Chapter 239 Fishing for the Lava Lord Cocoon
[Use the talent skill - unlimited fishing on Storm Island, you will get the Creator Fragment]
[After specifying the world that needs to be repaired, you will get 5 points of contribution reward (can be used to exchange for Godhead, or Godhead fusion degree and other items)]
In the afternoon of September 29, the volcanic ash that filled the Wind City had long disappeared. Except for the blazing sea of fire in the outer city square and the broken bricks and tiles all over the city, everything seemed to be beautiful.
‘Well - has the seal been successfully sealed? ’
In the outer city square, in the sea of fire that outsiders could not enter, Li Feng flipped through the system prompts and confirmed the prompts again:
[You have successfully sealed the Lava Lord Cocoon]
This line of prompts made Li Feng, who was originally prepared for a tough battle, a little sigh.
But it was only a sigh for a moment, and Li Feng swept away the distracting thoughts in his heart.
Because the most important sealing part of Mission 1 has been completed, Li Feng, who is in the sea of fire, is not in a hurry to fish in Storm Island at this moment.
First, he wanted to leave this scorching environment as soon as possible, and second, there was something that seemed to be unfinished in front of him.
Without thinking about anything else, Li Feng looked carefully at the black hole in front of him that was left by the cocoon that sealed the Lava Lord.
This black hole was generated by the Angel Mark. Its existence seemed to create a space out of thin air. When it just appeared, it sealed the cocoon in another space.
However, what surprised Li Feng was that the system prompt that the cocoon was successfully sealed had appeared for a while, but the black hole did not disappear. It was always open, and it seemed unsafe.
‘Could it be that there is something else to follow up after using the Angel Mark? ’
Thinking of the sarcophagus used to imprison the cocoon under the Mermaid Temple, Li Feng guessed for a moment.
But it was a knowledge barrier after all. Li Feng opened the system backpack and prepared to take out the exquisite little conch from it to contact the Mermaid Chief to ask about the situation.
But before that, he suddenly thought of something. Instead of touching the exquisite little conch, Li Feng took out the fishing rod first.
The black hole in front of him didn't look safe, but it sealed the Lava Lord after all, so it was rare enough. Fishing for it should yield something.
Touching the edge of the black hole with the fishing rod, Li Feng used his innate skill.
[You have obtained a godhood infected by filth]
As the system prompted and a ball of black flame was put into the backpack, Li Feng was stunned for a second.
'Godhood? '
It was strange. In the past few months since Li Feng became a player, he found that whether it was the players who smuggled in or the locals of the Endless Sea, they all valued the godhood very much.
It was something that was worth risking their lives to force.
Li Feng should have been happy to fish for the godhood, but his eyes finally fell on the words "infected by filth".
From the description alone, it seemed to be different from the godhood that players were looking for.
Because of what he suddenly got, Li Feng had many guesses about the creation of the world.
He wanted to use the scroll of the peeping eye to explore the black flame, but he felt that the level of the scroll should be too low.
In addition, looking around, Li Feng found that since Xia no longer replenished the damage, the sea of fire he was in seemed to have a tendency to extinguish.
There are many forces outside the sea of fire. Now there is no leisure to study the godhead, so it is better to make follow-up plans as soon as possible.
After putting away the fishing rod and the godhead infected by filth, Li Feng looked at the black hole on the ground again.
The black hole still did not change. There was always a feeling that as long as someone used means, the cocoon could be fished out again.
'Perhaps, at the bottom of the mermaid temple, Governor Fel and Marsas's people stole the cocoon in this way. '
Understanding the importance, Li Feng did not delay any longer. He took out the exquisite little conch and prepared to contact the mermaid.
At this moment, the voice of the mermaid chief came into Li Feng's ears through the conch.
"Mr. Rhine, the angel mark can seal the lava lord to another space, but the outer layer of the mark must be confined again."
Sure enough.
"How to do it?"
Li Feng asked.
On the other side of the conch, the mermaid chief was silent for a moment, and when he spoke again, there was an embarrassed request in his tone:
"The sarcophagus made by the angel has been broken, and it is impossible to continue to impose the imprisonment. I wonder if you can follow my method and try to move the mark to the Tomb of Iselalai. Under the deep sea, our tribe may have a way."
According to what the mermaid chief said, it is a bit troublesome now, but it seems that there is no other way.
Looking around the sea of fire, although it has a tendency to extinguish, it is still burning fiercely.
"Okay, but do your best..."
Li Feng replied, but before he finished his sentence, his heart suddenly palpitated, and a task prompt suddenly appeared in front of him.
[Triggering task: Imprison the lava lord cocoon sealed in the angel's mark]
[Task description: Sow the "seeds of the tree of purification" on the black hole formed by the angel's mark to complete the final imprisonment of the lava lord cocoon. ]
[Task reward: You will get a description of the "divine nature infected by filth". ]
The text in front of him scrolled line by line, and Li Feng frowned and felt a chill on his back.
The triggering task this time was completely different from the previous ones, because everything was too coincidental.
Especially the task reward. Li Feng had just been thinking about how to study the godhead that was infected by filth.
And now, the system seemed to understand what he was thinking, and directly used the task reward to induce him to complete the system task.
In other words, the system was forcing him to act according to the system's intentions.
As for the "seeds of the purification tree" required for the task, Li Feng felt even more manipulated.
Because this seed was obtained by Li Feng when he was fishing for the Moon Shadow Potion he found in the Mermaid Temple on Sunset Island.
‘So, is everything arranged by the system?
Not only my talent, but also the items I got from fishing, are they arranged by the system according to its needs?
Or is it really like what Jian said, that I and all other players are puppets of the system? ’
Feeling that there is an eye watching him, and even his thoughts can be seen, Li Feng has an indescribable feeling in his heart.
In fact, from the beginning when he became a player and was bound to the system, Li Feng realized this, but now...
‘Forget it, it’s not the time to think about this. ’
Being able to distinguish between the important and the urgent, Li Feng gently shook his head to drive away the random thoughts.
At the same time, he opened the system backpack and locked his eyes on the "seed of the tree of purification".
Then he said to the mermaid chief in the sea through the conch:
"What if I can imprison the cocoon here?"
Seemingly very surprised by Li Feng's sudden change, Li Feng waited for a while before the mermaid chief replied:
"As long as the lava lord cocoon can be imprisoned perfectly, our tribe will agree."
"Okay."
After getting a clear answer from the mermaid chief, Li Feng responded, and then he took out the seed of the purification tree.
As the tree seed with a size and shape similar to a peach pit and thick dark green skin was taken out, Li Feng, who was in the sea of fire, clearly felt a cool breeze blowing on his face.
A breath of deep forest surrounded his body, and at the same time, the "rustling" sound of wind blowing leaves rang in his ears.
'The power of hunters? '
Li Feng thought of this instinctively, but then he thought that if he didn't follow the words of the seven false gods, the power of hunters should be called the power of the forest.
On the mermaid's mural about creation, the forest and the other six extraordinary aspects were sent down by the God of Creation to purify the filth, so...
Is it also arranged in advance?
'Ha. '
With a chuckle in his heart, Li Feng no longer cared about anything else, and just threw the seeds of the tree of purification into the black hole in front of him.
The next moment, a task completion prompt appeared in front of him:
[You completed the triggering task]
[You successfully imprisoned the lava lord cocoon sealed in the angel mark]
[You obtained a description of the "godhood infected by filth"]
...
"What? A prompt for mission failure? Which task?"
On the main road facing the sea in the dock area of Fengxi City, in a house eroded by the sea breeze, Huang Yanyan sat in her office and asked the stowaway X who was slumped on the ground and had given up resistance.
A few hours ago, X escaped from the basement of Fengxi Castle. He was seriously injured by the torture of Governor Marsas and cocoon.
X knew that Huang Yanyan could treat, so before running away, he went to the school to find Huang Yanyan and asked her to treat him.
But he didn't tell the truth, and thought that Huang Yanyan couldn't do anything to him, so he didn't even bother to hide his intention to run away.
But similarly, the institute never fully trusted X.
So before he arrived at Storm Island, Qi Heng wrote to Huang Yanyan, asking him to mix plant seeds affected by the extraordinary into X's food.
Once swallowed, this seed will permanently parasitize in the human body, and will be guided by magic to germinate and grow rapidly in the human body.
Its growth will make the host live a life worse than death, but as long as the person who activates the spell controls it properly, this seed will not kill the host.
But generally speaking, for people who swallow seeds and suffer torture again and again, they prefer to die immediately.
This is what the stowaway X thought.
For this stowaway, X was really unlucky.
First, he lost the tracker for which the balance was not paid, and then the foundation of the second-level player, the core of the earth, was robbed.
If it is said at this point, X is still glad that he has a free body. As long as he works as a thug slowly, there will always be a day to catch his breath.
But now, the seeds that sprout infinitely in his body have made him lose everything.
In response, X initially hurriedly used the skill particle to escape. He thought that if he stayed away from Huang Yanyan, the other party would not be able to control the seeds in his body.
But the facts proved that he was wrong. X, who was swollen all over and in piercing pain, carried the plants growing from his seven orifices and crawled back to Huang Yanyan's office, begging her to stop the spell.
But the next moment, while Huang Yanyan was not paying attention, X took out the mourning bird again and wanted to kill Huang Yanyan.
But just as he was about to make a move, the seeds in his body passed his intention to Huang Yanyan through the connection spell.
The tree buds broke through the fingers and grew rapidly. Not only the pain in his heart, but also the hand that quickly turned into a tree made X unable to hold the weapon anymore, and the bird of mourning fell directly to the ground.
He was really unwilling, but he had tried every possible way. X finally stopped playing tricks and resisted. He sat on the ground and began to answer every question of Huang Yanyan seriously.
But at this time, a strange phenomenon suddenly occurred outside. Something blocked the sun, and Fengxi City fell into darkness.
Then there was a strong wind and flames burning the sky.
Huang Yanyan, who was in the dock area, didn't know the specific situation, but according to her analysis, it should be related to the cocoon.
Dividing her energy to pay attention, Huang Yanyan saw the soaring dragon through the window not long after.
As a player who grew up in the world without magic, Huang Yanyan saw the real ancient extraordinary creature for the first time. She stared at the dragon flying in the blue sky and looked at it in amazement.
At this moment, she suddenly heard X, who was sitting paralyzed in the middle of the room, shout softly in surprise.
"what happened?"
Turning around, Huang Yanyan knew that X's surprise was definitely not because of the dragon, so she asked seriously and coldly.
"Uh-huh——"
X hesitated for a few seconds. He could not hear the order of the little girl in front of him, but soon, the fear of the seeds growing in the body was glowing. He honestly explained:
"Yes...it's a system prompt that my mission failed."
"A reminder of mission failure?"
Huang Yanyan knew that X had two tasks, one was to seal the cocoon, and the other was to replace the governor.
She also knew that No. 67, who was at the same time as her, or Rhine in this world, also had the same two tasks as X.
Thinking about whether No. 67 had taken action, Huang Yanyan immediately asked. She clenched her hands slightly, because no matter which mission No. 67 completed, it would be at a level that would affect the world.
"Which mission did you fail in?"
Huang Yanyan asked.
"It's the task of sealing the cocoon."
X did not dare to lie. The fear of the seed in his body made him tell everything:
"The system prompts me that the task of sealing the cocoon has been completed by other players, so my task has failed."
"Did the system say who completed it?"
Although he almost knew it in his mind, Huang Yanyan was still unsure when thinking about the giant dragon that had just appeared.
No. 67 is obviously a player who just traveled into the game world a few months ago. How could he be related to the dragon?
"The system didn't say it, but...but it said 'other players'. This statement...is usually completed by players who have also received the same mission."
Seeing that Huang Yanyan was asking seriously, X did not dare to be careless and hurriedly told her his past experiences.
Seeing that X didn't look like lying, Huang Yanyan thought for a few seconds.
She recalled the details of the mission mentioned in the letter by No. 67, and understood that No. 67 was about to obtain the fragment of the Creator and would soon be qualified to repair the world.
‘If he chooses to repair the player world, does it mean that the newly opened third world for some players will be terminated. ’
Huang Yanyan seemed to see hope. To be sure, she and X, who no longer dared to lie, confirmed the usefulness of the fragments again.
After getting the affirmative answer, my heart became more emotional.
Taking a deep breath, Huang Yanyan put this good thing aside for the time being.
She still has something very important to ask X:
"Did anything else happen in the basement of Storm's End that I don't know about?"
It concerns the Governor of Storm Island, and Huang Yanyan must ask clearly.
"this……"
X, who had become a prisoner, felt that there was no need to hide the fact that he had lost the core of the earth for the sake of face.
At the moment, X just wanted to stop being tortured, so he told all his experiences and everything he had seen in the basement of Storm's End.
"What? Did you lose the core of the earth?"
Huang Yanyan was shocked. Because of her communication with No. 67, she knew that Governor Feier and Mathas might have used some kind of forbidden spell in order to be promoted.
‘So, X’s earth core was not only snatched away by the skeleton-looking Mathas, but it actually fell into the hands of the governor. ’
Unlike X who didn't understand the language and didn't even know what happened to him, Huang Yanyan immediately understood what this meant.
‘Governor Fell, the actual controller of Storm Island, he got the core of the earth, my God, the governor will get the godhead.
But in this case, what will happen to the mission No. 67? Will it also fail? ’
While Huang Yanyan was frowning and thinking, X was faintly surprised again. Huang Yanyan noticed it and asked immediately.
X stared at his system interface with shock on his stubbled face.
He could no longer figure out what kind of world the Endless Sea was, and what kind of people lived here.
"My other mission also failed. Someone got the godhead under the storm."
X sat on the ground and said weakly.
Not to mention his current situation, as far as the two tasks were concerned, he was completely eliminated in just a few days.
What was most difficult for him to understand was that these two tasks were obviously extremely difficult, but they only took a few days...
…
The square outside Fengxi City.
After dropping the seeds of the Purification Tree, Li Feng saw the tree seeds sprouting and growing in the black hole.
With the incomparably pure forest power, it grows roots, trunks, branches, and leaves in the sea of fire.
As the tree gradually grows into a towering ancient tree, as the tree crown gradually obscures the square, as the Spellweaver's fire element slowly dissipates.
The square, which was filled with the power of filth just now, has returned to a peaceful and peaceful appearance.
Feeling the surrounding environment and looking at the tree in front of him that almost required 20 people to hug, Li Feng knew that his mission was no longer in suspense, and now there was only one last step left - fishing on Storm Island.
Seeing that the forces blocked outside the square were still tentatively entering the square, Li Feng sat under the tree and prepared to fish on Storm Island to obtain the fragments of the Creator and completely complete mission one.
But at the same time, Li Feng suddenly received a system prompt.
[Tip: Other players have used the core of the earth to successfully extract the godhead under Storm Island and complete the task of godhead on Storm Island first. 】
Following the prompt, Li Feng saw that Task 2 had failed in his taskbar.
…
The basement of Storm's End Castle is an extremely secretive stone room.
Governor Fell and Mathas used the core of the earth to extract half of the godhead under the Storm Island.
"Why half godhead?"
Just when Marsas was lost and confused, an indescribable terrifying force broke into the basement with a strong murderous intention.
In a flash, the Governor and Marsas found that they were defeated, but with half of the godhead, they had a certain power to change the law.
Using the power of the godhead, they changed themselves and hid in the stone wall, and barely escaped the pursuit of the terrifying force.
After a thrilling moment, Marsas asked the Governor in fear and shock:
"Who is that terrifying power? And why did we only get half of the godhead? Where is the other half?"
Governor Fell did not answer him, because at this moment, he was staring at the system prompt.
[Tip: Other players have successfully sealed the Lava Lord Cocoon, successfully obtained the Creator Fragment, and completed the Contribution Task first. ]
At the same time, the Governor and Marsas found that their Task 1 had failed.
