Chapter 13. The Altar
"Ahem, just listen to my instructions later. Ignore Xu Shengli, he won't accomplish anything."
"Um."
"Especially when destroying the altar, it is best to stay away from Xu Shengli. Once he is contaminated by evil energy, he will be our enemy, so you must be mentally prepared."
"Um."
"We are not in a hurry to get to the altar. There is a hidden defensive prop in the church. If we take this prop on the way, our safety will be guaranteed."
"Um."
"..."
Luo Yi rubbed his forehead. This woman became like a well-behaved little daughter-in-law. It was a bit unaccustomed to her. It seemed that she had a traditional and conservative personality. Well, such a person is indeed not too bad and has a kind-heartedness.
, worth dating, she can be cultivated into a loyal tool, but it is also a weakness.
After thinking about it, I realized something was wrong, so I stopped thinking and let nature take its course.
Soon after, Luo Yi took Xia Meilin, who was like a little daughter-in-law, to a collection-like room in the church and took away an oak round shield.
When they walked out of the church, Xia Meilin calmed down a little, but she still didn't dare to look at Luo Yi. She didn't want to be too silent, and she was curious about the round shield, so she asked in a low voice.
"What's so special about this oak buckler?"
"Did you notice the patterns on the shield?"
Luo Yi raised a round shield the size of a basketball and said: "These patterns are an ancient alchemical rune. As long as you hold it, you will have a passive skill that can resist the erosion of some evil energy. We will destroy the altar later."
It is useful. At the same time, once this round shield is hit hard, it will release a shield strike effect, reflecting three times the damage to the enemy. However, it can only be used once, and the round shield will be damaged and lose all its effects.
"
"You know a lot of things."
Xia Meilin was surprised that such an ordinary oak shield could have such a magical effect. She suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but ask: "Is it true that this small town hides many magical props?"
"Yes, because time is limited and the current props are enough to deal with trolls, so there is no need to look for other props."
Luo Yi said: "I told Xu Shengli before that trolls are the biggest enemies of trialists. Since they are enemies, they can be killed. Your real mission is actually to kill trolls. As for those who can kill trolls,
Most of the props have been hidden in the town, waiting for you to discover. For example, the energy stone is a prop on the surface, but you don't know the real use of the energy stone now. As for the old knight, he is the main force of the hidden battle.
A powerful tool man, but you need to explore and discover."
"It's a bit rude of you to call that old man a tool."
Seeing that Luo Yi was willing to explain so much information to her, Xia Meilin felt better, but she was a little uncomfortable referring to the old knight as a tool.
"It's best to put away unnecessary pity."
Luo Yi returned to his cold demeanor and said, "Otherwise it will become your fatal weakness."
"..."
Xia Meilin's originally good mood suddenly sank again. She felt that Luo Yi's ideas were different from her own, and she said a little stubbornly: "I just don't like to take advantage of others."
"He died this time. The next time you come here, you will still see him and repeat the exact same words."
Luo Yi said without emotion: "He is like an NPC in the game, an existence that can be infinitely refreshed, and a game character designed in infinite space. Do you feel pity for a game character countless times?"
Without waiting for Xia Meilin to respond, he said coldly: "Even if it happens now, in the future, a hundred times, but a thousand times, ten thousand times... you will still be like this? You will become numb."
"..."
Xia Meilin bit her red lips, really wanting to stop Luo Yi's inhumane words. The goodwill she had expected towards him suddenly fell into a very bad situation.
"for you."
Seeing a cemetery shrouded in red mist right in front of him, Luo Yi thrust the oak buckler into Xia Meilin's hand and warned him sternly again: "Remember what I said to you before, don't get close to Xu Shengli and the broken
altar."
"……knew."
The sudden concern made Xia Meilin feel confused and she didn't know how to feel about him.
After a while, she followed Luo Yi's footsteps and entered the scarlet cemetery. In the center, a pile of bloody skeletons piled up a strange altar, like a monster statue with teeth and claws, surrounded by a very sticky bloody mist.
A twisted and grotesque vision is woven together, and after watching it for a long time, you will suddenly feel sick and dizzy.
"Don't stare."
Luo Yi saw Xia Meilin's beautiful eyes gradually losing their sparkle and pushed her in time.
Receiving external stimulation, Xia Meilin immediately broke away from the vision of the altar and let out a slight gasp with lingering fear. For a moment, she seemed to have fallen into a boundless sea of blood, with no hope of salvation.
"If you weren't holding this shield, you would be just like the guy in front of you."
Luo Yi pointed at Xu Shengli, who was vomiting desperately not far away, as if he wanted to vomit out all his internal organs.
"Well, I'll pay attention."
Xia Meilin immediately became vigilant and did not dare to stare at the altar anymore. She held her oaken buckler tightly and remained alert as she walked with Luo Yi.
At this time, Xu Shengli became weak again, his face looked pale, as if he had been taught by several big men in turn all night, and he lay half limp on the ground, his eyes dull and motionless.
When he was in the church just now, Xu Shengli regained his psychic powers, was full of confidence, and was ready to fight, stepping on the heads of Luo Yi and Xia Meilin, a pair of losers, to win the highest reward.
However, when he arrived at the place of the altar, within three seconds of Xu Shengli's handsome being eroded by the weird vision emanating from the altar, even the recovered spiritual energy was swallowed up. If he hadn't reacted quickly, he forcibly cut off the
If you open the contaminated mental and spiritual energy, your soul will probably be drained out.
Untransformed psychic energy is evil's favorite food, but it's a pity this guy doesn't know that.
This early stage of information is very important to psychics, but Luo Yi has no obligation to tell it, especially to a villain like Xu Shengli.
"Well, as expected of a psyker, he was able to break free. If it were an ordinary trialist who came here, he would be sucked to death by the evil vision of the altar in less than ten seconds."
Luo Yi looked at the half-dead Xu Shengli who was lying on the ground, and asked again: "Your current state is not suitable for destroying the altar. Why don't you give me the psychic pistol? Anyway, the pistol is yours, and part of the credit will go to you."
Yes, there is no need for you to take such a big risk."
Xia Meilin glanced at Luo Yi strangely and thought to herself: How could you be so kind? There must be something fishy about it.
"dream!"
Xu Shengli looked half-dead, but he turned over and sat up, holding on to his weak body. He took out a syringe from his combat uniform again and plunged it directly into his neck. Suddenly, the whole neck turned dark blue, and then
It quickly spreads to the entire face, then eyes, hair, skin...
In less than three seconds, he turned into a Blue Star person in a sense.
"Xu Shengli, are you crazy? You actually injected Lan Ling potion. You are destroying your future!"
Xia Meilin was shocked when she saw his change.
Blue Spirit Potion is a taboo drug. Ordinary people will explode and die immediately if they take it. But once a psychic takes it, the benefits and negative effects will be very extreme.
The gain is that the psychic energy will continue to skyrocket, surpassing the current level. Within a fixed period of time, the psychic energy is almost inexhaustible, but after the time has passed, the negative effects will be extremely severe, the whole person will lose life energy at an accelerated rate, and the spirit will fall into chaos.
, or even lose his mind. If he is not treated in time, he will eventually be swallowed up by a strange blue energy and completely mutate into a monster covered in blue scales.
"No! I am just for the unlimited future!"
Xu Shengli's deep blue eyes revealed a kind of madness: "As long as I get the biggest reward from this trial, I will be able to offset the side effects of the Blue Spirit Potion!"
Although he has the old knight's buff, the consumption of the fight against the altar just now exceeded the blessing of the buff, so he had to use this trump card that he was least willing to use! Because once used, there is no way out!
"You are gambling with your life."
Xia Meilin shook her head, not thinking that he could win the reward of this hidden mission. Luo Yi might have other back-ups, and if he didn't listen to him, he would only suffer.
After saying this, she ignored Xu Shengli and slowly retreated behind Luo Yi. She followed the previous advice and stayed away from Xu Shengli, especially now that this guy was emotionally unstable and had been injected with the blue spirit potion.
It's a scourge.
Seeing Xia Meilin's disgusted retreat, Xu Shengli's eyes were like poisonous snakes, staring at Luo Yi coldly and viciously, "Do you think you can plot against me like this? You have no idea how powerful psychics are!"
"That's almost it. The Blue Spirit Potion has a time limit. Do you really want to waste your time talking to me?"
Luo Yi looked calm, not at all irritated by his words, and even made some suggestions: "When you shoot at the altar, don't get too close, and don't stare at it for too long, otherwise the evil vision will erode even more, and it's likely to cause you
The side effects of the blue spirit potion broke out early, and I don’t want to kill another irrational blue-skinned monster!”
He knows better than anyone else what the Blue Spirit Potion is. On the surface, it belongs to the semi-finished evolution potion developed by the so-called psychic experts on Earth. However, due to the side effects that are difficult to eliminate, this problem cannot be overcome for a while, and it is finally listed as a
A contraindicated drug.
However, the true origin, or raw material, of the Blue Spirit Potion is actually energy material from another world. It just happened to fall into the space cracks of the earth, and the earth's civilization is not enough to develop this kind of energy material.
Only then would a product with such major flaws be born.
"You don't need to teach me how to do things!"
"Oh, where is the energy stone? It's better if I make the trap. After all, I need to detonate the energy stone later..."
"No need! That old guy gave me the device to detonate the energy stone!! Do you think you have everything under your control? Ridiculous!"
"Okay, then hurry up. It seems that the blue spirit potion is only limited to half an hour. In fact, I want to see who is more powerful if you mutate into a blue-skinned monster and fight with a troll. Maybe you who become a monster,
You can kill the troll, but the only drawback is that you have lost your mind and cannot exchange what you want normally..."
"Shut up!!!"
