Chapter 105 [Corruption Abyss Outpost] New Notes Information (Please Subscribe)
Looking at the introduction of the "awakened version" of the [Holy Relic · Azure Medal] in front of him, Ryan was stunned. After a long time, he came back to his senses with ecstasy in his eyes.
He thought that the fully awakened [Holy Relic · Azure Medal] would be very strong, but he didn't expect it to be so strong.
First of all, the simplest and most brutal point is that the physical fitness level has been increased from the original "+2" to "+3". Although the upper limit is 20 levels, this has not changed, but for Ryan, there is no need to consider the level limit of 20 in a short time.
——
[Physique]: 35.82→45.81
——
Only one level difference has caused Ryan's [Physique] to soar to 45.81. This is the terrible thing about exponential growth in the late stage.
The power as strong as a Tyrannosaurus Rex surged in his body. At this moment, Ryan even felt that he could compete with the lower three-star monster with only the strength of his body.
Of course, he also knew that this was just an illusion caused by his own sudden increase in strength.
Compared with the special species, he, a human with flesh and blood, has no claws and no solid scales. With bare hands, even if he is stronger, he cannot be the opponent of the special species, not to mention that the special species also master various strange abilities, such as fire, magma, torrents, etc.
"Huh..."
Letting out a long breath, suppressing the restlessness in his heart, Ryan carefully studied the second effect of the awakening of [Relic · Azure Medal] - [Weapon-Great Sword] derivative skill tree.
[Special Sword Skill-Attack Collision] and [Special Sword Skill-Defense Collision].
Unlike the [Storm Sword Skill] he had practiced before, these two special sword skills are essentially for the charging of the great sword. Their core function is to ensure that the charging process of the great sword is not interrupted and even use the enemy's attack to reversely speed up its own charging speed.
All along, Ryan needed to find a suitable time when charging the sword to slash: most of the time, he took advantage of the monster's "fainting" state to "charge", and when fighting against highly mobile enemies like the black knight, he didn't even have time to charge, and could only use a simple attack, because he was afraid that the charging would be interrupted, which would put himself in a disadvantageous situation.
The charging of [Storm Sword Skill-Broken Wave] is a very delicate skill. If the enemy attacks during the charging process, even a relatively weak blow will be interrupted.
Now, with these two "special sword skills", the situation will be very different.
According to the literal description, the effect of [Special Sword Skill-Attack Collision] is to actively charge forward when the greatsword is about to be attacked by the enemy during the charging process, and use the protective film formed by "blood and qi" to keep oneself in a "dominant state" and prevent the enemy from interrupting the charging.
As for the upper limit of the damage that "blood and qi" can withstand, it is based on his [physique] strength. As for the specifics, we will know after actual combat.
The second [Special Sword Skill - Defensive Charge] is even more interesting: in the 0.5 second "golden time" before the enemy's attack falls, he raises his greatsword and charges forward. Unlike the former, this special sword skill does not require him to charge.
If he can complete an effective "defensive block" within the "golden time", the "blood" will flow back, and he will immediately gain a "charge period".
If this special sword skill is used well, he can almost use "charge period" as a flat attack in actual combat.
Of course, the specific consumption of these two special sword skills still needs to be grasped in practice later.
Looking at the medal in his hand flashing with a brilliant blue light, Ryan was full of emotion.
[Sacred Relic - Azure Medal], the help he has brought to his journey is simply immeasurable, and the deputy leader of the Seventh Scouting Hunting Group, Loic, who left this [Sacred Relic] to him, recorded this sacred relic in his notes as "something that cannot be brought with him, but is still useful".
This sentence means that the strength of the deputy leader of the 7th Scouting Hunting Group, Loyk, has a high probability of exceeding the upper limit of level 20, so that the medal has no blessing effect on him.
Ryan can't imagine the strength of level 20 now, and the deputy leader Loyk with such strength seems to have never looked back after going deep into the isolated island...
Shaking his head, Ryan no longer thinks about it. For him, what he needs to do now is to improve his strength as much as possible before reaching the depths of the isolated island and the "anchor point".
Compared with the deputy leader Loyk, he also has an extraordinary system from another world. Even if the level is the same, his combat power is far superior.
After practicing the storm sword skills for a while and adapting to the skyrocketing physical fitness, Ryan left the cave and headed deeper.
Before defeating the [upper] unicorn, he wanted to improve as much as possible.
...
The passage of the underground cave is winding and complicated. Ryan first returned to the wetland cave where he had previously defeated the mud dragon, and went down from its deep entrance.
It is always right to walk along the water source.
What surprised Ryan was that he walked for half an hour and did not encounter a large cave. Instead, there was a faint smell of decay in the air, and the algae growing on the surrounding rock walls, although still glowing, turned purple, which made him frown.
But now that we are here, it is unrealistic to turn around. After all, the main body is still in the Blood Moon Temple. Freni does not know when she will wake up. Her time is limited and she needs to return as soon as possible.
After walking for another five minutes, a suddenly bright light appeared at the end of the passage ahead. Ryan's eyes moved slightly and he quickened his pace.
Near the exit, there is a fork to the left. The passage is so small that normal humans can barely pass through it only by turning sideways.
Ryan thought for a while and prepared to get in first to take a look. The rotten smell coming from the exit in front became stronger and stronger, casting an inexplicable shadow over his heart.
[Spirituality] At his level, the warnings he felt would never be groundless.
Drilling down the long and narrow path that was more like a rock crevice than a passage, what appeared in front of Ryan was a relatively spacious small cave.
From the top of the cave, there are wisps of light projected down. Looking upward, you can see a small opening at a very high position, which seems to lead to the outside world.
In the center of the cave, there is a bonfire that has been abandoned for a long time, with stone pots, chairs, grills and other man-made objects sandwiched beside it.
As for the edge of the cave, there are a stone bed, a pair of stone tables and benches, and a simple stone shelf formed by digging deep into the cave wall.
"This is?"
The prompt in gray font appeared in front of Ryan's eyes.
[You have discovered a gathering place of spiritual beings - Fuyuan Outpost. 】
[You can set up a "bonfire" here to achieve rapid teleportation to the "starting point" and other "bonfire points". 】
[When you are in the "Bonfire", you can use other functions except "Return". 】
[——Whether you are a navigator or a hunter, adequate rest is a very important thing. 】
"New campfire spot!"
There was intense joy in Ryan's eyes.
Can't wait, he walked to the bonfire that had been silent for who knows how many years, stretched out his hand and touched it gently.
"Huh...huh..."
A spark fell from Ryan's palm and landed on the bonfire. The next second, a cluster of flames appeared slowly and formed a vigorous burning bonfire at an extremely fast speed.
Invisible warm waves swept through his body, and Ryan felt as if he was soaking in a hot spring, feeling extremely relaxed.
Having a new campfire spot means that Ryan does not have to waste time on the road during his next travel trip, which is of great significance to him.
After lighting the "Bonfire Point-Fuyuan Outpost", Ryan stood up and went to the stone shelf nearby. When he saw the notes placed on it, his eyes shimmered.
Reaching out and carefully picking up the notebook, he opened it and saw the familiar fonts, which made it hard to suppress the joy in Ryan's eyes.
Sure enough, it was the record left by Loic, the deputy leader of the 7th Scouting and Hunting Regiment!
Since the "Bonfire Point-Gap between the Giant Trees" in the ancient forest area, Ryan has never seen any traces left by the deputy leader Loick. Now that he finally sees it again, how can he not be excited?
Deputy Captain Loic's notes mean more information about this island!
Although there is already a visible source of information like the "Hermit Dragon Man", what that guy said is vague and completely inferior to the deputy leader, Loik.
Ryan looked at the records in his notes, and the translation in gray fonts jumped before his eyes.
[...The influence of red obsidian on us is getting more and more serious...At this moment, there are only four people left in the team...Fortunately, after withstanding the initial erosion of red obsidian, our bodies seem to have become stronger. Some, although there are some "minor" side effects, but as long as you can still keep your consciousness clear, as long as you can find out the truth of everything, no matter how big the effort is, it will be worth it...]
[...It's been a while since I've been deep into the inner ring area. The upper level here is covered with yellow sand, and the lower level is intricately connected with caves...]
[…When we got here, the strength of the monsters that inhabited became much stronger. Even monsters of [upper] subjugation level appeared quite a lot. The true red knight wandering in the desert, the roaring black tiger guarding the door… 】
[...According to the established plan, our team was supposed to go straight into the central area, but before that, I made an amazing discovery... Deep underground, I felt the residual aura of the "ancient dragon"...]
[…Even if it’s not the first contact, the terrifying power still makes people shudder… Is the master of the breath the “him” we have been pursuing? 】
[I don’t know if anyone can see the record I left. It’s probably unlikely... But no matter what, if someone gets here, please be careful. Before going to the ‘Rotten Abyss’, please do your best. Maybe prepare some medicine to relieve the "miasma poison"...]
[Seventh Scouting and Hunting Regiment, deputy commander, Loic Frum, stay. 】
