Reincarnation Paradise: The Crucible

In the canopy of the giant tree where corpses were embedded, the golden and red pillars of fire slowly dissipated, revealing the almost dead shrike.

At this time, the right half of its body was blown to pieces, and one of its wings had disappeared. The cross section was incomplete and charred, with broken bones and squirming internal organs faintly visible.

With just one arrow, the Shrike could basically be sentenced to death. With such a tragic injury, even if Xu Yue didn't follow up with a follow-up shot, it would not be able to survive.

This is the most powerful arrow at this stage that Xu Yue spent nearly 300 mana points to shoot. Very few beings in the first level can safely catch it. Even in the second level, the lethality of this arrow cannot be underestimated. .

As long as it is locked, with the doubled flight speed bonus of 'Xianxia', coupled with the arrow speed +8 brought by the combined blade, and the locking +8, even the Shrike's agility attribute of up to 44 points will not have time to react.

A shrill bird song came from the shrike's mouth. The pain did not make him weak, but instead aroused his ferocity. The bird's eyes covered with black horizontal stripes stared at the same broken corpse of the giant snake, with a fierce look in its eyes. now.

"call out!"

Before the shrike could make a move, the subtle sound of arrows piercing the air sounded again, and another golden arrow flew from a distance. This arrow nailed the shrike's remaining left wing deeply into the tree trunk. Then the arrow exploded, and feathers flew everywhere, and most of its wings were blown to pieces.

Then came the second arrow, which the Shrike blocked with his beak. As a result, the beak shattered into several black fragments and scattered.

For the third arrow, all the flesh and blood on the head was shaved off, revealing a white skull with spreading cracks.

With the fourth arrow, the shrike's head exploded, and his headless corpse fell on the ferocious giant tree that he had filled with the corpses of his prey. Blood flowed gurglingly, and a purple treasure box fell.

[You killed the butcher bird Shrike]

[‘Shrike’ is an elite unit of the Mysterious Island and has obtained 4.3% of the source of the world. Now it has obtained a total of 4.3% of the source of the world]

"Pa bang bang..."

Just as the paradise prompt sounded in Xu Yue's ears, a crisp sound of applause also came from the top of the tree crown.

Xu Yue, who was in the belly of the giant snake, heard the sound of applause, his face showed a hint of shock, and he suddenly raised his head to look at the source of the sound.

I saw a slightly pale male contractor standing on the branches of the tree crown. For a few minutes, this contractor should have been a dead body, but at this time, he was moving freely without any abnormality. Only his abdomen remained. There were more than ten blood holes, and black viscous liquid surged in the blood holes, rapidly filling the damage.

The contractor looked down at Xu Yue in the distance. After seeing that the other party's attention had been attracted, he put down his hands that were still flapping, and raised his bloodless lips, revealing a sick smile.

"Good archery skills. Among the testers this time, your long-range attack power can at least rank among the top five."

"But it's not easy for a remote contractor to survive alone on this mysterious island for ten days. The follower behind you doesn't seem to be a tank. How about working together? My name is Black Coffin, Lord. Tanga control system.”

Below, Xu Yue looked up and down at the opponent's somewhat thin figure, and finally stopped at the rapidly healing blood hole in the abdomen. Although the opponent's figure did not really fit the term "main tank", his powerful recovery speed seemed very impressive. Persuasiveness.

Unfortunately, Xu Yue had no interest in cooperation from the beginning to the end. His left hand holding the long bow tightened slightly, and a golden arrow quickly appeared. Although the bow was not ready to shoot, the threat was self-evident.

"I'm not interested. Leave now, or I'll see you off."

"Don't be so angry. In terms of order, I came to this place first."

"Leave? I haven't held you accountable for destroying my practice site yet."

As he said that, the black coffin no longer looked at Xu Yue, but moved his gaze to the mutilated shrike corpse below. Then he leaned over and took a breath, and suddenly countless black auras poured out from the corpses hanging everywhere in the tree crown. They rushed into his nasal cavity, and more than 60% of these strange black smells came from Shrike.

"It's pure and mellow pain. It's a pity that the host was killed by an uninvited guest. Otherwise, I would have stayed for two more days."

As the black breath was inhaled, Hei Coffin's body trembled slightly, and his face flushed. When the breath was completely sucked out, his pale face became rosy, and even his thin body became strong and powerful. Only now It looks like a main tank.

Xu Yue quietly watched the series of changes in the black coffin, but did not take this opportunity to launch an attack. He had a hunch that a rash attack at this time would never be a good thing.

The real world is not a movie or TV show, and there are no rules that cannot be interrupted during transformation. Since the other party dares to make such a transformation-like behavior in front of a hostile contractor, he is either an idiot or has something to rely on.

Idiots, on the other hand, often do not survive the survival trial.

At the top of the tree crown, after the black aura was absorbed, the greatly changed black coffin stood upright. When he looked at Xu Yue below again, a trace of undetectable regret flashed in his eyes.

It's a pity. If the other party had been waiting for a move just now, it would be much easier for him next. However, the other party's cautious and rational character is indeed a good choice to develop into a teammate.

The regret in his eyes quickly faded and turned into sincere appreciation. He then said:

"You are very sensible. I admire you."

"And you are good at inflicting pain. Let's not talk about your teammates. Are you interested in joining our Cult of Pain?"

"Inflict pain, enjoy pain, and finally become pain. We do not believe in gods and only follow absolute pure pain."

"Body, emotion, soul, we sublimate in extreme pain and leap on the edge of destruction."

"As long as you join us, I can help you improve your physique to the first level limit as quickly as possible. I can swear to the paradise contract and I will never lie. How about that?"

"Pain is joy. All living beings suffer endless suffering, but also joy is endless..."

Mentioning the Cult of Pain, Black Coffin's tone was obviously much more passionate, his eyes were fanatical, his hands were raised high, and he looked like a religious fanatic.

Xu Yue looked at the black coffin indifferently as he preached the teachings of the so-called Pain God Cult, with no emotion on his face. As for the rapid improvement of physical fitness mentioned by the other party, he believed it, but the price to be paid behind it was absolutely unimaginable.

Theistic religion? Haha, a cult is pretty much the same.

"Last warning, leave!"

The cold voice spread through the canopy, interrupting Hei Coffin's passionate preaching. The enthusiasm on his face instantly faded and turned gloomy. He hated it when someone interrupted him while he was preaching. It was very uncomfortable. polite.

"I was rejected again. I am obviously so friendly and kind, and I am even willing to waste my time to restore your mana. Why am I always so ignorant?"

As he spoke, black energy filled his body, his gloomy eyes focused on the long bow in Xu Yue's hand, and he smiled coldly.

"The first arrow probably used up most of your mana, so each subsequent arrow is more economical than the last. It took four arrows to kill a dying beast."

"And that longbow relies on mana to condense arrows, right? The storage space is blocked. How much mana do you have now? How many arrows can you shoot?"

"An archer without arrows, haha!"

"Let's put it another way, join or die!"

"call out!"

Before he finished speaking, a long golden arrow shot through the air, which also represented Xu Yue's decisive reply.

To be honest, he had been waiting for this sentence for a long time. If he hadn't been afraid that being too aggressive would arouse the other party's suspicion, he would have taken action long ago.

Happy New Year’s Eve to all readers! !
