Chapter 187 The Spirit of the Stars, the Horrible Hydralisk
['Ring of Stars' Light' (special equipment)... Wearing this equipment, you will be able to attract the attention of the 'Bright Stars' oath camp. There is a certain probability that you will be summoned by the creatures of the oath camp, or the oath creatures will come to you directly.
around.]
Lin Xun looked at the props in the inventory with hesitant eyes.
If he is an apostle of the Oath of the Stars, the 'Ring of the Stars' Light' is an artifact that summons friendly elites or bosses.
But for him now, using this special equipment is very likely to summon BOSS-level monsters, which is not the point.
The important thing is that it will also attract the attention of the stars.
If he fails to summon the star creatures and is instead summoned by the big boss of the star camp, he will definitely die.
"To use it or not to use it, that is the question..."
Lin Xun was hesitating when he suddenly thought that if using the 'Ring of Stars' Rays' was a death decision, then the 'Almighty True Knowledge' would send a 'Beast of Disordered Knowledge' to correct his mistakes.
"It's good to have a big boss standing behind you. Let me give it a try!"
Click on ‘Ring of Stars’ Light’ and the equipment options will pop up.
Lin Xun waited silently for the text to display.
After a long time, the expected ‘beast of disordered knowledge’ did not appear.
"In other words, I can equip it directly?"
[You have worn the special equipment ‘Ring of Stars’ Light’! 】
[The crystal inlaid on the ring bursts into dazzling starlight.]
[The magnificent phantom of the galaxy leaps out from the spar, and countless stars twinkle around you.]
[You are noticed by distant stars...the gaze is blocked by unknown force!]
[Summoning creatures from the ‘Bright Stars’ pledge camp!]
【Summoning...】
Lin Xun looked at the text that was constantly beating, and knew in his heart that at the moment when he put on the equipment, there was a game between gods hidden behind it.
Judging from the current situation, it is undoubtedly the 'Almighty True Knowledge' behind him who has won.
Lin Xun didn't dare to be careless, so he stayed beside the resting book pages in the hall.
If something goes wrong, teleport away immediately.
【Summoning...】
[A bright green star array appears in the hall, and a strange figure gradually emerges. 】
[The strange figure is not huge, but it is extremely ferocious and terrifying. 】
[The jet-black bone plates dotted with stars cover the snake-shaped torso, which is covered with twisted and ferocious bone spurs, the sharp forelimbs shaped like sickles, and the two huge fangs in the lower jaw, all of which describe the terror and power of this creature.
.]
[You discovered the ‘Spirit of the Stars—Dreaded Hydralisk’! 】
[The first time you saw the form of the 'Dreaded Hydralisk', that terrifying form made your hair stand on end. You just felt dizzy, and a sense of disordered knowledge was poured into your soul. 】
[You have acquired knowledge, and your knowledge has increased by 2500! Current knowledge: 4601/15200]
According to the previous text, the Star Spirit should be the orthodox name of the star monster.
Back then, at the bottom of the 'Xia Mara's Astrology Tower', he summoned a sudden death of a star creature called the 'Star-horned Rhinoceros'.
That miscellaneous fish star creature does not bear the name of 'Star Spirit'. Judging from the name, it may be a BOSS-level monster summoned this time.
Lin Xun took advantage of the fact that the monster in front of him was still summoned and operated quickly.
[You are possessed by the body of the ‘Sunken Ancient Theater Dancer’! 】
[You open a dark eye and take smart dance steps...]
[The starlight in the hall is bright, your body skill ‘Blood Shadow Dance’ is buffed by ‘Dark Shadow’, and the concealment effect is only slightly improved. 】
"Oops!"
Lin Xun's original plan was to summon the monster and then hide himself.
After the monster has been unable to find its attack target, it can't just stay where it is and be trapped in the maze, right?
He can remain invisible and follow the monster quietly.
Until you get out of the maze, you can kill the monster...
However, he ignored that the light in the Star-Chasing Corridor was bright, and the bonus effect of 'dark shadows' would be greatly reduced here.
"You can't see me...you can't see me..."
Lin Xun could only pray secretly that the monster that was about to be successfully summoned did not have the ability to break the invisibility.
【Summoning successful!】
[The star formation disappears, and the color of the ‘Ring of Stars’ Light’ at the base of your finger becomes dim...]
[The deformed monster twists its snake-like body, and the two ferocious eyes on its head scan around.]
[The 'Terror Hydralisk' seems to have noticed something. It twists its body and approaches you. Its sickle-like forelimbs reflect the cold light in the starlight, and sticky saliva drips from its fangs from time to time. 】
[The saliva fell to the ground, making a sizzling sound and rising into smoke. The ground that was not damaged by your full blow was actually corroded into pits. 】
[The stars carved on the ground flashed, and then the uneven spots were instantly repaired as intact as ever.]
[Your whole body is tense. Faced with the constant approach of the 'Dreaded Hydralisk', are you going to continue to lurk here, or take the initiative to attack? 】
Lin Xun's goal is not to kill the BOSS and explode the equipment.
The monster in front of me doesn't look invincible, at least it's not the kind of monster that's invincible at first glance.
If you choose to take the initiative to attack, it is equivalent to blinding the newly summoned monster in vain.
It would be funny if the next summons encountered a super BOSS.
Moreover, Lin Xun also noticed that after the successful summoning just now, the text displayed "The color of the 'Ring of Stars' Light' at the base of your finger is dim."
He had a bad feeling about this.
[You continue to remain invisible, lurking next to the 'rest page' behind the statue of the stars...]
[The 'Terrified Hydralisk' is gradually approaching, and you can clearly smell its fishy and pungent smell. 】
[It twisted in front of the statue of the stars, bent down with its upright upper body, and kept making a hissing sound, as if it was worshiping the statue. 】
[You let out a long sigh of relief, realizing that the 'Dreaded Hydralisk' did not notice you. It was approaching the statue in front of you. 】
Lin Xun also breathed a sigh of relief.
I secretly made up my mind to go back to find Bennett after exploring the map here to eliminate the defects of the eyeball's bonus effect.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! [You continue to observe silently where you are, the 'Terrified Hydralisk' worshiped the statue for a long time, and finally stood up...]
[It looks towards the long corridor at the end of the hall, twists its body and moves forward. 】
[‘Terror Hydralisk’ swims towards the corridor…]
【Are you going to stay here or follow behind? 】
[You take silent steps, following behind the 'Dreaded Hydralisk'...]
[It doesn’t seem to notice you following it, and swims straight to the long corridor that forks in the middle.]
[Then it takes the central fork all the way. After passing through three forks, you will see the elliptical portal connected at the end of the corridor. 】
[What surprises you is that the scene in the portal is no longer a black hole, but you can vaguely see a grand palace surrounded by stars. 】
[‘Terror Hydralisk’ went straight into the portal and disappeared. 】
【Do you want to enter the portal? 】
Lin Xun twitched the corner of his mouth.
In front of him, there were ninety-nine options for the 'Star-Chasing Corridor', and there were only three options left for the 'Dread Hydralisk'...
"This guy has such a strong faith!"
He was about to step into the portal when his sixth sense as an experienced player suddenly warned him.
‘The Horrible Hydralisk’ is obviously a powerful BOSS-level monster.
The enhanced invisibility effect of 'dark shadow' is negligible in bright light, almost non-existent.
Will a powerful BOSS not be able to detect the dancer's stealth skills?
Lin Xun thought it was unlikely. Even if it couldn't be discovered, it would be a small probability event.
After thinking for a moment, he switched bodies.
[You are possessed by the body of the ‘fallen earth giant’! 】
[You hold up the ‘Ancient Dragon Tooth Club’ in your hand and stride into the portal...]
[You feel dazed for a while, and the scene in front of you changes drastically. 】
[Before you can see your surroundings clearly, a ferocious shadow rushes towards you with great force.]
[The sharp sickle blade of the forelimb cut through the scales on your waist, leaving a huge bloody wound that almost disembowelled you.]
【You are seriously injured!】
[The 'Dragon Knight's regenerated scales' heal quickly and are intact as before in the blink of an eye. 】
[You can also clearly see that the extremely fast attacker is the ‘Dreaded Hydralisk’! 】
"Sure enough, I might be discovered when I follow it. This BOSS wants to trick me!"
Lin Xun was secretly glad that he had switched to the earth giant's body.
Otherwise, if you use dancers to resist the BOSS's sneak attack, you will definitely be able to lead them.
[You let out a shocking roar, raised the weapon in your hand, and threw it at the monster...]
['The Horrible Hydralisk' twisted its body, nimbly dodged your fierce blow, and quickly retreated...]
[You wave your giant stick and rush forward to pursue, only to see the 'Dread Hydralisk' open its back bone plate and armor, tilt its head back, and then suddenly poke out, two sharp black shadows make a sound of breaking through the air.
Pierce into your body.]
[You yelled angrily, only feeling severe pain!]
[You pull out the spines that pierce your body. The spines are covered with green mucus, and the skin and flesh at the wound sizzles due to the corrosion of the mucus, making you unbearably painful. 】
[You stride forward and want to get close to the 'Dreaded Hydralisk', but it does not confront you head-on. Instead, it keeps keeping distance and wandering around. 】
[As you pull, sharp spines with corrosive acid will continuously spray out, making your injuries gradually worse...]
Lin Xun originally thought that the 'Dread Hydralisk' was an agile assassin for close combat, but he did not expect that it was a BOSS that focused on long-range attacks.
"Hmph, you think you're the only one who can fly a kite?"
Lin Xun directly summoned the 'three-headed lion' without hesitation.
[With the crisp whistle, you summon the ferocious and strong ‘Three-Headed Lion of Sinking’! 】
He did not have the three-headed lion to issue attack commands, but instead gave rare protection commands.
[You are possessed by the body of the ‘President of the Knowledge-Seeking Direct Gaze Association’! 】
[The ‘Three-Headed Lion of Sinking’ takes steps to protect you firmly under its strong body. 】
[‘The Horrible Hydralisk’ shot sharp spines at you again, but the three-headed lions resisted them with their flesh and blood. 】
[The muscles of the three-headed lion squirm, squeeze out the spines, and then the wound heals quickly, like a solid iron wall, blocking all attacks for you. 】
[You raise your staff and recite the incantation silently...]
[The pure white grating rises from the ground to protect you, becoming the second solid defense. 】
"Trying to play kite flying with me? Let me tell you what a fort is called."
Lin Xun smiled slightly and pressed 'Light of the Meteoric Star'.
[You raise your staff and recite the incantation again...]
【……】
[The 'Terror Hydralisk' fired acid spines one after another, but they were all blocked by the three-headed lion's powerful body. 】
【Endless starlight blooms!】
[When the light is extinguished, the body of the 'Dreaded Hydralisk' is covered with wounds, and green blood is flowing everywhere. 】
[It wailed a few times and weakly sprayed its spines at you again. However, the intensity and speed of the shots were far less than before, and it was easily blocked by the three-headed lion. ]
"Not dead yet? The health bar is thick enough..."
Lin Xun no longer uses ‘Light of the Meteor’, as this skill consumes too much mana.
He continued to hide under the crotch of the three lions, using small skills to output wildly.
【……】
[With the pure white spear pierced through the deformed torso, the 'Dread Hydralisk' finally fell. 】
Lin Xun waited quietly for the game to pop up the text of the reward item.
Unexpectedly, after waiting for a long time, there was no movement.
['Hydralisk's eyes are dim, and the tattered body covered with wounds is motionless and silent.]
"Young man, are you still pretending to be dead?"
If the game text does not say "You defeated XXX", it means that the monster in front of you is not dead yet.
Of course Lin Xun would not be fooled by such a little trick.
[You raise your hand, the 'Pre-stored Spell Ring' flashes with light, and the giant spear composed of two characters instantly penetrates the enemy, pinning him to the ground. 】
[‘The Horrible Hydralisk’ twisted its body suddenly and tried to bounce up, but was firmly pinned to death by the spear. Its struggle gradually became weaker...]
[You defeated the ‘Spirit of the Stars—Dread Hydralisk’, and your experience value increased significantly. 】
[You have obtained ‘a large piece of spiritual enlightenment’*1]
[You obtained the ‘Corrosive Spine of the Hydralisk’ (material)]
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! [You have obtained the ‘Essence of Star Faith’ (item)]
[You look at the scarred corpses in front of you...]
[The body of 'Spirit of the Stars - Horrible Hydralisk': The Star Familia is named 'The Spirit of the Stars'. Only the backbone race of the Star Familia can obtain this orthodox title. But it is one of the tens of millions of Hydralisks.
One was an ordinary little hydralisk. It died from an unknown spell that penetrated the body. Resistance: 57% (45%)]
[You look at the only building that exists in the distance—the majestic palace standing tall. Countless stars surround it, making it dazzling.]
【Do you want to step forward and enter the ‘Star Spirit Palace’? 】
Lin Xun was not in a hurry to enter the ‘Star Spirit Palace’ to receive the reward.
He opened the inventory and looked at the loot he had just obtained.
[‘The Corroded Spine of the Hydralisk’ (material): Selected from the hardest and thickest spine on the Hydralisk’s body, the tip of the spine has a sharp barb. Weapons forged with this material must be incredibly lethal. 】
['Star Faith Essence' (prop): A bit of cold starlight. Only the creatures with the strongest faith among the stars can condense the essence of faith. This thing is usually only produced in the bodies of dependent creatures, because it is difficult for ordinary people to achieve such firmness and purity.
belief.】
[Using this prop will increase your piety towards the ‘Bright Stars’. 】
Lin Xun's face was covered with black lines.
What's the use of this thing?
He is not a believer in the stars, so he obviously cannot use this item.
"Increase faith and piety..."
Lin Xun pondered for a moment, and he had a guess, whether the so-called 'faith and piety' might be a condition for starting a certain task in the 'Bright Stars' oath...or a condition for using some kind of magic, etc.
Since there is piety in the 'Bright Stars', will the camp of 'Almighty True Knowledge' also have such a concept?
Lin Xun speculated for a long time but had no clue.
He put aside his distracting thoughts for the time being and clicked forward.
[You step forward, gradually approaching the magnificent palace surrounded by stars...]
[The ‘Three-Headed Lion of Sinking’ follows you closely, always alert to the surrounding situation. 】
[You climb the stairs in front of the palace and climb up...]
[You suddenly stop and notice that there is an obelisk standing at the entrance of the hall, which is the same as the one you saw in the hall of the 'Star Chasing Corridor', but the words on it seem to be a little different.]
[You step forward and read clearly the words recorded on the obelisk - 'Only those with firm faith can obtain the favor of God'.]
