Reincarnation Paradise: The Crucible

"Damn it, it's only the second day, and I've died twice. It's a survival test with a survival rate of less than 10%. I can't waste anymore, I have to be careful..."

On the vast plain, a naked male contractor was running away crazily with a satchel in his hand. During the run, not only his limbs were constantly swinging, but he also kept opening his mouth.

This person is the black coffin whose head was smashed by a squirrel not long ago. He has a bloodline called an undead demi-human, which allows him to be resurrected after death. However, death is not without cost. The more times he dies, the more he dies. The more you pay, the heavier the price you pay.

Once the number of deaths is too frequent, then every resurrection will no longer be a gift, but the beginning of an endless nightmare, so he will try to control the number of deaths in each world, but the second day of the survival trial has not yet passed. He has already passed away twice.

Recalling the halberd in his memory that severely injured him with one blow, a trace of fanaticism flashed in his eyes, but his running speed was obviously faster. He was thirsty, but he couldn't beat him.

If there was a chance, he would definitely pull this person into the Cult of Pain, but for now, it was better to make a strategic retreat first.

Suddenly, the running steps of the black coffin stopped. He turned his head and looked to the right rear position. He saw a beam of black light speeding from the sky in the distance, and it went straight into the center of his eyebrows. Along the way, he could faintly hear the screams of mourning. .

When the black light entered his body, he closed his eyes tightly. After a moment, the black coffin's eyes suddenly opened, his eyes full of surprise and uncertainty.

"How come there are only one third of the Swamp Wraith left?!"

……………

The spiritual space, the endless sea of ​​fire.

The purple sea of ​​fire rose wildly, and above the sea of ​​fire, a large number of illusory human faces were running around in panic, but to no avail. Under the burning of the purple fire of endless desire, the resounding wails became more and more piercing.

As the burning continued, the illusory faces began to die one after another, turning into little starlights and scattering, while the sea of ​​​​fire burned even more passionately under the nourishment of these starlights. This is why Xu Yue was able to obtain the 'Soul Strength +1' reward. .

…………

In the outside world, Xu Yue did not notice the abnormality in his spiritual space. He was busy digging trees and building caves to use as a shelter tonight.

After experiencing the torture of the Swamp of Pain, his mental load needed to be recuperated, and Afu also needed time to transform the dung beetle, so after careful consideration, he planned to dig a tree hole inside the giant tree first and rest until tomorrow morning. Let's go.

This giant tree is very large, and it is more than enough to carve out a space for two people to rest. However, as the digging deepened, Xu Yue found that the strength of the tree inside gradually soared, and even the color became weirder.

A big silver hand penetrated the tree, then pulled hard, and immediately grabbed a large irregular piece of wood. The piece was light red, with red sap oozing out from the edge. It looked like blood but exuded a refreshing fragrance.

"It seems that the giant tree chosen by the shrike is not simple."

In the narrow tree hole space, Xu Yue stood in front of the light red inner wall of the tree hole, carefully looking at the wood block in his hand. When he first started digging, the wood was still a normal yellow-brown color, but the deeper he went, the closer the color of the wood became. Blood, this phenomenon could not help but arouse his curiosity.

Flames rose in his hands, burning the wood into charred powder in the blink of an eye. Xu Yue patted the remaining black ash on his palms, raised his eyes and looked around. At this time, he had penetrated nearly two meters deep into the tree. Next, As long as the corridor is expanded, a wide tree hole living room can be completed.

But after discovering the special features of this giant tree, creating a tree hole was the second priority. He was going to go deep into the heart of the tree to explore, and there might be surprises.

The metal wings spread out from behind, and then the wings collapsed into countless purple-glowing metal fragments, forming a surrounding purple galaxy in the tree hole.

"twist!"

After the command was given, the galaxy expanded instantly and began to rotate rapidly against the inner wall of the tree hole. Countless wood chips fell like a torrential rain, and were then burned up by the golden-red flames waiting below.

Standing in the center of this galaxy and sea of ​​fire, Xu Yue watched indifferently as the surrounding tree hole space continued to expand. After more than ten minutes, the space had expanded to a vast extent, and the fragrance in the air became increasingly rich.

"receive!"

At this point, he was very close to the center of the tree. He could not continue to use this too rough excavation method and put all the galaxies and seas of fire back into his body. Xu Yue began to knock everywhere in the tree hole, relying on the feedback brought by the vibration. , he quickly locked in a location.

The big silver hand blasted out with great force, and half of his forearm penetrated the inner wall of the tree hole. After a while of groping, Xu Yue pulled out his arm, holding a red core that was very similar in shape to a heart in his palm.

……………

"An unexpected bonus."

Looking at the wooden heart in his hand, Xu Yue raised his eyebrows slightly. The value of this thing is very high, especially the various increases it brings after drinking it. However, the 'bloodthirsty' contamination mentioned in the prompt is a problem. I will ask Su Xiao if he can Eliminate side effects.

If the side effects cannot be eliminated, then it can only be used for strengthening. For the life system, he has the 'Glory of Life', and for the blood system, he has the 'Red Prison Armor'. In short, they all come in handy.

After putting away the fist-sized bloody condensation and making sure that there was no more harvest inside the tree, he spent another half an hour resting in the tree hole before walking out of the tree.

At this time, the red sun was setting on the plain outside the tree, and the sky was about to sink.

At the bottom of the giant tree, a pile of hills formed by corpses of various colors was clearly visible. Ah Fu was walking through the pile of corpses, picking and choosing, until he found the body parts he was satisfied with. His fingertips were bloodshot, and he quickly picked them out. Transformed into proper puppet parts.

On the side of the hill, a ferocious wooden beetle monster has begun to take shape.

Xu Yue walked out of the hole in the middle of the tree trunk and observed the progress of Ah Fu's transformation for a while. After making sure that it could be completed before dark, he sat down directly at the hole and took out the purple shrike. treasure chest.
