Strange Era: An exclusive talent every month.

Chapter 365 Unlimited superposition of exclusive talents! (Additional update)

"It is true that there are many secrets and good things in the underground world, but this does not mean that there is no danger here."

"The greater the harvest, the more risks you will face... This is in line with the equivalence law of Destiny City, and it is also the common sense of most players."

"But the current public opinion seems to have pointed to the underground world as an unprecedented gold-fishing place, just waiting for everyone to come over with sacks to pick up good things."

"Few players would believe such a stupid idea, but the current mainstream trend is almost moving in this direction."

"If something goes wrong, there must be a demon!"

Chen Ye narrowed his eyes slightly and realized that something must be happening here, quietly happening in secret.

With the Eye of Destiny, he saw the depths of the cave, where a deep bloody light was constantly filling the air, as if it was leading to some never-ending abyss.

This expanding trend is growing at a rate visible to the naked eye...

Could it also be related to the increase in the number of players coming?

Chen Ye is increasingly aware that something is going to happen here. The future tasks are not just the 2000 million yuan in trade goods from the thugs. He must do something to interfere with the real plan of the Dark Night Organization.

Otherwise...if the plan succeeds, von Lucius may be able to completely get rid of his restraints.

Judging from the recent fate and cause and effect, this bishop who should have died 300 years ago is likely to become his biggest threat.

Therefore, blocking the other party's plan is actually one of the means to protect oneself.

Thoughts were swirling, and before he knew it, Chen Ye's figure had arrived at the coordinates (110.44).

Come here...

Most of them are intricate cave intersections, covering a wide area. There are not only horizontally extending caves, but also vertically crisscrossed highland entrances.

It completely subverts the route that ordinary people walk. It doesn't look like a road prepared for humans at all. Instead, it looks like a road prepared for insect monsters that move in the earth's crust.

Even if you have the Eye of Destiny, it is difficult to see clearly what will happen at the next fork in the road.

[Chen Ye: "I have arrived near the intersection. You can go to the exit from coordinates (110.44) to (110.45). Wait for me and meet there."]

After sending this message, I quickly received a "good" reply from the other party.

After all, this cave maze is so troublesome that even if you use text to communicate, it is difficult to find the other party's location.

We are all going to (110.45) anyway, so why not simply go to the junction of the two coordinates for a meeting.

Following the instructions on the [Wanderer Map], Chen Ye soon found the location of the junction.

"This way..."

A familiar voice came from the entrance of the cave.

Chen Ye turned his head and looked around, only to see Chen Xi and others slowly walking over with the bright sun surrounding them.

"The boss is here!" Wang Jing revealed a look of surprise, "Oh my god! He also said how safe the underground world is. The more I go here, the more evil this place is. Fortunately, the boss is here, and finally I feel It’s safe.”

"Is there any gain?"

Chen Ye asked as he walked straight towards the crowd.

"Have!"

Chen Xi nodded and said, "We found this here..."

She walked to a rock and gently kicked the stone away from her feet, revealing the ground hidden at the bottom of the stone.

By the light of the sacred fire…

It can be seen that the ground buried by the stones is carved with a blue-black symbol.

"This is……"

Chen Ye knelt down and moved forward to check, his brows wrinkled uncontrollably:
"Symbol of sacrifice?"

"That's right." Chen Xi nodded again, "I found some kind of sinister aura inside. If nothing else, it must be a mark used to sacrifice some kind of evil god."

"Moreover... this kind of symbol does not belong to the devil, but is intertwined with confusion, errors and other information. Using the rune interpretation method of the Burning Sun Church, it is impossible to obtain the information of the symbol."

"But it's obvious that the symbolic structure of this symbol is completely different from that of demons. Ha! Our Church of the Burning Sun has been fighting demons for such a long time, and we are very familiar with the enemy. If it is a mark related to demons, it is definitely OK. Interpreted, but unfortunately this is not it.”

"As for what it is... we don't know yet."

Shen Meng said with a hint of worry: "Not only here, we also found similar symbols in other places, here, there, and a little further... On our way here, we found several such symbols along the way. The symbols, including inside the maze, outside the maze, and here... In short, I feel that there are similar symbols everywhere!"

The nine-tailed fox frowned and murmured:

"Could it be that some evil organization entered the underground world and used this place as a base to arrange some kind of large-scale ancient sacrifice ceremony?"

"In this case... if we wait for the ritual to be triggered, will all of us who are in the ritual be sacrificed and lose our lives?"

"No! But in this way, a large-scale sacrifice of this scale is too vast. To absorb so many breaths of the living at the same time, even an evil god who has reached the seventh-turn sequence may not be able to do it. If it really reaches If you have reached this level, is it still necessary to hide it so deeply?"

Before the nine-tailed fox could continue his analysis, Chen Xi took over the topic and said:
"If you want to reach a level of seven or above, you need to have at least a certain number of believers, or carriers, as containers for the authority of the gods..."

"But if there is such a sinister existence, once it reaches the level of the seventh-turn true god, it will definitely attract the attention of the Lord of the Fierce Sun."

"And if the underground world is only used as a carrier, then it is obvious that such a container cannot meet the requirements of a container that can carry gods. In other words, such an existence is only a pseudo-god that is infinitely close to the seventh revolution at most, and cannot reach the true god. level, then naturally this form of sacrifice cannot be touched."

However, even with Chen Xi's words, everyone present could not help but look worried.

Everyone looked at Chen Ye...

Currently, the player with the most backbone standing on the field is none other than the top player on last month's list.

Chen Ye pondered for a moment, and then looked towards the blue-black symbol.

At this moment, the talent of [Study in Scarlet Letters] was suddenly triggered!

[A certain symbol used for sacrifice of the dead...]

[Symbol...unknown...mysterious...]

[Cage?Escape! 】

…………

"Wait...could this be...not a sacrifice of the living? But a sacrifice of the dead?" At this moment, Chen Ye suddenly understood something, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

Everyone has been led into a misunderstanding...

I thought that the sacrifice must be like a large-scale evil god sacrifice, extracting the breath of all living people in the formation.

Such a formation consumes too much energy, and even an ordinary true god may not be able to carry it.

After all, most of Weird Era is characteristic effects. To be honest, the authority involved in extracting influence characteristics so directly is too high. Even if it can be done, it will definitely be accompanied by certain flaws and it will not be able to achieve what is expected. Effect.

But if the sacrifice is for the dead instead of the living...

Then.

Everything makes sense!

The so-called sacrifice of the dead means very simply. As long as there is death within the magic circle, the remaining vitality in the body will be sacrificed.

After all, Weird Era is a very special game. The so-called death is not the decay of the body, but the complete death of self-awareness.

But because many professions have had their life structures changed, the energy in their bodies is still very different.

Therefore, even after death of many professions, the bodies they leave behind still contain a lot of energy and have great sacrificial value.

If the living person sacrifices and absorbs the target object while it is still alive and has self-awareness, it will definitely encounter fierce resistance. It must use more than ten times, or even hundreds or thousands of times of force to remove this object. Grab some energy.

But if it is a sacrifice from the deceased, then the other party is already dead, and there is only empty, unconscious energy in the body. With a little force, you can snatch these breaths away, and the consumption will naturally be much lower.

Although the remaining vitality will continue to pass with the time of death, it is definitely not as good as the effect of the living...

But it saves more effort!

In the case where the efficiency can be thousands of times less, absorbing a few tens of percent less is completely profitable in comparison.

If you change your thinking like this, what will happen in the underground world is probably already happening!
Chen Ye took a deep breath, then calmed down and said slowly:
"Although this symbol is a symbol used for sacrifice, it is not a sacrifice of the living, but a sacrifice of the dead."

"So, you don't have to worry about standing here and being within the range of the sacrifice, which will trigger the inevitable death."

"Because the original target of this sacrificial formation is not the living, but the dead. In other words, as long as you can live, nothing will happen to this symbol... On the contrary, if you are already dead, it is over and you will be killed again. Sacrifice will not change the outcome.”

As soon as these words came out, everyone showed a look of sudden realization.

Co-author It turns out that this is the formation for sacrificing the dead!
It seems...it was still a false alarm!
The seriousness of the situation is not as terrible as imagined. After all, to trigger such a large-scale living sacrifice, it does require the characteristics of a seventh-level god or above, and it is not something that can be accomplished casually.

Even gods need to follow the principle of equal exchange.

To possess such terrifying power, the price to pay is not small.

But if the deceased is offering sacrifices, although they are both "sacrifice" formations, due to the different corresponding targets, the energy consumed, the price paid, and the final influence are all completely different. level.

In this way, it can be explained why such symbols are everywhere in the underground world.

Chen Xi glanced at Chen Ye in slight surprise.

She was a little curious, how did the other party deduce the characteristics inside through the symbols?
You must know... As a saint of the Church of the Burning Sun, I have been exposed to a lot of mystical knowledge about the "Strange Era", so that I can make judgments on the symbols.

However, specific uses can only be deduced for demons, and for more conventional symbols.

As for cracking... that is the "rune cracking method" that is only used by [Fu Lu Master].

As for the [Fire Sun] sequence, if you encounter a symbol that symbolizes evil, you don't need to bother with "cracking" it at all. You only need to release a fireball and add the restrained [Purification] attribute, and you can easily solve it.

Therefore, there is no need to delve too deeply into this field.

however……

Chen Ye's current profession doesn't seem to be related to "rune literature"?
If I remember correctly, the other party should already have several high-level professions, right?

To crack such a difficult rune, you need to reach at least the fourth level.

Could it be that the other party also has a hidden career of level four?

This time...

But Chen Xi was a little confused, feeling that Chen Ye's strength was more unfathomable than he imagined.

Chen Ye caught a glimpse of Chen Xi's expression out of the corner of his eye and smiled secretly, knowing that the other person was thinking about life again.

Of course, he did not take the initiative to tell how he knew the content of the symbol.

If it's a regular feature, it doesn't hurt to chat a little bit.

But the fact that he can see the essence of the sacrificial symbol does not rely on a certain characteristic, but on his exclusive talent.

The characteristics of any profession can be understood by deducing the professional identity and using the game information in "Strange Era".

Only exclusive talents are different for each player, which is a completely new way of playing.

Therefore, the attributes of exclusive talents are only known to the players themselves. As long as they do not commit suicide and actively expose themselves, others will not be able to figure out what their exclusive talents are even if they try hard.

This is the biggest intelligence information gap!
As for the influence authority of [Exclusive Talent], it currently seems that it will not be affected by professional level.

It can be seen as a special rule that operates independently...

No matter what level of existence we see, [Research on Scarlet Letters] can extract valuable texts that can be studied, so as to interpret intelligence and key information.

This is what distinguishes exclusive talents from general characteristics...

If it is an information-based characteristic, the characteristic may be restrained, invalidated, or even backfired due to insufficient professional level.

However, exclusive talents are independent of this system and can be used freely.

This is why Chen Ye attaches great importance to exclusive talents...

Winning the first place on the list and continuously stacking exclusive talents, but when the number reaches enough, I am afraid that the exclusive talents can be stacked into a good professional characteristic. In this way, it will be more convenient for you to snowball in the future.

But the nine-tailed fox did not take it lightly. Instead, he said worriedly:
"But...if this underground world is full of runes for sacrifices to the dead...doesn't that mean that there may be many dead here in the future for sacrifices?"

"You're right!"

Chen Ye smiled slightly and said: "If you ask me, this is probably the reason why the discussion in the underground world suddenly became active on the public screen."
