Chapter 181 Special Equipment Abyss Lantern

Office on the third floor of the Intelligence Group.

The woman in black OL attire put down the document in her hand and rubbed her brow.

"The competition for the eleventh disciple position has become fierce, causing the New World to move more frequently recently."

"Fortunately, Wencheng is only a second-tier city and is less affected. Compared with the Heavenly Punishment Team in the provincial capital Hangzhou, I am still relatively free here."

After handling the official business at hand, Li Xingyue picked up the mobile phone beside her and opened the "Book of Salvation".

[……]

[You step forward and touch the rest page...]

[You have a new letter to check, do you want to open it? ]

Li Xingyue raised her eyebrows and opened the letter.

The sender is "Swordsmith". There is no word written in the letter, but it contains attachments.

[The lens of the maze (epic prop)*1]

She revealed a smile in her eyes and put away the divine prop.

"This guy..."

——

['Battle Angel-Valkyrie' takes you slowly to the bottom of the abyss. ]

[You vaguely see a little warm light in the endless darkness in the distance. ]

[You know in your heart that it is the means by which the 'Ancient Abyss Demon - Blackthorn Demon' lures food. ]

[What should you do? ]

Lin Xun smiled coldly and ignored the options given by the underworld game.

After 12 hours of anti-addiction, he has reshaped the earth giant.

[You open a pale eye...]

[Special skill 'Weakness Insight' is activated! ]

[Your knowledge is not as good as the enemy, judging...]

[Judgment successful, you have successfully seen through the weakness of the 'Blackthorn Demon'. ]

[Your next attack will have a high probability of hitting the enemy's weakness! ]

[Your special look seems to have attracted the attention of the ancient demon. It cautiously wrapped the red spots on its belly with four huge black wings, twisted its huge snake-like body, and approached you...]

[The 'Battle Angel - Valkyrie' flapped its wings and flew into the air. She pulled the longbow and frequently shot arrows at the warm light in the darkness. ]

[The 'Blackthorn Demon' ignored the pain of the arrows piercing its body and accelerated its speed to attack you...]

Lin Xun had long known that the Blackthorn Demon would attack him regardless of everything.

Everything was within his expectations.

[You possessed the body of the 'Fallen Ancient Theater Dancer'! ]

[You took a smart dance step, and your figure gradually disappeared into the darkness...]

[The demon's weird human face showed a mocking expression, it lowered its head and suddenly lifted up a large piece of black mud. ]

[You were unable to dodge the dense mud spots like rain, and were drenched all over. Suddenly, the black mud spots floated in the air in an extremely strange way. ]

[The strange face of the ‘Blackthorn Demon’ approaches you, and the warm light illuminates your surroundings, and your figure gradually appears. ]

[Your invisibility is revealed! ]

[The humanoid face of the demon makes a hoarse and strange laugh, as if laughing at your overestimation. ]

[You suddenly open your dark eyes and dance again! ]

[Your body skill ‘Blood Shadow Dance’ benefits from the bonus of ‘Dark Shadow’, and the stealth effect is greatly improved! ]

[Darkness is like your outer garment, and shadow is your armor! In the dark abyss of the underground, your figure hides silently. ]

[The ‘Blackthorn Demon’ suddenly roars and rushes to the place where your figure disappears, splashing the smelly mud, but you, who are in the invisible state, have already walked behind it. ]

[The ancient demon keeps shaking its tail and head, attacking the surroundings indiscriminately, stirring up pieces of black mud. ]

[The mud spots fall on your body but cannot reveal your flaws again. ]

[The ‘Blackthorn Demon’ raged for a long time, but still couldn’t force you out. ]

[Under the continuous shooting of the ‘Battle Angel – Valkyrie’, its body was covered with blood holes. ]

[The ancient demon finally couldn’t bear it anymore, it flapped its four giant wings, and the entire underground abyss rolled up a howling hurricane. ]

[Its huge body soared into the air and quickly attacked the Valkyrie in mid-air. ]

[The ‘Blackthorn Demon’ flying into the air completely exposed the fatal weakness on its belly. ]

Lin Xun finally waited for this moment.

Now!

[You possess the body of the ‘President of the Direct Vision Association for Seeking Knowledge’! ]

[You raised your staff and silently chanted a spell...]

[The ‘Blackthorn Demon’ that was chasing the Valkyrie in the air was not completely distracted. It noticed that you suddenly appeared and chanted a spell. ]

[The ancient demon roared, gave up chasing the approaching Valkyrie, flapped its giant wings and turned to rush towards you! ]

[You continue to chant the spell, and a pink eye opens on your face...]

[Special skill 'Joyful Smoke Vision' is activated! ]

[The flapping wings of the 'Blackthorn Demon' suddenly stiffen, and the huge body falls straight from the sky...]

[With a loud bang, countless black mud splashes, and the red spots on the huge body in the huge pit are extremely eye-catching. ]

[You raise your hand, and the 'Pre-stored Spell Ring' flashes. ]

[Dense pure white characters emerge, then annihilate, and burst into dazzling light! ]

[The 'Battle Angel - Valkyrie' in the air took advantage of the light and suddenly pulled out a thick arrow, pulling the bow like a full moon. ]

[A flash of white light, a meteor-like arrow with a giant dragon phantom, shot towards the red spot! ]

[You recite the last syllable of the spell, and endless starlight gathers in front of you...]

[In a flash, starlight blooms at the red spot! ]

[The starlight and the arrow hit the weakness of the 'Black Thorn Demon' together, and the demon's huge body broke from it, and blood surged out...]

[Its two bodies are still twisting, but the eyes on its heads have dimmed. 】

[You defeated the ‘Ancient Abyss Demon—Black Thorn Demon’, and your experience value increased tremendously! 】

[The power within the body begins to boil, and the level of the body of the ‘President of the Knowledge-Seeking Direct Gaze Association’ increases. The current body level is: 55]

[You have obtained ‘a small piece of spirituality of enlightenment’*2]

[You have obtained the ‘complete forging crystal block’*1]

[You have obtained the ‘Black Thorn Demon’s Spine’ (material)]

[You obtained the ‘Black Thorn Demon’s Fang’ (item)]

[You have obtained the ‘Lantern of the Abyss’ (special equipment)]

Lin Xun breathed a long sigh of relief and felt comfortable all over his body.

After conquering the ancient demon, he knelt down twice and finally successfully killed the BOSS. He felt an indescribable sense of accomplishment.

[‘Battle Angel—Valkyrie’ lands next to you following the light from the ‘Thunder Dragon Staff Spear’ in your hand. 】

[You look at the two corpses that occasionally squirm and twitch...]

[‘Ancient Abyss Demon—Black Thorn Demon’, according to legend, a long time ago, people lived deep underground in order to avoid natural disasters from the outside world. At the end of the cave, horrifying howls often echo from the abyss. People mistakenly thought that they had offended the underground gods, so they carried out live sacrifices on a large scale - throwing their fellow humans into the endless abyss to appease the anger of the underground gods... Perhaps the ugly human face of this demon body was created by devouring too many humans. It died from lacerations caused by being struck at its fatal weakness. 】

The devil's body was blown into two pieces by a powerful attack, and it did not meet the requirements for possession, so there was no phase or possession option.

Lin Xun was about to open the inventory to check the loot.

Game text suddenly appears.

[With the death of the ‘ancient abyss demon—Black Thorn Demon’, you feel a faint vibration under your feet. 】

[The vibration frequency becomes more and more intensive, and the amplitude also becomes larger. 】

[Countless rubble fell from the darkness and fell to the bottom of the abyss. 】

[Feeling the ground shake, you looked at the falling pieces of gravel and understood that a strong earthquake had occurred deep underground. 】

[If you continue to stay here, both you and the Valkyrie will be buried here. 】

[Are you going to let the ‘Battle Angel—Valkyrie’ take you away from here? 】

Lin Xunxin said this was nonsense.

He quickly pressed 'Yes', he didn't want to lose two points of soul strength for no reason.

[‘Battle Angel—Valkyrie’ hugs you from behind, flaps its wings, and takes you flying upwards. 】

[You chant the incantation repeatedly and release the ‘Knowledge Light’ to illuminate the falling boulders. 】

[While the Valkyrie is carrying you, she still needs to dodge boulders. When she flies to a height of more than a hundred meters above the ground, she cannot continue to climb. 】

[You look up at the seemingly nonexistent cliff in the darkness. You are still tens of thousands of meters away from the starting point of jumping into the abyss. 】

[You understand that only death can return you to the starting point of your journey. 】

[Are you going to let the ‘Battle Angel—Valkyrie’ throw you down and die in the endless darkness of the underground? 】

"It's better to die alone than to die together."

Fortunately, Lin Xun has a scapegoat body.

He switched the body of the Discipline Knight and pressed 'Yes'.

…

[Ordinary wandering souls are reborn in the Multi-View Association...]

"This BOSS is really disgusting. Even if he dies, he will waste some of my soul strength."

Lin Xun complained silently.

He opened the inventory, and it was time to look at the exciting loot.

There is no need to go into details about the spirituality dropped first and the ‘complete forging crystal block’ that can be used to enhance legendary equipment.

[‘Black Thorn Demon’s Spine’ (Material): A spine with black bone spines. The sharp bone spines are a good material for forging high-quality weapons. Adding this material to forging will increase the lethality of the finished weapon. 】

The materials dropped by the Blackthorn Demon are not special materials that will necessarily generate special effects.

But judging from the text description, it is also a very high-quality material, and it should be a material specially used for melee weapons.

[‘Black Thorn Demon’s Fang’ (prop): A fang half as long as an arm. The hollow fang is fragile and not suitable for forging artifacts. Its value may lie in the black venom still remaining in the fangs. 】

[Using this prop will temporarily add poisonous attributes to your weapons or armor, and the monster you attack or the monster that attacks you will be infected with poison. 】

Lin Xun didn't attach much importance to the effect of poisoning weapons. Instead, it was more interesting to coat the armor with poison to poison the attacking monsters.

"Cooperating with the Blood Ox Warriors is equivalent to turning on the Halo of Thorns, or putting on anti-injury armor."

Lin Xun looked at the last piece of special equipment.

[‘Abyss Lantern’ (special equipment), a lantern made of flesh and blood, emits a warm light. Judging from the shape of the lantern, it seems to be a miniature version of the strange body structure of the 'Black Thorn Demon'. 】

['Abyss Lantern' (special equipment), wearing this equipment will greatly increase the probability of attracting enemies, and can also break some invisibility effects within the light range. 】

Lin Xun smiled slightly.

For others, attracting monsters may be a negative BUFF, but for him, he wishes that more monsters would come to give him experience.

As long as you don't use this equipment against the BOSS...

Besides, the special equipment can also break the invisibility. Just based on this effect, the value of this item is extremely high.

Suddenly, Lin Xun's eyes lit up.

"No! This equipment is not for me, but for the Valkyrie!"

When encountering a brainless monster like the 'Break Monster', the Valkyrie can still go forward to contain and output, providing space for the magician to cast spells.

But when encountering a brainy monster like the 'Blackthorn Demon', the containment tactics are not very effective.

Letting the Valkyrie wear this equipment may solve similar troubles.

He summoned the Valkyrie and tried to move the 'Abyss Lantern' into the Valkyrie's equipment column.

As a result, the Valkyrie's 'Longbow of Singing the Wind and Moon' was pushed down.

['Battle Angel-Valkyrie' holds a flesh and blood lantern, and the warm light emitted by the lamp is particularly eye-catching. ]

[Even at noon when the light is sufficient, the light of the lantern is still eye-catching. 】

【The Valkyrie waved the lantern blankly twice, as if she couldn't believe that the lantern could be used as a weapon. 】

"..."

Lin Xun was speechless.

Unlike him, the Valkyrie didn't have an inventory and could change weapons and equipment at any time.

The longbow was a two-handed weapon. After equipping the 'Abyss Lantern', the Valkyrie naturally couldn't draw the bow and shoot arrows.

"If the Valkyrie is close, I can manually switch her equipment. If she is in combat, not to mention the distance, it would be more cumbersome to switch equipment back and forth."

"I don't know if the followers and watchers have exclusive backpacks or something like that, which can be used to store props and equipment."

He put away the 'Abyss Lantern'.

It's a pity that the three-headed lion can't wear equipment, otherwise this special equipment is very suitable for the three-headed lion...

As for where to explore next, he has two choices.

One is to go to the Hermit Canyon in the Bamogo Mountains according to the guidance of the 'Dark Dragon Knight Memory' and continue the inheritance of the Dragon Knight.

The second is to use the teleportation scroll found from Grand Maester McGuire to go to a place called ‘Star Chasing Corridor’.

Lin Xun estimated that the difficulty of the ‘Hermit Canyon’ map should be much greater than that of the ‘Star Chasing Corridor’.

According to the order of exploration from easy to difficult, the next step should be to go to the ‘Star Chasing Corridor’.

With this thought, he opened the inventory and clicked on the props.

[Do you want to use the ‘Star Chasing Corridor’s Teleportation Scroll’ to teleport to the ‘Star Chasing Corridor’? ]

[Your current knowledge limit is insufficient and you cannot teleport to the destination! ]

“…My knowledge limit is already 5,200, and it’s still insufficient?”

The underworld game silently tripped up another obstacle.

Since clearing the monsters on the map, the knowledge has not increased significantly for a long time.

According to the settings of the underworld game, knowledge can be obtained from both the knowledge-seeking monster and the star monster.

But monsters such as the Grand Maester and the President will not increase their knowledge the second time they meet after the first meeting.

And reading materials will not gain knowledge again in front of the same information.

Just like he had known the false path to godhood before, he would not gain any more knowledge when reading McGuire's memorandum.

There were still some books and props in his package, but it was far from enough to increase the upper limit of knowledge.

"Can I only go to find the ancient dragon first..."

As the saying goes, good food is never too late.

Lin Xun wanted to improve his strength to the current limit, and then he would be more confident in exploring the Hermit Canyon.

The sudden appearance is like a student who is studying hard for the college entrance examination with only one month left, and is unexpectedly told to take a pen and admission ticket, and go to take the college entrance examination now, immediately, and right away!

There is another chapter in the evening, and it is estimated that it will take two or three o'clock to finish coding... Grandpas can wait until tomorrow to wake up before reading.
