Chapter 31: Odds of winning

The prepared potion was poured into the container to cool down. Su Xiao picked up the container and looked at the semi-fluid potion. The potion was dark red and had a strong sense of ominousness.

This is a potion prepared using [Old Dragon Essence] as the main material. It was originally going to be called "Dragon Soul Secret Potion", but now, it is more appropriate to call it "Evil Dragon Potion".

The location of [Old Dragon Essence] was provided by the evil heart. It is located in a very dark cave deep in the "Ashes of the End". When the demon spirit incarnate found the old dragon, it had been dead for several years. Dragons of this strength

, within ten years after death, the dragon's blood and soul essence will not decay. This process will only proceed gradually after 16 to 19 years.

Under normal circumstances, before the dragon's blood becomes corrupted, it will attract strange beasts with keen sense of smell to devour it. The extremely dark caves in the "Ashland" have special topography, forming a natural dark ring. This "old dragon essence"

” has only survived to this day.

But when the demon spirit incarnate found the old dragon's corpse, Su Xiao saw through the feedback from the monitoring device that this extremely powerful old dragon's blood was severely corrupted, its dragon skin was pale and rough, and it had long lost its energy.

The boy's hole is particularly turbid.

This is actually not an abnormality. This old dragon must have been seriously injured and hid in the "Ashland" to recuperate. Unexpectedly, he was too seriously injured and died as a result. Considering the cursed environment of this world, the corpses were like this

The changes are not surprising.

This "Old Dragon Essence" has a bonus effect. Direct absorption can permanently increase health by 120,000 points, but it will permanently reduce willpower by 20 points. 20 points of willpower are exchanged for 120,000 health points.

No matter how you look at it, you are making money.

The problem is that the evil heart has predicted the location of this "old dragon spirit", and the evil heart may have noticed that its sworn lord, the scarlet lord, is dead. Under such circumstances, the evil heart will be desperate.

Use any means necessary to break free from Su Xiao.

With the deceit and cunningness of the evil heart, he will definitely not try to escape from Su Xiao in a short period of time, but will plant hidden dangers again and again, such as this "Old Dragon Essence".

Or to put it another way, the evil heart predicts the "supreme life essence" as a junction point. Before this, the evil heart has always been afraid that its sworn lord, the scarlet lord, will come to find it, or that the lord of the past will suddenly pursue it.

Characters, after all, the behavior of alien beings in the void, no one can predict.

With these two threats present, it is a good thing to be restrained by Su Xiao. When the two come, the evil heart plans to hide with Su Xiao and let Su Xiao help it withstand it.

After Su Xiao obtained the "Supreme Life Essence", the Red Lord, the sworn Lord of the Evil Heart, died, and the Lord of the Old Days showed no signs of looking for its small role. In this way, Su Xiao became the Evil Heart and gained freedom.

's number one enemy.

What I have to say is that the selection of this "Old Dragon Essence" is indeed of a high standard. If Su Xiao hadn't pursued the quality of the potion and wanted to eliminate all the debuffs of the "Evil Dragon Potion", he would never have discovered the secrets hidden in this potion.

characteristic.

"Evil Dragon Potion" has a total of five versions. The first version of "Evil Dragon Potion" is:

"Permanently increase the health value by 85,000 points, and permanently reduce the willpower attribute by 1 point."

This made Su Xiao very dissatisfied, not only because the gain was reduced too much, but also because there were still debuffs. Fortunately, the deployment was not completed and could catalyze changes. This is why the second version was created.

"Permanently increase the health value by 100 points, and permanently reduce the willpower attribute by 0.1 points."

Su Xiao almost extracted all the beneficial parts of this potion. Even so, the 0.1% reduction in willpower was like gangrene attached to the bone and could not be removed no matter what. This made him realize one thing.

.

The ingredients of this potion are like a gourd balloon. The larger end is the gain, and the smaller end is the debuff. Even if you deflate the gain end, it will make the small end smaller, but it will not make it smaller.

The smaller end disappeared, and therefore, the "Evil Dragon Potion" had a third version:

"Permanently increase health by 210,000 points and permanently reduce willpower attribute by 50 points."

As expected, the gain and debuff of this potion were connected. Su Xiao improved the gain characteristics at all costs, but a large number of expected debuff characteristics did not appear. The dozens of expected debuffs were all replaced by the word "reduction of willpower".

This debuff is swallowed up.

Yes, it is swallowing. This is not an adjective. It is the debuff characteristic of this potion, which corresponds to some kind of living creature that is particularly difficult to detect. Su Xiao tried to use a microscope to observe it to the greatest extent, but still did not notice anything.

, so he uses contract testing instead.

Take the side effects of this potion as the price of a contract, and then use the "Contract Code" to determine the characteristics of this price. The final result is:

Creeping, erosion, parasitism, discipline.

Based on the three characteristics of creeping + erosion + parasitism, we can basically judge that this is a living creature. Let’s call it a hidden leech. The reason is that this kind of living creature will absorb the host’s willpower like a leech sucking blood.

The key is the last "commandment" feature, which means that as long as you don't drink this potion, the hidden leeches in this potion will definitely not take the initiative to invade. I can only say that you are lucky this time. There is no risk in preparing this potion, as long as you don't drink it.

, and therefore, the fifth version of this potion was created.

"Permanently increase the health value by 620,000 points, permanently reduce the willpower attribute by 150 points, and have a high probability of causing the willpower attribute to continue to decline for a period of time."

After Su Xiao discovered that hidden leeches had the property of devouring negative effects, he simply stopped using potion materials with life characteristics to enhance the "evil dragon potion". It was too expensive. He used various types of medicines that were a hundred times cheaper than materials with life characteristics, but had strong side effects.

Materials to enhance "Evil Dragon Potion".

Su Xiao looked at the attractive rose-red potion in her hand. In some cases, using this thing to deal with the enemy is more effective than poison, especially when playing against a big force and trying to get rid of a high-level person of this big force.

member time.

After thinking for a moment, Su Xiao started mixing again, this time adding extremely powerful drugs, and finally got the fifth version of "Evil Dragon Potion".

"Permanently increase the upper limit of life span by 10%, permanently increase health points by 300,000 points, permanently reduce the current willpower attribute by 30% + 150 points, and have a high probability of causing the willpower attribute to continue to decline for a period of time."

Of course, this thing cannot be sold as a buff potion. After taking this into consideration, I contacted Caesar and asked him to help 'buff' it, which means to make "permanently increase the life limit by 10% and permanently increase the health value by 300,000 points" more obvious.

The part that deducts willpower becomes almost imperceptible and can only be seen by notarizing it through the Void Tree or the Paradise camp and checking the attributes.

I originally planned to get rid of the evil heart in the near future, but now it seems that I might as well postpone it. Take this bottle of "Evil Dragon Potion" as an example. If a high-level member of a hostile force drinks this thing, the destructive power it will cause will be greater than the direct poison.

A dead opponent is a hundred times stronger.

As for relying on high willpower to resist the debuff of this thing, there is no such possibility. This is to eat through the willpower. In the future, the hidden leech will continue to suck the host's willpower, causing the host to have negative willpower.

By then, the host's behavior will be unpredictable, sometimes angry, sometimes crazy, sometimes with spreading desires, sometimes cruel and bloodthirsty.

Baha flew in from the window and brought back a wooden box. After opening it, there was a precision core the size of a marble. Su Xiao took out the "Mysterious Eye", and the "Mysterious Eye" began to resonate with the core and flew away on its own.

It unfolds, absorbs the core into it with a click, and then closes it.

Buzz~

The "Mysterious Eye" made a violent buzzing sound, with dense rune structures lighting up on it, and then subsided after a moment.

The "Mysterious Eye" fell into Su Xiao's hands, and it seemed that there was no change. After studying for a while, he felt the improvement of the "Mysterious Eye", first of all, the detection, unlocking and other functions were greatly improved. Even he developed

"Swirling Flashbang Mode", the effect is enhanced more than a hundred times.

It used to emit a strong light that could make people feel severe pain, but now it directly shocks the body and soul. Even with Su Xiao's current body and soul strength, it would take a long time to be hit. The only problem is that this function is useless.

.

The flash bomb is useful, but it can be useless if you add the spin feature. What's even more deceiving is that this spin has a strong tracking effect. As long as Su Xiao throws it, no matter how fast he evades it, the spin flash bomb mode

The mysterious eyes under him will track accurately to ensure that it will explode in front of his eyes.

As for the other functions of the "Mysterious Eye", he still has to develop it himself. Perhaps those masters of alchemical mechanics did not even consider it when making this thing. After this thing fell into the hands of an alchemical potion master,

, what kind of scene it will be.

Su Xiao came to the basement of this building, where Amu had dug a shaft and built an elevator. He took the elevator down and went several hundred meters underground before the elevator stopped.

This is an underground space of more than ten square meters. The whole is semicircular, like a large upside-down bowl. The walls are made of a kind of gray-white chitin. This special chitin has a strong load-bearing capacity.

Densely packed sealing techniques were engraved on the surrounding walls. After checking that there was no problem with these engravings, Su Xiao took the elevator back the same way. As soon as he returned to the bedroom on the third floor, Baha said:

"Boss, the demon has arrived at the Eternal Clock."

"..."

Su Xiao sat on a wooden chair and looked at the projected picture. The demon spirit incarnate stood on a pale land. A black and blue bell thousands of meters high was hung in the sky by a thick chain. The clouds and mist were eternity.

There is flow above the big clock, and when you look at the big clock from below, there is chaos inside the big clock.

A few hours ago, the incarnation of the demon spirit arrived at Smile Town on Skeleton Island. As a result, the demon spirit failed to penetrate here. The weird people here were very powerful. As a price, more than 80% of them were killed by the demon spirit.

In the end, the demon spirit incarnated in an old house in Smile Town and found a secret passage deep underground. After arriving 10,000 meters underground in Smile Town, there was a passage made of bones. Follow the passage of bones for more than ten kilometers.

After taking the elevator at the end, the demon finally arrived at the secret island corresponding to the hidden mission.

There is a dilapidated ruins on this secret island. In the center of the ruins is a tall stone tablet, which records the method of activating the "Eternal Clock". To be more precise, the "Eternal Clock" is actually a test.

There are three stone tablets recording the secret of the "Eternal Clock". One is on the "Island of Bones" and should have been found and destroyed by the priest. The other is on the secret island, and the last one is on the second floor of the dungeon in "Yuhui Town".

Keeped by the spirits of darkness.

The reason why I know this is that there is a dead body near the stone monument on the secret island. Inside the bear skin package of the dead body, there is a notebook that records the experience of the dead body. This is a pilgrim who escaped midway, and the guilt of running away.

, allowing him to travel around the world and write down this precious notebook, and when he was about to take it back to Ash City to atone for his sins, he died on the secret island at the last stop.

The demon spirit incarnated and went to the secret island. Of course, he also used the "cursed index finger" to open the "hidden mechanism" on the secret island. Through the prompts that appeared, Su Xiao knew what was sealed in the underground palace of this mechanism. It was from this world.

Big boss: The huge cursed devourer.

There used to be two major forces in this world, the Ancient Soul Temple and the Glory Temple. Now this huge curse devourer is the last leader of the Ancient Soul Temple. There are even rumors that this person is responsible for the intensification of the curse.

[Hidden mission·Root of the curse·Final link.]

Difficulty level:Lv.95++++

Mission introduction: You need to hold this "cursed index finger" to go to the cursed land, the sea of ​​decayed blood, and the secret island, and open the hidden mechanisms on the island.

Task period: 10 calendar days.

Task reward: determined based on the final cumulative completion.

Mission punishment: forced execution.



According to the process, you should go to the underground palace of the agency and kill the big boss of this world, the huge cursed devourer. The problem is that this big boss has more than 170 levels, and the demon is only level 90 now. Even if you add the hidden level 60,

It's only level 150, and with the bonus of the environment on this big boss, it's impossible to defeat the demon incarnation.

Unless the incarnation of the demon spirit completes the test of the "Eternal Clock", it is impossible to challenge the huge cursed devourer. Therefore, Su Xiao has no intention of letting the demon spirit incarnate challenge the huge cursed devourer. The hidden mission only requires unlocking all the things on the secret island.

There is a hidden mechanism, and there is no requirement to defeat this big boss.

Facts have proved that Su Xiao's judgment was correct and the mission was indeed completed. However, the completion rate of this final step was as high as -1132.65%.

From the first ring to the fifth ring of this mission, the completion rate of each ring is very high, with an average of more than 240%. The problem is that the highlight of this mission is to open the hidden mechanism of the secret island, and then within a limited time,

Kill the big boss, the huge Cursed Devourer.

Su Xiao omitted this link, which also meant that he released the big boss who was originally trapped in the underground palace of the agency, and then the magical task completion rate of -1132.65% appeared.

In the end, Su Xiao completed this hidden mission with an astonishing mission completion rate of 2.65%.

[You have completed the hidden mission·The root of the curse.]

[You get a cursed treasure chest (after opening it, there is a 1% probability of receiving benefits and a 99% probability of receiving the curse). 】



Su Xiao didn't care about the loss caused by the destruction of the hidden mission. Compared with the subsequent gains in this world, this loss was nothing. He looked at the incarnation of the demon spirit in the projection and knew that the time had come. He pulled out the sword from its sheath.

Dragon Flash, insert it into the summoning array on the ground.

At the same time, near the Eternal Bell, the demon spirit incarnate used a long crystal knife to outline a talisman in the air, and struck the talisman with a virtual slash. The slashing light expanded accordingly, and struck the Eternal Bell with a clang.

Suddenly, the surrounding area was shaken by the earthquake, and the long bells dispersed the clouds and fog. After a few minutes, the surrounding area gradually became quiet.

The silence only lasted for a moment, and the ground began to vibrate slightly. Looking from above, countless cursed people swarmed in from the surroundings, surrounding the demon incarnation.

Zheng!

The ring-shaped black flames spread, and all the cursed people within a kilometer around were cut into two pieces. Almost at the same time, the demon spirit transformed into wood and died. This is a situation that only occurs after being deeply cursed.

These cursed people have a characteristic. As long as they are killed, their curse will spread to the killer along with the cause and effect, accumulating the curse value. Once the curse value reaches 100%, they will die immediately.

In other words, the demon spirit transformed into a ring slash, killing itself for a second.

At the same time that the demon spirit's incarnation died, in the bedroom on the third floor of the safe zone, Su Xiao activated the summoning array and pulled out Dragon Slaying Flash from it. Black and blue smoke emerged, and the demon spirit was summoned back. Before the demon spirit could have any chance,

After reacting, he was suppressed again and then retracted into the Dragon-Slaying Flash.

[Your combat avatar has died, and you will suffer corresponding losses.]

[Tip: The original owner of this avatar has been verified, but you are not the actual controller of this avatar. When this avatar dies, it will not be fully related to your judgment.]

[The judgment is completed, the demonic strength of the blade demon is permanently reduced by 10 points.]



Su Xiao was not surprised by this result. He went to the fourth floor and put away the four cores on the four formations in sequence. In fact, three cores were enough, but just in case, he got an extra core.

pieces.

Arriving at the second floor where the teleportation array was set up, Su Xiao stopped in front of the teleportation array. The reason why she did not use the "Destruction Teleportation Array" this time, but used expensive conventional long-distance teleportation array materials, was to ensure that the transmission process was sufficient.

To enhance this, he also increased the transmission time from 5 seconds to 30 seconds.

Open the map, and the appearance of the map has been greatly modified. The gray area represents the "curse spreading area", the black area represents the "abyss erosion area", and the rust-colored area represents the "mechanical pollution area".

The center areas of these three major areas have all been set up by Baha. Su Xiao first adjusted the scale of the remote teleportation array to the coordinates corresponding to the "curse spreading area". After activating it, he moved the half-meter-thick and three-meter-high cylinder

Shape device, teleport to this area.

After 30 seconds of transmission, the cylindrical device arrived on the gravel floor of the secret island. It unfolded immediately after landing. The array inside spread out to form an array several hundred meters in diameter. If you look closely, you will find that this

It is an array that condenses the power of the world.

This world is being invaded by the abyss. The darkness of the abyss is invading, causing this dead world to have almost endless world power. To put it simply, once the overflowing world power in this world is consumed, it will immediately pass through the abyss.

Energy transforms into new world power.

But there is a problem. The power of the world in this world has negative characteristics, which is why the curse and mechanical pollution have spread to this extent.

Now that this world power condensed array appears in the area with the highest concentration of the curse, the result is that the massive outflow of world power causes the intensity of the curse here to continue to rise, gradually turning from its original invisible form into a gray mist.

, this is not only a quantitative improvement, but also a qualitative change.

Similar to this place, there is a condensed array of world power that appears deep in the "Forest of Corruption". This has also caused the degree of mechanical pollution here to increase at a speed visible to the naked eye. The originally semi-metallic trees have begun to turn rusty.

Mottled marks.

In front of the teleportation array on the second floor of the safe zone, Su Xiao's plan certainly doesn't stop there. This is just an appetizer. He is crying about the Black Nest, the Eternal Clock, and the Ashes, each placing a giant "Power of the World"

Condensed Array Diagram".

With this foundation, he opened the "Book of Original Sin", peeled off the sealed "Scarlet Scepter" from it, and completely released its seal. That was asking for death, so he spent several days cultivating it.

The crystal core wraps the "Scarlet Scepter".

Arriving at the teleportation array, he let go of the "Scarlet Scepter" wrapped in crystals as he activated the teleportation.

At this moment, above the Ash-End Land, the "Scarlet Scepter" suddenly appeared, falling vertically, and Kacha inserted it into the center of the "World Power Condensation Array". After a brief silence, traces of scarlet energy spread out, and next

Second.

boom!

A massive amount of scarlet energy spreads to the surrounding area. It is as spectacular as the surging sea of ​​scarlet. Open the real-time map to see that the western area of ​​the world is quickly infected with scarlet.

This is not the end yet. Su Xiao peeled off the "Sun Mask" from the "Book of Original Sin", still wrapped it with the crystal core, and sent it to the "World Power Condensation Array" in the Eternal Clock area.

At this time, in the center of the world, the "Sun Mask" was still a few meters above the ground. The golden color representing the blazing sun gradually turned into a darker golden red representing distortion under the nourishment of the power of the world, just like the rich blazing sun.

of blood.

Compared to the four surges of scarlet, the distorted blazing sun simply formed a dark red sun in the sky. Everything in the place it enveloped began to become distorted. Even the Eternal Clock began to seep magma and began to distort.

In front of the teleportation array in the safe zone, after Su Xiao confirmed that the distorted blazing sun was stable, he once again peeled off the "Netherworld Bone Ring" from the "Book of Original Sin" because the relationship with the "Netherworld Bone Ring" was indifferent, which was different from the relationship with the "Netherworld Bone Ring".

The relationship between "Scarlet Scepter" and "Sun Mask" is extremely bad, so we did not choose to strengthen the sealed version of the crystal core.

Applying a seal to the crystal core to avoid the invasion of original sin objects at critical moments is one of the reasons for raising the seal science to Lv.93 this time.

After checking, Su Xiao placed the "Netherworld Bone Ring" wrapped in the crystal core using a remote teleportation array onto the "World Power Condensation Array" located in the "Crying Black Nest".

As soon as the transmission was completed, Su Xiao discovered that the dark green on the map began to spread. Compared to the scarlet and distorted blazing sun, the netherworld's situation was not fierce, but it spread extremely fast.

At this time, the Nether Fog is spreading in the area.

"Roar!

"

The former Black Nest creatures were now running wildly to the surroundings. After they rushed out of the Netherworld Mist, the Netherworld Mist began to appear on their bodies, causing the Netherworld Mist left along the way to spread at a very fast speed.

A black nest creature that had been eroded to the point of madness rushed into a large gathering place of scavengers. These scavengers usually eat everything. Humans, nightmare tribes, and all kinds of ferocious beasts are their meals. But at this moment

, after a black nest creature infected by the netherworld rushed into this gathering place of scavengers, there was a burst of angry shouting, and then it was quiet.

After about a few seconds of silence, a scavenger raised its head and roared in mourning. Its eyes glowed with a permeating green childish light, and its body was filled with mist of the netherworld.

In just ten seconds, in this gathering place of scavengers, which covers an area almost half the size of Yuhui City, the mist of the netherworld began to emerge from every exit. Amidst the hoarse roars, a scavenger whose body was filled with the mist of the netherworld began to scream.

The Rotten Clan rushed out from every exit of this gathering place, causing the Netherworld to spread faster.

What is really scary is the "Crying Black Nest", the spreading center point of the Nether Fog, which is not far from the secret island in the center of the curse. Therefore, Nether quickly came into contact with the curse. There was no mutual erosion as imagined, but the curse was absorbed by Nether.

Assimilated, this allows the Netherworld to spread over half of the cursed area at a faster speed. The Netherworld in this world has officially become the Netherworld Curse.

Similar to the one here, there is also mechanical pollution assimilated by the blazing sun. An energy called distortion pollution begins to spread rapidly.

Of course, neither the curse of the netherworld nor the aberration pollution has the right to change the characteristics of the "Netherworld Bone Ring" and the "Sun Mask". These two big daddy-level original sin objects are still pure "networld" and "fiery sun".

It's just that in order to facilitate the spread in this world, the original negative energy of this world was temporarily assimilated.

Scarlet is relatively pure, but it spreads faster and faster. Wherever it passes, the earth turns dark red and the sky seems to be burning.

An even more outrageous scene appeared on the secret island. The big boss of this world, the huge cursed devourer, who had just broken through the giant gate of the underground palace, was currently suffering from the underworld curse. Painful faces appeared on its huge body.

, after letting out an unwilling roar, the huge Cursed Devourer was unable to continue to surge forward.

This big boss who used to feed on curses was eroded to death by the Netherworld Curse. This shows how terrifying the Netherworld Curse is. A combat incarnation that is immune to conventional curses is even less able to resist the Netherworld Curse.

At this time, in front of the teleportation array in the safe zone, Su Xiao put away the "Book of Original Sin", took Fanny, Bubwang, Eminem, Baha, and Beni, took the elevator to the basement, and arrived a few hundred meters underground.

In the shelter that had been prepared long ago.

The layers of sealing techniques here are activated, completely sealing this sanctuary. This is the main purpose of raising the sealing science to Lv.93, which is to survive the subsequent spread of scarlet, aberration pollution, and the nether curse until this competition.

The war is over.

Sitting on the carpet on the ground, Su Xiao began to maintain the stability of the hundreds of thousands of seals. Fanny, who was holding her knees with her arms, had a dull look. No wonder she was like this. The warning reminder in front of her had already

Start refreshing the screen.

If you open the world contact platform, you will find that the situation is more lively. Click on the contact list of the world contact platform. The color of the avatar and name is normal, which means that you are still in this world. The dark color means that you have given up on this round of competition and went to the teleportation transfer station to wait.

Being gray represents death.

In the contact list, the avatars have become dim in color, and nearly half of the participants have chosen to give up this round of competition. It is not that they have experienced the power of scarlet and aberration pollution in such a short period of time. The curse of the netherworld has spread too fast.

It has spread to Ash City, and all the residents here have left for the Lord Continent. The unmaintained defensive boundary has been eroded through in a short period of time.

Yuhui City will no longer exist, and the notarization based on this city will naturally become a castle in the air. Therefore, what really makes these participants willing to give up is the small safe areas that are about to disappear.

Zelina (Apocalypse Paradise): "In the white night, the scarlet outside, the aberration pollution, the curse of the netherworld, teammates can't avoid being hurt."

Brother Shui (Death Paradise): "You can be brave and try."

Goddess (Holy Light Paradise): "Why do everyone think that the night of beheading must have caused the current situation?"

Ying Qin (Paradise of Death): "It's very simple, because all the violators except the Moon Witch and the Four Brothers who were dissatisfied have been withdrawn. You can understand that we are being implicated by the violators."

Luingad (Holy Light Paradise): "The priest obtained four pieces of "Broken Origin" this round, but decisively gave up and left the field, so everyone, I will leave first, and you continue to hold on."

Soul Master (Apocalypse Paradise): "The safe area is disappearing. Everyone, see you in the next round."

Goddess (Holy Light Paradise): "When I reached the extremely powerful level, fighting for it was so outrageous. In order not to die here, I gave up."

Bee: "(′???`)"
