Volume 4: The Winds and Clouds of the Western Blue Sky Chapter 9: Abyss Egg
Ever since he learned about Lord Frye's tyrannical witch hunting activities, the feeling of depression in Qi Ji's heart could not be dispelled even after he finally killed the city lord.
The moment finally began to dissipate.
Oh, there is one more thing I haven’t done.
Qi Ji broke the window behind the city lord's chair, jumped outside, and walked along the eaves to the edge of the building.
This is the highest point in Frye City.
Looking down, the city that should have been in deep sleep was now lit up with flashing torches under the city lord's order to seal off the city and search for people. Countless soldiers were forcing their way into each house to search.
Qi Ji looked at it for a few seconds, then raised his hands to his mouth in a trumpet shape and took a deep breath.
A thunderous sound exploded.
"Lord Fry has been killed. The witch hunt stops immediately!"
"Lord Fry has been killed. The witch hunt stops immediately!"
…
Qi Ji repeated the same words several times in a row. His voice spread far and wide, soon covering most areas of this small city.
Then, he saw the running flames slowly and hesitantly stop.
Then, the lights in each room came on.
"Lord Frye is dead?"
"The city lord who was more terrifying than the devil was killed?"
"Is it true?"
"It seems to be true. The sound came from the direction of the city lord's inner castle!"
"Really dead?"
"He must be dead!"
"Dead! Woohoo, this demon is dead!"
"Woo woo woo, my wife and daughter's revenge has been taken!"
…
The whole city gradually became lively, and the noisy sounds even reached Qi Ji.
Some of the soldiers running on the streets still didn't believe it and were scolding others for not following him.
The next second, these radical soldiers had their weapons taken away and were pinned to the ground by their companions.
The ones who pinned them down were the soldiers who still had a conscience and had been doing nothing to contribute in the witch hunt.
Except for those who are desperately trying to gain honors, not all soldiers are willing to do such a heinous thing.
Amidst the commotion, Qi Ji turned back to the city lord's hall, glanced around, and looked towards the door of a side hall.
According to his perception after he became extraordinary, there was an ominous aura behind the door that made him depressed.
There's something inside.
Qi Ji put away the Undead Slash, summoned the Wolf Shield and Wolf Sword again, walked to the door with a shield in defense, and then kicked the door open.
After waiting for a while, there was no movement inside, so he slowly entered the room with a shield.
The side hall was very empty, with only a long dining table covered in blood.
This is where the city lord "eats".
But there was nothing he was looking for.
Qi Ji relied on his senses to look at a wall deep in the side hall.
He simply walked over, raised the wolf sword, and slashed at the wall!
Once, twice...
After a few hits, Qi Ji broke down the already thin wall, revealing the small secret room behind it.
The secret room is simply decorated with only a small altar that exudes a strange atmosphere. Above the altar is a strange egg-shaped object.
The size and shape are no different from ordinary eggs, but the color is pure black, and there are strange symbols engraved on it that are as red as blood.
It was this object that constantly emitted an ominous aura that attracted Qi Ji to come and look for it.
Buzz!
The moment Qi Ji saw the black egg, with his sixth sense warning him frantically, a huge evil will surged towards him!
A strange voice sounded in his ears.
〈Excellent receptor!〉
〈Far beyond all human potential!〉
<Perfect!>
〈How perfect!〉
〈Come, accept my power!〉
〈Become the spokesperson of "Gluttony"... No, become the spokesperson of "Abyss"!〉
It was as if the evil god was whispering in his ear, and Qi Ji's eyes were filled with confusion at that moment.
The black egg in front of him quickly turned red, and the original red lines quickly turned black.
Endless evil aura emanated from the red egg, as if it had turned into a thick black liquid, gradually spreading towards Qi Ji.
[Discover the extraordinary item "Abyss Egg (Red)", do you want to decompose it in exchange for transcendence? 】
The panel prompt of the Tower of Transcendence appeared before his eyes in the gaps between the endless whispers of the evil god.
Qi Ji's originally confused expression suddenly cleared up. At the same time, the indomitable force brought by the wolf sword technique took effect, greatly enhancing his resistance to the mental side .
He covered his head with his hands, cold sweat broke out all over his body, and he used all his willpower to start subduing the demon again!
In the mind, a divine light suddenly exploded.
With the help of the demon-slayer, his thoughts finally returned to his control.
【break down】
Qi Ji immediately issued an order.
Then, before his eyes, the Abyss Egg quickly disintegrated into illusory mist, and then turned into a vortex and drilled into his chest, and was instantly absorbed.
[The extraordinary item has been decomposed, and the transcendence degree is 1000]
<interesting.>
〈How could a human being go against the will of the abyss?〉
〈Humans, grow up quickly, come to the abyss, come before us!〉
As the Abyss Egg disintegrated, the evil god's whisper gradually dissipated in Qi Ji's ears, and he finally regained consciousness.
Qi Ji lost his demon-subduing state, his body was completely soaked with cold sweat, and his face was full of fear.
If it weren't for the "disturbance" beyond the panel and the effectiveness of the "Unyielding" branch of the Wolf Swordsmanship.
I'm afraid he will be influenced by this thing called the Abyss Egg and the whispers of the Demon Lord, accept the power of the abyss, and eventually embark on the same path as Lord Frye.
Thinking of Lord Frye's extremely disgusting appearance, he couldn't help but shudder.
I almost stopped being a human being.
Fortunately, fortunately! Thanks to the plug-in dad for saving me!
This time, not only was he not assimilated by the enemy, he also gained a huge amount of transcendence.
Thinking of this, Qi Ji opened his panel and looked at his transcendence amount with anticipation.
[Transcendence: 1995]
This is really prosperous!
The huge increase in the degree of transcendence made Qi Ji clearly feel that his body functions had also been greatly improved.
He is now extremely sensitive to his body's functions and does not need the help of any equipment. Just a slight feeling will tell how much stronger he has become.
When the transcendence level was 745, the increase in one's own body functions was about 3.5 times.
Now the degree of transcendence is close to two thousand, and the increase to itself is about four times.
The amplitude is indeed large, but it is lower than expected.
The extra 1,200+ transcendence levels only increased his physical functions by 0.5 times.
This is different from the increase formula he estimated himself.
Qi Ji touched his chin. If it was according to the correct proportion he had imagined before and verified, in the outer domain, his transcendence degree could receive the full 200 points increase, and the increase beyond the 200 points would only have one tenth of the effect. By this calculation, his current transcendence degree increase should be "480%".
But in fact it is only a little over 400%.
According to the formula he originally deduced, only "1200 points" of transcendence are needed to achieve a "400%" increase.
His transcendence level is now 1995 points, and nearly 800 points have been wasted.
Obviously, the increase value exceeding "1200 points" has been weakened again. Now, the increase ratio of every "100 points" in the part exceeding it is only about "1%".
If this is the case, then of course the part of the transcendence that has been greatly attenuated again will be used immediately to improve skills.
Therefore, he now has 800 points of transcendence to use.
Pure local tycoon!
