Reincarnation Paradise: The Crucible

"Your Excellency Xinhuo, as the leader of the Black Mysterious Army, I would like to thank you for your help on behalf of the Ant Tribe."

The same indifferent voice as imagined sounded in my mind. Beings with this kind of temperament often have a strong military style in dealing with others.

Be decisive and straightforward.

Fortunately, Xu Yue is very good at dealing with this kind of people. He shifted his gaze and he and Xuan Jun looked at each other. Although the giant ant opposite didn't seem to have eyes, he had a strong intertwining gaze. Sense of sight.

It was obvious that Commander Xuan Jun was very accomplished in the skill of spiritual communication, at least far better than Xing Hai.

"It's just mutual benefit. On this island, I still have to rely on the nobles in many aspects."

When communicating with such people, there is no point in being modest. Just be direct. As he spoke, Xu Yue, led by Xing Hai, kept getting closer to the legion commander.

The closer he got, the more clearly he could feel the strong sense of power emanating from Xuan Jun. Even without using the Eye of Manifestation to detect, he could accurately judge that the opponent's power attribute must be far stronger than his own.

While Xu Yue was observing Xuan Jun, the other party was also quietly sizing up this human ally using the skills of spiritual communication. Compared with visual inspection, this kind of spiritual inspection was more nuanced.

The outsiders, humans, have not been infected by Poseidon's divine power. They are small in size but strong in body. Judging from their aura, they are also people who have experienced battlefield killings. They seem to have strong spiritual defense skills.

When making the connection, it vaguely felt an invisible high wall deep in the other party's soul, as well as a boiling touch of coquettish purple spirit behind the high wall.

Well, there is a slight beating on the forehead from time to time, which is a common backlash of mental overdraft. It seems that the fire lotus just mentioned has a heavy load on this ally, but it is not without any load...

In just a short moment, a lot of information about Xu Yue has appeared in Xuan Jun's mind. Through spiritual communication, he can 'see' many more in-depth things, even far better than all the information Xing Hai summarized along the way.

"It seems that the previous battle has put a lot of burden on you. Try this. It should be able to alleviate the mental overdraft."

While talking, Xuan Jun took out a small bottle made of colored glass and handed it to Xu Yue beside him. The small bottle was filled with a gleaming golden liquid, exuding a faint light. The effect was aside for the time being. Just talking about appearance was far from it. Far more than the golden honey he got from Xing Hai not long ago.

"Is this... royal jelly?"

Recalling the information revealed in Xing Hai's previous words, Xu Yue quickly guessed the identity of the liquid. He had long been curious about the effects of royal jelly without being too polite. Instead, he said thank you and came directly over.

【Royal Jelly】

Origin: Mysterious Island

Quality: purple

Type: recovery products/food

Effect: After drinking, it will quickly restore 80% of mana and life, and permanently increase the upper limit of mana by 20 points. It also has a mental soothing effect, which can greatly relieve physical and mental fatigue and trauma. Drinking a large amount can enhance physical potential.

Tip 1: The effect of this honey is natural transformation and will not cause damage to the brain. It can be consumed continuously without side effects. (Items that have not been notarized cannot be taken away from this world.)

Tip 2: The permanent improvement effect will decrease sharply as the amount of drinking increases, and the upper limit of improvement will be determined by the strength of the hunter's soul.

Rating: 148 (Note: Purple items are rated from 71 to 150.)

Introduction: Undoubted treasures in the world, specially provided by the queen bee, a rare thing that can only be rewarded by a small number of drones. This is a symbol of the status of the bee family. Friendly reminder: drinking it directly is undoubtedly a waste of resources, psychotropic potions and permanent amplification foods are the best. The best place to end up, the guys in the food court will pay a sky-high price for it.

…………

Compared with golden honey, the effect of royal jelly is much greater. Just the permanent increase in mana is enough to show its preciousness, and this thing can be increased repeatedly.

Very good, there is one more reason to deal with the bees. The lack of mana has always been an important reason for limiting his output intensity. The appearance of royal jelly is just right.

He ignored the friendly reminder on the introduction. Whether it was psychotropic potions or food supplements, he was not good at these skills. The only option suitable for him was to drink them directly.

The liquid capacity in the small bottle is less than 20ML. As Xu Yue drinks it all in one gulp, the sweet and mellow taste slides through the throat and intestines. At the same time, a warm current spreads from the stomach to the whole body, and finally merges into the brain, deep inside the skull. The stinging pain in my body subsided quickly and I felt at peace.

Although the 'Glory of Life' has a soothing effect after being strengthened, the efficiency is extremely low, while the mental soothing effect of royal jelly is immediate.

By the time Xu Yue opened his eyes again, the discomfort in his brain had completely subsided. Normal royal jelly tastes sour and pungent, but the one produced by the bee tribe on the Mysterious Island is particularly different. It tastes great and leaves a fragrant fragrance on the lips and teeth after drinking it.

After taking a long breath, Xu Yue raised his eyes to look at Xuan Jun and sincerely thanked him again.

"The effect is remarkable, thank you!"

"It's okay. In the final analysis, your injury was caused by your aid to the ant tribe. As Xing Hai said, the ant tribe will never treat its allies badly. This time the help will be greatly appreciated. Sir Xinhuo might as well think about it first. Our clan will never be stingy when it comes to what we need.”

After hearing Xuan Jun's promise, Xu Yue glanced at the empty bottle in his hand and the metal shield held by the black ant guard beside him. After thinking about it, he took out another soul crystal (small) from his pocket.

"Royal jelly, high-quality metal, or the crystals in my hand can all be used as rewards. As long as the reward is appropriate, I can continue to help the ants strangle the swarm."

Beside him, Xuan Jun looked at the small colorless crystal that reflected brilliant luster in the sunlight. He seemed to recognize what it was and nodded decisively:

"There is no problem with crystals and high-quality metals, but there are not many left in the royal jelly clan. Fortunately, there are still many in the hive. This requires Mr. Xinhuo to go get it with our clan."

Pick? It’s almost enough to grab it.

But he obviously doesn't care about the difference between the two. In fact, compared to the small inventory of the ants, Xu Yue is more inclined to go directly to the hive to grab the big ones. The corners of his closed lips are slightly hooked, and the clothes around him are The evil spirit permeates the air.

"my pleasure."

After the formal negotiations were completed, both parties stopped talking about remuneration. The specific amount of remuneration would be determined by the queen after returning to the ant nest. Even Xuan Jun could not agree rashly.

"Commander Xuanjun, when will we return to the ant nest?"

"It will take about an hour and a half after the worker ants clear out the lake."

Following the direction where Xuanjun's insect head was looking, Xu Yue also turned his head and saw a large number of worker ants surrounding the edge of the lake, trying hard to suck the water. As they sucked, their abdomens began to expand rapidly, and the lake surface was also moving with the naked eye. Visible speed decreases downwards.

This is a method commonly used by the ants to transport water. Although it looks a bit disgusting, it is extremely efficient. Even for the ants, these lakes containing a small amount of mysterious factors are precious and cannot be discarded casually.

After a while, due to the drop in the water level, a small mountain slowly emerged in the center of the lake. This was the only remaining thing of the mountain snapping turtle. After Xu Yue killed it, he burned its flesh and blood with a fire. , while the turtle shell and the mountains above are perfectly preserved.

Looking at the mountains gradually emerging from the water, Xuan Jun seemed to have thought of something. He looked at Xu Yue aside and said:

"Your Excellency Xinhuo, you also solved this snapping turtle lord, right?"

Although it was a question, Xuan Jun's tone was very affirmative. Xu Yue did not think about hiding it and nodded directly in agreement.

The fire lotus that lit up the sky when killing the snapping turtle was exactly the same as the method used to destroy the hive not long ago, so there was no need to hide it.

After getting Xu Yue's affirmation, Xuan Jun pondered for a few breaths and suddenly asked Xu Yue a question.

"Your Excellency Xinhuo, I believe you can also see the importance of these lakes rich in divine power to our clan. Although the Snapping Turtle Lord is powerful, as long as we are willing to sacrifice, we, the Ant clan, are not incapable of defeating him."

"But do you know why the bees and ants only launched a war to rob this place after the snapping turtle died?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Yue, who was looking up and down at the turtle shells in the mountains, was stunned for a moment, and a somewhat ominous feeling suddenly emerged in his heart.

"Commander Xuan Jun just says it doesn't matter."

"Because of Poseidon!"

When it comes to Poseidon, Xuan Jun's tone is obviously serious.

"Xing Hai has told the history of Atlan in detail before, and I won't repeat it again. All the miracles on this planet come from Him, and so do all the destructions. He may be indifferent and cruel to terrestrial creatures, but To all water creatures, he is truly God the Father.”

"Now He is just sleeping in the central temple, waiting for the moment when the ocean will submerge everything, but He has never disappeared. The will of Poseidon has been floating in all the waters on this planet, silently protecting His people, especially Those strong and unique individuals.”

"Lord Snapping Turtle is undoubtedly such a special individual. It is an existence that is always watched by Poseidon, so we will not attack it rashly or seize its territory."

Hearing this, Xu Yue's face suddenly turned ugly. He had already understood what Xuan Jun wanted to express.

"Commander Xuanjun, you mean that the moment I killed the snapping turtle, Poseidon's attention also shifted to me."

"...Yes, from a spiritual perspective, Mr. Xinhuo, your body is covered with a rich layer of blood."

"This represents the attention of Poseidon. For marine creatures, this is a gift and honor, but for terrestrial creatures like us, it is an out-and-out disaster and curse."

"And the Poseidon's attention on you seems to be a little too strong. If you just kill that snapping turtle, you shouldn't have accumulated this level of attention. Maybe it's because of the outsiders?"

"In short, Your Excellency Xinhuo, if it is not necessary, you should try not to get close to any water, otherwise all the creatures in the water that sense the attention of the Sea God will attack you crazily..."

Xuan Jun's advice continued, but Xu Yue's attention was obviously no longer listening to the advice. He turned his gaze and looked at a title that lit up slightly on his personal interface.

What Xuan Jun said about Poseidon's overly intense attention was not because of any outsider, but because of the title he received in Dragon Valley - the Savior of the World.

【Savior of the World】

Origin: Dragon Valley

Quality: Special

Category: title

Title Effect 1: When fighting large creatures and world-class BOSS alone, you can get a 10% damage bonus.

Title Effect 2: After wearing this title, you will be more likely to gain the favor of the plot characters, and at the same time you will also be hostile to the world-class BOSS.

Title Effect 3: After killing the world-class BOSS, legendary value can be accumulated. When the legendary value reaches 100%, the title level can be improved. The current legendary value is 0%.

Introduction: Go save the world, boy!

Price: Not for sale.

…………

Obviously, when Xu Yue was noticed by Poseidon, the savior hero stabbed him in the back, successfully turning Poseidon's attention into hostility. The situation was undoubtedly much more serious than Xuan Jun expected.

According to Xing Hai's description of Poseidon's deeds, this Poseidon is definitely a world-class BOSS without a doubt.

A being who is ready to cause the ocean to submerge all the land and kill all the creatures on it. The purity of the world-class BOSS is estimated to be even higher than that of the world-destroying black dragon.

This also explains why Xing Hai and Xuan Jun are so friendly. Even though they are allies, Xu Yue's charm value is obviously not enough to allow others to answer their questions, and precious golden honey and royal jelly are readily given away. It is obviously beyond the treatment of normal allies.

It is estimated that when he killed the mountain snapping turtle, the title effect 2 of the Savior Hero had been quietly activated, but he, who did not know the information about Poseidon at that time, was unaware of it.

He was sure that if he continued to face the hostility of this Poseidon, when the Poseidon's disaster really came, he might have to face the crazy pursuit of thousands of sea creatures, and the difficulty of survival would instantly increase several times. more than.

Even if you hide in the underground lair of the ants, you may not be able to avoid it, and this time, there is no warm-hearted goddess Altea.

Thinking of this, Xu Yue lowered his eyebrows. Very good. Under the backstab of the title, the nightmare difficulty survival trial has been successfully promoted to purgatory.

On the other side, Xuan Jun understood after noticing Xu Yue's changing expression.

"It seems that Your Excellency Xinhuo already knows the reason why Poseidon pays too much attention. I won't say more. In short, just stay away from the water. Even if it is a disaster from Poseidon, as long as you avoid it properly, the raging sea creatures will be busy. Even if you worship Poseidon, he won’t search for you deliberately, so don’t worry too much.”

'No! They will. Ever since I gained the Poseidon's hostility, I have become the best sacrifice. It is estimated that after the group of sea creatures come ashore, they will dig three feet into the ground to dig me out before worshiping the Poseidon. ’

Muttering something secretly in his heart, Xu Yue asked Xuan Jun in a deep voice:

"Commander Xuanjun, is there any way to eliminate the effect of the Poseidon's attention?"

Facing Xu Yue's inquiry, Xuan Jun shook his head decisively at first, and then said with some uncertainty:

"This is the power of gods. With my spiritual level, observation is already at the limit, let alone elimination. Even contact cannot be achieved, but..."

"But with the psychic energy of our ant queen, there may be a way to cover it up."

"The shielding is enough. I would like Commander Xuanjun to recommend one or two when the time comes."

"It's okay, the ants will not treat their allies badly, and the same goes for the ant queen."

…………

After talking about the topic of Poseidon, both sides fell into a brief silence. Xu Yue was silently thinking about the follow-up, and suddenly there was a negative buff of 'Poseidon Hostility'. No matter whether the ant queen had a way to cover it up, he would change it. I have my original plan for the follow-up. The worst-case scenario is just to be the hero who saves the world again.

While Xuan Jun was inspecting the progress of the worker ants carrying water, he was thinking about how to report the specific situation of the battle and this sudden extra human ally to the queen after returning to the ant nest.

Behind the two, Xing Hai was quietly looking at Xu Yue with curious eyes. It was trying to use "spiritual communication" to observe the Poseidon's attention on Xu Yue, but with its current insufficient mental strength, it obviously found nothing.

Time passed quickly in such silence. Soon, an hour and a half passed, and the huge lake was swallowed up by nearly a hundred thousand ants. Even the tiny lake creatures were not spared. All that was left was the huge, bare pit and the mountain turtle shell in the center of the pit.

In addition, not even a single aquatic plant was left in the pit, and it was so clean that after Xu Yue came back from his meditation and saw the pit in front of him, he couldn't help but be stunned for a few seconds before confirming that this was the pit. There is the vast blue lake not long ago.

"Your Excellency Xinhuo, this turtle shell should be your trophy. We will not dispose of it rashly. Do you need to help you move it back to the ant nest?"

The questioning sound in his ears broke Xu Yue's daze. After hesitating for a few seconds, Xu Yue looked at the huge turtle shell in the center of the pit, and Fang Tian's painted halberd quietly emerged in his hand.

Then he exerted force with his strong arms and waved away the air waves with the halberd in his hand. At the same time, translucent black shadows of the halberd detached from the halberd and flew out, hitting the small mountains on the turtle shell in all directions.

"Boom! Boom boom boom..."

For a moment, there was a continuous roar, and rubble flew and was destroyed. Each halberd shadow would blast a huge hole in the mountains. With the special attack of 'Breaking Mountains and Crossing Mountains' against rocks, the mountains were shattered surprisingly fast. .

After just over ten breaths, the rising smoke dissipated, leaving only a slightly ferocious turtle shell on the spot.

The snapping turtle's shell is a purple-quality fine forging material. Of course he won't let it go if he can take it away, but the mountains above it are worthless.

"I'm sorry, Commander Xuanjun."

"It's just a small thing."

He casually dispatched dozens of soldier ants to carry the turtle shells. Xuan Jun turned around and faced the direction of the ant nest, and his mental fluctuations instantly spread throughout the entire army.

"The whole army sets out and returns home!"
