Chapter 241 The Darkness That Came Back and How to Deal with It

The Nightmare Star sailed in the lightless area for nearly a day without encountering any accidents or dangers.

Except for the darkness that slowly spreads along the hull like a tarsal maggot.

During this period, Suna conducted more detailed experiments to test the characteristics of darkness.

For example, when ice eggs (white fragments) are exposed to darkness, it is found that the activity of darkness decreases.

This shows that low-temperature environments can also hinder the spread of darkness.

Furthermore, Su Na also conducted a test on whether darkness is a living entity.

She threw the bottled darkness into the hearth of life, and no fire came out.

This shows that the cluster of darkness is not a living being with a soul...

“This thing is made up of countless black particles that spontaneously aggregate together.

Although they resemble microorganisms, they are not killed by disinfectants such as alcohol and are resistant to extreme temperature environments.

Once it comes into contact with other substances, whether living or inanimate, it will corrode, and the results will be manifested as deterioration, aging, decay and other effects.

It is also effective for metals and wood. Metals will rust if they are in contact for a long time, and wood will decay. However, compared to living things and organisms, the effects of these two are much smaller. No changes can be seen at all after short-term contact.

Metals that are not easily oxidized, such as gold, will be much more resistant to darkness, as will high-quality wood.

It has no obvious effect on the skeleton..."

Yang Yi is reading the experimental report sent by Su Na.

The attached pictures include an oxidized and rusted metal mesh, a strength test of wood, a piece of meat that has deteriorated and decayed after contact, a gold mesh that has not changed, etc.

“During erosion, the amount of darkness increases, similar to reproduction, which is especially noticeable when in contact with living things or organisms…

This thing is like...darkness come alive. "

Suna finally added her own opinion.

"Also, I haven't had time to look at the blood stains on the portal redemption coupons, but judging from the condition, it should be human blood, and it's still fresh. It was either stained not long ago, or it was well preserved... "

"Okay, you go and rest first!" Yang Yi replied, asking Su Na to stop the experiment and go back to the room to rest.

During this time, Yang Yi has been thinking about ways to resist the darkness. After much thought, he finally chose flames.

If the Redemptor Armor had not been contaminated by the Forsaken Soul, its original brilliance might have been able to dispel the darkness.

But after it was contaminated, it was good that the armor did not attract darkness, and the matching radiance spells were all contaminated and became extremely blasphemous.

Moreover, according to the information obtained about the Glory Holy Cult, most of the armors produced by this sect will glow.

This may be a deliberate setting to block out the darkness.

Therefore, the cheapest and most practical way to dispel darkness is to find it from the Holy Religion of Glory.

But there is currently no way but to use flames as an alternative.

Yang Yi spent more than 800 pieces of wood to build several bonfires in the atrium of the deck.

These bonfires can be lit when necessary to block the spread of darkness and buy time for Yang Yi and Suna to climb the mast.

Yang Yi removed the vines near the bonfire, including the mast and surrounding areas, to prevent the flames from igniting the vines and then igniting the Nightmare Star.

After half an hour, the world chat trading channel will be opened.

At that time, Yang Yi plans to buy more wood and various basic materials including food to build a more complete defense line.

The several bonfires in the atrium can only be regarded as the penultimate line of defense.

Yang Yi came to the edge of the deck and checked the speed of the darkness spreading.

This speed is not constant and has been slowly increasing.

From less than 1 centimeter per hour at the beginning, it has developed to 1.5 centimeters per hour.

The deck of the Nightmare Star is a full 4.2 meters, or 420 centimeters, above the sea.

If the rate of spread continues to increase, it is likely that darkness will creep onto the deck in less than a week.

"Had I known it, I would have bought more wood. I don't know if the items purchased in the transaction can be delivered in time."

Yang Yi frowned.

He took a look at his energy level, which was only 42. After all, he hadn't rested since before the teleportation.

Su Na's energy level was even lower, only 35, so Yang Yi told her to go to bed first.

The Nightmare Star is currently sailing automatically. The old captain has had his fishing rod confiscated and is currently on strike.

Fishing in this sea may be risky. Yang Yi didn't have time to try it yet, so he confiscated the old captain's fishing rod just in case.

The safe zone is protected by the system and cannot be used in this situation.

He drank a bottle of energizing coconut juice and regained some energy.

"You have to drink sparingly..."

Yang Yi calculated that including the Vitality Coconut in stock, there were less than 20 bottles of Vitality Coconut Juice left on hand.

Suna walked out of the cabin at this time, her face a little tired, and walked towards the room.

It looked like he was getting ready for bed.

Yang Yi planned to rest after Su Na woke up.

When he wakes up, he still has a lot to do.

Including trying fishing and trying out the delicious potted plants from before.

It’s been a long time since I got this potted plant, but I didn’t use it because I wasn’t sure which sea area it would be sent to by the system.

Now, you can take the time to try it.

If there is danger, you can kick it into the sea and let the darkness take care of it.

Yang Yi rested on the deck for a while, looked at the chart in the crystal ball, then got up and walked to the captain's cabin.

Before 23:00, he spent another 100 points and bought 10 micro blind boxes.

The main purpose is to confirm whether the guaranteed prize includes a small blind box exchange voucher.

Ten blind boxes in a row, three are empty, and the remaining six are small snacks, and three are basic resources, and there is only one unit of each.

The guaranteed prize is a discount voucher for 100 minus 20 points, which can be used to deduct 20 points, which exceeds the selling price of the blind box.

"It is indeed a trap."

Yang Yi drew ten more miniature blind boxes for verification.

This time, the goods were delivered, and two small blind box exchange vouchers were obtained, from the fifth and tenth draws.

This shows that there is still a probability of getting the next level blind box exchange voucher by drawing the next level blind box, and it is not too low.

At the same time, it is precisely because of this setting that it is easier to get people.

After all, probability sometimes deviates from science and is linked to the ethereal luck.

It is also common for small probability = probability of 100%, and large probability = probability of almost zero.

Yang Yi has seen a lot, especially in games, and is even ridiculed by players as XX probability.

Yang Yi spent two small blind box exchange coupons and got 10 wood and an empty box.

After the first ten consecutive draws, the probability of an empty box increased significantly.

The guarantee for the small blind box remained at 2/10, and Yang Yi did not continue to draw, anyway, the guarantee would be retained.

Before he had enough 100,000 points, he would not continue to touch the blind box.

The time soon came to 23:00, and the world chat channel lit up.
