After the Barbarian's fourth-tier talent was released, some players were sad, some were happy... but 'Inexplicable' was a mixture of sadness and joy.
It is a summoning skill, but not a summoned creature. Its strength is affected by the character's attributes.
Inexplicably, all the equipment, skills, and constellations are used to strengthen the summoned creature!
This ancestor summoning has no effect at all!
The only outstanding attribute of this pet is its health. The general understanding of summoners is that it must die after its pet.
Meat is a must!
Anyway, as long as you don't die, you can rely on summoned creatures to deal damage continuously.
"Should I summon three tanky barbarians?"
"It's not unacceptable."
"It's better than having the talent of wielding a sword and a stick. Who knows, maybe it has some special functions? For example, give it a few aura skills to strengthen my other pets..."
Mo Ming's mentality quickly adjusted, and he even began to look forward to the skills of the three summoned barbarians.
At this moment, a bold idea suddenly popped into my mind.
"Huh!? Wait! Giant Dog, read the skill description again!"
Xigou looked at him and read it again in confusion.
“Barbarian Class Talent—Ancestor Summoning: Randomly summon the phantoms of 3 creators of the Barbarian’s inherited skills. They will use their abilities to help you solve problems (the phantom is not a summoned creature, and its strength is affected by the attribute bonus of the person)”
Bang!
Mo Ming slapped his thigh and said, "What a joke! Isn't this the best talent for a barbarian? Think about it... What is the most lacking in this profession?"
Washing machine: "Outbreak?"
Please master punish Fugui: "You lack long-range means... It would be best if you could get a 40-meter sword to chop me up."
Riben Guizi: "The lack of energy output types and the drawbacks of relying solely on physical output were particularly evident on the Eastern battlefield."
It's a panda, not a cat: "Uh... maybe it's because I lack expansion skills? I feel like every skill is okay, but there's no follow-up..."
Everyone started talking about it, and all they said were the various shortcomings. This inheritance has never had any high-level skills, and there are some in other aspects, but not much, so it seems to be significantly different from other more complete inheritances.
Lin Tang laughed, "There are too many things missing. This inheritance system is not complete at all. I guess it is probably a semi-finished product that the planners experimented with at the beginning, and then they adjusted it into a mature system. I suggest that the planners give each player a bottle of job-changing water, and everyone can make a new choice."
At this moment, an inexplicable smile appeared.
"Lin Tangju is right. Let's not talk about changing the professional items for now, but what the Barbarian inheritance lacks in the end is... skills! A large number of skills!"
"And take a look at the introduction of this talent. It randomly summons the phantoms of the creators of three Barbarian inheritance skills... They are the ones who create skills! Doesn't that mean you can learn skills directly from these phantoms!?"
“Hiss~~~”
Everyone gasped in surprise. For the first time, they felt a sense of reliability in Mo Ming!
The thin dog let out an "aww~" and nodded vigorously.
"Inexplicably, you found the blind spot!"
"Maybe we can really give it a try! Then I will choose ancestor summoning! Let me show you around!"
Xigou was also quite responsible at this time. In order to prevent other players with barbarian expertise from going astray, he chose to do the experiment himself!
Anyway, the Night Blade's talent Darkness Falls doesn't bring much bonus to him, a warrior who is half tank and half DPS of the team. Most of the time he needs to help his teammates resist damage and rely on operations to attract the boss's attention. If he disappears into the darkness... his teammates will be in danger.
Moreover, their team's biological clock is to act during the day, sort out the harvest at night, trade with other players, etc., so they rarely take advantage of the Night Blade's enhanced passive 'See Through' at night, and... Night is the time when the Void Spirits go berserk, so it is better to choose to deal with them during the day.
So, under the witness of many players, Xigou chose the talent - Ancestor Summoning!
After making the choice, thick fog emerged from behind Xigou, and a large number of shadows flashed by. In the rolling fog, sets of equipment shadows kept appearing on Xigou's body.
Iron Armor... Ranger Suit... Black Robe... Beast Fur...
After a quick tour of equipment with different attributes, Xigou let out a sudden roar, and a dark flaming lotus suddenly appeared on his brow!
A huge figure sitting on a stone chair flashed behind the black flame lotus.
The power of the flaming lotus directly devoured the other phantoms and turned into a mark that fell on Xigou's forehead, like a mark of a contract.
"It's done!"
The vision ended, and Xigou felt the memories deep in his soul and realized that he had completely mastered the gift of ancestral summoning.
But there was a slight change in the text on the skill.
Talent Skill - Ancestor Summoning (Underworld Lotus)
"Huh? This is... there are different versions?"
Xigou was very surprised, but the next second, Moming, who had been paying attention to this side, reacted instantly.
"I think I saw the shadow of Hades just now! The lotus of the underworld... I can't be wrong! He must have been here just now!"
He is the only player who has seen the true form of Hades!
Xigou was puzzled: "How is my talent related to the God of Hell?"
If it weren't for Mo Ming who had always been hostile to the God of Hades, other players would never have thought of this random boss with whom they had no interaction. They just heard that the Lord's Shadow Guard had fought him before, was slightly better, and brought back a few skills...
Everyone felt very strange.
Lao Bai asked: "Mo Ming, did you see it wrong? What does the fourth level of the thin dog have to do with him? The logic doesn't make sense."
The fox demon suddenly nodded.
"I understand... The God of Hell may be the creator of the Barbarian system. Perhaps we, like the Oathkeepers, will receive some blessings from him after we are promoted to the fourth level."
Many inherited skills have their own gods of faith, which is not a bad thing.
Cheng Shaofeng, who was watching everything silently, frowned.
"Coincidence? Or... calculation?"
After he was promoted to the 4th level, he thought back to the trip to the underworld. Some of the decisions and strategies that seemed powerful at the time, when he used his 4th level combat power, became full of loopholes.
At the fourth level, one already has the absolute power to crush those at the three levels below!
The God of the Underworld... is an existence beyond the fifth level!
Even though it was locked up, it could still emit a powerful pressure. He had bred so many Nether Demon creatures, and Cheng Shaofeng didn't believe that there wasn't a fourth-level one among them!
If a fourth-level person had taken action, all their plans at that time would have been impossible to implement!
"Is it that the Underworld cannot cultivate a fourth-level demon, or... has the Underworld God already calculated this day?"
While Cheng Shaofeng was deep in thought, Xigou had already used the ancestor summoning for the first time.
"Rise up, ancestor of the barbarians!"
When everyone heard Xigou's lines, a string of black lines appeared on their faces.
Hibiki Keiko: "Oh my god! Look at this terrible line..."
The dark flame lotus mark on the thin dog's head lit up, and three phantoms emerged from the ground and formed in front of him.
2 phantoms of normal height and 1... giant phantom!
The giant's shadow looked around the space, with the corner of his mouth slightly raised in a dragon king's arc.
"The world up there... is so bright."
"God of Hades!"
Cheng Shaofeng shouted out the name directly!
The giant phantom is the god of the underworld!
Cheng Shaofeng's Shadow Guard 1 walked straight to the front: "What on earth did you do to the skills you gave me! Why did you travel through the underworld!"
If a being beyond the fifth level were to come out from the Hades world, it would be a huge shadow hanging over Cheng Shaofeng's head. He was not even sure whether the multi-structure energy shield he had just constructed could defend against the Hades!
When the Hades saw that it was Shadow Guard 1 who had traveled through the Hades World before, he smiled, as if a master had seen his most satisfied disciple.
He waved his hand slightly, and the world suddenly became dark!
Cheng Shaofeng found that all the players around him had disappeared. He glanced at his smart watch and directly disconnected the base signal, receiving nothing.
"50 years... 50 years. Do you know how hard it has been for me to wait for this day?"
"Doxin..."
"No, you don't!"
"... ..."
The Hades continued, "I spent a lot of effort to train those idiots for 50 years! Not a single one of them has been promoted to level 4! All the dogs I raised in the yard are now level 4!
!”
The way he gritted his teeth seemed as if he had been accumulating resentment for countless years.
Cheng Shaofeng continued to watch him talking to himself.
"Ten years ago, I learned that those believers... had actually always been under the control of the Human Alliance. They would not allow my people to successfully reach the fourth level and comprehend the ancestral souls, but because they were afraid of me... they kept giving me hope, making me feel that the next person would succeed, and the next one would have better luck."
"Hehe~ Even though you are a demigod, I was actually frozen by this simple trick. I can't bear to give up my divine power, so I can only keep trying until..."
"My appearance?" Cheng Shaofeng said tentatively.
"That's right. Your incomplete soul and magical clone give me a new idea... If you can escape and achieve the fourth level without being monitored by them, then I can return to this world!"
"So actually, the skills you gave me all have your imprint... As long as I practice, when I advance to the fourth level, I will summon you through the ancestral spirit?"
Hades nodded: "Yes... But I didn't expect that your people would improve so quickly. In 2 months, they have reached such a level. I am very satisfied with you."
Cheng Shaofeng looked unhappy: "I really hate people who plot against me..."
"I am no longer a human being. I am... a God!"
"Demigod."
"?"
Hades: "Young people nowadays don't learn about drinking culture?"
"It's just dross."
After a moment of silence, Cheng Shaofeng asked directly: "What... are you going to do?"
"I'm here to help you."
"Are you so kind?"
"Am I not good enough for you? Do you know that I am not recruiting other believers now?"
"Hmm? Why?"
"Because... How many of my Dark Demon summons did your people use? They were just cannon fodder after they were summoned! I worked for you for two months!
!”
Speaking of this, Hades looked resentful.
Cheng Shaofeng: “…”
Thinking about the players' style... it's true.
In their opinion, it doesn’t matter if the summoned creature dies or not, they can just summon it again once the cooldown period is up.
"Isn't this your real body?"
Cheng Shaofeng sensed the shadow in front of him. Although the pressure was still there and he casually summoned a large black curtain to cover the entire place, but... it always looked not very strong.
"Naturally... My real body is in the underworld."
"Oh... I'm relieved that you're still tied up."
"?"
After the God of the Underworld was possessed by Cheng Shaofeng, he choked for a long time before continuing.
"We don't have much time left in this shady dimension, so let's cut to the chase... If your people can summon my shadow, we can work together."
"cooperate?"
"My shadow will help you in battle. You will find some materials for me and send them to the Netherworld..."
"Help in combat? Like...?"
"Defeat the power of the fifth level."
"!
!”
The bombshell dropped by Mingsha shocked Cheng Shaofeng, who had been keeping calm until now.
But the next second he calmed down and thought again, and asked:
"You are just a phantom summoned by the fourth-level talent. It is even questionable whether you can defeat the fourth-level... What makes you say you can defeat the fifth-level?"
"My shadow can summon the power of the underworld. Just think about it... A god provides you with protection. Who in this world can kill you?"
"It's a demigod."
"... ..."
After thinking for a moment, Cheng Shaofeng asked, "The material you want me to find is very rare, right?"
Hades nodded: "But you will definitely find it."
"What?"
"You'll know when the time comes."
"Heh~ Riddler, bah!"
The Hades glanced at the space around him. The black curtain was becoming thinner. He urged, "Make a decision quickly. This place is about to collapse. We have to return to the real world."
The Guardian of Hades...
Defeat the power of the fifth level...
Unknown material...
At this moment, Cheng Shaofeng thought of the video footage of Zhao Hongwu's action that day.
He walked out in a wheelchair, and the world around him was directly controlled. All the player's skills were invalid. Life and death were just a matter of his thoughts...
"A fifth-level territory... What a terrifying existence..."
The corners of Hades' mouth curled up slightly: "Make a deal with me, your future will be bright, you can't let it die young!"
"Don't overestimate their moral conscience. If you are not one of them... they will not allow you to achieve the fifth level."
"After you help me find the materials, I can teach you... the method of becoming a god. After all, humans have a limited lifespan, but gods... live as long as the heavens!"
Cheng Shaofeng raised his eyebrows.
"Become a god?"
The God of the Underworld nodded, his face looking unfathomable. At this moment, he seemed to have already controlled Cheng Shaofeng. Every word he said echoed in Cheng Shaofeng's ears like the whisper of a devil.
Every condition is what Cheng Shaofeng needs, just help him find some materials...
After a while, cracks appeared in the dark space and it was about to collapse.
“Huh~~”
Cheng Shaofeng let out a deep breath.
"I refuse your cooperation."
The God of the Underworld, who had always had a smile on his face, frowned.
"Why?"
Cheng Shaofeng looked at the world outside which was gradually becoming clearer. The players looked the same as before he had just entered the dark space.
He pointed into the void.
"If I remember correctly... you were trapped by the strong men from Duoyu Academy, right?"
"I have read all the historical records. Although Duoyu Academy is elusive, it has never done anything harmful to humanity. How can I believe you instead of the 400 years of historical experience?"
"They tied you up for a reason!"
At this time, the dark space had been shattered and the face of the God of the Underworld became distorted.
"You don't know anything about Fish Academy!"
"They are a bunch of lunatics!"
"They have never cared about the lives of humans in this world!
!”
The words of Hades shattered along with the space, and Cheng Shaofeng returned to the center of the players.
Xigou was happily talking to the three phantoms, while inexplicably surrounding the phantom of the God of the Underworld, looking him up and down warily.
But... the shadow representing the god of the underworld was obviously much more sluggish.
"I'm leaving now."
