After the player army broke through the blockade of 10 fourth-order evil spirits, the surrounding hooks also turned into nothingness with them, and the sound of humanity's liberation was heard in the dark.
Xigou and Lintang each killed a fourth-order evil spirit. The weapons in their hands absorbed a golden energy from the air, leaving a mark like a stick figure of an evil spirit on the handles of the weapons.
The thin dog took a look.
Artifact - Cruel Corrosive Bug Knife
Artifact Stage: 2 Stars
Additional bonuses: Strength +6, Agility +8, Intelligence +2
Light of Punishment (actively activated): Increases all damage based on the enemy's sin value (no damage will be caused to creatures with negative sin values)
Active skill cooling down... Time remaining: 1 hour
Passive Effect—Eye of Justice: Can observe the sin value of surrounding creatures.
Passive Effect - Indestructible Artifact: As long as the user continues to supply energy, the weapon will not be damaged.
In addition, the weapon's original attributes have not changed. Lin Tang used the Inquisitor's artifact skills to expand the weapon to the artifact level, gaining the attribute of infinite growth, and can actively activate and stimulate the small universe, instantly killing enemies with high sin values.
In the eyes of the two people holding the artifacts, the evil spirit just now was already a sinister monster with black energy all over its body. After activating the skill, it directly gained 10 times the damage!
Kill the evil spirits on the spot!
The same is true for Lin Tang's weapons, all of which have grown to 2-star status and gained more attribute bonuses.
Lin Tang: "I didn't expect that after my artifact was created, the first thing it killed was a level 4 high sin value evil spirit, which instantly increased its star. It's too powerful!"
The artifacts he creates will gain different bonuses depending on the characteristics of the weapon.
The insect sword of the thin dog adds more strength and agility, but very little intelligence.
Lin Tang's 2-star sniper rifle increases 8 points of agility and 8 points of intelligence, but has no strength at all. The damage becomes more explosive in the later stages.
A gun is passed down through three generations. Even though the person is gone, the gun remains, and the more people use it, the more powerful it becomes.
According to Lao Lei, they had many inherited weapons in their warehouse, including guns, staffs, and swords, but they were all lost after the surprise attack and the door was broken into.
If an evil person picks up the Inquisitor's artifact, not only will he be unable to use it, but it will also emit a scorching light of judgment that will burn him.
It’s a pity that all the passed down artifacts are gone, and only the Scales of Justice with no attack power is left.
Because of this talent, the Inquisitor will not receive any significant bonus when he first enters the fourth level, but the apprentices of the fourth-level Inquisitor will receive artifacts bestowed by their master, thereby increasing a large number of attributes.
This is the so-called reason why when the judge succeeds, all his disciples will also benefit.
"Wait until the magic weapon skills have cooled down, then I'll use them on you all!"
Lin Tang was playing with the artifact that had just been upgraded, and the corners of his mouth were already grinning.
Lao Bai: "Damn it... I got so many high-sin-valued Void Spirits today, and you two sucked them all!"
Multiple inquisitors armed with artifacts hunt down villains, and the sin value is equally divided.
"Hahaha~ It's going well. At this rate, I can upgrade my weapon by two stars today."
One star equals 8 attribute points!
As long as it continues to grow, the attributes of the Inquisitor when holding the artifact will be extremely high!
Seeing the peak team having so much fun, the other players shed tears of envy.
Riben Guizi: "After I learn the Inquisitor's talent, upgrade my pistol and shield into artifacts. One for attack and one for defense, I will be invincible! But... I don't know if the properties of two artifacts can be stacked?"
Lin Tang: "Of course! As long as you use artifacts, you can get bonuses, so powerful Inquisitors are usually dual-gun school, and the dual-gun skill that can be learned at level 1 - Ranged Master is the cornerstone of the Inquisitor."
Riben Guizi: "It's stable! Then I'm invincible!"
He is a gun and shield tactician who is good at both offense and defense and is extremely flexible. If he is given the attribute bonus from the two artifacts, he will become a true pentagonal warrior.
After this battle, many players began to curry favor with their rich Inquisitor friends and asked them to sponsor them for a magical weapon.
Cheng Shaofeng floated forward in the air, but he also saw the discussions of many players.
He shook his head.
"We've all seen the strength of the Inquisitor's skills, but if you're dealing with an enemy with no sin value, before the Inquisitor's artifact matures... it's almost like a blank slate. I don't want too many people to learn the Inquisitor's talent. If there are few people, I can slowly make it, and then everyone will have one."
"Also... the attributes of the Inquisitor's artifact are bound. If there is a legendary weapon with high attributes in the later stage, should I change it? If I change it, then the attributes that I have stacked with great difficulty on the original artifact will be useless. If I don't change it... what if the attributes brought by the legendary weapon are more powerful than stacking 10 stars?"
This is a classic weapons paradox.
Unless you can find a very powerful weapon at the beginning and transform it into a magic weapon.
But on second thought...it is also interesting to cultivate a broken weapon into a magical artifact with extremely high stats.
"It depends on how they choose. Anyway, after the battle here is over, I will equip each Shadow Guard with a legendary weapon and have Lin Tang transform it into a divine weapon for me."
This is a small interlude, and the players continue to move forward.
Almost all the phantoms encountered on the road, from low-level to high-level, were killed instantly!
Only the fourth-tier phantom spirits can hold out for a while longer, but... the players' output is too high. After gathering together, all kinds of buffs are shared, and the fourth-tier phantom spirits are a gift!
Bang bang bang bang!
The shooters stood on the Green Goblin skateboard and fired all the way, leaving no grass anywhere they went.
The construction teams behind could not keep up with the speed of the players' advancement.
"Make way, make way, let us catch some Void Spirits behind..."
Food players are here.
Each of them had a string of human-like dolls hanging in their pockets, flashing with a strange purple light.
Uncle Tian: "Huh? Why are you here on the battlefield if you don't want to cook? There are also many fighters in the rear..."
The level of food-related players is relatively low. After all, this is a life-related skill that consumes a lot of time. Usually, they go to kill wild beasts and there is no large amount of experience in the battlefield, so there are very few players above level 40.
At this time, because the players in the front are advancing too fast and the players behind cannot keep up, they will also face some phantoms floating over from other places. Fortunately, Shadow Guard 2 is arranged here with a part of the rear troops to help them kill these phantoms.
Forgive Hat: "Hehe~ What we need is a fight, otherwise we won't be able to capture them without the Hollow Spirit."
Uncle Tian: "Catch? Why are you catching that thing? It's pretty ugly, and it's really annoying when it screams."
"The mountain man has his own magic tricks!"
"Let's go and catch the Void!"
Forgiveness Hat brought about 100 people to place a large number of purple rag dolls around the construction team's paving of the passage.
Ethereal Toy
You can use puppets to impersonate humans, interfere with the judgment of the spirits, let them possess the puppets, and then seal them directly.
The level of food-type players is not very high, and this skill is likely to backfire if it is used to seal the Void Spirits that are more powerful than themselves, so they just follow behind the main force and look for some trapped fish to bully.
Whoosh whoosh~
After the arrangement was completed, the surrounding spirits rushed to possess the puppet as if they had seen delicious food.
ah!
ah!
ah!
ah!
The puppet opened its mouth and let out a rapid cry, then spread its legs and ran towards its master. A group of green spirits inside it were anxiously bumping against each other, trying to break free from the cage.
But... this phantom toy was developed specifically to deal with phantoms, and if their strength is not greater than that of the puppet master, they will not be able to escape at all.
Forgive Hat and the others captured batch after batch of Void Spirits, ranging from level 1 to level 3.
The chefs moved all the stoves to the front line.
"Brother! How do you cook? Let me just stir-fry it?"
A shirtless burly player waved a cauldron and said loudly.
Shadow Guard 2, who was planting trees and setting up formations in the back, had several black lines on his face when he heard this.
"As expected... You are a player of my Great Foodie Empire. What is in your blood cannot be changed."
Forgive Hat nodded: "Stir-fry! You must lift it up and stir-fry it. Grab the two stewed heads and stir-fry them. Stir-fry the white ginger!"
Players from the construction team: “?”
The little girl said in a long-winded and dark voice: "The best thing you can say is to stir-fry the virtual spirit..."
Forgive Hat: "What the hell? Where did you come from?"
The little girl rolled her eyes at him and said, "I was originally a member of the support team..."
Food players threw the dolls that captured the Void into the pot, stir-fried the Void, put all kinds of underworld seasonings in it, and the hellhounds breathed fire from below. The chefs started stir-frying amid the screams of the Void...
After a while, the virtual spirit stopped screaming and Forgive Hat opened the cauldron and took a look.
Phew~~~
A thick white mist floated out, mixed with a strange fragrance.
When the white mist dissipated, everyone looked closely.
There was nothing left in the pot except a pile of fried dolls and seasonings. The virtual spirit that was imagined to be as melt-in-the-mouth as jelly was gone, as if it had evaporated.
Forgive Hat: "Ah? Failed? The Hollow Spirit... couldn't produce the essence? It just evaporated?"
"Damn it, they didn't even leave any spiritual powder. I wasted a lot of seasoning!"
"What's going on? Is it possible that the ingredients we prepared are not right?"
They studied for two days before they found some materials such as virtual mushrooms, phantom flesh, and undead condensate as ingredients based on the characteristics of the virtual spirits.
Logically speaking, adding the main ingredient of Xu Ling should make the meal a feast.
The result... nothing.
At this time... the fragrance reached the noses of many frontline personnel, and everyone suddenly became alert!
Gain the influence of strange buff, virtual resistance +30%, energy recovery speed +30%
"this???"
The players looked at the sudden reminder from their smart watches with confusion on their faces.
"Whose skills?"
"Isn't this an illusion?"
"Shit, not only did my Aether Resistance max out at 80%, it also overflowed by 5%!"
"More energy recovery buffs are needed. Our mages love this thing the most."
After some exploration, the food player suddenly discovered...
"Shit! The real way to consume Hollow Spirits is... to inhale them!"
God sucks the spirits.
"Ahem! No matter what, we have lived up to the Lord's trust and have produced special food that suits the Eastern Battlefield. We just need to make a few meals of virtual smoke for everyone to inhale every day and we'll be done."
Soon, players discovered... this peculiar buff enhanced summons the most!
This is because most summoned creatures, in addition to having a certain resistance to the energy of their own attributes, have zero resistance to other attributes.
For example, a high-level summon like Hellhound has a fire resistance of 80% and a chaos resistance of 40%, but resistance to other attributes is 0.
Among the players, except for the Death Armor of the Undead, there are almost no skills that can increase the resistance to Aetherization in a wide range, and the summoned creatures are much more fragile than the players!
At this moment, after the summoned creatures inhaled the smoke from the Void Feast, their Void Resistance soared by 30%, which meant their tankiness increased by 30%!
This makes it much easier for the healing players in the team, as they no longer have to worry about the summoned creatures dying quickly.
At this point, the players' strength has reached its peak, and there is no enemy in front of them!
Sword skills, firearms, spells, shield skills, star skills... The players' methods are as dazzling as the stars, destroying all the virtual spirits they see!
In one afternoon, we advanced 30 kilometers crazily!
Killed 8 million virtual spirits!
Finally they arrived at the first shrine ruins of their target.
Ding~
Discover the polluted shrine!
Help the shrine to remove pollution and you will receive constellation rewards...
"Sure enough, this is a polluted shrine..."
According to Zero's hint, it is his task to find the lost shrine to solve the puzzle. This contaminated shrine in the alien territory fits Zero's description very well.
The remains of this shrine were entangled with black chains, with nine black coffins floating above them.
A terrifying aura emanated from the coffin. Liquid-like black energy continuously flowed out of it and sank into the ground. The black wasteland beneath the coffin was as smooth as ceramic.
"This is... the center of the formation in the desolate land that Divine Envoy Nangong mentioned?"
Shadow Guard 1 fell from the sky and stood with the players.
Players who like to read the background story also discovered this knowledge point...
Demon Fox: "My Lord, if I am not mistaken, the barren land beneath our feet was infected and transformed by the energy in these nine coffins. This must be an extremely important strategic location for the Void Spirits."
Cheng Shaofeng nodded: "Indeed... We need to think carefully about how to deal with it, otherwise it will easily attract a large force of virtual spirits."
If any problem arises here, the Void Spirit will definitely send a large number of troops to suppress it.
The desolate land is where the spirits rely on to wreak havoc on the human world.
Thin Dog: "I think we need to consider the retreat route after the destruction..."
"I! Inexplicable!"
A voice from the sky interrupted Cheng Shaofeng and their conversation.
I saw Mo Ming riding the Green Goblin skateboard into the air with his hands crossed. A dark cloud appeared behind him and wisps of electric light brewing.
"I will shatter the darkness with thunder! Destroy it!"
Seeing the lord go down, Mo Ming finally had the chance to show off.
"Haha, it's finally my turn!"
Everyone: “Fuck!”
"Arcane Realm!"
"Arcane Realm!"
"Arcane Realm!"
Multiple arcane players attacked at the same time, forming a transparent mirror in the air, blocking all the inexplicable attacks and rebounding them to himself.
Pah pah pah pah~
Unexplained, died.
Cheng Shaofeng: “…”
"I just know that this soldier Mo Ming is a bit of a jerk and sometimes does unexpected things. I didn't expect that he could mess with everyone's mentality like this..."
Fortunately, the players of the Arcane series acted quickly, and as Mo Ming was a main summoner, the power of this wind attack was relatively weak and was easily blocked.
"By the way, where were we just now?"
