Chapter 3 Flesh Plague: Origin

[Welcome to the plane world of Flesh Plague: Origin, and conduct the trial of the awakened one. ]

[You temporarily gain the language of this plane: Old Swedish. Your appearance and clothing have been temporarily adjusted to suit your needs, so that they will not arouse the suspicion of the aborigines. Adjustments to your appearance and clothing do not affect your hidden attribute: Charisma. ]

[䱱Acquired 1 cubic meter of storage space temporarily. The shape of the storage space can be adjusted arbitrarily, but the volume will not change. ]

The emotionless reminder of Spirit World's will came, followed by a series of introductions of plane scene information.

[The Flesh Plague: Origins]

[Time: 17th century]

[Region: Europe-Baltic Rim]

[Strength: 1.5]

[Background: A blood-red meteorite from space fell in Scandinavia. The curse of flesh and blood spreads across the peninsula. Many people died and became plague victims who relied on instinct, wandering the dark land, craving for delicious flesh and blood... ]

The biting cold wind blew across my face like a knife.

The scene in front of Bai Pu quickly freezes.

He looked at his hands and shook them tentatively.

An unprecedented sense of power surged out.

When your feet are on solid ground, the clear tactile feedback from the ground is also unprecedented.

"Personal attributes." Bai Pu muttered silently.

A translucent information prompt box appears in Bai Pu's field of vision.

[Bai Pu (quasi-awakened one)]

[Occupation: None]

[Attributes: Strength 5, Agility 5, Endurance 5, Spirit 9]

[Features: None]

[Skill 1: Origin Blood Fusion (pseudo): You temporarily fuse the evolved Origin Blood, and your body undergoes unknown changes. If you fail the trial mission and return to reality, the evolved Origin Blood will peel off automatically; if you die, the evolved Origin Blood will also peel off automatically. ]

Bai Pu couldn't hide his excitement. He ran freely on the vast land, feeling the whistling wind in his ears, and couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Finally...successful!"

Only those who have lost their eyes know the value of light.

Bai Pu has suffered from heart disease since childhood, and the heavy load brought by excessive brainpower has led to muscle atrophy and organ failure. He has been sitting in a wheelchair and living a life of the living dead since he can remember. How can he experience having a life? What a happy experience it is to have a healthy body?

What's more, his current body is not just "healthy", it has reached the critical value of a quasi-awakened person, that is, the limit of ordinary humans - total attributes of 20! It's as if a beggar became an emperor overnight, and the difference in experience is even greater.

With a strong body, his super-strong brain is no longer an unbearable burden. The dizziness caused by observation and thinking disappeared without a trace!

Even Bai Pu, who has always been calm and intelligent, could not restrain his excitement.

In the retina, another prompt message of Spirit World's will flashed across.

[Trial mission: Collect two tubes of evolved Origin Blood and fuse them successfully. ]

[Task period: 10 days. ]

[Task Difficulty: S]

[Current progress: 1/2]

[Task reward: Awakener promotion. ]

[Penalty for failure: expulsion. You will be expelled back to the real world, and the difficulty of the next trial task will be increased by an additional 30%, but the reward will not be increased. ]

[Warning: Countdown until Stinger Team enters this plane: 48 hours. ]

"It's not time to celebrate yet."

After reading the prompt text of Spirit World's will, Bai Pu squinted his eyes and thought.

The prompt text that appears above is Bai Pu's trial mission. After completing the mission, Bai Pu can be promoted to a true awakened person and step into the sequence of human beings.

The mission progress is already 1/2 because Bai Pu itself has integrated a tube of evolution Origin Blood.

Bai Pu already has a clue as to how to find the other evolution, Origin Blood.

The answer is hidden in that warning message——

Stinger Squad!

This is obviously the name of a team of Awakeners.

"Being able to give Spirit World's will an early warning means that the Sting Team will most likely be hostile to me, and their strength far exceeds mine."

How could Bai Pu, a small quasi-awakened person, provoke a team of awakened people? You don't need to think about it to know that it must be the thugs sent by the Super Group, chasing him across dimensions!

This team should be carrying a tube of evolved Origin Blood.

The reason for carrying the evolved Origin Blood is simple - they must carry the evolved Origin Blood as an "anchor" to accurately cut into the "Plague of Flesh: Origin" plane and hunt down Bai Pu!

Anchors are usually high-value Psionic objects, or things with special meaning and highly related to a certain plane in the Spirit World. They play a positioning role when the awakener is transported to the Spirit World.

Evolution Origin Blood itself has high value and is a Psionic rare item; it is highly related to this plane scene called "Blood Plague: Origin"! It can be said to be the perfect anchor.

Without the evolution of Origin Blood, the Stinger Team will only randomly cut into a certain plane scene among the vast Spirit World planes, and it is impossible to enter the plane where Bai Pu is located.

Therefore, the other tube of Origin Blood required for the trial mission should be taken from the Sting Team.

The difficulty of this trial task is astonishingly high! According to Bai Pu, the general trial tasks for awakened people are B-level to A-level. There will be no confrontation with other awakened people during the process, and they only need to deal with the indigenous people.

Bai Pu's trial mission is as difficult as S Level! Going up against a well-trained team of Awakeners!

Considering that he has not received any training and has no combat expertise and skills, and the gap in strength is too big, it is reasonable to have an S difficulty rating.

Not to mention, even if Bai Pu wins the second tube of Origin Blood, he still has to find a way to integrate it - there is no second Dean Zhao here.

The reason for this difficulty is that Bai Pu "carried" a tube of extremely rare Spirit World artifacts... evolved Origin Blood to participate in the trial!

Spirit World will generation trial tasks are often designed based on the potential of the trialist, in order to maximize the talent of the trialist.

If a trialist deliberately enters with a Spirit World artifact, there is a high probability that a difficult task related to the Spirit World artifact will be triggered!

This is also the pursuit of many geniuses. They are not satisfied with the normal difficulty and want to challenge the high difficulty!

There are benefits to having trial tasks that are difficult. For example, as long as you can complete the S Level trial mission, you can at least be promoted to an elite profession, and the starting point is much higher than other awakened ones! If it's done well, it's not impossible to be promoted to a more powerful profession.

Bai Pu also noticed that the Sting Team arrived at this plane 48 hours later than himself.

Bai Pu speculated that after he escaped from the Spirit World, the Super Group would not delay and would definitely send out a pursuit team as soon as possible! The reason why the Sting Team delayed entering this plane for 48 hours was due to the balance made by the will of Spirit World.

If the two enter this plane at the same time according to the actual time, it is possible that the difficulty of the task will rise to SSS!

Now these precious two days are reserved for Bai Pu to plan in advance.

Bai Pu found a wooden stick, a thin stone chip, and some dead vines, and made a simple stone axe. After weighing it, it seems to be heavier than ordinary wooden sticks and stone flakes.

He stepped on the cold and hard Nordic land and walked forward silently, while thinking about how to deal with it.

"It is definitely impossible for me to fight against a team of awakened ones. Only by fully exploring the plot and using the strength of the indigenous people can I fight against the opponent!"

To take a step back, if you want to integrate another evolution, Origin Blood, you will inevitably have to deal with the indigenous people.

Because Flesh Plague: The plane of origin is very closely related to the evolved Origin Blood. Maybe the evolved Origin Blood is a rare object produced in this plane. It is very possible that the indigenous people have the knowledge and skills to integrate the Origin Blood. .

On the horizon ahead, a staggering human-shaped black figure entered Bai Pu's field of vision.

"They don't look like normal people...could this be the 'dead plague' mentioned in the introduction to the plane?"

Getting closer, Bai Pu could clearly see the appearance of those who died from the plague.

Pale complexion, withered cheeks, wearing tattered linen clothes, legs moving mechanically.

The two eyes in particular were all blood red, and the outline of the eyeballs could not be seen at all.

"It doesn't seem to be fast, so it shouldn't be difficult to deal with. But now I have simple weapons, and I don't know any combat skills. I'm almost a blank slate! I can't be reckless."

Bai Pu quietly retreated to a mound, squatted down, and started digging with a thin stone axe. It didn't take long before he made a crude pit and inserted sharpened branches into it.

Being prepared, Bai Pu caught up with the plague-dead people who had already walked away.

The sound of footsteps attracted the attention of the Death Plague. It roared and turned around, stretching its arms forward in a pounce posture.

Bai Pu clenched the simple homemade stone ax in his hand, mustered up the courage to rush towards the plague-dead man, and swung the ax at him.

This ax has no structure at all, and the angle is a bit off.

However, the plague-dead man had no intention of evading, and came straight towards him, receiving a heavy blow from Bai Pu on his shoulder! At the same time, he dug his claws into Bai Pu's chest.

Alas, blood spurted out, Bai Pu's linen clothes did not play any defensive role, and there were three blood marks on his chest in an instant.

The pain of tearing flesh and blood came. To make matters worse, Bai Pu's homemade stone ax was directly damaged by this attack - the withered vines broke and the thin stone fragments that were bound flew away! Only a bare stick remained.

[Your attack dealt 6 points of bludgeoning damage to the Plague. ]

[The Death Plague's claws caused 10 points of sharp damage to you, causing a bleeding effect, losing 1 health point every 5 seconds until the wound healed. ]

Can't beat it!

Each point of endurance attribute will derive 10 points of basic health. Bai Pu's 5 points of stamina means that his basic health is only 50 points. In one round of battle with the plague, he lost more than 1/5!

Bai Pu pressed the wound on his chest, turned around and ran away.

However, after suffering the damage from the claw attack, Bai Pu's skin squirmed slightly, secreting traces of semi-solid and semi-liquid slimy oil, which quickly condensed to form a layer of transparent cutin! The reminder of Spirit World’s will came immediately:

[Due to unknown reasons, your body has undergone stress changes and its defense against sharp injuries has increased. The duration is 120 minutes, or until the next stressful change occurs. ]

Bai Pu was startled for a moment, looked at his remaining health of more than 30 points, gritted his teeth, turned around, and faced the plague-dead man again!

Obviously, this "unknown cause" must be the fusion of Origin Blood, causing the mutation in the body! Bai Pu must seize the opportunity to fight against the lone plague victims and test the effectiveness of his mutation ability.

Uh-huh! The Death Plague waved his claws, hit the second claw strike, and hit again!

However, this time, Bai Pu clearly felt that the moment the sharp claws of the plague victims touched the skin, the cuticle of the skin acted as a deflection, reducing a lot of strength!

This attack only broke the skin and left traces, and the damage to Bai Pu was reduced from 10 points to 5 points.

"The temporary change in the skin actually reduces the damage by half?!"

Bai Pu was surprised and happy.

However, he still had no intention of fighting head-on with the plague-dead people. After verifying his mutant ability, he immediately turned around and continued to escape.

The Death Plague roared and chased after it. Even though it was limping and stumbling, its frequency was astonishingly fast, even faster than a healthy ordinary person could run!

Fortunately, Bai Pu's agility was 5 points, which was two or three times that of ordinary humans, so he was not overtaken by the Plague Death. He ran away over the mound.

boom!

There was a muffled sound, and the plague-dead man fell into the pit.

Several sharpened branches buried in the pit all snapped with a few "clicks" and had no penetrating effect. The damage caused to the victims of the plague was minimal, at most it could only scratch the itch.

However, Bai Pu's tactical intention has been achieved. With the stiff hands and feet of the plague victims, it would be difficult to climb out of the trap for a while.

Bai Pu half-knelt in front of the trap, rounded the wooden stick, and smashed it down without thinking.

Duang! DuangDuang!

After smashing a dozen sticks and breaking them, the plague-dead man was still alive, roaring and crawling up, his sharp black nails digging into chunks of frozen soil.

The originally steep inner wall of the trap was cut out by the Death Plague to create a small slope. If you give it a little more time, I'm afraid it can really get out of trouble.

Bai Pu didn't dare to delay. He threw away the broken wooden stick and stepped on the shoulder of the dead man. With a burst of 5 points of strength, he stepped on the inner wall of the pit and then clenched his fist.

One punch, two punches, three punches...

The whole head of the plague-dead man was smashed, and the rancid blood mixed with dark yellow brain slowly flowed out, and finally he became motionless.
