Chapter 153 Unknown Aberration

Temporary Control Bureau, in the lounge.

The extraordinary people browsed the online trading mall and made final preparations before setting off.

This online trading mall was built by the famous shopping platform "What You Have" in the Extraordinary World in collaboration with various major organizations. It currently covers the entire game world, and all kinds of things obtained can be bought and sold on it.

Thanks to the joining of [Wanjietong Express], it only takes thirty seconds after placing an order for the goods to be received through space transmission technology, without having to go through the long torture of waiting for the courier.

Huo Yanluo and others were also here, drinking tea and buying supplies.

As soon as he came over, Zhou Yuan saw a hole suddenly opened in the space, and a beautifully packaged express box fell out of it, landing right in front of Huo Yanluo.

Huo Yanluo tore open the express box, revealing a bottle of golden-red potion wrapped in foam protection, with a purple glow on the surface.

It's actually epic level!
Huo Yanluo unscrewed the cork without any hesitation and drank the potion in one gulp.

[War God Enhancement Potion: Permanently increases combat power by 3 times. ]

Zhou Yuan took a breath of cold air. How much?

A permanent 3x improvement? This effect is too incredible!

"Sister Luo, where did you buy this potion? Do you have any more?" Zhou Yuan asked hurriedly.

"That's it. I was lucky enough to get a bargain." Huo Yanluo smiled and clenched her fist. She could clearly feel her strength getting stronger. And you know, this increase will continue to be effective even if she leaves the game world. It can be said that her strength has undergone another transformation!
At her level, she has more than ten kinds of BUFFs that can enhance her combat effectiveness. The result of stacking them together is absolutely terrifying.

Zhou Yuan quickly browsed the list of the trading mall, wondering if he could find a bargain.

[Magic Forbidden Stone]——Able to absorb magical energy and store it.

[Holy Silver Crossbow]——Has the ability to generate silver arrows out of thin air, and the arrows have the property of breaking magic.

[Dissolving Gun] - Fires a pink beam, and anything it hits will be dissolved into a pool of mud.

[Bottled Lightning]-A bolt of lightning is stored in a glass bottle. The bottle can be thrown like a grenade to create a range attack.

[Flash Staff]——Can use flash magic to dazzle people.

Zhou Yuan searched quickly, but after more than ten minutes he didn't find anything good. Finding a bargain is too dependent on luck.

"The next dungeon we're going to is the [Magic Academy]. Maybe I can buy some equipment made from Forbidden Magic Stones..."

Just as he was thinking this, Zhou Yuan suddenly saw a prop whose effect made him shine. He quickly took a picture of it and used some of the spoils in his backpack to trade.

Ten seconds later, the space in front of him was torn apart, and a huge package fell down.

Zhou Yuan tore open the express box and found a half-body mannequin made of metal inside.

The mannequin is a cold iron-gray color, with blurred facial features, no hair, and no decorations on its body. It looks just like those naked mannequins in shopping malls. However, the maker obviously has aesthetic taste, as he gave it strong pectoral muscles and eight-pack abdominal muscles, and its latissimus dorsi muscles are clearly visible.

The circular base is about 50cm in diameter. A metal bracket the size of a bowl connects the base to the bust mannequin, and a piece of text is engraved on the base.

[Let the magicians eat shit! ]

It can be seen that the creator has a deep grudge against the magician.

Detailed information about the item immediately appeared in front of Zhou Yuan's eyes.

【Name: Anti-magic Dummy】

[Quality: perfect]

[Special Effect: Spell Counter. The dummy will sense spells being cast within a 50-meter range and automatically use Spell Counter to counterattack.]

[Note: "You bunch of damn magicians, just wait for me!" The dwarf forging master Kentro said this harshly after being expelled from the magic academy. He forged this dummy after three years of seclusion, but before he could seek revenge on the magic academy, he died at the hands of a group of brutal minotaurs, because minotaurs do not understand magic.]

Counterspell!

This skill is a complete killing spree in the magic academy. If a magician can't cast spells, what kind of magician is he? He's clearly a sandbag!

·
After the preparation phase, Zhou Yuan and his team set off again.

There are actually not too many monsters to kill in the Night City dungeon. After all, the ultimate BOSS, the super AI Eve, also known as Yi Yi, has now cooperated with the Bureau of Control and they are all one of us, so there is no such thing as a process of killing your way through Night City in the game.

Fortunately, the cultists and cyberpsychopaths that followed contributed a wave of experience, so overall it was still acceptable.

Everyone sat on Bai Lang's body. As soon as they flew out of Night City, Zhou Yuan heard a system prompt sound in his ears.

[Mission "Night City Legend" completed]

[Task evaluation: B (experience points and star coin rewards increased to 110%)]

[Comment: Although you successfully cleared the dungeon, unfortunately, you did not become a Night City legend, but the live broadcast program made you famous, and now everyone calls you "Love-starved Brother" and "Big Car Brother". It seems that you always get some strange nicknames easily, right? "Clothes-blasting Maniac"?
Finally——Do cyber girls dream of electric sheep? 】

[Task Reward 1: Experience Points*2200]

[Task Reward 2: Star Coins*7700]

[Task Reward 3: Rare Quality Skill Scroll*1]

【LV30→LV31! 】

[Experience value: 1450/1550]

[Available attribute points: 1]

[Star Coins: 44700]

Zhou Yuan added attribute points to perception with a frown on his face.

Damn, my reputation has been damaged again.

Ever since entering the extraordinary world, both the big and small ones, their reputations seem to have been on a downward spiral.

What about pyroxene?
Zhou Yuan sighed inwardly, it must be this world's fault.

Let’s open a box first.

open!

There was a flash of light.

[Skill name: Deduct 1 and send Hellfire]

[Quality: Rare]

[Special Effect: Gain the Hellfire special effect. Hellfire: Demonic fire, extremely destructive and cruel to the body and spirit, overflowing with the essence of disaster from the abyss.]

[Consumption: 1 spiritual value per second]

[Note: 11111, did you really give it to me? ]

"Not bad, it's like having an additional fire-related arcane ability, but I don't know if I can control it freely..."

Zhou Yuan decided to try it when there was no one around.

·
After Bai Lang's level was raised, his flying speed changed qualitatively, and it didn't take long before everyone arrived near the Magic Academy.

Looking from far away in the air, the magic academy was shrouded in a thick and deep gray-white fog.

Bailang raised his dragon head and took a deep breath. The terrifying suction force created a howling hurricane in the air, and as he opened his mouth and exhaled, an even more violent and turbulent dragon breath storm swept out.

However, the strong wind that was enough to create huge waves on the sea did not blow away even a wisp of the gray-white mist.

"Let me try." Huo Yanluo rubbed out a ball of brilliant flame and threw it downwards, but failed to ignite the mist.

"Is it impossible..." She was surprised. The fog was quite strange.

According to the game world view, the Magic Academy was the first force to be attacked by the Demon King. All magicians were unknowingly corroded by the demonic energy and turned into terrifying and crazy monsters loyal to the Demon King.

These mists were spewed out by an ancient beast imprisoned in the magic academy. They have strong corrosive properties and cannot be dispelled by ordinary means.

In order to dispel the corrosive mist, one must collect a strange stone called "Sunstone".

This stone is like a small sun, emitting a faint light to dispel the poisonous fog.

Some magicians sensed the disaster before they lost their minds, so they opened the magic academy's barrier and isolated the academy from the outside world.

If you want to enter the magic academy, you have to carry the sunstone with you, grope your way inside from the outside of the fog, find three pieces that can open the door of the magic academy, and piece them together to form the key to the door.

Due to the erosion of demonic energy, many creatures on this land have mutated and evolved the ability to coexist with the corrosive fog. It is very dangerous to rashly enter the poisonous fog to explore.

Therefore, apart from Zhou Yuan's high-level adventure team which is confident in its own strength, no other team is willing to come and take the risk.

"If the poisonous fog cannot be blown away, then let's start exploring according to the process." Huo Yanluo said.

The white waves slowly descended and reached the edge of the mist.

The group immediately put on the sunstones they had purchased in advance, and a warm light enveloped them. Zhou Yuan took a few steps forward, and as soon as the poisonous fog came into contact with the light, it quickly melted away like snow encountering the scorching sun.

After a short while, the scene within ten meters around became clearly visible.

"Everyone should change their formation and keep a distance of six to seven meters between each other, so that more lighting area can be obtained."

A distance of six or seven meters is almost within reach for them, and they can react quickly even if they encounter danger.

Everyone lined up, the fog was dispersed on a large scale, and they walked forward in the direction they remembered, and soon they arrived at a ruin.

These are the towns near the Magic Academy. After the Magic Academy was invaded by the Demon King, these towns lost their guardians and the townspeople were either killed by monsters or corroded into slag by the poisonous fog.

"Uh ah ah..."

A creepy roar was heard, and several broken corpses crawled up from the ground.

[LV57 Skeleton]

"Wow, it's a classic monster, and a classic monster of a super high level!" Jiang Wuming exclaimed.

It is worthy of being a high-level copy, even the level of the skeleton monsters is so high.

Zhou Yuan took out the [Backwater Sword], found a skeleton monster and chopped it twice to test the damage. Unexpectedly, the skeleton monster shattered to the ground after two slashes, and the health bar above its head returned to zero.

Just as he was stunned, the shattered bones on the ground began to gather automatically, and after a moment they turned into skeleton monsters again, with full blood, and swung their sharp bone claws at him.

Zhou Yuan dodged, swung out two swords again, and chopped off the skeleton monster's head. This time the skeleton monster did not resurrect.

"The weakness is the head." He reminded his teammates, then put away his weapons and watched the show.

At his current level, the experience he gets from killing these monsters isn't that much, so it's better to give it to those who need it more to level up.

After easily killing a few skeleton monsters, everyone continued to move forward.

The town that has been reduced to ruins still shows its former prosperity. There are even many shops selling magic scrolls and magic tools on the street, which shows that even ordinary townspeople here can come into contact with high-end magic.

Everyone entered the store and searched it, but unfortunately there was nothing found. Everything was corroded by the poisonous mist and turned into debris on the ground.

Boom!
At this moment, the earth suddenly shook.

In the distance, the fog was rolling, and a constantly changing and distorted shadow of huge size was faintly emerging.

Zhou Yuan and his companions quickly found a place to hide, and poked their heads out to observe carefully.

Boom, boom, boom...

The monster was more than 20 meters tall, and each of its steps was as heavy as a mountain. As it walked out of the fog, everyone could see its appearance clearly.

It was a tentacle hill formed by countless purple-black tentacles intertwined, and beneath the tentacles were countless distorted faces. The eyeballs of those faces had been removed, and they were dripping with blood and tears, with their mouths wide open in pain, as if they were uttering resentful curses, or wailing in despair.

[LV67 Unknown Deformation]

And at this moment, the unknown deformed being's movements came to an abrupt halt.

Countless faces that had lost their eyeballs turned around at the same time, and one by one, their empty black eye sockets looked grimly in the direction where everyone was hiding.

Everyone's breathing stopped.

"███——!!!"

The piercing roar, like the roars of thousands of undead souls, exploded like thunder in everyone's ears, making their eyes go dark and their spirits shocked.

Zhou Yuan's body swayed, blood flowed from his nose, and he immediately cast [Intermediate Mind Barrier] to prevent himself from being affected by the mental shock again.

"Do you want to fight or not?" Jiang Wuming asked hurriedly. The level of this monster is even higher than that of the Four Heavenly Kings!

Moreover, this thing has never appeared in the game monster encyclopedia. It should be a special mutant and is probably extremely ferocious.

"beat!"

Zhou Yuan responded confidently, "I'll go get it, you guys cover me."

Boom boom boom!

The next moment, countless tentacles broke through the air and attacked, instantly smashing the ruins where everyone was hiding into powder.

Huo Yanluo rushed out from the dust wearing a blazing fire armor, her fiery red wavy hair fluttering in the wind. Like a majestic Valkyrie, she summoned the Burning Sky Sword and slashed fiercely at the unknown deformed creature.

Bai Lang snapped his fingers and activated his magic remotely. The icy blue cold air raged and in the blink of an eye, the tentacles flying in the sky were frozen into ice sculptures.

The manic flaming sword slashed across, and the ice sculpture tentacles shattered like bubbles, turning into icy rain falling from the sky.

puff!

The gorgeous and dazzling flames slashed at the body of the unknown deformed creature, leaving a long and narrow charred wound. The flames danced, and the high-temperature flames penetrated into the injured area and began to burn the body.

"███——!!!"

The unknown mutant let out a painful roar mixed with mental shock, but this time everyone was prepared for defense and was not affected by the mental shock.

At the same time, while his teammates were attracting the monster's attention, Zhou Yuan had sneaked up to the feet of the unknown deformed creature.

A fiery red light lit up.

The barrier of equality for all beings is knocked down!

Level sixty plus is still within the range of levels that can be affected by the Equality Barrier for All Beings.

Therefore, the level of the unknown mutant instantly dropped to the same level as Zhou Yuan!
