Chapter 235 Space Rules, Boss Qiao!
Ni Kun's arrival seemed to bring good luck to Zhang Wuji and the other two.
Not only did he get rid of the Yun Zhonghe gang that had been harassing them for a month in one fell swoop, but he also collected the other two pearls in just two days.
Having said that, the luck of Zhang Wuji and his two companions has actually never been too bad.
It’s just that their strength has been reduced too much. When they encounter some large monsters, such as the Titanoboa, even though they know that good things may drop, they can only sigh in despair because of their lack of strength.
The addition of Ni Kun brought the power to easily kill the giant beast.
With Zhang Wuji's treasure-hunting eyes, collecting the pearls naturally becomes easy.
When the third gem was collected and the three gems were gathered together, a crystal light suddenly burst out and turned into an arrow, indicating a certain direction.
Ni Kun, Zhang Wuji and others packed their luggage without hesitation and rushed in the direction indicated by the arrow.
Half a day later, the four came to a valley and saw a manhole cover-shaped silver-white metal door embedded in a cliff at the bottom of the valley .
According to the rules of the martial arts world, there must be a boss at the end of the level.
Guarding the door was a giant black crocodile over twelve meters long.
The giant crocodile was lying on the ground at the bottom of the valley to rest, its huge body blocking the cliff.
Judging from its long and thick limbs, this black giant crocodile is a land-based giant crocodile that can move very fast on land. Combined with its extremely oppressive huge body, it gives people the impression that it is quite difficult to mess with.
However, even if he was just an ordinary person when he came in, to be able to collect the three pearls and find a way out, he must have had rich experience in survival and hunting, and obtained good weapons and equipment.
It is even possible that a certain degree of physical enhancement has been achieved - treasures dropped by monsters may occasionally appear as good things that can be taken directly to increase the basic attributes of the body.
For example, Di Yun once swallowed a gem taken from a giant swamp turtle, which increased his strength by about 100 kilograms.
Of course, the chance of this kind of treasure dropping is extremely low. Zhang Wuji and his companions stayed in the rain forest for more than three months and only encountered it once.
During the two days that Ni Kun was here, he killed a lot of monsters and found several practical gadgets, but he didn't get any treasures that increased physical attributes.
In short, although the giant crocodile looks scary, for the "reincarnation" who can find this place, it is not impossible to try to kill it.
Even if you haven't collected all the orbs, and have found this place by chance, and don't have the ability to kill the giant crocodile, you can still try to lure it away and get through.
Of course, if you do this, you won't get the reward for killing the Boss.
And if you don't get enough experience in this "copy", the difficulty of survival in the cube space will inevitably increase significantly.
As for the levels, they will definitely become more and more difficult.
"Let me try its abilities!"
Di Yun drew his bow and drew his arrow, intending to test the quality of the giant crocodile first.
"I'll do it."
Ni Kun, who had already changed into a black combat uniform, stab-proof boots, and a bulletproof leather breastplate , and had his hair cut short by Zhang Wuji's hidden sword, stepped forward, raised his right hand and raised his index finger towards the giant crocodile.
He was really fed up with this hot, humid rainforest environment with swamps everywhere and countless snakes and insects.
Tempering is meaningless to him - since he traveled through time, he has died more than 4,900 times, is that not enough tempering?
He came here just to explore the secrets and find Capricorn.
That's why I didn't bother to compete with the giant crocodile in wits and courage. I just wanted to finish the fight quickly and leave.
call out!
The hole wave is activated.
A beam of white light shot out and hit the giant crocodile's head, blasting through the tough crocodile skin and solid skull that even a rifle bullet could not easily penetrate.
This majestic giant crocodile just twitched slightly, then its limbs fell down and it lost its life.
Although it was not the first time that they saw Ni Kun kill the giant beast with his hands and feet, Zhang Wuji, Di Yun and Yin Li still looked at Ni Kun with shock and awe in their eyes.
At this time, a piece of black crocodile skin on the giant crocodile's back slowly peeled off and turned into a round black forearm shield.
Yin Li walked over quickly, picked up the arm shield, and handed it to Zhang Wuji for identification.
Zhang Wuji's right eye emitted a ray of light, which shone on the arm shield. After a moment, he handed the shield to Ni Kun:
"Master Ni, this shield is not only invulnerable to swords and spears, but also has a certain recoil force. If the enemy hits this shield with bare hands, it may injure itself. If it is chopped with a sword or an axe, there is a certain probability that it will rebound and injure itself. In addition, after enduring multiple hits and accumulating a certain amount of energy, it can also release a shock wave to repel enemies within a ten-foot range."
"Not bad." Ni Kun nodded, played with it for a few times, and then put the shield on his left forearm.
In fact, this little treasure is of no use to him, so it's okay to give it to Zhang Wuji and the other two.
But during the past two days of searching for the orb, with Ni Kun's powerful output, several practical gadgets were indeed produced. Even though they are not as good as this arm shield, they are still treasures for ordinary people, even ordinary martial arts masters.
Ni Kun didn't want any of them.
He gave those little gadgets to Zhang Wuji and the other two on the pretext that they had provided him with intelligence, helped him lead the way, and taken care of his life.
Ni Kun can no longer give them the small treasure dropped by the boss at the end of the level for free.
Even though Zhang Wuji and Di Yun are both kind people, and Yin Li is not a bad person by nature, one should not accept rewards without merit, right?
After defeating the boss at the end of the level and collecting the spoils, Di Yun strode forward, opened the manhole-shaped metal door, and peered into the passage with a look of delight on his face:
"White room! No monsters!"
Yin Li and Zhang Wuji looked at each other and laughed. Yin Li even laughed to the point of tears - Ni Kun had only been here for two days, but he felt uncomfortable all over and just wanted to leave quickly. They had been here for more than three months, so one can imagine how they felt.
Zhang Wuji and Yin Li were laughing happily. Ni Kun also had a smile on his face. He took a few steps forward and followed Di Yun into the passage.
Arriving at the white room one after another, the four turned around to look at the passage and saw that there was no rainforest scenery on the other side of the passage, only an ordinary white room.
Ni Kun knew that the room opposite might still be a rain forest, or it might have turned into an ordinary white room - a cube, like a Rubik's Cube, could change at any time.
But no matter whether there were any changes on the other side, Ni Kun didn't want to go back and test it.
Ni Kun took out a recliner from the mustard seed ring, lay down on the chair, squinted his eyes, and rested .
In the past two days, Zhang Wuji and the other two had become accustomed to his ability to conjure up all kinds of objects out of thin air, so they were not surprised. They sat down against the wall, squinting their eyes and enjoying the cool and dry air without the bother of mosquitoes after a long time.
The four of them slept comfortably here for several hours. After waking up, Zhang Wuji reported a discovery with surprise: his martial arts skills had suddenly recovered a little without him noticing, and he already had about 10% of his full strength.
Zhang Wuji is a fledgling martial artist. He has not yet mastered the Nine Yang Magic Art and has not yet practiced the Great Shift of the Universe. If he succeeds, it is unclear whether he will be able to become a third-rate martial artist.
But it's a good thing anyway.
Because not only him, Yin Li and Di Yun also recovered some of their skills. The degree of recovery varied, which must be related to their respective cultivation levels.
For example, Zhang Wuji, who had the most profound skills, only recovered 10%, while Di Yun recovered 50% in one go.
But his 50% strength is still slightly inferior to Zhang Wuji's 10% strength.
As for Ni Kun, who was so powerful in his heyday that even Zhang Wuji and Di Yun could not imagine...
Only about one thousandth or one ten-thousandth of the power was recovered?
Anyway, the five elements bloodline, the body of a human immortal, and the power of thunder have only been slightly revived, and the attack power is not as good as wearing a mechanical arm and holding a revolver.
"After going through a large instance, will the suppression of cultivation by the rules be loosened a little? This is a bit harsh on the strong.
"Zhang Wuji needs to pass ten large copies to recover to his full potential. Di Yun only needs two, and Yin Li only needs three. As for me, I can't even calculate..."
In fact, your strength can be improved in the "copy".
But it is equivalent to practicing from scratch, and the efficiency is extremely low. Ni Kun can sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the rain forest, and the environment is not a place without spiritual energy.
However, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth there is extremely "inert". According to Ni Kun's estimation, the efficiency of absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for cultivation is only one percent of that in the Tang Dynasty world.
One hundred days of practice is equivalent to one day of practice in the Tang Dynasty world.
Instead of practicing in such a hellish environment, it would be better to be brave, fight more monsters, and pick up some equipment and treasures to strengthen yourself.
"Speaking of which, the original intention of designing this cubic space might not be to allow strong people to come in and play around...
“Perhaps its original intention was just to allow ordinary people to come here to pass levels and complete dungeons to become stronger.
"I took the initiative to come here using the great authority of 'Reserve Reincarnator No. 001' which far exceeds that of normal Reincarnators. Capricorn was accidentally dropped in when the guiding light was dispersed.
"Zhang Wuji and his two companions, Yun Zhonghe and his two companions, should have traveled through time after the reincarnation cycle was disrupted...
"So, the small reincarnation within this reincarnation was originally just a space for ordinary people, or normal 'reincarnationists' to undergo trials?"
Ni Kun was secretly guessing the composition of this "cube" space, while Zhang Wuji and the other two had already opened the packages, taken out various delicacies, and started eating and drinking to celebrate.
Of course, they did not forget to invite Ni Kun and prepared a portion for him as well.
After a hearty meal and a long rest, I calculated that I had rested for a full twelve hours before the light in the room began to turn red and gradually became warmer.
"After completing a large instance, can I rest for twelve hours? The rest time has been extended a lot, but it's still a bit too demanding. After all, completing a large instance is really tiring..."
Ni Kun pondered in his heart, put away the recliner, looked at Zhang Wuji and the other two who were carrying their bags and preparing to leave, and said, "Who will open the door?"
Zhang Wuji smiled and said, "Master Ni, you can open it. I think you have better luck than me."
Zhang Wuji is a lucky man who has the status of "having an adventure by falling off a cliff", so his luck is naturally very good, much better than the unlucky guys Yin Li and Di Yun.
But he felt that Ni Kun seemed to have better luck than him.
If you let Ni Kun open the door, it might be easier to deal with trap rooms and monster rooms.
Ni Kun did not refuse. He randomly selected a door, grasped the handle, pressed and pulled it, and opened the door.
Di Yun volunteered to be the first to enter the passage. He looked at the opposite room for a while, then stepped back and said:
"There was a black-haired wild boar inside, only slightly larger than a domestic pig."
Zhang Wuji smiled and said, "That will give us some meat. I haven't had pork for a long time."
The rain forest is full of prehistoric giants, and there are naturally no wild boars.
"Wait a moment, I'll go kill it."
Di Yun was the first to jump into the room, and the others waited in the corridor.
Soon, the roars and collisions of wild boars, as well as Di Yun's shouts, were heard.
About a minute later, the wild boar let out a howl like a pig being slaughtered, and the roar gradually weakened.
Di Yun's breathless voice came:
"Come down, it's already been killed... Oh, this wild boar is really hard to deal with, it's too strong, and its fur is really tough..."
Zhang Wuji, Ni Kun and Yin Li entered the room one after another.
The wild boar was lying on the ground covered in blood and wounds, but most of the wounds on its back were just a little broken skin with blood. The fatal wound was a huge wound from the throat to the pig's abdomen.
So, Di Yun slid and knocked down the wild boar?
"Di Yun, the boning knife you used was very sharp, wasn't it? A small tree as thick as a bowl was cut in half with one cut. Is pig skin really that hard?"
Yin Li took out the iron claws and poked the pig skin. It felt really hard and tough, much tougher than ordinary refined leather armor.
"It's really hard!" Zhang Wuji also stabbed it twice with his hidden sword, and said with emotion: "There is no rosin or sand on the wild boar's fur, how can it be so tough?"
Ni Kun seemed to be thinking: After going through the first copy, the reincarnations have been trained and strengthened, and now have decent equipment. Have the monsters they encounter in ordinary rooms also become stronger accordingly?
Of course, even if it becomes stronger, it won’t be too outrageous.
Di Yun could kill the wild boar with a boning knife that was only a foot long. If he had a long-range weapon, it would be easier to kill the wild boar.
After killing the wild boar, the reward appeared in the corner of the room as usual. It was a large piece of hot, greasy grilled pork chop.
The aroma of the grilled pork chops will make you feel refreshed and your appetite will be stimulated as soon as you take a sniff.
Di Yun stepped forward, took out a knife and cut off a small piece of pork, put it in his mouth and chewed it for a few times, then said in surprise:
"Delicious! Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, melts in your mouth... Uh, the physical strength, skills, and even energy I just consumed are recovering quickly!"
Zhang Wuji's expression changed:
"Can it speed up the recovery of physical strength, skills, and energy? This is really a good thing! If you encounter a large number of enemies and the battle is endless without eating or resting, just eat a piece of pork and you can continue fighting!"
Di Yun nodded repeatedly: "That's right, we can't just eat this pork, we have to save it for the critical moment."
As they spoke, they both looked at Ni Kun.
"Why are you looking at me?" Ni Kun laughed dumbly: "I didn't say I wanted to eat it, just put it away."
The two of them then smiled at each other, carefully wrapped the pork chops and put them into the package.
They cut off a few pieces of the softest and tenderest meat from the wild boar and put them away. Without waiting for the room to change color and heat up, the four of them, led by Ni Kun, opened another door and entered the next room.
There are no monsters in this room, only traps. Although Di Yun, the leader, is still simple and innocent, he has at least gained some survival experience. Before entering, he pushed the wild boar corpse in and triggered the mechanism in advance.
After the mechanism was activated and the wild boar was shot into a sieve, the four people entered the room and continued to the next one.
In this way, Ni Kun was responsible for opening the door, Di Yun and Zhang Wuji took turns to lead the charge, and they passed through several rooms in succession and fought several stronger monsters - for example, the zombies they encountered when they first came in were just ordinary slow-moving zombies in the Resident Evil, but what they encountered now were zombies that could run.
Wild animals such as wolves, poisonous snakes, wild boars, and leopards have also become more agile, stronger, or their scales have become tougher.
But in the end, Zhang Wuji and Di Yun, whose strength had recovered a little and who now had good equipment, could not be harmed.
The rewards received were also better than before, mostly food and drinks, which basically had the function of quickly replenishing physical strength, restoring skills, or restoring the spirit.
Two weapons were also produced, a pistol with two fully loaded magazines and a steel sword made with modern technology.
The pistol was given to Yin Li, as she had already learned how to use a gun from Ni Kun.
The steel sword was given to Di Yun. His swordsmanship was actually quite good, but he had never gotten a suitable long sword.
The ninth room.
After opening the door, there was nothing unusual looking from this side of the passage.
But when Ni Kun and his party entered one after another, there was a change of light and darkness in front of everyone's eyes, and the environment around them suddenly changed, as if they were already in a barracks.
In a corner of the barracks, on a brick bed, sat a burly man wearing leather armor, shaving his beard with a knife.
Seeing Ni Kun and the other three, the bearded man showed no surprise at all. He just laughed and asked:
"New here?"
Zhang Wuji, Di Yun and Yin Li all looked at him warily, but Ni Kun seemed calm and surveyed his surroundings.
It looks like an ancient military barracks...
The extremely tall and sturdy man was not annoyed by the vigilance of Zhang Wuji and the other two. He put down his razor and said with a smile:
"My name is Qiao Feng, and I have the same background as you. There's no need to be so nervous. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me."
Qiao Feng?
Ni Kun took a look at the big man. Judging from his figure, he must be the Qiao Feng.
But calling himself Qiao Feng...
Did he come through here before his identity was revealed?
Di Yun saw that although the big man was tall and strong and looked a bit ferocious, his tone was gentle, his smile was friendly, and he had a heroic spirit. His vigilance was greatly reduced, and he said:
"My name is Di Yun. Brother Qiao, you just said that you have the same origin as us. Did you also come here from that white room?"
"That's right." Qiao Feng nodded: "That's exactly how I got here."
"So where exactly is this place?" Di Yun couldn't wait to ask the question that everyone wanted to know most.
