After successfully opening the hidden plot that allowed 'Moon City Murasaki' to go undercover at Kyoto's 'Tenmei Shrine', Lin Xun left Hatago and teleported back to Hoshoji Temple.
After using several incense burner props, his incense power has increased to 2200 points, which can be spent well.
I originally wanted to see if there were any new magic techniques to learn from the 'Master of Ceremony Niu Gui'. After all, the output skill of the dragon man only had one 'Dark Dragon's Breath', which seemed very shabby.
However, the list of sorcery at Niugui has not been refreshed. Instead, there are new things from the ‘Shipwreck Mage’...
[The ‘shipwrecked mage’ sitting in the wooden basin was coughing repeatedly and his face was pale. After the battle at ‘Yixie Palace’, he was seriously injured and has not yet recovered. 】
[The 'Shipwrecked Mage' is very ashamed and remorseful because his injuries are too serious and will not recover in a short time, so he cannot continue to assist the 'Descendants of the Dragon God' in the battle. 】
The Shipwrecked Mage had done its best in the battle at Yixie Palace. As a legal monster, it stepped forward to act as a human shield in order to protect Lin Xun.
If it weren't for the Shipwrecked Mage who was in front of him to attract firepower and bear the damage, the battle in Yixie Palace would have been a disastrous defeat.
[You shake your head to indicate that it’s okay. Go to Sakura Fall to find the general’s goal. You can complete it by yourself. 】
['Shipwreck Mage' thinks for a moment and leads you to a side hall that you have never entered before...]
[I saw many spiritual tablets enshrined in the side hall, with incense burning and smoke filling the air.]
[The ‘Shipwreck Mage’ takes out a spiritual tablet placed in the center and hands it to you.]
[You have obtained the ‘Longze Temple Demon Spirit Tablet’ (special prop)! 】
[‘Shipwreck Mage’ will explain to you that although it cannot help ‘Lord Dragonborn’ for the time being, this demon spirit tablet can! 】
[In the side hall, the spiritual tablets of the Longze Temple priests of the past dynasties are enshrined. Surrounded by incense, the demon spirits of these temple priests are protected forever and passed down through generations.]
[‘Dragonborn-sama’’s journey to Sakura Kyoto is full of dangers. If you encounter someone who is invincible, you can use the ‘Demon Spirit Tablet’ to awaken the sleeping demon spirit of the Temple Master to fight for you. 】
[‘Longze Temple Demon Spirit Memorial Tablet’ (special prop): For those who passed away in Longze Temple, the next generation of temple ministers will make tablets for them as a resting place and continue to protect Longze Temple. 】
[Using this prop, you will consume the power of incense to summon the demon spirits of the previous generations of Longze Temple to fight for you for a short time. 】
[Using this prop requires consuming at least 1,000 points of incense power, and for every additional 1,000 points of incense power consumed, the demon spirit that responds to the summons will be more powerful. 】
Lin Xun now has 2200 points of incense power, and can summon a weaker demon spirit twice, or summon an enhanced demon spirit once.
Although we don’t know what the strength of the temple priests in the past is, but based on the strength of the ‘shipwrecked mage’, it is speculated that it should not be much weaker, and maybe it will be stronger.
With this item by your side, the difficulty of defeating the BOSS will be much reduced.
['Shipwreck Master' reminds you, 'Lord Dragonborn' should be a little cautious when using the 'demon spirit tablet'. The demon spirits of the temples of the past generations cannot survive in the world without the aura of incense, so once summoned, regardless of victory or defeat, life or death, the final outcome will be
Their souls are all scattered, and they will never be reincarnated...]
[You nod in agreement and carefully put away the ‘Longze Temple Demon Spirit Tablet’...]
【……】
After obtaining the new summoning props, there are no other plot events in Longze Temple for the time being.
The next plan to conquer the 'Young Huadu' and the operation to infiltrate the 'Tenshu Tower' will have to wait until night to be implemented.
Lin Xun had nothing to do for a while.
I opened the inventory and was in a daze for a long time, and suddenly I saw the bookmark prop I got from the 'Librarian' last time.
[Easter Egg Bookmark (Prop): An extremely rare special bookmark. Using this bookmark, you will be able to open and enter an ‘Easter Egg Chapter’! 】
[Use the easter egg bookmark to randomly open the easter egg chapter for you. You can use the transfer function of 'rest bookmark' to enter the easter egg chapter for interpretation at any time. 】
[In the Easter egg chapter, you can also use the teleport function to return to this chapter or the library.]
"I just have nothing to do, so why not try this Easter egg bookmark."
Lin Xun thought about it, then pressed the prop and clicked to use it.
【You have used the ‘Easter Egg Bookmark’! 】
[Opening randomly...]
【……】
[You have successfully opened the ‘Easter Egg Chapter Chapter 8715’! 】
【……】
"This is gone?"
Lin Xun was a little confused. Following the instructions on the easter egg bookmark, he returned to the guest house in Longze Temple and touched the 'rest book page'.
There is a new option under the teleportation option - 'Easter Egg Chapter·Chapter 8715, Seven-Star Guardian'
"What does the seven-star protection... mean?"
Full of doubts, he clicked the send button.
[Transmitting...]
【……】
【Transmission successful!】
【You have entered the easter egg chapter.】
【Chapter 8715, Seven Star Guardian!】
[The powerful wandering soul awakens next to the huge demon-suppressing monument...]
[Under your feet is the ground paved with pure white bricks. When you look around, the place you are in seems to be a vast ancient altar. 】
[On the edge of the circular altar are long bridges of clouds and mist connecting several palaces filled with fairy spirit. Behind the palaces is the endless sky...]
[You look up and see unfamiliar words engraved on the huge stone tablet beside you...]
【……】
[The Beidou Demon-Suppressing Altar that protects the human world is crumbling, and endless demons from outside the realm are about to pour in...]
[The seven Big Dipper Lords are the last hope for hundreds of millions of creatures, and the invincible Star Lords are the last line of defense against the invasion of demons.]
【You are one of the Seven Star Lords!】
[The seven fairy palaces next to the Demon Suppressing Altar are the only way to the human world. You need to protect the heavenly gates in the fairy palace, prevent the outside demons from entering, and exterminate the heavenly demons to protect the human world...]
[The Demon Suppressing Altar suppresses nine kinds of extraterrestrial demons in total. Every time the banning power of the altar weakens, a kind of demon will emerge. 】
[The forbidden power of the altar will be weakened three times every day, and each time will last for half an hour. If you successfully resist the invasion of nine kinds of demons within three days, it will be considered a success. ]
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! [If during the resistance, more than half of the Immortal Palace is lost, it means the resistance has failed.]
[Seven Star Lord successfully resists the invasion of the demons, and will be favored and rewarded by heaven. If the resistance fails, the human world will collapse and the world will be destroyed.]
[Please choose the fairy palace you want to guard and summon the remaining six star kings...]
[Apostle, you have opened the peaceful recruitment mode of the easter egg chapter! 】
[A recruitment invitation has been automatically sent to the fifth difficulty apostles in the book friend list...]
[1. Apostle: ‘Xingli’]
[2. Apostle: ‘Little white deer’]
[3. Apostle: ‘Glory Wolf’]
[4....No other apostles meeting this difficulty level have been detected,]
[Due to the insufficient number of book friends, please enter the soul marks of the remaining apostles. After the recruited apostles agree, you can enter this chapter together to help you guard the fairy palace and protect the world...]
[You can also choose to be randomly recruited to complete the mission of protecting the world.]
[Please note that whether it is designated recruitment or random recruitment, you can only recruit apostles of the current difficulty (Chapter 5 difficulty)! 】
[Do you want to start the recruitment immediately? After the recruitment is completed, the Beidou Demon Suppressing Altar will weaken the power of the ban, causing the demons from outside the territory to pour in...]
Several question marks floated on Lin Xun's forehead.
When I was confused, my cell phone rang, and the caller ID was Sister Heishi.
Just after the call was answered, the female boss's surprised voice came from the other end: "Lin Xun, have you opened the Easter egg chapter about the invasion of demons?"
Lin Xun was startled. How did the female boss know the content of the easter egg chapter? Could it be that the official team had organized a strategy?
After an in-depth discussion with his female boss, he finally understood the key points.
"The official Apostle did have a clear strategy once, but the Easter egg chapter that time was Chapter 8714, and the people who entered were all Apostles of the fourth difficulty... In the end, the strategy failed."
There was once an official apostle who was lucky enough to get an Easter egg bookmark, which happened to be chapter 8714, which was one difficulty level lower than him.
The apostle is said to be from the logistics team of Jinling City, Bulk Province, and the list of book friends is also full of colleagues from the logistics team.
And since the apostles in the logistics team are relatively weak in combat effectiveness, they might as well be recruited randomly... and then the group was wiped out as expected.
The tricks in the Easter egg chapters are all kinds of weird, including challenges similar to ladder climbing and tower climbing, puzzle-solving and exploration, and even complete worlds like the orthodox chapters.
What Lin Xun encountered this time was an easter egg chapter similar to a tower defense. The goal was to protect the fairy palace and resist the invasion of demons.
Resist three waves of demon invasions every day, and successfully resist nine waves of invasions after three days, and you will be able to clear the level and settle the rewards.
After the interpretation of this recruitment Easter egg chapter is completed, the apostle who opened the chapter will receive a large amount of rewards, and the other recruited apostles can also follow suit.
But if the recruited apostle Tai Cai causes more than half of the Immortal Palace to fall, it means that the resistance fails, the world in the Easter Egg Chapter will be destroyed, and the rewards will be wasted.
If you fail to resist, you will not only miss out on rewards, but you will also suffer certain penalties, such as reducing the income of the next chapter, or being imprinted with some kind of negative BUFF by the underworld game, etc.
According to Li Xingyue, the Jinling logistics team did not even survive the third wave of demons on the first day, and achieved the achievement of losing four immortal palaces, and then failed to resist.
The apostles who participated in the Easter egg chapter were all given a negative BUFF by the underworld game - spiritual gains were reduced by 30%. This BUFF can only be eliminated after the orthodox chapter is fully interpreted.
"Lin Xun, how many apostles have you recruited now?"
"Including you and me, there are four, and there are three recruitment spots left."
Xingli is Li Xingyue, Xiaobailuya is Lu Caiyi, and the Glory Wolf Warrior is Wang Zong, the leader of the armed group...
As for Ye Xiaoqi, An Yun, Anying and the other intelligence team colleagues who have become book friends, since they have not yet entered the fifth difficulty level, they naturally cannot be recruited to enter the Easter egg chapter.
"I can help you operate the remaining three places and summon elite apostles from the headquarters or various places to help you conquer the Easter egg chapter..."
Lin Xun smacked his lips, and couldn't help but sigh that having such a leader was so comfortable, and could help him summon powerful teammates to push chapters together.
"Thank you very much, leader. I have nothing to repay, so I can only pledge myself to you."
"Oh, who cares? I have another question, how much are you going to charge for the ticket?"
Ticket fee?
Lin Xun opened his eyes wide: "This... can you still charge money for hiring a thug?"
"Ordinary people can't accept it. Entering the Easter egg chapter carries the risk of failure. If you don't receive the reward, you will be punished."
"But we are an official group, and the apostles we recruit are all the elites among the elites. What's more, with you as our trump card, the probability of victory is very high. It's normal to charge a little admission fee."
Lin Xun didn't know what expression to put on. He felt as if he had made money again unknowingly, but he didn't know what the market price was: "Team leader, what kind of friendship do we have? I'll leave it to you. I can rest assured. You can figure it out."
Already."
"Well, don't worry, I won't let you suffer. Don't start a group yet, wait until I contact the thugs..."
Just as Lin Xun hung up the phone from Li Xingyue, he received another call from Wang Zong.
"What a boy! You are indeed the son-in-law of my armed group! Even with the Easter egg bookmark, you haven't forgotten me, my father-in-law!"
On the other end of the phone was Wang Zong's loud voice.
Lin Xun twitched his lips. The recruitment invitation was sent automatically, not by him.
After chatting with his "father-in-law" for a while, Wang Zong patted his chest and promised that since the son-in-law's betrothal gifts had been delivered, he would have to give him some dowry and so on.
But halfway through Wang Zong's words, someone snatched the phone away from him.
Lu Caiyi's soft voice came: "Team Leader Wang was just joking just now, Lin Xun, don't take it to heart... Thank you very much for inviting me."
"I'm kidding? Why are you blushing, Yiyi? Didn't you never wear perfume before? Why did you wear perfume recently? Oh, I remembered, it seems that the boy Lin Xun gave it to you..."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Lin Xun hung up the phone in confusion.
This group of people seemed to subconsciously feel that they would be able to pass the level if they formed a team with him, and they didn't consider what would happen if the strategy failed.
"...Let's read the chapter guide first."
Li Xingyue has sent the team elimination process of the Jinling Logistics Team to his email, and Lin Xun continues to operate the game according to the chapter guide.
[Each fairy palace has different blessings from heaven, which can provide certain assistance when Star Lord guards the fairy palace.]
[As you step across the long cloud bridge, you will be surrounded by thousands of golden lights and red neons, and thousands of auspicious streaks of purple mist. It is brilliant, and there are faint shadows of dragons and phoenixes circling and dancing.]
[While the fairy palace is illuminated by the bright glow of the sky, and the green mist covers the entrance, it looks like an immortal from the upper realm.]
【You enter the first fairy palace - Tianshu Palace!】
[Deep inside the palace is a magnificent heavenly gate, the entire body of which is made of jasper and glass. 】
[Through the Tianmen, you can overlook the bustling scene of the human world, with children playing in the market, swordsmen fighting in rivers and lakes, and kings and princes offering sacrifices in temples...]
[Current Tianmen Immortal Power Protection: 100/100]
According to the guide, every time a demon successfully invades Tianmen, the protection of the immortal power will be weakened.
When the 100 points of immortal power protection value are used up, it will be announced that the Tianmen has been lost and the Immortal Palace has fallen.
The fall of more than half of the fairy palaces means that the resistance has failed.
[The current Immortal Palace is Tianshu Palace, which is the No. 1 Immortal Palace in Beidou. It is also known as Greedy Wolf, which turns into peach blossoms. It is responsible for misfortunes and blessings. Guarding this Immortal Palace can receive blessings from heaven - Greedy Wolf: Kill one more with each strike.
Gong Tianmo can slightly improve the clearance rating.】
【Do you want to choose to guard Tianshu Palace?】
Lin Xun did not choose to garrison rashly. He first looked at what buffs the other immortal palaces had.
【……】
[The current Immortal Palace is Tianxuan Palace, the second Immortal Palace of Beidou, also known as the Giant Gate, which turns dark and governs right and wrong. Guarding this Immortal Palace can receive blessings from heaven - Giant Gate: Increase the Tianmen Immortal Power of this Immortal Palace.
The protection value is increased from 100 points to 200 points.】
【……】
[The current Immortal Palace is Tianji Palace, the third Immortal Palace of Beidou, also known as Lucun...]
【……】
【Current Immortal Palace...】
For example, Tianji Lucun can increase the treasure drop rate of the Demon BOSS, and Tianquan Wenqu can slightly increase Xingjun's spell damage, while Kaiyang Wuqu can increase Xingjun's physical damage.
There are also Yuheng Lianzhen and Yaoguang Pojun. Each fairy palace has different buffs.
After Lin Xun browsed the seven star palaces, he decided to guard the first immortal palace, Tianshu Tanlang!
Although Tianji Lucun can increase the treasure drop rate of the BOSS, according to the guide, the devil monsters are a poor group. The apostles of the Jinling Logistics Team who guarded Tianji Palace only broke out a little after the three waves of devils invaded.
Spirituality is really dispensable.
Lin Xun speculated that most of the rewards for guarding the Immortal Palace should be obtained after completing the level and relying on the evaluation of the level.
Tianshu Greedy Wolf can, after guarding his own fairy palace, help other star kings to slay the demons to improve their pass rating.
There is no other reason for choosing Tianshu Tanlang, the main reason is self-confidence!
