the Bilos family is too lazy to look for these descendants.
It was a kind of luck for Benson to meet Elder Yue. And his mental power value reached 11 points, which means he has the background to become a gifted person, which is also a manifestation of luck.
After being brought back to the Bilos family, Benson began to practice unremittingly.
After becoming a wizard's apprentice, the strength of his internal organs was increased, allowing him to finally get rid of the adverse effects of scleroderma.
Moreover, the tough hard skin is still preserved, which has become his heritage, giving him stronger defense capabilities and resistance.
Under the guidance of Elder Yue, Benson fused the bloodline of the Earth Fire Salamander to further enhance the strength of his skin. It can be said that from the perspective of resistance to beatings, Benson can already compete with the bloodline apprentices of the same level.
Compared.
But the price...is that his skin is harder than that of an ordinary person, which makes his whole body seem to be frozen. Except when he talks and moves his eyes, he is completely like a puppet or a dead person at other times.
For this reason, Benson put on a mask and wrapped himself in white gauze to avoid other people's strange eyes. In this way, although he did not look like a zombie, he looked like another kind of zombie.
Species...Mummy.
"Scleroderma? It's really rare." Doakes muttered in a low voice, and then looked at Benson carefully: "Hey, you merged into the fire salamander bloodline to cooperate with the scleroderma, right? This is a very genius idea.
.”
Benson's scleroderma was not cured. He was beaten with hard skin arbitrarily. Although it strengthened his resistance, it also made his skin harder and harder.
Although no disadvantages can be seen at the moment, in the long run, if the hardness of the skin exceeds the upper limit of the load capacity of Benson's internal organs, the consequences of scleroderma will come again.
Benson's choice to merge with the bloodline of the Earth Fire Salamander is a two-pronged strategy that can not only strengthen the hard skin, but also solve the troubles of the hard skin.
The Earth Fire Salamander has strengthened its hard skin. At the same time, the Earth Fire Salamander has specially developed its tolerance to internal organs, which is comparable to the bloodline of some high-level monsters.
Strengthening the bloodline of the Fire Salamander is equivalent to strengthening the hard skin and organs. It can be said that this is Benson's best solution to scleroderma.
If it were Doakes, he would probably choose Benson to integrate into the Earthfire Salamander bloodline.
Benson said with some surprise: "This is actually the advice given to me by Elder Yue."
Doakes, who originally focused on Benson, was stunned for a moment when he heard the name "Elder Moon": "Elder Moon? Is he the elder Yue of the three elders of the Bilos family, sun and moon?"
Benson nodded: "Yes, my ancestor was once the younger brother of Elder Yue, so Elder Yue took good care of me. I can come to the Paradise to practice because of Elder Yue's favor."
Benson's words gave a lot of information, and he did so deliberately.
Although he knew Doakes and knew that Doakes had no relationship with the Bilos family in the past. But who can be sure that there will be no enmity in the near future?
For the sake of his own life, all Benson can do now is to reveal his relationship with Elder Yue, and then point out that Elder Yue is nearby to build up his courage.
Doakes also heard what Benson meant, but he didn't care. He even secretly remembered this method of "deflecting conflicts and pretending to be powerful" in his heart, so that he could use it in the future.
If he really encounters someone who cannot be beaten, he can say in the future that he has a very good relationship with Angel, and is irreconcilable with Sanders. The three ancestral spirits of the Savage Cave are all his backers... This method is very good, in South
Domain, it should be feasible.
Anyway, he wants to follow Angel in a short period of time, so he can gain some verbal benefits first, so he can’t say anything to him, right?
Putting aside his wandering thoughts, Doakes focused his attention on Benson again: "You mean, Elder Yue is in the Paradise? Then the person who said he wanted to play games before actually dared to do it here?"
Benson: "Are you talking about... the masked man?"
Doakes: "The Masked Man? Who is the Masked Man?"
Benson looked puzzled: "Your Majesty, you don't know about the Masked Man? Then why are you in the 'Clay Maze'?"
"I came in from outside." Doakes didn't hide anything and said directly.
Benson's eyes lit up: "Outside? Has the space seal outside the paradise been broken?"
Doakes shook his head: "It was not destroyed. I got in by other means."
Doakes did not say why he came, but instead said: "Do you mind telling me what happened to you tonight? Masked man, clay puppet maze, what are these?"
When he learned that the space seal of Paradise had not been broken, Benson's eyes flashed with disappointment. But in the face of Doakes' inquiry, he still did not hesitate and nodded.
These are not secrets. There are many people in the paradise. Even without him, Doakes can find other people to ask. Therefore, Benson did not intend to hide it and told the experience of this period in detail.
Just over half an hour ago, Benson was following Elder Yue, meditating silently in the moonlight on the top of the mountain.
But at this moment, a masked man in a cloak suddenly smiled strangely and flashed past the paradise.
Every area in the paradise is protected, especially areas with people. After outsiders see it, they will not choose to step in.
And this masked man not only came in, but also laughed loudly and weirdly, showing his presence and looking very weird.
Elder Yue noticed something was wrong and chased after him.
Benson didn't know what happened after that, because he stayed at the top of the mountain and did not catch up.
But not long after Elder Yue chased the masked man away, he heard a strange laughter that spread throughout the paradise——
"Let's play a game~ If you win, I'll let you go~"
Benson was very sure that this strange laughter came from the masked man from before.
Before he could figure out why the masked man was making such a noise, the entire paradise was enveloped by a huge space seal.
Immediately afterwards, space membranes separated the paradise into multiple different territories.
When Benson and the other extraordinary beings around him realized something was wrong, they were unable to leave here.
They could only search nearby to see if they could find some gaps.
Then, someone discovered a huge stone with a human face on the top of the mountain.
There was this stone before, but it didn't have a human face. Now, the appearance of human facial lines looks very unusual.
The human face on the stone tells them that this is a game in the name of escape and survival in reality. As long as they can clear two games, they can leave the paradise.
Immediately afterwards, the names of various games flashed in the eyes of the human face, asking everyone to enter the game.
