[You land with your sword on the ground and stare at the lush forest in front of you...]
Lin Xun spent a long time checking around the "Secret Forest". What was strange was that not only was there no trace of the ancient tree people, he didn't even see a small tree person.
The mysterious Lake of Life also disappeared, along with the saplings of the Tree of Life.
The 'Deep Forest' is no different from an ordinary forest. There are only birds, animals, insects and vegetation, and there is no sign of the existence of tree people.
He suddenly thought of the prompt given by the underworld game when entering the chapter.
'Since you have obtained the 'SSS' rating in the orthodox chapter of this easter egg chapter, the relevant plot characters and relevant plot events in this chapter will be based on the development process of your chapter, changing the plot direction to a certain extent!'
"So, even if you travel back to an earlier chapter of the timeline, you can't claim the rewards you've received before?"
Lin Xun felt that this was probably the case, so the underworld game directly erased the existence of relevant rewards.
I don’t know how much time has passed between Chapter 323 of the orthodox chapter and Chapter 326 of the Easter egg chapter. Using the vicissitudes of terrain to rationalize the act of erasing rewards is the explanation of the apostles in the underworld game.
After confirming that there were no rewards he had received, he had to go to Saint Reims immediately.
During the time he was searching for the prize, the number of 24 contenders had been reduced to 18.
Every candidate who died in battle died in the same way as before. Not long after being resurrected, he died one after another in the form of a wandering spirit, causing the souls of the apostles to be annihilated.
According to Yamos's information, the easter egg chapters of the disciple election have always been short-lived.
The previous discipleship campaigns took only three or four days at the longest, and the winner could be decided in a short period of time or even in one day.
In 'Killing Mode', it is not the best choice to hide from other apostles. Only by actively looking for other apostles and defeating them can you have a chance to become the final winner.
After the apostle defeats a certain number of competitors, the underworld game will give a killing BUFF to strengthen the apostle's strength.
If you choose to stay in a certain corner, the gap with other competitors will only get wider and wider.
At the end of the Easter egg chapter, the underworld game will also force all surviving apostles to participate in the end event.
If a competitor has been stuck in a corner since the beginning and has not obtained a kill BUFF from the beginning to the end, his ending will be extremely miserable when the end event comes.
【……】
[You arrive at the edge of the 'Secret Forest' and look up, you will see a prosperous and majestic town in the distance. 】
[On the road to ‘Saint Reims’, there is no impressive ‘cemetery’, the road is smooth...]
Lin Xun did not choose the way of traveling with a sword, but switched to the body of the 'Ninja Master' and traveled invisibly.
【……】
[You are gradually approaching the moonlight town of ‘Saint Lance’...]
[The water in the moat outside the town of ‘Saint Lance’ is clear and sparkles in the sunlight. 】
[On the flat metal suspension bridge, there are many pedestrians coming and going, and you can also see many vendors setting up carriages and pulling melons and fruits into the town...]
[The most eye-catching thing at the gate of the city is a row of soldiers wearing light armor. The lord's soldiers collect taxes from entering the city one by one.]
[You remain invisible and blend into the crowd to enter the town...]
[Suddenly, you see a figure with red light all over its body, trying to blend into the crowd and enter the town. ]
[You discovered ‘Unknown Apostle No. 23’! 】
[The figure is dressed in a blue embroidered robe, has long hair shawl, and a sword hanging from his waist. It is obviously completely different from ordinary people's attire. 】
[Several soldiers stopped ‘Unknown Apostle No. 23’ and prepared to charge for entry into the city. The red figure drew his sword to greet him without hesitation! 】
[The long sword stabbed repeatedly, blood spattered everywhere, and the soldiers fell down one after another.]
[‘Unknown Apostle No. 23’ ignores the screaming crowd around him and rushes into the city gate. He will disappear from your sight after just a few dodgers...]
【Do you want to catch up immediately, or choose to turn a blind eye? 】
Lin Xun narrowed his eyes.
Press the ‘Catch up’ option decisively.
[You remain invisible, tap your toes on the ground, and the 'qi' in your body continues to surge, chasing the enemy. 】
[The distance between you and ‘Unknown Apostle No. 23’ is quickly closing, and you are about to catch up with the enemy...]
[In the crowd on the street, an ordinary farmer suddenly stood up, his whole body emitting a striking red light! 】
[‘Farmer’ suddenly came up behind ‘Unknown Apostle No. 23’ and stabbed the blue dagger in his hand into his heart!]
[‘Unknown Apostle No. 23’’s body froze, and blue markings visible to the naked eye appeared on his face. 】
[‘Unknown Apostle No. 23’ fell powerlessly, its body turned into dots and disappeared...]
[The 'Farmer' succeeded with one strike and quickly got into the crowd, transforming into a 'Businessman'. The flashing red light around him went out, and he was no different from the pedestrians around him. 】
[The ‘businessman’ pretended to run away with the frightened people around him...]
Lin Xun saw the 'Kill' option flashing again.
Needless to say, this is the reminder that the ‘Unknown Apostle No. 23’ was killed.
"Damn! Head snatcher!"
The 'farmer' who snatched the head was obviously another disciple candidate.
The information given by Amos included information about this apostle.
This candidate is the best among the five difficulty apostles. He has a very unique "camouflage" skill, which can temporarily change his appearance and blend into the environment.
Coupled with its soul talent, it can even cover up its own flashing red light, which is to cover up the 'intruder's light and shadow', which is a very good PVP Yinman skill.
[As the body of ‘Unknown Apostle No. 23’ disappeared, the streets gradually returned to calm. 】
[Pedestrians walking by looked in a hurry, seemingly not paying attention to the bloody scene before.]
[You look back and see that the commotion at the city gate has subsided, and the bodies of several 'soldiers' have also disappeared...]
Lin Xun frowned secretly.
The easter egg chapter this time is really stingy. It doesn’t matter if there are no additional rewards. Except for the free body at the beginning, you can’t get the body by killing monsters.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! [You remain invisible and try to find the 'Businessman', but it may be that the 'Businessman' has changed his appearance again. You have been looking for a long time and you still can't find it.
That 'businessman'...]
【Do you want to continue deeper into the town, or stay here? 】
Lin Xun was also a very brave man. Not only did he choose to stay where he was, he even lifted the invisibility status of the 'Ninja Master' and exposed his body to the public.
You must know that if the other apostles do not have invisibility breaking skills, they will not be able to detect the 'Ninja Master' in the invisible state.
You can't even see the body, let alone the 'intruder's light and shadow'.
"Stay at the gate of the city to fish, right?"
"I don't know if you can eat my bait... or not!"
[You release your invisibility and expose your body to the street. You look very eye-catching wearing a hat and a tight-fitting ninja suit...]
[Suddenly, you feel a strange breath approaching quickly...]
[You pull out the ‘Dragon Sword Masamune’ from your waist, turn around and block! 】
[With a clang, the blue dagger clashed with the famous magic weapon of Yingluo...]
[In the astonished gaze of ‘Unknown Apostle No. 16’, the blue dagger snapped! 】
[The black karma fire disappeared in an instant, and a brilliant sword light flashed past, like falling cherry blossom petals...]
[A big head flies into the sky, and blood spurts from the broken neck like a fountain!]
[When the head falls to the ground, you exhale, slowly sheath the sword, and the apostle’s body behind you turns into dots and disappears...]
[You defeated ‘Unknown Apostle No. 16’! 】
[Because your invasion authority is higher, you can plunder a piece of loot from the apostle. 】
[Please select the category of loot you want to plunder...]
The special skill of 'Ryuuken Masamune' is activated during battle to achieve the effect of breaking the blade, directly causing damage to the enemy apostle's weapon.
Lin Xun chose to draw a large category of equipment, and he didn't know whether it was good luck or bad luck, but he actually pulled out the damaged blue dagger.
The epic dagger weapon has its own poison attribute damage. Although it is in a damaged state, if you take it back to the library and buy a few repair materials, you can let the 'Knifemaker' repair it for free, thus selling it at a good price.
"The apostle of the fifth difficulty level is still too good, and it's not even worth using my life-changing artifact to extract the drops..."
This is not Lin Xun’s Versailles. Using ‘Sakura Yasaka Qiong Quyu’ requires consuming the luck value in the prop.
The recovery speed of luck value is extremely slow. If you use it on a novice apostle, you will waste the luck value. When you kill the sixth difficulty apostle among the candidates, you will not have enough luck value when extracting the equipment, and you will cry without tears.
[‘Unknown Apostle No. 16’ is dead! 】
[Since ‘Unknown Apostle No. 16’ has ‘Killing Feast’, you have inherited the apostle’s related buff status. 】
[You have obtained the buff status ‘Killing Feast’! 】
[‘Killing Feast’: This buff state can increase your various attributes by 20%, and the buff state will be maintained until the end of this Easter egg chapter! 】
[This gain state can be continuously superimposed, there is no upper limit! 】
"It turns out that all attributes are increased by 20%, and can be superimposed without limit!"
Lin Xun's eyes widened.
I just feel that this gain BUFF is too abnormal. Compared with the increase in holy objects that can't even be half eaten if you are not satisfied with it, the bonus of the 'Killing Feast' is really too strong.
As long as the ‘Killing Feast’ can be stacked several times, the overall strength of the body can be multiplied several times!
No wonder this BUFF can only take effect within this chapter. If the ‘Killing Feast’ can be taken out of the Easter egg chapter, it will simply destroy the balance of the game.
The fishing behavior of "Unknown Apostle No. 16" inspired Lin Xun.
Anyway, this easter egg chapter is in the ‘killing mode’ and there are not many extra rewards. It is better to fish at the gate of the city to superimpose the ‘killing feast’.
[A group of 'Guardian Knights' came from a distance at the end of the street. Among the dozen or so people, there was a black-robed priest who stood out. 】
[The priest's black robe has a silver-white mark with a crescent moon on the chest, which is the symbol of the 'bright crescent moon'. 】
[You turned around in a daze, and before the knight and priest saw you, you used your escape technique again and became invisible.]
[The guardian knights surrounded the black-robed priests and rushed directly to the city gate to station themselves. It seems that the previous commotion attracted the attention of the 'White Moon Church'. 】
Lin Xun remembered that when he first entered the world of Blood Sun, the novice body given by the underworld game contained the "Guardian Knight" and "Priest".
The combat effectiveness of the two is very different, and is slightly stronger than the ordinary 'Destroyed Blood Sun Cultist'.
[‘Saint Lance’ is called the Land of Moonlight, and it is not under the control of the Burning Sun Faction like the Royal City. 】
[All churches in the kingdom are the ‘Church of Divine Light’, only the churches in the Royal City and St. Reims are named after the blazing sun and the white moon...]
He frowned, vaguely feeling something was wrong.
After thinking about it for a long time, I felt that there was nothing wrong with it.
He felt that this easter egg chapter revealed a strange and weird atmosphere, but he couldn't describe exactly what was weird.
When the power of the church was far away, Lin Xun remained invisible, staying at the must-see place at the gate of the city, fishing silently.
Because it is in 'killing mode', as long as the apostle does not turn on the stealth skill, a circle of eye-catching 'intruder light and shadow' will be generated on the body surface.
If you see a red light flashing on the person entering the city, it means that the other person is a hostile apostle.
------------------
Shang Xiaoyuan is one of the few fourth-difficulty apostles among those running for the twelfth disciple.
It's not that he can't advance to the fifth level of difficulty, it's just that he entered the game too late, and clearing the fourth level of difficulty before the disciple campaign is already his limit.
If he could be given another month or two, Shang Xiaoyuan believed that with his talent, he would be able to conquer the fifth level of difficulty.
His talent is called "Absolute Luck". This almost cheating talent is not only reflected in the monster explosion rate, but also in the blind box opening, and even in the options given by the game!
With the unwavering support of Brother ‘Fisherman’ and Lord ‘Bashir’, his soul talent level has been upgraded to 5.
Every time you kill a mob, the monster will drop the highest quality props and equipment.
Only when fighting BOSS, because the talent has not been fully upgraded, the explosion rate will be reduced.
But this does not affect Shang Xiaoyuan's rocket-like upgrade speed at all!
Because "absolute luck" is also reflected in the game options, he can always choose the most suitable option by tossing a coin or rolling dice.
You can even trigger many hidden plots and hidden maps inadvertently, thereby obtaining extremely generous rewards.
The last chapter he cleared was the nightmare chapter with difficulty level 4. He earned a double S-level rating with his "absolutely lucky" soul talent!
According to Brother Fisherman, the double-S evaluation in the nightmare chapter is difficult even for Lord Bashir to achieve...
Being able to obtain a double S rating in the nightmare chapter of difficulty four, his strength is already much higher than that of an ordinary apostle of difficulty five.
The fisherman brother told him that when entering the easter egg chapter of the disciple election, the only thing he needed to be careful about were the apostles with difficulty level six.
Two of those apostles have the strength to advance to the seventh difficulty level, but they are still stuck at the sixth level. They don't even join the Presbyterian Church, just to compete for the spot of the last disciple.
The fisherman's eldest brother treated him better than his own younger brother, so Shang Xiaoyuan naturally obeyed the fisherman's advice.
Therefore, he was extra cautious after entering the Easter egg chapter and explored the area called 'Deep Forest' for a long time, during which he also successfully killed a Level 5 apostle.
However, there seems to be something wrong with the easter egg chapter this time.
All apostles whose bodies die will die continuously in the death penalty, leading to the annihilation of their souls.
Shang Xiaoyuan immediately reported this situation to Lord Bashir.
As a result, he saw Lord Bashir losing his temper for the first time.
Master Bashir said that the original plan was that it would be best if he could obtain the position of disciple.
If you don't get the maximum number of kills, it doesn't matter even if the body dies several times. As long as you can survive the end event of the Easter egg chapter, you can escape unscathed. Although you can't become the twelfth disciple, you can still join the Presbyterian Church in advance.
.
But there seems to be a problem with the easter egg bookmark provided by the Lord. Once the body of the candidate apostle dies, his soul will be annihilated indiscriminately.
Lord Bashir has reported the situation to the Lord, but there has been no reply from the Lord.
Under such a situation, Lord Bashir could only contact all parties to seek a rare 'escape bookmark'.
With the 'Escape Bookmark', he can escape from the Easter egg chapter and save his life at the moment his body dies.
It's just that there are a large number of apostles running for election, and most of them have the support of the Presbyterian Church or other disciples.
With so many candidates in need of the rare 'Escape Bookmark', where can Lord Bashir find him a 'Escape Bookmark'?
This is the third time Shang Xiaoyuan has tossed a coin.
The front of the coin says 'yes' in black marker and the reverse says 'no'.
Three consecutive coin tosses result in 'no'.
And the option he faced was [Do you want to enter the moonlight land of ‘Saint Lance’? 】
Looking at the dwindling number of candidates, Shang Xiaoyuan knew that if he did not enter 'Saint Lance', he would have no chance of becoming the twelfth disciple.
Master Bashir said that there was no harm in not becoming the twelfth disciple. As long as he could enter the Presbyterian Church, he would be able to succeed sooner or later with his talent.
However, if he had not won the position of disciple, how could he be worthy of the fisherman brother's hopeful gaze...
Shang Xiaoyuan took a deep breath, and for the first time, he went against his natural choice and pressed the 'Yes' option to enter 'Saint Lance'.
He believes that the goddess of luck is still on his side!
