Chapter 69: Special Effect 'Medicine'

At the moment when the skill is activated, time slows down as if it has encountered resistance, and everything is like slow motion. The place where Eternity was inserted into the ground began to gradually turn red, and the red light was rapidly expanding, and some rock cracks spread out like spiders.

Click. With a crisp sound, the rocks around Eternity suddenly collapsed, and the surrounding rocks rose up. Time seemed to suddenly return to normal, and my whole body shot into the ground with a red light.

In the cave passage, Maomao and Karaka were looking at the roof of the cave in panic. The roof of the rock cave that had just cooled and dimmed turned red again, and this time it was much more obvious than last time. The entire cave was trembling and shaking, as if it would collapse at any time.

The hot cave roof became redder and redder. Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and a red light shot out from the cave roof with a large amount of rubble. In less than a second, the red light disappeared into the cave roof. The opposite ground brought up a circle of dust.

The three of them watched in surprise as the red light disappeared into the ground, and then looked up to the ceiling of the cave together. The red light just penetrated a large hole in the top of the cave. At this time, the entrance of the cave has been completely melted by the high temperature. The viscous magma with red light is dripping from the edge of the cave entrance to the ground drop by drop. The magma liquid had turned into rock before it dropped to the ground, but its temperature was not much lower than that of the magma. As soon as it hit the ground, a burst of green smoke immediately appeared, showing that its surface was still so hot.

Click. A sound drew the three people's attention to the ground. Where the red light sank into the ground, the rock suddenly moved upward.

"There seems to be something coming out from under the rock!" said the cat.

The rock moved twice more, but it seemed that the thing on it was too heavy to lift at once. Suddenly, with a bang, the rock pit burst into flames, and the fire spurted out from the cracks under the ground like a volcanic eruption. The rock moved a few times in the flames, and then a loud wolf howl came from the pit. A rock weighing several tons rose up with a loud rumbling sound. A werewolf with wings on its back appeared under the rock. You don’t need to guess to know that this is me.

I threw the rock I was holding over my head to the side, and the flames followed. After returning to my original shape, I patted the dust on my body and said, "It's actually such a thin layer. I should have known I wouldn't need this trick." In fact, I knew something was wrong as soon as Yongheng was inserted into the ground. The rock below was not thick enough at all, but I couldn't stop anymore, and ended up passing through the last layer of rocks and driving deep into the ground below before I stopped.

The cat wanted to run over after seeing me, but he saw a white ball of light suddenly falling from the hole on the top of the cave. The ball of light suddenly exploded when it reached the middle of the molten hole, centered on the hole. The surrounding space suddenly turned into a white space.

Eve said in surprise: "Frost Star? Does Ziri have an ice magic pet?"

"It's not a demon pet, it's his clone." Maomao had already seen the mage's clone that was slowly descending.

"Are you all here?" I had already seen Maomao and the others.

Karaka ran over quickly: "Ziri, you are so fierce? Why did you come down from here?"

Ah Wei happened to be sent down by the rose vine at this time, and took over the conversation: "We couldn't get over the wall, so we wanted to dig another road in another direction. Unexpectedly, the surroundings were the same. Later we found that the top of the mountain was not protected, so we A well was dug all the way down from above.”

Eve stretched her head to look at the top of the cave and then looked at the big hole I made below: "Are you too awesome? How did you dig it down so deep?"

"The first half is made of soil, and the rose vines can be dug. Then we got to the rocks and used some explosives. The last part was blasted out with magic."

"Anyway, he is not a normal person." Maomao held a purple-black crystal and handed it to me: "Ziri, please help me see if I can cut the crystal open."

I took the crystal and looked at it. "Isn't this your magic pet? How did you get in?"

"We don't know how it got in, anyway, it didn't go in by itself." Maomao said: "I had been using it for reconnaissance, and we maintained visual contact at the time. I only saw a black flame rolling over. , and then the connection was lost, and that was what happened when I found it."

I knocked on the crystal and said, "You'd better not have too much hope. My eternity may not be able to touch this guy."

"Why?"

"Have you ever seen soft crystals?"

Maomao shook his head.

"That's it. Almost all crystallized substances are very hard, and this crystal barrier is obviously made of magic. If my strength does not reach the strength level of the guy who made the crystal, it will be impossible to open it. "

Eve said: "Can you at least try it first?"

"Okay then, you guys stand back first, Scott. Go get a bigger stone for me to use as a platform."

Scott and my warrior clone moved back the rock I just threw away. This thing is just suitable as a chopping board. After placing the black and purple crystals, I asked them to step back and raise eternity above their heads. "Big Heavenly Wheel Slash."

A sword blade composed of nine phantoms suddenly appeared in front of eternity, and then they merged together to form a rotating sword wheel. I slashed Eternity towards the crystal, and the white sword wheel hit the crystal.

The sword wheel disintegrated amid a jingling sound. The Eternal Sword wiped out a spark on the crystal and then tilted to one side. I followed him out because of excessive force. The sword blade cut into the boulder that was used as an anvil and split it into two. explode. Although the knocked-together sword wheel disintegrated. However, the power remained unabated, and nine translucent sword shadows flew around in a clattering sound, scaring Karaka and the others into fleeing in confusion.

Eve saw a sword blade crashing towards her. She immediately drew her weapon and tried to block it. My warrior clone shouted: "Get out of the way!" and pounced on it.

With a bang, the sword blade passed through the position where Eve was standing and crashed into the ground behind her. The rocks on the ground immediately flew apart like an explosion. Eve, who was thrown to the ground by my warrior clone, struggled to get up. "Why did you knock me down? I can catch that sword."

The warrior clone didn't explain and just said: "Look at your own weapons."

Eve looked at the sword in her hand in confusion, and she was surprised to find that one-third of her sword was missing. What surprised her even more was that she then found that her rather high-end armor was partially missing on the right shoulder. Half of the shoulder pads were gone. The snow-white arms were just exposed in the air. There are still some bruises on it. She looked around and found that her shoulder pads had fallen to the ground a few meters away along with a piece of fabric. But the broken third of her sword blade was stuck on the roof of the cave.

Ah Wei walked out from behind the rock next to him and said: "In the future, remember it's best not to fight Zi Ri with weapons. Your armor is not as strong as window paper in front of his sword. As for using weapons to block it, that's a complete dream. , unless you can block a tomahawk blow with a toothpick."

Maomao also stood up from behind a nearby rock and said: "Awei is right, Ziri is very strong, every sword strike is like a heavy hammer, and his sword is very sharp, unless it is a divine weapon or something like that." . Otherwise it will be difficult to block it. Although the sword that flew out just now is only a split sword, it is still dangerous."

When Ah Wei and the others returned to the blasting site, the surroundings were already in a mess. I was buried in the debris of the large stone that was originally a chopping board, with only one leg outside. The crystal was on top of the rubble, but it didn't look damaged at all. The surrounding walls have been swept away by sword energy and chaos, and there are big ditches everywhere.

Scott and another ring knight came over and patted my leg: "Master Ziri, are you okay?"

Boom. The rock suddenly exploded and I crawled out. "Do you think I'm okay?" I pointed at myself.

When they took a look, they discovered that there was actually a sword blade stuck in my left chest. What was even worse was that it had almost come out from my back. The mage clone asked nervously: "Is it okay?"

"Tch! My weapon doesn't count as an attack. What can happen to me?" I pulled out the blade and said, "But it's really dangerous. If you deflect it a little further, it will hit the heart. Although my weapon doesn't count as an attack. It's powerful, but hitting the vital point will still kill you."

Maomao hugged the crystal where his magic pet was and said, "It seems that if I don't find that monster, my magic pet won't be able to come out."

"Just move forward. Since this thing attacked your magic pet, he must still be in the cave. We can definitely find him. Take that crystal with you. There will always be a way."

"Oh well."

After tidying up and regrouping, we continued deep into the cave. I temporarily took back the two clones because they were really annoying. We had a smooth journey along the way, not to mention monsters here. Not even a bug. Cave is usually a cold, damp place full of bugs and many monsters, but this cave is really cold, not damp at all, and there is no sign of life here, no matter what. Insects, moss and the like, any living thing can't be seen here.

After reaching the end of the third floor passage, we encountered the stairs again. We originally thought there was a fourth floor passage, but we didn't see the passage when we came down. We entered directly into a huge underground stone chamber.

The area of ​​the stone chamber is no less than that of the First Square, and the stairs we took down are just at the edge. There is a huge platform in the center of the stone chamber that is very eye-catching because it actually emits light. We put away the lighting stones because it was already bright enough. In addition to the luminous platform, there are also many luminous pearls on the roof of the cave. Although they are not very bright, they are at least better than lighting stones.

The illuminated platform looks a lot like the Temple of Heaven in Beijing, at least the style is the same. Eve was completely dumbfounded when she saw this thing. "This...isn't this your Chinese thing?"

I walked over and looked at the platform carefully and said, "It does look like something from China. There is a carved dragon on it. Russia probably doesn't produce this thing."

Maomao also stretched out his hand to 'touch' and then said: "It's really strange. This is Russian territory. How could the altar of our country come here?"

Karaka said: "I'm afraid only the system knows this."

I asked the Ring Knights to search separately. I went up to the platform to look for it myself, but after a long time we still found nothing. I don’t know what material this platform is made of. It has a little elasticity but can't be cut. In addition to the dragon pattern carved on it, there are also many charms, but it's a pity that I can't understand them at all.

Maomao suddenly said: "Don't you have a dragon? Just let it see it, right?"

I thought about it and let Xiao Longnu out. Xiao Longnu fell down as soon as she came out, and I quickly helped her up. "Are you okay?"

Xiao Longnu pressed her head with one hand and said, "My headache is going to explode!"

"Hold on. We're almost there."

When Xiao Longnu heard that she was almost there, she quickly put her hand down. "Do you want me to try the 'medicine' now?"

"No." I picked her up and let her see the charms on the stand. "Do you understand this?"

Xiao Longnu looked at it and nodded slightly: "It's the Demon Subduing Seal, but it's a bit strange."

"strangeness?"

"The Demon-Subduing Seal is divided into many levels, and the effects vary depending on the degree of completeness. This is the completed form of the Demon-Suppressing Seal, which can completely suppress any demon. I heard before that the one at the exit of Qiankun Gourd is composed of the Demon-Subduing Seal and another seal. Although this complete demon-subduing seal is not as powerful as the one at Hulukou, it is not a simple thing either."

"Do you know how to break this seal?"

"destroy?"

"Yes, destruction."

Xiao Longnu said weakly: "The top of the center of the high platform should be the formation eye. It is the most vulnerable place. You can break the seal by inserting the Eternal Sword directly from the middle."

"Well, okay, you rest first, I will find the antidote as soon as possible."

After sending the little dragon girl back to the Phoenix Dragon Space, I walked to the center of the altar and used eternity to 'insert' it into the center point of the formation in the center of the altar. As soon as Yongheng came into contact with the formation, he immediately felt a strong resistance, but at least he could cut here. I pressed down hard, and a small part of it didn't go in at once. Lightning suddenly began to flash on the sword's blade. Although it did not reach the hilt, it looked as if it was about to explode.

boom! I just thought it was going to explode and it actually exploded, but it wasn't the altar that exploded. Instead, the ground around the altar exploded. The surrounding rocks were blasted open like a directional blast, and I felt as if my feet were empty, and the person and the altar fell down together. This place is actually empty underneath!

Ah Wei and the others stood too close, so none of them ran away and they all fell down.

After we all fell, the rocks on the ground returned to their original shape like a movie rewinding, and even the altar appeared intact. The only difference is that we are all gone.

"Ah...!" Boom! "Oh!"

A black vortex suddenly appeared over a vast unknown Gobi desert. Along with a burst of chaotic screams, a large group of people fell from the black vortex. Of course this group of people is us. Because the incident was so sudden, no one was prepared, and the large group of people fell into a heap with a clatter.

"Who's on top of me? Get off quickly!"

"Ah! Don't step on my face!"

"..."

After we finally got up, we discovered that we were no longer in the original cave at all.

"Strange, where is this?" Maomao asked after looking around.

"Only the devil knows!" Karaka looked at the sky and said, "I remember that we seemed to have fallen into a hole. But this shouldn't be under the mountain, right?"

As soon as I stretched out my hand, a steel silver bee landed on my wrist. Its tail vibrated a few times and made a special sound. After a while, a large number of steel silver bees in the sky all gathered together and turned into silver in order. The colored feathers are attached to my wings. While retrieving the Steel Silver Bee sent out when I fell just now, I said: "Don't guess, this is not under the mountain. When I fell just now, I had released the Steel Silver Bee to prevent any accidents. They just reported that this is not a cave. Because it’s hard to imagine the height of the sky. If it’s a cave, it should have a roof.”

Eve asked, "But I can't see the sky!"

Eve was right, the sky was indeed invisible here. The color of this Gobi is completely gray, and the sky is the same as the ground. Gray clouds block the entire sky and nothing can be seen. "The Iron Silver Bee reported that there was a dark sky above the clouds, with no sunlight, stars or moon at all."

"Then where is this?" Eve asked excitedly.

"Underworld." A sudden interjection voice appeared behind Eve. She turned around in horror but saw nothing.

"who?"

Like Eve, Maomao and the others looked blankly in the direction of the sound. I was a little surprised by this at first, but I soon understood. "You can't see him?"

My words made Karaka and the three of them look back at me. Ah Wei looked at the three of them in surprise: "No way? Can you really not see it?"

"Can you see it too?" Karaka asked Awei in surprise.

"Of course." Ah Wei walked up to the guy who made the noise just now. "Right next to me. Here. Can you really not see it?"

Ah Wei really liked this guy. The reason is very simple, this is a white soul, that is, a soul that has just died and has no strength. My attributes determine that I can see any undead creature. As for Ah Wei, he is a necromancer himself. How can he be such a fool if he can’t even see him?

The young ghost said to Ah Wei: "Don't bother, they are ordinary people and can't see me."

Maomao looked at where Ah Wei was pointing. In fact, it seemed to her that there was nothing there. "Well, since we can't see you, why can we hear you?"

"This is a spell called Foley, which is specially used to make sounds to communicate with other individuals. For us souls, this is like babies learning to speak, and it is the first step in the growth of newborn souls. I will learn it in a while. You can see me using Mimicry."

Scott looked at the gray sky and said: "It turns out this is the underworld, no wonder I feel so comfortable all over!"

Maomao corrected: "They are talking about the underworld, not the underworld in the West." Ah Wei couldn't help but laugh. Maomao looked at me and asked, "Did I say something wrong?"

I nodded. "You ordinary players rarely communicate with undead creatures, so you don't know the actual situation. In fact, the so-called underworld, hell, underworld, spirit world, etc., are actually all referring to the same space."

"No?" Maomao didn't seem to believe it yet.

I explained: "Just like the human world is divided into various continents, the world of the undead is not a whole land, they are also divided into several areas. Some of these areas are connected. Some are isolated by the sea of ​​death. In these worlds of the undead There is a country of undead on this continent.”

The cat meowed: "I understand. The country of souls in China is called the underworld, and the country of the undead in Europe is called Hell, right?"

"That's not entirely true. Because the world of the undead and our world are two different spaces, there is no positional relationship between the two. It should be said that the passage from China to the underworld is just connected. The undead from China will go to the underworld as soon as they arrive. It’s the underworld. And the European side happens to be connected to hell or the underworld.”

Awei continued what I said: "In addition to what Ziri said, there is also the fact that the underworld and hell actually refer to the transition of the undead. This is like the Chinese always calling Japan Little Japan, which is a derogation. The Japanese always like to call themselves Big Japan or something. The same goes for the undead. The angels in heaven devalue the country of the undead and call it hell, and the consciousness says it is a miserable place like a prison, while the undead like to call their country Become the underworld."

Karaka said: "But we fell from Russia, so we should have gone to the underworld? How come we fell to the underworld? Russia is a European country!"

Eve explained: "I think the reason is very simple. Although Russia belongs to Europe politically, in fact most of our Russian territory is in Asia."

I said to the undead: "What's your name?"

"My name is Jette."

"Are you European?" I asked in surprise.

Maomao asked me in an even more surprised voice: "Don't you see the ground?"

I explained: "He is a new soul. His appearance has not been stable yet. Now I can only tell that he is a young man, but not his appearance. His face is like a piece of frosted glass!"

After I explained, I said to the undead soul: "That's good, Jie Te. Since you are a new soul, you must really want to grow up. You should know that this world of the undead is only about the weak and the strong, and there is no sympathy or compassion. You don't want to be absorbed by other souls." You have to strengthen yourself quickly.”

"I know this."

I took out a small amount of black powder. "You know what this is?"

After seeing the powder, Jie Te was so excited that she couldn't even maintain her form, and the whole image shook like water ripples. "I can feel such powerful and pure dark energy."

"Do you want it?" I reached forward with my hand.

"want to."

"Do you know the rules here?"

"I know." Jie nodded: "You have to do things to get benefits."

"Yeah. Not bad." I put away some black powder. Only one-tenth of the amount was left and stretched out in front of him: "This is the advance payment. From now on, you will be responsible for being our guide. When we finish our work, the small pile just now will be yours." "

Upon hearing this, Jie Te nodded immediately. "Definitely." This guy rushed to my hand like a drug addict and started snorting the powder.

These black powders are actually powders of inferior black crystals. The value is very average, but this guy is a new soul. Seeing this energy is like a beggar seeing a hundred-dollar bill.

After he finished sucking the powder, I said to Eve: "Now can you tell us what kind of ore we need?"

Eve was afraid at first that we would go it alone. So I never mentioned what mines were needed, as this would obviously be difficult to hide. She hesitated before speaking out. "That kind of ore is called ghost soil stone, and the name is very strange. And what I said at first was not true. I actually don't know what this kind of mine looks like. But the medical doctor said that this kind of stone is gray in color and only needs a light It will pulverize with a light pinch, and there is usually white powder inside the stone. The doctor also said that there are no similar minerals near this kind of mine, so it will not be confused."

I turned to Jiete and said, "Do you hear me clearly? We need to find ghost soil and rocks. Do you know where they can be found?"

Jie Te had absorbed the crystal powder and was able to show his clear face. At this time, he was looking at me with a strange expression: "Are you kidding me?"

"Why am I teasing you? I really need to find ghost soil and rocks. Don't you know this kind of thing?"

Jette shook her head. "I know, but are you really sure you need ghost earth and stone?"

I nodded firmly and said: "I just want Gui Tu Shi to go back and save lives. If you know where you can find it, tell me right away so I can dig it out and use it."

Jette pointed a finger at her feet. "Dig it!"

I looked down at the ground and then up at him. "What do you mean?"

Jiete replied helplessly: "The Gobi under your feet is called Ghost Soil Gobi. The ground here is entirely made of Ghost Soil and Stone. Since you need Ghost Soil and Stone, then dig it!"

All of our eyes widened at the same time, looking at the ground and then at him in disbelief. Eve couldn't help but squat down and pick up a stone and squeeze it hard. Sure enough, the stone shattered and some white powder spilled out.

Jie Te continued: "There are hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of ghost soil in the Gobi, and this is all within 7 meters of the surface. Whether you want to take it back to pave roads or build cities, it should be enough."

"This... this... this...!" Eve didn't know what to say. In Russia, the guild that sells antidote liquids sells each potion for more than ten crystal coins. And one gram of ore can brew countless tons of medicine. But here there is an entire Gobi made of this kind of ore.

Eve was confused, but I am not confused. He quickly grabbed her and asked: "Formula. We have the antidote materials, what is the formula? As agreed, we should have completed the agreement."

Eve nodded and said: "The formula is very simple. Curare 1 mg."

"Care?"

"Yes. This recipe is to fight fire with fire."

"Then you continue." I quickly recorded.

"1 milligram of curare, 3 grams of fire spirit stone, two grams of black crystal powder, 3 grams of horned eagle bone powder, and 1 gram of ancient cloud snake gallbladder. Just mix these things and take them with water soaked in ghost earth and stone."

"How accurate should the dosage be? What if there is a discrepancy in the amount of medicine?"

"Be careful with curare. It can be cured if you use too much, but it will only hang once and won't be effective if you use less. Just about the same amount of other ingredients is enough."

"Yeah, I understand."

I quickly opened the space door. Just as I was about to go in, I turned around and gave Jette a small amount of black crystal powder. "This is part of the reward, please wait a moment. We will need your help later."

Jette immediately replied with a smile: "It doesn't matter, we undead have no life limit, so we don't have to do anything in a hurry like humans."

I quickly entered the space door and said hello to the Earth Mother Goddess to lend her space for my friends to come in and prepare the medicine. The Earth Mother simply agreed. In fact, the Earth Mother Goddess has a very easy-going personality. She will generally not refuse entry to her space as long as you say hello first. However, if you enter without saying hello, the consequences will be unspeakably miserable.

Eve is not in a hurry to prepare the medicine now, because their guild only wants this for prevention. And none of their people are here. I'm different. On the one hand, my familiars and summoned creatures need treatment, and on the other hand, to prevent Eve from lying. I want to experiment with the effect first.

I have several other things in Eve's formula. Of course, I have to thank Clark for this. He asked me to help him collect magic materials, so I often carry some 'messy' things with me. It happened to be the materials I needed this time. Bring them all.

Awei, Karaka and Maomao followed me into the space door. I summoned the mage clone and the warrior clone to stay outside to protect Eve. This is the underworld, where there are more monsters than ants.

After taking them into the space gate, I quickly ran to the lake in the Garden of the Mother Earth, intending to prepare some antidote for experimentation. After preparing the materials, I used the small scale I carried with me to start dividing the medicine. After preparing one portion, I planned to let a small venator do the experiment first. Anyway, the little hunting dragon will not lose level if it dies.

I poured the 'medicine' and the water soaked with ghost earth, rocks and ground into a small hunting dragon. After a few minutes, the little hunting dragon stopped foaming. After waiting for a while, it actually stood up and could walk.

"It seems to be effective." I excitedly continued to prepare the medicine.

It would be too slow for us to do it one by one, so I had to treat all the demon pets first and then ask them to help. Xiao Longnu controlled a large ball of lake water to float up and form a water ball. Then we broke up a large piece of ghost soil and sprinkled it in. The water ball rolled rapidly under the control of Xiao Longnu to fully dissolve the active ingredients in the ore, and then the ore fell out of the water ball when it was almost done.

After the mineral water is ready, we start to add the antidote. According to the amount of 1,000 people, we crush the antidote and add water balls, stir evenly, and then divide the large water ball into 1,000 small water balls. In this way, each small water balloon contains exactly 1 dose of 'medicine'.

Using this method, we can complete 1,000 doses of antidote at a time, and the amount of medicine added at one time is large, which is convenient for me to control. Especially for curare, 1 mg is difficult to weigh out, so I only need to put 1 gram in at a time. Yes, it's easier to weigh.

Using this method, we healed all my summoned creatures within half an hour and then treated the cats and their familiars as well. Because I have summoned too many creatures, I have almost used up the medicine on my body. The antidote needed in the guild had to wait until we got back. Of course I had to bring enough of the important material ghost earth and stone. It didn’t cost any money anyway. I dug up a piece weighing several tons in one go and threw it into the Fenglong space. I thought it wouldn’t be enough so I dug a few more pieces. This amount should be enough, and it can be used as a meal.

After the antidote was configured, we left the Garden of the Earth Mother and closed the space door again, but this time we have fully upgraded to a cavalry unit. It's really depressing to be an infantryman for so long.

I walked up to Jette and then turned to Maomao and said, "Crystal." Maomao quickly handed me the crystal that sealed her magic pet. I brought the crystal to Jie Te: "Do you know what this thing is?"

Jie Te took a look and said, "It looks like a squirrel. The crystal has a different color and I can't see clearly."

"I mean this crystal, not what's inside the crystal."

"Crystal?" Jette came closer and sniffed it with her nose. "I seem to have some feeling." He said with some embarrassment: "Can you give me some more powder? I hope I can regain my body and touch it to find out."

I immediately gave him another small pile of powder. After inhaling the powder this time, Jette's figure finally appeared. Maomao and the others can also see him. Jie Te is very serious. After recovering his form, he immediately helped us 'touch' the crystal and then exclaimed in surprise: "Is this a unicorn crystal? Why are your things sealed here?"

"Qilin crystal?" I read for a while and suddenly shouted: "Is it a black unicorn?"

Jie Te asked in surprise: "How do you know the black unicorn? No creature in the world should know the black unicorn!"
