Sanctuary Paradise

Chapter 599: Evil
Boom!

There was a heavy sound of falling to the ground, and the filthy giant who had lost his head and the front half of his arm was seen half-kneeling on the ground. Rotten flesh lumps that made people feel physically uncomfortable began to emerge from the broken neck, and the health value that had dropped to 22.7% also began to slowly recover.

Zheng——! !

The sound of the blade clanging was heard, and a large black sword wrapped in death energy was seen slashing through the remains of the filthy giant. The dark death energy burst out, instantly taking away the remaining vitality of the filthy giant, and its flesh and blood quickly turned into gray-white residue.

[Hint: Team member "Death Bearer" has killed Overlord-class unit·? ? ? (Filthy Aggregate)]

[Reminder: The team has obtained "Overlord Treasure Box" *1]

[Hint: The team has obtained "Entangled Filthy Crystal" *1]

A cold warning sound was heard, and a pitch-black crystal that looked like three crystals combined together fell to the ground, emitting a strong and foul smell.

Xin Lailai glanced at the filthy ghosts in the distance who were temporarily frightened by the aftermath of the battle and dared not approach. After picking up the filthy crystals on the ground, he reached out and pressed on the overlord treasure chest dropped by the filthy giant and lifted it up casually.

[Tip: Team leader "Black Sword" has opened the Overlord-level treasure chest, and the current team has obtained the following items]

...

Evil Bite (Overlord-level equipment) *1
...

【Evil Bite】

Origin: White Star
Quality: Overlord level
Category: Special

Equipment requirements: Real physical strength is not less than 85 points, willpower is not less than 80 points.

Durability: 50/50
Equipment Effect 1, Starving Body (Passive): After wearing this equipment, the feeling of hunger will be "super-hugely" increased, and when you fall into a hungry state, your sanity value will continue to decrease. When wearing it, the digestive ability of your own cells will be "super-hugely" increased. During this period, "eating" type behaviors can trigger "hunger digestion". If the item that triggers hunger digestion is a gain item, the gain effect will increase by 0%~100%, and the increase in gain resistance will be reduced by 90%; if it is a negative effect item, the negative effect will be 0%~100% stronger, but after digestion is completed, there is a 0%~100% probability of permanently increasing the corresponding resistance according to the effect characteristics.

Equipment Effect 2, Curse of Hunger (Passive): The stronger the effect of the item that triggers "Hunger Digestion", the longer it takes to digest. Until digestion is complete, this equipment will be in an unremovable state. If Sanity drops to 0% during this period, the upper limit of Sanity will be permanently reduced.

Rating: 599
Introduction: I'm hungry, so hungry! Food, where is the food? ! !

Price: Not for sale

...

Is this equipment that can produce permanent benefits?

Xin Lailai looked at the [Evil Bite] in front of him, his eyes moved slightly, and he looked at the Death Holder and Yamu, and said:

"Are any of you going to try out the effects of this thing?"

Equipment that can produce permanent gains is rare at any stage, let alone overlord-level equipment with permanent gains. Although from the description, using [Bite of Evil] requires taking certain risks, sometimes it is precisely because of the high risks that the benefits it brings are sufficiently guaranteed.

"Well, Brother Black Sword, you are very lucky. Why don't you try it first? It just so happens that the effect of the World Thunder Potion is still here."

"Well, I'll try it first."

Xin Lailai spoke calmly, and then put on the belt-like [Evil Bite] without hesitation. The next second, a strong feeling of hunger rose from his mind. When Yamu saw this scene, he choked himself, widened his eyes, and said:

"Fuck, you're really going to try?"

"It's a rare opportunity to increase resistance to lightning, why not take it?"

Xin Lailai glanced at Yamu and said as a matter of course that since he had the chance to get something as good as resistance to lightning, he would naturally not miss the opportunity. Wasn't his spatial resistance gained bit by bit in this way?

Moreover, according to the description of [Evil Bite], as long as you can ensure that you don't go hungry during the digestion period, the negative effects of using this thing can be basically ignored.

"Hmm... the feeling of hunger and the digestion speed of cells are about 10 times higher than usual. It's okay. As long as we ensure the injection of nutrient solution, there will be no problem."

Xin Lailai closed his eyes and used the Star Luo Field to carefully sense the condition of his body for a while. He analyzed it very calmly, and at the same time took out two yellow-brown small round pills with the notarized information of "Bigu Pill (Level 3)" from the storage space and swallowed them.

This thing called "Bigu Pill" is a product of the Three Thousand Gods Religion. It is equivalent to a super concentrated nutrient solution and is extremely popular in the market of dry food consumables. The two pills he just ate were given to them by Dao Ji when he was in the Earth World. One pill can guarantee the basic energy required for a third-level contractor with 90 real attributes to carry out activities for seven days. It can be said that apart from the dry taste and the unique name, there is really nothing wrong with this thing.

"Hmm... Because the digestive ability has been enhanced, the duration of the benefit provided by the potion has also been significantly shortened?"

Xin Lailai looked at the rapidly decreasing duration of various enhancement potions on the status bar and made a rough judgment in his mind.

In terms of effect, the biggest use of [Bite of Vile Devil] in actual combat is to enhance the effectiveness of recovery potions and the effects of various continuous buff potions in fast-paced BOSS battles with short duration and extremely sudden occurrence. As for using this thing to fight a war of attrition, it can be used, but it is more potion-consuming. After all, judging from the decay rate, a bottle of potion that lasts for 10 minutes will only last for about 2 minutes at most after being amplified by [Bite of Vile Devil]. It's like giving yourself a buff that reduces the duration of the potion by 80%, but enhances the potion effect by 100%. It's very useful if used well, but it's purely self-defeating if used poorly.

"Roar--!!"

Roaring sounds came from afar. Xin Lailai moved his head to look and saw that a group of flying dragons and evil spirits had surrounded them again at some point, accompanied by giant evil spirits transformed from the imperial guards, rushing towards the direction of the square.

Although there are the aftermath of the battle to deter, the filthy ghosts in the inner city are not as aggressive and intense as those ordinary filthy ghosts outside. Moreover, filthy ghosts are creatures that act on instinct. The death of the filthy giant will not scare away these filthy ghosts, but will give them the courage to rush forward.

"Let's go, let's go to the palace first."

Xin Lailai glanced at the cobalt blue mecha that had already rushed over from behind and spoke.

Before the battle with the Filthy Giant, he had sensed that the interior of the palace had been covered by a layer of isolation barrier that was stronger than that of the tower. Although this strength of barrier still could not stop the overlord-level filthy creatures like the Filthy Giant or the Blood Knight of the Nun, it was more than enough to stop some ordinary filthy ghosts. This was why he dared to try the effect of [Dead Bite] directly here. After all, the 'safe house' was right next to it. If it really didn't work, the worst that could happen was that he would rest inside for a while. With the help of the isolation barrier, even if the attack of the seventeen master filthy ghosts happened again, they were confident that they could stop it without paying any price. After all, compared with that time, they had added one more... to be precise, two overlord-level combat forces.

"Ah."

Yamu and the man holding the corpse nodded slightly without saying anything more. Just as the two were about to walk towards the palace, a muffled sound suddenly exploded from the side.

Bang!
Xin Lailai, who had just taken a step forward, suddenly had arcs of electricity flash across his body as if he had been electrocuted. At the same time, his black hair stood up into the sky like an antenna, and wisps of black smoke rose from his mouth and nose. Even his eyebrows and eyelashes were stretched straight as if they were stiff. His whole appearance suddenly became extremely "unique".

"puff!"

A suppressed laugh came from Yamu's mouth, and the one holding the dead lowered his beautiful eyes, looking at Xin Lailai's current appearance seriously, and a curve appeared on his iceberg-like face.

[Tip: The "Hunger Digestion" effect has been triggered. The current negative effect "Thunder Backlash" has been enhanced by 59%. The estimated digestion completion time: 1 hour and 37 minutes]

[Hint: You have been affected by the "Thunder Backlash" effect, and immediately received 1590 points of Thunder damage, and subsequently received 47 points of Thunder damage per second. The healing effect was weakened by 59.5%. During this period, you will continue to endure "super-huge" pain, and all "Abyss" abilities will be "invalidated" for 795 seconds.]

Xin Lailai looked at the prompt that suddenly popped up in front of her, touched the top of her head, and tried to press down the straight hair. As a result, as soon as she pressed down a part of it, the hair next to it suddenly seemed to be stimulated by something and became a little straighter than before.

"..."

Very good. It seems that next time when I want to deal with things like lightning resistance, which reacts more strongly to prostitution, I have to try to find a place where there is no one.

Then, Xin Lailai silently put down his hand and walked towards the palace with an expressionless face amid Yamu's suppressed laughter.

……

A few minutes later, in the White Kingdom Palace.

"Oh my god, it smells so strong...!"

In a majestic palace painted with pure white walls, Yamu covered his nose at the stench that hit him in the face.

On the marble floor, long-rotten human-shaped ghosts were lying there. Sticky dark red bloodstains were winding along the aisle, and together with the corpses, they emitted a disgusting stench.

"They were all killed in one blow, and the form of the wounds..."

Xin Lailai looked at the corpses on the ground, squinting his eyes slightly. The smooth and even cuts on the corpses were reflected in his dark pupils. He unfolded the Star Luo Domain, scanned the entire palace, and said:

"Something in the bedroom blocked my detection. Judging from the traces on the road, it should be that the fourth guardian returned to the palace and guarded it there."

The White Kingdom's palace was made entirely of extraordinary materials, and almost every wall and floor tile was engraved with spells to block perception. If it weren't for the qualitative change in his perception field after merging with the Soul Master, it would have been difficult for him to quickly grasp the situation inside.

"Does that mean we might have to fight again if we go up?"

"Maybe, but it seems that what is blocking my perception is a sealing spell, so as long as we don't take the initiative to go over, even if we move freely in here, it shouldn't attract her attention."

Xin Lailai said, looking down at the ground beneath his feet, and said:

"Instead of that, I personally suggest going underground first. I found the body of the president of the Magician's Association mentioned in the previous diary there, and I also found some special things. What about you?"

"can."

"No problem. As long as there isn't another boss fight, it'll be fine. I haven't had a break since I entered this place. I just want to find a place to lie down for a while~!"

Yamu shrugged and complained, looking like he couldn't wait to find a place to slack off.

Xin Lailai nodded, said nothing more, and led everyone towards the underground entrance of the palace.

In fact, from the perspective of architectural structure, the White Palace in front of them was definitely the kind that could make people get lost for three days and three nights after entering it. It could even be used as a torturous map to explore in a game. But they had someone with master-level perception ability like him here, so those complex architectural structures were no different from nothing in front of them.

This is also the reason why many masters of techniques like to find someone who has developed perception abilities as a teammate. After all, most of the techniques take a short and sharp perception route. Once they encounter such complex terrain, they are almost wilted and cannot even get into the right place. At this time, having a perception system that is large and long enough becomes extremely important.

Boom, boom, boom...!
Heavy footsteps sounded from the deserted palace. The Little White Saint, who was forced to hide in the gap of the Black Knight's armor because the cobalt blue armor was not suitable for moving in narrow terrain, blinked her smart little eyes and curiously observed the surrounding environment through the gap between the Black Knight's breastplate and helmet.

Unlike the situation on the ground, due to the complicated road conditions and various traps on the road, there are almost no evil spirits to be seen on the way to the underground of the palace. Even if a few corpses appear occasionally, they are all white bones wearing magic robes. Even the surrounding air has become a lot fresher, as if all the filthy forces have been blocked outside this underground maze and cannot invade.

"arrive."

After walking for about half an hour, Xin Lailai stopped in the middle of a corridor that looked nothing special, turned around and looked at a wall on the left, and put his hand on it.

hum!
The next second, a circle of extremely complex spells lit up on the wall, and waves of magical power spread out. Xin Lailai narrowed his eyes slightly, his mental power surged, and he mobilized the magical power in his body to quickly construct spells that Yamu and the Death Keeper could not understand at all, disintegrating the magic on the wall.

Buzz, rumble—!
Finally, with a not-too-light explosion, a small shock of mana spread out, causing the still-standing hair on Xin Lailai's head to sway slightly. Then, the wall in front of him sank rapidly with a series of buzzing sounds, revealing the scene behind it:

A slightly dim light of pale blue fell from the exquisite magic crystal lamp, illuminating the not-so-spacious basement in front of him. Two rows of bookshelves were located on both sides of the basement, with books cast with dust-removing magic neatly placed on them. Combined with the extremely clean instruments on the table and the spotless floor, it was enough to see the extremely particular and serious character of the owner here.

In front of the experimental table, an ancient wooden chair was quietly sitting there. On the chair, a skeleton wearing a magic robe was sitting upright, as if welcoming his own death in an extremely peaceful way. The medal on his robe quietly explained the other person's identity in his previous life to the people who came here:
The seventh president of the Magicians Association - Saidan Zaku.
