Chapter 149 Beyond the Barrier
Seeing Oda's bloody last words, Wu Chang couldn't hold back any longer.
One fish, two meals, is there such a good thing?
The dead person is the most important. Since Xiao Baga wrote his last words so sincerely, he must fulfill the other party's last wish.
The completion of Ronin's bloody last words increased Wu Chang's agility and will attributes by one point each, and his inspiration by two points.
As the attribute points increased, Wu Chang's inspiration officially reached 100 points.
When he reached 100 points of inspiration, his vision became hazy, and he entered a state similar to an out-of-body experience.
His consciousness began to rise, flying to the endless sky. The speed of his soul rising was very slow, but it didn't take long before he touched a barrier, a barrier covered by gray mist.
That barrier restricted his soul, or in other words, restricted his inspiration, preventing him from spreading his inspiration beyond the barrier.
What are the barriers dividing?
Is the divided Midnight Cemetery dungeon area?
Or is it the first and second layers of the abyss that are separated?
He was very curious and wanted to see what was beyond the barrier. Stimulated by his curiosity, his inspiration expanded, making his perception of the sky become clearer.
Under his enhanced perception, the gray fog inside and outside the barrier became thinner, allowing him to vaguely see the existence outside.
He spread his inspiration around and finally found the right angle.
Through the gap in the gray fog, he saw countless pairs of eyes waiting on the other side of the barrier.
Some of these eyes are full of greed, and they want to pass through the barrier immediately and squeeze into the barrier.
The other part of the eyes was more complicated, mixed with greed and some emotions that showed dissatisfaction.
When Wu Chang "saw" them, they also discovered Wu Chang.
Immediately afterwards, a vague whisper came from Wu Chang's ears. The whisper tempted him to worship the existence outside and give his soul and piety. He would get everything he wanted.
Facing the invitation from outside the barrier, Wu Chang showed a middle finger in reply.
In an instant, a pot exploded outside the barrier.
They couldn't tolerate an ant inside the barrier and showed disrespect to them. Just as they were accumulating strength and preparing to give Wu Chang a hard blow through the barrier, Wu Chang's soul suddenly fell and was retracted into his body.
When he opened his eyes, his consciousness had returned to his physical body. The moment he sat up, he felt dizzy and had a splitting headache.
hiss.
Such a powerful extraterrestrial demon could actually injure him through a barrier, and the injury was so serious that the injury traveled directly from his soul to his body.
He reached out to cover his head and felt a big bump on his forehead. It hurt so much that he almost burst into tears.
He turned his head and saw Eileen standing next to him, as well as the firm light in Eileen's hand, and suddenly felt something was wrong.
"What just happened?"
Honest Irene said without hiding anything: "Just now your inspiration went berserk, your soul left the body uncontrollably, and you saw something you shouldn't have seen. I noticed something following your eyes. Locked on and stretched out its tentacles, so I used the true form of the god to interrupt its tentacles and wake you up. "
As Irene said, she thrust a transparent tentacle into Wu Chang, and from the way the tentacle turned into fleshy flesh, it could be seen that it was broken by brute force.
Wu Chang swallowed and asked, "Breaking it and waking me up are the same action?"
Erin nodded, waved the firm light in her hand to signal, and said, "I just tapped it lightly."
Wu Chang looked at the hammer that was the size of a bucket of water in the Steadfast Light. He said, "Hey guys, the prisoner has been found. If this was more important, I would send him away instead of waking him up."
He said that, bound by the laws of the wilderness, even if Irene's body was within the wilderness, there would be many restrictions on using the god's true body, so why could those things outside hurt him.
If Irene hadn't had an almost saintly character, he would have suspected that Irene slapped two of her teeth out in revenge for him awakening her physical body in a quiet town.
No, whoever is injured must be held responsible.
He pointed to the big bulge on his forehead and said to Erin, "I need treatment."
Erin waved the light of determination as a staff, "Wait a moment, I will treat you right now."
Wu Chang quickly grabbed Irene's hand, "This small injury can be treated without a staff. Put the hammer away quickly, I'm scared."
He began to regret giving Eileen the Light of Determination. If it had been a sword or a flag, there wouldn't have been so much trouble.
Looking at Wu Chang's appearance, Irene seemed to have discovered something. She hesitated for a moment, put away the light of determination, caressed Wu Chang's cheeks with both hands, and pressed her forehead to Wu Chang's forehead.
The next moment, holy light magic flashed, and the headache on Wu Chang's forehead disappeared.
Irene took half a step back, then blew on Wu Chang's forehead, "The pain flies away."
After doing all this, Erin's cheeks were slightly red and she said, "When I was injured when I was a child, the nuns from the church treated me like this. Is it better now?"
Wu Chang just wanted to nod, but suddenly shook his head violently and covered his mouth in pain.
"My mouth seems to be injured too. I'm in so much pain. Miss Eileen, please help me heal it."
Irene tilted her head in confusion, but soon understood what Wu Chang was thinking, her cheeks turned a little red, and she took out the Light of Determination in her hand again.
"Since the injury is so serious, more powerful magic must be used."
Wu Chang jumped up from the ground and said without embarrassment: "Haha, it seems that I made a mistake. It was just residual pain just now, and no treatment is needed."
Avoiding Irene's gaze, he first checked the transparent tentacles.
"Item name: Twisted Consciousness"
"Item type: Special"
"Item description: It comes from a part of a powerful existence, which contains powerful energy and can be used as alchemical materials."
The transparent tentacles should come from a deep existence in the abyss, but compared to Lehman's real eyeballs, a section of consciousness tentacles is much less valuable.
Maybe it can be sold at a good price as an alchemical material, but it is too troublesome. Such high-level materials may not be used by alchemical players in the wilderness. It is better to treat it as an energy body and let it directly become combat power.
He took out the Mortal Poison first, and found that the Mortal Poison had no appetite, so he took out the Golden Throne.
The Golden Throne is not picky at all. After activating the skill "Treasure", the transparent tentacles turned into a fist-sized transparent diamond, which was embedded on the Golden Throne, instantly activating the other three forms of the Golden Throne.
Obtaining the transparent tentacles is just a bonus for completing the Bloody Will. The Bloody Will of the Ronin not only brings attribute values to Wu Chang, but also brings a skill.
"Skill name: Iaido"
"Skill level: B"
"Skill description: Accumulate energy to enhance the next attack, and the effect can be superimposed with other skills. The enhancement effect depends on the charging time. The upper limit of the charging increase is three seconds, and the maximum damage increase multiplier is three times."
"Remarks: A true master will definitely defeat the enemy instantly when he attacks, and one hit will kill!"
Iaido's skill effect is simple and crude, that is, charging crit. The longer the charging is, the more painful the crit is.
There are two highlights of the skill. One is that the charging length can be freely selected, and the other is that there is no limited weapon.
In other words, he can use the charging mode and aggregation superposition of the Dawn Hammer to increase the damage when he sneaks.
Who says American Iai is not Iai?
After counting the harvest, Wu Chang and Haner found the horses that Luz and others rode when they came, and rushed to the Serina city.
Killing Mikel I, the main task of the dungeon has not been declared completed, and the bloody will of the Miracle Moon has not been settled, which means that everything is not over yet.
The missing part of breaking the situation should be to solve the turmoil caused by the eternal life of the blood moon and the Soul Light Sect.
The zombie tide caused by the blood moon is now gathering towards the Serina city. When they get there, they can solve the two troubles at the same time.
During the journey, Wu Chang's brows were furrowed, and there was no joy that the dungeon was about to break.
The reason lies in the information he found in the ronin's resentment.
The Soul Light Sect is a branch of the Tranquility Sect. Those evil god believers are all born bad Bs. It is normal for them to sabotage in order to please Lehman.
But why would someone hire the Iron Armored Group to deliberately let the dungeon go out of control?
Will they only target the Midnight Cemetery dungeon?
Wu Chang thought that this possibility was very low. From the fragmented memory fragments of the ronin, he saw that the Iron Armored Corps alone accepted the commission to make four copies out of control.
His inspiration told him that those who hired the Iron Armored Corps might be more troublesome than the Church of Tranquility.
It was normal for a madman to go crazy, but if a normal person went crazy, the purpose he wanted to achieve by going crazy would probably not be simple.
He had a hunch that something big was coming.
On the way to the city of Serena, they encountered several waves of zombies.
The zombies affected by the blood moon were extremely aggressive and took the initiative to attack all living people along the way.
Serena, which symbolizes peace, has no peace at all.
As an old Serena man, Haner's face was so gloomy that water could be squeezed out.
"Those bastards of the Soul Light Sect, they really dared to do this!"
If the Blood Moon Eternal Life was the sin of Mikel I, the attack on the gravekeeper and the spread of the Blood Moon Eternal Life to the entire Serena were definitely caused by the Soul Light Sect.
In the holy city of Serena, it is obvious what they want to do by doing this.
Triggering a miracle.
But Haner couldn't figure it out. The Soul Light Sect could obviously trigger a miracle stably, so why did they choose this method?
Haner couldn't figure it out, but Wu Chang knew it very well.
It is not difficult to see from the ritual of resurrection that the so-called miracles are probably just a trick to deceive the natives of the copy with the help of the Abyss Game and the ability of the Tranquility Sect.
What the Fire Master needs is a real miracle.
Coincidentally, Wu Chang's main task 2 also requires a real miracle.
Since the two have the same goal and the Fire Master is working so hard, how can we justify not helping him?
When the group arrived near the Serena city, the city gate had been closed, and countless zombies surrounded the city wall, looking like a zombie siege.
However, the height of the city wall was not a problem in front of the true self of the giant whale, who was nearly 20 meters tall after the transformation.
Under the leadership of Haner, an old Serena man, several people found a remote section of the city wall and easily climbed into the city.
However, when climbing over the wall, they noticed that the zombies seemed to be attracted by something, and they changed from surrounding the city irregularly to moving closer to certain sections of the wall.
Something must have happened to those sections of the wall, but Wu Chang and others were unable to get away, so they could only leave a note to remind the guards when they passed by the wall.
After entering the Serina city area, Wu Chang and Han Er followed the secret passage where the corpses were transported by the collectors and sneaked into the underground of the Soul Light Cathedral.
At this time, the underground workshop was busy.
There were zombies contaminated by the blood moon being sent here continuously. After being processed, they were turned into bricks and sent to the upper floors of the cathedral.
If all the zombies tonight were cast into bricks to replace the remaining ordinary bricks in the cathedral, then even if the miracle of the Soul Light Cathedral was fake, it would become real at that time.
Wu Chang was familiar with the internal layout of the Soul Light Cathedral. He led everyone to avoid the patrol guards and successfully came to the elevator.
He was about to go to the second underground floor to collect the erosion core in the secret room first. When he stood on the elevator, he suddenly felt a thunder spirit from below.
His inspiration told him that he longed for that thunder spirit. To be precise, it was the thunder magic fragments in his body that were longing for it.
He didn't have this feeling when he came to the Soul Light Cathedral last time.
Is the Tranquility Church restocking again?
The inspiration exceeded 100, which not only allowed Wu Chang to see the barrier of the wilderness and the existence of the wilderness, but also brought him many benefits.
One of them is to make the originally vague inspiration flash and become directed.
Judging from the posture of the palm fire, the ritual that triggers the miracle will continue for a while. He chooses to believe in his inspiration and go underground first.
On the fourth underground floor of the Soul Light Cathedral, there are two monsters with deformed bodies, tumor-like muscles all over their bodies, and limbs full of cuts and sutures.
From the few empty flat faces left on them, it can be seen that they were once human beings.
The two deformed guards are not weak, and they have the strength of the wandering monsters in the kingdom's cemetery.
If Wu Chang explored here before, he could only squat around and slowly release poison if he wanted to take them down without triggering the alarm.
But now, everything is much easier.
The real self activates social phobia and advanced stealth, one in each hand, and crushes two monsters with a little force.
This is the charm of numbers.
The higher the strength attribute of the real self, the smaller the strength attribute absorbed by swallowing. When his strength exceeds 200, the decline is particularly obvious.
The anger of the two monsters only brought 15 points of strength attribute.
Wu Chang found the key from the two pools of meat mud and opened the heavy stone door.
As soon as the stone door was opened, the strong smell of blood and the smell of rotting flesh came to his face. If he listened carefully, he could hear miserable wails from behind the stone door.
Wu Chang sniffed. The smell of the fourth floor underground of the Soul Light Church reminded him of the small dungeon of the grocery store in the quiet town.
Obviously, the existence behind the stone door was not pleasant.
In order to prevent these things from dirtying Irene's eyes, he arranged for Irene to keep an eye out outside and not follow in.
He and Haner walked into the fourth floor underground. It was indeed a huge dungeon inside, but it was much more professional than the small dungeon of the grocery store owner Marty.
Since entering the dungeon, the screams have not stopped for a moment. The prisoners were locked up in the cells. Even if they were not tortured, the scars left on their bodies were enough to make them immersed in pain.
In the center of the dungeon, there was a small branch made of flesh and blood. Wu Chang could recognize it at a glance. It was a young miracle tree.
The branch swayed and swayed in the wailing and begging for mercy, and grew slowly.
Pain and despair have always been the best breeding ground for the birth of wishes. The Soul Light Sect imprisoned these people in the dungeon and tortured them endlessly. It was not just a simple torture, but also to nourish the miracle tree.
When the branch was thick enough, it was transplanted back to the main body.
Through the gaps in the torture room, you can see that the more you go inward, the more cruel and exaggerated the torture instruments in the torture room are. Under the blessing of alchemy and mysticism, it can even be done to peel out the prisoner's brain, connect the nerves to different bodies at the same time, and experience multiple punishments at the same time.
Even Han Er, who has seen a lot, vomited three times along the way.
The thunder spirit that attracted him came from a torture room in the deepest part.
Thinking of the scenes in the previous cells, Wu Chang couldn't help but sweat for the prisoners imprisoned inside.
As they approached the torture chamber, they happened to see the executioners changing shifts. Several executioners in black robes walked into the torture chamber carrying an exaggerated alchemical device.
"How is it, did he confess?" The questioner was very worried, fearing that the local authorities could not help but confess.
The executioner who was about to change shifts wiped the blood on his hands and said happily: "No, he always insisted that he did not steal the holy fire. I haven't met such a tough guy for a long time."
The questioner couldn't wait to say: "Hehe, he is the type I like. Hurry up and hand over. It's my turn!"
Ding ding ding.
There was a knock at the door of the torture chamber. The two turned around and found a strange face standing next to the open door.
An executioner asked: "What do you do?"
Wu Chang touched his chin with his hand and said: "I'm here to rob the prison."
As soon as the voice fell, the two executioners disappeared out of thin air and were pulled into the Kingdom of Gold.
Five minutes later, Wu Chang appeared in the torture chamber with the bodies of the two. He took a look inside the torture chamber with a very strange expression.
The two executioners told him that the Pope had caught the thief who stole the Holy Flame and ordered them to torture him severely to force him to tell the whereabouts of the Holy Flame.
The thief was very stubborn. He was tortured for more than an hour and experienced almost all the difficult props, but he still refused to give in.
Wu Chang tutted and pushed open the door of the cell. He heard someone pushing the door in and the prisoner made a faint sound of breathing.
"Kill me, I really don't know anything, hurry up, kill me."
Wu Chang observed carefully for a long time before he recognized the humanoid object inside.
Isn't this Lei Hu? How come he has become so lame after not seeing him for a few days?
At this moment, Lei Hu looked like he had been repeatedly ravaged by the enhanced version of the base four. He had no sharpness of a strong PVP player, his eyes were dull and stupid, and he looked extremely miserable.
"Hey, isn't this Brother Lei Hu?"
Hearing Wu Chang's voice, Lei Hu was shocked, as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw. He opened his eyes wide and looked around anxiously, shouting:
"Who are you? Are you a player too? Save me out!"
Wu Chang coughed lightly and said, "Of course I can save you, but the reward..."
"Here! I'll give you whatever you want! As long as you save me out, I can do anything!" Lei Hu said.
Wu Chang said: "My request is very simple. I just need you to give me one thing and answer one question for me."
Lei Hu: "Just ask!"
"I am very interested in the thunder spirit power in you. In addition to the job change of Lei Lishi, you should also have a matching technique."
Lei Hu was silent for a moment. He didn't expect the other party to know him so well. Lei Hu's desire to survive forced him to calm down and said:
"I have a technique, but I have already learned it. As long as you save me, I can sign an agreement with you. After returning to the Crimson Courtyard, I will use props to make a copy for you."
Wu Chang simply said: "Forget it."
"No, I'll give it to you right away!"
Lei Hu didn't expect the other party to not give him any room for negotiation. Thinking of the fate he would face after the executioner came back, he immediately admitted his weakness and took out a book from his personal space and put it in front of Wu Chang.
Wu Chang picked up the technique, saw the system prompt, confirmed it was correct, and continued to ask:
"Wouldn't it be better if we had cooperated earlier?"
Compared to Wu Chang's leisurely pace, Lei Hu was almost going crazy, and urged: "If you have any questions, ask them quickly! They will be back soon!"
"You only have one chance, you should seize it. Tell me, who is the guy who hired you to make the copy out of control?"
