Volume 2: The Growing Flame Chapter 83: The Erosion Process of the World
The next day,
Blue sky and white clouds, temperature 9 to 18 degrees, east wind level 3.
“For this world, for humanity, I am willing to embody the light of hope and the fire of faith, to resist the darkness of eternal sleep, day and night, until I die.”
Six first-level awakeners including Shanxiong and Baishuang officially joined Xinhuo.
They had already understood all the matters the whole day yesterday and had done adjustment training. Now they also understood that it was time for the second awakening.
All six of them were a little nervous.
After all, awakening involves facing life and death, and requires risking one's life, even if... the mentor will give them baptism to greatly reduce the risk of awakening.
Still nervous.
The strong man trembles and the young girl shivers.
until,
One by one, they were driven to the training ground and began to awaken.
Fang You didn't pay much attention to these secondary apostles. Xiao Huan reported to him after he finished his work. "Four out of six people succeeded. The two who failed were codenamed 'Explosive Man' and 'White Frost'. However, their mysterious value can still support one awakening."
The odds are not bad.
After all, their foundation is not high.
The apostles had all written down their experiences of awakening, and Fang You had Xiao Huan collect big data information from special investigators and evil hunters, and had already drawn some conclusions.
One is the physical and mental dimensions. The higher the level, the easier it is to pass the awakening catastrophe.
The second is basic skills, such as swordsmanship, knife skills, gun skills, etc. When breaking through from the first awakening to the second awakening, if you have "mastery level" basic skills and practice them several times before awakening, the success rate will be slightly improved.
Practicing basic skills can calm your mind, while learning and training can sharpen your will.
The third is purification.
Using purification skills and abilities to remove some powerful evil residues from your body can increase the chance by 3% to 8%, and the mystery value will not drop much.
However, this requires very precise purification, which not only requires a highly proficient purification ability and evil tracking skills, but also the use of a faceless statue... The statue has the ability to attract evil and absorb mysteries.
Four is naturally the state of awakening.
To be full and in a stable state of mind, this time when awakening, I even tried Yinling's new tranquilizer, and it turned out to be useful. The awakening success rate increased by 0.9% to 1.2%!
That’s already a lot. The value of the tranquilizer has greatly increased!
He said, "You should also start researching the advanced model of the tranquilizer."
Yin Ling: “…”
I am required to make potions, research and develop new drugs, and interrogate cultists... Mentor, you must have not drunk enough potions!
Hehehehe——
"Strange, why does it seem a bit cold?"
Fang You looked back at the closed door of the pharmacy room and said, "This place must be too cold and scary."
…
Strange world,
Thousands of meters away from the Black Stone Tower, An Jianyou slowly appeared, with several evil spirits beside her, one of which was particularly special .
Special in body shape!
Generally speaking, the stronger the evil spirit is, the larger its body is, but this evil spirit is only about the size of a one-star evil spirit, and it looks like a human.
His height is about the same as that of ordinary people.
A puppet, a tattered puppet, also inherited the usual characteristics of evil. It looked creepy and scary, with a strange, chilling smile on its rotten wooden face.
——Ghostly: A puppet with a strange laugh!
It is not big in size, and it does not emit a very terrifying intellectual influence, but it is a four-star catastrophic evil!
An Jianyou’s first and only disaster-level evil spirit!
After she broke through to the third awakening, it took her a long time to find and catch this evil spirit with the help of her mentor.
It's not easy.
She has the talent of the eye that can see through the dark, so it is not difficult for her to find a disaster-level evil spirit. She can just look around with the vision of the eye that can see through the dark.
However, the four-star evil spirits were all very huge in size, and the Black Flame Centipede stood upright like a building - in fact, the flesh and blood giants were very huge, so An Jianyou disliked giants - it had nothing to do with the trauma he had suffered from being scared when he was weak in the past.
Big means great destructive power, but not practical.
In reality, once a disaster-level evil appears, even the weaker awakeners in the surrounding area will not be able to withstand it, let alone ordinary people.
Basically unusable.
What if it is in the strange world? The four-star strange evil is huge, and it will be beyond the range of the bright light torch to dispel the fog.
Not that practical either.
But if she doesn't capture a stronger Guixie, her strength won't increase much after awakening.
After much thought, An Jianyou thought of "invisible evil spirits", which are often small and hidden, and have very little effect on the sanity of people around them.
Its destructive power is not as strong as normal evil spirits, but it is more dangerous to the awakened and strong ones.
It is a "rare monster" among the evil group.
She wanted to catch just such a one.
But this is indeed an SR-level evil spirit. An Jianyou went out shopping every day and used the Eye of the Netherworld to look around, but it still took him several days to find a rare disaster-level evil spirit.
And cripple it, brand it, and manipulate it.
After one fell swoop, she found it very difficult to deal with it, and even had to fire away some of the black ones.
At this time, her team is:
One four-star, three three-star, and two two-star.
But the four-star “Strange Laughing Puppet” feels very safe!
“Hehehehe——”
The tattered puppet let out a strange laugh, and its figure appeared in front of the evil creatures as if it had teleported, leaving behind a trail of afterimages, and its blades danced and reaped!
In the blink of an eye, he was back in front of An Jianyou.
The next second, all the evil spirits within the range of a few meters to dozens of meters exploded.
Fang You watched the whole thing.
In the beginning, it took a lot of effort to catch this "strange-laughing puppet", and I almost made a mistake - this thing is harder to catch than the regular evil spirits, and in a sense, it is also stronger.
"With this funny-laughing puppet, An Jianyou can now face off against the calamity-level evil."
"No, An Jianyou has a rarely used amplification ability. He might be able to defeat or even kill the calamity-level evil spirit."
Under normal circumstances, it seems that An Jianyou has become the first person to inherit the torch.
Even in a one-on-one fight, Brother Black Knife may not be able to defeat her...even though this girl has no sense of being a strong person.
Seeing him coming, the girl patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
We walked all the way to the Blackrock Tower. Just like last time, there was no trace of evil around the tower.
There is only the silver-haired woman Yi Yue Luxi.
"You finally..."
"Hey, humans from the unswallowed world, have you thought it through?"
She folded her arms across her chest, her silver hair fluttering.
Fang You asked back, "Is your project list ready?"
Well,
The silver-haired woman seemed to be a little stuck. She paused and said, "Why don't we move inside the tower and discuss in detail?"
It is quite strange that such a black stone tower appears in the shallow layer of the strange world. The first rule for them to explore the strange world is not to enter strange places easily.
And this group of "newbies" are still very cautious based on what they saw last time, and will not take risks easily.
Yi Yue Luxi didn't think they would enter the tower, she just wanted to change the subject and regain the initiative.
but,
The young man shrouded in a faint golden light spoke, "Wait for me here for a while, mentor, I will be back soon after I discuss business."
As he said this, he walked straight towards me.
He glanced at her and said, "Aren't you going in?"
Yi Yue Luxi: “…”
Who is the owner of this tower?
…
The furnishings inside the Blackrock Tower are very simple, or even crude, and it is not a place where people can live.
The fact that this silver-haired woman in front of him, who looked slim and had a flawless face, had been staying here could only mean two things.
She is not human!
This is not her real body.
Fang You looked at it, his eyes slightly narrowed, and an imperceptible light flashed.
〔Yiyue Luxi〕
〔grade:???〕
〔illustrate:???〕
There is no information, no level or two-dimensionality at all.
Time was running out, so he asked directly,
"Let's get started, where's the project list?"
Yi Yue Luxi lifted up her long legs and leaned back slightly. "Just ask whatever you want to ask. There is nothing that this guide doesn't know."
"I assume that any store that doesn't indicate the price first is a black shop."
“…Of course there are charging standards!”
After a bit of a price war, he started asking.
First, I asked about the detailed changes at each level.
Yi Yue Luxi said,
"As for embracing the path of mystical awakening, the biggest changes occur in the first, fourth, and seventh awakening stages."
"The first level is when one awakens abilities from nothing to something. The second and third levels are all processes of increasing the upper limit of abilities, and the changes are not very big. But the fourth level is different. The fourth level has a leap in abilities, and at the same time, one can briefly enter the 'full burst state', allowing one's own abilities to fully burst out. However, the awakening characteristics in the full state are often very exaggerated, and one no longer looks like a human. Therefore, the fourth level is also called a 'non-human awakener'."
"Fifth level, commander level."
"The sixth throne level means the king of the mortal realm, the limit of living beings!"
"The promotion from the sixth level to the seventh level is the process of transformation from a mortal being to a divine being. Therefore, the existence of the seventh level is also called the mythical level!"
"What level of existence is that evil god?"
Fang You asked.
Yi Yue Luxi gave her an expression that said, "Are you kidding me?"
"What level is the evil god? That's what I mean... How can we know?"
"Okay, let's change the question. What are the specific steps for the strange world to devour the world?"
"This question..."
She pondered for a long while before speaking, "The first stage is the appearance of the secret land and the gate to the strange world, marking the official border between the world and the strange world."
"Of course, before this stage, there will be some minor evils appearing sporadically, but they are not worth mentioning."
"Then, when the gap between the worlds gets a little bigger, the evil gods' priests will come. They are the evil gods' vanguards. Often, priests from different evil gods will come and fight for the same world."
"And the means by which these sacrifices are performed is usually to establish a cult and tear open the cracks to allow their true bodies, or even the projections of the evil god's servants, to descend."
"Servant?"
"Priests are relatively important believers, but they are still just believers. Those who can truly be called servants of the evil god are at least mythical beings who possess a little divinity and can project across the world."
"After that, we reached the third stage, which we call the Gray Mist Tide."
"During this stage, a light gray mist will appear throughout the world, and mysteries will emerge. This is also the stage when the awakened ones will erupt. However, more evil will infiltrate the world, and the disaster will only become more and more fierce."
"The fourth stage is the devouring stage."
"The world will be devoured piece by piece, becoming fragmented, until it is finally eaten in one bite. Moreover, the processes in these four stages are irreversible. The world can only go to destruction and be devoured."
"Is there no other way? What if we can always curb the erosion of the strange world?"
He asked.
Yi Yue Luxi shook her head. "That's impossible. As long as evil exists, there will be erosion. And there are countless evil spirits all over the world that are constantly growing. How can we possibly clear them all out?"
"There was once a super oasis force that wanted to control a real world. To do this, they used special means to enter the unswallowed world and made arrangements in many aspects, but they could only delay the erosion of the strange world."
"In the end, it even attracted the evil god's servants to descend, causing the Super Oasis to suffer heavy losses."
"No force dares to try this anymore."
"It's impossible. Give up."
