Reincarnation Paradise: The Crucible

In the quiet cave, Fei Lian, who was still unconscious, was casually discarded on the edge of the rock wall. Next to her was a giant green wolf staring at her throat. Farther away, there was an eye of insight in her hand. Xu Yue lowered his eyes to check the investigation information.

He was very interested in the unknown voyeuristic ability of this cat demon, and if he guessed correctly, the opponent's reliance on being able to lock the core of the formation should also come from this.

"Dongzhen..."

Looking at the large amount of information displayed on the virtual screen, Xu Yue immediately locked onto the psychic ability called 'Dongzhen'.

Although the description of this ability is quite concise, sometimes the more general it is, the more powerful its effect is.

His eyes fell on Fei Lian's closed eyes, which were still stained with blood. Xu Yue rubbed the plundering brooch in his hand. After pondering for a moment, he finally gave up the tempting option of using the brooch to rob the opponent's ability.

The formation thing is really too unfamiliar to him. Even if he has the 'Dongzhen', he can't guarantee that he can find the so-called core of the formation in a short time. In this case, there is no need to increase the risk for this. , after all, leaving the cave as soon as possible to carry out the awakening mission is the most important thing now.

After putting away the brooch and the Eye of Insight, Xu Yue took out a bottle of more ordinary white recovery potion from the space, and forcefully drank it directly to the flying practitioner on the surface, and then stopped paying attention to her. situation, but began to close his eyes and sense the other four wolf clones that he had sent out for external exploration.

Using the brooch as a medium, the vision of the wolves can be shared with him simultaneously, so even without leaving home, he can still understand the current situation of the entire cave with extremely high efficiency.

The closed eyelids caused his vision to be dim, but as the plundering brooch began to glow with luster, four completely different special perspectives soon unfolded simultaneously in his mind, and benefited from the 'dispersion of thoughts'. Although the multi-tasking ability brought about by these viewing angles seems a bit chaotic, it is far from a trouble for Xu Yue.

The seemingly endless tunnels and caves, the occasional brutal fights that can be seen in the dim light, the bloody eyes of beasts that attack fiercely from time to time, the light red light mist that constantly floats and gathers but then dissipates without a trace, and the scattered and everywhere. Pale bones with tooth marks...

Various scenes with very different contents and styles but the same depressing mood quickly surged through Xu Yue's mind. In less than thirty minutes, after paying the price of all four wolves being hunted one after another, a bloody and cruel The image of the cave was completely and truly presented before Xu Yue's eyes.

Compared with the information he learned from Cang Teeth, the current situation of the cave he observed through Cang Lang's perspective is undoubtedly more real and cruel. The scale of this strange cave is indeed huge and almost endless, but the scale Although it is large, resources are quite scarce.

The closed cave cannot form a complete ecological chain at all. There is no food here at all. Even the luminous moss growing on the rock wall is full of toxins that cannot be removed. As for the water source, it is completely Relying on the sparse groundwater that occasionally drips from the top of the cave.

In other words, if you want to survive in this strange cave, you must constantly fight with other beings in the cave. The scarce water source needs to be fought for, and for food, the opponent who is killed is the best. And the only food.

If things go on like this, even without the influence of those vicious spiritual qualities, the mental state of most creatures that can survive for a long time is only a thin line away from madness.

That's why Cangya said that they were both miserable prisoners and cruel Gu insects. In some ways, this place was a giant Gu breeding ground created by the tiger demon clan.

They have been adding new Gu insects to this Gu farm for hundreds of years. While stimulating these Gu insects to kill each other all the time, they also hope that this Gu farm can cultivate what they have always hoped for. The real Gu King - the ferocious beast Qiongqi...

The perspective picture in his mind had long returned to darkness, but Xu Yue still closed his eyes tightly and silently sorted out the information. After a long time, he slowly opened his eyes. In front of him was still the dim and silent rock cave, and the only difference was that no longer Fei Lian, who was supposed to be lying on the ground in the distance, was sitting upright in a cross-legged position.

As she breathed in and out, light red spots visible to the naked eye began to undulate on the surface of her body, and next to her was a giant green wolf that was staring at the target with an expression that was about to move.

Feeling Xu Yue's gaze directed towards him, Fei Lian, who was breathing out spiritual essence, froze for a moment, while the green wolf with exposed fangs quickly straightened his head and looked sideways with a fawning look on his face.

‘Master, I’ve got her under my radar. If she dares to move, I’ll bite her to death! ’

Relatively clear mental fluctuations came from Canglang. Xu Yue raised his eyebrows slightly, nodded lightly and signaled him to leave the cave first to be on guard.

On the other side, as the footsteps of the wolf gradually faded away, Fei Lian on the edge of the rock wall slowly opened his eyes. The light red spots lingering on the body surface quickly dissipated, and in the center was a pair of scarlet eyes. Fierce beast eyes.

After a while, the rich scarlet color in those eyes gradually dissipated, replaced by the familiar yellow and green pupils, but deep in the pupils, there was a faint trace of blood that lingered.

"It seems that your psychic ability called 'Dongzhen' cannot completely immunize you against the erosion of the evil spirit."

The indifferent voice rang in Fei Lian's ears. After hearing the words, her body that was sitting cross-legged stiffened slightly, and then she said with a wry smile:

"The erosion of ectoplasm goes straight to the essence of the soul. It is impossible to be completely immune to this situation. All I can do is try my best to suppress it. Although I am still lingering, fortunately it can allow me to persist for a while longer."

"But the effect of suppression is getting worse and worse. At least... I would never have been so reckless two years ago."

While speaking, Fei Lian stood up and looked at Xu Yue on the other side. Their eyes met. She bent down to apologize decisively and sincerely. Let's not talk about how credible it is, but at least this gesture was sufficient.

"Peering into other people's bodies without their consent is a great provocation. I apologize and am willing to compensate and bear any cost!"

"Oh? What are you going to pay for it?"

"What do you think of this? After being slowly absorbed, this gem can resist erosion. It is very useful in the cave."

After finishing speaking, Xu Yue's eyes flashed when he looked at the transparent crystal in Fei Lian's hand, but he quickly suppressed the look of surprise on his face.

"How many do you have in your hand?"

"Well, I relied on this thing to persist in the cave for two years, and this is the last one."

"Only one is not enough to save your life, and you consumed an extremely precious bottle of healing potion during the coma. You also need to pay the price of the latter."

Blinking his eyes, Fei Lian recalled that when he was unconscious, he seemed to have felt a weak warm current flowing into his stomach. As for the effect, well, it seemed to be not much different from the spiritual vegetables and fruits widely grown in her tribe. Could it be that I felt wrong...

The memories in his mind were still flooding, but when he noticed the increasingly dangerous gaze from the other side, Fei Lian immediately wisely passed over this insignificant detail and continued quickly.

"Ahem, one gem is indeed missing. How about it be used as a deposit first? As long as we can escape from the cave and return to the clan, I will hand over five gems of the same size."

"Fifty!"

Please...you...collect 6...books...!

Listening to the insipid quotation from the other side that could be described as a lion's mouth wide open, Fei Lian suddenly felt his breath stagnant, fifty? Don't talk about her, the entire Moon Cat clan doesn't have this number.

"If you want me to die, you can just say it. Even if you sell the whole package, it won't be worth fifty. This kind of gem is a treasure that can significantly increase the effect of fairy-level beings. I can only take out 10 at most. , This is all the stock of our Moon Cat clan.”

"Then take 10, deal!"

"Eh?!"

Ignoring Fei Lian's surprise, Xu Yue raised his hand to take the soul crystal from the opponent's hand (middle), and then took out a white sticky alchemy bomb and a transparent glass ball filled with golden and red flames from the space. Then the glass ball is stuffed directly into the glue, and after a few random kneadings, a large, round white pill is formed.

After making it, Xu Yue didn't mean to hide it at all. He directly took the white pill and threw it to Feilian on the other side, and said calmly: "Take it, and after the balance is settled, I will help you cancel it."

Looking at the seemingly ordinary white medicine in his hand, Fei Lian wanted to keep smiling, but the corners of his stiff mouth could not move even slightly.

She witnessed the entire formation process of this thing with her own eyes. She might not know the composition of the white gel, but she was very familiar with the golden red flames wrapped in the glass ball.

Once this thing exploded in her body, the boiling flames would probably burn her intestines and stomach in an instant. Even if she survived, her fate would definitely not be good.

"Can I not eat it? I swear on the reputation of the Moon Cat Clan that as long as I can escape from the cave, I will definitely keep my promise!"

"What do you think?"

As the faint voice spread, wisps of black evil spirit began to gradually overflow from Xu Yue's body surface. In an instant, the temperature in the entire cave dropped sharply, like the underworld.

The yellow and green pupils suddenly expanded. At this moment, Fei Lian felt that the surrounding cave seemed to have turned into an endless bloody battlefield, with corpses piled up like mountains and blood piled up like a sea. She could even smell the sticky bloody smell all around, and the piercing coldness that seemed to be inflicted by thousands of swords and weapons.

To be honest, compared with the evil spirit on the opposite side, she felt that the evil spirits in the cave seemed to be nothing more than that.

"Boss, calm down, I'll eat! I'll eat!!"

"Gurgle~"

Just after breaking free from the illusion, Fei Lian did not dare to delay any longer. She quickly picked up the pill in her hand and swallowed it in one gulp. With the sound of difficult swallowing, the black evil spirit spreading around was taken back into Xu Yue's body.

Soon the evil spirit dissipated, and the temperature in the cave returned to normal. He glanced at the embarrassed cat demon on the opposite side who was choking and rolling his eyes because the pill was too big. He took out a bottle of water from the space and threw it casually. Fei Lian took it and tore off the bottle cap of the water bottle, and then the sound of gurgling drinking spread.

After drinking the whole bottle of water in one gulp, Fei Lian's mood calmed down a lot. Even the groundwater in this ghost place, Qiongqi Cave, had a faint smell of blood. God knows how long she hasn't replenished such normal water.

Moreover, although life and death are out of control after taking the pill, in other words, it also means that the big boss on the opposite side should not abandon her easily, otherwise there is no need to spend his thoughts on her. At least before escaping the cave, the stronger the other party is, the safer she will be.

Thinking of this, her nervous and panicked thoughts suddenly relaxed, and even the corners of her lips, which looked more rosy due to the water stains, unconsciously raised a relaxed smile.

"It tastes good, and it's a little sweet."

Looking at the transparent water bottle in her hand, Fei Lian stretched out her pink tongue to lick the remaining water stains on her lips. After savoring it for two seconds, she decisively raised her eyes to look at Xu Yue on the opposite side, and asked hesitantly:

"Uh, boss, is there anything to eat?"

"...Yes."

Ten minutes later, Xu Yue looked at the cat demon opposite who was holding a food box and eating voraciously, and his mouth twitched slightly. This guy finished four instant lunch boxes produced by the park workers in just ten minutes, and he didn't seem to be full yet.

Sure enough, less than twenty seconds later, Fei Lian put down the clean and new lunch box in her hand again, and once again raised her watery yellow-green eyes, looking straight at the tall figure on the other side, and continued with confidence.

"I'm not full, boss, do you have anything else?"

"...Yes, but before that, tell me, what did you see on me when you used Dong Zhen before?"

Hearing this, Fei Lian's lunch box was crushed by the huge force that burst out inadvertently, and a strong fear quickly emerged in his eyes.

"I saw a demon god that can reach the sky and the earth, or...it should be a...witch!"

"Witch?"
