[You take the ‘Yi Sending Mole Cricket’ and return to ‘Katydid City’...]
[As soon as the abdominal membranes on both sides are opened, the cold wind blows in together with the snowflakes.]
[You jump out of your belly, and the thick snow reaches your calves. There is no crunching sound when you step on it, and there is no feeling of stepping on something real. Only the cold and cold feeling lingers. 】
[You reach out to hold up a handful of snow, and it is bitingly cold in your hands. The texture of the ice and snow is as light as a feather, not as heavy as ordinary snow.]
[You look at the ruins of the city in the distance again, and the white snow fills the entire underground space. 】
[The masonry and rubble in the ruins are covered with snow, adding a mottled and desolate color to the snow-white world.]
[You recall the huge shadow you saw last time you escaped from ‘Katydid City’...]
[You look at the sky in the vast underground space. The blizzard has obscured most of your sight, preventing you from seeing the stone wall at the top of the city. 】
[The place where the huge shadow once floated is now empty. 】
[Do you want to head towards the center of ‘Katydid City’ and go to the ‘Bicui Sacrificial Site’? 】
The body that Lin Xun is currently using is still the 'Echoed Brutal Warden'.
It's not that he wanted to die on purpose, it was just an attempt.
Not long after staying in the blizzard, he received a prompt from the underworld game.
[You accept the baptism of the ‘Pilgrimage Angel’, and the success rate of your next feather promotion will increase slightly!]
Lin Xunyi frowned.
"Pilgrimage Angel?"
He felt that this term was somewhat familiar and quickly looked through the previous text.
‘Nightmare Yuri’ mentioned in his speech that the rebels were punished in the blizzard baptism. After the angels finish their tour, the blizzard will subside, and the remaining feathered ones can return to the ruins of the city and rebuild the city...
The 'angel' mentioned in his words should be the 'preaching angel'.
"According to this, it is the baptism of the 'Pilgrimage Angel' that causes the 'White Velvet Snow Season'."
"The wet nurse's genetic weapon comes from the 'Pilgrimage Angel'!"
[You accept the baptism of the ‘Pilgrimage Angel’, and the success rate of your next feather promotion will increase slightly!]
[Please note that your baptism has reached the critical value. If you continue to undergo baptism, you will fall into madness...]
In order to verify his conjecture, Lin Xun immediately switched bodies.
[You are possessed by the body of ‘The Greedy Wolf Star Lord of Desire’! 】
I stood in the blizzard for a long time and did not receive any prompts from the underworld game.
As he expected, the ones targeted by 'White Velvet Snow Season' were indeed alienated people.
Although the Ascendant can benefit from the baptism, if the dose is too high, even a powerful Ascended One such as the 'Warden' cannot bear it.
However, the body of Greedy Wolf Star Lord does not belong to this world and has no relevant life factor creation target, so 'White Velvet Snow Season' is ineffective against Star Lord's body.
Thinking of this, he was suddenly shocked.
Lin Xun once sacrificed a body prefixed with "worshiping fire" to his wet nurse.
If the 'White Velvet Snow Season' is a targeted genetic weapon, will the wet nurse who has obtained the fire-worshiping life factor use this to add something more to the snowflakes?
[You are possessed by the body of the ‘Fire Worshiping Ninja Master’! 】
[You stand quietly in the snowstorm, feeling the biting cold...]
After waiting for a long time, Lin Xun breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that nothing unusual appeared.
"Why are you scaring yourself when you are fine?"
I don't know if the wet nurse didn't target him deliberately or if she didn't have time to crack the life factor of Fire Worship. In short, 'White Velvet Snow Season' has no side effects on the body prefixed with Fire Worship.
He changed back into Xingjun's body and continued exploring.
[You step on the snow and gradually approach the ruins of the city...]
[As you continue to move forward, you find that there are many messy footprints on the snow. After lingering, these footprints all point in the same direction in an orderly manner. 】
[The footprints extend towards the center of the city until the end of sight.]
[You can imagine the scene at that time based on the footprints...]
[A group of crazy feathered ones are wandering here. They are walking aimlessly and slowly, not caring about the snowflakes dancing in the sky. 】
[Suddenly they seemed to feel something. They stopped and looked at the center of the city. Then they took steps towards what attracted them in the center of the city. 】
[Do you want to continue towards the center of ‘Katydid City’ and go to the ‘Bicui Sacrificial Site’? 】
Lin Xun narrowed his eyes, feeling a vague premonition in his heart.
It's probably not as easy as imagined to get back the 'Sacrificial Emblem'.
[You continue to move forward in the snowstorm, gradually approaching the city center...]
【……】
[After traveling for a long time, you finally see from a distance the only intact building standing among the ruins - the 'Bicui Sacrificial Ground'. 】
[The sacrificial site, which looks like a spire church, is surrounded by countless crazy feathered ones. They wander blindly around the sacrificial site, but do not enter it. 】
[Many shriveled corpses of the Emeralds were lying on the ground, like mummies that had been dried out of flesh and blood and weathered for a long time. 】
[The most eye-catching thing is not the numerous feathered ones who have fallen into madness, but the huge shadow lying on top of the sacrificial site...]
[The two pairs of scaly wings of the terrifying creature hide from the sky and the sun, completely covering the sacrificial site in the shadow of the scales. 】
[It flaps its scale wings and stirs up the shrill cold wind. As its wings vibrate, countless 'snowflakes' peel off from its scale wings and fly away to form a blizzard. 】
[You finally realize that the snowflakes in ‘White Velvet Snow Season’ are not real snowflakes, but the velvety scale powder of this terrifying creature in front of you! 】
【You discovered the ‘Ecstatic Pilgrimage Angel’! 】
[The 'Pilgrimage Angel' that looks like a giant butterfly lowers its ferocious head, and its extremely long piercing and sucking thrust instantly pierces into the body of an Emerged One. 】
[In the blink of an eye, the feathered person was sucked into a mummy without any resistance. 】
[The 'Pilgrimage Angel' let out a deafening scream, flapped its wings, and the blizzard seemed to become more violent...]
[Are you going to attack the feathered ones surrounding the sacrificial site and have a life-and-death showdown with the 'Pilgrimage Angel', or are you going to directly enter the 'Bicui Sacrificial Ground'? 】
"Damn, what kind of Mothra is this?"
I don’t know what the specific strength of this ‘Pilgrimage Angel’ in the distance is, but just because it can create ‘White Velvet Snow Season’, it will definitely not be an easy BOSS to deal with.
[You are possessed by the body of the ‘original hermit seeking knowledge’! 】
In the past, because the little dragon people had not mastered the art of transformation, it was easy to cause inconvenience to look like a dragon head and a human body, so it was not suitable to appear in many situations.
Since the improvement of the art of transformation, the dragonman's non-transformation state has begun to take on a human look. Although it is a bit ugly, it can be used freely during exploration or PK.
Another sorcery skill, the "Qi-Wang Technique", has also been improved.
Lin Xun happened to test the effect of the detection skill before the BOSS noticed him.
Click on the skill bar and use the 'Qi-Wang Technique'.
[You gather the ‘Long Yin Power’ into your eyes and look into the distance...]
[A thick black smoke rises from the body of the 'Pilgrimage Angel', the color is extremely black, like the smoke of a beacon...]
[And the many crazy emerging ones are curling up with white smoke, so dim that they seem to be nothing...]
The 'Qi-Wang Technique' will display different colors according to the strength of the enemy and ourselves.
White smoke means the enemy is weaker than you, black smoke means the enemy is stronger than you.
There is also a kind of red smoke, which means that the two sides are similar in strength and are at the level of 50-50 or 40-60. Whether they win or lose depends on their on-the-spot performance.
The color depth of the smoke represents the difference between strength and weakness. For small fish monsters such as the Fish Eider, the white smoke is extremely sparse and dim, which means that the enemy is here to give away experience.
The thick black smoke on the body of the 'Pilgrimage Angel' means that its strength far exceeds that of the dragon man, at least by a large margin beyond the dragon man in the non-transformed state.
"...Really, I complained about the difficulty of the map in the early stage."
"This is great. The underworld game immediately gave me a big kick."
Lin Xun thought about it for a moment and realized that being tough was not a good strategy, so he had to be smart.
First enter the sacrificial site and get the ‘sacrificial emblem’.
[You are possessed by the body of the ‘Fire Worshiping Ninja Master’! 】
[You turned around, opened a pair of dark eyes, and disappeared without a trace...]
[You are careful not to make the slightest sound, and slowly approach the ‘Bicui Sacrificial Site’...]
【……】
[You are gradually approaching the sacrificial site, and also approaching the encirclement of the feathered ones...]
[The feathered ones with crazy eyes crowded into a group and gathered around the sacrificial site without leaving any gaps. Even the gate of the sacrificial site was blocked tightly. 】
【If you want to enter the sacrificial site, you must first deal with them.】
【Do you want to launch an attack?】
Lin Xun knew that he couldn't bear to let the child catch the wolf.
At the moment, I can only use the very familiar tactic of diverting the tiger away from the mountain.
He was preparing to evacuate and summoned the "Valkyrie" to lure away the monsters.
Suddenly I saw the display text of the underworld game...
[As you gradually approached the sacrificial site, you didn’t notice that although you remained invisible, your footprints left on the snow were extremely eye-catching as you approached...]
[The footprints of the other feathered ones were covered and faded under the fresh snowstorm, but only your newly left footprints are extremely conspicuous. 】
[The 'Ecstatic Parading Angel' suddenly raises its head and looks at you, its huge compound eyes reflecting countless footprints.]
[It emits an ear-splitting scream, the sound is so sharp and harsh that you can’t help but cover your ears, feeling dizzy...]
[When you are in a daze, a needle-like mouthpart like a dragon spear stabs at you!]
[You were unable to resist, and all the blood was sucked out of you in the blink of an eye, and you fell to the ground and turned into a mummy...]
【……】
【you are dead!】
【……】
[The powerful wandering soul is reborn in a capsule full of mucus...]
[You are on the second floor of the ancient lair...]
"I'm a star, you're a star!"
Lin Xun couldn't help but curse.
Being discovered through the invisible state was not the most fatal aspect. What he never expected was that this BOSS actually had control skills.
Ninja Master, a crispy and high-attack assassin, was easily killed by the BOSS after falling into a controlled state.
"Game of Hell, do you think this can stump me?"
After some thought, he came up with a way to enter the sacrificial site.
Lin Xungang was about to leave the ancient lair and go to 'Katydus City' again to attack the BOSS.
Suddenly something occurred to me, so instead of leaving directly, I went to the third floor of the lair first.
On the third floor of the lair, the friendly sworn character ‘Franda the Oathbreaker’ is still trapped here in a half-human, half-insect appearance, showing no signs of leaving.
"I hope I'm overthinking it."
He originally wanted to ask Frenda about the 'Pilgrimage Angel' and 'Nightmare Yuri'.
But after thinking about it, he decided not to act rashly, and turned around to leave without disturbing Flanda...
‘Nightmare Yuri’ once mentioned that the one who took over the rebuilt ‘Katydid City’ was ‘Flanda’, the wet nurse’s youngest and most beloved daughter.
Although Lin Xun didn't believe what 'Nightmare Yuri' said, he still kept an eye on it and didn't ask Flanda about it.
【……】
[You take the ‘Yi Sending Mole Cricket’ again and arrive at the ‘Katydid City’ where the sky is filled with snow…]
【……】
[As you move forward, you will soon see the ‘Ecstatic Pilgrimage Angel’ dormant at the top of the sacrificial site again. 】
[Many feathered beings still surround the sacrificial site. Compared with before, except for a few more mummies on the ground, there is nothing unusual. 】
[Whether it was the footprints you left before or those left by the Ascended Ones, they were all covered with flying snow at the source of the blizzard and disappeared. 】
[Are you going to attack the Ascended Ones surrounding the sacrificial site, attack the 'Pilgrimage Angels', or directly enter the 'Bicui Sacrificial Ground'? 】
Snowy terrain has the additional effect of breaking invisibility, and Ninja Master has no advantage here.
Lin Xun's original plan was to use the Valkyrie to distract the BOSS, but once the Pilgrimage Angel gained control skills, this became impossible.
Once the Valkyrie is released, the BOSS's set of control and output is enough to kill the Valkyrie in an instant, leaving no extra time for him to clear away the miscellaneous fish and enter the sacrificial site.
Among the many bodies, only the dragon man has the ability to resist control, the "Dream Seer Awakening".
You can change the method, use the dragon man to take the abyss lantern to lure away the BOSS, let the Valkyrie clear away the miscellaneous fish, and then enter the sacrificial site.
But Lin Xun was worried that inside the sacrificial site, there were options or exploration locations that the summoned beasts could not operate.
After much thought, he decided not to practice martial ethics.
"You're the only one who can control it, right?"
"Today I will show you what control is!"
[You are possessed by the body of the ‘Palace Master of Ixie Palace who worships fire’! 】
[You take out the 'fine copper sand mallet' and shake it gently, and the 'Battle Angel - Valkyrie' walks from the void! 】
[You wave the royal string to summon the shikigami...]
[A stunningly beautiful woman comes out of the air, surrounded by thunder and purple lightning that surges like a sea. The ‘nine-tailed fox that traces its origin’ appears in response to your call! 】
[You are possessed by the body of the ‘Knowledge-Seeking President’! 】
[Such a momentum attracted the attention of the ‘Echoed Pilgrimage Angel’ in the distance. It suddenly raised its head and was about to scream...]
[Under your command, the ‘nine-tailed fox’ held the magic ball, its clothes fluttering with the wind and snow...]
[‘Soul Seizing’ is activated! 】
[A divine thought struck the ‘Pilgrimage Angel’ among the lightning and flint stones.]
[Its shrieking sound was blocked before it could be heard, and even its continuously flapping wings stopped vibrating. 】
[At your command, the ‘Valkyrie’ raised her head to the sky and shot an arrow wrapped in golden thunder. 】
[The arrows instantly penetrated into the piles of feathered ones, turning into a chain of lightning that flashed continuously, blasting the crazy feathered ones into charcoal...]
[Your watchman defeated the 'feathered rebel soldier', and the experience value increased slightly...]
[Your watchmen defeated the 'feathered rebel soldiers'...]
【Your watchman...】
[‘Soul Seizing Soul’ failed to control the ‘Pilgrimage Angel’ for a long time. Its two pairs of scaly wings flapped again, and it seemed that it was about to regain consciousness...]
[You open one pink eye, and the special skill ‘Happy Smoke Vision’ is activated! 】
[The ‘Pilgrimage Angel’ fell into a state of stiffness again, dormant motionless on the top of the sacrificial site. 】
[The Valkyrie fired arrows continuously and quickly cleared away the feathered ones around the sacrificial site...]
Compared with the Nine-tailed Fox's 'Seize Soul', the control duration of 'Happy Smoke Vision' is slightly shorter.
Fortunately, before the 'Pilgrimage Angel' woke up, the nine-tailed fox added another shot of control.
Although the two control skills are powerful, they consume a lot of money. If you use them a few times, the blue bar will be exhausted.
While using control skills, Lin Xun ordered the Valkyrie and Nine-tailed Fox to attack the BOSS.
However, the BOSS named 'Pilgrimage Angel' is extremely difficult and has a very short health bar, making it impossible to kill it in a short time.
When the nine-tailed fox and the direct-looking president's blue bars are exhausted, it's time for the BOSS to counterattack.
When a set of control skills is released, except for him who can use the body of the little dragon to escape the disaster, the other summoned beasts will have to rest.
[You are possessed by the body of ‘The Greedy Wolf Star Lord of Desire’! 】
[You take advantage of the short gap when the 'Nine-tailed Fox' uses 'Soul Seizing' again to control the 'Pilgrimage Angel', stir up your true energy, turn your sword into a stream of light, and quickly arrive in front of the gate of the sacrificial site. 】
[At this time, the nine-tailed fox was exhausted and unable to float in the air. It could only fall to the ground. Even so, it still pointed at the calamity cloud and continuously dropped divine thunder to attack the enemy. 】
[At the top of the gate, the piercing and sucking mouthparts of the 'Pilgrimage Angel' hang there feebly.]
[Ignoring the sharp mouthparts, you quickly opened the door and entered...]
[You have entered the ‘Bicui Sacrificial Ground’! 】
The first thing Lin Xun did when entering the sacrificial site was to take back the Valkyrie and the nine-tailed fox.
"Damn, I finally got in. It's so exciting."
The ‘Bicui Sacrificial Site’ is the only building in the city that has not been destroyed.
The ‘Pilgrimage Angel’ is quietly dormant on the top of the sacrificial site and has never attacked or damaged the building, which shows that there must be something special about the sacrificial site.
The difficulty of the BOSS is ridiculously high. Being able to enter the sacrificial hall under the attack of the BOSS is already an extremely difficult task.
If he was still attacked after entering the sacrificial site, then there was nothing Lin Xun could do. He would die anyway, so it would be better if he didn't waste two points of soul strength.
