Chapter 377: Pride Is One of the Seven Deadly Sins

The underground world, an unknown area.

This place breeds an ink-colored ocean that covers countless miles.

The surrounding area was deserted, with no weeds growing.

The ink-colored ocean seems to contain the ultimate death aura. As long as everything is contaminated with a trace of aura, it will wither and decay in an instant.

However, in this ocean made of the ultimate aura of the dead...

On this day, it seemed that the long-standing silence was broken, and the world was filled with vitality, born from the Dead Sea.

I saw a woman with graceful clothes and devilish curves slowly emerging from the mist.

Through the mist, I couldn't catch a glimpse of her true appearance, but judging from the contours of her body, she must be a beauty with stunning beauty and stunning beauty.

"You were successfully resurrected."

At this time, deep in the shadows, a hoarse, low voice said.

The woman was silent for a moment, then leaned down respectfully, with an extremely loyal attitude:

"This mission was really a mistake by my subordinates... I made a wrong judgment and failed to kill the Holy Maiden of the Fierce Sun."

Yes, this figure is the dark night who successfully escaped through the [Life Doll] not long ago.

In fact...

If there was no [Life Doll], then Dark Night would have been harvested by the [Death Eye].

However, the death energy contained in this ink ocean is exactly the same as the death line...

The characteristics of [Life Doll], which can avoid the continuous corrosion of life by the dead line, may also be related to this Dead Sea.

"I think I've already told you that Holy Maiden of the Burning Sun is not in a hurry to kill." The voice remained calm, as if it was not interested in what the woman said, like a strict leader, Don't like to hear subordinates explain the failure process.

An Ye's expression obviously changed. She lowered her head, was silent for a moment, and then sighed:

"In this mission, I mixed in personal emotions that I shouldn't have..."

"Yes." The voice seemed to be a little more acknowledging this time, "It is a good thing to be able to clearly understand one's own shortcomings. It is a rare gift among human beings."

"But you have to remember...arrogance is one of the seven deadly sins."

"When a humble person acquires power that does not match his own in a short period of time, the previous humility can easily turn into arrogance, and then give birth to greed, anger, laxity and all kinds of desires..."

"Therefore, pride is the first of the seven original sins and the cause of all original sins."

"Arrogance is destructive. Many times, you are not aware of its existence, but fate sees it very deeply."

"When you fall into arrogance, the seeds of destruction will be sown. Errors and biased judgments will deprive you of your reason, and then you will fall into a cycle of doom and disaster."

Cold sweat broke out in the dark night, and she suddenly seemed to understand what had happened recently and why it was mixed with so many misfortunes... When she heard the word "destiny", everything seemed to suddenly become clear.

"Yes! Remember the advice!" An Ye quickly lowered his head, with drops of cold sweat already oozing out from his forehead.

She placed her right hand on her heart and chest, making a gesture of assurance, and said in a deep voice:

"This mission arranged by the Lord will definitely be completed!"

"By then..."

"This city will usher in the new life of the Lord."

Of course, this little trick didn't seem to be something worth paying attention to that shadow.

This time, the shadow didn't even bother to reply with a word, but in the depths filled with black mist, a strange pair of pupils suddenly condensed, staring at the dark night:

"remember!"

"The price of [Life Doll] is one-third of your future lifespan."

"Although you have accepted the Lord's gift, your life span will be much longer. You only lost one-third. For the long years, it is not difficult to accept."

"But... when you lose the second third, it means that you only have the last third left. No matter what level of existence you are, when you reach this stage, you will begin to rot, wither, and your potential will be exhausted. , it is difficult to generate value.”

"And once the last third is used, the consequences will not be something you can bear."

"So, you only have one last chance to make a mistake, do you understand?"

An Ye quickly bowed and said:

"clear!"

The next second, the black shadow receded, and the surrounding ink-colored Dead Sea suddenly disappeared.

In the vast and empty world, only the barren land and black rocks are left. The vastness is desolate and desolate.

…………

Arrive at the Grand Canyon area again.

At this moment, a very thick layer of miasma spread nearby.

But it's clearly a thick, dangerous miasma that doesn't look easy to mess with, but there are many players nearby, stopping here.

Near the dark corridor, there were many more figures standing in twos and threes, all staring at the miasma, as if hesitating whether to go in or not.

Some people are holding posters in their hands, as if they are promoting some temporary teams, guilds, etc...

Some people even grill skewers here...

The road leading to the canyon was dotted with tents that looked like yurts, almost crowding the originally narrow road.

at this time……

In front of the miasma, an old man on crutches, a woman carrying a bamboo basket, a lolita with a ponytail, a big man carrying a pole, and a young woman with a heroic temperament appeared in this area.

"Boss, this miasma should be the formation set up by the thugs, right?" Wang Jing asked.

That's right, this group of people is actually the team led by Chen Ye.

After some disguises, they appeared in this area to avoid being recognized by other players.

And the way of dressing up is very simple.

It is to use the characteristics of [Painted Skin]!

Of course, if there is only the characteristic of [Painted Skin], then Chen Ye can only change his appearance.

But he happened to find a player selling [Human Skin Mask] in the [Weird Black Market].

As long as you have the characteristic of [Painted Skin], you can carve the [Human Skin Mask] to unlock different faces and different faces.

It cost about 100,000 copper coins, and Chen Ye easily bought this relatively basic characteristic prop.

Of course!

Because it is a characteristic prop, the general price is still much more expensive than the first-turn characteristic items.

Considering that any player can use the characteristic props, and the number is more scarce, the selling price should be higher.

Since Chenxi and other people do not have abilities like [Lightless Stalker], and the title halo cannot be used on other players.

If he acts alone, Chen Ye will naturally choose to sneak into the darkness, transform into a perfect assassin, and hide his figure.

But... considering that other players in the team do not have such abilities, he can only find another way.

Just disguise yourself a little and change your form to avoid being recognized by other players and Dark Night's accomplices, that's enough.

With the previous experience and lessons of the Knights of Light, the next action must still make a certain secret protection for their own identity.

And Chen Ye used the [Painted Skin] he absorbed before to change his appearance, which naturally became an alternative choice.

Facing Wang Jing's question, Chen Ye smiled and said:

"Do you think this miasma is a very advanced formation?"

Wang Jing hesitated for a moment and tried to throw a stone in.

At this moment, under the entanglement of the miasma, the surface of the stone gradually showed signs of corrosion.

About ten minutes later...

The palm-sized stone was soon corroded, becoming uneven and irregular.

The nine-tailed fox stroked his chin, using the knowledge he had recorded to explain:

"This seems to be a characteristic of the [Corroder] type. After being fused with the materials dropped by the acid monster, it was made into a barrier by the formation profession."

"At present, it does not have the effect of a curse, nor does it have a unique energy like the [Demon]. Although the area is quite large and looks a bit intimidating, the corresponding level is actually not high. As long as you reach the third-level profession, you can generally find a good way to deal with it."

"However, this miasma still has a certain effect on mental perception ability. Shielding effect. "

"It is difficult to judge whether there may be other invisible traps hidden inside."

At this time, Chenxi spoke out: "My mental power can sense what is inside. It is just a simple miasma. There is no other deeper evil thoughts and murderous intentions contained in it. Unless it is hidden very deeply, but looking at the entire canyon, it is impossible to have camouflaged and highly lethal formations everywhere."

Chenxi's star spirit body, since it was transferred to [Guardian of the Dawn], has integrated the characteristic items of the [Spiritual Realm] sequence, and can sense the evil thoughts and murderous intentions hidden deep inside.

As long as it is a threat to itself, unless it is made more secretive, comparable to Chenxi's current level in terms of characteristics and status, and reaches a professionalism similar to that of Dark Night, otherwise, it will be detected by her.

Combining the above information, it is not difficult to judge that as long as Chenxi says that there is no hidden evil thought inside, it is most likely to pass.

After all, the Grand Canyon is so large that if there are such hidden traps everywhere, you can imagine how much resources and cost it would take.

Just to prevent other players from entering and harassing?

Obviously impossible!

So, this layer of miasma is just a simple formation, the purpose is to prevent some players from entering.

Is it a screening mechanism?

Chen Ye smiled and said, "If it is based on the strength of the thugs, then they can completely arrange a larger and more effective formation. Don't forget that in order to prevent other players from entering the underground world, they can even station powerful teams at various entrances."

"We also know a piece of information-the Dark Night Organization behind the thugs may be related to a powerful indigenous force or even to the evil god."

"Then, it is not difficult to judge that if they really want to prevent other players from entering the Grand Canyon, the formation they arrange will definitely not be as simple as [Corruptor]."

"So..."

"Do you think this [Corruptor Miasma] is really something made by the thugs?"

The people in the team were silent for a moment.

Everyone was thinking about what Chen Ye said...

Chen Xi seemed to have some understanding, but she didn't speak.

She could probably guess that Chen Ye asked this deliberately because he was training the employees of "Integrity Restaurant" to have the thinking that high-end players must have, so that they can become capable people.

This is just like training Miss Puppet...

As a top-level expert, it is very common to have the old bring up the new.

But if you really want to develop, you generally don't choose to cooperate with the experts, but start from the beginning.

There are many reasons for this...

If you cooperate with experts at the same level, others may not be so convinced of you, and for the sake of interests, they may betray you one day.

Moreover, they have reached the level of a strong man, and they need to have enough spirit to reach a similar level.

Then... it is difficult for a person with spirit to admire another person wholeheartedly.

The resulting cooperative relationship is more like an alliance, maintained by a network of interest relations, but once the interests are conflicted, the so-called "balance" is easy to break, and things may turn against each other for the sake of interests at any time.

If you start to cultivate carefully from the beginning, the relationship will probably become a master-apprentice relationship, or a teacher-friend relationship.

It will not be maintained only by the chain of interests.

Of course... people's hearts are unpredictable, and it is hard to say whether there will be betrayal.

But at least working with experts, this relationship is more likely to be sustained and stable.

This is also why many solo players would rather choose to guide new players and be wary of cooperating with other experts.

Only after time has passed, and after getting to know the person and becoming familiar with each other, can they judge whether there is a possibility of continuing.

"Boss, I think I understand!"

Wang Jing's eyes lit up, thinking clearly about the reason, and said: "This miasma is likely to be arranged by other players. They may come from some more famous guilds and have good strength."

"This time we arrived at the dungeon to compete for the opportunity that the thugs want to obtain."

"But they have a certain foundation and think that they have a good chance of this opportunity. Therefore, they choose to arrange this formation. The purpose is to persuade some incompetent players to retreat, so that they will not fish in troubled waters and reduce their chances of success."

"The more powerful and well-established the forces are, the easier it is to fight for opportunities with hard power in such occasions."

"On the contrary, those individual players hope that the situation will become more chaotic, so as to take the opportunity to find opportunities, and the snipe and the clam will fight, and the fisherman will benefit."

Chen Ye nodded and smiled: "Yes, this is also my analysis."

"Then boss... In other words, this miasma is just bluffing, not that dangerous?"

The nine-tailed fox asked curiously.
